The severe parasitic interface reaction and dendrite growth retard the practical applications of all-solid-state (ASS) Na batteries with sulfide solid electrolytes (SEs). Here, a novel composite SE is proposed, with a high ionic conductivity, composed of Na 3 SbS 4 (NSS) and oxysulfide glass. The study reveals that the P 2 S 7- a O a and PS 4- a O a units in oxysulfide play various roles: The former is deoxidized to release free O ions, which reacts with the anode via migrating to form oxides, favoring an improved interface stability. The latter is highly stable upon cycling, thereby maintaining an ion transport network. Meanwhile, NSS acts as a dendrite predator via reacting with penetrated Na. These advantages enable the resulting ASS Na battery with superior long-term cycling performance at a high current density at room temperature, one of the best results so far. This discovery sheds light on innovative advanced SE materials through an oxysulfide-based composite design.

The assembly of different Metal organic framework (MOFs) into hybrid heterostructures has proven to be a promising strategy that can effectively break through the limited regulatory capacity of single metal sites. Here, an S-scheme heterostructure (Fe 3 Ni-MOF) based on homologous ligands (1,4-phthalic acid) of ultra-thin Ni-MOF and Fe-MOF nanoparticles with directional electron transport channels, was developed and used it for photoreduction of CO 2 . Under the S-scheme electric field mechanism, the photogenerated carrier can achieve efficient directional separation through Fe–O–Ni atomic bond, which significantly reduces the energy barrier of the rate-determining step. Results show that the performance of Fe 3 Ni-MOF (63.5 μmol g –1 ) was 20 and 3.2 times higher than that of Ni-MOF and Fe-MOF, respectively, and exhibits excellent CO selectivity (96.4%) and stability. Transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy revealed the two-molecular-layers structure of Ni-MOF and the micro-assembly structure of Fe 3 Ni-MOF, which can shorten the electron transport distance and increase the molecular mass transfer rate. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron spin resonance and electron density difference calculations reveal that interfacial electric fields and atomic bonds work together to promote directional carrier separation, resulting in the accumulation of holes on Ni-MOF and electrons on Fe-MOF. The Gibbs free energy calculation and in-situ Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy validate that the micro-assembled S-scheme heterostructures with directional electron transport channels can significantly reduce the activation energy barrier of the reaction. This study not only proves the feasibility of constructing MOFs S-scheme heterostructures using homologous ligands, but also provides a new way to overcome the limitations of monometallic MOFs. This strategy is expected to open up a new avenue to design efficient photocatalysts.

This study examines the inhibitory effects of a range of sweeteners on α-glucosidase. Our findings revealed that only one natural sweetener, namely, glycyrrhetinic acid 3-O-mono-beta-d-glucuronide (GAMG), derived from licorice, exhibited a mixed-type inhibition against α-glucosidase with a IC50 value of 0.73 ± 0.05 mg/mL. The fluorescence intensity of α-glucosidase was quenched by GAMG in the formation of an α-glucosidase–GAMG complex. GAMG has been shown to induce conformational changes in α-glucosidase, likely through hydrogen bonding, van der Waals force, and alkyl–alkyl interactions with amino acid residues, including Arg 281, Leu 283, Trp 376, Asp 404, Asp 443, Trp 481, Asp 518, Phe 525, Ala 555, and Asp 616. Additional animal validation experiments demonstrated that GAMG slowed starch digestion, thereby attenuating the postprandial glycemic response. Taken together, these findings provide evidence that GAMG is a natural sweetener with potent inhibitory activity that selectively targets α-glucosidase. This study supports the use of GAMG as a natural sweetener, which holds a high biological value and may be beneficial for managing postprandial hyperglycemia.

The preparation of ceramic materials with complex porous structures through photopolymerization-based 3D printing requires the development of stable and printable slurries. In this study, zirconium acetylacetonate was incorporated into the thiol vinyl organosilicon prepolymer to create a photosensitive Si–Zr–O–C slurry. Regarding the natural bone structures and the Tyson polygon principle, a gradient pore structure was designed and then printed using a digital light processing 3D printer. After printing, the effects of sintering temperatures on the phase composition and structure of Si–Zr–O–C ceramics were systematically investigated. Subsequently, a comparative analysis of structure and properties was performed on sintered samples with different zirconium acetylacetonate contents. The results revealed that the sample containing 30 wt. % zirconium acetylacetonate exhibited a higher compressive strength of 9.70 ± 0.28 MPa and a lower room temperature thermal conductivity of 0.528 W m −1 K −1 . This study confirmed the significant potential of using 3D printing technology to prepare Si–Zr–O–C precursor ceramics with a porous structure.

