Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a prevalent critical condition in hospitalized patients with an elevated risk of death. Challenges in AKI management persist due to the absence of efficient early diagnostic modalities and the lack of effective therapeutic interventions, imposing significant burdens on medical resources for prolonged treatment. Here, we proposed a second near-infrared (NIR-II) photoacoustic imaging (PAI) guided triggered on-demand release of (nitric oxide) NO from the injury zone to monitor and treat AKI through the anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and oxidative stress-damage-reducing cell- or organ-protective effects of NO. We engineered hollow copper sulfide nanoparticles (Cu 9 S 8 NPs) loaded with platelet membrane-encapsulated NO-releasing precursors (S-Nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine, SNAP), as a nanoplatform for early AKI diagnosis and precise spatiotemporal NO release Besides acting as a drug carrier, the inherent PAI compatible Cu 9 S 8 also enables targeted renal injury localization, exploiting the natural propensity of platelets to accumulate at vascular injury sites, facilitating real-time AKI monitoring in murine models. Experiments demonstrated that nitric oxide delivery nanoparticles can specifically target and accumulate in the kidney, reduce inflammation, and promote damage repair. Overall, this gas therapy strategy represents a new therapeutic pathway for the clinical AKI management.

A compact optical fiber sensor based on a no-core fiber (NCF) segment functionalized with a Cu²⁺-imprinted chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (CS/PVA) film was developed to enable operando on-line monitoring of Cu²⁺ with high selectivity and sensitivity in complex environmental water matrices. The optimal length of the NCF segment was determined to be 1 cm based on simulation and experimental evaluation, under which the highest sensitivity was achieved. The pseudo-second-order kinetic behavior of Cu²⁺ adsorption was first validated by analyzing the time-dependent shift of the interference valley, providing direct spectral evidence of a chemisorption-driven mechanism. A sensitivity of 0.0768 nm/μM and a detection limit of 0.1245 μM were obtained. A rapid response time of less than 20 s and excellent measurement repeatability, with strong specificity toward the target ion and relative standard deviation below 5 percent over five regeneration cycles, were also demonstrated. The sensor was further applied to spiked water samples from the Yangtze River and tap water. By integrating ion-imprinting technology with an optimized NCF-based fiber structure, a portable, cost-effective, and interference-resistant platform has been established for real-time and on-site monitoring of heavy metal ions in complex aquatic environments.

The growing danger of bacterial infections has resulted in an urgent need for developing new antibacterial approaches. In this study, cellulose nanofiber-copper sulfide (CNF-CuS), calcium peroxide (CaO 2 ), and L-arginine (LA) were incorporated into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan (CS) hydrogels to fabricate a multifunctional PVA/CS/CNF-CuS/CaO 2 /LA composite hydrogel with near-infrared (NIR)-activated photothermal, photodynamic, and gas therapies. Antibacterial tests on PVA/CS/CNF-CuS/CaO 2 /LA showed that, after a 10-minute NIR irradiation period, the hydrogel achieved antibacterial rates of 99.3% against E. coli and 99.7% against S. aureus. The marked improvement in bactericidal performance can be attributed to the synergistic interaction of elevated temperature, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and nitric oxide (NO). Given the effective antibacterial property of the PVA/CS/CNF-CuS/ CaO 2 /LA hydrogel, this study offers new insights into the design of composite hydrogels for wound healing and wound dressing applications.

Developing facile TiO2 preparation methods is crucial for advancing the industrial implementation of a catalytic peroxone process for NO oxidation. In this study, three types of precursors, including titanium butoxide (Ti-BO), metatitanic acid (Ti-MTA), and titanyl sulfate (Ti-TOS), were used to synthesize TiO2. Remarkably, Ti-TOS and Ti-MTA exhibited enhanced activity compared to that of Ti-BO, with 93 and 87% NO oxidation efficiency (373 K, O3/NO = 0.4, H2O2/NO = 1.2, GHSV = 1.2 × 105 h–1), which is higher than that of Ti-BO (78%). Further investigations revealed that residual sulfate groups (SO42–) from precursors enhance Lewis acidity by withdrawing electrons from the Ti4+ sites, thereby facilitating H2O2 deprotonation and Ti-OOH formation. This accelerates radical generation for NO oxidation while inhibiting nitrate accumulation and weakening NO adsorption to optimize reaction kinetics. In addition, sulfates also inhibit the accumulation of oxidation product nitrates on the catalyst surface, thereby improving catalytic stability. This work reveals the promotion mechanism of SO42– on the catalytic peroxone process from multiple perspectives.

