It is essential to synthesize a versatile organic solvent/water separation material with excellent stability and durability. Superwetting materials, known for their multiple practical functionalities in everyday life and industrial production, have been receiving special concern for years. In this paper, the multifunctional superhydrophobic surface has been successfully prepared by coating polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) onto three-dimensional nest-like Co-Ni layered double hydroxides (LDHs) using fabrics as a substrate (N Co-Ni LDHs/PDMS). The hierarchical nest-like structure of Co-Ni LDHs promotes the formation of abundant air cushions and enhances self-cleaning ability under liquid, which is beneficial to the efficient separation of organic solvent/water mixture. The results fabrics (superhydrophilic N Co-Ni LDHs and superhydrophobic N Co-Ni LDHs/PDMS) exhibit a high separation efficiency of 99.1 % and a flux of 11400 L m −2 h −1 for n-hexane, kerosene, cyclohexane, tetrachloroethylene and tetrachloromethane. The separation efficiency is above 99.0 % and flux is above 10200 L m −2 h −1 after 10 cycles of separation. The superhydrophobic N Co-Ni LDHs/PDMS can load 21 times its own weight and sail on water at a velocity of 60 cm s −1 . Additionally, the superhydrophobic fabrics display excellent chemical stability and mechanical durability. The as-fabricated fabrics are suitable for application in organic solvent/water separation.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by the disruption of the intestinal epithelial barrier. This study described the synthesis and characterization of CCM-Co-ZIF-8, a novel composite material with enzyme-like activities similar to catalase, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase. CCM-Co-ZIF-8 demonstrated the ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species that play a critical role in UC pathogenesis. In vitro studies using lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW264.7 cells showed that CCM-Co-ZIF-8 exhibited anti-inflammatory activity by promoting the transition of macrophages from an M1 to an M2 phenotype. In vivo experiments using a mouse model of UC demonstrated that CCM-Co-ZIF-8 suppressed the expression of proinflammatory cytokines. These findings suggested that CCM-Co-ZIF-8 might hold promise as a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of UC.

Knowledge regarding the combined toxicity mechanism of bisphenol compounds and microplastics (MPs) on organisms remains limited. In this study, we first developed an accurate and sensitive method to simultaneously quantify two bisphenol compounds and evaluate their accumulation and tissue distribution after co-exposure with MPs in zebrafish. Then, we determined the bioaccumulation potential of bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol S (BPS) in adult zebrafish in the absence and presence of MPs. Bisphenol compounds were found to accumulate in different tissues of zebrafish, with BPS showing lower accumulation levels compared to BPA. Importantly, we discovered that the presence of MPs could exacerbate the accumulation of bisphenol compounds in biological tissues. These findings highlight the enhanced bioavailability and risk posed by the co-exposure of bisphenol compounds and MPs, underscoring the need for further investigation into their combined environmental and biological health impacts.

Background:Temozolomide (TMZ) is the first-line therapy for glioblastoma (GBM), but its clinical efficacy is limited by its short half-life, poor brain targeting, adverse side effects, and the development of drug resistance. Ligustilide (LIG) has been shown to enhance blood-brain barrier permeability and reduce P-glycoprotein activity, thereby potentiating the synergistic effect of TMZ against GBM.Methods:The dual-drug-loaded nanoparticles encapsulating both TMZ and LIG (TMZ/LIG-NPs) were prepared using Poly (d,l-lactic-co-glycolide)-monomethoxy poly (ethylene glycol) (PLGA-mPEG). The physicochemical properties of the NPs, including particle size and zeta potential, were characterized. Cellular uptake of NPs was evaluated using flow cytometry and fluorescence staining. The pharmacokinetic profile and cytotoxicity of TMZ/LIG-NPs were compared to those of free TMZ and a mixture of TMZ and LIG in rat and glioma cells, respectively.Results:The mean particle size of TMZ/LIG-NPs was 117.6 ± 0.7 nm, with a zeta potential of −26.5 ± 0.4 mV. Cellular uptake of NPs was significantly higher than that of free drug in U251 cells. Encapsulation of TMZ in NPs significantly increased its half-life by 1.62-fold compared to free TMZ and significantly improved its pharmacokinetic profile. Moreover, the storage stability of the TMZ/LIG-NPs solution was extended to one month. The toxicity of TMZ/LIG-NPs to glioma cells C6 and U251 was markedly enhanced compared to the mixture of TMZ and LIG.Conclusions:The development of TMZ/LIG-NPs using PLGA-mPEG effectively enhanced the stability and efficacy of both TMZ and LIG. This dual drug-loaded nanoparticle system represents a promising strategy for glioblastoma therapy.

Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) can cause a variety of malignancies. Ganciclovir (GCV) is one of the most efficient drugs against KSHV, but its non-specificity can cause other side effects in patients. Nucleic acid miR-34a-5p can inhibit the transcription of KSHV RNA and has great potential in anti-KSHV therapy, but there are still problems such as easy degradation and low delivery efficiency. Here, we constructed a co-loaded dual-drug nanocomplex (GCV@ZIF-8/PEI-FA+miR-34a-5p) that containsGCVinternally and adsorbs miR-34a-5p externally. The folic acid (FA)-coupled polyethyleneimine (PEI) coating layer (PEI-FA) was shown to increase the cellular uptake of the nanocomplex, which is conducive to the enrichment of drugs at the KSHV infection site.GCVand miR-34a-5p are released at the site of the KSHV infection through the acid hydrolysis characteristics of ZIF-8 and the “proton sponge effect” of PEI. The co-loaded dual-drug nanocomplex not only inhibits the proliferation and migration of KSHV-positive cells but also decreases the mRNA expression level of KSHV lytic and latent genes. In conclusion, this co-loaded dual-drug nanocomplex may provide an attractive strategy for antiviral drug delivery and anti-KSHV therapy.

It is important to develop efficient catalysts for improving performance and reducing the cost of direct methanol fuel cells, very promising power sources for portable devices and vehicles. Composition optimization and shape control are two effective strategies to develop high-performance catalysts. Inspired by the excellent performance of PtBi-type catalysts in inhibiting CO-poisoning and the outstanding electrocatalytic performance of two-dimensional Pt-based alloy nanoplates, the synthesis of PtBiTe hexagonal nanoplates using Bi2Te3 hexagonal nanoplates as templates is proposed here. Both the Bi2Te3 nanoplates and the PtBiTe nanoplates have a hexagonal plate-like shape. The PtBiTe nanoplates catalyst displays outstanding specific activity and mass activity, and superior stability for the methanol oxidation reaction in alkaline electrolytes compared to the commercial Pt/C catalyst and the PtTe nanoplates catalyst. The results of the in-situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy measurement and the theoretical calculations based on the density functional theory support that methanol oxidation follows the CO-free pathway on the PtBiTe NPs, which effectively prevents the catalyst from being poisoned by CO.

Photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 has attracted considerable interest owing to its potential to resolve the energy and environmental problems. Nevertheless, the lack of proficient photocatalysts has restricted the application of solar-driven photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. Herein, we reported an S-scheme heterojunction by combining g-C 3 N 4 with La 3+ and Rh 3+ co-doped SrTiO 3 through the electrostatic self-assembly method for the efficient photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. In comparison with g-C 3 N 4 , the as-prepared CN/LRSTO-30 wt% S-scheme heterojunction not only possesses a broadened visible-light response due to the defect states in La, Rh co-doped SrTiO 3 induced by co-doped La 3+ and Rh 3+ but also has more adsorption sites for the capture and activation of CO 2 molecules. Additionally, separation and transfer efficiency of the photoinduced charge carriers is much enhanced in the CN/LRSTO-30 wt% S-scheme heterojunction via its robust internal electric field, which is firmly demonstrated by in situ irradiation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy technology. Consequently, the prepared S-scheme heterojunction achieves impressive photocatalytic CO 2 reduction performance with an average CO and CH 4 evolution rate of 4.1–1.8 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 , respectively, which are ~ 1.9 and ~ 22.5-fold higher than those of pure g-C 3 N 4 . This study provides innovative perspectives on the design of creative S-scheme heterojunctions for applications in photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. Graphical abstract

The development and utilization of renewable lignin from industrial crops to produce high-value bio-based chemicals and fuels is of great significance in reducing dependence on fossil resources and promoting green chemistry. However, conventional metal-supported catalysts often suffer from poor metal dispersion and particle agglomeration during lignin conversion, resulting in insufficient catalytic activity. To address these challenges, a novel biochar-encapsulated cobalt catalyst (Co@BC) was developed in this study for efficient lignin hydrogenolysis. The catalyst formed a unique thin carbon layer structure by encapsulating cobalt nanoparticles in biochar, which enhanced metal dispersion and prevented particle agglomeration. The performance of the catalysts was systematically evaluated at different calcination temperatures. Co@BC-650 showed the best results with a lignin liquefaction degree of 79.7 % and a monophenol yield of 19.1 wt%. This yield was significantly higher than that of the supported Co/BC-650 catalyst, which only reached 15.4 wt%. The thin carbon layer not only facilitated the reduction of cobalt species at 650 °C, but also provided antioxidant protection and maintained the stability of metallic cobalt, which was essential for H 2 adsorption and activation. In addition, Co@BC-650 exhibited excellent stability with little loss of activity after 3 cycles. This study provides an efficient and sustainable method for the selective production of monophenols from renewable lignin from industrial crops, which has the potential to be widely applied for biomass conversion and large-scale sustainable chemical production.

