In the present study, three models of acute liver injury in mice were induced via the administration of CCl4 (35 mg/kg, 24 h), acetyl‑para‑aminophenol (APAP; 200 mg/kg, 12 h) and ethanol (14 ml/kg, 8 h) to study the effect of glutathione S‑transferase A1 (GSTA1) on acute liver injury. The serum levels of alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase and liver homogenate indicators (superoxide dismutase, glutathione and glutathione peroxidase) were significantly lower in model groups compared with the control group (P<0.01), whereas the liver homogenate indicator malondialdehyde was significantly increased (P<0.01). The expression of GSTA1 in liver was significantly decreased in the model groups compared with the control group (P<0.01). GSTA1 protein content was 3.8, 1.3 and 2.6 times lower in the CCl4, APAP and ethanol model groups, respectively. Furthermore, GSTA1 mRNA expression levels decreased by 4.9, 2.1 and 3.7 times in the CCl4, APAP and ethanol model groups, respectively. Among the three models, the injury induced by CCl4 was the most marked, followed by ethanol and finally APAP. These results suggest that GSTA1 may be released by the liver and serve as an antioxidant in the prevention of liver damage.

Photocatalytic CO 2 reduction and biomass selective oxidation have considerable practical implications in addressing environmental challenges. However, developing efficient photocatalyst is the key to realize the mass-market applications. Herein, an MoS 2 @GCN S-scheme heterojunction, rich in sulfur vacancies (Sv), was fabricated by a dicyandiamide-blowing and calcination strategy using NH 4 Cl as the gas template. With the synergistic effects of Sv and the S-scheme charge migration mechanism, the 30%-Sv-MoS 2 @GCN demonstrated exceptional performance, showcasing a CO evolution rate of 68.3 μmol g −1 h −1 and a xylonic acid yield of 64.2%, without using any sacrificial agents. The formation of Sv was confirmed through electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis. The S-scheme charge transfer mechanism of the Sv-MoS 2 @GCN heterojunction was verified by in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra, EPR analysis, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This study establishes a framework for enhancing photocatalytic CO 2 reduction and biomass selective oxidation by regulating charge transfer through sensible structural design.

It is proved that secondary phases, such as Cu 2 Se, and ZnSe etc., and MoSe 2 layer can form at Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe)/Mo electrode interface, due to that Mo electrode reacts with CZTSSe and Se vapor during selenization process. The secondary phases and MoSe 2 with inappropriate thickness can decrease power conversion efficiency (PCE) of CZTSSe solar cell. In this work, a simple method was proposed to suppress the reaction between CZTSSe and Mo, and to optimize the thickness of MoSe 2 . This was achieved by growing a layer of Mo oxide in situ on the Mo electrode surface through soaking the Mo electrode in H 2 O 2 . The Mo oxide layer consisted of MoO 3 , MoO x and MoO 2 . It could suppress the reaction between Mo and CZTSSe, thus preventing the formation of secondary phases in CZTSSe. By further tuning the soaking time, the thickness and density of the Mo oxide layer were optimized, resulting in an optimized thickness of the MoSe 2 layer and a significant improvement in the contact quality at both the front and back interfaces. This improvement is beneficial for suppressing carrier recombination and reducing contact resistance. Furthermore, the Cu/(Zn+Sn) ratio in CZTSSe was optimized, leading to an expansion of the depletion region width. As a result, the reverse saturation current density and series resistance decrease, while the photogenerated current density increases. This ultimately led to a rise in PCE from 7.66% for CZTSSe solar cells with Mo electrodes that were not soaked to 8.95% for those with Mo electrodes soaked for 20 s.

The low recovery rate of petroleum and the inevitable formation of large quantities of oil–water emulsions limit the efficiency of petroleum production, transportation, and storage. To address these issues, four nonionic interfacial regulators (PA-1, PA-2, PAMA-1, and PAMA-2) were developed by incorporating oxygen atoms into a polyether substrate via esterification and polymerization reactions. Additionally, PAMA-1 and PAMA-2 were further modified with sulfonyl groups. Experimental results demonstrated that all regulators exhibited high-efficiency cleaning and demulsification performance at 25 °C. These regulators achieved 100 % oil removal from mineral and metal surfaces without causing damage. Furthermore, they could effectively break different kinds of water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions. It is also found that over 95.33 % dewatering rate could be achieved at 20 °C in 15 mins when PAMA-1 (600 mg/L) is added into asphaltene-stabilized emulsion and complete dehydration (100 %) within 40 mins. These interfacial regulators possess high interfacial activity and are rich in polar groups (–COOR, –OH, O = S = O, –C–O–C–). Mechanistic studies revealed that the heteroatomic groups introduced into the regulators serve as active sites for noncovalent interactions reconstruction, forming hydrogen bonds with natural interfacially active substances (e.g., asphaltenes) and water molecules. This promotes oil dispersion on solid surfaces and disrupts the oil–water interfacial film, improving cleaning and demulsification efficiency. Importantly, pre-treatment with these interfacial regulators effectively prevents emulsion formation. These regulators hold significant potential for applications in oil–water and oil–solid separation processes during petroleum exploitation.

