A series of Nd3+/Yb3+ co-doped Ca2LaTaO6 (CLTO) phosphors are synthesized by a high temperature solid phase method. Structural characterization confirms the successful incorporation of Nd3+ and Yb3+ ions into the CLTO host lattice. The photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of CLTO:Nd3+ and CLTO:Nd3+/Yb3+ are investigated in detail. Under the excitation of ultraviolet (UV) and visible (VIS) light, the CLTO:Nd3+/Yb3+ phosphor emits broadband near infrared (NIR) luminescence. In particular, the luminescence intensity of the Yb3+ ion is increased through an energy transfer (ET) process from Nd3+ to Yb3+. The luminescence mechanism of the CLTO:Nd3+/Yb3+ sample is analyzed based on the decay lifetime and PL spectra. In addition, the NIR emission intensity of Yb3+ ions is also enhanced by doping K+ ions. The broadband luminescence (850–1050 nm) of the CLTO:Nd3+/Yb3+/K+ phosphor has good application in solar cells and anti-counterfeiting.

This study describes a general approach to design and synthesize a series of novel high-k polymers containing π-conjugated structures with cyano groups for use as a dielectric layer in organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). The polymer dielectric films have been evaluated based on surface morphology, dielectric constant, leakage current density and compatibility with organic semiconductors, which can be readily fabricated via solution processes in an ambient atmosphere. The characterization confirms that the π-conjugated structures with cyano groups can provide a high dielectric constant (high-k) and a low electrostatic loss. With these polymer dielectric layers, para-sexiphenyl (p-6P)/vanadyl-phthalocyanine (VOPc) OTFTs exhibit excellent performances with a threshold voltage of −3.22 V, a charge carrier mobility of 0.49 cm2 V−1 s−1, and an on/off current ratio >106.

Two pure borophosphates microporous materials, K[ZnBP 2 O 8 ] and NH 4 [ZnBP 2 O 8 ], have been synthesized and characterized by XRD, FT-IR, DTA-TG techniques and chemical analysis. The molar enthalpies of solution of K[ZnBP 2 O 8 ](s) and NH 4 [ZnBP 2 O 8 ](s) in 3 mol · dm −3 HCl(aq), of KCl/NH 4 Cl(s) in (HCl + H 3 BO 3 )(aq), and of Zn(PO 3 ) 2 (s) in (HCl + H 3 BO 3 + KCl/NH 4 Cl)(aq) were measured by microcalorimeter at T = 298.15 K, respectively. With the incorporation of the previously determined enthalpy of solution of H 3 BO 3 (s) in 3 mol · dm −3 HCl(aq), together with the use of the standard molar enthalpies of formation for Zn(PO 3 ) 2 (s), KCl(s), NH 4 Cl(s), H 3 BO 3 (s) and H 2 O(l), the standard molar enthalpies of formation of −(3184.0 ± 1.2) kJ · mol −1 for K[ZnBP 2 O 8 ] and −(3067.6 ± 1.2) kJ · mol −1 for NH 4 [ZnBP 2 O 8 ] at T = 298.15 K was obtained on the basis of the appropriate thermochemical cycles.

Some cinobufagin oxime ether derivatives as potential Na + /K + -ATPase inhibitors were synthesized by following the side chain of istaroxime. These compounds inhibit Na + /K + -ATPase in a dose-dependent manner. Compound 3 c with an oxyethylamine side chain that is the same as that of istaroxime showed the most potent inhibition, which was stronger than compound 3 a with only hydroxyoxime moiety at C-3 and compound 3 b with a methylated hydroxyoxime moiety. Molecular docking was used to explore the binding modes of the target compounds with Na + /K + -ATPase, which suggested that the longer ethyl amine group at C-3 oxime moiety of compound 3 c could make stronger interaction with Na + /K + -ATPase via intermolecular charge-charge and H-bond interaction as compared with other derivatives.

This work aimed at elucidating the beneficial effect of the solid-phase grinding method on the catalytic performance of K- x Al for catalyzing γ-valerolactone to butene. Research indicated that a part of Al species was successfully introduced into the framework of KIT-6 support without destroying its original ordered mesoporous structure by the solid-phase grinding treatment method. Hence, Lewis and Brønsted acid sites were formed on the surface of the catalyst. By adjusting the amount of Al species, the content of weak acid sites (100-300 °C) on the catalyst surface can reach as much as 0.31 mmol·g −1 . Through the catalytic activity tested, the K-4Al catalyst exhibited optimum catalytic performance. The GVL conversion rate and butene yield can reach 96.2% and 90.1% at 300 °C, respectively. In addition, the K-4Al catalyst also showed satisfactory renewable performance in cycle tests. These findings will provide useful guidelines for further catalyst design for the preparation of butene from γ-valerolactone.

