Single component semiconductor materials with piezoelectric response can promote the activation of hydrogen ions (H + ) and the generation of hydrogen (H 2 ) under the action of mechanical force, but the high recombination rate of carriers is the major obstacle to strengthen piezocatalytic efficiency. Here, a groundbreaking Bi 2 MoO 6 -BaTiO 3 (BMO-BTO) Type-I heterojunction piezocatalyst is successfully fabricated through a solvothermal strategy, and applied for cocatalysts-free piezocatalytic H 2 production reaction. Under ultrasonic vibration, the H 2 production rate of BMO-0.1BTO heterojunction can reach up to nearly 152.57 µmol/g/h, which is approximately 9.33 and 4.47 times with respect to that of pristine BMO (16.36 µmol/g/h) and BTO (34.16 µmol/g/h) alone, respectively. Furthermore, BMO is also combined with other commonly used piezocatalysts to construct heterojunctions, and analogous marvelous piezocatalytic H 2 production performance was attained. The enhanced piezocatalytic H 2 production performance can be credited to the established built-in electric field (BIEF) in heterojunction extraordinarily suppressed the recombination rates of piezocarriers, rather than an increase in piezoelectricity, which is emphatically verified through a series of physics and chemical characterizations. This study presents an innovative paradigm for fabricating BMO-based heterojunction piezocatalyst to efficiently convert mechanical energy into chemical energy.

Highly transparent and large-area scintillator film is highly desirable for next-generation X-ray imaging and detection. Herein, we develop a rapid and in situ synthesis strategy to fabricate polymer scintillator film composed of (C 14 H 15 P) 4 Cu 4 I 4 glassy cluster gel (M1-GCG). The large-area M1-GCG film of 20 × 12 cm was obtained by in situ UV photopolymerization within 30 s, showing ∼90% transmittance in the broad spectral region of 400–1,000 nm, in which Cu(I) iodide clusters coordinated by phosphine ligands are generated as a glassy form in the polymer network structure and uniformly distributed under supramolecular interactions, as the polymer monomer is polymerized and cross-linked under ultraviolet light. We develop a brand-new chemical synthesis route toward polymer-based composite scintillator film, and the M1-GCG film with high transparency and scintillation properties, as well as high-resolution X-ray imaging ability, shows extraordinary potential for large-area medical imaging and industrial non-destructive detection.

We studied the dielectric properties of organosilicon-containing helical cyclopolymer PbMA which consists of PMMA main chains and tetramethyldisiloxane side rings. PbMA formed films with excellent uniformity through spin-coating onto highly n-doped silicon (n-Si) wafers for constructing devices of dielectric measurements, on which the dielectric properties and I-V characteristics of PbMA were studied. PbMA has a much lower dielectric constant (lower than 2.6) in the frequency range of 10–10 5 Hz, and better thermal stability than PMMA does. I-V data showed that the metal/PbMA/n-Si devices have different conducting directions, depending on whether Au or Al deposited over PbMA layers.

Calcium phosphates are one of the most important biogenic minerals found in living organisms. Recent studies have suggested a non-classical mineralization pathway, which emphasizes the amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) as a precursor phase during biomineral crystallization. However, its precise mechanism in mineralization is still poorly understood. Here, we found the aggregation state of ACP affected the nucleation of hydroxyapatite (HAP), which was controlled by collagen-I fibrils in simulated body fluids (SBFs). Our experiment reveals that at low supersaturation, collagen-I fibrils can prevent the self-aggregation of ACP precursor nanoparticles, thus promoting HAP heterogeneous nucleation by increasing the effective surface area of ACP. However, at high supersaturation, the aggregation state of ACP didn't change, and the nucleation rate of HAP kept almost the same. This finding suggests that the aggregation of ACP plays an important role in controlling HAP nucleation kinetics, which follows a new strategy to promote the biomineralization process.

