To develop biocompatible nanofibrous membranes for wound healing, we investigated the coelectrospinning of two proteins (collagen and zein) in aqueous acetic acid solution. It was found that the combination of zein could improve the electrospinnability of collagen. For the resultant electrospun membrane, its fiber diameter, surface wettability, mechanical, and in vitro degradable properties as well as cell adhesive ability could be modulated by the change of collagen/zein blending ratio. Moreover, berberine drug could be incorporated in situ into the electrospun nanofibrous membrane for its controlled release and antibacterial activity. The addition of berberine showed little effects on the fiber morphology and cell viability. In addition, the wound healing performance of the as-obtained nanofibrous membranes was examined in vivo by using female Sprague–Dawley rats and histological observation.

Tailoring the band structure of photocatalysts by elemental doping to enhance redox ability and carrier separation kinetics is a promising strategy for designing high-efficiency catalysts for uranium (U(VI)) photoreduction. Herein, we report enhanced visible-light spectral absorption by tuning the energy bandgap of flower-like ZnO microspheres by doping Co. Accordingly, Co doping narrows the bandgap and increases the photogenerated carrier concentration, thereby promoting the U(VI) photocatalytic reduction. Especially, the removal ratio of U(VI) by Co-doped ZnO microspheres reaches 98.4% with a remarkable adsorption capacity of 1645 mg/g for U(VI) uptake in 400 ppm U(VI) solution. In addition, the Co-doped ZnO microspheres present desired U(VI) reduction ratio in a wide range of U(VI) concentrations, as well as excellent reusability, and resistance to ion interference during photocatalysis. This paper provides a feasible strategy for enhancing the photocatalytic reduction of uranium by introducing metal element doping on the metal oxide surface. Graphical abstract

UV/sulfite process without oxygen has been extensively explored and used for the degradation of many micro-pollutants. In the present work, a UV/sulfite process in the presence of oxygen was applied to degrade a widely used pharmaceutical compound, metformin (MET). The results showed that the oxygen-involved UV/sulfite process could efficiently degrade MET. At an initial concentration of 2.5 mg/L, 86.0% of MET was removed from the contaminated water within 180 min irradiation at a sulfite dosage of 10 mM, solution pH of 9, and UV intensity of 4,092 μW/cm2. In addition, sulfate radical (SO4•-), hydroxide radical (•OH), hydrogen atom (•H), and hydrated electron (eaq−) were found to be the dominant active species contributing to MET removal in the studied process through scavenging experiments. The increase in UV intensity, sulfite dosage, solution pH, and reaction temperature enhanced MET degradation in the investigated process to a certain extent, whereas the introduction of bicarbonate and fulvic acid slightly suppressed MET degradation. Finally, the degradation products of MET were identified. The oxygen-involved UV/sulfite process exhibited a remarkable denitrification capacity (>80%) in MET. The findings of this study may offer a novel approach for treating emerging contaminants.

Distinctive upconversion or downshifting of lanthanide nanocrystals holds promise for biomedical and photonic applications. However, either process requires high-energy lasers at discrete wavelengths for excitation. Here we demonstrate that co-sensitization can break this limitation with ultrawide excitation bands. We achieve co-sensitization by employing Nd 3+ and Ho 3+ as the co-sensitizers with complementary absorptions from the ultraviolet to infrared region. Symmetric penta-layer core-shell nanostructure enables tunable fluorescence in the visible and the second near-infrared window when incorporating different activators (Er 3+ , Ho 3+ , Pr 3+ , and Tm 3+ ). Transient spectra confirm the directional energy transfer from sensitizers to activators through the bridge of Yb 3+ . We validate the features of the nanocrystals for low-powered white light-emitting diode-mediated whole-body angiography of mice with a signal-to-noise ratio of 12.3 and excitation-regulated encryption. This co-sensitization strategy paves a new way in lanthanide nanocrystals for multidirectional photon conversion manipulation and excitation-bandwidth-regulated fluorescence applications.

