Manganese dioxide is considered an ideal cathode candidate material for aqueous zinc-ion batteries. However, its poor conductivity and nanostructural degeneration impede its further application. Herein, a 3 × 3 tunnel-structured τ-MnO2 cathode material was synthesized through the addition of excessive Mg2+. During its preparation, a portion of Mg2+ was embedded into the 3 × 3 tunnel of τ-MnO2 to stabilize the microstructure, while another portion of Mg2+ formed a new phase, i.e., Mg2(OH)3Cl·4H2O, adjoining τ-MnO2, resulting in a cathode material with heterointerface synergy between τ-MnO2 and Mg2(OH)3Cl·4H2O. The charge arrangement of the heterointerface between τ-MnO2 and Mg2(OH)3Cl·4H2O enabled more active sites and accelerated ion-diffusion kinetics. The introduction of Mg2(OH)3Cl·4H2O increased the proportion of Mn(IV) and suppressed the structural instability caused by Jahn–Teller distortion, thereby improving the electrochemical performance of the τ-MnO2 cathode (capacity retention of 86.7% after 1800 cycles at 1 A g−1).

The desirability of acid-resistant nanofiltration (NF) membranes having superior acid stability with good separation performance for industrial acid wastewater treatment and reclamation is currently in high demand. Here, we presented a new sulfonated-based acid-resistant NF membrane prepared by the crosslinking and participation action of 3,3′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS) via the synthesis of branched polyethyleneimine (BPEI) and 1,3-benzenedisulfonyl chloride (BDSC). By optimizing the preparation conditions, the BP-DDS/BD membrane exhibited an improved pure water flux of 13.4 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 and a MgCl 2 rejection of 97.3% for 1000 ppm. It also shows desirable rejection (>90%) and adsorption capacities for selected heavy metals. In addition, an excellent pressure resistance at different operating bars was achieved. Benefiting from the strong and stable S O bond present in DDS, the optimized BP-DDS/BD membrane displayed an outstanding acid stability at different acid immersion conditions while also maintaining impressive long-term stability of 240 h after 30 days acid exposure period. The polysulfonamide (PSA)-based NF membrane presented in this work therefore demonstrated viable and promising usefulness in wastewater treatment containing acid and heavy metal ions removal.

Colorimetric enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay utilizing 3′-3-5′-5-tetramethylbenzidine(TMB) as the chromogenic substrate has been widely used in the hospital for the detection of all kinds of disease biomarkers. Herein, we demonstrate a strategy to change this single-color display into dual-color responses to improve the accuracy of visual inspection. Our investigation firstly reveals that oxidation state of 3′-3-5′-5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB 2+ ) can quantitatively etch gold nanoparticles. Therefore, the incorporation of gold nanoparticles into a commercial TMB-based ELISA kit could generate dual-color responses: the solution color varied gradually from wine red (absorption peak located at ~530 nm) to colorless, and then from colorless to yellow (absorption peak located at ~450 nm) with the increase amount of targets. These dual-color responses effectively improved the sensitivity as well as the accuracy of visual inspection. For example, the proposed dual-color plasmonic ELISA is demonstrated for the detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in human serum with a visual limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.0093 ng/mL.

The introduction of guest metal molecules into metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is an outstanding method to prepare dual-atom catalysts (DACs) with good oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity. However, most of the MOF-derived dual-atom catalysts reported to date exhibit a microporous structure and, therefore, suffer from the underutilization of active sites and poor mass transfer. This study employed NH2-MIL-101 as a precursor to form defect-bearing mesoporous Fe-NC via one-step pyrolysis for adsorbing [Co(en)3]3+, followed by secondary pyrolysis to generate Fe–Co binuclear site catalysts. The mesopores of NH2-MIL-101 are beneficial to [Co(en)3]3+ introduction and can improve the mass transfer of the ORR. Furthermore, the elevated nitrogen content within the [Co(en)3]3+ complex facilitates the co-coordination of Fe and Co with nitrogen, thereby enhancing the formation of Fe–Co diatomic sites. As a result, the obtained FeCo-NC-40 catalyst showed excellent ORR performance with a half-wave potential of 0.915 V (vs RHE). In addition, the liquid-phase Zn–air battery employing FeCo-NC-40 as the cathode catalyst demonstrated a peak power density of 178.13 mW·cm–2 and achieved a discharge specific capacity of 806.13 mAh·g–1 at 10 mA·cm–2, and there was no significant decay in stability for 10 days of continuous cycling.

Tau plays a major role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and several other neurodegenerative diseases. Tau undergoing liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) performs specific physiological functions, induces pathological processes, and contributes to neurodegeneration. Regulating Tau phase separation helps maintain physiological functions of Tau and inhibits pathological aggregation. Here, we show that the 14-3-3 zeta isoform (14-3-3ζ) participates in Tau LLPS. 14-3-3ζ can undergo co-phase separation with WT Tau, participate in and stabilize Tau droplets, and inhibit Tau droplet-driven tubulin assembly. On the other hand, 14-3-3ζ disrupts the LLPS of phosphorylated and glycated Tau, thereby inhibiting the amyloid aggregation initiated by LLPS.

