To address these challenges, this work developed an ultra-sensitive magnetically-driven dual-channel fluorescence (MDDCF) biosensor for the simultaneous quantification of breast cancer exosomal biomarkers, exosomal mucin 1 (MUC1) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), enabling precise identification of breast cancer subtypes (luminal A, luminal B, and HER2-positive). The MDDCF biosensor utilized mace-like multilevel composites with magnetic response as the sensing substrate, fabricated through sequential in situ growth of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) and ZnO nanorods (NRs) on the surface of (multi-walled carbon nanotubes) MWCNTs. Dual-channel aptamer logic gates were integrated to specifically target exosomal MUC1 and HER2, thereby generating distinct sensing signals. Signal amplification was achieved using polysiloxane-coated Ag NPs, which leverage plasmon-enhanced fluorescence (PEF) to enhance sensitivity. The MDDCF biosensor demonstrated high resolution in clinical sample validation, correlating output signals with breast cancer molecular subtypes based on logic gate calculations.

The STING (stimulator of interferon genes) pathway emerges as a promising target for enhancing tumor immunotherapy due to its pivotal role in initiating the anti-tumor immune cycle. Here, we present a robust biomimetic nanoplatform engineered from macrophage membranes to potentiate the STING pathway-mediated immune response. This nanoplatform was designed by encapsulating MnO2 and a STING agonist (SR717) within macrophage membranes, which enabled efficient accumulation at the tumor site. The reaction of MnO2 and H2O2 in tumors generates Mn2+ and oxygen, thereby promoting the activation of the STING pathway in conjunction with SR717, while also alleviating the tumor hypoxic microenvironment. Consequently, this strategy potentiates the polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to M1-type, facilitates dendritic cell (DC) maturation, and activates T cells to enhance tumor immunotherapy. Our findings demonstrate that this nanoplatform effectively modulates the tumor microenvironment (TME) and enhances immune activation, effectively inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis.

However, direct administration of 7-D demonstrated limited efficacy in treating AKI. Here, we incorporated 7-D as the anti-ferroptotic agent and prepared it into liposomes (7-D@Lip) for the treatment of AKI. In addition, we added adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into the hydrophilic core of liposomes (7-D@A-Lip) to promote the uptake efficiency by damaged kidney cells. To enhance the distribution and accumulation of 7-D@A-Lip in the injured kidney, we extruded the renal cell membrane into the prepared liposomes (7-D@A-mLip). The results showed that 7-D@A-mLip could be rapidly internalized by hypoxia/reoxygenation-damaged renal cells, effectively inhibiting lipid peroxidation and alleviating ferroptosis-related injury. In addition, post-injection 7-D@A-mLip specifically accumulated in the renal tissues, reduced lipid hydroperoxide production by scavenging reactive oxygen species, and suppressed ferroptosis in the kidney, thereby preserving renal function in the AKI model.

However, developing the means of enhancing the utilization efficiency of bimetallic atoms at catalytic sites and controlling the complex atomic coordination environment to achieve high selectivity and Faradaic efficiency remain a challenge. The present work addresses this issue by synthesizing a bimetallic SnCu-WCx catalyst via the introduction of individual Sn and Cu atoms supported on a tungsten carbide substrate. High Faradaic efficiencies of 98.62 % and 90.19 % at current densities of 100 and 500 mA cm−2 for the reduction of CO2 to formate are respectively achieved through modulation of the coordination environment and electron/proton transfer during catalysis, the creation of shared adsorption sites, and the promotion of synergistic electrocatalysis. The results of operando nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy indicate that activated *OH groups are involved in the formation of formate due to the affinity of individual Sn atoms in the SnCu-WCx catalyst toward *OH. Density functional theory calculations confirm that the presence of individual Sn atoms in SnCu-WCx promotes the dissociation of H2O, and thereby modulates the catalytic microenvironment to accelerate the kinetics for the conversion of activated *CO to *COOH groups. Accordingly, the proposed strategy offers new insights into the design of bimetallic catalysts.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"37 1","pages":"164299"},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144184051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study characterizes Sb-doped Na3Zr2Si2PO12 (Na3.1Zr1.9Sb0.1Si2PO12, NZSbSP) as a prospective solid-state electrolyte and determines its compatibility with sodium-metal electrodes by examining the cycling performance of symmetric Na/NZSbSP/Na cells at 60 °C. Compared with Na3Zr2Si2PO12, NZSbSP exhibits a higher sodium-ion conductivity and sodium-ion transference number while featuring a lower electronic conductivity and activation energy for sodium-ion conduction. The Na/NZSbSP/Na symmetric cell sustains 3055 h of cycling at 0.1 mA cm−2, which reflects the superior compatibility of NZSbSP with sodium metal. The postmortem analyses of NZSbSP after high-temperature operation reveal suppressed dendrite formation and the homogeneity of the sodium-ion flux at the NZSbSP–sodium metal interface. A Na0.67Fe0.5Mn0.5O2/NZSbSP/Na coin cell exhibits a discharge capacity retention of 58.84 % after 50 cycles as well as a high coulombic efficiency and sodium-ion diffusion coefficient. The oxidation of Sb during cycling is shown to prevent electrolyte degradation during high-temperature operation and stabilize the electrode interface.

The material is comprehensively characterized in terms of morphology, magnetic properties, functional groups, and pore structure. Adsorption studies reveal pH-dependent recovery behavior, with optimal performance in the pH range of 3.9–7.2. Analysis of isotherms and thermodynamics confirms the endothermic nature of the recovery process, showing a monotonic increase in the maximum adsorption capacity from 110 mg g−1 to 185 mg g−1 as temperature rises from 283 K to 328 K. Notably, the effect of ionic strength (IS) suggests that NaCl significantly enhances Ce(III) recovery efficiency, while K2SO4 exhibits marked suppression. Competitive adsorption experiments reveal stronger interference from heavy REEs (Ho3+/Tm3+) compared to light REEs (La3+). The fundamental mechanisms are elucidated through multiscale interaction analysis, revealing a synergistic process combining dual-phase transition dynamics and photoinduced redox reactions. The surface architecture of magnetic core evolves from initial ZnO-dominant nanocrystals to ZnO/CeO2 heterostructures, and ultimately stabilizes as a CeO2-enriched framework with increasing Ce(III) concentrations. Moreover, across the time scale, the speciation of surface-adsorbed cerium underwent a gradual transition from Ce(III)-dominance to Ce(IV)-dominance, ultimately forming a regime where Ce(IV) (CeO2) served as the primary species. This progressive transformation enables in situ immobilization and single-step recovery of Ce(III) under mild conditions, establishing a novel paradigm for REEs recovery technology.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"9 1","pages":"164313"},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144184083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The composite of spherical hard carbon with an ultrathin carbon coating (HC@PC-1) possesses a core–shell structure, which is prepared by using polyaniline as the carbon precursor of the outer layer.

Furthermore, an “adsorption-intercalation-pore filling” mechanism was promoted to reveal the sodium storage mechanism during discharging/charging process. Besides, a stable SEI layer with a thickness of 20 nm was formed on the surface of HC@PC-1 after the first discharge at 0.03 A g−1.
