AbstractAn optoelectronic synaptic device with the color‐recognition ability is highly desired for achieving the high‐efficient neuromorphic color visual system. In order to realistically implement the functionality of retina (i.e., bipolar cells and cones photoreceptors), the exploration of multiwavelength controlled optoelectronic synaptic devices with fully light tunable ability would be sorely needed. Here, a multiwavelength controlled plasmonic optoelectronic memristor based on the size‐dependent localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of metallic nanostructures is developed. The distinguishable red (R), green (G), and blue (B) light response behaviors can be achieved in this single device, which enables the realization of color image perception and memory functions. The RGB light‐strengthened synaptic plasticity can be depressed by ultraviolet light stimulations, relying on the effects of LSPR and optical excitation in WOx:Ag nanocomposites. Moreover, the visual attention for color (color discrimination) is realized in this memristor, which promotes the improvement of recognition accuracy during the color image recognition process. A new approach in developing multiwavelength controlled synaptic devices is provided here for highly efficient neuromorphic vision.

AbstractTumor calcification is considered to have the superiority of integrating tumor diagnosis and treatment, and it also has been found to be a predictor of favorable prognosis. However, selecting suitable nanocarriers and therapeutic drugs to maximize the tumor calcification efficiency are key factors for improving calcification‐medicated theranostics. This study performs a multi‐channel calcification nanoinitiator (CalNI, i.e., BP‐Cur‐Ca@PKLAK) by loading curcumin (Cur) and depositing Ca2+ on black phosphorus (BP) and combined carrying mitochondria‐targeting cytotoxic peptide KLAK to boost a triple‐induced tumor calcification. CalNI preferentially accumulates inside tumor mitochondria and induces multilevel calcification promotion by the three combined effects of (i) the degradation of BP into PO43− provides the phosphorus source required for calcification; (ii) burst of calcium ions can directly induce cellular calcium overload; (iii) Cur can inhibit calcium efflux thus further aggravate intracellular calcium stress. Moreover, KLAK exhibited enhanced mitochondrial synergistic toxic effects. Notably, the potential function of CalNI on the regulation of macrophage polarization could completely reverse the immunosuppressive microenvironment, and activate the initiation of T cell‐mediated immune response. Therefore, this three‐pronged CalNI showed a huge promise to be an alternative to conventional oncology therapy, which presents a more satisfactory therapeutic efficiency than any kind of single induction mode.

AbstractLead‐based perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) as one of the most promising materials in the fields of display and lighting, have outstanding optical performance and simple solution preparation process. However, the toxicity of lead and poor stability limit their commercialization. Meanwhile, as a key component of display and lighting, white light‐emitting diodes (WLEDs) still faces challenges such as low luminance and complex preparation process. A method is proposed for preparing nontoxic and stable Cs3Cu2I5 NCs by doping Mg2+ ions, achieved broadband blue light emission with a high PLQY of 96.2% and excellent thermal cycling stability and air stability. Then, the Mg2+ ions doped Cs3Cu2I5 NCs are used as emissive layer, while the 1,3,5‐Tri (m‐pyridine‐3‐ylphenyl) benzene (TmPyPb) is selected as electron transport layer to interact with Cs3Cu2I5 thin films for the formation of Cu‐I complex with broadband yellow light emission. This approach obviated the need for multi‐layer sedimentary emission layers, resulting in WLEDs featuring a high color rendering index (CRI) of 91, a peak external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 0.71% and maximum luminance of 2116 cd m−2 that is the highest values of lead‐free perovskite WLEDs at present. Therefore, Cs3Cu2I5 NCs have good application prospects in WLEDs.

