Ischemic stroke remains a leading global cause of mortality and disability, creating an urgent need for improved treatments. Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloy stents represent a promising advancement for cerebrovascular applications due to their inherent biocompatibility, mechanical suitability, and unique neuroprotective properties conferred by Mg ions. However, the clinical translation of Mg alloy stents, particularly for sensitive cerebral vasculature, is hindered by two major bottlenecks: uncontrolled rapid degradation leading to premature structural failure and delayed endothelialization contributing to restenosis and thrombosis. Addressing the critical issue of biological functionality, this study develops a novel sulfonated hyaluronic acid-tyrosine microsphere (S-HA-Tyr@microsphere) coating on ZE21B Mg alloy. Monodisperse S-HA-Tyr microspheres were precisely fabricated using microfluidics and stabilized via a visible-light catalyzed tris(2,2-bipyridyl)-dichlororuthenium(II)/Sodium persulfate (Ru/SPS) system, forming a robust dityrosine bond network. This multifunctional coating integrates corrosion resistance (primarily achieved through an established MgF 2 interlayer), strong anchoring (PDA layer), and enhanced bioactivity (S-HA-Tyr@microspheres). The S-HA-Tyr@microsphere coating significantly improved hemocompatibility, reducing hemolysis to 0.35% ( p < 0.01) and platelet adhesion by 83.7% ( p < 0.001). Crucially, it promoted endothelial cells (ECs) migration and proliferation ( p < 0.01) while inhibiting smooth muscle cells (SMCs) overgrowth ( p < 0.05) and inducing macrophage M2 polarization ( p < 0.01), demonstrating excellent cell-specific regulation. In vivo evaluation confirmed the efficacy: abdominal aortic implantation in rats for 28 d revealed a superior diameter retention for the coated implants compared to bare alloy ( p < 0.05) and showed continuous endothelium with reduced neointimal formation ( p < 0.01). This innovative coating strategy facilitates both degradation control and accelerated endothelialization, overcoming key biological barriers for the clinical application of biodegradable Mg alloy cerebrovascular stents.

In this work, g-C3N4/ZIF-8 heterojunction photocatalysts were synthesised by the process by which the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 nanoparticles were grown onto the g-C3N4 layer in situ. Bismuth element was doped into the as-prepared g-C3N4/ZIF-8 material and a new type of Bi@g-C3N4/ZIF-8 composite photocatalysts was manufactured, in which the doping element acts in adjusting the bandgap in the photocatalysts. The prepared photocatalysts were characterised by XRD, FESEM, TEM, FTIR, XPS, UV–VIS DRS, photoluminescence and photo-electrochemical experiments. The results show that the ZIF-8 nanoparticles grown in situ were well-formed onto the g-C3N4 layer, and bismuth was evenly doped into the gaps of the g-C3N4/ZIF-8 framework. The degradation rate of methylene blue by CNZ-1.5(Bi)-12, which was a photocatalyst composed of 12% Bi-doped with g-C3N4/ZIF-8 material (the mass ratio of g-C3N4: ZIF-8 = 1:1.5), reached 86.6% under visible light irradiation within 60 min. The free radical scavenging experiment and electron spin resonance spectroscopy showed that ∙OH was the main active substance. Bismuth doping into the photocatalytic system promotes the excitation of electrons from the valence band to the conduction band and provides a good channel for the transmission of photogenerated carriers as well. It is achieved that intensive visible light absorption, the enhanced separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers, and excellent thermal stability and high recyclability in the novel composite photocatalyst, owing to the synergistic effect of the introduced bismuth with the heterostructure of g-C3N4/ZIF-8. Therefore, the synthesised Bi@g-C3N4/ZIF-8 heterojunction photocatalysts may be used as a good photocatalyst for purifying and degrading organic matter in sewage.

Light, magnetic field, and methylation affected the growth and secondary metabolism of fungi. The regulation effect of the three factors on the growth and Monascus pigments (MPs) synthesis of Monascus purpureus was investigated in this study. 5-azacytidine (5-AzaC), DNA methylation inhibitor, was used to treat M. purpureus (wild-type, WT). Twenty micromolar 5-AzaC significantly promoted the growth, development, and MPs yield. Moreover, 250 lux red light and red light coupled magnetic field (RLCMF) significantly promoted the biomass. For WT, red light, and RLCMF significantly promoted MPs yield. But compared with red light treatment, only 0.2 mT RLCMF promoted the alcohol-soluble MPs yield. For histone H3K4 methyltransferase complex subunit Ash2 gene knockout strain (Δ Ash2 ), only 0.2 mT RLCMF significantly promoted water-soluble MPs yield. Yet red light, 1.0 and 0.2 mT RLCMF significantly promoted alcohol-soluble MPs yield. This indicated that methylation affected the MPs biosynthesis. Red light and weaker MF had a synergistic effect on the growth and MPs synthesis of Δ Ash2 . This result was further confirmed by the expression of related genes. Therefore, histone H3K4 methyltransferase was involved in the regulation of the growth, development, and MPs synthesis of M. purpureus by the RLCMF.

