Mg and N co-doped carbon quantum dots (Mg-N-CQDs) were synthesized and applied to alleviate oxygen toxicity by UV-B radiation and enhance antioxidative responses to wheat seedlings. It showed that Mg-N-CQDs pre-treatment attenuated the UV-B stress effects in a dose-dependent manner, as indicated by enhancing the characteristics of seed germination and early seedling growth parameters. Meanwhile, Mg-N-CQDs can be applied in plant nutrient solutions with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other fertilizers to promote the growth of seedlings. Furthermore, efficient antioxidant systems, chlorophyll content, and stability of fluorescence intensity were activated by Mg-N-CQDs pre-treatment, which effectively increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and peroxidase (POD), and eliminate the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide, and the production rate of superoxide anion radical in the roots and germs, thereby preventing oxidative damage from UV-B stress. Notably, Mg-N-CQDs pre-treatment significantly increased the expression of related genes to improve the antioxidant capacity of roots and germs, resulting in an increased level of ATPS, CS, and GS. The mechanism study indicated that amino and hydroxyl groups and Mg, N modified CQDs could broaden the light absorption range of CQDs and improve the ability to convert blue light and ultraviolet rays to visible light, which was the main reason why Mg-N-CQDs could relieve wheat seedlings from ultraviolet stress. Therefore, Mg-N-CQDs could serve as a regulator to reduce the damage of UV-B, laying the foundation for their application in environmental protection and agricultural production.

Transition metal-nitrogen-carbon (M/N/C) catalysts, Fe/N/C in particular, with low cost, good tolerance to methanol and promising activity has great potential to replace Pt-based catalysts in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, for metal atoms are easy to migrate and agglomerate during pyrolysis , it still remains a challenge to rationally design precursors to synthesize highly active M/N/C without significant agglomeration of metal sites. In this work, we propose a molecular-confinement strategy to synthesize sub-nano Fe/N/C catalysts by confinement [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3- in zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) crystals to minimize the agglomeration of Fe atoms during pyrolysis . The half-wave potential of the prepared sub-nano Fe/N/C is 40 mV superior to that of commercial 20% Pt/C in alkaline medium . Besides, it has electron transfer number close to 4.00, with below 0.5% H 2 O 2 yield, excellent long-term stability with only −5 mV shifts after 10000 cycles, and superb methanol tolerance. When utilized in Zn-air batteries as the cathode, it exhibits better activity, stability, and higher specific capacity than that of Pt–RuO 2 /C, showing a good potential for air cathode.

Self-seeding of living crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) has been considered to be one of the most attractive strategies to fabricate well-defined fiber-like nanostructures with excellent control over their length and composition. To extend the scope of self-seeding of oligo(p-phenylene vinylene) (OPV)-based copolymers, the poly(N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide) (PHPMA) segment with proven biocompatibility, synthetic flexibility and well-developed conjugation chemistry, which was synthesized by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization using an azide-containing chain transfer agent, was coupled with the alkyne-terminated OPV block by a copper-catalyzed alkyne–azide cycloaddition reaction. All OPV5-b-PHPMA (OPV5-b-PHPMA36, OPV5-b-PHPMA71 and OPV5-b-PHPMA100, the subscripts represent the number of repeat units of each block) with the same crystallizable core-forming OPV segment but different corona-forming PHPMA blocks of various chain lengths can self-assemble in ethanol to form fiber-like micelles with a length of several micrometers by a direct heating and cooling process. Uniform fiber-like micelles with a length up to ∼1 μm can be easily prepared by temperature-induced self-seeding of OPV5-b-PHPMA71. However, for self-seeding of OPV5-b-PHPMA36, ribbon-like nanostructures with a uniform and controllable length were formed, whereas relatively short fiber-like micelles with broad length distributions were formed under similar conditions for OPV5-b-PHPMA100. These results indicated that the length of the PHPMA segment played an important role in determining the self-seeding behavior of OPV5-b-PHPMA.

