Graphene sponge (GS) has been widely employed for water purification, but adsorption capacity loss frequently occurs during the formation of spongy structure. In this study, we reported the hydrothermal preparation of S-doped GS for the removal of Cu 2+ with a huge adsorption capacity of 228 mg/g, 40 times higher than that of active carbon. The adsorption isotherm could be well fitted into the Freundlich model with a K F value of 36.309 (L/mg) 1/ n . The equilibrium adsorption could be fully achieved in the first 5 min. In the thermodynamics study, the negative Δ G indicated that the adsorption was spontaneous and physisorption in nature. The positive Δ H implied that the adsorption was endothermic. The changes of both pH and ionic strength had no apparent influence on the adsorption. S-doped GS could be easily regenerated by washing with acidic thiourea. Moreover, S-doped GS could be used for the adsorption of other heavy metal ions, too. The implication to the applications of S-doped GS in water treatment is discussed.

The isomeric poly(hexahydrotriazine)s (PHTs) were prepared, based on their hemiaminal dynamic covalent networks via a facile method at 50 °C, through 1,3-bis(4-aminophenoxy)-benzene (TPE-R) and 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)-benzene (TPE-Q) with formaldehyde. The influence of chain isomerism on thermal stability, mechanical properties, tribological properties, and the degradation rate of PHTs was investigated. The advantage of (TPE-Q)-PHTs compared with that of (TPE-R)-PHTs is that they possessed a higher glass transition temperature (Tg) of 187 °C, a higher Yang’s modulus of 10.7 GPa, and rapid degradation rate. Additionally, the (TPE-Q)-PHTs exhibited outstanding self-lubricating performance as compared to (TPE-Q)-PHTs because the para-connecting isomers showed lower surface energy, lower surface roughness, and higher hardness that effectively weakened the bonding force between friction pairs. Overall, the study of PHTs facilitates their practical application of energy conservation and environmental protection in the tribological industry.

We report a method based on 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid-formaldehyde (RF-COOH) microsphere hard templates to prepare core-shelled Fe 2 O 3 microspheres , which were then added to graphene oxide to obtain hierarchical reduced graphene oxide, ultimately dropping Fe 2 O 3 (Fe 2 O 3 @rGO) by Vitamin C reduction and freeze drying. When used as cathode materials for lithium-sulfur batteries, Fe 2 O 3 @rGO shows a high specific capacity of 400.5 mAh g −1 at 2 C after 500 cycles. The prominent performance is due to the collaborative assembly of rGO , which provides stable structural support and favourable conductivity, and core-shelled Fe 2 O 3 microspheres, which are certified to have a strong interaction with polysulfides. The loose and stable skeletons of highly electroconductive rGO can offer a conductive framework for rapid ion/electron transport. Meanwhile, the unique core-shelled structure of Fe 2 O 3 with the ample void space can anchor polysulfides through the strong chemical adsorption and buffer the mechanical stresses caused by volume expansion during the charge and discharge processes. Moreover, Fe 2 O 3 promotes the transformation of polysulfides to insoluble LiPSs during the discharging process, effectively alleviating the shuttling of the polysulfides.

In recent years, light-emitting Mn 2+ -doped nanocrystals (NCs) have been widely studied because of their strong and stable Mn 2+ d–d emission. Herein, highly efficient colloidal Mn 2+ -doped Cd–In–S NCs were prepared by a hot injection strategy. The as-prepared NCs have a cubic crystal structure of CdS host and exhibit strong Mn 2+ emission. The photoluminescence (PL) intensity, PL position, and PL lifetime of this Mn 2+ emission can be adjusted by changing the doping level of Mn 2+ . In particular, by tuning the amount of dopant, the emission color can be varied in the range of 601 nm to 643 nm, which is due to the coordination field environment of Mn 2+ ions changed by the doping concentration. The PL intensity of Mn 2+ is significantly enhanced by the ZnS shell coating, and the highest PL quantum yield can reach 56%, which is attributed to the removal of NCs surface-related defects by shell modification. A prototype LED was fabricated as well by using the as-prepared highly efficient Mn 2+ -doped Cd–In–S NCs as a color conversion material. The Mn 2+ -doped multicomponent semiconductor NCs reported here extend the availability of classical Mn 2+ -doped luminescent materials and provide alternatives for other applications requiring orange-red colloidal NCs.

