A portable platform for the visual determination of F− and Al3+ was developed by combining FeNPs@g-C3N4 nano-enzyme and a smartphone. The FeNPs@g-C3N4 nano-enzyme with excellent peroxidase activity was synthesized through the in situ growth of Fe nanoparticles (FeNPs) on graphite-phase carbon nitride nanosheets (g-C3N4), which could catalyze H2O2 to oxidize TMB to blue oxide (oxTMB). The peroxidase activity of the FeNPs@g-C3N4 nano-enzyme could be inhibited by F−, and then restored by Al3+ because of the coordination reaction between Fe3+/Al3+ and F−. Furthermore, the solution color could be dynamically manipulated by changing the concentrations of F− and Al3+. Under optimal conditions, the developed method gave low detection limits of 2.43 nM for F− and 7.66 μM for Al3+. The cooperation of nano-enzyme and smartphone has greatly shortened the detection time and reduced the cost of detection, providing a new strategy for the on-site and convenient detection of F− and Al3+ in tea, and showed significant application potential in food safety evaluation.

Developing photocatalytic hydrogen evolution technology based on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 , CN) has emerged as a potential solution for the future energy shortage in recent years. Herein, carbon (C) and fluorine (F) co-doping graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (CFCN) were synthesized via a one-pot co-thermal method without introducing any metal element. Exceptional hydrogen production activity (3.87 mmol/h/g) was achieved by CFCN under visible light irradiation, which was 4.2-fold increase compared to the pristine CN. It could be attributed to the large specific surface area (51.59 m 2 /g) and efficient mass transfer facilitated by the porous sheet-like morphology of CFCN. Additionally, the modification of the band structure and internal charge redistribution were investigated via density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which confirmed there was a unidirectional and fast electron transfer channel from N through the C 4 delocalized large π bond to F. This creative research uncovered the pivotal role of F/C co-doping in enhancing photocatalytic hydrogen evolution efficacy, offering cutting-edge insights into the design of sustainable and eco-friendly photocatalysts based on metal-free CN.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) were typical POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants) in water. In this study, fluorine-doped covalent triazine framework (F-CTF) was synthesized using an ionothermal method, and the adsorption behavior for PFOA and 2,4,6-TCP on F-CTF was investigated using batch experiments and adsorption kinetic tests. Characterization results showed that the large surface area and abundant pore structure of F-CTF provide a large number of adsorption sites for PFOA and 2, 4, 6-TCP. Batch adsorption tests showed that F-CTF adsorbent exhibited high adsorption affinity to PFOA and 2,4,6-TCP, and the adsorption ability could be described well by the Langmuir adsorption model. The maximum adsorption capacity ( q max ) of F-CTF for PFOA and 2,4,6-TCP reached 262.5 mg/g and 709.2 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption process obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetics. The adsorption mechanism including electrostatic attraction, hydrophobic interaction, and ion-dipole interaction was further confirmed by pH and ionic strength experiments. Additionally, the UV/Na 2 SO 3 /KI system achieved 100 % degradation rate of PFOA and 2, 4, 6-TCP within 40 minutes and the influence factors were further studied. The e aq − was the main active species for the high reduction of PFOA and 2,4,6-TCP in the UV/Na 2 SO 3 /KI system.

Light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) have good prospects in the solid-state lighting field due to their simple single-layer structure and low manufacturing cost. However, the lack of high-efficiency blue LECs limits their development and further application. To solve this problem, many luminescent materials with various mechanisms such as fluorescence, phosphorescence, and thermally-activated delayed fluorescence are studied as emitters in LECs. Besides these materials, herein lanthanide europium(II) (Eu(II)) complex with d-f transition is demonstrated as a new type of emitter for LECs. In detail, a blue emitting Eu(II) complex bis[hydrotris(3-tert-butylpyrazolyl)borate]europium(II) is dispersed into 9-(3-(triphenylsilyl)phenyl)-9H-3,9′-bicarbazole host and tetrahexylammonium tetrafluoroborate electrolyte to make a blend film, which attains a high photoluminescence quantum yield of ≈100%. The LEC using the blend film as an active layer achieves a blue emission with Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage coordinates of (0.12, 0.18) and a record-breaking external quantum efficiency of 19.8%, corresponding to an exciton utilization efficiency of ≈100%. This work reveals that Eu(II) complex with d-f transition is a promising emitter toward high-performance blue LECs, which can inspire further research on Eu(II) complex based LECs.