In this work, pullulan (PUL) nanofibrous films incorporated with water-in-oil emulsions (PE) were prepared by microfluidic blowing spinning (MBS). The microstructures of nanofibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). With the addition of W/O emulsions, the thermal stability, mechanical, and water barrier properties of PUL nanofibers were improved. Increases in emulsion content significantly affected the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of nanofibrous films. ABTS and DPPH free radical scavenging rates increased from 10.26 % and 8.57 % to 60.66 % and 57.54 %, respectively. The inhibition zone of PE nanofibers against E. coli and S. aureus increased from 11.00 to 20.00 and from 15.67 to 21.17 mm, respectively. In addition, we investigated the freshness effectiveness of PE nanofibrous films on fresh-cut apples. PE nanofibrous films significantly maintained the firmness, and reduced the weight loss and browning index of the fresh-cut apple, throughout the 4 days of storage. Thus, the PE nanofibrous films exhibited good potential to prolong the shelf life of fresh-cut fruit and promote the development of active food packaging.

Lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) cathodes suffer serious structure instability when charged to high voltage (>4.5 V), including H1-3 phase transition, cobalt dissolution, and interfacial side reactions, which are closely related to the instability of surface lattice oxygen. Herein, an interfacial B–O complexing strategy was proposed to stabilize the surface lattice oxygen of LiCoO2 at 4.6 V, through the preferential coordination between derived products of the tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane electrolyte additive and LiCoO2. Combining a series of in situ and ex situ characterization methods with temporal and spatial resolution, it was revealed that the emergence of peroxy-like species (O22–) at high potentials is one of the origins of the instability of LiCoO2, which can be well inhibited thanks to interfacial B–O complexing. Thus, oxygen loss and interfacial side reactions can be drastically retarded, which consequently provides a more stable chemical environment for Co element, avoiding the dissolution and valence reduction of Co. Owing to the well-anchored Co and O elements, undesirable phase transition and local coordination structure change are suppressed, hence improving the capacity retention and rate performance of LiCoO2 at 4.6 V. This study provides an interfacial complexing strategy to stabilize the high-voltage LiCoO2 cathode.

Catalytic methane decomposition shows the prominent superiority of generating hydrogen in one step with almost no carbon oxide production; however, it suffers from catalyst deactivation and low by-product carbon quality. Herein, a series of H2-reduced NixCr2Ox+3 (abbreviated as reduced NixCr2) catalysts were designed and synthesised for highly efficient methane decomposition and carbon nanotube production. A maximum methane conversion of 87.1% and hydrogen concentration of 91.8 vol% were achieved at 750 °C without deactivation. The results from XPS, XAS, and Raman reveal that the reduced NixCr2 catalysts have significant activity and stability. On the one hand, they form the Cr–O–Ni structure, thus possessing strong Ni–Cr2O3 interaction. On the other hand, the lattice oxygen of the reduced NixCr2 catalysts induces methane activation, thus accelerating methane activation, as demonstrated by the generation of a little amount of CO. In addition, the relationship between the types of carbon deposited and Ni/Cr ratio, decomposition temperature, and time was also revealed to guide carbon nanotube synthesis. Density functional theory calculation confirms the lowest dehydrogenation barrier of Ni(111)/Cr2O3(012), demonstrating the superiority of the Cr–O–Ni catalyzed methane decomposition. These findings provide innovative ideas for the construction of functionalized materials, which will substantially promote the development of methane decomposition.

The practical development of Li-O 2 batteries (LOBs) urgently needs to explore robust cathode catalysts to boost the sluggish Li 2 O 2 reaction kinetics and parasitic reactions despite their theoretically high specific energy. Profound understanding of the cathode properties and the battery performance is rather critical in developing rational-designed electrocatalysts. In this study, a Co-N x /Co (111) decorated N-doped hierarchical carbon framework (Co-N x /Co@NHCF) is proposed as an efficient cathode in LOBs. Spectroscopic analysis coupled with experimental results suggests that the Co-N x /Co (111) catalytic center can significantly reduce the battery overpotential, and meanwhile, the hierarchical carbon framework ensures rapid mass transportation and provides sufficient space to accommodate Li 2 O 2 deposition. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the incorporated Co (111) facet can effectively regulate the electronic distribution of N-carbon, optimize the adsorption of desirable intermediates, and eventually facilitate oxygen reduction reaction/oxygen evolution reaction kinetics. As expected, the Co-N x /Co@NHCF catalyzed LOBs deliver a high discharge/charge capacity of 6.15/ 6.22 mAh cm −2 with a columbic efficiency of 98.9%, along with a high rate cycling of 700 h at 0.3 mA cm −2 . This work provides valuable instruction for the rational design of efficient catalysts for high-performance LOBs via optimization of the crystal structure and the adsorption of intermediates.

