In micro-injection molding, polymer/mold interface adhesion may cause severe deformation or damage of micro features on the molded products. To reduce the interface adhesion and improve the molding quality of polymer microfluidic chip, Ni-P-PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) ternary composite was adopted to electroform mold insert with self-lubricating properties. The influence of phosphorous acid concentration on the composition and performance of Ni-P-PTFE composites was systematically investigated. Our results demonstrated that the content of P and PTFE particles in the composites raised with an increase in phosphorous acid concentration. Elevated phosphorous acid concentration adversely affected the current efficiency and slowed down the deposition rate, allowing sufficient contact time for PTFE to transfer and adsorb onto the electrode surface. The hardness of the deposited nickel increased from 310 HV to 510 HV in the Ni-P-PTFE composites. Furthermore, the Ni-P-PTFE composites demonstrated excellent self-lubricating properties, showcasing friction coefficients of 0.15 and 0.25 during the initial and steady stages, respectively, representing a notable reduction of 66.7 % and 64.3 % compared to pure nickel. This study provides a novel approach to fabricate molds with self-lubricating properties, which contributes to the high-precision injection molding of polymer-based micro devices.

Multi-component synergy and controlled structural design can effectively tailor the electronic structure and multiply kinetic reactions, substantially enhancing the electrode material’s performance. Herein, a novel P-doped Ni 0.5 Cu 0.5 Co 2 O 4 with a 1D/2D hierarchical nanostructure is synthesized in situ. The hierarchical architecture significantly improves the exposure of active areas and facilitates the diffusion of electrolyte ions. Theoretical calculations reveal that the P-doping is instrumental in fine-tuning the electronic structure, enhancing conductivity, and increasing the adsorption energy of OH − . These theoretical insights were corroborated by electrochemical measurements. Remarkably, the optimized P-Ni 0.5 Cu 0.5 Co 2 O 4 exhibited an ultrahigh capacitance of 2872.1 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 , which is 1.58 times that of before phosphating (1810.6 F g −1 ). In addition, a hybrid supercapacitor based on 9-P-Ni 0.5 Cu 0.5 Co 2 O 4 was assembled, delivering an impressive energy density of 71.6 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 800 W kg −1 . Furthermore, the device demonstrated outstanding cyclic performance, maintaining 87.73 % of its initial capacitance even after 10,000 cycles. This study not only showcases the superior performance of P-Ni 0.5 Cu 0.5 Co 2 O 4 but also provides a promising strategy for developing high-energy storage material.

To enhance oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics, energy coupling strategies have been employed in electrocatalysis. Particularly, photo-assisted electrocatalysis has gained considerable attention due to its potential to reduce overpotential and fully utilize light energy. This study reports the synthesis of NiO/ZnO@NF self-supported heterojunctions on nickel foam (NF) via a single-step hydrothermal method as photo-assisted electrocatalysts to improve the catalytic performance of OER. The strong electronic interaction between Nickel oxide (NiO) and Zinc oxide (ZnO), coupled with the formation of p-n junction formation, improved the electronic structure of the material, resulting in superior OER performance. The results indicated that under illumination, NiO/ZnO@NF achieved a current density of 10 mA cm −2 with an overpotential of merely 268 mV, 27 mV lower than the overpotential under non-illuminated conditions. Furthermore, at a high current density of 50 mA cm −2 , it maintained a low overpotential of 330 mV, outperforming most RuO 2 catalysts. Additionally, NiO/ZnO@NF displayed remarkable stability under alkaline conditions. The heterojunction formation in NiO/ZnO@NF modifies the material’s band structure, reducing the band gap, implying lower energy required for electron transitions and promoting electron transfer rates. Furthermore, under illumination, the heterojunction structure effectively suppressed the recombination rate of photogenerated charge carriers. The photogenerated holes generated in the material after light excitation were transformed into more active species either by direct participation in the reaction or by accumulating on NiO, further enhancing the OER catalytic efficiency. This work provides a new strategy for designing efficient OER electrocatalysts using multi-energy synergies.

