Magnesium alloys suffer from severe icing, corrosion, and mechanical degradation under harsh marine and cold environments, which significantly limit their practical applications. Herein, a durable photothermal superhydrophobic surface with a laser-induced honeycomb–micropillar architecture was developed on AZ91D magnesium alloy by integrating TiN nanoparticles and phase-change material (PCM) microcapsules. The laser-generated honeycomb–micropillar structure not only enhances coating adhesion through interfacial mechanical interlocking but also improves solar energy utilization by promoting multiple reflection and scattering of incident light. The TiN nanoparticles provide efficient photothermal conversion, while PCM microcapsules introduce latent heat buffering for thermal regulation during icing and de-icing processes. The optimized SLSHC surface exhibits a water contact angle of 165.2° and achieves an icing delay time of 888 s at −15 °C, which is further extended by the synergistic contribution of the honeycomb–micropillar structure and PCM latent heat. Under 1 sun irradiation, the surface temperature rapidly increases to 73.6 °C and complete ice melting is achieved within 428 s. Electrochemical measurements demonstrate that the SLSHC surface exhibits significantly enhanced corrosion resistance, with improved barrier protection attributed to the reduced solid–liquid contact area and mechanically anchored coating interface. This work provides a multifunctional surface design strategy for magnesium alloys with integrated anti-icing, de-icing, corrosion protection, and mechanical durability in harsh environments.

Thermal energy storage , management, and utilization with phase change materials have received increasing attention in industrial fields such as photo-thermal-electric conversion and integrated circuit cooling. However, the inherent low thermal conductivity and melting leakage are long-term bottlenecks that prevent their widespread commercial application. Herein, a novel composite phase change material (CPCM) with high-thermal conductivity and stability based on bionic porous SiC skeleton is proposed, which is oriented by optimized freeze casting to design vertical tree-ring porous structure for fast photo-thermal conversion and storage. The results demonstrate the novel bionic SiC skeleton can regulate the porosity (50%–70%) by changing the slurry solid content, which also exhibits good anisotropic thermal conductivity. SiC/paraffin CPCM's mass and latent enthalpy of attenuated merely by 0.87% and 1.5% after 200 repeated heat storage/exhaustion cycles, confirming its excellent longevity and stability. The high-temperature SiC/NaCl-MgCl 2 -KCl CPCM has a thermal conductivity of 12.54 W‧m −1 ‧K −1 , an effective thermal-storage density per production cost of 74.5 kJ‧CNY -1 , and a high photo-thermal storage efficiency of 91.8%. Finally, a variable-power chip dissipation experimental system was built to verify the thermal performance of the CPCM module in the paper. It could dissipate heat rapidly and maintain a lower temperature. This work provides a promising strategy for photo-thermal utilization and thermal management of electronic devices.

Understanding the influence of the inner shell on fluorescence blinking and exciton dynamics is essential to promote the optical performances of InP-based quantum dots (QDs). Here, the fluorescence blinking, exciton dynamics, second-order correlation function g2(τ), and ultrafast carrier dynamics of InP/ZnSe/ZnS QDs regulated by the inner ZnSe shell thickness varying from 2 to 7 monolayers (MLs) were systematically investigated. With an inner ZnSe shell thickness of 5 MLs, the photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY) can reach 98% due to the suppressed blinking and increased probability of multiphoton emission. The exciton dynamics of InP/ZnSe/ZnS QDs with different inner shells indicates that two decay components of neural excitons and charged trions are competitive to affect the photon emission behavior. The probability density distributions of the ON and OFF state duration in the blinking traces demonstrate an effective manipulation of the inner ZnSe shell in the non-radiative processes via defect passivation. Accordingly, the radiative recombination dominates the exciton deactivation and the non-radiative Auger recombination rate is remarkably reduced, leading to a QY close to unity and a high PL stability for InP/ZnSe/ZnS QDs with 5 MLs of the ZnSe shell. These results provide insights into the photophysical mechanism of InP-based QDs and are significant for developing novel semiconductor PL core/shell QDs.

