Cu/BC-PAA (Peroxyacetic acid) system was established in this study to remove sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from waters. Cu/BC-PAA achieved high elimination efficiency (91.2 %, k = 0.081 min −1 ) for SMX within 30 min. Cu (II) loaded on corn straw biochar was converted into form Cu (I) site. Characterization, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and electrochemical analysis proved that Cu (I) and C O took part in the reaction, which accelerated electron transfer and produced free radicals and non-radicals (R-O· and singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 )). Fukui index and Liquid Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer (LC–MS) analysis revealed that sulphonamide bond cleavage and isoxazole ring opening were the main detoxification pathway. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation exhibited the adsorption energy of Cu/BC (E ads = −3.68 eV) enhanced the electron transfer between Cu (I) and PAA. The evaluation of anion effects, diverse water matrices, various sulfonamide antibiotics, and catalyst cycling tests demonstrated the Cu/BC-PAA system's exceptional stability, broad-spectrum applicability, and excellent reusability. This work successfully synthesized a stable environment-friendly catalyst for efficient activating PAA to eliminate antibiotics in waters.

Cesium-based all-inorganic lead-halide perovskites CsPbX3 (X = I, Br, Cl) have emerged as highly promising optoelectronic materials with a wide bandgap, which are commonly utilized in tandem solar cells. However, the I–Br hybrid CsPbI3–xBrx perovskites still face stability issues such as halide segregation-induced phase transition and decomposition under ultraviolet or high-temperature conditions. We synthesize a series of single crystals DMAPbI3–xBrx (x = 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3, 0.6), featuring an I–Br ordered distribution. By introducing the crystal intermediate into the perovskite precursor, we successfully obtained high-quality CsPbI3–xBrx thin films, exhibiting high stabilities and low trap state density. The formation kinetics of the high-quality perovskite thin films are in situ studied and the possible reaction mechanisms are proposed. Benefiting from this approach, the solar cells have an improved photoelectric conversion efficiency and significantly enhanced thermal stability. This method is proven to be feasible and innovatively offers a new strategy for the continuous development of mixed-halide perovskite solar cells.

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), one of the most widely used plasticizers , is a known environmental endocrine disruptor that impairs male and female fertility. In this study, oral administration of DBP was given to pregnant mice on 14.5 days post coitus (dpc) for 3 days; and additionally, DBP was added into the culture of 14.5 dpc fetal ovaries for 3 days. DBP exposure during gestation disturbed the progression of meiotic prophase I of mouse oocytes , specifically from the zygotene to pachytene stages. Meanwhile, the DBP-exposed pachytene oocytes showed increased homologous recombination sites and unrepaired DNA damage. Furthermore, DBP caused DNA damage by increasing oxidative stress , decreased the expression of multiple critical meiotic regulators, and consequently induced oocyte apoptosis. Moreover, the effect of DBP on meiosis I prophase involved estrogen receptors α and β. Collectively, these results demonstrated a set of meiotic defects in DBP-exposed fetal oocytes. As aberrations in homologous recombination can result in aneuploid gametes and embryos, this study provides new support for the deleterious effects of phthalates.

The structural analysis shows that each of Cu(I) complexes includes a tetrahedral [Cu(NN) (PP)] + moiety, and temperature variation from 99 K to 298 K leads to the change of bonds lengths, angles and weak interactions. Meanwhile, theoretical calculations indicate that the differences between cationic and neutral Cu(I) complexes affect the composition of HOMO and LUMO orbitals, and the effect of temperature on Mülliken atomic charges is limited. Furthermore, neutral Cu(I) complexes 1b–3b show better luminescence in comparison to cationic Cu(I) complexes 1a-3a at room temperature , and temperature variations from 99 K to 298 K result in changing photoluminescence to some extent, which partly agrees with the related calculation results. In these cationic and neutral Cu(I) complexes, the maximum phosphorescent lifetime and quantum yield reach respectively 137 μs and 42% at room temperature. Moreover, cationic and neutral Cu(I) complexes are utilized to fabricate the monochromatic LEDs, showing favorable electroluminescence with the maximum EQE of 7.10%.

