The manufacturing of perovskite solar cells under ambient conditions is desirable, yet the efficiency of p–i–n perovskite solar cells fabricated in air still lags behind those made in an inert atmosphere. Here we introduce an ionic pair stabilizer, dimethylammonium formate (DMAFo), into the perovskite precursor solution to prevent the degradation of perovskite precursors. DMAFo inhibits the oxidization of iodide ions and deprotonation of organic cations, improving the crystallinity and reducing defects in the resulting perovskite films. We show the generation of additional p-type defects during ambient air fabrication that suggests the need for improving bulk properties of the perovskite film beyond surface passivation. Upon addition of DMAFo, we demonstrate that the efficiency of inverted p–i–n solar cells based on perovskite layers with 1.53-eV and 1.65-eV bandgaps fabricated under ambient conditions (25–30 °C, 35–50% relative humidity) increases by 15–20%. We achieve a certified stabilized efficiency of 24.72% for the 1.53-eV cell, on a par with state-of-the-art counterparts fabricated in an inert atmosphere.

Petal bismuth salt semiconductors are promising as visible-light-driven photocatalysts, but their short service times due to strong oxidation limit their application. In this research, the in situ construction of a p–n heterojunction, by growing BiOX on a KBiO3 surface, is used as a strategy to improve the performance and stability. Evaluation of the photocatalytic degradation of crystal violet and phenol shows that the KBiO3/BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I) heterostructures exhibit significant improvement in photocatalytic performance and stability compared to KBiO3. The best one, KBiO3/(5.85%) BiOI, shows 98% degradation of crystal violet within 20 min, and of phenol within 1.5 h. No significant performance decay can be detected after repeated use. The development of KBiO3/BiOX heterostructure improves the applicability of KBiO3 as an efficient visible-light-driven photocatalyst.

Rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I) pectin are regarded as strong galectin-3 (Gal-3) antagonist because of galactan sidechains. The present study focused on discussing the effects of more structural regions in pectin on the anti-Gal-3 activity. The water-soluble pectin (WSP) recovered from citrus canning processing water was categorized as RG-I pectin. The controlled enzymatic hydrolysis was employed to sequentially remove the α-1,5-arabinan, homogalaturonan and β-1,4-galactan in WSP. The Gal-3-binding affinity KD (kd/ka) of WSP and debranched pectins were calculated to be 0.32 μM, 0.48 μM, 0.56 μM and 1.93 μM. Moreover, based on the more sensitive cell line (MCF-7) model, the IC 30 value of WSP was lower than these of modified pectins, indicating decreased anti-Gal-3 activity. Our results suggested that the total amount of neutral sugar sidechains, the length of arabinan and cooperation between HG and RG-I played important roles in the anti-Gal-3 activity of WSP, not the Gal/Ara ratio or RG-I/HG ratio. These results provided a new insight into structure-activity relationship of citrus segment membrane RG-I as a galectin-3 antagonist and a new functional food.

Improving the reproducibility of electrochemical signal remains a great challenge over the past decades. In this work, i-motif oligonucleotide probe-based electrochemical DNA (E-DNA) sensor is introduced for the first time as a regenerated sensing platform, which enhances the reproducibility of electrochemical signal, for label-free detection of glucose and urea. The addition of glucose or urea is able to activate glucose oxidase-catalyzed or urease-catalyzed reaction, inducing or destroying the formation of i-motif oligonucleotide probe. The conformational switch of oligonucleotide probe can be recorded by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Thus, the difference of electron transfer resistance is utilized for the quantitative determination of glucose and urea. We further demonstrate that the E-DNA sensor exhibits high selectivity , excellent stability, and remarkable regenerated ability. The human serum analysis indicates that this simple and regenerated strategy holds promising potential in future biosensing applications.

