In this report, doping concentration-dependent photoluminescence (PL) properties of Mn-doped ternary Zn–In–S quantum dots (QDs) were studied by using steady-state and time-resolved PL spectroscopy. The QDs PL was firstly significantly intensified with the increasing Mn doping concentration and then decreased after the doping concentration increased up to 7.5 at.%. However, their decay lifetimes exhibit a monotone decrease with Mn doping concentration ranged from 0 to 10 at.%. It can be concluded that the PL intensity was mainly determined by two factors: one was the increased efficiency of energy transfer from host excitons to Mn 2+ ion accepter, and the other was the decreased efficiency of the emission from a Mn 2+ ion, which was caused by the increased component of exposed Mn 2+ ions on QDs surface and the accelerated interaction between adjacent dopants. The competition of above two exciton relaxation dynamics processes determined the trend of the PL intensity, while the latter was responsible for the monotonously decreased lifetime of the Mn 2+ ion emission with the increasing Mn doping concentration.

Gradient Mn-La-Pt catalysts with three-layered structure of manganese dioxide (MnO 2 ), lanthanum oxide (La 2 O 3 ), and Platinum (Pt) for Li-O 2 battery are prepared in this study. The mass ratio of the catalysts is respectively 5:2:3, 4:2:4, and 3:2:5 (MnO 2 : La 2 O 3 : Pt) which is start from the side of the electrolyte. The relationship between morphology structure and electrochemical performance of gradient catalyst is investigated by energy dispersive spectrometry and constant current charge/discharge test. The Li-O 2 battery based on gradient Mn-La-Pt catalysts shows high discharge specific capacity (2707 mAh g −1 ), specific energy density (8400 Wh kg −1 ) and long cycle life (56 cycles). The improvement of the Li-O 2 battery discharge capacity is attributed to the gradient distribution of MnO 2 and Pt and the involvement of La 2 O 3 that can improve the energy density of the battery. More important, this work will also provide new ideas and methods for the research of other metal-air battery.

Daminozide (B9) is a growth inhibitor with important regulatory roles in plant growth and development. Locating and quantifying B9-binding proteins in plant tissues will assist in investigating the mechanism behind the signal transduction of B9. In this study, red fluorescent Mn-doped CdTe quantum dots (CdTeMn QDs) were synthesized by a high-temperature hydrothermal process. Since CdTeMn QDs possess a maximum fluorescence emission peak at 610 nm, their fluorescence properties are more stable than those of CdTe QDs. A B9-CdTeMn probe was synthesized by coupling B9 with CdTeMn QDs. The fluorescence intensity of the probe is double that of CdTeMn QDs; its fluorescence stability is also superior under different ambient conditions. The probe retains the biological activity of B9 and is unaffected by interference from the green fluorescent protein present in plants. Therefore, we used this probe to label B9-binding proteins selectively in root tissue sections of mung bean seedlings. These proteins were observed predominantly on the surfaces of the cell membranes of the cortex and epidermal parenchyma.

Transition metal mixed oxides of Mn and Cr with the nominal compositional formula Mn x Cr 1 − x O 1.5 ( x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0) were obtained by the thermal decomposition method. The powders were analyzed by SEM (scanning electron microscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction) and XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). The electrochemical properties of the Mn x Cr 1 − x O 1.5 electrodes for the OER (oxygen evolution reaction) in alkaline solution were evaluated by LSV (linear sweep voltammetry), staircase voltammetry and chronoamperometry . The results indicated that the mixed oxides were solid solutions of Mn 2 O 3 (bixbyite) and Cr 2 O 3 (eskolaite), and when x = 0.2, the catalyst had better catalytic activity in the OER process than did that of single Mn 2 O 3 and Cr 2 O 3 . At the high potential region (1.0 V vs Ag/AgCl), the current density of the Mn 0.2 Cr 0.8 O 1.5 electrode was ~ 80 times higher than that of Mn 2 O 3 and ~ 9 times higher than Cr 2 O 3 , and its overpotential ( η = 367.3 mV at a current density of 1.0 mA·cm − 2 ) was considerably lower than that of single Mn 2 O 3 ( η = 996.5 mV) and Cr 2 O 3 ( η = 648.5 mV) catalysts and was comparable to the precious metal oxide IrO x . The stability testing indicated that the mixed oxides had good stabilities in strong alkaline solution during the OER process.