Interface interaction has always been considered a major challenge in the field of desensitization. Co-crystal explosives can balance the properties of energetic materials, but their limited desensitization effect limits their further practical applications. Based on this, we proposed the desensitization of CL-20/HMX co-crystal by three functionalized graphene oxide (NH 2 -GO, Am-GO and M550-GO). The sensitivity results indicate that the M550-GO has the best desensitization. To further explore the reasons for the better desensitization effect of M550, molecular dynamics was used to simulate the binding energy and mechanical properties of different systems. The results showed that the electrostatic interaction between functionalized graphene oxide and CL-20/HMX co-crystal can enhance the interfacial interaction more than van der Waals force. In a word, this work provides new ideas and insights for enhancing the interface interaction of coating materials and popularizing the practical application of co-crystal explosives.

The dominant Haber–Bosch process to produce ammonia, arguably the most important chemical in support of global food supply, is both energy and carbon intensive, resulting in substantial environmental impacts. Electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) powered by renewable electricity provides a green synthetic route for ammonia, but still suffers from insufficient yield rate and Faradaic efficiency. Single-atom electrocatalysts (SACs) have the potential to transform this catalytic process; however, controllable synthesis of SACs with high loading of active sites remains a big challenge. Here we utilize bacterial cellulose with rich oxygen functional groups to anchor iron (Fe) and cobalt (Co), realizing high density, atomically dispersed, bimetallic Fe–Co active sites. For electrocatalytic NRR, our catalyst design delivers a remarkable ammonia yield rate of 579.2 ± 27.8 μg h −1 mg cat. −1 and an exceptional Faradaic efficiency of 79.0 ± 3.8%. The combined theoretical and experimental investigations reveal that the operando change in coordination configuration from [(O-C 2 ) 3 Fe–Co(O-C 2 ) 3 ] to [(O-C 2 ) 3 Fe–Co(O-C)C 2 ] is the enabling chemistry. Our findings suggest a general approach to engineer SACs that can drive critical reactions of relevance for sustainability.

Despite the vital roles of Co nanoparticles catalytic oxidation in the Fenton-like system for eliminating pollutants, contributions of Co phases are typically overlooked. Herein, a biphase Co@C core-shell catalyst was synthesized by the electrochemical co-reduction of CaCO 3 and Co 3 O 4 in molten carbonate. Unlike the traditional pyrolysis method that is performed over 700 °C, the electrolysis was deployed at 450 °C, at which biphase structures, i.e., face-centered cubic (FCC) and hexagonal close-packed (HCP) structures, can be obtained. The biphase Co@C shows excellent catalytic oxidation performance of diethyl phthalate (DEP) with a high turnover frequency value (TOF, 28.14 min –1 ) and low catalyst dosage (4 mg L –1 ). Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm that the synergistic catalytic effect of biphase Co@C is the enhancement for the breaking of the peroxide O–O bond and the charge transfer from catalysts to PMS molecule for the activation. Moreover, the results of radicals quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) tests confirm that SO 4 •– , •OH, O 2 •– , and 1 O 2 co-degrade DEP. Remarkably, 100% removals of three model contaminants, including DEP, sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and 2,4-dichlorophen (2,4-DCP), were achieved, either in pure water or actual river water. This paper provides an electrochemical pathway to leverage the phase of catalysts and thereby mediate their catalytic capability for remediating refractory organic contaminants .

Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has attracted enormous interest as a key process for water electrolysis over the past years. The advance of this process relies on an effective catalyst. Herein, we employed single-atom Au doped Co-based nanosheets (NSs) to theoretically and experimentally evaluate the OER activity and also the interaction between Co and Au. We reveal that Au–Co(OH)2 NSs achieved a low overpotential of 0.26 V at 10 mA cm−2. This extraordinary phenomenon presents an overall superior performance greater than state-of-the-art Co-based catalysts in a sequence of α-Co(OH)2 < Co3O4 < CoOOH < Au–Co(OH)2. With ab initio calculations and analysis in the specific Au–Co(OH)2 configuration, we reveal that OER on highly active Au–Co(OH)2 originates from lattice oxygen, which is different from the conventional adsorbate evolution scheme. Explicitly, the configuration of Au–Co(OH)2 gives rise to oxygen non-bonding (ONB) states and oxygen holes, allowing direct O–O bond formation by a couple of oxidized oxygen with oxygen holes, offering a high OER activity. This study provides new insights for elucidating the origins of activity and synthesizing efficient OER electrocatalysts.