Background RE1 Silencing Transcription factor (REST) corepressor 1 (RCOR1) has been reported to orchestrate neurogenesis, while its role in cerebral palsy (CP) remains elusive. Besides, RCOR1 can interact with Endothelin-1 (EDN1), and EDN1 expression is related to brain damage. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the effects of RCOR1/EDN1 on brain damage during the progression of CP. Methods CP rats were established via hypoxia–ischemia insult, and injected with lentivirus-RCOR1, followed by examination of brain pathological conditions. The RCOR1 and EDN1 interaction was recognized using hTFtarget. Healthy rat cortical neuron cells received interference of RCOR1/EDN1 expression, and underwent oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) treatment, after which phenotypic and molecular assays were conducted through the biochemical method, qRT-PCR and/or western blot. Results RCOR1 was low-expressed but EDN1 was high-expressed in CP model rats and OGD/R-treated neurons. RCOR1 overexpression ameliorated rat neurobehaviors, alleviated brain pathological conditions, reduced TUNEL-positive cells, decreased the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA), increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) level and repressed EDN1 expression in the brains of CP model rats. In neurons, RCOR1 overexpression counteracted OGD/R-induced viability decrease, reduction of the levels of RCOR1, SOD, Bcl-2, caspase-3, p-Akt/Akt and p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β, and elevation of the levels of EDN1, ROS, Bax, and cleaved caspase-3, while EDN1 overexpression did contrarily on these events. Moreover, there was a negative interplay between RCOR1 overexpression and EDN1 overexpression in OGD/R-induced neurons. Conclusion RCOR1 ameliorates neurobehaviors and suppresses neuronal apoptosis and oxidative stress in CP through EDN1 targeting-mediated upregulation of Akt/GSK-3β.

Emerging contaminant N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine has caused severe threats to ecosystems, necessitating the development of highly sensitive detection methods. Herein, a reliable and ultra-sensitive electrochemical sensor based on a carbon paste electrode modified by hexagonal wurtzite zinc oxide was developed for selective determination and degradation of N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine. Experimental results demonstrated the successful application of the sensor for detecting N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine in soil samples. The contaminant contents were found to be 1.46–24.68 nmol L −1 in Zhengzhou City and 1.99–11.3 nmol L −1 in Pingdingshan City, respectively, along with a satisfactory recovery rate. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the hexagonal wurtzite zinc oxide crystal significantly decreased the activation energy of catalytic conversion compared to cubic sphalerite , resulting in a notable improvement in sensor response. Cryogenic electron microscopy technique further confirmed that the electrocatalytic degradation product of N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine was not toxic N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine quinone . Under optimal analysis conditions, the sensor achieved widely low as well as high linear ranges (0.1–800 nmol L −1 and 0.9–20 μmol L −1 ) with a low detection limitation (33 pmol L −1 ), indicating that such a highly sensitive and cost-effective electrochemical sensor has the potential for environmental pollutants monitoring .

Chemically activated biochar with richer pore structure and higher specific surface area is well suited for loading phase change materials (PCMs). However, the effect of structural characteristics and abundant surface functional groups of chemically activated biochar on the thermal properties of PCMs has not been systematically investigated. Here, shape-stable samples were prepared by introducing biochar obtained by activation with different chemical reagents (ZnCl 2 , H 3 PO 4 , KOH, and K 2 CO 3 ) into three organic PCMs (paraffin, stearic acid , and polyethylene glycol). The results indicated that the biochar activated by KOH possessed the highest specific surface area of 1344.45 m 2 /g, followed by biochar activated by ZnCl 2 , H 3 PO 4 , and K 2 CO 3 of 1297.35, 1062.74, and 891.38 m 2 /g, respectively. The loading capacity of KOH-activated biochar was as high as 82.12 %, 83.13 %, and 80.81 % for the three organic PCMs, and the melting enthalpies of corresponding composite PCMs were 163.82, 168.54, and 139.96 kJ/kg. Additionally, the influence degree on the enthalpies of the three PCMs was only 10.84 %, 12.26 %, and 7.74 %, while that of ZnCl 2 and H 3 PO 4 -activated biochar was as high as 53.61 % and 44.22 %, 52.10 %, and 57.74 %, 55.35 % and 45.79 % indicating the two biochar were not suitable as support materials for PCMs. Moreover, ZnCl 2 -activated biochar has the most apparent upgradation on PCMs' thermal conductivity , which could increase the thermal conductivity of the three organic PCMs by 1.318, 1.34, and 1.229 times, respectively, followed by H 3 PO 4 , K 2 CO 3 , and KOH-activated biochar.

