In this paper, the encapsulated insulated molecular wire (EIMW) and 2′,7′-bis(hexyloxy)spiro[cyclopenta[2,1-b:3,4-b′]dithiophene-4,9′-fluorene] (SPDF) were specifically designed as efficient anti-aggregation π-bridges for two novel D–A–π–A metal-free sensitizers (IBT1 and IBT2). Compared with the reference dye IBT3 with 3,3′-dihexyl-2,2′-bithiophene (DHBT) as an anti-aggregation π-bridge, both the dyes IBT1 with EIMW and IBT2 with SPDF as π-bridges can suppress intermolecular aggregation more efficiently. The π-bridge of SPDF shows the strongest anti-aggregation ability due to the rigid ‘T’ configuration among these dyes. Meanwhile, the π-bridge of EIMW shows better anti-aggregation ability than DHBT because of the larger steric hindrance of the former. Finally, when the dyes IBT1 and IBT2 are co-sensitized with IBT3, respectively, the new devices exhibit high efficiencies of 7.85% and 7.64%, respectively, which are comparable to that of N719 (7.85%). The results demonstrate that the dyes with EIMW and SPDF as anti-aggregation π-bridges are promising candidates for efficient DSSCs and dye aggregation can be effectively inhibited by structural engineering of the π-spacer.

Dual functional electrochromic (EC)/electrofluorochromic (EFC) materials play a pivotal role in wearable and smart electronic equipments. Developing new materials with high performance of EC/EFC properties is still a big challenge. Here a new D-A structure polymer PPDOTTPD based on thieno(3,4-c)pyrrole-(4,6)dione ( TPD ) was synthesized by Stille coupling, and the EC/EFC properties were investigated for the first time. PPDOTTPD film exhibits reversible color changes from purple neutral state to transparent colored state in the process of reversible redox. Photophysical and electrochemical studies revealed that the polymer has outstanding EC properties, including high optical contrast (52%), fast response time (0.5 s/0.7 s), high coloring efficiency (427.1 cm 2 C −1 ) and good stability. What's more, PPDOTTPD exhibited EFC phenomenon. PPDOTTPD film showed an intense red near-infrared fluorescence with a peak of 672 nm, which gradually doped with the increase of applied potential with a maximum contrast ratio of 12.9. The EC/EFC dual-functional device based on PPDOTTPD was also successfully fabricated, which exhibited high optical and fluorescence contrast. The fine dual-functional performance indicates TPD can be further explored as potential acceptors for synthesizing high performance D-A molecules for intelligent optical devices.

An unusual metal-organic framework, {H[Ag(I)L][Mo(VI)4O13]}n (1) (L=(4-((1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl)phenyl)methanol)), has been obtained under ionothermal conditions. According to the single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, 1 is a new 3-D framework based on β-[Mo8O26]4− type polymolybdate anions with two kinds of channels (A and B) along the b-axes and c-axes in the framework. The neighboring inorganic Mo8-Ag chains are linked by the organic ligands through the Ag centers resulting in 2-D layers. These adjacent 2-D layers extend into a 3-D framework through Ag1 nodes and β-[Mo8O26]4− anions, respectively, resulting in a topological symbol (64 · 82)2(64 · 82). In addition, the gas adsorption, proton conduction and luminescent properties of 1 are also discussed in detail. Moreover, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements show a conductivity (1.9 × 10−4 S cm−1 at 65 °C and 95% relative humidity (RH)), with an activation energy of 0.41 eV for 1. The mechanism of proton conduction for 1 is proved to be the vehicular mechanism.

