Background Non-redundant properties such as hypoxia and acidosis promote tumor metabolic adaptation and limit anti-cancer therapies. The key to the adaptation of tumor cells to hypoxia is the transcriptional and stable expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α). The phosphorylation-activated tumorigenic signal PI3K/AKT/mTOR advances the production of downstream HIF-1α to adapt to tumor hypoxia. Studies have elucidated that acid favors inhibition of mTOR signal. Nonetheless, carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX), overexpressed on membranes of hypoxia tumor cells with pH-regulatory effects, attenuates intracellular acidity, which is unfavorable for mTOR inhibition. Herein, a drug delivery nanoplatform equipped with dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor Dactolisib (NVP-BEZ235, BEZ235) and CAIX inhibitor 4‐(2‐aminoethyl) benzene sulfonamide (ABS) was designed to mitigate hypoxic adaptation and improve breast cancer treatment. Results ABS and PEG-NH 2 were successfully modified on the surface of hollow polydopamine (HPDA), while BEZ235 and Chlorin e6 (Ce6) were effectively loaded with the interior of HPDA to form HPDA-ABS/PEG-BEZ235/Ce6 (H-APBC) nanoparticles. The release of BEZ235 from H-APBC in acid microenvironment could mitigate PI3K/mTOR signal and resist HIF-1α-dependent tumor hypoxia adaptation. More importantly, ABS modified on the surface of H-APBC could augment intracellular acids and enhances the mTOR inhibition. The nanoplatform combined with phototherapy inhibited orthotopic breast cancer growth while reducing spontaneous lung metastasis, angiogenesis, based on altering the microenvironment adapted to hypoxia and extracellular acidosis. Conclusion Taken together, compared with free BEZ235 and ABS, the nanoplatform exhibited remarkable anti-tumor efficiency, reduced hypoxia adaptation, mitigated off-tumor toxicity of BEZ235 and solved the limited bioavailability of BEZ235 caused by weak solubility.

Achieving the room-temperature self-healing of polymer materials with mechanically robust and tough features is a challenging project due to their conflicting attributes. Herein, a novel design concept of dynamic but mechanically robust and tough polymer networks was proposed derived from dynamic diselenide bonds and dual H-bonds, in which flexible fluorinated siloxane units and H-bonded urethane and urea groups are embedded simultaneously. Through adjustment of the mass fraction of fluorinated siloxane units incorporated, waterborne polyurethanes with good mechanical performances (tensile strength: 16.31 MPa; toughness: 69.8 MJ m−3) could be constructed. Meanwhile, this optimized sample could also be healed at room-temperature within 2 h under visible light. Therefore, the fast room-temperature self-healing of our elaborated polymers with mechanically robust and tough features is achieved, which has never been achieved for the contemporary polymer materials. The reconstruction of dual H-bonding interactions of urethane and urea moieties is responsible for the prophase healing after reconnecting the fracture surfaces, and macromolecular chains containing fluorinated siloxane units with excellent flexibility could promote the visible-light-triggered diselenide metathesis in a highly efficient manner subsequently. Moreover, much improved water resistance properties could also be achieved. The elaborated strategy will provide inspiration for developing mechanically robust and tough water-dispersed polymer materials with fast room-temperature self-repairing performance and desirable water resistance properties, which are of vital importance to the next generation of smart materials.

Thermally conductive poly (2-ethylhexyl acrylate) (P2EHA)/functionalized graphene/h-boron nitride composites materials were fabricated by colloid blending and self-assembly approach. Here, self-assembly technology has been used to achieve the facile surface modification of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) microplatelets by forming a functionalized graphene (f-G) sheets on its surface via π-π interaction. The polar functionality on the graphene surface allowed the permeation of the polymer matrix through the secondary interaction between them, increasing the content of this hybridized filler in composite. The effective and successful fabrication of f-G@h-BN microplates have been confirmed by SEM, Raman spectroscopy , XRD , and TGA investigations. The self-alignment 2D stacked fillers result in higher in-plane thermal conductivities and excellent electrical insulation of the composites. In addition to the good adhesive properties , the procedure is environment-friendly, easy operation, and potential for the practical application in large scale.

