Aluminum (Al) toxicity in acidic soils significantly limits crop productivity by inhibiting root growth and nutrient uptake. Brassinosteroid (BR), a key plant hormone, has emerged as a crucial regulator of stress tolerance. This study investigates the role of BR in mitigating Al toxicity in rice ( Oryza sativa ) and explores the interplay between BR and gibberellic acid (GA) under Al stress. Our results show that Al stress rapidly elevates endogenous BR level in rice roots, which alleviates Al-induced root growth inhibition. Specifically, 0.01 μM BR achieves a maximum remission rate of approximately 20% for Al-induced root growth inhibition. BR application significantly reduced Al accumulation in root tips (by approximately 25%) and cell walls, particularly by inhibiting the overexpression of XYLOGLUCAN ENDO TRANSHYDROLASE/GLUCOSYLASE 5/9/11/19 ( OsXTH5/9/11/19 ), which reduces Al binding in hemicellulose fractions and upregulating Cellulose synthase A catalytic subunit 4/7/9 ( OsCesA4/7/9 ) to enhance cell wall’s barrier function against Al. BR also modulates hemicellulose composition and suppresses the expression of the Al transporter gene Nramp aluminum transporter 1 ( OsNRAT1 ), thereby reducing Al uptake into root tip cells. Additionally, BR mitigates Al toxicity via the GSK3/SHAGGY-Like KINASE 2 ( OsGSK2 )-mediated BR signaling pathway: OsGSK2 overexpression lines ( OsGSK2-OE ) exhibit enhanced Al resistance, while RNAi lines ( OsGSK2-RNAi ) show increased Al sensitivity. Furthermore, BR upregulates key expansin genes ALPHA-EXPANSIN 1/4/7 ( OsEXPA1/4/7 ) and BETA-EXPANSIN 2 ( OsEXPB2 ), which promotes root growth under Al stress. Notably, under Al stress, BR enhances endogenous GA levels through the transcription factor BRASSINAZOLE RESISTANT 1 ( OsBZR1 ): Al represses OsBZR1 expression, which is rescued by BR treatment. This process involves upregulating GA biosynthetic genes such as OsGA20OX , restoring Al-suppressed gene expression, and mitigating Al-induced OsGA2OX overexpression to maintain GA homeostasis. Exogenous GA treatment mimics BR’s alleviatory effects, highlighting critical crosstalk between the BR and GA pathways. This study provides novel insights into BR-mediated Al detoxification, revealing a key BR-GA interaction that enhances Al tolerance in rice and offers potential for improving crop resilience in acidic soils.

A Zr/Br-doped core-shell UIO-type MOF optimized for efficient mercury removal. • Synergistic interaction between Zr 4+ and Br − formed dual-functional “oxidation-fixation” active sites. In coal-fired power plants, mercury is released into the atmosphere along with flue gas during the combustion of coal, posing serious threats to both the environment and human health. In this work, a novel core-shell structured Zr/Br dual-doped metal-organic framework adsorbent UIO-type-Zr-Br was successfully synthesized using a multi-step templating strategy with precise control of structural modulation. Through a combined strategy of ZIF-67@ZIF-8 NPs nano-etching and Zr/Br doping, the optimal sample UIO-15 exhibited excellent mercury removal performance, achieving over 98.8% removal efficiency at 120 °C. The UIO-15 adsorbent also demonstrated strong resistance to coal combustion flue gas interference components such as SO 2 (600 ppm) and NO (600 ppm), maintaining nearly 80% efficiency. Furthermore, long-term dynamic tests showed that UIO-15 retained approximately 95% efficiency after 10 h of continuous operation. The Zr 4+ and centers maintained the oxidation state throughout the reaction, indicating the role as structural stabilizers rather than redox-active sites, while Br − participated in the oxidation of elemental mercury Hg 0 to form stable HgBr 2 , which was subsequently immobilized within the MOF framework; Mercury removal was effected by dual-functional oxidation-fixation centers formed via synergistic Zr 4+ -Br - interactions. These findings suggest that UIO-15 is a promising candidate for practical application in mercury removal systems for coal-fired power plants.

To investigate the formation process of cesium in a system where chlorine and bromine coexist, as well as the laws governing solid–liquid phase equilibrium, this paper conducts a multiscale study of the CsCl–CsBr–H2O ternary system at 298.15 K. First, the formation process of Cs(Cl, Br) solid solutions was investigated through long-term experiments, while molecular dynamics simulations were employed to examine the coordination and migration of ions at different stages of the reaction. Building on this, the isothermal dissolution equilibrium method was used to systematically determine the stable phase equilibrium relationships in this system and to plot a phase diagram; furthermore, various solid-state characterization analyses were performed on the equilibrium solid phase. Finally, utilizing the thermodynamic data obtained from the experiments, the Pitzer model was parametrized to calculate the solubility of this solid solution system, which was then compared with the experimental results. This research provides a theoretical basis for understanding and predicting the precipitation behavior of cesium in systems where chlorine and bromine coexist.

