A novel substitute for perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), 6:2 Chlorinated polyfluoroalkyl ether acid (6:2 Cl-PFAES, F-53B), has been widely used in the electroplating and firefighting industries, raising concerns due to increasing environmental prevalence. This study systematically investigated the adsorption characteristics of F-53B by coconut shell activated carbon (CSAC) and elucidated the underlying mechanisms through adsorption kinetics, isotherm modeling, and multi-scale characterization. Results show that the maximum adsorption capacity of CSAC for F-53B reached 261.64 mg/g, with the process best described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R 2 > 0.97) and the Langmuir isotherm (R 2 > 0.94). Intraparticle diffusion modeling revealed a three-stage adsorption sequence: surface adsorption (0–2 h), pore diffusion (2–8 h), and dynamic equilibrium (8–48 h). Solution pH influenced adsorption efficiency by regulating surface charge. Under acidic conditions (pH < point of zero charge, pHzpc = 4.49), strong electrostatic interactions between protonated CSAC surfaces and anionic F-53B resulted in an 85% removal efficiency. In contrast, alkaline conditions (pH > 7) led to a 70% reduction in adsorption efficiency ( p < 0.05) due to electric repulsion. The microporous-dominated structure of CSAC (specific surface area: 857.69 m 2 /g; pore volume: 0.34 cm 3 /g) facilitated synergistic adsorption mechanisms. Oxygen-containing functional groups (C-O, -OH) promoted hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions, enhancing F-53B adsorption. Besides, CSAC is optimized for emergency scenarios, it achieves 99.9% removal efficiency for 1 mg/L F-53B within 8 h at room temperature, with a maximum capacity of 261.64 mg/g; also, it maintains > 85% removal efficiency under wide pH conditions and tolerates coexisting ions (e.g., Cl − , SO 4 2− , Ca 2+ ).This study highlights the multi-mechanistic synergy of CSAC in theremoval of F-53B, providing theoretical foundations and technical insights for biochar-based remediation of emerging contaminants.

The efficient hydroxyalkylation of phenol with formaldehyde to bisphenol F over a thermoregulated phase-separable reaction system containing a water-soluble Brønsted acidic ionic liquid was studied. The reaction system containing the water-soluble IL showed thermoregulated biphasic behavior with change of the alkyl chain length of IL, temperature and water amount. Four types of imidazolium-, ammonium-, phosphonium- and pyridinium-based water-soluble ionic liquids with different anions of dihydrogen phosphate [H2PO4]−, acetate [CH3COO]− and hydrogen sulfate [HSO4]− were used as both Brønsted acidic catalysts and thermoregulated solvents. Among them, [C6MIM][HSO4] gave a high yield of 80.5% and a selectivity of 96.9% for bisphenol F, and the optimal reaction conditions were stirring speed 450 rpm, phenol–formaldehyde ratio 6 : 1, IL catalyst molar concentration 12.5%, reaction temperature 90 °C and reaction time 1 h. [C6MIM][HSO4] could be recovered by simple decantation and could retain its original activity even after six recycling-uses [CnMIM][HSO4] with the alkyl chain length n = 6 found to be the most suitable for the synthesis of bisphenol F because of both the formation of a thermoregulated monophasic reaction system at 90 °C to enhance the reaction efficiency and as a thermoregulated phase-transition solvent to facilitate its recovery from the reaction system.

Existing antithrombotic drugs have side effects such as bleeding, and there is an urgent need to discover antithrombotic drugs with better efficacy and fewer side effects. In this study, a zebrafish thrombosis model was used to evaluate the antithrombotic activity and mechanism of Brevianamide F, a deep-sea natural product, with transcriptome sequencing analysis, RT-qPCR analysis, and molecular docking. The results revealed that Brevianamide F significantly attenuated the degree of platelet aggregation in the thrombus model zebrafish, leading to an increase in the number of circulating platelets, an augmentation in the return of blood to the heart, an elevated heart rate, and a significant restoration of caudal blood flow velocity. Transcriptome sequencing and RT-qPCR validation revealed that Brevianamide F may exert antithrombotic effects through the modulation of the MAPK signaling pathway and the coagulation cascade reaction. Molecular docking analysis further confirmed this result. This study provides a reference for the development of therapeutic drugs for thrombosis.