With the increasing demand for dielectric materials in high-frequency microwave applications, fluoropolymer-based dielectric materials have been widely utilized due to their excellent dielectric and insulation properties. However, the low thermal conductivity limits their ability to meet the thermal dissipation requirements during high-frequency and high-speed signal transmission. The present study introduces a pioneering interface engineering strategy wherein C–F bonds on the surface of ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE) are photo-catalytically activated, enabling successful grafting of poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) chain segments. Subsequently, the resulting graft copolymers are blended with thermally conductive h-BN filler to prepare composite dielectric materials. The results demonstrate that the incorporation of PGMA segments significantly enhances the interfacial compatibility between the ETFE matrix and h-BN filler, resulting in composites with a dense microstructure and outstanding dielectric and thermal properties. At a filler content of 30 vol%, the ETFE-g-PGMA@BN composite achieves an in-plane thermal conductivity of 4.2 W (m K)−1 and a through-plane thermal conductivity of 0.77 W (m K)−1. Moreover, at 1 GHz, the composite exhibits a dielectric constant of 2.2 and a dielectric loss of 0.004. This work presents a novel interface design strategy for surface modification of PTFE-based fluoropolymers, expanding their potential applications in printed circuit boards (PCBs) and providing a new direction for the design of polymer-based dielectric materials.

Integrated carbon capture and utilization via dry reforming of methane (ICCU-DRM) paves a sustainable way for directly converting CO 2 from flue gas into CO. However, the process suffers from severe carbon depositions and low CH 4 utilization. Herein, we demonstrate that the NiMnxCa dual functional materials undergo a spontaneous structural self-optimization during cyclic ICCU-DRM process. The MnO x can segregate from (MnO) α (CaO) 1-α solid solution during CO 2 capture. Consequently, the Ni-MnO x interaction, with a MnO x -coated Ni surface, can be intensified with the material reconstruction, which effectively suppresses the hydrogen recombination probability and prevent carbon deposition. Moreover, the *H from CH 4 activation can react with MnO, enabling highly efficient conversion of CO 2 via in situ chemical looping pathway. As an example, the NiMn5Ca achieved a ~ 100 % H utilization (~ 0 H 2 production), 95 % CO 2 conversion and < 1 carbon deposition/per mol of converted CO 2 at 675 °C in 25 cycles. The work illustrates a typical scenario of an intelligent structure optimization under reaction environment and proposes a strategy to enhance CH 4 utilization efficiency by directing *H to a fast surface reaction rather than desorbing as H 2 .

As in all RNA viruses, influenza viruses change and mutate constantly because their RNA polymerase has no proofreading ability. This poses a serious threat to public health nowadays. In addition, traditional pathogen-based detection methods may not be able to report an infection from an unknown type or a subtype of virus if its nucleotide sequence is not known. Because of these factors, targeting host microRNA signatures may be an alternative to classify infections and distinguish types of pathogens as microRNAs are produced in humans shortly after infection. Although this approach is in its infant stage, there is an urgent need to develop a rapid reporter assay for microRNA for disease control and prevention. As a proof of concept, we report herein for the first time a non-PCR MARS (MicroRNA-RNase-SPR) assay to detect the microRNA miR-29a-3p from human subjects infected with influenza virus H1N1 by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). In our MARS assay, RNase H is employed to specifically hydrolyze the RNA probes immobilized on the gold surface where they hybridize with its cognate target cDNAs miR-29a-3p, where it was formed from reverse transcription with mature miR-29a-3p specific stem-looped primers. After the digestion of the RNA probe by RNase H, the intact cDNA was released from the RNA–DNA hybrid and bound to a new RNA probe for another enzymatic reaction cycle to amplify signals. With assay optimization, the detection limit of our MARS assay for miR-29a-3p was found to be 1 nM, and this new assay could be completed within 1 hour without thermal cycling. This non-PCR assay with high selectivity for mature microRNA provides a new platform for rapid disease diagnosis, quarantine and disease control.

