Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 , CN) is promising in boosting H 2 O 2 photosynthesis at present, but facing huge challenges due to the limitations of common CN (e.g. small specific surface area, low absorption coefficient, and fast recombination of photoinduced carriers). To overcome these drawbacks, herein, the novel type-II heterojunctions are successfully constructed from hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN, abbreviated as BN), melamine, and KCl with the one-pot calcination method. The molten salt effect of KCl and the hard template effect of BN optimize the interlayer spacing, porosity and structural uniformity of CN, thus optimizing the adsorption and photocatalytic properties. Moreover, the constructed heterostructure between BN and modified CN further favors the photoinduced charge transfer. Hence, the resulting composites afford exciting photocatalytic H 2 O 2 synthesis performance. Particularly, catalyzed by MCN/BN-2, the H 2 O 2 production rate is separately 1515.05 μmol g −1 h −1 and 3382.17 μmol g −1 h −1 irradiated by visible light and the simulated solar light, which are significantly higher than those over MCN, BN, and most of CN-based materials previously reported. The results of band potential analyses, relevant radical scavenging experiments, as well as electron paramagnetic resonance measurements verify that the photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production over MCN/BN-2 by using 10 vol% EtOH solution is predominantly through the two-step single-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) process. Also, the one-step two-electron ORR involves in H 2 O 2 formation. This work not only develops a novel broad-spectrum responsive metal-free photocatalyst, but also enriches the deep understanding of the roles played by molten salt engineering and heterostructure in photocatalysis.

Structural polymerization is a primary factor driving intrinsic property changes in calcium silicate (aluminate) hydrate (C–(A)–S–H). However, the mechanisms by which erosive media induce structural polymerization of C–(A)–S–H gel during the service life of cement-based materials remain unclear. This study investigates the effects of both alkaline and acidic sulfates on the composition and microstructural evolution of C–(A)–S–H through various physical and microstructural analyses. The findings indicate that dehydration condensation reactions of Si–OH groups, resulting from decalcification and carbonation processes, are the main contributors to the polymerization silicate tetrahedra. As the aluminum phase increases, the leaching of Al[IV] from the C–(A)–S–H gel after sulfate erosion becomes more pronounced, leading to a tendency for the original silicate–aluminate chain structure to undergo polymerization and reconstruction. Furthermore, aluminum can only promote the polymerization of silicate tetrahedra within a specific range. This study provides a theoretical foundation for regulating concrete microstructure and optimizing its durability.

Background/Objectives: Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy among women, and paclitaxel (PTX) is a first-line chemotherapeutic, but chemoresistance driven by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters limits its efficacy. Single-target ABC inhibitors fail due to toxicity and cooperative transporter activity, creating an urgent need for safe multi-target strategies. Membrane cholesterol-rich lipid rafts support ABC transporter function, making cholesterol a key chemoresistance target. This study explored a cholesterol-targeted approach for overcoming PTX resistance.Methods: A PTX-resistant breast cancer line (MCF-7/PTX) showing ABCB1/ABCC3 co-upregulation and enriched cholesterol rafts was established. The effects of Polyphyllin H (PPH), a steroidal saponin fromParis polyphylla, were compared with lovastatin, a biosynthetic cholesterol inhibitor. In vitro and in vivo assays investigated Polyphyllin H’s cholesterol binding and effects on transporters, PTX accumulation, and tumor growth.Results: PPH directly binds membrane cholesterol, disrupting lipid rafts, downregulating ABCB1/ABCC3, reducing drug efflux, and increasing intracellular PTX to restore sensitivity. PPH showed superior cholesterol-binding and resistance-reversal efficacy than lovastatin, with faster, stronger PTX-enhanced cytotoxicity and tumor suppression.Conclusions: PPH reverses PTX resistance by targeting cholesterol-lipid rafts to inhibit multiple ABC transporters. This offers a safer adjuvant for PTX-based breast cancer therapy and a translational framework for other drug-resistant malignancies.

