Photo-electrochemical (PEC) and photocatalytic (PC) water splitting are promising solutions to achieve solar-powered hydrogen production. In the present work, to integrate the merits of PEC and PC techniques, a p–n conjugated two-electrode water-splitting system was miniaturized into one particle (denoted as electrode particle) for PC reactions. Specifically, a p-type Rh-doped strontium titanate (Rh:SrTiO3) photocathode material was selectively deposited on the electron-accumulated facet of a particulate n-type Mo-doped bismuth vanadate (Mo:BiVO4) photoanode with inserting a partly oxidized In@InOx interlayer as a grain binder and charge conductor. The photoexcited charge migration and accumulation were visualized through light-assisted Kelvin probe force microscopy. Benefited from efficient interfacial charge transfer and effective surface modification, visible light-driven PC overall water splitting into H2 and O2 was achieved over the prepared Mo:BiVO4/In@InOx/Rh:SrTiO3 electrode particle with an intense-light stability up to 40 h, an ambient pressure endurability from 5 to 95 kPa, and a solar-to-hydrogen energy conversion efficiency of 1.2 × 10–2%. This work develops a strategy of designing an efficient composite photocatalyst for PC overall water splitting and provides insights toward the enhancement of charge transfer efficiency across hetero-semiconductors.

We rapidly synthesized N,P-dual-doped carbon dots (N,P-CDs) via the acid-base neutralization spontaneous heat using a simple blend of phthalic acid, 1,2-ethylenediamine, and concentrated phosphoric acid. The approach is automatic without external heat treatment to speedily produce dozens of N,P-CDs, which refrain high temperature, sophisticated manipulations, and long reaction times. As-fabricated N,P-CDs with excellent luminescent properties, superior biocompatibility and respectable fluorescence quantum yield (QY) of 15% have been employed for the development of a label-free multifunctional fluorescence sensing platform for the detection of Mn(VII), temperature sensing and cellular imaging. Mn(VII) is able to effectively quench the fluorescence of N,P-CDs based on inner filter effect (IFE) because the absorption bands of Mn(VII) can perfectly overlap the emission and excitation wavelengths of N,P-CDs. The system had high selectivity toward Mn(VII) and the detection limit was 48.3 nM in the broad linear span from 10 μM to 200μM. Moreover, the N,P-CDs were extended for sensing Mn(VII) in living cell due to favorable biocompatibility and negligible cytotoxicity. Furthermore, the sensors showed a linear and reversible variation of emission intensity for a temperature range from 25℃ to 80℃, with a sensitivity of −1.79% per ℃. The practical implications of N,P-CDs for Mn(VII) detection have been demonstrated in Teas leaves and Medicinal herbs samples with satisfactory results.

Aqueous zinc ion hybrid supercapacitors (ZHSCs) have attracted considerable attention owing to the bivalent nature, high abundance, and stability in the water-based system of zinc. High energy density and superb power output can be achieved simultaneously by integrating a battery-type electrode and a capacitive-type electrode. However, there are still many issues that remain, including but not only hydrogen evolution reaction, dendrite growth, and dramatic capacity loss at low temperatures. Herein, a new type of hybrid “water-in-salt” hydrogel electrolyte based on 1 m Zn(CH 3 COO) 2 and 20 m CH 3 COOK to expand the voltage window of ZHSCs to 0–2.1 V by suppressing the decomposition of water molecules is developed. The aqueous ZHSC delivers maximum energy of 100.2 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 487.5 W kg −1 based on the active materials and displays excellent cycling stability with 99.5% capacitance retention after 4000 cycles. Meanwhile, it is found that the assembled flexible quasi-solid-state ZHSC using the potassium polyacrylate/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogel electrolyte (containing 1 m Zn(CH 3 COO) 2 and 20 m CH 3 COOK) also shows high-performance (energy density of 106.5 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 383.3 W kg −1 ) with temperature adaptability at low temperature and wearable application potential with excellent energy storage performance.