Herein, a biochar-based composite (Ti 3 C 2 T x @biochar-PDA/PEI) was constructed by decorating Ti 3 C 2 T x and polydopamine on coconut shell biochar via electrostatic self-assembly method. Different characterization techniques were applied to explore the structure, morphology and composition of the sorbents. It was found that the higher porosity and diverse functional groups were conducive for Ti 3 C 2 T x @biochar-PDA/PEI to capture radionuclides, and the water environmental conditions made a great contribution to the adsorption process. The process of removing U(VI)/Cs(I) well complied with the Langmuir isotherm and Pseudo-second-order equations, which indicated that the single layer chemical adsorption occurred on the solid liquid interface. Meanwhile, this produced composite exhibited superior removal performance under complex co-existing ion environment, and the maximum adsorption amounts of U(VI) and Cs(I) reached up to 239.7 and 40.3 mg g −1 . Impressively, this adsorbent still exhibited good adsorption performance after three cycles of regeneration. The spectral analysis and DFT calculation demonstrated that adsorption of U(VI) might be a chemical process, while the adsorption of Cs(I) should be ion exchange or electrostatic attraction. This study demonstrated the potential application of Ti 3 C 2 T x @biochar-PDA/PEI as an effective remediation strategy for radioactive wastewater cleanup. Graphical Abstract

Ovarian cancer (OV) ranks among the deadliest gynecological cancer, known for its high risk of relapse and metastasis, and a general resistance to conventional platinum‐based chemotherapy. Selenoprotein I (SELENOI) is a crucial mediator implicated in human hereditary spastic paraplegia. However, its role in human tumors remains poorly elucidated. Here, we comprehensively analyzed SELENOI expression patterns, functions, and clinical implications across various malignancies through the integration of bulk transcriptomics, cancer databases, and in vitro and in vivo experiments. Pan‐cancer analysis indicated upregulated SELENOI expression across various cancers, correlating with augmented malignancy, suppressed tumor immunity and poor prognosis. Knockdown of SELENOI caused G0/G1‐phase cell cycle arrest and diminished aggressive cancer phenotypes in OV cells. Moreover, SELENOI inhibition augments ferroptosis and reverses the cisplatin resistance in OV cells by modulating Akt phosphorylation. Conversely, overexpression of SELENOI in OV cells enhanced therapeutic sensitivity to cisplatin by upregulating Akt phosphorylation. Importantly, in vivo studies demonstrated that SELENOI inhibition suppressed ovarian tumor growth and enhanced cisplatin's anticancer effects. These findings highlight the significant role of SELENOI in OV by modulating ferroptosis and chemotherapy resistance. Targeting SELENOI represents a promising therapeutic approach to promote the efficacy of platinum‐based chemotherapy in OV, particularly in cases of resistance. Graphic summary of targeting SELENOI for promoting ferroptosis and reversing chemoresistance in ovarian cancer. Inhibition of SELENOI activated unsaturated fatty acid synthesis and impaired Akt phosphorylation, resulting in the upregulation of ACSL4 expression and induction of ferroptosis. Reduced Akt phosphorylation also led to the downregulation of ALDH3A1 expression, a key gene associated with cisplatin‐resistance, thereby enhancing cisplatin cytotoxicity in SELENOI‐silenced ovarian cancer cells.

Chemo-photodynamic therapy is a treatment method that combines chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy and has demonstrated significant potential in cancer treatment. However, the development of chemo-photodynamic therapeutic agents with fewer side effects still poses a challenge. Herein, we designed and synthesized a novel series of β-carboline/furylmalononitrile hybrids 10a–i and evaluated their chemo-photodynamic therapeutic effects. Most of the compounds were photodynamically active and exhibited cytotoxic effects in four cancer cells. In particular, 10f possessed type-I/II photodynamic characteristics, and its 1O2 quantum yield increased by 3-fold from pH 7.4 to 4.5. Most interestingly, 10f exhibited robust antiproliferative effects by tumor-selective cytotoxicities and hypoxic-overcoming phototoxicities. In addition, 10f generated intracellular ROS and induced hepatocellular apoptosis, mitochondrial damage, and autophagy. Finally, 10f demonstrated extremely low acute toxicity (LD50 = 1415 mg/kg) and a high tumor-inhibitory rate of 80.5% through chemo-photodynamic dual therapy. Our findings may provide a promising framework for the design of new photosensitizers for chemo-photodynamic therapy.

The molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) were prepared via aqueous RAFT precipitation polymerization, with aristolochic acid I (AAI) as the template molecule, AA as the functional monomer , EGDMA as the cross-linker, AIBN as the chain initiator, CTP as the chain transfer agent and 80% (g/g) DMF-aqueous solution as the porogen . The differential UV–vis spectra revealed that a cooperative hydrogen-bonding complex between AAI and AA might be formed at the molar ratio of 1:3 in prepolymerized system. The synthesized MIPs were characterized by FTIR spectra, solid UV–visible absorption spectra, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms and scanning electron microscope, which proved that the MIPs and NIPs have the similar chemical structures and the adding of AAI could affect the size and morphology of the microspheres . UV–visible absorption spectra and High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to investigate the adsorption and recognition properties of the MIPs. The Scatchard isotherm model described that the binding sites independently acted. The Langmuir isotherm model suggested an excellent imprinting effect owing to the presence of a large number of specific binding sites on the MIP. The Freundlich model indicated that the AAI could be readily absorbed by MIP. Selective absorption of the template molecule was demonstrated in presence of its analogous compounds, benzoic acid and nitrobenzene . The recycling experiments implied that the MIP could be reused to further selective recognition and separation to AAI for six times at least. MIP was developed for removal of AAI from the Aristolochia manshuriensis extraction. The results indicated that 25 mg of MIP could remove the AAI below the HPLC detection limits (6.47 ng mL -1 ) from 5.0 mL of the extraction (CAAI=0.0018 mg mL -1 ) with the recovery of AAI to 91.50% (n=3, SD=4.24%). Therefore, it is clearly revealed that the MIP can be a useful tool to remove toxic compounds from natural products .

Polymeric/inorganic nanocomposite particles (NCPs) were tentatively prepared through miniemulsion polymerization using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as the sole surfactant. The representative inorganic nanoparticles (NPs), SiO 2 NPs, were pre-dispersed in monomer solutions. Particle morphology and size of the latex particles in the emulsions prepared from miniemulsions were investigated in terms of the SiO 2 and SDS content. The results indicate that the number fraction of polymer/SiO 2 NCPs ( f NCP ) in the latex particles was below 4%, and that plain polymer particles dominated in all of the emulsions regardless of the SiO 2 and SDS content when the sonication power was 95 W. The centrifugation experiments showed that there were three types of particles in the emulsions, namely, a dominant amount of plain polymer particles, a small amount of polymer/SiO 2 NCPs, and a very small amount of sub-micrometer polymer/SiO 2 aggregates. These particles evolved from small plain monomer droplets, medium monomer droplets containing SiO 2 NPs, and micrometer monomer droplets containing many SiO 2 NPs, respectively. Formation mechanisms of these three types of particles were proposed. On the basis of the mechanism, we used higher sonication power to improve the homogeneity of the number distribution of SiO 2 NPs among monomer droplets. The f NCP value markedly increased to ∼39% upon increase of the sonication power to 190 W. However, the formation efficiency of polymer/SiO 2 NCPs could not be improved with further increase of the sonication power.

The discovery of rare-earth free luminescent materials with blue-light-excitable characteristic is of great importance for solid-sate lighting applications. Herein, a Cu(I)-based 0D luminescent hybrid ( 1,3-dppH 2 ) 2 Cu 4 I 8 ∙H 2 O is synthesized by a facile solution method, and it shows the orange-red emission peaking at 625 nm upon 460 nm excitation. The structure-related luminescence mechanism has been elaborated by experimental and theoretical investigations. Moreover, the emission intensity remains unchanged even after continuous water treatment for 60 days due to the improved structural stability originating from intermolecular π–π interaction between organic cations. A warm white light-emitting diode (LED) device with the color rendering index of 91.4% has been fabricated by combining the 440 nm LED chip, green-emitting Lu 3 Al 5 O 12 :Ce 3+ , and ( 1,3-dppH 2 ) 2 Cu 4 I 8 ∙H 2 O. This work provides a new design route towards 0D cuprous halide materials and will initiate more exploration of their intrinsic luminescence mechanism.

In this paper, a novel grafted zeolite/Fe 3 O 4 /chitosan (ZMC-MAH-TEPA) adsorbent was greenly synthesized and evaluated for the removal of Cr(VI) and Ag(I) in single and bi-component solutions. The characterization data of XRF , XRD, FT-IR, VSM, TGA , BET and SEM showed the successful fabrication of the adsorbent with abundant -NH 2 and -NH- as well as great recovery properties (11.70 emu/g). The effects of experimental parameters, including pH value, initial concentration, temperature, time, and coexisting ions on single and bi-component adsorption, were investigated. The results demonstrated that the adsorption capacities increased with the enhanced shaking time and concentration until equilibrium was reached. The optimum pH value was 3 for Cr(VI) adsorption and 5 for Ag(I) adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacities for Cr(VI) and Ag(I) ions, obtained by the Langmuir model, were 50.75 and 70.12 mg·g −1 in single metal solutions and 45.45 and 58.94 mg·g −1 in bi-component metal solutions (Cr(VI)/Ag(I) = 1:1), respectively. Additionally, the adsorption mechanism of Cr(VI) and Ag(I) was explained in terms of electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding between metal ions and -NH 2 and -NH- in ZMC-MAH-TEPA. Taken together, this study provides a clean approach to synthesizing chitosan-based adsorbents for the efficient removal of Cr(VI) and Ag(I) ions.