Quasi-two-dimensional (2D) Ruddlesden–Popper perovskites (general formula A2Bn–1PbnX3n+1) have received extensive attention in the field of photoelectric detection due to their tunable optical band gap and excellent stability. However, the prepared 2D perovskite films are generally composed of samples with different n values. With the increase of n, the photoelectric performance is improved due to the decreased binding energy, but the thermodynamic stability is decreased. Therefore, it is necessary to find a method that can simultaneously promote the formation of a large n-value perovskite and improve its stability. In this work, we fabricated a photodetector based on the typical quasi-2D perovskite BA2MAPb2I7 (n = 2) and promoted the formation of a large n-phase quasi-2D perovskite in BA2MAPb2I7 by slowing down its recrystallization rate of perovskite through adding a metal–organic framework (ZIF-8) solution on the top of the BA2MAPb2I7 layer. Concurrently, the organic ligands present in ZIF-8 effectively passivated the defects in BA2MAPb2I7 and enhanced its stability. The obtained photodetectors show a high detection rate of 1.03 × 1013 Jones, a high responsiveness of 0.925 A/W, a high switching ratio of 105, and excellent long-term operating stability, light stability, and environmental stability without packaging. This work provides a feasible way to further improve the photoelectric performance and stability of quasi-2D perovskites.

Due to slow kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) during discharging and charging processes, it is essential to rationally design and synthesize non-precious metal bifunctional electrocatalysts with good performance for metal-air batteries. Herein, Ag-MnFe2O4heterojunction nanoparticles supported on N, S, P-codoped graphene (NSPG) are developed with enhanced ORR and OER bifunctional electrocatalytic activities and stability. In contrast, S, P-doped graphene (SPG) and N, P-doped graphene (NPG) show less stabilization for the heterojunction particles. For example, under alkaline conditions, the ORR half-wave potential of Ag-MnFe2O4/NSPG can reach 0.831 V, and the over potential for OER is 0.56 V at the current density 10 mA·cm−2. Furthermore, Ag-MnFe2O4/NSPG shows better methanol resistance and durability than Pt/C catalysts.

Electrochromic devices enable dynamic modulation of light and heat, yet their broader adoption is hindered by limited color tunability, slow switching kinetics, and low coloration efficiency. Here, we present a complementary organic electrochromic device that addresses these challenges by employing dual conductive polymers: poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) and poly(benzodifurandione). The resulting device delivers exceptional performance, featuring a high optical contrast of 51% at 570 nm, ultrafast switching speeds (0.17/0.36 s for coloration/bleaching), a record-high coloration efficiency (1688 cm 2 C⁻ 1 at 550 nm), and excellent cycling stability over 10,000 cycles. By integrating the device with a semitransparent organic solar cell, we realize a fully self-powered smart window with reducing indoor temperatures by 7 °C. Furthermore, coupling the electrochromic filter with a 4 × 4 organic photodetector array featuring on-chip Fabry–Pérot cavities enables a miniaturized spectrometer with 7.2 nm spectral resolution. This multifunctional electrochromic platform seamlessly bridges smart-window technology and spectral sensing, paving the way for energy-efficient, and compact optoelectronic systems.

Fenton-like technology is a green pathway for removing recalcitrant organic pollutants from the environment. However, low catalytic efficiency and poor stability hinder the development of Fenton-like technology as a result of the lack of effective catalysts. Here, we report a highly efficient and stable Fenton-like catalyst based on isolated single Mn atom anchored on N-doped porous carbon. The catalyst exhibits high activity and stability in the heterogeneous activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for organic pollutant degradation, showing an outstanding turnover frequency of greater than 5.69 min −1 in bisphenol A (BPA) degradation. A variety of analytical techniques as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that the unique N-coordinated single Mn atom (MnN 4 ) serves as a highly catalytically active site for PMS activation, while the adjacent pyrrolic N site acts as an adsorption site for the target organic molecules. The ultra-high catalytic activity of single Mn atom catalyst can be attributed to its fantastic dual reaction sites, which remarkably shorten the migration distance from the radical to the adsorbed organic molecules.

N-Succinyl-chitosan (NSC) was synthesized and NSC nanoparticles (NPs) with loaded osthole (Ost) (Ost/NSC-NPs) were prepared by emulsion solvent diffusion. Subsequently, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-mediated NSC-NPs with loaded Ost (Ost/LDL-NSC-NPs) were obtained by coupling LDL with Ost/NSC-NPs through amide linkage. The average particle size of Ost/NSC-NPs was approximately 145 nm, the entrapment efficiency was 78.28%±2.06%, and the drug-loading amount was 18.09%±0.17%. The release of Ost from Ost/NSC-NPs in vitro showed a more evident sustained effect than the native material. The half maximal inhibitory concentration of Ost/LDL-NSC-NPs was only 16.23% that of the free Ost at 24 hours in HepG2 cells. Ost inhibited HepG2 cell proliferation by arresting cells in the synthesis phase of the cell cycle and by triggering apoptosis. Cellular uptake and subcellular localization in vitro and near-infrared fluorescence real-time imaging in vivo showed that Ost/LDL-NSC-NPs had high targeting efficacy. Therefore, LDL-NSC-NPs are a promising system for targeted Ost delivery to liver tumor.