Dielectric capacitors are essential in advanced electronics and power systems due to their high power density and fast charge–discharge rates. However, their application is limited by their low energy storage density and efficiency. Aurivillius-phase ferroelectrics have shown promise as energy storage materials, but their low polarization and significant hysteresis remain critical challenges. In this study, we present a simple and cost-effective defect-engineering strategy to enhance the energy storage performance of SrBi5Ti4FeO18 thin film through Mn doping. Mn incorporation suppresses oxygen vacancy formation and induces tensile chemical stress in the lattice, which simultaneously enhances maximum polarization and reduces the hysteresis. Additionally, the reduction in oxygen vacancies promotes grain refinement, reduces leakage current, and significantly enhances the breakdown strength. The optimized SrBi5Ti3.91Mn0.09FeO18 thin film achieves an ultrahigh energy storage density of 105 J/cm3 with improved efficiency of 70% at 3569 kV/cm. Moreover, it demonstrates good frequency stability (100 Hz to 10 kHz), thermal stability (20–160 °C), and fatigue endurance over 105 cycles. This work provides a feasible method for developing advanced dielectric capacitors with high energy storage performance by the rational design and precise control of defects.

In nature, active Mn 3+ –ligand complexes produced by laccase catalyzed oxidation can act as the low-molecular mass, diffusible redox mediators to oxidize the phenolic substrates overcoming the limitations of natural enzymes. Learning from the metal–ligand coordination of natural functional units, high-valence Mn metal–organic framework (Mn MOF) is constructed to simulate the catalysis in natural mediator system. Benefiting from the characteristics of nanoscale size, rich metal coordination unsaturated sites, and mixed valence state dominated by Mn(III), Nano Mn(III)-TP exhibits superior laccase-mimicking activity, whose V max (maximal reaction rate) is much higher than that of natural laccase. Referring to natural systems, relevant free radical experiments prove that the material induces the production of active oxygen species with the assistance of carboxylic acid, and active oxygen species further oxidize phenolic substrates. Based on its robust performances, the primary oxidative degradation of an emerging pollutant triclosan (TCS) is creatively applied, an important antiasthmatic medicine terbutaline sulfate (TBT) detection, and the synthesis of non-toxic and black near-natural dyes for dyeing. By simulating the essential mediators of natural enzymatic catalysis, an Mn MOF-based material that demonstrates multiple novel applications is successfully developed, which introduces a new reliable strategy for achieving versatile nature-mimicking catalysis.

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a new method for cancer treatment that produces highly toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the tumor microenvironment to induce cancer cell apoptosis or necrosis. However, the therapeutic effect of CDT is often hindered by intracellular H2O2 deficiency and the activity of antioxidants such as glutathione (GSH). In this study, a nano-catalyst HCM was developed using a self-assembled Cu/Mn-doped metal-organic framework, and its surface was modified with hyaluronic acid to construct a tumor-targeting CDT therapeutic agent with improved the efficiency and specificity. Three substances HHTP (2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11-hexahydroxybenzophenanthrene), Cu2+, and Mn2+ were shown to be decomposed and released under weakly acidic conditions in tumor cells. HHTP produces exogenous H2O2 in the presence of oxygen to increase the H2O2 content in tumors, Cu2+ reduces GSH content and generates Cu+ in the tumor, and Cu+ and Mn2+ catalyze H2O2 to produce OH in a Fenton-like reaction. Together, these three factors change the tumor microenvironment and improve the efficiency of ROS production. HCM showed selective and efficient cytotoxicity to cancer cells, and could effectively inhibit tumor growth in vivo, indicating a good CDT effect.

MOFs (metal–organic frameworks) have large specific surface area, abundant active sites, and tunable pore structures, making them highly attractive anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. However, their inadequate electrical conductivity and rate performance greatly hinder the further applications of MOFs in field of energy storage. In this study, we present a robust Mn-MOF/HA (humic acid) composite anode material with multilayer nano-sheet structures, synthesized via in-situ compositing HA with Mn-MOF in general hydrothermal reaction. The Mn-MOF derived from hydrothermal reaction shows poor electrochemical stability and low electrical conductivity. The incorporation of HA notably elevates electrochemical stability of materials, boosts both electrical and lithium-ion conductivity, and also modulates the microstructure to form ultrathin multilayer nanosheets by rationally adjusting the feed ratio of HA. The resulting HA 20 -Mn-MOF (with a HA feed ratio of 20 %) demonstrates significant improvements in cycling stability and rate performance, with a reversible specific capacity of 1318.7mAh/g at 0.1 A/g after 100 cycles and a substantial capacity of 657.0mAh/g even after 1000 cycles at 1 A/g. An extraordinary V-shaped capacity reversal is observed for HA 20 -Mn-MOF during cycling. Ex-situ EPR (Electron Paramagnetic Resonance) investigation reveals this capacity growth is associated with the reoxidation of active manganese during cycling, in which a notable correlation between the specific capacity and the Mn 2+ signal intensity in EPR spectra is found. These results suggest in-situ compositing HA with MOFs can be a cost-effective strategy in regulating MOFs morphology and in achieving an optimized electrochemical performance for MOFs-based electrode materials in energy storage field.

