A review on sustainable photocatalytic degradation of agro-organochlorine and organophosphorus water pollutants using biogenic iron and iron oxide-based nanoarchitecture materials Sustainable accessibility and adequate availability of healthy water are preconditions for healthy living and effective uninterrupted ecological networking. However, the presence of organic pollutants like organochlorine (OC) and organophosphorus (OP) compounds in the environment has led to continuous shrinkage in the percentage of clean water available for humanity's basic needs. Interestingly, green nanoparticles biosynthesized using biogenic entities have recently emerged as an appealing choice for photocatalytic degradation of a wide range of pollutants owing to their eco-benignness. Particularly, biogenic iron-based nanoparticles (BIBNPs) have demonstrated unique properties such as ease of fabrication, excellent regenerability, strong redox potential, the ability to absorb a wide range of visible light, and the ability to produce highly reactive oxygen species that can enhance degradation efficiency and low aggregation which are beneficial for the remediation of water contaminants. The ability of BIBNPs to maintain stability and reactivity under various environmental conditions makes them a promising solution for environmental cleanup efforts. This review aims to critically report and empirically juxtapose the efficiency of biogenic iron and iron oxide NPs for photocatalytic degradation of a wide spectrum of OC and OP pollutants in aquatic environments. The work also generously elucidates the potential of BIBNPs as eco-benign and recyclable photocatalysts for the complete mineralization of OC and OP. The study also pragmatically expounded the photocatalytic degradation mechanism and presented frontiers and future research directions in circular economy, financial analysis, artificial intelligence integration, and hybrid technology. It was discovered that the most prevalent end mineralization products were CO2 and H2O, that the least amount of time needed for degradation was just five minutes, and plant extract was the most widely used bio-reductant for the bio-fabrication of BIBNPs. The greatest degradation efficiency was also found to be 100 % which is a testament to the superior efficacy of BIBNPs.

Mass spectrometry imaging in plants, microbes, and food: a review Plant health, which affects the nutritional quality and safety of derivative food products, is influenced by symbiotic interactions with microorganisms. These interactions influence the local molecular profile at the tissue level. Therefore, studying the distribution of molecules within plants, microbes, and plant-based food is crucial to assess plant health, ensure the safety and quality of the agricultural products that become part of our food supply, and plan agricultural management practices. Within this framework, the molecular distribution within plant-based samples can be visualized with mass spectrometry imaging (MSI). This review describes key MSI methodologies, highlighting the role they play in unraveling the localization of metabolites, lipids, proteins, pigments, and elemental components across plants, microbes, and food products. Furthermore, investigations that involve multimodal molecular imaging approaches combining MSI with other imaging techniques are described. The advantages and limitations of the different MSI techniques that influence their applicability in diverse agro-food studies are described to enable informed choices for tailored analyses. For example, some MSI technologies involve meticulous sample preparation while others compromise spatial resolution to gain throughput. Key parameters such as sensitivity, ionization bias and fragmentation, reference database and compound class specificity are described and discussed in this review. With the ongoing refinements in instrumentation, data analysis, and integration of complementary techniques, MSI deepens our insight into the molecular biology of the agricultural ecosystem. This in turn empowers the quest for sustainable and productive agricultural practices.

Lone Pair Induced 1D Character and Weak Cation–Anion Interactions: Two Ingredients for Low Thermal Conductivity in Mixed-Anion Metal Chalcohalide CuBiSCl<sub>2</sub> Mixed-anion compounds, which incorporate multiple types of anions into materials, display tailored crystal structures and physical/chemical properties, garnering immense interest in various applications such as batteries, catalysis, photovoltaics, and thermoelectrics. However, detailed studies regarding correlations among crystal structure, chemical bonding, and thermal/vibrational properties are rare for these compounds, which limits the exploration of mixed-anion compounds for associated thermal applications. In this work, we investigate the lattice dynamics and thermal transport properties of the metal chalcohalide, CuBiSCl<sub>2</sub>. A high-purity polycrystalline CuBiSCl<sub>2</sub> sample exhibits a low lattice thermal conductivity (κ<sub>L</sub>) of 0.9-0.6 W/(m·K) from 300 to 573 K. By combining various experimental techniques, including three-dimensional (3D) electron diffraction, with theoretical calculations, we elucidate the origin of low κ<sub>L</sub> in CuBiSCl<sub>2</sub>. The stereochemical activity of the 6s<sup>2</sup> lone pair of Bi<sup>3+</sup> favors an asymmetric environment with neighboring anions involving both short and long bond lengths. This particularity often implies weak bonding, low structure dimensionality, and strong anharmonicity, leading to a low κ<sub>L</sub>. In addition, the strong 2-fold linear S-Cu-S coordination with weak Cu···Cl interactions induces a large anisotropic vibration of Cu, which enables strong phonon-phonon scattering and decreases κ<sub>L</sub>. The investigations into lattice dynamics and thermal transport properties of CuBiSCl<sub>2</sub> broaden the scope of the existing mixed-anion compounds suitable for the associated thermal applications, offering a new avenue for the search for low thermal conductivity materials in low-cost mixed-anion compounds.

Development of an efficient, effective, and economical technology for proteome analysis We present an efficient, effective, and economical approach, named E3technology, for proteomics sample preparation. By immobilizing silica microparticles into the polytetrafluoroethylene matrix, we develop a robust membrane medium, which could serve as a reliable platform to generate proteomics-friendly samples in a rapid and low-cost fashion. We benchmark its performance using different formats and demonstrate them with a variety of sample types of varied complexity, quantity, and volume. Our data suggest that E3technology provides proteome-wide identification and quantitation performance equivalent or superior to many existing methods. We further propose an enhanced single-vessel approach, named E4technology, which performs on-filter in-cell digestion with minimal sample loss and high sensitivity, enabling low-input and low-cell proteomics. Lastly, we utilized the above technologies to investigate RNA-binding proteins and profile the intact bacterial cell proteome.

