摘要：
Human immunoglobulin (HIgG) has gained recognition as a crucial biomarker diagnosing and treating various diseases, particularly in identifying elevated serum levels in conditions like measles and pneumococcal disease. Traditional detection methods, however, are often hindered by inefficiencies, high costs, and potential inaccuracies, underscoring the urgent need for more sensitive, efficient, accurate, and self-calibration methods for HIgG. Here, a novel ZnIn2S4/SnO2 composites was synthesized, featuring uniformly dispersed SnO2 nanoparticles on the flower-like ZnIn2S4 structure, resulting in a type II heterojunction that promotes the separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers. Under optimized conditions, this composite demonstrated remarkable photocurrent enhancements 52 and 195 times greater than that of the individual ZnIn2S4 or SnO2, respectively. A novel dual-mode biosensing platform was subsequently developed, employing the ZnIn2S4/SnO2 composites as both as the photoelectrochemical (PEC) signal generator and antibody carrier. This system utilizes multifunctional CuO NPs with ascorbic acid oxidase-like properties, serving as a secondary antibody label. Upon specific binding to HIgG, a notable decrease in the PEC response occurs due to the catalytic activity of CuO NPs and the antigen-antibody interactions. The introduction of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) further enhances detection by facilitating the formation of a fluorescent substance DHAA. This dual-signal approach yielded excellent linear correlations between both PEC and fluorescence signals and HIgG concentration, achieving low detection limits of 22.5 pg/mL or 8.6 pg/mL. These two signals originated from the same PEC electrode with continuous detection in the absence and presence of OPD, simplifying experimental procedures and enhancing the reliability of detection. The non-toxic, chemically stable ZnIn2S4/SnO2 composites ensures reliable and sensitive detection through photocurrent output after incubation with biomolecules. The integration of nanozyme catalysis, biospecific reactions, and in situ fluorescent products generation promise high selectivity across diverse immunosensing applications.

摘要：
We theoretically present a flexible method to obtain dual-channel optical bistability (OB) in a coupled system consisting of a metallic nanoshell (MNS) and a carbon nanotube (CNT) nanomechanical resonator (NR) beyond the dipole approximation. The MNS is made of a metallic core and a dielectric shell. The results show that, the four-wave mixing signal is suppressed significantly due to multipole polarizations in comparison to that in the dipole approximation. Also, the four-wave mixing signal can be enhanced greatly with the exciton-phonon coupling strength g increasing. Especially, bistability phase diagrams plotted show that, for a given shell thickness, it is realizable to achieve one (or two) bistable region(s) by adjusting the pumping intensity (or the MNS-NR distance). In a strong exciton-plasmon coupling regime, OB can be switched from single-channel to dual-channel by only changing the dielectric shell thickness or the metallic core radius. This indicates that the system proposed can behave as a channel-tunable bistable switch. Our findings may have potential applications in various domains such as quantum communication and optical functional devices.

摘要：
The adsorption removal of lead (Pb) ions has become a crucial area of research due to the potential health hazards associated with Pb contamination. Developing cost-effective adsorbents for the removal of Pb(II) ions is significantly important. Hence, a novel fluorescent starch-based hydrogel (FSH) using starch (ST), cellulose nanofibrils (CN), and carbon dots (CD) was fabricated for simultaneous adsorption and detection of Pb(II). A comprehensive characterization of FSH, including its morphological features, chemical composition, and fluorescence characteristics, was conducted. Notably, FSH exhibited a maximum theoretical adsorption capacity of 265.9mg/g, which was 13.0 times higher than that of pure ST. Moreover, FSH was employed as a fluorescent sensor for Pb(II) determination, achieving a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.06μg/L. An analysis was further performed to investigate the adsorption and detection mechanisms of Pb(II) utilizing FSH. This study provides valuable insights into the production of a novel cost-effective ST-based adsorbent for the removal of Pb(II) ions.

摘要：
Asequential dual-locked luminescent copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) probe was designed and synthesizedfor the specific imaging and selective killing of tumor cells. This nanoprobe was prepared by first forming a Fe(3+)-coupled tannic acid (TA)-stabilized CuNCs (CuNCs-Fe(III)), which is in quenching state due to the electron transfer between CuNCs and Fe(3+), and then coating a protectable layer of hyaluronic acid (HA) on the surface of CuNCs-Fe(III) to form the final dual-locked nanoprobe (CuNCs-Fe(III)@HA). When the nanoprobe of CuNCs-Fe(III)@HA target enter the tumor cells through CD44-HA receptor, HAase will first digest the HA layer of the nanoprobes, and then, GSH over-expressed in tumor cells will reduce Fe(3+) to Fe(2+), thus restoring the fluorescence emission of CuNCs and at the same time killing the tumor cells with the hydroxyl free radicals (∙OH) produced by the Fenton reaction between Fe(2+) and H(2)O(2). This sequential dual-locked luminescent nanoprobe of CuNCs-Fe(III)@HA has been successfully used for the specific imaging and selective killing of tumor cells.

