Chitosan-derived carbon microspheres (CMs) are potential adsorbents for antibiotics wastewater treatment due to their plentiful amino and hydroxyl groups. However, a pressing challenge for their practical application is how to enrich the adsorption site to further improve the adsorption capacity. Here, a novel adsorbent via 2-methylimidazole (2MIm) functionalization of bimetallic Cu/Al doped CMs (denoted as 2MIm-Cu/Al@CMs x ) was constructed through a facile hydrothermal method and a subsequent immersion step. The optimized material of 2MIm-Cu/Al@CMs 50 achieved maximum adsorption capacity of 1616.49 mg g -1 for tetracycline (TC) with the initial concetration of 500 mg L -1 and the adsorbent dosage of 5 mg (25 °C), showing 64.62% growth compared to the non-functionalized Cu/Al@CMs counterpart. The improved adsorption performance was attributed to the additional Cu-N sites and π-π interactions via 2MIm modification, working synergistically with hydrogen bonding, electrostatic attraction, and metal complexation. Systematic adsorption kinetics, isotherms and thermodynamics analysis revealed that the adsorption of TC on 2MIm-Cu/Al@CMs 50 was spontaneous and endothermic, and obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models. Besides, 2MIm-Cu/Al@CMs 50 exhibited excellent reusability, and practical potential in real wastewater. This work provides a strategic design of functionalized CMs for the efficient removal of antibiotic pollutants.

The development of composite materials is a key area of research for enhancing the electrochemical performance of electrode materials. In this study, NiCo–S nanostructured hybrid electrode materials were prepared on nickel foam (NF) by using binary metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as the sacrificial template through a two-step hydrothermal method. Ni–MOF was then deposited on the surface of NiCo–S/NF through the hydrothermal method and subsequently converted into Ni(OH) 2 through a subsequent alkalization treatment. The duration of the Ni–MOF hydrothermal process was varied as a parameter. NiCo–S@Ni–MOF/NF was prepared through hydrothermal reaction for 6 h, 9 h and 12 h, followed by heating in a 6 M KOH solution at 75 ∘ C for 6 h in a water bath. The electrode materials with the best morphology and electrochemical properties were obtained when the hydrothermal reaction time was 6 h. The optimized electrode had a specific capacity of 2533.2 F ⋅ g − 1 at 1 A ⋅ g − 1 and a capacity retention rate of 60.8% at 10 A ⋅ g − 1 , which indicated good rate performance. Additionally, the electrode material demonstrated excellent cycling stability, with a capacity retention rate of 95.3% after 5000 cycles at 50 mV ⋅ s − 1 . The energy density of the hybrid supercapacitor device assembled from this electrode material was 33.5 Wh ⋅ kg − 1 when the power density was 849.89 W ⋅ kg − 1 at a current density of 1 A ⋅ g − 1 .

The development of bone repair scaffolds has long been a research hotspot in tissue engineering. Owing to its unique capability for personalized customization of scaffold geometry and microstructure, 3D printing technology has been extensively adopted for fabricating bone repair scaffolds. Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), endowed with favorable biodegradability, excellent biocompatibility, and reliable in vivo safety, is widely used as a matrix material for 3D printed bone repair scaffolds. PLLA is a bioinert polymer characterized by inferior cell adhesion and osteogenic differentiation capabilities. To mitigate this bioinertness limitation, the present study employed N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) etching to modify the surface of 3D-printed PLLA bone repair scaffolds. Following NMP etching for 1–24 h, the originally smooth scaffold surface evolved into a hierarchical, petal-like gradient microstructure, accompanied by a marked increase in surface roughness. Correspondingly, the hydrophilicity of the treated scaffolds was also enhanced. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses further confirmed that the crystallinity of PLLA in the scaffolds was significantly enhanced. Concomitantly, the modified scaffolds exhibited a marked improvement in adsorption capacity for green fluorescent protein (GFP), while the adhesion and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 on their surface were also significantly promoted. In vivo animal experiments demonstrated that the NMP-etched scaffolds could accelerate the process of bone defect repair. Collectively, surface modification of 3D-printed PLLA bone scaffolds via NMP etching enables precise modulation of their physicochemical properties, thereby effectively mitigating the inherent bioinertness limitation of PLLA scaffolds.

Thermodynamically driven biosynthesis of D-tagatose attracts increasing attention because it overcomes the reaction equilibrium caused by aldose isomerization or ketose epimerization. Specific aldose reductase and D-galactitol 2-dehydrogenase may drive the conversion of D-galactose to D-tagatose through galactitol as the intermediate. In this study, a novel D-galactitol 2-dehydrogenase was identified from a Rhizobiaceae bacterium with the NCBI accession No. of MDF1774848. The enzyme was expressed in His-tagged form and purified by one-step nickel-affinity chromatography. The recombinant enzyme showed the highest activity at pH 9.5 and 30 °C. It showed galactitol as the optimal substrate and D-sorbitol as the second substate. It's in vivo D-tagatose production ability was verified in a metabolically engineered Escherichia coli strain. Using a previously constructed galactitol-producing strain as a chassis microbe, genomic integration of this D-galactitol 2-dehydrogenase gene resulted in the efficient production of D-tagatose with a titer of 1.85 g/L.

