Ice accretion severely compromises infrastructure safety and efficiency. While integrating photothermal function with superhydrophobicity offers a promising solution, achieving this synergy within a mechanically robust coating remains challenging. Herein, we present a superhydrophobic nanocomposite coating fabricated by embedding multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and hydrophobic silica (H-SiO 2 ) in an organosilicon polymer (OSP) matrix. The OSP/MWCNT/H-SiO 2 coating exhibits good mechanical durability, maintaining superhydrophobicity after severe water and sand impact, owing to the reinforced composite structure. Crucially, the design yields a remarkable photothermal conversion efficiency, achieving a temperature rise of 85 °C under 1.0 kW·m −2 irradiation. This photothermalsuperhydrophobic synergy enables outstanding anti-icing performance, delaying ice formation for over 578 s at -20 °C, and efficient solar-driven de-icing (complete melting within 462 s). Successfully demonstrated on insulators, our coating offers a viable dualfunctional platform to address icing challenges in practical settings.

Two novel trinuclear ferrocenyl coordination compounds, Fc 3 N 4 /Fe and Fc 3 N 4 /Co, were synthesized as burning-rate catalysts for ammonium perchlorate (AP). The trinuclear architecture, featuring a nitrogen-rich ligand bridging three ferrocene units with transition metal centers, was designed to enhance multi-site electron transfer and thereby promote catalytic performance. At 3 wt% loading, Fc 3 N 4 /Co reduced AP's high-temperature decomposition temperature by 126°C, decreased the apparent activation energy by 74.0 kJ · mol −1 , and increased heat release by 718 J · g −1 , outperforming the corresponding mononuclear analogues and commercial binuclear ferrocene catalysts. Structural characterization (XRD, BET, XPS) and DFT calculations suggest that the superior catalytic activity arises from synergistic Co–Fe electronic modulation that facilitates N–H and Cl–O bond activation, together with a high specific surface area (310.6 m 2 · g −1 ) that provides abundant active sites. This work establishes trinuclear ferrocenyl coordination compounds as a promising platform for high-performance burning-rate catalysts in composite solid propellants.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis is one of the most prevalent skeletal disorders in women and is featured by the imbalance between intraosseous vascularization and bone metabolism. In this study, a pH-responsive shell–core structured micro/nano-hydrogel microspheres loaded with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) using gas microfluidics and ionic cross-linking technology are developed. This micro/nano-hydrogel microsphere system (PDAP@Alg/Cs) can achieve oral delivery, intragastric protection, intestinal slow/controlled release, active targeting to bone tissue, and thus negatively affecting intraosseous angiogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. According to biodistribution data, PDAP@Alg/Cs can successfully enhance drug intestinal absorption and bioavailability through intestine adhesion and bone targeting after oral administration. In vitro and in vivo experiments reveal that PDAP@Alg/Cs promoted type H vessel formation and inhibited bone resorption, effectively mitigating bone loss by activating HIF-1 α /VEGF signaling pathway and promoting heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression. In conclusion, this novel oral micro/nano-hydrogel microsphere system can simultaneously accelerate intraosseous vascularization and decrease bone resorption, offering a brand-new approach to prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis.

A novel composite biochar synthesized from Fenton sludge (FS) and sewage sludge (SS) was employed to catalyze persulfate for the removal of 1-H-1,2,4-triazole (TZ). The optimized conditions for the synthesis and operating process were identified through response surface methodology as follow: SS/FS mass ratio = 5:1, catalyst dosage = 0.9 g L −1 and PDS concentration = 0.5 g L −1 . The removal efficiencies of TZ, TOC and organic nitrogen were found to be as high as 97.6%, 80.33% and 100%, respectively, with the addition of Fe 3 O 4 -doped biochar in persulfate catalytic system. Besides, Fe 3 O 4 -doped biochar exhibited superior stability and tolerance to wide range of pH (2–12), temperature (15–45 °C) and co-existing substrate. The reactive oxygen species, which resulted in the catalytic degradation of TZ followed the order of SO 4 ∙− > ∙OH > O 2 ∙− > 1 O 2 , were identified by electron spin resonance and quenching tests. It demonstrated that the radical pathway accomplished with non-radical pathway contributed to the enhanced degradation of TZ, which was further identified by electrochemical experiments. Moreover, the possible degradation pathway of TZ was ascertained and proposed through DFT calculation and LC-MS analysis. These findings illustrated that the novel magnetic biochar would be a promising persulfate catalyst for the treatment of refractory organic matters. In addition, it also provided a new alternative method for the resource utilization of FS and SS.

