Generally, direct pyrolysis and template approaches are popular in preparation of ORR catalysts. Yet these methods are restricted to a certain extent due to their inherent flaws. Therefore, the elaborate design and controllable synthesis of catalysts still remain challenges. Here, Polydopamine-derived Fe-N-C catalysts are in situ fabricated by self-assembly strategy. Nanorod-like catalysts were obtained by pyrolysis of FeSO₄-Phen/PDA/F127@trimethylbenzene composite micelles. The introduction of SO₄^2- ion plays a critical role in the morphology evolution from nanospheres to nanorods with the assistance of phenanthroline. The presence of trimethylbenzene (TMB) facilitates the dispersion of single atom Fe on the surface of composite micelles. Thus the simultaneous modulation of active sites and carbon architectures on Fe-N-C catalysts were achieved by finely regulating the interfaces of composite micelles. The novel catalyst exhibits good ORR activity and durability over Pt/C catalyst with more positive half-wave potential and higher current density. The good electrocatalytic performances are attributed to the larger surface areas, hierarchical porous structures and highly active FeN₄ sites. Moreover, Zn-air battery fabricated with Fe-N-C catalysts as the air cathode display higher power density of 116 mW cm⁻² and specific capacity of 713 mA h g⁻¹.

Pulmonary drug delivery is a key focus of nanomedicine, enabling the direct administration of chemotherapeutics to the lungs. Herein, we report the formulation and detailed physicochemical characterization of mixed micelles composed of Tetronic® 1304, a pH- and thermo-responsive block copolymer, and Labrasol®, a nonionic surfactant known for its emulsifying and permeation-enhancing properties. The phase behavior was evaluated by cloud point (CP) measurements, micellar size and shape by dynamic light scattering (DLS), small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), and relative viscosity by viscosity measurements. The hydrophobic model anticancer drug quercetin (QCT) was encapsulated into mixed micelles, and its increased solubility was confirmed by UV–visible spectroscopy. The <em>in vitro</em> cytotoxicity against lung epithelial adenocarcinoma cells (A549) was studied via an MTT assay, where IC₅₀ values were calculated to define the efficiency of drug-loaded micelles. Moreover, increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, along with nuclear damage, evidenced that micelles induced both apoptosis and necrosis. These results demonstrated that T1304-Labrasol® mixed micelles are efficient nanocarriers of hydrophobic drugs in pulmonary applications. DFT-based computational analysis revealed that mixing T1304-Labrasol® induces favorable dipole alignment, enhanced thermodynamic stability, and increased electronic softness, collectively promoting stronger intermolecular interactions and improved self-assembly behaviour.

Despite its practical relevance, theoretical studies that simultaneously resolve interfacial stratification and pore/packing evolution during drying of colloid–polymer mixtures remain limited. Here, Brownian dynamics simulations were conducted to elucidate the effects of polymer concentration, chain length, and colloid–polymer interactions on the microstructure of dried colloid–polymer films. Polymer addition markedly altered interfacial stratification and particle packing. In the colloid-only dispersed system, colloidal particles progressively accumulated and packed near the liquid–gas interface; in contrast, in colloid–polymer mixtures, the interfacial region became increasingly enriched with polymer during drying, hindering the formation of a densely packed colloidal layer. An increasing polymer concentration promoted the development of a polymer-enriched layer near the liquid–gas interface, suppressing colloidal accumulation and increasing interfacial porosity. Voronoi analysis was employed to quantitatively characterize the colloidal structures formed within the dried films. Higher polymer concentrations led to greater heterogeneity in interparticle spacing and broader pore-size distributions, whereas variations in polymer chain length exerted only a minor influence on the structural evolution within the tested range. Finally, introducing colloid–polymer attraction through a Lennard–Jones potential significantly reduced polymer migration toward the interface, thereby yielding denser packing and narrower pore-size distributions. These findings suggest that colloid–polymer affinity can be an important factor influencing final film morphology under convection-dominated drying. The present study provides insights into microstructural control in functional colloid–polymer coatings and drying processes, while highlighting the utility of simulation-based prediction for film formation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":278,"journal":{"name":"Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects","volume":"737 ","pages":"Article 139719"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146076499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A combination of systematic experimental characterizations and theoretical simulations was utilized to elucidate the charge transfer pathway, heterostructure evolution, and the underlying mechanism of the heterojunction effect. Based on a non-ideal Type-I heterojunction, the introduction of Fe 3d and Zn 4 s orbitals selectively modulated the valence band of SrTiO₃ and the conduction band of Zn_0.7Cd_0.3S, respectively. This resulted in a sequential transformation of the heterostructure from Type-I (CdS/SrTiO₃) to Type-Ⅱ (CdS/Fe–SrTiO₃) and finally to an S-scheme configuration (Zn_0.7Cd_0.3S/Fe–SrTiO₃). As a result, efficient spatial charge separation was achieved in both CdS/Fe–SrTiO₃ and Zn_0.7Cd_0.3S/Fe–SrTiO₃, with the latter exhibiting superior redox thermodynamic potentials. Although Zn_0.7Cd_0.3S/Fe–SrTiO₃ demonstrated the highest Cr(VI) degradation performance, it showed only the second-best H₂ evolution activity due to its reduced visible-light absorption and higher H* adsorption free energy compared to CdS/Fe–SrTiO₃.
