Photocatalytic oxidation of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) is a promising technology for environmental protection and green sustainable development. However, its practical application remains limited due to inefficient activation of NO and O 2 , stemming from inadequate structural design of photocatalysts. Herein, we developed a thin-layer two-dimensional (2D) material Bi 2 MoO 6 (BMO) via cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CTAC) addition in synthesis process, which effectively modulates the surface electronic structure, enhance the light absorption and activation of NO and O 2 . This thin-layer Bi 2 MoO 6 nanosheets achieved a NO oxidation efficiency of 45.3 %, which was about 5.5 times that of traditional bulk BMO (8.2 %). Additionally, it demonstrated superior selectivity for NO 2 − /NO 3 − production (86.6 %) compared to bulk BMO (60.5 %) and significantly reduced the formation of toxic NO 2 byproducts (13.4 % vs. 39.5 %). Combining experimental characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) simulations, it demonstrated that the electron-hole pair separation could be promoted and targeted adsorption activation of O 2 can be enhanced to form superoxide radicals (•O 2 − ) and singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) via the effect of surface charge transfer adjustment on the thin-layer structure of Bi 2 MoO 6 , which are key factors affecting the efficiency and selectivity of photocatalytic oxidation of NO. This work provides important insights into the formation of directed ROS and proposes a unique mechanism for selective NO oxidation.

Fly ash, a solid waste rich in silicon (Si) and aluminum (Al), offers significant potential for valorization through the high-value synthesis of zeolites, exemplifying the waste-to-wealth approach. We determined the optimal synthesis conditions for FA-β zeolite using the alkali fusion hydrothermal synthesis method, with fly ash as the primary raw material. The conditions included a NaOH/FA ratio of 1.2, a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 30, an H2O/Al2O3 ratio of 1200, a TEAOH/Al2O3 ratio of 14, a β-seed addition of 7.5%, and hydrothermal conditions of 140 °C for 72 h. XRD and FTIR analyses confirmed that the diffraction peaks of the synthesized fly ash-based zeolite align well with the standard pattern of commercial β zeolite. Removal experiments indicated that the efficiency of nitrogen oxides removal hinges on the adequate oxidation of NO. Under optimized conditions, the FA-β zeolite demonstrated a removal efficiency of 83%. ESR analysis revealed that the removal mechanism involves the oxidative elimination of NO, catalyzed by FA-β zeolite through the decomposition of H2O2 to OH radicals. This novel synthesis method, which utilizes fly ash as the raw material to prepare β zeolite, offers advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness and environmental protection. It holds significant potential for applications in environmental conservation.

Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) leads to persistent tissue damage, antibiotic-resistant infections, and neurogenic inflammation, greatly impairing patients' quality of life. Current therapies fail to simultaneously eliminate resistant bacterial biofilms, neutralize alkaline conditions, and break the cycle of ammonia (NH 3 ) regeneration. Here, a piezoelectric gas therapy strategy based on platinum-decorated bismuth molybdate load in gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel (Pt@BMO-Gel) is introduced. Under ultrasound excitation, Pt@BMO generates high piezoelectric potential to improve charge separation, selectively adsorbs NH 3 on BMO (001) crystal facets, efficiently degrades NH 3 to normalize pH, and enables sustained release of H 2 and NO for dual antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Mechanistic insights from theoretical calculations show that the Pt (111) and BMO (001) surfaces lower energy barriers for H 2 formation and N─H bond cleavage, conducive to the generation of NO and H 2 . Transcriptomic profiling reveals downregulation of key nitrogen metabolism genes (arcC/hutH) in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and disruption of the (p)ppGpp-mediated stringent response, effectively eradicating bacterial persistence via metabolic reprogramming. This study establishes Pt@BMO as an efficient piezoelectric catalyst for wound therapy, presenting a novel approach in medicine that transforms harmful NH 3 into therapeutic H 2 and NO, offering a promising treatment paradigm for infected wounds, such as incontinence-associated dermatitis.

The catalytic conversion of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) to non-toxic products has emerged as a critical strategy for air pollution control under stringent emission regulations. Photocatalytic NO x removal performance highly depends on the transmission of photogenerated electrons and the amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated. Herein, the Bi/BiOCl/SrTiO 3 heterostructure photocatalyst was prepared by a simple in situ synthesis method to address the limitations of conventional NOx removal systems. Due to the synergistic effect of bismuth (Bi) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and the built-in electric field in BiOCl/SrTiO 3 S-scheme heterojunction, Bi/BiOCl/SrTiO 3 showed strong light absorption ability and high charge separation efficiency, with the highest NO removal efficiency reaching 70 %. The enhanced electronic interaction between Bi and BiOCl/SrTiO 3 induced Bi-O covalent bonds with the BiOCl layer to facilitate fast charge separation, promoting the rapid transfer of interfacial photogenerated carriers, this process induces the activation of O 2 and H 2 O to form reactive oxygen species (ROS) to promote the oxidative removal of NO. This study provides new insights into the development of effective photocatalysts with fast charge separation by synergistic metal active sites and built-in electric field of heterojunction for air pollutant purification.

