The waste of carbon sources and greenhouse gas production during wastewater treatment have become extremely important environmental issues. Herein, the BiOBr/BiVO4 compounds with defect-induced frustrated Lewis acid–base pairs (DFLPs) and internal charge transfer were fabricated to convert the organic pollutants into CO with nearly 100% selectivity. The oxygen vacancy (Ov) induced the built-in electric field in BiOBr/BiVO4 to create directional charge transfer from BiOBr to BiVO4. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations prove that the Ov combines its adjacent hydroxyls to form the DFLP active sites that can additionally capture and activate CO2. Meanwhile, the active sites in BiOBr/BiVO4 reduce the formation-free energy of the COOH* intermediates, which is the key rate-limiting step to convert CO2 to CO with high selectivity. This system has achieved selective conversion of value-added chemicals from organic pollutant degradation and provides a theoretical basis for actual wastewater recycling of carbon sources.

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), a common and outstanding plasticizer, exhibits estrogenic, mutagenic, carcinogenic, and teratogenic properties. It is easily liberated from plastic materials and pollutes aquatic ecosystems, endangering human health. Therefore, highly sensitive and selective DBP detection methods are necessary. In this work, a free-of-electronic sacrificial agent photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor for DBP detection was constructed using a novel Z-scheme Bi-doped BiOI/Bi 2 S 3 (Bi-BIS) p-n heterojunction. The Bi-BIS composites had higher visible-light absorption, charge transfer, and separation efficiency. This is attributed to the synergistic effect of the formation of Z-scheme p-n heterojunction between BiOI and Bi 2 S 3 , the plasma resonance effect of metallic Bi and photosensitization of Bi 2 S 3 , thus exhibiting large and stable photocurrent response in the absence of electron sacrificial agent, that was 10.4 and 6.4 times higher than that of BiOI and Bi 2 S 3 , respectively. Then, a DBP PEC aptasensor was constructed by modifying the DBP aptamer on the surface of the ITO/Bi-BIS electrode. The aptasensor demonstrated a broad linear range (2–500 pM) and a low detection limit (0.184 pM). What's more, because there is no interference from electronic sacrificial agent, the aptasensor exhibited excellent selectivity in real water samples. Therefore, the proposed PEC has considerable potential for DBP monitoring.

Flower-like n -type CeO 2-δ is hybridized with p -type β-Bi 2 O 3 nanoparticles to design a novel β-Bi 2 O 3 /CeO 2-δ p - n heterojunction photocatalyst via a thermal treatment process of Bi/Ce(CO 3 )(OH) precursor. The synthesized β-Bi 2 O 3 /CeO 2-δ exhibits a remarkable enhancement in NO removal and significant suppression of toxic intermediates nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) under visible light irradiation. The superior photocatalytic activity of β-Bi 2 O 3 /CeO 2-δ for NO removal is mainly derived from the synergistic effects of the oxygen vacancies (OVs) and p-n heterojunction. The OVs not only enhance the visible light utilization and boost the separation of electron-hole pairs but also improve the adsorption and activation of NO and O 2 . Particularly, the p-n heterojunction is beneficial for the interfacial migration of photogenerated charge carriers. Electron spin resonance (ESR) and trapping experiment reveal that the synergistic effects of OVs and p-n heterojunction can induce the generation of more active species. The electrochemical measurements and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations in-depth confirm that both p-n heterojunction and OVs can accelerate the interfacial charge transfer, resulting in the deep oxidation of reactants. Therefore, the flower-like β-Bi 2 O 3 /CeO 2-δ p-n heterojunction photocatalyst exhibits an advanced photocatalytic activity for deep NO removal and a suppressed NO 2 generation. In addition, monitoring the reaction products by in situ Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR) further validates that the main products of nitrates are formed during the photocatalytic process. This work demonstrates a straightforward approach for construction of p-n heterojunction photocatalysts, which can enhance the effective photocatalytic activity and stability for NO removal.

In this work, a novel porous bifunctionalized composite material was synthesized via a simple method. Gold nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed on the surface of the biomimetic honeycomb chitosan membrane through the interaction between amino and Au, and then cysteine and glutathione are successfully grafted onto the surface of the Au by the Au-S bond. The modification of cysteine and glutathione makes this bifunctionalized composite material have significant advantages of superhydrophilicity and small steric hindrance simultaneously. This material manifests excellent property in glycopeptides enrichment, with high selectivity (1:5000), low detection limit (0.1 fmol·μL –1 ), high recovery rate (99.4 ± 0.5%), and good repeatability. In addition, with the help of nano-flow liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, this composite achieved excellent performance in efficiently enriching glycopeptides in the serum of healthy people and nasopharyngeal carcinoma's disease patient. More excitingly, further gene ontology analysis of molecular function and biological process indicated that 41 original glycoproteins of the identified glycopeptides from serum of nasopharyngeal carcinoma's disease patient significantly partake in numerous cancer-associated events, including protease binding, calcium ion binding, enzyme binding, extracellular matrix organization, cellular response to tumor necrosis factor, and inflammatory response.

