Multifunctional semiconductors play an important role in developing advanced photoelectric technologies. In this work, based on an octahedral replacement strategy in chalcogenides, a new selenide semiconductor NaMn 3 Ga 3 Se 8 was rationally designed, and synthesized by the flux method. The compound crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric (NCS) P 6 ¯ space group, and is composed of unique prismatic [NaSe 6 ], octahedral [MnSe 6 ] and tetrahedral [GaSe 4 ] motifs, inheriting the stable three-dimensional framework built by the octahedral and tetrahedral units in the A I Mg 3 II C 3 III Q 8 VI family. NaMn 3 Ga 3 Se 8 shows the largest known secondary nonlinear optical (NLO) response of ∼2.1 × AgGaS 2 (AGS) in the A I Mg 3 II C 3 III Q 8 VI family, and a high laser-induced damage threshold of ∼3.0 × AGS. Meanwhile, the introduction of Mn 2+ with unpaired 3 d electrons induces a strong red emission band (685–805 nm) under the excitation source of 496 nm, as well as a paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition at 7.3 K. The results confirm that NaMn 3 Ga 3 Se 8 possesses multifunctional features including significant NLO response, fluorescence emission and AFM properties, and illustrate that replacing octahedral units with approaching size and geometry (like [MgSe 6 ] and [MnSe 6 ]) could be a feasible way to develop multifunctional chalcogenides.

Currently, surface coatings on agricultural machinery are crucial for extending service life. However, achieving coating strength and toughness remains a challenge. In this paper, two types of high-hardness iron-based coatings, referred as S1 and S2, were prepared by modulating the Mo/V ratio in the Fe-C-V-Mo-B system, and their microstructural evolution and property changes were investigated. The results show that the S1 coating primarily consist of martensitic matrix, spherical VC, blocky Mo 2 B, and a small amount of skeleton-like Mo 2 B. In contrast, the S2 coating consist of martensitic matrix, petal-like VC, and skeleton-like Mo 2 B. Compared with S1, the VC volume fraction in S2 increases by 6.5%, and the Mo 2 B volume fraction increases by 16.3%. The average microhardness of S1 and S2 coatings are 737 HV 0.5 and 954 HV 0.5 , respectively, indicating that the S2 coating exhibits a 22.7% higher microhardness compared with S1. The average friction coefficients of S1 and S2 coatings are 0.434 and 0.398, respectively. Furthermore, the wear loss of S2 coating is approximately half that of S1. The fracture toughness of S1 and S2 coatings are 51.9 MPa·m 1/2 and 51.7MPa·m 1/2 , respectively. Fracture analysis reveals that the skeleton-like eutectic structure in S2 can deflect cracks generated by impact, increase the length of propagation path, and improve the toughness of coating. It allows S2 coating to achieve high hardness and wear resistance, while maintaining toughness comparable to S1 coating. This study provides a theoretical basis for the design and development of iron-based coatings with high hardness, high abrasion resistance, and impact resistance for agricultural machinery.

As lung cancer is still the deadliest cancer worldwide, there is an urgent need for safer and more efficient therapies. This study aims to address the challenges posed by tumors in reducing the efficacy of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) through mechanisms such as hypoxia and abnormal blood vessel formations. In this study, manganese-containing DNA nanoflowers (DHA-DDF) loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) were functionalized with an AS1411 aptamer and a hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) antisense sequence. The in vitro tests confirmed their stability and pH-responsive drug release properties. The combined treatment of DHA-DDF and ultrasound could induce apoptosis, inhibit the migration and invasion of Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells, and down-regulate the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF in LLC cells. The in vivo studies using subcutaneous LLC in mice showed that ultrasound enhanced the tumor-targeted accumulation and penetration of DHA-DDF. The combined approach markedly reduced tumor development and extended the survival of tumor-bearing mice, effectively down-regulated the expression of hypoxia-related genes, inhibited cell proliferation, and blocked tumor angiogenesis. The programmable, biocompatible, and multifunctional nanoflowers demonstrate a notable improvement in the efficacy of SDT and provide robust tumor inhibition in both cellular and animal models. The findings highlight the potential of DNA nanotechnology in advancing innovative cancer therapies.

