Native bone is piezoelectric in nature and generates abundant surface charges under mechanical compression, which regulate osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, adhesion, and so on. Poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is becoming one of the most popular piezoelectric polymers because of its easy processability and good biocompatibility. Unfortunately, because only the β and γ crystal phases of PVDF have piezoelectricity, post-treatments, for example, polarizing at high temperature, are required to enhance the piezoelectricity of PVDF scaffolds after fabrication. In this study, we reported a phase-separation-hydration method to fabricate a calcium phosphate silicate (CPS)-doped PVDF scaffold. Our method fabricated a better piezoelectric scaffold than native bone without further processing (∼ 3 pC/N vs. 0.7 pC/N). In addition, the scaffold was mechanically compatible (∼ 7 MPa) with the cancellous bone with sufficient porosity (∼ 45%) to facilitate osteoblast infiltration and bone ingrowth. The in vitro biocompatibility analyses proved that the prepared CPS-PVDF scaffold was biocompatible with osteoblast cells and encouraged osteoblast redifferentiation. In conclusion, our results suggest that this CPS-PVDF scaffold is a promising candidate for bone tissue engineering applications.

A three-dimensional porous network graphene aerogel (GAs) with large specific area and excellent conductivity was loaded with β-cyclodextrin polymer (Pβ-CD) to serve as a support for immobilization of antibodies. A highly sensitive immunosensor for the cancer marker carbohydrate antigen 15–3 (CA15–3) was designed based on the use of Pβ-CD/GAs. The large specific area of GAs warrants high loading with antibodies, and their excellent electrical conductivity warrants strong electrical signals. Based on the synergistic effect of GAs and Pβ-CD, an immunoassay was designed that is making use of hexacyanoferrate as an electrochemical probe and having a pleasantly low working potential of 0.2 V (vs. SCE). Response is linear in the 0.1 mU mL −1 to 100 U mL −1 activity range, and the lower detection limit is 0.03 mU mL −1 (at S/ N = 3). The immunoassay is stable, selective and reproducible. It was applied to the analysis of spiked samples, and results were satisfactory.

Lanthanum complex with curcumin (La L 2 )/Ca-Zn composite stabilizer was prepared using La L 2 and Ca-Zn stabilizer, in which Ca-Zn stabilizer was obtained from calcium stearate and zinc stearate at their mass ratio of 5:1. The rheological properties and dynamic thermal stability of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) stabilized by La L 2 /Ca-Zn composite stabilizers were estimated through a torque rheometer. The degraded fragments obtained from the torque experiments were measured by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and ultraviolet–visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy. La L 2 had an effective synergistic effect with Ca-Zn stabilizer. Compared with La L 2 , La L 2 /Ca-Zn composite stabilizer could more significantly improve the rheological properties and dynamic thermal stability of PVC. An optimal synergistic effect could be observed when the mass ratio of La L 2 with Ca-Zn stabilizer was about 8:2, in which the plasticizing torque and equilibrium torque of PVC was 33.3 N m and 22.5 N m, respectively, and its dynamic thermal stabilizing time was 25.1 min. The possible thermal stability mechanism of La L 2 /Ca-Zn composite stabilizer for PVC was suggested based on the evaluation of FTIR spectroscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy.

Sewage sludge treatment remains a critical environmental challenge due to its high moisture content and heavy metal contamination. The Fe 2+ /Ca(ClO) 2 /tannic acid (TA) combined conditioning has shown great performances on sludge dewatering, but its influence on heavy metal removal and risk assessment was unclear. In this study the speciation transformation of heavy metals and related mechanisms were comprehensively investigated. The results demonstrated that the sludge conditioning simultaneously enhanced sludge dewatering and promoted heavy metal removal under optimized conditions. Notably, Zn, Cd, and Ni were effectively removed from the sludge solid phase, with removal efficiencies of 39.12 %, 52.49 %, and 30.86 %, respectively. Moreover, the conditioning significantly reduced the ecological risk posed by heavy metals, as indicated by a marked decrease in comprehensive risk index from high to medium levels. The mechanisms involved in the combined effects of oxidation, acidification, and ion binding. Oxidation disrupted extracellular polymeric substance structure, while acidification increased surface positivity, enhancing heavy metal desorption. The Fe 2+ /Ca 2+ competed with heavy metals for binding sites. Additionally, pH reduction and TA chelation further facilitated the transfer of heavy metals into the liquid phase. As a result, the potential mobility index for heavy metals Zn, Cd, Ni, Hg, and As decreased by 33.93 %, 35.98 %, 21.40 %, 26.76 %, and 50.57 %, respectively. This study provides a promising strategy for the safe and resource-efficient utilization of sewage sludge.