A new method to label fucoidan sulfate was established with tyramine and fluorescein isothiocyanate isomer I (FITC). Fluorescence spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography verified the successful labelling of fucoidan by FITC. The results of the single-pass intestinal perfusion indicated that the jejunum and ileum are the main absorption sites, and there was carrier saturation. In addition, fucoidan sulfate at 1 mg/ml had no inhibitory effect on Caco-2 cell proliferation. Studies on the transmembrane transport mechanism showed that fucoidan can be absorbed because the apparent permeability coefficient of the drugs (P app ) A → B was 3.78 + 0.03 ×10 −6 and that of B → A was 1.42 + 0.19 ×10 −6 . The peak absorption of fucoidan occurred at 120 min after administration; moreover, the higher the concentration used, the worse the absorption was, suggesting the saturation of transport carriers. The absorption was temperature dependent: the absorption at 37°C was much better than that at 4°C. Further, the absorption of fucoidan sulfate might rely on clathrin endocytosis as chlorpromazine (10 μg/ml) significantly inhibited it.

It is extremely significant to study the trap state passivation and minimize the trap states of perovskite to achieve high-performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, we have first revealed and demonstrated that a novel p-type conductor Cu(thiourea)I [Cu(Tu)I] incorporated in perovskite layer can effectively passivate the trap states of perovskite via interacting with the under-coordinated metal cations and halide anions at the perovskite crystal surface. The trap state energy level of perovskite can be shallowed from 0.35–0.45 eV to 0.25–0.35 eV. In addition, the incorporated Cu(Tu)I can participate in constructing the p–i bulk heterojunctions with perovskite, leading to an increase of the depletion width from 126 to 265 nm, which is advantageous for accelerating hole transport and reducing charge carrier recombination. For these two synergistic effects, Cu(Tu)I can play a much better role than that of the traditional p-type conductor CuI, probably due to its identical valence band maximum with that of perovskite, which enables to not only lower the trap state energy level to a greater extent but also eliminate the potential wells for holes at the p–i heterojunctions. After optimization, a breakthrough efficiency of 19.9% has been obtained in the inverted PSCs with Cu(Tu)I as the trap state passivator of perovskite.

We compared phospholipids (PLs), PL fatty acid (FA) composition, and milk fat globule size and structure in human milk (n = 120) from mothers of full-term and preterm infants during lactation (colostrum, transition, 1 mo, 2 mo, and 3 mo) and 8 brands of infant formulas. The absolute quantification of PLs was analyzed using 31P NMR spectroscopy. Sphingomyelin was the dominant PLs (35.01 ± 3.31%) in human milk, whereas phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine were the dominant PLs in infant formulas. The PL content in preterm milk increased during lactation, whereas that in term milk remained stable. Saturated FAs (mainly 16:0 and 18:0) were the most abundant (>60%) PL FA in both preterm and term milk and increased throughout lactation. The mean diameter of milk fat globules in infant formulas was much smaller than that found in human milk (200 nm vs 5.63 μm). Significant differences were observed between human milk and infant formulas with regard to PLs, suggesting that more research is needed to mimic the PL profile in infant formulas.

A fluorimetric and colorimetric method is described for the determination of glutathione (GSH) and silver (I). It is based on the use of MnO 2 nanosheets that were prepared by solution mixing and exfoliation. They display oxidase-mimicking activity and can catalyze the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) to form yellow 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP) with an absorption maximum at 410 nm. DAP also has a yellow fluorescence (with a peak at 560 nm). The MnO 2 nanosheets can be rapidly reduced to Mn 2+ by GSH. This reduces the efficiency of the oxidase mimic MnO 2 and causes a decrease in fluorescence and absorbance intensity. However, on addition of Ag + , a complex is formed with GSH. It prevents the destruction of MnO 2 nanosheets so that the enzyme mimicking activity is retained. A dual-method for the determination of GSH and Ag(I) was developed. It has excellent sensitivity for GSH with lower detection limits of 62 nM (fluorimetric) and 0.94 μM (colorimetric). The respective data for Ag(I) are 70 nM and 1.15 μM. The assay was successfully applied to the determination of GSH and Ag(I) in spiked serum samples.
Schematic presentation of a method for colorimetric and fluorometric determination of glutathione (GSH) and silver(I). MnO 2 nanosheets are reduced to Mn(II) by GSH. This reduces the enzyme-mimicking activity of MnO 2 nanosheets and causes a decrease in fluorescence and absorbance. On addition of Ag(I), the enzyme-like activity is increasingly retained. A decrease in fluorescence and absorbance is not observed any longer.