The complexity of in situ volatile organic compounds (VOCs) detection demands high selectivity and anti-interference capability of electronic noses (E-noses). Multivariant virtual sensor array (VSA) is a new generation of E-noses under research to overcome the insufficient VOCs selectivity limitation of existing electronic noses and alleviate the issue of sensor drifts. In this paper, a frequency-amplitude dual-parameter modulation strategy is presented on a wireless electrodeless quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (WE-QCM-D) to realize the recognition and analysis of VOC mixtures and complex real-world analytes with a single multivariant VSA E-nose, by probing the gas dynamic sorption in a sensitive film at various scales of oscillating shear displacements and obtaining multiple partially independent responses to VOCs. Ten VOC analytes from alcohols, esters, and aromatic hydrocarbons were classified with accuracies of above 95% for both interclass and intraclass discriminations. Additionally, a discriminating accuracy of 95% has been achieved on VOC mixtures, and their component concentrations were predicted with coefficients of determination above 0.9. For practical testing, the system was exposed to the headspace VOCs of banana, pineapple, and mango under different concentrations. It recognized different fruits and identified the ripen state of bananas based on the detection of their volatiles. The dual-parameter modulated WE-QCM-D paves a promising multivariant way to realize online real-time VOCs monitoring with high performance on selectivity and quantitative analysis.

D-leucine-modified Zr-V coating suppresses localized corrosion of ADC12. • D-leucine seals defects and limits H 2 O/Cl – transport in the coating. • SECM reveals reduced oxygen-consuming local corrosion reactions. • DFT confirmed strong D-leucine adsorption and Zr–O interfacial anchoring on ZrO 2 . ADC12 aluminum (Al) alloy is prone to localized corrosion because its heterogeneous surface microstructure and unstable native oxide film induce spatially non-uniform electrochemical reactions at the alloy/electrolyte interface. Herein, a green D-leucine-assisted zirconium-vanadium conversion coating was fabricated on ADC12 Al alloy via a simple chemical immersion process to regulate coating formation and interfacial electrochemical corrosion behavior. D-leucine acted as a bio-derived interfacial modifier to regulate the deposition, defect evolution and interfacial bonding of Zr-containing oxide/hydroxide species. Surface analyses confirmed the incorporation of D-leucine into the conversion layer and its chemical interaction with Zr-containing species mainly through carboxyl groups, thereby promoting organic-inorganic coupling, defect sealing and coating compactification. The optimized ZRCC+0.5D-AA coating exhibited a low corrosion current density of 4.71×10 −8 A·cm −2 and a corrosion rate of 5.17×10 −4 mm·y −1 , approximately 195 times lower than those of the untreated ADC12 substrate. Scanning electrochemical microscopy further confirmed that D-leucine modification effectively suppressed localized oxygen-consuming corrosion reactions and reduced electrochemical heterogeneity on the coated surface. No visible corrosion was observed after 96 h neutral salt spray exposure. DFT calculations revealed strong dissociative adsorption of D-leucine on monoclinic ZrO 2 (−111), with the vertical bidentate configuration showing a dissociative adsorption reaction energy of −9.88 eV and pronounced interfacial charge redistribution. These results demonstrate that D-leucine-assisted interfacial modification simultaneously regulates coating defects, interfacial anchoring, and local electrochemical activity, providing an effective chromium-free surface finishing and protection strategy for Al alloys.

D-leucine coordinates with Zr-containing species to form a compact organic–inorganic hybrid interface, sealing defect-assisted pathways and reducing H 2 O/Cl⁻ ingress. This limits mass transfer, charge-transfer reactions, cathodic oxygen reduction, and anodic Al dissolution at the coating/substrate interface. DFT and SECM results reveal strong interfacial anchoring and reduced oxygen-consuming local corrosion activity, leading to optimal long-term protection for the coating containing 0.5 g/L D-leucine.