Peracetic acid (PAA) has garnered considerable interest due to its exceptional disinfection properties and strong oxidizing capabilities. However, the coexistent hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) in the PAA solution, which has similar chemical characteristics with PAA, makes accurate measurement of PAA concentration challenging. In this study, a rapid, sensitive, and reliable spectrophotometric method for determining PAA was developed. The method involves the oxidation of N , N -diethyl- p -phenylenediamine (DPD) by Co(II)-catalyzed PAA, resulting in the formation of a stable pink DPD radical (DPD ●+ ). It is worth noting that Co(Ⅱ) is an excellent PAA catalyst but is inactive with H 2 O 2 . Consequently, there is minimal interference from the coexistent H 2 O 2 in the determination of PAA. The absorbance of DPD ●+ at 551 nm was well linear (R 2 > 0.999) with concentrations of PAA in the range of 0–80 μM under optimized reaction conditions, and the limit of detection was determined to be low as 0.175 μM. Furthermore, the proposed Co(II)-DPD spectrophotometric method demonstrates strong resistance to common natural water constituents (ferric ions, sulphate ions, nitrate ions, chloride ions, bicarbonate ions, and humic acid) and is suitable for the accurate determination of PAA in natural water sources like groundwater and surface water. Additionally, the proposed Co(II)-DPD spectrophotometric method was dependable for quantifying PAA concentrations and monitoring PAA changes in Co(II)/PAA, Cu(II)/PAA, Fe(II)/PAA, and hydroxylamine/Fe(II)/PAA processes. In conclusion, the proposed Co(II)-DPD spectrophotometric method can be utilized as an alternative method for the rapid and accurate determination of PAA in water.

In this study, a NiO-PbBiO 2 Br photocatalyst was developed by a simple chemical precipitation approach followed by a hydrothermal process to eliminate tetracycline (TC). The resultant materials were assessed utilizing diverse characterization techniques. Compared with pure PbBiO 2 Br (49.5 %) and NiO (56.8 %), the NiO-PbBiO 2 Br composite exhibited superior photocatalytic effectiveness for removing TC under visible light and achieved a remarkable 98.4 % elimination of TC within 70 min (conditions: [TC] = 10 mg/L, pH 7 and [catalyst] = 1 g/L). The reaction rate constant (K) values are in the following order: NiO-PbBiO 2 Br (0.0591 min −1 ) > NiO (0.0119 min −1 ) > PbBiO 2 Br (0.0097 min −1 ). The markedly improved photocatalytic efficiency of NiO-PbBiO 2 Br can be ascribed to the expanded light absorption and the establishment of p-n heterojunction amid NiO and PbBiO 2 Br. The effects of several important factors, e.g. TC concentration, pH, catalyst dosage, and different water sources, were thoroughly investigated. Cycle tests were performed to confirm the stability and reusability of NiO-PbBiO 2 Br. Furthermore, electron spin resonance (ESR) and radical scavenging studies verified that the species •O 2 − , h + , and •OH play a key role in removing TC. The susceptible active regions of TC and the probable TC degradation routes were examined through density functional theory (DFT) calculations and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses. Thus, this work presents a new methodology for creating a photocatalyst with enhanced photocatalytic effectiveness for removing organic pollutants in water.

P'2-type manganese-rich layered oxides are promising cathodes for sodium-ion batteries. However, their synthesis requires unconventional rapid quenching to prevent O₂ absorption and P'2-P2 phase transformation during cooling, which compromises scalability and safety. Moreover, Jahn-Teller active ion enrichment and irreversible phase transitions during cycling impair structural stability. These synthesis challenges and inadequate electrochemical performance hinder practical applications. Herein, we report for the first time a simple solid-state synthesis of P'2-Na 0.55 Mg 0.05 Mn 0.90 O 2 (Na□MM□) cathode with a 3.78% lattice distortion through a dual-vacancy strategy. The Na□MM□ cathode delivers an ultrahigh energy density of 786 Wh·kg −1 . Na vacancies stabilize P'2 structure and enable a reversible P'2-OP4 transition, delivering 35 mA·h·g⁻¹ extra capacity. TM vacancies further synergize with Na vacancies to stabilize the TM-O framework, suppressing lattice oxygen loss and Mn³⁺ enrichment, which improves 100 cycles capacity retention by 28.7%. This work advances the synthesis and electrochemistry of P'2-type materials, offering a practical path toward application. Download: Download high-res image (286KB) Download: Download full-size image

