Urchin-like peroxidase mimics 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (4-carboxyl phenyl) porphyrin–functionalized CuCo 2 O 4 nanospheres (Por-CuCo 2 O 4 ) has been fabricated as an excellent visual biosensor. X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) have been employed to characterize the composition, morphologies, and elemental analysis of the as-synthesized Por-CuCo 2 O 4 . The catalytic activity of Por-CuCo 2 O 4 was evaluated by the chromogenic substrate 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) with the aid of H 2 O 2 , which exhibited a visual blue change with an absorption maximum at 652 nm for only 10 s. The peroxidase-like behaviors of Por-CuCo 2 O 4 conformed to the Michaelis-Menten equation. Electrochemistry, radical scavenger, and fluorescence probe experiments verified that electron transfer, •O 2 − radicals, and holes (h + ) are the important factors during the catalytic oxidation of TMB. Based on the inhibition of dopamine (DA) on TMB oxidation, the Por-CuCo 2 O 4 -based colorimetric biosensor has been successfully constructed for sensitive determination of DA witha detection limit (LOD) of 0.94 μΜ. In addition, colorimetry was validated to detect DA in serum samples with high sensitivity and good selectivity. Graphical abstract

The development of kesterite photovoltaic solar cells has been hindered by large open-circuit voltage ( V oc ) deficit. Recently, Sn Zn deep point defect and associative defect cluster have been recognized as the main culprit for the V oc losses. Therefore, manipulating the deep-level donor of Sn Zn antisite defects is crucial for breaking through the bottleneck of present Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) photovoltaic technology. In this study, the Sn Zn deep traps in CZTSSe absorber layer are suppressed by incorporation of Ge. The energy levels and concentration of Sn Zn defects measured by deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) decrease significantly. In addition, the grain growth of CZTSSe films is also promoted due to Ge implantation, yielding the high quality absorber layer. Consequently, the efficiency of CZTSSe solar cells increases from 9.15% to 11.48%, largely attributed to the 41 mV V oc increment.

Macrophages play a pivotal role in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) therapy. Efforts have been made to develop multifunctional drug delivery systems capable of directing macrophage polarization. Here, we present a novel hyaluronic acid methacrylate (HAMA) hydrogel microparticle encapsulating multiple cytokines for SLE remission though enhancing macrophage functions. The HAMA microparticles loaded with monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) were fabricated by using a microfluidic technology. The released MCP-1 facilitates the aggregation of inflammatory macrophages, after which IL-4 induces the macrophage phenotype shift from inflammatory M1 to immune-protective M2, thus restoring immune balance. We have demonstrated in MRL/lpr mice that the hydrogel microparticles could improve their efficacy of intraperitoneal drug delivery, modulate immune function, and attenuate the disease symptoms. These results suggest that our proposed microparticles delivery platform has potential clinical value for treating autoimmune diseases.

Advanced adsorbents with high adsorption capacity and adsorption selectivity are desirable. Here, a Zr-based metal-organic framework (MOF), UiO-66-NH 2 @poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate, Nass), was synthesized using the high surface area of MOFs as a substrate and the high grafting density of surface initiated-atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP). UiO-66-NH 2 @poly(Nass) was used to adsorb different dyes. The maximum adsorption capacity ( Q m ) of methylene blue (MB) and basic fuchsine (BF) was 299.8 and 789.2 mg·g −1 , respectively, which were higher than those of Sudan I (SD I, 6.340 mg·g −1 ), neutral red (NR, 188.1 mg·g −1 ), methyl orange (MO, 199.5 mg·g −1 ), and acid chrome blue K (AK, 122.3 mg·g −1 ). The adsorption isotherms and kinetics were investigated, and it was confirmed that the Langmuir isotherm and the pseudosecond-order kinetic model fit our adsorbents. In the binary mixed solution, the removal rate (R) of MB reached 64.44%, while that of MO was only 3.340% for MB/MO. R was 64.29% for MB and 21.97% for AK for MB/AK and 97.45% for BF and 30.03% for MO for BF/MO, verifying the preferential selectivity to adsorb basic dyes. The superior adsorption was ascribed to multiple interactions, including electrostatic interaction , hydrogen bonding , and π–π accumulation. In addition, the effect of grafting poly(Nass) on the pore size of UiO-66-NH 2 was studied. The excellent stability showed that the R dropped by less than 15.62% after five consecutive cycles. The UiO-66-NH 2 @poly(Nass) was applied in the determination of MB and BF in water, crucian carp, and green shrimp. Good linearity was observed for MB (R 2 = 0.9971) and BF (R 2 = 0.9993) in the range of 0.2–30 and 0.5–50 μg·mL -1 , respectively, with satisfactory recoveries (in the range of 87.45–101.3% for MB and 90.34–98.86% for BF), achieving favorable practicability.

