Optical temperature sensing technology, especially the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) type sensor based on Er3+, Yb3+ co-doped up-conversion (UC) luminescent materials, presents numerous opportunities in the field of temperature detection. Various Er3+, Yb3+ co-doped fluorides and oxides have been explored for the application of temperature sensing. Most of these Er3+, Yb3+ co-doped sensing materials are phosphors, for which the high temperature phase and chemical stability is still challenging. The Er3+, Yb3+ co-doped oxide single crystal is a promising solution to explore temperature sensing materials with practical application ability. In this work, an Er3+, Yb3+ co-doped LaBMoO6 single crystal (LBMO-SC: Er3+, Yb3+) is grown through flux assisted spontaneous crystal growth technology. Compared with the Er3+, Yb3+ co-doped LaBMoO6 polycrystalline samples (LBMO-PC: Er3+, Yb3+), the LBMO-SC: Er3+, Yb3+ shows improved UC performance with enhanced light emission and prolonged luminescence lifetime. The UC performance improvement results from the more efficient energy transfer between Yb3+ and Er3+. The energy transfer efficiency from Yb3+ to Er3+ in the LBMO-PC: Er3+, Yb3+ powders sintered at 1000 °C for 15 h is 7.3%, while it is 29.7% in the LBMO-SC: Er3+, Yb3+. The strong UC luminescence of LBMO-SC: Er3+, Yb3+ extends the temperature detection range; the luminescence of 4S3/2 → 4I15/2 in LBMO-SC: Er3+, Yb3+ is still measurable even when the temperature reaches 570 K. The LBMO-SC: Er3+, Yb3+ has a maximum value of relative temperature sensitivity of 1.16% K−1 at 300 K. Finally, an optical fiber type temperature sensor with practical application capability is successfully fabricated by using LBMO-SC: Er3+, Yb3+ as the luminescence sensing medium.

In this paper, an ionic liquid demulsifier (MDBr-IL) with double cationic centers and multiple hydrophobic chains was synthesized with N,N,N,N,-tetraglycidyl- 4,4-diaminodiphenylmethane as starting materials. The structure of MDBr-IL was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) and 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer ( 1 H NMR). Effect of a few key factors such as concentration, demulsifying time, demulsifying temperature, salinity and pH value on the demulsifying efficiency (DE) was detailly researched in a water-in-crude oil emulsion. When the concentration of MDBr-IL was 500 mg/L, the DE reached 95.24% at 60 °C for 180 min. Also, the DE could increase to 98.64% when the demulsifying temperature was 70 °C. In addition, MDBr-IL had an eminent resistance to acid, alkali and salt. Also, the salinity could further improve the demulsification performance. Interfacial properties and wettability were employed to investigate the possible demulsification mechanism. It demonstrated that MDBr-IL is a viable demulsifier for the separation of oil-water emulsions.

More than 55% of electronic failures are caused by damage from localized overheating. Up to now, there is still no efficient method for targeted temperature control against localized overheating. Although some existing thermal management devices handle this issue by full coverage cooling, it generates a lot of useless energy consumption. Here, a highly efficient pixel-matrix electrocaloric (EC) cooling device is reported, which can realize a targeted and differential thermal management. The modified poly(vinylidene fluoride-tertrifluoroethylene-chlorofluoroethylene) reaches a large adiabatic temperature change of 7.8 K and is more suitable for thermal transfer and electrostatic actuation at high frequencies. All active pixels in the EC cooling device exhibit a stable temperature span of 4.6 K and a heat flux of 62 mW cm -2 , which is more than twice that of the one-layer EC device. Each refrigeration pixel can be independently controlled and effectively cooled down the localized overheating site(s) in situ. The surface temperature of the simulated central processing unit decreases by 33.2 K at 120 s after applying this EC device. Such a compact, embeddable, low cost, and active solid-state pixel-matrix cooling device has great potential for localized overheating protection in microelectronics.

