In this study, we prepared a micron zero-valent iron/ N -doped graphene-like biochar (mZVI/NGB) composite using a mechanochemical method for tetracycline (TC) degradation through O 2 activation. The mZVI and NGB components formed a strong coupling catalytic system, with mZVI acting as an electron pool and NGB as a catalyst for H 2 O 2 generation. Under circumneutral pH (5.0–6.8), the mZVI/NGB composite exhibited exceptional TC removal efficiency, reaching nearly 100 % under optimal conditions. It also showed good tolerance to co-existing anions, such as Cl - , SO 4 2- , and humic acid. Further studies found that the TC degradation mechanism was mainly ascribed to the non-radical pathway ( 1 O 2 and electron transfer), and the Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ redox cycle on the composite's surface also played a crucial role in maintaining catalytic activity. This research contributes to the development of advanced materials for sustainable and effective water treatment, addressing pharmaceutical pollutant contamination in water sources.

An effective method capable of simultaneously providing antibacterial activity, blood glucose regulation, and angiogenesis promotion for healing bacteria-infected diabetic wounds is not reported to date, but urgently required. In this study, a hydrogel composite ( γ -PGA/PDA/GOx/WO x (PPGW)), endowed with these desired attributes is fabricated by incorporating polydopamine (PDA), glucose oxidase (GOx), and tungsten oxide (WO x ) nanowires into the poly( γ -glutamic acid) ( γ -PGA) framework. The exceptional photothermal conversion properties of PDA facilitated notable antibacterial effects on bacteria-infected diabetic wounds; GOx regulated high blood glucose by consuming glucose and generating hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ); while WO x nanowires displayed remarkable photocatalytic abilities, converting H 2 O 2 into oxygen (O 2 ) when exposed to 808-nm near-infrared radiation. Density functional theory calculations and experiments are conducted to confirm the mechanism of WO x -mediated photocatalytic degradation of H 2 O 2 to produce O 2 . These transformations aided in alleviating the hypoxic conditions in wounds associated with diabetes, expediting angiogenesis, and fostering cell crawling and proliferation. Consequently, the multifunctional hydrogel dressing PPGW, featuring photothermal, antibacterial, and enzyme-catalyzed activity reduces hyperglycemia at the wound site. Moreover, photocatalytic O 2 production represents a promising strategy for addressing chronic bacteria-infected diabetic wounds.

It is still challenging to design stimuli-responsive smart hydrogel dressing to promote bacteria-infected diabetic wound healing from the whole healing stage by intelligently responding to external stimuli or wound microenvironment. In addition, nitric oxide (NO) and oxygen (O 2 ) have been shown to accelerate diabetic wound healing by promoting angiogenesis and alleviating hypoxia. A series of NIR/glucose stimuli-responsive multifunctional smart hydrogels with NO/O 2 dual gas-releasing properties was designed based on N-carboxyethyl chitosan-grafted-phenylboronic acid (CECP), oxidized dextran (OD), ε-polylysine (EPL)-coated manganese dioxide (EMn), and β-cyclodextrin-reduced graphene oxide/N, N’-di-sec-butyl-N, N’-dinitroso-1,4-phenylenediamine (rGB) via dual dynamic crosslinking to promote bacteria-infected diabetic wound healing. The added rGB and EMn as photothermal agents rapidly kill bacteria through photothermal therapy. Meanwhile, rGB endows CECP/OD/EMn/rGB hydrogels to release NO under NIR stimulation to promote angiogenesis. Nanozyme EMn with catalase (CAT)/superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity can scavenge ROS and release O 2 to alleviate hypoxia and oxidative stress. The phenylboronic acid in CECP forming phenylboronate ester structure endows hydrogel with glucose-controlled release of doxycycline. NIR/glucose stimuli-responsive CECP/OD/EMn/rGB hydrogels with NO/O 2 dual gas-releasing property in a full-thickness skin wound-infected diabetic model reduced the inflammation, promoted wound contraction, collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and alleviated wound hypoxia, providing new ideas for treating bacteria-infected diabetic wounds.

