Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have been extensively researched as fluorescent probes, but there are few reports on fluorescence-enhanced probes. Herein, nitrogen and sulfur co-doped CQDs (N, S-CQDs) with blue aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) fluorescence were synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal reaction. N, S-CQDs can rely on the presence of –OH, C=O, –NH2, and ether bonds on their surfaces and the formation of hydrogen bonds by ciprofloxacin (CIP) containing Ar-F and –COOH functional groups to achieve effective charge transfer. In addition, CIP forces N, S-CQDs to aggregate to form cross-linked structures, which effectively limits the vibration and rotation of N, S-CQDs, leading to enhanced fluorescence of N, S-CQDs. Based on the above intermolecular charge transfer and AIEE between N, S-CQDs and CIP, an efficient and sensitive nano fluorescent probe for the detection of CIP in real water samples was developed, which can achieve sensitive detection of 3.33 × 10−8–1.13 × 10−6 M CIP.

N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) is a powerful green nitrogen-containing free radical catalyst, while the leaching of homogeneous NHPI remains a crucial obstacle. Herein, the cobalt-based metal–organic frameworks (Co-based MOFs) were introduced as the supports and co-catalysts to successfully confine the NHPI catalyst. NH 3 -TPD characterization confirmed that the heterogeneous catalyst NHPI@Co-MOF containing carboxyl groups linker exhibits more assertive acidity, facilitating the activation of O 2 to generate active radicals O 2 •− that determined the catalytic activity . Owing to these features, NHPI@Co-MOF-DA with two carboxyl groups as the linker achieved 98 % of DBT conversion at 120 °C. Moreover, the DBT conversion of the used catalyst reached 95 % after being recycled 10 times. The distinctive design strategy provided valuable insights into the selection of suitable organic linkers to enhance the synergistic effect of metal cobalt with NHPI in the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) process, broadening the research horizon of MOF hybrids in the construction of efficient ODS applications.

Organic dyes pollution (especially methylene blue) in wastewater has seriously affected the livelihood and health of human beings. To address this issue, in this study, loess-based N-doped TiO 2 (NTiO 2 @ALS) photocatalysts were fabricated through in situ deposition of N-doped TiO 2 (NTiO 2 ) nanoparticles on the surface of acidified loess (ALS) particles by sol-gel method. The characterization was performed by XRF, SEM, FT-IR, XRD, XPS, UV–Vis DRS and BET, and small nanoparticles of NTiO 2 were found to be perfectly bound to the surface of the ALS particles. In addition, what factors affecting the photocatalytic activity were explored and it was found that calcination at 450 °C for 2 h was the best condition, under which the samples possessed the highest degradation efficiency under visible light irradiation. Furthermore, NTiO 2 @ALS was applied to the degradation of methylene blue (MB) and the mechanism of pre-adsorption and photocatalytic degradation was also investigated. Surprisingly, methylene blue (MB) could be degraded by 99.6% post pre-adsorption. This excellent result was attributed to the existence of dual coordination between catalytic active center (NTiO 2 ) and support (ALS) in NTiO 2 @ALS. Most significantly, the introduced ALS particles achieved the effective dispersion of small NTiO 2 nanoparticles and increased the specific surface area of materials, which greatly improved photocatalytic performance and adsorption properties. In brief, NTiO 2 @ALS holds promising application potential for the removal and degradation of organic dyes from wastewater.

In this study, a plasmonic p–n heterojunction Ag@Ag 2 O–BiVO 4 photocatalyst was successfully prepared by a simple chemical precipitation-reduction process. The obtained samples were tested by various measurements and the photocatalytic behavior in the decomposition of tetracycline (TC) under irradiation with visible light was studied. The photodegradation study exhibits that Ag@Ag 2 O–BiVO 4 has the optimum activity and can efficiently degrade 83.52% of TC in 60 min by irradiation with visible light. Furthermore, the Ag@Ag 2 O–BiVO 4 exhibited more pronounced visible light absorption and the best performances than the BiVO 4 and Ag 2 O–BiVO 4 , which was mainly due to the LSPR of plasmonic Ag. The experimental radical trapping proved that the active species of the photocatalytic process act in the following order: ·O 2 − > h + > · OH. To find intermediates, the possible TC degradation pathways via HPLC–MS were also investigated. This research provides a successful method to develop a plasmonic photocatalyst with p–n heterojunction for wastewater treatment.

