Gas separation membranes have a wide range of applications in industry, and there are two important factors in judging membrane standards permeability and selectivity. How to improve the selectivity of gas separation membranes while improving permeability is a challenge. In this study, poly (aryl ether sulfone) (PES) block copolymers were synthesized from fluorine-terminated polysulfone (PSF–F) and hydroxyl-terminated cardo PES containing phenyl substituted isoindolinone side group (PES-PPI-OH). Large side groups can enlarge the free volume and hinder chain movement to improve gas permeation behavior. Solvent-induced microphase separation of block copolymers by casting membranes with solvent benzyl alcohol (BA) can improve selectivity. The PSF- b -PES-PPI (10:10) BA membrane maintain good mechanical properties and tensile strength up to 93 MPa which compared to random polymer membrane rises to 14 MPa. Gas permeation at 23 °C showed that the O 2 /N 2 selectivity of PSF- b -PES-PPI (5:15)BA membrane was 10.6, which was the 2008 Robeson upper bound. Thus, poly (aryl ether sulfone) materials showed great potential application for O 2 /N 2 separation.

Oxygen/nitrogen (O 2 /N 2 ) separation is of great importance but faces huge challenges owing to their similar molecular size and close polarity. In this work, we construct a polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1) based mixed matrix membrane (MMM) for efficient O 2 /N 2 separation by using ZIF-8 as the sieving filler along with surface modification of o-carborane (o-CB) to strengthen selective N 2 adsorption fixation as well as polymer-filler interfaces. Markedly, the o-CB on the outer surface of ZIF-8 not only affords the requisite interfacial compatibility in molecular sieving MMMs, but also increases the diffusion difference between O 2 and N 2 by the preferential adsorption with N 2 molecules. This synergistic effect of molecular sieving and adsorption inhibition achieves efficient O 2 /N 2 diffusion differential separation. As expected, the optimal membrane with o-CB-ZIF-8 loading of 35 wt% exhibits an O 2 permeability of 796.5 Barrer and a mixed O 2 /N 2 selectivity of 8.9 with O 2 /N 2 (20:80, vol.) mixtures, exceeding the latest 2015 upper bound limits. Moreover, the according membrane module with o-CB-ZIF-8 loading of 20 wt% also displays moderate O 2 permeability of 391.7 Barrer and O 2 /N 2 selectivity of 5.5 under pressure of 1 bar. This work may provide a feasible platform for designing high-performance MOF-based membranes in air separations.

High-voltage and fast-charging LiCoO 2 (LCO) is key to high-energy/power-density Li-ion batteries. However, unstable surface structure and unfavorable electronic/ionic conductivity severely hinder its high-voltage fast-charging cyclability. Here, we construct a Li/Na-B-Mg-Si-O-F-rich mixed ion/electron interface network on the 4.65 V LCO electrode to enhance its rate capability and long-term cycling stability. Specifically, the resulting artificial hybrid conductive network enhances the reversible conversion of Co 3+/4+ /O 2−/ n − redox by the interfacial ion–electron cooperation and suppresses interface side reactions, inducing an ultrathin yet compact cathode electrolyte interphase. Simultaneously, the derived near-surface Na + /Mg 2+ /Si 4+ -pillared local intercalation structure greatly promotes the Li + diffusion around the 4.55 V phase transition and stabilizes the cathode interface. Finally, excellent 3 C (1 C = 274 mA g −1 ) fast charging performance is demonstrated with 73.8% capacity retention over 1000 cycles. Our findings shed new insights to the fundamental mechanism of interfacial ion/electron synergy in stabilizing and enhancing fast-charging cathode materials.

In this work, beta zeolite supported Ti 3+ -TiO 2 /CdS heterojunction was prepared for photodegradation of tetracycline under visible-light irradiation, and zeolite served as a support for the high dispersions of the Ti 3+ -TiO 2 nanoparticles . The obtained zeolite/Ti 3+ -TiO 2 /CdS heterojunction showed a relatively high surface areas of approximately 63.2 m 2 g −1 , much higher than those of the prepared Ti 3+ -TiO 2 /CdS (27.1 m 2 g −1 ), Ti 3+ -TiO 2 (36.5 m 2 g −1 ), and CdS (31.1 m 2 g −1 ), strongly demonstrating the significant of zeolite for high dispersion of the Ti 3+ -TiO 2 /CdS composite. Besides, the experimental results also showed that the photocatalytic degradation efficiency could reach 78 % in 3 min for the zeolite/Ti 3+ -TiO 2 /CdS heterojunction, and the corresponding rate constant was as high as 0.788 min −1 , which was 26.90 times that of pristine Ti 3+ -TiO 2 , 2.24 times of pristine CdS , and 2.04 times of the Ti 3+ -TiO 2 /CdS composite, mainly because of the supporting effects of zeolite and the formation of Ti 3+ -TiO 2 /CdS heterostructure for highly enhanced charge separation. In addition, the trapping experiment revealed that the main reactive species involved in tetracycline degradation were attributed to the photo-generated holes and ⸱O 2 - species.