Physical aging presents a significant challenge that hinders the practical application of high-permeability polymer-based membranes. Herein, we have designed a polymer network membrane (PI–CO@Trip-TB (1:10)) featuring H-bonding interactions by regulating the ratio of the carboxyl-containing copolymer PI-CO (6FDA-FDA-DABA) to Trip-TB (Tröger's base), which significantly improved the anti-aging performance without compromising the high permeability. The introduction of PI-CO not only generates H-bonding interactions to enhance compatibility, but also the introduction of its linear chain segments effectively hinders the relaxation of the chain of the Trip-TB spatial structure. Which synergistically stabilizes the free volume elements and mitigates the rate of their temporal collapse. Compared to Trip-TB, the PI-CO@Trip-TB (1:10) polymer network membrane demonstrates outstanding anti-aging performance, in which the permeability of CO 2 and O 2 is maintained at approximately 60 % even after 90 days. Notably, the performance of both fresh and aged PI-CO@Trip-TB (1:10) membranes surpasses the 2008 Robeson upper bound (CO 2 /CH 4 ) and the 2015 Robeson upper bound (O 2 /N 2 ). Overall, this study establishes an effective strategy for designing high-permeability polymers with anti-aging properties for practical applications in separation membranes.

Despite significant advances in lignin depolymerization studies, the specific combination of Mo and W in bimetallic catalysts and their impact on hydrogen activation and Lewis acidity in lignin conversion remains poorly understood, particularly in terms of the synergistic effects that enhance efficiency and selectivity. A bimetallic Mo x W y /H-Beta catalyst was synthesized via incipient wetness impregnation with the catalyst characterized using XPS, H 2 -TPR, NH 3 -TPD, and other methods. The catalyst demonstrated high activity for selective kraft lignin depolymerization due to the synergy between Lewis acid sites, hydrogen activation sites, and the Mo-W interaction on the support. The proximity of metal and acid sites facilitated effective diffusion of intermediates, leading to enhanced synergy and the eventual cleavage of etheric C–O bonds. A Liquid fuel (LF) yield of 84.3 % and 71.6 % kraft lignin conversion at 300 °C without external hydrogen. The higher heating value (HHV) increased from 25.45 MJ/kg in the original kraft lignin feed to 35.9 MJ/kg in the LF. XPS analysis showed a predominant amount of Mo 6+ on the fresh catalyst surface, with complete conversion to lower oxidation states during the reaction. This study provides insights into the structure–activity relationships of Mo-based bimetallic catalysts, highlighting the importance of hydrogen activation sites and acidic sites in kraft lignin depolymerization.

In this study, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) - polyetherimide (PEI) composites were prepared by a simple solution casting method, where the h-BN particles were aligned by an external magnetic field. Prior to the preparation of the composite samples, the h-BN platelets were firstly decorated by iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 ) to achieve the desired magnetic properties . Due to the alignment of h-BN particles, the composite exhibited greatly enhanced thermal conductivity along that direction. At a filler loading of 20 wt%, an enhancement of 166% was obtained, compared to that of the unaligned composite. Furthermore, the composite samples showed a low dielectric loss (~ 0.01) with the filling ratio below 20 wt% and a tensile modulus of up to 2.34 GPa. Bearing such thermal conductivity , electrical insulation properties, and mechanical properties , these composites with magnetically aligned h-BN particles show potentials for microelectronic packaging applications.

Selective hydrogenolysis, the aromatic ether C-O bonds under mild conditions, is crucial for the valorization of lignin. In this context, the effects of H 2 and solvent on the hydrogenolysis of lignin model compounds over Ru catalysts were explored. With H 2 as hydrogen donor, the Ru/AC exhibited the highest activity for converting lignin model compounds into monomeric compounds, whereas H 2 led to low selectivity of aromatics. However, isopropanol was the good H-donor solvent, which could provide a large amount of active hydrogen to promote the cleavage of C-O bonds. Additionally, the yield of aromatics in isopropanol was higher than that under H 2 atmosphere. It could be ascribed to the fact that isopropanol is the protic solvent which displays Lewis basicity, and is a good H-bond donor and a good H-bond acceptor. The higher electron-releasing inductive effect of isopropanol made it easier to provide active hydrogen. Based on the experiments, the mechanism of benzyl phenyl ether hydrogenolysis in H 2 and isopropanol system was presented.

The essential oil (EO) was extracted from aerial parts with insecticidal and fungicidal activity. Herein, the hydro-distilled essential oils ofSeseli maireiH. Wolff roots were determined by GC-MS. A total of 37 components were identified, (E)-beta-caryophyllene (10.49%),β-geranylgeranyl (6.64%), (E)-2-decenal (6.17%) and germacrene-D (4.28%). The essential oil ofSeseli maireiH. Wolff had nematicidal toxicity againstBursaphelenchus xylophiluswith a LC50value of 53.45 μg/mL. The subsequent bioassay-guided investigation led to the isolation of three active constituents: falcarinol, (E)-2-decenal, and octanoic acid. The falcarinol demonstrated the strongest toxicity againstB. Xylophilus(LC50= 8.52 μg/mL). The octanoic acid and (E)-2-decenal also exhibited moderate toxicity againstB. xylophilus(LC50= 65.56 and 176.34 μg/mL, respectively). The LC50of falcarinol for the toxicity ofB. xylophiluswas 7.7 and 21 times than that of octanoic acid and (E)-2-decenal, respectively. Our findings demonstrate that the essential oil fromSeseli maireiH. Wolff roots and their isolates may be developed as a promising natural nematicide.Keywords:Seseli maireiH.

