In recent years, phosphates have become a research hotspot to explore new ultraviolet (UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Herein, two NLO materials MZnPO 4 (M = Rb, Cs) are synthesized by cation substitution in alkali-zinc orthophosphates. Although they crystallize in different space groups P 2 1 and Imm 2, respectively, they both have a honeycomb-like topological structure consisting of corner-shared PO 4 and ZnO 4 tetrahedra and separated by "M" cations. Two compounds exhibit mild powder second harmonic generation (SHG) responses (1.2 and 0.5 × KDP for RbZnPO 4 and CsZnPO 4 , respectively) with type I phase matching behaviors and short absorption edges (226 nm for RbZnPO 4 and 231 nm for CsZnPO 4 ). Furthermore, their thermal properties , infrared (IR) spectra and theoretical calculations are also mentioned in the paper. The synthesis and structure-property relationship described in the system will enable discovery of new NLO materials.

First-aid burn wound patches play an essential role in reducing mortality by preventing hyperthermia and resisting wound infection. However, existing products still suffer from inferior cooling performance, limited therapeutic effect, weaker wound protection, and/or high cost, which hinder their widespread application in market. Herein, we design and fabricate a cost-effective multilayered topological hydrogel-based first-aid burn wound patch (FBP) for rapid cooling, efficient anti-inflammation, and wound protection. Such a hydrogel patch is fabricated from a polyacrylamide-chitosan (PAAm-CS) hydrogel as the soft antibacterial layer integrated with a topological poly(vinyl alcohol)-chitosan (PVA-CS) hydrogel as the stretchable cooling layer, as well as thin polyethylene films as encapsulated layers to prevent dehydration. As-fabricated FBP exhibits a unique combination of intriguing mechanical, thermal, and biological properties, including softness (Young’s modulus of 83 kPa), stretchability (fracture stain over 106%), high thermal conductivity (0.54 W m −1 K −1 ), instant cooling, effective antibacterial activity (96.2% for S. aureus, 92.2% for E. coli), and excellent biocompatibility (94.04% cell viability at 20 mg mL −1 extract in 24 h). A second-degree scald rat model further demonstrates that fast-cooling and anti-inflammatory FBP can effectively reduce the tissue damage and inflammation levels by showing less edema formation and higher collagen/blood vessel ratios. With a set of these interesting performances, the FBP may be useful as a first-aid burn wound product to alleviate patients’ sufferings and even rescue more lives in critical situation.

Water loss rate is crucial in evaluating the efficiency of atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) materials. However, most moisture-absorbing salts and gels have fixed heat transfer rates, limiting the development of high-performance AWH materials. Herein, an anisotropic PEG/CS/MF nanocomposite (APCM) with adjustable thermal transfer efficiency is presented. APCM was synthesized using polyethylene glycol (PEG), melamine foam (MF), and chitosan (CS) solution through a freeze orientation method. The resulting material exhibits a stable oriented laminated structure formed by hydrogen bonding between PEG, CS, and MF. This unique structure imparts excellent mechanical properties. APCM’s large lamellar gaps and pore diameters enable rapid absorption of atmospheric water molecules at low temperatures without leakage (61.79 kg m −3 ). The compressible nature of APCM allows for efficient heat transfer at high temperatures, and the release of 80% of absorbed water within 15 min. In a proof-of-concept demonstration using a custom-built AWH device, each cubic meter of APCM achieved three AWH cycles within 24 h, producing over 185 kg of water. Therefore, this innovative design offers a promising solution for enhancing the efficiency of AWH, potentially addressing water scarcity issues in various regions.

Metal halide perovskites have shown great performance for various applications, including solar cells, light emitting diodes, and radiation detectors, but they still suffer from the toxicity of lead and instability. Here we report the use of lanthanide series as trivalent metals to obtain low toxicity and highly stable double perovskites (Cs 2 NaLnCl 6 , Ln=Tb or Eu) with high scintillation light yield. The crystals exhibit typical f-f transitions of lanthanide cations, while Cs 2 NaTbCl 6 exhibits strong green photoluminescence, and Cs 2 NaEuCl 6 exhibits red photoluminescence. Under X-ray radiations, the light yield of Cs 2 NaTbCl 6 reaches 46600 photons MeV −1 , much higher than that of the commercially used (Lu,Y) 2 SiO 5 :Ce 3+ crystals (LYSO, 28500 photons MeV −1 ), and previously reported lead-based perovskites (14000 photons MeV −1 ). As a new member of lead-free perovskites, lanthanide-based double perovskites open up a new route toward radiation detections and potential medical imaging.