In this study, a series of cost-effective and eco-friendly Ca-Mg-Al and Ni-modified Ca-Mg-Al catalysts were successfully synthesized with different methods (coprecipitation, impregnation and mechanical mixing method) and applied to catalytic pyrolysis vapor upgrading of oleic acid (OA) to produce gasoline-kerosene rich production using methanol as a hydrogen donor . In addition, the effects of the process parameters (catalyst type, OA to methanol ratio, pyrolysis/catalytic temperature, catalyst loading, feedstock injection volume) on the product yield and selectivity were explored, and the reuse properties and deactivation mechanism were also evaluated. Active Ni species coupled with methanol were more conducive to enhancing the catalyst activity and OA conversion and obviously increased the selectivity toward the gasoline-kerosene product. The impregnation method was favorable for the formation of NiAl 2 O 4 species, and coprecipitation method suppressed the formation of NiAl 2 O 4 species. The enhanced activity and deoxygenation selectivity of the coprecipitation method (NiCaMgAl) at lower pyrolysis temperatures was attributed to the abundant higher specific surface area and pore size, higher active metal oxide (Ni 2+ ) and well-active Ni dispersion with a smaller particle size, as well as the lower acidity and partially oxidized Ni, which suppressed the NiAl 2 O 4 spinel phase formation compared with the Ni/Ca-Mg/Al (impregnation) and Ca-Mg-Al (mixing) catalysts, which was beneficial to the decarbonylation/ decarboxylation reaction and inhibited the hydrocracking reaction of C C. Therefore, 100% conversion, 97.12% hydrocarbon yield, 54.53% gasoline and 58.80% kerosene content over NiCaMgAl catalyst were obtained under optimal conditions (pyrolysis/catalytic temperature = 450/500°C, catalyst loading = 1.5 g, feedstock injection volume = 0.1 ml/min and OA to methanol ratio = 3:1). Moreover, NiCaMgAl catalyst also demonstrated good reusability and hydrothermal stability performance due to the lower amount of coke deposition with a lower graphitized structure, which suppressed sintering.

In this work, near-infrared light responsive upconversion nanoparticles TiO 2 /(Ca,Y)F 2 :Tm,Yb were hydrothermally prepared for tumor control. Moreover, femtosecond laser was adopted to reduce particle size and aggregation of TiO 2 /(Ca,Y)F 2 :Tm,Yb, as a strategy to enhance its dispersity. In vitro studies of the biocompatibility and tumor control efficacy of TiO 2 /(Ca,Y)F 2 :Tm,Yb were carried out via co-culturing human pancreatic carcinoma cells (CFPAC-1). It was found in the absence of near-infrared light, TiO 2 /(Ca,Y)F 2 :Tm,Yb showed no toxicity to CFPAC-1 cells. On contrast, when exposed to near-infrared light, particles exhibited irradiation time, irradiation interval and particle concentration dependent suppression of CFPAC-1 cells proliferation along with portion of S phase cells increase. A nude mouse model with CFPAC-1 cells injection was established and TiO 2 /(Ca,Y)F 2 :Tm,Yb was subsequently applied for in vivo tumor control. A 15 days tracking confirmed the antitumor capability of near-infrared light excited TiO 2 /(Ca,Y)F 2 :Tm,Yb. Overall, we anticipate that the here-introduced TiO 2 /(Ca,Y)F 2 :Tm,Yb can serve as an effective agent for photodynamic antitumor therapy. Graphical Abstract

By virtue of the metal organic framework UiO-66-NH 2, an ingenious electrochemiluminescence immunosensor was successfully constructed for subtle exploration of the breast cancer biomarker CA 15-3. In this protocol, Ru(bpy) 3 Cl 2 ·6H 2 O (Ru(bpy) 3 2+ ), as a conventional luminescent reagent, provides a stable and strong luminescent signal. The UiO-66-NH 2 serves as a carrier to provide a large specific surface area for enhancing the electrochemical luminescence signal response of Ru(bpy) 3 2+ . UiO-66-NH 2 , Ru(bpy) 3 2+ are fixed together with Nafion membrane, and CA 15-3 antibody is covalently conjugated onto the membrane through the amide reaction. Ru(bpy) 3 2+ @UiO-66-NH 2 is used as the detection system. The experimental results reveal that the ECL signal decreased obviously after the CA 15-3 antigen molecule is captured on the immunosensor, with the capture of manifesting the principle of electrochemical luminescence quenching detection. Under optimal conditions, the sensor is sensitive and selective for detecting CA 15-3 with the detection range from 5 × 10 −4 to 5 × 10 2 U mL -1 and the low LOD (1.7705 × 10 -5 U mL -1 ). Furthermore, multiple experiments elucidate that the as-prepared sensor could be used for susceptibly detect CA 15-3 in actual samples, which has underlying application prospects in biological analysis.

Biomass-derived chemical looping gasification (BCLG) is a novel technology for lignocellulose energy applications . Ca–Fe oxygen carriers have been proven to be a potential material for efficient lignocellulose conversion and hydrogen-enriched syngas production in process studies. In this study, Thermogravimetry-mass spectrometry (TG-MS), pyrolysis chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) and fixed-bed experiments were conducted, and the cellulose BCLG product was analyzed to explore the mechanism of reaction between Ca–Fe OCs and biomass char or volatiles. The mechanism of the synergistic effect of Ca–Fe was analyzed to explain the characteristics of the OCs. The results suggest the Ca-based materials act as catalysts to promote the decomposition of cellulose monomers at primary reaction and char at secondary reaction, and also promote the reforming and oxidation of volatiles by chemisorption . Ca participates in the construction of inert substances, such as Ca 2 Fe 2 O 5 , to avoid the deep oxidation of CO and H 2 . Fe-based material supplies oxygen and promotes the reforming of volatile. Compared with Fe 2 O 3 and CaO/Fe 2 O 3 , CaFe 2 O 4 shows a better performance on carbon conversion and H 2 production below 850 °C.