Lithium oxalate (Li 2 C 2 O 4 ) is regarded as a promising prelithiation agent due to its high specific capacity and cost-effectiveness. However, its intrinsically poor electronic conductivity and sluggish reaction kinetics result in a high lithium liberation potential (typically above 4.5 V), which challenges the stability of electrolytes and electrode materials, and deteriorates overall battery performance. In this work, the intermetallic NiBi 3 catalyst with metallic conductivity and strong interfacial interaction is introduced to promote the low-potential decomposition of Li 2 C 2 O 4 . Benefiting from the synergistic electronic effect between Ni and Bi, the incorporation of Bi effectively modulates the electronic structure of Ni sites via d – p orbital hybridization, thereby enhancing the adsorption and activation of Li 2 C 2 O 4 , weakening the Li 2 C 2 O 4 framework and facilitating its decomposition. When coupled with ultrahigh-Ni NCM96 cathodes, the NiBi 3 -Li 2 C 2 O 4 prelithiation system provides higher charge capacity (273.3 mAh g −1 ) and improved reaction kinetics compared to the pristine counterpart. Furthermore, full-cell configurations based on SiO x anodes exhibit enhanced lithium compensation capability, maintaining a capacity retention of 52.9% after 150 cycles at 0.5C. These results demonstrate that intermetallic NiBi 3 is an efficient catalyst for activating Li 2 C 2 O 4 and provides a viable strategy for developing high-performance cathode prelithiation systems.

Vitamin D 3 (VD 3 ) is an essential fat-soluble micronutrient that regulates diverse biological processes. However, its long-term impact on avian intestinal development remains largely unknown. In this study, we detected that the VD 3 content was significantly lower in late-cycle production eggs (68 weeks old, termed “LP eggs”) compared to the peak-cycle production eggs (44 weeks old, named “PP eggs”) ( P < 0.05). Notably, the intestine index was reduced ( P < 0.05), and the intestinal expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins (Occludin and ZO-1) was decreased for chicks hatched from LP eggs versus those from PP eggs ( P < 0.05). Thus serial dosages of VD 3 (2.5, 5.0, or 7.5 μg VD 3 /egg) were injected into the amniotic cavity of embryos hatched from LP eggs on embryonic day 17 (E17). This intervention effectively improved hatchability, promoted intestinal development that persisted through 14-days post-hatch, and showed immuno-modulatory effects manifesting as Interleukin-6 ( IL-6 ) downregulation and Interleukin-10 ( IL-10 ) upregulation. Further in vivo and in vitro analysis revealed that VD 3 improved intestinal development by activating TJ-related genes ( P < 0.05), with vitamin D receptor (VDR) mediating these effects. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays confirmed that 1,25-(OH) 2 D 3 strengthened VDR binding to promoter regions of Occludin and ZO-1 but decreased the interaction degree of VDR with the IL-6 promoter ( P < 0.05). These findings establish that in ovo injection of VD 3 is an efficacious perinatal intervention strategy, which significantly mitigates developmental constraints in late-phase poultry production through VDR-dependent intestinal barrier potentiation and immuno-homeostasis modulation.

Electrocatalytic alkynol semihydrogenation (EASH) represents a promising alternative to conventional alkenol production. However, it is plagued by severe overhydrogenation and a competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this work, we synthesize a Pd3BiCx intermetallic carbide metallene (Pd3BiCx ene) as a high-performance electrocatalyst for the selective semihydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY). At −0.3 V vs RHE, the catalyst system achieves 94.1% conversion, 95.3% selectivity, and 90.4% Faradaic efficiency while maintaining long-term stability over 70 h. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that carbon doping induces synergistic p-d-p orbital hybridization among Pd, Bi, and C. This electronic structure modulation optimizes the adsorption energy of MBY while facilitating the desorption of 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBE). Furthermore, carbon doping kinetically hinders overhydrogenation by eliminating subsurface hydrogen species and increasing the energy barrier for the overhydrogenation step. Concurrently, this p-d-p hybridization stabilizes surface adsorbed hydrogen (H*ads), thereby promoting the hydrogenation pathway and suppressing the HER. This work establishes an effective catalyst design strategy for fabricating p-d-p orbital-hybridized intermetallic catalysts, offering an innovative approach for high-efficiency EASH.