Understanding the intricate phase transformations and their impact on the mechanical properties holds paramount importance in developing high entropy alloys (HEAs) with ideal properties, yet it remains challenging and underexplored. In this study, a series of novel CrFeMnNi (2-x) Ti x (x = 0, 0.5, 1, and 1.5 at.%) HEAs were meticulously designed based on the established Valence Electron Concentration (VEC) rule, with the VEC values systematically varied as the atomic composition (Ni, Ti) changed. The microstructure, phase transformation behavior, mechanical properties, and strengthening mechanisms were systematically investigated. We found that the HEA powders exhibited phase behavior consistent with the VEC rules. The spark plasma sintered (SPSed) HEA bulk samples exhibited a phase transformation attributed to the precipitation of Cr and Mn within the matrix, resulting in the formation of the σ phase. Quantitative calculation of the strengthening mechanisms revealed that grain boundary strengthening and precipitation strengthening were the primary contributors to the high strength of the HEA bulk samples. These findings not only advance the utilization of the VEC rules in HEA material design but also contribute to the understanding of the phase behavior and mechanical properties of HEAs, facilitating the design of high performance HEAs.

The permanganate/sulfite (Mn(VII)/sulfite) process has shown promise for degrading recalcitrant organic micropollutants, yet current methods to differentiate the roles of intermediate manganese species (IMS) and sulfate radicals (SO₄ •- ) show limitations. In this study, atrazine (ATZ) - a widely detected and oxidation-resistant herbicide - was used as a probe compound to investigate the reactivity of IMS and SO₄ •- generated in the Mn(VII)/sulfite system. ATZ exhibited negligible degradation by Mn(VII) alone but underwent rapid transformation within seconds in the presence of sulfite, with degradation efficiency increasing at lower pH and optimal [Mn(VII)]/[sulfite] ratios. Using stopped-flow spectrophotometry, pseudo-first-order kinetics were confirmed. Six major transformation products were identified, among which atrazine amide (CDIT) and desethyl-atrazine (DEA) were predominant. The molar ratio of CDIT to DEA ([CDIT]/[DEA]) was evaluated as a mechanistic indicator. A consistent ratio of ~4.8 at low sulfite levels indicated Mn(V)-dominated oxidation, while lower ratios at higher sulfite concentrations reflected increasing contributions from Mn(III) and SO 4 •− . This trend was supported across pH 3, 5, and 7. Water matrix components such as natural organic matter and nitrite were found to inhibit ATZ degradation, likely due to their scavenging of reactive species. This study establishes the [CDIT]/[DEA] ratio as a novel mechanistic indicator in manganese-activated oxidation and highlights the Mn(VII)/sulfite process as an effective strategy for degrading recalcitrant micropollutants in water treatment.

Single-atom nanozymes have made important progress in the field of sensors, but their catalytic performance as natural enzyme substitutes is far from satisfactory. We describe here a FeFe dual single-atom nanozyme (Fe2N6/CN) with a Fe loading of 0.89 wt %, and it shows a synergistic effect and a peroxidase (POD)-like activity. Especially, the Fe2N6/CN nanozyme shows an excellent specific activity (315.4 U μmol–1). The values of catalytic rate constant (kcat) and catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) for the Fe2N6/CN with 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) are 23.8 s–1 and 8.24 × 104 M–1 s–1, respectively, and with H2O2, they are 30.8 s–1 and 0.919 × 103 M–1 s–1, respectively. Density functional theory calculations reveal that Fe2N6/CN possesses excellent POD-like activity. Based on the POD-like activity of Fe2N6/CN, we design a Fe2N6/CN nanozyme chemical tongue for the colorimetric recognition of aromatic amines using three wavelengths as array’s channels. The data interpretation using linear discriminant analysis, clustering heat map, etc., shows excellent clustering separation and classification of aromatic amines. Furthermore, this chemical tongue can simultaneously recognize mixtures of different molar ratios, quantitatively determine different concentrations of individual aromatic amines, and even identify unknown samples. This preparation strategy not only provides a promising pathway for the utilization of nanozymes but also highlights the potential of dual single atoms as an attractive platform for design of sensor arrays.

