A novel substitute for perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), 6:2 Chlorinated polyfluoroalkyl ether acid (6:2 Cl-PFAES, F-53B), has been widely used in the electroplating and firefighting industries, raising concerns due to increasing environmental prevalence. This study systematically investigated the adsorption characteristics of F-53B by coconut shell activated carbon (CSAC) and elucidated the underlying mechanisms through adsorption kinetics, isotherm modeling, and multi-scale characterization. Results show that the maximum adsorption capacity of CSAC for F-53B reached 261.64 mg/g, with the process best described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R 2 > 0.97) and the Langmuir isotherm (R 2 > 0.94). Intraparticle diffusion modeling revealed a three-stage adsorption sequence: surface adsorption (0–2 h), pore diffusion (2–8 h), and dynamic equilibrium (8–48 h). Solution pH influenced adsorption efficiency by regulating surface charge. Under acidic conditions (pH < point of zero charge, pHzpc = 4.49), strong electrostatic interactions between protonated CSAC surfaces and anionic F-53B resulted in an 85% removal efficiency. In contrast, alkaline conditions (pH > 7) led to a 70% reduction in adsorption efficiency ( p < 0.05) due to electric repulsion. The microporous-dominated structure of CSAC (specific surface area: 857.69 m 2 /g; pore volume: 0.34 cm 3 /g) facilitated synergistic adsorption mechanisms. Oxygen-containing functional groups (C-O, -OH) promoted hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions, enhancing F-53B adsorption. Besides, CSAC is optimized for emergency scenarios, it achieves 99.9% removal efficiency for 1 mg/L F-53B within 8 h at room temperature, with a maximum capacity of 261.64 mg/g; also, it maintains > 85% removal efficiency under wide pH conditions and tolerates coexisting ions (e.g., Cl − , SO 4 2− , Ca 2+ ).This study highlights the multi-mechanistic synergy of CSAC in theremoval of F-53B, providing theoretical foundations and technical insights for biochar-based remediation of emerging contaminants.

Fluorescent fiber is widely used for anti-counterfeiting purposes due to its unique security features and ease of identification worldwide. In this study, polychromatic fluorescent fiber using bleached softwood fiber (F) combined with AgInZnS quantum dots (AIZS QDs) was successfully prepared through a one-step hydrothermal method. The photoluminescence (PL) of AIZS@F could be adjusted from green to red by varying the molar ratio of Ag + /Zn 2+ /S 2− /In 3+ . Increasing the molar ratio of Ag + /In 3+ led to a redshift in peak emission wavelength, increasing Zn 2+ /In 3+ or S 2− /In 3+ resulted in a blueshift in PL wavelength. Furthermore, AIZS QDs were synthesized both on the surface and inside of the fluorescent fiber, and the mild hydrothermal condition did not cause significant damage to the structure of the fiber. Additionally, due to the inherent microporous structure of natural plant fiber, AIZS QDs could still be steadily loaded into the fiber after intense mechanical stirring. AIZS@F exhibited excellent fluorescent performance although the total loading amount was merely 0.457%. This stable, polychromatic, hydrophilic and degradable fluorescent fiber has great potential for anti-counterfeiting applications.

Wood is a widely used carbon-storing material, but its applications are constrained by vulnerabilities to water, oil and fire. Existing coatings have limited functionalities, failing to meet the intelligent requirements of modern wood products and constructions. Inspired by bionics, a robust superamphiphobic fire sensing EP/F-POS@Fe3O4 coating was designed on wood substrate, fabricated from functional ferroferric oxide (Fe3O4) particles, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS, hydrolyzed into polysiloxane), 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltrimethoxysilane (PFDTMS), and epoxy resin (EP) adhesive. Optimizing the EP content not only enhances coating stability but also engineers surface micronano reentrant structures, endowing the wood with excellent superamphiphobicity (water/oil contact angles >150°). The EP/F-POS@Fe3O4 coating maintains robust hydrophobic and oleophobic properties under sandpaper abrasion, tape peeling, glass bead impact, and knife scratching tests. At the same time, the coating’s effectiveness in reducing the wood’s liquid absorption further confirms its stable water/oil repellency. Importantly, beyond passive flame retardancy, the EP/F-POS@Fe3O4 coating features a breakthrough active fire alarm function: nonconductive under ambient conditions, it acts as a sensor upon flame exposure, exhibiting ultrafast (∼3 s) intelligent visual alarm response and excellent repeatability (>10 cycles), holding potential to mitigate fire risks. Obviously, the EP/F-POS@Fe3O4 coating shows great promise for future applications in wooden architecture and smart furniture.

Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and its alternative 6:2 chlorinated polyfluoroethersulfonate (6:2 Cl-PFESA, also known as F-53B), are frequently detected in a variety of environmental and human samples. These substances have been associated with hepatotoxic effects, including disorders in lipid metabolism and oxidative stress. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the causal relationship between exposure to F-53B and hepatotoxicity remain inadequately understood. This study investigated the toxicokinetics and mechanisms of hepatotoxicity associated with prolonged exposure to F-53B in adult Chinese rare minnows. Specifically, 5-month-old adult Chinese rare minnow was exposed to concentrations of 10 μg/L and 200 μg/L of F-53B for a duration of 28 days for bioaccumulation assessment, followed by a 14-day period for metabolic evaluation. The findings indicated that the bioaccumulation of F-53B in the tissues was positively correlated with the exposure concentrations. The logarithmic bioconcentration factor (Log BCF28d) was determined to be 2.67 ± 0.02 for the low concentration group and 2.27 ± 0.01 for the high concentration group. The calculated half-lives (t 1/2 ) were 18.50 ± 1.67 days and 21.38 ± 0.31 days for the respective concentration groups. F-53B protein exhibited a distinct tissue-specific distribution in adult Chinese rare minnow, with the following order of enrichment: Blood > Liver > Gonad > Gill > Intestine > Brain > Muscle. F-53B was primarily concentrated in the blood and liver, where the protein content was significantly higher. Exposure to F-53B for 28 days significantly elevated biochemical levels associated with lipid metabolism and increased the activities of the enzymes FAS, PPARα, and ACC in the liver. This exposure also resulted in impairment of the hepatic oxidative system in the Chinese rare minnow, with F-53B significantly reducing most of the measured markers related to oxidative stress (e.g., GSH, SOD, CAT, and MDA). Proteomic analysis indicated that the toxicity of F-53B regulates the expression of proteins across several functional classes. Based on the functional information of the differential proteins provided in UniProt and KEGG, they were categorized into five main categories: Cellular Processes, Environmental Information Processing, Genetic Information Processing, Metabolism, and Organismal Systems. This study indicate that F-53B is bioaccumulative and persistent in Chinese rare minnow, and can further induce oxidative stress and lipid metabolism disorders. Combined with proteomic research methods, the toxicological effects of F-53B on Chinese rare minnow can be better explained.

The T-2 and HT-2 toxins, the main metabolites of Fusarium poae , induce toxicity in broilers and accumulate in tissues. Consequently, during the breeding process of broilers, diets are frequently supplemented with physical adsorbents to protect birds against the toxicity induced by mycotoxins. In the present research, T-2 and HT-2 were produced in maize inoculated with F. poae . Mont, the strongest adsorbent based on in vitro adsorption ratios, was added to the contaminated diet. One-day-old chickens were randomly and equally divided into the following four groups: control diet group, Mont supplemented diet group, contaminated diet group and detoxification diet group. The experiment lasted for 42 days. Compared to the control group, the contaminated group showed significant decrease in body weight, feed intake and TP ( P < 0.05), and marked increase in FCR, ALP, AST and ALT activity, T-2/HT-2 residues in the tissues and the relative expressions of apoptosis-related mRNAs ( P < 0.05). Mont supplementation provided protection for the treated broilers in terms of performance, blood biochemistry, hepatic function, T-2/HT-2 residue of tissues and apoptosis. Therefore, Mont may be suitable as a detoxification agent for T-2/HT-2 in feed for broilers.

In this work, we present a targeted design strategy that combines Group IIIA metal cation and fluorine anion to simultaneously enhance the band gap and birefringence in selenite-based system. Three new ultraviolet (UV) transparent selenite fluorides, SrAl(SeO3)F3 (1), BaAl(SeO3)F3(H2O)0.25 (2), and ZnGa(SeO3)2F (3), were successfully synthesized under mild hydrothermal conditions. Remarkably, all three compounds exhibit wide band gaps as well as large birefringence. In particular, ZnGa(SeO3)2F (3) demonstrates a pronounced birefringence value of 0.176 at 546 nm, representing the highest birefringence reported among all known selenites with a band gap above 5.0 eV. Theoretical investigations indicate that the strong optical anisotropy is predominantly attributed to the stereochemically active lone-pair electrons of Se(IV) cations. The [Zn2O8] dimers and the infinite [GaO4F]∞ chains in ZnGa(SeO3)2F (3) crucially facilitate the optimal spatial arrangement of [SeO3] groups. This study expands the structural diversity of selenite fluorides and provides an effective pathway for designing high-performance birefringent crystals suitable for UV applications.