SnO 2 /TiO 2 type II heterojunctions are often introduced to enhance the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers in photoelectrochemical electrodes, while most of these heterojunctions are of core–shell structure, which often limits the synergistic effect from the two components. In this work, dissymmetric SnO 2 /TiO 2 side-by-side bi-component nanofibers (SBNFs) with tunable composition ratios have been prepared by a novel needleless electrospinning technique with two V-shape connected conductive channels (V-channel electrospinning). Results show that this V-channel electrospinning technique is more stable, controllable and tunable for the large-scale preparation of SBNF materials compared to the traditional electrospinning using two side-by-side metal needles. And these SnO 2 /TiO 2 SBNFs are dissymmetric and comprised of a tiny SnO 2 NF (tunable diameter within 20–80 nm) and a Sn-doped TiO 2 NF (diameter of ~ 250 nm) with a side-by-side structure. Moreover, the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based these dissymmetric SnO 2 /TiO 2 SBNFs show the maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.3%, which is 2.59 times that of the ones based on the TiO 2 NFs. Series of analyses indicate that the enhancements in PCE could mainly be due to the improved electron transport via SnO 2 NFs and the enhanced carrier separation via dissymmetric SnO 2 /TiO 2 heterojunction interface. This research will give some new insight in the preparation of SBNFs for high-performance photoelectrochemical devices.

Phosphor with thermally stable and highly efficient photoluminescence (PL) is a premise/challenge for use in high-quality phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs). Herein, via a facile solid-phase sintering method in air, a negative thermal quenching (TQ) blue emitting SrGa 2 B 2 O 7 (SGB): Bi is reported, mainly associating with the underlying collaborative effect of negative volumetric thermal expansion of rigid host, heterovalent substitution (Bi 3+ → Sr 2+ )-induced V Sr /V O vacancies, and generating self-reduction ions (Bi 2+ ). For charge balance under the condition of temperature rising, both opposite process of self-oxidation (Bi 2+ to Bi 3+ ) and charge release from trap levels can compensate blue-PL loss. This phosphor is comparable to Eu 2+ /Ce 3+ -activated blue-emitting phosphors, and even boasts superior quantum efficiency (QE) and thermal stability. Via artificially codoping Na + for charge compensation, the QE of the SGB:Bi/Na can be further significantly enhanced. Color-tunable PL is achieved via cascade-connected energy transfer (ET) from Bi 3+ to Tb 3+ (green)/Eu 3+ (red) in SGB: Bi/Na/Tb/Eu that possesses high QE/stability than the case of blue/green/red tricolor phosphor blends adopted in warm white LEDs (wLEDs). Finally, the SGB: Bi/Na and SGB: Bi/Tb/Eu/Na are respectively, encapsulated with distinct encapsulants via either traditional or remote “capping” packaging strategy to form blue LEDs and wLEDs, showcasing splendid electroluminescence behaviors and luciferous application prospects.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Advanced nanomaterials have emerged as effective approaches to liver cancer therapy such as photothermal therapy. However, limited penetration depth of photothermal agents (PTAs) activated in the NIR-I bio-window and thermoresistance due to heat shock proteins restrict the therapeutic efficacy of PTT in HCC. Herein, we prepared a Bi@ZIF-8 (BZ) nanomaterial by a simple one-step reduction method. Then, gambogic acid, a natural inhibitor of Hsp90, was efficiently loaded onto the BZ nanomaterial via physical mixing. The characterization of the nanomaterial and release of GA due to pH change or NIR-light irradiation were separately studied. Photothermal conversion efficiency was calculated, and therapeutic studies were carried out in vitro and in vivo. This nanomaterial exhibited a significantly enhanced drug release rate when the temperature was increased under acidic conditions and had good light stability under laser irradiation and a photothermal conversion efficiency of about 24.4%. In addition, this novel nanomaterial achieved good therapeutic effects with less toxicity in vitro. The BZ nanomaterial loaded with GA caused tumor shrinkage as well as disappearance and effectively downregulated Hsp90 expression in tumors in vivo. Moreover, this novel nanomaterial exhibited good biocompatibility and potential for application in low-temperature PTT with excellent tumor destruction efficacy.