The individual and combined interactions of bisphenol F and piceatannol with pepsin were investigated using spectroscopic methods (fluorescence, UV–vis absorption, and circular dichroism spectroscopy), combined with isothermal titration calorimetry and molecular docking. Thermodynamic data showed that hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces might play a major role for the binding process. Site marking experiments and molecular docking confirmed the binding sites of these two ligands on pepsin. The discrepancy in the binding constant between the binary and ternary systems indicated the competitive binding of piceatannol and bisphenol F to pepsin. Circular dichroism spectra studies suggested that the binding of the two ligands led to a loosening of pepsin backbone. Enzyme activity assays indicated that the inhibition of pepsin activity by piceatannol and bisphenol F was competitive. These results will be helpful to understand the mechanism of piceatannol and bisphenol F affecting the activity of digestive proteases in the sight of the food security.

Researchers often consider microorganisms from Stenotrophomonas sp. to be beneficial for plants. In this study, the biocidal effects and action mechanisms of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by Stenotrophomonas sp. NAU1697 were investigated. The mycelial growth and spore germination of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum (FOC), which is a pathogen responsible for cucumber wilt disease, were significantly inhibited by VOCs emitted from NAU1697. Among the VOCs, 33 were identified, 11 of which were investigated for their antifungal properties. Among the tested compounds, 2-ethylhexanol exhibited the highest antifungal activity toward FOC, with a minimum inhibitory volume (MIV) of 3.0 μL/plate (equal to 35.7 mg/L). Damage to the hyphal cell wall and cell membrane integrity caused a decrease in the ergosterol content and a burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS) after 2-ethylhexanol treatment. DNA damage, which is indicative of apoptosis-like cell death, was monitored in 2-ethylhexanol-treated FOC cells by using micro-FTIR analysis. Furthermore, the activities of mitochondrial dehydrogenases and mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III in 2-ethylhexanol-treated FOC cells were significantly decreased. The transcription levels of genes associated with redox reactions and the cell wall integrity (CWI) pathway were significantly upregulated, thus indicating that stress was caused by 2-ethylhexanol. The findings of this research provide a new avenue for the sustainable management of soil-borne plant fungal diseases.

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) refers to a molecular subtype of breast cancers (BC) with high rate of distant metastases and poor prognosis. Epirubicin (EPI) is widely used for the therapy of TNBC but it’s limited in clinical use due to cardiotoxicity and chemotherapy resistance. We previously identified F-α-DDB-derivative, a novel synthetic of bifendate, as a potential agent to improve the therapeutic efficacy of TNBC in combination with EPI since F-α-DDB-derivative inhibited MDA-MB-468, but not as much as EPI. In this study, we investigated the antitumor activity of F-α-DDB-derivative in combination with EPI against TNBC in vitro and in vivo and whether co-treatment would induce additional cardiotoxicity. In human TNBC MDA-MB-468 cells, application of F-α-DDB-derivative (11.5, 23.0, 46.0 μg/ml) in combination with EPI (1.5, 3.0, 6.0 μg/ml) exhibited great inhibition on cell viability and cell proliferation. Additionally, F-α-DDB-derivative (5.75, 11.5, 23.0, 46.0 μg/ml) interacted with EPI (0.75, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0 μg/ml) synergistically to induce apoptosis in MDA-MB-468 cells. This suggests that F-α-DDB-derivative may be more sensitive to apoptotic pathways. Furthermore, we revealed that co-administration of EPI and F-α-DDB-derivative (ip, once every other day for 14 days) significantly increased the therapeutic efficacy of EPI (2.0 mg/kg) or F-α-DDB-derivative (20.0 mg/kg) in mice harboring MDA-MB-468 cell xenografts without additional cardiotoxicity compared to that in EPI monotherapy group. These results implicate that co-treatment of EPI and F-α-DDB-derivative may be a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of TNBC.

This article utilizes low-frequency noise (LFN) measurements to evaluate the stability of tellurium (Te) field-effect transistor (FET). Our results show that LFN for Te FET on hexagonal boron nitride/silicon dioxide (h-BN/SiO2) tracks the trends of flicker noise (1/f noise) and decreases with increasing overdrive voltages, which is ascribed to the change of dominant carriers and the fluctuation of surface trap density. Compared with Te FET on SiO2, Te FET on h-BN/SiO2 reaches a lower LFN. To further investigate the mechanism of current fluctuation, surface trap density ( ${N} _{\text {st}}$ ) is extracted. The average value of ${N} _{\text {st}}$ for Te FETs on h-BN/SiO2 is smaller than that for Te FETs on SiO2. It is concluded that the introduction of atomically flat h-BN dielectric decreases ${N} _{\text {st}}$ , suggesting that Te FET on h-BN/SiO2 presents higher immunity to LFN and provides a design thought for devices with high stability in the future.