The efficiency of photocatalytic O 2 activation for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation is limited by kinetically sluggish electron transfer. Overcoming this limitation, we engineered a heterointerface (forming BaTiO 3 /Bi 12 O 17 Cl 2 , BTO/BOC) to facilitate d-p orbital hybridization by strain engineering, thereby creating a surface electron-rich region. Results demonstrate that strain engineering amplifies the d-p orbital hybridization effect, significantly enhancing O 2 adsorption strength. Furthermore, strain application enriches the electronic states near the Fermi level, enabling more electrons to migrate to the material surface to participate in O 2 activation. Consequently, the optimized BTO/BOC-3 exhibits exceptional ROS productivity, with 1.584 and 432.96 µmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹ yields for hydroxyl radical (·OH) and superoxide radical (·O 2 ⁻), respectively. This enables superior sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation performance, representing 2.88-fold and 11.08-fold enhancements over photocatalysis and piezo-catalysis, while toxicity simulations confirm reduced ecotoxicity of the degradation intermediates. This work pioneers a novel pathway for efficient piezo-photocatalytic ROS generation, enabling high-performance environment remediation.

Engineered HA/D-Mannose nanoparticles with temporal dual-targeting for colitis stages. • Achieved colon-specific drug release via a pH-responsive shell overcoming oral barriers. • Simultaneously targets inflammatory macrophages and damaged intestinal epithelium. • A single nanoparticle enables triple therapy: antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and barrier repair. • Achieved >80% mucosal healing in ulcerative colitis within 7 days. Ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by complex spatiotemporal heterogeneity, which poses significant challenges for effective treatment. Herein, we constructed DS-HDLTQs, a core-shell nanodelivery platform with dynamic dual-targeting capabilities. This platform utilizes hyaluronic acid (HA) and D-mannose (D-Man) to target acute inflammation and promote repair. It also features a dopamine-alginate (DA-SA, or DS) shell to achieve pH-responsive release specifically at colonic lesions. In animal experiments, DS-HDLTQs achieved 83.3% mucosal healing in just 7 days, significantly outperforming single-targeting systems. The DA-SA protective layer ensures pH-responsive release in the colon with an efficiency of up to 92.7%. Such therapeutic enhancement is driven by three synergistic mechanisms: molecular functional synergy (restoring antioxidants), spatiotemporal targeting-pathological process synergy (accelerating barrier reconstruction), and immune-epithelial repair synergy (promoting macrophage polarization and epithelial regeneration). DS-HDLTQs demonstrated a 12.7-fold increase in drug concentration at the lesion site. This design resolves the core contradiction between dynamic pathology and oral delivery efficiency, providing a new paradigm for UC treatment and potential applications in other inflammatory diseases.

Background The N-terminal domain of gasdermin D (GSDMD) is a known suppressor of prostate cancer (PCa), primarily recognized for its tumoricidal pyroptotic function. However, research on the full-length GSDMD protein and its relationship with PCa remains unexplored. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the potential non-pyroptotic mechanism of action of GSDMD in preventing PCa immune evasion. Methods The study used GSDMD deletion models to assess its impact on tumor progression and immune cell profiles. Molecular techniques, including protein interaction analysis, were employed to identify the binding partner of GSDMD and the subsequent signaling pathways. Correlative analysis was performed between GSDMD expression and immune markers in human PCa samples. Results GSDMD deletion increased tumor progression and reduced survival, cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activation/infiltration and tumor cell susceptibility to T-cell death, promoting an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). GSDMD-bound laminin subunit gamma-2 (LAMC2), thus inducing its ubiquitin-mediated degradation. Consequently, GSDMD deficiency stabilized LAMC2, driving M2 macrophage polarization and CXC motif chemokine ligand 5 (CXCL5) secretion. CXCL5 interacted with CXCR2 to activate the AKT/NF-κB axis, increasing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and suppressing CTL activity. GSDMD expression in human PCa positively correlated with CD8 + T-cell infiltration and negatively with M2-phenotype tumor-associated macrophages. Conclusion This study reveals a novel non-pyroptotic pathway through which GSDMD inhibits PCa immune evasion by targeting LAMC2 for degradation, thereby preventing the establishment of an immunosuppressive TME. The findings suggest that activating GSDMD represents a promising therapeutic strategy to reprogram the TME from immunosuppressive (“cold”) to immunoreactive (“hot”), potentially enhancing the efficacy of immunotherapy in advanced PCa.
