In this study, novel dual-emission Au nanoclusters (BSA@CDs-BSA-AuNCs) were developed via a two-step in-situ synthesis strategy. Step one, bovine serum albumin (BSA) doped carbon dots (BSA@CDs) covalently bound to BSA under the coupling effect of N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) to obtain BSA@CDs-functionalized BSA (BSA@CDs-BSA); step two, in-situ synthesis of Au nanoclusters using BSA@CDs-BSA as template was conducted and BSA@CDs-BSA-AuNCs with a size of 30 nm and two characteristic emission peaks at 450 and 675 nm confirmed to be attributed to BSA@CDs and BSA-templated AuNCs (BSA-AuNCs) respectively were fabricated, presenting an emission separation of 225 nm. The prepared nanoclusters were fully characterized. Notably, the two characteristic emission peaks both have been redshifted compared to the original BSA@CDs and BSA-AuNCs respectively, due to possible charge transfer occurred between BSA ligand and the above two fluorophores. Further, it has been applied to establish an original ratiometric fluorescence sensor for p-nitrophenol (p-NP) detection with excellent performance, which has not been reported in literatures.

Fresh pork is easily contaminated by microorganisms, leading to spoilage. Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) cold plasma technology has shown significant advantages in the preservation of meat. However, severe lipid oxidation of pork resulting from DBD treatment greatly limits its development. Herein, the antibacterial D@MSNs-P/PCL nanofiber membranes were prepared by modification polycaprolactone (PCL) with pre-reported nanomaterials (D@MSNs-P) through electrostatic spinning. Compared with the PCL membranes, the D@MSNs-P/PCL membranes showed better water stability, lower water vapor transmission rate, stronger hydrophobicity, and potent antibacterial activity. The D@MSNs-P/PCL membranes can be used for wrapping fresh pork before treatment with DBD plasma, which can not only improve the antibacterial efficiency but effectively inhibit the lipid oxidation and color change of fresh pork, extending the shelf life for 2 days. The developed D@MSNs-P/PCL membranes can also be used alone to preserve other fresh meat or oily food, with a wide range of application prospects.

The Ni-P-WS 2 composite coatings with prominent structures were constructed by composite electrodeposition by adding tungsten disulfide (WS 2 ) nanoparticles to the electroplating solution. Modification of the Ni-P-WS 2 composite coating with hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS) is going to achieve the superhydrophobic effect. The successful construction of the superhydrophobic surface was demonstrated by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and contact angle measurement (CA). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to investigate the corrosion resistance. The finding indicates that hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS) reduces the surface energy of the Ni-P-WS 2 composite coating, generates a film on its rough surface, blocks the corrosive medium, and improves the corrosion resistance of the composite coating. The Ni-P-WS 2 nanocomposite coating’s water contact angle is 156.8° and its sliding angle is 8° at 3 g/L of WS 2 particle concentration. And the composite plating has the highest self-corrosion potential ( E corr = − 0.285 V) and the lowest self-corrosion current density ( i corr = 3.206 μA cm −2 ), with a better corrosion resistance. In addition, the prepared superhydrophobic coating showed excellent corrosion resistance under the hydrophobic barrier and the layer barrier of WS 2 nanosheets.

The inferior hole injection efficiency in blue perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs), caused by the large hole injection barrier and low hole mobility of conventional hole transport layers (HTLs), remains a critical limitation to achieving higher external quantum efficiency (EQE) and device stability. To address this challenge, we propose a rational interfacial engineering strategy employing p-type molecular doping to optimize device performance. By incorporating 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7',8,8'-tetracyanodimethyl-p-benzoquinone (F4TCNQ) as a dopant in the poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-N-(4-butylphenyl)diphenylamine) (TFB) HTL, we significantly enhance hole mobility from 3.96×10⁻⁶ to 1.13×10⁻⁴ cm²/(V·s) and adjust the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level from -5.40 to -5.56 eV, facilitating efficient hole carrier injection and transport. Additionally, perovskite films deposited on the doped HTL exhibit improved crystallinity and a reduced defect density from 3.47×10¹⁸ to 3.18×10¹⁷ cm⁻³. Owing to these synergistic improvements, the optimized blue PeLEDs achieve a maximum EQE of 4.57% with an emission peak at 484 nm, representing a 4.02-fold enhancement over the pristine device. This work highlights the effectiveness of molecular doping in tailoring interfacial properties and balancing charge transport for high-performance blue PeLEDs.