Developing insertion-type anodes is essential for designing high-performance “rocking chair” zinc-ion batteries. BiOCl shows great potential as an insertion-type anode material for Zn 2+ storage due to its high specific capacity and unique layered structure. However, the development of BiOCl has been significantly hampered by its poor stability and kinetics during cycling. In this study, Br-doped and carbon-coated BiOCl ultrathin nanosheets (Br-BiOCl@NC) are synthesized as high-performance anodes. The ultrathin nanosheet morphology facilitates Zn 2+ /H + transfer and the Br doping reduces the Zn 2+ /H + diffusion barrier. Additionally, the carbon coating enhances the electronic transfer. Furthermore, an insertion-conversion mechanism involving H + and Zn 2+ storage is revealed by ex-situ tests. Therefore, Br-BiOCl@NC exhibits a high discharge capacity of 174 mA h/g at 500 mA/g without capacity degradation after 1000 cycles. The Br-BiOCl@NC//MnO 2 full cell presents a discharge capacity of ≈ 120 mA h/g at 200 mA/g. This work offers valuable insights for the design of high-performance insertion-type anode materials in zinc-ion batteries.

Functionalized metal organic framework (MOF) and covalent organic framework (COF) composites (MOF@COFs) with complementary advantages, hierarchical pores, pre-designable and tunable structures, are expected for remarkable adsorption of organic pollutants, yet to be explored. Herein, a kind of MOF@COF composite was synthesized by combining the parent MIL-68(In) and COF–V (10 %-MIL-68@COF–V), characterized with well-retained crystallinity and hierarchical pores. The parent materials and as-prepared MIL-68@COF-Vs were further fabricated as solid phase microextraction (SPME) coatings to study their extraction performance for Cl/Br-substituted organic pollutants. The 10 %-MIL-68@COF–V coated fiber exhibited the most outstanding enrichment performance for Cl/Br-substituted organic pollutants mainly due to the synthetic advantages, which was 1.1–196.5 times superior than that of the commercial PDMS coating. By combining it with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), an ultrasensitive method was established, exhibiting wide linear ranges (1–5000 ng L −1 ), low LODs (0.17–0.29 ng L −1 ), and good reproducibility. The trace Cl/Br-substituted organic pollutants in marine water samples were successfully detected, verifying the practicability of the developed method in environmental monitoring.

Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) employing CsPbX 3 nanocrystals (NCs) face persistent challenges in balancing emission efficiency and spectral stability due to surface halide vacancies, which trigger nonradiative recombination, halide phase segregation, and self-doping effects. In this work, we address these limitations by introducing 3,5-dicarboxyphenylboronic acid (3,5-DA) as a multifunctional bidentate ligand additive. The unique coordination architecture of 3,5-DA, featuring multiple chelating groups, enables strong binding affinity to perovskite NC surfaces. This interaction effectively passivates halide vacancies while suppressing ion migration and defect formation. The optimized CsPb(Br/I) 3 NCs exhibit enhanced stability and suppressed nonradiative losses, enabling high-performance white LEDs (WLEDs). At a driving current of 10 mA, the fabricated WLEDs demonstrate a luminous efficiency of 10.32 lm·W −1 , a CIE coordinate of (0.3379, 0.3391), a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 5260 K, and an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 6.48 %. This work provides a ligand engineering strategy to concurrently resolve efficiency-stability trade-offs in PeLEDs.

Due to the high resistance and complexity of biofilms, alternatives to traditional antibiotic treatments are urgently needed. Here, we investigated whether Pt nanoparticles grown on Bi 3 O 4 Br nanosheets (Pt NP /Bi 3 O 4 Br) can enhance the efficacy of the antibiotic ampicillin against biofilm-associated infections. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed abundant oxygen vacancies in the Bi 3 O 4 Br nanosheet creating an ideal surface for Pt nanoparticles growth. The obtained Pt NP /Bi 3 O 4 Br nanozyme had a uniform Pt nanoparticle distribution confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy with high-angle annular dark-field scanning. Compared to Bi 3 O 4 Br nanosheets alone, the nanozyme demonstrated significantly higher catalytic activity for reactive oxygen species generation facilitated by efficient electron transfer from Pt nanoparticles. When combined with ampicillin, Pt NP /Bi 3 O 4 Br nanozyme significantly enhanced bactericidal efficacy against both Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli biofilms in vitro as shown by reduction in biofilm thickness and colony-forming units. In a murine skin infection model, the combination accelerated wound healing following S. aureus infection. Additionally, the combined treatment selectively reduced the pathogen Streptococcus mutans in human ex vivo oral biofilms while preserving the healthy human microbiome indicating potential applications in dental care. In conclusion, this work demonstrates that nanozyme-enhanced antibiotic therapy offers a promising strategy to combat biofilm-associated infections and antibiotic resistance.