All-inorganic perovskite solar cells require high-temperature preparation processes, which severely hinders their further commercial development. Inorganic perovskite materials have a high crystallization barrier, so the crystallinity is poor under low temperature conditions, resulting in poor device performance. Therefore, it is an important challenge to develop an excellent low-temperature preparation process. In this paper, the crystallization kinetics of the CsPbI 2 Br perovskite film under low temperature conditions was studied, and it was found that the perovskite was not completely crystallized during low temperature crystallization , and PbI 2 remained. The PbI 2 residue not only caused the appearance of lead defects but also formed insoluble CsBr due to the insufficient reaction of the raw materials. Through the interaction between the organic molecules 3-Amino-3-(3-pyridyl)propionic Acid (PA) and PbI 2 , the crystallization reaction process can be effectively improved. Eliminating the residual PbI 2 also effectively inhibited the precipitation of CsBr, thereby significantly improved the crystallinity of CsPbI 2 Br. Efficiencies of 10.95% are achieved for low-temperature-processed CsPbI 2 Br planar-architecture FTO/SnO 2 /CsPbI 2 Br/carbon, and the obtained device also showed good stability in the air.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) constitute a category of persistent organic contaminants that possess the potential to induce carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic consequences. Our previous findings have revealed that plant roots actively take up PAHs through co-transport with protons, and auxin can promote PAHs uptake by wheat roots. It remains unclear whether nitric oxide (NO), a signaling molecule involved in numerous physiological processes in plants and downstream of auxin, can affect PAHs uptake by plant roots. In our study, 50 μmol/L sodium nitroprusside (SNP) significantly enhanced phenanthrene uptake after 4 h of exposure. After the addition of SNP (50 μmol/L), the H + flux on root surface increased, and H + -ATPase activity was activated, indicating that exogenous NO promotes phenanthrene uptake by plant roots via activating H + -ATPase. By studying the effects of 50 μmol/L cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), 5 mmol/L Ca 2+ , and 50 μmol/L adenosine monophosphate (AMP) on phenanthrene uptake by ryegrass roots and measuring root calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPK) activity, we demonstrated that exogenous NO promotes phenanthrene uptake through the signaling pathway of NO, cGMP, Ca 2+ , CDPK, 14-3-3 protein and H + -ATPase. The results contribute significant insights into elucidating the underlying mechanisms of NO modulating PAHs absorption by plant roots, thereby offering crucial strategies for advancing food safety measures and enhancing the phytoremediation potential of soils and waters contaminated with PAHs.

Considering of the possible application of fatty acids secretion in industrial production process for reducing extraction costs, the effects of enhanced fatty acids secretion by knocking out acyl-CoA synthetases on the global regulation, cellular metabolism were investigated through integrated omics analysis. Firstly, functional category analysis of differential expression genes showed that most of the genes were associated with the cell cycle and biology process such as cellular component biogenesis, cell wall organization and so on. Secondly, the decreased mRNA levels of Tdh, Eno and Pgk1 in glycolysis in faa mutant YB526 were confirmed by the differential protein analysis. As described in previous reports, the decreased protein levels of Tdh, Eno and Pgk1 were resulted from the increase of 14-3-3 protein activity. However, the increased level of 14-3-3 proteins could not improve the biosynthesis of ergosterol in the acyl-CoA deficiency strain YB526 due to the toxic effects of fatty acids. Thirdly, the decrease of ergosterol and ceramide contents in cell envelopes can improve the permeation of membrane and fatty acids secretion in faa mutant YB526. This comprehensive omics analysis could be helpful in the rational design of robust yeasts for the production of free fatty acids or other biobased chemicals.

The prevalence of multidrug resistance among clinically significant bacterial pathogens underlines a critical need for the development of new classes of antibacterial agents with novel structural scaffolds. Cajaninstilbene acid (CSA), which is isolated from pigeonpea leaves, has shown potent antibacterial activity. In this study, a series of 2-hydroxyl-4-methoxyl-3-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)-6-(4-phenylbenzoylamino)benzoic acid derivatives derived from CSA were designed and synthesized, and their antibacterial activities were evaluated. Several synthesized compounds exhibit better antibacterial activity than CSA against Staphylococcus aureus , Staphylococcus epidermidis , and two strains of methicillin-resistant S. aureus . Meanwhile, the results of 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assays illustrate the good selectivity between bacteria and normal cells of the most active compounds 6u and 6v . Furthermore, well combinations with bacterial RNA polymerase of 6u arising from docking study imply the possible mechanism of antibacterial activity of these synthetic compounds.

