The solubility remains critical in drugs development, manufacturing, and application. S-Ketoprofen (SKTP) solubility in methanol/ethanol/2-propanol/acetone + water (278.15–318.15 K) was measured by the isothermal saturation technique. The impacts of solvent effect, Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs), and preferential solvation on solubility and model correlation were analyzed. The SKTP solubility increased with decreasing water content in alcohols–water but exhibited cosolvency at w = 0.80 in acetone–water; the maximum mole fraction solubility is 0.1072. The HSPs explained the occurrence of cosolvency molecularly (minimum Δδt = 0.08 at w = 0.80, acetone composition). The solvent effect analysis showed that solute–solvent or solvent–solvent interactions account for 63.44 and 32.60% of solvent effect. Thus, hydrogen bonding and nonspecific dipolarity/polarizability interactions dominate SKTP dissolution. The preferential solvation investigation indicated that SKTP was preferentially dissolved by cosolvents within 0.32 < x1 < 1 for methanol–water, 0.23 < x1 < 1 for ethanol–water, 0.17 < x1 < 1 for 2-propanol–water, and 0.21 < x1 < 0.55 for acetone–water but preferentially dissolved by water in other region. The correlation results suggested that the maximum values of relative average deviation and root-mean-square deviation were 4.84% and 9.45 × 10–4, thus Apelbat–Jouyban–Acree, Jouyban–Acree, and van’t Hoff–Jouyban–Acree models can correlate the solubility data accurately.

Developing an efficient visible-light-responsive catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is essential for addressing energy scarcity and environmental pollution. In this study, one-dimensional Co3O4 (CO) nanoparticles were synthesized via electrospinning and subsequently sulfurized using a low-temperature solvothermal method. These sulfurized one-dimensional CO nanoparticles were then combined with two-dimensional sheet-like ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) to form a p–n heterojunction composite semiconductor photocatalyst (SCO/ZIS). The one-dimensional CO nanoparticles obtained through electrospinning significantly enhance the catalytic activity and efficiency, while sulfurization further improves their electronic structure and surface properties. The built-in electric field at the p–n heterojunction interface between n-type ZIS and p-type SCO effectively inhibits the recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs while facilitating electron transfer. Additionally, the incorporation of one-dimensional SCO into sheet-like ZIS prevents ZIS stacking, improving sunlight utilization and substantially enhancing photocatalytic HER performance. Our results demonstrate that SCO/ZIS achieves a superior HER rate of 4300.3 μmol g−1 h−1 under visible light, which is 7.45 times higher than that of pristine ZIS, while also exhibiting excellent photocatalytic stability.

Bisphenol S (BPS), a key ingredient in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins, is a known endocrine-disrupting compound that poses significant risks to human health and the environment. As such, the development of rapid and reliable analytical techniques for its detection is essential. In this work, we present a newly engineered electrochemical sensor designed for the sensitive and selective detection of BPS using a straightforward and effective fabrication approach. The sensor was constructed by grafting molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) onto vinyl-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs). Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and acrylamide were used as the cross-linker and functional monomer, respectively, in the synthesis of the MIP layer. The resulting MIP@f-MWCNT nanocomposite was characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The MIP@f-MWCNT material was then combined with chitosan, a biocompatible binder, to fabricate the final MIP@f-MWCNT/chitosan-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Electrochemical evaluation showed a broad linear detection range from 1 to 60 µM (R2= 0.992), with a sensitivity of 0.108 µA/µM and a detection limit of 2.00 µM. The sensor retained 96.0% of its response after four weeks and exhibited high selectivity against structural analogues. In spiked plastic extract samples, recoveries ranged from 95.6% to 105.0%. This robust, cost-effective, and scalable sensing platform holds strong potential for environmental monitoring, food safety applications, and real-time electrochemical detection of endocrine-disrupting compounds like BPS.

