Design of the photosensitive electrode material provides an effective strategy to improve the capacity and stability of supercapacitors. In this study, the photothermal-driven cobalt–zinc-doped Ni(OH)2/g-C3N4@NF nanoflower electrode materials were prepared base on the in situ chemical etching strategy. The electrochemical performance indicated that the optimized CZNC2.18 (cobalt–zinc codoped β-Ni(OH)2@g-C3N4) electrode material with exceptional stability (103.74% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles at 20 mA/cm2) exhibited an ultrahigh capacitance of 19.10 F/cm2 at a current density of 10 mA/cm2 under illumination, compared to 12.8 F/cm2 under dark conditions, achieving a light gain of 149%. The assembled asymmetric photothermal-assisted supercapacitor device delivers energy densities of 3.55 mWh/cm2 (1.23 mWh/cm2) at corresponding power densities of 8.39 mW/cm2 (37.03 mW/cm2) under illumination, surpassing performance metrics observed under dark conditions. The synergistic effects of photogenerated carriers (holes oxidizing Ni(OH)2 to NiOOH and electrons enhancing conductivity), Zn/Co codoping-induced conductivity improvement, and photothermal-assisted ion transport collectively enable CZNC2.18 exceptional photoelectrochemical performance, establishing a paradigm for light-responsive energy storage material design.

Highly efficient inorganic phosphors are desirable for lighting-emitting diode light sources, and increasing the doping concentration of activators is a common approach for enhancing the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). However, the constraint of concentration quenching poses a great challenge for improving the PLQY. Herein, we propose a fundamental design principle by separating activators and prolonging their distance in Eu 2+ -activated Rb 3 Y(PO 4 ) 2 phosphors to inhibit concentration quenching, in which different quenching rates are controlled by the Eu distribution at various crystallographic sites. The blue-violet-emitting Rb 3 Y(PO 4 ) 2 : x Eu ( x = 0.1%–15%) phosphors, with the occupation of Rb1, Rb2 and Y sites by Eu 2+ , exhibit rapid luminescence quenching with optimum external PLQY of 10% due to multi-channel energy migration. Interestingly, as the Eu concentration increases above 20%, Eu 2+ prefer to occupy the Rb1 and Y sites with separated polyhedra and large interionic distances, resulting in green emission with suppressed concentration quenching, achieving an improved external PLQY of 41%. Our study provides a unique design perspective for elevating the efficiency of Eu 2+ -activated phosphors toward high-performance inorganic luminescent materials for full-spectrum lighting.

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction into ammonia (NitRR) over Co-based catalysts is attractive but still constrained by the competition with H* coupling to produce H 2 . Additionally, the fundamental mechanism underlying the interfacial engineering associated with electronic state transformation for strengthening oriented NitRR remains elusive. Herein, a Co(OH) 2 /Bi 12 O 17 Br 2 heterostructure is fabricated using a one-step wet chemistry method, performing remarkable reactivity for NH 3 production own to the formation of electron-deficiency Co sites induced by Bi 12 O 17 Br 2 . Unexpectedly, the NitRR activity of Co(OH) 2 /Bi 12 O 17 Br 2 increases gradually in the initial stage and then keeps at a high level, which is uncovered as the reconstruction of Bi 12 O 17 Br 2 into Bi 0 . Theoretical calculations suggest that the in situ reconstruction guides the electron-deficiency of Co and the shift of d -band center of Co toward the Fermi level, thus promoting the adsorption and conversion of intermediates. The synergistic effect of the hydrolysis dissociation over Co(OH) 2 and the inhibition of H* coupling over Bi 0 contributes to high selectivity and activity for NitRR. The reconstructed catalyst shows a high ammonia yield rate of 7343.3 µg h −1 mg −1 at −0.6 V versus RHE and nearly 100% Faradaic efficiency at −0.4 V versus RHE. This study provides insight into the strengthening mechanism of Co-based catalysts for NitRR.

Water electrolysis is promising for industrial hydrogen production to achieve a sustainable and green hydrogen economy, but the high cost of the technology limits its market share. Developing efficient yet economic electrocatalysts is crucial to decrease the cost of electricity and electrolytic cell. Meanwhile, electrolysis in seawater electrolyte can further reduce feedstock cost. Here, a type of electrocatalyst is synthesized, where trace precious metals are strongly anchored on a corrosion-resistive matrix. As an example, the produced Pt/Ni-Mo electrocatalyst only needs an overpotential of 113 mV to reach an ultrahigh current density of 2000 mA cm −2 in the saline-alkaline electrolyte, demonstrating the best performance reported thus far. It shows high activity and long durability in various electrolytes and under harsh conditions, including strong alkaline and simulated seawater electrolytes, and under elevated temperatures up to 80 ° C. This electrocatalyst is produced on a large scale at a low cost and shows good performance in a commercial membrane electrode assembly stack, demonstrating its feasibility for practical water electrolysis.