AbstractDue to the feature of the strong intermolecular interactions causing aggregation‐caused excitons quenching (ACQ) of solution process, realizing high‐performance solution‐processed organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters remains a formidable challenge nowadays. To address this issue, herein, a novel strategy is proposed to construct solution‐processable ternary exciplex emitters by utilizing the dendritic oligomer as the substrate, simultaneously realizing excellent solution‐process adaptability, good dispersibility to restrain harmful ACQ, and improved exciton utilization with multiple reverse intersystem crossing channels. Accordingly, dendritic oligomer‐based exciplex systems are constructed by combining small‐molecule donor and acceptor components with the multi‐carbazole‐substituted tetraphenylsilane‐core analog as substrate. And their film morphologies, photoluminescence quantum yields (ΦPLs), and non‐radiative decay rates of triplet excitons (knrTs) are significantly improved. Among them, DMAC‐DPS:PO‐T2T:SimCP3 exhibits the highest ΦPL of 97.5% and the lowest knrT of 1.0 × 103 s−1, and realizes the best maximum external quantum efficiency of 29.7% in solution‐processed OLED, which is comparable with the highest electroluminescence efficiencies of all solution‐processable emitters. Therefore, this work will provide a prospective pathway to develop efficient solution‐processable exciplex emitters and promote the progress of solution‐processed OLEDs.

AbstractIn wound healing and clinical anti‐infection therapy, the current feasibility of nanocatalysts is extremely limited because of inadequate reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Herein, a novel H2O2 self‐supplying nanocomposite (M/C/AEK) consists of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) decorated with calcium peroxide (CaO2) prepared at ambient temperature and encapsulated in AEK hydrogel. In the presence of H2O2 and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), CaO2 nanoclusters, ≈30 nm, are anchored on the MoS2 surface. MoS2/CaO2 can induce both a cascaded peroxidase (POD)‐like and catalase (CAT)‐like catalytic activity to produce toxic hydroxyl radicals through self‐supplied H2O2 and O2 responsive to the faintly acidic environment of acute wounds. The POD‐like activity is increased under acidic compared with neutral conditions, allowing selective treatment of acute, slightly acidic wounds while avoiding the side effects of high‐concentration antibacterial agents on normal tissues. The high near‐infrared photothermal effect synergistically with POD‐like/CAT‐like activity of MoS2/CaO2 boosts the production of more ROS to eradicate Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria (98.6% and 98.9%) effectively and selectively stimulate wound healing. The porous M/C/AEK hydrogel in the wound microenvironment can efficiently capture bacteria, and its Ca2+ ions and keratin stimulate healing, revealing excellent potential in advanced wound care and infection control therapies.

Published: October 2024

AbstractScintillators have attracted significant attention due to their wide‐ranging applications in both industrial and medical fields. However, one of the ongoing challenges is the efficient utilization of triplet excitons to achieve high radioluminescence efficiency. Here, a series of purely organic phosphors is presented for X‐ray scintillation, employing a combined rigid and flexible host‐guest doping strategy. The doped crystals exhibit a remarkable maximum phosphorescence efficiency of 99.4% under UV excitation. Furthermore, upon X‐ray irradiation, the radioluminescence intensities of the doped phosphors are markedly higher compared to their single‐component crystal counterparts. Through systematic investigations, it is demonstrated the crucial role of confining isolated chromophores in enhancing scintillation efficiency. Additionally, a transparent scintillator screen fabricated with the doped phosphor exhibits excellent X‐ray imaging performance, achieving a high spatial resolution of 18.0 lp mm−1. This work not only offers valuable insights into suppressing non‐radiative transitions of triplet excitons during scintillation but also opens a new avenue for designing highly efficient purely organic phosphorescent scintillators.

AbstractPhotochromic materials with properties that can be dynamically tailored as a function of external stimuli are a rapidly expanding field driven by applications in areas ranging from molecular computing, nanotechnology, or photopharmacology to programable heterogeneous catalysis. Challenges arise, however, when translating the rapid, solution‐like response of stimuli‐responsive moieties to solid‐state materials due to the intermolecular interactions imposed through close molecular packing in bulk solids. As a result, the integration of photochromic compounds into synthetically programable porous matrices, such as metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs), has come to the forefront as an emerging strategy for photochromic material development. This review highlights how the core principles of reticular chemistry (on the example of MOFs) play a critical role in the photochromic material performance, surpassing the limitations previously observed in solution or solid state. The symbiotic relationship between photoresponsive compounds and porous frameworks with a focus on how reticular synthesis creates avenues toward tailorable photoisomerization kinetics, directional energy and charge transfer, switchable gas sorption, and synergistic chromophore communication is discussed. This review not only focuses on the recent cutting‐edge advancements in photochromic material development, but also highlights novel, vital‐to‐pursue pathways for multifaceted functional materials in the realms of energy, technology, and biomedicine.