A biosensor based on the optical signal of gold nanorods (GNRs) and an aptamer as the recognition element is reported to perform the rapid and selective spectrophotometric determination of profenofos. The GNR synthesized by the seed growth method have unique structures which binds with the aptamer through electrostatic adsorption and is well dispersed in a salt-containing solution. Upon the addition of profenofos, specific recognition caused aggregation of the GNRs. The optical signal therefore decreased and the response linearly related to the concentration of profenofos. The results demonstrate that ascorbic acid as the reducing agent plays an important role in the morphology of the GNRs. GNRs with the length-diameter ratio (L/D) of 12 stably combined with the aptamer. For the optimum conditions, spectrophotometric determination of profenofos was achieved using the biosensor with a linear relationship between the absorbance of GNR at 508 nm and the concentration of profenofos from 40 to 460 µg/L. The limit of detection of the method was 31.93 µg/L. In addition, this approach shows good selectivity for the analysis of fruits and vegetable. A valuable new method is reported for the determination of profenofos.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common cancer and the third most common cause of cancer-related deaths. The WW-domain containing oxidoreductase (WWOX) protein suppresses carcinogenesis and its absence is closely related to aggressive HCC phenotypes. In this study, by using SPR analysis, cell viability assay and xenograft mice models, we found that albendazole (ABZ), a safe and effective anthelmintic drug, exhibited the binding affinity with WWOX protein and potential inhibition effect on HCC cells in vitro and in vivo . Overexpression and knockdown of WWOX confirmed that the suppression of HCC by ABZ. Flow cytometric analysis, western blotting analysis and Co-IP were conducted to study the mechanism of ABZ. Our data showed that ABZ regulated the interaction between WWOX and its binding proteins including p53 and C-MYC. Furthermore, ABZ triggered p53-induced intrinsic apoptosis and suppressed EMT-mediated migration by C-MYC/Fibronectin axis. In addition, ∆NP73 expression was significantly inhibited by ABZ, which further sensitized p53-induced intrinsic apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. In summary, ABZ could suppress the proliferation and migration of HCC cells by regulating WWOX-dependent signaling pathway.

The preparation of highly active supported noble metal catalysts with a low noble metal loading has always been the ultimate goal of researchers working on catalysis. Hydrothermally treated Pt/Al 2 O 3 (Pt/Al 2 O 3 -H) exhibits better catalytic activity than that (Pt/Al 2 O 3 -C) treated via the conventional calcination approach. At the high space velocity of 100,000 mL/(g∙hr), the temperature that correspond to 50% toluene conversion ( T 50 ) of Pt/Al 2 O 3 -H is 115°C lower than that of Pt/Al 2 O 3 -C, and the turnover frequency (TOF) value can reach 0.0756 sec −1 . The mechanism by which the hydrothermal approach enhances Pt/Al 2 O 3 activity has been investigated. The structure associated with the high catalytic activity of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) can be retained via hydrothermal treatment. Furthermore, the support is transformed to AlO(OH) with numerous surface hydroxyl groups, which in turn can facilitate the adsorption of toluene. And the synergistic effects of Pt NPs and AlO(OH) increases the contents of Pt in oxidation state and active oxygen, which are beneficial for toluene oxidation.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) techniques benefit from the development of various substrates ranging from noble metal to semiconductor materials. Semiconductor substrates have been assumed to construct more specific structures and designable surface chemistry than noble metal substrates. Therefore, the development of semiconductor substrates may lead to the selective recognition of target molecules, more stable SERS spectra, and even low-cost fabrication of SERS substrates. In this paper, we disclose semiconductor supernanoparticles formed by a self-limiting assembly process with stable properties, easy scale-up fabrication, and high SERS enhancement. The detected concentration of analytes reaches as low as 10 −8 M. The built-in hotspots and self-doping in suprananoparticles provide strong electromagnetic enhancement, and the molecular resonance and charge transfer with the target molecule contribute to chemical enhancement. Discrete dipole approximation simulation was used to further confirm the SERS enhancement mechanism. Cu 2-x S supernanoparticles paved a new way to construct novel semiconductors with SERS activity.

Abstract The formation of lithium dendrites and the safety hazards arising from flammable liquid electrolytes have seriously hindered the development of high-energy-density lithium metal batteries. Herein, an emerging amide-based electrolyte is proposed, containing LiTFSI and butyrolactam in different molar ratios. 1,1,2,2-Tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropylether and fluoroethylene carbonate are introduced into the amide-based electrolyte as counter solvent and additives. The well-designed amide-based electrolyte possesses nonflammability, high ionic conductivity, high thermal stability and electrochemical stability (> 4.7 V). Besides, an inorganic/organic-rich solid electrolyte interphase with an abundance of LiF, Li 3 N and Li–N–C is in situ formed, leading to spherical lithium deposition. The formation mechanism and solvation chemistry of amide-based electrolyte are further investigated by molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory. When applied in Li metal batteries with LiFePO 4 and LiMn 2 O 4 cathode, the amide-based electrolyte can enable stable cycling performance at room temperature and 60 ℃. This study provides a new insight into the development of amide-based electrolytes for lithium metal batteries.

