Exploring green methods for removing organic pollutants from water bodies has attracted significant attention. In this research, N-ZnO/p-BN adsorption-photocatalytic composites were prepared by a simple solvothermal method, and various analytical characterizations confirmed the formation of B-O-Zn bonds at the heterojunction interface that facilitated the separation of photogenerated carriers and revealed a type-II mechanism of charge transfer in the heterostructure. The photodegradation efficiency for oxytetracycline (OTC) by composites with different N-ZnO loadings was investigated under simulated sunlight, and the degradation efficiency of the optimal sample (50 wt% N-ZnO/p-BN) for 50 mg/L OTC reached 92.2 % at 120 min. Efficient pollutant enrichment, broadened light absorption range, high dispersion of the photocatalysts, and effective charge migration are all important factors for improving photocatalytic activity. Furthermore, the photocatalytic process was further investigated, experiments showed that the N-ZnO/p-BN composites were universally applicable under a variety of conditions and possessed the characteristics of low dosage and high degradable concentration. Finally, a rational photocatalytic mechanism was proposed for the degradation system and the degradation pathways of the main degradation model OTC were analyzed and deduced. Therefore, this study provides new ideas for designing high-performance adsorption-photocatalytic composites.

It is challenging to produce soft polymer materials with high surface area and nanoscale morphology that can be used for continuous flow water treatment in a processable, versatile, and stable manner. Here, we manufactured a processable Ag@CMPA-bph and used it to treat pollutants in wastewater at continuous flow conditions. The aerogel was prepared by a simple reduction method of CMP matrix and Ag metal precursors. Thermogravimetric analysis and electron microscopy showed that the aerogel had excellent thermal stability and distribution of fine Ag nanoparticles. The synthesized aerogel inherits the controllable properties of the CMP matrix and can be tailored to a specific shape for installation into the water treatment unit. In continuous flow conditions, this aerogel shows excellent catalytic activity to efficiently treat the combined pollutant containing p- nitrophenol and methyl orange ( p- NP&MO), which can reach a removal rate of more than 99 % at the flow rate of 0.6 L h -1 . Furthermore, the Ag@CMPA-bph can also be used for continuous flow treatment of pollutants in river water sample and shows robust anti-pollution load capacity and catalytic activity.

Low-grade heat accounts for a significant portion of the heat, but is often overlooked and not utilized. Ionic thermoelectric generators (i-TEGs) are an ideal choice for harvesting low-grade heat due to their simple design and operation. However, challenges such as ion mobility regulation and the need for series integration still hinder their performance. In this work, an interesting approach is introduced to improve the thermoelectric efficiency of i-TEG by utilizing ion-selective hydrogels containing sodium chloride (NaCl). The anionic polymer in the cation-selective hydrogel is attractive to sodium ions, while the cationic polymer in the anion-selective hydrogel is attractive to chloride ions. This regulates the thermal mobility of ions in the hydrogel without polymer modification or the addition of some additives, thus enhancing or changing the Seebeck coefficient ( S ). By connecting 12 pairs of the P-type and N-type i-TEGs, a voltage of 1.54 V and an output power of 21 µW can be achieved on the surface of the body skin. This work opens a new horizon for obtaining high-performance i-TEGs through ion mobility regulation by ion-selective hydrogels, and highlights the prospect of P-N series integrated i-TEGs from hydrogels for body heat harvesting.

Mycoplasma gallisepticum ( M. gallisepticum , MG ) is the primary pathogen of chronic respiratory disease ( CRD ) in chickens and leads to pneumonia and air sacculitis in infected chickens and a corresponding economic loss for the poultry industry. The pleuromutilins have excellent anti-mycoplasmal activity and we evaluated the in vivo activity of a new derivative 22-((4-((2-furan-1-yl)acetamido)phenyl)thio) deoxypleuromutilin ( p- furoylamphenmulin ) against M. gallisepticum . A plasma pharmacokinetic ( PK ) study and an in vivo pharmacodynamic ( PD ) study of p -furoylamphenmulin were performed using an M. gallisepticum -infected chicken model. Based on the PK/PD results, a preliminary recommended dose was calculated. The minimum inhibitory concentration ( MIC ) of p -furoylamphenmulin against M. gallisepticum was 0.001953125 μg/mL. PK results indicated that the absorption half-life ( T 1/2ka ) in infected chicks was 0.10 h, elimination half-life ( T 1/2kel ) was 4.23 h. The areas under the concentration-time curve at 24h ( AUC 24h ) for 5, 40, and 80 mg/kg single-dose injections were 1.49, 10.15, and 18.56 μg·h/mL, respectively. The peak concentrations ( C max ) of 5, 40, and 80 mg/kg were 0.56, 5.79, and 9.53 μg/mL, respectively. The PD results indicated that at doses of 70 and 80 mg/kg, the mycoplasmal counts in lungs decreased by 3.39 and 3.28 Log 10 CFU/mL, respectively, achieving a bactericidal effect. Through PK/PD fitting, the target values corresponding to reducing the lung mycoplasma load by 3 Log 10 CFU/mL of AUC 24h /MIC and C max /MIC were 8288.29 h and 4299.30, respectively, and the calculated dosage using formula (2) was 62.64 mg/kg, under the regimen of intramuscular injection once every 24 h for 3 consecutive days. In addition, the effect of high-dose p -furoylamphenmulin on the relief of air sac lesions was significant. These results provide a basis for developing and applying p -furoylamphenmulin and provide a preliminary medication regimen.