Oil displacing agents used in oil drilling and extraction can improve crude oil recovery. Acrylamide polymers were the most common oil displacing agents because of their high viscosity and low cost. However, conventional acrylamide polymers were susceptible to hydrolysis and thermal degradation in harsh reservoir conditions. Unique physical and chemical properties of nanoparticles promise to improve the performance of acrylamide polymers in harsh reservoir conditions. In this paper, the nano-micron copolymers of acrylamide (AM), 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propane sulfonic acid (AMPS), and modified nano-silica (M-SiO2) were synthesized by two methods: aqueous solution polymerization and inverse emulsion polymerization, named W-PAAGS and E-PAAGS, respectively. The characterization was studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetry (TG), particle size analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thickening ability, temperature resistance, salt resistance, and thermal stability of the two polymers synthesized were studied. The results showed that E-PAAGS had a better thickening ability than W-PAAGS. The viscosity of the E-PAAGS solution was much higher than that of the W-PAAGS solution at polymer concentrations above 5000 mg/L. The temperature and salt resistance of E-PAAGS was also better than that of the W-PAAGS. In addition, E-PAAGS exhibits better aging stability. After 30 days of aging, E-PAAGS had 71.3% viscosity retention whereas only 52.7% retention was observed for W-PAAGS, and the viscosity of E-PAAGS was always higher than that of W-PAAGS. The significant difference properties of W-PAAGS and E-PAAGS was due to the differences in copolymer structure caused by the different polymerization methods.

Magnetic metal absorbers exhibit remarkable microwave absorption capacity. However, their practical application is severely limited due to their susceptibility to corrosion, particularly in marine environments. To address this challenge, we propose a novel approach involving the modification and control of FeCo/rGO microwave absorbers using rare earth lanthanum (La). This strategy aims to achieve both high-performance microwave absorption and enhanced resistance to marine corrosion. In this study, we employ a La 2 O 3 modifying control strategy to refine the FeCo magnetic particles and coat them with CoFe 2 O 4 on the surface, leveraging the pinning effect of in situ generated La 2 O 3 . This process enhances the interface polarization of the absorbers, thereby improving their electromagnetic performance and marine corrosion resistance . Consequently, the La 2 O 3 modified FeCo@rGO composites exhibit broadband absorption, covering a wide frequency range of 6.11 GHz at 1.55 mm. Notably, the electromagnetic properties of the La 2 O 3 modified FeCo@rGO absorbers remain stable even after prolonged exposure to a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, simulating marine conditions, for at least 15 days. Furthermore, we perform first-principle calculations on FeCo and FeCo O to validate the corrosion resistance of the La 2 O 3 modified FeCo@rGO composites at the atomic level. This comprehensive investigation explores the control of rare earth lanthanum modification on the size of magnetic metal particles, enabling efficient electromagnetic wave absorption and marine corrosion resistance. The results of this study provide a novel and facile strategy for the control of microwave absorbers, offering promising prospects for future research and development in this field.

