In order to optimize antifouling performance to organic foulants, a commercial polyamide reverse osmosis membrane of composite polyamide material was modified by surface gelation using sodium alginate (NaAlg) as surface coating agent, which was widely known as a natural polymer and environmentally friendly materials. NaAlg-GA hydrogel layer was successfully deposited on commercial membrane surface by combining immersion coating with in-situ crosslinking method and the chemical structure was verified by FT-IR spectroscopy. SEM and AFM was adopted to analyze the changes of morphology and roughness. Zeta potentiometer, and contact Angle analyzer were all used to analyze the hydrophilicity and charge property of relevant NaAlg modified membranes in detail. Specific separation performance was also evaluated by cross-flow filtration tests. Results from above experiments confirmed that NaAlg modified membranes exhibited a surface with more hydrophilic, smoother and more regular, denser negative charge, slightly improved selectivity and lower permeability. Long-term monitored the performance of 100 ppm NaAlg modified membrane, it was found that the rejection rate fluctuated between 98.96% and 99.17%, and the flux ranged from 25.15 ∼ 26.06 L/m 2 h during the whole test period, which fully proved that modified membrane had good durability. BSA pollution experiment results showed that the flux attenuation rate of 100 ppm NaAlg modified membrane decreased from 40.87% to 25.01%, and flux recovery rate of contaminated membrane after washing was as high as 90.8%. In addition, the flux of 100 ppm NaAlg modified membrane exceeded that of unmodified membrane after filtrating 20 h. Moreover, with the extension of time, the cumulative flux loss of modified membrane caused by additional resistance at the initial filtration stage would soon be compensated, and it completely exceeded that of unmodified membrane after 40 h. All above results showed that NaAlg-GA hydrogel layer can effectively improve the antifouling performance.

Al and Ga were co-doped into ZnO lattice (AGZ) by the sol–gel method. Herein, graphite carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) was synthesized by using the thermal decomposition method, which was used to integrate with the obtained AGZ to create direct Z-scheme Al/Ga co-doping biphasic ZnO/g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction by the simple single-phase dispersion method. The synthesized catalysts of composition, optical properties, topography structure and chemical state of element of the prepared AGZ/g-C 3 N 4 composites were analyzed by XRD, FT-IR, UV, PL, TEM and XPS respectively. The results have shown that the combination of AGZ and g-C 3 N 4 to form a direct Z-type heterojunction can effectively reduce the band gap of AGZ, thereby shifting the absorption edge to the visible light region. The PL spectroscopy study of the synthesized sample found that, compared with bare g-C 3 N 4 or AGZ catalyst, AGZ/g-C 3 N 4 significantly reduced the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, thereby ensuring that more reactive groups participate in the dye degradation process. The degradation experiment of methylene blue(MB) dye verifies that the AGZ/CN sample has excellent photocatalytic performance. Al/Ga co-doped ZnO/g-C 3 N 4 catalyst showed the maximum photocatalytic MB degradation of 95.4% after 150 min in visible light illumination, while the degradation efficiency of ZnO and g-C 3 N 4 are only 30.5% and 50.1%, respectively. It have observed that ·O 2 − , ·OH and h + radicals were the main active species that affect the photocatalytic degradation of dyes by radical trapping experiment. In addition, the heterojunction formed by AGZ and g-C 3 N 4 inhibited the photocorrosion of ZnO, which was confirmed by these five consecutive dye degradation tests. At the same time, in order to determine the optimal compounding ratio, four groups of AGZ/CN with different ratios were prepared. It was found that AGZ/CN15 has the highest catalytic efficiency, and the degradation of MB reached 94% within 2.5 h. This work will open up a new path for the development of more effective photocatalysts for organic matter treatment.