The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic-inorganic halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) developed rapidly in recent years. However, the defects at the bulk grain boundaries and heterojunction interfaces acting as non-radiative recombination centres and the ion-migration channels severely hinder the charge transport and stability of the PVKs, resulting in low PCE and poor stability. One of the principal impediments to the commercialization of PSCs resides in the challenge posed by this particular aspect. In this work, we employed 2-fluoroisonicotinic acid (2-FINA) as a passivation agent to improve the PCE and stability of n-i-p PSCs by interfacial modification strategy. Owing to the presence of carboxyl (COOH) functional groups and pyridine groups, 2-FINA can strongly interact with uncoordinated Pb 2+ and regulate the growth of perovskite crystals, which in turn reduces ion migration and suppress non-radiative recombination along with improves optical properties. Thanks to these improvements, the champion n-i-p PSC solar cell, treated with 2-FINA, showed a PCE of 20.92 %, whereas the untreated one in the same batch exhibited a PCE of 17.13 %. In long-term stability tests, we demonstrated that 2-FINA treatment significantly increases the moisture resistance of non-encapsulated devices.

The rapid and sensitive detection of glyphosate herbicide in agricultural products is urgent need. Herein, we develop a photosensitive Fe 3 O v -Mo/P nanozyme with defect-rich rough surface by the co-precipitation method. In particular, the Fe 3 O v -Mo/P nanozyme with high-percentage oxygen vacancy (OV) defects and rough surface exhibited superior peroxidase (POD)-like activity and kinetics. More intriguingly, Fe 3 O v -Mo/P nanozyme with strong optical absorption in near-infrared (NIR) region showed excellent light-promoted POD-like activity. It was found that the defect-rich rough surface is conducive to the adsorption of glyphosate to inhibit the POD-like activity of Fe 3 O v -Mo/P. Under near-infrared laser irradiation, the inhibitory effect of glyphosate on the oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by Fe 3 O v -Mo/P was increased by 2.64 times. A colorimetric platform was developed for the detection of glyphosate with a low detection limit of 0.032 mg L -1 and good selectivity. The method was used to determine the residual glyphosate in coffee, and the recovery efficiency was between 91.20–104.00 %. This work that combines the advantage of defect engineering and NIR provides a strategy for developing high-active nanozyme in pesticide assay.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is regarded as a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia. Long-term hyperglycemia may result in oxidative stress, damage pancreatic β-cell function and induce insulin resistance. Herein we explored the anti-hypoglycemic effects and mechanisms of action of N-p-coumaroyloctopamine (N-p-CO) in vitro and in vivo. N-p-CO exhibited high antioxidant activity, as indicated by the increased activity of SOD, GSH and GSH-Px in HL-7702 cells induced by both high glucose (HG) and palmitic acid (PA). N-p-CO treatment significantly augmented glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in HG/PA-treated HL-7702 cells. Moreover, administration of N-p-CO in diabetic mice induced by both high-fat diet (HFD) and streptozotocin (STZ) not only significantly increased the antioxidant levels of GSH-PX, SOD and GSH, but also dramatically alleviated hyperglycemia and hepatic glucose metabolism in a dose-dependent manner. More importantly, N-p-CO upregulated the expressions of PI3K, AKT and GSK3β proteins in both HG/PA-induced HL-7702 cells and HFD/STZ-induced mice. These findings clearly suggest that N-p-CO exerts anti-hypoglycemic and anti-oxidant effects, most probably via the regulation of a PI3K/AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway. Thus, N-p-CO may have high potentials as a new candidate for the prevention and treatment of diabetes.

The development of cheap, efficient and stable hydrogen-producing catalysts is the current research focus, especially the catalysts that can work stably in the whole pH range. In this work, a myrica rubra-like structure of P–Co 1-x S/C was synthesized by hydrothermal reaction, sulfurization and phosphorization using spherical flower-like cobalt glycerate (CoG) as precursor. The design of this multilevel structure of P–Co 1-x S/C effectively increases the specific surface area. The doping phosphorus and the protection of carbon layer greatly improve catalytic performance and enhance the stability of Co 1-x S in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at full pH range. When the current density is 10 mA cm −2 , the HER overpotentials of P–Co 1-x S/C in acidic, alkaline and neutral solutions are 86, 93 and 167 mV, and respectively. The Tafel slopes of P–Co 1-x S/C in acidic, alkaline and neutral solutions are 82, 100 and 103 mV dec −1 , respectively. In addition, the electrocatalyst also displays excellent electrochemical long-term stability. After 2000 cycles or 20 h long-term testing, its catalytic activity remains stable without obvious decrease at full pH range.

