The sluggish charge-carrier kinetics for conventional photocatalysts severely limit the photogenerated charge utilization and result in unfavorable hydrogen evolution efficiency. To address these challenges, CoS/S v -ZnIn 2 S 4 /Ni(OH) 2 photocatalysts, containing sulfur vacancy, p-n-type heterojunction and Ohmic contact, were successfully constructed via an in-situ technique. Defect-mediated enrichment of photogenerated electrons at sulfur vacancies achieved fast charge transfer and inhibited the carrier recombination. The interfacial electric field (IEF) due to p-n-type heterojunction enhanced the carrier separation and transfer. Ohmic contact rapidly extracted the photogenerated charges and accelerated the hydrogen reduction reaction dynamics. As expected, CoS/S v -ZnIn 2 S 4 /Ni(OH) 2 catalysts reached an impressive hydrogen evolution rate of 19.45 mmol g −1 h −1 , which was 8.61 times higher than that of pure ZIS. This work demonstrates that the synergistic effect between sulfur vacancies and IEF effects may establish a new paradigm for designing high-efficiency multi-component sulfide-based photocatalysts.

We have demonstrated the synthesis of a novel MCM-41-supported bi-functional catalyst containing organoamine and Rh–P complex. We further characterized the catalysts by state-of-the-art analytical techniques including FTIR, UV–vis, 31 P CP MAS NMR, TGA, XRD, BET, TEM, ICP-AES and elemental analysis. The as-synthesized catalyst was applied to the one-pot synthesis of 2-ethylhexenal using propene as raw materials. FTIR, UV–vis, 31 P CP MAS NMR, and TGA results indicate that the active sites, organoamine and Rh–P complex, are successfully immobilized on the surface of catalyst support. The N and Rh content can be adjusted by adding different amounts of organoamine and Rh–P complex during the process of catalyst preparation. The mesoporous structure of the zeolite support remains intact after immobilization. However, the specific surface area and BJH pore size of the mesoporous zeolite support decrease after being grafted with organoamine and Rh–P complex. The bi-functional catalyst with primary amine has the best catalytic performances for the one-pot synthesis of 2-ethylhexenal since it has better synergistic effect with silanol groups, followed by diamine and then tertiary amine. The Rh content of the catalyst determines the hydroformylation reaction rate of propene, while the self-condensation of n -butanal is determined by the balance between organoamine and silanol groups. The results indicate the hydroformylation reaction is the control step of this tandem reaction when the content of Rh in the catalyst is below 0.19%. In contrast, this tandem reaction is controlled by the self-condensation of n -butanal with further increasing Rh content. We found that the catalyst containing 1.73% of N (primary amine) and 0.19% of Rh is a suitable choice. And we obtained the best yield of 2-ethylhexenal above 77% in the one-pot synthesis from propene.

Among typical ferroelectric materials, Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BNT) has attracted significant research attention owing to its high intrinsic polarization and polymorphic phase transitions. However, the practical application of pure BNT in high-performance energy storage devices has been limited by its large remnant polarization (Pr) and broad P–E hysteresis loops. Previous studies on element-doped BNT-based materials for enhanced energy storage performance have primarily focused on improving dielectric breakdown strength (Eb) and slimming P–E loops, which typically leads to deteriorated ferroelectric properties (reduced Pmax). To overcome the above problems, this study investigates (0.94–x)Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-0.06BaTiO3-xMgZrO3:1 mol % Mn (BNT-BT-xMZ:Mn, x = 0, 0.03, 0.06, 0.09, 0.12) thin films. MZ doping induces lattice expansion within the material, where larger domain sizes enhance polarization behavior, leading to increased Pmax (76.81 μC/cm2). Concurrently, the incorporation of MZ promotes cationic disorder, strengthening relaxor behavior. This results in nearly unchanged remnant polarization (Pr) but significantly reduced coercive field (Ec). Consequently, a large polarization difference (ΔP = 70.44 μC/cm2) and slim P–E hysteresis loops are achieved, and synergistic optimization of ferroelectric properties and relaxor characteristics enables the thin film to achieve superior energy storage performance under moderate electric fields (∼2250 kV/cm), ultimately achieving optimal comprehensive performance at x = 0.09, with a recoverable energy density (Wrec) of 55.76 J/cm3 and efficiency (η) of 79.46%. In contrast to previous unilateral approaches solely pursuing high Eb, the synergistic optimization strategy for polarization intensity and P–E hysteresis loop shape provides insights and design principles for modifying thin films as energy storage capacitors.

