A series of pyrochlore structure oxides (Gd 1− x Nd x ) 2 (Zr 1− y Ce y ) 2 O 7 (0 ≤ x , y ≤ 1.0) were fabricated and investigated. The end member of A-site substitution (Nd 2 Zr 2 O 7 ) maintains the original pyrochlore phase, while the ultimate compositions of B-site and simultaneous substitution have transformed to a single defect fluorite structure from the XRD results. The Raman spectra reveal the local coordination changes resulting from exotic-atom substitutions, especially from the B-site substitution. The microtopography and element distribution of the ultimate composition Nd 2 Ce 2 O 7 in the discussed system are characterized through SEM and TEM. The density and Vickers hardness of the compounds are provided for the basic mechanical performance evaluation.

Water-soluble thermoresponsive poly(γ-4-methylbenzyl-L-glutamate) bearing Y-shaped (i.e., oligo-ethylene-glycol and alkyl groups, such as 1-butyl, 1-hexyl, or 1-dodecyl) and triazolium tetrafluoroborate side-chains (PMBLG-OEG7/Cm-BF4, m = 4, 6, and 12) have been prepared by nucleophilic substitution of poly(γ-4-methylbenzyl-L-glutamate)-oligo-ethylene-glycol conjugates (PMBLG-OEG7) and various 1-alkyl bromide and ion-exchange reactions of triazolium bromide and NaBF4. Poly(γ-4-chloromethylbenzyl-L-glutamate) (PCMBLG) was derivatized into poly(γ-4-azidomethylbenzyl-L-glutamate) (PAMBLG), followed by reaction with propargyl functionalized polyethylene glycol monomethylether 350 (Pr-OEG7) via a copper-mediated 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to yield PMBLG-OEG7. PMBLG-OEG7/Cm-BF4, m = 4, 6, and 12) adopted an α-helical conformation and showed lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type phase behaviors in aqueous solutions. The cloud point temperature (Tcp) was significantly decreased with an increase in polymer concentration and salt (e.g., NaBF4) concentration. Elongating the alkyl chain length can further decrease the Tcp.

Targeted molecular imaging has attracted great attention in cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, most clinically used ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) are non-targeted microbubbles seldom used for cancer imaging. Here, we fabricated fluorescent nanobubbles (NBs) by encapsulation of liquid tetradecafluorohexane (C 6 F 14 ) within biodegradable photoluminescent polymers (BPLPs) through an emulsion-evaporation process and conjugation of PNBL-NPY ligand for specific targeting of Y 1 receptors overexpressed in breast tumors. The developed PNBL-NPY modified NBs were uniform in size with good dispersibility and photostability, presenting good ultrasound enhancement. Further, in vitro and in vivo results indicated that the fabricated NBs exhibit high affinity and specificity to Y 1 receptor-overexpressing breast cancer cells and tumors with minimal toxicity and damage to organs. Our developed PNBL-NPY-modified NBs are novel targeted UCAs for safe, efficient and specific targeted breast cancer imaging, and may provide a new nanoplatform for early cancer diagnosis and treatment in the future.

Multicomponent miktoarm stars with multifunctional Y junctions may provide us with new insights into their physicochemical properties and prospective applications. Considering the unique role of a gas stimulus in smart materials and the promising gradient-type properties induced by combined stimuli, this study aims at the synthesis, thermoresponsive and self-assembly behaviors of an O2-, redox-, thermo-, and pH-responsive 3-miktoarm star quarterpolymer. A robust method involving controlled polymerization, amine–thiol–ene conjugation and hydrolysis was developed to achieve a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-4-(2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethylcarbamoyl)ethylthio)-2-(acrylamido)-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)butanamide)-arm-poly(ε-caprolactone)-arm-poly(acrylic acid) star. Owing to the changes in amphiphilicity, chemical composition and mutual interactions, a single stimulus or various stimuli combinations could lead to switchable LCSTs and morphological transformations. Upon increasing pH, O2 treatment and oxidation, the copolymer solution was liable to exhibit enhanced LCST due to the improved hydrophilicity. The star quarterpolymer could self-assemble into multicompartment vesicles (pH 3.0), vesicles (pH 5.9) and small micelle/vesicle mixtures (pH 10) at ambient temperature. Upon thermo, redox and O2 stimuli, the assemblies formed at different pHs could be further converted into some other morphologies such as compound micelles and nanocapsules with hollow caves. Our research affords a general route to synthesize MMSs with tailored Y junctions, and the combination of the O2 stimulus with other stimuli may potentially expand the scope of multi-triggered properties and applications of star copolymers.

