A novel composite double-layer film was developed using TiO 2 /La(OH) 3 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nanoparticles (P25/UC) and porous-hollow TiO 2 microspheres (PHTS) for highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). P25/UC was used as the first layer and coated onto fluorine-doped tin oxide glass substrate to create a good contact and upconversion effect. The P25/UC layer can absorb and convert infrared light into visible red and green light, increasing light utilization. PHTS has a large size and a high specific surface area, was deposited onto the surface of the P25/UC film to improve the light scattering performance and dye adsorption of solar cells. The P25/UC composite double-layer film (P25/UC + PHTS) achieved the highest short-circuit current density of 20.33 mA/cm 2 and photoelectron conversion efficiency of 8.89% due to the synergistic effect of the upconversion layers and light-scattering layers, which increased by 51.26% and 38.04% compared with that of the pure P25 film photoelectrode.

In this paper, Yb 3+ /Er 3+ co-doped hexagonal NaYF 4 have been successfully synthesized by solvothermal, thermal decomposition, hydrothermal and molten salt method, respectively. The crystal structures, particle morphologies, sizes and corresponding upconversion luminescent properties of β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nano/microcrystals are systemically studied. It is interesting to observed that the temperature-dependent UC luminescent properties of β-NaYF 4 :20 %Yb 3+ , 2 %Er 3+ samples are strongly related to their synthesis methods. Comparison of the upconversion luminescence and thermal sensitivity between the β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ samples reveals that β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ sub-microplates synthesized by thermal decomposition method have much stronger green emission intensity, better luminescent thermal stability and higher temperature sensitivity. This findings are relevant to the application of β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ in optical temperature sensors and to the further understanding of the UC luminescent mechanism.

Nitrogen-doped porous carbons with uniformed pore structure and large surface area are promising materials as sorbents for acidic gases and electrocatalysts for oxygen-related reactions. Herein, we report the synthesis of nitrogen-doped porous carbon (NPC) materials through carbonization of imidazole-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) at 900 °C followed by removal of POSS blocks. The imidazole moieties act as both nitrogen and carbon sources and the POSS blocks are nano-sized hard templates. The resulting NPC has a surface area of 980 m 2 g −1 with average pore size of 4.7 nm and the pyridinic nitrogen in the formed NPC contribute to about 33% of overall nitrogen species. The carbon dioxide adsorption property and the electrocatalytic performance toward oxygen reduction reaction of the formed NPC are further evaluated. The formed NPC materials exhibit a total carbon dioxide adsorption capacity of 0.30 mmolg −1 at 30 °C under the partial pressure of carbon dioxide of 0.2 bar. Although the formed NPC is less active than commercial Pt/C catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction, the half-wave potential shifts to the negative side by only about 10 mV after 10000 cycling tests, demonstrating the great stability of the formed NPC materials.

A capillary micro-reaction was established for the synthesis of Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles (NPs) with a flexible and controllable composition and grain size by tuning the synthesis temperature, the residence time, or the mole ratio of Au 3+ :Ag + . By extending the residence time from 5 to 900 s, enhancing the temperature from 120°C to 160°C, or decreasing the mole ratio of Au 3+ :Ag + from 1:1 to 1:20, the composition of samples was changed continuously from Au-rich to Ag-rich. The particles became large with the increase of the residence time; however, synthesis temperatures showed less effect on the particle size change. The particle size of the Au-Ag alloy NPs with various composition could be kept by adjusting the mole ratio of Au 3+ :Ag + . TEM observation displayed that the as-obtained NPs were sphere-like with the smallest average size of 4.0 nm, which is half of those obtained by the traditional flask method.

This paper introduces a novel hybrid material, MoS 2 @Ag@PA, with a core–shell structure aimed at improving the fire safety and critical properties of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). The incorporation of 2% of this hybrid material results in a remarkable enhancement in both thermal conductivity and tensile strength of EVA composites, increasing by 52.4% and 22.6%, respectively. Furthermore, the inclusion of 2% of this material leads to a significant reduction in the peak of heat release rate, total heat release, and total smoke production of the EVA composites by 36.2%, 28.1%, and 29.7%, respectively, compared to pure EVA. This indicates a substantial improvement in fire safety, mechanical properties, and thermal conductivity of the EVA composites. The enhanced flame retardancy of the EVA composites is primarily attributed to the synergistic effect of various substances within the hybrid material. Therefore, the design of these hybrids presents a promising approach to enhance the overall performance of EVA.

The microenvironment regulation of Fe-N 4 single atom catalysts (SACs) critically governs peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. Although conventional heteroatom substitution in primary coordination enhances activity, it disrupts Fe-N 4 symmetry and compromises stability. Herein, we propose oxygen doping in the secondary coordination shell to construct Fe-N 4 -C 6 O 2 SAC, which amplifies the localized electric field while preserving the pristine coordination symmetry, thus trading off its activity and stability. This approach suppresses Fe-N bond structural deformation (bond amplitude reduced from 0.875–3.175 Å to 0.925–2.975 Å) during PMS activation by lowering Fe center electron density to strengthen Fe-N bond, achieving extended catalytic durability (>240 h). Simultaneously, the weakened coordination field lowers the Fe=O σ* orbital energy, promoting electrophilic σ-attack of high-valent iron-oxo towards bisphenol A, and increasing its degradation rate by 41.6-fold. This work demonstrates secondary coordination engineering as a viable strategy to resolve the activity-stability trade-off in SAC design, offering promising perspectives for developing environmental catalysts.