After an osteosarcoma excision, recurrence and bone defects are significant challenges for clinicians. Combination therapy based on a nanoparticle-based drug delivery system shows great promise in osteosarcoma therapy. In this study, we designed a multifunctional chitosan (CS) nanoparticle , which combined photothermal therapy (PTT) with chemotherapy to synergistically enhance osteosarcoma therapy and bone repair . Curcumin (CM) loaded CS nanoparticles were prepared through ionotropic gelation method and were further functionalized with polydopamine (PDA) coating to form CS-CM-PDA nanoparticles (CCPNPs). The CCPNPs displayed pH- and near-infrared (NIR)- responsive CM release behavior. In vitro anti-cancer results indicated that CCPNPs possessed a long-term stable anti-cancer effect compared to pure CM. The presence of the NIR irradiation combined with CCPNPs resulted in a dramatic decrease in MG-63 osteosarcoma cell viability in 10 min compared with the pure CCPNPs at the concentration of 500 μg/mL. Meanwhile, in vitro study demonstrated that CCPNPs induced MG-63 cell apoptosis via downregulating the expression of Bcl-2 and upregulating the expression levels of Bax and Caspase-3. Besides, CCPNPs could positively induce the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells in vitro . These results suggested that CCPNPs with bifunctional osteosarcoma therapy and bone repair may be an excellent candidate for local cancer therapy and bone regeneration .

Unconventional ion exchangers can achieve efficient removal of [UO2]2+, Cs+, and Sr2+ ions from complex aqueous solutions and are of great interest for environmental remediation. We report two new gallium thioantimonates, [Me2NH2]2[Ga2Sb2S7]·H2O (FJSM-GAS-1) and [Et2NH2]2[Ga2Sb2S7]·H2O (FJSM-GAS-2), which present excellent ion exchange properties for [UO2]2+, Cs+, and Sr2+ ions. They exhibit high ion exchange capacities for [UO2]2+, Cs+, and Sr2+ ions (qmU = 196 mg/g, qmCs = 164 mg/g, and qmSr = 80 mg/g for FJSM-GAS-1, qmU = 144 mg/g for FJSM-GAS-2) and short equilibrium times for [UO2]2+ ion exchange (5 min for FJSM-GAS-1 and 15 min for FJSM-GAS-2, respectively). Both compounds display active ion exchange with [UO2]2+ in the pH range of 2.9–10.5. Moreover, the sulfide compounds could maintain high distribution coefficients KdU even in the presence of excess Na+, Ca2+, and HCO3–. The distribution coefficient KdU of 6.06 × 106 mL/g exhibited by FJSM-GAS-1 is the highest among the reported U adsorbents. The [UO2]2+-laden products can be recycled by conveniently eluting the uranium with a low-cost method. These advantages combined with facile synthesis, as well as β and γ radiation resistance, make FJSM-GAS-1 and FJSM-GAS-2 promising for selective separations in nuclear waste remediation.