Programed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a protein biomarker overexpressed on exosomes derived from tumor cells. It plays an important role in tumor diagnosis, screening, evaluation of therapeutic efficacy, and prognosis. In this study, a facile method is presented to detect PD-L1-overexpressing cancer exosomes with high specificity and sensitivity. First, gold nanospheres (GNSs) were attached to the bottom of an eight-well chambered slide by electrostatic adsorption, forming the detection substrate. Then, Cy5-labeled CD63 aptamers (i.e., the capture probes) were modified on the GNSs by Au–S bond. After adding samples containing target exosomes which were stained by membrane dyes DiI in advance, FAM-labeled PD-L1 aptamers (i.e., the immunoprobes) were added to recognize PD-L1 on the target exosomes. By triple-color fluorescence co-localization (TFC) of the Cy5, DiI, and FAM channels, highly sensitive and reliable detection of the PD-L1-overexpressing exosomes was achieved in the concentration range 7.78 × 10 1 to 7.78 × 10 4 particles/mL with a detection limit down to 6 particles/mL. The advantages of the proposed detection method include the following; first, the detection substrate is easy to prepare and convenient to clean. Second, the TFC strategy can completely exclude nonspecific reaction sites and thus significantly improves the accuracy. Such a facile and reliable detection method holds a great potential in exosome-based cancer theranostics. Graphical abstract In this paper, we proposed a triple-color fluorescence co-localization (TFC) strategy to significantly improve the reliability of exosome detection and the detection substrate is easy to prepare and convenient to clean. In addition, the LOD is down to 6 particles/mL, which is quite low compared with other detection methods

CO sensor is helpful to monitor the working state of combustion equipment, such as industrial boilers and engines, and to ensure the production process and human life safety. However, balancing fast response/recovery and high response value for metal oxide CO sensors remains a challenge. In this work, based on band gap engineering, porous TiO 2 /CeO 2 NSs with different TiO 2 coupling amounts were prepared by hydrothermal method combined with flame annealing. The heterojunction composed of TiO 2 and CeO 2 narrowed the energy band width of the composite system and made the electron transmission more efficient, which endowed TiO 2 /CeO 2 NSs with good gas sensing properties. The results indicated that the response value of TiO 2 /CeO 2 NSs is 9.78 time that of CeO 2 NSs. Its ultrafast response/recovery time (2 s/6 s), good CO selectivity and wide CO monitoring range (500 ppb-5000 ppm) are also impressive. The TiO 2 /CeO 2 NSs sensor has great potential for rapid CO monitoring.

The hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties of catalysts greatly influence product distribution by tuning the secondary reactions during Fischer–Tropsch synthesis. Studies have confirmed that hydrophilic modification can inhibit secondary reactions. Herein, hydroxyapatite (HAP)-supported Fe catalysts (Fe/HAP) were prepared using an impregnation method. The effect of the catalyst surface properties on the product distribution in CO hydrogenation was studied. The surface hydroxyl groups on Fe/HAP promoted the growth of carbon chains and improved olefin selectivity. The addition of Na as a promoter to Fe/HAP suppressed the formation of undesirable CH 4 , further improving the selectivity for light olefins and C 5 + hydrocarbons. Compared with Fe 2 O 3 , Fe/HAP showed lower CH 4 selectivity (15%) and higher C 5 + selectivity (45%). Meanwhile, the Fe/HAP -Na catalysts with a higher selectivity of light olefins (with an O/P ratio reaching 4.51).

Both co-cultivation and co-substrate addition strategies have exhibited massive potential in microalgae-based antibiotic bioremediation. In this study, glucose and sodium acetate were employed as co-substrate in the cultivation of microalgae-bacteria consortium for enhanced sulfadiazine (SDZ) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) removal. Glucose demonstrated a two-fold increase in biomass production with a maximum specific growth rate of 0.63 ± 0.01 d −1 compared with sodium acetate. The supplementation of co-substrate enhanced the degradation of SDZ significantly up to 703 ± 18% for sodium acetate and 290 ± 22% for glucose, but had almost no effect on SMX. The activities of antioxidant enzymes, including peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase decreased with co-substrate supplementation. Chlorophyll a was associated with protection against sulfonamides and chlorophyll b might contribute to SDZ degradation. The addition of co-substrates influenced bacterial community structure greatly. Glucose enhanced the relative abundance of Proteobacteria , while sodium acetate improved the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes significantly.
