Recently great efforts have been focused on designing high-performance microwave absorbers using sustainable biomass resources, but there remains a lack of green and efficient fabrication methods. Herein, inspired by natural porous character of biomass waste, we demonstrated a green one-step route to convert waste coffee grounds into porous C/Fe hybrids, and further explored their potential applications for broadband and high-efficiency microwave absorption. In this design, the WCG-20–750 (incorporated 20 wt% Fe(C₅H₇O₂)₃ catalyst and carbonized at 750 °C) exhibited porous microstructure with the highest char yield of 55.45 wt%. Furthermore, the as-prepared C/Fe hybrids from WCG-20–750 displayed excellent microwave absorption performances. Typically, the minimum reflection loss (RL min ) reached to -52.86 dB and the widest effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) was 6.40 GHz at the thickness of 3.0 mm. This work provides an economically viable and environmentally friendly strategy to convert biomass wastes into value-added microwave absorbers, ultimately making contributions to the upcycling of renewable biomass resources and the fostering of sustainable environment.

The senescence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) impairs their regenerative capacity to maintain tissue homeostasis. Numerous studies are focusing on the interventions and mechanisms to attenuate the senescence of MSCs. C-phycocyanin (C-PC) is reported to have multiple functions such as antitumor, antioxidation, anti-inflammation and anti-aging roles, but there is little research about the effects of C-PC on the senescence of MSCs. Here we investigated the roles and mechanism of C-PC on MSCs senescence. In vitro results showed that C-PC could reduce senescence, enhance proliferation, promote the adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation in senescent MSCs induced by oxidative stress. In vivo D-Galactose (D-Gal) induced rats aging models showed C-PC also increased the viability and differentiation of intrinsic senescent bone marrow derived MSCs (BMSCs). Furthermore, C-PC also decreased the levels of oxidative stress markers ROS or MDA, elevated the SOD activity, and increased the anti-inflammatory factors. Proteomic chip analysis showed that C-PC interacted with ZDHHC5, and their interaction was verified by pull down assay. Overexpression of ZDHHC5 aggravated the senescence of MSCs and greatly lessened the beneficial effects of C-PC on senescence. In addition, we found ZDHHC5 regulated autophagy by altering LC3, Beclin1 and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. In summary, our data indicated that C-PC ameliorates the senescence of MSCs through zinc finger Asp-His-His-Cys (DHHC) domain-containing protein 5 (ZDHHC5) mediated autophagy via PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. The present study uncovered the key role of autophagy in MSCs senescence and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway may be a potential target for anti-senescence studies of MSCs.

In this study, we investigated the doping of Fe–N–C with ZnO (Fe–N–C@ZnO) to enhance its performance in the reduction of biological toxicity and degradation of enrofloxacin (ENR) in seawater. The steady-state/transient fluorescence analysis and free radical quenching test indicated an extremely low electron–hole recombination rate and the generation of reactive oxygen species in Fe–N–C@ZnO, leading to an improvement in the energy efficiency. We compared the ENR degradation efficiencies of Fe–N–C@ZnO and ZnO using both freshwater and seawater. In freshwater, Fe–N–C@ZnO exhibited a slightly higher degradation efficiency (95.00%) than ZnO (90.30%). However, the performance of Fe–N–C@ZnO was significantly improved in seawater compared to that of ZnO. The ENR degradation efficiency of Fe–N–C@ZnO (58.87%) in seawater was 68.39% higher than that of ZnO (34.96%). Furthermore, the reaction rate constant for ENR degradation by Fe–N–C@ZnO in seawater (7.31 × 10 −3 min −1 ) was more than twice that of ZnO (3.58 × 10 −3 min −1 ). Response surface analysis showed that the optimal reaction conditions were a pH of 7.42, a photocatalyst amount of 1.26 g L −1 , and an initial ENR concentration of 6.56 mg L −1 . Fe–N–C@ZnO prepared at a hydrothermal temperature of 128 °C and heating temperature of 300 °C exhibited the optimal performance for the photocatalytic degradation of ENR. Based on liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis, the degradation processes of ENR were proposed as three pathways: two piperazine routes and one quinolone route.