Sn-containing hollandite has been highlighted by recent machine learning-guided design as a promising host for radioactive cesium (Cs), yet waste form validation remains limited. Here, a Cs-bearing Sn-based hollandite series, (Ba,Cs) 1.66 (Fe,Sn) 8 O 16 , was synthesized in air by solid-state reaction, with hollandite formation at 1125°C followed by pressureless sintering at 1200°C. x-Ray diffraction confirms hollandite as the major phase across the series, with minor Ba-bearing secondary phases only at low Cs contents. Rietveld refinement reveals anisotropic lattice expansion and a tetragonal-to-monoclinic symmetry change at the Cs-rich end member, accompanied by progressive tightening of tunnel descriptors, indicating a Sn-specific Cs accommodation response distinct from many Ti-based hollandites. Chemical durability was evaluated by monolithic leaching in deionized water at 90°C. At Cs loadings up to ∼17 wt%, 7-day Cs release is comparable to representative Ti-based hollandites tested under similar conditions. Sn exhibits ultralow normalized release, while Cs and Ba show higher release without detectable degradation of the hollandite matrix. Extended 28-day interval leaching on Ba 0.8 Cs 0.86 Fe 2.46 Sn 5.54 O 16 (HS2) and Ba 0.4 Cs 1.26 Fe 2.06 Sn 5.94 O 16 (HS3) separates rapid early wash-off from slower, diffusion-controlled release. By 14–28 days, Cs and Ba leaching rates converge to ∼2–4 × 10 −2 g·m −2 ·day −1 , with effective diffusion coefficients of ∼1–2 × 10 −11 cm 2 /s and leaching indices of ∼11. Benchmarking against Ti-based hollandites places the Sn-based series within a competitive loading–durability window under a comparatively mild processing route, supporting Sn-based hollandite as a readily fabricated candidate for high-loading Cs immobilization.

Construction strategy for selenide exchanger by integrating T3 supertetrahedral clusters. • Synergistic effects of Se component and microporosity on the adsorption kinetics enhancement. • Efficient removal (up to 99.99%) of Cs + and Sr 2+ by column and ultrathin membrane. • High selectivity for Cs + and Sr 2+ in presence of excess coexisting cations and anions. • Great pH (3–12)/irradiation resistance, high exchange selectivity, and facile elution. Elimination of long half-lived 137 Cs + and 90 Sr 2+ hazards through adsorption technique is critical for environmental protection and human health. However, traditional adsorbents are limited in radioactive wastewater treatment by slow kinetics, weak anti-interference, and poor practical applicability. Herein, an indium selenide adsorbent Na 6 In 10 Se 18 ·11.5H 2 O ( InSe-1Na ), with an anionic framework constructed from corner-sharing T3 supertetrahedral clusters, was synthesized using a “assembly-activation” strategy. The soft basic Se component and the cluster-induced microporosity synergistically endow InSe-1Na with remarkable Cs + /Sr 2+ enrichment capacity. It exhibits ultra-fast adsorption kinetics, removing 97.84% of Cs + within 5 min and 99.84% of Sr 2+ within 20 min. The corresponding second-order rate constants ( k 2 ) are 10.241 and 0.335 g mg −1 min −1 , respectively, rendering it the fastest selenide adsorbent. InSe-1Na shows structural stability over a broad pH range of 3–12, with maximum distribution coefficients ( K d ) of 1.02 × 10 5 mL g −1 for Cs + and 8.29 × 10 5 mL g −1 for Sr 2+ . The maximum adsorption capacities ( q m ) of Cs + and Sr 2+ are 252.10 ± 3.77 and 86.49 ± 3.71 mg g −1 , respectively. It exhibits resistance to coexisting ions, maintaining a removal rate ( R ) ≥ 94.73% in the presence of 10 mmol L −1 Na + . Moreover, the rapid kinetic response facilitates its application in column ( R = 99.65%–99.99%) and membrane ( R = 98.95%–99.98%, 0.40 s contact time) filtrations for mixed Cs + and Sr 2+ flow. Given its straightforward synthesis, β/γ irradiation tolerance, and easy elution, InSe-1Na represents a promising adsorbent for radioactive decontamination. Deep purification of nuclear contaminated water containing radioactive 137 Cs + and 90 Sr 2+ is promisingly achieved by a supertetrahedral-cluster-constructed indium selenide ion exchanger, Na 6 In 10 Se 18 ⸱ 11.5H 2 O ( InSe-1Na ), whose soft Se component and microporosity endow this material with top-ranked adsorption kinetics (even in suction filtration conditions with 0.40 s contact time), high capacities, superior selectivity, good resistance to acid/base/coexisting ions, and remarkable column/membrane performances.

