Upconversion inverse opal photonic crystals based on a luminescent matrix of Yb, Er co-doped Y 2 Ti 2 O 7 were synthesized, and their photoluminescence was investigated. By comparing the spectra of the inverse opals with that of the reference sample, the contribution of photonic band gap effect to the upconversion emission was observed in the Y 2 Ti 2 O 7 : Yb, Er inverse opals. Intensity of the green or red upconversion emission from Er 3+ was depressed when the overlapping between the photonic band-gap and Er 3+ ions emission band occurs.

Atomic scaling of cobalt-based catalysts is the feasible and sustainable approach for selective oxidation of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to produce bio-plastic monomer of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) under mild conditions. Here, a high-efficiency dual single-atomic Co/Cu supported on nitrogen-doped carbon (a-Co/Cu-NC) is constructed. Leveraging exceptional oxygen activation ability, the Co/Cu dual-atomic-sites can accelerate the HMF oxidation, suppressing by-product formation mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) in low-oxygen environments. This leads to enhanced FDCA selectivity with a yield of 98% and a production rate of 298.8 mmol FDCA g metal −1 h −1 under ambient conditions. Comprehensive experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that long-range interactions between Co and Cu sites optimize reactant adsorption and lower energy barriers for •O 2 − and HMFCA formation.

The thermally induced volume phase transition process of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (PNIPAM-co-AA) hydrogel is studied using FT-IR spectroscopy in combination with the perturbation correlation moving window (PCMW) technique and two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2Dcos) analysis. According to PCMW spectra analysis, an elevation of volume phase transition temperature (VPTT) due to an extra equilibrium of repulsive electrostatic interactions of acrylic acid moieties in hydrogel from 34 °C to ca. physiological temperature (37 °C) is determined. 2Dcos helps us to conclude that the dehydration of hydrogel responds earlier in the process of network collapse than hydrogen bond variations of AA and NIPAM moieties during heating, while the hydrogen bonds of NIPAM and AA moieties change before the network swelling in the cooling process. Furthermore, relatively stable inner hydrogen bonds of AA moieties restrict the complete expansion of PNIPAM-co-AA hydrogel, resulting in a unique irreversible recovery during cooling.

Novel supramolecular hydrogel/micelle composites were designed for the co-encapsulation and prolonged release of camptothecin (CPT) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). For this purpose, heparin-conjugated Pluronic F-127 (Hep-F-127) was synthesized by a click reaction and then used to self-assemble the micelles with their hydrophobic cores loaded with CPT and hydrophilic shells complexed with G-CSF. By mixing α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) and CPT-loaded Hep-F-127 micelle/G-CSF complexes in an aqueous system, the supramolecular hydrogel/micelle composite with good injectability could be formed under mild conditions. For the co-encapsulated CPT and G-CSF, they could maintain their biological activity and exhibit a more prolonged release when compared to CPT-loaded Hep-F-127 micelles/G-CSF complexes. Moreover, the gelation properties and drug release profiles could by tuned by α-CD amount.

This study investigates the synergistic effect during the co-hydrogenation process of coal tar and biomass oil through experiments. By conducting hydrogenation experiments on model compounds of coal tar (naphthalene, tetrahydronaphthalene, decalin, and 9,10-phenanthrene) and waste soybean oil, it was found that partially saturated and fully saturated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons release active hydrogen atoms due to dehydrogenation at high temperatures. These active hydrogen atoms can promote the hydrogenation conversion of fatty acids derived from triglycerides in waste soybean oil during the co-hydrogenation process with coal tar. Through co-hydrogenation experiments of coal tar and waste soybean oil, it was discovered that when coal tar was first hydrogenated under conditions of temperature of 360 °C, pressure of 8 MPa, and LHSV (liquid hourly space velocity) of 0.4 h −1 , and then mixed with waste soybean oil (at a concentration of 30 g/100 mL) for hydrogenation under the conditions of temperature of 360 °C, pressure of 8 MPa, and LHSV of 0.4 h −1 , the deoxygenation conversion rate of fatty acids in the soybean oil is 94.5%. The hydrogenation deoxygenation conversion rate of the product in this process was 87.5% higher than that of individual fatty acids. This study indicates that the co-hydrogenation of hydrogenated coal tar and bio-oil promotes the deoxygenation conversion of bio-oil.

