The design and development of microwave-absorbing materials with excellent performance hold significant importance in both civil and military fields. The combination of magnetic loss materials and dielectric loss materials can achieve complementary performance effects and regulate impedance matching. In this paper, spindle-like α-Fe 2 O 3 was synthesized using MIL-88A as a template, which was then composited with Ti 3 C 2 T x phase possessing excellent electrical conductivity to obtain Fe 2 O 3 /Ti 3 C 2 T x composites. Ti 3 C 2 T x can provide good conductance loss and dipole polarization relaxation, while the incorporation of Fe 2 O 3 between the layers of Ti 3 C 2 T x not only triggers the interfacial polarization effect but also increases layer spacing, thereby enhancing multiple reflection effects. Furthermore, the magnetic-dielectric synergies further optimize the impedance matching. Through the combined action of multiple mechanisms, the Fe 2 O 3 /Ti 3 C 2 T x composites (with a mass ratio of 1:3 for Fe 2 O 3 and Ti 3 C 2 T x ) exhibit a minimum reflection loss of −34 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 1.53 GHz at a thickness of 3 mm, as well as an effective absorption bandwidth of 2.805 GHz at a thickness of 1.5 mm. This paper presents a reference strategy for constructing highly efficient microwave absorbers derived from Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and MXene based on their outstanding properties.

A series of low-cost Lewis acidic deep eutectic solvents (DESs) was synthesized and applied for the first time for catalyzing the polymerization of α-pinene to produce terpene resins. The DES catalyst of [AlCl3]3[CPL] prepared via the self-assembly of AlCl3 and caprolactam (CPL) exhibited the highest catalytic activity, and polymerization conditions were optimized by a single-factor method: 15 g α-pinene, 3 g catalyst, 1 g initiator, −5 °C reaction temperature, and 4 h reaction time. Under these conditions, the softening point of the terpene resin reached (annular spheroid method) 118.3 °C, the acid value was 0.22 mg KOH g−1, and the depth of color (Fe–Co method) was 5. The structure of [AlCl3]3[CPL] was characterized using FT-IR, 1H-NMR, and UV-vis spectroscopy. GPC measure showed that the number-average molecular weight of the terpene resin was 510, the weight-average molecular weight was 776, and the polydispersity index was 1.523. TG results indicated that the terpene resin had favorable thermal stability. After the reaction, the product and the catalyst could be automatically divided into two phases, which was beneficial for recycling the catalyst. The results revealed that [AlCl3]3[CPL] exhibited good recyclability.

α-Ketoglutaric acid (KGA) and methanetriacetic acid (MTA) are important multi-functional carboxylic acids with versatile applications. However, their synthetic processes are still not green and efficient. Herein, we report a novel one-pot approach for sustainable synthesis of KGA and MTA from biomass-derived pyruvic and glyoxylic acids under mild conditions. KGA is synthesized via cross-aldol condensation of pyruvic and glyoxylic acids to 2-hydroxy-4-oxopentanedioic acid, followed by its sequential dehydration and hydrogenation on Pd/TiO 2 , affording a high yield of 85.4% on a molar basis of glyoxylic acid at 110 °C and 1.0 MPa H 2 . The synthesis of MTA involves cross-aldol condensation of KGA and glyoxylic acid to 3-(carboxymethyl)-2-hydroxy-4-oxopentanedioic acid and its subsequent hydrodeoxygenation on Pd/TiO 2 and MoO x /TiO 2 in a high yield of 86.2% at 200 °C and 2.0 MPa H 2 . This novel approach provides a rationale for the sustainable production of various multi-functional carboxylic acids that are still not easily available.

The continuous evolution of bacteria and the formation of biofilm have exacerbated resistance issues, highlighting the urgent need for new antibacterial materials. In this study, L-fucose was polymerized to synthesize thiolated poly(2-(L-fucose) ethyl methacrylate) (PFEMA-SH), which was subsequently co-modified with α-amylase onto gold nanorods (GNR) to prepare the antibacterial nanoparticle composite, GNR-Amy-PFEMA (G-A-P). These nanomaterials exhibit both photothermal and enzymatic properties, enabling G-A-P to effectively sterilize and disperse biofilm. Under near-infrared light irradiation, the temperature of G-A-P composite increases significantly, leading to bacterial cell damage and biofilm disruption. The G-A-P composite demonstrated nearly 100 % eradication of planktonic bacteria after 5 min of irradiation and achieved a 70.9 % reduction in mature biofilm biomass, with a 3.37-log decrease in the number of bacteria within the biofilm. These composites display strong antimicrobial activity and hold great potential for the removal of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm. Furthermore, the ability of G-A-P to reduce biofilm formation without the use of traditional antibiotics suggests that it may offer an antibiotic-free alternative for managing biofilm-related infections.

