New urbanization is ushering in a surge in construction and amplifying a substantial demand for urban road development, simultaneously spurring innovation and development of environmentally sustainable power sources. Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), a revolutionary technology of energy conversion, efficiently capturing high-entropy energy from the environment and offering the advantages of self-powered and immediacy. Recognizing the critical need to store the energy harvested by TENGs, we present an integrated energy conversion and storage system that combines a loofah-based self-powered rotating TENG (LS-TENG) with a supercapacitor. The maximum instantaneous output power and the corresponding instantaneous power density of the LS-TENG are 0.75 mW and 202.69 mW/m 2 at 30 rpm. The supercapacitor, featuring carbon nanotube (CNT) interdigitated electrodes created through microelectronic printing technology, utilizes polyacrylamide (PAM)-lithium chloride (LiCl) as a gel electrolyte (adhesion strength of 16.69 kPa). The supercapacitor is seamlessly integrated onto the back of the LS-TENG’s stator, which effectively simplified the energy conversion and storage system. At a current density of 0.01 mA/cm 2 , the supercapacitor achieves a high volumetric capacitance of 341.47 mF/cm 3 , an energy density of 17.07 mWh/cm 3 , and a power density of 257.07 mW/cm 3 , with a remarkable capacitance retention rate of 99.12 % after 30,000 cycles at a current density of 0.02 mA/cm 2 . Furthermore, a concept demonstration of an integrated self-charging energy system is implemented, in which the supercapacitor can be charged at wind speed rate of 3.0 m/s. The proposed integrated energy storage and conversion system makes it ideal for converting and storing wind energy.

Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) are an innovative technology for the efficient degradation of antibiotics.Shewanella oneidensis(S. oneidensis) MR-1 plays a pivotal role in degrading sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in BESs. Our study investigated the effect of BES conditions on SMX degradation, focusing on microbial activity. The results revealed that BESs operating with a 0.05 M electrolyte concentration and 2 mA/cm2current density outperformed electrolysis cells (ECs). Additionally, higher electrolyte concentrations and elevated current density reduced SMX degradation efficiency. The presence of nutrients had minimal effect on the growth ofS. oneidensisMR-1 in BESs; it indicates thatS. oneidensisMR-1 can degrade SMX without nutrients in a short period of time. We also highlighted the significance of mass transfer between the cathode and anode. Limiting mass transfer at a 10 cm electrode distance enhancedS. oneidensisMR-1 activity and BES performance. In summary, this study reveals the complex interaction of factors affecting the efficiency of BES degradation of antibiotics and provides support for environmental pollution control.

Ultra-low friction is crucial for the anti-friction, anti-wear, and long-life operation of nanodevices. However, very few two-dimensional materials can achieve ultra-low friction, and they have some limitations in their applications. Therefore, exploring novel materials with ultra-low friction properties is greatly significant. The emergence of ternary two-dimensional materials has opened new opportunities for nanoscale ultra-low friction. This study introduced nickel phosphorous trisulfide (NiPS 3 , referred to as NPS), a novel two-dimensional ternary material capable of achieving ultralow friction in a vacuum, into the large nanotribology family. Large-size and high-quality NPS crystals with up to 14 mm × 6 mm × 0.3 mm dimensions were grown using the chemical vapor transport method. The NPS nanosheets were obtained using mechanical exfoliation. The dependence of the NPS nanotribology on layer, velocity, and angle was systematically investigated using lateral force microscopy. Interestingly, the coefficient of friction (COF) of NPS with multilayers was decreased to about 0.0045 under 0.005 Pa vacuum condition (with load up to 767.8 nN), achieving the ultra-low friction state. The analysis of the frictional dissipation energy and adhesive forces showed that NPS with multilayers had minimum frictional dissipation energy and adhesive forces since the interlayer interactions were weak and the meniscus force was excluded under vacuum conditions. This study on the nanoscale friction of a ternary two-dimensional material lays a foundation for exploring the nanoscale friction and friction origin of other two-dimensional materials in the future.

Nanofiltration is seen as a potential technique for desalination and purification of drinking water. Improving water permeability without compromising on the high rejection rate in nanofiltration membranes is a major challenge. This article describes interfacial polymerization (IP) mediated by tannic acid (TA)–MXene interlayer to prepare an ultrathin film composite membrane (TFCi) possessing negative surface charge and optimized water transport channel. Nanofiltration process and the formation of the polyamide surface layer are both dependent on the TA–MXene intermediate layer. It is capable of storing amine monomer, decelerating interfacial polymerization, and producing a 30-nm-thick polyamide selective layer devoid of defects. With a rejection rate of 96.0% for divalent ions and a permeation flux of 22.3 L m–2 h–1 bar–1, the nanofiltration membrane that was acquired exhibits exceptional performance and stability in the operation of long-term nanofiltration. In contrast to traditional TFC membranes, the TFCi membrane successfully overcomes the long-standing contradiction between permeability and selectivity. This study offers a straightforward method for fabricating TFC membranes that exhibit outstanding performance.