Rheum tanguticum petiole juice, widely consumed in Tibet as both a vegetable and an herb, exhibits varying chemical compositions depending on the production methods. This study aims to identify the bioactive components in raw juice using ultra-performance liquid chromatography–quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–QTOF–MS–MS) and analyze their antidiabetic properties through network pharmacology. In addition, the effects of the three types of membrane clarification were evaluated. A total of 36 compounds were identified, and a components–targets–pathways–disease network was constructed for diabetes treatment. Among the membranes tested, the 0.2 μm microfiltration membrane exhibited the highest permeate flux and retained significant amounts of total flavonoids, phenolics, and proanthocyanidins, making it the optimal choice for juice clarification. These findings lay the groundwork for the industrial processing and utilization of R . tanguticum petiole juice in China.

Rapid, low-cost trace inorganic Hg(II) detection in environmental waters remains a critical public-health challenge. Here, we engineered Escherichia coli into a naked-eye whole-cell biosensor by coupling a redesigned MerR-Pmer element to the pyomelanin biosynthetic pathway. Three 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HppD) homologs from Aeromonas media WS, Aeromonas hydrophila 4AK4, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 were codon-optimized and functionally screened. The sensor strain of TOP10/pHg-PAO1 exhibited the broadest quantitative range (4.9–1250 nM) and the lowest detection limit (1.2 nM), outperforming most fluorescent counterparts. The water-soluble red-brown pyomelanin product was measured directly in the culture supernatants by absorbance at 400 nm, without requiring extraction. It remained chromogenically stable for at least 14 hours. The biosensor demonstrated absolute selectivity for Hg(II) in the presence of other ions, including Mg(II), Ca(II), Cd(II), Mn(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II), all at a concentration of 5 μM. It retained quantitative accuracy in tap, lake, and coastal seawater matrices. These features enable on-site, equipment-free screening of environmental waters and establish pyomelanin as a robust, user-friendly chromogenic reporter for next-generation whole-cell sensors.

Transition metal high-entropy alloys (HEAs) demonstrate exceptional catalytic performance due to their structural complexity, featuring rich local atomic configurations, tunable electronic structures, and abundant active sites. However, this structural versatility poses both thermodynamic and kinetic challenges to conventional wet-chemical synthesis routes. Herein, we develop a novel solution plasma strategy that enables the direct synthesis of HEA catalysts in aqueous media. Through the FeCoNiCrMn electrode discharge in pure water, uniform HEAs nanoparticles (≈200 nm) are successfully anchored onto a variety of oxide substrates. The HEAs/TiO 2 catalyst achieves a CO generation rate of 298.1 mmol/g HEAs /h, representing ca. an order-of-magnitude higher activity than single-metal catalysts under both thermocatalytic and photothermal conditions. Advanced structural characterization reveals a dual-phase core-shell architecture consisting of a metallic alloy core and surface oxides preferentially enriched at CrMn sites. This spatially resolved structure enables cooperative catalysis, where CrMn-rich oxide domains promote H 2 dissociation, CoNi metallic regions facilitate CO 2 reduction, and Fe sites present in mixed valence states serve as electron and oxygen transfer bridges. We further identify a self-limiting oxidation mechanism intrinsic to plasma synthesis, which ensures charge redistribution at the metal-oxide interfaces and synergistically enhances photothermal catalysis. This work establishes an energy-efficient synthetic route for HEAs and elucidates structure-function relationships critical for advancing multimetallic catalytic systems.

