Cement-based sensors (CBSs) have demonstrated potential in structural health monitoring (SHM) despite rare applications due to their poor flexibility and sensing accuracy/protection with robustness. Herein, a promising strategy is reported to design a waterborne epoxy resin (WEP)-modified cement-based composite coating sensorcapable of simultaneous stable SHM and durable protection. The interpenetrating network (IPN) formed by WEP within cement paste is bionic to the toughness and crack resistance of biological muscle tissue and balances the ion permeation performance and polarization of hydration products. The polymerization-redispersion progress and mechanism of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) gel modified with [3-(2-aminoethylamino)-propyl]trimethoxysilane silsesquioxane (C-POSS) are characterized and revealed. The results show that the muscle-like IPN increases the cement-based coatings’ maximum deflection angle to 30° and improves the monitoring accuracy of compressive, tensile, and fatigue microchanges of concrete structures to more than 95%. The POSS···Ca 2+ ···C-S-H interaction in C-POSS partially transferred the intra-adhesive hydrogen bonds surrounding the nanoconducer into electrostatic bridging ones to maintain an excellent electromechanical conductive dispersion.

In this study, a lead dioxide electrode co-modified with carbon microspheres and neodymium (CMS-Nd-PbO2) was prepared. The structural morphology and electrochemical properties of the four electrodes, PbO2, CMS-PbO2, Nd-PbO2, and CMS-Nd-PbO2, were compared by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance, respectively. The results showed that the prepared CMS-Nd-PbO2 electrode had higher surface denseness and higher electrode activity. Based on the accelerated lifetime experiment, the actual working life of four electrodes was studied, and the CMS-Nd-PbO2 electrode had a relatively long lifetime, increased 24.60% compared with the PbO2 electrode. The influencing parameters of electrochemical degradation of bisphenol S (BPS) by CMS-Nd-PbO2 electrode, the ability of different electrodes to generate hydroxyl radicals, reaction mechanism, and the possible BPS degradation pathways were also discussed. Further, the safety of the prepared electrode was evaluated. Under the optimal parameters, the removal rate of BPS and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were 96.49% and 51.84%, respectively. The dissolved lead ion concentration in the solution after electrochemical oxidation was lower than the WHO standard. The CMS-Nd-PbO2 electrode showed promising applications in the degradation of emerging contaminants wastewater.

Glutathione S -transferases (GSTs) play a key role in detoxification of xenobiotics in organisms. However, their other functions, especially response to the natural toxin cantharidin produced by beetles in the Meloidae and Oedemeridae families, are less known. We obtained GST cDNAs from three sources: Cydia pomonella ( CpGSTd1 ), Sus scrofa ( SsGSTα1 ), and Triticum aestivum ( TaGSTf3 ). The predicted molecular mass is 24.19, 25.28 and 24.49 kDa, respectively. These proteins contain typical N-terminal and C-terminal domains. Recombinant GSTs were heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli as soluble fusion proteins. Their optimal activities are exhibited at pH 7.0–7.5 at 30 °C. Activity of CpGSTd1 is strongly inhibited by cantharidin and cantharidic acid, but is only slightly suppressed by the demethylated analog of cantharidin and cantharidic acid. Enzymatic assays revealed that cantharidin has no effect on SsGSTα1 activity, while it significantly stimulates TaGSTf3 activity, with an EC 50 value of 0.3852 mM. Activities of these proteins are potently inhibited by the known GST competitive inhibitor: S -hexylglutathione (GTX). Our results suggest that these GSTs from different sources share similar structural and biochemical characteristics. Our results also suggest that CpGSTd1 might act as a binding protein with cantharidin and its analogs.

Thienoacenes are a prominent class of fused-ring conjugated organic compounds and have attracted considerable attention due to their high coplanarity, good stability, high charge-carrier mobility, etc. However, most current synthetic methods toward thienoacenes require costly starting materials and reagents, as well as a lengthy synthetic procedure with low overall yields. Herein, a nonprecious copper-catalyzed system without additional ligands was developed to facilitate C–S coupling and 5-endo-dig thienannulation reaction, leading to the synthesis of a range of thienoacenes including dithieno[3,2-b:2′,3′-d]thiophenes (DTTs) and thieno[2′,3′:4,5]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene[2,3-d]thiophene (TTAs) with yields of up to 90% (for single-sided thienannulation reactions) and 65% (for double-sided thienannulation reactions). In addition, three π-extended DTTs were studied as potential thermoelectric materials, and their composites with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) exhibited high thermoelectric performance with the power factor up to 399.01 ± 16.26 μW m–1 K–2 at room temperature, which is the highest reported for thermoelectric composites comprising small-molecule thiophene derivatives and SWCNTs, signifying a step forward in the development of high-performance thermoelectric composites based on thiophene derivatives.