Oxidation, a pivotal process in organic synthesis, is essential for the conversion of various biomass derivatives, including 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), into valuable chemicals. This research employs poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) as supports to fabricate Au/PILs catalysts, which are subsequently utilized in the oxidative esterification of HMF to produce dimethyl 2,5-furandicarboxylate (FDMC). The modification of PILs demonstrates that catalyst’s performance is optimized when the PILs anion (IL: EGDMA = 1: 4) is [Tf 2 N - ]. The presence of the [Tf 2 N - ] group is essential for charge transfer between the carrier and the active metal Au, thereby enhancing the catalytic reaction. Thermogravimetric analysis (TG) reveals the exceptional thermal stability of the 2 % Au/PILs-Tf 2 N-14 catalyst. The efficient conversion of HMF to FDMC is achieved using the 2 % Au/PILs-Tf 2 N-14 catalyst at 120°C, 12 h, with CH 3 ONa (0.75 equiv.) and 2 MPa O 2 , yielding a HMF conversion ( C HMF ) of 96.41 % and a FDMC selectivity ( S FDMC ) of 100 %. The heterogeneous catalyst 2 % Au/PILs-Tf 2 N-14 maintains high catalytic activity after multiple cycling experiments. A catalyst based on precious metal-loaded PILs was utilized to achieve efficient and selective conversion of HMF to FDMC under low loading conditions. This approach not only offers valuable insights for future research but also promotes the shift towards renewable energy sources. Additionally, the adsorption behavior of O 2 on Au 8 clusters and the interaction between the reaction substrate HMF and [Tf 2 N - ] were examined through density functional theory (DFT) calculations, providing theoretical backing for further investigation.

The fundamental insights into the reaction mechanism, especially the electron transfer mechanism, are highly promising yet challenging for W 18 O 49 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction catalysts during photocatalytic nitrogen fixation. Herein, the 1D/2D nanostructured S-scheme heterojunctions were designed by in situ growth of 1D W 18 O 49 nanowires on 2D g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets through solvothermal method using methanol as solvent. In situ XPS analysis revealed that electrons in the conduction band of W 18 O 49 recombine with holes in the valence band of g-C 3 N 4 under the conduction effect of internal electric field, band bending, and Coulombic attraction in the W 18 O 49 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction. The photogenerated electrons are retained in g-C 3 N 4 , where the negative reduction potential of its conduction band enhances the activation of N 2 . As a result, the ammonia generation rate employing the optimal W 18 O 49 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction is 64.8 μmol g cat −1 h −1 , approximately double that of W 18 O 49 alone and 2.3 times higher than that of g-C 3 N 4 . The enhanced activity and facile methodology make the current material exceedingly appealing for implementation in photocatalytic nitrogen fixation for the synthesis of ammonia.

C 3 N 5 is emerging as an important visible light catalyst because of its narrow band gap, nontoxicity and thermal stability. Herein, sulfur-doped g-C 3 N 5 (SCN) was prepared by copolymerization of thioacetamide (TAA) and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (3-AT). Then copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) were anchored onto the SCN framework, resulting in the formation of Cu/SCN. It was found that the average H 2 production rate of SCN and Cu/SCN was 0.76 and 1.34 mmol g −1 h −1 , which was much higher than that of C 3 N 5 , respectively. Acting as a new active spots, sulfur doping effectively reduces the band gap of g-C 3 N 5 , and the formation of S-Cu bonds further creates an efficient electron transport pathway. As a result, Cu/SCN possesses a broader visible light absorption spectrum, stronger reduction capability, and greater efficiency in photo-induced carrier separation and transfer. Therefore, this work introduces a novel strategy for design of high efficiency photocatalytic H 2 evolution carbon nitride through non-noble metal and sulfur anchoring junction.

Owing to the improved charge separation and maximized redox capability of the system, Step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunctions have garnered significant research attention for efficient photocatalysis of H 2 evolution. In this work, an innovative linear donor–acceptor (D–A) conjugated polymer fluorene-alt-(benzo-thiophene-dione) (PFBTD) is coupled with the CdS nanosheets, forming the organic–inorganic S-scheme heterojunction. The CdS/PFBTD (CP) composite exhibits an impressed hydrogen production rate of 7.62 mmol g −1 h −1 without any co-catalysts, which is ≈14 times higher than pristine CdS. It is revealed that the outstanding photocatalytic performance is attributed to the formation of rapid electron transfer channels through the interfacial Cd─O bonding as evidenced by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations and in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. The charge transfer mechanism involved in S-scheme heterojunctions is further investigated through the photo-irradiated Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) analysis. This work provides a new point of view on the mechanism of interfacial charge transfer and points out the direction of designing superior organic–inorganic S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts.

