(K,Na)NbO 3 based ceramics are considered to be one of the most promising lead-free ferroelectrics replacing Pb(Zr,Ti)O 3 . Despite extensive studies over the last two decades, the mechanism for the enhanced piezoelectricity in multi-elements doped (K,Na)NbO 3 ceramics has not been fully understood. Here, we combine temperature-dependent synchrotron x-ray diffraction and property measurements, atomic-scale scanning transmission electron microscopy, and first-principle and phase-field calculations to establish the dopant–structure–property relationship for multi-elements doped (K,Na)NbO 3 ceramics. Our results indicate that the dopants induced tetragonal phase and the accompanying high-density nanoscale heterostructures with low-angle polar vectors are responsible for the high dielectric and piezoelectric properties. This work explains the mechanism of the high piezoelectricity recently achieved in (K,Na)NbO 3 ceramics and provides guidance for the design of high-performance ferroelectric ceramics, which is expected to benefit numerous functional materials.

High-entropy pyrochlore oxide (Y,Dy,Ce,Nd,La) 2 Sn 2 O 7 has been synthesized by the co-precipitation method. EDS and XPS analysis demonstrated the high-entropy structure in M 2 Sn 2 O 7 (M = Y, Dy, Ce, Nd, La) ultrafine powders, which is developed as the active material in lithium anode. The effects of different binders on the cycling performance and rate capability were discussed. Benefiting from the synergistic effects of high-entropy system and the strong intermolecular force provided by the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) system, the optimized M 2 Sn 2 O 7 /CMC (M = Y, Dy, Ce, Nd, La) delivers a high initial discharge capacity of about 766 mAh g −1 and exhibits excellent cycle stability. A reversible capacity of 396 mAh g −1 and superior delivering retention of ~ 100% can be obtained at 100 mA g −1 after 100 cycles. Meanwhile, the capacity retention rate of 54.5% can still be reached after the cycling at various current densities from 0.05 to 1 A g −1 , demonstrating potential application prospect of the M 2 Sn 2 O 7 /CMC.

Aroma volatiles from ripened and raw pu-erh tea were extracted by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and simultaneous distillation-extraction (SDE). They were then characterized and identified using gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The conditions of HS-SPME including fiber selections and sampling condition optimization have been previously investigated. With the two methods, 39 and 33 aroma-active compounds were detected and characterized in ripened and raw pu-erh tea samples, respectively. The aroma-active compounds with similar sensory descriptors were grouped into the same category, and the sum of individual aroma intensity values within each category showed that the floral aroma (33.01 %), stale/musty aroma (25.24 %), and woody aroma (11.17 %) were the major aroma categories in ripened pu-erh tea. Alcohols ( floral aroma notes), methoxyphenolic compounds ( stale/musty aroma notes), and ketones ( woody or floral aroma notes) play a vital role in the special flavor of ripened pu-erh tea. In raw pu-erh tea, the floral aroma (38.62 %) and fruity aroma (16.55 %) were the major aroma categories. These aromas were closely related to the characteristics of raw pu-erh tea aroma and its sensory perception.

A facile method was used to oxidize p-type Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) nanowires into n-type Zinc Oxide (ZnO) through a 700 °C annealing process in air. Single crystal ZnSe nanowires, with a hole concentration of 0.805 × 10 18 cm −3 and
a negative photoconductivity, were oxidized into polycrystalline ZnO nanowires with an electron concentration of 4.88 × 10 18 cm −3 and a positive photoconductivity. Additionally, both the as-synthesized ZnSe nanowires and the post-oxidized ZnO nanowires presented excellent optoelectronic properties. This method can be used to construct radial p–n junctions or other nano-devices based on a single NW through a regioselective oxidation process.