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a serious inflammatory disease that is often associated with high mortality rate. It tends to trigger a cascade of systemic inflammation that causes damage to multiple organs, such as the lungs and kidneys. Currently, there is no effective treatment plan to reverse the progress of SAP. The occurrence and development of SAP are associated with oxidative stress (OS) and ferroptosis. In this study, the Ca/Fe-based nanozymes are used as multi-enzyme simulants, which can effectively remove the reactive oxygen species and regulate ferroptosis to prevent and treat SAP. Notably, we make two trials for prevention and treatment of SAP. Under the condition of good biocompatibility, the Ca/Fe-based nanozymes effectively reduce the levels of serum pancreatitis-related biomarkers and inflammatory factors which involved in local and systemic inflammatory response. Moreover, the Ca/Fe nanozymes significantly increase the level of ferroptosis regulator of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) and ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) in pancreas. These results demonstrate that the Ca/Fe-based nanozymes not only alleviate SAP but also mitigate subsequent multi-organ damage, thus providing an effective strategy of Ca/Fe nanozymes for treating SAP-related disorders in clinical research.

The combination of multi-metallic alloys and support materials is a promising approach for the design of electrocatalysts. In this study, Pd-M (M = Fe, Sb, Pb, Sn, Ag) bimetallic alloys embedded composites of 2D Ca-based metal–organic framework (Ca-MOF) nanosheets and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were fabricated by a facile hydrothermal and impregnation reduction method, then applied as ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR) electrocatalysts. Remarkably, the forward peak current density of the best catalytic performer PdAg@rGO/Ca-MOF is as high as 258.30 mA cm −2 , which is 9.55 times greater than that of Pd/C. It also exhibits the biggest electrochemical active surface area of 3022.51 m 2 g −1 . After 3600 s chronoamperometry test, the retained current density of PdAg@rGO/Ca-MOF is about 87.94 % of the initial current density. These results imply that bimetallic Pd-M@rGO/Ca-MOF have superior electrocatalytic activity and anti-CO poisoning capacity compared to monometallic and Pd/C for EGOR, especially PdAg@rGO/Ca-MOF. The enhanced EGOR performance is due to the combined effect of Pd-M alloys and folded thin layer wrapped nanosheet rGO/Ca-MOF composites.

The dielectric layer plays a key role in regulating electromagnetic wave broadband scattering based on meta-surface technology. Herein, the physical properties of composite powder, prepared by spray drying of CaO-B 2 O 3 -SiO 2 (CBS) glass-ceramic powder and Al 2 O 3 in different mass ratios, are systematically investigated. Meanwhile, a high enthalpy atmospheric plasma spraying equipment is utilized to prepare CBS/Al 2 O 3 composite coatings , and the morphology, physical properties and dielectric properties of the composite coating are analyzed. The XRD and DSC data of the composite coating reveal that the crystallization behavior of β-CaSiO 3 and CaB 2 O 4 gradually disappear with the increase of Al 2 O 3 content. Hence, only CaAl 2 Si 2 O 8 phase is observed during heat treatment. The experimental results confirm that the dielectric properties of CBS/Al 2 O 3 composite coating conform to the rule of mixture for composite materials. Also, the dielectric properties are affected by porosity and crystallization rate.

A propylene oxide (PO)-driven fast sol-gel route followed with a post high temperature calcination were utilized to synthesize Ca x Sr 1- x Al 2 O 4 : Eu 2+ cationic solid solution phosphors with micro-spherical morphologies and improved internal quantum efficiencies. The polyethylene oxide (PEO) was also employed to induce the phase separation of Ca x Sr 1- x Al 2 O 4 : Eu 2+ precursors to get monodispersed spherical morphologies in the sol-gel system. Benefit from uniform copolymerization of each chemical components and pyrolysis of organic matter, Ca, Sr, Al and O were homogenously distributed in the produced Ca x Sr 1- x Al 2 O 4 : Eu 2+ cage like microspheres. It helps to efficiently trap incident light and to improve the PL efficiencies. By changing the ratio of Ca/Sr, infinite solid solution polycrystalline phosphors, Ca x Sr 1- x Al 2 O 4 : Eu 2+ microspheres with x = 0~1, can be obtained and their PL emission can be gradually tuned from green to white to blue. Micro-spherical SrAl 2 O 4 : Eu 2+ , Ca x Sr 1- x Al 2 O 4 : Eu 2+ and CaAl 2 O 4 : Eu 2+ phosphors exhibited internal quantum efficiencies as high as 71.1, 35.3~45.9 and 75.3%, respectively.
