Herein, cobalt-containing keto-enamine covalent organic frameworks (COFs) (Co/TpPa-1) are successfully in situ synthesized by utilizing the interlayer nitrogen atom coordinated with metallic cobalt, which is used to effectively prevent the agglomeration of monometallic atoms to ensure the homogeneous dispersion of SACs in the resulting metalized COFs. In the photocatalytic CO<sub>2</sub> reduction, the Co/TpPa-1 composite exhibits significantly enhanced performance compared to the TpPa-1 COFs. The CO yield of 0.05 mM Co/TpPa-1 composite is approximately 414.5 μmol g<sup>–1</sup> h<sup>–1</sup>, representing a two-order-of-magnitude improvement over the TpPa-1 COF catalyst (approximately 4.15 μmol g<sup>–1</sup> h<sup>–1</sup>). Moreover, the 0.05 mM Co/TpPa-1 composite shows 99.45% selectivity for CO and good stability, maintaining a over 97% CO<sub>2</sub> reduction rate after four cycles. The reason lies in the fact that the interaction between monatomic Co and TpPa-1 COFs enhances visible light absorption and extends the lifetime of the photogenerated carriers by promoting electron transfer through the loaded monatomic Co. This work provides a new idea for the catalyst synthesis with high performance and high selectivity.","PeriodicalId":5,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143866419","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}

Without adequate metabolites, mRNA translation may be less efficient, potentially leading to higher dosing requirements or poorer therapeutic outcomes for LNP therapies. To address this, we develop a metabolite co-delivery strategy by encapsulating essential metabolites within mRNA LNPs, hypothesizing that our approach can uniformly improve mRNA delivery. Instead of adding a fifth component to the organic phase, our strategy involves mixing the metabolite with the mRNA payload in the aqueous phase, while maintaining the molar ratio of the components in the organic phase during LNP formulation. We verify our approach <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i>, highlighting the broad applicability of our strategy through mechanism and efficacy studies across multiple cell lines, and physiological conditions, such as normoxia (i.e., 21% oxygen), hypoxia (i.e., 1% oxygen), and in mice.

This formulation was loaded onto a biocompatible gadolinium-doped zinc–gallium-layered double hydroxide (Zn/Ga@Gd-LDH) nanocarrier. FT-IR, XRD, SEM, and HPLC were used to characterize the synthesized materials. UV–visible spectroscopy was employed to investigate the drug release from SG-Zn/Ga@Gd-LDH at an optimized temperature (45 °C) and pH (5). The kinetic release behavior of SG-Zn/Ga@Gd-LDH nanoparticles suggested that the first-order kinetic model was the most appropriate for the release profile. The regression value (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup>) of 0.96614 indicated an optimal and controlled release for therapeutic effectiveness and minimal adverse effects over 54 h. The <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> models confirmed that drug-loaded nanocarriers exhibited antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. Western blotting analysis suggested that SG-Zn/Ga@Gd-LDH abrogates the anti-inflammatory properties by halting the phosphorylation of pro-inflammatory proteins p-p65 and decreasing CRP levels involved in the NF-κB pathway. SG-Zn/Ga@Gd-LDH exhibited an anti-inflammatory effect by reducing the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. SG-Zn/Ga@Gd-LDH treatment against an acute CCl4-induced liver injury model showed anti-inflammatory potential in histological parameters’ study.

In this work, we delineate structural effects, in-plane hopping defects, and vacancies that enhance p-type behavior of nitrogen/oxygen functionalized reduced graphene oxide (NORG). The NORG-6/30 has been prepared from pyrazole at different time intervals (6–30 h). A combined spectroscopic approach and ab initio calculation imply pyrazole-based 4-pyrrole unit complex macrocyclic unit formation, i.e., in-plane hopping defect and vacancies are maximum for NORG-30. Thus, the structural effect in NORG-30 opens the band gap and work function, shifts the Fermi level position toward the valence band, and increases the hole doping concentrations. The suitable band alignment between different layered NORG-30 and Silicon nanowire substrate shows remarkable NIR-based photodetector devices having maximum responsivity and detectivity as high as 50 mA W <sup>–1</sup> and 2.2 × 10<sup>11</sup> Jones at −2 V.

Conventional treatment methods often fail due to inefficiency and secondary contamination. Therefore, developing advanced membrane separation technologies is crucial. While membrane separation technology holds promise as a solution, its widespread applicability necessitates overcoming significant obstacles related to corrosion resistance, alkali resistance, and the prevention of membrane fouling. This study presents a novel and highly efficient approach for oil–water separation, employing bioinspired, nanoporous metal–organic framework-modified basalt fiber fabrics (BFF). The integration of UiO-66-NH<sub>2</sub>, renowned for its high porosity and tunable functionalities, with a chitosan-dopamine (CS-DA) layer on BFFs creates a multifunctional membrane with enhanced hydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity. This bioinspired design (refers to engineering solutions that mimic natural structures or mechanisms to improve performance and efficiency), drawing inspiration from the structure and function of natural materials, results in superior oil–water separation performance, demonstrating excellent flux and oil rejection rates. The UiO-66-NH<sub>2</sub> effectively captures oil droplets due to its high porosity, while the CS-DA layer facilitates water permeability and promotes surface stability. Furthermore, the composite membrane exhibits exceptional stability and reusability, positioning it as a promising candidate for efficient and sustainable oil–water separation applications.