摘要：
Lithium aluminum layered double hydroxide chlorides (LADH-Cl) have been widely used for lithium extraction from brine. Elevation of the performances of LADH-Cl sorbents urgently requires knowledge of the composition-structure-property relationship of LADH-Cl in lithium extraction applications, but these are still unclear. Herein, combining the phase equilibrium experiments, advanced solid characterization methods, and theoretical calculations, we constructed a cyclic work diagram of LADH-Cl for lithium capture from aqueous solution, where the reversible (de)hydration and (de)intercalation induced phase evolution of LADH-Cl dominates the apparent lithium "adsorption-desorption" behavior. It is found that the real active ingredient in LADH-Cl type lithium sorbents is a dihydrated LADH-Cl with an Al:Li molar ratio varying from 2 to 3. This reversible process indicates an ultimate reversible lithium (de)intercalation capacity of ∼10 mg of Li per g of LADH-Cl. Excessive lithium deintercalation results in the phase structure collapse of dihydrated LADH-Cl to form gibbsite. When interacting with a concentrated LiCl aqueous solution, gibbsite is easily converted into lithium saturated intercalated LADH-Cl phases. By further hydration with a diluted LiCl aqueous solution, this phase again converts to the active dihydrated LADH-Cl. In the whole cyclic progress, lithium ions thermodynamically favor staying in the Al-OH octahedral cavities, but the (de)intercalation of lithium has kinetic factors deriving from the variation of the Al-OH hydroxyl orientation. The present results provide fundamental knowledge for the rational design and application of LADH-Cl type lithium sorbents.

摘要：
Sb-based materials exhibit considerable potential for sodium-ion storage owing to their high theoretical capacities. However, the bulk properties of Sb-based materials always result in poor cycling and rate performances. To overcome these issues, pyridine-regulated Sb@InSbS3 ultrafine nanoplates loaded on reduced graphene oxides (Sb@InSbS3@rGO) were designed and synthesized. During the synthesis process, pyridine was initially adopted to coordinate with In3+, and uniformly dispersed In2S3 ultrafine nanoplates on reduced graphene oxide were generated after sulfidation. Next, partial In3+ was exchanged with Sb3+, and Sb@InSbS3@rGO was obtained by using the subsequent annealing method. The unique structure of Sb@InSbS3@rGO effectively shortened the transfer path of sodium ions and electrons and provided a high pseudocapacitance. As the anode in sodium-ion batteries, the Sb@InSbS3@rGO electrode demonstrated a significantly higher reversible capacity, better stability (445 mAh<middle dot>g(-1) at 0.1 A<middle dot>g(-1) after 200 cycles and 212 mAh<middle dot>g(-1) at 2 A<middle dot>g(-1) after 1200 cycles), and superior rate (210 mAh<middle dot>g(-1) at 6.4 A<middle dot>g(-1)) than the electrode without pyridine (355 mAh<middle dot>g(-1) at 0.1 A<middle dot>g(-1) after 55 cycles and 109 mAh<middle dot>g(-1) at 2 A<middle dot>g(-1) after 770 cycles). Furthermore, full cells were assembled by using the Sb@InSbS3@rGO as anode and Na3V2(PO4)(3) as cathode, which demonstrated good cycling and rate performances and exhibited promising application prospects. These results indicate that adjusting the microstructure of electrode materials through coordination balance is A<middle dot>good strategy for obtaining high-capacity, high-rate, and long-cycle sodium storage performances.

