The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) is a notorious insect pest of poaceae and causes severe economic damage to major cereal crop. It has evolved with different levels of insecticide resistance. Insect cytosolic GSTs are a major class of detoxifying enzymes and have been implicated in metabolic resistance and protection against oxidative stress. In this study, an epsilon class GST ( SfGSTe9 ) was identified from S. frugiperda and its transcript levels were highest in the fat bodies, second instar and pupae. Furthermore, SfGSTe9 is upregulated after exposure to beta- cypermethrin, lambda -cyhalothrin, chlorpyrifos, and malathion. The kinetic analysis suggests the purified recombinant proteins exhibit CDNB conjugating activity, with the V max of 11.87 ± 0.25 μM·min −1 ·mg −1 protein and K m of 0.22 ± 0.01 mM. The peroxidase activity assays indicate that SfGSTe9 has antioxidant activity against both CHP and H 2 O 2. The inhibition assays infer that four types of insecticides have strong inhibition on the GST activity. In vitro metabolism assays with HPLC further suggest that SfGSTe9 could be able to deplete 11.2 %, 21.3 % and 19.3 % of beta- cypermethrin, lambda -cyhalothrin and chlorpyrifos within 2 h, respectively, with specific activity varying between 30 and 40 μM·min −1 ·mg −1 protein. However, no metabolites were identified in this case, indicating that SfGSTe9 probably involves in detoxification via binding and sequestration. 3D modeling and molecular docking analysis indicate that above three types of insecticide compounds fit nicely into the hydrophobic pocket in the active site of SfGSTe9 . Our results definitely demonstrate that SfGSTe9 of S. frugiperda plays pivotal role in insecticide detoxification and serves in defence against oxidative stress .

Employing photocatalytic technology to promote CO 2 photoreduction into carbon fuels is of great significance to the field of renewable energy. Herein, the hierarchical Bi 2 MoO 6 @In 2 S 3 heterostructured nanotubes rich in surface oxygen vacancies (SOVs) are synthesized by a multi-step control strategy for visible-light-driven CO 2 reduction. The combination of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ISI-XPS) confirms the existence of the S-scheme charge transfer mechanism and SOVs, which will accelerate the separation of charges and ameliorate the redox capability. Additionally, the unique hierarchical hollow architectures also effectively promote the efficiency of light utilization and provide abundant reactive sites. Consequently, the optimized Bi 2 MoO 6 -SOVs@In 2 S 3 heterogeneous nanotubes display remarkable activity under visible light irradiation, with the yield rate and selectivity for CO-generation are 28.54 μmol g -1 h −1 and 94.1%, respectively. This work provides new opportunities for the design of hierarchical hollow heterojunctions with an S-scheme charge transfer mechanism for effective photocatalytic CO 2 reduction.

Low charge separation efficiency significantly hampers the performance of photocatalytic hydrogen production. Constructing heterojunctions emerges as a crucial strategy to enhance photocatalytic activity by improving charge separation. An S-scheme heterojunction not only effectively separates the photogenerated charge in composite photocatalysts but also preserves optimal redox capabilities. This study presents the first report of CuInS 2 /CeO 2 (CIS/CeO 2 ) and demonstrates how charge separation within CIS/CeO 2 to enhance photocatalytic hydrogen production through the construction of an S-scheme heterojunction. The UV–visible-driven hydrogen production rate of CIS/CeO 2 is 4.6 and 9.4 times higher than that of CIS and CeO 2 alone, respectively. The improved photocatalytic performance primarily stems from enhanced charge separation promoted by the S-scheme heterojunction. The charge transfer pathway was confirmed as an S-scheme mechanism through a combination of band structure experiments, density functional theory (DFT) calculations on work function, internal electric field, and charge differential density distribution, alongside electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments. Multiple perspectives were employed to elucidate the reasons behind facilitating efficient charge separation. This research provides valuable insights for advancing photocatalytic performance.