To achieve a synergistic enhancement of both energy output and safety performance in metal powder-based high-energy materials, this study employed coaxial focusing droplet technology to fabricate HMX/TiH 2 /F composite microspheres. The influence of dispersed phase concentration on microsphere morphology and particle size was systematically investigated. HMX/F and HMX/Ti/F microspheres, prepared using the same method, served as control groups for analyzing crystal structure and functional group composition. Results indicated that all three types of microspheres retained their original chemical structures. Performance tests revealed that HMX/TiH 2 /F microspheres achieved a favorable balance between thermal stability and reactivity, with thermal safety significantly improved compared to the control samples. Specifically, its impact sensitivity increased by 8 J and 13 J compared to HMX/F and HMX/Ti/F, respectively; friction sensitivity increased by 164 N and 228 N; and electrostatic accumulation was reduced by 1.46 and 16.40 nC, respectively, demonstrating superior mechanical and electrostatic safety. Combustion and detonation tests further demonstrated that HMX/TiH 2 /F microspheres exhibited the most intense combustion flame. The ignition delay time was reduced by 67.48 ms and 26.20 ms compared to HMX/F and HMX/Ti/F, respectively, and the combustion duration was shortened by 0.51 s and 0.42 s. Meanwhile, HMX/TiH 2 /F composite microspheres still maintained a high energy output, and the measured detonation velocity was 7685.7 m/s, which was 149.99 m/s higher than that of HMX/Ti/F. These findings indicate that the incorporation of TiH 2 facilitates the coordinated optimization of high-energy materials with respect to both safety and energetic performance, demonstrating promising application potential.

Bisphenol S (BPS) and Bisphenol F (BPF), as alternatives to bisphenol A (BPA), are recognized for their endocrine-disrupting properties, but their combined immune toxicity mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study systematically evaluates the individual and joint immune toxicity effects of BPS and BPF through ADMET predictions, transgenic zebrafish models, and molecular docking analyses. The results indicate that equal effect concentration BPS and BPF act through distinct immune pathways: BPS primarily targets macrophages to mediate immune responses, while BPF significantly stimulates neutrophil proliferation and induces a stronger inflammatory response through chemokine signaling. Molecular docking studies show that BPF binds more stably to pro-apoptotic protein Mapk8 and oxidative stress-related protein Hsp90aa1, leading to significantly higher levels of apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) compared to BPS. The similarity of modes of action (MOA)between BPS and BPF based on relevant immune indicators calculated and experimentally is about 0.3; this quantitative result also proves that modes of action differ widely. Nonetheless, most of the indicators showed superimposed effects in the combined experiments, and it is noteworthy that the oxidative stress indicators (SOD, MDA) showed synergistic effects, suggesting that BPS and BPF, which have very different modes of action, are able to be risk assessed using an additive model with respect to immunity, but may exhibit synergistic risks with respect to oxidative stress. This research demonstrates that BPS and BPF induce immune toxicity via different molecular targets and pathways and highlights the need to account for their synergistic effects in risk assessments. These findings provide important insights into the immune toxicity mechanisms of BPA substitutes and the potential risks of combined exposures.

4-Nitrophenol (4-NP), a hazardous chemical compound, presents significant risks to ecological balance, public well-being, and the integrity of the food supply chain. Consequently, the development of detection techniques characterized by both efficiency and precision is of utmost importance. In the present work, ZnCo(OH)F/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composite was synthesized through a hydrothermal approach, followed by a high-temperature annealing process to transform them into ZnCo 2 O 4 /MWCNTs tailored for electrochemical sensing of 4-NP. The integration of MWCNTs during the fabrication process induced a pronounced synergistic interaction between ZnCo 2 O 4 and MWCNTs, leading to a substantial enhancement in the electrochemical performance of the composite. The ZnCo 2 O 4 /MWCNTs-based sensors exhibit notable benefits, including an expanded electrochemically active surface area, superior electrical conductivity, and exceptional selectivity. Under optimized experimental parameters (S/N = 3), the sensor exhibited a broad linear detection range (0.5–600 μM), coupled with a lower limit of detection of 0.026 μM. When used on real samples, the sensor showed recovery rates of 98.79 %–100.47 %, indicating its feasibility for practical use in environmental monitoring and food safety evaluation.

