Organic multiferroic heterostructure is one of the most promising structures for the future design of high-density flexible energy-efficient data storage. Here, organic ferromagnetic metal(tetracyanoethylene) (M(TCNE)) x /ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) multiferroic heterostructures are fabricated, where the excited state in M(TCNE) x interacted with localized dipole in P(VDF-TrFE) provides a key link for the interfacial coupling. Thus, aligned dipoles in P(VDF-TrFE) by external electric field can affect the magnetization of Fe(TCNE) x effectively to result in a pronounced magnetization–voltage ( M – V ) hysteresis loop. Moreover, light-induced electron-hole pairs in Fe(TCNE) x with long lifetime effectively interact with the dipoles in P(VDF-TrFE) to lead to an effect in external light control of electric polarization of P(VDF-TrFE). Overall, the organic multiferroic heterostructure provides the possibility of realizing two storage modes, light control of dipole as well as electric field control of spin, which can broaden multifunctional applications of organic multiferroic materials in the area of multistate storage.

The large-scale implementation of direct ethylene glycol fuel cells (DEGFCs) relies on the design of catalysts that possess exceptional activity, durability, and efficient C–C bond breaking ability. However, Pt and Pd-based nanomaterials continue to face challenges of low selectivity and slow reaction kinetics in driving the complete oxidation of ethylene glycol to CO 2 . In this work, a facile one-pot reduction method is reported for controllable synthesis of PtBi nanodendrites (PtBi-NDs) composed of ultrathin bimetallene subunits. In alkaline media, the composition optimized PtBi-NDs demonstrate outstanding activity and strong resistance to CO poisoning during the ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR). The PtBi-NDs show 5.8-fold higher mass activity, enhanced stability, and superior C1 selectivity relative to commercial Pt nanoparticles (Pt c-NCs). Most strikingly, PtBi-NDs deliver a higher power density (8.3 mW cm –2 ) than Pt c-NCs in DEGFCs. The theoretical analysis and experimental measurements explain that the introduction of Bi element into Pt induces d–p orbital hybridization and promotes electron transfer from Bi to Pt, thereby facilitating C–C bond cleavage and boosting EGOR kinetics. This work establishes an effective strategy for constructing Pt-based ultrathin bimetallenes and offers fundamental insights into boosting EGOR performance via d-p orbital hybridization.

Background: P. diazotrophicus was isolated from a newborn with D-galactosemia complicated sepsis. A homologous blaCAR-2 gene, encoding CAR-2, a predicted member of the CAR family subclass B3 metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), was found in the genome of this strain. This study aimed to explore the identification of a novel CAR-2 protein encoded by the chromosome of P. diazotrophicus Pd1 that exhibits the zinc-binding motifs of subclass B3 enzymes and the regulatory pattern of CARR, located directly upstream of the blaCAR-2 gene, on the blaCAR-2 gene and its impact on antibiotic resistance.Methods: Antibiotic susceptibility testing was conducted by the plate agar dilution method. Site-directed mutagenesis was conducted using Mut Express II Fast Mutagenesis Kit V2. Kinetic assays were used to determine the hydrolysis of β-Lactam. The construction of bacterial knockout strains was carried out according to the principle of homologous recombination. The detection of the mRNA expression level of the gene was performed by Real-time Quantitative PCR (qPCR).Results: The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for E.coli DH5α(pHSG398::CAR-2), which expressed blaCAR-2, increased significantly for cefalothin, cefuroxime and cefotaxime sodium by 2-, 16- and 32- fold, respectively, which showed that blaCAR-2 had resistance to these three antibiotics. This protein, which was a MBL, contains two classical zinc-binding sites characteristic of subclass B3, with the amino acid motif His136, His138, His211, Asp140, His141, and His276. Among the six residues, His136, Asp140, and His211 exhibited the highest catalytic activity. We determined that CAR-2 can effectively hydrolyze cefalothin, cefuroxime and cefotaxime. The chloramphenicol resistance of the constructed E. coli DH5α strain was significantly reduced in the presence of CARR than in the absence of CARR. Compared with those for the wild-type P. diazotrophicus, MICs of cefalothin, cefuroxime and cefotaxime for the ΔCARR strain increased by 8-, 8- and 16-fold, respectively, and the expression level of blaCAR-2 also increased by approximately 10-fold.Conclusion: Overall, CAR-2 is a novel subclass B3 MBL of the CAR family that exhibits catalytic activity against cefalothin, cefuroxime and cefotaxime. CARR represses the expression of blaCAR-2, thereby reducing the resistance of P. diazotrophicus to these antibiotics. This provided a theoretical basis for revealing new mechanisms of pathogen resistance.

