Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with a high surface area and excellent stability are potential candidates for uranium (U) adsorption. Amidoxime (AO) is the most widely used functional group to extract U, which is usually introduced into MOFs by two-step post-synthetic methods (PSMs). Herein, MOF UiO-66-NH-(AO) was obtained by a one-step PSM with amidoximation from UiO-66-NH-(CN), which was synthesized by a new organic ligand of 2-cyano-terephthalic acid and whose morphology was octahedron and could be well controlled with the new ligand. The one-step PSM can greatly maintain the octahedron of the MOFs. What is more, UiO-66-NH-(AO) showed good adsorption performance for U, the adsorption equilibrium was obtained within 1500 min, and the adsorption capacity of U was calculated to be 134.1 mg/g according to the Langmuir model. It also had excellent selectivity for U in the presence of high concentrations of vanadium (V), ferrum (Fe), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), and zirconium (Zr). The adsorption capacity of U in natural seawater was determined to be 5.2 mg/g within 8 days. The recyclability of UiO-66-NH-(AO) in simulated seawater was demonstrated for at least four adsorption/desorption cycles. The binding mechanism was investigated by the extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, revealing that U binding occurs in a fashion η2 motif. This study provides a reliable idea for the modification of MOFs and the potential for MOF-based materials to extract U from seawater.

Aqueous zinc‑ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising for safe and low‑cost energy storage, yet their practical application is hindered by limited cathode cyclability and poor low‑temperature performance. Herein, a ternary composite of V 3 O 4 /Fe 3 O 4 /V 1.5 Fe(CN) 6 nanorods is directly grown on carbon cloth via a simple hydrothermal method. The electrode exhibits a unique activation behavior: its specific capacity gradually increases by more than 300% during the initial galvanostatic charge‑discharge cycles, reaching 530.1 mAh/g at 1 A/g. Ex situ XRD and XPS reveal that activation induces lattice expansion and an increase in V 4 + and Fe 3+ contents without phase transformation. The VF‑20 electrode delivers exceptional long‑term stability (89% retention after 4200 cycles at 4 A/g) and remarkable low‑temperature performance (69 mAh/g at −40 °C and 0.1 A/g). This work provides a new paradigm of activation‑driven performance enhancement for multiphase cathodes in AZIBs.

The development of efficient and stable electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acidic media remains a critical challenge. Here, we designed a hierarchical structure catalyst comprises of MnO 2 and carbon‑nitrogen compound (CN) coated MoO 2 (denoted as MoO 2 @CN/MnO 2 ), in which the Mn species is identified as the real active site for OER and the Mo-containing species (MoO 2 @CN) serves as the promoter. The incorporation of CN into the interface between the MoO 2 and MoO 2 facilitates the inner electron transfer from Mo to Mn, thereby increasing the quantity of Mn 3+ active sites for more efficient OER process, and at the meantime, the presence of CN effectively suppresses Mn dissolution during OER, stabilizing these active sites and improving the overall catalytic stability. The MoO 2 @CN/MnO 2 heterostructure exhibits decreases of 29 mV and 74 mV for the overpotential at 20 mA cm −2 compared with the MoO 2 /MnO 2 and the MnO 2 , and shows enhanced electrocatalytic stability. This work provides a promising and facile strategy for enriching and stabilizing the active species for acidic OER catalysts.

Hypoxia can lead to liver fibrosis and severely limits the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT). Herein, carbon nitride (CN)-based hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) VPSGCNs@TSI for light-driven water splitting were utilized to solve this problem. CNs were doped with selenide glucose (Se-glu) to enhance their red/NIR region absorption. Then, vitamin A-poly(ethylene glycol) (VA-PEG) fragments and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizers TSI were introduced into Se-glu-doped CN NPs (VPSGCNs) to construct VPSGCNs@TSI NPs. The introduction of VA-PEG fragments enhanced the targeting of the NPs to activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and reduced their toxicity to ordinary liver cells. VPSGCN units could trigger water splitting to generate O2 under 660 nm laser irradiation, improve the hypoxic environment of the fibrosis site, downregulate HIF-1α expression, and activate HSC ferroptosis via the HIF-1α/SLC7A11 pathway. In addition, generated O2 could also increase the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production of TSI units in a hypoxic environment, thereby completely reversing hypoxia-triggered PDT resistance to enhance the PDT effect. The combination of water-splitting materials and photodynamic materials showed a 1 + 1 > 2 effect in increasing oxygen levels in liver fibrosis, promoting ferroptosis of activated HSCs and reversing PDT resistance caused by hypoxia.

