Na superionic conductor ( NASICON)-structured Na 4 MnCr(PO 4 ) 3 (NMCP) possessing unique three-electron transfer process renders admirable energy density for sodium ion batteries (SIBs). However, the current issues like its sluggish Na + diffusion kinetics, deficient intrinsic conductivity, and unsatisfactory structural stability, hinder its practical application. Herein, a selective replacement of O elements in PO 4 group by Cl anions in the NMCP system was developed to significantly enhance its electrochemical performance. The results affirm that the enhanced performance of Cl doped samples can be attributed to the enlargement of cell size, the creation of Na vacancies and the weakness of Na2 O bond after Cl doping. The as-prepared Na 3.85 □ 0.15 MnCr(PO 3.95 Cl 0.05 ) 3 /C (NMCPC − 15/C) cathode delivers a high capacity (128.0 mAh/g at 50 mA g −1 ) and excellent rate performance (73.0 mAh/g at 1000 mA g −1 ) in contrast to NMCP/C that merely provides 105.2 mAh/g at 50 mA g −1 and reduces to 47.4 mAh/g at 1000 mA g −1 . Meanwhile, NMCPC − 15/C shows a capacity retention of 60.7 % at 1000 mA g −1 after 500 cycles, while only 37.1 % for NMCP/C in the same test conditions. Moreover, the satisfactory performance and energy density of NMCPC − 15/C||hard carbon (HC) full cell confirm the potential practicality of NMCPC − 15. Therefore, chloride ions doping into NMCP has practical application prospects in the preparation of high-performance cathode materials and our work also offers new inspiration to apply anion doping strategies in promoting the performance of the other NASICON-structured cathodes for SIBs.

The gut microbiota plays key roles in host health by shaping the host immune responses through their metabolites, like indole derivatives from tryptophan. However, the direct role of these indole derivatives in macrophage fate decision and the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Here, we found that bacterial indole-3-propionic acid (IPA) downregulates interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) production in M1 macrophages through inhibition of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling. Mechanistically, IPA binds specifically with methionine adenosyl-transferase 2A (MAT2A) to promote S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) synthesis, which facilitates the DNA methylation of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 16 (USP16, a deubiquitinase), and in turn promotes Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) ubiquitination and NF-κB inhibition. Furthermore, IPA administration attenuates sepsis in mouse models induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS), showcasing its potential as a microbial-derived adjunct in alleviating inflammation. Collectively, our findings reveal a newly found microbial metabolite-immune system regulatory pathway mediated by IPA.

Through the utilization of smart materials and well-designed structures, functional surfaces have been developed to enable small-scale liquid/solid manipulation tasks, thereby facilitating crucial applications in the fields of microfluidics, soft robotics, and biomedical engineering . However, the design of functional systems with flexible, tunable, and multimodal liquid/solid manipulation capabilities remains a challenging endeavor. Here, inspired by asymmetric structural features in natural plants and metachrony in cross-scale biological systems, I report a magnetic-responsive functional surface that can achieve rich liquid operations under static magnetic fields , while also enabling the transportation of solids with multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs) under dynamic magnetic fields . The presence of curvature pillars on the surface, combined with their magnetic-driven tilt/gradient arrangement, imparts liquids with multi-directional spreading modes based on the asymmetry of Laplace pressure . I elucidate the mechanisms governing these liquid spreading modes and subsequently develop compelling liquid operations, such as adjustable anti-gravity climbing, spontaneous modal shifts in liquid transport, and liquid mixing. Furthermore, the dynamic metachronal motion of the magnetic pillars can be harnessed for solid object transportation. I illustrate the synchronous/asynchronous transport modes of the surface and propose a novel strategy for achieving 3-DOF solid transportation by coordinating the arrangement of objects and employing magnetic actuation strategies. This study presents a new design concept for application-oriented manipulation surfaces, which hold significant potential for extensive engineering applications .