Abstract A series of metal-modified hierarchical M/H-ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared for catalytic conversion of cellulose in an aqueous medium. Characterization of the catalysts showed that the impregnation of metal into H-ZSM-5 did not change the basic framework and pore structure of H-ZSM-5, but it decreased the total acidity. Analysis of the products indicated that the catalysts significantly affected products distribution. When Co/H-ZSM-5 and Fe/H-ZSM-5 were used as the catalysts, the yields of lactic acid and cyclic ketones obviously increased. At last, a recommendable catalytic transformation pathway of cellulose over M/H-ZSM-5 was proposed on the basis of the obtained experimental results and the published literatures. Graphical Abstract In this paper, a series of metal-modified hierarchical M/H-ZSM-5 (M = Ce, Co, Ga, and Fe) catalysts were prepared and employed in catalytic conversion of cellulose in aqueous media to examined the products distribution of cellulose catalytic conversion. Based on our results and previous works, the plausible general reaction pathways of cellulose over M/H-ZSM-5 were proposed.

To achieve adhesive and conformable wearable electronics, improving stretchable transparent electrode (STE) becomes an indispensable bottleneck needed to be addressed. Here, we adopt a nonuniform Young’s modulus structure with silver nanowire (AgNW) and fabricate a STE layer. This layer possesses transparency of >88% over a wide spectrum range of 400–1000 nm, sheet resistance below 20 Ω sq −1 , stretchability of up to 100%, enhanced mechanical robustness, low surface roughness, and good interfacial wettability for solution process. As a result of all these properties, the STE enables the fabrication of a highly efficient ultraflexible wearable device comprising of both organic photovoltaic (OPV) and organic photodetector (OPD) parts with high mechanical durability and conformability, for energy-harvesting and biomedical-sensing applications, respectively. This demonstrates the great potential of the integration of OPVs and OPDs, capable of harvesting energy independently for biomedical applications, paving the way to a future of independent conformable wearable OPV/OPDs for different applications.

Pure and Sm-doped In 2 O 3 porous nanotubes have been successfully fabricated by the single-capillary electrospinning method followed by calcination. The as-synthesized porous nanotubes were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Raman spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It can be seen in SEM images that the surface of nanotubes is distributed with numerous pores. Gas sensing investigation reveals that Sm-doped In 2 O 3 porous nanotubes possess high-performance formaldehyde sensing properties. The response of gas sensors based on Sm-doped In 2 O 3 porous nanotubes was 54.37 towards 100 ppm formaldehyde at 240 °C, which was 5 times larger than that of pure In 2 O 3 porous nanotubes (10.87). The response and recovery times to 100 ppm formaldehyde were 9 and 40 s, respectively. Moreover, even at low concentration of 100 ppb formaldehyde, a detectable response of 2.1 can be observed. Furthermore, Sm-doped In 2 O 3 porous nanotube gas sensors have excellent selectivity to formaldehyde.

Extensive efforts have been dedicated to enhancing the expression of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) in cancer cells for the development of effective cancer treatments. However, highly safe and efficient delivery of TRAIL gene remains a significant challenge, especially using cationic polymers. Here, a series of highly branched-linear poly(β-amino ester)s (H-LPAEs) are developed through a unique oligomer branching strategy. H-LPAEs exhibit a more uniform distribution of linear segments and branching units, leading to excellent DNA condensation and favorable physicochemical properties of H-LPAE/DNA polyplexes. In SW1353 and BMSC cells, the optimized H-LPAEs, H-LPAE B4−S5−TMPTA , achieves superior gene transfection efficiency of 58.0% and 33.4%, which were 2.5-fold and 2.0-fold higher than that of the leading commercial gene transfection reagent, Lipofectamine 3000. Excitingly, H-LPAE B4−S5−TMPTA mediated 56.7% and 28.1% cell apoptosis in HepG2 cells and HeLa cells highlighting its potential application in cancer gene therapy. In addition, locally administered H-LPAE B4−S5−TMPTA delivered TRAIL DNA to HepG2 xenograft tumors and inhibited tumor growth in vivo. This study not only proposes a novel strategy for synthesizing poly(β-amino ester)s with a unique branched-linear topology but also identifies a promising candidate for highly efficient TRAIL gene transfection.