Strategies for catalytic lignin depolymerization to yield ethylbenzene chemicals are green, sustainable and environmentally friendly methods. In this study, a series of Ni-CeO 2 /H-ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared via the precipitation method, which catalytically degraded the β-O-4 chemical bonding structure to yield ethylbenzene chemicals. The 2-(2-methoxy-phenoxy)-1-phenylethanol substance (β-O-4) was selected as a typical lignin model compound for the investigation of the intrinsic depolymerization mechanism and the catalytic performance. The results demonstrated that the introduced CeO 2 active phase can effectively promote the catalytic conversion of the β-O-4 chemical bonding structure to ethylbenzene chemicals. Physicochemical data demonstrate that the reaction pathways and hydrogenation selectivity were effectively regulated and controlled by the tuning of the dehydration and hydrogenolysis processes via the introduction of CeO 2 , which realized the selective adjustment of the redox properties and the surface valence states of active species in the catalytic process due to its excellent oxygen transfer performance.

In this paper, In-metal oxide/H-Beta catalysts were synthesized by ion exchange method and In-Co 3 O 4 /H-Beta exhibited the highest catalytic activity for the selective catalytic reduction of NO x with CH 4 in presence of H 2 O and SO 2 . Thus, the synthesis conditions of In-Co 3 O 4 /H-Beta were optimized. The results showed that In-Co 3 O 4 /H-Beta exhibited excellent catalytic performance and high CH 4 selectively when the synthesis was carried out by ion exchange method, the ratio of Si and Al in H-Beta was 25, the ratio of Co 3 O 4 and H-Beta was 5:40, the concentration of ion exchange liquid was 0.033 M and calcination temperature was 500 °C. The NO x removal efficiency was about 87.6 % and N 2 selectivity could reach 96.3% in the presence of H 2 O and SO 2 . Through a series of characterizations, it was concluded that In-Co 3 O 4 /H-Beta owned stable catalyst structure, abundant Brønsted acid sites and the highest ratio of InO + /In 2 O 3 under the optimal synthesis conditions. In addition, the doped of Co 3 O 4 could inhibit the adsorption of sulfate species on the surface of In/H-Beta catalyst, leading to the excellent H 2 O and SO 2 resistance property.

The catalytic reduction of CO₂ into valuable chemicals and fuels is a promising strategy for mitigating global carbon emissions. This study explores the synergistic co-reduction of CO₂ and H₂O using nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) as a dual-function catalyst. Under light irradiation at 300 °C, the CO₂ reduction rate increased by more than 10-fold compared to dark conditions, demonstrating significant photothermal synergy. The study reveals that NZVI undergoes a phase transformation, where Fe₃O₄ functions as a photocatalyst while Fe 0 serves as an electron donor, enabling a unique dual-functionality that facilitates efficient electron transfer. The addition of 10 vol% H₂ stabilizes the reaction, leading to a higher and more consistent CO yield. When investigating the simultaneous reduction of CO₂ and H₂O, we discovered competitive adsorption and reaction pathways that significantly influence product distribution. In-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed three distinct mechanistic pathways for CO₂ conversion: direct C O bond cleavage, a carboxylate-mediated pathway and bicarbonate-mediated pathway, with the carboxylate and bicarbonate pathways being uniquely promoted by H and OH from H₂O dissociation. The addition of H₂O into the CO₂ and H₂ reaction significantly enhanced CH₄ generation due to the extra H source from H₂O dissociation. These findings offer valuable insights into the competitive mechanistic pathways of CO₂-H₂O co-reduction and contribute to the design of more efficient iron-based catalysts for sustainable CO₂ conversion and water splitting in energy and environmental applications.