In this paper, a modification of g-C 3 N 4 was carried out by combining non-metal doping with the construction of heterojunctions, and a type II heterojunction composite, S/g-C 3 N 4 @β-Bi 2 O 3 , was prepared. The phase structure, morphology, elemental composition, valence band structure, and light absorption performance of the photocatalyst were analyzed using characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–vis DRS). The performance of the composite photocatalyst in the photocatalytic degradation of gaseous toluene, one of the typical volatile organic compounds (VOCs), under simulated solar light was studied. The effects of preparation conditions, toluene concentration, and recycling on the photocatalytic performance of the composite photocatalyst were investigated. The results show that under the optimal preparation conditions, S/g-C 3 N 4 @β-Bi 2 O 3 achieved a degradation efficiency of 74.0% for 5 ppm toluene after 5 h of light irradiation. Although the degradation efficiency decreased to 61.2% after five cycles, it maintained 83% of its initial activity, indicating good stability of the composite photocatalyst. Free radical quenching experiments demonstrated that h + was the main active species in the photocatalytic degradation of toluene, followed by ·O 2 − . Based on all experimental results, the migration law of photo-generated charges was analyzed, and a possible photocatalytic mechanism was proposed. In this study, a new material was obtained for the photocatalytic removal of VOCs by improving the photocatalytic properties of g-C 3 N 4 .

This work provided innovative apertures with great exploratory value for engineering oxygen defects and designing S-scheme photocatalysts for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production. In this study, the S-scheme heterostructure CdLa 2 S 4 /MoO 3-x (CLSMO) was synthesized by electrostatic self-assembly to solve the problem of electron hole recombination in hydrogen evolution half-reaction. The results showed that the hydrogen precipitation rate of the optimized CLSMO was 41.41 mmol g -1 h −1 , which was 12.70 times higher than that of monomeric CLS. The presence of oxygen vacancies (Ovs) increased the range of light absorption and reduces the surface dynamic barrier. More importantly, the experimental results and density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed that CdLa 2 S 4 and MoO 3-x strictly followed the S-scheme charge transfer path, accumulating photogenerated electrons in the CLS conduction band, and achieving efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. This study provided a new idea to solve the problem of photocatalyst activity using OVs and S-scheme heterojunctions.

Perfluorohexane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (GenX) is now widely used as a substitute for the prohibited perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which has caused growing concerns about its persistence and potential hazards to human health. This study developed a biomass gelatin-derived N and S self-doped porous carbon electrodes (NSGC), for the electro-Fenton (EF) degradation of GenX. To facilitate absorotion, diffusion, and degradation in EF, the NSGC was fluorinated to enhance the selectivit and binding energy between the catalyst and GenX by the “F-F interactions”. The resulted F-NSGC reach 58.8% electroadsorption efficiency to GenX in 60 min, and then degraded 95.8% with a mineralization rate of 63.2% within 180 min. The degradation mechanism was discussed by identifying intermediate products. Moreover, the F-NSGC can maintain a good degradation effect in complex ionic background conditions and actual water samples. These findings extend the applications of biomass-based carbon electrodes and consolidate the effect of F-F interactions on degradation of GenX and other per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances.

Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) is the most common pathogen in human purulent infections, which can cause local purulent infections, as well as pneumonia, pseudomembranous enteritis, pericarditis, and even systemic infections. The conventional methods including bacteria colony counting, polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay can't fully meet the requirement of highly sensitive detection of S. aureus due to their own disadvantages. Therefore, it's an urgent need to develop new platform to detect S. aureus in the early infection stage. In this study, a new surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based nanoplatform based on dual-recognition of aptamer (Apt) and vancomycin (Van) was developed for the highly sensitive detection of S. aureus . The SERS nanoplatform consisted of two functional parts: aptamer-conjugated Fe 3 O 4 magnetic nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 -Apt MNPs) for bacteria enrichment and vancomycin modified-Au nanoparticles (Van-Au NPs) as the SERS probes for S. aureus quantitative detection. Upon the target bacteria enrichment, the SERS signals of the supernatant after magnetic separation could be obtained and analyzed under different concentrations of S. aureus . The limit of detection of the proposed assay was found to be 3.27 CFU/mL. We believe that the proposed SERS-based nanoplatform has great potential as a powerful tool in the early detection of specific bacteria.
