AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Surface enhanced raman scattering (SERS) of triphenylene (TP) has been recorded on Ag nanoparticles functionalized with the molecular assembler bis-acridinium lucigenine dication (LG) which approaches the adsorbate to the metal surface allowing for its detection. Structural information on the host and the analyte can be extracted from the SERS spectra of LG and LG/TP complex. The acridinium planes in LG are staggered, so cavities into which hydrophobic TP can be allocated are created. Moreover, the orientation of LG with respect to the metal surface changes from tilted to perpendicular when concentration of TP increases. However, perpendicular orientation of TP with respect to the metal surface is preferred according to the in-plane enhanced bands recorded in the SERS spectrum. The dependence of the Raman signal of TP on LG concentration has been checked, and trace concentrations of TP have been detected by this technique which therefore can be used as a chemical sensor of organic pollutants.

Tannic acid (TA), as a plant polyphenol, has many active sites for chelation with metals, so TA-oligomers (TA-Olig) were used for the first time as ligands on the surface of Ce-Mn-LDH to prepare the layered double hydroxide-based metal-organic framework (Ce-Mn-LDH@CPTMS@TA-Olig@Co-MOF = E) nanocomposite. In this regard, a homogeneous water/ethanol solution was prepared by sol-gel method using polyethylene glycol and ammonia solution, and then TA was converted into a set of oligomers in the presence of formaldehyde. In the next step, Ce-Mn-LDH was prepared in a ratio of 1 : 4 of Ce to Mn, modified with 3-chloropropylmethoxysilane, functionalized by TA-Olig, and then cobalt salt was used to prepare E.

Background: Melanoma is an aggressive skin tumor with limited therapeutic options due to rapid proliferation, early metastasis, and poor prognosis. Baicalin (BA), a natural flavonoid, shows promise in inducing ferroptosis and apoptosis but faces challenges of poor solubility and bioavailability. To address these issues, we developed a multifunctional drug delivery system: manganese-doped ZIF-8 nanoparticles (ZIF(Mn)) loaded with BA and modified with folic acid (FA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG).

The safety and cycling stability of potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are deeply associated with potassium-ion electrolytes. However, due to the weak Lewis acidity of potassium ions, localized high-concentration electrolytes in PIBs are prone to excessive weak solvation. Herein, we propose an entropy repair strategy for the solvation structure of potassium ions and systematically design a moderately weakly solvated high-entropy localized high-concentration electrolyte.

The irreversible chemistry of the Zn anode, attributed to parasitic reactions and the growth of zinc dendrites, is the bottleneck in the commercialization of aqueous zinc-ion batteries. Herein, an efficient strategy via constructing an organic protective layer configured with a honeycomb-like globular-covalent organic framework (G-COF) was constructed to enhance the interfacial stability of Zn anodes. Theoretical analyses disclose that the methoxy and imine groups in G-COF have more negative adsorption energy and electrostatic potential distribution, favorable Zn adsorption, and diffusion.
