Nowadays, most solid-state lighting-based visible light communication (VLC) technology suffers from the color converter’s short optical bandwidth or low stability. Herein, we fabricated MAPbBr3@PbBr(OH) nanocrystals (NCs) with high optical bandwidth and water-stable properties for color conversion of VLC and a white light-emitting diode (LED) system. The sample’s characteristic photoluminescence (PL) spectrum is green emission peaked near 529 nm. As a color converter, it has a high bandwidth capacity for devices. The sample indicates internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of about 38.33% and a PL decay time of about 5.5 ns, and it can maintain its PL properties in water for over 90 days The calculated optical bandwidth is about 49.4 MHz. Its measured −3 dB bandwidth with a 405 nm laser diode can reach 25 MHz with a data rate over 50 Mbps. More interestingly, the perovskite NCs can replace the green phosphor to build a high-speed and multicolor LED, and the −3 dB bandwidth can be maintained at over 80% in this case. These features are far beyond the abilities of commercial green phosphors. Finally, we demonstrate an underwater text transmission system with a 405 nm LED, perovskite color conversion layer, and low-cost silicon-based photodetector.

Photothermal synergistic catalysis provides an efficient implementation strategy for CO₂ conversion into renewable energy. Here, we synthesized a geopolymer/g-C₃N₄/Ni(OH)₂ (GCN) photothermal catalyst featuring nanoscale-interval exposed adsorption and photothermal catalytic active sites through concurrent geopolymerization and alkaline precipitation reactions. The rational modulation of Ni(NO₃)₂ proportion induced explosive nucleation of Ni(OH)₂, ultimately resulting in a nanostructure where geopolymer nanoclusters and Ni(OH)₂ nanocrystals were intergrowth on the g-C₃N₄ interface. The construction of this ternary system effectively enhanced the photogenerated electrons transfer efficiency, and synergized with the thermal effect to significantly improve CO₂ reduction efficiency. And the GCN demonstrated exceptional capture capabilities for both CO₂ and H₂. Under light irradiation, GCN exhibited non-thermal photochemical effect characteristics. Through the photo-assisted thermal catalysis synergistic action, the CO₂ conversion product rate reached 1057.89 mmol.g cat −1 .h −1 , which was 17,869.84 times and 1.16 times higher than those under pure photocatalysis and pure thermal catalysis, respectively. The corresponding CO selectivity can reach 96.05 %. And GCN exhibited stable photothermal cycling performance, the production rate in the 10th cycle still reached 970.28 mmol·g cat −1 ·h −1 . Moreover, the formation of chemical bonds at the geopolymer/Ni(OH)₂ interface effectively suppressed the excessive reduction of Ni(OH)₂ to metallic Ni 0 , thereby inhibiting deep hydrogenation of CO and ensuring high CO selectivity. This study provides both theoretical and technical foundations for the development of low-cost and high-efficiency CO₂ photothermal reduction catalysts.

Catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) into 4-aminophenol (4-AP) is an important method for treating toxic nitroaromatic pollutant. In this work, amorphous CoSn(OH) 6 nanocubes were synthesized by coprecipitation and calcination methods for 4-NP photocatalytic reduction. The crystal structure, morphology and optical property of the samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, and UV–vis DRS. The amorphous CoSn(OH) 6 nanocubes showed excellent photocatalytic performance in 4-NP reduction. The effects of catalyst dosage, 4-NP concentration, and sodium borohydride concentration on the conversion rate of 4-NP were investigated. The results showed that the conversion rate of 4-NP could reach 98.38% in 15 min at room temperature under visible light irradiation. After five cycles of experiments, the conversion rate of 4-NP remained above 90%, indicating the good catalytic stability of the amorphous CoSn(OH) 6 nanocubes. Finally, the mechanisms of photocatalytic reduction on amorphous CoSn(OH) 6 nanocubes are also discussed. The successful preparation of amorphous CoSn(OH) 6 nanocubes may enable the widespread use of amorphous polymetallic oxides for the removal of nitrophenols from wastewater in the future. Graphical Abstract Amorphous CoSn(OH) 6 nanocubes exhibit superior photocatalytic reduction 4-NP to 4-AP performance.

