Biological-material-functionalized porous monoliths were prepared with lactoferrin and β-cyclodextrin via a click reaction. With the monolith as an extraction medium, a method combined with ICP-MS was developed for the determination of total gallium originating from metabolic residues of orally bioavailable gallium complexes with tris(8-quinolinolato)gallium (GaQ3) as a representative. The method exhibited favorable adsorption behaviors for gallium with high selectivity, low detection limit (2 ng L–1), and an enrichment factor of 29-fold with the sample throughput of 30 min–1. The developed approach was validated by the analysis of gallium from GaQ3 metabolic residues in a human cell line. Additionally, the practical applicability of this method was evaluated by the determination of gallium in human blood and urine samples from cancer patients. Results illustrated that the prepared monolith had potential in Ga-based anticancer drug analysis in complex biological samples.

ZSM-5 is considered to have great potential in the catalytic synthesis of Trioxane (TOX), and the effect of acidity on TOX selectivity was explored. [Al]-MFI-50, [B]-MFI-50, Platelike [Ga]-MFI-50 and a series of [Ga]-MFI-y materials were investigated by XRF, XRD, XPS, SEM, NH 3 -TPD, BET, Py-FTIR, 71 Ga MAS NMR and 1 H MAS NMR. According to the results, it is clear that the Ga-MFI have a better effect on the selective of TOX compared with the [Al]-MFI, Platelike [Ga]-MFI-50 and [B]-MFI. This is mainly due to the change in the ratio of Brønsted acid density to Lewis acid density (B/L ratio), and the selectivity of TOX increases with the B/L ratio. Moreover, the percentage increase in density of Brønsted acid is less than that of Lewis acid when the ratio of Si atoms to Ga atoms is decreased. So the ratio of Brønsted acid density to Lewis acid density(B/L ratio) decreases. [Ga]-MFI-50 exhibited better catalytic performance among all catalysts with a selectivity of 97.79% for TOX.

In this study, we crafted nitrogen-laden microspheres known as PEI-GA, employing a straightforward, single-step synthesis at ambient temperature. We further validated their capacity as autonomous adsorbents, capable of achieving efficient, targeted, and swift extraction of gold ions (Au(III)) from aqueous media. The high nitrogen content of PEI, combined with its electrochemical adsorption ability, enables effective adsorption and reduction of Au(III) ions into gold nanoparticles, significantly enhancing the adsorption capacity and selectivity. PEI-GA exhibits an ultra-fast adsorption rate, achieving over 99 % Au(III) recovery in just 1 min at a concentration of 100 mg/L (m/V = 0.5 g/L). Moreover, even at higher concentrations (300 mg/L), the process only takes 5 min. The maximum adsorption capacity of PEI-GA reaches 2078 mg/g, following the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics. PEI-GA also demonstrates excellent selectivity and recyclability, recovering over 95 % of gold ions from simulated e-waste solutions and maintaining 90 % recovery efficiency after five cycles. DFT calculations suggest that AuCl₄ − tends to form multicentric coordination with N atoms in PEI-GA. This study highlights the cost-effectiveness of PEI-GA for Au(III) recovery, which can be further optimized through calcination or regeneration.

Lithium (Li), gallium (Ga), and rare earth elements (REEs) are essential in various industries due to their wide range of applications, and extraction of rare metals from coal fly ash (CFA) has become a hot topic in recent years. This study investigates the simultaneous leaching of Li, Ga, and REEs from CFA using both inorganic and organic acids. High leaching efficiencies, exceeding 90%, were achieved for Li (90.4%), Ga (90.5%), and REEs (92.7%) with 3 M HCl leaching. The leaching efficiency of citric acid is lower, but it can achieve a leaching rate of 70–80% at low concentration (0.5 M). A novel two-stage acid leaching approach is proposed for the selective leaching of Li and Ga from CFA. In the first step, 1 M HCl leaching results in the leaching of most Li (71.12%) and a small amount of Ga (2.63%). Subsequently, 2 M HCl leaching led to the leaching of a small amount of Li (18.14%) and most of Ga (83.93%). The silicic acid gel produced during low HCl concentration leaching exhibited a stronger affinity for Ga 3+ than for Li + , with significantly higher adsorption energy for Ga (−211.554 kcal/mol) compared to that for Li (−3.481 kcal/mol). This two-stage acid leaching process ingeniously utilized H 2 SiO 3 to achieve the selective separation and leaching of Li and Ga.