Extraction strategy is designed for the pretreatment of low contents of aromatic N- and S-containing compounds (ANSCs) in environmental waters prior to chromatographic analysis . To enrich studied ANSCs effectively, poly (9-vinylanthracene/4-vinylphenylboronic acid- co -ethylene dimethacrylate/divinylbenzene) polymeric monolithic sorbent were facilely fabricated using the one-step free radical polymerization . Various technologies were employed to investigate the structure and morphology of the resultant monolith. Combining with solid-phase microextraction format, the sorbent exhibited satisfying concentrated performance for ANSCs through multiply interactions under the optimized conditions. After desorption with eluent , the retained analytes were analyzed by HPLC. Results showed that the extraction efficiencies ranged from 51.6 to 93.2%. The linear ranges and limits of detection were 0.01–150 μg/L and 0.63–2.64 ng/L, respectively. Furthermore, the precisions were all below 10%. The introduced approach was productively practiced on three real water samples for simultaneous quantification of studied ANSCs, and the fortified recoveries ranged from 81.5 to 118%. All the results well evidenced that prepared sorbent can enrich ANSCs effectively and the introduced method is reliable alternative for routine analysis of ANSCs in environmental waters.

Diisocyanates are highly reactive compounds with two functional isocyanate groups. The exposure of diisocyanates is associated with severely adverse health effects, such as asthma, inflammation in the respiratory tract, and cancer. The hydrolysis product from diisocyanates to related diamines is also a potential carcinogen. Here, we developed an effective, accurate, and precise method for simultaneous determination of residual diisocyanates and related diamines in biodegradable mulch films, based onN-ethoxycarbonylation derivatization and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The method development included the optimization of ultrasonic hydrolysis and extraction, screening ofN-ethoxycarbonylation conditions with ethyl chloroformate, evaluation of the diamines degradation, and analysis of the fragmentation mechanisms. Under the optimum experimental conditions, good linearity was observed withR2> 0.999. The extraction recoveries were found in the range of 93.9–101.2% with repeatabilities and reproducibilities in 0.89–8.12% and 2.12–10.56%, respectively. The limits of detection ranged from 0.0025 to 0.057 µg/mL. The developed method was applied to commercial polybutylene adipate co-terephthalate (PBAT) biodegradable mulch film samples for analysis of the diverse residual diisocyanates and related diamine additives. The components varied greatly among the sample from different origin. Overall, this study provides a reliable method for assessing safety in biodegradable mulch films.Keywords:diisocyanates and related diamines;ultrasonic hydrolysis and extraction;N-ethoxycarbonylation;GC-MS;biodegradable mulch film

The remediation of nitroaromatic-contaminated water systems remains a critical environmental challenge, creating the urgent need for cost-effective, non-precious metal catalysts to increase wastewater biodegradability. In this study, we present an Fe/N-functionalized three-dimensional porous carbon (Fe–N–C) catalyst synthesized via a straightforward pyrolysis approach that enables efficient nitrobenzene (NB) degradation via electrochemical and chemical reduction pathways. The high-temperature pyrolysis process facilitates the iron-catalyzed reconstruction of the carbon matrix, resulting in a hierarchically porous structure with increased graphitization and uniformly distributed macrocyclic Fe–N 4 coordination sites. These structural features give the Fe–N–C catalyst exceptional electron transfer kinetics, catalytic activity, and pH adaptability, surpassing conventional graphite (GR) and nitrogen-doped carbons (NPCs) in NB reduction. Systematic evaluation of the electrochemical reduction performance revealed that the Fe–N–C electrode achieved the highest NB removal efficiency. To further assess the versatility of the catalyst, a functionalized Fe–N–C/zero-valent iron (ZVI) composite was engineered by integrating Fe–N–C as a catalytic layer onto the reductant ZVI. Compared with ZVI alone, this composite markedly increased the NB reduction efficiency. These findings provide valuable insights into the electrochemical reduction process of Fe–N–C and new directions for the rational design of efficient nitrobenzene reduction systems.