Due to the known adverse effects of bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol F (BPF) and bisphenol S (BPS) have been widely adopted as substitutes. However, they are now detected at significant levels globally, often at levels rivaling or exceeding those of BPA, raises concerns regarding their potential ecological and health risks. Our previous work indicated that BPS exhibits lower toxicity than BPF in Chinese medaka (Oryzias sinensis). To validate this, we compared their toxicity in Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) using both acute and developmental exposure tests. In the 96-hr acute test, embryos exposed to concentration gradient showed a BPF median lethal concentration of 128 mg/L, while BPS exposure resulted in high survival even at the highest concentrations. Based on the observed acute toxicity, we investigated the underlying mechanism of BPF and evaluated vitamin C rescue. Vitamin C treatment effectively improved embryos survival rates. Subsequently, in the 15-day developmental exposure, 2 μg/L BPF significantly increased yolk sac edema and malformation rates. Bisphenol exposure did not show concentration-dependent malformation increases. Transcriptomic analysis revealed BPF induced more differentially expressed genes (DEGs) than BPS at the tested concentrations (0.02, 0.2, 2 μg/L): 177, 14 and 24 DEGs were identified in BPF-treated groups, respectively. In contrast, only 4, 2, and 12 DEGs were detected in the corresponding BPS-treated groups. Further analysis of the Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways enrichments provided further insights into the potential toxicological mechanisms of BPF. This study provides a comparative toxicity assessment of BPF and BPS, elucidates BPF's acute and developmental toxicity pathways, and offers toxicological data for risk assessment and regulation, which also provides a direction for in-depth research on toxicity mechanisms.

In order to avoid potential environmental and safety problems caused by conventional flame retardants , we synthesized the flame-retardant-element-free copolyesters via chemically incorporating the structural units of bisphenol A and bisphenol F into the PET main chain via melt polymerization, respectively. The chemical structures of resulting copolyesters were confirmed by 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. Interestingly, though there exists only a small structural difference between bisphenol A and bisphenol F, those two kinds of copolyesters show different thermal stabilities, pyrolysis behaviours and flame retardant performances. Pyrolysis-GC/MS tests were performed to investigate the pyrolysis mechanism of the copolyesters, and the results showed that the “Ar–CH 2 –Ar” structure units (bisphenol F) would lead to rearrangement reactions at high temperature, ultimately forming the phenanthrene ring structures; whereas “Ar–C(CH 3 ) 2 −Ar” structure units (bisphenol A) could not. The corresponding specific pyrolysis processes are proposed. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results indicated that these rearrangement reactions would most likely occur in the solid state of the copolyesters and made them have high residues. Cone calorimeter measurements, LOI and vertical UL-94 tests were used to characterize the flame-retardant properties of the copolyesters, and the results proved that the copolyesters containing bisphenol F had better flame retardancy, more char formation and less melt drippings than those containing bisphenol A due to the rearrangement reactions.

The luminescent hydroxyapatite nanorods co-doped with Eu 3+ and F − (named as FAp:Eu 3+ ) were synthesized through liquid-solid-solution strategy to control their size and morphology as well as improve their fluorescence. However, these luminescent FAp:Eu 3+ nanorods are hydrophobic nature and cannot be directly used for biomedical applications. In this work, we developed a novel strategy for surface modification of FAp:Eu 3+ nanorods with the combination of the surface ligand exchange reaction and photo-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (photo-RAFT) polymerization using the biocompatible and hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA) as the monomer. We demonstrated that the photo-RAFT polymerization is a facile and efficient route to fabricate hydrophilic FAp:Eu 3+ -polyPEGMA composites based on a series of characterization techniques. The FAp:Eu 3+ -polyPEGMA composites still well maintained the morphology and luminescent properties. Furthermore, the resultant FAp:Eu 3+ -polyPEGMA composites showed low cytotoxicity and desirable cell uptake behavior. These features suggested that the FAp:Eu 3+ -polyPEGMA composites are of great potential for biological imaging applications. More importantly, the photo-RAFT polymerization should be promising for preparation of many other luminescent nanocomposites owing to their advantages of photo-RAFT polymerization such as low polymerization temperature, high efficiency, absence of metal catalysts and good monomer applicability. It is therefore, the photo-RAFT could be extended for fabrication of many other multifunctional fluorescent composites for different biomedical applications.