Hybridizing aqueous electrolytes with organic co-solvents can effectively expand the voltage window of aqueous electrolytes while reducing salt usage, but most reported co-solvents are usually flammable and toxic, hardly achieving compatibility between safety and electrochemical performance. Here, a new non-flammable and non-toxic low-salt-concentration (1.85 m) aqueous electrolyte is reported using the green co-solvent isosorbide dimethyl ether (IDE). Owing to its unique 3D molecular structure, IDE can form a five-membered ring structure by binding the Li ion. The steric hindrance effect from IDE weakens its solvation ability, generating anion-participated solvation structures that produce a robust and uniform LiF-rich solid electrolyte interphase layer while containing elastic IDE-derived organics. Moreover, the multiple O atoms in IDE can effectively regulate the intermolecular hydrogen bonding networks, reducing H 2 O molecule activity and expanding the electrochemical window. Such unique solvation structures and optimized hydrogen bonding networks enabled by IDE effectively suppress electrode/electrolyte interfacial side reactions, achieving a 4.3 V voltage window. The as-developed Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (LTO)||LiMn 2 O 4 (LMO) full cell delivers outstanding cycling performance over 450 cycles at 2 C. The proposed green hybrid aqueous electrolyte provides a new pathway for developing high-voltage aqueous lithium batteries.

A dramatic morphology evolution from cobalt nanoparticles to one-dimensional cobalt nanochains have been found by the introduction of CO in the synthesis process. The competitive adsorption between oleylamine (OAm) and CO molecules on cobalt surface was analyzed by DFT calculations. The competitive adsorption provides an effective way to regulate the surface properties of cobalt nanoaparticles, thus adjusting the interactions between cobalt nanoparticles and leading the self-assembly formation of cobalt nanochains. The novel one-dimensional cobalt nanochains show superior activity for CO hydrogenation, thus providing a powerful strategy for the surface and morphology controlled synthesis of catalyst nanomaterials assisted by small molecules.

A series of LiLaMo 2 O 8 :Eu 3+ , R (R = Bi 3+ and Sm 3+ ) phosphors are synthesized by a high temperature solid-state reaction method in air. The crystal structures, fluorescence lifetimes , and luminescence properties are investigated in detail. LiLaMo 2 O 8 :Eu 3+ phosphor with excitation 395 nm shows red light in the range of 525–725 nm and it photoluminescence intensity may be enhanced ∼2.35 times due to energy transfer (ET) from a sensitizing species (Bi 3+ or Sm 3+ ) to Eu 3+ ion after Bi 3+ or Sm 3+ ion is co-doped. The optimal Eu 3+ , Bi 3+ , and Sm 3+ ion concentrations are 4%. Luminous mechanism of LiLaMo 2 O 8 :Eu 3+ , R (R = Bi 3+ and Sm 3+ ) phosphors and ET processes between Eu 3+ and Bi 3+ /Sm 3+ ions are analyzed and explained by their excitation and emission spectra and energy level diagrams of Eu 3+ , Bi 3+ , and Sm 3+ ions. The experimental results indicate that LiLaMo 2 O 8 :Eu 3+ , R (R = Bi 3+ and Sm 3+ ) phosphors may be used as potenial red emitting materials for white light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on either a near ultraviolet (∼395 nm) or blue (∼465 nm) chip.

A considerable amount of works were focused on the formation mechanism of calcium ferrite phases during the iron ore sintering process, especially under various O2 content atmospheres at temperatures higher than 1100°C. But little attention has been paid on reactions between CaO and iron oxides in CO–CO2 atmospheres at lower temperatures. In this study, the solid state reaction mechanisms between CaO and Fe3O4 under CO–CO2 atmospheres at 800°C–1100°C were revealed by using XRD, VSM, etc. The results indicated that Ca2Fe2O5 was easily formed under 5–50 vol% CO/(CO+CO2) atmosphere above 850°C via the reaction of 6CaO + 2Fe3O4 +CO2 = 3Ca2Fe2O5 + CO and the reaction would be promoted with increasing the roasting temperature. In the CO–CO2 atmosphere, Fe3O4 is easily oxidized to Fe2O3 in the presence of CaO because CO2 components act as oxidative medium for the oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+.