Thin-film detection technology plays a significant role in particle physics, X-ray imaging and radiation monitoring. In this paper, the detection capability of a Cs3Cu2I5thin-film scintillator toward α particles is investigated. The flexible thin-film scintillator is fabricated by a facile and cost-effective in situ strategy, exhibiting excellent scintillation properties. Upon α-particle excitation, the light yield of the Cs3Cu2I5thin-film is 2400 photons/MeV, which greatly benefits its application for single-particle events detection. Moreover, it shows linear energy response within the range of 4.7–5.5 MeV and moderate decay time of 667 ns. We further explored the cryogenic scintillation performance of Cs3Cu2I5@PMMA film. As the temperature decreases from 300 K to 50 K, its light yield gradually increases to 1.3 fold of its original value, while its decay time remains almost unchanged. This scintillator film also shows excellent low-temperature stability and flexible operational stability. This work demonstrates the great potential of the Cs3Cu2I5@PMMA film for the practical utilization in α-particle detection application.

Photovoltaic effects in two-dimensional (2D) materials leverage atomic-scale quantum phenomena, enabling ultrathin energy-converting architectures beyond the limits of conventional semiconductors. The strong in-plane bonding combined with the interlayer van der Waals interactions in 2D metal-oxide semiconductors facilitates enhanced strain gradients for generating flexoelectric polarization. The polarization-induced built-in electric field further modulates the metal-semiconductor Schottky barrier, thereby controlling the material's photoresponse performances. Leveraging this mechanism, we synthesized single-crystalline 2D MoO 3 via chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) confirmed its robust flexoelectric properties, while conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) induced large strain gradients to enhance photovoltaic response. This work establishes a pathway for flexoelectricity-driven photovoltaic control and performance augmentation in monolithic materials.

Light-induced ferroelectric polarization in 2D layered ferroelectric materials holds promise in photodetectors with multilevel current and reconfigurable capabilities. However, translating this potential into practical applications for high-density optoelectronic information storage remains challenging. In this work, an α-In 2 Se 3 /Te heterojunction design that demonstrates spatially resolved, multilevel, nonvolatile photoresponsivity is presented. Using photocurrent mapping, the spatially localized light-induced poling state (LIPS) is visualized in the junction region. This localized ferroelectric polarization induced by illumination enables the heterojunction to exhibit enhanced photoresponsivity. Unlike previous reports that observe multilevel polarization enhancement in electrical resistance, the device shows nonvolatile photoresponsivity enhancement under illumination. After polarization saturation, the photocurrent increases up to 1000 times, from 10 −12 to 10 −9 A under the irradiation of a 520 nm laser with a power of 1.69 nW, compared to the initial state in a self-driven mode. The photodetector exhibits high detectivity of 4.6×10 10 Jones, with a rise time of 27 µs and a fall time of 28 µs. Furthermore, the device's localized poling characteristics and multilevel photoresponse enable spatially multiplexed optical information storage. These results advance the understanding of LIPS in 2D ferroelectric materials, paving the way for optoelectronic information storage technologies.

Simple Summaryα-Catenin mediates cell-matrix interactions while Piezo1 at focal adhesions likely mechanosenses traction force through the matrix hydrogel during cell mechanical communication.AbstractCell-to-cell distant mechanical communication has been demonstrated using in vitro and in vivo models. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying long-range cell mechanoresponsive interactions remain to be fully elucidated. This study further examined the roles of α-Catenin and Piezo1 in traction force-induced rapid branch assembly of airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells on a Matrigel hydrogel containing type I collagen. Our findings demonstrated that siRNA-mediated downregulation of α-Catenin or Piezo1 expression or chemical inhibition of Piezo1 activity significantly reduced both directional cell movement and branch assembly. Regarding the role of N-cadherin in regulating branch assembly but not directional migration, our results further confirmed that siRNA-mediated downregulation of α-Catenin expression caused a marked reduction in focal adhesion formation, as assessed by focal Paxillin and Integrin α5 localization. These observations imply that mechanosensitive α-Catenin is involved in both cell–cell and cell-matrix adhesions. Additionally, Piezo1 partially localized in focal adhesions, which was inhibited by siRNA-mediated downregulation of α-Catenin expression. This result provides insights into the Piezo1-mediated mechanosensing of traction force on a hydrogel. Collectively, our findings highlight the significance of α-Catenin in the regulation of cell-matrix interactions and provide a possible interpretation of Piezo1-mediated mechanosensing activity at focal adhesions during cell–cell mechanical communication.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) based on α-phase FAPbI 3 (α-FAPbI 3 ) microcrystals precursor outperform those with δ-phase microcrystals due to their superior crystallinity and fewer defects, making α-phase microcrystals precursor more advantageous for high-performance PSCs. However, most reported synthesis methods of perovskite microcrystals, especially for aqueous synthesis, fail to reach the energy threshold required for α-phase transformation and therefore exhibit the δ phase. In this study, we introduce a novel aqueous synthesis method to fabricate α-FAPbI 3 microcrystals. Our approach overcomes the energy barrier by properly heating the reaction system, enabling the direct formation of α-FAPbI 3 in water. This direct one-step aqueous synthesis route yields α-FAPbI 3 microcrystals with superior phase purity, crystallinity, and minimal defect density. Combined with green anti-solvent, the high-quality α-FAPbI 3 microcrystals serving as exceptional precursors endow perovskite films with reduced nonradiative recombination. The PSC achieves a remarkable power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 24.43%, which is one of the highest PCE reports for using the green anti-solvent in ambient air condition. This aqueous synthesis approach shows a significant potential for scalable production of high-performance PSCs.