Achieving increasingly finely targeted drug delivery to organs, tissues, cells, and even to intracellular biomacromolecules is one of the core goals of nanomedicines. As the delivery destination is refined to cellular and subcellular targets, it is essential to explore the delivery of nanomedicines at the molecular level. However, due to the lack of technical methods, the molecular mechanism of the intracellular delivery of nanomedicines remains unclear to date. Here, we develop an enzyme-induced proximity labeling technology in nanoparticles (nano-EPL) for the real-time monitoring of proteins that interact with intracellular nanomedicines. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles coupled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were fabricated as a model (HRP(+)-PNPs) to evaluate the molecular mechanism of nano delivery in macrophages. By adding the labeling probe biotin-phenol and the catalytic substrate H 2 O 2 at different time points in cellular delivery, nano-EPL technology was validated for the real-time in situ labeling of proteins interacting with nanoparticles. Nano-EPL achieves the dynamic molecular profiling of 740 proteins to map the intracellular delivery of HRP (+)-PNPs in macrophages over time. Based on dynamic clustering analysis of these proteins, we further discovered that different organelles, including endosomes, lysosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum, and the Golgi apparatus, are involved in delivery with distinct participation timelines. More importantly, the engagement of these organelles differentially affects the drug delivery efficiency, reflecting the spatial–temporal heterogeneity of nano delivery in cells. In summary, these findings highlight a significant methodological advance toward understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in the intracellular delivery of nanomedicines.

The development of sustainable and anti-poisoning single-atom catalysts (SACs) is essential for advancing their research from laboratory to industry. Here, we present a proof-of-concept study on the poisoning of Au SACs, and the antidote of Au nanoparticles (NPs), with trace addition shown to reinforce and sustain propylene epoxidation. Multiple characterizations, kinetics investigations, and multiscale simulations reveal that Au SACs display remarkable epoxidation activity at a low propylene coverage, but become poisoned at higher coverages. Interestingly, Au NPs can synergistically cooperate with Au SACs by providing distinct active sites required for H 2 /O 2 and C 3 H 6 activations, as well as hydroperoxyl radical to restore poisoned SACs. The difference in reaction order between C 3 H 6 and H 2 (n C3H6 -n H2 ) is identified as the descriptor for establishing the volcano curves, which can be fine-tuned by the intimacy and composition of SACs and NPs to achieve a rate-matching scenario for the formation, transfer, and consumption of hydroperoxyl. Consequently, only trace addition of Au NPs antidote (0.3% ratio of SACs) stimulates significant improvements in propylene oxide formation rate, selectivity, and H 2 efficiency compared to SACs alone, offering a 56-fold, 3-fold, and 22-fold increase, respectively, whose performances can be maintained for 150 h.

The optimization of coal dust management in fluidized mining environments is of paramount importance, yet it is currently impeded by a gap in understanding chemical dust suppression mechanisms. This study combines indoor experiments with molecular simulation to investigate the mechanisms by which three anionic surfactants with different hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups (SDBS, SDS, and SLS) influence coal wettability. Using hydrophobic bituminous coal as the experimental subject, basic physical and chemical properties are analyzed through proximate analysis, XRD, and FTIR. The effect of different surfactants on coal wettability is characterized based on sedimentation experiments, while the coal–surfactant–water three-phase model examines the equilibrium adsorption configuration, water molecule diffusion coefficient, and interaction energy in different adsorption systems. The surface free energy of coal dust and its components is measured before and after surfactant adsorption, verifying the adsorption-wetting mechanism of surfactants at the coal–water interface. Results show that anionic surfactants enhance wettability through a bidirectional adsorption mechanism at the coal–water interface: the hydrophobic tail adheres to the coal surface via van der Waals forces, while the hydrophilic head faces the water phase, driven by electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions. This coordinated adsorption process alters water diffusion and the surface free energy of coal, thereby improving wettability. SDBS, due to its benzene ring, significantly amplifies the bidirectional adsorption effect, achieving the most substantial improvement in coal dust wettability. The findings provide a robust theoretical framework for developing dust control strategies in fluidized mining operations, advancing the field toward more efficient and sustainable mining practices.