F-Doping effects on polyaniline-derived carbon coated Li3V2(PO4)3 (Li3V2(PO4)3−xFx@C) as a cathode for high performance Li rechargeable batteries are systematically investigated with a combined experimental and DFT theoretical calculation approach. The results clearly indicate that the doping amount has a significant impact on the rate capability and long cycle life. The optimal material (Li3V2(PO4)2.88F0.12@C) delivers 123.16 mA h g−1@2C, which is close to the theoretical value (133 mA h g−1), while showing a greatly improved cycle stability. Rietveld refinements show that the F− doping does not obey Vegard's Law, which may be attributed to the generated lower valence of V ions. AC impedance spectroscopy shows that the F-doping can achieve faster interfacial charge transfer for higher reaction reversibility. DFT calculations confirm that the lower V2+ (t2g↑)3 does exist in Li3V2(PO4)2.88F0.12, and the mean nearest neighbor Li–O bond length also increases for faster electrochemical kinetics, and further reveal that there is a tendency for a transition from the insulator to the n-type semiconductor due to the F dopant. The combined experimental and calculated results suggest that F-doping indeed greatly facilitates the charge transfer rate of the Li+ insertion/de-insertion process for better reversibility and enhances the Li+ diffusion rate to access the reaction sites, thus resulting in high rate capacity and cycling stability. This work not only offers a facile and effective approach to synthesize high performance Li-ion battery material for very promising practical applications, but also discloses scientific insights on element coating and doping to guide the electrode material design for fast electrode kinetics in energy storage devices.

Modified graphitic carbon nitride (MCN) was synthesized via calcinating β-alanine introduced melamine supramolecular precursors and poly(3-methylthiophene-co-fluorene) (P(3MT-co-F)) with improved planarity was prepared by polymerization of 3-methylthiophene (3MT) and fluorene (F) monomers. P(3MT-co-F)/MCN heterojunction was constructed by electrostatic self-assembly and the optimal 3P(3MT 1 -co-F 1 )/MCN exhibits excellent H 2 production performance of 11108 μmol h −1 g −1 under visible light, 150 times higher than MCN. The enhancement is attributed to the following aspects: First, F monomer as a rigid unit can regulate the main-chain torsion of P(3MT-co-F), enhancing planarity and facilitating intramolecular charge transport within copolymer. Second, N⋯S interactions and π-π stacking interactions at heterojunction interface improve the charge transfer and separation. Third, the incorporation of P(3MT-co-F) with narrow band gap into MCN not only broadens visible light absorption range and enhances visible light response, but also forms a Z-scheme heterojunction with MCN, further enhancing the charge separation and retaining the electrons with strong reducibility.

A novel mesoporous nanosphere functionalized with 3-(aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and 2-(5-bromothiophen)imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (5-Br-Tip) was synthesized (denoted as Tip-MSS). With the coordinating function of the 5-Br-Tip to lanthanide (Ln) ions, for the first time, LnL3(5-Br-Tip) complexes were linked to the mesoporous nanospheres. The derived materials, named Ln-Tip-MSS (Ln = Eu, Tb, Sm, Nd, Yb), were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, TEM, XRD (wide-angle and small-angle), N2 adsorption/desorption analysis, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Upon excitation in the ligand absorption, the Ln-Tip-MSS nanomaterials show characteristic visible (Eu, Tb, Sm) and NIR (Sm, Nd, Yb) luminescence (multicolor emission covered from 450 nm to 1400 nm spectral region). Of importance is that, with low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility given by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, the Eu-Tip-MSS was successfully applied to cell imaging in vitro based on the Eu3+ luminescence (under 405 nm excitation).

The establishment of simple and sensitive detection methods for fluoride ion (F − ) is of great importance for its effective prevention and control, and metal-organic framework (MOF) has attracted much attention for sensing applications due to its high surface areas and tunable structures. Herein, we successfully synthesized a fluorescent probe for ratiometric sensing of F − by encapsulating sensitized Tb 3+ in a MOF-on-MOF material (UIO66/MOF801, with the formula of C 48 H 28 O 32 Zr 6 and C 24 H 2 O 32 Zr 6 , respectively). We found that Tb 3+ @UIO66/MOF801 can be used as a built-in fluorescent probe for fluorescence-enhanced sensing of F − . Interestingly, the two fluorescence emission peaks of Tb 3+ @UIO66/MOF801 at 375 nm and 544 nm exhibit different fluorescence responses to F − under excitation at 300 nm. The 544 nm peak is sensitive to F − , while the 375 nm peak is insensitive to it. Photophysical analysis indicated that the photosensitive substance was formed, which promotes the absorption of 300 nm excitation light by the system. Self-calibrating fluorescent detection of F − was achieved due to the unequal energy transfer toward the two different emission centers. The detection limit of Tb 3+ @UIO66/MOF801 for F − was 4.029 μM, which is far lower than the WHO guideline for drinking water . Moreover, the ratiometric fluorescence strategy showed a high concentration tolerance of interference, because of its inner-reference effect. This work highlights the high potential of lanthanide ion encapsulated MOF-on-MOF as environmental sensors, and offers a scalable way for construction of the ratiometric fluorescence sensing systems.