Inspired by the human visual system, artificial optoelectronic synaptic devices are capable of performing perception, recognition, and memory tasks in a highly efficient and parallel way. Among the materials explored for constructing these devices, 2D transition metal oxides (TMOs) stand out due to their tunable compositions, exceptional stability, and unique optoelectronic properties. However, challenges such as complex device architectures, compromised material quality, and high energy consumption persist. Herein, the successful growth of 2D nonlayered α-Fe 2 O 3 nanoflakes is reported via a molecular sieve-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. These nanoflakes, with a minimum thickness of two unit cells, exhibit high crystallinity, n-type charge carrier transport properties, and response to 450 nm laser illumination. Notably, the charge trapping/de-trapping at oxygen vacancies (V O ) and the light-induced ionization of V O contribute to the distinct electron concentration and current hysteresis during cyclic voltage sweeps in the thin α-Fe 2 O 3 nanoflakes. This mechanism results in a significantly prolonged photocurrent decay, enabling the emulation of biological synaptic behaviors such as excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC), paired-pulse facilitation (PPF), short-term potentiation (STP), and long-term potentiation (LTP). Combined with the scalability of the CVD process, this work highlights the potential of 2D α-Fe 2 O 3 for applications in integrated artificial vision systems.

Silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) with α -phase content ∼90.0 wt% and oxygen content ∼1.00 wt% was prepared by combustion synthesis method using recycled silicon waste from photovoltaic industry. The effects of reaction pressure and environmentally-friendly new additive C 3 H 6 N 6 on the phase composition, and morphology and reaction mechanism of the combustion synthesized α -Si 3 N 4 powder were studied. The results indicate that a lower N 2 pressure is conducive to increasing the α -phase content and reducing the oxygen content of the Si 3 N 4 powder. The addition of C 3 H 6 N 6 as an effective additive facilitates the deoxidation and nitridation reactions of recycled silicon waste, which further increases the α -phase content and reduces the oxygen content of the Si 3 N 4 powder. This work demonstrated that the recycled silicon waste from photovoltaic industry holds great promise to be used as the silicon source for the cost-effective synthesis of high quality α -Si 3 N 4 powder.

Developing low-friction, high wear-resistant epoxy-based self-lubricating composites is crucial for reducing friction and wear in transmission components of advanced equipment. However, the shortcomings of brittleness in hence and poor wear resistance of epoxy limit its tribological application under harsh sliding conditions. In this study, the nanohybrid of h-BN nanosheets (BNNSs)-supporting-α-Fe 2 O 3 was designed to harness their synergistic reinforcement and lubricating effect on the tribological performance of epoxy. The feature of α-Fe 2 O 3 /BNNSs was analyzed, and its tribological enhancement on epoxy nanocomposites was explored systematically. Results demonstrated that the α-Fe 2 O 3 of size less than 50 nm was uniformly loaded on the BNNSs surface to form a rough microstructure, which was conducive to perfecting the interfacial compatibility of the epoxy composite. Moreover, the α-Fe 2 O 3 /BNNSs significantly improved the capacity for antifriction and anti-wear of epoxy. Only by filling 0.7 wt% α-Fe 2 O 3 /BNNSs, the coefficient of friction (COF) of the corresponding composite coating was reduced by 85.1%, and its wear rate was significantly reduced, nearly 96.7%. More importantly, the epoxy-0.7 wt%α-Fe 2 O 3 /BNNSs kept reasonable tribological performance under high loads/speeds. By analyzing the worn surface of friction pairs, the tribological synergism of α-Fe 2 O 3 /BNNSs on epoxy coatings was discussed. This study might offer novel insights into the design of high-performance epoxy self-lubricating nanocomposite coatings.