25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)VD3) is an important daily nutritional supplement, and direct enzymatic C25 hydroxylation of vitamin D3 (VD3) to 25(OH)VD3 is a green and sustainable method. However, the low catalytic activity and electron transfer efficiency of redox partners of cytochrome P450 limited its production. Here, structure-guided semirational design of CYP109E1 led to the mutant CYP109E1M2, which showed a 2-fold increase in 25(OH)VD3 production compared to the wild-type. Furthermore, the novel reductase domain BmRD was first employed to construct a fusion protein with CYP109E1M2. Notably, truncating only two amino acids at the N-terminus of BmRD generated a fusion protein Chimera-2, resulting in a 38.5% increase in 25(OH)VD3 production. Under optimized conditions, the engineered strain Escherichia coli 03-2 produced 491.3 mg/L 25(OH)VD3 with a conversion of 49.0% and a space-time yield of 61.4 mg/(L·h). This work demonstrates the modification and optimization potential of P450 and lays a theoretical foundation for the industrialization of the 25(OH)VD3 biosynthesis.

rGO/Ni(OH) 2 /Ni 3 S 2 composite electrode materials were successfully synthesized on Ni foam (NF) by a two-step hydrothermal process and subsequent alkalization treatment. To investigate the influence of reaction time in the secondary hydrothermal process, three different hydrothermal times (4 h, 6 h, 8 h) were set. The results showed that the electrode had the highest specific capacitance of 2260 F·g −1 at 1 A·g −1 at the hydrothermal reaction time of 6 h, (4 h: 1807.8 F·g −1 , 8 h: 1358.3 F·g −1 ). In addition, it exhibited prominent rating capability and cycling stability, with 41.7% retention at 10 A·g −1 and 137.9% retention after 5000 cycles at 50 mV⋅s −1 . Finally, the assembled hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) with rGO/Ni(OH) 2 /Ni 3 S 2 /NF (6 h) and active carbon displayed outstanding electrochemical performance. When the power density was 400.5 W⋅kg −1 , it showed the energy density (25.2 Wh⋅kg −1 ), proving its potential as electrode materials for HSC devices.

A series of biodegradable polyurethanes containing free side hydroxyl groups (PUOH) were synthesized successfully in two steps: (1) PLA diol as soft segment, hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) as hard segment, and benzalpentaerythritol (BPO) as a chain extender were used to synthesize PUs with protected OH groups; (2) CF3COOH was used as a deprotection agent to remove the benzal groups on PU to prepare PUOH. The properties of PU and PUOH were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), water contact angle measurement, and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The benzal groups were removed completely in 15 min without detrimental effect on PU main chains to obtain PUOHs. 4-Azidobenzoic acid was conjugated to PUOH through its esterification with the free OH groups on PUOH. The results of immunofluorescence assay showed that the phenyl azide groups formed were capable of binding mouse IgG under UV (254 nm) irradiation in 3 min; the bound mouse IgG retained its own biological activity and could further bind the FITC-labeled anti(mouse IgG). Therefore, this material has a potential in immunofluorescence assay and related fields.

Developing efficient photocatalysts for solar-driven overall water vapor splitting is crucial for sustainable hydrogen production. However, current photocatalytic efficiencies are limited by inadequate hygroscopicity, sluggish proton transport, and rapid recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Here, we report the successful synthesis of an amorphous Ni(OH) 2 /Ni 2 B heterojunction material with a core–shell structure by regulating the reducing environment during the formation of nickel boride. This material exhibits highly efficient overall water vapor splitting performance without any cocatalysts. Under simulated solar irradiation, the optimized sample achieves a hydrogen production rate of 976 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 , with near-stoichiometric evolution of hydrogen and oxygen, an apparent quantum yield of 5.4 %, and a solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency of 3.8 %. The enhanced performance is attributed to the unique amorphous/amorphous heterojunction structure that promotes effective charge separation, the abundant surface hydroxyl groups that improve proton transport and hygroscopicity, and the formation of photo-induced frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs). Our findings shed light on the critical role of amorphous structures and surface chemistry in boosting photocatalytic activity, paving the way for the rational design of advanced photocatalysts for overall water vapor splitting.

Coupling the ethanol electrooxidation reaction (EOR) with the hydrogen evolution reaction is an effective way to obtain green energy. Although Ni-based catalysts have the characteristics of low cost and good stability, meanwhile, the activity needs to be further improved. Here, we report a Ni-based heterojunction EOR catalyst, Ni3Co1(OH)x@Ni3S2, composed by two phases of Ni3S2 and Ni3Co1(OH)x. The obtained Ni3Co1(OH)x@Ni3S2 showed excellent EOR performance, which could achieve a high specific activity of 315.7 mA/cm2 at 1.40 V, which was 15.5 times that of Ni(OH)2 and superior to most reported Ni-based catalysts. The addition of Co regulates the d-band center and introduces additional positively charged centers for the strong adsorption of OH–. The anionic effect of Ni3S2 can accelerate oxidation of the Ni active centers to active Ni(III) sites. The heterojunction structure can enhance the cation and anion effects and the turnover rate of OH– species, improving the EOR performance.

