Efficient and rapid cleanup of offshore oil spills remains a significant global challenge, primarily due to the high viscosity and low fluidity of most crude oils. Herein, a functional engineered Janus copper foam, integrating special asymmetric wettability and efficient photothermal properties, is constructed via a controllable surface/interface engineering strategy. The surface temperature of the copper foam rises rapidly under light irradiation, thereby reducing the viscosity of the contacting crude oil in situ. Simultaneously, the special oleophobic/oleophilic asymmetric wettability generates a strong internal driving force via a surface energy gradient, which facilitates the unidirectional transport of crude oil. By combining directional transport with photothermal properties, this engineered Janus system enables rapid adsorption and collection of offshore crude oil. Furthermore, integrated with a peristaltic pump to form a “self-heating vacuum cleaner” system, the photothermal Janus copper foam achieves continuous and efficient cleanup of crude oil from seawater.

Permeable textiles show great potential for daily wearable electronics. As crucial electronic components, rigid chips suffer from modulus mismatch with elastic textile substrates, hindering the development of stretchable hybrid electronics. Herein, we report laser-programmed textile hybrid electronics (LPTHE) featuring seamless integration of wires and chips onto laser-programmed textiles (LPTs). Through selective and controllable laser-polymer interaction, LPTs are tailored with gradient stiffness and interfacial affinities. The laser-pretreated regions exhibit a modulus increase ranging from 2.7-fold to 14.9-fold, while maintaining permeability and biological safety. Such LPT provides stretch stability to LPTHE, creating strain isolation between rigid chips and elastic textiles, while also protecting wires on textiles from disconnection and cross-layer short circuits. We demonstrate an LPTHE screen with 5 × 5 light-emitting diodes displaying variable patterns under deformation. Additionally, an untethered stretchable LPTHE patch continuously monitors four health parameters during exercise. The proposed strategy bridges the gap between hybrid electronics and elastic daily textiles.

Electrochemical hydrogenation of biomass-derived substrates offers a sustainable route to valuable chemicals, yet conventional systems often struggle to simultaneously achieve high efficiency and high product purity. Here we report an electrochemical process based on a porous solid-electrolyte reactor that integrates efficient hydrogenation with intrinsic purification for biomass-derived substrates, thereby eliminating the need for supporting electrolytes. The system promotes the hydrogenation of maleic acid solution (a model unsaturated biomass substrate) into succinic acid (a model saturated biomass substrate), via a cation shielding effect while suppressing competing reactions such as hydrogen evolution. By continuously recycling the generated sodium succinate from the cathode to the middle layer, the reactor further converts it into pure succinic acid, establishing a closed-loop alkali-metal-cation shuttle that enhances selectivity and minimizes side reactions. This system delivers succinic acid Faradaic efficiencies ~ 85%, long-term operational stability (over 500 hours), and a final solution of > 98% purity, without downstream electrolyte recovery. These results highlight a scalable pathway toward cleaner, more efficient electrochemical upgrading of biomass.

Achieving uniform zinc deposition is crucial for high-performance
aqueous zinc-ion batteries, yet it remains a significant challenge.
While functional separators based on metal–organic frameworks
(MOFs) like UiO-66-NH 2 offer a promising route to regulate
ion flux, their effectiveness is often hampered by the energy-intensive
synthesis of MOFs and their poor dispersion within polymer matrices.
Herein, we report a rapid, room-temperature ultrasound-assisted synthesis
that yields UiO-66-NH 2 with a unique surface-fused morphology
and a hierarchical pore system within just 1 h. Unlike its conventional
counterpart with a well-defined octahedral shape, this ultrasound-induced
MOF (U-UN) forms a homogeneous and tightly integrated composite with
cellulose nanofibers, constructing a separator with optimized ion-transport
channels and interfacial stability. The U-UN-based separator demonstrates
superior ionic conductivity and Zn 2+ transference number,
effectively guiding the preferential growth of Zn along the (002)
plane. Consequently, a Zn||Zn symmetric cell equipped with this separator
achieves an ultrastable cycling life exceeding 1180 h, and a Zn||MnO 2 full cell retains nearly 100% capacity after 600 cycles at
1 A g –1 . This work not only presents a green and
efficient synthesis strategy for advanced MOFs but also provides fundamental
insights into the design of functional separators through microstructure
engineering for long-lasting metal batteries.