The exploration of inexpensive and stable heterogeneous catalysts for C–S coupling reactions remains a challenging issue. Herein, we successfully prepared a new biomass-derived copper catalyst and applied it to the selective C(sp3)–H-directed sulfonylation of ketone hydrazones with commercial sodium sulfinates. The catalyst was characterized using different spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. Importantly, the prepared biomass-supported Cu catalyst catalyzed the C–S coupling reaction with considerably high activity. A variety of aryl and alkyl sulfinates were converted to the corresponding sulfones with good yields. In particular, the heterogeneous catalyst could be recovered easily after the synthesis and consecutively used at least five times with no appreciable decrease in the catalytic activity. Lastly, the copper catalyst is expected to have further applications in organic reactions catalyzed by Cu/CuO2.Keywords:biomass-derived;copper catalysts;heterogeneous;C–S coupling

This study is to explore the micro-mechanical properties of C–S–H modified by various carbon nanotubes and the correlation with the nano/micro-structures. The results show that carboxyl-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes provide the great template for the growth of C–S–H and reduce the porosity and surface defects of C–S–H particles. The highly ordered and dense layered structure of C–S–H greatly improves its micro-mechanical properties. In addition, the functional groups (–COOH) of functionalized carbon nanotubes can combine with the Ca–O bond of C–S–H to change the interlayer spacing of C–S–H, and the effects are particularly significant at low Ca/Si.

The occurrence of nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (NPAHs) in sediments has been widely reported, but research on NPAH bioavailability is lacking. In this study, a self-made zeolite imidazolate framework-8/hexagonal boron nitride (ZIF-8/h-BN) solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber and commercial Tenax are compared as efficient tools to predict the bioavailability of NPAHs in sediments with bioassays using Cipangopaludina chinensis . During the process of SPME, the NPAH concentrations on the ZIF-8/h-BN fibers reached extraction equilibrium after 72 h. The fiber extraction of NPAHs in sediments was well-fitted by the pseudo first-order kinetic model with a rate constant of 2 × 10 −2 h −1 (R 2 > 0.98). The extraction rates ranking of NPAHs in sediments was 2-nitrobiphenyl>1-nitropyrene>5-nitroacenaphthene>2-nitrofluorene. Compared with SPME, NPAH concentrations reached equilibrium after 168 h for the Tenax extraction. The orders of magnitude of fast, slow, and very slow desorption rate constants were 10 −1 , 10 −2 , and 10 −4 , respectively. At extraction equilibrium (168 h), the SPME was close to the bioavailability of the NPAHs in sediments to Cipangopaludina chinensis with a slope statistically approximated to one. In addition, the linear regression for SPME (R 2 = 0.7285) was slightly higher than that of the Tenax extraction (R 2 = 0.7168) over a short time (6 h). This could be because the coating material of ZIF-8/h-BN can rapidly adsorb freely dissolved NPAHs, and the SPME fibers can accurately predict the bioaccumulated concentrations of NPAHs in exposed organisms by measuring the concentration of NPAHs in the pore water of sediment. This study provides a time-saving and easy procedure to predict the bioavailability of NPAHs in sediments.

Oxidative stress disrupts the homeostasis of the redox state in cells and induces apoptosis. Prolonged oxidative stress can impair the normal function of cells, tissues, and organs and lead to the development of several diseases. H-2 was synthesized by derivatising N- Alkylamides (NAAs) from Anacyclus pyrethrum (L.) DC, which is commonly used in the treatment of vitiligo in Uyghurs. The antioxidant activity and potential molecular mechanisms of H-2 were investigated using Caenorhabditis elegans ( C. elegans ) and mouse melanoma cell B16-F10 models. The in vivo anti-vitiligo activity of H-2 was studied using C57BL/6 mice. The results showed that H-2 could increase the survival time of nematodes under oxidative stress, promote the nuclear localization of DAF-16, and enhance the expression of Superoxide Dismutase 3 (SOD-3) in nematodes thereby activating the antioxidant enzyme system. H-2 could affect the survival rate of age-1 and akt-1 mutants under oxidative stress. H-2 could reverse the oxidative stress damage by reducing the reactive oxygen species (ROS) content in the Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) -induced oxidative stress damage model of mouse melanoma cells B16-F10. In addition, it was also able to increase the number of melanocytes in the hair follicles of vitiligo model mice and improve the phenomenon of skin damage in mice. In conclusion, our findings suggest that H-2 can alleviate oxidative stress damage in C. elegans and B16-F10, which may be associated with oxidative stress, suppression of antioxidant defences, and transcription factors DAF-16/FOXO, providing beneficial evidence for the application of H-2 in the vitiligo treatment.

