Lithium sulfur (Li–S) battery is considered as one of the most viable candidates for next-generation rechargeable batteries. However, the development of Li–S battery is severely hindered by the stubborn “shuttle” issue that arises from the dissolution of the intermediate polysulfides. Herein, a new kind of organosulfur polymer composite is designed as cathode material for Li–S batteries. Via a facile two-step heating method, the ring opening S is copolymerized with triallyl isocyanurate. The resulting S-triallyl isocyanurate organosulfur polymer composite (STI) demonstrates a unique two-phase structure: ultrafine monoclinic S particles embedded in the organosulfur polymer matrix, which enables a S content as high as 90 wt%. The STI cathode delivers a high initial reversible capacity of 904 mA h g −1 at 0.5 C, and an ultraslow capacity decay rate of 0.017% over 350 cycles at 1 C. The work offers new insights into the design of S-rich copolymer composite cathode for highly-stable Li–S batteries.

Materials with low thermal conductivity have received significant attention across various research fields, including thermal insulation materials, thermal barrier coatings, and thermoelectric materials. Exploring novel materials with intrinsically low thermal conductivity and investigating their phonon transport properties, chemical bonding, and atomic coordination are crucial. In this study, a novel ternary sulfide is successfully discovered, Cu 2 ZrS 3 , which is achieved by introducing copper ions into both the interlayer and intralayer of ZrS 2 . The resulting structure encompasses various coordination forms within each layer, such as [CuS 4 ], [ZrS 6 ], and [CuS 3 ], leading to pronounced phonon anharmonicity induced by the asymmetric bonding of tri-coordinated Cu atoms within the [ZrS 6 ] layer. As a result, Cu 2 ZrS 3 exhibits intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity ( κ L ) of about 0.83 W m −1 K −1 at 300 K and 0.35 W m −1 K −1 at 683 K, which are in the exceptionally low level among sulfides. In comparison to the conventional approach of inserting guests between layers, the substitution of atoms within layers provides a novel and effective strategy for designing low κ L materials in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs).

The state-of-the-art copper indium gallium selenide Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin-film solar cells are fabricated based on vacuum methods and use cadmium sulfide as the buffer layer. Considering the cost-effective production and environmental safety, fabrication of a CIGS absorber via the solution process and using a cadmium-free buffer layer is desirable. Here, we report engineering of a chemical-bath-deposited zinc sulfoxide Zn(S,O) buffer layer for solution-processed CIGS solar cells. Our results show that optimization of the deposition time and annealing process of the Zn(S,O) film to avoid cracking is critical to obtain a dense and uniform Zn(S,O) buffer layer. Benefited from the large band gap of Zn(S,O) and light-soaking-induced device performance improvement, a champion CIGS solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of 12.0% (without antireflection coating) has been achieved. This is the first time that the Zn(S,O) buffer layer has been applied to a solution-processed CIGS absorber and achieves highly efficient CIGS solar cells. The effect of light-soaking on the heterojunction property and the stability of device performance are discussed.

ALP1 is a structurally defined polysaccharide isolated from Amomum villosum T.L. Wu fruits with an average molecular weight of 26.1 kDa. Previous studies have demonstrated that ALP1 promotes growth performance of piglet by regulating proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells. However, the molecular mechanism remains incompletely understood. In the present study, the absorbability of ALP1 by porcine small intestine epithelial cells and regulating mechanism of ALP1 on cell proliferation were investigated. The results showed that ALP1 resists gastrointestinal degradation and is efficiently absorbed by intestinal epithelial cells via endocytosis. Furthermore, ALP1 facilitates cell cycle progression through upregulating expressions of cdk4 and cyclin e , resulting in an increased proportion of cells in the S and G2/M phases. These findings provide insights into the cellular mechanisms underlying the growth-promoting effects of ALP1 and highlight the potential of dietary polysaccharides as functional agents for enhancing animal growth and gut health.