This study develops an environmentally friendly method to create S/P dual-doped porous carbon (WSC-SP-800) from walnut shells for supercapacitor electrodes. Compared with the raw carbon materials, WSC-SP-800 exhibits higher specific surface area, richer microporous and mesoporous structures, as well as superior electrochemical performance. The specific surface area rises from 1533.40 m 2 g −1 to 3061.96 m 2 g −1 , and the capacitance increases from 156 F g −1 to 417 F g −1 at a current density of 0.5 A g −1 . Additionally, WSC-SP-800 maintains a capacitance of 270 F g −1 even at a high current density of 10 A g −1 . When assembled into a symmetric supercapacitor, it achieves an energy density of 13.15 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 250 W kg −1 and retains 100 % of its capacity after 5000 cycles. This work not only achieves cost-effective, high-performance energy storage with environmentally benign characteristics but also establishes a novel paradigm for the valorization of biowaste through heteroatom engineering, providing a sustainable pathway for supercapacitor development.

Conventional metallurgical technologies for recycling cathode materials from retired Li-ion batteries go against carbon neutrality owing to massive material input and energy consumption. Although featuring with simplified process, direct regeneration technology still fails to bypass high-temperature driving forces for Li + compensation of degraded cathodes. Herein, chemical re-lithiation strategy mediated by ferrocene is proposed to directly regenerate the Li-deficient spent cathodes. Ferrocene and its derivatives, the so-called p-type redox mediators, can be oxidized spontaneously from neutral molecules to stable cations under ambient conditions, allowing them to function as electron donors . Meanwhile, lithium salts serve as Li + donors to ensure charge neutrality of the cathode lattice. The effects of solvation and substituent are thoroughly investigated to precisely regulate the potential of a series of ferrocene-based reductants. Chemical re-lithiation is driven thermodynamically by the intrinsic potential gap between ferrocene and degraded cathodes, thus fundamentally realizing a rapid lithiation reaction (taking less than 20 min at 25 °C), while avoiding the involvement of high-temperature operation. Diverse characterizations have been performed to explore the Li + -electron concerted re-lithiation mechanism. The regenerated LiFePO 4 cathode demonstrated comparable Li + storage capability to commercial cathode. Life-cycle analysis verifies the economical and environmental superiority of our chemical re-lithiation strategy to metallurgy in practical industry. The thermodynamically spontaneous chemical re-lithiation provides competitive options for greener recycling of retired batteries in the future.

To thrive in nature, bacteria have to reproduce efficiently under favorable conditions and persist during stress. The global strategy that integrates the growth control and stress response remains to be explored. Here, we find that a moderate induction of (p)ppGpp reduces growth rate but significantly enhances the stress tolerance of E. coli , resulting from a global resource re-allocation from ribosome synthesis to the synthesis of stress-responsive proteins. Strikingly, the activation of stress response by (p)ppGpp is still largely retained in the absence of RpoS. In addition, (p)ppGpp induction could activate the catabolism of alanine and arginine, facilitating the adaption of bacteria to nutrient downshift. Our work demonstrates that the activation of stress response by (p)ppGpp could occur in an RpoS-independent manner and (p)ppGpp enables bacteria to integrate the control of growth and stress response in a seesaw fashion, thus acting as an important global regulator of the bacterial fitness landscape.

The cholinergic hypothesis constitutes a pivotal theoretical framework for elucidating the pathological mechanisms underpinning Alzheimer's disease (AD). Quantitative assessment of cholinesterases (ChEs) and NAD(P)H levels in neuronal cells, particularly within the septo-hippocampal pathway, is imperative for the comprehensive study of the cholinergic system. In this study, we designed and synthesized a dual-channel, dual-enzyme-responsive fluorescent indicator that was chemically optimized for detecting levels of ChEs and NAD(P)H in neuronal cells. Biological experiments demonstrated that this indicator can sensitively and reliably visualize the dynamics of intracellular ChEs and NAD(P)H following stimulation. The corresponding ChEs activities and NAD(P)H concentrations demonstrated a linear correlation with fluorescence intensity, reaching equilibrium within a few minutes. This innovative and precise technique for visualizing ChEs and NAD(P)H dynamics with high spatial resolution during the progression of AD is expected to serve as a robust tool for investigating alterations in the cholinergic nervous system, including changes in acetylcholine neurotransmission and neuronal energy metabolism.

Herein, bio-based dopamine (DA) and phosphorus-rich hexachlorocyclotriphosphine (HCCP) were firstly assembled onto the MXene surface (MXene/DHP) via copolymerization. Notably, the formation of the DHP copolymer introduced a large amount of P and N flame-retardant elements, while the abundant amino/hydroxyl groups in its structure provided active sites for further surface modification. Subsequently, small-sized molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) nanosheets were uniformly anchored onto the MXene/DHP surface, forming a composite flame retardant with a hierarchical nanostructure (MXene/DHP@MoS 2 ). The MXene/DHP@MoS 2 enhanced EP composite coating achieved the lowest back temperature (167.7 ± 3.3 ℃) and the highest expansion height (24.8 ± 0.99 mm), directly indicating its superior thermal insulation capability due to the excellent thermal insulation properties of the two-dimensional structures of MXene and MoS 2 . The MXene/DHP@MoS 2 /EP composite coating displayed the lowest smoke density rating (42.2 ± 1.32 %) while retaining the highest residual carbon content (29.9 %). This is attributed to that the abundant P and N groups in MXene/DHP@MoS 2 , along with multiple metal ions, catalyzed the conversion of more pyrolysis intermediates into char at high temperature. Additionally, the MXene/DHP@MoS 2 /EP composite exhibited the most complete and dense residual carbon after calcination, with titanium dioxide and molybdenum trioxide uniformly embedded in the carbon layer framework, significantly enhancing its thermal insulation performance. Overall, this hierarchically structured composite flame retardant significantly improved the flame protection capability of water-based epoxy intumescent coatings, further driving the rapid development of fire-resistant coatings.