Lead-free halide double perovskites (LFDPs) arouse great interest as environmentally friendly substitutes to the state-of-the-art lead halide perovskites. However, most halide LFDPs feature large bandgaps that afford weak visible-light absorption. Herein, we synthesized and systemically studied the single-crystallographic, physical–chemical, band structural, and electronic properties of a series of multidimensional Au-based lead-free hybrid polymorphs, [(NH3CH3)2(AuI4)(AuI2)], [(NH2CHNH2)(AuI4)(AuI2)], [NH3(CH2)nNH3][(AuI4)2] (n = 2, 3), [NH3(CH2)nNH3][(AuI4)(I3)] (n = 4, 5, 6), and [NH3(CH2)nNH3]2[(AuI4)(AuI2)(I3)2] (n = 7, 8, 9). Among these two-dimensional (2D) perovskite-related and zero-dimensional nonperovskite polymorphs, we found an abnormal variation of structural dimensionality with increasing the size of A-site cations. These polymorphs displayed ultrabroad absorption ranges (200–1300 nm) and tunable low indirect bandgaps (0.93–1.18 eV). Combined single-crystallography and Hall effect measurements demonstrate that the I3– conduces to the formation of 2D perovskite structures related by connecting with the (AuI4)− sheets and also the charge transport properties. Consequently, [NH3(CH2)5NH3][(AuI4)I3] and [NH3(CH2)8NH3]2[(AuI4)(AuI2)(I3)2] showed high spectroscopic limited maximum efficiencies of 28.4 and 20.5%, respectively, with a film thickness of 500 nm. Our findings bring the Au-based polymorphs to the forefront of study on lead-free low-bandgap perovskites for optoelectronics and reveal the unique rule of dimensionality engineering in such materials.

Stable electrode materials with high catalytic activity are urgently required for electrochemical degradation of refractory organic pollutants in wastewater treatment . Herein, high conductive MXene (Ti 3 C 2 T x ) was firstly fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) as an interlayer for preparing a novel PbO 2 electrode. The well-conducted Ti 3 C 2 T x interlayer significantly improved the electrochemical performance of the EPD-2.0/PbO 2 (EPD time was 2.0 min) electrode with the charge transfer resistance decreased by 9.51 times, the inner active sites increased by 5.21 times and the ∙OH radicals generation ability enhanced by 4.07 times than the control EPD-0/PbO 2 anode. Consequently, the EPD-2.0/PbO 2 electrode achieved nearly 100% basic fuchsin (BF) and 86.78% COD removal efficiency after 3.0 h electrolysis. Therefore, this new PbO 2 electrode presented a promising potential for electrochemical degradation of BF and the new Ti 3 C 2 T x middle layer could also be used to fabricate other efficient and stable anodes, such as SnO 2 , MnO 2 , TiO 2 , etc.

As hypoxia is closely associated with tumor progression, proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and strong resistance to therapy, regulating and overcoming the hypoxia tumor microenvironment are two increasingly important aspects of tumor treatment. Herein, we report a phototherapeutic platform that uses the organic photosensitizer diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) derivative and inorganic iridium salts (IrCl3) with photothermal activity and the capacity to decompose H2O2efficiently. The characterization of their photophysical properties proved that DPP-Ir nanoparticles are capable of remarkable near-infrared (NIR) absorption, and compared to DPP nanoparticles, the photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) increases from 42.1% in DPP nanoparticles to 67.0% in DPP-Ir nanoparticles. The hybrid nanoparticles utilize the catalytic decomposition of endogenous H2O2to produce oxygen for the downregulation of the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF-1α) protein, which could reverse the tumor hypoxic microenvironment. Benefiting from the excellent optical properties and good biocompatibility, the hybrid platform exhibits efficient photothermal therapeutic effects as well as good biological safety. In conclusion, such a hybrid platform could improve photothermal therapy against cancer.Keywords:hypoxia;diketopyrrolopyrrole;photothermal therapy;catalyze H2O2;hybrid platform

The application of flexible multifunctional sensors based on conductive hydrogels in human health detection has been widely studied. Herein, a facile one-pot method is proposed to prepare ionic conductive hydrogels by dissolving polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), cellulose nanofiber (CNF), and aluminum chloride hexahydrate (AlCl 3 ·6H 2 O) in a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/water binary solvent. The resulting ionically-conductive organohydrogels have high stretchability (up to 696%), fast response (130 ms), wide operating temperature (−50 °C to 50 °C), and long-term stability (30 days). The hydrogel sensor exhibits excellent signal sensing capability (human motion and sound detection signals) and cycling stability (1000 cycles) under extreme temperature and long-term storage conditions. Notably, the organohydrogel displays high sensitivity to both compressive deformation and temperature, resulting in multifunctional sensing performance. This work provides a viable approach for the long-term use of hydrogels as wearable devices in extreme environments and daily life.