The manufacturing of perovskite solar cells under ambient conditions is desirable, yet the efficiency of p–i–n perovskite solar cells fabricated in air still lags behind those made in an inert atmosphere. Here we introduce an ionic pair stabilizer, dimethylammonium formate (DMAFo), into the perovskite precursor solution to prevent the degradation of perovskite precursors. DMAFo inhibits the oxidization of iodide ions and deprotonation of organic cations, improving the crystallinity and reducing defects in the resulting perovskite films. We show the generation of additional p-type defects during ambient air fabrication that suggests the need for improving bulk properties of the perovskite film beyond surface passivation. Upon addition of DMAFo, we demonstrate that the efficiency of inverted p–i–n solar cells based on perovskite layers with 1.53-eV and 1.65-eV bandgaps fabricated under ambient conditions (25–30 °C, 35–50% relative humidity) increases by 15–20%. We achieve a certified stabilized efficiency of 24.72% for the 1.53-eV cell, on a par with state-of-the-art counterparts fabricated in an inert atmosphere.

m -Cresol and p -cresol cannot be effectively separated using conventional distillation because of their proximate boiling temperatures. This study investigated the adsorption separation of cresol using the short b -axis ZSM-5 synthesized via a urea-assisted method. In contrast to the ellipsoidal HZSM-5, which was approximately 1 μm in length, the thickness of the sheet-like HZSM-5 decreased to 36 nm, resulting in an increase in total cresol adsorption capacity from 76 to 122 mg/g. Applying the CLD method, an increase in the TEOS:HZSM-5 ratio from 0 to 0.83 resulted in the increase in p -cresol adsorption capacity from 69 to 106 mg/g, while m -cresol adsorption capacity dropped from 53 to 12 mg/g. The adsorption selectivity significantly rose from 1.3 to 9.7. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms demonstrated that the process was exothermic for p -cresol and endothermic for m -cresol.

Imidacloprid (IMI), a neonicotinoid insecticide extensively applied in agriculture, is among the most frequently detected pesticides in food. However, the long-term impact of chronic dietary exposure to environmentally relevant IMI doses on kidney health has not been fully elucidated, particularly regarding its nephrotoxic mechanisms. To address this gap, chronic exposure to IMI was administered to mice through supplementation of their feed with environmentally relevant doses (approximately 100 and 1000 μg/kg/day) for 24 weeks to investigate its nephrotoxicity and underlying mechanisms. Toxicological analysis revealed that chronic IMI exposure led to renal dysfunction, histopathological alterations, and excessive apoptosis in mice. Mechanistic investigations suggested that IMI might inhibit AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity through both direct and indirect pathways. Direct inhibition occurred through the binding of IMI and its metabolites to AMPK, reducing its phosphorylation activity. Indirect inhibition involved excessive production of reactive oxygen species, which suppressed AMPK phosphorylation, leading to sustained purine metabolism dysregulation in the renal system. Consequently, the kidneys showed an aggravated redox imbalance, heightened inflammatory states, and increased cellular apoptosis. The results of this study are intended to raise awareness of pesticide use and food safety among agricultural workers and consumers.

Direct functionalization of saturated C–H bonds by metalloporphyrin catalysts is among the topical and challenging areas within the chemical industry and synthetic chemistry. In this work, supported CoD(p-Cl)PPCl metalloporphyrin catalysts were prepared and characterized. It has been found that the CoD(p-Cl)PPCl/ZnO catalyst shows better catalytic activity than the supported catalyst (ZrO2, MCM-41, kaolin, Zr(OH)2, and boehmite (BM)) in cyclohexane oxidation with dioxygen. The effects of the reaction pressure, reaction temperature, and reaction time on the catalytic activity were considered by the supported CoD(p-Cl)PPCl/ZnO catalyst. The CoD(p-Cl)PPCl/ZnO catalyst can be facilely recovered and was recycled up to seven times without a significant decrease in catalytic performance. The average cyclohexane conversion and selectivity to KA oil are 10.98% and 84.34%, respectively, and the turnover number is 2.10 × 107.

In this work, novel 2D type-II p-n heterojunctions La 2 Ti 2 O 7 /In 2 S 3 have been fabricated. The heterojunctions exhibit much improved photocatalytic activity over individual moieties and their physical mixtures in which 18-fold increment in hydrogen production has been achieved under visible light illumination (λ ≥ 400 nm). Their superior activities stem from intimate face-to-face contact between La 2 Ti 2 O 7 and In 2 S 3 in the heterojunctions which guarantee facile charge interchange. Photoelectrochemical analysis suggests that efficient charge separations occur at the interfaces of the heterojunctions and contributes to a prolonged charge lifetime as well as the much enhanced photocatalytic activities. Such a simple strategy by fabricating ultrathin type-II p-n heterojunctions also warrant promising applications in other areas such as optoelectronics, sensors etc. whereby efficient charge separations are needed.

