The rational design of heterojunction photocatalysts is essential for overcoming the persistent challenge of charge recombination in solar water-splitting systems. Herein, a step-scheme (S-scheme) AgI/Bi₇O₉I₃ heterojunction was fabricated using a facile one-pot hydrothermal method, where deliberate interfacial engineering enables efficient charge separation and transfer. The optimized heterojunction demonstrated remarkable photocatalytic oxygen (O₂) evolution activity, achieving a rate of 2046.22 μmol·g⁻¹·h⁻¹ under visible-light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm)—3.1 and 1.97 times higher than those of pristine AgI and Bi₇O₉I₃, respectively. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and electron spin resonance (ESR) analyses collectively revealed that a built-in electric field formed at the interface drives the directional migration of electrons from AgI to Bi₇O₉I₃, following an S-scheme charge transfer pathway. This mechanism not only enhances the separation of photogenerated carriers but also preserves strong redox capabilities for the water oxidation reaction. This study presents an effective interfacial engineering strategy for developing high-performance heterojunction photocatalysts and provides fundamental insights into charge behavior in S-scheme photocatalytic systems.

4-Hydroxyquinoline-2(1H)-ones exhibit multiple biological activities, and studying their synthetic methods is of great significance. In the presence of tetramethylguanidine and silver nitrate, 4-hydroxyquinoline-2(1H)-ones were efficiently synthesized from 2-ethynylanilines and carbon dioxide under atmospheric pressure. The reaction conditions, such as types of silver catalysts and reaction solvents, were optimized, and the applicability of the substrate was preliminarily investigated. This method provides an alternative pathway for the synthesis of 4-hydroxyquinoline-2(1H)-ones and the conversion and utilization of carbon dioxide.

Recently, p-type inorganic copper-based compounds have attracted increasing interest as hole-selective layers for crystalline silicon (c-Si) heterojunction solar cells. Among them, copper(I) thiocyanate (CuSCN) has a small valence band offset with c-Si and high stability, however, it has not been explored in c-Si solar cell applications. Herein, we successfully demonstrate that solution-processed CuSCN film acts as an effective hole-selective contact layer for p-Si solar cells. Nevertheless, the p-Si/CuSCN heterostructure suffers from an unsatisfactory surface passivation and a relatively high contact resistivity originated from the uncontrollable vacancy defects in the film. The I − doping of CuSCN film (CuSCN:I − ) not only suppresses the generation of SCN vacancies, but also increases the Cu vacancies, significantly improving the hole selectivity . Moreover, a better energy band alignment is formed based on CuSCN:I − /MoO 3 bilayer for hole selective contact of p-Si substrate, achieving a remarkably high photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of 19.42 %. The PCEs of unencapsulated p-Si/CuSCN heterojunction solar cells maintain over 92 % of the initial values under storing in air atmosphere for 1200 h or after annealing at 350 °C. This work highlights that CuSCN is a very promising hole selective layer with superior stability for c-Si solar cell applications.

By using pyrazine derivatives, three different types of copper(I) iodide based inorganic–organic hybrid structures, 1D-CuI(2-mo-pz) (1, 2-mo-pz = 2-methoxy-pyrazine), 2D-CuI(2,3-dm-pz)0.5 (2, 2,3-dm-pz = 2,3-dimethyl-pyrazine), and 2D-Cu2I2(2,5-dm-pz)2 (3, 2,5-dm-pz = 2,5-dimethyl-pyrazine), have been obtained by using a slow-diffusion method. Single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that these hybrid structures are a one-dimensional (1D) staircase chain based structure, two-dimensional (2D) staircase-chain based structure, and 2D rhomboid dimer based structure, respectively. All of the three compounds show photoluminescence, with the internal quantum yield (IQY) as high as 88.2% for 1. This work provides evidence that for this type of hybrid materials, the structure of the inorganic module could be determined by the selection of the organic ligands and that the substituted group on the organic ligands can influence the luminescence efficiency of the hybrid structures.