<jats:p>The three-terminal ballistic junction (TBJ) has promising applications in nanoelectronics. We investigate the transport properties of a <jats:italic>α</jats:italic>−<jats:italic>T</jats:italic>
<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>-based TBJ, where two typical configurations are considered, i.e. the A- and Z-TBJ. It is found that both A- and Z-TBJ exhibit transmission anisotropy, and the transmission of the A-TBJ has stronger anisotropy than that of the Z-TBJ. The amplitude of the rectification coefficient is smaller than that of phosphorene TBJ, but larger than that of graphene TBJ. When the symmetrical input is applied, the output voltage curve exhibits symmetric behavior. While in the case of asymmetric input, the symmetric behavior is broken, and the maximum value of the output voltage can reach a positive value. Interestingly, the voltage output shows a dramatic nonlinear response which may be useful for the voltage diode application with a push-pull input voltage. In addition, the heat fluxes of the asymmetric input are much smaller than those of the symmetric input. The maximum value of the heat flux under the symmetric input exceeds twice of that under the asymmetric input. Our results are useful to design nanoelectronic devices based on <jats:italic>α</jats:italic>−<jats:italic>T</jats:italic>

摘要：
Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) has been widely employed for the elimination of heavy metals from wastewater. However, the practical application of nZVI is greatly limited due to its fast aggregation and surface passivation. In this study, a carbon nanotube-supported nZVI composite (nZVI@CNTs) was synthesized and coupled with Shewanella oneidensis MR -1 to enhance the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous media. The results demonstrated that the coupling of nZVI@CNTs and MR -1 (nZVI@CNTs/MR-1) exhibited superior performance in eliminating Cr(VI) compared to using nZVI@CNTs or MR -1 alone. Electrochemical characterization demonstrated that CNTs acting as electron shuttles improve the electron transfer from MR -1 to nZVI, thus facilitating the passivation layer dissolution. XRD analysis proved that MR -1 can effectively promote the dissolution of the Fe(III) passivation layer with the existence of CNTs. FTIR and XPS analyses confirmed that CNTs contain many functional groups (such as C - C and C = O) related to extracellular electron transfer, thus promoting the electron transfer of MR -1 to nZVI. Three-dimensional excitation -emission matrix (3D-EEM) analysis showed that the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) generated from MR -1 participated in the Cr(VI) elimination. The mechanism analysis demonstrated the Fe(II) dissolved from the nZVI passivation layer reduces Cr(VI) to Cr(III) and then removes it by co -precipitation, and the EPS secreted by MR -1 also participates in the Cr(VI) adsorption and reduction. Generally, the coupling of nZVI@CNTs and MR -1 successfully addresses the drawbacks of nZVI and demonstrates a remarkable ability to remove Cr(VI).
摘要：
The ultrasensitive detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) nucleic acid is crucial for the early diagnosis of hepatitis C. In this study, by combining Ag@Au core/shell nanoparticle (Ag@AuNP)-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tag with hybridization chain reaction (HCR), a novel SERS-sensing method was developed for the ultrasensitive detection of HCV nucleic acid. This SERS-sensing system comprised two different SERS tags, which were constructed by modifying Ag@AuNP with a Raman reporter molecule of 4-ethynylbezaldehyde, two different hairpin-structured HCR sequences (H1 or H2), and a detection plate prepared by immobilizinga capture DNA sequence onto the Ag@AuNP layer surface of the detection wells. When thetarget nucleic acid was present, the two SERS tags were captured on the surface of the Ag@AuNP-coated detection well to generate many "hot spots" through HCR, forming a strong SERS signal and realizing the ultrasensitive detection of thetarget HCV nucleic acid. The limit of detection of the SERS-sensing method for HCV nucleic acid was 0.47 fM, and the linear range was from 1 to 10(5) fM.
摘要：
The utilization of bamboo as a substitute for wood or plastic signifies an imperative pathway towards achieving global sustainable development. The conduct of comprehensive and systematic research on the variations in the fundamental chemical compositions can offer scientific and theoretical guidance for the efficient and rational high-value utilization of bamboo. In this study, the variations of the content of primary chemical components in Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) were systematically investigated by considering height and radial locations. This was achieved through using comprehensive chemical analysis and infrared spectroscopy methods, with an additional investigation into the impact of nodes on these variations. The results indicated that the fundamental chemical components of Moso bamboo consisted of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. The cellulose content ranged from 36% to 40%, the hemicelluloses content ranged from 25% to 28%, and the lignin content ranged from 26% to 34%. The cellulose content decreased with increasing culm height, while it demonstrated a gradual increase during the transition from the inner to the outer layer of the wall. The cellulose content of the internodes was higher than that of the nodes. The variation in cellulose content was more pronounced in the radial direction compared to that in vertical direction. However, the hemicelluloses and lignin content in the bamboo culm showed no statistical differences. The abundant resource advantage of bamboo in China can provide a valuable resource benefit for the classification and utilization of its three fundamental chemical components. The findings derived can provide a reliable basis for establishing a scientific theoretical foundation to optimize the value-added utilization of bamboo.