Construction of multifunctional/multimodality nanoparticles for cancer diagnosis and therapy has become an attractive area of investigation. In this report, we designed a multimodality nanoprobe for cell labeling, and can be detectable by both magnetic resonance and near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging. Multiple hydrophobic superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanocrystals are self-assembled into nanocomposites in water phase with the help of partially alkylated hyperbranched polycation, polyethylenimine (PEI), which already conjugated with the indocyanine dye Cy5.5 and can be used for cell imaging under NIR fluorescence imaging. The amphiphilic PEI/SPIO nanocomposites have a strong T
2 relaxivity. The iron uptake process in MCF-7/Adr displays a time dependent behavior. Confocal laser scanning microscopy reveals that the nanoprobes are internalized into the cytoplasm of MCF-7/Adr after 24 h labeling. Both MR and NIR fluorescence imaging showed strong image contrast against unlabeled cells. Under a clinical MRI scanner, labeled cells in gelatin phantom present much darker images than controlled ones. The T
2 relaxation rate of the labeled cells is 98.2 s −1 , significantly higher than that of the control ones of 2.3 s −1 . This study provides an important alternative to label MCF-7/Adr at optimized low dosages with high efficiency, and may be useful to label other biologically important cells and track their behaviors in vivo .

In this study, we have developed a facile method for preparation of highly fluorescent Au nanoclusters (AuNCs) using 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) as both the reducing and stabilizing agent. The as-prepared MUA functionalized AuNCs (MUA-AuNCs) have good water solubility, excellent photostability, and strong fluorescence emission at 610 nm with a quantum yield of 7.28% in water. The fluorescence of MUA-AuNCs was first quenched by copper ions through electron transfer, subsequently caused obvious restoration by competitive effect after adding penicillamine, making it a potential fluorescent sensor for penicillamine with a detection limit of 0.08 μM. Furthermore, the newly designed fluorescence “on-off-on” assay was explored for the measurement of penicillamine in complex real water and urine samples with satisfactory results.

Binary NiCo alloy/carbon composite monoliths with well-defined macropores and mesostructured skeletons have been facilely fabricated by a solgel process followed by heat treatment at Ar atmosphere, and the morphology control, heat treatment and pore structures of the composite monoliths were investigated in detail. Synergic control of phase separation and solgel transition allows the formation of three-dimensional nickel–cobalt hydroxide-based xerogel monoliths with interconnected macropores and co-continuous solid skeletons. Heat treatment at 270–340 °C promotes the precipitation of nickel–cobalt oxides and the pyrolysis of PAA into carbon, and at and above 400 °C, some in situ formed carbon can carbothermally reduce nickel–cobalt oxides to generate the NiCo alloy and form NiCo alloy/carbon composites, without any deterioration of the macrostructure of monoliths. The as-prepared NiCo alloy/carbon composite monolith possesses hierarchical pore structure with a macropore size of 0.5 μm, a mesopore size of 2 nm, a specific surface area up to 167 m 2 g −1 and a porosity as high as 80%. This three-dimensional hierarchically porous binary NiCo alloy/carbon monoliths are promisingly used in wide applications such as catalysis, filtration, separation, sensor.

Huganning, a Chinese patent medicine, has been used in clinical practice for the treatment of hepatitis in China for more than 20 years, and its main physiologically active components are polydatin and emodin. In this study, a rapid and accurate proton nuclear magnetic resonance method for the quantification of these constituents was developed. 4-Nitrochlorobenzene was selected as an internal standard, and the signals for polydatin at δ 6.44 ppm and emodin at δ 7.54 ppm were chosen for the quantification. Validation of the method was performed in terms of specificity, precision, and stability. The results indicated that the method was precise and in line with the China Food and Drug Administration guidance. The method has been successfully applied to characterize tablets and capsules obtained from six pharmaceutical companies. This study indicated that the rapid 1 H NMR method is more suitable for the quality control of Huganning than the high-performance liquid chromatography method.