Ensuring broad-spectrum visible-light absorption and efficient electron extraction is essential for enhancing the efficiency of photocatalytic hydrogen production. To achieve this, manipulating carrier dynamics through cocatalyst heterojunction engineering has attracted considerable concern. However, conventional narrow-bandgap Cu–In–Zn–S (CIZS) nanocrystals (NCs) typically exhibit limited photocatalytic activity due to severe exciton annihilation. Herein, two-dimensional (2D) CIZS nanobelts (NBs) were coupled with Ni 9 S 8 cocatalyst to construct a library of CIZS/Ni 9 S 8 Schottky heterojunctions synthesized via a combined colloidal one-pot and hot-injection strategy. As anticipated, the CIZS/2.0%Ni 9 S 8 heterojunction displayed the optimal photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity of 2.75 mmol g −1 h −1 , ≈3.31 times higher than that of pristine CIZS NBs (0.83 mmol g −1 h −1 ). Experimental results uncovered that the enhanced photocatalytic performance originated from the formation of the CIZS/2.0%Ni 9 S 8 Schottky heterojunction, which facilitated efficient charge transfer from CIZS NBs to Ni 9 S 8 and hindered the return of electrons. Moreover, Ni 9 S 8 serves as active catalytic sites, significantly accelerating surface proton reduction reactions. This study provides valuable insights into the rational design and precise synthesis of colloidal multinary Cu-based chalcogenide heterojunctions for efficient photocatalytic energy conversion.

Elevated homocysteine (Hcy) is an independent risk factor for hypertension, and kidney is an important organ for Hcy metabolism and blood pressure regulation, and its damage is closely related to the process of hypertension. Recent evidence suggests that ferroptosis, an oxidative stress-related form of cell death, contributes significantly to hypertensive organ damage. However, whether Hcy aggravates renal injury in H-type hypertension by destroying renal hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) metabolism and driving ferroptosis is still lack of direct evidence. In this study, the H-type hypertensive rat model induced by high methionine diet combined with HK-2 cell model was studied. We observed a significant increase in blood pressure and plasma Hcy in the Hcy group, accompanied by renal dysfunction and renal tubular injury. Specifically, in the renal tissue of Hcy group rats, the levels of KIM-1, Fe 2+ and malondialdehyde (MDA) were increased, glutathione/glutathione disulfide (GSH/GSSG) ratio decreased, SLC7A11 expression was down-regulated, and GPX4 activity was inhibited. Concurrently, H 2 S levels and cystathionine-beta-synthase (CBS) activity were decreased. In vitro experiments using HK-2 cells confirmed that Hcy could down-regulate the expression of CBS, cystathionine-gamma-lyase (CSE), SLC7A11, GPX4 and GSH/GSSG ratio, and up-regulate MDA and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Treatment with H 2 S donor (NaHS) or ferroptosis inhibitors (Ferrostatin-1, Fer-1) could rescue these changes. Collectively, our results demonstrate that high Hcy promotes hypertension by suppressing endogenous H 2 S generation, downregulating the SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling axis, and inducing ferroptosis. These findings reveal a new mechanism by which Hcy aggravates hypertension by inhibiting H 2 S synthesis and inducing ferroptosis.

Copper (Cu) doping modifies the band structure of TiO 2 by slightly narrowing the bandgap and shifting the Fermi level, while creating localized states that serve as temporary electron reservoirs to suppress carriers rapid recombination. On this basis, a ternary heterojunction Cu-TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 (Cu-CT) was constructed by anchoring Cu-TiO 2 onto g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets. The synergistic interaction between Cu-doping and the S-scheme interfacial configuration generates an internal electric field that promotes vectorial carrier migration, enabling electrons in the conduction band of Cu-TiO 2 and holes in the valence band of g-C 3 N 4 . This spatial separation preserves strong redox potentials and markedly suppresses recombination. Consequently, Cu-CT achieves a hydrogen evolution rate of 10.21 mmol g -1 h -1 , more than twenty times higher than pristine TiO 2 . In-situ XPS, KPFM, and DFT analyses collectively validate the S-scheme charge-transfer pathway and highlight the synergistic role of Cu doping with heterojunction engineering, providing mechanistic insights to the rational design of advanced ternary photocatalysts for efficient solar-driven hydrogen production.

Elemental sulfur (S 8 ), an abundant petroleum byproduct, is leveraged as a linchpin monomer in an organobase-catalyzed step-growth addition polymerization with dithiols and diacrylates at ambient temperature. This method enables the scalable synthesis of poly(ester disulfide)s—featuring alternating ester and disulfide linkages—with exceptional atom economy ( > 95% yield), M n up to 42.0 kDa, and dual functionality: biodegradable ester units and stimuli-responsive disulfides. Mechanistic studies reveal a chemoselective three-component coupling involving S 8 ring-opening, disulfide anion formation, and Michael addition, quantitatively generating symmetric and asymmetric disulfides in near-equimolar ratios. Thermal and mechanical characterizations of the poly(ester disulfide)s reveal programmable properties: High thermal stability ( T d,5% = 248–281 °C), tunable phase behavior (amorphous T g = −64 °C to semicrystalline T m = 142 °C), and reductive degradation. By overcoming traditional limitations of harsh conditions and monomer scope, this strategy establishes S 8 as a versatile feedstock for functional polymers, opening avenues for dynamic materials in biomedicine and environmental remediation.