Ionic liquids have been widely studied as effective reaction media for the conversion of glucose or cellulose to 5-hydroxymethhylfurfural (5-HMF). However, the recovery of 5-HMF from ionic liquids, typically carried out by extraction, has been encountered with very low extraction efficiency, which limited the reusability of the solvents. Through this work, based on the model biphasic system that consists of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl) as the ionic liquid phase and methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) as the extractant phase, the dominant force that suppresses the extraction efficiency of 5-HMF was identified as being the strong hydrogen bonding between 5-HMF and [BMIM]Cl. Solvent mediation with functional promoters have been established as a new strategy to shift this force, resulting in improved extraction efficiency of 5-HMF from the ionic liquid. For example, with ethanol as a promoter, the distribution coefficient of 5-HMF was about 10 times higher than that without a promoter.

Quaternary ammonium perrhenates were applied as catalyst to promote the hydrolysis of cellulose in 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Amim]Cl). The quaternary ammonium perrhenates displayed good catalytic performance for cellulose hydrolysis. Water was also proven to be effective to promote cellulose hydrolysis. Accordingly, 97% of total reduced sugar (TRS) and 42% of glucose yields could be obtained under the condition of using 5 mol% of tetramethyl ammonium perrhenate as catalyst, 70 μL of water, ca. 0.6 mmol of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and 2.0 g of [Amim]Cl as solvent under microwave irradiation for 30 min at 150 °C (optimal conditions). The influence of quaternary ammonium cation on the efficiency of cellulose hydrolysis was examined based on different cation structures of perrhenates. The mechanism on perrhenate catalyzed cellulose hydrolysis is also discussed, whereas hydrogen bonding between ReO 4 anion and hydroxyl groups of cellulose is assumed to be the key step for depolymerization of cellulose.

The liquid-liquid equilibrium data and the specific heat capacities for the binary room temperature ionic solution {1-butanol + 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide} have been reported. The corresponding critical exponents β and α were obtained and found to be well coincided with the 3D-Ising criticality. The critical complete scaling theory was applied to successfully describe the asymmetric behavior of the diameter of the coexistence curve with the consideration of the heat capacity related term. The large values of the reduced critical density, the reduced critical temperature and the critical amplitude related to the heat capacity were deduced, which indicated a solvophobic criticality of the studied system.

A new type of magnetic core–shell structured MOF composite (Fe3O4/IRMOF-3) was successfully prepared by a facile mixed solvothermal method. Fe3O4 nanoparticles and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) are the magnetic core and promoter, respectively. Fe3O4 nanoparticles are encapsulated completely inside the MOF matrix. PVP not only functions as the stabilizer to make the Fe3O4 nanoparticles well dispersed but also provides the ability to adsorb IRMOF-3 precursors onto the surface of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The composite possesses high crystallinity, porosity characteristics, a rapid magnetic response and good stability. In addition, the catalytic performance of Fe3O4/IRMOF-3 is investigated via the Knoevenagel condensation reaction of benzaldehyde and ethyl cyanoacetate. The conversion of ethyl cyanoacetate reaches 98.3% after 4 hours. More importantly, the catalyst can be quickly separated by a magnet and reused many times.

Integrating an oxygen-sensitive probe (OSP) onto a three-dimensional (3D) microstructure substrate is a plausible technique to significantly improve the sensitivity of oxygen sensors. Despite the fact that polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrices are regarded as the ideal sensory support, there are still no reports on an OSP functionalized flexible PDMS-based micropillar array (PDMS-MPAs) film as an optical oxygen sensor with capabilities to efficiently improve the sensor's overall performance, e.g. sensitivity, detection limit and stability against photo-bleaching. Herein, we reported the covalent bonding of a functional copolymer of platinum porphyrin (PtTPP)/3-(trimethoxysily)propylmethacrylate (PtTPP/TPMA) as the OSP on the surface of hydroxyl-modified PDMS-MPAs through a “grafting reaction” between PtTPP/TPMA and PDMS-MPAs. The homogeneous dispersion and well-isolated arrangement of the PtTPP/TPMA OSP on the 3D PDMS-MPA surface can ensure that the grafted OSP efficiently quenches the oxygen molecules. Consequently, the 3D PtTPP/TPMA-PDMS-MPA sensor film gives rise to a high fluorescence quenching efficiency of about 95% at 1 atm O2 (I0/I100 = 23) and 96% in aqueous solution (I0/IO2satu = 16) with an excellent linear Stern–Volmer plot (ksv = 0.1 h Pa−1, R2 = 0.997 in gas atmosphere and ksv = 12.8 mmol−1 L, R2 = 0.999 in aqueous solution, respectively), excellent reversibility and an ultra-low detection limit (4.7 μmol L−1) when compared with state-of-the-art PDMS-based oxygen sensors. Apart from the competitive sensitivity, the highly durable, reusable superiorities of the 3D PtTPP/TPMA-PDMS-MPA film can further facilitate the exploration and realization of the presented strategy for future oxygen sensor applications, such as the characterization of nearly anoxic systems in harsh environments.