Abstract Homogeneous Cu(I)/NMI/TEMPO catalyst system (TEMPO = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl) has been investigated for its catalysis on the aerobic oxidation of 1-octanol and other alcohols into aldehydes under room temperature. The catalytic species was found to be a Cu(I) centre coordinated by two NMI molecules and other two weakly bound solvent molecules, [Cu(NMI) 2 (Sol) 2 ] + (Sol = solvent). When CuI was used, this species could be [Cu(NMI)I(Sol) 2 ]. Not like being speculated previously, NMI in this system acts solely as a ligand and its role coordinated to the copper centre enhanced the electron density on the metal centre which promoted the O 2 binding in the catalysis. The labile solvent binding to the Cu(I) centre is essential to ensure both oxygen and substrate binding. The catalyst system is suitable for the oxidation of various alcohols using a simple reaction setup and workup. In particular, the system possesses strong oxidizing capability in quantitative conversion of benzylic alcohols regardless of the substituents on the phenyl ring and allylic alcohols into aldehydes. A plausible mechanism was also proposed for the catalysis. Graphical Abstract The aerobic oxidation of primary alcohols at room temperature to corresponding aldehydes was achieved by the catalyst composed by Cu(I) and methyl imidazole (NMI) mediated by TEMPO in acetonitrile. The catalytic species is proposed to be such a Cu(I) complex that two of its four coordinating sites are occupied by a strong ligand(s) and the rest two are weakly bound by solvent molecules.

Overuse of acetaminophen (APAP) is a major cause of drug-induced liver failure at the clinics. Apigenin (API) is a natural flavonoid derived from Matricaria chamomilla. The aim of the present study was to investigate the amelioration function of API in APAP-induced hepatotoxicity both in vitro and in vivo and investigate its potential mechanisms. Analysis results of the activities of serum alanine and aspartate aminotransferases (ALT and AST), malondialdehyde, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) demonstrated therapeutic effects of API. MTT assay results revealed that API attenuated APAP and its metabolic product, N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI) induced cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner in human liver cells, L-02 cells. Subsequently, metabolomic results of cells and serum analyses demonstrated an aberrant level of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT1A). We established that API stimulated CPT1A activity in mice liver tissues and L-02 cells. Molecular docking analyses revealed potential interaction of API with CPT1A. Further investigation of the role of CPT1A in L0-2 cells revealed that API reversed cytotoxicity via the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/GSK-3β signaling pathway and compound C, which is a selective AMPK inhibitor, inhibited activation of CPT1A induced by API. API was bound to the catalytic region of AMPK as indicated by molecular docking results. In addition, compound C suppressed nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 (NRF2) that is enhanced by API and inhibited the antioxidative function of API. In summary, the study demonstrates that API attenuates APAP-induced hepatotoxicity by activating the AMPK/GSK-3β signaling pathway, which subsequently promotes CPT1A activity and activates the NRF2 antioxidant pathway.

Due to the relative abundance, long half-life and high mobility of radioactive cesium (Cs), new adsorbents are urgently needed to treat Cs to ensure public health. In this study, a graphene oxide (GO) based adsorbent for Cs(I) adsorption was prepared by 1-aza-18-crown-6 ether modification. XRD, FT-IR, XPS and SEM results showed that the properties of 1-aza-18-crown 6 ether modified GO (18C6-GO) changed dramatically compared with that of raw graphite. The adsorption properties of 18C6-GO for Cs(I) were studied by batch static adsorption experiments. The results showed that the adsorption equilibrium time of 18C6-GO was 20 h. Kinetic study revealed that the adsorption rate of Cs(I) conformed to pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Langmuir adsorption isotherm simulation indicated that the adsorption arises at homogeneous adsorption sites on 18C6-GO. Therefore, crown ether modified GO may have implications for the treatment of wastewater.

MGCD0103, an isotype-selective HDACi, has been clinically evaluated for the treatment of hematologic malignancies and advanced solid tumors, alone and in combination with standard-of-care agents. In this study, we developed a serum metabolomic method based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to evaluate the effect of intragastric administration of MGCD0103 on rats. The MGCD0103 group rats were given 20, 40, 80 mg/kg of MGCD0103 by intragastric administration each day for 7 days. Pattern recognition analysis, including both principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares-discriminate analysis (PLS-DA) revealed that intragastric administration of MGCD0103 induced metabolic perturbations. As compared to the control group, the levels of L-alanine, L-isoleucine, and L-leucine of MGCD0103 group decreased. The results indicate that metabolomic methods based on GC-MS may be useful to elucidate side effect of MGCD0103 through the exploration of biomarkers (L-alanine, L-isoleucine, and L-leucine). According to the pathological changes of liver at difference dosage, MGCD0103 is hepatotoxic and its toxity is dose-dependent.

Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE, EC.3.4.15.1) inhibitory peptide is an efficacious therapy for hypertension. In this study, four dipeptides, TY, FD, FL and FG, were identified from the desalted fraction of bovine hemoglobin hydrolysate, obtained by in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion, via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The IC 50 value of TY and FL are 96.43 ± 6.17 and 290.66 ± 57.92 μM, respectively. The result of molecular docking indicated that TY occupied the ACE subsite S1 and S1′ with a lowest estimated binding energy of −9.96 Kcal/mol, while FL occupied the subsite S5 with a lowest estimated binding energy of −9.37 Kcal/mol. The subsite S1′ and S2′ are closer to the ACE active center (Zn 2+ ) than S5, and the lowest estimated binding energy of TY is lower than that of FL. This work provided new ACE-inhibitory peptides derived from bovine hemoglobin hydrolysate and explained their inhibitory mechanism.

Organometal halide perovskite nanocrystals have received extensive attention as a high-performance photoelectric conversion material. However, the perovskite nanocrystals prepared by the traditional batch reactor have uncontrollable size and optical properties, low utilization of raw materials, and complicated purification treatment. In this paper, a flow microreactor is designed with the assistance of finite element analysis and realized the continuous synthesis of CH3NH3PbX3 nanocrystals with a 100% yield. The average size of the prepared nanocrystalline grains is as low as 3.9 nm without any purification step. The prepared nanocrystals have narrow-band emission characteristics (the full width at half-maximum is down to 18 nm), and the quantum yield can reach 76.9%. It is also possible to prepare CH3NH3PbX3 (X = Br, I) nanocrystals covering different emission wavelengths in the visible light region by this method. The coating of a polystyrene film improved the stability of the perovskite nanocrystals. The flexible hybrid film is applied to modify a LED device, and a white LED luminescence spectrum is obtained.

In this work, we demonstrated a high performance planar heterojunction perovskite solar cell with the polyethylenimine ethoxylated (PEIE) interlayer. By adopting a less polar solvent for PEIE, enhanced device performance and uniformity are achieved. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the best device increases by 22% compared to the reference device and reaches 14.82% with J SC of 19.45 mA/cm 2 , V OC of 1.00 V, and FF of 76.31% under AM 1.5G 100 mW/cm 2 light illumination. The UPS measurement shows that the PEIE layer can effectively decrease the energy offset between PCBM and metal electrode. The recombination mechanism was explored by measuring V OC and J SC at various light intensities from 100 to 0.1 mW/cm 2 . It shows that the PEIE layer can suppress the trap-assisted recombination for the devices. The enhancement of the probability of the carriers collection also shows that the recombination is reduced by the PEIE interlayer. Moreover, it is found PEIE layer can improve the stability of the device.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) poses a severe threat to human health, making its rapid and sensitive diagnosis crucial. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) has been established as the gold standard biomarker for AMI diagnosis. Herein, a dual-mode immunosensor was constructed by integrating manganese dioxide (MnO 2 ) nanozyme and fluorescence carbon dot (B-CDs) in silica (SiO 2 ), termed B-CDs@SiO 2 @MnO 2 , for the colorimetric and fluorescent detection of cTnI. The sensing signal mainly included two parts: B-CDs@SiO 2 @MnO 2 -based catalytic color reaction and B-CDs@SiO 2 fluorescence recovery after etching MnO 2 . The MnO 2 nanozyme catalyzes the oxidation of TMB to generate blue-colored TMBox, which turns yellow upon acid addition, enabling colorimetric detection. Concurrently, the MnO 2 nanosheets quench the fluorescence of B-CDs@SiO 2 . In the presence of ascorbic acid (AA), MnO 2 is reduced to Mn 2+ , leading to fluorescence recovery and thus enabling fluorescent detection. Profiting from the superior self-correction features of B-CDs@SiO 2 @MnO 2 dual-mode sensor, this method exhibits good linearity and sensitivity toward cTnI among 0.05–50 ng/mL, with detection limits of 0.0074 ng/mL for the colorimetric mode and 0.0063 ng/mL for the fluorescent mode. In addition, the human serum samples’ recoveries show good agreement between the colorimetric mode (90.0–117.8%) and the fluorescent mode (90.2–115.8%). Furthermore, we employ this platform to monitor cTnI levels in both cellular and blood samples from AMI patients, indicating the promising clinical application potential of this platform.
