The amounts and composition of metal sulfides formed during soil flooding vary with soils, and the oxidative dissolution of CdS is affected by both the free radical and voltaic effects offered by different metal sulfides. These effects are also applicable to the biogeochemistry of other chalcophile trace elements coupled with sulfur and iron redox cycles during the anoxic-oxic transition in many environments.Electrochemical tracking of redox-inactive neurochemicals remain a challenge due to chemical inertness, almost no Faraday electron transfer for these species, and the complex brain atmosphere. In this work, we demonstrate a low-cost, simple-making liquid/liquid interface microsensor (LLIM) to monitor redox-inactive neurochemicals in the rat brain. Taking choline (Ch) as an example, based on the difference in solvation energies of Ch in cerebrospinal fluid (aqueous phase) and 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCE; organic phase), Ch is recognized in the specific ion-transfer potential and distinctive ion-transfer current signals. The LLIM has an excellent response to Ch with good linearity and selectivity, and the detection limit is 0.37 μM. The LLIM can monitor the dynamics of Ch in the cortex of the rat brain by both local microinfusion and intraperitoneal injection of Ch. This work first demonstrates that the LLIM can be successfully applied in the brain and obtain electrochemical signals in such a sophisticated system, allowing one new perspective of sensing at the liquid/liquid interface for nonelectrically active substances in vivo to understand the physiological function of the brain.Excessive emissions of gaseous pollutants such as SO2, NOx, heavy metals (Hg, As, etc.), H2S, VOCs, etc. have triggered a series of environmental pollution incidents. Sulfate radical (SO4•-)-based advanced oxidation technologies (AOTs) are one of the most promising gaseous pollutants removal technologies because they can not only produce active free radicals with strong oxidation ability to simultaneously degrade most of gaseous pollutants, but also their reaction processes are environmentally friendly. However, so far, the special review focusing on gaseous pollutants removal using SO4•--based AOTs is not reported. This review reports the latest advances in removal of gaseous pollutants (e.g., SO2, NOx, Hg, As, H2S, and VOCs) using SO4•--based AOTs. The performance, mechanism, active species identification and advantages/disadvantages of these removal technologies using SO4•--based AOTs are reviewed. The existing challenges and further research suggestions are also commented. Results show that SO4•--based AOoblems. In order to clarify removal mechanism, it is essential to select suitable free radical sacrificial agents, probes and spin trapping agents, which possess high selectivity for target specie, high solubility in water, and little effect on activity of catalyst itself and mass transfer/diffusion parameters. In order to further reduce investment and operating costs, it is necessary to carry out the related studies on simultaneous removal of more gaseous pollutants.Biological ion pumps with two separate gates can actively transport ions against the concentration gradient. Developing an artificial nanofluidic device with multiple responsive sites is of great importance to improve its controllability over ion transport to further explore its logic function and mimic the biological process. Here, we propose an electrochemical polymerization method to fabricate electrochemically switchable double-gate nanofluidic devices. The ion transport of the double-gate nanofluidic device can be in situ and reversibly switched among four different states. The logic function of this nanofluidic device is systematically investigated by assuming the gate state as the input and the transmembrane ionic conductance as the output. A biomimetic electrochemical ion pump is then established by alternately applying two different specific logic combinations, realizing an active ion transport under a concentration gradient. This work would inspire further studies to construct complex logical networks and explore bioinspired ion pump systems.A novel approach for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) based on chemical ionization by Au+ ions has been proposed. The ionization is carried out in a commercially available dual sub-atmospheric pressure MALDI/ESI interface without any modifications. The Au+ ions are generated by laser ablation of a gold nanolayer with the MALDI laser, and VOCs are infused via the ESI capillary. The ultrahigh resolving power and sub-ppm mass accuracy of the employed mass spectrometer allow straightforward identification of the formed ion-molecule complexes and other products of Au+ interactions with VOCs in the gas phase. The performance of the technique is demonstrated on the analysis of various classes of organic molecules, namely, alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, aromatic compounds, carboxylic acids, ethers, or organosulfur compounds, expanding the portfolio of currently available methods for the analysis of VOCs such as secondary electrospray ionization, proton-transfer reaction, and selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry.Thermal resistances from interfaces impede heat dissipation in micro/nanoscale electronics, especially for high-power electronics. Despite the growing importance of understanding interfacial thermal transport, advanced thermal characterization techniques that can visualize thermal conductance across buried interfaces, especially for nonmetal-nonmetal interfaces, are still under development. This work reports a dual-modulation-frequency time-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) mapping technique (1.61 and 9.3 MHz) to visualize the thermal conduction across buried semiconductor interfaces for β-Ga2O3-SiC samples. Both the β-Ga2O3 thermal conductivity and the buried β-Ga2O3-SiC thermal boundary conductance (TBC) are