The construction of S-scheme heterojunctions with oxygen vacancies (OVs) is an effective strategy to enhance the photocatalytic activity. In this pioneering study, we successfully fabricated Bi12O17Cl2/Bi2S3 S-scheme heterojunctions with abundant OVs (ROV-BOC/BS) using an anion exchange method. The in situ growth of Bi2S3 (BS) nanorods on OVs-rich Bi12O17Cl2 (ROV-BOC) nanosheets resulted in an interconnected reticulated structure. This structure not only increased the specific surface area of the composite but also established a tightly bound heterojunction, further enhancing the OVs content in the composites. The OVs-induced defect levels provide additional channels for photogenerated charge migration. The synergy between the heterojunction and OVs improved the light absorption and carrier separation efficiency. Consequently, the optimized ROV-BOC/BS-0.1 achieved 95.52% Cr(VI) removal efficiency within 120 min, with apparent reaction rate constants 5.39 and 23.86 times higher than those of pure ROV-BOC and BS, respectively. This investigation provides crucial guidance for designing novel S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts with abundant OVs.

Photocatalytic CO 2 reduction is a practical solution to the energy dilemma and environmental damage caused by greenhouse gases, and it is very important to explore high-efficiency photocatalysts. In this study, a novel Bi 2 WO 6 /C 3 N 5 step(S)-scheme heterojunction was successfully constructed and applied for CO 2 photoreduction. The 2D/2D structure showed excellent photocatalytic properties, with methane production reaching 1.976 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 and selectivity reaching 100 % under 5 hours of visible light irradiation. The result indicates that combining Bi 2 WO 6 and C 3 N 5 can promote interfacial charge separation and maintain the optimal reducing ability of photogenerated electrons. Based on experimental and theoretical calculations, we characterized the reaction mechanism and heterojunction formation mechanism. This study offers a novel approach to improve the selectivity and photocatalytic efficiency of CO 2 reduction products.

Three dinuclear Cu(I) complexes, [Cu 2 (pnd)(PPh 3 ) 4 ](BF 4 ) 2 (1) , [Cu 2 (pnd)(dppp) 2 ] (BF 4 ) 2 (2) , and [Cu 2 (pnd)(DPEphos) 2 ](BF 4 ) 2 (3) (PPh 3 = triphenylphosphine , dppp = 1, 3-bis (diphenylphosphino)propane, DPEphos = bis(2-diphenylphosphinophenyl)ether, pnd = N , N ’-bis (pyridin-2-ylmethylene)naphthyl-1, 5-diimine), have been prepared and characterized by IR, 1 H NMR, 31 P NMR, 13 C NMR, XRD , elemental analysis and X-ray crystal structure analysis. The structural analysis reveals that the flexible pnd in 1 – 3 acts in a trans bridging coordination mode to connect two Cu + ions, forming a S-shape conformation, while each of Cu (I) ion is four-coordinate N2P2, adopting a distorted-tetrahedral geometry. DFT calculations show that the HOMOs of complexes 1 – 3 are primarily located on the copper d -orbital and the phosphine ligand, together with a specific contribution of pnd, while LUMOs are mostly composed of pnd with admixed Cu(I) d-orbital character. Corresponding calculations of atomic charges indicate that the charge of the copper atom in complexes 1 – 3 is below + 1, while the total charges of the coordinated atoms are 0.743–0.786. Moreover, the solid-state emission spectra of complexes 1 – 3 show the existence of broad emission bands at 350–550 nm.

Photocatalysis technology can degrade organic pollutants in wastewater, improving the ecological environment and protecting biodiversity. The BiVO 4 stable chemical properties of BiVO 4 make it a robust candidate for photochemical applications. Moreover, its broad light absorption spectrum and optimal band structure further enhance its potential, driving widespread research interest. The introduction of the eco-friendly biperovskite Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 enhanced BiVO 4 ′s surface area and visible light absorbance. Simultaneously, the doping process introduces impurities that modify charge transfer pathways, thereby enhancing the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. When contrasted with pure BiVO 4 , the W-BiVO 4 /Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 composite demonstrates superior surface area characteristics and exhibits stronger absorption within the visible light spectrum. Within 40 min after exposure to visible light, the efficiency of W-BiVO 4 /Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 photocatalyst to degrade ofloxacin (OFX) and meloxicam (MEL) was 93.15 % and 92.70 %, respectively. Based on the toxicity analyses and antimicrobial assays simulated by the software, no highly toxic substances were found in the degradation intermediate products of OFX and MEL. The catalysts’ energy band structure and photoelectrochemical properties showed that W-BiVO 4 /Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 followed the S-scheme heterojunction charge transfer mechanism. By integrating BiVO 4 with other semiconductors in the form of S-scheme heterojunctions, this study explores a strategy that may effectively improve photocatalytic efficiency, particularly in pollutant degradation applications.

