The integration of the KHCO 3 fed bipolar membrane (BPM) electrolyzer with KOH based CO 2 capture enables directly in situ conversion of captured CO 2 into valuable carbonaceous products, eliminating costly CO 2 recovery and compression steps. Even this integrated BPM system assembly holds promise, the critical lack of CO 2 adsorption intermediate species tracking necessitates the development of a monitoring platform. This work pioneers a novel dual-modal strategy employing simultaneous indicator-based sensing with in situ UV-Vis spectroscopy, achieving real time visualization of triphasic dynamics during integrated CO 2 capture-regeneration-conversion. Within this synergistic process involving Ar-saturated KHCO 3 decomposition, and electrochemical reduction, an etched indium (In) catalyst achieves 50% formate Faradaic efficiency (FE) at -1.1 V vs. RHE. The synergistic application of these complementary in situ diagnostics unlocks fundamental mechanistic insights into integrated CO 2 capture and conversion systems, establishing them as critical enablers for advancing efficient and scalable electrochemical CO 2 valorization.

Interference is a significant source of laboratory errors that can cause erroneous measurement results. In clinical practice, all the measured results should exclude the influence of interference. In this study, the ion exchange high-performance liquid chromatography of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was evaluated via three brands of HbA1c analyzers, and 12 endogenous and 24 exogenous substances were added to hemoglobin solutions with different HbA1c levels to simulate the corresponding clinical samples. After the potential interfering substances were screened via interference screening testing, the interference concentration thresholds of each potential interfering substance were determined on the basis of dose–response experiment. When these substances exceed the interference concentration thresholds, elevated HbA1c values are caused by endogenous cholic acid and low pH, whereas exogenous ethanol increases HbA1c measurements in samples with low values. However, HbA1c measurements decreased in samples with high values. Although there are some differences in the thresholds of interferent concentrations between different brands of analyzers, the differences are not significant. On the basis of the detailed interference concentration thresholds and interference substances, this evidence can be provided to clinical laboratory experts and help them interpret and determine the testing results of clinical laboratories.

Efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts are crucial for the advancement of rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs). In this article, we successfully synthesized a high-performance catalyst R-CoOOH@FeOOH through the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Additionally, in situ Raman characterization results indicate that CoFe@NC-w undergo electrochemical reconstruction during the OER, leading to the formation of CoOOH and FeOOH species. This dynamic structural evolution is responsible for the enhanced OER activity of the catalyst. This transformation endowed the catalyst with exceptional OER activity. In addition, the catalyst exhibited exceptional performance in the oxygen reduction reaction, which shows a half-wave potential of 0.86 V vs. (RHE) reversible hydrogen electrode. When integrated into a ZAB, the catalyst delivers a low charging potential of 2.3 V at a high current density of 50 mA cm −2 , accompanied by an excellent long-term durability of 600 h. These findings offer viable strategies for the development of high-performance catalysts for ZAB.

Quantum-sized SnO 2 nanoparticles have been widely employed as electron transport layer (ETL) in high-efficiency quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) owing to their attractive properties, such as high stability, wide bandgap, and excellent optical transparency. However, the device performance of SnO 2 -based QLEDs is still significantly lower to those of ZnO-based devices, suggesting considerable room for improvement. Here, we demonstrate the use of Ga-doped SnO 2 nanoparticles with tunable mobility and conductivity for constructing high-performance SnO 2 -based QLEDs. The influences of Ga-doping concentration on the mobility and conductivity of SnO 2 nanoparticles are systematically investigated. The mobility and conductivity of Ga-doped SnO 2 nanocrystals can be tuned over two orders of magnitude by varying Ga-doping level. This p-type doping strategy effectively suppresses excessive electron transport in the SnO 2 nanocrystals, thereby promoting more balanced charge injection within the QLED structure. As a result, red-emitting inverted QLEDs incorporating 3.5 at% Ga-doped SnO 2 nanocrystals achieve an average external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 17.36% and a peak EQE of 20.04%. These results suggest that Ga-doped SnO 2 nanocrystals are excellent candidates for the fabrication of high-performance QLEDs.

Polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs) size determines their adsorption by Chlorella vulgaris , which induces size-dependent changes in cell membrane properties, and these two effects synergistically regulate the alga's heavy metal adsorption capacity via the carrier effect of PS-NPs. By using laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), it assessed resultant changes in cellular membrane parameters and explored the influence of different-sized PS-NPs, acting as carriers, on algal adsorption of heavy metals. C. vulgaris achieved adsorption for three nanoparticle size fractions within 1 h. Following uptake by C. vulgaris , PS-NPs of different sizes exhibited distinct intracellular and extracellular distribution patterns. Smaller NPs entered cells, while larger ones remained surface-bound. Following adsorption of polystyrene nanoparticles of varying sizes, C. vulgaris exhibited alterations in cell membrane parameters, including increased hydrophobicity and decreased permeability. These changes were size-dependent. Notably, PS-NPs of different sizes demonstrated distinct capacities for adsorbing Hg 2+ , Cd 2+ , and Pb 2+ . PS-NPs were found to influence the adsorption of these heavy metals by C. vulgaris through altering cell membrane parameters and acting as carriers for the metal ions, thereby modifying the alga's equilibrium adsorption capacity.