H2O2 has a wide range of uses as an oxidant and is also utilized as a high density and environmentally friendly fuel. In this study, crystalline g-C3N4 was modified with K+, Ni and N-doped carbon by thermal-polymerization of Ni2+-anchored and polyvinyl pyrrolidone-encapsulated melamine-cyanuric acid supramolecules, followed by re-calcination in a KCl–LiCl mixture. The obtained strip-like g-C3N4 nanocrystals exhibited high charge separation efficiency and good light absorption capability. Density-functional theory calculations confirmed that the orbital hybridization of Ni–N atoms enabled the formation of charge-transfer channels, which can capture electrons, achieve enhanced oxygen adsorption and reduction via a two-electron pathway. Under the synergistic effects of K+, Ni and N-doped carbon dopants and crystallinity, the obtained sample exhibited high photocatalytic H2O2 yields of 79.6 μM in O2-saturated pure water, which was 10-fold higher than the yield using pristine g-C3N4. This work provides a novel design for production of highly efficient photocatalysts for H2O2 production.

Herein, zirconia thin films are successfully prepared on silicon substrates using the sol–gel method, and the microstructure, optical, and electrical properties of zirconia high- k gate dielectric films are analyzed at different annealing temperatures. X-ray diffraction results show that ZrO 2 films crystallize above 500 °C and the grain size increases with the increase of annealing temperature; X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis confirms that metal–oxygen bonds can be effectively formed and defects in the films are eliminated by annealing treatment, with significant changes in the valence band shift (Δ E v ) and conduction band shift (Δ E c ) with increasing annealing temperature. Analysis of the optical properties of the films by UV-Vis confirms that all zirconia films have high transmittance, with the bandgap increasing from 5.54 to 5.74 eV with increasing annealing temperature. Atomic force microscope and field emission scanning electron microscope show that the film quality is better and the root mean square roughness of the zirconia films increases from 0.551 to 1.190 nm and the film thickness decreases from 176.19 to 58.73 nm with increasing annealing temperature. Electrical performance tests show that proper annealing is effective in improving electrical properties, such as obtaining a larger dielectric constant ( k ) and a lower leakage current density.

Due to unique chelating and macrocyclic effects, crown ether compounds exhibit wide application prospects. They could be introduced into amphiphilic copolymers to provide new trigger mode for drug delivery. In this work, new amphiphilic random polymers of poly(lipoic acid-methacrylate-co-poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate-co-N-isopropylacrylamide-co-benzo-18-crown-6-methacrylamide (abbrev. PLENB) containing a crown ether ring and disulphide bond were synthesized via RAFT polymerization. Using the solvent evaporation method, the PLENB micelles were formed and then used to load substances, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and gold nanoparticles. The results showed that PLENB exhibited a variety of lowest critical solution temperature (LCST) in response to the presence of different ions, such as K+, Na+and Mg2+. In particular, the addition of 150 mM K+increased the LCST of PLENB from 31 to 37 °C and induced the release of DOX from the PLENB@DOX assemblies with a release rate of 99.84% within 12 h under 37 °C. However, Na+and Mg2+ions could not initiate the same response. Furthermore, K+ions drove the disassembly of gold aggregates from the PLENB-SH@Au assemblies to achieve the transport of Au NPs, which is helpful to construct a K+-triggered carrier system.Keywords:crown ether;amphiphilic copolymers;K+-triggered;Au NPs;disassembly

Lysosomal acidification is essential for its degradative function, and the flux of H+ correlated with that of K+ in lysosomes. However, there is little research on their correlation due to the lack of probes that can simultaneously image these two ions. To deeply understand the role of K+ in lysosomal acidification, here, we designed and fabricated a nanodevice using a K+-aptamer and two pH-triggered nanoswitches incorporated into a DNA triangular prism (DTP) as a dual signal response platform to simultaneously visualize K+ and pH in lysosomes by a fluorescence method. This strategy could conveniently integrate two signal recognition modules into one probe, so as to achieve the goal of sensitive detection of two kinds of signals in the same time and space, which is suitable for the detection of various signals with the correlation of concentration. By co-imaging both K+ and H+ in lysosomes, we found that the efflux of K+ was accompanied by a decrease of pH, which is of great value in understanding lysosomal acidification. Moreover, this strategy also has broad prospects as a versatile optical sensing platform for multiplexed analysis of other biomolecules in living cells.