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) detection is vital for early prostate cancer diagnosis, yet conventional methods suffer from sensitivity and label-dependent limitations. This study presents a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor enhanced by Ni(OH) 2 /Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanocomposites (NTC) for sensitive detection of total PSA (tPSA) in serum. The NTC architecture synergizes carboxyl-functionalized MXene, amplifying localized electric fields and antibody-binding sites, with Ni(OH) 2 nanoflowers that prevent MXene stacking and enhance refractive index (RI) sensitivity. Optimized via finite element modeling (50-nm Au film, 72.4 ° incident angle), the Au-NTC architecture achieved a 39.34% improvement in RI sensitivity (3064.86 nm/RIU) compared to pristine Au. Through the dual signal amplification mechanism of synergistic enhancement by nanomaterials and sandwich method with gold nanoparticles, enabled detection of tPSA in 20% serum across a wide dynamic range (0.2–160 ng/mL), fully covering the clinical risk threshold (4–10 ng/mL). The platform demonstrated an ultralow limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0361 ng/mL (0.5157 pM) and high specificity against interferons. Kinetic analysis revealed strong antigen-antibody affinity (equilibrium dissociation constant K D = 4 . 26 × 1 0 − 10 M), while batch-producible sensor chips and integrated microfluidics underscored practical applicability. This work advances label-free SPR biosensing for precision prostate cancer diagnostics, offering significant potential in point-of-care testing and early intervention strategies.

With high theoretical discharge specific capacity, excellent reversibility of electrochemical reaction, and suitable oxygen evolution overpotential, α -Ni(OH) 2 is an auspicious cathode material for alkaline batteries, which supports the development of high-capacity nickel-based batteries. Nevertheless, α -Ni(OH) 2 exhibits substandard structural stability and is susceptible to crystalline transformation, leading to capacity degradation, affecting the battery charge/discharge performance and cycle life. In this study, the TiO 2 -nickel hydroxide (TiO 2 - α -Ni(OH) 2 ) is prepared by high-energy ball milling. Among them, TiO 2 can be uniformly dispersed on the surface of α -Ni(OH) 2 , which can effectively prevent the collapse of the α -phase structure. Benefiting from the unique elemental doping technology, the TiO 2 - α -Ni(OH) 2 composites as a nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery cathode can release a reversible specific capacity of 390 mAh g −1 at a 2 C rate for 200 cycles. A reversible specific capacity of 210 mAh g −1 is still released after 200 cycles at a 5 C rate. Consequently, TiO 2 - α -Ni(OH) 2 is a promising candidate for high-power Ni-MH batteries.

Rare-earth ions have garnered significant attention due to their large ionic radii and unique electronic configurations. In this study, two scandium-based pyrophosphates, ASc2(P2O7)2 (A = Ba, Pb), were successfully synthesized by using a high-temperature melting method. They are the first reported examples of divalent cations binding to scandium-based pyrophosphates. The anionic backbones in their structures are all based on Sc–P–O frameworks, and two distinct cluster configurations are observed: cyclic [ScP2O10] and linear [ScP2O11] clusters. A comprehensive comparison of Sc/Y-based pyrophosphates reveals a strong correlation between the Sc–P–O configurations and the A-site cationic coordination environments. This work also investigated the influence of cations on the P–O configuration of existing Sc/Y-based pyrophosphates, which also offers useful reference for the synthesis of novel scandium-based phosphates.

The major challenges for Li-O 2 batteries are sluggish reaction kinetics and large overpotentials due to the cathode passivation resulting from insulative and insoluble Li 2 O 2 . Here, a novel nanodot (ND)-modified electrolyte is designed by employing cobalt bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (Co(TFSI) 2 ) as an electrolyte additive. The Co(TFSI) 2 additive can react with discharge intermediate LiO 2 and product Li 2 O 2 to form CoO NDs. The generated CoO NDs are well dispersed in electrolyte, which integrates both the high catalytic activity of solid catalyst and the good wettability of soluble catalyst. Under the catalytis of CoO NDs, Li 2 O 2 is produced and deposits on the cathode together with them. At the recharge process, these well dispersed CoO NDs help to decompose solid Li 2 O 2 at a lower overpotential. The Li-O 2 cells with Co(TFSI) 2 exhibit a long cycle life of 200 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g −1 under a cutoff capacity of 1000 mAh g −1 , as well as a superior reversibility associated with the Li 2 O 2 formation and decomposition. The study is expected to broaden the range of electrolyte additives and provide a new view to developing highly dispersed NDs-based catalysts for Li-O 2 batteries.