Photonic artificial synapses have become favorable candidates for the basic architecture of neuromorphic computing systems due to their high bandwidth, low power consumption , and low crosstalk . However, work on visible light modulated synaptic devices with biological postsynaptic currents has rarely been reported. Herein, we report a photonic synaptic device operating at ultra-low currents. It employs perovskite CsPbI 2 Br as the light-absorbing layer and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) as the carrier blocking layer. The resulting device exhibits excellent visual cell simulation capability in the visible light range. An ultra-low post-synaptic current of picoampere level can be achieved with visible-light modulation, which is much lower than that of normal photonic synaptic devices. It also exhibited superior memory retention of over 1000 s and low power consumption of 4.25 pJ. Furthermore, the sensory memory (SM), short-term memory (STM), and long-term memory (LTM) are successfully simulated in visible light. An artificial neural network-based neuromorphic computing was also simulated, with the recognition accuracy of MNIST data reaching 95.99% for small digits and 95.34% for large digits. Overall, our work provides promising strategies for low-current photonic neuromorphic applications.

White-light emitting diodes (WLEDs) are mainly constructed by stacking different light-emitting layers with complementary emission spectra. However, this not only requires complex device fabrication processes but also needs comprehensive charge transport regulation, limiting the development and application of WLEDs. In this work, efficient single-layer WLEDs are achieved via doping tiny amount of a red polymer poly[[9-(1-octylnonyl)-9H- carbazole-2,7-diyl]-2,5-thiophenediyl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-4,7-diyl-2,5 thiophenediy (PCDTBT8) into the perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) matrix. The 490 nm sky blue perovskite nanocrystals (FA 0.08 Cs 0.92 PbBr 2 Cl) are synthesized and passivated with a short-chain ligand 3-methoxyphenethylamine (MPEA), which enhances luminance and stability at high bias. Energy transfer from NCs to PCDTBT8 significantly enhances red-light emitting in the range from 600 to 750 nm, enabling white-light emission. By tuning of the NCs :PCDTBT8 weight ratio from 400:1 to 150:1, a continuous transition of emission from cold white-light to warm white-light is achieved. With the NCs:PCDTBT8 weight ratio of 250:1, a standard white-light emission with the Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.33, 0.33), a luminance of 752 cd/m 2 and an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 1.59% are obtained at a fairly low voltage of 4.8 V.

Treatment for chronic diabetic wounds remains a clinical challenge. Wound healing process occurs in three phases: inflammation, proliferation and remodeling. Several factors including bacterial infection, decreased local angiogenesis and diminished blood supply delay wound healing. There is an urgent need to develop wound dressings with multiple biological effects for different stages of diabetic wound healing. Here, we develop a multifunctional hydrogel with two-stage sequential release upon near-infrared (NIR) stimulation, antibacterial activity and pro-angiogenic efficacy. This hydrogel consists of covalently crosslinked bilayer structure, with the lower thermoresponsive poly( N -isopropylacrylamide)/gelatin methacrylate (NG) layer and the upper highly stretchable alginate/polyacrylamide (AP) layer embedding different peptide-functionalized gold nanorods (AuNRs) in each layer. Antimicrobial peptide-functionalized AuNRs released from NG layer exert antibacterial effects. After NIR irradiation, the photothermal transition efficacy of AuNRs synergistically enhances bactericidal efficacy. The contraction of thermoresponsive layer also promotes the release of embedded cargos during early stage. The pro-angiogenic peptide-functionalized AuNRs released from AP layer promote angiogenesis and collagen deposition by accelerating fibroblast and endothelial cell proliferation , migration and tube formation during the subsequent healing phases. Therefore, the multifunctional hydrogel with effective antibacterial activity, pro-angiogenic efficacy and sequential release behaviors is a potential biomaterial for diabetic chronic wound healing.

The preparation of room temperature phosphorescent carbon dots still faces great challenges, especially in the case of carbon dots endowed of visible-light excitable room temperature phosphorescence (RTP). To date, a limited number of substrates have been exploited to synthesize room temperature phosphorescent carbon dots, and most of them can emit RTP only in solid state. Here, the synthesis of a composite obtained from the calcination of green carbon dots (g-CDs) blended with aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH) 3 ) is reported. The resultant hybrid material g-CDs@Al 2 O 3 exhibits blue fluorescence and green RTP emissions in an on/off switch process at 365 nm. Notably, this composite manifests strong resistance to extreme acid and basic conditions up to 30 days of treatment. The dense structure of Al 2 O 3 formed by calcination contributes to the phosphorescent emission of g-CDs. Surprisingly, g-CDs@Al 2 O 3 can also emit yellow RTP under irradiation with white light. The multicolor emissions can be employed for anti-counterfeiting and information encryption. This work provides a straightforward approach to produce room temperature phosphorescent carbon dots for a wide range of applications.