Nano-filler reinforced polymer-based composites have attracted extensive attention in tribology; however, to date, it is still challenging to construct a favorable lubricating system with excellent compatibility, lubricity and durability using nano-filler reinforced polymer-based composites. Herein, sulfonated boron nitride nano-sheets (h-BN@PSDA) are prepared and used as nano-fillers for epoxy resins (EPs), to improve friction and wear along with thermal conductivity. Furthermore, inspired by the lubricating principle and structure of snail mucus, a solvent-free carbon dot-based nanofluid (F-CDs) is fabricated and used for the first time as the lubricant for h-BN@PSDA/EPs. Both poly (4-styrene sulfonate) and polyether amine grafted on the surface of F-CDs contribute to branched structures and multiple interfacial absorption effects. Extraordinarily low friction and wear are detected after long-term sliding. The average coefficient of friction and wear rate of h-BN@PSDA/EPs composites are reduced by 95.25% and 99.42% respectively, in the presence of the F-CD nanofluid, compared to that of EPs. Besides, the added h-BN nano-sheets increase the thermal conductivity (TC) of EPs from 0.178 to 0.194 W (m−1 K−1). The distinguished lubrication performances are likely due to the formation of a hybrid nanostructure of 0D F-CDs and 2D h-BN@PSDA together with the “rolling–sliding” and “self-mending” effects of added F-CDs.

Driven by the rapid development of autonomous vehicles, ultrasensitive photodetectors with high signal-to-noise ratio and ultraweak light detection capability are urgently needed. Due to its intriguing attributes, the emerging van der Waals material, indium selenide (In2Se3), has attracted extensive attention as an ultrasensitive photoactive material. However, the lack of an effective photoconductive gain mechanism in individual In2Se3 inhibits its further application. Herein, we propose a heterostructure photodetector consisting of an In2Se3 photoactive channel, a hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) passivation layer, and a CsPb(Br/I)3 quantum dot gain layer. This device manifests a signal-to-noise ratio of 2 × 106 with responsivity of 2994 A/W and detectivity of 4.3 × 1014 Jones. Especially, it enables the detection of weak light as low as 0.03 μW/cm2. These performance characteristics are ascribed to the interfacial engineering. In2Se3 and CsPb(Br/I)3 with type-II band alignment promote the separation of photocarriers, while h-BN passivates the impurities on CsPb(Br/I)3 and promises a high-quality carrier transport interface. Furthermore, this device is successfully integrated into an automatic obstacle avoidance system, demonstrating promising application prospects in autonomous vehicles.

Gels formed by bio-macromolecules, free of any initiators, crosslinkers, and other chemical additive agents, are prospective environmentally friendly materials. In this work, organohydrogels prepared from chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) without any chemical additive agents are fabricated based on physical crosslink approach and are endowed with anti-freezing and highly stretchable properties. The mechanical properties and phase transition behaviors are investigated. These highly-stretchable organohydrogels display obvious strain and strain rate-dependent tensile properties, where the rupture strain can reach as large as ~ 17. The samples show reversible elasticity at small strains and irreversible plasticity at large strains, accompanied with first a strain softening and then a strain hardening during the stretching process. The cyclic tensile tests present that the samples exhibit residual strain and hysteresis at step loadings, and the rupture behaviors strongly depend on the strain, strain rate, and waiting time. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tests demonstrate that the organohydrogels present only one endothermic melting peak around 60 °C without obvious glass transitions at − 60–60 °C, indicating the stability of the anti-freezing organohydrogels at ultralow temperatures.

A series of hierarchical Ru-Ce/H-ZSM-5 were designed and synthesized using the sol-gel method, and they were applied as catalysts for the catalytic combustion of chlorobenzene. The pore diameter of the catalyst was adjusted using an amount of sodium alginate (SA). Among all of the catalysts synthesized, the 0.8 wt.%Ru-10 wt.%Ce/H-ZSM-5 catalyst with a crystallization recipe of 1SiO 2 : 0.02Al 2 O 3 : 0.15TPAOH: 0.04SA: 40H 2 O (named RCZA-0.04) exhibited the optimal catalytic activity, with the 90% conversion of chlorobenzene at 247 °C. In addition, the RCZA-0.04 catalyst maintained superb stability during a long-term reaction at 325 °C. The results of characterizations demonstrated that RCZA-0.04 possessed the largest mesoporous volume, which reduced the diffusion resistance of chlorobenzene and increased the dispersion of the active components, thereby enhancing the catalytic activities. Moreover, the RCZA-0.04 catalyst possessed a low Brønsted/Lewis ratio, which was conducive to the adsorption of chlorobenzene and the cleavage of the C Cl bond.
