    Hollow glass microspheres(HGM) was utilized as the substrate and sequentially was coated with eggshell-like TiO₂ and needle-like nano-ZnO through a rotational coating process and a two-step heterogeneous precipitation method, constructing a high-reflectance, low-thermal-conductivity core-shell-shell material HGM@TiO2@ZnO. Research demonstrates that the obtained HGM@TiO₂@ZnO exhibits a hollow core structure that reduces heat transfer efficiency. The dual-shell structure, comprising high and low refractive index layers, induces multi-level reflection and scattering of light, while the cavity structures formed between the needle-like nano-ZnO further decrease the thermal conductivity of HGM@TiO₂@ZnO, achieving a dual synergistic effect of "reflection-thermal insulation". Results indicate that the HGM@TiO₂@ZnO material achieves an average solar reflectance up to 88.64% in the visible-near-infrared(380—2500 nm) range, representing improvements of 25.6%, 6.2%, and 10.0% compared to HGM, HGM@TiO₂, and physically blended material HGM&TiO₂&ZnO, respectively. When HGM@TiO₂@ZnO was added to an acrylic resin matrix at volume fraction of 40%, the resulting coating exhibited an average solar reflectance of 72.86% and a thermal conductivity as low as 0.08 W·m-1·K-1. Compared to coatings with the same volume fraction of HGM added to the acrylic resin, the reflectance increased by 5.4%, while the thermal conductivity decreased by 34%. Thus, this study elucidates the synergistic regulation mechanism of the core-shell-shell hierarchical structure on photothermal performance, providing theoretical support and material foundations for the development of high-efficiency thermal-reflective and insulating functional coatings.

    Cuprous iodide cluster-based complexes exhibit significant potential in scintillator materials due to their structural diversity, strong X-ray absorption capacity and tunable excited-state properties. However, crystalline state is typically required to achieve efficient luminescence, and mechanical grinding often induces mechanochromic effects, which severely limit their biomedical applications. In this study, a series of Cu4I4Py4 complex-based scintillators was prepared via a facile solution processing method. The effects of crystal structure, co-crystallized solvent molecule, and polymer matrix on their luminescent performance were systematically investigated. In addition, polystyrene(PS) was employed as an encapsulation matrix to modulate the emission wavelength of the scintillators, enabling spectral overlap with the photosensitizer(methylene blue, MB) for enhanced energy transfer efficiency. The encapsulation simultaneously improved biocompatibility and bioenvironmental stability of the scintillation complex, yielding a type of photosensitizer nanoparticles(Cu4I4Py4-PS-MB) with high X-ray irradiation resistance. The results of NN-dimethyl-4-nitrosoacniline(RNO) bleaching(RNO-imidazole) experiments confirmed that this nanocomposite system exhibits exceptionally high singlet oxygen(1O2) yields under both UV light and X-ray irradiation, demonstrating its potential for constructing efficient and stable X-ray photodynamic therapy(X-PDT) nanoplatform. This work provides a novel solution for deep-tumor photodynamic therapy by overcoming the limitations of traditional scintillator materials.

    Based on the demand for developing novel VMAT2 imaging probes, this study focuses on the synthesis and separation technology of 2-amino-dihydrotetrabenazine(2-NH2-DTBZ) diastereomers and the development of fluorine-18 labeling methods. Starting from tetrabenazine as the raw material, the 2-NH2-DTBZ crude product was synthesized via Borch reductive amination, followed by the effective separation of α- and β-diastereomers using column chromatography. Structural confirmation was achieved through mass spectrometry(ESI-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(1H NMR/13C NMR). Given the potential biological activity advantages of the α-diastereomer, a two-step one-pot strategy was established to achieve the 18F labeling of α-2-NH2-DTBZ. High- performance liquid chromatography analysis confirmed that the radiochemical purity of the labeled product was higher than 99%. Further in vivo experiments demonstrated that the labeled compound can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, providing a crucial foundation for its application in central nervous system imaging. The effective separation system for 2-NH2-DTBZ diastereomers and the 18F labeling methodology established in this study offered a key technical support for the development of novel brain PET probes based on the α-2-NH2-DTBZ scaffold.