This paper presents an ammonia (NH3) fluorescent sensor based on the MAPbBr3 perovskite and the multifunctional organic material (R/S)-OBN-tCz. The incorporation of (R/S)-OBN-tCz enhances the sensor's photoluminescence (PL) intensity through Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and passivation effects, which consequently improves the sensitivity of the gas sensor. The MAPbBr3&(R/S)-OBN-tCz@PMMA nanofibers fabricated via electrospinning technology not only increase the specific surface area effectively, which is crucial for sensitivity improvement, but also strengthen the stability of the perovskite material under an air atmosphere. The experimental results demonstrate that the sensor maintains stable PL performance for up to 30 days in air and over 10 hours in water, while exhibiting rapid and reversible fluorescence response to NH3.

As a replacement of bisphenol A, bisphenol S (BPS) is commonly used in the wrappers and food containers of daily life. Epidemiological studies demonstrate a close link between BPS exposure and vascular diseases, where the biological activities of BPS remain scarcely known. Herein, the effects of BPS on endothelial function as well as the underlying mechanism were investigated in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and mouse arteries. It was found that exposure of BPS dose-dependently induced endothelial dysfunction (i.e., decline of nitric oxide (NO) formation) in HUVECs, accompanied by the increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and loss of mitochondria membrane potential. Mitochondria-specific antioxidant (Mito-Tempol) or superoxide scavenger (tiron) abolished the harmful effects of BPS, while superoxide dismutase (SOD)-specific siRNA exhibited negative influence, suggesting that mitochondrial ROS was responsible for BPS-induced endothelial dysfunction and SOD was a sensitive target of BPS. Consistently, plasma NO formation and endothelium-dependent vasodilation was significantly impaired in mice exposed to dietary BPS. In addition, the binding of bovine serum albumin (BSA, the most abundant protein in blood) to BPS considerably alleviated ROS formation and endothelial dysfunction in HUVECs. BPS primarily interacted with Sudlow site I of albumin to generate BSA-BPS complex through static mechanism, in which the hydrogen bonds and electrostatic forces played important roles. Altogether, dietary exposure to emerging BPS would disrupt vascular homeostasis via the induction of mitochondrial ROS formation and consequent endothelial dysfunction, highlighting the detoxification impact of albumin protein on the hazardous effects of environmental pollutants.

The Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) has gained extensive attention in thin film solar cells due to their potential as a nontoxic, low-cost, and earth-abundant absorber material, and a rapid increase in power conversion efficiencies has been demonstrated in laboratory. Compared with the most successful hydrazine-based solution process, the nanocrystal-based ink method and non-hydrazine molecular precursor solution approach are more eco-friendly for fabricating high-efficiency CZTSSe solar cells. However, it is hard to obtain a complete large-grain CZTSSe absorber thin film which can facilitate the transport of photogenerated carriers while minimize grain boundary recombination. Here, we present a simple and effective strategy to significantly enhance grain growth of CZTSSe absorber layers by insetting Sb2S3, CuSbS2, and NaSb5S8 thin films. The incorporation of Sb-based thin films can induce grain growth in the selenization process, and did not produce the impurity phase confirmed by XRD patterns and Raman spectra. It was found that the order of the crystal growth promotion ability is Sb2S3 > CuSbS2 > NaSb5S8 under the same experimental conditions. The presented approach can be extended to other solution processes of fabricating CZTSSe solar cells to enhance their microstructural properties, which are critical for applications in CZTSSe absorbers with fine-grain layers.

In this paper, we reported a modified preparation process for Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) films. For this process, Al 2 O 3 capping layers were deposited on precursor films before selenization. It was found the capping layer can prevent the formation of separate Cu x Se phase on top of the film and facilitate a homogeneous growth of the crystalline grains during selenization. Detailed characterizations revealed the reason: the Al 2 O 3 capping layers can inhibit the incorporation of Se into the film in low-temperature region (below 350 °C). So the reaction between Se and Cu, which is thermodynamically preferential in this temperature region, can be prevented. As the disappearance of Cu x Se, the traditional top-to-down crystallization mode was substituted by a homogeneous crystallization mode. Therefore, CZTSSe films with homogeneous crystallization properties were achieved. By using the capping layers, the efficiencies of the solar cells were improved. In particular, the open-circuit voltage (V OC ) of the solar cell increased by ~18% by using the capping layers.
