The synthesis and photophysical properties of a series of yellow-green to blue-green emitting heteroleptic, cyclometalated Pt(II)(acac) complexes based on substituted phenylpyridine and tetrahydroquinoline ligands is reported. The luminescence intensities and lifetimes of these compounds were also studied in poly(styrene) films with respect to their responses to oxygen and temperature. Particularly, due to the insensitivity to oxygen quenching, these complexes are promising candidates as inert reference dyes in optical sensors. On the other hand, the Pt(II) complex with 2-(4-bromophenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline as C^N ligand, displays a strong temperature quenching effect. The distinct response to temperature was additionally calibrated after incorporation in poly(vinylidene chloride-co-acrylonitrile) serving as oxygen-blocking matrix copolymer. The resulting yellow-green-emitting temperature sensor signifies an interesting alternative to the available mostly red emitting temperature-sensitive probes.

The hydrodynamics, water temperature, and water quality model for the Dan River and Renzhuang Reservoir continuum were developed using field monitoring data and the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC). An in-situ water discharge experiment enabled the calculation of water propagation time using a simulated flood progression method and the hydrodynamics module of EFDC. Based on these model results, degradation coefficients for chemical oxygen demand, biochemical oxygen demand, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), fluoride, arsenic were determined, revealing significantly higher values when the wetland barrage was opening.

Oxygen vacancy-rich defective tungsten oxide (WO) modified by Prussian blue for efficient photocatalytic carbon dioxide conversion and tetracycline degradation.

The coupling of carbon dioxide (CO) with epoxides to produce cyclic carbonates is a desirable decarbonization approach, but its commercial applicability is still restricted by the costly catalysts required, as well as the need for high temperature and high pressure. Herein, oxygen vacancy-rich defective tungsten oxide (WO) rich in Lewis acid sites was modified by Prussian blue (PB), and the obtained composite reaches up to 94 % styrene carbonate yield (171 mmol gh) at ambient temperature and pressure, exhibiting outstanding advantages in the photocatalytic CO cycloaddition reaction compared with currently reported photocatalysts. It is found that the introduction of PB with photothermal properties significantly enhances the capability of WO to absorb and activate CO and epoxide, along with its light utilization ability.

A novel photocatalytic method for the synthesis of 1,4-benzoxazepine using 2-alkoxyarylaldehyde as an oxygen source and -arylglycine as a nitrogen source has been reported. This method is mild, efficient, and fast, and the corresponding reaction can be completed within 2 h at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere and light-irradiation conditions. Mechanistic studies have confirmed that this scheme involves the decarboxylation cyclization of -arylglycine and provides a convenient pathway for the preparation of various 2-alkyl--phenyl-substituted 1,4-benzoxazepine.

Ultrafast Synthesis of Oxygen Vacancy-Rich MgFeSiO Cathode to Boost Diffusion Kinetics for Rechargeable Magnesium-Ion Batteries.

Nano Lett

January 2025

National Innovation Center for Industry-Education Integration of Energy Storage Technology, College of Materials Science and Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China.

Rechargeable magnesium ion batteries (RMBs) have drawn extensive attention due to their high theoretical volumetric capacity and low safety hazards. However, divalent Mg ions suffer sluggish mobility in cathodes owing to the high charge density and slow insertion/extraction kinetics. Herein, it is shown that an ultrafast nonequilibrium high-temperature shock (HTS) method with a high heating/quenching rate can instantly introduce oxygen vacancies into the olivine-structured MgFeSiO cathode (MgFeSiO-HTS) in seconds.

Background: Recent research has demonstrated that the consumption of high fat diet (HFD) can lead to metabolic dysfunctions and cognitive impairments in both mice models and humans. Given the potential negative effects of HFD, it is crucial to explore non-pharmacological alternatives that can serve as a potential treatment for both metabolic dysfunctions and behavioral effects induced by HFD. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the impact of chronic and intermittent exposure to cold temperature on the metabolic and cognitive changes associated with HFD consumption.