Of diverse NH 3 gas-detection strategies applied in the fields of individual healthcare and industrial production, chemiresistive gas sensors gain the most popularity owing to the superior merits of low cost, convenient signal processing and high sensitivity. However, severe challenges still exist such as elevated operation temperature (>200 °C), limited sensitivity and unsatisfactory selectivity especially under low-concentration and high-humidity conditions. To overcome these hindrances, a sensing layer of black phosphorus nanosheets (BP)-modified α-MoO 3 nanoflakes was prepared in this work. After subtle optimization of ingredient composition and operation temperature, the composite sensor S2 could recognize NH 3 gas with the concentration spanning from 0.4 to 25 ppm at 40 °C. In particular, a larger mean response (27 % vs. ∼ 2.3 %) with a response/recovery speed of 275/388 s toward 10 ppm NH 3 and lower detection of limit (LoD, 0.4 ppm vs. 10 ppm) was achieved with respect to pure BP counterpart. In addition, excellent repeatability, selectivity, long-term stability and humidity-tolerant features were demonstrated for Sensor S2 . The improved sensing performance after α-MoO 3 incorporation was primarily ascribed to abundant p-n heterojunctions, excellent conductivity of BP and hydrophilic MoO 3 that mitigated the water corrosion effect on susceptible BP nanosheets. This work offers an alternative strategy for sensitive and low-temperature NH 3 detection, and well cater for the demanding requirements of high sensitivity and low-power consumption in the field of novel gas sensors applicable in the future Internet of Things and exhaled breath-oriented medical diagnosis.

The nanomaterials have been deeply explored as flame retardants for various polymeric materials due to their multifunctionality, but they often fail to significantly increase the limiting oxygen index (LOI) and vertical burning UL-94 rating, thus unable to meet industrial needs (LOI>27.0 % and UL-94 V-0 rating). Herein, we fabricated a cerium/phosphorus-doped g-C 3 N 4 (Ce/P-CN) nanohybrid as a multifunctional high-efficiency fire retardant for acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS). The Ce/P-CN nanoflakes featured a strengthening effect towards ABS, 10 wt% of which increased the tensile strength of ABS/(Ce/P-CN) by 33.8 %. Meanwhile, the ABS/(Ce/P-CN) nanocomposites showed remarkably enhanced high-temperature stability and carbonization performances relative to virgin ABS. Ce/P-CN simultaneously improved the anti-ignition, fire retardancy and smoke suppression of ABS due to the barrier effect of g-C 3 N 4 nanoflakes and the catalytic carbonization effect of cerium and phosphorus. Notably, adding 10 wt% Ce/P-CN increased the LOI and UL-94 rating of ABS to 28.6 % and V-0, respectively, demonstrating its high flame-retardant efficiency. Thus, the high flame-retardant efficiency and multifunctionality enable Ce/P-CN to outperform previous flame retardants for ABS. This work offers a novel strategy for the development of high-efficiency g-C 3 N 4 nanoflakes, which endow ABS with improved mechanical robustness and fire retardancy and show broad industrial prospects.

Hypoxanthine (Hx) and pH are important indicators for evaluating the freshness of aquatic products, and their rapid assessment can maximize public food safety and minimize economic losses. A nanozymes-loaded smart responsive hydrogel compound provides a new strategy for rapidly assessing the freshness of aquatic products. Accordingly, this paper reports the preparation of a hydrogel compound with pH responsiveness and peroxidase (POD) activity using a one-step method. In this method, sodium alginate, chitosan, and gelatin are used as the raw materials and Fe,Co,P-CDs (CDs) with POD activity as well as 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine and H 2 O 2 are simultaneously introduced as substrates. The hydrogel compound transforms from a solid to a sol based on its pH response (pH = 6.5–8.0), and its color changes from blue to colorless because of its Hx response to the inhibition of the POD activity of CDs. The color difference shows a good linear relationship with the Hx concentration in the range of 1.5–1500 μM, with a detection limit of 1.48 μM and an excellent recovery rate of practical samples. Based on the pH enhancement and Hx accumulation during the spoilage of shrimps, naked-eye and smartphone-assisted, real-time monitoring of the freshness of shrimp has been realized through the morphology and color changes of the hydrogel compound. This dual-response hydrogel compound provides a new strategy for monitoring the freshness of aquatic products with great potential in food safety monitoring.

P–TiOn–VOm nanowires were grown on nickel foam (NF) via a one-pot hydrothermal method and by further vapor deposition/phosphorization method. It was found that low valence states of titanium oxide and deficient-oxygen coexist in P–TiOn–VOm/NF. Furthermore, (TiO1.25)3.07 (denoted as TiOn) and VO (denoted as VOm) possess similar structures and matched facets, and their epitaxial growth leads to the formation of TiOn/VOm heterostructure with a formation energy of −1.59 eV. P–TiOn–VOm/NF possesses good electron conductivity and electrons can be transferred from Ti to V centers, as evidenced by the DFT calculations and the XPS spectra. As a result, the specific capacity of P–TiOn–VOm/NF can reach 785 C g−1 at 1 A g−1 in the potential range of 0–0.55 V vs. Hg/HgO, which is much larger than those of VOm/NF, P–VOm/NF, and P–TiO2–VOm/NF. On the other hand, the TiOn/VOm heterostructure also favors the separation and transfer of photoinduced electrons and holes, and P–TiOn–VOm/NF exhibits visible-light-driven photoresponse. Under visible light illumination, the specific capacity of P–TiOn–VOm/NF is increased by 6.2% relative to that in the dark. Furthermore, the P–TiOn–VOm/NF//activated carbon (AC) asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) shows an energy density of 37.2 W h kg−1 at a power density of 1 kW kg−1 and excellent cycling performance with 93.6% capacity retention after 10 000 cycles at 5 A g−1, which is comparable to and even superior to those of titanium oxides and vanadium oxides. A promising achievement has been proposed to improve the energy storage performance of P–TiOn–VOm through P-functionalization and O-deficiency in this work.