Carbon nitride-based heterojunction catalysts show broad application prospects for the degradation of wastewater pollutants (e.g. antibiotics and dyes), yet their performance remains challenges in narrow light absorption range and high carrier recombination rate. The introduction of components with matched band structures and surface plasmon resonance can mitigate these limitations. Herein, a Schottky heterojunction composed of plasma Bi and MoO 2 -incorporated carbon nitride (Bi/MoO 2 @CN) is designed and synthesized via solvothermal-calcination method. Multiple preparation parameters are optimized to achieve the reduction of Bi 2 MoO 6 (BMO) to plasma Bi metal and MoO 2 . The synergistic structural and compositional effects endow the optimal material with exceptional adsorption-photocatalytic activity, achieving 96.19% tetracycline (TC) degradation within 90 min under visible light. The first-order kinetic constant is seven times higher than CN. The catalyst also demonstrates versatility in removing diverse organic dyes. Active species trapping experiments identify holes (h + ) and superoxide radicals ( ⸱O 2 − ) as primary reactive species. Furthermore, enhanced photocatalytic mechanism is elucidated through band structure analysis, Schottky heterojunction characterization, and TC degradation pathway study.

A novel composite photocatalyst for photocatalytic decomposition of water for hydrogen evolution was successfully synthesized by in-situ growth of nitrogen and sulfur co-doped coal-based carbon quantum dots (NSCQDs) nanoparticles on the surface of sheet cobalt-based metal-organic framework (Co-MOF) and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 , CN). The structure and properties of the obtained catalysts were systematically analyzed. NSCQDs effectively broaden the absorption of Co-MOF and CN in the visible region. The new composite photocatalyst has high hydrogen production activity and the hydrogen production rate reaches 6254 μmol/(g·h) at pH = 9. At the same time, NSCQDs synergy Co-MOF/CN composites have good stability. After four cycles of hydrogen production, the performance remains relatively stable. The transient photocurrent response and Nyquist plot experimental results further demonstrate the improvement of carrier separation efficiency in composite catalysts. The semiconductor type (n-type semiconductor) of the single-phase catalyst was determined by the Mott-Schottky test, and the band structure was analyzed. The conductive and valence bands of CN are −0.99 and 1.72 eV, respectively, and the conduction and valence bands of Co-MOF are −1.85 and 1.33 eV, respectively. The mechanism of the photocatalytic reaction can be inferred, that is, Z-type heterojunction is formed between CN and Co-MOF, and NSCQDs was used as cocatalyst.

A novel fluorescence chemosensor 1 with aggregation-induced emission was designed and synthesized through a nucleophilic addition reaction between cyanide and triphenylamine. It exhibited remarkable selectivity and high sensitivity and was able to detect Fe3+, CN− and SO32− in almost pure aqueous solution with low detection limits of 1.44 μM, 9.88 nM and 0.107 μM, respectively. Job's plot and 1H NMR data showed that the binding stoichiometry of 1 with Fe3+, CN− or SO32− was 1 : 1. Further observations of 1H NMR titration suggested that a coordination bond was formed between two cyano of 1 and Fe3+ which resulted in fluorescence quenching of 1 after detection of Fe3+, whereas the nucleophilic addition of cyanide or sulfite to the vinyl group was responsible for the fluorescent quenching of CN− or SO32− toward 1. The biological applications of 1 were also evaluated and it was found to exhibit low cytotoxicity and membrane permeability. In addition, 1 could also be made into test strips to detect Fe3+ and CN− and was employed as a sensor for detection Fe3+ in living cells.

Chemical composition and morphological optimization are both effective strategies for constructing excellent electromagnetic wave absorption (EMWA) materials. While efficient EMWA materials derived from both metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and MXenes have been extensively studied, composites derived from the Hofmann framework with MXene have not been reported. In this study, we employed a Hofmann framework ([Fe(pz)Ni(CN) 4 ], pz = pyrazine) and MXene (Ti 3 C 2 T x ) to create new MXene@Hofmann (MH1 and MH2) composites, using a simple co-precipitation method with two different contents of [Fe(pz)Ni(CN) 4 ]. The FeNi/C/TiO 2 composites with a multi-layered structure inherited from MXene were prepared by annealing the MXene@Hofmann composites at 500, 600, and 700 °C, resulting in the formation of MH1-500/600/700 and MH2-500/600/700 composites. Their compositions, morphologies, electromagnetic parameters, and EMWA performances were characterized. For the composites with a high [Fe(pz)Ni(CN) 4 ] content, MH2-600 has a minimum reflection loss ( RL min ) value of −30.63 dB at a thickness of only 1.8 mm and the broadest effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 3.90 GHz at 2.0 mm, while MH2-700 exhibits superior EMWA performance with an RL min value of −34.34 dB at 1.9 mm and an EAB value of 4.96 GHz at 2.1 mm. Their impressive EMWA performance might be attributed to the synergistic dielectric loss and magnetic loss and also the impedance matching from the reasonable ratio of the magnetic and dielectric components. This work demonstrates an effective strategy for constructing EMWA materials from the Hofmann framework and MXene.