Synthesis and engineering of nanostructures with multiple components for the acceptable biosensing platform is a hot topic research. Herein, flower-like nonstoichiometric copper chalcogenides nanocrystals (Cu 2− x S y Se 1− y NCs) loaded with rhodamine 6G (R6G) were used as a selective and sensitive off-on fluorescent probe for biothiols based on inner filter effect (IFE). The Cu 2 −x S y Se 1− y showed the strong interband transition band in the UV–vis region and broad localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in the near-infrared region which exhibited good light-harvesting features, and thus can show sufficient absorption of the excitation or emission light of fluorescent R6G with high fluorescence quenching ability. When the biothiols (glutathione, homocysteine and cysteine) were added, the interband transition bands of Cu 2− x S y Se 1− y NCs were suppressed, resulting in the fluorescence of R6G switched on. There was a good linear relationship between fluorescent recovery of R6G and the concentrations of glutathione, homocysteine and cysteine over the range of 1.0–150 μM, 1.0–200 μM, 1.0–150 μM with a detection limit of 32.0 nM, 34.0 nM and 31.0 nM, respectively. The established strategy exhibited the selective response to biothiol compounds and was also been applied for detecting biothiols in the human serum samples.

The fabrication of macroporous materials exhibiting catalytic properties to degrade detrimental toxicants from water has gained significant interest. Herein, acrylamide-based pure cryogels were synthesized by UV-initiated free radical cryopolymerization method and were further incorporated with palladium nanoparticles employing the in situ chemical reduction method. The verification of the functional groups for the cryogels was done by using Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy. The formation of cryogels was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray and transmission electron microscopic methods, respectively. The macroporous morphological analysis of cryogels was done by scanning electron microscopy. Moreover, Thermo-gravimetric analysis showed that palladium incorporated cryogels exhibit more thermal stability as compared to pure cryogels. The palladium incorporated cryogel was implemented for degrading an organic dye, Eosin Y. The catalysis efficiency of Pd-incorporated cryogels was also compared to a conventional Pd-embedded hybrid hydrogel. The impact of cross-linker content, temperature, and catalyst amount on degradation rate was studied by UV–visible spectroscopy. The degradation time for Eosin Y dye using 0.5 g of Pd-nanoparticles embedded cryogel with 3 % crosslinker content was 10 min at 25 º C. By considering their feasible UV-initiated synthesis route and adsorption enactment, the fabricated cryogel could be applied as a suitable prototype for water clean-up solutions.

A series of vanillin derivatives incorporating a bis(2-hydroxyethyl)dithioacetal moiety was designed and synthesized via a facile method. A plausible reaction pathway was proposed and verified by computational studies. Bioassay results demonstrated that target compounds possessed good to excellent activities against potato virus Y (PVY) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), of which, compound 6f incorporating a bis(2-hydroxyethyl)dithioacetal moiety, exhibited the best curative and protection activities against PVY and CMV in vivo, with 50% effective concentration values of 217.6, 205.7 μg/mL and 206.3, 186.2 μg/mL, respectively, better than those of ribavirin (848.0, 808.1 μg/mL and 858.2, 766.5 μg/mL, respectively), dufulin (462.6, 454.8 μg/mL and 471.2, 465.4 μg/mL, respectively), and ningnanmycin (440.5, 425.3 μg/mL and 426.1, 405.3 μg/mL, respectively). Current studies provide support for the application of vanillin derivatives incorporating bis(2-hydroxyethyl)dithioacetal as new antiviral agents.

Morphological tuning or additional cation doping is one of the potential and simple methods to enhance the photocatalytic properties of ceria, in which rare-earth element doped ceria nanorods (CeO2-RE NRs) are expected to be a promising photocatalyst with high activity. But the optimal doping conditions, including the variety and concentration of RE elements are ambiguous, and the contribution of doped RE ions to the enhancement of photocatalytic activity needs to be further studied. In this work, we doped La, Y and Sm with a wide range of 0%–30% into CeO2 NRs, and investigated the phase, morphology, band gap, oxygen vacancy concentration, PL spectra and photocatalytic activity variation under different doping conditions. All synthesized CeO2-RE NRs possessed a good nanorod morphology except the 15 and 30% Y-doped samples. The energy band gaps of the synthesized samples changed slightly; the 10% CeO2-RE NRs with the narrowest band gaps possessed the higher photocatalytic performance. The most outstanding photocatalyst was found to be the 10% Y-doped CeO2 NRs with a methylene blue photodegradation ratio of 85.59% and rate constant of 0.0134 min−1, which is particularly associated with a significant higher oxygen vacancy concentration and obviously lower recombination rate of photogenerated e−/h+ pairs. The doped RE ions and the promotion of oxygen vacancy generation impede the recombination of photogenerated carriers, which is proposed as the main reason to enhance the photocatalytic property of CeO2.