Herein, we developed a novel biodegradable gene carrier for rapid endothelialization of endothelial cells (ECs) in vitro. Three triblock amphiphilic copolymers, methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(3(S)-methyl-2,5-morpholinedione-co-glycolide)-graft-polyethyleneimine (mPEG-b-P(MMD-co-GA)-g-PEI) with different 3(S)-methyl-2,5-morpholinedione and glycolide contents were synthesized. Microparticles (MPs) were obtained via self-assembly of these copolymers. The hydrophobic core composed of P(MMD-co-GA) segments provide crosslinking points for numbers of PEG and short PEI chains to form a highly hydrophilic and positively charged corona/shell of MPs. Using these MPs, potential genes (ZNF580) for rapid endothelialization were efficiently transported into EA.hy926 cells. Because of the hydrophilic PEG chains and low molecular weight PEI in the triblock copolymers, the cytotoxicity of these MPs and their complexes with pEGFP–ZNF580 was decreased significantly. The transfection efficacy of MPs/pEGFP–ZNF580 complexes was as high as Lipofectamine™ 2000 reagent to EA.hy926 cells in vitro. The proliferation and migration of EA.hy926 cells were improved greatly by the expression of pEGFP–ZNF580 after 60 hours. Our results indicated that the mPEG-b-P(MMD-co-GA)-g-PEI based MPs could be a suitable non-viral gene carrier for ZNF580 gene to enhance rapid endothelialization.

A novel method for extracting polyphenols from Moringa oleifera Lam. ( M. oleifera ) using natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) has been developed, with extraction conditions optimized via an artificial neural network-genetic algorithm (ANN-GA) to maximize efficiency. Traditional extraction methods for polyphenols from M. oleifera leaves, such as ethanol extraction, are often associated with low efficiency, environmental concerns, and high operational costs. Furthermore, the empirical selection of solvents and extraction conditions is time-consuming and lacks precision. In this study, 28 NADES were employed to predict the solubility of polyphenol molecules through a conductor-like screening model for realistic solvents (COSMO-RS) model. Based on the results, eight highly effective NADES combinations were selected and experimentally verified. The betaine-maleic acid (Bet-MA) combination with the ultrasonic-assisted extraction showed the highest extraction rate of M. oleifera leaves polyphenol (MOLP), which was 1.56 times that of ultrasonic-assisted ethanol solvent. Simplex centroid mixture design (SCMD) and two-level factor experiments were conducted to optimize the ratio of betaine, maleic acid, and water and identify the most influential extraction factors on MOLP yield. The ANN-GA model was further applied to refine the extraction conditions and analyze their interactions on MOLP content. Additionally, antioxidant assays demonstrated that MOLP extracted with the Bet-MA solvent displayed significant antioxidant activity. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that COSMO-RS and ANN-GA may serve as powerful tools for solvent selection and extraction process optimization, offering a green and efficient approach for polyphenol extraction from M. oleifera leaves. The findings highlight the potential of NADES-based extraction methods for broader applications in the extraction of various bioactive substances, contributing to the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly extraction technologies.

To address issues such as uneven particle size, agglomeration, low luminescence efficiency, and poor stability in the nanosizing of Mn4+-doped fluoride red phosphors, this study combines solid solution engineering and aliovalent charge compensation to prepare high-performance K2LiB1–xB′xF6:Mn4+ (B, B′ = Al, Ga, In) nanoparticles (FNPs). Using an HF-free coprecipitation method for the synthesis of solid-solution matrices, followed by a ligand-assisted reprecipitation step that employs a small amount of HF to dissolve K2MnF6 to rapidly and uniformly incorporate Mn4+ into the matrices, and the particle size is reduced from 33.32 to 16.05 nm with improved dispersibility by adjusting the volume ratio of oleic acid (OA) to oleylamine (OAm) ligands; through the gradual solid solution of Al3+, Ga3+, and In3+, the regulatory mechanism of lattice distortion and local crystal field on luminescence is revealed, with optimal luminescence intensity achieved at specific solid-solution ratios and the emission peak blue-shifted from 636 to 632 nm. Zn2+ codoping for charge compensation enhances the luminescence intensity of the 0.9% Mn4+-doped sample by 120%, with the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) increased to 40.01%, and the fluorescence lifetime extended to 4.11 ms. The FNPs have good thermal stability (56% retention at 150 °C) and moisture resistance (85% retention after 240 h in water). Packaged white light-emitting diode (WLED) exhibits a luminous efficacy of 20.54 lm W–1, and the fluorescent ink enables red–green anticounterfeiting display under UV excitation, providing insights into applications in high-end display and lighting fields, especially micro-LED color conversion layers, WLED packaging, and anticounterfeiting/encryption inks.

