The near-infrared phosphor converted light-emitting diodes (NIR pc-LEDs) have been broadly used in the fields of night vision, biomedicine, nondestructive testing and food analysis. Over the past few years, many Cr 3+ doped NIR phosphorus has been reported. However, the realization of ultra-broad band NIR emission with high quantum efficiency remains a great challenge. Here, we report an ultra-broadband NIR emitting phosphor Li 3 Sc 1.92 (PO 4 ) 3 :0.08Cr 3+ with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 240 nm. The reason for the ultra-broad emission band is that the host Li 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 provides two different kinds of ScO6 octahedral sites for Cr 3+ ions to occupy. This FWHM is better than most NIR emitting phosphors reported so far. Our research indicates that Li 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :Cr 3+ phosphors have great potential in night vision and NIR spectroscopy .

The global incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are gradually increasing. A high-fat diet (HFD) is known to disrupt intestinal homeostasis and aggravate IBD, yet the underlying mechanisms remain largely undefined. Here, a positive correlation between dietary fat intake and disease severity in both IBD patients and murine colitis models is observed. A HFD induces a significant decrease in indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and leads to intestinal barrier damage. Furthermore, IAA supplementation enhances intestinal mucin sulfation and effectively alleviates colitis. Mechanistically, IAA upregulates key molecules involved in mucin sulfation, including 3’-phosphoadenosine 5’-phosphosulfate synthase 2 (Papss2) and solute carrier family 35 member B3 (Slc35b3), the synthesis enzyme and the transferase of 3’-phosphoadenosine-5’-phosphosulfate (PAPS), via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). More importantly, AHR can directly bind to the transcription start site of Papss2. Oral administration of Lactobacillus reuteri, which can produce IAA, contributes to protecting against colitis and promoting mucin sulfation, while the modified L. reuteri strain lacking the iaaM gene (LactobacillusΔiaaM) and the ability to produce IAA fail to exhibit such effects. Overall, IAA enhances intestinal mucin sulfation through the AHR-Papss2-Slc35b3 pathway, contributing to the protection of intestinal homfeostasis.

Antiperovskites have developed to be one kind of important functional material over the past few decades, showing abundant physical properties such as negative thermal expansion and superconductivity, etc. However, antiperovskite ferroelectrics have scarcely been discovered in inorganic ceramics. In this article, we report a new organic–inorganic hybrid antiperovskite ferroelectric [(CH3)2(F-CH2CH2)NH]3(CdCl3)(CdCl4) based on the strategy of molecular design. The replacement of one methyl in [(CH3)3NH]CdCl3 with ethyl produces the lower symmetric [(CH3)2(CH2CH3)NH]CdCl3 with nonpolar perovskite structure, while the polar hexagonal antiperovskite structure with the formula of X3BA (where X = [(CH3)2(F-CH2CH2)NH]+, B = [CdCl3]−, and A = [CdCl4]2–) was received after further fluoridation of the ethyl group. Therefore, fluoridation successfully achieves the structural transformation from perovskite to antiperovskite, as well as the significant changes in physical properties from nonferroelectric to ferroelectric. The antiperovskite [(CH3)2(F-CH2CH2)NH]3(CdCl3)(CdCl4) exhibits typical ferroelectric phase transition above room temperature (Tc = 333 K) including thermal anomalies, dielectric transitions, and second harmonic generation (SHG) responses. Moreover, lower coercive fields and easy polarization switching are observed by the measurements of hysteresis loops and ferroelectric domains. The saturated polarization (Ps) of 4.0 μC/cm2 is almost 10 times as large as those recently discovered antiperovskite molecular ferroelectrics. This finding provides a novel strategy to design and explore more antiperovskite organic–inorganic hybrid ferroelectric materials.