    In this study, novel fluorescent carbon dots(CDs) were rapidly synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method using 1,8-naphthalic anhydride(NA) and 1,2-phenylenediamine(OPD) as precursors. By optimizing reaction conditions, yellow fluorescent carbon dots(Y3-CDs) with superior luminescence performance were prepared. The particle sizes and morphology of the Y3-CDs were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM), revealing an average diameter of approximately 2.6 nm and an interlayer spacing of 0.21 nm. This spacing corresponds to the d-spacing of graphene(100) planes and is consistent with the diffraction peak observed at 42.88o in X-ray powder diffraction(XRD) analysis. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) confirmed the presence of sp2 /sp3 hybridized carbons(C=C/C—C, 284.8 eV), carbon-nitrogen bonds(C—N, 286.5 eV), and carbonyl carbons(C=O, 288.4 eV). The optical properties of the Y3-CDs were further investigated using fluorescence spectrometry(FL), ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy(UV-Vis), and lifetime measurements. The fluorescence spectra exhibited non-excitation-dependent emission behavior, indicating a single emission center. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) provided detailed structural insights. Due to their high purity, the characteristic hydrogen(H) and carbon(C) atoms could be clearly resolved and analyzed. 1H NMR results demonstrated that all H atoms were located on the surface of the carbon core, exhibiting ortho-substitution patterns and coupling effects. 13C NMR and DEPT 135 spectra confirmed the presence of ten distinct tertiary carbon atoms. The cell-tracking and imaging performance of Y3-CDs were systematically evaluated. Results demonstrated that Y3-CDs possess excellent cell imaging capabilities and anti-photobleaching properties. Even after 180 minutes of continuous irradiation, Y3-CDs retained strong fluorescence, enabling long-term tracking of HeLa cells. Co-localization experiments further highlighted their selective lipid droplet imaging ability, with a Pearson’s correlation coefficient of 0.846.

    A stable CDs/CC superhydrophilic substrate material with uniform anchoring sites was constructed by growing carbon dots(CDs) containing oxygen functional groups on dielectric barrier discharge(DBD)-modified flexible carbon cloth(CC) using a hydrothermal method. The FeSe/CDs/CC nitrite electrochemical sensor was further constructed by growing flaky FeSe nanomaterials on this substrate by a simple and rapid microwave method, and was characterised by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS). The electrochemical performance results showed that the successful modification of CDs and FeSe significantly improved the charge transfer resistance of CC. Under the optimal detection conditions, the oxidation peak current showed a good linear relationship with the nitrite concentration in the ranges of 0.3—10 µmol/L and 10—1000 µmol/L, with the sensitivities of 5477.80 µA∙(mmol/L)∙cm2 and 1828.84 µA∙(mmol/L)∙cm2, and the detection limit of 0.11 µmol/L, respectively. In addition, the sensor possessed excellent immunity to interferences, long-term stability, repeatability and reproducibility, and the recoveries of nitrite spiked in the fracture flowback fluid were in the range of 97.75%—103.12%.

    In this study, a chiral polyimine macrocycle, BINOL-CPM, was synthesized via a one-step condensation of(S)-2,2′-dihydroxy-[1,1′-binaphthalene]-3,3′-dialdehyde and 1,2-phenylenediamine. After modification, it was bonded to the surface of thiolated silica via thiol-ene click reaction to fabricate a chiral stationary phase(CSP) for high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). The CSP-packed column exhibits good chiral separation performance in both normal-phase(NP) and reversed-phase(RP) elution modes, with 12 racemates resolved in the NP mode and 6 racemates resolved in the RP mode. The chiral separation performance of this column for these resolved racemates was compared with two commonly used commercial columns, Chiralpak AD-H and Chiralcel OD-H. Among the 12 racemates resolved in the NP mode, 4 racemates, [1-(3-fluorophenyl)ethanol, 1-phenylethanol, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone and 1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethanol], could not be resolved on the Chiralpak AD-H column, and 3 racemates, [1-(3-fluorophenyl)ethanol, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone and 1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethanol], could not be resolved on the Chiralcel OD-H column. Among the 6 racemates resolved in the RP mode, one racemate(1-phenylethanol), could not be resolved on the Chiralpak AD-H column. Moreover, the resolution values(Rs) of some racemates on this column were higher than those on the two commercial columns. Therefore, this prepared column demonstrates good complementarity in chiral separation, enabling the separation of some chiral compounds that cannot be resolved or be well resolved by these two commercial columns. In addition, the column also demonstrates excellent reproducibility and stability in chiral separation. After hundreds of injections, the retention time(tR) and Rs of the two enantiomeric peaks for the separation of ethyl mandelate show no significant changes compared to the initial use of the column. The relative standard deviation(RSD, n=5) of tR for the chromatographic peaks of the two enantiomers was less than 0.49%, and the RSD of Rsn=5) was less than 2.88%. Moreover, the column-to-column reproducibility was also good, with the RSD(n=3) of tR and Rs for the two enantiomeric peaks of ethyl mandelate separation on columns prepared from different batches being less than 1.09 % and 5.75 %, respectively. This study indicates that BINOL-CPM is a promising chiral separation material for HPLC and has good research significance and value. It also provides a reference for the development of novel HPLC CSP.