The dehydrofluorination of 1,1-difluoroethane (R152a) is a Lewis acid–catalyzed reaction in which both catalytic activity and stability are governed by the coordination and acidity of aluminum sites. In this work, a mechanochemical fluorination strategy was developed to construct a partially fluorinated Al-based catalyst with tunable acid properties. By controlling the fluorine-aluminum ratio during ball milling, the in situ formation of AlF 2 (OH) was achieved, serving as a structural stabilizer and electronic modulator. The coexistence of F-Al-O units and unsaturated Al centers provides medium-strength Lewis acid sites, which favor selective C-F bond activation while suppressing side reactions. Comprehensive characterizations (XRD, XPS, 27 Al NMR, and NH 3 -TPD) confirmed that the defect-related F-Al-O structure maintains structural integrity and balanced acidity during reaction. Consequently, the optimized catalyst exhibits excellent activity, selectivity, and long-term stability in R152a dehydrofluorination.

The pursuit of high-power and prolonged service life lithium ion batteries has driven extensive research into novel anode materials. Titanium niobium oxide (TNO) has arisen as a prospective contender due to its high reaction potential and low strain performance, which effectively avoid side reactions and suppress the formation of lithium dendrite. However, challenges such as poor conductivity and structural instability during high-rate cycling have hindered their practical application. In this study, high-performance V5+ and F– codoping of the TiNb2O7 (V/F-TNO) anode is obtained by a facile solvothermal method and exhibits outstanding electrochemical properties in both liquid- and solid-state batteries. Under the synergistic effect of V5+ and F– doping, impurity bands and additional oxygen vacancies are introduced to enhance the conductivity, while the particle size is reduced, which significantly improves its rate performance. In addition, a more stable crystal structure improves its cycle life. Thereby, the V/F-TNO anode displays a high reversible capacity of 322.8 mAh g–1 at 0.1 C and a superior rate capability of 222.6 mAh g–1 at 20 C. During long-term cycles, the V/F-TNO anode presents an outstanding discharge capacity of 178.5 mAh g–1 after 1500 cycles at 10 C, equivalent to a capacity retention rate of 78.2%. LiFePO4 (LFP)|Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 composite polymer electrolyte (LATPCPEs)|V/F-TNO solid-state batteries (SSBs) are assembled and display ideal capacities of 129.3 mAh g–1 at 0.2 C and 83.5 mAh g–1 at 5 C. Moreover, they retain an extraordinary capacity of 101.7 mAh g–1 after 200 cycles at 0.5 C, corresponding to a high-capacity retention ratio of 86%. This study demonstrates that the V/F-TNO anode is a promising candidate for high-power liquid and solid-state batteries.

As mineral resources are developed and exploited, the proportion of low-grade zinc ore increases. The concentrations of F - exceeding the optimal range may pose a risk to zinc hydrometallurgy . In the present research, Al 2 O 3 -ZnO microspheres (AZO) characterized by a substantial specific surface area were synthesized through a hydrothermal-roasting technique and applied in industrial zinc sulphate fluoride removal. The optimal adsorption conditions for AZO and the underlying adsorption mechanism were investigated. The results indicated that the adsorption at 12 g·L -1 dosage, original pH=5.32 of the solution and 323 K for 75 min, when the fluoride concentration was reduced to below 50 mg·L -1 , the fluoride removal percentage reached 73.32 %, and the adsorption capacity was 8.55 mg·g -1 . Kinetic studies revealed that AZO exhibited surface inhomogeneity, functioning as a heterogeneous adsorbent, with the fluoride adsorption process being predominantly chemical in nature. The isotherm model suggested that the removal process was characterized by homogeneous adsorption of a monomolecular layer, with a theoretical maximum adsorption capacity of AZO estimated at 9.479 mg·g -1 . FT-IR and XPS analyses demonstrated that the defluorination process occurs through ion exchange between F - and -OH, as well as the formation of Zn/Al-F complexes. Consequently, AZO present a novel approach for developing an effective adsorbent for defluorination in industrial ZnSO 4 solutions.