Natural polymers and minerals can be combined to simulate natural bone for repairing bone defects. However, bone defects are often irregular and pose challenges for their repair. To overcome these challenges, we prepared Chitosan/Polydopamine/Octacalcium phosphate (CS/PDA/OCP) microcarriers that mimic bone composition and micro-size to adapt to different bone defect defects. CS/PDA microspheres were prepared by emulsion phase separation method and PDA in-situ polymerization. Finally, it was used to adsorb and immobilize OCP particles, resulting in the preparation of CS/PDA/OCP composite microcarriers. The microcarriers maintain an interconnected porous structure and appropriate porosity, which promotes cell adhesion, proliferation, and nutrient exchange. Subsequently, the protein adsorption capacity, simulated degradation, cell adhesion and proliferation capacity of the composite microcarriers were investigated. Additionally, their ability to simulate mineralization and induce osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs was characterized. The results demonstrated that the composite microcarrier had good biocompatibility and was conducive to cell adhesion and proliferation. Moreover, ALP and ARS staining revealed that the addition of OCP significantly enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. These results indicate that the composite microcarrier has promising prospects for bone repair applications.

Repairing infected bone defects remains a severe challenge due to antibiotic abuse and recurrence. Hence, we modified magnetocaloric Fe3O4 nanoparticles and added them to magnesium calcium phosphate bone cement (MCPC) to fabricate multifunctional magnetic composites for sequential bacterial inhibition, angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Nevertheless, high doses of Mg ions and Fe ions were released from MCPC, which adversely affected osteogenesis. Thus, Fe3O4 was modified using gelatin according to the emulsification crosslinking method, which exhibited a controllable magnetocaloric effect and degradation behavior, and favorable anti-bacterial ability under the action of an alternating magnetic field (AMF). In the early stage, the residual MgO created a local strong alkaline microenvironment by hydrolysis, which inhibited the function and activity of S. aureus and E. coli. At the later stage, the MCPC composites were controllably degraded under the function of gelatin and maintained a long-term local slight alkaline microenvironment that promoted the osteogenic differentiation and mineralization of BMSCs. In vivo subcutaneous implantation experiments further indicated that MCPC composites showed good biocompatibility and facilitated angiogenesis, presenting a promising future in magnetic materials design and infectious bone defect repair.

Herein, magnetic and conductive heterogeneous nickel-matrix alloy is in situ constructed in the high-entropy transition metal oxide matrix using a reductive circumstance, to form the high-temperature resistant microwave absorbers. The ohmic, dielectric polarization and magnetic loss are enhanced synergistically, prompting the improvement of loss capacity and optimization of the impedance matching feature. The composites achieve over 90% absorption in the whole Ku band with a thickness of just 1.55 mm at room temperature. Moreover, the in situ high temperature measured microwave absorption keeps stable till 500 °C. In situ characterizations are employed to investigate the evolution processes and failure mechanisms. As the temperature elevates, there are three distinct stages. The absorber goes through minor chemical reactions, consequent elimination of magnetic loss, and a rapid increase in electroconductivity. These behaviors culminate in impedance mismatch, finally worsening its absorption performance at elevated temperatures. The proposed evaluation process reveals how the above irreversible and reversible behaviors affect high-temperature microwave absorption, providing an effective theoretical basis for the design of high-temperature microwave absorbers.

Porous skeletons play a crucial role in various applications. Their fundamental significance stems from their remarkable surface area and capacity to enhance mass adsorption and transport. Freeze-casting is a commonly utilized methodology for the production of porous skeletons featuring vertically aligned channels. Nevertheless, the resultant single-oriented skeleton displays anisotropic mass transfer characteristics and suboptimal mechanical properties. Our investigation was motivated by the intricate microstructures observed in botanical organisms, leading us to devise an advanced freeze-casting methodology. A novel central-radial skeleton with significantly enhanced capabilities has been successfully engineered. The central-radial architecture demonstrates superior refinement and uniformity in its pore structure, featuring an axial mass transfer axis and meticulously arranged radial channels. This microstructure endows the porous skeleton with a higher compression resilience, superior adsorption rate, and structural maintenance capacity. Through a rigorous examination of the thermal conductivity of skeleton-filled composites coupled with comprehensive COMSOL simulations, the exceptional characteristics of this unique structural arrangement have been definitively ascertained. Furthermore, the efficacy of implementing this skeleton in chip cooling and photothermal conversion has been convincingly substantiated. Our pioneering method of microstructure preparation, employing freeze-casting, holds immense potential in expanding its applicability and inspiring innovative concepts for the advancement of novel structures.