    Multimodal synergistic therapeutic nanomaterials exhibit significant research value for precision tumor therapy. However, the traditional preparation process is complex and the therapeutic efficacy of synergistic therapy remains suboptimal. In this work, an ultrasonically assisted self-assembly strategy is developed to synthesize iron- protoporphyrin IX(PpIX) coordination particle(Fe-PpIX). This approach achieves a three-in-one multimodal tumor therapy through photodynamic/sonodynamic/chemodynamic therapy. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized by the transmission electron microscope(TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), which indicated that Fe was coordinated with PpIX by carboxyl groups. The quantitative evaluation of fluorescence spectroscopy demonstrated the efficient ROS generation of Fe-PpIX under photody namic and sonodynamic conditions. The o-phenylenediamine/methylene blue dual probes further revealed that Fe-PpIX can catalyze the H2O2, which produces hydroxyl radicals by Fenton-like reaction. The MTT assays of L929 and 4T1 cells indicate that Fe-PpIX possesses good biocompatibility. After light/sound synergistic therapy, the survival rate of 4T1 tumor cells decreased significantly, and the survival rate decreased to the lowest(15.0%). This was further confirmed by live/dead cell staining experiments. The developed nanoparticles exhibit a valuable potential for achieving highly efficient therapy, providing a promising strategy for the rational design of multimodal therapeutic nanomaterials.

    A kind of composite catalyst TTFA@Co2+@ZrDP was prepared by coordination among Co2+, ZrDP(a kind of zirconium phosphonate with 1,4,7,10-tetraazaheterocyclic ring in skeleton) as carrier and TTFA(2-thiophene formyl trifluoroacetone) as chelating ligand. The catalytic activity of the composite was studied in the oxidation degradation reaction of safranin T in the presence of peroxymonosulfate as oxidant. The results indicate that the catalytic activity of TTFA@Co2+@ZrDP is closely related to its particle size, the content and dispersion of Co2+ supported, and TTFA is found to promote the transfer of electrons during the catalytic reaction and enhance the catalytic ability of the Co2+. 100% of Safranin T could be degraded by TTFA@Co2+@ZrDP under certain conditions in the presence of peroxymonosulfate and the catalyst has good reusability.

    The self-assembly behavior of sodium dodecyl sulfonate(SDS) in n-propanol(NPP)/water mixed solutions was studied using methods such as dynamic light scattering(DLS), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), small-angle X-ray scattering(SAXS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR). Experimental results demonstrated that the introduction of NPP significantly enhanced the solubility of SDS. In the 50%(mass ratio) NPP/water mixed solvent, the solubility of SDS reached 225.71 g/L, representing a 93-fold increase compared to the pure water system(2.42 g/L). The study reveals that in the isotropic phase of the SDS/NPP/H₂O ternary system, besides the typical micellar structure, vesicle aggregates are also observed. As the NPP content progressively increased, the vesicular structures gradually transformed into micelles. When the NPP content exceeded 50%(mass ratio), the aggregates within the system primarily existed as micelles. FTIR spectral analysis confirmed the formation of hydrogen bonds between SDS and NPP molecules(—S=O…H—O—), the “water bridge” and “cation(Na⁺) bridge”(—SO₃⁻ …Na⁺…—SO₃⁻) between SDS molecules played crucial roles. These interactions effectively mitigated the electrostatic repulsion between the anionic headgroups, which is pivotal for the formation of the SDS/NPP vesicular phase. Furthermore, SAXS and atomic force microscopy(AFM) confirmed the presence of an interdigitated structure of alkyl chains between two leaflets configuration within the vesicle bilayer membranes, with an interdigitated degree of 28.57%. This highly interdigitated structure of alkyl chains between two leaflets is also an intrinsic factor contributing to the formation and stability of the SDS/NPP vesicles. The SDS/NPP vesicles exhibit excellent stability under various conditions, including long-term storage, high-temperature treatment, and freeze-thaw cycles. Furthermore, they exhibit a notable capacity for encapsulating hydrophilic dyes such as calcein. Additionally, the vesicle membrane demonstrates, permeability towards OH- ions, and the transmembrane permeation process conforms to a first-order kinetic model. This study could deepen the understanding of the aggregation behavior of single-chain amphiphiles and provide valuable insights for the practical application of single-chain amphiphilic molecule vesicles.