In recent years, the control of volatile N -nitrosamines (NAs) has been of interest in the pharmaceutical and food industries, as many of these compounds are probable human carcinogens. Thus, rapid and trace-level quantitative determination methods are in urgent demand. In this work, ambient pressure ammonium-adduct ionization mass spectrometry was proposed for the sensitive detection of volatile nitrosamines in various pharmaceutical headspaces. The ammonium ions produced through electrospray ionization acted as reactant ions for NAs to generate ammonium–NA adduct ions and underwent in-source collision-induced dissociation to produce protonated NAs, which were detected by mass spectrometry. The ionization selectivity and sensitivity for various volatile NAs were improved significantly using the developed method, which was demonstrated by the limit of quantification (LOQ) below 52 ng L −1 for all NAs, and the quantitative performance was consequently improved. Different NAs exhibited almost equimolar response using NH 4 + as the reactant ion, with at least a twofold enhancement in intensity for the individual compounds relative to when using H + as the reactant ion. The proposed method is a rapid, sensitive, and environmentally economical approach that uses few reagents.

Economically and conveniently removing Mg 2+ from ZnSO 4 solution has become increasingly important in view of the economic significance of zinc extractive metallurgy. In this paper, the role of surface charge in the removal of Mg 2+ by the fluorination method to form MgF 2 was investigated. According to the experimental results, both positively charged and negatively charged MgF 2 surfaces resulted in an increased zinc loss ratio. At the point of the zero-charged MgF 2 surface, when the pH is 2.3, the minimum zinc loss ratio of only 3.6% can be achieved and the removal ratio of Mg 2+ can reach 81.0%. Furthermore, the role of surface charge on the size of colloidal MgF 2 particles was clarified. Finally, the effect of centrifugation parameters on the separation of MgF 2 colloids from ZnSO 4 solution was investigated and the optimized conditions were 4000 rpm and 10 min.

Cuproptosis is an emerging mode of programmed cell death for tumor suppression but sometimes gets resisted by tumor cells resist under specific mechanisms. Inhibiting copper transporter ATPase (ATP7A) was found to disrupt copper ion homeostasis, thereby enhancing the effect of cuproptosis and eventually inhibiting tumor invasion and metastasis. In this study, we develop a multifunctional nanoplatfrom based on Cu 9 S 8 (CAPSH), designed to enhance cuproptosis in tumor cells by specifically targeting ATP7A interference, while combining thermodynamic therapy with immune effects. The release of copper ions from CAPSH and the copper homeostasis interference by siRNA cooperatively increases the concentration of copper ions in tumor cells, which induces effectively cuproptosis and activates immune responses for suppressing development and metastasis of tumor. This nanoplatform simultaneously regulates cuproptosis from both principles of onset and development, facilitating the application of cuproptosis in tumor therapy.

Polymeric micelle systems for drug delivery, monitor and chemotherapy have gained significant attention, and reductive polymeric micelle systems have become particularly attractive due to their controlled release behavior without additional assistance. However, there are challenges in accurately controlling drug and probe release from the nanoparticles and determining the loading content of drug and probe. To address these issues, we have developed a reduction-responsive Pt(IV) prodrug-based polymeric delivery system that can be dynamically monitored using aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIE) based bioprobes. These polymeric micelle can self-assemble into nanoparticles and release both bio-active Pt(II) drug and bio-probe upon reduction activation. TPE molecules released in the inner endo/lysosomal microenvironment aggregate and fluoresce upon irradiation, thus allowing real-time tracking of drug biodistribution without additional contrast agents. Advantages of this system include position-specific chemical bond cleavage, control of platinum content, and monitoring of drug reduction and biodistribution.

Photovoltaic (PV) power generation is highly regarded for its capability to transform solar energy into electrical power. However, in real-world applications, PV modules are prone to issues such as increased self-heating and surface dust accumulation, which contribute to a reduction in photoelectric conversion efficiency. Furthermore, elevated temperatures can adversely affect the components’ operational longevity. To augment the efficiency and extend the lifespan of PV modules, it is crucial to implement cooling strategies and periodic surface dust removal. In this research, we introduce a composite PV module design that amalgamates a hygroscopic hydrogel with self-cleaning attributes. The design incorporates a superhydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film as its exposed surface layer and employs a PAM-CaCl 2 -SiC hygroscopic hydrogel for rear cooling. This arrangement is intended to facilitate efficient surface self-cleaning and passive cooling of the composite PV module. Experimental studies were conducted to evaluate the performance of this innovative composite PV module design, and the results showed that the composite PV panel had an increase of about 1.39% in power generation compared to an ordinary PV panel in the spring of Shenzhen, China.

An innovative method is introduced based on the combination of label-free surface-enhanced Raman scattering with advanced multivariate analysis. This technique allows both quantitative and qualitative assessment of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli on eggshells. Using silver nanocubes embedded in polydimethylsiloxane, we consistently achieved Raman spectra of bacteria. The stability of the Ag NCs@PDMS substrate is confirmed using rhodamine 6G over 30 days under standard conditions. Principal component analysis (PCA) effectively distinguishes between S. typhimurium and E. coli spectra. Partial least squares regression (PLS) models were developed for quantitative determination of bacteria on egg surfaces, yielding accurate results with minimal error. The S. typhimurium model achieves R c 2 = 0.9563 and RMSEC = 0.601 in calibration, and R v 2 = 0.9113 and RMSEV = 0.907 in validation. Similarly, the E. coli model achieves R c 2 = 0.9877 and RMSEC = 0.322 in calibration, and R v 2 = 0.9606 and RMSEV = 0.579 in validation. Recoveries validate PLS predictions by inoculating egg surfaces with varying bacterial amounts. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of SERS-PLS for quantitative determination of S. typhimurium and E. coli on eggshells, promising enhanced food safety protocols. Graphical Abstract