A multifunctional composite, designated as ZIF-8@LY/ZIF-8@CDs-Eu 3+ , was rationally designed as a fluorescence probe and high-performance photocatalyst for simultaneous detection and degradation of oxytetracycline (OTC). To address the critical challenge of co-encapsulating fluorescein (LY) and Eu 3+ -functionalized carbon dots (CDs-Eu 3+ ) within a single porous particle without functional incompatibility, we proposed a core-shell ZIF-8 architecture, where the etched ZIF-8 core served as the host for LY loading, and the in situ grown ZIF-8 shell was introduced to immobilize CDs-Eu 3+ . The acetic acid etching of the ZIF-8 core created abundant sites to absorb more LY molecules, which further enhanced the OTC removal efficiency. On this basis, a fluorescence “turn-on” ratiometric quantitative detection platform for OTC was established, with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 1.8 nM. Meanwhile, the ZIF-8@LY/ZIF-8@CDs-Eu 3+ composite achieved 99% OTC removal within 300 min under light irradiation, driven by the generated reactive species including superoxide radicals (·O 2 − ), hydroxyl radicals (·OH), and photogenerated holes (h + ). Notably, three parallel degradation pathways of OTC were identified via high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). This work not only provides an innovative strategy for the design of multifunctional MOF-based composites, but also opens a new avenue for the efficient monitoring and elimination of antibiotic residues in complex environmental matrices.

Copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) are widely used in aquaculture for their growth-promoting and immunoenhancing properties. However, excessive or over-accumulated Cu-NPs in aquaculture water cause toxicity through waterborne immersion. To explore the toxicity effects of waterborne Cu-NPs on yellowtail kingfish (Seriola aureovittata), a 7-day exposure experiment comprising a control group (no Cu-NPs), a low-concentration group (0.120 mg/L), and a high-concentration group (0.384 mg/L) was conducted, followed by a 7-day recovery period without Cu-NP stress. Exposure to Cu-NPs significantly elevated antioxidant enzyme activities (GSH-Px, Cu/Zn-SOD) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) level in liver and posterior kidney, indicating significant oxidative stress. In the liver, levels of epinephrine and diacylglycerol were significantly upregulated, the cAMP signaling pathway was disrupted, and the NF-κB signaling pathway was activated, along with the downregulation ofap-1anderk1-2and upregulation ofgadd45β, reducing cell proliferation and viability. These alterations resulted in hepatocellular vacuolation and blurred outlines of hepatic lobules. In the gill, high-concentration Cu-NPs activated oxidative phosphorylation, phagosome, and cell-adhesion molecules pathways and downregulated genes related to cell proliferation, adhesion, and tight junctions (i.e.,l1cam,camd1,cntn1,cdh2, andnectin1), leading to cellular vacuolization and epithelial separation in histology. These changes disrupted osmotic balance and significantly upregulated Na+/K+-ATPase activity. All histological damages were not fully recovered within the tested recovery period. Therefore, under conditions of continuous exposure, the concentration of Cu-NPs used for juvenile yellowtail kingfish in aquaculture should be kept below 0.120 mg/L, with a recovery period exceeding 7 days. These results reveal the toxicity mechanisms of Cu-NPs and provide a scientific basis for establishing safe application guidelines in yellowtail kingfish aquaculture.