The industrial synthesis of ethylene glycol (EG) via ethylene oxide hydration is energy-intensive and environmentally harmful due to high greenhouse gas emissions. Although electrochemical oxidation presents a more sustainable route for the direct synthesis of EG from ethylene, existing technologies are hampered by limited catalytic performance stemming from inadequate regulation of the key intermediate, adsorbed hydroxyl radicals (*OH). Herein, we employ a structural engineering strategy to fabricate a PdPtRh trimetallic alloy catalyst by introducing highly electronegative platinum (Pt) and rhodium (Rh) into a palladium (Pd) matrix. By precisely tuning the catalyst’s electronic structure, we effectively optimize the adsorption strength of *OH. Benefiting from this alloying effect, the developed PdPtRh catalyst demonstrates exceptional performance in the ethylene-to-EG conversion, achieving a peak Faradaic efficiency of 52 % and a production rate of 7.61 μmol/cm 2 /h-markedly superior to conventional monometallic Pd catalysts. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations further reveal that the alloy structure facilitates charge redistribution among the metals, effectively lowering key energy barriers in the reaction process. This work not only offers a novel design paradigm for developing efficient, eco-friendly catalysts for EG electrosynthesis but also highlights the immense potential of harnessing multimetallic synergistic effects to optimize performance in the field of electrocatalysis.

Nitrite (NO2–) is an important nitrogenous compound widely used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The electrochemical reduction of earth-abundant nitrate (NO3–) is an appealing strategy for the sustainable synthesis of NO2–, but its practical use is limited by poor selectivity due to the lack of effective electrocatalysts. Herein, the perovskite hydroxide CuSn(OH)6 is developed as an efficient electrocatalyst for the selective electrosynthesis of NO2– from NO3–. The Cu and Sn cations of CuSn(OH)6 work cooperatively for efficient catalysis, in which the NO3– is preferentially adsorbed by the Sn sites and then catalyzed to NO2– by the Cu sites. Because the robust Sn(OH)6 octahedrons in the perovskite hydroxide prevent the Cu2+ from being reconstructed into metallic Cu with strong hydrogenation activity, further reduction of NO2– is eliminated. Consequently, the efficient and selective conversion of NO3– to NO2– is achieved over Sn(OH)6. Even though the electrode potential is as negative as −0.7 V, CuSn(OH)6 shows a high NO2– yield of 145.8 μmol h–1 mgcat–1 (6851.1 μg h–1 mgcat–1) and selectivity of 97% with excellent stability in 100 mM Na2SO4 electrolyte containing 10 mM NaNO3. This study offers an efficient catalyst for selective electrosynthesis of NO2– from NO3– and also a novel technique for designing and regulating Cu-based catalysts for diverse applications.

The reductive dechlorination of chlorinated organic compounds (COCs) is very important to reduce the toxicity of waste effluents produced from pharmaceutical, electronics, dyestuff, pesticide, paper, and plastics industries. Electrochemical dechlorination as a green technology under mild reaction conditions is widely used in the reductive dechlorination of COCs using Pd as the electrode. Currently, the challenges of this method are the need to use large Pd loadings and the low dechlorination efficiency. Efforts were made in this work to reduce the loading of Pd and improve the efficiency using 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) as a probe molecule for COCs in dechlorination. In this study, Pd-anchored Ni(OH)2/Ni-foam bifunctional electrodes were prepared in situ and for the first time applied in the reductive dechlorination of COCs. The results indicate that the dechlorination efficiency of 2,4-D can be enhanced on Pd-anchored Ni(OH)2/Ni-foam bifunctional electrodes even at a low Pd loading (<2 mg cm−2). A synergistic effect is found for 2,4-D dechlorination: H* formation on Ni(OH)2 and dechlorination steps on Pd. The enhanced dechlorination efficiency might be related to the shortened transport route between Ni(OH)2 and Pd active centers for H*.

A zirconium-based metal-organic framework material (UiO-66-OH) was designed and applied for the first time as an adsorbent in food analysis for the solid phase microextraction of trace polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) from milk. The materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analyses. Through response surface methodology, the optimal conditions for adsorption were determined to as follows: extraction time of 30 min, ionic strength of 15%, extraction temperature of 61 °C, and stirring speed of 880 r/min. Under the optimal conditions, the method showed excellent linearity with a high correlation coefficient ( r ≥ 0.9994), low limits of detection in the range of 0.15–0.35 ng L −1 , good interday precision ranging of 7.58%-9.48%, and satisfactory recoveries of 74.7%-118.0%. All these findings showed that the method was reliable and effective for detecting trace PBDEs in milk.