Carbon dots (CDs) are photoluminescent nanoparticles with distinctive properties, having great potential in nano-biomaterial systems such as gene/drug delivery vectors and cell imaging agents. Fluorine-doped CD C-6F was prepared by a one-step ring-opening polymerization-dehydrative carbonization (RPDC) approach based on low molecular weight polyethyleneimine (PEI, 600 Da) and fluorinated diglycidyl ethers, while the non-fluorinated counterpart C-6H and the CD prepared from PEI 600 Da solely (C-600) were also prepared for comparison. TEM, FT-IR and XPS were performed to determine the compositions and surface states of the CDs. In vitro cell experiment results reveal that the CDs prepared from RPDC approach have much higher transfection efficiency and cellular uptake than PEI 600 contrasts in various cell lines. Compared to non-fluorinated C-6H, C-6F exhibited distinctly higher transfection efficiency, and up to 30 and 260 times higher efficiency than PEI 25 kDa could be achieved in the absence and presence of serum, respectively, indicating the advantage of F-doping. Besides, these CDs exhibit good cell imaging capability under single wavelength excitation, making the materials suitable for cellular tracking and transfection mechanism studies. These results demonstrate that fluorine-doping is an efficient approach to obtained CD gene vectors with high efficiency and serum tolerance.

Super-hydrophobic F-TiO 2 @PP membranes were developed from polypropylene (PP) non-woven fabric by in situ cross-linking polymerization of trifluorofluorooctyl methacrylate (FOMA) and sol–gel-derived titanium dioxide with vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES). Due to the formation of super-hydrophobic “coral”-like synapses on the filamentous surfaces of PP non-woven fabric, F-TiO 2 @PP membranes showed extremely high water contact angles up to 157° and capability of rapidly absorbing oil drops. The F-TiO 2 @PP membranes were also able to expel water from water-in-oil emulsions with robustly high oil permeate fluxes (up to 11,000 L m −2 h −1 under gravity), water removing efficiency (up to 99.7%), re-usability and long-term stability even at the presence of surfactant and salts. Such superior performance could lead to potential applications in rapid collection and efficient purification of recovered oily organic components from waste liquids or accidental oil discharges in marine or continental situations.

Background Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. ( T. wilfordii ) is an important medicinal plant with anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive and anti-tumor activities. The main bioactive ingredients are diterpenoids and triterpenoids, such as triptolide, triptophenolide and celastrol. However, the production of terpenoids from original plants, hairy roots and dedifferentiated cells (DDCs) are not satisfactory for clinical applications. To find a new way to further improve the production of terpenoids, we established a new culture system of cambial meristematic cells (CMCs) with stem cell-like properties, which had strong vigor and high efficiency to produce large amounts of terpenoids of T. wilfordii . Results CMCs of T. wilfordii were isolated and cultured for the first time. CMCs were characterized consistent with stem cell identities based on their physiological and molecular analysis, including morphology of CMCs, hypersensitivity to zeocin, thin cell wall and orthogonal partial least square-discriminant analysis, combination of transcriptional data analysis. After induction with methyl jasmonate (MJ), the maximal production of triptolide, celastrol and triptophenolide in CMCs was 312%, 400% and 327% higher than that of control group, respectively. As for medium, MJ-induced CMCs secreted 231% triptolide and 130% triptophenolide at the maximum level into medium higher than that of control group. Maximal celastrol production of induced CMCs medium was 48% lower than that of control group. Long-term induction significantly enhanced the production of terpenoids both in cells and medium. The reason for increasing the yield of terpenoids was that expression levels of 1 - deoxy - d - xylulose - 5 - phosphate synthase ( DXS ), 1 - deoxy - d - xylulose - 5 - phosphate reductoisomerase ( DXR ) and hydroxymethylglutaryl - CoA synthase ( HMGS ) were upregulated in CMCs after induction. Conclusions For the first time, CMCs of T. wilfordii were isolated, cultured, characterized and applied. Considering the significant enrichment of terpenoids in CMCs of T. wilfordii , CMCs could provide an efficient and controllable platform for sustainable production of terpenoids, which can be a better choice than DDCs.