High entropy alloys (HEAs) show great potential in electromagnetic-wave absorption (EMA), but impedance matching and environmental stability are still difficult problems to solve. Solid-solution strengthening is an effective means to enhance the performances of EMA materials. The multi-element co-penetrated FeCoCrMn HEAs are prepared using urea (CH4N2O) as the multi-element source by a green mechanochemical approach. The phase structure, magnetic properties, corrosion and oxidation resistance, and EMA properties of HEAs are investigated in detail. The results show that the crystal structure of HEAs is significantly altered by multi-element introduction. It is noteworthy that Ms is significantly enhanced on increasing the multi-element co-penetration level. The dielectric loss and magnetic loss of HEAs are significantly enhanced to optimize the impedance matching and attenuation properties, so as to achieve excellent EMA performances. Multi-element co-penetrated FeCoCrMn HEAs achieve a reflection loss (RL) of −59.6 dB at 6.06 GHz while achieving an ultra-wide effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 6.86 GHz at 1.32 mm. In addition, HEAs exhibit excellent corrosion resistance, indicating suitability in harsh environments. This study provides a new strategy for the design of highly effective EMA materials.

Heusler alloys have attracted increasing attention due to their rich functionalities, among which Co2MnSi, a half-metallic full-Heusler, is expected to be a promising n-type thermoelectric material with a superior power factor. However, the intrinsically high thermal conductivity of Heusler alloys due to their metallic nature limits the enhancement in thermoelectric performance. Therefore, it is crucial to reduce the thermal conductivity while maintaining the high power factor, which is a key strategy to fabricate high-performance Co2MnSi alloys. Here, by incorporating a small amount of SiC nanoparticles into the Co2MnSi matrix, the thermoelectric figure of merit is enhanced by approximately 5-fold from 0.03 to 0.15 at 1025 K, due to a significant reduction in thermal conductivity from 22 to 5 W/mK. The electrical transport properties do not suffer any obvious degradation after incorporation of a significant amount of SiC, while the mechanical strength of Co2MnSi-based alloys is further improved. The thermoelectric device fabricated with Co2MnSi as the thermoelectric legs is validated for solid-state refrigeration. It is also expected to promote the development of Co2MnSi-based thermoelectrics with strong magnetism for new applications with multiple functionalities.

As the first intrinsic magnetic topological insulator , MnBi 2 Te 4 has provided a material platform for the realization of various novel physical phenomena arising from the interaction between magnetism and band topology. Here, transition element Zn - doped MnBi 2 Te 4 crystals of millimeter size, synthesized by using self-flux method, are reported. With increasing Zn content, the hexagonal lattice shrinks, and the Raman frequencies show a red shift. All samples undergo a transition from A - type antiferromagnetic (A - AFM) to canted antiferromagnetic (CAFM) to ferromagnetic (FM) under magnetic field . The antiferromagnetic ordering temperature slightly increases from 24.2 K for MnBi 2 Te 4 to 25.2 K for Mn 0.75 Zn 0.25 Bi 2 Te 4 . The transition field from AFM to CAFM decreases from 3.4 T for x = 0–3.07 T for x = 0.25. Isothermal magnetization data suggest that the single - ion anisotropy of Mn 2+ decrease and the interlayer magnetic interaction increase slightly due to the diluted magnetic ions and unit cell shrinkage. Samples Mn 0.9 Zn 0.1 Bi 2 Te 4 and Mn 0.8 Zn 0.2 Bi 2 Te 4 show metallic conduction with a cusplike anomaly at around T N ≈ 24 K, corresponding to a long - range antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition. The increase of T N and decrease of transition field ( H c S F ) upon Zn doping, make it possible to manipulate magnetic and electrical properties in topological insulators by non - magnetic element substitution, which is of great significance for further application in quantum information storage and spintronics .