The development of binary protein systems featuring superior nutritional properties and applied range is an interesting and challenging task in the food industry. In this study, the tilapia-soybean protein co-precipitates (TSPCs) with different mass ratios of tilapia meat and soybean meal were constructed. Results of physicochemical properties showed that the highest solubility and thermal stability values of TSPCs were 81.90 % and 90.30 °C, respectively. TSPCs have the full complement of amino acids and enhanced nutritional quality compared to tilapia protein isolate (TPI) and soybean protein isolate (SPI). TSPC 2:1 and TSPC 1:1 contained the highest levels of tryptophan, aspartic acid, glycine, histidine, and arginine relative to TPI and SPI. The in vitro protein digestibility and protein digestibility corrected amino acid scores of TSPCs were also higher than that of SPI. SDS-PAGE revealed that TSPCs contained protein subunits from TPI and SPI. Moreover, the lysine-to-arginine ratio and β subunit were greatly correlated with protein digestibility with correlation coefficients of −0.962 ( P < 0.01) and −0.971 ( P < 0.01), respectively. Compared to SPI, TSPCs displayed a lower lysine-to-arginine ratio and β-conglycinin content, which improved its digestibility. Proteomic analysis indicated that TSPC 1:1 had 989 unique proteins, which gives TSPCs enhanced biological properties compared to TPI and SPI, allowing them to participate in a broad range of biochemical metabolic and signal transduction pathways. The study would advance the utilization of mixed proteins toward exceptional food industry applications.

Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to high value-added chemicals and fuels has received widespread attention. However, the higher thermodynamic stability of CO2 greatly limits its conversion efficiency. Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) have been well-established to be very effective in CO2 activation. In this work, we prepared ZnIn2S4–AlOOH (ZIS–AlOOH) composites for visible-light-driven CO2 reduction. The Lewis basic OHv sites on the AlOOH surface (one H removed from OH) and an adjacent Lewis acidic unsaturated Al site (Al3+unsatur.) form the FLPs. The composite structure facilitated light absorption, CO2 adsorption activation, and separation of photogenerated carriers, thus improving the CO2 photoreduction activity (CO generation rate of 510.3 μmol g−1 h−1), and suppressing hydrogen evolution with the CO/H2 ratio increasing from 0.38 for ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) to 0.84 for ZIS–AlOOH. This work elucidates a rational strategy for the construction of efficient photocatalysts and provides insight into the mechanism of the photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction.

Microplastics (MPs) have attracted widespread attention because they can lead to combined toxicity by adsorbing heavy metals from the environment. Exposure to lead (Pb), a frequently adsorbed heavy metal by MPs, is common. In the current study, the coexistence of MPs and Pb was assessed in human samples. Then, mice were used as models to examine how co-exposure to MPs and Pb promotes aortic medial degeneration. The results showed that MPs and Pb co-exposure were detected in patients with aortic disease. In mice, MPs and Pb co-exposure promoted the damage of elastic fibers, loss of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and release of inflammatory factors. In vitro cell models revealed that co-exposure to MPs and Pb induced excessive reactive oxygen species generation, impaired mitochondrial function, and triggered PANoptosome assembly in VSMCs. These events led to PANoptosis and inflammation through the cAMP/PKA-ROS signaling pathway. However, the use of the PKA activator 8-Br-cAMP or mitochondrial ROS scavenger Mito-TEMPO improved, mitochondrial function in VSMCs, reduced cell death, and inhibited inflammatory factor release. Taken together, the present study provided novel insights into the combined toxicity of MPs and Pb co-exposure on the aorta. Environmental Implication Microplastics (MPs) and Lead (Pb) are pervasive in the environment, yet studies on the cardiovascular toxicity of MPs and Pb co-exposure remain scarce. This research investigates the effects of MPs and Pb co-exposure on aortic medial degeneration (AMD). The findings reveal the presence of MPs and Pb exposure in patients. Co-exposure to MPs and Pb accelerates AMD in the mice. Further experiments confirm that co-exposure to MPs and Pb affects vascular smooth muscle cell activity and inflammation by regulating the cAMP/PKA pathway and mitochondrial function. Our study offers new insights into the synergistic toxic mechanisms of MPs and Pb.
