Photothermal-assisted photocatalysis, which couples localized thermal energy with photogenerated charge carriers to overcome thermodynamic and kinetic limitations, has emerged as an effective strategy for solar-driven CO2 reduction. Herein, nanoflower-like NiO/ZnO p–n heterojunction spheres were rationally constructed via a simple hydrothermal calcination method to achieve efficient concentrated photothermal-assisted CO2 reduction. The unique nanoflower morphology provides abundant interfacial contact between NiO and ZnO, while the formation of the p–n heterojunction establishes an internal electric field that suppresses electron-hole recombination. Under concentrated irradiation (4.31 W·cm−2), the photothermal coupling effect reduces the apparent activation energy and enables the NiO/ZnO photocatalyst to deliver CO and CH4 production rates of 51.78 and 15.96 μmol·g−1·h−1, which are 7.92 and 9.61 times higher, respectively, than those obtained under nonconcentrated illumination. Photoelectrochemical measurements and in situ DRIFTS further reveal that the built-in electric field facilitates directional charge transfer from ZnO to NiO, thereby promoting CO2 adsorption and activation. We demonstrate an efficient photothermal-coupling strategy to construct high-performance catalysts for artificial photosynthesis and solar-to-fuel conversion.

In this study, we present a biosensor that employs a microfluidic approach to fabricate nematic liquid crystal (NLC) microspheres for the detection of phospholipase A1 (PLA1), a biomarker linked to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We created uniform-diameter NLC microspheres utilizing a custom-designed microfluidic chip and functionalized them with phosphatidylcholine, which facilitates a radial arrangement. Following this, the NLC microspheres underwent a transition from a radial to a bipolar arrangement due to the hydrolysis of PC by PLA1. This method allows for direct observation of the detection process using a polarizing microscope. Image binarization is subsequently applied to enhance detection sensitivity, achieving a detection limit for PLA1 of 400 pg/μL. Furthermore, the detection time is reduced by more than twelve-fold compared with traditional methods. The rapid response capability of NLC microspheres demonstrates significant potential for the detection of various diseases and biomarkers. Our research establishes a foundation for the further development of a detection platform for the AD marker PLA1, paving the way for the creation of a low-cost, rapid, and portable diagnostic tool.

Passive radiative cooling is an environmentally friendly and energy-free cooling method, but the practical application of radiative cooling materials is still limited by high costs and cumbersome preparation processes. Here, low-cost and chemically stable polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) was selected as the raw material and porous P-PVDF films for daytime radiative cooling were prepared by a simple phase separation method. A solar reflectivity of 95.6% and an atmospheric window emissivity of 99.1% were obtained, resulting in high-performance radiative cooling without a metal reflective layer. A cooling power of 69.43 W · m − 2 was achieved in direct sunlight, achieving sub-ambient cooling of 4.2°C. This work provides a unique solution for radiative cooling materials, which is expected to be implemented in practical applications of passive radiative cooling.

In recent years, lead-free metal halide luminescent materials have attracted extensive attention because of their excellent properties including but not limited to good environmental compatibility, ultrawide emission band, and high photoluminescence quantum yield. They are considered to have great application potential in the photoelectric field. We modified the previously reported synthesis and prepared pure phase Cs2SnCl6 : Bi3 + , Te4 + using simple solution method. Then the emitter was further coated with polysiloxane to form polysiloxane luminescent ceramic (PSOLC). The prepared PSOLCs have almost the same luminescence as the powders, and their color coordinates and color temperature can be tuned freely by adjusting the ratio of blue and yellow emission, which both encourage outdoor-lighting application. Additionally, they are demonstrated to support flexible luminescence and show highly improved machinability. To test their performance in practical application, we apply the PSOLCs to safety identification board and finally get a satisfactory result, directly indicating that the PSOLCs prepared from lead-free perovskite are quite suitable for flexible-lighting-related display applications.

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) play a significant role in catalysis, biosensor, antibacterial activity, SERS spectroscopy, and photoelectric materials. These prominent applications are strongly dependent on the size and uniformity of Ag NPs. However, a variety of preparation methods such as electrochemical and green synthesis methods are of difficulties to obtain extra-small and uniform Ag NPs due to complex growth environment, which is prone to render anisotropy of nanoparticles thereby limiting the development of Ag NPs. To address the unmet need, tremendous effort has been made synthesizing extra-small Ag NPs with the outstanding monodispersity and remarkable stability in reverse micelles. The efficient and facile method is established employing a high-performance protective agent, i.e., octadecylamine (ODA) with the average diameter of 3.36 ± 1.0 nm. Moreover, by adjusting octadecylamine concentration, the versatile method has the capability of controlling the size of Ag NPs precisely. In addition, the growth mechanism of Ag NPs based on nucleation theory is described schematically, which is of widespread generality to adapt our method for the preparation of other nanoparticles in the similar system. Overall, the promising strategy to the synthesis of extra-small Ag NPs lays a solid foundation for potential applications in wound healing, health care, medical diagnosis, and environmental remediation.

Polyvinyl pyrrolidone- (PVP) and ethylene glycol- (EG) coated water dispersible mesoporous CaF2:Eu3+,Li+ nanocrystals were synthesized by a simple one-pot hydrothermal method. The role of Li+ ions on the morphology and spectra in the CaF2 nanocrystals have been reported. The synthesized nanocrystals were monodisperse with regular sphere-like shapes and exhibited obvious hollow mesoporous structure. The results from x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy determined the successful incorporation of Eu3+ ions and Li+ ions into the CaF2 host lattice. The excitation and emission intensity of Eu3+ enhanced with Li+ concentration until 7 mol.%. The nanocrystals could disperse in water for more than a month due to the EG and PVP molecules coated over the nanocrystals.