The low selectivity for N2 in the oxidation of NH3 over commercial Pt/Al2O3 catalysts is primarily due to the overoxidation of NH3 facilitated by Pt sites, leading to the formation of unwanted byproducts such as N2O and NO. In this study, we present a novel strategy to enhance N2 selectivity while maintaining NH3 conversion by constructing Pt–O–Cu dual sites. These dual sites exhibit synergistic acid-redox characteristics through surface electron transfer mediated by bridged lattice oxygen. Additionally, the ability of surface-adsorbed oxygen to exchange with lattice oxygen is significantly improved. The electron-deficient Cu sites enhance NH3 adsorption by providing empty 3d orbitals, while the electron-rich Pt sites promote NH3 dehydrogenation. Subsequently, the formation of –NH or –N intermediates at the Pt sites can react with adsorbed NH3 on the Cu sites to produce N2, predominantly following the integrated selective catalytic reduction mechanism. The optimized dual-site catalyst achieves over 95% NH3 conversion and N2 selectivity at 180 °C.

Ginsenoside-Rb1 (Rb1), a major active component of ginseng, has many benefits for cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus (DM), but the effect and mechanism on diabetic cardiomyopathy are not clear. In the present study, we found that Rb1-feeding significantly improved cardiac dysfunction and abnormal cardiomyocytes calcium signaling caused by diabetes. This improved calcium signaling was because Rb1 reduced Ca2+ leakage caused by overactivated ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) and increased Ca2+ uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2a (SERCA 2a). Furthermore, we found that Rb1 not only enhanced energy metabolism like metformin and eliminated O-GlcNAcylation of calcium handling proteins to regulate calcium signaling but also directly inhibited RyR2 activity to regulate calcium signaling. The present study indicated that as a health supplement or drug, Rb1 was a relatively effective auxiliary therapeutic substance for diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) are a crucial bioactive component known for their various pharmacological properties. Abnormal O‐linked β‐N‐acetylglucosamine modification (O‐GlcNAcylation) is noted in cases of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). Nonetheless, it remains uncertain whether APS regulates the process of O‐GlcNAcylation associated with IVDD. We employed molecular docking, cycloheximide chase assay, immunohistochemistry, and immunoprecipitation to investigate APS‐mediated OGT/O‐GlcNAcylation regulation of Nrf2. The effects of APS and its role in promoting the O‐GlcNAcylation of Nrf2 in IVDD through both in vivo and in vitro studies are discussed. In vitro investigations demonstrated an increase in the levels of OGT and O‐GlcNAcylation in nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) following exposure to tert‐butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). APS further facilitated improvements in OGT expression and O‐GlcNAcylation processes, restoring the viability of NPCs inhibited by TBHP and promoting the synthesis of collagen II and aggrecan, while reducing apoptosis. Mechanistically, APS promotes the expression of OGT by targeting it. Furthermore, O‐GlcNAcylation mediated by OGT stabilizes the expression of Nrf2 via the ubiquitin‐proteasome pathway. Rescue experiments indicated that the disruption of either OGT or Nrf2 expression negated the protective role of APS on NPCs. Ultimately, both in vitro and in vivo studies indicated that APS significantly enhanced OGT expression and O‐GlcNAcylation, which subsequently improved Nrf2 expression and contributed to the alleviation of IVDD in rats. APS promotes O‐GlcNAcylation through OGT, thereby stabilizing the expression of Nrf2, which in turn contributes to the improvement of IVDD.

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) based on the luminol-O 2 system is attractive for biosensing, yet its efficiency under neutral conditions remains extremely limited due to the poor reactivity of dissolved oxygen. Herein, we develop a phosphorus-doped cerium single-atom catalyst (Ce-N/P-C SAC) that significantly enhances luminol-O 2 ECL in neutral media. The introduction of P atoms effectively modulates the electronic structure of Ce sites, promotes the Ce 3+ /Ce 4+ redox cycle, and accelerates the one-electron oxygen reduction reaction to generate abundant ·O 2 ⁻, leading to a 12.73-fold ECL enhancement compared with the bare electrode and a 2.13-fold increase over undoped Ce-N-C. Based on these catalytic properties, a highly sensitive ECL platform was constructed for the detection of gallic acid, achieving a wide linear range (10 nM − 10 µM) and a low detection limit of 7.42 nM. This work provides an efficient strategy for boosting neutral-pH luminol-O 2 ECL and demonstrates the practical potential of rare-earth single-atom catalysts in antioxidant determination and bioanalytical sensing.