Polyimine macrocycles are a new class of organic macrocycles with cyclic structures, well-defined molecular cavities, and multiple cooperative binding sites, which have recently aroused considerable research interest in molecular recognition and separation. Herein, we report the bonding of a [3+3] chiral polyimine macrocycle (H 3 L, C 78 H 78 N 6 O 3 ) on thiol-functionalized silica gel using thiol-ene click chemistry to prepare a chiral stationary phase (CSP) for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The fabricated column exhibited excellent chiral separation capability under both normal-phase and reversed-phase conditions. Fourteen and 10 racemates were well resolved on the column in normal-phase mode (using n -hexane/isopropanol as the mobile phase) and reversed-phase mode (using methanol/water as the mobile phase), respectively, including alcohols, esters, ethers, ketones, aldehydes, epoxides and organic acids. Moreover, the column also shows good selectivity toward positional isomers. Six positional isomers (dinitrobenzene, chloroaniline, bromoaniline, iodoaniline, nitrobrobenzene and nitrochlorobenzene) were well separated on the column. In addition, the effects of the injection mass and mobile phase composition on the separation were investigated. The column shows good reproducibility and stability after multiple injections with the relative standard deviation (RSD) ( n = 5) of the retention time and resolution being < 0.96 % and 0.65 %, respectively. This study indicates that this type of chiral polyimine macrocycles is a promising chiral selector for HPLC enantioseparation and will push forward the applications of more novel chiral macrocycles for chiral chromatographic separation.

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on Fe 2+ /persulfate (PS) have been widely applied in water treatment but face critical challenges: inefficient radical utilization due to excess Fe 2+ scavenging, unsustainable reactivity from irreversible Fe 2+ -to-Fe 3+ conversion, and ambiguous dominant reactive species (e.g., SO 4 − / OH vs. high-valent iron). Ferric oxalate complexes address these limitations by enabling light-driven iron photoreduction and the Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ cycle. However, direct comparisons of degradation efficiency, mechanisms, and environmental risks between Fe 2+ /PS and UV/Fe(C 2 O 4 ) 3 3− /PS remain scarce. Using iohexol as a model, this study directly compared the two systems. The UV/Fe(C 2 O 4 ) 3 3− /PS system achieved 98.8 % iohexol degradation in 60 min (vs. 69.9 % for Fe 2+ /PS) and reduced iron sludge by 70–80 %. Both systems relied on SO 4 − and OH, but UV/Fe(C 2 O 4 ) 3 3− /PS enhanced radical yield via photocatalytic iron cycling, whereas Fe 2+ /PS depended on Fe(IV). In Fe 2+ /PS, contributions were Fe(IV) (29.4 %) > SO 4 − (25.9 %) > OH (20.2 %); in UV/Fe(C 2 O 4 ) 3 3− /PS, SO 4 − (63.6 %) > OH (23.7 %) > Fe(IV) (23.7 %). Electrical energy per order (EE/O) analysis showed UV/Fe(C 2 O 4 ) 3 3− /PS consumed 1.166 kWh mM −1 , 60.2 % lower than Fe 2+ /PS (2.524 kWh mM −1 ). Acute toxicity tests with Vibrio fischeri exhibited 67.7 % inhibition in Fe 2+ /PS, significantly higher than 36.4 % in UV/Fe(C 2 O 4 ) 3 3− /PS. Ecological Structure-Activity Relationships (ECOSAR) modeling and disinfection by-products (DBPs) risk assessment further confirmed lower risks in UV/Fe(C 2 O 4 ) 3 3− /PS, with 50 % lethal concentration ((LC 50 ) for aquatic organisms 2.3-fold higher and genotoxicity potency 41.7 % lower than Fe 2+ /PS. These results bridge the efficiency-risk gap between the two systems and offer a three-dimensional (efficiency-cost-safety) framework for AOP selection.

We report a novel nanocomposite of hollow TiO2 microspheres and plasma polyacrylic acid (TiO2@PPAA) modified with rhodamine B (TiO2@PPAA-RhB). This nanocomposite was further used as an electrochemical sensor for the ultra-sensitive and selective detection of Cu2+ in water. A gold electrode was modified with hollow TiO2 nanospheres, followed by the closely bonded layer of PPAA via plasma polymerization. Subsequently, the carboxyl groups of TiO2@PPAA nanocomposites were activated to ester groups by N-hydroxysuccinimide/1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminoprolyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride. The resultant activated ester groups reacted with the amino groups on rhodamine to form the amide groups, leading to the modification of TiO2@PPAA nanocomposites with rhodamine. Considering the synergistic effect of strong electrostatic interaction between the carboxyl groups of PPAA and Cu2+, the direct adsorption of Cu2+ on the TiO2 surface, and the coordination chemistry formed between Cu2+ and rhodamine, the developed electrochemical biosensor exhibited high sensitivity of Cu2+ detection, with a detection limit of 0.404 pM within the range of 0.001–10 nM of Cu2+. Therefore, the fabricated electrochemical sensor based on TiO2@PPAA-RhB can be obtained via plasma polymerization and represents a highly promising tool for use in environmental monitoring.