With the simple perovskite structure, Bi 2 WO 6 could be utilized as a modifier to overcome the low visible light response of the wide energy band photocatalyst ZnS. Flower-like Bi 2 WO 6 was simply synthesized by hydrothermal method and Bi 2 WO 6 /ZnS heterojunction was constructed via solvothermal reaction. The results showed that ZnS nanospheres were uniformly loaded on the flower-like structure, which was well kept under low concentration loading (≤20%ωt ZnS). The degradation of MB and Rh.B under visible light was used to measure the photocatalytic activity of the photocatalysts. The degradation rates of MB and Rh.B by 20%ωt-Bi 2 WO 6 /ZnS were as high as 94.3% and 92.8%, respectively. Moreover, the degradation performance of photocatalyst still maintained 89.3% after 4 times recycling tests. The visible light absorption ability of modified ZnS was improved, and the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes was inhibited due to the formation of heterojunction. According to the data from density functional theory calculation, the composition of the valence band and conductive band of the Bi 2 WO 6 /ZnS system has been altered. The band gap of Bi 2 WO 6 /ZnS was reduced by roughly 1.12 eV compared to that of pure ZnS, and the work function analysis were in good agreement with the experimental results. Under light stimulation, electrons were transferred from Bi 2 WO 6 to ZnS to produce superoxide radicals which played key roles in the degradation reaction of dyes.

Highly fluorescent carbon nanodots (CNDs) have broad application prospects in optoelectronics, energy, biological imaging, and other fields because of their good solubility in water, adjustable photoluminescence (PL), low toxicity, good biocompatibility, and stable chemical properties. In this paper, polyethyleneimine@CNDs (PEI@CNDs) with unique excitation- and concentration-dependent PL properties were synthesized by a one-pot hydrothermal approach. The morphology, structure, surface chemistry, photophysical properties, and stability of the PEI@CNDs were well probed. The PEI@CNDs solution at low concentration displayed blue PL with a quantum yield of 50.6%. As the concentrations of the PEI@CNDs increase, the PL colors changed from blue, cyan, and green, to greenish-yellow. At low concentration, the excitation-independent and excitation-dependent PL property is mainly caused by carbon core and surface state emission. However, at higher concentration, the quenched blue emission and enhanced green emission were found. This is mainly attributed to the aggregate-related inner filter effect, electron transfer, and surface states. Mixing 10.0 mg/mL of PEI@CNDs with polyvinyl alcohol can be used to construct composite films, which were combined with the blue light-emitting diode to construct white light-emitting diodes with white and warm white emissions.Keywords:polyethyleneimine@carbon nanodots;excitation- and concentration-dependent photoluminescence;surface state;inner filter effect;electron transfer;white light-emitting diode

The traditional semiconductor photocatalysts for solving the related environmental aggravation are often challenged by the recombination of photogenerated carriers. Designing an S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst is one of the keys to tackling its practical application problems. This paper reports an S-scheme AgVO 3 /Ag 2 S heterojunction photocatalyst constructed via a straightforward hydrothermal approach that exhibits outstanding photocatalytic degradation performances to the organic dye Rhodamine B (RhB) and antibiotic Tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) driven by visible light. The results show that AgVO 3 /Ag 2 S heterojunction with a molar ratio of 6:1 (V6S) possesses the highest photocatalytic performances, 99% of RhB can be almost degraded by 0.1 g/L V6S within 25 min light illumination, and about 72% of TC-HCl can be photodegraded with the act of 0.3 g/L V6S under 120 min light irradiation. Meanwhile, the AgVO 3 /Ag 2 S system exhibits superior stability and maintains high photocatalytic activity after 5 repeated tests. Moreover, the EPR measurement and radical capture test identify that superoxide radicals and hydroxyl radicals mainly contribute to the photodegradation process. The present work demonstrates that constructing an S-scheme heterojunction can effectively inhibit the recombination of carriers, providing insights into the fabrication of applied photocatalysts for practical wastewater purification treatment.

Zinc oxide–Graphitic carbon nitride (ZnO@g-C 3 N 4 ) composite membranes were prepared via in-situ growing ZnO crystals in the g-C 3 N 4 membrane. In this composite membrane, ZnO crystals were embedded in loose surface layers of g-C 3 N 4 membrane, which can repair some non-selective defects and improve the dye retention performance. In addition, the hetero-structures formed between ZnO and g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets promoted the separation of photogenerated electron-holes in g-C 3 N 4 layer, and improving the photocatalytic and anti-fouling performance of ZnO@g-C 3 N 4 composite membranes. Herein, the prepared composite membranes showed excellent dye removal performance and self-cleaning property in dynamic recirculation filtration systems under visible light irradiation. The optimized sample (CNZ-0.15 g) showed MB removal efficiency of 94.4% and water flux of 336.8 L.m −2 .bar −1 .h −1 . The outcome of this research would suggest the application of graphitic nitride nanomaterials for developing highly efficient photocatalytic membranes.
