To assess the feasibility of using C-S–H seeds to boost the anti-mechanical vibration capabilities of concrete, this work evaluated the mechanical properties, hydration kinetics, phase assemblage of hydrates, and pore structure of Portland cement (PC) and slag cement mortars, at varying dosages of C-S–H seeds. Results reveal that the incorporation of C-S–H seeds negatively affects the vibration resistance of neat PC, while it effectively enhances the vibration resistance of slag cement. The addition of these seeds facilitates cement hydration and improves the early mechanical properties, which is evident in the shortened appearance time of the hydration exothermic peak by almost 50%. The remarkable vibration resistance observed in slag cement primarily stems from the synergistic effect between C-S–H seeds and slag. However, the premature formation of the internal microstructure in neat PC due to C-S–H seeds disrupts the stability of mutual construction between hydration products. The findings indicate that C-S–H seeds can be used in engineering to enhance concrete lifespan, reduce road repair expenses, and enhance construction efficiency.

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in skin tissue serves as a critical biomarker for oxidative stress and physiological status, yet its precise in situ monitoring remains challenging due to the lack of non-invasive, real-time sensing platforms. Herein, we presented a smartphone-assisted biosensing system based on a nanozyme-integrated hydrogel microneedle patch for on-site and quantitative detection of cutaneous H₂O₂. The sensing platform incorporated a palladium-embedded metal-organic framework (Pd-PCN) with enhanced peroxidase-like activity, which was co-immobilized with a chromogenic substrate in a polymeric composite hydrogel microneedle array. This composite matrix maintained structural integrity and biocompatibility during short-term skin application while providing an aqueous microenvironment favorable for nanozyme-catalyzed reactions. Upon insertion into the skin, H₂O₂ from interstitial fluid would diffuse into the microneedle and trigger a colorimetric reaction. The resulting color intensity could be quantitatively captured via smartphone-based RGB analysis. The system demonstrated a wide linear detection range (5~100 µM), a low detection limit (1.53 µM), high reproducibility (RSD < 5%), and negligible interference from common biological substances. Confocal imaging and mechanical testing further confirm the structural stability and skin-penetration capability of the microneedle under operational conditions. This work established a reliable, minimally invasive, and user-friendly platform for continuous monitoring of oxidative biomarkers in skin, paving the way for personalized dermatological care and point-of-care diagnostics.

In this study, a novel Ni-Cu/OH-BN(h)-PA-Zn-DCD composite coatings with excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance was developed, which may be used in the field of seawater corrosion. By the self-assembling of phytic acid, Zn 2+ and dicyandiamide to grow PA-Zn-DCD structure onto the surface of hydroxylated BN(h) nanosheets, obtained a hybrid denoted as OH-BN(h)-PA-Zn-DCD, which was doped into Ni-Cu coating by pulse electrodeposition. The results show that OH-BN(h) and OH-BN(h)-PA-Zn-DCD hybrids affect the surface morphology, roughness, microcrystals size and thickness of the composite coatings. Simultaneously, compared with NC coating and NC/HB-1.5 coating, NC/BP-1.5 coating has the highest microhardness (559.26 Hv), the lowest friction coefficient (0.172), and the best corrosion resistance (i corr is 3.551 × 10 −8 A·cm −2 , R ct is 1.098 × 10 6 Ω·cm 2 ). In addition, the EIS results of the immersed specimens showed that the NC/BP-1.5 composite coating still has good protective ability after soaking for 15 days in simulated seawater medium (R ct is 7.434 × 10 6 Ω·cm 2 ).

A series of silica supported Pd (Pd/SiO2) catalysts were prepared in various HCl concentrations (CHCl) of the impregnation solution with different electrostatic interactions between Pd precursor and support, and their catalytic properties were evaluated by the selective hydrogenation of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR). The results show that with the CHCl increasing from 0.1 to 5 M, the particle size of Pd nanoparticles dramatically decreases from 24.2 to 5.1 nm and stabilizes at ∼5 nm when CHCl is higher than 2 M. Using the catalysts prepared with a high CHCl (>2 M), an excellent hydrogenation degree (HD) of ∼94% with 100% selectivity to C═C can be acquired under mild conditions. Interestingly, the HD could be remarkably increased from 65 to 92% by increasing only CCl– from 0.1 to 2 M with the addition of NaCl while keeping CH+ at 0.1 M. This is because PdCl42– is the predominant existing form of precursor at high CCl–, which has a strong electrostatic attraction with the positively charged support favorable for the formation of small-sized Pd nanoparticles over silica. Notably, Pd leaching behavior during the hydrogenation reaction is closely related to CH+, and the higher the CH+, the less Pd residues are detected in the hydrogenated NBR. Our contribution is to provide a facile strategy to synthesize effective and stable Pd/SiO2 catalysts via adjusting the electrostatic interaction, which exhibits a high activity and selectivity for NBR hydrogenation.