Organometal halide perovskites are inexpensive materials with desirable characteristics of color-tunable and narrow-band emissions for lighting and display technology, but they suffer from low photoluminescence quantum yields at low excitation fluencies. Here we developed a ligand-assisted reprecipitation strategy to fabricate brightly luminescent and color-tunable colloidal CH3NH3PbX3 (X = Br, I, Cl) quantum dots with absolute quantum yield up to 70% at room temperature and low excitation fluencies. To illustrate the photoluminescence enhancements in these quantum dots, we conducted comprehensive composition and surface characterizations and determined the time- and temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectra. Comparisons between small-sized CH3NH3PbBr3 quantum dots (average diameter 3.3 nm) and corresponding micrometer-sized bulk particles (2–8 μm) suggest that the intense increased photoluminescence quantum yield originates from the increase of exciton binding energy due to size reduction as well as proper chemical passivations of the Br-rich surface. We further demonstrated wide-color gamut white-light-emitting diodes using green emissive CH3NH3PbBr3 quantum dots and red emissive K2SiF6:Mn4+ as color converters, providing enhanced color quality for display technology. Moreover, colloidal CH3NH3PbX3 quantum dots are expected to exhibit interesting nanoscale excitonic properties and also have other potential applications in lasers, electroluminescence devices, and optical sensors.

Nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (CDs) were synthesized in ethanol media by using citric acid (CA) as the carbon source and ethanediamine (EDA) as the nitrogen source. The obtained CDs were characterized by multiple analytical techniques including high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The prepared CDs can be constructed as a fluorescent probe for the detection of Hg2+ with good sensitivity and selectivity. Upon addition of I−, the fluorescence can be restored due to the strong interaction between Hg2+ and I−. The fluorescence can also be restored with the addition of Br− by changing the buffer solution. The linear ranges and the limits of detection were 0–20 μM and 65 nM for I−, and 0–28 μM and 98 nM for Br−, respectively. In addition, the UV-vis spectrum of this sensing system was studied to validate the detection mechanism of Hg2+, I− and Br−.

Direct quantitative analysis of low-abundance protein biomarkers by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) remains challenging due to poor ionization efficiency and matrix interferences. Herein, we report an ultrasensitive analytical platform, termed CRISPR/Cas12a-mediated liposomal amplification coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (CMLA-MS), that overcomes this limitation by integrating CRISPR/Cas12a-mediated dual-cascade signal amplification with an ESI-MS readout. The strategy converts the detection of poorly ionizable protein molecules into the quantification of numerous, highly ionizable small-molecule reporters: proteins trigger Cas12a trans-cleavage (first amplification), which subsequently cleaves single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) probes anchored to signal-loaded liposomes, causing the burst release of thousands of MS-detectable reporters (second, physical amplification). This dual-amplification strategy enabled an exceptionally low limit of detection (LOD) of 10.8 fg/mL, and the method successfully quantified cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in clinical serum samples with high recoveries (90.3–101.6%).

The solubility of meglumine Form I was systematically determined in 12 pure solvents (methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, ethyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and acetonitrile) using a gravimetric method over the temperature range of 288.15 to 328.15 K. Solubility increased with temperature in all systems, with DMF exhibiting the highest solubility and acetonitrile the lowest. Three thermodynamic models (the modified Apelblat, λh, and van’t Hoff) were employed to correlate the solubility data, among which the modified Apelblat model provided the best fit. The solubility behavior of meglumine Form I was further analyzed using Hirshfeld surface analysis, the Kamlet–Abboud–Taft linear solvation energy relationship (KAT-LSER) model. The results demonstrate that the solvent’s hydrogen-bond acceptor capability is the key determinant of solubility, as it generates sufficiently strong solute–solvent interactions to overcome the robust hydrogen-bond network within the crystal lattice. These findings provide essential thermodynamic data and mechanistic insights for the optimization of meglumine crystallization and formulation processes.

The development of chiral type-I photosensitizers represents a significant advance, as it can not only overcome the hypoxia limitation inherent to conventional type-II agents but also leverage enantioselectivity to enhance therapeutic precision. However, this promising field remains notably underexplored. Herein, we construct chiral supramolecular self-assemblies via hydrogen-bonding interactions between l/d-arginine (l/d-Arg) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS). The proximity of the electron-donating porphyrin core to the arginine moiety facilitates efficient photoinduced electron transfer, enabling l/d-Arg-TPPS to operate via simultaneous type-I and type-II pathways. This dual mechanism ensures robust generation of superoxide radicals (O2•–) even under hypoxic conditions, addressing a key limitation of conventional porphyrin photosensitizers. Moreover, the self-assembly process drives effective supramolecular chirality induction, endowing TPPS with substantial dissymmetry factors (gabs) of ∼2.1 × 10–4. This chiral signature translates to significant biological enantioselectivity. d-Arg-TPPS achieves 3.87-fold greater cellular uptake and 1.85-fold higher intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production than l-Arg-TPPS, resulting in markedly enhanced chirality-specific antitumor activity. Importantly, l/d-Arg-TPPS also elicits a chirality-dependent immunogenic cell death (ICD) response, facilitating antitumor immunity. This work establishes a supramolecular chiral-engineering strategy that integrates hypoxia-tolerant photodynamic behavior with stereoselective nanobio interactions, advancing both the fundamental understanding and therapeutic potential of photosensitizer design.

