In this study, we have synthesized two highly fluorescent organic emitters, 4BPy-PTA and 2BPy-PTA, and showed how moisture sensitivity can be enhanced by molecular design modification. Owing to the different nitrogen atom positions in the acceptor units, the emitters show different degrees of moisture sensitivity. Upon moisture exposure, both emitters change their emission color from greenish-yellow to blue, but a larger shift was witnessed in 4BPy-PTA (81 nm) than in 2BPy-PTA (68 nm). Moisture exposure enhances the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 4BPy-PTA from 37 to 48%, whereas it suppresses the PLQY of 2BPy-PTA from 59 to 15%. A shorter moisture sensing time, large emission color shift, and enhanced PLQY make 4BPy-PTA a better moisture-sensitive material than 2BPy-PTA. Interestingly, the emission colors of the emitters can be completely regained by heating and partially by applying mechanical force to the moisture-exposed solids. In addition, these emitters also show mechanochromic luminescence behavior with a completely reversible emission color switch between blue and green.","PeriodicalId":29798,"journal":{"name":"ACS Materials Au","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142210835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The compounds exhibit three different types of photoluminescence, which is well-explained by quantum chemical calculations. Benzodioxinoquinoxaline shows blue fluorescence, with a very short lifetime of 0.64 ns. Its derivatives exhibit either green solid-state-enhanced thermally activated delayed fluorescence (SSE-TADF) or room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) with lifetimes approaching 7 ms.

Herein, zinc telluride (ZnTe) is demonstrated as an efficient electrocatalyst for reducing nitrogen (N<sub>2</sub>) under ambient conditions to NH<sub>3</sub>. In this simple chemical strategy, Zn preferentially binds N<sub>2</sub> over hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>), and Te, by virtue of its superior electronic properties, enhances the electrocatalytic activity of ZnTe. The analysis of the X-ray diffraction data using the Bravais-Friedel-Donnay-Harker (BFDH) theory predicted a crystal geometry with the active electrocatalytic sites predominantly confined to the (111) planes of ZnTe. The preferential binding of nitrogen (N<sub>2</sub>; adsorption energy = −0.043 eV) over hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>, adsorption energy = −0.028 eV) to Zn on the (111) plane of ZnTe is further confirmed by density functional theory. The ZnTe catalyst is observed to be stable in the acidic medium and delivers a very high yield of NH<sub>3</sub> (19.85 μg/h<sup>–1</sup> mg<sub>cat</sub><sup>–1</sup>) and a Faradaic efficiency of 6.24% at −0.6 V (versus RHE). Additional verification experiments do not reveal the formation of side products (such as NH<sub>2</sub>–NH<sub>2</sub>) during N<sub>2</sub> reduction by ZnTe. Further, density functional theory calculations strongly predict that the electrocatalytic reduction of N<sub>2</sub> to NH<sub>3</sub> by ZnTe preferentially occurs via the alternate pathway.","PeriodicalId":29798,"journal":{"name":"ACS Materials Au","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141933577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research focuses on developing a textile-based sweat glucose sensor using commercially available conductive textiles, evading the complexity of traditional fabrication methods. A comparative analysis of three low-cost conductive textiles, Adafruit 1364, 1167, and 4762, has been conducted for electrochemical glucose detection with glucose-specific enzymes such as glucose oxidase (GOx) and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH). Adafruit 1364 outperformed others in morphological, electrochemical, and wearable properties. Cyclic voltammetry shows that Adafruit 1364 and 4762 effectively detect glucose at the potential of 0.23 and 0.08 V using glucose oxidase and 0.1 and 0.08 V using glucose dehydrogenase enzymes, respectively. Furthermore, chronoamperometry has been conducted to confirm the presence of glucose at 1 μM concentration. Differential pulse voltammetry was conducted to assess the sensitivity of the Adafruit 1364 fabric electrode using glucose solutions with concentrations of 0.05, 0.15, 0.25, and 0.5 mM. The electrode immobilized with GOx showed a sensitivity of 0.005 μA μM<sup>−1</sup> and a limit of detection (LOD) of 41.3 μM, while the electrode immobilized with GDH exhibited a sensitivity of 0.0019 μA μM<sup>−1</sup> and an LOD of 63.1 μM.

Monocalcium phosphate monohydrate (MCPM) and hydroxyapatite (HA) particles were added to enhance biological performance, particularly osteo-immunomodulation. Free radical polymerization was triggered by mixing two pastes containing either benzoyl peroxide (BPO, an initiator) or N-tolyglycine glycidyl methacrylate (NTGGMA, an activator). Increasing butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT, an inhibitor) enabled a suitable delay after mixing at 25 °C for placement. At 37 °C, the delay time was reduced and the final conversion was enhanced. Findings also demonstrated the biocompatibility of the developed bone cement toward osteo-immunological cell lineages, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), fibroblasts, osteoclast precursor RAW 246.7 cells, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Notably, the cement with both MCPM and HA combined facilitated sufficient MSC growth, enabling subsequent mineralization while concurrently suppressing the proliferation of fibroblasts, osteoclast progenitors, and PBMCs. Furthermore, composite cement exhibited the capacity to differentially regulate osteoblast differentiation, cell-(in)dependent mineralization, osteoclastogenesis, and PBMC-mediated inflammatory responses at both cellular and molecular levels in vitro.