The synergistic nanotheranostics of reactive oxygen species (ROS) augment or phototherapy has been a promising method within synergistic oncotherapy. However, it is still hindered by sophisticated design and fabrication, lack of a multimodal synergistic effect, and hypoxia-associated poor photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy. Herein, a kind of porous shuttle-shape platinum (IV) methylene blue (Mb) coordination polymer nanotheranostics-loaded 10-hydroxycamptothecin (CPT) is fabricated to address the abovementioned limitations. Our nanoreactors possess spatiotemporally controlled O2 self-supply, self-sufficient singlet oxygen (1O2), and outstanding photothermal effect. Once they are taken up by tumor cells, nanoreactors as a cascade catalyst can efficiently catalyze degradation of the endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into O2 to alleviate tumor hypoxia. The production of O2 can ensure enhanced PDT. Subsequently, under both stimuli of external red light irradiation and internal lysosomal acidity, nanoreactors can achieve the on-demand release of CPT to augment in situ mitochondrial ROS and highly efficient tumor ablation via phototherapy. Moreover, under the guidance of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent imaging, our nanoreactors exhibit strongly synergistic potency for treatment of hypoxic tumors while reducing damages against normal tissues and organs. Collectively, shuttle-shape platinum-coordinated nanoreactors with augmented ROS capacity and enhanced phototherapy efficiency can be regarded as a novel tumor theranostic agent and further promote the research of synergistic oncotherapy.

As the production and consumption of electronic products increasingly rely on ternary lithium-ion batteries, the need for effective recycling and disposal methods for these batteries becomes crucial. This study introduces a novel, efficient co-pyrolysis method for recycling Li(Ni 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 )O 2 (NCM) cathode materials from spent ternary lithium-ion batteries. Employing a 1.0:0.35 mass ratio of NCM: polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in an oxygen-free environment, high recovery rates of Li (91.3 %), Ni (93.5 %), Co (93.6 %), and Mn (94.5 %) metals are achieved. The NCM cathode materials begin to decompose at temperatures below 500℃ and are fully reduced and segregated into Ni-Co alloy, MnO, and Li 2 CO 3 at 550℃ in this process. Notably, the decomposition and reduction temperature of 550℃ is significantly lower than those reported in other studies. Moreover, the NCM cathode material, were regenerated from the pyrolysis products through a straightforward high-temperature solid-phase process, and the regenerated NCM demonstrates remarkable electrochemical properties with strong cycling and rate performance. This method significantly contributes to environmental conservation, offering a green solution for recycling ternary battery waste while also addressing the challenge of waste PVC plastics. This dual-faceted approach mitigates environmental burden and resource wastage, marking a stride towards sustainable waste management and circular economy.

The reactions of oxygen and samarium ions in molten NaCl–2CsCl eutectic in the temperature range of 823–913 K have been investigated by potentiometric titration in an inert gas atmosphere. The activity of oxygen ions in the studied melts was monitored using a standard YZME (indicator) electrode based on Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 with a solid–electrolyte membrane. The titration of Sm3+ by O2− ions demonstrated the formation of insoluble SmOCl compounds in the investigated region. The mechanism of formation of SmOCl and Sm2O3 was established by the analysis of potentiometric titration curves. Subsequently, the solubility of SmOCl and Sm2O3 in the melt was calculated using the material balance equation and solubility constant equation. Finally, the basic thermodynamic properties of SmOCl and Sm2O3 in molten NaCl–2CsCl eutectic were calculated, and the properties of samarium in the melt were summarized using the Pourbaix-type (E-pO2−) diagram to determine the kinds of stabilized samarium compounds. Furthermore, the optimal chlorination conditions can be obtained from the E-pO2− diagram of Sm.

Lattice defects in rare earth (RE) doped single-phase semiconductor materials play a key role in structural modifications and physicochemical characteristics, resulting to enhance the ionic conductivity. In this work, we synthesized lanthanum doped samarium oxide with different mole ratios and applied it as a ceramics membrane fuel cell device to enable high peak power density (PPD) at low operational temperatures (520–400 °C). The samples are capable of triple charge H + /O 2− /e − conduction and enhance the catalytic function of the cell in terms of HOR and ORR kinetics by producing lattice defects. The fabricated Sm 1.5 La 1.5 Fe 5 O 12 (2-SLFO) fuel cell device exhibits a high OCV of 1.13 V with a maximum PPD of 864.26 mW/cm 2 at 520 °C. Durability measurement verifies that 2-SLFO-based fuel cell device can be worked for 60 h under fuel cell conditions (H 2 /air) at 520 °C. The first principle calculations using density functional theory (DFT) demonstrate that the higher oxygen vacancy concentration in the 2-SLFO sample may cause to the higher charge-transfer kinetics, subsequent in the enhancement of ions transportation of the fabricated fuel cell device.