L-3,4-dihydroxy-phenylalanine (L-dopa) is the most widely used drug in Parkinson's disease treatment. However, development of cost-effective and high-throughput sensors to accurate enantioselective discrimination of L-dopa and D-dopa remains challenging to date. Herein, on the basis of the peroxidase-mimic activity of chiral FexCuySe nanoparticles, we demonstrated a novel colorimetric sensor for determination of chiral dopa. The surface chiral ligand, L/D-histidine (L/D-His), endowed the nanozymes with enantioselectivity in catalyzing the oxidation of dopa enantiomers. According to the values of kcat/Km, the efficiency of L-His modified nanoparticles (L-FexCuySe NPs) towards L-dopa was 1.56 times higher than that of D-dopa. While, D-His can facilely reverse the preference of the nanozyme to D-dopa. On the basis of high catalytic activity and enantioselectivity of L-FexCuySe NPs in oxidation of L-dopa, the L-FexCuySe NPs-based system can be utilized for detection of L-dopa. The linear ranges for L-dopa determination were 5 μM–0.125 mM and 0.125 mM–1 mM with a detection limit of 1.02 μM. Critically, the developed sensor has been successfully applied in the quality control of clinical used L-dopa tablets. Our work sheds light on developing simple and sensitive chiral nanomaterials-based sensors for drug analysis.

Graphical The new organic-inorganic hybrid compound (CH 3 NH 3 ) 4 [InCl 6 ]Cl has been successfully synthesized by reaction of methylammonium with indium(III) chloride tetrahydrate. It undergoes a first-order phase transition accompanied with an obvious step-like dielectric switching. A new organic-inorganic phase transition material (CH 3 NH 3 ) 4 [InCl 6 ]Cl ( 1 ), has been successfully synthesized and characterized. The compound undergoes a reversible first-order phase transition at Curie temperature Tc=284 K, accompanied with a wide hysteresis of 12 K, which investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The temperature dependence of the dielectric permittivity discloses an obvious step-like dielectric anomaly. Single crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that the order-disorder transition of the [InCl 6 ] 3– anion and the methylammonium cation were the main factor drove the phase transition from high temperature phase with the space group P 2/ m to low temperature phase with the space group P 2/ n . This finding indicates that In-based organic–inorganic hybrids compounds can be used to build phase transition materials, which broaden the way for exploring dielectric switching materials.

A novel tunable red to yellow emitting phosphor, (Ca, Ba) 4 (PO 4 ) 2 O:Eu 2+ is reported that displays a broad emission from 500 to 800 nm, and its emitting color can be adjusted from red to yellow by changing Ba 2+ doping concentration. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the phase formation. Excitation and emission spectra, and concentration dependence of emission intensity of the phosphor were investigated. The results showed that the emission peak wavelength take blue-shifted from 640 to 545 nm and the color hue can be tuned from red to yellow with increasing Ba 2+ concentration. When single-phase (Ca 3.85 Ba 0.10 )(PO 4 ) 2 O:0.05Eu 2+ phosphor is pumped by a blue InGaN light-emitting diode, we obtain white light with color rending index ( R a ) between 84.0 and 90.6 and color temperatures between 4000 and 5500 K, which suggests that this material is competitive as a color conversion material for solid state lighting.

Strong visible light absorption and high charge mobility are desirable properties for an efficient photocatalyst, yet they are hard to be realized simultaneously in a single semiconductor compound. In this work, we demonstrate that these properties coexist in homologous compounds ZnnIn2O3+n (n = 4, 5, and 7) with a peculiar layered structure that combines optical active segment and electrical conductive segment together. Their enhanced visible light absorption originates from tetrahedrally or trigonal-bipyramidally coordinated In atoms in Zn(In)O4(5) layers which enable p–d hybridization between In 4d and O 2p orbitals so that valence band minimum (VBM) is uplifted with a reduced band gap. Theoretical calculations reveal their anisotropic features in charge transport and functionality of different constituent segments, i.e., Zn(In)O4(5) layers and InO6 layers as being for charge generation and charge collection, respectively. Efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution was observed in these compounds under full range (λ ≥ 250 nm) and visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm). High apparent quantum efficiency ∼2.79% was achieved for Zn4In2O7 under full range irradiation, which is almost 5-fold higher than their parent oxides ZnO and In2O3. Such superior photocatalytic activities of these homologous compounds can be understood as layer-by-layer packing of charge generation/collection functional groups that ensures efficient photocatalytic reactions.