Two new halogenated selenites, namely, Pb2Cd(SeO3)2X2 (X = Cl and Br), were synthesized via mild hydrothermal reactions. The isomorphic compounds crystallized in a noncentrosymmetric (NCS) and chiral space group. Their three-dimensional (3D) structures were formed by alternating undulated [Pb2(SeO3)X]∞+ cationic layers and flattened [Cd(SeO3)X]∞− anionic layers. Thermal analyses revealed that the compounds can remain stable up to 500 °C. The SHG efficiencies of Pb2Cd(SeO3)2X2 (X = Cl and Br) are much higher than those of commercial KDP (KH2PO4), and they are phase-matchable. UV-vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectra revealed that the two compounds exhibited wide optical band gaps. The laser damage thresholds of Pb2Cd(SeO3)2X2 (X = Cl and Br) were measured to be about 38.5 and 35.7 times higher than that of AGS (AgGaS2). Their calculated birefringences were large enough to accomplish phase matching in SHG progression. The SHG density analyses disclosed that the lone pair electrons of the SeO3 and PbOnXm units made major contributions to their nonlinear efficiencies.

All inorganic lead halide cesium perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have attracted much attention due to their excellent luminescence properties, but further development is restricted by their stability and the existence of toxic element lead. In this paper, F/Mn-doped CsPb ( Br / Cl ) 3 QDs glass was prepared by melt quenching and heat treatment, with reduced Pb content effectively. The result shows that the spectrum of the QD glass is adjustable between 450 nm and 515.4 nm by changing the feeding ratio of Mn-Pb ion and heat treatment temperature. Moreover, the indraught of Mn 2 + effectively improves the PLQY of CsPb ( Br / Cl ) 3 QDs glass and serves as a red-emitting. The prepared composites not only maintain good fluorescence characteristics, but also greatly improve the stability of QDs. And successfully coupled with blue LED chips to synthesize WLED, Under 20 mA current, the color coordinate is (0.3446, 0.3389).

The emerging organic–inorganic hybrid metal halides feature unique optical and electronic properties, are easily grown and have flexible crystal structures, making them a class of promising next-generation nonlinear optical (NLO) and ferroelectric materials. Herein, we successfully synthesized two centimeter-level zero-dimensional copper halide organic–inorganic hybrids (C20H20P)CuX2 (X = Cl, Br) that are crystallized in the monoclinic noncentrosymmetric P21 space group. Their structures contain rare quasi-linear [CuX2]– anions and [C20H20P]+ cations. (C20H20P)CuCl2 and (C20H20P)CuBr2 crystals show phase-matchable NLO effects around 1.1 and 0.87 times that of benchmark KDP, respectively. These (C20H20P)CuX2 materials are the first NLO-active examples in the hybrid copper(I) halide family containing a quasi-linear CuX2 unit.

Metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs), particularly all-inorganic CsPbX 3 (X = Cl, Br, I), exhibit exceptional optoelectronic properties, positioning them as revolutionary materials for LEDs, displays, and photodetectors. However, their commercialization is impeded by environmental instability under moisture, heat, and light. To address this, we introduce a solvent-induced surface rheological engineering (SISRE) strategy to fabricate super-hydrophobic CsPbX 3 -PS composite membranes inspired by the lotus leaf effect. Key innovation lies in controlled spraying of a THF/ethanol mixture (3:1 v/v) onto the membrane surface. THF selectively dissolves surface PS to induce micro/nano hierarchical roughness, while ethanol triggers rapid polymer re-solidification. By modulating spray passes (5–15 cycles), we achieved tunable hydrophobicity with contact angles increasing from 70° to >140° (Cassie-Baxter state), while maintaining PLQY∼72% for CsPbBr 3 PNCs membrane. The optimized super-hydrophobic membrane (12 spray cycles) nearly exhibited a 2.7-fold enhancement in water stability (PLQY decay rate: 1.65%/day vs. 4.46%/day for untreated films). In addition, when applied as a down-conversion layer on blue LEDs (λ peak = 452 nm), the device achieved 111% NTSC color gamut coverage (98% Rec.2020) with CIE coordinates (0.328, 0.288) and CCT = 5722 K. This work provides a scalable, appliable route to concurrently enhance environmental stability and optoelectronic performance of PNCs.

Traditional detection methods usually use a spectrometer, which requires a professional tester to operate and is not convenient to carry around. Herein, we designed a 5G smartphone-based portable test sensor that uses a CsPbBr3 composite fibrous membrane prepared by a one-step in situ growth method as the test paper, and the test is realized by taking pictures with the smartphone. This portable detection method requires only one drop of liquid to be detected (<25 μL), which is superior to many detection systems that require a large amount of liquid to be detected (>1 mL). Moreover, the detection sensitivity can reach 0.1 ppm, which is more sensitive than the CsPbBr3 composite fiber membrane prepared by the conventional encapsulated method. In addition, this CsPbBr3 composite fiber membrane is reusable and can still achieve highly sensitive detection with a single drop after 100 uses. This smartphone-based portable test sensor is small in size and easy to use and can be used at home or outdoors anytime and anywhere.