Associative learning is a critical survival trait that promotes behavioral plasticity in response to changing environments. Chemosensation and mechanosensation are important sensory modalities that enable animals to gather information about their internal state and external environment. However, there is a limited amount of research on these two modalities. In this paper, a novel PDMS–agar hybrid microfluidic device is proposed for training and analyzing chemical–mechanical associative learning behavior in the nematodeCaenorhabditis elegans. The microfluidic device consisted of a bottom agar gel layer and an upper PDMS layer. A chemical concentration gradient was generated on the agar gel layer, and the PDMS layer served to mimic mechanical stimuli. Based on this platform,C. eleganscan perform chemical–mechanical associative learning behavior after training. Our findings indicated that the aversive component of training is the primary driver of the observed associative learning behavior. In addition, the results indicated that the neurotransmitter octopamine is involved in regulating this associative learning behavior via the SER-6 receptor. Thus, the microfluidic device provides a highly efficient platform for studying the associative learning behavior ofC. elegans, and it may be applied in mutant screening and drug testing.Keywords:associative learning behavior;microfluidic device;Caenorhabditis elegans;octopamine

Acetamiprid (Ace), extensively employed in agricultural production as a substitute for organophosphorus pesticides, poses a potential threat to the environment and human health due to excessive residues. Hence, the development of reliable and convenient techniques to determine Ace levels in the environment holds significant importance. Among various assay methods, nanomaterial-based aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) have emerged as efficient and promising tools. In this study, we successfully developed a novel aptasensor for monitoring Ace in the environmental water, utilizing advanced nanomaterials known as Fe-N-C single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes). Fe-N-C SAzymes exhibited excellent catalytic activity, high stability, and complete atom utilization. A facile dual-confinement route was employed for the synthesis of Fe-N-C SAzymes, and their performance as oxidase-like nanozymes was investigated. The synthesized Fe-N-C SAzymes presented distinct oxidase-like activity and demonstrated the capability to interact with a chromogenic indicator-TMB, serving as the signal transduction element in our assay. Furthermore, we found that thiol-modified aptamers could effectively dampen the oxidase-like activity of Fe-N-C SAzymes.Therefore, we successfully developed a Fe-N-C SAzymes assisted detection method for Ace, which exhibited high sensitivity (LOD = 16.9 nM) and selectivity. Overall, this work provides new insights into the design of multifunctional Fe-N-C SAzymes for environmental and biological applications.

With the improvement in people’s living standards, the development and application of smart textiles are receiving increasing attention. In this study, a carbon nanosurface was successfully coated with a SiO2layer to form C@SiO2nanomaterials, which improved the dispersion of carbon nanomaterials in an aqueous solution and enhanced the absorption of light by the carbon nanoparticles. C@SiO2nanoparticles were coupled on the surface of silk fabric with the silane coupling agent KH570 to form C@SiO2nanosilk fabric. The silk fabric that was subjected to such surface modification was endowed with a special photothermal function. The results obtained with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed that C@SiO2nanoparticles were successfully modified on the surface of the silk fabric. In addition, under the irradiation of near-infrared light with a power of 20 W and a wavelength of 808 nm, the C@SiO2nanosilk fabric experienced rapid warming from 23 °C to 60 °C within 30 s. After subjecting the functional fabric to hundreds of photothermal experiments and multiple washes, the photothermal efficiency remained largely unchanged and proved to be durable and stable. In addition, the thermogravimetric (TG) analysis results showed that the C@SiO2nanoparticles contributed to the thermal stability of the silk fabric. The UV transmittance results indicated that C@SiO2nanofabric is UV-resistant. The silk modification method developed in this study is low-cost, efficient, and environmentally friendly. It has some prospects for future applications in the textile industry.

Ru clusters have great potential as excellent bifunctional catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR), but suffer from the difficulty of stabilization on the substrate and tuning the electronic environment. Herein, we present Ru clusters supported on N, S co-doped hollow carbon spheres (Ru/NSCS) by elaborately designed Ru–S bonds to anchor Ru clusters and optimize the surrounding coordination environment. The Ru/NSCS exhibits superior electrocatalytic performance for the HER and HzOR, where an ultrasmall overpotential of 40 mV and a working potential of −81 mV at 10 mA cm−2 can be achieved, respectively. The two-electrode system requires an applied voltage of only 26 mV to achieve 10 mA cm−2 and remains stable for 20 hours. Theoretical calculations reveal that the Ru–S bonds induce partial charge transfer from Ru clusters to the N, S co-doped carbon base, thus optimizing the adsorption energy of *H and dehydrogenation intermediates of N2H4.