visualized for an area of 200 × 200 μm simultaneously. Areas with low TBC values (≤20 MW/m2·K) are identified on the TBC map, which correspond to weakly bonded interfaces caused by high-temperature annealing. Additionally, the steady-state temperature rise induced by the TDTR laser, usually ignored in TDTR analysis, is found to be able to probe TBC variations of the buried interfaces without the typical limit of thermal penetration depth. This technique can be applied to detect defects/voids in deeply buried heterogeneous interfaces nondestructively and also opens a door for the visualization of thermal conductance in nanoscale nonhomogeneous structures.Laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) can be fabricated in virtually all types of solid materials and show great promise for efficient and scalable production of surface patterns with applications in various fields from photonics to engineering. Linrodostat While the majority of LIPSS manifest as modifications of the surface relief, in special cases, laser impact can also lead to periodic modulation of the material phase state. Here, we report on the fabrication of high-quality periodic structures in the films of phase-change material Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST). Due to considerable contrast of the refractive index of GST in its crystalline and amorphous states, the fabricated structures provide strong spatial modulation of the optical properties, which facilitates their applications. By changing the excitation laser wavelength, we observe the scaling of the grating period as well as transition between formation of different types of LIPSS. We optimize the laser exposure routine to achieve large-scale high-quality phase-change gratings with controllable period and demonstrate their reversible tunability through intermediate amorphization steps. Our results reveal the prospects of fast and rewritable fabrication of high-quality periodic structures for photonics and can serve as a guideline for further development of phase-change material-based optical elements.Water and energy scarcity are the challenges for humankind in the coming years. Sun is the largest source of energy available on the planet. Also, brackish seawater covers more than 70% of the surface of the planet. Therefore, combining these two valuable natural resources represents an appealing solution to overcome the problem of sweet water shortage. To achieve this goal, the missing link is to develop appropriate photothermal materials with efficient light-to-heat-to-vapor generation. In this work, green moss is introduced as a natural, eco-friendly, abundant, superhydrophilic, fast water transporter, salt rejector, and highly efficient solar collector material. Green moss, owing to its open-microgrooves, can supply adequate water to the evaporation surface, while its open capillary channels can reject the precipitated salt, allowing its reusability. The green moss solar steam generator demonstrated an outstanding solar evaporation rate of 2.61 kg m-2 h-1 under 1 sun illumination, which is much higher than other reported natural and chemically modified biomasses under otherwise similar conditions. Interestingly, upon chemical modification of the green moss surface, it is possible to increase its solar evaporation rate to >3 kg m-2 h-1. Using the moss to purify and desalinate brackish water, it was demonstrated that it has the ability to decrease salinity below the WHO standards for drinkable water.Conventional biomaterial-mediated osteosarcoma therapy mainly focuses on its antitumor effect yet often fails to overcome the problem of post-treatment bone tissue defect repair. Simultaneously, minimally invasive drug delivery methods are becoming spotlights for normal tissue preservation. Herein, an injectable curcumin-microsphere/IR820 coloaded hybrid methylcellulose hydrogel (Cur-MP/IR820 gel) platform was designed for osteosarcoma therapy and bone regeneration. In vitro, the K7M2wt osteosarcoma cells were eradicated by hyperthermia and curcumin. Later, the sustained release of curcumin promoted alkaline phosphatase expression and calcium deposition of bone mesenchymal stem cells. In vivo, this hybrid hydrogel could reach tumor site via injection and turned into hydrogel due to heat sensitivity. Under the irradiation of an 808 nm laser, localized hyperthermia (∼51 °C) generated in 5 min to ablate the tumor. Meanwhile, the thermal-accelerated curcumin release and thermal-increased cell membrane permeability led to tumor cell apoptosis. Tumors in photothermal-co-chemotherapy group were successfully restrained from day 2 after treatment. After that, bone reconstruction was promoted because of sustained released curcumin. The chemo-co-thermal efficacy and osteogenic capacity of Cur-MP/IR820 hydrogel suggest a promising approach to the treatment of osteosarcoma and provide provoking inspiration for treating bone tumors and repairing bone tissue.Understanding the crystallization mechanism of amorphous metal-oxide thin films remains of importance to avoid the deterioration of multifunctional flexible electronics. We derived the crystallization mechanism of indium-based functional amorphous oxide films by using in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements. Crystallization begins with surface nucleation, especially at low annealing temperatures, and proceeds simultaneous nucleation and growth in the bulk. Three-dimensional crystal growth in the film was observed when the crystallite size was sufficiently smaller than the film thickness. When the growing crystallites reached the film surface, the crystallization was dominated by two- or lower-dimensional growth. Such crystallization can be explained within the framework of the modified Avrami theory and can be varied for tailoring the electrical properties of the amorphous In2O3 film. After tailoring the film crystallinity and crystallite size, the carrier mobility was improved to >100 cm2/V·s in 30 min.