Rare-earth ions doped Ca 0.9 R 0.1 CeNbMoO 8 ( R = Y, Sm, Nd, La) ceramics have been successfully prepared by solid-state method, and their modifications to the microstructure and electrical properties are also investigated. The rare-earth ions doped ceramics exhibit the scheelite structure. With the increase in the radius of rare-earth ions, the lattice distortion and bond interaction will be enhanced, and the consistency of grain size will be reduced. The ceramics exhibit negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor characteristics in the temperature range of 473 K-1273 K, and the activation energy decreases with the increase of the radius of rare-earth ions. Rare-earth ions doping can increase the content of Ce 3+ ions and promote the conductivity of ceramics. Except for Sm 3+ -doped ceramics, the high-temperature aging rate of other ceramics is less than 2%. The existence of some metastable Sm 2+ ions in Sm 3+ -doped ceramics not only increases the activation energy, but also reduces the high-temperature stability of the ceramics.

A series of BaCeO 3 modified with different rare earth elements (La, Y, Pr) were synthesized by co-precipitation and calcination and the effect of rare earth elements for catalytic ammonia synthesis under mild conditions was studied. The ammonia synthesis performance tests show that 2.5% Ru/BaCe 0.9 La 0.1 O 3– δ catalyst (All the percentages of Ru in this article are in mass fraction) exhibits the highest ammonia synthesis rate (34 mmol/(g·h)) at 3 MPa, 450 °C, and no sign of deactivation after 100 h of reaction. H 2 -TPR and XPS analyses indicate that the introduction of La increases the amount of oxygen vacancies of the catalyst, which is beneficial to increasing the electron density of Ru surface. HRTEM analysis shows that the Ru particle size is reduced greatly after La is introduced, which facilitates the catalyst generating more B 5 -type sites (active sites of Ru species for N N dissociation). CO 2 -TPD analysis indicates that BaCe 0.9 La 0.1 O 3– δ has stronger basicity , which promotes electrons transfer from support to Ru. This work provides an effective method for design and synthesis of Ru-based multi-element composite perovskite oxide catalysts.

Porous biochar derived from discarded corn stalks was developed as a regenerable adsorbent for treating Tl-containing wastewater. The Tl adsorption capacity of Fe–Mn–Y doped biochar (FMYBC) was significantly enhanced compared to unmodified biochar. The IPD model accurately described Tl(I) adsorption on FMYBC, indicating that intraparticle diffusion is a key controlling step. Removal efficiency remained largely stable over a broad initial pH range of 3–13. Doping with rare earth elements markedly improved the adsorption performance of Fe Mn modified biochar under acidic conditions. However, the presence of coexisting ions (Na + , Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ ) reduced FMYBC's Tl + adsorption capacity. After two adsorption–desorption cycles, MFYBC retained 86.4% of its initial Tl removal capacity, demonstrating good stability and regeneration potential. Based on XPS and FTIR analyses, the primary Tl(I) removal mechanisms include ion exchange, surface complexation, and oxidation.

The hierarchical porous architecture of sugarcane peel was successfully replicated using a biological template method. The samples were fabricated via a sol-gel process combined with ambient pressure drying, and the Si-Zr-Al-Y system integrated with the biomass template was pyrolyzed at temperatures ranging from 700 °C to 1300 °C to obtain Si-Zr-Al-Y oxide ceramic composites. The evolution of the microstructure and phase composition of the Si-Zr-Al-Y system during pyrolysis was systematically investigated. The incorporation of biomass templates facilitated the retention of a relatively fine mesoporous structure (6.88 nm) and low thermal conductivity (0.035 W·m⁻¹·K⁻¹) up to 1100 °C, although pore coarsening and specific surface area reduction became evident at higher temperatures (1300 °C). Furthermore, the influence of processing temperature on specific surface area, pore size, and pore structure was examined in detail. This study not only establishes a foundation for future research but also provides insights into sustainable industrial waste management and contributes to global sustainable development strategies.