Electrocoagulation (EC) is a facile technique for removing arsenic (As) pollutants from different water matrices with high efficiency. In this work, a novel strategy of Mn-assisted Fe EC was developed to further enhance the removal efficiency of arsenite [As(III)] from wastewater. When 1 mM of MnCl 2 was added to an Fe-EC system, the As removal efficiency reached 99.99%, and the residual concentration was only 9 μg/L, which is lower than the World Health Organization’s limit for drinking water . The characteristics of the generated flocs by four different EC processes in Fe, Fe-Mn, Fe-As, and Fe-Mn-As systems were investigated. The results showed that Mn 2+ promoted the formation of FeOOH, FeO x , MnO x , FeHAsO 4 , and MnHAsO 4 through low crystallinity and a high surface area . Density functional theory simulation and crystal orbital hamiltonian population confirmed that the generated Fe-Mn flocs had a greater adsorption affinity for As(III) and arsenate [As(V)]. The possible reactions in the EC processes and reaction mechanisms were also hypothesised. The current work provides meaningful insights into understanding the mechanisms of Mn-assisted Fe-EC systems, and further confirms its potential for practical applications in As pollution treatment.

NaNbO3-based ferroelectric composites are regarded as a highly promising typical energy storage material. In this work, 0.02xMnO2−(1−x)NaNbO3−xBi0.5Na0.5TiO3composites were prepared by the solid-state sintering method and their microstructure, energy storage performance, and temperature stability were analyzed. As observed by the SEM images, the addition of Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3to NaNbO3in appropriate amounts can effectively suppress grain growth, which is beneficial for improving the breakdown field strength. Whenx= 0.3, an optimal value of 210 kV/cm is achieved. Meanwhile, as 2θ = 33.2°, the most intense XRD peak can be observed, indicating excellent solid solubility between the phase components. Consequently, 0.006MnO2–0.7NaNbO3–0.3Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3composites demonstrated an impressive discharging storage density of 2.464 J/cm3and a considerable energy storage efficiency of 85.8%. In addition, within the temperature range of 30–80 °C, the fluctuation in energy storage density remains below 10%. All the above performances indicate that this type of material exhibits excellent practicality in the field of pulse power supply.

Graphical In the study, Mn-functionalized ZIF-67 (Mn@ZIF-67) hybrid material was synthesized using a post-synthesis modification method. Its oxidase-like catalytic activity effect enabled this material to directly oxidize colorless TMB into blue oxTMB without the presence of H 2 O 2 . This color change provided a means for the detection of Art and AA. The work also demonstrated the practical application of this method in analyzing real samples containing AA or Art. Artemisinin (Art) is the first-choice medicine for treating malaria. It also shows good therapeutic effects in antibacterial and antitumor treatment. Therefore, a simple and efficient method for detecting Art is of great significance. Mn-functionalized ZIF-67 (Mn@ZIF-67) hybrid materials were synthesized using a post-synthesis modification method. Due to the introduction of Mn 2+ , Mn@ZIF-67 possesses higher peroxidase/oxidase like dual-mimic enzymes activity than ZIF-67, which can catalyze Art and generate peroxyl radicals. Based on this fact, Mn@ZIF-67 was used to detect Art in the presence of TMB. A good linear relationship between absorption intensities at 652 nm and Art concentrations was obtained in the range of 0–22 μM with a detection limit of 200 nM. Ascorbic acid (AA), due to its reducibility, can inhibit peroxidase/oxidase mimetics activity of Mn@ZIF-67 and the blue Mn@ZIF-67-TMB solution fades gradually with the addition of AA. Mn@ZIF-67-TMB acting as a colorimetric sensor, AA can be sensitively detected ranging from 0–30 μM, and the detection limit is 50 nM. Coexisting substances don't interfere with the detection of Art or AA. This sensing platform provides a highly sensitive and selective colorimetric method for monitoring AA and Art in serum, thereby demonstrating remarkable practicality.

The practical application of Li-rich Mn-based oxide cathode is predominately retarded by the capacity decline and voltage fading, associated with the structure distortion and anionic redox reactions. Here, a linkage-functionalized modification approach to tackle these challenges via a synchronous lithium oxidation strategy is reported. The doping of Ce in the bulk phase activates the pseudo-bonding effect, effectively stabilizing the lattice oxygen evolution and suppressing the structure distortion. Interestingly, it also induces the formation of spinel phase Li 4 Mn 5 O 12 in the subsurface, which in turn constructs the phase boundaries, thereby arousing the interior self-built-in electric field to prevent the outward migration of bulk oxygen anions and boost the charge transfer. Moreover, the formed coating layer Li 2 CeO 3 with oxygen vacancies accelerates Li + diffusion and mitigates electrolyte cauterization. The corresponding cathode exhibits superior long-cycle stability after 300 cycles with only a 0.013% capacity drop and 1.76 mV voltage decay per cycle. This work sheds new light on the development of Li-rich Mn-based oxide cathodes toward high energy density applications.
