In line with this objective, we present green preparation of a colloidal pesticide formulation using optimized lysine-derived carbon dots (LysCDs)-modified CaCO<sub>3</sub> (LysCDs/CaCO<sub>3</sub>) particles as the carrier and abamectin (Abm) as the active ingredient. The loading capacity of abamectin in this colloidal pesticide (LysCDs/CaCO<sub>3</sub>/Abm) is 1.7 to 2.1 times higher than that of its counterpart (CaCO<sub>3</sub>/Abm) prepared without LysCDs, which is attributed to the increased specific surface area and pore volume of LysCDs/CaCO<sub>3</sub> particles. Due to the acid-induced degradation of CaCO<sub>3</sub>, the release of abamectin for LysCDs/CaCO<sub>3</sub>/Abm is accelerated under weakly acidic conditions, which is accompanied by the release of Ca<sup>2+</sup> ions and the fluorescence changes of LysCDs. The incorporation of LysCDs enhances the photostability and foliar adhesiveness of this colloidal pesticide, resulting in the highest degree of foliar retention when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light or rainfall, compared to free-form abamectin and CaCO<sub>3</sub>/Abm. This results in the best performance of pest control on <i>Plutella xylostella</i> for LysCDs/CaCO<sub>3</sub>/Abm in both indoor and outdoor tests. Nontarget biocompatibility evaluations show that LysCDs/CaCO<sub>3</sub>/Abm exhibits lower acute toxicity to zebrafish and earthworms than free-form abamectin. In addition, this colloidal pesticide is favored by the minimal residue of the adjuvant material after abamectin release, which is converted into harmless Ca<sup>2+</sup> ions, CO<sub>2</sub>, and LysCDs. Therefore, this work designs a safer and more effective colloidal pesticide formulation to deliver abamectin with minimal adjuvant residue, realizing its trajectory as basically “circular and green”.","PeriodicalId":21,"journal":{"name":"ACS Nano","volume":"18 797 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hydrostatic extrusion (HE) was employed to refine the microstructure of cp-Ti, producing ultrafine-grained (UFG) titanium, which was compared with coarse-grained (CG) cp-Ti. Both substrates were subjected to the MAO process, and the fabricated MAO coatings were analysed through X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron microscopy techniques (SEM and TEM), energy dispersive spectrometry, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and tribological testing (hardness, scratch and wear tests). The results show that HE-treated cp-Ti substrates promoted faster and thicker MAO coating formation, with superior adhesion and tribological properties compared to CG cp-Ti. The UFG substrate led to increased hardness and wear resistance, largely due to the higher density of grain boundaries and electrical resistance of the substrate, which accelerated oxide layer growth. It has been demonstrated that plastic deformation of the substrate via HE significantly enhances the performance of MAO coatings, providing improved surface protection for biomedical applications.","PeriodicalId":344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Alloys and Compounds","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study also analyzed the differences in oxidation resistance among the test steels using oxidation thermodynamics and kinetics, as well as investigated how the morphology and structure of the oxide film impact high-temperature oxidation resistance. The results indicated that the introduction of the N element facilitated the formation of a protective oxide layer within the test steel, which impeded further reactions between the internal metal elements and external oxygen. The uniformly formed SiO<sub>2</sub> oxide layer significantly enhances the adhesion of the oxide film to the substrate, effectively preventing the shedding of oxides. Additionally, N promotes the development of chromium (Cr)-rich bands, which play a crucial role in inhibiting the growth of surface oxides and reducing the overall thickness of the oxide film. Moreover, the presence of N leads to improved densification of the surface oxide layer. This dense structure is instrumental in restricting ion diffusion, thereby decreasing the weight gain rate associated with high-temperature oxidation in the tested steel. Specifically, when the nitrogen content reached 0.32%, the oxidized weight gain and weight gain rate were reduced by 76.6% and 76.9%, respectively, compared to the steel without N addition. In conclusion, the substitution of nitrogen for nickel provides a highly effective means of enhancing the high-temperature oxidation resistance of austenitic heat-resistant steel. This research offers valuable insights for the future design of Ni-saving austenitic heat-resistant steel materials.","PeriodicalId":344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Alloys and Compounds","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Developing innovative antibacterial materials and therapies, particularly those that mitigate resistance, is essential for effectively addressing biofilm-associated infections. Chemical dynamic therapy (CDT), which relies on hydroxyl radicals (·OH) generated from hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) to eliminate bacteria, has demonstrated potential in treating planktonic infections. However, traditional CDT is less effective against biofilm-related infections due to limited endogenous H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and the protective extracellular polymeric matrix within biofilms. In this study, a composite nanoplatform based on CuO<sub>2</sub> with self-supplying H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> capabilities and Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> with photothermal properties was designed to improve CDT efficacy for biofilm eradication. The Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/CuO<sub>2</sub> composite nanoparticles (FC NPs) were synthesized by incorporating CuO<sub>2</sub> into hollow mesoporous Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> using an in-situ growth technique.

The Cu<sup>2+</sup> subsequently catalyzes the Fenton-like conversion of the released H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> into ·OH. Concurrently, near-infrared (NIR) irradiation of Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> generates significant heat, boosting ·OH production and increasing bacterial membrane permeability, thereby enhancing bacterial vulnerability to ·OH.