Intermediate temperature NaCl–AlCl3-based Al-ion batteries are considered as a promising stationary energy storage system due to their low cost, high safety, etc. However, such a cheap electrolyte has a critical feature, i.e., strong corrosion, which results in the short cycle life of the conventional Al-metal anode and also limits the development of the NaCl–AlCl3-based Al-ion batteries. A noncorrosive electrolyte may be a good choice for addressing the above challenge, while it is difficult to obtain the electrolyte that has advantages of both noncorrosion and low cost. Therefore, here, we report a Ga-metal anode in the affordable NaCl–AlCl3 electrolyte for constructing a long-life stationary Al-ion energy storage system. This featured liquid metal anode shows good alloying and dealloying processes between metallic Ga and Al, as well as renders superior stability of the interface between the electrolyte and the anode (e.g., smoothly running for over 580 h at 2 mA cm–2). No-corrosion and no-pulverization problems appear in this novel liquid/liquid interface. Those advantages demonstrate that the liquid Ga-metal anode has a great promise for the improvement of the NaCl–AlCl3-based Al-ion batteries for large-scale stationary energy storage applications.

Diabetic wounds represent one of the most prevalent complications in patients with diabetes mellitus. Elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS), bacterial infections, persistent inflammation, and impaired angiogenesis collectively contribute to delayed diabetic wound healing. In this study, a multifunctional, injectable, photoinitiator-free, photocrosslinkable hydrogel (G/Z@M) based on insect-derived chitosan was developed. The hydrogel system incorporated lipoic acid (LA), which possesses photopolymerization capability and potent antioxidant activity, to modify quaternized chitosan (QMCS). Through self-initiated photo-crosslinking of QMCS-LA, the hydrogel's three-dimensional network was constructed. Simultaneously, the ZIF-8@MPN nanocomposite was constructed by coating ZIF-8 with a metal-polyphenol network (MPN) functional coating formed through the coordination of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) with Ga 3+ . This nanocomposite was then loaded onto the QMCS-LA network. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the G/Z@M hydrogel possesses great biocompatibility, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and pro-angiogenic activities, effectively promoting the healing of full-thickness skin defect wounds in MRSA-infected diabetic rats. In conclusion, the G/Z@M hydrogel presents an innovative therapeutic approach for diabetic infected wounds by simultaneously regulating oxidative stress, bacterial infection, persistent inflammation, and impaired angiogenesis.

Luminescence pressure sensors, valued for their remote sensing capability and high resolution, have been developed recently. However, most current sensors rely on a linear relationship between an optical property and pressure. We propose a nonlinear machine learning (ML) method to model the luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) as a function of pressure. The versatility and performance of this method are demonstrated using (Y,Gd)(Al,Ga) 3 (BO 3 ) 4 :Cr 3+ phosphors as luminescent pressure sensors. The relative sensitivities of the 2 E → 4 A 2 / 4 T 2 → 4 A 2 LIRs in (Y,Gd)(Al,Ga) 3 (BO 3 ) 4 :Cr 3+ range from 1.58%/GPa to 25.27%/GPa. The ML fitting demonstrates a superior performance compared to linear fitting, with lower mean absolute errors (0.0355–0.1499 GPa vs. 0.1209–0.6955 GPa) and higher R 2 values (99.70–99.98% vs. 93.69–99.79%). The ML fitting method is more suitable for modeling the nonlinear relationships between LIR and pressure than traditional linear fitting. The nonlinear ML fitting approach offers a powerful new way to model the relationships between luminescence features and various physical parameters.