Fast charging and low-temperature operation are essential for next-generation energy storage. However, high-energy batteries struggle to meet these demands as existing electrolytes cannot simultaneously deliver fast interfacial kinetics, high ionic conductivity and favourable interphase formation. Prevailing strategies focus on weakening thermodynamic solvation, yet this approach does not directly address the kinetic bottleneck, that is, the desolvation barrier governing interfacial charge transfer. Here we reveal that the desolvation kinetics are dictated by dynamic solvent exchange rather than thermodynamic solvation energy. Guided by this mechanistic insight, we have formulated an electrolyte in which two anions carry distinct anionic potentials: high-anionic-potential anions form contact ion pairs that accelerate solvation-exchange kinetics, while low-anionic-potential anions form solvent-separated ion pairs that sustain high bulk ionic conductivity. The electrolyte enables fast charging and low-temperature operation in high-loading lithium-ion batteries. The design principle was further validated in aqueous aluminium-ion electrochemical systems, underscoring its broader relevance to sustainable, resource-abundant battery chemistries beyond the lithium ion. Together, our findings establish a new electrolyte design paradigm that decouples interfacial and bulk transport properties and expands the design space of battery electrolyte systems.

Polyolefin plastics, such as polyethylene (PE), possess chemically inert and nonpolar C–C backbones, making them difficult to recycle and causing persistent environmental pollution. The lack of green and highly selective upcycling methods has led to severe environmental concerns and resource waste. Photoelectrocatalysis utilizes high-energy photogenerated charge carriers to directionally upgrade plastic-derived small molecules into value-added chemicals. However, current photoelectrocatalytic technologies still face challenges in processing structurally inert bulk polymer plastics. In this study, we report a hydrothermal-photoelectrocatalytic tandem strategy to realize the upcycling of PE and other polyolefin plastics. The acetic acid product obtained from hydrothermal treatment are further converted into ethanol over an Au nanoparticle‑decorated GaN/Si (Au/GaN/Si) photocathode, achieving an optimal performance of a Faradaic efficiency of 57.6%. This tandem strategy also demonstrates excellent generality in the conversion of polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), providing a green route for the upcycling of polyolefin plastics. Graphical Hydrothermal-photoelectrocatalytic tandem upcycling enables the conversion of chemically inert polyolefin plastics into value-added ethanol. The Au/GaN/Si photocathode achieves a Faradaic efficiency of 57.6% for ethanol production, while demonstrating broad applicability to PE, PP, and PVC plastics.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are regarded as energy storage devices with excellent development prospects, attributed to their high theoretical capacity, low cost, and favorable safety profile. Nevertheless, challenges such as severe dendrite and hydrogen evolution reactions on the zinc anode have significantly hindered the practical applications of aqueous zinc-ion battery devices. In this study, a Bi 2 S 3 -NC composite artificial interfacial layer was fabricated on the surface of the zinc electrode to modulate the thermodynamics and kinetics of zinc ion deposition/stripping reactions, thereby enabling a stable zinc anode. The experimental findings indicated that the hydrophobic Bi 2 S 3 -NC composite artificial interfacial layer could effectively suppress the occurrence of side reactions. Simultaneously, it regulated the desolvation ability of zinc ions and reaction kinetics, significantly reducing the nucleation energy barrier for zinc (the nucleation overpotential at a current density of 2 mA cm −2 decreased from 87.1 mV to 32.2 mV), thereby facilitating uniform zinc ion deposition. Ex-situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and in-situ optical microscopy characterizations further confirmed that the Bi 2 S 3 -NC protective layer could effectively inhibit the growth of zinc dendrites. Consequently, the modified Bi 2 S 3 -NC@Zn symmetric cell could cycle for more than 3200 h under the conditions of 2 mA cm −2 and 0.5 mAh cm −2 , and the overpotential was also significantly reduced (from 88.5 mV to 29.8 mV). Meanwhile, the Zn//Cu half-cell assembled with Bi 2 S 3 -NC@Zn could still maintain a coulombic efficiency of 99.69% after 270 cycles. Additionally, the full cell assembled with Bi 2 S 3 -NC@Zn and an Mn 2 V 2 O 7 cathode also demonstrated outstanding cycling stability (retained 115.7 mAh g −1 after 1400 cycles at 0.5 A g −1 ), far exceeding the 64.3 mAh g −1 of the bare Zn cell. This study proposes a simple and effective modification strategy for zinc anodes, providing a reference for the multi-dimensional improvement of zinc anode performance.