Hypoxia can aggravate tumor occurrence, development, invasion, and metastasis, and greatly inhibit the photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect. Herein, carbon nitride (CNs)-based DNA and photosensitizer co-delivery systems (BPSCNs) with oxygen-producing functions are developed to address this problem. Selenide glucose (Seglu) is used as the dopant to prepare red/NIR-active CNs (SegluCNs). The tumor-targeting unit Bio-PEG 2000 is utilized to construct BPSCNs nanoparticles through esterification reactions. Furthermore, DNA hydrophobization is realized via mixing P53 gene with a positively charged mitochondrial-targeted near-infrared (NIR) emitting photosensitizer (MTTPY), which is encapsulated in non-cationic BPSCNs for synergistic delivery. Ester bonds in BPSCNs@MTTPY-P53 complexes can be disrupted by lipase in the liver to facilitate P53 release, upregulated P53 expression, and promoted HIF-1α degradation in mitochondria. In addition, the oxygen produced by the complexes improved the hypoxic microenvironment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), synergistically downregulated HIF-1α expression in mitochondria, promoted mitochondrial-derived ferroptosis and enhanced the PDT effect of the MTTPY unit. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments indicated that the transfected P53-DNA, produced O 2 and ROS by these complexes synergistically led to mitochondrial-derived ferroptosis in hepatoma cells through the HIF-1α/SLC7A11 pathway, and completely avoiding PDT resistance caused by hypoxia, exerting a significant therapeutic role in HCC treatment.

A hybrid Cu2O/TiO2 composite loaded on a Cu mesh (Cu2O/TiO2@Cu mesh) was developed via a supercritical solvothermal route. A uniformly distributed Cu2O/TiO2 p–n hetero-junction was stably coated on a Cu mesh, benefiting the visible-light harvesting. In comparison to electrochemistry and visible-light photocatalysis, the photoelectrochemistry process on the photoanode of the Cu2O/TiO2@Cu mesh presented improved bacterial inactivation activity for Acinetobacter baumannii. By means of the main active species of ˙O2− radicals, the photoelectrocatalytic process on the Cu2O/TiO2@Cu mesh also realized complete leakage of K+ ions, much stronger mineralization of the cell membrane and more efficient elimination of the self-recovery function, finally leading to cell death. In comparison, the electrochemistry process only led to the leakage of K+ ions without inactivation of bacteria, and the visible-light photocatalysis process induced partial leakage of K+ ions and cell mineralization after the death of most bacteria.

Peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been proven to be an effective method for the removal of tetracycline in water. In this study, the Co 3 O 4 /molecular sieve catalyst synthesized by the incipient wetness impregnation method was used for PMS activation. The effect of specific surface area on the catalytic performance of Co 3 O 4 /molecular sieve catalyst was investigated and analyzed in detail by characterization techniques. In the Tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) degradation experiment, the Co 3 O 4 /13X catalyst exhibited the highest specific surface area (490.584 m 2 /g) and provide abundant active sites, enabling 98.0% TCH degradation within 30 min under optimal conditions (1.5 g catalyst, 0.3 mM PMS, pH 8.0, 25℃), with a reaction rate constant (k obs ) of 0.0977 min -1 . In addition, the degradation mechanism of TCH was explored using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and quenching experiments. It was confirmed that free radicals (SO 4 •− , •OH, O 2 •− ) and non-free radical species ( 1 O 2 ) generated during the reaction play a crucial role in the degradation process of TCH. In summary, the Co 3 O 4 /13X catalyst, when activating PMS, exhibits a remarkable synergistic effect on the degradation of TCH, and shows good repeatability and environmental adaptability. This study provides valuable insights into the design and optimization of catalysts for degrading antibiotic pollutants in water treatment processes. Graphical

