A novel hybrid material CdS/2,9-Dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (CdS·BCP) was prepared from the decomposition of its organic soluble precursor complex Cd(S2COEt)2·(BCP) by low-temperature treatment. CdS·BCP, which integrated the favorable properties of solvent durability, and high electron mobility of CdS as well as the good hole blocking property of BCP, was designed and developed as the interface modification material to improve electron collection in bulk heterojunction organic solar cells (OSCs). The inverted OSCs with CdS·BCP as buffer layer on ITO showed improved efficiency compared with the pure CdS or BCP. Devices with CdS·BCP as interlayer exhibited excellent stability, only 14.19% decay of power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) was observed (from 7.47% to 6.41%) after stored in glovebox for 3264 h (136 days). Our results demonstrate promising potentials of hybrid materials as the interface modification layers in OSCs, and provide new insights for the development of new interface modification materials in the future.

Division of Molecular Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM, USA.
The oral epithelium, a dynamic interface constantly facing environmental challenges, relies on intricate molecular pathways to maintain its homeostasis. This comprehensive review delves into the nuanced interplay between T-lymphocytic cells (T cells) and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) within the oral epithelium, elucidating their roles in orchestrating immune responses and influencing tissue plasticity. By synthesizing current knowledge, we aim to unravel the molecular intricacies that govern this interplay, with a focus on potential therapeutic implications for oral health and diseases.

Doping and surface-modification are well-established strategies for the performance enhancement of bismuth vanadate (BiVO) photoanodes in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting devices. Herein, a "double-use" strategy for the development of high-performance BiVO photoanodes for solar water splitting is reported, where a molecular cobalt-phosphotungstate (CoPOM = Na[Co(HO)(PWO)]) is used both as a bulk doping agent as well as a surface-deposited water oxidation cocatalyst. The use of CoPOM for bulk doping of BiVO is shown to enhance the electrical conductivity and improve the charge separation efficiency, resulting in the enhancement of the maximum applied-bias photoconversion efficiency (ABPE) by a factor of ∼18 to 0.

Substantial amounts of oily wastewater are inevitably generated during petroleum extraction and petrochemical production, and the effective treatment of these O/W emulsions is crucial for environmental protection and resource recovery. The development of an environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and efficient demulsifier that operates effectively at low concentrations remains a significant challenge. This study introduces an eco-friendly ionic liquid demulsifier, Cotton Cellulose-Dodecylamine (CCDA), which demonstrates exceptional demulsification performance at low concentrations.

The unique structure of chitosan-based micelles can be loaded with essential oil, so it is significant to study the modification of chitosan and the interactions between chitosan and essential oil, while molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and density functional theory (DFT) provide a solution. In this study, three kinds of amphiphilic chitosan derivatives (CSDs) were constructed by grafting of different hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. Amphiphilic chitosan micelles loaded with Chinese fir essential oil (CFEO) were prepared by self-assembly.

Electronic address:
Due to its exceptional electronic properties and catalytic activity, MoC has garnered significant attention for its application in electrocatalysis, particularly for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, several critical challenges continue to impede its widespread use, especially under strongly alkaline conditions. A primary obstacle is the enhancement of its intrinsic activity through further modification strategies, which remains a key limitation for its broader utilization.