‘Anode-free’ Li metal batteries offer the highest possible energy density but face low Li coulombic efficiency when operated in carbonate electrolytes. Here we report a performance improvement of anode-free Li metal batteries using p -block tin octoate additive in the carbonate electrolyte. We show that the preferential adsorption of the octoate moiety on the Cu substrate induces the construction of a carbonate-less protective layer, which inhibits the side reactions and contributes to the uniform Li plating. In the mean time, the reduction of Sn 2+ at the initial charging process builds a stable lithophilic layer of Cu 6 Sn 5 alloy and Sn, improving the affinity between the Li and the Cu substrate. Notably, anode-free Li metal pouch cells with tin octoate additive demonstrate good cycling stability with a high coulombic efficiency of ~99.1%. Furthermore, this in situ p -block layer plating strategy is also demonstrated with other types of p -block metal octoate, as well as a Na metal battery system, demonstrating the high level of universality.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have drawn a lot of attention owing to the high theoretical capacity of 1675 mAh g −1 , environmental friendliness and relative abundance of sulfur. Nevertheless, the severe dissolution and migration of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and poor conductivity of sulfur greatly hinder the practical application of Li-S batteries. In this work, Fe-Ni-P@nitrogen-doped carbon (named as Fe-Ni-P@NC) derived from Fe-Ni Prussian blue analog (Fe-Ni PBA) was used as highly efficient sulfur host for Li-S batteries. The Fe-Ni-P particles not only enhance the adsorption of LiPSs but also effectively promote the conversion of LiPSs. In addition, the CN – of PBAs can readily generate nitrogen-doped carbon during pyrolysis, which can improve the conductivity of composites. Due to these advantages, Li-S batteries using S@Fe-Ni-P@NC composites cathodes exhibited good electrochemical performance with outstanding rate capability and stable cycling over 500 cycles with a lower capacity fading rate of 0.08% per cycle at 1 C.

Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) are ideal anodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high theoretical specific capacity and suitable lithiation potential. However, transition metal phosphides suffer from the shortcomings of large volume change and low electrical conductivity, resulting in poor rate performance and short cycle life. In this paper, nanofibers consisting of amorphous FeP x nanoparticles and N, P-codoped carbon substrate are synthesized by electrospinning and in-situ phosphidation to address these challenges. The amorphous structure with no grain boundary and isotropy can provide more Li + transport channels and Li + storage sites. Moreover, the N, P-codoped carbon substrate can effectively improve the electronic conductivity of the electrodes and the structural robustness of the nanofibers. Due to the unique structure and composition, the FeP x /C nanofibers exhibit excellent electrochemical performance when used as anodes for LIBs (stable cycling over 2200 cycles at 1 A g −1 ). It is suggested that the large pseudo-capacitance and fast Li + diffusion resulting from the amorphous structure are important reasons for the excellent electrochemical performance of FeP x /C nanofibers. This work provides a new idea to optimize the electrochemical performance of TMPs, which is expected to be used in other conversion anode materials.

γ-Cyclodextrin-based metal-organic frameworks (γ-CD-MOF) were successfully synthesized using the solvent diffusion method and applied as carriers for trans-N-p-coumaroyltyramine (N-p-t-CT, NCT) to study the solubability, stability, sustained release and inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase. The solubilization effect of γ-CD-MOF on N-p-t-CT was performed using impregnation (NCT@CD-MOF-1) and co-crystallization (NCT@CD-MOF-2) methods. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope (SEM), fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), and N2 adsorption/desorption were used to characterize the MOFs before and after loading NCT. The results showed that NCT@CD-MOF-2 had a better solubability for N-p-t-CT, 145.03 μg/mg of drug loading capacity could be achieved, and the solubility of NCT@CD-MOF-2 in water was 366 times higher than free N-p-t-CT. In addition, the stabilities of N-p-t-CT under temperature, UV light and pH conditions were greatly improved after encapsulation in γ-CD-MOF. Furthermore, NCT@CD-MOFs had a sustained release of N-p-t-CT over an extended period in vitro due to the primary encapsulation in pore structures. Notably, γ-CD-MOF loaded with N-p-t-CT showed superior inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase compared to free N-p-t-CT. Cytotoxicity studies demonstrated that NCT@CD-MOF-2 had low toxicity in vitro and perfect biocompatibility with HL-7702 cells, and γ-CD-MOF could reduce the toxicity of free N-p-t-CT at higher concentrations.