Currently, it is a huge challenge to develop a rapid and sustainable approach to prepare N/S co-doped mesoporous-dominated hierarchical porous carbons (NSMHPC) for supercapacitors. Herein, we innovatively adopted an in-situ template-assisted self-activation strategy to exploit multiple X-NSMHPCs (X = A, M, N) from different sulfate (Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 /MgSO 4 /(NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 ) precipitated kraft lignins (X-KLs, X = Al, Mg, NH 4 ). Compared with other X-NSMHPCs, N-NSMHPC delivered unique mesoporous-dominated hierarchical structures with excellent specific surface area (S BET ) of 622.1 m 2 /g, large pore volume (V pore ) of 0.61 m 3 /g, copious N/S content and high carbon yield of 32.8 %. Its unique tertiary pore structure and plentiful surface-exposed active sites facilitated rapid electrolyte penetration, and speedy ion insertion and extraction. As expected, N-NSMHPC delivered a superior specific capacitance of 226.6 F/g at 0.5 A/g, which was much higher than that of lignin-based or biomass-direct pyrolyzed-based PCs. When assembled as a symmetric supercapacitor, N-NSMHPC demonstrated a maximum energy density of 18.7 Wh/kg and a power density of 500 W/kg. Meanwhile, it only exhibited a 6.6 % specific capacitance drop at 20 A/g after 5000-cycle charge-discharge tests. This span-new strategy provides a green and efficient sight for designing high-yield-high performance NSMHPC for supercapacitors.

In this study, a novel electrochemical biosensor based on exonuclease III (Exo III)-aided autonomous cascade signal amplification for ultrasensitive and highly specific detection of Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) has been reported. Herein, two duplex DNA probes were ingeniously designed. An Ap–Pr duplex probe was constructed as a recognition element by hybridizing an S. typhimurium aptamer (Ap) with a primer (Pr). A P–S duplex probe has been designed to contain a protruding DNA fragment at 5′-termini that has an identical sequence with Pr (the secondary Pr), a complementary duplex DNA that is used for blocking a signal-triggered probe (S), and an overhung nucleic acid segment at 3′-end that can anneal with Pr and form double-stranded DNA with a blunt 3′-terminus, thus initiating Exo III-aided amplification reaction. Upon sensing of the target S. typhimurium, the specific recognition of S. typhimurium and aptamer releases Pr, which anneals with the P–S duplex and triggers the Exo III cleavage reaction, accompanied by release of Pr, S, and secondary Pr. After this, the released Pr and secondary Pr anneal with other P–S duplex, which in turn triggers the Exo III-assisted cycling cleavage. Thus, large amounts of S are liberated, which hybrids with S* (DNA probe complementary to S); thereby, 5′-methylene blue (MB)-labelled DNA probe (MBP) folds into a hairpin structure with 5′-terminus close to electrode surface for efficient electronic transfer. Moreover, the S–S* hybrid duplex is specifically hydrolyzed by Exo III to liberate S, which accordingly results in the cycling cleavage of S*. Therefore, numerous MBP transform into a hairpin structure with electroactive MB close to the electrode surface; this generates significantly amplified electrochemical signal towards S. typhimurium detection. The present developed strategy exhibited high sensitivity towards S. typhimurium with a detection limit of 2.8 × 10 cfu mL−1. Furthermore, the proposed autonomous cascade signal amplification strategy can be easily extended for detection towards a wide spectrum of analytes including nucleic acid, proteins, and small molecules possessing their corresponding aptamers. Therefore, the developed Exo III-aided autonomous cascade signal amplification strategy might indeed provide a facile and universal tool for bioanalysis and clinical diagnosis.

Addressing the kinetic mismatch and structural instability challenges in sodium-ion hybrid capacitor (SIHC) anodes, this study develops an N-doped carbon composite integrating amorphous Mn–S with adjacent low-nucleated MnS (a–Mn-S/MnSLN@NC). This architecture synergistically enhances mechanical stress buffering and charge transfer kinetics via the isotropic dynamic bonding of a–Mn-S and the high-affinity sites of MnSLN. The 3D C–S–Mn covalent bonds in the a–Mn-S stabilize MnSLN through atomic anchoring, homogenizing volume strains and exposing uncoordinated S active sites to elevate Na+ adsorption density. Theoretical calculations reveal that the proximity-induced d–p orbital hybridization reconstructs the electron-donor characteristics of S sites, creating an asymmetric electronic configuration. The electron-rich a–Mn-S serves as efficient Na+ trapping centers, while the electron-deficient MnSLN facilitates rapid electron transfer. This configuration endows the composite with superior Na+ adsorption energy and charge transfer efficiency over pure MnS. Consequently, the a–Mn-S/MnSLN@NC anode delivers a high reversible capacity of 597 mAh g–1 at 0.1 A g–1 and retains 90.5% capacity after 3500 cycles at 10.0 A g–1. The assembled SIHCs achieve exceptional energy/power densities (186 Wh kg–1 and 9576 W kg–1). This work elucidates the mechanism of adjacent asymmetric configurations for enhanced Na+ storage, offering a novel strategy for designing high-performance SIHCs.

Lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) are regarded as a competitive candidate for future energy storage systems due to their exceptionally high theoretical capacity and energy density, but their practical use is limited by severe lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) shuttling and uncontrolled lithium dendrite growth, harming cycling stability and Coulombic efficiency. Herein, a multifunctional Ce-ZIF-8/PDA@PP separator is fabricated via in situ growth. Theoretical and experimental studies confirm it integrates synergistic functionalities from polydopamine (PDA), ZIF-8, and Ce doping. The PDA interlayer, rich in polar groups, enhances electrolyte wettability, homogenizes Li+ flux, acts as a chemical anchor and nucleation facilitator, enabling uniform Ce-ZIF-8 growth on inert PP. ZIF-8 provides uniform microporous channels for size-selective Li+ transport and LiPSs anchoring sites. Redox-active Ce3+/Ce4+ centers enable dynamic electron transfer via 4f–5d orbitals, accelerating LiPSs redox kinetics, enhancing adsorption, and regulating Li+ deposition through local electric field modulation. Consequently, symmetric cells with this separator achieve ultralong stability over 3600 h at 1 mA cm–2/1 mAh cm–2, while full cells cycle stably over 600 cycles at 1 C with 0.040% per cycle capacity decay. This study offers a robust separator strategy to concurrently address polysulfide diffusion and lithium dendrite growth in high-performance LSBs.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread worldwide and has infected more than 250 million people. A typical feature of COVID-19 is the lack of type I interferon (IFN-I)-mediated antiviral immunity in patients. However, the detailed molecular mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 evades the IFN-I-mediated antiviral response remain elusive. Here, we performed a comprehensive screening and identified a set of SARS-CoV-2 proteins that antagonize the IFN-I response. Subsequently, we characterized the mechanisms of two viral proteins antagonize IFN-I production and downstream signaling. SARS-CoV-2 membrane protein binds to importin karyopherin subunit alpha-6 (KPNA6) to inhibit interferon regulatory factor 3(IRF3) nuclear translocation. Further, the spike protein interacts with signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) to block its association with Janus kinase 1 (JAK1). This study increases our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis and suggests novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of COVID-19.

A high inulinase activity was found in three commercially available glucoamylase enzymes. Its origin was investigated and two proteins in the commercial glucoamylases were identified as the potential enzymes showing inulinase activity. One of the commercial glucoamylases, GA-L New from Genencor, was used for Jerusalem artichoke tubers (Jat) hydrolysis and a high hydrolysis yield of fructose was obtained. The simultaneous saccharification and lactic acid fermentation (SSF) of Jat was carried out using GA-L New as the inulinase and Pediococcus acidilactici DQ2 as the fermenting strain. A high lactic acid titer, yield, and productivity of 111.5 g/L, 0.46 g/g DM, and 1.55 g/L/h, respectively, were obtained within 72 h. The enzyme cost using the commercial glucoamylase as inulinase was compared to that using the typical inulinase and a large profit margin was identified. The results provided a practical way of Jat application for lactic acid production using cheap commercial glucoamylase enzyme.