Immobilizing reactive Mg phases within macroscopic hydrogel matrices may couple nutrient mineralization with direct retention of the resulting solid product, but such material-integrated systems remain insufficiently explored. Here, a macroscopic Mg(OH) 2 -loaded lignin hydrogel (Mg(OH) 2 @LH) was developed for nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) recovery from simulated digestate. The self-supporting hydrogel contained 115.60 ± 20.90 mg Mg·g −1 while retaining its porous block architecture. For powdered Mg(OH) 2 @LH passed through a 100-mesh sieve, Mg(OH) 2 @LH achieved apparent NH 4 + -N and total phosphorus uptake capacities of 73.99 and 30.99 mg·g −1 , respectively. NH 4 + -N removal varied modestly and non-monotonically with MgCl 2 impregnation concentration, whereas TP removal remained statistically unchanged across the tested preparation range. Nutrient recovery was sensitive to solution pH and N/P stoichiometry. XRD, FTIR, and SEM–EDS analyses supported the formation of a struvite-containing phase during nutrient recovery, while the non-stoichiometric N/P removal indicated contributions from processes other than struvite formation to the decrease in aqueous NH 4 + -N. Importantly, the recovered struvite-containing lignin hydrogel (MAP-LH) retained a centimeter-scale, self-supporting block form and could be directly retrieved from the liquid phase without additional fine-solid separation. Although intact blocks showed lower nutrient uptake than powdered material, this revealed a trade-off between mass transfer and macroscopic retrievability. Subsequent acidic-soil column experiments showed that MAP-LH resulted in a 53.3% lower cumulative TN leaching ratio than soluble N–P fertilizer and partially alleviated soil acidity. These results demonstrate a retrievable hydrogel architecture that integrates Mg-phase immobilization, nutrient recovery, macroscopic product retention, and post-recovery soil application.

With the rapid advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI), the paradigm of human-machine interaction is shifting toward immersive and multidimensional experiences. In this study, a post-poling-free P(VDF-TrFE)/BTO (PVTB) composite nanofiber sensor with high electroactivity was fabricated by leveraging the synergy between charge trapping and interfacial polarization at the BTO/P(VDF-TrFE) interface, combined with in-situ electric-field orientation during electrospinning. The resulting nanofibers exhibit a mean diameter of 469.8 ± 168.2 nm, and the PVTB membrane achieves a high β-phase content of 82.86%. The PVTB sensor exhibits a sensitivity of 530.6 mV·kPa −1 within the low-pressure range of 0.33–3.33 kPa and 18.2 mV·kPa −1 within the pressure range of 3.33–83.33 kPa, with a minimum detectable force of 0.2 N, a response time of 21 ms, and 88.1% voltage retention after 10000 loading cycles. The PVTB sensor enables effective monitoring of ultra-weak muscle tremor signals, while finger tapping produces an output voltage of approximately 0.4 V. A four-channel “material-device-circuit-virtual feedback” closed-loop interactive system was constructed, demonstrating the potential of flexible piezoelectric sensors in immersive human-machine interaction and providing a precise digital approach for movement disorder rehabilitation.

Hypercholesterolemia is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Although germinated brown rice (GBR) is rich in bioactive constituents and has shown preliminary lipid-regulating potential, the active compounds and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Therefore, this study comparatively investigated extracts from four GBR cultivars and evaluated their cholesterol-regulating activity using untargeted metabolomics in combination with a cholesterol-induced HepG2 cell model. After 36 h of germination, the extracts showed significantly increased total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activities (p< 0.05), with cultivar Q showing the strongest response. In the in vitro cholesterol-induced HepG2 cell model, GBR extract at 150 μg/mL significantly reduced intracellular total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels by approximately 69%, 73%, and 46%, respectively, while increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels by approximately 125% (allp< 0.05). Untargeted metabolomics and subsequent validation suggested that p-coumaric acid is a candidate bioactive compound contributing to the cholesterol-lowering effect of GBR. Further analysis indicated that this effect may be associated with modulation of the mRNA expression levels of SREBP2, HMGCR, and LDLR. These findings indicate that germination enhances the bioactivity of brown rice in a cultivar-dependent manner and provides supporting evidence for the potential application of GBR as a functional food ingredient for lipid management.