The poor activity and specificity of nanozymes limit their applications in many fields owing to their low density of active sites, inhomogeneous atomic composition, and complex structure. To overcome these issues, a single iron-anchored carbon material, Fe/CN-800-A, with FeN2 sites has been fabricated, which exhibited exclusive oxidase-like activity. The mechanisms of N-coordination-number-regulated enzymatic activity and specificity of the composite were also explored to elaborate the working principle. The FeN2 sites in Fe/CN-800-A exhibited higher oxidase-like activity and specificity than the FeN4 sites in Fe/CN-700, owing to their lower energy barriers for O2 absorption and the decomposition of H2O2 into O2. These findings provide a theoretical basis for the rational design of nanozymes with high oxidase-like activity and specificity. The fabricated nanocomposites have commercial potential for effective chlorpyrifos detection and antibacterial applications due to their unique structural traits and high efficiency.

Carbon material is considered a promising electrocatalyst for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR); especially, N-doped carbon material shows high CO Faradic efficiency (FECO) when using pyridinic N species as the active site. However, in the past decade, more efforts were focused on the preparation of various carbon nanostructures containing abundant pyridinic N species and few researchers studied the electronic structure modulation of the pyridinic N site. The curvature of the carbon substrate is an easily controllable parameter for modulating the local electronic environment of catalytic sites. In this research, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with different diameters are applied to modulate the electronic environment of pyridinic N by the curvature effect. The pyridinic N sites doped on CNTs with the average curvature of 0.04 show almost 100% FECO at the current density of 3 mA cm–2 at −0.6 V vs RHE and 91% FECO retention after 12 h test, which is superior to most of the carbon-based electrocatalysts. As demonstrated by density functional theory simulation, the pyridinic N site forms a strong local electric field around the nearby C active site and protrudes out of the curved CNT surface like a tip, which remarkably enriches the protons around the adsorbed CO2 molecule.

Rational design and fabrication of catalysts with excellent efficiency, high selectivity and outstanding stability is of great significance for the practical application of formic acid dehydrogenation into hydrogen gas. Herein, Pd catalysts with a narrow size distribution around 2.2 nm are deposited on the porous chitosan microspheres, which are produced by the polycondensation with Schiff base linkage. The Pd–N bond configuration is formed upon the abundant amino-group on the chitosan backbone with the surface anchoring Pd nanocluster. The surface charge is redistributed to generate high-valence Pd δ+ species due to the ligand-to-metal charge transfer between Pd and N, thus greatly improving the catalytic performance of formic acid dehydrogenation at room temperature and maintaining outstanding stability during 15 consecutive reaction cycles. The present work paves the way to the rational synthesis of Pd-based catalysts with tunable electronic states for practical purposes.

Among all designated microwave absorbers, the combination of magnetic metal with carbon nanomaterials has been considered as one of the most effective ways for the absorption of electromagnetic wave (EMW). The incorporation of doped magnetic metal nanoparticles (NPs) with carbon nanomaterials provides excellent magnetic loss. Additionally, carbon matrix possesses tunable dielectric properties and designable microstructure which could further improving the performance of the EMW absorption. Herein, N-doped carbon nanofibers doped with CoNiSe 2 NPs was fabricated by electrospinning, carbonization and selenization process using for the EMW absorbers. The lowest reflection loss (RL) of −47.7 dB at the thickness of 2.1 mm while an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 7.12 GHz at the thickness of 2.4 mm was achieved. The enhanced EMW attenuating properties can be attributed to the multiple EMW reflections, interfacial polarization between the fibers and magnetic loss facilitated by CoNiSe 2 NPs. This work provides a promising strategy for introducing multiple components to improve the EMW absorbing properties and can be potentially extended to the fabrication of other functional anti-electromagnetic materials.

The photothermal conversion capacity of pristine organic phase change materials (PCMs) is inherently insufficient in solar energy utilization. To upgrade their photothermal conversion capacity, we developed bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) derived Co/N co-doped flower-like carbon (Co/N-FLC)-based composite PCMs toward solar energy harvesting. 3D interconnected carbon framework with low interfacial thermal resistance, abundant carbon defects and high content of nitrogen doping, excellent localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of Co nanoparticles, and light absorber Co 3 ZnC in Co/N-FLC synergistically upgrade the photothermal capacity of (polyethylene glycol) PEG@Co/N-FLC composite PCMs with an ultrahigh photothermal conversion efficiency of 94.8% under 0.16 W/cm 2 . Uniformly anchored Co and Co 3 ZnC nanoparticles in carbon framework guarantee excellent photon capture ability. Bridging carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in 2D carbon nanosheets further accelerate the rapid transport of phonons by constructing cross-connected heat transfer paths. Additionally, PEG@Co/N-FLC exhibits a thermal energy storage density of 100.69 J/g and excellent thermal stability and durable reliability. Therefore, PEG@Co/N-FLC composite PCMs are promising candidates to accelerate the efficient utilization of solar energy.