Developing efficient and durable electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial to advancing rechargeable zinc–air batteries (ZABs). In this work, we rationally design a series of Fe-doped double perovskite oxides (BaPrCo2−xFexO5+δ, denoted BPCF-x) to elucidate the interplay among Fe incorporation, lattice oxygen activity, and OER performance. Comprehensive structural and spectroscopic analysis reveal that Fe doping effectively tailors the electronic configuration and modulates the oxygen vacancy concentration, thereby accelerating charge transfer kinetics. Notably, BPCF-0.8 exhibits the lowest overpotential of 295 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and a Tafel slope of 45 mV dec−1, outperforming the pristine BPC catalyst. Optimized Fe incorporation promotes the lattice oxygen mechanism pathway while preserving structural integrity, as confirmed by OER tests in various pH electrolytes. Furthermore, the ZAB using BPCF-0.8 as the air cathode catalyst delivers high power density and excellent long-term durability, sustaining stable operation for over 500 h. This work elucidates how Fe doping activates lattice oxygen and balances oxygen vacancies, providing valuable insights into cation substitution engineering and lattice oxygen regulation in perovskite electrocatalysts.

Copper-based metal–organic composites are promising
catalysts
for electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (eCO 2 RR). However, it is difficult to prepare stable Cu + active
sites in a controllable way and maintain them in the catalytic reduction.
In this work, a (CuPA-Ag)/Cu electrode was prepared by the ion sputtering
of Ag NPs on the copper foil, followed by the in situ growth of Ag
NP-grafted CuPA NBs on its surface. The electrode possessed a large
amount of Cu + active sites due to the strong σ-donation
and π-backdonation interactions between the phenylacetylene
ligand and Cu + , which significantly improved the catalytic
performances. Using the optimized electrode and reaction conditions,
the eCO 2 RR achieved Faraday efficiencies of 44.5% for C 2 H 4 and 56.5% for C 2+ products in the
H cell. With periodic supplementation of the CO 2 source,
the eCO 2 RR maintained an FE C 2 H 4 above 40% for 11 h. Its superior catalytic performance originated
from the densely stacked nanobelt structures with a large electrochemical
surface area and enhanced electron transfer, the synergistic effect
between Ag and Cu + to promote the CO 2 absorption
and C–C coupling, and the hydrophobicity of CuPA to inhibit
the hydrogen evolution reaction.

Electrochemical nitrate reduction to ammonia (NO 3 RR)
is a sustainable strategy that integrates environmental remediation
with ammonia resource recovery. Current NO 3 RR studies mainly
focus on high nitrate concentrations under idealized electrolyte conditions
to achieve high ammonia yields. Under realistic water conditions,
low NO 3 – concentrations, neutral media,
and competing side reactions often result in sluggish kinetics, low
removal efficiency, and undesirable nitrite accumulation. Herein,
we report a facile strategy for constructing an interface-tunable Cu/Cu 2 O@CoO-P heterojunction
through one-step regulation of the growth of CoO nanoneedles on copper
mesh by tuning the phosphorus concentration. Phosphorus incorporation
effectively modulates the electronic structure of the Co active sites
and tunes the heterojunction interface, thereby optimizing the generation
of adsorbed hydrogen (*H) and suppressing the hydrogen evolution reaction.
This enables a well-matched two-step tandem pathway, where Cu/Cu 2 O facilitates the conversion of NO 3 – to NO 2 – , and the P-modulated CoO sites
rapidly hydrogenate NO 2 – to NH 4 + , thus effectively preventing excessive NO 2 – accumulation. The optimized Cu/Cu 2 O@CoO-P achieves a high Faradaic efficiency
(FE) of 97.11% for NH 4 + - N and an ammonia yield
of 36.09 mg h –1 cm –2 at 10 mA
cm –2 under neutral-pH conditions, along with excellent
stability, retaining 98.45% of its performance after 20 cycles. Notably,
the catalyst demonstrates exceptional practical applicability for
ammonia recovery from real aquaculture tailwater in both batch mode
and continuous-flow mode. This work offers new insights into the design
of tunable heterojunction interfaces to achieve a well-matched and
efficient tandem catalytic process, enabling effective remediation
of low-concentration nitrate contamination and high ammonia recovery
in real wastewater environments.