Graphene oxide was covalently modified with p -phenylenediamine via a diazonium reaction. The resulting material was employed as a sorbent for the solid-phase extraction of six phenylurea herbicides (metoxuron, monuron, chlortoluron, isoproturon, monolinuron, and buturon) from environmental water and lettuce leafs. Some key factors that influence the extraction efficiency were studied, including sample loading rate, sample pH, and desorption conditions. Following desorption with acetonitrile, the analytes were quantified by HPLC with UV detection. Under optimized conditions, response to phenylurea herbicides is linear in the 2.0–100 ng mL −1 concentration range for water samples, and 5.0–100 ng g −1 for leaf lettuces. The limits of detection are 0.10–0.25 ng mL −1 for water samples, and 1.5–2.5 ng g −1 for leaf lettuces. The sorbent was also applied to the preconcentration of organic compounds including nitroimidazoles, chlorophenols, phenylurea insecticides and phthalates. This shows that this sorbent has a large potential for the enrichment of organic pollutants.
A graphene oxide/ p -phenylenediamine (GO@PA) composite was prepared via a simple and environmentally-friendly diazonium reaction between p -phenylenediamine diazonium salt and graphene oxide. It was used as the solid phase extraction (SPE) adsorbent to extract phenylurea herbicides with the extraction efficiency higher than that of commercial C18, multi-walled carbon nanotube and polystyrene polymer. The SPE method was combined with HPLC for simultaneous determination of six phenylurea herbicides in environment water and vegetable samples.

The band degeneracy thus thermoelectric performance of (Fe, Co)Sb 3 based p -type skutterudites can be well modulated by adjusting Co/Fe ratio. Combining systematic experiments and density function theory (DFT) calculations, we revealed in this work that the variation of Co/Fe ratio could result in complicated and mutually coupled effects on the individual thermoelectric parameters (band degeneracy, band gap, Fermi level , filling limit of fillers, phonon spectrum, etc.) and that using Co/Fe ratio to improve the overall thermoelectric figure of merit is nontrivial. We eventually found that the optimal Co/Fe ratio for Mm (Misch metal) filled (Fe, Co)Sb 3 lies at 1.3:2.7, which is somewhat off the Co/Fe = 1:3 point where the largest valence band degeneracy appears. Extra Sb was then introduced to compensate Sb volatilization for improved electrical transport performance. An overall peak figure of merit ZT max of 1.06 was eventually achieved in the sample Mm 0.8 Fe 2.7 Co 1.3 Sb 12.60 , which is among the highest ones for all reported (Fe, Co)Sb 3 based p -type skutterudites so far.

Thin-film composite poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofiltration membranes with improved permselectivity were prepared by incorporating poly(sodium-p-styrene-sulfonate) (PSSNa). Membranes were prepared through surface coating and in situ cross-linking procedure with porous polysulfone (PSf) membrane as support, PVA and PSSNa as coating materials , and glutaraldehyde as cross-linking agent. The effects of the incorporation of PSSNa on the membrane property and performance were investigated experimentally through ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, AFM analysis, streaming potential analysis, contact angle measurement and cross-flow permeation test. It was found that the incorporation of PSSNa resulted in increased membrane pore size, surface hydrophilicity and negative charge and thereby improved membrane permeability and solute selectivity . The PVA–PSf composite membrane exhibited a pure water flux of about 21.0 l/m 2 h, NaCl rejection of 69.8% and Na 2 SO 4 rejection of 96.5% when tested with 500 mg/l electrolyte aqueous solution at neutral pH and 5.0 bar, while the desired PSSNa/PVA–PSf composite membrane exhibited a higher pure water flux of 41.7 l/m 2 h, lower NaCl rejection of 55.7% and higher Na 2 SO 4 rejection of 98.3%. Moreover, compared with the PVA–PSf composite membrane, the PSSNa/PVA–PSf composite membrane possessed increased water flux and dye removal to anionic dye aqueous solution and improved fouling resistance to BSA aqueous solution.

Despite much attention on the photoelectronic device applications of CuO-based materials, a thorough analysis of optical properties and electronic band structure of Ni-doped CuO films is still necessary. Here, the calculation based on the density functional theory revealed a strong hybridization of O 2p and Cu 3d orbits near the conduction band minimum (CBM) and valence band maximum (VBM) of CuO films. The Ni addition is found to enhance the carrier mobility, because the weaker localization of O 2p states at the VBM is observed in 50 atom % doped CuO. To confirm the theoretical results, the ellipsometric spectra of solution-processed CuO films doped by Ni ions (from 0 to 50 atom %) were fitted, and the optical constants were uniquely extracted. The optical conductivity has a linear increase with the Ni doping concentration, which results from the decreased electron traps. Besides, the band gap was found to be modulated in a range of 2.22–2.37 eV owing to the quantum confinement effects. The variation trend is confirmed by the first-principles calculation, where the computational indirect band gap is 1.27 and 1.79 eV for pure CuO and 50 atom % Ni-doped CuO. Four electronic transitions are observed at ∼2.75, 3.27, 4.01, and 4.90 eV, and the physical origins have been discussed.
