Developing in situ/operando spectroscopic techniques with high sensitivity and reproducibility is of great importance for mechanistic investigations of surface-mediated electrochemical reactions. Herein, we report the fabrication of highly ordered rhombic gold nanocube superlattices (GNSs) as substrates for surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) with significantly enhanced SEIRA effect, which can be controlled by manipulating the randomness of GNSs. Finite difference time domain simulations reveal that the electromagnetic effect accounts for the significantly improved spectroscopic vibrations on the GNSs. In situ SEIRAS results show that the vibrations of CO on the Cu 2 O surfaces have been enhanced by 2.4 ± 0.5 and 18.0 ± 1.3 times using GNSs as substrates compared to those on traditional chemically deposited gold films in acidic and neutral electrolytes, respectively. Combined with isotopic labeling experiments, the reaction mechanisms for C-C coupling of CO electroreduction on Cu-based catalysts are revealed using the GNSs substrates.

In response to the urgent demand for windows with multi-mode self-calibrated temperature feedback operating over a wide range in extreme environments, herein, Pr 3+ –Er 3+ co-doped Y 2 Zr 2 O 7 (YZO) transparent ceramics were developed. After annealing treatment to remove defects, these ceramics exhibit high transparency and temperature-dependent wide-range photoluminescence, in which the in-line transmittance is up to 77.8% at 760 nm (theoretical limit is 78%), and the luminescence band spans blue to red. Furthermore, based on the luminescence intensity ratio technology, a multi-mode temperature sensing window using highly transparent YZO:Pr/Er ceramics was designed. The developed photothermal window shows relatively high sensitivity, in which absolute sensitivity ( S a ) and relative sensitivity ( S r ) reached 0.0105 K −1 at 363 K and 1.295% K −1 at 301 K, respectively. The developed thermometer could provide a reference for self-calibrated thermometer window, and its wide spectral operating range ensures the reliability of temperature measurement, which has the potential to be used in some extreme conditions.

As a mainstream commercial cathode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), LiFePO4 (LFP) is still limited by its inherently low electronic conductivity and slow diffusion kinetics. Therefore, a unique and innovative synthesis strategy must be devised to overcome these deficiencies. Hereby, we successfully synthesized N,F co-doped carbon encapsulated hollow LFP nanoshuttles (LFP-NFC) using an iron-based metal–organic framework (Fe-MOF) as the precursor. Benefitting from the hollow and porous structure derived from Fe-MOF, as-synthesized LFP-NFC effectively shortens the lithium-ion diffusion path and accelerates the ion diffusion speed. Moreover, the carbon layer doped with N and F heteroatoms induces more active sites for lithium storage and improves the electronic conductivity. The optimized LFP-NFC exhibits excellent electrochemical performance with a specific discharge capacity of 162.74 mAh g–1 at 0.1 C and a superior rate capability (102 mAh g–1 even at 10 C).

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotherapy drug used for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment, but its effectiveness can be dramatically dampened by cancer cell chemoresistance. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is implicated with drug resistance in a range of cancers (e.g., HCC), and the STAT3 inhibition can reverse the resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs. In the present study, a combination regimen to improve the efficiency of DOX was provided via the STAT3 blockade using plumbagin (PLB). A poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) decorated by polyethylene glycol and aminoethyl anisamide was produced in the present study with the hope of generating the nanoparticles for co-delivery of DOX and PLB. The resulting co-formulation suppressed the STAT3 activity and achieved the synergistic chemotherapy, which led to tumor inhibition in the mice with subcutaneous DOX-resistant HCC, without causing any toxicity. The present study reveals the synergism of DOX and PLB, and demonstrates a promising combinatorial approach for treating HCC.