Microwave devices with reduced dielectric loss and electronic components with increased integration density necessitate the higher performance of electronic packaging materials. The h-BN/AlN/CaCO 3 -MgO-B 2 O 3 -SiO 2 -Li 2 CO 3 glass composites were prepared via tape-casting and then sintered by pressureless and hot-pressing, respectively. The thermal conductivity of pressureless sintered composite was increased to 6.55 W/(m·K) by incorporating 3 wt% h-BN, and the thermal expansion of 4.47 ppm/K was achieved along with low dielectric constant of 5.76 and dielectric loss of 7.02 × 10 −4 at 24 GHz. In contrast, the hot-pressing sintered composite containing 4 wt% h-BN exhibited higher thermal conductivity of 10.3 W/(m·K) and lower dielectric loss of 4.77 × 10 −4 . The microstructure characterization indicated the construction of heat conduction networks, and XRD analysis illustrated the formation of crystallization in the glass. Such low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) with high thermal conductivity and low dielectric loss would be a promising candidate for electronic packaging and 5G communication applications.

Rational design of effective non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts with high conductivity, abundant active sites, and superior stability for zinc–air batteries (ZABs) with long-term cycling ability is highly demanded. A suitable carrier that can provide a high specific surface and porous structure to facilitate the exposure of active sites and the diffusion of reactants, products, and charges is of great importance. Herein, one-dimensional (1D) Fe–Zn-doped porous carbon fibers (Fe–Zn@NCF) are prepared from a polymer fiber matrix encapsulated with Fe-doped ZIF-8 nanocrystals by pyrolysis. The Fe–Zn@NCF exhibits good performance toward the oxygen reduction reaction or oxygen evolution reaction. Impressively, the assembled ZAB with Fe–Zn@NCF as the catalyst delivers a maximum peak power density of 184.6 mW cm–2, excellent rechargeability with a round-trip efficiency of 66.5%, and stable operation over 1600 h (800 cycles). These excellent electrocatalytic performances can be attributed to the Fe/Zn-based dual catalytic active sites and the 1D carbon fiber support of the catalyst with a hierarchical porous structure, a large surface area, and high conductivity that can facilitate fast mass and electron transportation and maintain the structural stability of the catalyst during cycling.

An organometallic complex-catalyzed artificial coenzyme regeneration system has attracted widespread attention. However, the combined use of organometallic complex catalysts and natural enzymes easily results in mutual inactivation. Herein, we establish a rhodium-based metal–organic framework (MOF)-on-MOF difunctional core–shell nanoreactor as an artificial enzymatic NAD(P)H regeneration system. UiO67 as the core is used to capture rhodium molecules for catalyzing NAD(P)H regeneration. UiO66 as the shell is used to specifically immobilize His-tagged lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and serve as a protection shield for LDH and [Cp*Rh(bpy)Cl]+ to prevent mutual inactivation. A variety of results indicate that UiO67@Rh@UiO66 has good activity in realizing NAD(P)H regeneration. Noteworthily, UiO67@Rh@UiO66@LDH maintains a high activity level even after 10 cycles. This work reports a novel NAD(P)H regeneration platform to open up a new avenue for constructing chemoenzyme coupling systems.

Atomic H* has been reported to be thermodynamically feasible for activating hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) to produce radicals, while the nonradical pathway and the contributions of metal sites and atomic H* in H 2 O 2 activation need further exploration. In this study, a TiO 2 @MnO 2 catalyst was synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method and surprisingly found to produce atomic H* over Mn sites in water without external energy input (e.g., light and electricity). Atomic H* plays an essential role in the activation of H 2 O 2 via a nonradical pathway, which induces the removal of tiamulin up to 80.4–91.7% in 20 min at a wide pH range of 4.0–11.0. Density function theory calculations prove that atomic H* owns a much lower total energy barrier (ΔG total = 0.68 eV) for the decomposition of H 2 O 2 to generate superoxide and singlet oxygen than Mn sites (ΔG total = 2.90 eV). This study is a re-visit to the mechanism of activating H 2 O 2 via atomic H* for efficient degradation of emerging organic contaminants .