Renewable β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was immobilized onto the surface of hybrid silica using ethylenediamine as linking groups to construct an adsorbent in water treatment (CD@Si), and the obtained CD@Si was characterized through FT-IR, XPS, EDX, contact angle measurement, TGA, solid-state 13C NMR, SEM, and XRD analyses. The effect of initial pH, contact time on the adsorption performance of CD@Si for p-nitrophenol, and the adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms, adsorption thermodynamics, reusability and adsorption mechanism were investigated systematically, which indicate that the adsorption of p-nitrophenol onto CD@Si is a very fast process. The adsorption equilibrium can be reached in 15 s with an acceptable equilibrium adsorption capacity of 69.6 mg g−1 at pH 7.0, which is much faster than many reported adsorbents based on β-CD. The adsorption of p-nitrophenol onto CD@Si follows the pseudo-second-order model, obeys the Freundlich model, and is a feasible, spontaneous, and exothermic process which is more favorable at lower temperatures. And the formation of an inclusion complex and a hydrogen bond interaction are two origins of p-nitrophenol being adsorbed onto CD@Si. Additionally, CD@Si can be recycled and reused for at least five runs with an acceptable adsorption capacity, and is a very promising adsorbent for the fast adsorption of p-nitrophenol or its analogues from the aqueous phase. Additionally, this work also provides a strategy to increase the adsorption rate of adsorbents based on β-CD.

Nanofiltration (NF) is a promising technology for fast molecular and ionic separation. Pore engineering is a critical but challenging strategy to fabricate NF membranes with high permeability and precise sieving ability. Herein, we proposed a post-modification approach to regulate the pore size of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) composite NF membranes by using a small molecule p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) as a modifier. First, GQDs were used as the aqueous phase monomer of interfacial polymerization to react with trimesoyl chloride within the pores of the porous substrate, thereby fabricating large-pore-size GQDs composite NF membranes. After that, the self-polymerization of PABA within the pores of GQDs NF membranes would form nanoaggregates with different sizes, thus finely tuning the pore size of the as-prepared membrane. The PABA-modified membranes exhibited a range of pore sizes from 2.18 to 1.50 nm with the increased concentration of PABA. Specifically, the optimal PABA-modified membrane showed high water permeance of 128.1 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 and complete interception of 1000 Da-higher dye molecules, with desirable dye/salt selectivity factors of 877.0 and 175.4 for Alcian Blue/Na 2 SO 4 and Evans Blue/Na 2 SO 4 separation systems, respectively. Moreover, the membranes exhibited outstanding physicochemical stability. This study provides a facile method for pore size regulation of NF membranes.

High sensitivity, highly integrated, low-power consumption, and highly flexible pressure sensors are essential for applications in fields such as electronic skin, smart robotics, and human-AI interaction. In this study, a highly sensitive integrated pressure sensor was prepared on a flexible PI substrate which includes a thin-film transistors (TFTs)-based amplifier with a P(VDF-TrFE)/BaTiO3 piezoelectric composite sensing unit. The sensing unit is connected to the extended gate of one In-doped ZnO (IZO) TFT, while the other IZO TFT serves as a load resistor for the amplifier. The integrated sensor can directly convert an external pressure applied to P(VDF-TrFE)/BaTiO3 composite into a voltage (or current) signal and amplify it without an additional charge amplifier. The results indicate the integrated sensor exhibits a low power consumption of 100 ~ 200 μW, a high sensitivity of 0.64 V/kPa, and a rapid response time of 20 ms. The integrated sensor can be used to detect human movements and vital signs in real time, such as finger bending and stretching, pulse, and vocal cord vibrations, suggesting that the integrated sensor has a great deal of promise for application in wearable health monitoring systems.

BiPO 4 /BiOCl p-n heterojunction photocatalysts were successfully prepared by a facile in situ chemical transformation method with the aim of degrading rhodamine B under simulated sunlight. X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy , ultraviolet–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy , photoluminescence , and electrochemistry tests were used to characterized the structure, morphology, optical properties , and inhibited recombination of photoinduced charges. BiPO 4 /BiOCl composites exhibited significantly higher photocatalytic activity for the degradation of rhodamine B than pure BiOCl, and the apparent rate constant is 3.18 times higher than that of BiOCl. The significantly increased photocatalytic activity of the BiPO 4 /BiOCl composites can be ascribed to the formation of a p-n heterojunction , which can effectively boost the separation of photoinduced electron-hole pairs during the photocatalytic process. Additionally, the main active species were investigated and a plausible mechanism is proposed.