Catalytic oxidation technology is a promising strategy to eliminate carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOC) and other emissions from industrial boilers and to address ammonia (NH 3 ) escape. Herein, we demonstrate the potential of copper-cerium-zirconium mixed oxides or those supported on TiO 2 or ZSM-5 substrates for the simultaneous catalytic removal of CO, toluene and NH 3 . Among them, CuCeZr/ZSM-5 exhibits the best co-processing ability for mixed gases. In situ infrared spectroscopy analyses suggest that there is a competitive adsorption among CO, toluene and NH 3 , and the inhibition is in descending order of toluene＞CO＞NH 3 . Based on the physical-chemical characterizations, the Cu-Ce interfacial structure plays an important role in CO ignition at low temperatures. More importantly, the abundant acidic sites on the ZSM-5 support can improve the stability of adsorbed NH 3 at high temperatures, resulting in the best NH 3 catalytic oxidation performance of CuCeZr/ZSM-5 with no secondary pollutants of NO x . This study provides a strategy for the catalyst design to eliminate multiple pollutants targeting the properties of pollutants.

The oxygen electrocatalytic activity of transition metal catalysts can be tuned by tailoring their microstructure to optimize electronic configuration. Here, a one-step Coordination-Selective Synthesis strategy is developed to integrate Co single-atom sites and Fe-based nanoparticles within the same matrix, enabling long-range electronic interactions that enhance Co-N 4 reactivity and improve oxygen reduction reaction performance. X-ray absorption spectroscopy confirmed that remote Fe-based nanoparticles modulate the electron distribution at Co-N 4 sites. Structural characterizations reveal that the optimal catalyst, Co 50% Fe 50% -NC, contains metallic Fe, Fe 3 O 4 , and Fe 4 N species. Electrochemical measurements show that it achieves onset and half-wave potentials of 0.984 and 0.927 V versus RHE, surpassing Co 100% -NC with only Co-N 4 sites. Additionally, it demonstrates efficient oxygen evolution reaction performance, achieving an overpotential of 298 mV at 20 mA cm −2 , comparable to RuO 2 . Density functional theory calculations reveal that Fe 4 N optimizes O-containing intermediate adsorption/desorption, lowering the theoretical overpotential. Zn-air batteries assembled with Co 50% Fe 50% -NC exhibited superior performance to Pt/C, highlighting its potential for bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis. This study provides an approach for designing high-performance catalysts by utilizing synergistic interactions between atomic and nanoscale metal species.

Electrolyte cation identity has been reported to influence the multicarbon (C2+) selectivity in CO2/CO electroreduction. However, most of the previous work for cation size effect is based on H-cell configurations, which may inadvertently distort the underlying mechanism of cation effect due to mass transport limitations, particularly for CO reduction. Here, using GDE-type flow electrolyzers, we report that the selectivity of total C2+ products on Cu is independent of alkali cation identity (Li+, Na+, K+, and Cs+) in the absence of the CO transport limitation. Notably, a high concentration of strongly hydrated cation (such as Li+) inhibits the total C2+ formation in CO reduction, whereas total C2+ selectivity is retained upon increasing concentrations of weakly hydrated cation (such as K+). Further investigations reveal that the CO coverage at a low cation concentration is almost independent of the cation identity, but the CO coverage at highly concentrated cations strongly relies on the alkali cation identity.

A highly sensitive molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence (MIECL) sensor was developed for detecting rifampicin (RIF) based on luminol@Co-MOF. Co-MOF had a significant enhancement of ECL signaling in the luminol-O 2 system. Molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) with the introduction of RIF provide new properties for the specific recognition of RIF. A noteworthy decrease in ECL intensity was observed with higher concentrations of RIF. Consequently, the ECL signal was controlled by RIF elution from and adsorption by the MIP, thus establishing a new method for RIF detection. Under optimal conditions, this sensor exhibited linear detection ranges of RIF between 1.0 × 10 −11 mol L −1 and 1.0 × 10 −6 mol L −1 , with a detection limit of 3.3 × 10 −12 mol L −1 ( S / N = 3). The recoveries ranged between 98.1 and 106.0% in fish samples. This method can be used as a sensitive and rapid method to detect RIF in real samples. Graphical