To advance the development of high-performance rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) with efficient oxygen electrochemistry, significant progress is needed in research on Fe-based nanoparticle/single-atom bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts. Nevertheless, the structure-activity relationship and synergy mechanism of Fe-based nnoparticle/single-atom hybrid catalysts are not well-known. Herein, Self-supported carbon nanofiber electrocatalysts with in-situ synthesized FeS, Fe 2 P, or Fe 3 C nanoparticles and atomically dispersed Fe-N x sites were prepared in this work by the coaxial electrospinning method. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and density functional theory (DFT) simulations showed that there was a significant change in charge distribution, an increase in the adsorption of *O intermediates, and a decrease in the *OH desorption energy barrier at the FeS/FeSA interface. It can be concluded that FeS/FeSA has better electronic and adsorption properties than Fe 2 P/FeSA and Fe 3 C/FeSA. Therefore, FeS/FeSA has an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) half-wave potential of 0.89 V and an oxygen evolution reaction (OER) overpotential of 240 mV at 10 mA/cm 2 , which is relatively high compared with that of Fe 2 P/FeSA (0.79 V, 260 mV) and Fe 3 C/FeSA (0.77 V, 250 mV), and it has a small potential gap (Δ E ) of 0.58 V. FeS/FeSA can be used as the air cathode in liquid ZABs; it has a high peak power density of 116 mW/cm 2 and is stable for more than 150 hours. The above results have laid the foundation for the construction of high-performance air cathode catalysts by means of effective coupling of atomic nanoparticles and shown the direction for developing high-efficiency, long-life rechargeable zinc-air batteries.

Photocatalytic oxidation technology holds promise for ideal advanced treatment of antibiotic wastewater. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are a new hotspot in catalytic science, but the photochemical studies on the removal of antibiotics from water and biocompatibility after entering the environment are scarce. In this work, we prepared a single Mn atom immobilized on N-doped biochar (Mn@N-Biochar) by impregnation calcination method for enhancing photocatalytic degradation of sulfanilamide (SNM) in different types of various water systems. Compared with the original biochar, Mn@N-Biochar showed enhanced SNM degradation and TOC removal capacity. DFT calculation concluded that the electrons of d‐orbital (Mn) and p-orbital (N) altered the electronic structure of biochar and enhanced the photoelectric performance. It was shown that Mn@N-Biochar caused negligible systemic inflammation and tissue damage when given orally in mice, and also did not alter cell death and ROS production in human lung, kidney, and liver cells, as compared with biochar. We are convinced that Mn@N-Biochar could enhance the photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics while maintaining biocompatibility, which could be a promising strategy for wastewater treatment .

The aim of this work is to effectively combine the advantages of polymer and ceramic nanoparticles and improve the comprehensive performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) diaphragm. A flexible film composed of electro-spun P(VDF-HFP) nanofibers covered by a layer of mesoporous silica (P(VDF-HFP)@SiO2) was synthesized via a sol–gel transcription method, then used as a scaffold to absorb organic electrolyte to make gel a electrolyte membrane (P(VDF-HFP)@SiO2-GE) for LIBs. The P(VDF-HFP)@SiO2-GE presents high electrolyte uptake (~1000 wt%), thermal stability (up to ~350 °C), ionic conductivity (~2.6 mS cm−1at room temperature), and excellent compatibility with an active Li metal anode. Meanwhile, F-doping carbon/silica composite nanofibers (F-C@SiO2) were also produced by carbonizing the P(VDF-HFP)@SiO2film under Ar and used to make an electrode. The assembled F-C@SiO2|P(VDF-HFP)@SiO2-GE|Li half-cell showed long-cycle stability and a higher discharge specific capacity (340 mAh g−1) than F-C@SiO2|Celgard 2325|Li half-cell (175 mAh g−1) at a current density of 0.2 A g−1after 300 cycles, indicating a new way for designing and fabricating safer high-performance LIBs.Keywords:composite materials;electro-spun nanofiber;gel electrolyte;carbonaceous anode;lithium-ion batteries