This study utilized beeswax and k-carrageenan as gelling agents to prepare oleogels and hydrogels, respectively. The amalgamation of the two gels in frozen water led to the formation of bigels. With the goal to improve the consistency and long-lasting nature of the bigel, starch was added to the mixture. A study was then done to evaluate how the addition of starch affected the thermal, mechanical, and rheological properties, as well as the capacity of the bigel to withstand freeze-thaw resilience. The results indicated that the bigel without starch exhibited a melting temperature comparable to that of the oleogel. However, the inclusion of starch resulted in a decrease in the melting temperature to 44.88 °C, accompanied by a wider endothermic peak. The enthalpy of the bigel with additional starch dramatically increased to 42.227 J/g. The addition of starch significantly improved the mechanical characteristics of the bigel, resulting in an average increase in hardness of 32.3% and Young's modulus of 54.2%. Furthermore, the bigel demonstrated exceptional freeze-thaw stability, exhibiting an average enhancement of around 5% when compared to the equivalent without starch. The use of hydrogel enhanced the thermal durability of the bigel, preventing structural collapse when the ambient temperature rose. This study proposes a method to produce starch bigels that possess excellent freeze-thaw stability and rheological properties.

Background Cathepsin K (CTSK) is a key enzyme in bone resorption, making it a promising target for osteoporosis treatment. Active-site inhibitors of CTSK are effective but have undesirable side effects, while ectosteric inhibitors may provide a safer alternative. Purpose This study investigates whether Sophoraflavanone G (SG), derived from Rhizoma Drynariae , can act as an ectosteric CTSK inhibitor to attenuate osteoporotic bone loss and explores its underlying mechanisms. Study Design SG's effects were evaluated in an ovariectomized (OVX) osteoporotic mice model, with in vitro experiments assessing SG's interaction and binding affinity with CTSK. Methods Micro-CT, histology, and mechanical testing were used to evaluate bone density and strength. CTSK activity and expression were assessed by immunohistochemistry and western blotting. Cell thermal shift assays, isothermal titration calorimetry, CTSK site-specific degradation assays, molecular docking and dynamic simulation were performed to study SG's binding affinity and inhibitory effects. Biosafety, including body weight, uterine histomorphometry, and toxicity of the heart and lung, was also assessed. Results SG improved bone mineral density, microarchitecture, and strength, primarily by inhibiting bone resorption. It inhibited CTSK's enzymatic activity with a strong binding affinity (KD: 8.49 μM) and effectively inhibited osteoclast function. CTSK site-specific assays showed SG inhibited CTSK-mediated degradation of type I collagen. Unlike odanacatib, SG did not affect gelatin or TGF-β1 degradation in fibroblasts. Biosafety assessments revealed no adverse effects. Conclusion SG acts as an ectosteric CTSK inhibitor, offering a safer alternative for postmenopausal osteoporosis treatment by selectively inhibiting bone resorption without the side effects associated with active-site inhibitors.

Liposomes show promise for anti-cancer drug delivery and tumor-targeted therapy. However, complex tumor microenvironments and the performance limitations of traditional liposomes restrict clinical translation. Hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified nanoliposomes effectively target CD44-overexpressing tumor cells. Combination therapy enhances treatment efficacy and delays drug resistance. Here, we developed paclitaxel (PTX) liposomes co-modified with ginsenoside compound K (CK) and HA using film dispersion. Compared to cholesterol (Ch), CK substantially improved encapsulation efficiency and stability. In vitro release studies revealed pH-responsive behavior, with slower release at pH 7.4 versus faster release at pH 5. In vitro cytotoxicity assays demonstrated that replacing Ch with CK in modified liposomes considerably decreased HCT-116 cell viability. Furthermore, flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy showed a higher cellular uptake of PTX-CK-Lip-HA in CD44-high cells, reflected in the lower half maximal inhibitory concentrations. Overall, CK/HA-modified liposomes represent an innovative, targeted delivery system for enhanced tumor therapy via pH-triggered drug release and CD44 binding.Keywords:liposomes;compound K;tumor-targeted therapy;PTX;hyaluronic acid