AbstractAlong with the booming research on zinc metal batteries (ZMBs) in recent years, operational issues originated from inferior interfacial reversibility have become inevitable. Presently, single‐component electrolytes represented by aqueous solution, “water‐in‐salt,” solid, eutectic, ionic liquids, hydrogel, or organic solvent system are hard to undertake independently the task of guiding the practical application of ZMBs due to their specific limitations. The hybrid electrolytes modulate microscopic interaction mode between Zn2+ and other ions/molecules, integrating vantage of respective electrolyte systems. They even demonstrate original Zn2+ mobility pattern or interfacial chemistries mechanism distinct from single‐component electrolytes, providing considerable opportunities for solving electromigration and interfacial problems in ZMBs. Therefore, it is urgent to comprehensively summarize the zinc chemistries principles, characteristics, and applications of various hybrid electrolytes employed in ZMBs. This review begins with elucidating the chemical bonding mode of Zn2+ and interfacial physicochemical theory, and then systematically elaborates the microscopic solvent structure, Zn2+ migration forms, physicochemical properties, and the zinc chemistries mechanisms at the anode/cathode interfaces in each type of hybrid electrolytes. Among of which, the scotoma and amelioration strategies for the current hybrid electrolytes are actively exposited, expecting to provide referenceable insights for further progress of future high‐quality ZMBs.

Published: October 2024

AbstractConcern over the harmful impacts of pollutants on human health and the environment has increased in recent decades due to their widespread presence in water resources. These pollutants include pesticides, poisonous textile dyes, and micropollutants. It is essential to remove these pollutants from wastewater to enhance the quality of water for industrial usage. Because of externally hydrophilic and internally hydrophobic qualities, cyclodextrin and its derivatives have shown great promise as adsorbents for the treatment of wastewater. While cyclodextrins cannot be used as adsorbents on their own due to their water solubility, they can be efficiently polymerized with different types of cross‐linkers to increase their stability and effectiveness. This review article examines chemically crosslinked materials based on cyclodextrin and its derivatives, utilizing various cross‐linkers such as epichlorohydrin, glutaraldehyde, citric acid, N,N′‐methylene bisacrylamide and maleic anhydride. These materials are evaluated for their effectiveness in adsorbing textile dyes, micropollutants, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides from wastewater. Additionally, this article provides a detailed explanation of adsorption kinetics, thermodynamics, and kinetic isotherms for the removal of contaminants. It also discusses the mechanism of contaminant adsorption, and reusability of adsorbents. Finally, this study delves into the challenges and exciting future prospects of CD‐based adsorbents, highlighting their potential to revolutionize wastewater treatment.

AbstractViruses are abundant and ubiquitous in soil, but their importance in modulating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in terrestrial ecosystems remains largely unknown. Here, various loads of viral communities are introduced into paddy soils with different fertilization histories via a reciprocal transplant approach to study the role of viruses in regulating greenhouse gas emissions and prokaryotic communities. The results showed that the addition of viruses has a strong impact on methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and, to a minor extent, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, along with dissolved carbon and nitrogen pools, depending on soil fertilization history. The addition of a high viral load resulted in a decrease in microbial biomass carbon (MBC) by 31.4%, with changes in the relative abundance of 16.6% of dominant amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) in comparison to control treatments. More specifically, large effects of viral pressure are observed on some specific microbial communities with decreased relative abundance of prokaryotes that dissimilate sulfur compounds and increased relative abundance of Nanoarchaea. Structural equation modeling further highlighted the differential direct and indirect effects of viruses on CO2, N2O, and CH4 emissions. These findings underpin the understanding of the complex microbe‐virus interactions and advance current knowledge on soil virus ecology.