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy faces major challenges including low clinical response rates, while traditional chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is highly dependent on intratumoral hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) levels. To address these limitations, we constructed a pH-responsive hyaluronic acid (HA)-based nanosystem (HA-Fc@ART) for targeted cancer therapy. This nanoplatform achieves tumor-specific delivery through the specific interaction between HA and CD44 receptors overexpressed on tumor cells. Upon accumulation in the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME), the nanosystem undergoes Schiff base bond hydrolysis to precisely release artemisinin (ART) and ferrocene (Fc), avoiding off-target toxicity. Fc catalyzes the cleavage of the endoperoxide bridge in ART to generate singlet oxygen ( 1 O₂) in an H₂O₂-independent manner. It simultaneously converts endogenous H₂O₂ into hydroxyl radicals (•OH) via the Fenton reaction. These dual pathways synergistically induce a reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst that efficiently eliminates cancer cells. Notably, HA-Fc@ART exhibits a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 35 ± 3%. The photothermal effect accelerates ROS production, and Fe(III) generated during the reaction depletes intracellular glutathione (GSH) to amplify oxidative damage. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that HA-Fc@ART possesses strong tumor-targeting ability. It effectively induces tumor immunogenic cell death (ICD) by releasing damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). This process activates dendritic cell (DC) maturation, promotes macrophage M1 polarization, and enhances T cell infiltration into the TME. In the 4 T1 bilateral tumor model, the combination of HA-Fc@ART with photothermal therapy and anti-PD-L1 (αPD-L1) achieved complete ablation of primary tumors and significant inhibition of distant metastatic tumors. Histological analysis and hemolysis tests confirmed the nanosystem's excellent biosafety profile. This study provides a novel and efficient platform for improving the response rate of ICB therapy, offering new insights into the treatment of metastatic cancers.

Ara h 3, a prevalent peanut allergy, presents a considerable risk to public health. Preventing exposure to food allergens is the paramount method for safeguarding those with allergies. Consequently, we devised a polydopamine (PDA)-modulated gold self-coupling technique to fabricate plasmonic blackbodies (AuNBs@PDA) featuring multibranched configurations. High-performance SERS labels are possible using AuNBs@PDA's PDA coating and multi-branched design. It detects Ara h 3 ultra-sensitively in lateral flow immunochromatographic test strips (LFIA). SERS-LFIA has outstanding specificity, stability, and reproducibility, with a test strip shelf life of over a year and a LOD of 72.2 pg/mL, 295 times higher than standard AuNPs-LFIA. Implementing this technology accurately detects food samples. This sensitive and reliable platform for Ara h 3 detection has great potential for food allergy monitoring.

Achieving high shielding effectiveness in electromagnetic shielding materials relies heavily on high conductivity, yet simultaneously enhancing the absorption loss remains a persistent challenge. Consequently, the study successfully creates efficient electromagnetic shielding composite films with a unique grape-like bunch structure of hollow nanosilver (HCAF) through layer-by-layer assembly. The utilization of poly(dopamine) (PDA) to anchor nanosilver granules (AgNPs) onto cellulose nanofibers (CNF) results in the formation of CNF@PDA@AgNPs. Subsequently, a surface protection etching method is employed to etch the AgNPs, resulting in hollow nanosilver (H-AgNPs) and the generation of CNF@PDA@H-AgNPs. A composite film featuring a grape bunch structure is fabricated by interweaving high aspect ratio CNF with CNF@PDA@H-AgNPs. A substantial quantity of H-AgNPs creates an abundant interface, while the grape bunch structure establishes an efficient conductive network. That enables the composite film to exhibit excellent impedance matching, excellent conductivity loss, abundant polarization loss, and multiple reflection loss. Therefore, the conductivity of the composite film with a thickness of 148.8 μm reaches 212660 S/m, with SET, SEA, and SER 89.56, 79.03, and 10.53 dB in the X band, significantly better than the 76.9, 55.55, and 21.41 dB of the solid AgNPs composite film. The composite film also exhibits remarkable thermal conductivity (The coefficients of in-plane and out-plane thermal conductivity are 4.61 and 0.17 W/(m·K), respectively), mechanical properties, and strain sensing capabilities, making it significant potential for applications in flexible electronics and other related fields.