Direct epoxidation of propylene (C 3 H 6 ) with hydrogen (H 2 ) and oxygen (O 2 ) over Au/TS-1 catalyst was promising way for the synthesis of propylene oxide (PO). However, high selectivity of PO (>95 %) and conversion of C 3 H 6 (>5 %) cannot be achieved at the same time. The industrialization process was severely restricted. In this paper, Au/TS-1 catalysts were synthesized by deposition precipitation method with alkali metal promoter. And alkaline gases and silane coupling post-treatment were performed to promote the catalytic activity. The prepared samples exhibited a much better C 3 H 6 conversion (6.5 %) and PO selectivity (95.1 %) compared with general catalyst using normal synthetic technology. Cs 2 CO 3 was beneficial to increasing Au nanoparticles uptake efficiency. Both NH 3 and triethoxyvinylsilane post-treatment were good for smaller and more uniform loading of Au nanoparticles. The decreasing in surface hydroxyl density effectively alleviated the occurrence of PO ring opening isomerization. The increased hydrophobicity of TS-1 surface was conducive to the rapid desorption of generated PO and significantly increased PO selectivity. Multiple pretreatment was also favorable for extending the lifetime of Au/TS-1 catalyst.

The wide occurrence of metronidazole (MNZ) in aquatic environment has aroused increasing concern to the potential adverse effects on human health. Combining different motifs into a photolytic material to achieve high photocatalytic efficiency is regarded as one of the main strategies during photocatalytic process. Herein, a triple anions contained photocatalyst , Ba 3 (BO 3 )(CO 3 )F (BBCF), exhibited excellent removal efficiency of MNZ (92.6%) in 15 min, which was 5.87 times higher than that of commercial P25. The excellent removal efficiency could be attributed to the strong electronegativity of the F − , and the π-conjugated triangles structure of (BO 3 ) 3− and (CO 3 ) 2− , which made BBCF facilitate the transport of photogenerated electrons, thus accelerating the accumulation of active h + . Meanwhile, the appropriate reduction potential of BBCF accounted for the outstanding productivity of O 2 – . h + and O 2 – were proved as the dominant reactive species for MNZ degradation. The degradation products were analyzed by LC-TOF-MS, and the toxicity of the intermediate was evaluated to be lower than that of parent MNZ molecule. Moreover, BBCF showed the universal application of degrading oxytetracycline (OTC), methylene blue (MB). Therefore, anion-rich BBCF catalyst with high catalytic activity has a potential application prospect for degrading harmful pollutants in practical water environment.

Impaired wound healing in diabetes is closely associated with cellular ferroptosis. Microneedle-assisted gas therapy exerts molecular regulation of ferroptosis, representing a promising approach for accelerating diabetic wound healing. To date, O 2 and H 2 gas therapies have consistently been conducted independently and have never been integrated into a single system. Whether and how their synergy might be realized remains a defining challenge. Herein, we propose a concept of integrated O 2 and H 2 gas therapy, demonstrated by fabricating a gas-producing microneedle material. Platinum@MIL-101(Fe)-NH 2 @phosphotungstic acid (PMP) nanoparticles are synthesized as a visible light-driven photocatalyst for H 2 and O 2 co-evolution. The rational design of a spatially separated structure boosts their photocatalytic efficiency under physiological conditions. PMP nanoparticles are further incorporated with bilayer gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)/PMP composite microneedles (denoted as GPM microneedles). The obtained GPM microneedles enable transdermal delivery of PMP nanoparticles for integrated O 2 and H 2 gas therapy, and demonstrate desirable biocompatibility and pro-regenerative effects. The mechanism of integrated O 2 and H 2 gas therapy has been identified as a TNFAIP3/hnRNPA1 ubiquitination/ferroptosis signaling axis, establishing for the first time a direct link to ferroptosis. In conclusion, this study yields a transformative concept and a ferroptosis-targeting microneedle material with well-defined molecular mechanism for diabetic wound management.

Salmonella typhimurium ( S. typhimurium ), as common and highly pathogenic foodborne pathogen, poses a significant risk to public safety worldwide. The development of highly sensitive, rapid and on-site method for S. typhimurium analysis is urgently needed to prevent bacterial infections. Herein, we introduced a CRISPR/Cas12a-driven electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor based on luminol/O 2 binary systems for S. typhimurium detection, employing ultrafine Pt nanoclusters-anchored 2D delaminated-MXenes (Pt NCs/D-MXenes) as the co-reactant accelerator. The ultrathin D-MXenes support regulates the size and dispersibility of Pt NCs and facilitates the full exposure of active sites, and synergistic interactions between D-MXenes and Pt NCs improves electrocatalytic properties toward the reduction of O 2 , which promotes the generation of ROS for boosting ECL emission. Using target responsive-regulated CRISPR/Cas12a system, the ECL sensor for S. typhimurium showed a broad concentration range from 10 1 to 10 6 CFU/mL and limit of detection of 6 CFU/mL, with satisfactory recoveries in spiked-actual samples.