A bifunctional comonomer β-methylhydrogen itaconate (MHI) was employed to prepare high molecular weight poly[acrylonitrile-co-(β-methylhydrogen itaconate)] [P(AN-co-MHI)] copolymers by radical polymerization in a mixed solvent of dimethyl sulfoxide/deionized water = 60/40 (wt/wt), which was used as a carbon fiber precursor instead of acrylonitrile terpolymers for improving the stabilization and spinnability simultaneously. The structure and stabilization of P(AN-co-MHI) copolymers with different monomer feed ratios were characterized by elemental analysis (EA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results show that both the polymerization conversion and molecular weight reduce with the increase of MHI content in the feed due to the larger molecular volume of MHI. The monomer reactivity ratios were calculated by Fineman–Ross and Kelen–Tüdõs methods and the reactivity of MHI is higher than that of AN. Two parameters Es = A1618 cm−1/A2244 cm−1 and SI = (I0 − Is)/I0 were defined to evaluate the extent of stabilization and the activation energy (Ea) of the cyclization. The FTIR, XRD and DSC results show that P(AN-co-MHI) copolymers exhibit significantly improved stabilization characteristics than the PAN homopolymer and poly(acrlonitrile–methyl acrylate–acrylic acid) terpolymer, such as a larger extent of stabilization, lower initiation temperature and smaller Ea of cyclization, which is attributed to the ionic initiation of the MHI comonomer and is beneficial for preparing high performance carbon fiber.

A poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) grafted bentonite (Bent) was prepared by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP), followed by modification with tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) through a ring-opening reaction of the epoxy groups in PGMA to form polyamine grafted bentonite (Bent–PGMA–TEPA). The as-prepared novel material was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The ability of Bent–PGMA–TEPA to adsorb Orange I (OI), a negatively charged dye, was tested. The effects of pH, initial concentration, contact time and temperature were investigated. The equilibrium adsorption isotherm and adsorption kinetics fitted well with the Langmuir model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model respectively.

This study presents the rational design of a magnetically recoverable CoFe 2 O 4 /BiVO 4 @g-C 3 N 4 (CFO/BVO@CN) ternary heterojunction for highly efficient levofloxacin (LVFX) degradation via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation under visible light. The key innovation lies in the synergistic integration of a unique charge transfer pathway with interfacial M-N (M = Co, Fe, Bi, V) chemical bonding, as unequivocally evidenced by XPS. This atomic-level interfacial engineering creates efficient electron channels that not only promote the spatial separation of photogenerated carriers but also dramatically accelerate the dual redox cycles of metal species (Co 2+ /Co 3+ , Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ ).Crucially, the V 4+ /V 5+ pair functions as an efficient electron shuttle, facilitating the rapid regeneration of PMS-active Co 2+ and Fe 2+ sites and sustaining a high-efficiency catalytic process. Consequently, the optimized system achieves an exceptional LVFX removal rate of 98.8% within 30 min, driven predominantly by singlet oxygen ( 1 O₂) and superoxide radicals ( • O 2 − ). The catalyst demonstrates robust stability over multiple cycles, facile magnetic separation, and effective detoxification of LVFX. This work provides a novel paradigm for developing multifunctional photocatalytic systems by marrying heterojunction engineering with atomic-level interface modulation for sustainable water purification.

Intrinsic and surface defects are the crucial factors that affect the stability and luminescence efficiency of nanocrystals (NCs). Ion-doping and surface passivation are considered as the most effective strategies to suppress the intrinsic and surface defects of NCs, respectively. Herein, an efficient and facile double passivation process, simultaneously realizes ion-doping and surface passivation, for Cs 3 Cu 2 X 5 (X Cl, Br and I) NCs is developed by using potassium oleate (K-OA) as passivator. K ion is used as ion-doping passivation and OA ion is used as the organic ligand for surface passivation of NCs. Compared to the free passivated NCs, the Photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQYs) of dual-passivated Cs 3 Cu 2 X 5 (X Cl, Br and I) NCs increase significantly from 2.87%, 11.6% and 49.4–31%, 69.9%, and 97.2%, respectively. Moreover, the stability of proposed NCs is greatly improved (Cs 3 Cu 2 Cl 5 NCs maintain 63% of PL efficiency after 100 h, Cs 3 Cu 2 Br 5 and Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 NCs maintain 65% and 97% of PL efficiency after 100 days, respectively) at 50–86% relative humidity and room temperature under ambient atmosphere.