CeO2–CuO/Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by three different methods and their activities for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3 were investigated. As can be seen from the experimental results, the catalyst prepared by the single-step sol–gel (SG) method showed the best SCR activity and resistance to SO2 and H2O. In order to investigate the relationship between the preparation method and the performance of SCR catalysts, the catalysts were characterized by using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, X-ray diffraction, temperature programmed reduction with hydrogen, temperature programmed desorption with ammonia, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared and thermo-gravimetric analysis techniques. It was found that the excellent performance of CeO2–CuO/Al2O3 catalyst prepared by the single-step SG method should be resulted from its large surface area, low crystallinity, high oxygen storage capacity, high NH3 adsorption capacity, high concentration of surface chemisorbed oxygen, weak sulphation process and weak water absorption.

Plants release a variety of defensive volatiles in response to biotic stress. The present study examined interactions between Colletotrichum fructicola and the defense volatiles induced by this fungal species in the tea cultivar “Qiancha No. 1”. Analysis of the volatiles emitted from C. fructicola-infected leaves of “Qiancha No. 1” revealed that four volatiles showed a relative content increase of more than 2%. Fungicidal activity assays demonstrated that decanal exhibited the strongest antifungal activity among the four volatiles. Further physiological experiments demonstrated that the antifungal mechanism of decanal was associated with disruption of the cell wall and the membrane. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the genes encoding Chitinase 1, chitin synthase 1, and endochitinase42 were identified as potential targets that may be involved in cell wall degradation by decanal. Additionally, genes encoding cytochrome P450-DIT2 and multidrug resistance protein fer6 were identified as potential targets that may be associated with membrane damage. This study is the first to demonstrate that decanal acts as a direct defense volatile in the interaction between C. fructicola and “Qiancha No. 1,” highlighting its potential as an effective antifungal agent.

Nitrogen dioxide is a hazard to the natural environment and human health. Therefore, it is necessary to design a nitrogen dioxide sensor to detect NO 2 . In this work, using SnCl 2 as the raw material and loofah sponge as the bio-template, SnO 2 -bio was synthesized through simple immersion and calcination, inheriting the multilayer mesoporous structure of the bio-template. Compared to commercially available SnO 2 , this material has a larger specific surface area and offers more oxygen vacancies for the reaction with adsorbed gases. At 92℃, the SnO 2 -bio sensor exhibits a higher response value of 247.6–5 ppm NO 2 . Meanwhile, it has faster response and recovery speeds of 65/43 s, respectively. The SnO 2 -bio sensor also has excellent selectivity, long-term stability, and cycling stability. Furthermore, in-situ techniques and density functional theory were employed to investigate the mechanism of sensitization and the effect of oxygen vacancies on gas adsorption.

Excessive ClO 2 tends to be produced and escape, causing secondary pollution when wet oxidation of NO with NaClO 2 is conducted under acidic conditions. NaClO 2 alkaline oxidation has accordingly received a wide attention. In this work, NaClO 2 alkaline oxidation of NO has been systematically studied in a self-built spray tower. Focus has been placed on the effects of acidic components contained in flue gas such as CO 2 , HCl and SO 2 . ClO 2 and HClO 2 are considered more effective for NO oxidation, which tend to be produced in an acidic environment. HCO 3 − has a relatively higher hydrolysis coefficient than ClO 2 − , leading to more HClO 2 formation. Similarity is found with HCl although the effect is not as significant as CO 2 due to its low concentration in flue gas. SO 2 exhibits a negative effect on NO removal since HClO 2 can be consumed by SO 2 . Nearly 100 % NO removal efficiency can be achieved although there is an initial time delay necessary for the neutralization of alkaline environment. A similar performance has been observed for HCl. On the contrary, SO 2 exhibits a negative effect on NO removal due to the competition with NO in the consumption of NaClO 2 . Additives such as NaClO and CTAC were also used to enhance NaClO 2 alkaline oxidation performance. Interesting to note that CTAC can nearly eliminate the time delay by intensifying the gas-liquid mass transfer.