The Warburg effect drives cancer cells to rely preferentially on glycolysis, resulting in diminished mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). This metabolic phenotype limits the ability of excess copper (Cu) ions to trigger cuproptosis in dysfunctional mitochondria, leading to suboptimal therapeutic outcomes. Therefore, remodeling tumor energy metabolism to counteract the Warburg effect represents a pivotal strategy to enhance cuproptosis efficacy. Herein, we developed a Cu(I)-stabilized metal-organic framework nanoplatform (CuTz-1) encapsulated by Azurin (CuTz-1@Azurin) as a cuproptosis sensitizer. Mechanistically, Azurin increases p53 protein levels by intercepting MDM2-mediated ubiquitin-proteasome degradation. Elevated p53 subsequently inhibits pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) activity, suppressing glycolysis, while simultaneously promoting mitochondrial OXPHOS—collectively shifting cellular metabolism from glycolysis toward mitochondrial respiration and sensitizing tumor cells to Cu-induced proteotoxic stress. In addition, CuTz-1@Azurin triggers oxidative stress via reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and glutathione (GSH) depletion, which act together with p53-mediated apoptosis to suppress tumor growth. Meanwhile, the oxidation of Cu(I) to paramagnetic Cu(II) enables real-time monitoring of the therapeutic process by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate good antitumor performance of CuTz-1@Azurin. This study highlights the potential of Azurin-mediated metabolic regulation as a promising strategy to potentiate cuproptosis for combined cancer therapy.

The solubility data of nimesulide (form I) in different mono- and mixed solvents over the temperature range from 273.15 to 318.15 K are determined. In this work, it is further studied to improve the solubility data of nimesulide (form I) and analyze the intermolecular force. The solubility profiles in mono- and mixed solvents are correlated by some thermodynamic models. The results of statistical analysis show that all selected models could provide a good correlation of the dissolution profile for nimesulide in selected solvents at all investigated temperatures. At 318.15 K, the largest solubility in mole fraction is obtained in acetone (7.812 × 10–2), followed by 2-butanone (6.334 × 10–2), cyclohexanone (4.977 × 10–2), ethyl acetate (3.803 × 10–2), tetrahydrofuran (3.651 × 10–2), acetonitrile (2.975 × 10–2), ethanol (2.169 × 10–3), toluene (1.788 × 10–3), isobutanol (1.348 × 10–3), isopropanol (1.201 × 10–3), and propylene glycol (PG, 6.764 × 10–4). However, in mixtures of (ethyl acetate + isopropanol), the solubility data increase with the increase of the mass fraction of ethyl acetate at a given temperature. The effect of solute–solvent interactions on the solid–liquid phase equilibrium of the solute is discussed with the solvent properties. The calculation of preferential solvation parameters shows that solute molecules are preferentially solvated by isopropanol in isopropanol-rich regions and as the mass fraction of ethyl acetate increases, nimesulide is preferentially solvated by ethyl acetate. Studying the dissolution process of nimesulide is of great practical significance for its purification.

Sillen compounds with the general formula of PbBiO2X (X = Cl, Br, I) are frequently studied as photocatalysts, and have attracted widespread attention due to their degradation of organic contaminants and water oxidation under visible light irradiation. Among many photoelectric materials, the band gap has been reduced approaching to the optimum value by pressure (1.34 eV for photovoltaic materials according to the Shockley–Queisser limit), which is favorable to their photo-responsive applications. However, such enhanced properties are usually restored after the pressure is released. Here, by combining the pressure and chemical engineering tools, we discovered that the optimized structure and optical band gap of PbBiO2Br could be locked after compression–decompression treatment cycling by selecting appropriate elemental species. The pressure-induced strain retention in PbBiO2Br could be the cause of the structural and optical irreversible behavior. Moreover, the compression behavior and optical band gap under high pressure in the PbBiO2X system were studied systematically by in situ high pressure synchrotron X-ray diffraction, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and resistivity experiments. Along with the enhanced photocurrent under compression, the PbBiO2X compounds under external pressure exhibited great potential for photocatalytic applications under solar light irradiation. In a suitable element category, the pressure-driven structural lock-in preserves its optical performance, opening up a new window for manipulating and filtrating better multifunctional materials.