Light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) have good prospects in the solid-state lighting field due to their simple single-layer structure and low manufacturing cost. However, the lack of high-efficiency blue LECs limits their development and further application. To solve this problem, many luminescent materials with various mechanisms such as fluorescence, phosphorescence, and thermally-activated delayed fluorescence are studied as emitters in LECs. Besides these materials, herein lanthanide europium(II) (Eu(II)) complex with d-f transition is demonstrated as a new type of emitter for LECs. In detail, a blue emitting Eu(II) complex bis[hydrotris(3-tert-butylpyrazolyl)borate]europium(II) is dispersed into 9-(3-(triphenylsilyl)phenyl)-9H-3,9′-bicarbazole host and tetrahexylammonium tetrafluoroborate electrolyte to make a blend film, which attains a high photoluminescence quantum yield of ≈100%. The LEC using the blend film as an active layer achieves a blue emission with Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage coordinates of (0.12, 0.18) and a record-breaking external quantum efficiency of 19.8%, corresponding to an exciton utilization efficiency of ≈100%. This work reveals that Eu(II) complex with d-f transition is a promising emitter toward high-performance blue LECs, which can inspire further research on Eu(II) complex based LECs.

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) refers to a molecular subtype of breast cancers (BC) with high rate of distant metastases and poor prognosis. Epirubicin (EPI) is widely used for the therapy of TNBC but it’s limited in clinical use due to cardiotoxicity and chemotherapy resistance. We previously identified F-α-DDB-derivative, a novel synthetic of bifendate, as a potential agent to improve the therapeutic efficacy of TNBC in combination with EPI since F-α-DDB-derivative inhibited MDA-MB-468, but not as much as EPI. In this study, we investigated the antitumor activity of F-α-DDB-derivative in combination with EPI against TNBC in vitro and in vivo and whether co-treatment would induce additional cardiotoxicity. In human TNBC MDA-MB-468 cells, application of F-α-DDB-derivative (11.5, 23.0, 46.0 μg/ml) in combination with EPI (1.5, 3.0, 6.0 μg/ml) exhibited great inhibition on cell viability and cell proliferation. Additionally, F-α-DDB-derivative (5.75, 11.5, 23.0, 46.0 μg/ml) interacted with EPI (0.75, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0 μg/ml) synergistically to induce apoptosis in MDA-MB-468 cells. This suggests that F-α-DDB-derivative may be more sensitive to apoptotic pathways. Furthermore, we revealed that co-administration of EPI and F-α-DDB-derivative (ip, once every other day for 14 days) significantly increased the therapeutic efficacy of EPI (2.0 mg/kg) or F-α-DDB-derivative (20.0 mg/kg) in mice harboring MDA-MB-468 cell xenografts without additional cardiotoxicity compared to that in EPI monotherapy group. These results implicate that co-treatment of EPI and F-α-DDB-derivative may be a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of TNBC.

A portable platform for the visual determination of F− and Al3+ was developed by combining FeNPs@g-C3N4 nano-enzyme and a smartphone. The FeNPs@g-C3N4 nano-enzyme with excellent peroxidase activity was synthesized through the in situ growth of Fe nanoparticles (FeNPs) on graphite-phase carbon nitride nanosheets (g-C3N4), which could catalyze H2O2 to oxidize TMB to blue oxide (oxTMB). The peroxidase activity of the FeNPs@g-C3N4 nano-enzyme could be inhibited by F−, and then restored by Al3+ because of the coordination reaction between Fe3+/Al3+ and F−. Furthermore, the solution color could be dynamically manipulated by changing the concentrations of F− and Al3+. Under optimal conditions, the developed method gave low detection limits of 2.43 nM for F− and 7.66 μM for Al3+. The cooperation of nano-enzyme and smartphone has greatly shortened the detection time and reduced the cost of detection, providing a new strategy for the on-site and convenient detection of F− and Al3+ in tea, and showed significant application potential in food safety evaluation.