A series of bis-P,O-hybrid ligands ( L1–L4 ) were synthesized and characterized. The crystal structures demonstrated that the ligand of L2 , 1,4-bis((2-(diphenylphosphaneyl)phenoxy)methyl)benzene, not only acted as a typical trans -positioned diphosphine as observed in the complexes Pd( L2 )(OAc) 2 and Pd( L2 )Cl 2 , but also potentially as a P,P,O-tripodal pincer. As a result, under mild conditions (80 °C, 0.5–3.0 MPa), L2 enabled Pd(OAc) 2 to exhibit remarkable performance in terms of high activity and excellent regioselectivity ( l / b > 97/3) in the alkoxycarbonylation of vinyl arenes with the isolated yields of 57–91 %.

Piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs), as a promising solution to harvest mechanical energy from ambient environment, have attracted much attention over the past decade. Here, the core–shell structured BaTiO3@Carbon (BT@C) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by a simple surface-modifying method and then used to fabricate the efficient PENGs with poly[(vinylidene fluoride)-co-trifluoroethylene] (P(VDF-TrFE)). The carbon shell with the uniform thickness of 10–15 nm can increase the content of the polar β phase in P(VDF-TrFE) and significantly enhance the interfacial polarization between BT NPs and the polymer matrix during the poling process. Out of all compositions, the 15 wt % BT@C/P(VDF-TrFE) PENG exhibited the optimal piezoelectric performance with an output voltage of ∼17 V and a maximum power of 14.3 μW under bending–releasing mode. More importantly, the PENG can also efficiently harvest other types of mechanical energy from human activities and exhibits stable output after 1500 bending–releasing cycles. When the PENG was bent and beat by bicycle spokes, a peak voltage of 16 V was generated, which can light up 12 white LEDs directly and charge the commercial capacitors. Our research provides a new strategy to fabricate flexible and efficient PENGs from a nanoscale viewpoint; it can be hopefully applied in energy-harvesting systems and wearable electric sensors.

Single-crystal p-type ZnSe nanowires (NWs) with zinc blende structure and [21–1] growth direction were synthesized by using bismuth (Bi) as dopant via a thermal co-evaporation method. The ZnSe : Bi NWs showed evident p-type conductivity with hole concentration up to 4.1 × 1018 cm−3 after the acceptor activation. Negative photoconductivity was first investigated in the p-ZnSe NWs, i.e., the conductivity of the NWs under light was dramatically lower than that in the dark. Surface effects arising from oxygen absorption and photo-desorption were suggested to be responsible for this. By using Al as the Schottky gate, high-performance nano-metal-semiconductor field-effect transistors (nanoMESFETs) were constructed, and measurements on the Al/p-ZnSe NW Schottky diode also revealed the bias-dependent photoresponse. It is expected that the p-type ZnSe : Bi NWs will have great potential in nano-optoelectronic applications.