The direct synthesis of methyl methacrylate from isobutene is of great importance in the chemical industry. The direct oxidation of isobutylene to methacrylic acid is one of the key steps, but the selectivity of methacrylic acid is low in the products of one-step oxidation of isobutylene. The efficient one-step oxidation of isobutylene to methacrylic acid was achieved by preparing a Mo-V-P-Ce/KCsWPAV two-component composite catalyst combining asymmetric lattice oxygen with appropriate acidic heteropolyacid catalysts. The catalyst was characterized using XRD, FT-IR, BET, SEM, and others to analyze its structural properties, dimensional characteristics, and more. Results indicated that the composite catalyst accelerated the crystallization rate, with Ce enhancing the oxidation of the active molybdenum species and promoting oxygen activation to form lattice oxygen, thereby improving the oxidation of isobutylene. The heteropoly acids increased the percentage of medium strong acidic sites, enhancing the selectivity of methacrylic acid. Under optimized conditions, with an atmosphere to isobutylene molar feed ratio of ≥25:1 and a temperature of 400 °C, the Mo-V-P-Ce/KCsWPAV catalyst achieved a remarkable 91 % conversion of isobutylene with a 70 % selectivity towards methacrylic acid. The catalyst shows promise for practical applications in the one-step oxidation of isobutylene to produce methacrylic acid, providing a suitable solution to the problem of isobutylene overcapacity.

Nitrogen/phosphorus (N/P) doped carbon materials exhibit enhanced electro adsorption capability in capacitive deionization (CDI) applications. However, the incorporation of N/P atoms may introduce electron-withdrawing groups to the electrode surface, impacting the potential of zero charge ( E PZC ) and thereby influencing its electro adsorption efficiency. This research explores the modulation of electrode surface charge by varying the N/P doping composition. Specifically, it presents a Zn and N/P co-doped carbon material employed as the CDI cathode, showcasing selective adsorption of Cu 2+ ions. Under a voltage of 1.2 V, the adsorption capacity achieves 250 mg/g in a 500 mg/L Cu 2+ ion solution. Furthermore, it demonstrates outstanding cycling stability, maintaining an adsorption capacity of 233 mg/g even after 21 cycles. This investigation introduces an innovative approach for E PZC adjustment and offers a fresh theoretical framework for fabricating high-performance CDI electrodes.

p -Nitrophenol ( p -NP) contaminants seriously endanger environmental and living beings health, hence to establish a sensitive and selective method is of great importance for the determination of p -NP. In this work, boron and nitrogen co-doped carbon dots (B,N-CDs) were synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method using 3-aminophenylboronic acid as the sole precursor. The product was characterized through high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, UV–visible absorption spectroscopy , X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Without any functionalized modification, B,N-CDs can be directly applied as a ‘turn-off’ fluorescent probe for rapid, highly selective, and sensitive detection of p -NP. The fluorescent sensor based on the B,N-CDs exhibited a broad linear response to the concentration of p -NP in the range of 0.5 − 60 μM and 60 − 200 μM, respectively, and provided a detection limit of 0.2 μM. It was found that only the absorption spectrum of p -NP has a wide overlap with the fluorescence excitation and emission spectra of B,N-CDs compared to those of other representative analogues. The response mechanism was due to the inner filter effect and the formation of dynamic covalent B-O bonds between B,N-CDs and p -NP, which endowed the sensing platform with the rapid response and high selectivity to p -NP. Finally, the sensor showed the practicability of p -NP determination in environmental water samples.

Although poly[bis(4-phenyl) (2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) amine] (PTAA) is a widely used hole transport layer (HTL) in perovskite solar cells, its poor conductivity and the mismatched energy levels between PTAA and formamidinium-based perovskites increase interfacial carrier recombination and charge-transport resistance. To solve these problems, inorganic CuS nanosheets were synthesized and applied as additives in PTAA for the first time. After the addition of CuS, the conductivity of the HTL improves, and the energy levels are better aligned. In addition, perovskite growth is controlled through the interaction between CuS and PbI 2 , thus improving the quality of the perovskite films, which reduces nonradiative recombination. The addition of CuS into PTAA improved the power conversion efficiency from 21.99 % to 22.92 %. Moreover, both the thermal and humidity stability improved.