A homogeneous RuCl 2 (PPh 3 ) 3 catalyst was prepared for the hydrogenation of bio-oil to improve its stability and fuel quality. Experiments were first performed on three model aldehydes of acetaldehyde, furfural and vanillin selected to represent the linear aldehydes, oxygen heterocyclic aldehydes and aromatic aldehydes in bio-oil. The results demonstrated the high hydrogenation capability of this homogeneous catalyst under mild conditions (55–90 °C, 1.3–3.3 MPa). The highest conversion of the three model aldehydes was over 90 %. Furfural and acetaldehyde were singly converted to furfuryl alcohol and ethanol after hydrogenation, while vanillin was mainly converted to vanillin alcohol, together with a small amount of 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol and 2-methoxyphenol. Further experiments were conducted on a bio-oil fraction extracted by ethyl acetate and on the whole bio-oil at 70 °C and 3.3 MPa. Most of the aldehydes were transformed to the corresponding alcohols, and some ketones and compounds with C–C double bond were converted to more stable compounds.

Cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, β-methylstyrene and cinnamic acid are four important biomass 3-phenyl-2-propene compounds. In the field of perfume and organic synthesis, their thermal stability and oxidation pathways deserve attention. This paper reports a new attempt to investigate the thermal stability and reactivity by a custom-designed mini closed pressure vessel test (MCPVT). The pressure and temperature behaviors were measured by MCPVT under nitrogen and oxygen atmosphere. The temperature of initial oxygen absorption (Ta) and rapid oxidation (TR) were calculated. The results showed that four 3-phenyl-2-propene compounds were stable under nitrogen atmosphere. The Ta of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, β-methylstyrene, and cinnamic acid was 271.25 K, 292.375 K, 323.125 K, and 363.875 K, and their TR was 301.125 K, 332.75 K, 357.91 K, and 385.375 K, respectively. The oxidation reactivity order was derived to be cinnamaldehyde > cinnamyl alcohol > β-methylstyrene > cinnamic acid. The oxidation kinetics were determined using n versus time (n–t) plots, which showed a second-order reaction. Peroxide was determined by iodimetry, and the oxidation products were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that the peroxide value of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, β-methylstyrene, and cinnamic acid reached 18.88, 15.07, 9.62, and 4.24 mmol kg−1 at 373 K for 6 h, respectively. The common oxidation products of four 3-phenyl-2-propene compounds were benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, and epoxide, which resulted from the carbon–carbon double bond oxidation. The substituents' oxidation products were obtained from the oxidation of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, and β-methylstyrene. In particular, the difference is that no oxidation products of the carboxyl group of cinnamic acid were detected. The common oxidation products of the four 3-phenyl-2-propene compounds were benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, and epoxide, which resulted from the carbon–carbon double bond oxidation. The substituents' oxidation products were caught in the oxidation of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, and β-methylstyrene. In particular, the difference is that no oxidation products of the carboxyl group of cinnamic acid were detected. According to the complex oxidation products, important insights into the oxidation pathways were provided.

The development of green energetic materials is based on environmental friendliness, safety and performance improvement. It is of great significance to design and synthesize new nitrogen rich salts for a new generation of green energetic materials. In the present work, a series of 3-amino-5-hydrazinopyrazole energetic salts comprising energetic anions were synthesized and were characterized using elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Compounds 1–5 were further confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction and the sensitivities were measured by the standard BAM methods. Additionally, the structure–property relationship was elucidated from the experimental results and theoretical calculations. Energetic salts of 2 and 5 exhibited high heat of formation (5, 1160.06 kJ mol−1), high decomposition temperature (2, 172 °C; 5, 186 °C), excellent detonation performance (2, Dv, 9076 m s−1, P 34.1 GPa; 5, Dv, 8974 m s−1, P 31.9 GPa), moderate sensitivity towards outer stimuli and high nitrogen contents (2, 41.03%; 5, 63.84%). This work increases future prospects for the design of insensitive and novel high-energy green energetic material.

A highly sensitive coating comprising 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) monolayer modified electrospun polystyrene (PS) membranes was constructed on the electrode of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) for Cu 2+ detection. The three-dimensional fibrous PS membranes with high specific surface area (SSA) were deposited on the electrode of QCM via electrospinning. The PS membranes were sputter coated with gold, then modified with self-assembled monolayer of MPA. The PS-MPA sensors showed fast response (2–3 s) to Cu 2+ and a detection limit down to 100 ppb. Additionally, sensor sensitivity increased concurrently with both increasing PS loading and SSA on QCM electrodes . The response of the PS-MPA sensors with a PS membrane loading of 978 Hz and SSA of 43.31 m 2 /g was 40 times larger than that without membranes when exposed to 1 ppm of Cu 2+ . The sensor responses were reproducible toward Cu 2+ in the 100–5 ppm concentration range, whereas a linear response was found in the 100–1 ppm concentration range. The sensor response to Cu 2+ showed a linear relationship with an increase in pH from 2 to 7. Moreover, the sensors also exhibited chelation selectivity for other transition metal ions in the descending order Cu 2+ > Ni 2+ > Zn 2+ > Fe 2+ at concentration between 1 and 5 ppm.