Low adsorption efficiency and secondary pollution release pose a bottleneck for the efficient capture of radioactive iodine vapor during nuclear utilization via adsorption. In addition, the simultaneous adsorption of iodine vapor alongside other harmful vapors in complex systems has been rarely reported. In this work, an electron/H-donating defective pore construction strategy involving MIL-101 modification via amino acids (AAs) was proposed to enhance its simultaneous adsorption efficiency for iodine and formaldehyde vapors. These defective microenvironments possessed microporous property with 11.3 Å, which not only formed strong affinity for I 2 molecules itself but also enhanced its adsorption interaction towards polyiodide anion (I 3 - and I 5 - ) through electron donation of AAs. Moreover, these adsorbed polyiodide anions and AAs-SL within the MOFs, resulting in multisite capture of FA via NH…O-H…I hydrogen bonding. The results revealed that AAs coordinated MIL-101 exhibited superior removal rate ( k 80% = 0.61–1.15 g g −1 h −1 ) for iodine vapor than that of the original MIL-101, which was 3.6–30.8 times higher that of state-of-the-art adsorbents under similar conditions. Notably, a high-capacity superior retention rate of 94.8 % was achieved for its I 2 adsorption after exposure to air for 7 days. After adsorption of iodine, AAs coordinated MIL-101 retained high FA adsorption capacity up to 9.7–12.9 mg/g, representing 75.1 %–87.7 % of the original AAs@MIL adsorption capacity for FA. This defective engineering strategy in MOFs supplied an efficient method for removing multiple harmful gases from the surrounding nuclear waste atmosphere.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) represents a globally prevalent malignancy characterized by a poor prognosis, largely due to the challenges that patients face in tolerating invasive diagnostic procedures. Therefore, it is imperative to explore strategies to enhance the early diagnostic rate for patients with ESCC. Based on the property of H-chain ferritin-based magnetic ferritin nanoparticles (M-HFn) as contrast agents that can target cluster of differentiation 71 (CD71), this study provides a comprehensive evaluation of the expression levels and diagnostic potential of CD71 to investigate the feasibility of utilizing M-HFn for non-invasive diagnosis. Following the synthesis and the characterization of M-HFn, an orthotopic mouse model is developed to simulate the progression of ESCC. Subsequently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are conducted after administering M-HFn to the mice. The results indicate a progressive increase of CD71 expression in tissues, transitioning from normal epithelium to esophageal squamous precancerous lesions (ESPL) and ultimately to ESCC. M-HFn injected into the mice selectively target cells with heightened CD71 expression, resulting in accumulation at the lesion sites. Consistent with pathological diagnoses, MRI images demonstrate a reduction in signal intensity at the lesion site in T 2 -weighted sequences, thereby facilitating the visualization of ESCC and ESPL. CD71 demonstrates high accuracy and specificity as a diagnostic target, positioning M-HFn-mediated targeted diagnostic strategy as a promising approach for the early detection of ESCC, with the potential to significantly improve patient prognosis.

The molecular structure and surface properties of peanut proteins are altered by their non-covalent interactions with food polyphenols, which alter their allergenicity. In our research, the interactions between the critical peanut allergen (Ara h 2) and a model polyphenol (tannic acid [TA]) were studied utilizing experimental (spectroscopy and calorimetry) and molecular docking methods. Ultraviolet (UV) and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy analysis indicated that the microenvironment polarity and secondary/tertiary structure of Ara h 2 were changed due to its interaction with TA. Specifically, degree of molecular disorder increased, and the surface hydrophobicity of the polypeptide decreased after Ara h 2 interacted with TA. Analysis using fluorescence quenching, isothermal titration calorimetry, and molecular docking showed that the main non-covalent interactions were hydrogen bond formation between the Ara h 2 and TA. Binding site analysis using molecular docking indicated that the TA may have interacted with specific amino acids in the polypeptide chain, including Lys 31, Arg 34, Asp 35, Trp 44, Ser 54, Arg 59, Arg 60, Arg 122, Glu 123, and Gln 130. These amino acids are known to be part of the IgE epitope regions of Ara h 2, and so TA binding might be expected to impact peanut protein allergenicity. Indeed, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) study indicated that the IgE binding capacity of Ara h 2 was reduced after interacting with TA in a dose-dependent manner. This study enriches the understanding of the interactions between peanut protein allergens and small-molecule nutrients and provides a method for reducing the potential allergenicity of Ara h 2. Practical applications Employing the plant polyphenols as a means to modulate the activity of food allergens could potentially offer a breakthrough in managing food allergies. The strategic non-covalent binding of polyphenols, exemplified by TA, to the peanut allergen Ara h 2, may effectively lower its capacity to trigger allergic reactions, thereby offering an approach to mitigating peanut sensitization risks. The study examined the alterations in the structure and allergenic properties of Ara h 2 following its interaction with TA. This investigation was poised to accelerate the identification of TA's potential to inhibit peanut-induced allergic responses through allergen binding.