The porous electrodes derived from Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) show high specific capacity and superior energy densities in supercapacitors due to their tunable chemical compositions, open three-dimensional network framework and large surface area. In this work, La-Fe PBA with different morphologies is prepared at mild conditions via controlling the composition of mixed solvent and the structural evolution of the La-Fe PBA is further explored. The solubility of K 3 [Fe(CN) 6 ] and the influence of ethanol on the crystal growth is used to control the synthesis of La-Fe PBA. Four different morphologies of La-Fe PBA, such as chamfered hexagonal bipyramid microcrystals, hexagonal flakes, erythrocyte-like microstructure and small flakes, are successfully synthesized by changing the ethanol/water ratio of mixed solvent. The porous LaFeO 3 with the same shape is obtained by calcining the La-Fe PBA at 500 °C, which is subsequently employed as electrodes for battery-type supercapacitor. The erythrocyte-like LaFeO 3 shows remarkable specific capacity (330 C g −1 ) at 1 A g −1 , energy density (23.8 Wh kg −1 ) and power density (400 W kg −1 ) at 1 A g −1 . This work could provide a porous material for high-performance supercapacitors as well as an exciting strategy to develop and design materials with specific morphology.

Polymeric carbon nitride (C 3 N 4 ) is a very attractive candidate to produce photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) due to its low-cost, metal-free characteristics. However, the low efficiency would limit its development to higher yields because of insufficient light absorption and electron-hole separation. Here, we developed a simple method to anchor CN quantum dots (QDs) onto g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets to form a homojunction structure (HJ-C 3 N 4 ), which could improve photocatalytic performance largely without introducing metal elements. Its superior efficiency is a result of the band alignment by the homojunction structure providing excellent electron-hole separation and QDs providing suppressed recombination. Simultaneously, the light responsiveness of QDs endows a wide spectrum-responsive adsorption and enhances the adsorption intensity. The H 2 O 2 yield of the HJ-C 3 N 4 reached 115 μmol L −1 h −1 in pure water by visible light, which has an 8.6x higher production than g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets . The material design of 0D/2D homojunction could be extended to other materials with specific band alignment.

High stability nanoemulsions emulsified by combination of tripolyglycerol monostearate (PGFE) and casein (CN) were fabricated for loading functional components of peppermint oil and β-carotene, and the physicochemical properties, storage stability and sensory characteristics were explored. The β-carotene-loaded peppermint oil nanoemulsions exhibited fine physical stability when the mass ratio of PGFE/CN was less than 0.5. The β-carotene nanoemulsions were pseudoplastic fluid since the flow behavior index was lower than 1, based on the Herschel-Bulkley model. Intelligent sensory analyses clarified that electronic sensory evaluation methods, including colorimeter, electronic nose and electronic tongue, are convenient and effective to distinguish various nanoemulsions with different ratios of mixing emulsifiers. The formation mechanism of nanoemulsions was further explored to reveal the important role of hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions to yield nanoemulsions.

The present study is about the fabrication of an efficient photo-/electrocatalyst, prepared via in-situ hydrothermal coupling of ZnO with g-C 3 N 4 . The results prove this electrocatalyst as suitable band structure semiconductor. The crystalline nature and related morphological parameters are controlled by optimized hydrothermal and calcination temperatures conditions. A series of physicochemical characterization are applied to inquire the crystalline structure, surface morphology , optical capabilities and charge transportation properties. Results revealed that the sample acts as excellent electrocatalyst with OER current density at 10 mAcm −2 @ 335 mV and the HER at 100 mAcm −2 @ −225 mV. While upon illuminations its catalytic properties further enhance at OER 10 mAcm −2 @ 326 mV and for HER current density of 100 mAcm −2 @ −167 mV. It can be seen from the present study that g-C 3 N 4 play gigantic role in enhancing the catalytic property of ZnO and hence it leads to a relationship between hierarchical features and photo-/electrochemical activity for water splitting.