Browning caused by polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and microorganisms significantly impacts the nutritional quality of fruits and vegetables. This study identified 7-(Diethylamino) coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (7-DCCA) as an effective inhibitor of both PPO and bacteria. Enzyme assays revealed that 7-DCCA competitively inhibits PPO activity with an IC 50 value of 0.275 ± 0.002 mM. Fluorescence and molecular simulation methods demonstrated that 7-DCCA forms a complex with PPO through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions, altering the enzyme's structure and reducing its activity. Thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) assays showed that 7-DCCA stabilizes PPO, delaying its thermal decomposition. Antibacterial tests proved that 7-DCCA inhibits Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli by disrupting cell membranes. Additionally, 7-DCCA suppressed PPO and peroxidase activities, delaying phenolic oxidation and preventing browning in fruits and vegetables. Cytotoxicity assays confirmed its safety, with over 85 % cell viability at concentrations up to 0.1 mM. Stability experiments verified that 7-DCCA had greatly light and thermal stability. This study highlighted 7-DCCA as a promising antibrowning agent with potential application in food preservation.

Meanwhile, the electrochemical properties of NaCo(PO 3 ) 3 cathode for sodium-ion batteries are also elevated and an initial discharge capacity of 33.8 mAh/g can be obtained at 0.05 C within 1.5–4.2 V. After 20 cycles, a discharge capacity of 26.7 mAh/g can be obtained and a well-kept oxidation–reduction plateau is still observed for NaCo(PO 3 ) 3 cathode, indicating the good reversibility of this metaphosphate electrode.

The phosphorus (III) ligands were crucial for the further improvement of homogeneous nickel catalysts that were employed in the isomerization of 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile (2M3BN) to 3-pentenenitrile (3PN). The catalytic behavior of 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb 1 )Ni complex was improved in cumene and the conversion of 2M3BN showed zero-order kinetic. The mechanism behind the isomerization was amended and the density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested that the reductive elimination step forming 3PN was kinetically relevant in catalytic cycles. An optimal bite angle of nickel-diphosphine complex around 104.7° provided excellent catalytic performance. The key factors governing isomerization were unraveled. The steric effect determined the reactivity, while the electronic effect governed the selectivity of the isomerization reaction. The bite angle – a vital descriptor – would associate with the steric and electronic effects of diphosphines. These structure-activity relationships provided important guidance for ligand design in the isomerization of 2M3BN.

Insects have evolved highly sensitive olfactory sensory systems to detect plant hosts and mates, with plant volatiles playing an important role in informing insect behavior. Chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are thought to play a key role in this process, but in this respect, there is limited information on brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens , one of the most destructive pests of rice. To expand our understanding of CSP function in N. lugens we explored expression profiles and binding characteristics of NlugCSP3. The ligands with higher binding affinity were also validated by molecular docking and behavioral assays. NlugCSP3 mRNA was expressed at relatively higher levels in antennae and abdomen of 3-day-old unmated macropterous males as well as in antennae of 3-day mated macropterous and brachypterous females. Fluorescence competitive binding assays revealed that 5 out of 25 candidate volatiles are strong binders (Ki < 10 μM). Behavioral assays revealed that nonadecane and 2-tridecanone, which have high binding affinities in fluorescence competition-binding assays, displayed strong attractiveness to N. lugens . Pursuing this further, molecular docking analysis identified key amino acid residues involved in binding volatile compounds. Overall, our data provide a base for further investigation of the potential physiological functions of CSP3 in Nilaparvata lugens , and extend the function of NlugCSP3 in chemoreception of N. lugens.