    CeO2-modified vanadium-doped porous nickel-iron phosphide nanosheet catalyst electrodes(V-NiFeP@ CeO2) were in⁃situ grown on nickel foam substrates through hydrothermal method, phosphating treatment, element doping and electrodeposition. Vanadium doping increased the number of active sites, and phosphorization could adjust the electronic structure. The interface interaction between CeO2 and V-NiFeP was conducive to electron transfer and reactant adsorption, thereby enhancing the catalytic activity. The hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution performance of the prepared bifunctional catalyst in alkaline solution and alkaline seawater solution were studied. The results of full water electrolysis tests showed that the required cell voltage of the catalyst at a current density of 100 mA/cm2 in alkaline solution and alkaline seawater solution was only 1.83 and 1.85 V, respectively, along with stable operation for 27 h at a current density of 10 mA/cm2 without voltage decay. The results indicate that V-NiFeP@CeO2 has excellent electrocatalytic performance and long-term durability.

    Vanadium redox flow batteries(VRFB) are considered to be one of the most promising technologies for large-scale energy storage, and the low energy efficiency of electrode materials at high current densities is one of the main constraints to the development of VRFB. However, modification and modification of the electrode materials can improve their energy efficiency and stability. In this study, neodymium-based metal-organic framework(Nd-MOF) was used as a precursor and transition metal cobalt was introduced for doping. Meanwhile, Co-Nd-MOF was made to bond with graphene oxide(GO) with high electrical conductivity through its oxygen-containing functional groups, and then a Co-Nd-MOF/GO-2 composite with excellent electrochemical performance was prepared by hydrothermal method and applied as an electrode material for modifying the blank carbon felts(CF) in the anode of VRFBs. The electrochemical test results demonstrated that Co-Nd-MOF/GO-2 had excellent electrocatalytic effect on the redox reaction of V2+/V3+, which could improve the voltage efficiency(VE) and energy efficiency(EE) of VRFBs. At 50 mA/cm2, the Co-Nd-MOF/GO-2 composite-modified electrode decreased the overpotential by 259.7 mV and increased the discharge capacity by 263 mA·h compared with CF, and increased the VE and EE by 9.2% and 10%, respectively, compared with CF at 140 mA/cm2. After cycling, the current density was tuned back to 50 mA/cm2, and the VE and EE almost had no attenuation. It was demonstrated that the doping of Co provided additional metal nodes and free holes, the composite of GO reduced the degree of agglomeration of MOF and provided more active sites for V2+/V3+, which facilitated charge transfer and ionic transfer, and the synergistic effect between GO and Co-Nd-MOF further led to the enhancement of the electrical conductivity of composite electrode materials. This study provides a practical approach to advance the further application of VRFB.

    Recent studies have identified Sarmentol H(SMH), a natural product isolated from Sedum sarmentosum Bunge, as a novel Farnesoid X receptor(FXR) agonist with a unique scaffold structure and promising invitro and invivo activities. However, the precise interaction mechanism between SMH and FXR remains unclear. In this study, an integrated computational approach combining molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and binding free energy calculations was employed to elucidate the binding mode between SMH and FXR in detail. By comparing structural dynamics and binding free energetics, the optimal binding mode of SMH with FXR was identified, and the key amino acid residues critical for SMH recognition and binding were pinpointed.