Although laser ignition is considered to be one of the most promising ways to detonate energetic materials due to its high safety and reliability, it is still a challenge to achieve direct ignition of energetic materials by a laser with low-power and near-infrared (NIR) band. In this paper, a molecular self-assembly strategy based on recrystallization was utilized to prepare 4,4′,5,5′-tetranitro-1H,1′H-[2,2′-biimidazole]-1,1′-diamine (DATNBI) crystals with various micro-nano structures. The characterization results suggest that DATNBI crystals with different degrees of roughness and defects by the induction of solvents and surfactants. The crystal defects can not only bring about the enhancement of light absorption of DATNBI in NIR band, but also advance its thermal decomposition, providing reliable support for direct laser ignition of DATNBI profit from the hot spot ignition theory. Combined with density functional theory, it is speculated that electrons of defect states achieve electron-hole recombination by laser radiation, thereby enhancing photothermal conversion. Compared with raw DATNBI, DATNBI crystals with rough surface and abundant defects can be directly ignited by a NIR laser and exhibits self-sustainable combustion. In summary, a direct NIR laser-ignitable energetic material has been prepared via appropriate crystal structure design.

Through H-shaped macroinitiator glycol-chlorine((Cl) 2 -PEG-(Cl) 2 ) to initiate the ATRP reaction of 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate (HEMA) we synthesized H-shaped copolymer (PHEMA) 2 - b -PEG- b -(PHEMA) 2 . After we modified the copolymer with histidine (His), the self-assembling and drug release behavior was studied. The morphology of the copolymer micelles and drug loaded micelles were examined by transmission electron microscope (TEM). Spherical micelles and core-shell structure with a diameter of 165 nm were obtained (at pH = 7.0). Due to the presence of imidazole-ring in histidine the copolymer show commendable pH-sensitivity, which made the copolymer potential application as drug carrier exhibiting good control-released property.

The h-BN/ZrO 2 composites for preparing ceramic side sealing plate were obtained with spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 1700 °C for 10 min in the study. By varying AlN content from 0 to 20 wt%, we systematically explored its influence on sintering behavior, microstructure evolution, mechanical performance, and corrosion mechanism at1600 °C. Results show that the rapid heating and uniaxial pressure during SPS and the in-situ reactions between AlN and ZrO 2 promoted the densification of composites. The main reaction products were ZrN, which acted as an effective oxygen scavenger, consuming dissolved oxygen ([O]) and converting into ZrO 2 . These newly formed ZrO 2 particles filled residual porosity within the matrix and nucleated around pre-existing ZrO 2 grains, progressively coalescing into continuous Zr-rich barrier layer.Thereby preventing molten steel from further penetrating into the matrix. The corrosion depth of the composite with 5 wt% AlN content in molten steel at 1600 °C after 2 h was only 69 μm. Meanwhile, it showed a thermal conductivity of 25 W m −1 K −1 and a coefficient of thermal expansion of 3.7 × 10 -6 K −1 , demonstrating excellent thermal shock resistance. The composites are expected to be used to manufacture side sealing plates for the novel continuous casting of thin strip.

In this work, a nanoreactor combining layers of facile traditional two-dimensional (2D) material, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN, which often called the white graphene) with Pt/Al2O3 catalyst was designed to exhibit higher stability, activity, and selectivity in automobile exhaust treatment. Characterization revealed that h-BN does coat on the surface of platinum and forms a distinct Pt@h-BN/Al2O3 core–shell nanostructure. This as-prepared catalyst possesses good thermal stability and selectivity, because of the excellent high-temperature tolerance and the multidefected structure of the h-BN shell; that is, small molecules such as CO and O2 can easily intercalate into the nanoreactor, while large molecules such as propylene are blocked out. Meanwhile, the intercalated reactants can achieve the conversion of CO to CO2 faster (ΔT100 = 20 °C) with the confinement effect. The study indicates that constructing a nanoscale confined environment with two-dimensional (2D) coating can enhance the performance of the catalyst in multiple aspects and simultaneously provide a good example for designing nanostructured catalysts with multifaceted improvement.

Electrochemical CO 2 reduction (CO 2 RR) to ethanol offers a sustainable route for carbon utilization and energy storage, yet achieving high ethanol selectivity under limited CO 2 availability remains a significant challenge. The central issue is the lack of quantitative understanding of how the interfacial * CO and * H intermediates jointly govern product selectivity. Here, we establish an interfacial coverage regulation strategy by embedding Cu nanoparticles into an imine-functionalized covalent organic framework (Cu/Im-COF). The imine-rich interface enriches CO 2 adsorption while modulating proton transfer, enabling a balanced surface coverage of * CO and * H, identified as the key selectivity descriptor ( θ *CO/*H ) for ethanol formation. Operando Raman spectroscopy, density functional theory calculations, confirms that an optimized θ *CO/*H stabilizes the * HCCHOH intermediate and lowers its formation barrier. Quantitative integration of Raman features allows direct determination of θ *CO/*H , revealing a volcano-type dependence of ethanol selectivity on this descriptor. A maximum ethanol Faradaic efficiency of 56% is achieved at log( θ *CO/*H ) ≈ 3.0, a current density of 700 mA cm − 2 , and a 15% CO 2 feed. This work establishes θ *CO/*H as a quantitative bridge between intermediate coverage and reaction kinetics, providing a mechanistic framework for rational design of CO 2 RR catalysts with high ethanol selectivity under CO 2 -constrained conditions.