Ordered mesoporous silica materials exhibit enormous potential in industrial production. Since coal fly ash (CFA) is abundant in Si, it has become a green and promising way to utilize CFA by synthesizing porous silica materials. However, the stable crystalline structure of CFA limits the extraction of Si, and the residue is generated during the process of extracting Si. In this work, we proposed a no-residue method to synthesize ordered mesoporous silica out of CFA. Sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3 ) was used to reconstruct the crystals of the CFA, and the calcined mixture then directly reacted with the precipitators. This method combined the process of Si extraction and porous material synthesis. In this method, no residue was generated and the silicon in both amorphous and crystalline phases of CFA was fully utilized. By this method, the extraction efficiency of Si was increased from 31.75% to nearly 100%. The as-synthesized mesoporous silica had a highly-ordered pore structure with a space group of la-3d , a surface area of 663.87 m 2 /g, a pore volume of 0.41 cm 3 /g, and an average pore diameter of 2.73 nm. The mechanism of crystalline transformation and material structure formation were systematically studied. This method provides a new idea to dispose of CFA and synthesize porous silica materials.

A series of Fe–Ce–Ti catalysts were prepared via co-precipitation method to investigate the effect of doping Ce into Fe–Ti catalysts for selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3. The NO conversion over Fe–Ce–Ti catalysts was considerably improved after Ce doping compared to that of Fe–Ti catalysts. The Fe(0.2)–Ce(0.4)–Ti catalysts exhibited superior catalytic activity to that of Fe(0.2)–Ti catalysts. The obtained catalysts were characterized by N2adsorption (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), temperature programmed desorption (NH3-TPD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrophotometry, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The data showed that the introduction of Ce results in higher surface area and better dispersion of active components on the catalyst surface and enhances the amount of surface acid sites. The interactions between Fe and Ce species were found to improve the redox ability of the catalyst, which promotes catalytic performance at low temperature. The XPS results revealed that Fe3+/Fe2+and Ce4+/Ce3+coexisted on the catalyst surface and that Ti was in 4+ oxidation state on catalyst surface. Ce doping increased the atomic ratio of Fe/Ti and Ce/Ti and enhanced the surface adsorbed oxygen species. In addition, Fe(0.2)–Ce(0.4)–Ti catalyst also showed better tolerance to H2O and SO2and up to 92% NO conversion at 270 °C with 200 ppm SO2added over 25 h, which suggests that it is a promising industrial catalyst for mid-low temperature NH3–selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reaction.Keywords:SCR;denitration;catalytic activity;synergistic effect;SO2resistance

The naturally evolved and intestinal pathogenic Fusobacterium nucleatum ( Fn )-induced drug resistance profoundly impaired the efficacy of chemotherapy against colorectal cancer (CRC). Alternative treatment modalities against Fn -associated CRC are desperately needed. Herein, we engineer an in situ-activated anti-tumor and antibacterial nanoplatform (Cu 2 O/ [email protected] ) to allow photoacoustic (PA) imaging-guided photothermal and NO gas combinatorial therapy for enhanced Fn -associated CRC treatment. The nanoplatform is constructed by loading cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O) and nitric oxide (NO) donor (BNN6) into dextran-decorated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN), which is finally surface-functionalized with dextran via dynamic boronate linkage. Cu 2 O can be sulfuretted in situ by endogenous hydrogen sulfide overexpressed in CRC to produce copper sulfide with remarkable PA and photothermal properties, enabling the generation of NO from BNN6 under 808 nm laser irradiation, which is eventually triggered to release by multiple biological cues in the tumor microenvironment . Cu 2 O/ [email protected] exhibits superior biocompatibility , as well as H 2 S-triggered near-infrared-controlled antibacterial and anti-tumor performance in vitro and in vivo via photothermal and NO gas combination therapy. Furthermore, Cu 2 O/ [email protected] provokes systemic immune responses, thereby promoting anti-tumor efficacy. This study provides a conbinational strategy to effectively inhibit tumors and intratumor pathogens for enhanced CRC treatment.

In this work, a positively charged chitosan-grafted-polyarginine (CS-N-PArg) as the macro-molecular NO donor, and a negatively charged acetalated starch (AcSt-O-PAsp) as a glucose donor, have been synthesized. To achieve the multi-enzymatic cascade system for local generation of self-supply glucose to increase the H 2 O 2 concentration for the subsequent oxidization of L-Arg into NO, the designed positively charged CS-N-PArg, negatively charged AcSt-O-PAsp, glucoamylase (GA) and glucose oxidase (GOx) are absorbed and assembled in the pore of the gelatin sponge via electrostatic interaction to establish a smart antibacterial dressings (CS/St + GOx/GA). Once stimulated by Escherichia coli ( E. coli )-infected wounds (a slightly acidic environment), the cascade reaction system can sequentially induce to generate glucose, H 2 O 2 and NO, which exhibits a meaningful alternative idea for a high-performance antibacterial therapy.