Background Acetaminophen, a widely used analgesic and antipyretic drug, has become a significant aquatic micro-pollutant due to its extensive global production and increased consumption, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Its high-water solubility leads to its pervasive presence in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), posing substantial risks to the environment and human health. Biological treatment is one of the promising approaches to remove such pollutants. Although previous studies have isolated acetaminophen-degrading pure cultures and proposed catabolic pathways, the interactions between microbiotas and acetaminophen, the distribution feature of acetaminophen degradation genes, and the gene-driven fate of acetaminophen in the real-world environment remain largely unexplored. Results Among the water samples from 20 WWTPs across China, acetaminophen was detected from 19 samples at concentrations ranging from 0.06 to 29.20 nM. However, p -aminophenol, a more toxic metabolite, was detected in all samples at significantly higher concentrations (23.93 to 108.68 nM), indicating the presence of a catabolic bottleneck in WWTPs. Metagenomic analysis from both the above 20 samples and global datasets revealed a consistently higher abundance of initial acetaminophen amidases compared to downstream enzymes, potentially having explained the reason for the bottleneck. Meanwhile, a close correlation between initial amidases and Actinomycetota revealed by genome-based taxonomy suggests a species-dependent degradation pattern. Additionally, a distinct amidase ApaA was characterized by newly isolated Rhodococcus sp. NyZ502 (Actinomycetota), represents a predominant category of amidase in WWTPs. Significant phylogenetic and structural diversity observed among putative amidases suggest versatile acetaminophen hydrolysis potential in WWTPs. Conclusions This study enhances our understanding of acetaminophen’s environmental fate and highlights the possible occurrence of ecological risks driven by imbalanced genes in the process of acetaminophen degradation in global WWTPs.

The large use and emission of p -nitrophenol (p-NP) seriously pollute the environment and endanger human health. In this work, a hydrazone-linked fluorescent covalent organic framework (BATHz-COF) was simply synthesized at room temperature and covalently linked N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NALC) via the "thiol-ene" click reaction, where carboxyl groups were introduced to improve dispersion and fluorescence intensity . As a rapid, good selectivity and reusability fluorescence sensor, the obtained COF-NALC has been used for quantitative analysis of p-NP predicated on the internal filtering effect (IFE). Under optimal conditions, COF-NALC enabled quantitative detection of p-NP with a linear range of 5–50 μM and the detection limit was 1.46 μM. The application of COF-NALC to the detection of p-NP in river water samples was successful, and the satisfactory recoveries were 98.0%–109.3%. Furthermore, the fluorescent COF paper chips constructed by in situ growth were combined with a smartphone to build a visual platform for the quick and real-time detection of p-NP, providing an excellent illustration for the development of intelligent fluorescence sensing in environmental analysis .

In order to improve the performance of inorganic/organic composites, aluminum trihydroxide (ATH) core composites with a styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer grafted with maleic anhydride (MAH- g -SEBS) shell phase, and P-N flame retardant as a synergistic agent, were prepared through an interface design. The effects of polyethylene glycol (PEG) content on the interfacial interaction, flame retardancy, thermal properties, and mechanical properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE)/ATH composites were investigated by small angle X-ray diffraction, rotational rheometer, limiting oxygen index, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and tensile testing. The ATH synergistic effects of P-N flame-retardant improved the combustion performance of HDPE/ATH/PEG(3%)/MAH- g -SEBS/P-N (abbreviated as HDPE/MH3/M- g -S/P-N) composite by forming more carbon layer, increased the elongation at break from 21% to 558% compared to HDPE/ATH, and increased the interface thickness from 0.447 to 0.891 nm. SEM results support the compatibility of ATH with HDPE increased and the interfacial effect was enhanced. TGA showed the maximum decomposition temperature of the two stages and the yield of the residue at high temperature increased first and then decreased with the increase of PEG content. Rheological behavior showed the storage modulus, complex viscosity, and the relaxation time initially increased and then decreased with the increase of PEG content indicating PEG, M- g -S, and ATH powder gradually formed a partial coating, then a full coating, and finally an over-coated core-shell structured model.

Black phosphorus/natural graphene (BP/NG) composite electrode material for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLIBs) was fabricated by a facile ball milling method. A C-P bond with characteristics of high ion and electron transfer was constructed, which unlocked the reversible cycling and rate performance of phosphorus. In addition, compounding black phosphorus (BP) with natural graphene (NG) can relieve the large internal stress caused by volume change during cycling and improve the stability of the long cycling and high-rate performance. At current density of 0.5 A g −1 , a high specific capacity of 750 mAh g −1 remained after 100 cycles, whereas at high current density of 1 A g −1 , the BP/NG anode material delivered a reversible capacity of ~300 mAh g −1 . Furthermore, the reaction controlling step of Li x P delithiation was revealed by kinetic measurement. In addition, when coupling BP/NG anode material with TiS 2 to assemble a full solid-state cell, it delivered a high capacity of 400 mAh g −1 after 30 cycles, indicating a potential of further application. This work expanded the candidate of anode materials for ASSLIBs and provided aid for the further application of all-solid-state batteries.