Self-healing photoluminescent polymers with photosensitive behavior for information storage and multiple-level dynamic encryption Photo-responsive luminescent materials capable of responding to light stimuli are crucial in the realm of sophisticated encryption, anti-counterfeiting, and optical data storage. Yet, the development of such materials that also feature self-healing capabilities, swift reaction times, light weight, fatigue resistance, dynamic display abilities, and enhanced security measures is exceedingly rare and presents considerable challenges. Herein, a novel family of self-healing and photo-stimuli-responsive photoluminescent polymers are reported, which is achieved by interlinking terpyridine- and spiropyran-functionalized polymers through N-Ln coordination bonds and hydrogen bonding among the polymer chains. The resulting polymers exhibit good processability, superior tensile strength, fast self-healing ability, and photo-stimuli-responsive performance. The photo-stimuli-responsive properties include unique color shifts (colorless and purple) and light-controlled time-dependent fluorescence modulation (green-, red-, and yellow-emission), which stem from fine-tuning the isomerization of spiropyran and leveraging the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from Ln-Tpy donors to spiropyran acceptors, respectively. Besides, these polymers have been successfully applied in dynamic multi-level information encryption applications. We are convinced that these smart materials, crafted through our innovative approach, hold vast potential for applications in information storage, cutting-edge anti-counterfeiting encryption, UV-sensing, and light-writing technologies, marking a novel strategy in the design of photosensitive luminescent smart materials.

Structurally altered size, composition, shape and interface-dependent optical properties of quantized nanomaterials The impact of the size effect on the color and photoluminescence (PL) of quantum dots (QDs) has sparked a revolutionary field of research, culminating in the prestigious Nobel Prize in 2023. Prior to their widespread popularization and large-scale commercialization, it is of paramount importance to effectively manipulate and optimize their optical properties. In this review, we place specific emphasis on the striking correlation between the optical characteristics of QDs and their size, structure, composition, and interface environment. We commence by tracing the evolution of quantum dot technology and subsequently categorizing QDs while outlining their typical synthesis methods. This is followed by a deep dive into the pivotal roles of size, composition, structure, and interfacial ligands in fine-tuning, optimizing, and enhancing the optical properties of QDs. Additionally, we illustrate the luminescence enhancement and charge transfer phenomena stemming from the heterojunction between semiconductor QDs and metal nanomaterials, which contribute to improved performance. Lastly, we introduce the burgeoning field of chiral QDs and their innovative applications. Armed with this knowledge, QDs can be readily tailored to exhibit adjustable luminous characteristics across the entire spectrum, boasting high luminous efficiency through multifaceted regulation. These advancements render QDs even more enticing and promising for a wide array of applications.

Ordered Anodic Aluminum Oxide-Based Nanostructures for Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering: A Review As a promising spectroscopic technique, surface enhanced raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been intensively used in bio/chemical sensing, attributing to its unique advantages of ultrasensitive and accurate detection of trace amounts of analytes, high specific fingerprint-like features, fast response, and noninvasive sensing. The robustness and consistency of SERS signals in practical analytical applications highly rely on the composition, structural morphology, and uniformity of SERS substrates. These factors play a pivotal role in determining the intensity and reproducibility of the detected signals. SERS substrates based on ordered nanostructures that are fabricated from anodic aluminum oxide (AAO)-template-assisted approaches are of significant interest due to their cost effectiveness, scalability, precise structural control, and exceptionally ordered features. In this review, recent progress in SERS substrates with high sensitivity and reproducibility prepared from AAO templates is highlighted. We emphasize the optimization strategies toward achieving efficient SERS-active substrates by fine-tuning the size, composition, and morphology of AAO-derived ordered nanostructures. Furthermore, we delve into the discussion of flexible and smart SERS substrates, while also exploring key aspects pertinent to further amplifying SERS signals. Overall, this review aims to offer insights into the future integration of the AAO templates technique with SERS, providing crucial perspectives for forthcoming research in this field.

Photosynthesis of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> using Phenothiazine‐Based Covalent‐Organic Frameworks Mimicking Coenzyme Q Mimicking natural enzymes through artificial enzyme engineering represents a powerful strategy to fine-tune the performance of photocatalysts, while the manipulation of electron transfer systems through atomic precision control is challenging. Herein, we reported a series of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) based on progressively oxidized phenothiazine (PTH) core as the platform for emulating Coenzyme Q, achieved through meticulous stepwise adjustments of their redox states. Compared to the original PTH-S-COF, the COFs with incrementally oxidized sulfur sites exhibited enhanced charge transfer efficiencies, facilitating efficient electron donation to O<sub>2</sub> and thereby providing a favorable pathway for H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> synthesis. Notably, the PTH-SO<sub>2</sub>-COF achieved a remarkable synthesis rate of 7755 μmol g<sup>-1</sup> h<sup>-1</sup>, marking a 720 % improvement over the PTH-S-COF baseline. Furthermore, upon adjusting the sacrificial agent ratio, this rate soared to an impressive 13565 μmol g<sup>-1</sup> h<sup>-1</sup>, surpassing the most reported photo-active COFs. In situ characterizations and simulations verified that three H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> evolution pathways (2e<sup>-</sup> ORR, 4e<sup>-</sup> OER, and 4e<sup>-</sup> ORR) all involved in the H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> production process. As a result, our findings introduce a novel pathway for the development of high-performance COF-based photocatalysts through the innovative application of artificial enzyme-mimicking techniques.
