Aqueous aluminum–ion batteries (AAIBs) have attracted considerable attention owing to their high theoretical capacity, high safety, and low cost. However, as a strong Lewis acid, Al 3+ readily coordinates with the lone–pair electrons of water molecules, which significantly polarizes the O H bonds and promotes water dissociation and proton generation. The generated protons can cause severe corrosion of electrode materials, thereby limiting cycling stability and hindering practical applications. In this work, a novel manganese oxide cathode with a hollow hexagonal pyramidal layered nanostructure is successfully synthesized and coupled with 1 M Al₂(SO₄)₃ electrolyte containing 0.06 M K₂SO₄. In situ and ex situ characterizations reveal that the cathode delivers high capacity through a synergistic Al 3+ /H + co–intercalation and deintercalation mechanism. Importantly, the introduction of potassium sulfate induces the formation of a potassium aluminum sulfate passivation layer, which effectively suppresses acid−induced electrode corrosion and enhances cycling stability. As a result, the assembled battery achieves a high specific capacity of 354 mAh g −1 at 0.2 A g −1 and a high discharge voltage plateau of 1.7 V . At 0.5 A g −1 , it maintains 90% of its capacity (based on a maximum activated capacity of 188 mAh g −1 ) over 420 cycles. This work provides a facile and effective strategy for developing high–performance aqueous aluminum–ion batteries.

Abstract Photocatalytic CO2 reduction to carbonaceous fuels is a promising strategy to mitigate massive carbon emissions, yet the highly selective CO2 conversion remains challenging due to the unsatisfactory charge separation and limited active sites of pristine semiconductor photocatalysts. Herein, we report the in situ fabrication of oxygen vacancy rich W/H co-doped rutile TiO2 (W/H-TiO2) via a two-step wet chemical approach for high-efficiency photocatalytic CO2 reduction to CO. The optimized W/H-TiO2 exhibited high activity and selectivity for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO (57.96 μmol g–1 h–1 and 96.3%), which were significantly higher than those of other TiO2 counterparts. Experimental characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the synergistic effect of H/W co-doping accelerates the migration and separation of photogenerated charge carriers and reduces the formation energy barrier for the key *COOH intermediate, thereby markedly boosting the CO2 photoreduction activity and product selectivity of W/H-TiO2. This work establishes a dual-doping-induced oxygen vacancy strategy for electronic structure engineering, providing a new paradigm for the rational design of high-performance TiO2 based photocatalysts toward efficient CO2 photoreduction.

Nanoparticles are successfully constructed by a green H₂O₂ oxidation strategy. • Formation entails EGCG oxidation, Mannich cross-linking and H-bonding/π-π stacking. • Nanoparticles show excellent antioxidant activity and enhanced stability. • The greater the number of hydroxyl groups, the stronger the interaction force. This study developed a green, carrier-free EGCG-flavonoid nanoparticle assembly strategy driven by H₂O₂. This approach overcomes the drawbacks of traditional formaldehyde-induced methods, including solvent toxicity and poor biocompatibility. It further investigated how the number of flavonoid hydroxyl groups regulates the assembly process and properties of EGCG-flavonoid nanoparticles. The formation involves H₂O₂-mediated oxidation of EGCG hydroxyl groups to generate aldehyde and carboxyl groups, which then undergo covalent bonding with the amino group of glycine. Flavonoids are embedded into the EGCG–glycine network through noncovalent interactions, resulting in spherical nanoparticles (200–260 nm, PDI ≈ 0.3). Increasing hydroxyl groups on flavonoids enhanced their loading capacity and interaction with EGCG. Nanoparticles with polyhydroxylated flavonoids exhibited strong antioxidant activity (>85% DPPH•/ABTS• + scavenging), high storage stability (>70% retention after 60 days), and improved thermal stability. This work provides a theoretical foundation for green synthesis of polyphenol-flavonoid nanosystems in functional foods and targeted delivery.

Background:The m7G cap structure, which mimics the natural cap of eukaryotic mRNA, is a critical determinant of mRNA vaccine efficacy, safety, and stability. However, its precise quantification remains challenging due to complex impurity profiles and the high physicochemical similarity between the target cap and related impurities. Although liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is widely employed for this purpose, current methodologies still face significant limitations, including labor-intensive sample preparation, low analytical throughput, poor reproducibility in quantifying low-level impurities, and a lack of universally applicable strategies across diverse mRNA vaccine platforms.Methods: We systematically optimized sample preparation and LC-MS detection workflows. RNase H-mediated cleavage was compared with DNAzymes, guide DNA probes were rationally designed, and thermostable RNase H was introduced for one-step denaturation and cleavage. To establish an accurate, efficient, and universal sample preparation workflow. Chromatographic conditions were optimized using an ion-pairing reagent system to suppress ESI-MS metal adducts. Eliminating sample purification improves recovery, reduces manual handling errors, and boosts assay efficiency.Results: Through optimally designed guide DNA probes, RNase H cleavage specificity reached ≥98% with high cleavage efficiency, offering higher efficiency than DNAzyme. Furthermore, the incorporation of thermostable RNase H enabled a single-step workflow combining high-temperature denaturation and site-specific cleavage, substantially streamlining sample preparation. On the chromatographic side, optimization of the ion-pairing reagent system effectively suppressed metal adduct formation in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). This advancement enabled direct injection of the 5′ cap fragments without purification, achieving high-recovery quantification while demonstrating broad compatibility across mainstream LC-MS platforms. The optimized assay reduces the total analytical workflow from 4~6 h to under 1.5 h.Conclusions:Combining high accuracy, robustness, and broad platform compatibility, this method offers a universal, high-throughput analytical solution for mRNA vaccine quality control and continuous process development.

Unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs) enable the selective hydroxylation of inert C–H bonds using H 2 O 2 under mild conditions. However, their practical application is fundamentally limited by oxidative deactivation at elevated H 2 O 2 concentrations. Herein, a highly synergistic photobiocatalytic system is constructed by covalently immobilizing UPOs onto a Rh-complex-coordinated covalent organic framework (COF) to facilitate the in-situ generation of H 2 O 2 and sequential enzymatic utilization. Specifically, a COF featuring a pyridinic imine structure (COF PyIm ) is designed to precisely anchor Rh(III) complexes. Compared with its bipyridine-structured analog (COF Bpy ), COF PyIm provides more coordination sites and a shorter electron-transfer distance. Consequently, the photocatalytic H 2 O 2 synthesis rate reached 22.17 mM·g -1 ·h -1 , representing a performance improvement of approximately 40%. This enhancement is attributed to the optimized pyridine–imine coordination microenvironment, which promotes charge separation and electron transfer. Subsequently, UPO from Agrocybe aegerita ( Aae UPO) is covalently immobilized onto COF PyIm to yield Aae UPO@Rh-COF PyIm , which achieves efficient spatiotemporal coupling between in situ H 2 O 2 generation and enzymatic hydroxylation of the C–H bond. This integrated photobiocatalyst can achieve 90% yield, >99% enantiomeric excess ( ee ), and a turnover number of 41,666 in the asymmetric hydroxylation of ethylbenzene. It also exhibits excellent reusability (retaining 70.4% of its initial activity after six cycles) and broad substrate scope.

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.

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.

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.