The elevation of creatinine in the blood is a typical indicator of renal dysfunction, and persistent renal insufficiency can eventually develop into kidney failure, requiring patients to rely on dialysis or kidney transplantation to maintain their lives. This study focuses on the preparation and performance evaluation of a molecularly imprinted membrane, PVA@CS-MIPs, designed for selective adsorption of creatinine. The PVA@CS-MIPs membrane was fabricated using PVA/CScomposite base membrane prepared via solution casting, with α-methylacrylic acid (MAA) as the functional monomer, N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as the crosslinker, and cerium ammonium sulfate (ACS) and concentrated sulfuric acid as initiators. The PVA@CS-MIPs membrane was characterized using FT–IR, SEM, and XPS. The adsorption and permeation behaviors of PVA@CS-MIPs were investigated, and the underlying mechanisms were discussed. The results demonstrate that PVA@CS-MIPs exhibit a high adsorption capacity of 322.5 mg/g for creatinine and good adsorption selectivity. Moreover, the membrane exhibits excellent reusability. These findings suggest that the prepared PVA@CS-MIPs possesses specific recognition ability forcreatinine and hold promise for applications in hemodialysis-related fields.

In the present work, a series of PVA and CS blend membranes were studied. These prepared membranes were evaluated by binary mixture gases of CO 2 /N 2 and CO 2 /CH 4 . The optimum ratio of PVA/CS for CO 2 permeance was achieved at 5:5. It recorded a CO 2 permeability of 20.8 GPU (1 GPU = 1 × 10 -6 ·cm 3 (STP)·cm −2 ·s −1 ·cmHg −1 ) with CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 89.7, as well as CO 2 permeability of 10.2 GPU and CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity of 56.3. Secondly, two kinds of nanoparticle UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH 2 were used to prepare mixed matrix membranes. The effects of nanofiller content and chemical groups on gas permselectivity were investigated. Results show that the addition of nanoparticles can effectively improve the permselectivity of membrane. The mixed matrix membranes addition with UiO-66-NH 2 achieved the optimum CO 2 performance and these were following the order of PVA(5)/CS(5)-UiO-66-NH 2 > PVA(5)/CS(5)-UiO-66 > PVA(5)/CS(5). For all these membranes, the permeance and selectivity present initial increased and then decreased. Mixed matrix membranes addition UiO-66-NH 2 (containing 3.75 wt%) exhibits a CO 2 permeance of 32.77 GPU and CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 93.47, as well as CO 2 permeance of 25.57 GPU and CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity of 70.1, which was beyond the 2008 Robeson upper bound.

Zn-doped MnCO3/carbon sphere (Zn-doped MnCO3/CS) composites were synthesized using a simple hydrothermal procedure. Among various samples (ZM-50, ZM-05, and ZMC-0), the ternary Zn-doped MnCO3/CS (ZMC-2) catalyst demonstrated excellent visible light-induced photocatalytic activity. This improvement comes from the Zn addition and the conductive CS, which facilitate electron movement and charge transport. The catalyst exhibited efficient degradation of methylene blue (MB) over a wide pH range, achieving a removal efficiency of 99.6% under visible light. Radical trapping experiments suggested that •OH and •O2−played essential roles in the mechanism of organic pollutant degradation. Moreover, the catalyst maintained good degradation performance after five cycles. This study offers valuable perspectives into the fabrication of carbon-based composites with promising photocatalytic activity.

Metal halide perovskites with broad optical absorption and long carrier lifetime are considered as ideal photocatalysts. However, their poor stability in water greatly impedes their application in photocatalytic H 2 evolution because they lose their crystalline structure in water. Herein, we proclaim a new class of photocatalysts: all-inorganic Cs-Cu-Cl perovskite quantum dots (QDs). It exhibits a high photocatalytic hydrogen production rate of ∼ 3.1 mmol/g/h without any cocatalyst under AM 1.5-G solar irradiation (100 mW/cm 2 ). Especially, it remains the high activity for up to 330 h without apparent deterioration of the hydrogen production rate. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the Cu site works as the electron and proton absorption sites as the H 2 production active center. To our best knowledge, there is no report of metal halide perovskites as water-stable photocatalysts. This work opens an innovative way for guiding the exploration of metal halide perovskites photocatalysts for stable photocatalytic H 2 evolution.
