The polymer nanocomposites with 3-dimensional (3D) nanofillers can form a 3D network and attain a uniform distribution of nanofillers, which benefits the transfer of charge carriers and phonons as well as the dispersion of stress at a very low loading of nanofillers. These polymer nanocomposites with high mechanical properties would have great potential for thermal and electrical conduction as well as electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. In this paper, the 3D epoxy nanocomposites are manufactured by stuffing epoxy resin into 3D p -phenylenediamine-aniline copolymer nanofibers@Cu foam (P-PANI@f-Cu) hybrid nanofillers that are constructed by electrophoretic deposition of phosphoric acid doped P-PANI copolymer nanofibers onto the surface of sodium hydroxide oxidized Cu foam. Benefiting from 3D continuous network of P-PANI@f-Cu hybrid nanofillers, the electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of 3D P-PANI@f-Cu/epoxy nanocomposites with the P-PANI loading of 0.262 wt% could achieve 7.71 ± 0.04 S cm −1 and 5.4670 ± 0.0085 W m −1 K −1 , respectively, which are much better than that of pure epoxy (insulator and 0.2310 ± 0.0017 W m −1 K −1 , respectively) and epoxy composites filled with only Cu foam (4.46 ± 0.03 S cm −1 and 2.7907 ± 0.0057 W m −1 K −1 , respectively). Meanwhile, with a thickness of 1.8 mm, the average total EMI shielding effectiveness (SE T ) of 3D P-PANI@f-Cu/epoxy nanocomposites in the X-band range reaches a high value of 66.14 dB, which is capable of effectively shielding the electromagnetic signal between Bluetooth earphone and smartphone in the practical application. Furthermore, the 3D P-PANI@f-Cu hybrid nanofillers can efficiently prevent the crack growth in the epoxy nanocomposites and improve their mechanical properties including hardness and elastic modulus .

Embedding cesium lead bromide perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) into silica matrix has been proved as an efficient way to enhance the stability of PQDs. Here, we firstly report 3-(Dimethoxymethylsilyl)propylamine (DEMSPA) as a precursor to form coating shell. The PQDs solution and DEMSPA were mixed in the open air at the room temperature. The final product was extracted from the sol-gel solution. The luminescent properties of QDs is over 60 d of storage under ambient conditions. The PQDs/SiO2 composite powder possesses the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 63.5%. Coating the powder on the blue chips, the white light-emitting diode (LED) exhibits a wide color gamut with 123.6% of National Television System Committee (NTSC) color triangle area. The PQDs/SiO2 composite has been proved cubic phase structure, indicating good crystallinity. The good crystallinity enables QDs to be applied as broad optoelectronic devices.

Co-doping mixed-valence Eu2+/3+ in a single-phase phosphor is an efficient method to realize the emission color regulation, which holds great potential for anticounterfeiting and ratiometric temperature sensing. Here, the mixed-valence Eu-doped Sr1.95+xLi1–xSi1–xAlxO4F (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.25) phosphors were designed and prepared under a reducing atmosphere. The correlation of local phase structures and luminescence properties was discussed. Replacing Si4+–Li+ ion pairs with Al3+–Sr2+ ion pairs compresses the Sr sites occupied by Eu2+, and it stabilizes Eu3+ in a reducing atmosphere and leads to the coexistence of Eu2+ and Eu3+ in single-phase Sr1.95+xLi1–xSi1–xAlxO4F:0.05Eu (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.25) phosphors. Based on the wavelength-dependent luminescence color behaviors of Sr1.95+xLi1–xSi1–xAlxO4F:0.05Eu phosphors, the fluorescent anticounterfeit papers/patterns containing Sr1.95+xLi1–xSi1–xAlxO4F:0.05Eu phosphors were the same as ordinary paper under ambient conditions. However, the hidden colors or images can be read out with green-orange luminescence under 365/300 nm light excitation. Benefiting from the diverse thermal response emission behaviors of Eu2+ (530 nm) and Eu3+ (703 nm), Sr1.95+xLi1–xSi1–xAlxO4F:0.05Eu phosphors exhibit temperature sensing performances, with the maximum absolute and relative sensitivity being 0.0294 K–1 at 573 K and 0.83% K–1 at 348 K. More importantly, Sr1.95+xLi1–xSi1–xAlxO4F:0.05Eu phosphors showed excellent stability in humid, acid, and alkali environments, which contributed to applying mixed-valence Eu2+/3+-doped Sr1.95+xLi1–xSi1–xAlxO4F to the fields of multicolor anticounterfeiting and noncontact optical thermometry.