In this paper, we reported a novel precursor solution for the preparation of Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) film. Large-grain monolayer CZTSSe film can be obtained by using the precursor solution. The influence of selenization temperature on the properties of CZTSSe films and solar cells were investigated. We found the monolayer CZTSSe film can be prepared with the selenization temperature as low as 510 °C. While an increased selenization temperature was used, the size of the crystalline grains in CZTSSe film increased significantly, but the decomposition of CZTSSe material got more serious. As the increase of the selenization temperature, increased short-circuit current (J SC ) can be achieved for the fabricated solar cell, which could be caused by the improved crystallinity of CZTSSe layer and the enlarged depletion width of solar cell (as much as 391 nm). On the other hand, the open-circuit voltage (V OC) decreased as the increase of selenization temperature, which may relate with the decomposition of CZTSSe material. The best solar cell achieved the efficiency of 11.4% (active area), which was based on CZTSSe film with the selenization temperature of 510 °C.

Transition metal phosphides (TMP) are excellent non-precious metal electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The generation of PO43− before and during the HER process may be inevitable due to the instability of TMP. To investigate the effect of PO43− on the HER catalytic activity of electrocatalysts in alkaline medium, NiCo-S nanotubes were modified with phytate (PHY) with six phosphate groups via adsorption. The successful modification was verified by zeta potential, FT-IR, element mapping, XPS, etc The NiCo-S/PHY displayed a higher HER activity than original NiCo-S. Under the optimum adsorption time (7 h), the overpotential at 10 mA cm−2 (η10) of NiCo-S/PHY (173 mV) was only half that of the original NiCo-S (346 mV). The role of PO43− was discussed in detail. Moreover, this strategy was extended to NiCo-S grown directly on nickel foam (NiCo-S/NF) and the corresponding NiCo-S/PHY/NF also showed superior HER activity and good stability. This work provides a new strategy to improve the HER activity of electrocatalysts and also a novel perspective for the HER mechanism of TMP.

Radiotherapy (RT)-induced in situ vaccination greatly promotes the development of personalized cancer vaccines owing to the massive release of antigens initiated by tumor-localized RT eliciting the tumor-specific immune response. However, its broad application in cancer treatment is seriously impeded by poor antigen cross-presentation, low response rate, and short duration of efficacy. Herein, the tumor-antigen-capturing nanosystem dAuNPs@CpG consisting of gold nanoparticles, 3,5-cyclohexanedione (CHD), and immunoadjuvant CpG were fabricated to enhance RT-induced vaccination. Taking advantage of the specific covalent binding between CHD and sulfenic acids of antigen proteins, we show that this nanoplatform has an unexpected potential to capture the sulfenylated tumor-derived protein antigens (TDPAs) induced by RT to in situ generate a vaccination effect, achieving significant growth suppression of both primary and distant tumors in combination with PD-1 blockade. We thus believe that our work presents a powerful and effective means to improve the synergistic tumor radioimmunotherapy.

Enhancing the properties of concrete using C-S-H seed has been a challenging task due to its agglomeration in the cement matrix. Here, for ensuring synthetic C-S-H disperse well in the cement matrix, it was first synthesized in situ on fly ash (FA) by co-precipitation method, and the C-S-H grown in situ on FA (C-S-H@FA) was received. And then, its phase composition, morphology and particle size distribution were studied. After that, its effect on the hydration kinetics of cement, and the workability, strength development, pore structure, durability of concrete was explored. The results showed that the hydration of cement can be stimulated more dramatically by C-S-H@FA when compared with C-S-H, as well as the strength development of concrete. Besides, the addition of C-S-H@FA can refine the pores in concrete, and make concrete more compact than incorporating C-S-H. Furthermore, when C-S-H was replaced by C-S-H@FA, the carbonation resistance and drying shrinkage resistance of concrete was improved. Therefore, it can be concluded that the C-S-H grown in situ on FA has better dispersibility than C-S-H in concrete, improving the comprehensive properties of concrete more effectively.

Drastic capacity decay as a result of active sulfur loss caused by the severe shuttle effect of dissolved polysulfides is the main obstacle in the commercial application of Li–S batteries. Various methods have been developed to suppress the active sulfur loss, but the results are far from ideal. Herein, we propose a facile sulfur compensation strategy to improve the cyclic stability of Li–S batteries. The strategy is to compensate sulfur to the cathode by chemical reactions between additional sulfur and lithium polysulfides diffusing away from the cathode. The compensatory sulfur can effectively mitigate the loss of active sulfur in the cathode side caused by the shuttle effect and thus maintain the high capacity of the battery during charging and discharging for long life cycle assessments. Using this strategy, the specific capacity of the assembled Li–S batteries was maintained at >700 mA h g–1 for more than 500 cycles at 1 C and >1000 mA h g–1 for ∼100 cycles at 0.1 C, while the capacity of control batteries rapidly decreased to <200 mA h g–1 under the same conditions.