Intelligent fabrics have been widely investigated owing to their great potential for applications in the field of wearable electronics. Despite significant progress having been made in research on intelligent fabrics, it is still a challenge to combine stable color rendering and sensing capability. In this study, an effective method was developed to prepare a double-sided color composite fabric with hydrophobic water vapor permeability, stable color rendering and excellent sensing properties at different temperatures. The intelligent structural color-changing properties of blue-, green- and orange-colored fabrics are based on monodisperse polystyrene supported silica (PS@SiO 2 ) microspheres of 195, 286 and 301 nm size, respectively. Meanwhile, the structural color does not change as the angle changes. Then, polydimethylsiloxane-modified waterborne polyurethane and ionic liquid were used as adhesives, which not only enhance the interfacial interaction between PS@SiO 2 microspheres and fabric, but also endow the composite fabric with sensing performance and hydrophobicity. When applied to human joint motion detection, the composite fabric-based sensors show good sensitivity (strain coefficient ~ 3.91) and excellent cycling stability (300 times). Simultaneously, the composite fabric has good hydrophobicity (~134°) and excellent water permeability (~410 g m −2 d −1 ). More interestingly, the structural color and sensing performance still hold up well under varying ambient temperatures (−30 to 90 °C) or the mild effects of soaking, washing and freezing. This research provides a novel method for the development of intelligent fabrics with structural color and sensing capability under a range of ambient temperatures. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.

The existing TUF membranes often face challenges such as declining permeation flux and insufficient separation selectivity. This study proposes to improve the above problems by the synergistic effect of Mg–Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) and tannic acid (TA) etched metal–organic frameworks (MOFs): (1) TUF membranes with adjustable interlayer distances and multi-level mass transfer channels were constructed by doping LDH two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets; (2) TAZIF-L (Co) etched by TA was introduced. TA inhibited the swelling of LDH nanosheets through coordination and enhanced the interface binding between ZIF-L (Co) and the substrate, thereby suppressing its shedding. The results showed that TA can etch ZIF-L (Co), and the membrane prepared after etching has better selectivity and stability of dye/salt separation. Taking MTAZIF-0.02 as an example, the pure water flux was 88.23 L m −2 h −1 , which was 1.91 times that of MLDH. The removal rate of congo red (CR) solution was 92.56%. The NaCl rejection in methyl blue (MB)/NaCl solution was 10.88% and in CR/NaCl solution was 10.57%. This study provides an experimental basis for the construction of highly selective ultrafiltration membrane for the treatment of high concentration dye/salt wastewater.

The increasing scarcity of freshwater resources has driven the development of solar interfacial evaporation technology, the effectiveness of which depends on the design of photothermal materials. Herein, a machine learning approach was combined with material design to develop Fe-Co Prussian blue analogue (PBA)-derived carbide/wood composite photothermal materials for desalination via solar interfacial evaporation. Through a bimetallic synergistic effect, the Fe-Co ions enhanced the wood's light absorption and stability, and also improved water transport via a “nanopump” effect, enabling the composite material to achieve a high evaporation rate of 2.807 kg m −2 h −1 under 1 sun. Notably, the desalinated seawater from the material was experimentally confirmed to meet World Health Organization (WHO) drinking-water standards. The machine learning model was applied to optimize Prussian blue analogue selection and the composite material design, providing a data-driven route for developing photothermal materials.

The limitations of heat transfer coefficient (HTC) and critical heat flux (CHF) pose a fundamental question: how can we simultaneously overcome these constraints to achieve durable and high-performance thermal systems? Addressing this, we fabricated a micro−/nano-hierarchical surface via synergistic micro-arc oxidation (MAO) and chemical vapor deposition, creating a porous alumina layer decorated with FeCo-catalyzed carbon nanotubes (FeCoCNTs). This strategy combines enhancements by having micropores increase nucleation site density to boost HTC, while nanoscale FeCoCNTs enhance capillary wicking to elevate CHF through rapid liquid rewetting. The surface achieves promising performance (CHF: 195.7 W cm −2 , HTC: 117.6 kW m −2 K −1 ), representing 65.2% and 118.2% improvements over bare Al. Crucially, MAO > 30 s forms a high-temperature ceramic phase inhibiting boehmite. After 10 cyclic tests, the structure remains intact (>95% HTC retention). This work establishes a feasible strategy for surface engineering, demonstrating how integrated micro−/nano-architectures fabricated by scalable methods mitigate Al’s intrinsic limitations, providing a robust platform for next-generation high-performance boiling surfaces with significant implications for enhancing thermal management energy efficiency.