Abnormal proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) is one of the critical pathological mechanisms of pulmonary hypertension (PH), and therefore is gradually being adopted as an important direction for the treatment of PH. Metallothioneins (MTs) have been reported to be associated with PH, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we demonstrated that the expression level of metallothionein 3 (MT3) was significantly increased in pulmonary arterioles from PH patients and chronic hypoxia-induced rat and mouse PH models, as well as in hypoxia-treated human PASMCs. Knockdown of MT3 significantly inhibited the proliferation of human PASMCs by arresting the cell cycle in the G1 phase, while overexpression of MT3 had the opposite effect. Mechanistically, we found that MT3 increased the intracellular zinc (Zn2+) concentration to enhance the transcriptional activity of metal-regulated transcription factor 1 (MTF1), which promoted the expression of autophagy-related gene 5 (ATG5), facilitating autophagosome formation. More importantly, MT3-induced autophagy and proliferation of human PASMCs were largely prevented by knockdown of MTF1 and ATG5. Therefore, in this study, we identified MT3-Zinc-MTF1-ATG5 as a novel pathway that affects PASMC proliferation by regulating autophagosome formation, suggesting that MT3 may be a novel target for the treatment of PH.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematologic malignancy characterized by infiltration of the blood and bone marrow, exhibiting a low remission rate and high recurrence rate. Current research has demonstrated that class I HDAC inhibitors can downregulate anti-apoptotic proteins, leading to apoptosis of AML cells. In the present investigation, we conducted structural modifications of marine cytotoxin Santacruzamate A (SCA), a compound known for its inhibitory activity towards HDACs, resulting in the development of a novel series of potent class I HDACs hydrazide inhibitors. Representative hydrazide-based compound25cexhibited concentration-dependent induction of apoptosis in AML cells as a single agent. Moreover,25cexhibited a synergistic anti-AML effect when combined with Venetoclax, a clinical Bcl-2 inhibitor employed in AML therapy. This combination resulted in a more pronounced downregulation of anti-apoptotic proteins Mcl-1 and Bcl-xL, along with a significant upregulation of the pro-apoptotic protein cleaved-caspase3 and the DNA double-strand break biomarker γ-H2AX compared to monotherapy. These results highlighted the potential of25cas a promising lead compound for AML treatment, particularly when used in combination with Venetoclax.

All inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have wide practical applications for their remarkable optoelectronic properties. To obtain blue-emitting perovskites with high photoluminescence quantum yield and room-temperature ferromagnetism, CsPb1−xFex(Br1−yCly)3 NCs were synthesized using a hot injection method. The effects of the cation–anion co-exchange on the structural, luminescent and magnetic properties of CsPbBr3 NCs were studied by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The results indicated that there was cation–anion co-exchange in CsPb1−xFex(Br1−yCly)3 NCs, while the band-edge energies and PLQY were mainly affected by the anion exchange. The ferromagnetism of CsPb1−xFex(Br1−yCly)3 NCs had been observed at room temperature, and there was an increase in saturation magnetization with increasing Fe concentration.

Mn-doped perovskite CsPb(Cl/Br) 3 nanocrystals (NCs) have been widely explored due to their unique dual-color emission characteristics, which could reduce the usage of toxic Pb and introduce the exciton emission in blue region and the stable Mn 2+ emission peak in orange-red region via energy transfer from exciton to Mn 2+ emission. Although doping high concentration Mn 2+ could increase the Mn 2+ emission, excess Mn 2+ ions would be expelled from the host perovskite lattice. Doping secondary metal Ni into the NCs as an efficient method is always used to improve the Mn 2+ emission. We adopted a one-pot halogen injection into Cs-precursor under ambient environment method to prepare (Mn, Ni): CsPbCl 3 and (Mn, Ni): CsPb(Cl/Br) 3 NCs, which introduces NiCl 2 in the Mn: CsPb(Cl/Br) 3 NCs to supply enough halide ions and to passivate defect states or traps in the perovskite NCs so as to enhance Mn 2+ emission. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were also conducted to explain our experimental results, which revealed that Ni 2+ doping could eliminate the in-gap deep defects of the CsPb(Cl/Br) 3 nanocrystals. In addition, the passivated lattice defects help to improve the stability of the perovskite NCs, preventing from electron beam irradiation.

Lithium (Li) metal plays an indispensable role in Li-S batteries , but its fast degradation seriously impedes the practical application of Li-S batteries. Here, an ion-conductive LAGP-based composite protective layer (CPL) consisting of lithium aluminum germanium phosphate (Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 ) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is prepared on Li metal anode via a facile casting method. In the presence of LAGP, the negative effect of CPL on the diffusion of Li + is minimized. Hence, it can not only effectively resist corrosive action of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) on Li metal anode, but also reduce interfacial polarization and restrain dendritic Li growth. The protected Li anode exhibits exceptional cycling stability and low voltage polarization (∼30 mV at 0.5 mA cm −2 ) for 300 h. The electrochemical performance of Li-S batteries with protected Li anode is also greatly enhanced. The discharge specific capacity of 832.1 mAh g −1 and an average coulombic efficiency of 92% are obtained for up to 100 cycles at 0.5 C in LiNO 3 -free electrolyte. Additionally, the rate capability of Li-S batteries is significantly improved, delivering a reversible capacity of 565 mAh g −1 at 4 C. Our results also indicate this protection strategy can be extended to the Li-S pouch cells.