Binders are essential for maintaining positive electrode integrity in Li||S batteries and significantly affect their performance. However, commercial linear binders often have disordered networks, poor binding efficiency, and insufficient mechanical strength. To address these challenges, three-dimensional covalent binders offer a promising solution. Traditional methods for producing cross-linked binders require additives and result in poorly controlled polymer networks due to the stochastic nature of liquid-phase polymerization. Moreover, the mechanisms by which reticulated binders stabilize the positive electrode remain unclear, requiring investigation under operando conditions. Herein, we present an approach to tailor cross-linked polyacrylamide networks using solid-state operando γ-ray irradiation chemistry, which eliminates additives and produces a pure, ordered network with remarkable binding capabilities. By integrating in situ high-resolution optical frequency domain reflectometry, multiscale synchrotron radiation characterization, and virtual simulations, this study reveals the role of binders in dynamically encaging and confining sulfur. Specifically, γ-ray-enabled polyacrylamide networks enhance battery performance through mechanical strengthening, optimized sulfur regeneration, and improved re-occupancy. Consequently, the well-designed composite positive electrode structure with only 5.0 wt% binder improves soft-packaged Li||S battery performance across various scenarios. Notably, a 1.2-Ah pouch cell achieves 410.1 Wh kg −1 specific energy with a low electrolyte/sulfur ratio of 3.0 µL mg –1 .

Volatile organic compounds derived from plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria play critical roles in enhancing plant growth and stress tolerance. This study evaluated the effects of S-methyl thioacetate (SMT) on tomato seedlings under hydroponic and soil conditions, complemented by transcriptomic analysis using RNA-Seq. Under 3 g NaCl·kg −1 soil conditions, 100 mg·L −1 SMT alleviated salt stress, enhancing shoot dry weight by 37.29% and root dry weight by 58.97%. In hydroponic experiments, 50 mg·L −1 SMT was optimal, increasing root and shoot dry weights by 79.18% and 62.64%, respectively, compared to the controls. This treatment also significantly increased chlorophyll content, root length, and root surface area by 22.64%, 34.65%, and 84.69%, respectively. RNA-Seq analyses of seedlings treated with 100 mg·L −1 SMT in hydroponic experiments identified 7,748 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Gene ontology functional enrichment analysis revealed that DEGs were predominantly involved in biological processes related to fungi and immune response, molecular functions associated with ATP binding, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, protein kinase activity, cellular components linked to the plasma membrane, and integral membrane components. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that SMT induced a genotype-dependent response pattern, with upregulated DEGs involved in glutathione metabolism, lignin biosynthesis, and plant-pathogen interaction pathways. Key upregulated genes included those encoding peroxidase, WRKY22/29, and HSP90. This study provides a mechanistic framework for SMT’s dual role in enhancing growth and stress resilience in tomato seedlings. Future field trials are essential to validate its agricultural applicability.

Limited by rapid carrier recombination, the photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) generation performance of Zn 2 In 2 S 5 is far from practical application. Herein, Zn 2 In 2 S 5 /In 2 S 3 S-scheme heterostructures were constructed by employing a one-step hydrothermal strategy that precisely adjusted the Zn:In precursor ratio. Thanks to the band structures with sufficiently redox ability of In 2 S 3 and Zn 2 In 2 S 5 , as well as enhanced carrier separation and transfer efficiency, the optimal Zn 2 In 2 S 5 /In 2 S 3 heterostructures (ZIS/In 2 S 3 -1:4) achieved a sacrificial-agent-free H 2 O 2 production rate of 339.5 μM h −1 under AM 1.5 irradiation, which approximately 1.7 times higher than that of pristine Zn 2 In 2 S 5 . Meanwhile, it also exhibited good H 2 O 2 evolution rate under visible-light irradiation and reusability. Its apparent quantum yield (AQY) at 380 nm, 420 nm, and 450 nm reached to 1.32 %, 1.11 %, and 0.63 %, respectively. In addition, the introduction of In 2 S 3 inhibited H 2 O 2 decomposition and enhanced the selectivity of H 2 O 2 production. In the photocatalytic process, superoxide radicals and holes were the key reactive substances, thereby H 2 O 2 was generated via a two-step single-electron O 2 reduction reaction process and one-step two-electron water oxidation reaction process. The construction strategy of the Zn 2 In 2 S 5 /In 2 S 3 S-scheme heterostructures is expected to provide a new perspective for the design of photocatalysts for efficient H 2 O 2 synthesis.