Background Aromatization is an important reaction route to form stable carbon skeleton for reserving pores generated during activation of biomass. Salts with Lewis acidity are known to catalyze dehydration and condensation reactions to form aromatic skeletons, while anions of salts are generally not inert and could influence evolution of pore development. Elucidation of the potential synergistic effects anions on pore evolution of activated carbon (AC) is of importance in optimizing the process for activation. Methods This study investigated the activation of peach wood with FeCl 3 , FeCl 2 , Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 or Fe(NO 3 ) 3 ) at 700°C, combined with in-situ IR spectroscopy to capture real-time dynamic change of reaction intermediates during activation process. Significant findings The results showed that Cl - in the iron salts uniquely stabilizes Fe 3+ (a distinctive advantage over other anions) for achieving efficient aromatization, yielding AC with the highest S BET (816.8 m 2 /g) and superior capability for removal of basic fuchsin (87.4%). FeCl 2 (Fe 2+ ) had weakened activity for aromatization, forming AC with loosely porous aggregates (597.6 m 2 /g). The activation with Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 reduced the sulfates and led to sulfur deposit blocking pores (S BET : 23.5 m 2 /g), with in-situ IR identifying S-O species that directly interfered with aromatization process. Fe(NO 3 ) 3 generated oxidative radicals that disrupted aromatization and wrapped Fe 3 O 4 species in inner structure, clogging pores (S BET : 230.8 m 2 /g). Increasing temperatures from 700 to 900°C in activation with FeCl 3 reduced the S BET progressively to 642.7 m 2 /g, resulting from excessive gasification, which also decreased AC yield to 17.4% and induced irreversible micropore-to-mesopore conversion, a temperature-dependent pore evolution pattern rarely highlighted in iron-salt activation systems. Notably, In-situ IR analysis revealed accelerated dehydration and aromatization at 300-400°C for consolidating microporous frameworks by Cl - and oxidation of carbonaceous intermediates by NO 3 - as well as formation of S-O species from SO 4 2- and their interference on aromatization. This work fills the knowledge gap in decoupling the roles of anions and iron valence in biomass activation, providing a targeted strategy for designing high-performance ACs with unique pore characteristics.

Background Conventional single-layer coatings offer limited durability and lack active self-healing, making them inadequate for protecting copper in aggressive environments. A multilayer strategy combining passive barriers with responsive inhibitor release is therefore essential for enhanced corrosion resistance. Methods A hierarchical self-healing coating was constructed by combining an in-situ grown, silane-modified layered double hydroxides (LDH) film, core–shell PVDF@BTA (PB) nanofibers, and an epoxy (EP) topcoat. The LDH layer extended ion-diffusion pathways and enhanced adhesion, while the nanofibers enabled controlled BTA release upon damage. Interfacial interactions were examined using spectroscopy, SEM/EDS, XRD, FTIR, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Anticorrosion and self-healing performance were evaluated by EIS, OCP, polarization testing, and BTA-release kinetics . Significant Findings The LDHA/PB/EP coating exhibited outstanding long-term corrosion resistance, achieving a high |Z| 0.01 Hz of 4.32 × 10 9 Ω·cm 2 and maintaining stability after 60 days of immersion. Upon mechanical damage, the coating restored up to 90.3% of its original corrosion resistance through synergistic formation of LDHA–BTA and Cu–BTA protective complexes. MD simulations and electrochemical tests confirmed ATES-enhanced BTA adsorption, enabling dense inhibitor films. This multilayer design affords both passive barrier protection and active self-healing, offering a promising strategy for high-performance, intelligent anticorrosion coatings for copper systems.

Ionic liquids (ILs) are considered as the next generation of compact thermoelectric materials, but their thermoelectric performance still requires enhancement. To overcome the thermoelectric performance bottlenecks caused by the strong Coulombic interactions and high viscosity of ILs, based on the selective solvation effect by solvents, this study proposes the idea of low-concentration IL with highly polar organic solvent as diluent to enhance both the ion mobility and the mobility difference between cations and anions. The measured Seebeck coefficient, conductivity, and thermal conductivity, the figure of merit ZT and power factor PF of the thermoelectric materials of 13 ILs + solvent binary mixtures obtained verified that our idea is feasible. The optimal combination was determined to be 0.5M 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide + dimethyl sulfoxide (0.5M [EMIM][DCA]+DMSO), with ZT of 0.039 which is 6.7 times as [EMIM][DCA]. This performance is comparable to that of thermoelectric gels. The capacitor used the designed thermoelectric materials shows an energy density of 0.45μJ/(m 2 ·K) with 5kΩ load, which is 71.5% larger than [EMIM][DCA]. This work proposes a new strategy based on binary mixtures of low-concentration IL + dipolar aprotic solvent to significantly improve IL thermoelectric performance and make liquid thermoelectric materials reach a new milestone.