The high heterogeneity of neuroblastoma (NB) is currently the main challenge in clinical treatment, impeding the complete eradication of the tumor through monotherapy alone. In this study, we propose a combination strategy using a targeted nano co-delivery system (ADRF@Ag2Se) comprising phototheranostic agents, differentiation inducers and chemotherapy drugs for sequential therapy of NB. Upon intravenous injection, ADRF@Ag2Se demonstrates effective tumor targeting by the specific binding of AF7P to MMP14, which is overexpressed on the surface of NB cells. Subsequent implementation of local photothermal therapy (PTT) leverages the robust photothermal conversion capabilities of the amphiphilic photothermal reagent PF. This is followed by the temperature-triggered release of differentiation-inducing agent 13-cis-retinoic acid and chemo-drug doxorubicin to synergistically eliminate the residual lesions. This nanotherapeutic strategy facilitates in vivo targeted delivery and PTT under the supervision of NIR-II fluorescence, and it also enhances the chemotherapeutic response through differentiation induction of poorly differentiated cancer cells. In the NB tumor model, this co-delivery strategy effectively inhibited tumor growth and significantly prolonged the survival of the mice.

Eco-friendly silk fibroin/poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (SF/PLGA) materials were successfully fabricated using a facile strategy. The materials were characterized by scanning electron micrograph (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared spectra (IR). Systematic investigations were completed to examine the degradation rates in natural soil, cytocompatibility and thermostability of the materials. It is interesting to find that after SF was hybridized by PLGA, the thermostability and degradation rate increased. Meanwhile, the materials show good cytocompatibility. SEM, IR and XRD results reveal that there is hardly any interaction between SF and PLGA in the SF/PLGA material, and SF is physically mixed with PLGA. This study opens up a new horizon in the design and preparation of SF-based materials for promising applications in medical and biodegradable material fields.

Cr/Co-MOFs were synthesized via a solvothermal method using chromium acetate and cobalt chloride hexahydrate as metal ions, and trimeric acid as the organic ligand. The structures of Cr/Co-MOFs were characterized using Fourier infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy techniques. These Cr/Co-MOFs were used for removing organic contaminants in wastewater treatment. Fleroxacin and Rhodamine B (RhB) were specifically selected as target molecules in this study to evaluate the removal efficiency based on the mass of Co/Cr-MOFs, concentrations of organic contaminants, and adsorption time. Experimental findings indicated that at a Co/Cr-MOFs dosage of 100 mg, with initial concentrations of Fleroxacin (30 ppm) and RhB (20 ppm), removal efficiencies achieved were 95% and 99%, respectively. Within a timeframe of 5 h, Co/Cr-MOFs attained adsorption capacities amounting to 269.6 mg·g −1 for fleroxacin and 289.5 mg·g −1 for RhB. The interaction between Co/Cr-MOFs and fleroxacin, as well as RhB, is primarily attributed to factors such as pore size, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic charge, and π–π interactions. Moreover, theoretical analysis corroborated these experimental results by demonstrating conformity between the adsorption process and both second-order kinetic model equations alongside Langmuir isotherm model equations. Collectively, the experimental data combined with theoretical investigations underscore the practical significance associated with employing Co/Cr-MOFs for effective eradication of organic pollutants.

Lutein is an oxygenated fat-soluble carotenoid and a functional compound with proven health benefits for the human body. Nevertheless, the poor water solubility and low oral bioavailability of lutein greatly limit its application. To address this, we developed an effective approach to enhance the water solubility of lutein through co-amorphous formulation. Specifically, the lutein-sucralose co-amorphous mixture was prepared at a molar ratio of 1:1 using ethanol and water as solvents by employing the solvent evaporation method, followed by solid-state characterization and dissolution testing conducted to assess the properties of the formulation. The X-ray diffraction pattern with an amorphous halo and the differential scanning calorimetry thermogram with no sharp melting peaks confirmed the formation of a binary co-amorphous system. Changes in peak shape, position, and intensity observed in the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectrum revealed intermolecular interactions between lutein and sucralose molecules, while molecular dynamics simulations identified interaction sites between their hydroxyl groups. Additionally, dissolution testing demonstrated better dissolution performance of lutein in the co-amorphous form compared to pure lutein and physical mixture counterparts. Our findings present a novel strategy for improving the water solubility of lutein to make better use of it.