Bisphenol S (BPS) and Bisphenol F (BPF), as alternatives to bisphenol A (BPA), are recognized for their endocrine-disrupting properties, but their combined immune toxicity mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study systematically evaluates the individual and joint immune toxicity effects of BPS and BPF through ADMET predictions, transgenic zebrafish models, and molecular docking analyses. The results indicate that equal effect concentration BPS and BPF act through distinct immune pathways: BPS primarily targets macrophages to mediate immune responses, while BPF significantly stimulates neutrophil proliferation and induces a stronger inflammatory response through chemokine signaling. Molecular docking studies show that BPF binds more stably to pro-apoptotic protein Mapk8 and oxidative stress-related protein Hsp90aa1, leading to significantly higher levels of apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) compared to BPS. The similarity of modes of action (MOA)between BPS and BPF based on relevant immune indicators calculated and experimentally is about 0.3; this quantitative result also proves that modes of action differ widely. Nonetheless, most of the indicators showed superimposed effects in the combined experiments, and it is noteworthy that the oxidative stress indicators (SOD, MDA) showed synergistic effects, suggesting that BPS and BPF, which have very different modes of action, are able to be risk assessed using an additive model with respect to immunity, but may exhibit synergistic risks with respect to oxidative stress. This research demonstrates that BPS and BPF induce immune toxicity via different molecular targets and pathways and highlights the need to account for their synergistic effects in risk assessments. These findings provide important insights into the immune toxicity mechanisms of BPA substitutes and the potential risks of combined exposures.

The NiMoO 4 /CoMoO 4 nanorod arrays wrapped by Ni-Co-S nanosheets were successfully grown on the surface of carbon cloth (NCMOS@CC) by combining of hydrothermal and electrochemical deposition methods. And the as-prepared NCMOS@CC showed good flexibility. The obtained NCMOS@CC as electrode materials were tested in a three-electrode system, showing a pretty good specific capacitance of 778.1 F g −1 at a current density of 0.5 A g −1 and excellent rate capability using 1 M KOH as the electrolyte. The flexible asymmetric supercapacitors (FASCs) were further fabricated using NCMOS@CC as the positive electrode and activated carbon@carbon cloth (AC@CC) as the negative electrode. The fabricated FASCs exhibited a safe working range with a potential window of 0–1.6 V with a maximum energy density of 33.1 Wh Kg −1 at 0.25 A g −1 and maximum power density of 3195 W kg −1 at 4 A g −1 . The fabricated FASCs even bent at different angles still showed good flexibility and stable electrochemical properties . These performances enable the NCMOS@CC to be one of the potential flexible electrodes for using in flexible energy storage devices.

N,S-co-doped carbons were synthesized through the calcination of sulfur-modified chitosan for the first time, and utilized as persulfate activators for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) remediation in water. The chitosan and sulfonyl chloride underwent one-step sulfonylation reaction to generate S-modified chitosan. The catalyst NSC-3 showed both excellent adsorption and catalytic oxidation efficiency, corresponding 98.62% removal and 81.34% mineralization rate within 90 min. The rate constant ( k obs ) was up to 0.0578 min −1 , with 75.60-folders higher than that of sulfur-free catalyst NC (7.6580 ×10 −4 min −1 ). The synergy of N and S contributed to the improvement of removal efficiency. The adsorption and oxidation performance were highly depended on the S/N atomic ratio. At the S/N ratio of 0.18, the maximum adsorption and oxidation capability were obtained. The NSC-3/PS system exhibited outstanding adaptability at the wide pH range from 3.07 to 9.28, while the inhibitory effect occurred at strong basic conditions (pH = 11.01). The thiophene sulfur and structural defects were identified as the catalytic sites in activating PS. Both radical and non-radical pathways were responsible for degradation process, where 1 O 2 played a major role, SO 4 ·- exerted a minor contribution, and O 2 ·- acts as the precursor for the production of 1 O 2 . Another source of 1 O 2 was assigned to the activation of PS by structure defects . This work indicates that N,S-co-doped carbon at an optimal S/N atomic ratio effectively catalyzes persulfate, and provides an innovative method to construct bifunctional carbon materials of adsorption and oxidization.