Conductive composites based on polymers and conductive nanofillers are widely studied as a promising material. The rational design of 3D conductive networks in composites is crucial to improve their electrical conductivity and reduce the dosage of nanofillers. Herein, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and polystyrene (PS) bi-continuous structures with modified carbon nanotubes (CNTs) tailored to anchor at the interface are designed to achieve an ultralow electrical percolation threshold because of the formation of a thin interfacial conductive layer. In this work, the modification of CNTs with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), which contributes to the improvement of the compatibility between PVDF and CNTs, is effective to control the distribution of CNTs in composites. It promotes the migration of CNTs from the PS phase to the interface of PVDF and PS. Consequently, the interfacial conductive layer is formed at a low CNT content, and the electrical percolation threshold of PVDF/PS/CNTs-PMMA nanocomposites is only 0.07 vol%, having a great decrease of about 50% compared with that of PVDF/PS/CNTs nanocomposites. Thus, it is demonstrated that the distribution of CNTs can be tailored to anchor at the interface by proper chemical modification to form an interfacial conductive layer and a decrease of percolation threshold can also be achieved.

Catalytic hydrogenation reduction based on sodium borohydride (NaBH4) has gained attention as an appealing “one-stone-two-birds” approach for the simultaneous elimination of nitroaromatic pollutants and the production of high-value aminoaromatics under mild conditions. However, the slow kinetics of NaBH4 dissociation on the surface of catalysts restrict the catalytic hydrogenation reduction efficiency. Herein, we report an intelligent localized sulfidation strategy for an in situ implantation of Bi2S3 nanorods within quasi-Bi-MOF architectures (Bi2S3@quasi-Bi-MOF) by fine-tuning the pyrolysis temperature. In this novel Bi2S3@quasi-Bi-MOF, the porous quasi-Bi-MOF enables efficient adsorption of BH4– and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), while Bi2S3 facilitates the BH4– dissociation to form Hads* species adsorbed on the catalyst surface. Benefiting from the synergistic structure, Bi2S3@quasi-Bi-MOF exhibits excellent performance for the catalytic reduction of 4-NP, delivering a high turnover frequency (TOF) of 1.67 × 10–4 mmol mg–1 min–1 and an extremely high normalized rate constant (knor) of 435298 s–1 g–1. The kinetic analysis and electrochemical tests indicate that this catalytic hydrogenation reduction follows the Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism. This study enriches the synthetic strategy of MOF-based derivatives and offers a new catalytic platform for hydrogenation reduction reactions.

It is of paramount importance to develop highly efficient and Cl − corrosion-resistant bi-functional catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for application in seawater-based Zn-air batteries (S-ZABs), but the process remains full of challenges. Herein, a facile and effective strategy was adopted to fabricate the N-doped carbon shell armored ‘Janus’ Co/Co 9 S 8 heterojunction catalyst (denoted as Co/Co 9 S 8 -NMC). The well-defined ‘Janus’ structure endows the catalyst with a ‘synergistic effect’ between Co and Co 9 S 8 species, which can also accelerate the electron transfer via ‘Janus’ interfaces, thus boosting ORR/OER performance. Besides, N-doped carbon shells can be considered armor for protecting the catalyst from Cl − corrosion. By virtue of these merits, the resulting Co/Co 9 S 8 -NMC catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic activity for ORR and OER in seawater electrolyte, accompanied by a half-wave potential of 0.83 V and a low overpotential of 298 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA/cm 2 . Besides, the S-ZABs based on the Co/Co 9 S 8 -NMC catalyst deliver a high maximum power density of 162.29 mW/cm 2 and robust stability over 600 h. This work advances the development of highly efficient bi-functional catalysts for S-ZABs.

The use of green biogas as a raw material for producing methanol-friendly syngas (H 2 /CO ≈ 2) for one-step methanol synthesis has gained significant attention. However, developing efficient catalysts with high activity and stability remains challenging, as they often face issues with stability and carbon deposition. This study presents a Ni/CeO 2 /HT catalyst designed for high activity and long-term stability by leveraging the Ce redox cycle and strong interactions between Ni-CeO 2 and hydrotalcite (HT). The catalyst benefits from abundant oxygen vacancies generated by the Ce 3+ - Ce 4+ pathway, enhancing its ability to activate CO 2 and H 2 O and providing excellent coke resistance. Comprehensive analyses of CO 2 /H 2 O adsorption and carbon elimination mechanisms were conducted using techniques such as in situ H 2 -TPR, CO 2 /H 2 O-TPSR, in situ CH 4 -TPSR, CO 2 /H 2 O-TPO, and FTIR. The Ni/CeO 2 /HT catalyst outperformed others in CO 2 /H 2 O adsorption and CH 4 activation capacity, promoting the generation of active oxygen species and effectively removing coke precursors, thereby improving resistance to Ni sintering and carbon deposition. At 750 °C and a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 32,400 mLg Cat −1 h −1 , it achieved CH 4 and CO 2 conversions of 93 % and 66 %, respectively, with long-term stability exceeding 200 h.