The shuttle effect hinders the practical application of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries due to the poor affinity between a substrate and Li polysulfides (LiPSs) and the sluggish transition of soluble LiPSs to insoluble Li2S or elemental S. Here, we report that Ni hexatomic clusters embedded in a nitrogen-doped three-dimensional (3D) graphene framework (Ni-N/G) possess stronger interaction with soluble polysulfides than that with insoluble polysulfides. The synthetic electrocatalyst deployed in the sulfur cathode plays a multifunctional role: (i) selectively adsorbing the polysulfides dissolved in the electrolyte, (ii) expediting the sluggish liquid-solid phase transformations at the active sites as electrocatalysts, and (iii) accelerating the kinetics of the electrochemical reaction of multielectron sulfur, thereby inhibiting the dissolution of LiPSs. The constructed S@Ni-N/G cathode delivers an areal capacity of 9.43 mAh cm-2 at 0.1 C at S loading of 6.8 mg cm-2, and it exhibits a gravimetric capacity of 1104 mAh g-1 with a capacity fading rate of 0.045% per cycle over 50 cycles at 0.2 C at S loading of 2.0 mg cm-2. This work opens a rational approach to achieve the selective adsorption and expediting of polysulfide transition for the performance enhancement of Li-S batteries.

Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) shows promise as an anode material for Li/Na-ion batteries due to its low cost and good cycling stability. However, the limited rate capability and poor conductivity severely limit their practical application. Herein, the nitrogen-sulfur co-doping nano TiO 2 is in-situ constructed on the Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene substrate (SN-TiO 2 @MXene) via facile partial oxidation of MXene. The introduction of S-N heteroatoms, TiO 2 @MXene heterostructures and nanostructures can enhance electronic conductivity, improve ions diffusion kinetics and promote the contribution of pseudo-capacitance. Moreover, the employment of three-dimensional conductive layered MXene parent phase as a substrate material can not only construct the conductive network but also enhance the structural stability of the electrode. The SN-TiO 2 @MXene composite achieves an impressive reversible capacity of 306 mA/g after 1500 cycles at 500 mA/g, and 241.1 mAh/g after 2000 cycles even at a high current density of 2000 mA/g in LIBs. Furthermore, this electrode exhibits a discharge capacity of 105 mAh/g after 1000 cycles at 500 mA/g in SIBs. This study demonstrates that the three-dimensional layered SN-TiO 2 @MXene composites hold promising prospects as anode materials for ion batteries, and offer valuable insights for the fabrication of titanium matrix composites with exceptional electrochemical properties.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries present tremendous potential in promising high energy storage systems because of their high energy density and specific capacity. However, the shuttle effect and slow reaction kinetics of the intermediate lithium polysulfide (LiPSs) result in fast capacity fading. Herein, multicomponent synergy nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube (CNT) framework dotted by CoFe/FeN 0.0324 /TiN heterostructure (CoFe/FeN 0.0324 /TiN@N-CNT) were developed and prepared by in-situ nitridation approach as polysulfide mediator to simultaneously realize physicochemical adsorption and catalytic conversion of polysulfide. Transition metal nitrides, such as FeN 0.0324 , are known for their polar surfaces that can chemically adsorb polysulfides efficiently. Additionally, CoFe and TiN have been shown to catalyze polysulfide redox reactions. This understanding paves the way for the development of heterostructured CoFe/FeN 0.0324 /TiN nanoparticles that significantly enhance the immobilization, diffusion, and transformation of polysulfides. Moreover, nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) decorated with bimetallic CoFe afford intriguing benefits. The CoFe alloy not only facilitates the in-situ growth of CNTs but also contributes to prominent Li + /electron conductivity. Together, CoFe and CNTs provide substantial physical confinement and catalytic sites, thereby accelerating redox kinetics and effectively mitigating the shuttle effect. Owing to these advantages, CoFe/FeN 0.0324 /TiN@N-CNT separators exhibit remarkable electrochemical properties including superior rate capacity of 738 mAh g −1 at 3C, high reversible capacity of 708 mAh g −1 at 0.5C after 400 cycles and 607 mAh g −1 at 1C after 1000 cycles with per cycle declining rate of 0.09 % and 0.048 %, respectively, and ultralong cycle life at 4C after 1000 cycle. Even with a relatively high sulfur loading of 2.3 mg, the modified batteries still exhibit a satisfactory reversible capacity at 0.5C. This work paves a unique avenue combined prudent spacial framework with heterogeneous synergy strategy for manufacturing high-energy–density Li-S batteries.