In this study, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane-functionalized graphene oxide (AS-GO) was synthesized by one-step refluxing of graphene oxide (GO) with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (AS). The properties of GO and AS-GO were characterized by scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Specific surface area and Zeta potential. Various factors, such as solution pH, initial Cr(VI) concentration, contact time, temperature and coexisting anions, were analyzed during the adsorption process. The results showed that the Cr(VI) adsorption onto AS-GO was highly pH dependent, and the maximum adsorption capacity reached up to 215.2 mg/g at 328 K. Experimental data, obtained from adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms studies, could be well fitted by Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo-second-order model. The XPS, FT-IR, and EDS analysis revealed that Cr(VI) removal might be attributed to the Cr(VI) adsorption on surface functional groups (protonated amine groups and Si OH groups) and the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). These results demonstrated that AS-GO could be a promising adsorbent for Cr (VI) removal from wastewater.

Two novel 3-hydroxyflavone derivatives were synthesized by a one-step simple condensation, cyclization and subsequent oxidation reaction catalyzed by pyrrolidine, which shows great convenience compared with the traditional method. The compounds can recognize cyanide anions at very low concentration with remarkable spectral shift and an obvious color change from yellow to colorless. The bonding mechanism analysis via NMR experiments and mass spectra indicates that cyanide anions induce the deprotonation of the compounds.

A kind of green tea extract, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) was introduced into Fe 2+ activated persulfate (Fe 2+ /PS) system to enhance the degradation efficiency of atrazine. The involvement of EGCG improved atrazine degradation significantly in the pH range of 2.0–7.0, which could be interpreted by the strong reducing and chelating ability of EGCG. EGCG showed a better performance than hydroxylamine and ascorbic acid in modified Fe 2+ /PS systems, as the presence of EGCG could not only accelerate the transformation of Fe 3+ to Fe 2+ , but prevent the formation of iron precipitation. Batch experiments were conducted and atrazine degradation depended upon the dosage of EGCG, persulfate, Fe 2+ , and other water quality parameters including initial pH, co-existing anions and natural organic matters. Radical quenching test and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis were also performed and results showed that two kinds of radicals (sulfate radicals and hydroxyl radical) were verified to exist and play a significant role on atrazine degradation in the Fe 2+ /EGCG/PS system. Moreover, possible intermediates of atrazine were identified by HPLC/MS/MS and degradation pathways of atrazine and EGCG were proposed. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding on the potential application of EGCG to enhance degradation of refractory organics in water.

Rice-like Gd(OH) 3 nanorods were successfully prepared through a facile and rapid microwave-hydrothermal synthesis method without using any surfactants or templates. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to characterize the samples. Results show that the nanorods have an average length of 400 nm and an average diameter of 50 nm. The effects of reaction parameters such as reaction temperature and time on the preparation were briefly investigated. It is found that the crucial factor for the formation of rice-like Gd(OH) 3 nanorods is reaction time. When the rice-like Gd(OH) 3 nanorods was codoped with Yb 3+ and Er 3+ , strong upconversion emissions could be observed under the excitation of 980-nm-laser, and the calculated CIE color coordinates falls within the yellow region, which may be potential candidate for optical materials.