Among these, polymer-based Distributed Bragg Reflectors (DBRs) have garnered significant interest for use in cost-effective, portable colorimetric sensors for detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, a key challenge in the fabrication of polymer-based DBRs lies in achieving an adequate refractive index contrast between the individual polymer layers. In this work, we fabricate plasmonic DBR sensors by a combination of low-temperature plasma-based techniques with reduced environmental footprint, investigate their potential as VOC sensors, and propose an optical model that links the sensors’ optical properties and microstructure. Plasmonic nanoparticles of silver (Ag) are synthesized by gas aggregation and embedded into thermally evaporated poly(lactic acid) (PLA) layers to create nanocomposites with an enhanced refractive index (∼2.0). A 6-bilayer plasmonic DBR sensor is then produced by alternating depositions of plain PLA and nanocomposite layers as low and high refractive index materials, respectively. The resulting DBR achieves a 77% reflectance at 570 nm. The potential use-case of such a DBR as a VOC sensor is highlighted by its optical response upon exposure to ethanol (a model VOC) vapors as well as other VOCs (water, propanol, acetone, hexane). In an ethanol atmosphere, swelling of the polymer layers occurs, resulting in a red-shift of the reflection peak to 640 nm and a change in the DBR color. We take advantage of a generalized Maxwell-Garnett approach to create an advanced model that accurately reproduces the DBR spectra and captures swelling and degradation by accounting for structural changes and the behavior of isolated and coalesced Ag NPs within individual layers. Despite a decrease in the sensing performance with the number of swelling cycles, these plasmonic DBRs offer a promising solution for low-cost real-time VOC sensing.","PeriodicalId":5,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143866590","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}

However, in practice, their actual capacity drastically decays when the sulfur cathode is loaded to the commercially required levels of 4 mg<sub>sulfur</sub> cm<sup>–2</sup> and above, significantly reducing the energy density. This reduction is due to the excessive formation of polysulfides during sulfur lithiation, which not only deteriorates battery performance through their detrimental shuttling but also results in substantial stress buildup due to their significantly larger volume compared to sulfur. To address these challenges, we have developed an approach to suppress lithium polysulfide shuttling by limiting the space for sulfur expansion while improving the Li<sup>+</sup> ion diffusion. This was achieved through a straightforward but effective method to cross-link the organic binder used in sulfur electrodes. Specifically, PVDF, one of the most common binder materials for battery electrodes, was studied. The chemical, mechanical, and structural properties of the cross-linked PVDF binder were thoroughly investigated, compared with standard PVDF, and correlated to the achieved electrochemical performance of sulfur electrodes. As a result, sulfur cathodes with cross-linked PVDF binder exhibited prolonged cycle life compared to their standard counterparts. Moreover, using this expansion-mitigant binder, cathodes with areal sulfur loading of 4 mg cm<sup>–2</sup> showed exceptional stability for more than 200 cycles and a Coulombic efficiency above 97%. This approach offers a promising avenue to alleviate the major roadblocks of lithium–sulfur battery commercialization while allowing the utilization of the commonly accessible and well-studied binder chemistries.","PeriodicalId":5,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143866428","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}

Reversibly core-cross-linked block copolymer micelles providing a hydrophilic and potentially nonimmunogenic shell and a hydrophobic core suitable for the uptake of hydrophobic drugs are frequently considered because of their high stability against environmental changes and dilution. Ultimately, triggering core-de-cross-linking enables the implementation of strategies for targeted drug release, which requests insights into the impact of varying nanomechanical properties on the stability of individual micelles. Here, atomic force microscopy nanoindentation in aqueous media is applied to intact α-allyl-PEG<sub>80</sub>-<i>b</i>-P(<i>t</i>BGE<sub>52</sub>-<i>co</i>-FGE<sub>12</sub>) micelles to quantify changes in their nanomechanical properties induced by dithiobismaleimidoethane (DTME)-mediated Diels–Alder cross-linking of furfuryl moieties and sequential de-cross-linking by reduction of its disulfide bond by tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine. As a result of crosslinking by DTME, the apparent Young’s modulus of the micelles roughly doubles to 1.18 GPa. Changes to the Young’s modulus can be largely reversed by de-cross-linking. Cross-linked and de-cross-linked micelles maintain their structural integrity even in diluted aqueous media below the critical micelle concentration, in contrast to the micelles prior to crosslinking. Understanding the structure–property relationships associated with the observed augmented mechanical stability in native environments is crucial for improving the efficiency of drug encapsulation and introducing refined temporal and spatially controlled drug-release mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":5,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143866478","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}