Scabies (or Sarcoptic mange) is a highly contagious skin disease caused by the ectoparasite Sarcoptes scabiei. The resistance of S. scabiei to common acaricides like permethrin has been reported, yet their precise mechanisms remain elusive. Glutathione S-Transferase (GSTs) constitute an important class of detoxification enzymes. In this study, we found that the expression levels of SsGSTd3 and SsGSTd5 in S. scabiei were significantly up-regulated after exposure to LC 30 of permethrin, amitraz, and selamectin, suggesting that SsGSTd3 and SsGSTd5 are involved in the detoxification of these acaricides. Therefore, we used in vitro metabolic assay and bacterial survival assays to further investigate their specific detoxification mechanisms. Co-incubation with the acaricides reduced the 1-Chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) activities of both recombinant proteins to varying degrees. HPLC analysis revealed that SsGSTd3 and SsGSTd5 metabolized 35.24% and 53.28% of permethrin, respectively, but did not metabolize amitraz. SsGSTd3 metabolized a small fraction of selamectin (3.25%). In addition, bacterial survival assays demonstrated that under oxidative stress induced by CHP and H 2 O 2 , the OD 600 values of E. coli overexpressing SsGSTd3 or SsGSTd5 were significantly higher than those of control group, indicating robust antioxidant activity for both proteins. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that SsGSTd3 and SsGSTd5 facilitate permethrin detoxification via a dual mechanism—metabolic and alleviation of oxidative stress, and may represent an early warning sign of decreased susceptibility to amitraz and selamectin through their antioxidant functions.

Lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) have attracted much attention in the field of electrochemical energy storage due to their high energy density and low cost. However, the ‘shuttle effect’ of sulfur cathode, resulting in the poor cyclic performance of batteries, is a big barrier for the development of LSBs. To overcome this critical drawback, herein, a matrix of well-designed double carbon shells-encapsulated metallic Mo 2 C nanoparticles (Mo 2 C/C@C) is facilely achieved as an efficient sulfur host for high-performance LSBs. During the electrochemical process, the embedded polar and metallic Mo 2 C nanoparticles could effectively retard polysulfide migration. While for the carbon layers, they can not only act as conductive matrix but also promote the restriction for all sulfur species and maintain the structural stability simultaneously. Specially, the inner carbon layer is mainly for encapsulation and the outside one for surface-modification. As a result, such well-designed Mo 2 C/C@C–S cathode could effectively adsorb soluble polysulfides both from chemical and physical aspects, and well confines them inside the porous structure of Mo 2 C/C@C, thus achieving a high reversible capacity and superior cycling performance.

Lithium−sulfur (Li−S) batteries are of great interest in next-generation flexible electronic devices for their much higher energy density. However, current Li−S batteries are still facing the problem about rational construction of the flexible power sources. Herein, a novel flexible and integrated electrode is fabricated through a non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method with poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) (PMIA) as the flexible support for Li-S batteries. Notably, the integrated electrode shows the capability of adapting the volume expansion of cathode materials, inhibiting the diffusion of lithium polysulfides and suppressing the dendrite growth of Li. As a result, battery assembled with the fabricated electrode exhibits a capacity of 773.6 mAh g −1 at 1 C. After 600 cycles, the capacity still remains at 565.5 mAh g −1 with the calculated capacity fade of 0.045% per cycle. This proposed strategy is advanced and feasible, which has great potential in next-generation portable electronic devices.

A novel S/BiOCl thermocatalyst in response to heat excitation was successfully synthesized by a one-step method and then added into polymeric matrix to give corresponding films. The results obtained show that the surfaces of as-prepared films with S/BiOCl were truly degraded via thermocatalytic reactions at ambient conditions. The average molecular weights of experimental films have fallen dramatically, comparing to the comparisons. In addition, the changes of chemical groups were simultaneously observed in the process. Thus this thermocatalytic process maybe a very fascinating route to come true the degradation of polymeric films with lower temperature triggered.