The self-limiting Cabrera–Mott oxidation reaction on metal surfaces provides an effective pathway for synthesizing atomically thin 2D metal oxide. Inspired by this reaction, it is proposed that solid bismuth metals can react with dissolved oxygen and water molecules in an aqueous environment, forming an ultrathin oxyhydroxide layer on their surfaces. The lattice mismatch between the surface oxyhydroxide layer and the underlying pure metal enables the mechanical exfoliation of detached 2D oxyhydroxide nanosheets. Moreover, the sulfurization interaction between the oxyhydroxide and dissolved H 2 S expands the applicability of solid–liquid interfacial reactions for realizing 2D bismuth oxysulfide, effectively tuning their electronic bandgap energy, work function, and band position. Given its good photoresponse from blue to UV light, the optoelectronic gas sensing performances of bismuth oxysulfide are investigated. Under purple light irradiation, the Bi 2 O 1.12 S 1.88 -based gas sensor exhibits an excellent optoelectronic response factor of 48.5% toward 10 ppb NO 2 , which is the lowest detection limit for reported bismuth compounds-based gas sensor so far. This work provides a novel and facile synthesis approach for 2D metal oxyhydroxide and oxysulfide and simultaneously demonstrates the substantial potential of bismuth oxysulfide in high-performance optoelectronic gas sensing.

Surfaces with uniform and stable superwetting behavior have enormous application prospects. In particular, an air-water/oil amphibious superhydrophilic-superhydrophobic surface is advantageous in oil-water separation and oil-repellent materials. However, existing methods to create this property require either water pretreatment or time-consuming stimulation process, which makes instant oil-water identification impossible. Here, inspired by Namib desert beetle, we propose a strategy to construct layers differing in surface free energies to achieve surfaces that are simultaneously superhydrophilic-superoleophobic. Rough microcrystalline cellulose particles were modified by 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy and perfluorooctanoic acid to successively construct high- and low-surface free energy layers. Surfaces prepared by simple spraying of these particles display excellent and stable superhydrophilicity-superoleophobicity under the amphibious conditions of air and water/oil, as well as excellent temperature and abrasion resistance. Pressed cotton membranes treated with these particles can effectively separate oil-water mixtures and oil-in-water emulsions without any pretreatment, even when the oil phase is highly viscous. Moreover, cotton gloves coated with these particles have superior water permeability and oil repellency without losing breathability. These results suggest a new approach towards oil-water separation and oil-repellent fabrics.

Oroxylin A, a flavonoid, is naturally produced in many medicinal plants. Our previous study identified it as a phytoestrogen. Based on this, the present study investigated its vasoconstriction reducing effects and whether the action was mediated by the estrogen receptor (ER) signal pathway. Long-term in vitro treatment with oroxylin A reduced Ach-induced vasorelaxation and NE-mediated or KCl-mediated contractile responses in rat aortic rings. These effects were interfered by an ER inhibitor ICI 182,780. Rat cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs) and aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were used to study the possible underlying mechanisms. Oroxylin A activated the ER signal pathway. In CMECs, it increased NO production and eNOS protein expression. In VSMCs, it promoted NO production and iNOS protein expression. These effects were also inhibited by ICI 182,780. Besides, oroxylin A stimulated ERα and ERβ protein expression in CMECs and VSMCs. All these findings suggest that the ER signal pathway takes part in the vasoconstriction reducing effects of oroxylin A.

Newly brewed Baijiu often contains harmful substances such as mercaptan and methanol, which are spicy and harmful to health. At present, this is mainly solved by long-term cellaring, but this is faced with some problems such as a long cycle, high cost, high fire hazards and so on. Therefore, based on the principle of liquid jet cavitation explosion catalyzing the heterogeneous association of Baijiu molecules, this paper first developed the physical aging process and equipment without radiation and additives. Then, based on the traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of high-speed jet simulation, an N-CFD model which can accurately simulate the cavitation explosion catalytic process of high-speed jet of Baijiu was established by optimizing the three sub models of conservation, turbulence and VOF. Finally, the N-CFD model was used to optimize the distance between the nozzle and the reaction chamber wall of the new aging equipment. Through the 15 min aging experiment on 100 L Baijiu, the methanol concentration of Baijiu decreased by 68.14 ± 2.25%, and the concentration of ethyl acetate, ethyl lactate and ethyl palmitate increased from 6.105 ± 0.014, 3.498 ± 0.015 mg/L and 0.621 ± 0.010 mg/L to 6.332 ± 0.016, 4.868 ± 0.012 mg/L and 0.681 ± 0.008 mg/L. The results show that the aging technology equipment can adjust the self-coupling characteristics and dynamic characteristics of various molecules in Baijiu through high-speed jet, and catalyze the alternating phase transition and association of various molecules. Finally, the goal of high-efficiency and healthy aging Baijiu without additives was achieved, which helps the rapid and healthy development of the Baijiu brewing industry.