Cellular senescence is an irreversible and multifaceted process inducing tissue dysfunction and organismal aging, and thus the clearance of senescent cells can prevent or delay the onset of aging-related pathologies. Herein, we developed an augmented photothermal therapy strategy integrated with an antibody against β2-microglobulin (aB2MG) and an immune adjuvant imiquimod (R837) to effectively accelerate senescent cell apoptosis and clearance under a near-infrared light. With this strategy, the designed CroR@aB2MG enables the targeting of senescent cells and the application of photothermal therapy concomitantly, the initiation of immune clearance subsequently, and finally the realization of protective effects against senescence. Our results showed that the photo-induced heating effect caused senescent cells to quickly undergo apoptosis and the synchronous immune response accelerated the clearance of senescent cells in vitro and in vivo . Therefore, this photoactivated speedy clearing strategy may provide an efficient way for the treatment of senescence-related diseases by eliminating senescent cells with biomaterials.

Highly active and sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates were prepared by n -type (1 to 10 Ω⋅cm in resistivity) porous silicon (PS) substrates of Ag nanoparticles. SERS studies were carried on these substrates with R6G as a test molecule with a λ ex =785 nm laser. We optimized the fabrication procedure, which is easy and rapid, for nanostructured silver particles on the surface of PS. The maximum of SERS enhancement for R6G is observed for PS with an anodization current density of 6 mA/cm 2 and an etching time of 8 min. The detection limit for R6G absorbed on Ag-coated PS (Ag-PS) is 10 nM and SERS spectra show that the Ag-PS substrate has high SERS activity. The larger pore diameter of this new Ag-PS substrate is expected and the size of the pore diameter is about 1.2 μm, which permits better biomolecule infiltration. This new Ag-PS substrate can be applied in SERS in biochemical and biomedical fields.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), as a great potential label-free tool in metabolite detection, offers a strategy for rapid bacterial identification. However, it still lacks experimentally supported spectral interpretation at the metabolite level for complex biosamples. We present a SERS-based method for reliable bacterial intracellular metabolic profiling using plasmonic colloids with high rapidness and cost-efficiency. A convolutional neural network model was constructed to accurately classify eight types of bacteria with an overall accuracy as high as 90.44% and identify the key spectral features for classification by Shapley Additive Explanations. Molecule-level interpretation of the SERS metabolic profiles has been further realized in combination with laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry, evidencing the primary metabolite contribution to the bacterial spectral signatures and molecule-level distinctions among different bacterial types. We provide insights into the mechanism of bacterial identification by label-free SERS and pave the way for interpretable SERS diagnostic tools for various diseases.

Detectors with cost-effective, polarization-sensitive, and integrative functionalities are required for next-generation ultraviolet (UV) detection systems. Low-dimensional semiconductor materials have potential for optical device applications, especially polarization detection, because of their excellent polarization characteristics. Therefore, ultralong ZnO microwires, ∼0.5 to 1 cm long, were prepared using the chemical vapor-phase epitaxy method, making it easy to build photoelectric devices. The emission polarization of the ZnO microwires excited by circularly polarized light was ∼0.60, indicating a high-anisotropy optical property. Their UV-polarization spectrum and photoelectric detection were determined. When the ZnO microwire was excited by linearly polarized UV light, the intensity of photoluminescence (PL) changed periodically with the polarization direction of the UV light. The PL polarization of the ZnO microwire for linear UV detection was ∼0.12. For a ZnO microwires photoelectric device, the photocurrent anisotropy ratio reached 1.28 when the polarization angle of the incident UV light changed. These results suggest that the obtained ultralong ZnO microwires have the potential for application in future UV-polarization detection systems.

Since the concept of computational spectroscopy was introduced, numerous computational spectrometers have emerged. While most of the work focuses on materials, optical structures, and devices, little attention is paid to the reconstruction algorithm, thus resulting in a common issue: the effectiveness of spectral reconstruction is limited under high-level noise originating from the data acquisition process. Here, we fabricate a computational spectrometer based on a quantum dot (QD) filter array and propose what we believe is a novel algorithm, TKVA (algorithm with Tikhonov and total variation regularization, and the alternating direction method of multipliers), to suppress the impact of noise on spectral recovery. Surprisingly, the new TKVA algorithm gives rise to another advantage, i.e., the spectral accuracy can be enhanced through interpolation of the precalibration data, providing a convenient solution for performance improvement. In addition, the accuracy of spectral recovery is also enhanced via the interpolation, highlighting its superiority in spectral reconstruction. As a result, the QD spectrometer using the TKVA algorithm shows supreme spectral recovery accuracy compared to the traditional algorithms for complex and broad spectra, a spectral accuracy as low as 0.1 nm, and a spectral resolution of 2 nm in the range of 400 to 800 nm. The new reconstruction algorithm can be applied in various computational spectrometers, facilitating the development of this kind of equipment.

Achieving valley pseudospin with large polarization is crucial in the implementation of quantum information applications. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) with different phase structures provide an ideal platform for valley modulation. The valley splitting has been achieved in hybrid phase WSe2, while its valley polarization remains unstudied. Magnetic field controllable valley polarization is explored in WSe2 with coexistence of H and T phases by an all-optical route. A record high valley polarization of 58.3% is acquired with a 19.9% T phase concentration under a 4-T magnetic field and nonresonant excitation. The enhanced valley polarization is dependent on the phase component and shows various increasing slopes, owing to the synergy between the T phase WSe2 and the magnetic field. The magnetic field controlled local magnetic momentums are revealed as the mechanism for the large valley polarization in H / T-WSe2. This speculation is also verified by theoretical simulations of the nonequilibrium spin density. These results display a considerable valley magnetic response in phase-engineered TMDC and provide a large-scale scheme for valley polarization applications.