Cancer vaccines, a critical technology in cancer immunotherapy, have shown great therapeutic potential. However, traditional vaccines based on tumor cell lysates (TCLs) have shown disappointing results in early clinical trials due to low immunogenicity, in vivo instability, and the inability to codeliver with adjuvants. To address these issues, we developed a nanoparticle vaccine, R848-GA@TCLs, by modifying the toll-like receptor 7/8 (TLR7/8) agonist R848 with gallic acid. This nanovaccine leverages the “capturing” ability of the galloyl moiety to coload TCLs and R848, forming stable nanoparticles. R848-GA@TCLs efficiently target lymph nodes, increasing TCL accumulation 10-fold, and enable the synchronized release of antigens and adjuvants within dendritic cells (DCs). Our results show that R848-GA@TCLs increase with respect to the cross-presentation of tumor antigens, promote the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and activate DCs, leading to a significant increase in effector T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and M1 macrophages. This strong immune response resulted in potent antitumor effects, with R848-GA@TCLs demonstrating efficacy in multiple tumor models by significantly inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis. In conclusion, R848-GA@TCLs represent a personalized cancer vaccine capable of codelivering TCLs and adjuvants, eliciting robust antitumor immune responses, and hold great potential for clinical applications.

The increasing demand for plastics has resulted in significant plastic waste accumulation and environmental pollution . Catalytic pyrolysis is an attractive treatment method to mitigate the plastic waste management problems and recover high-value oil products. In our study, waste polyethylene (PE) was pyrolyzed to produce benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX)-enriched oil a using dielectric barrier discharge plasma catalytic pyrolysis reactor. Ga-modified Hydro-Zeolite Socony Mobile-Five (HZSM-5) was used as a pyrolysis catalyst. The effects of the PE to Ga/HZSM-5 ratio and discharge power on BTEX enhancement and carbon deposition are discussed. The greatest BTEX selectivity (77.04%) and relatively low coke yield (1.37%) were achieved when the PE/(Ga/HZSM-5) ratio was 2:1 with a non-thermal plasma (NTP) discharge power of 20 W. The regeneration effects of conventional thermal oxidation and NTP on the zeolite catalyst were compared. NTP regeneration at a low temperature (150 °C) achieved the same coke removal rate as that of thermal regeneration at high temperatures (500 °C). Ga/HZSM-5 subjected to NTP regeneration showed higher activity for BTEX formation (BTEX selectivity was 42.10%) as compared to that shown by Ga/HZSM-5 subjected to thermal regeneration (BTEX selectivity was 40.59%). The NTP synergistic catalytic pyrolysis of plastics over Ga/HZSM-5 was found to be a promising strategy for mitigating the plastic waste management problems and upgrading the quality of oil products.

A bio-based epoxy monomer (GA-II) was synthesized from renewable gallic acid. The aromatic group contained made it capable of being absorbed onto the surface of graphene via strong π–π interactions, which was proven by Raman spectra and UV spectra. The GA-II anchored graphene was easily homogeneously dispersed in the epoxy resin. After solidification, the graphene/epoxy composites demonstrated superior performances in terms of good mechanical properties, excellent thermal conductivity, as well as high electrical conductivity. With the addition of only 2 wt% GA-II/graphene, the tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength and flexural modulus of the composites were improved by 27%, 47%, 9% and 21%, respectively. The thermal and electrical conductivities were also improved by 12-fold (from 0.15 to 1.8 W m−1 K−1) and 8 orders (from 7.0 × 10−15 to 3.28 × 10−5 s cm−1), respectively. This work provided us with an environmentally friendly agent with high efficiency for graphene dispersion and demonstrated an efficient method for fabricating epoxy/graphene composites with superior properties.

Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP) with a unique 3D open NASICON framework is regarded as an attractive electrode material in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its wide range of Na + accommodations. Nevertheless, the practical implementation of NVP is hampered by the unsatisfying capabilities and cycling stability at high rates of charging/discharging, which attribute to low electron/ion conductivities. Herein, a novel NVP@carbon/N-doped graphene aerogel (NVP@C/N-GA) is designed via a facile precursor infiltration followed by the post-heating treatment process. In this delicate design, the 3D porous and interconnected framework endows with bicontinuous ion/electron transport pathways for the rapid electrochemical reaction ; while the carbon layer combined with N doped graphene aerogel (N-GA) provides long-range conductive networks throughout the whole electrode and ensure the cycling stability. Consequently, the NVP@C/N-GA electrode is shown to achieve unprecedented rate capabilities and outstanding ultralong cycling stability as cathode (74.1 mA h g −1 at 100 C; 84% capacity retention at 20 C after 12,000 cycles) and anode (109.3 mA h g −1 at 20 C; 87% capacity retention at 20 C after 5000 cycles), both of them outperforms the majority of previously reported literature. Moreover, the symmetric full cell assembled by NVP@C/N-GA also demonstrates admirable electrochemical properties . Thus, this work may provide new avenues for constructing electrodes with high rate capability and ultralong-life.