AbstractUtilizing metal nanoprobes with unique K‐edge identities to visualize complementary biological activities simultaneously can provide valuable information about complex biological processes. This study describes the design and preparation of an innovative pair of K‐edge metal nanoprobes and demonstrates the feasibility of their simultaneous quantitative detection using spectral photon‐counting computed tomography (SPCCT). Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) capped nanoparticles (ca. 15–20 nm) targeting two distinct components of the cartilage tissue, namely, aggrecan (acan) and aggrecanase (acanase) are designed and synthesized. These targeted nanoparticles comprised of praseodymium (Pr) and hafnium (Hf), with well‐separated K‐edge energies, enable simultaneous and ratiometric imaging of dual biomarkers in cartilage tissue. Following extensive physico‐chemical characterization of the ligand‐targeted particles, the feasibility of homing dual biomarkers in vitro is demonstrated. The material discrimination and simultaneous quantification of these targeted particles are also achieved and corroborated with inductively coupled plasmon spectroscopy. For the first time, the use of praseodymium is reported as a contrast agent for SPCCT imaging and demonstrates the ability to pair it with hafnium nanoprobes for multicontrast imaging of diseases. Importantly, the potential for ratiometric molecular imaging and tracking of osteoarthritis (OA) progression is shown with SPCCT K‐edge based imaging approach.

AbstractThe practical applications of zinc metal anode are restricted by detrimental dendrite growth and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), especially at high current densities. Previous works have demonstrated that constructing Zn(002) texture could effectively suppress dendrite growth and HER. However, the surface grain distribution of commercial zinc metal remains indistinct. Herein, a simple mechanical grinding approach is demonstrated to construct (002)‐textured zinc metal anodes. After grinding, the (002) relative texture coefficient of commercial zinc metal increases from 10.58 to 42.28, indicating a significant more (002) planes exposure. As prepared (002)‐textured zinc anode exhibits a high critical current density of 141 mA cm−2 and stably cycles for over 1500 cycles at 50 mA cm−2 and 1 mAh cm−2. Benefiting from the stability and fast kinetics of this (002)‐textured zinc anode, the zinc‐ion capacitor achieves a power density of 8500 W kg−1 and long cycle over 10 000 cycles with Coulombic efficiency (CE) exceeding 99.9%. This work provides both fundamental and practical insights for dendrite‐free and HER‐suppressed zinc metal anodes and inspiring guidance for other metal batteries.

ABSTRACTThe heightened mortality and disability rates, coupled with restricted neurological recovery post intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), have sparked considerable attention toward its treatment and results. Simultaneously, the influence of the APOE gene on ICH prognosis has been well‐documented. This research aimed to explore the relationship between specific APOE alleles in the present cohort and the incidences of mortality, recurrence, and adverse prognosis, as determined by neurological function assessments in ICH patients. Data on patients diagnosed with ICH and hospitalized in the Department of Neurology at our institution from October 2021 to March 2022 were collected, including determining their APOE genotypes. A 1‐year follow‐up was conducted to evaluate mortality, ICH recurrence, and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores at 3 and 12 months. Poor prognosis was defined as an mRS score of ≥ 3. Initially, we analyzed the relationships between different APOE alleles and mortality, recurrence, and poor prognosis. Subsequently, we explored additional factors influencing each prognostic outcome and conducted multivariate analysis to identify independent risk factors. An analysis was conducted on 289 patients diagnosed with ICH. The presence of the ε2 allele was found to be a significant independent predictor for unfavorable outcomes at both 3 months (p = 0.022, OR = 2.138, 95% CI [2.041, 3.470]) and 1 year (p = 0.020, OR = 5.116, 95% CI [5.044, 5.307]). Moreover, the ε4 allele was established as an independent risk factor for ICH recurrence within 1 year (p = 0.025, OR = 2.326, 95% CI [1.163, 2.652]), as well as for mortality at 3 months (p = 0.037, OR = 4.250, 95% CI [4.068, 4.920]) and 1 year (p = 0.023, OR = 4.109, 95% CI [4.016, 4.739]). In conclusions, Both APOE ε2 and ε4 variants independently heighten mortality risk, recurrence, and poor prognosis after ICH. The substantial influence underscores the need for additional investigation into the impact of APOE genotype on ICH prognosis.

Published: October 2024

AbstractThe natural product quinine has been known to humankind for centuries, and in that time has played a pivotal role in the treatment of malaria. Quinine, and the related cinchona alkaloids, have seen widespread contemporary use across chemical and biological disciplines, owing in part to the plethora of functional groups and stereochemical information contained within their scaffold. This review focuses on site‐selective synthetic modifications of the cinchona alkaloids. Our comparative analysis may act as a ‘user manual’ for the selective functionalisation of the cinchona alkaloids, and aims to promote consideration of remarkable and lesser‐understood aspects of cinchona chemistry.