Nasicon-type Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 (LATP) is a potential electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries due to its appropriate conductivity and good air stability. Herein, LATP was co-doped with Ga and Si to improve its ionic conductivity. The Li 1.325 Al 0.29 Ga 0.01 Ti 1.7 Si 0.025 P 2.975 O 12 (LAGTSP025) electrolyte exhibits an ionic conductivity of 8.92 × 10 −4 S/cm at 30 °C, which is mainly ascribed to its enlarged crystal lattice and high densification. This electrolyte material was incorporated into poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) polymer to form a polymer-based PEO-LITFSI-LAGTSP025 solid composite electrolyte (SCE). The optimized SCE shows a high ionic conductivity of 5.33 × 10 −4 S/cm and excellent interfacial stability at 60 °C. Consequently, a Li/SCE/Li symmetric battery can stably cycle for 1600 cycles at a current density of 0.1 mA/cm 2 . Moreover, an LFP/SCE/Li all-solid-state lithium-ion battery (ASSLIB) maintains a discharge capacity of 143.56 mAh/g and exhibits 95.21% capacity retention after 300 cycles at 0.5C. This work demonstrates PEO-LITFSI-7.5LAGTSP025 SCE is a potential solid electrolyte for ASSLIBs.

Ga and F co-doped ZnO (GFZO) thin films were prepared on quartz substrates via the sol-gel spin-coating method, followed by annealing in O 2 , Ar, N 2 , and H 2 atmosphere. The effects of annealing atmosphere on the structure, optical transmission, electrical properties, and thermal stability of GFZO films were systematically investigated. All GFZO films exhibited a typical wurtzite structure with a c-axis preferential orientation. The average optical transmittance of GFZO films annealed in Ar, N 2 , and O 2 atmospheres exceeded 90% in the visible region, while that of the H 2 -annealed sample was about 60%. The resistivity values of GFZO films annealed in Ar, N 2 , and H 2 atmospheres ranged from 1×10 -3 to 3×10 -3 Ω·cm at room temperature, whereas the film annealed in O 2 showed a much higher resistivity of 7.887×10 5 Ω·cm. Notably, the GFZO thin films annealed in Ar or N 2 atmosphere can maintain a low resistivity of 8×10 -3 Ω·cm even at 500 °C while retaining excellent thermal stability. With high optical transmittance, low electrical resistivity, and outstanding thermal stability, the Ar and N 2 annealed GFZO thin films are highly suitable for transparent conductive thin film applications.

Achieving acidic seawater hydrogen production under commercial current densities remains a challenge. We present here a novel strategy through strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) and Pt-p-block alloys (PtM@CNT, M = Ga, In, Pb, and Bi) to construct a stable electronic perturbation and achieve acidic seawater hydrogen evolution performance at commercial current densities for the first time. SMSI stabilizes electronic perturbation and promotes durability up to 360 h. The optimized Pt 61 Ga 39 @CNT exhibits an overpotential of 18 mV at 10 mA cm −2 in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 and maintains 360 h stability at 500 mA cm −2 in acidic seawater. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation reveals that the optimized d -band center of Pt and ΔG H* increase the catalytic activity, and the higher vacancy formation energy enhances the durability. Overall, this discovery not only first achieves stable acidic seawater hydrogen production under commercial current densities, but also opens a new opportunity to explore catalytic applications of p-block alloys and SMSI stabilized electronic perturbation.

Supported Pt-based bimetallic catalysts are representative types of dehydrogenation catalysts used for alkanes to olefins conversion. The platinum in these catalysts exhibits unique structural features accompanied with changes in electronic states due to the addition of the second metal. To investigate the impact of each effect on the activity for propane dehydrogenation , a series of Pt-M/SiO 2 (M= Fe, Cu, Ga, In and Sn) catalysts were prepared and used for propane dehydrogenation. Utilizing various characterization techniques, the geometric and electronic properties of these catalysts were studied. The relationships between the specific activity of bimetallic platinum catalysts in propane dehydrogenation and atomic sizes of alloys (i) and the total density of unoccupied d bands in platinum (ii) were considered. Via alloy formation, it was found that dilution of the active metal Pt occurred in these SiO 2 supported bimetallic catalysts, and the lattice parameter of Pt-M alloys decreased on Pt-Fe, Pt-Cu and Pt-Ga alloys, but increased on Pt-In and Pt-Sn alloys when compared with that of Pt foil. Catalytic activity was evidently shown to not be a function of the lattice parameters of Pt-M alloys, but appears closely related with the d -holes of Pt in Pt-M bimetallic catalysts. More d holes show favorably high activity. Among the studied Pt-M/SiO 2 (M= Fe, Cu, Ga, In and Sn) catalysts, the prominent and primary role of the electronic effect was demonstrated.