Combined therapy with anti-inflammatory drugs is preferred for the topical treatment of psoriasis , but the codelivery of drugs is restricted due to the lack of a suitable delivery system. Ethosomes with excellent transdermal properties are perfect as carriers for hyperplastic skin. Therefore, glycyrrhetinic acid-D-α-tocopherol acid polyethylene glycol succinate (GA-TPGS) was synthesized, which prevented the inflammation and lipid peroxidation damage, thus effectively stabilizing the psoriasis . Then GA-TPGS was surface-modified on the curcumin (Cur) loaded ethosomes to construct curcumin-loaded GA-TPGS-modified multifunctional ethosomes (Cur@GA-TPGS-ES), exerting synergistic treatment for psoriasis. Using an interleukin-6-induced cell model, we found that Cur@GA-TPGS-ES displayed desirable suppression of inflammation response and oxidative stress damage. Compared with the ethanol solution, the percutaneous penetration rates of Cur and GA in Cur@GA-TPGS-ES were superior. In vivo microdialysis revealed similar results, suggesting an increase of transcutaneous absorption in Cur@GA-TPGS-ES. Fluorescence staining revealed that the cellular uptake and skin distribution were distinctly enhanced with the delivery by Cur@GA-TPGS-ES. After topical administration to imiquimod-induced psoriatic mice, the Cur@GA-TPGS-ES group showed powerful treatment from inflammatory infiltration inhibition of Cur, glucocorticoid-like effects of GA and anti-lipid peroxidation of TPGS. Overall, GA-TPGS mediated ethosomes possess more advantageous transdermal properties and synergistic antipsoriatic efficacy.

A structural design strategy was employed to develop NaGd2Ga2InGe2O12:Sm3+ (NGGIG:Sm3+) garnet phosphors, optimizing the local coordination environment to enhance luminescence performance. By tailoring site occupation, Sm3+ ions were incorporated into an asymmetric crystal field, where a statistical probability model confirmed that ∼97% of Sm3+ ions reside in distorted coordination environments, promoting electric dipole(ED) transitions. The phosphors exhibit a high red-to-orange (R/O) intensity ratio of 2.97, contributing to enhanced red emission. CIE chromaticity coordinates of (0.61, 0.39) indicate a significant shift toward the red region, and the phosphors retain over 70% of their luminescence intensity at 400 K, demonstrating good thermal stability. These characteristics make NGGIG:Sm3+ a promising candidate for high-performance red phosphors in solid-state lighting applications, highlighting the effectiveness of site engineering in garnet structures for optimizing luminescence efficiency and stability.

Environment-friendly indium phosphide (InP)-based quantum dots (QDs) with efficient red-emitting properties are sufficiently needed to satisfy the requirement of burgeoning display and lighting technology. Currently, the syntheses of InP QDs using tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphine as the precursor are highly toxic and expensive. Herein, we successfully introduced gallium (Ga) ions into tris(dimethylamino)phosphine-based red InP cores through thermally-promoted cation exchange, and the obtained Ga-doped InP cores exhibited significantly increased photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY) of up to 26%. The existence of Ga was directly confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the functions of Ga were systematically studied. After subsequent coating of Ga-doped InP cores with ZnSeS and ZnS shells, the resulting Ga-InP/ZnSeS/ZnS QDs achieved a high PLQY of 62% with an emission maximum at 640 nm. In contrast, without Ga-doping, the PLQY only attained 36% using the same synthetic approach. This indicated an approximate 1.7-fold increase in PLQY. The enhancement of photoluminescence was related to the Ga 3+ , as it not only passivated surface defects of InP cores but also reduced core-shell interface stress. The Ga-InP/ZnSeS/ZnS QDs exhibited good stability towards heat treatment and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Moreover, the red light-emitting diode (LED) based on Ga-InP/ZnSeS/ZnS QDs performed well in a wide injected current range of 2 to 200 mA, with a maximum power efficiency of 0.68 lm/W. This work showcases Ga-doping through cation exchange as a promising strategy for enhancing the efficiency of InP-based red emitters.

Beta-phase gallium sesquioxide ( β -Ga 2 O 3 ), possessing an ultrawide bandgap and high breakdown voltage, exhibits strong potential for deep-ultraviolet photodetection and high-power electronics. However, nanometer-scale line defects, prevalent in β -Ga 2 O 3 growth, degrade device performance by increasing leakage currents and reducing breakdown voltages, thus termed “killer defects”. Critically, the impact of these defects at the atomic scale remains unclear due to limited characterization and a lack of detailed understanding. Here, the observation of novel conductive atomic line defects is reported within β -Ga 2 O 3 nanoflakes using near-field infrared imaging. Combining atomic-resolution imaging with density functional theory calculations, these defects are identified as interstitial Ga atoms migrating along the c -axis. These atomic line defects exhibit a broadband infrared response and quenched cathodoluminescence, indicative of significantly enhanced local conductivity. This elevated conductivity enables subsurface near-field detection of the defects and remote excitation of phonon polaritons in a hexagonal boron nitride ( h BN) capping layer. These findings underscore the distinct conductivity of atomic-scale line defects, emphasizing the need for their controlled management during material synthesis and device fabrication, while simultaneously suggesting opportunities for their exploitation in nanophotonic applications.