The hybrid grouper ( Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ♀ × Epinephelus lanceolatus ♂), a typical carnivorous fish, has a limited ability to utilize dietary carbohydrates (CHOs). This study investigated the effects of different dietary arginine (Arg) levels (2.55 and 3.65%) and CHO-to-lipid ratios (C/L: 3.57, 2.39, 1.61) on the glycometabolism of hybrid grouper. Juvenile hybrid grouper (mean initial body length and weight: 7.8 cm and 13.04 g) were manually fed to fullness two times per day throughout a 7-week growth trial. The results showed that the C/L3.67 diets significantly elevated 2-h postprandial blood glucose concentration, as well as reduced hepatic glycogen level, intraperitoneal fat ratio (IPF), and the whole-body and hepatic lipid contents relative to the C/L2.39 and C/L1.61 diets. Dietary Arg supplementation significantly improved this metabolic disorder. These improvements were associated with enhanced plasma insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) concentration, hepatic phosphofructokinase (PFK) activity, nitric oxide (NO), and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels. They were also linked to the upregulated expression of key molecules in related pathways, including IGF-1 receptor (igf1r), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (pi3k), protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit α (ampk-α), and protein kinase B (Akt) genes, as well as glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) proteins. Generally, suitable dietary Arg supplementation can reduce postprandial blood glucose and hepatic glycogen concentrations in hybrid grouper fed high C/L diets by regulating key genes and proteins within the IGF-1 and NO-cGMP pathways. This finding provided a nutritional intervention to enhance CHO utilization in hybrid grouper aquaculture.

Abstract The catalytic conversion of gaseous NO to NH3 offers a promising dual-benefit strategy for environmental remediation and sustainable chemical synthesis. Herein, CuO/Al2O3 catalysts with varied CuO loadings (x wt %, xCu/Al) were developed for the possible NH3 production from NO reduction by CO with the assistance of H2O. While increasing CuO loading (1–12 wt %) monotonically improved NO conversion to N2 under dry conditions, the introduction of H2O dramatically boosted NO conversion on 5Cu/Al with highly dispersed CuOx clusters, raising its NO conversion comparable to that of 12Cu/Al. Further analysis revealed that NH3 was generated on xCu/Al catalysts under wet conditions, with NH3 generation on 5Cu/Al initiating at the lowest temperature (275 °C) and being the most vigorous. Combined experimental and theoretical analysis suggested that, on CuOx clusters, H2O facilitated the conversion of the NCO* intermediate to NH3 with a much lower activation barrier compared to its CO-mediated pathway to N2, well explaining the boosted NO conversion and NH3 yield on the 5Cu/Al catalyst upon H2O addition to NO + CO flow. This work highlights that a simple, earth-abundant Cu catalyst enabled the efficient and cost-effective synthesis of NH3 from air pollutants of NO and CO under mild conditions, underscoring a sustainable strategy that simultaneously addresses pollution abatement and resource recovery.

Infected diabetic wounds have become a major global health threat due to their complex conditions, making them difficult to heal. Herein, a coaxial fibrous dressing capable of sequential release of nitric oxide (NO) and molecular hydrogen (H2) was designed for the treatment of infected diabetic wounds. The outer layer of the coaxial fibers was physically loaded with the NO donor, enabling the first stage of rapid and high-level NO release (over 170 μM). The released NO contributed to the antibacterial function of the dressing (in vitro antibacterial assays demonstrated eradication rates of 99.99% and 99.04% against S. aureus and E. coli, respectively), thus facilitating accelerated transition of the wound through the inflammatory phase. The inner layer of coaxial fibers becomes progressively exposed following structural disintegration, enabling the hydrolysis of encapsulated H2 donor to achieve on-demand release of H2 under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. The released H2 could promote wound healing through reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging and macrophage M2 polarization, as validated by in vitro cell assessments. In vivo infected full-thickness skin defect model in diabetic mice demonstrated that the NO/H2 sequential release coaxial fibrous dressing significantly accelerated healing of infected wounds through rapid bactericidal action via substantial NO release, followed by further sequential H2 release promoting repairing and regeneration. This temporally sequential delivery of antibacterial and healing-promoting functions significantly accelerated the healing of infected diabetic wounds.

Using leaves from a single origin and the same harvest batch, processing was the sole variable: homologous Gougunao No. 2 green and black teas were produced. An integrated workflow (UHPLC–HRMS and HS-SPME–GC–MS) was combined with flavonoid contents and multiple antioxidant assays to probe how processing reshapes the composition–function–aroma nexus. Multivariate analysis clearly separated the two teas, with green tea showing higher flavonoids and stronger antioxidant readouts. In non-volatile fraction, 1988 features were detected, of which 713 changed significantly, implicating remodelling of flavonoid- and catechin-centred pathways and purine metabolism. In volatile fraction, 1066 compounds were annotated, with 76 differing significantly; relative odor activity value based analysis indicated that unsaturated aldehydes and sulphur-containing compounds drive a roasted, full-bodied profile in black tea, whereas alcohols, esters and selected terpenoids confer fresher, fruity notes in green tea. Overall, these results support a processing-associated bitterness–aroma rebalancing pattern and nominate candidate chemical indicators for quality evaluation.