Considering advanced oxidation techniques offer new opportunities for microbial degradation and inactivation, in this study, Z-type heterojunctions of Ba 1.4 Sr 3.6 NdNb 7 Ti 3 O 30 -N 2 /g-C 3 N 4 (BN 2 /CN) were successfully prepared using a solid-phase method and explored for their potential applications in tribocatalytic bactericidal inhibition. These results demonstrate that BN 2 /CN exhibits excellent inhibitory and inactivating effects on E. coli under tribocatalytic conditions. The UV–visible spectrum showed a gradual decrease in the survival rate of E. coli with the increase of tribocatalysis time, reaching an inactivation effect of 91% after 1 h, while fluorescence staining also confirmed that E. coli were essentially eliminated, with hardly any surviving bacteria observed under a laser confocal microscope . Hence, this study presents a novel catalytic approach for sterilization. Moreover, inhibition experiments demonstrated that the BN 2 /CN catalyst did not inhibit the growth of E. coli, tribocatalysis played a crucial role in the disinfection and sterilization processes . The inactivation of bacteria by BN 2 /CN catalyst was still above 90% after multiple cycles of sterilization experiments. Finally, we demonstrated that the production of •OH and •O 2 - during tribocatalysis is key to the inactivation of E. coli, thus achieving the desired effect of tribocatalytic sterilization.

Diabetic wounds are marked by persistent infection, hypoxia, excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), and impaired angiogenesis, which present significant challenges for clinical management. In this study, a pH/ROS dual-responsive multifunctional hydrogel (QOF-EGCG/Hb@PDA) was constructed by grafting 3-carboxyl-4-ffuorophenylboronic acid (FPBA) onto Quaternary ammonium chitosan (QCS) to form Schiff base bonds with Oxidized gellan gum (OGG) (pH response), and by reacting FPBA with Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) to form borate bonds (ROS response). Hb@PDA nanoparticles were then loaded into the hydrogel. Under acidic conditions, the cleavage of Schiff base bonds triggers the release of Hb@PDA, providing sustained oxygen delivery to alleviate hypoxia. Additionally, in ROS-rich environments, the cleavage of borate ester bonds promotes EGCG release, exerting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. QOF-EGCG/Hb@PDA displays excellent self-healing capacity and tissue adhesion, as well as remarkable photothermal activity. Furthermore, it demonstrates excellent antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, pro-angiogenic, and hemostatic properties. In vivo studies confirmed that this hydrogel markedly accelerated diabetic wound healing by enhancing epithelial regeneration, promoting collagen deposition, regulating inflammatory responses, and facilitating angiogenesis. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the hydrogel promotes angiogenesis by activating the HIF-1α/VEGF signaling pathway, which plays a pivotal role in vascular formation and tissue regeneration, thereby accelerating the healing of diabetic wounds. Collectively, QOF-EGCG/Hb@PDA provides a promising and comprehensive strategy with great potential for application in diabetic wound treatment.

Silver (Ag) plays an important role as a cathode catalyst in lithium-oxygen batteries (Li-O 2 batteries). However, the catalytic mechanism of Ag remains unclear. Despite efforts dedicated to studying interfacial reactions, observing efficient reactions and ion transport at the Ag-Li solid–solid interface continues to be a challenge. Here, we used Ag nanowires (Ag NWs) as working electrodes, creating a lithiation-oxidation microenvironment within spherical aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy (ETEM) through a two-step method to investigate the reaction mechanisms at the Ag-Li interface. The lithiation process generates Ag 3 Li 10 , while the oxidation process precipitates Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs). The alternating reactions of Ag-Ag 3 Li 10 -Ag form a cycle process, elucidating the transport pathway of Li + at the Ag-Li solid–solid interface during discharge process and demonstrating a typical lithium pump effect. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations also confirm these results. This work provides novel insights into the interfacial mechanisms of Ag catalysts in Li-O 2 batteries, offering valuable guidance for strategies to monitor and control complex, multi-step interfacial reactions.

The lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs) have gained extensive interest in the past decade, but are plagued by slow reaction kinetics and induced large-voltage hysteresis. Therefore, developing extremely capable catalysts to enhance catalytic behavior and mitigate oxidation-reduction overpotential of LOBs is of huge challenge and significance. Attributable to their economically friendly and great activity, transition metal oxides (TMO) have incurred lots of attention as alternative electrocatalysts to replace the currently used noble metal-based catalysts. In this work, we fabricate a highly efficient TMO (the MIL-88A heated at 500 °C under protective flow, M8-Fe 3 O 4 @NC-500) electrocatalyst as advanced cathodes, which attributed to its unique structure, numerous dendritic-shaped carbon layer was anchored inplane into the micrometer-long spindle-shaped prisms with evenly distribution and contains abundant Fe–N/Graphitic N active sites. Therefore, the LOBs (based on M8-Fe 3 O 4 @NC-500/AB cathode) deliver superior electrochemical performance with large specific capacities of 14866.1 mAh g −1 , low overpotentials (1.31 V), and steady cycling stability (553 cycles, limited 500 mAh g −1 , under 0.05 mA cm −2 ). Our work provides a novel vision to rationally design and synthesize a powerful TMO electrocatalyst (with the 2D carbon nanosheet coating) for the LOBs cathode.

The high intracellular glutathione (GSH) level, naturally hypoxic conditions within the tumor microenvironment, and limited reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation pose significant obstacles to the effectiveness of sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Overcoming these barriers through depletion of GSH and relieving hypoxia offer a promising strategy to enhance SDT effectiveness. Herein, we developed a dendritic tetra-sulfide-bridged mesoporous silica (DTSMO) that encapsulated both chlorin e6 (Ce6) and cerium via channel-limited in situ coordination and is subsequently cloaked with the macrophage cell membrane (MCM) to facilitate efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based therapy via multispecies enzymatic activities. First, this nanosystem exhibited Ce(IV) ions to mimic catalase (CAT)-like activity, converting H2O2 into O2, thereby effectively alleviating tumor hypoxia. Meanwhile, the nanosystem possessed Ce (III)-based peroxidase (POD)-like activity, enabling the conversion of H2O2 into hydroxyl radicals (•OH) while simultaneously depleting GSH. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that GSH depletion exerted a powerful supplementary effect on CDT and SDT, achieving a tumor inhibition rate of up to 96%, without affecting normal tissues during treatment.

The mass transfer of O 2 /O 3 was improved at three-phase interface of CB‑PTFE. • CB enabled the synergistic reduction of O 2 /O 3 for •OH generation. • O 3 reduction and catalytic ozonation accelerated phenol mineralization. • Phenol removal and mineralization were 100% and 85% in ten-cycles. The electro-peroxone (E-peroxone) process suffered from the limited mass transfer and insufficient utilization of gaseous O 2 /O 3 mixture. Herein, a hydrophobic carbon black‑polytetrafluoroethylene (CB‑PTFE) electrode was fabricated to construct a gas‑liquid‑solid three-phase interface for improving phenol mineralization. The CB-PTFE electrode exhibited a high contact angle of 143.3°, which enhanced the mass transfer of O 2 /O 3 effectively. Compared with the hydrophilic carbon black‑polyvinylidene fluoride (CB‑PVDF) cathode (72.9°, 51.8%), CB‑PTFE achieved 86.0% TOC removal (0.016 min −1 ) at 120 min in E-peroxone, significantly outperforming sole ozonation (O 3 , 40.0%, 0.004 min −1 ) and electro‑oxidation (EO, 7.2%, 0.004 min −1 ). The greater TOC removal in CB-PTFE/O 3 (66.3%, 0.0095 min −1 ) than that in O 3 indicated that CB-PTFE had catalytic ozonation activity. Electrochemical analysis by a rotating ring‑disk electrode (RRDE) revealed that CB enabled simultaneous 2‑electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) to H 2 O 2 (n = 2.23) and efficient 1‑electron O 3 electro‑reduction for increased cathodic current and hydroxyl radical (•OH) generation under the O 2 /O 3 atmosphere. The highest •OH yield (280.5 μmol/L) was obtained using hydrophobic CB-PTFE in E‑peroxone, and theoptimal conditions were the applied current of 20 mA, in‑gas O 3 concentration of 50 mg/L and neutral pH of 7.0. Furthermore, the hydrophobic CB‑PTFE electrode maintained nearly 86.0% TOC removal over ten-cycles with stable structural integrity, despite a slight decrease of hydrophobicity. The reduction of O 2 /O 3 , catalytic ozonation and peroxone reaction were coupled in E-peroxone synergistically, which offered a promising strategy for efficient pollutant abatement.