Demands for highly deformable and responsive intelligent actuators are increasing rapidly. Herein, a photothermal bilayer actuator consisting of a photothermal-responsive composite hydrogel layer and a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer is presented. The photothermal-responsive composite hydrogel is prepared by compositing hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and the photothermal material graphene oxide (GO) with the thermal-responsive hydrogel poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM). The HEMA improves the transport efficiency of water molecules inside the hydrogel network, eliciting a fast response and large deformation, facilitating greater bending behavior of the bilayer actuator, and improving the mechanical and tensile properties of the hydrogel. Moreover, GO enhances the mechanical properties and the photothermal conversion efficiency of the hydrogel in the thermal environment. This photothermal bilayer actuator can be driven under various conditions, such as hot solution, simulated sunlight, and laser, and can achieve large bending deformation with desirable tensile properties, broadening the application conditions for bilayer actuators, such as artificial muscles, bionic actuators, and soft robotics.

Background Dental follicle stem cells (DFSCs) show mesenchymal stem cell properties with the potential for alveolar bone regeneration. Stem cell properties can be impaired by reactive oxygen species (ROS), prompting us to examine the importance of scavenging ROS for stem cell-based tissue regeneration. This study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a promising antioxidant, on the properties of DFSCs and DFSC-based alveolar bone regeneration.Methods DFSCs were cultured in media supplemented with different concentrations of NAC (0–10 mM). Cytologic experiments, RNA-sequencing and antioxidant assays were performed in vitro in human DFSCs (hDFSCs). Rat maxillary first molar extraction models were constructed, histological and radiological examinations were performed at day 7 post-surgery to investigate alveolar bone regeneration in tooth extraction sockets after local transplantation of NAC, rat DFSCs (rDFSCs) or NAC-treated rDFSCs.Results 5 mM NAC-treated hDFSCs exhibited better proliferation, less senescent rate, higher stem cell-specific marker and immune-related factor expression with the strongest osteogenic differentiation; other concentrations were also beneficial for maintaining stem cell properties. RNA-sequencing identified 803 differentially expressed genes between hDFSCs with and without 5 mM NAC. “Developmental process (GO:0032502)” was prominent, bioinformatic analysis of 394 involved genes revealed functional and pathway enrichment of ossification and PI3K/AKT pathway, respectively. Furthermore, after NAC treatment, the reduction of ROS levels (ROS, superoxide, hydrogen peroxide), the induction of antioxidant levels (glutathione, catalase, superoxide dismutase), the upregulation of PI3K/AKT signaling (PI3K-p110, PI3K-p85, AKT, phosphorylated-PI3K-p85, phosphorylated-AKT) and the rebound of ROS level upon PI3K/AKT inhibition were showed. Local transplantation of NAC, rDFSCs or NAC-treated rDFSCs was safe and promoted oral socket bone formation after tooth extraction, with application of NAC-treated rDFSCs possessing the best effect.Conclusion sThe proper concentration of NAC enhances DFSC properties, especially osteogenesis, via PI3K/AKT/ROS signaling, and offers clinical potential for stem cell-based alveolar bone regeneration.

Engineering unsymmetrical coordination is an efficient strategy for improving the performance of carbon supported single-atom catalysts for diverse applications. However, the exploration of this strategy to prepare carbon supported single-atom catalysts for hydrogenation reaction is still in infancy, especially for hydrogenation of quinolines. Herein, we report a protein-metal-ion-network strategy for preparation of single-atom cobalt supported on hierarchically porous carbon (SA-Co/NSPC). SA-Co/NSPC features unsymmetrically N/S-coordinated metal center, i.e., Co 1 –N 3 S 1 . Moreover, the carbon matrices possess an ultra-thin two-dimensional morphology and hierarchically porous structures. SA-Co/NSPC catalyst with Co 1 –N 3 S 1 active site exhibits excellent catalytic performance for hydrogenation of N-heterocycles. The DFT calculation results show that the site of Co 1 –N 3 S 1 reveals a significant electron redistribution in comparison to the Co 1 –N 4 , leading to a lower H* diffusion barrier and quinoline hydrogenation reaction barrier. SA-Co/NSPC catalyst combined with the unique hierarchically porous structure and high active Co 1 –N 3 S 1 owns extraordinary catalytic performance for hydrogenation of quinolines.