Graphical C@TiO 2-x photocatalyst with oxygen vacancy and carbon doping co-structure prepared by heat treatment is reported. It provides the possibility of regulating semiconductor photocatalysts to degrade pollutants in wastewater based on an integrated strategy. Oxygen Vacancy (OVs) and carbon doping of the photocatalyst body will significantly enhance the photocatalytic efficiency. However, synchronous regulation of these two aspects is challenging. In this paper, a novel C@TiO 2-x photocatalyst was designed by coupling the surface defect and doping engineering of titania, which can effectively remove rhodamine B (RhB) and has a relatively high performance with wide pH range, high photocatalytic activity and good stability. Within 90 minutes, the photocatalytic degradation rate of RhB by C@TiO 2-x (94.1 % at 20 mg/L) is 28 times higher than that of pure TiO 2 . Free radical trapping experiments and electron spin resonance techniques reveal that superoxide radicals (⋅O 2− ) and photogenerated holes (h + ) play key roles in the photocatalytic degradation of RhB. This study demonstrates the possibility of regulating photocatalysts to degrade pollutants in wastewater based on an integrated strategy.

A kind of high yield and recyclable Cobalt–Carbon composite (Zn 1 Co 5 /P n C) was prepared by carbothermal reduction process, in which the cobalt acetate and zinc acetate were considered as Zn and Co precursors, and the polyester waste was evolved as the carbon precursor. The morphology, structure and composition of the composite were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Results showed that evaporation of zinc contributed to the formation of porous carbon structure, and the Co nanoparticles were wrapped and protected by the porous carbon matrix. The Zn 1 Co 5 /P n C activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) system (Zn 1 Co 5 /P n C/PMS) was constructed to degrade the levofloxacin (LEV). The activity and mechanism of LEV degradation was understood. The LEV degradation efficiency was high to 96.60% within 90 min in the presence of Zn 1 Co 5 /P 4 C. Moreover, the Zn 1 Co 5 /P 4 C still maintained favorable PMS activation performance after five-cycle runs. The results show that the Zn 1 Co 5 /P 4 C played positive role in activating the PMS, it may be due to the facts that the polyester derived carbon could supported the Co while the evaporated Zn could increase the surface area of Zn 1 Co 5 /P 4 C, leading to the increased activity. The possible degradation pathways were proposed by identifying the intermediate products through liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. This study put forward a promising method to use polyester waste to synthesize high yield cobalt-carbon composite for degrading the antibiotic in wastewater.

A series of LiFe 0.7 Mn 0.3−x Mg x PO 4 /C (x = 0, 0.02, 0.05, and 0.08) cathode materials were synthesized by a high-temperature solid-phase method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrochemical tests to determine the structural, morphological, and electrochemical properties of the synthesized materials. The experimental results showed that the small amount of Mg 2+ doping not only had no effect on the crystalline structure of the material but also significantly improved the electrochemical properties of the material. The LiFe 0.7 Mn 0.25 Mg 0.05 PO 4 /C material achieved specific discharge capacities of 163.2, 155.2, 149.1, and 142.0 mAh/g at 0.1C, 0.2C, 0.5C, and 1C, respectively, and a capacity retention rate of 98.6% after 50 cycles at 0.1C. It exhibited excellent rate performances and cycling stability. Electrochemical alternating-current impedance showed that the lithium-ion diffusion coefficient of the LiFe 0.7 Mn 0.25 Mg 0.05 PO 4 /C sample reached 1.19 × 10 −13 cm 2 /s, which was 4.1 times higher than that of the pre-modified sample. Combined with the cyclic voltammetry test results, it was found that the appropriate amount of Mg 2+ doping could reduce the impedance and polarization of the material as well as increase the conductivity and the lithium-ion diffusion rate, ultimately improving the electrochemical properties.

At present, Ru dopants mainly enhance electrocatalytic performance by inducing strain, vacancy, local electron difference, and synergy. Surprisingly, this work innovatively proposes that trace Ru atoms induce dual-reconstruction of phosphide by regulating the electronic configuration and proportion of Co-P/Co-O species, and ultimately activate superb electrocatalytic performance. Specifically, Ru-CoFeP@C/nickel foam (NF) is reconstructed to generate hydrophilic Co(OH) 2 nanosheets during the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) process, further accelerating the alkaline HER kinetics of phosphide. And the as-formed CoOOH during the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process directly accelerates the oxygen overflow efficiency. As expected, the overpotential at 100 mA·cm −2 ( η 100 ) values of the reconstructed Ru-CoFeP@C/NF are 0.104 and 0.257 V for HER and OER, which are greatly lower than that of Pt/C-NF and RuO 2 -NF benchmarks, respectively. This work provides guidance for the construction of high-performance catalysts for HER and OER dual reconstruction. This work provides a new idea for the optimization of catalyst structure and electrocatalytic performance.