The N, S co-doped carbon nanotube-encapsulated Co nanoparticle (NP) material was prepared by one-pot pyrolysis of cheap precursor materials. As-prepared Co@NSC-800 exhibited excellent catalytic activity in transfer hydrogenation and N-formylation of nitroarenes, and the solvent and hydrogen source were the critical factors affecting the selectivity of aniline and benzamide. Moreover, the synergistic effect between Co NPs and N, S atoms was beneficial to improve the catalytic efficiency of Co@NSC-800; especially, the incorporation of S atoms greatly boosted the selectivity of N-formylation. Despite the use of HCOONH4 (HCOOH) as a hydrogen donor for hydrogenation and formylation of nitroarenes, the special nanotube structure of the Co@NSC-800 catalyst effectively prevented the corrosion of Co NPs and showed excellent durability under harsh reaction conditions. In addition, the catalyst maintained excellent catalytic activity after six cycles and was easily separated using an external magnet. Thus, this study can provide an effective method for the transfer hydrogenation and formylation of nitroarenes.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) based heterojunctions offer a promising strategy for CO 2 photoreduction, contributing to carbon neutrality and environmental remediation. However, the precise design and control of these heterostructures remain critical challenges. Herein, we report the precise construction of a heterostructure by integrating 2D ZnIn 2 S 4 nanosheets with NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) for efficient CO 2 photoreduction in a sacrificial agent-free environment. A comprehensive investigation demonstrates robust interfacial interactions and work function differences between NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) and ZnIn 2 S 4 , facilitating the formation of an interfacial electric field and enabling the construction of an S-scheme heterojunction. The directional migration of photogenerated charge carriers effectively suppresses their recombination, retaining the strong oxidative and reductive potential of the heterostructure components. In-situ infrared spectroscopy provides concrete evidence that the S-scheme heterojunction significantly enhances the formation of key intermediates, which are crucial for CO generation. The optimized NMT-5@ZIS achieves a CO yield of 17.30 umol g -1 h −1 without sacrificial agents, representing 8.6 and 6.6-fold improvements over pristine NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) and ZnIn 2 S 4 , respectively. This work bestows an innovative insight into the construction of MOF-based S-scheme heterojunctions, opening new avenues for practical applications in energy storage and photocatalysis.

The limited narrow spectral absorption and rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers in photocatalytic materials result in inefficient molecular oxygen activation and insufficient generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), severely restricting the degradation efficiency of organic pollutants. Herein, a composite catalyst with broad visible-light responsiveness was fabricated via a facile solvothermal and room-temperature stirring strategy, where sheet-like Bi 4 O 5 Br 2 was encapsulated with W 18 O 49 nanowires. The as-prepared catalyst exhibited high concentrations of h + and O 2 − active species, achieving a 92 % degradation rate of ciprofloxacin (20 mg/L) within 60 min, alongside exceptional environmental tolerance and stability. Experimental and computational investigations confirmed the S-scheme charge transfer mechanism, which enhances carrier separation while preserving electrons and holes with strong redox capabilities. The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of W 18 O 49 synergistically promoted hot electrons and photogenerated electrons to activate O 2 , generating abundant O 2 − . This work proposes a novel design paradigm for efficient and stable visible-light photocatalysts, advancing solutions to emerging antibiotic pollutants in aquatic systems.

CO 2 -to-high value-added chemicals via a photocatalytic route is of interest but strangled by the low efficiency. Herein, a novel Fe-TiO 2-x /TiO 2 S-scheme homojunction was designed and constructed by using a facile surface modification approach whereby oxygen vacancy (OV) and Fe introducing on the TiO 2 nanorod surface. The as-synthesized Fe-TiO 2-x /TiO 2 S-scheme homojunction exhibits positive properties on promoting photocatalytic CO 2 reduction: i) the nanorod structure provides numerous active sites and a radical charge transfer path; ii) the doped Fe and OV not only synergistically enhance light utilization but also promote CO 2 adsorption; iii) the Fe-TiO 2-x /TiO 2 S-scheme homojunction benefits photoexcited charge separation and retains stronger redox capacity. Thanks to those good characters, the Fe-TiO 2-x /TiO 2 homojunction exhibits superior CO 2 reduction performances with optimized CO/CH 4 generation rates of 122/22 μmol g -1 h −1 which exceed those of pure TiO 2 by more than 9.4/7.3 folds and most currently reported catalytic systems. This manuscript develops a facile and universal approach to synthesize well-defined homojunction and may inspire the construction of other more high-efficiency photocatalysts toward CO 2 reduction and beyond.