Two 3-hydroxyflavone derivatives as one- and two-photon fluorescent chemosensors for cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) were synthesized. The recognition properties and mechanism of the chemosensors for Cys and Hcy were investigated systematically. The experiment results indicate that 3-hydroxyflavone compound 1 (6-bromo-2-(9-ethyl-9 H -carbazol-3-yl)-3-hydroxy-chromen-4-one) after the addition of nickel ions exhibits good recognition properties for Cys and Hcy with fluorescence enhancement and 65 nm absorption peak blue shift based on nickel displacement reaction mechanism. The detection limits (DL) with fluorescence as detected signal are 4.06 × 10 −3 µM (Cys, linear range of 10–80 µM) and 5.8 × 10 −3 µM (Hcy, linear range of 10–100 µM), respectively. But acrylate substituted 3-hydroxyflavone compound 2 (4-oxo-2-(4-diethylamino-phenyl)-4 H -chromen-3-yl acrylate) can specially identify Cys with fluorescence turn-on (DL = 1.87 × 10 −3 µM, linear range of 4–22 µM) based on Cys leading to acrylate hydrolysis mechanism and succedent excited-state intramolecular proton transfer process of 3-hydroxyflavone compound. Then Cys and Hcy biological thiols can be recognized at one time by these two 3-hydroxyflavone derivatives. The bioimaging experiment indicates that both the compounds can be successfully applied to the detection of Cys/Hcy in living cells and compound 2 also can be applied to bioimaging Cys in zebrafish by one- and two-photon fluorescence mode. Then these two compounds have a potential in the application of biological sample analysis.

Exploration of a new nonlinear optical (NLO)-active functional motif is important in the rational design of promising infrared (IR) NLO materials. Compared with typical tetrahedral MQ4 (M = IIB, III, IV metals; Q = S, Se) motifs, MQ3 (M = As, Sb) pyramids favor high second-harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency while frequently hindering phase matching (PM) because of excessively large optical anisotropy. The surfactant–thermal method was first adopted to achieve PM in MQ3-containing systems and synthesize mixed covalent–ionic IR NLO materials. Two new thioarsenates of AMnAs3S6 (A = Cs, Rb) exhibiting strong PM SHG efficiencies comparable to commercial AGS and laser-induced damage thresholds of one order higher than AGS were obtained. The [As3S6]3– unit in their structures is an unprecedented NLO-active functional motif, which can be useful in designing new IR NLO compounds with large SHG efficiency. In addition, the surfactant–thermal method provides a new general strategy for synthesizing new IR NLO materials.

3-Hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) is a highly sought-after platform chemical serving as a precursor to a variety of high value-added chemical products. In this study, we designed and constructed a novel light-powered in vitro synthetic enzymatic biosystem comprising acetyl-CoA ligase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, malonyl-CoA reductase, and phosphotransferase to efficiently produce 3-HP through CO2 fixation from acetate, a cost-effective and readily available substrate. The system employed natural thylakoid membranes (TMs) for the regeneration of adenosine triphosphate and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. Comprehensive investigations were conducted on the effects of buffer solutions, substrate concentrations, enzyme loading levels, and TMs loading levels to optimize the yield of 3-HP. Following optimization, a production of 0.46 mM 3-HP was achieved within 6 h from an initial 0.5 mM acetate, with a yield nearing 92%. This work underscores the simplicity of 3-HP production via an in vitro biomanufacturing platform and highlights the potential for incorporating TMs as a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach in biomanufacturing processes.

BACKGROUND Plant pathogens cause substantial crop losses annually, posing a grave threat to global food security. Fungicides have usually been used for their control, but the rapid development of pesticide resistance renders many ineffective, therefore the search for novel and efficient green pesticides to prevent and control plant diseases has become the top priority in crop planting. RESULTS The results of bioassay studies indicated that most of the target compounds showed certain antimicrobial activity in vitro . In particular, compound X7 showed high inhibitory activity against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae ( Xoo ), with an EC 50 value of 27.47 μg mL −1 , surpassing conventional control agents such as thiazole zinc (41.55 μg mL −1 ) and thiodiazole copper (53.39 μg mL −1 ). Further studies on molecular docking showed that X7 had a strong binding affinity with 2FBW. The morphological change observed by scanning electron microscopy indicated that the surface of Xoo appears wrinkled and cracked under X7 treatment and a total of 2662 proteins were identified by label-free proteomic analysis. Three experiments have elucidated the mechanism whereby X7 induced considerable changes in the physiological and biochemical properties of Xoo , which in turn affected the reproduction and growth of bacteria. CONCLUSION This work represents a pivotal advancement, offering important reference for the research and development therapeutics in combating plant pathogens. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