Mixed electronic and oxide ionic conduction was enabled in digermanate-type La2−xCaxGe2O7−x/2 containing Ge3O10 chains and isolated GeO4 units by substitution of La3+ with Ca2+. The structure and solid solution limit of Ca doped La2Ge2O7 were studied by systematic experiments, including rotation electron diffraction (RED), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and neutron powder diffraction (NPD) experiments, etc. The preferred occupation of Ca2+ and oxygen vacancies was investigated by Rietveld analysis of the NPD data. The obtained conducting material La1.925Ca0.075Ge2O6.963 exhibits superior thermal stability and an order of magnitude improvement in conductivity compared to the parent La2Ge2O7 (∼9 × 10−5 S cm−1 at 1000 °C). BVEL calculations reveal that the oxygen vacancies were stabilized and transported within the framework of La2Ge2O7 by sharing oxygen and oxygen exchange between the adjacent Ge3O10 chains and GeO4 units, exhibiting a three-dimensional oxide ion transport nature.

Carbon nanotubes and reduced graphene oxides (CNTs/rGO) sphere decorated with Cu 2 O, CuO nanoparticles (Cu x O–CNTs/rGO) was successfully synthesized by spray drying and post-calcinating method for the first time. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy observations confirmed that CNTs/rGO formed a spherical micrometer structure and Cu x O nanoparticles were decorated on their surface. The experimental results indicated that this novel architecture enhanced photocatalytic performance with 97.5% decomposition of methyl orange (MO) after 20 min in the presence of H 2 O 2 under visible light irradiation, which was much higher than that of pure Cu x O powders (31.2%).

This work aims to fabricate the Yb:LuScO 3 sesquioxides transparent ceramics for use in ultrafast and ultrashort laser technology. 1 at.% Yb:LuScO 3 nanopowders were fabricated using the glycine-nitrate process. ZrO(NO 3 ) 2 was selected as the precursor of ZrO 2 which functions as a sintering aid. Yb:LuScO 3 transparent ceramics with different ZrO 2 content were fabricated by vacuum sintering at 1780 °C and HIPing at 1650 °C, among which the ceramic with 7 at.% ZrO 2 showed the highest transmittance, reaching 81 % at 2000 nm. The ceramic achieved a maximum output power of 1.5 W at 1038 nm with a slope efficiency of 34.8 % and tunable wavelength range exceeding 22 nm. The results demonstrated that Yb:LuScO 3 transparent ceramics can be considered as promising materials in 1 μm solid-state laser applications.

Manipulating the “bacterial current” by targeting the electron transport chain (ETC) presents a transformative antibacterial strategy, yet achieving precise targeting and elucidating the molecular mechanism remain challenging. Here, we break through the synthetic bottleneck to engineer a robust, electron-donating nanomaterial for targeted bacterial ETC disruption. A novel in-situ sulfur-doping and vacancy-engineering strategy was employed to fabricate porous Mo(SO)₂ from MoS₂, which features abundant oxygen vacancies and expanded interlayer spacing. These vacancies serve as electron-deficient centers that facilitate a rapid and strong electron donation. By functionalizing with 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA) for targeting, the electrons are specifically transferred to the bacterial ETC. We systematically unveil the molecular mechanism: the donated electrons suppress the expression of ubiC , a key chorismate lyase for ubiquinone synthesis, via interaction with the guanidyl group of Arg63. This disruption halts proton pumping and ATP synthesis, leading to bacterial death via energy depletion.

A preceramic polymer for ZrC was successfully synthesised by chemical reaction between zirconium oxychloride (ZrOCl2·8H2O) and 2-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol via a one-pot route. The molecular structure, thermal properties and pyrolysis behaviour of the precursor were investigated. The results indicated that the precursor might be Zr–O–Zr chain polymer with 2-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol as ligand. The precursor was air-stable and exhibited excellent solubility in common organic solvents. The conversions from precursor to ZrC powders were investigated by TG-DTA, X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscope, TEM and Raman spectrum. The precursor underwent a thermal decomposition in four steps, and ZrC powders were formed at 1300°C via carbothermal reduction reaction of ZrO2 and carbon in argon with ceramic yield of 63.0%. The ZrC particles were fine and exhibited irregular polyhedron morphology with average size in the range of 100–300 nm.

Tailoring efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst with dual-heterojunction is crucial for overall water splitting (OWS). Herein, a multicomponent bifunctional catalyst with dual-heterojunction is rapidly constructed via sequential electrodeposition for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that bidirectional electron transfer at the interface induces a double built-in electric field (BIEF) in Pt/CeO 2 -Ni(OH) 2 , which offers additional impetus for electron transport and brings the d -band center closer to the Fermi level, thereby optimizing reaction kinetics and the adsorption of reaction intermediates. Active Pt and CeO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) are uniformly anchored on the stable Ni(OH) 2 nanoflocs, ensuring high exposure of active sites and preventing NPs aggregation. Meanwhile, Ni(OH) 2 , serving as abundant electron donor center, forms dual heterointerface with Pt and CeO 2 (Pt-Ni(OH) 2 and CeO 2 -Ni(OH) 2 ), which ensures structural stability during electrochemical processes. Benefiting from the dual-heterojunction and the unique structure design, Pt/CeO 2 -Ni(OH) 2 exhibits excellent electrocatalytic performance, requiring only 66 mV (10 mA cm −2 ) and 278 mV (100 mA cm −2 ) for HER and OER, respectively. Remarkably, the two-electrode electrolyzer based on Pt/CeO 2 -Ni(OH) 2 electrode requires only 1.49 V to deliver 10 mA cm −2 with an excellent durability for OWS. This work brings light to the rational design and directional construction of bifunctional electrocatalyst hybrid nanomaterials with multiple heterojunctions.