The synthesis of Bisphenol A Glutaraldehyde Phenolic Resin (BPA-GA PF) was carried out under alkaline conditions using Bisphenol, A (BPA) and Glutaraldehyde (GA) as raw materials, with n-butanol serving as the solvent. Based on the aforementioned information, the researchers prepared modified BPA-GA PF resins by incorporating titanium (Ti), silicon (Si), and boron (B) through a polymer derivative method. This process led to the formation of Ti/Si/B-modified PF resins. By manipulating the proportion of elements in the BPA-GA PF, the modified phenolic resin demonstrated improved capacity for design and processing. The characterization of the modified BPA-GA PF involved the analysis of its transformation process and thermal behavior through the utilization of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). The presence of B, Ti, and Si elements in the system resulted in the formation of Si–O-B and B-O bonds, as determined. The Ti/Si/B -modified PF exhibited a significant increase in yield. Analysis employing X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that, following high-temperature annealing, the materials underwent a transformation into Ti/Si/B-modified PF with a highly cross-linked network structure. Oxidation experiments conducted under static conditions demonstrated that the Ti/Si/B-modified BPA-GA PF exhibited significantly greater high-temperature resistance compared to the BPA-GA PF. Among the various options, the Ti/Si/B-modified PF material with a Ti/Si ratio of 1:2 exhibited the most superior resistance to high-temperatures.

Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is a nontoxic and ideal storage material for hydrogen due to its safety and high hydrogen storage capacity. In order to improve the practicality of the sodium borohydride hydrogen production system, we deposited non-precious metal catalytic materials on readily available polymer foams using a simple chemical plating method, developing a suitable 3D catalyst. Its high specific surface area enables it to produce hydrogen at a rate of up to 3.92 L min−1g−1. Its unique structure gives the catalyst excellent durability. In addition, an efficient NaBH4-based H2supply system was developed using this catalyst. Co-Cu-B can facilitate stable hydrogen production from NaBH4, yielding a consistent power output ranging from 0 to 100 W. This work provides a new pathway for developing high-efficiency monolithic self-supported catalysts for industrial applications.

A Prussian blue analogue is grown in situ on nickel foam (NF) by a co-precipitation strategy, which is further converted into Ni-Co tellurides ((Ni-Co)Te)/NiTe through a hydrothermal method. The obtained (Ni-Co)Te/NiTe shows a heterogeneous and multi-dimensional structure, which displays a high areal specific capacitance of 2390.7 mF cm −2 at 1 mA cm −2 and a high capacitance retention of 80.3 % after 5000 cycles. Further, a hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) is assembled by using the (Ni-Co)Te/NiTe grown on NF (NF@(Ni-Co)Te/NiTe) as the cathode and activated carbon (AC) supported on NF (NF@AC) as the anode, respectively. The HSC exhibits a maximum energy density of 95.6 Wh kg −1 at the power density of 444.5 W kg −1 , which is higher than most of the HSCs previously reported. The synergistic effect of the heterojunction in the (Ni-Co)Te/NiTe and its multi-dimensional structure plays a crucial role in the enhanced reaction kinetics of the HSC.

Thermal insulation and temperature control are extremely important in numerous human activities. Traditional aerogels with low thermal conductivity are known to facilitate good insulation. Boron nitride (BN) aerogels consist of nanoscale nanofiber units with plentiful porous structures, possessing excellent thermal/electrical insulation and chemical stability. However, these porous materials cannot effectively block heat transmission, despite their low thermal conductivity. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new insulation strategy and explore materials with excellent thermal insulation performance, with special attention to heat transmitted not only through air, but also through thermal regulation by thermal adsorption. Phase change materials (PCMs) are considered promising latent heat storage materials due to their large heat storage capacity, making them promising candidates for highly efficient thermal insulation. However, the flammability of organic PCMs and their susceptibility to leakage during the solid-to-liquid transition seriously limit their wide application. In this study we combined the dual-thermal insulation performance of BN fiber aerogels and PCMs and constructed novel flexible and multifunctional composites with excellent thermal insulation performance using Co-MOF nano-flower cross-linked BN aerogels as interconnected porous substrates to encapsulate paraffin wax (PW) PCMs. The composites exhibited the advantages of BN, Co-MOFs and PCMs, overcoming the drawbacks of single-component materials. The results showed that the latent-heat storage capacity of the BN/Co-MOF/PW composites reached 188.11 J g−1 and the resulting thermal conductivity was as low as 0.0397 W (m−1 K−1), due to high thermal insulation performance. The morphology, flexibility, mechanical performance, and flame retardancy of the constructed BN/Co-MOF/PW composites were systematically investigated, ensuring that the composites could be used for thermal insulation and flame-retardant applications.