A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified by a hybrid, macroporous carbon (MPC) functionalized with triazine bridged covalent organic polycalix[4]arenes (CalCOP) (CalCOP-MPC), has been fabricated and utilized for simultaneous detection of nitrophenols (NP). The obtained CalCOP-MPC were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy , X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), which confirmed that MPC had functionalized with CalCOP successfully. Benefiting from the synergistic supramolecular effect of macrocyclic receptor of CalCOP and the excellent electrical properties of MPC, the anodic peaks of o -nitrophenol ( o -NP), m -nitrophenol ( m -NP), and p -nitrophenol ( p -NP) in their mixture can be well separated by the prepared electrode. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurements at CalCOP-MPC/GCE revealed that the linear ranges of NP isomers were all 1–400 μ M, and the detection limit limits were 0.383 μ M, 0.122 μ M, and 0.212 μ M for o -NP, m -NP, and p -NP, respectively. Moreover, the prepared modified electrodes showed a relatively good selectivity and stability, implying the prospect for detecting NP in real environmental samples.

The Zn/Sn ratio in Cu2ZnSn(S, Se)4 (CZTSSe) films has been regulated to control the composition-related phase, defect, and photoelectric properties for high performance kesterite solar cells. It is found that the increase in the Zn/Sn ratio can slightly narrow the energy band gap to extend the light absorption range and improve the photocurrent. Optimal Zn/Sn ratio of 1.39 in CZTSSe film is obtained with the least secondary phase, the lowest defect density, and the longest charge recombination lifetime. Up to 10.1% photoelectric conversion efficiency has been achieved by this composition regulation.

Open-air-processed perovskite solar cells (PSCs) already garnered significant attention of the international scholars because the uncomplicated and economically viable production methods. Nevertheless, the ambient atmosphere frequently poses a multitude of detrimental factors. For example, suboptimal levels of humidity and the presence of oxygen can result in flawed perovskite crystal formation and numerous surface imperfections, significantly diminishing the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and adversely affecting the final PSCs’ overall stability. Therefore, we employ an optimal approach utilizing liquid-phase small molecules to systematically optimize the perovskite layer, specifically incorporating the additive Perfluoro(4-methylpent-2-ene) (C 6 F 12 ), into an environmentally benign anti-solvent for fabricating the MAPbI 3 layer. The C 6 F 12 molecules, are liquid at room temperature, consist of carbon–carbon single or double bonds and carbon–fluorine bonds. Through Lewis acid-base interactions, the fluorine atoms within C 6 F 12 can establish some covalent bonds with lead and methylamine, as well as form hydrogen bonds with methylamine. These bonding mechanisms proficiently address the vacancies created by iodine (V I ) within the perovskite framework. Meanwhile, the inherent hydrophobic properties of fluorine atoms provide improved moisture resistance to perovskite films produced in atmospheric conditions, thereby enhancing the resultant PSCs’ stabilization. Consequently, the upgrade perovskite layers demonstrate larger grain dimensions and diminished trap density. The optimal device, passivated with C 6 F 12 and processed in air, achieves a champion PCE of 21.25%, approaching the performance of samples fabricated in a glove-box. Furthermore, the non-encapsulated device modified with C 6 F 12 demonstrates exceptional stability across multiple variables. This straightforward and environmentally friendly approach is expected to broaden the applicability of PSCs.

In this paper, hierarchical Ag-decorated SnO 2 microspheres were synthesized by a facile one-pot hydrothermal method. The resulting composites were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, BET, and FTIR analysis. The catalytic performances of the samples were evaluated with the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol by potassium borohydride (KBH 4 ) as a model reaction. Time-dependent experiments indicated that the hierarchical microspheres assembled from SnO 2 and Ag nanoparticles can be formed when the react time is less than 10 h. With the increase of hydrothermal time, SnO 2 nanoparticles will self-assemble into SnO 2 nanosheets and Ag nanoparticles decorated SnO 2 nanosheets were obtained. When evaluated as catalyst, the obtained Ag-decorated SnO 2 microsphere prepared for 36 h exhibited excellent catalytic performance with normalized rate constant ( κ
nor ) of 6.20 min −1 g −1 L, which is much better than that of some previous reported catalysts. Moreover, this Ag-decorated SnO 2 microsphere demonstrates good reusability after the first five cycles. In addition, we speculate the formation mechanism of the hierarchical Ag-decorated SnO 2 microsphere and discussed the possible origin of the excellent catalytic activity.