    The extensive use of antibiotics has led to their persistent accumulation in aquatic environments, triggering ecological risks such as antibiotic resistance gene dissemination. Heterogeneous electro-Fenton(HEF) technology shows great potential for water pollution treatment as it circumvents iron sludge generation and features simple operation. However, its practical application remains limited by sluggish Fe2+/Fe3+ cycling kinetics and high costs. This study developed a zero-valent iron-based catalyst(RMM-1∶1) through co-pyrolysis of red mud(RM, an industrial waste) with waste molasses(another industrial byproduct). Characterization revealed that reductive gases from molasses pyrolysis effectively converted iron oxides in RM to Fe0, endowing RMM-1∶1 with high specific surface area and rapid electron transfer capability. The optimized system achieved 93.6% removal of 30 mg/L ciprofloxacin within 60 min(apparent rate constant: 0.1081 L·mg-1·min-1) through enhanced Fe2+ regeneration and multi-path reactive oxygen species(·OH, 1O2·O2- ) synergy. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that Fe0-mediated electron transfer coupled with non-radical pathways(1O2-dominated) synergistically droves pollutant removal. The sustained electron supply from Fe0 was identified as the core mechanism overcoming Fe2+/Fe3+ cycling bottlenecks, while spatiotemporal reactive oxygen species(ROS) synergy ensured degradation efficiency. This work establishes a cost-effective HEF catalytic system that integrates pollutant degradation with solid waste valorization, providing an innovative solution for practical antibiotic pollution control.

    As heat storage media, molten salt thermal storage materials have received considerable attention in the field of high-temperature thermal storage technology. Research and understanding of their thermodynamic properties are fundamental to advancing molten salt thermal storage materials. In this study, a high-temperature drop calorimeter was developed for investigating the thermodynamic properties of molten salt thermal energy storage materials. The accuracy of the drop calorimeter was determined to be ±0.5% by measuring the enthalpy of the standard material of α-Al2O3. By measuring the enthalpy values of high-purity Sn before and after its solid-liquid phase transition, the measurement deviations for phase transition temperature and enthalpy from the differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) measurement results were determined to be ±0.12% and ±1.3%, respectively. The enthalpy values of NaNO3, KNO3, and solar salt(60%NaNO3-40%KNO3) were measured by the drop calorimeter in the temperature range of 350—750 K. Polynomial equations for the enthalpy of both the solid and liquid phases were obtained through data fitting, and the phase transition temperatures and enthalpy values were calculated. The results of this study indicate that the drop calorimetry method can accurately measure the enthalpy, phase transition temperature, phase transition enthalpy, and other thermodynamic properties of molten salt thermal storage materials, providing a reliable calorimetric experimental method for their thermodynamic research.

    Developing high-performance air filtration materials is of great significance in the increasingly harsh air environment. In this study, nanocrystalline metal-organic framework-801(MOF-801) was efficiently and controllably prepared via microwave-assisted synthesis. Subsequently, an electrospinning-electrospray strategy was employed to anchor the MOF-801 nanocrystals onto the surface of poly(lactic acid)(PLA) fibers while designing a unique Janus structure. The high-dielectric MOF-801 nanocrystals significantly enhanced the electret effect of PLA fibers, imparting high dielectric constant(2.5) and initial surface potential(5.6 kV) to the PLA fibrous membrane, along with excellent charge storage and regeneration capabilities. The Janus structure exhibits synergistic effects of multiple filtration mechanisms, enabling hierarchical capture of particulate matters(PMs) with different particle sizes. Even under the highest airflow rate(85 L/min), the J-PLA/MOF fibrous membrane achieved ultra-high PM0.3 filtration efficiency(96.4%) and low air resistance(121.5 Pa). Additionally, under a differential pressure of 100 Pa, compared to the low air permeability(102.2 mm/s) exhibited by Normal PLA, the air permeability rate of the J-PLA/MOF fibrous membrane could reach up to 225.1 mm/s. Due to the anchoring of an appropriate amount of highly surface-active MOF-801 nanocrystals, the mechanical properties of the J-PLA/MOF fibrous membrane were improved, with tensile strength and Young's modulus reaching as high as 4.7 MPa and 100.3 MPa, respectively. The J-PLA/MOF biodegradable fibrous membranes designed in this study held great potential for applications in ultrafine PMs filtration.