Intracellular pH sensing is of importance and can be used as an indicator for monitoring the evolution of various diseases and the health of cells. Here, we developed a new class of surface-functionalized MXene quantum dots (QDs), Ti3C2, by the sonication cutting and hydrothermal approach and further explored their intracellular pH sensing. The functionalized Ti3C2 QDs exhibit bright excitation-dependent blue photoluminescence (PL) originating from the size effect and surface defects. Meanwhile, Ti3C2 QDs demonstrate a high PL response induced by the deprotonation of the surface defects. Furthermore, combining the highly pH sensitive Ti3C2 QDs with the pH insensitive [Ru(dpp)3]Cl2, we developed a ratiometric pH sensor to quantitatively monitor the intracellular pH values. These novel MXene quantum dots can serve as a promising platform for developing practical fluorescent nanosensors.

Inability to remove low-molecular-weight anthropogenic contaminants is a critical issue in low-pressure membrane filtration processes for water treatment. In this work, a novel electrochemical ceramic membrane filtration (ECMF) system using TiO2@SnO2–Sb anode was developed for removing persistent p-chloroaniline (PCA). Results showed that the ECMF system achieved efficient removal of PCA from contaminated waters. At a charging voltage of 3 V, the PCA removal rate of TiO2@SnO2–Sb ECMF system under flow-through mode was 2.4 times that of flow-by mode. The energy consumption for 50% of PCA removal for TiO2@SnO2–Sb ECMF at 3 V under flow-through mode was 0.38 Wh/L, much lower than that of flow-by operation (1.5 Wh/L), which was attributed to the improved utilization of the surface adsorbed HO· and dissociated HO· driven by the enhanced mass transfer of PCA toward the anode surface. Benefiting from the increased production of reactive oxygen species such as O2•–, H2O2, and HO· arising from excitation of anatase TiO2, TiO2@SnO2–Sb ECMF exhibited a superior electrocatalytic activity to the SnO2–Sb ECMF system. The degradation pathways of PCA initiated by OH· attack were further proposed, with the biodegradable short-chain carboxylic acids (mainly formic, acetic, and oxalic acids) identified as the dominant oxidized products. These results highlight the potential of the ECMF system for cost-effective water purification.

BACKGROUND In this study, a low-cost and environment-friendly alginate–chitosan hybrid adsorbent (depicted as Alg-Chi) was developed for the removal of Pb 2+ from water. RESULTS Experimental results showed that the Alg-Chi exhibits high selectivity and affinity for Pb 2+ . The selectivity coefficients of the Alg-Chi for Pb 2+ /Cr 3+ , Pb 2+ /Co 2+ Pb 2+ /Cd 2+ , Pb 2+ /Zn 2+ , and Pb 2+ /Cu 2+ are all >5. It can uptake 96.8% of Pb 2+ from Pb 2+ -containing solutions (1.5 mmol L −1 ), and the maximum adsorption capacity for Pb 2+ reaches 468.5 mg g −1 , which is higher than that of most reported adsorbents for Pb 2+ . Moreover, the Alg-Chi can also be regenerated via simple acid elution and used repeatedly without loss in adsorption ability. CONCLUSIONS Analysis of the adsorption mechanism indicated that the Alg-Chi adsorbed Pb 2+ mainly through ion exchange and chemical coordination. Green and low-cost raw materials, simple preparation process, efficient removal efficiency and recyclable, these characteristics give the synthetic Alg-Chi broad application prospects in the field of Pb 2+ -containing wastewater treatment. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry

The electronic balance, one of the most common pieces of equipment in the laboratory, is normally used to directly measure the weight of a target with high accuracy. However, little attention has been paid to the extension of its applications. In this study, an electronic balance was used as a readout to develop a novel aptasensor for protein quantification for the first time. Thrombin was selected as a model target, and its two aptamers recognizing different sites of the protein were used (one aptamer was immobilized on the surface of magnetic microparticles and the other aptamer was functionalized with platinum nanoparticles). The two aptamers were specifically bound with the thrombin to form a sandwich structure; thus, the platinum nanoparticles were linked to the magnetic microparticles, and they were separated by a magnet easily. The captured platinum nanoparticles effectively catalyzed the decomposition of H2O2, generating a large volume of O2 to discharge a certain amount of water in a drainage device, because the pressure in the vial is higher than that outside of the vial. The weight of water was accurately measured by an electronic balance. The weight of water increased with the increasing of the thrombin concentration in the range of 0 to 100 nM with a detection limit of 2.8 nM. This is the first time the use of an electronic balance as a signal readout for biomolecule quantitation in bioassay has been reported.

A non-invasive method for detecting glucose is pursued by millions of diabetic patients to improve their personal management of blood glucose. In this work, a novel CuO nanoparticles (NPs) decorated polycaprolactone@polypyrrole fibers modified indium-tin oxide (denoted as CuO/PCL@PPy/ITO) electrode has been fabricated by electrospinning combined with the electrodeposition method for non-enzymatic detection of glucose in saliva fluid. The electrospun composite fibers exhibit high sensitivity for the glucose detection.