Benzophenone-2 (BP-2) is an important type of UV filter that has been widely used and detected in the aquatic environment with greater estrogenic toxicity. In our work, the removal of BP-2 with the initial concentration of 25 mg L−1 was first carried out by ozone at different pH (ranging from pH 3.0 to 11.0), and we found a positive correlation between the pH values and the degradation efficiency of BP-2, among which the more rapid removal of BP-2 in alkaline condition was observed than acidic and neutral conditions. For the influence of aqueous humic acid (HA, the concentration ranged from 0 ppm to 100 ppm), the degradation rate of BP-2 by ozonation was first increased with the growth of humic acid concentration (from 0 ppm to 5 ppm), reaching to maximum at 5 ppm of HA and subsequently decreased with the growth of HA concentration (from 5 ppm to 100 ppm). Fourteen intermediate products in the ozonation process were distinguished by an electrospray time-of-flight mass spectrometer and then two degradation pathways were proposed. Through the theoretical calculation, we found the carbanyl group of BP-2 has the most reactivity to be easily attacked by ozone, providing us guides and theoretical basis on the supposed intermediate products. Furthermore, the P. phosphoreum acute toxicity test was conducted to evaluate the potential toxicity during the ozonation process.

SiO 3 − x /2 samples (SNS, x = 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.45) were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at a lower sintering temperature of 850 °C for a shorter holding time of 5 min. All SNS samples by SPS are composed of single monoclinic SrSiO 3 phase, and the grain sizes are in the range of 1.9 ± 0.5 μm. The measurement results of the electrical properties show that the conductivities of SPS samples are one order of magnitude higher than those of the samples by traditional sintering method. The ion transference numbers of SNS samples by SPS are all higher than 0.99 in the temperature range of 500∼650 °C, which demonstrates that the SNS has met the requirements as solid oxide fuel cell electrolytes and the SPS process is a promising candidate for preparations of SNS electrolytes.

A robust redox-responsive block copolymer was proposed and prepared as drug vehicle based on disulfide linked poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) and poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PMPC-ss-PTMC). The size and morphology of the polymer nanoparticles were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The profile of drug release response to glutathione (GSH) was monitored in vitro. Upon 10 mM GSH, mimicking the intracellular microenvironments such as cytosol and the cell nucleus, the resulted drug carrier was destructed ascribe to abruption of the disulfide bonds, followed by accelerated drug release from the nanoparticles. MTT assay showed that the blank micelles did not reveal cytotoxicity to the human cervical cancer HeLa cells and mouse connective tissue fibroblast L929 cells even up to 500 μg/mL. On the other hand, the Doxorubicin-loaded (DOX-loaded) micelles that contained disulfide bonds exhibit a higher cytotoxicity against HeLa cells than that of no disulfide bonds, but there was no significant difference in cytotoxicity against the L929 cells. Confocal laser scanning microscopy and flow cytometry investigation showed that the DOX-loaded micelles can be swiftly internalized, and effectively transmitted the drugs into nuclei. These results suggested that the copolymer as a robust and effective redox-responsive nanocarrier to augment drug efficacy for cancer cells.

Na superionic conductor (NASICON)-type Na3(VO)2(PO4)2F (NVOPF) exhibits excellent cycling stability for high-voltage sodium ion batteries. Various strategies have been developed to form ion-exchanged NVOPF which can enhance the ionic and electronic conductivity. However, the underlying ion transport mechanism and complex structural transitions during battery operation remained uninvestigated. In this work, we prepared lithium-exchanged NVOPF (namely NLVOPF) which shows improved ionic conductivity and increased capacity at high discharging rates. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) revealed the distinctive presence of two kinds of Li-exchanged sites in the NLVOPF, which are attributed to the occupied lithium ions at the Na1 and Na2 sites (namely Li1 and Li2, respectively). The Li1 site was metastably replaced in the first cycle, yet the Li2 site participated in ion insertion/extraction in the subsequent cycles. Our characterizations show that the dynamic doping of lithium in NLVOPF could contribute to the improved cycling stability and capacity retention.
