Layered transition metal phosphorous trichalcogenide (MPX) materials have attracted immense attention due to their excellent optical and electrical properties. However, the controllable synthesis of ultrathin MPX nanosheets is still challenging. Here, we present a facile phosphosulfurization scheme to prepare high-quality layered FePS nanosheets, with ∼20 nanometers in thickness. The optical properties of the as-obtained FePS show good light-harvesting ability, which endows it with excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance (402.4 μmol g h) under the simulated solar illumination. We further show that other MPX family members such as InPS and CdPS can be also synthesized by the same approach. Our finding can offer a feasible approach for rationally designing other MPX materials for various applications.

Interlayer coupling in 2D heterostructures can result in a reduction of the rotation symmetry and the generation of quantum phenomena. Although these effects have been demonstrated in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with mismatched interfaces, the role of band hybridization remains unclear. In addition, the creation of flat bands at the valence band maximum (VBM) of TMDs is still an open challenge.

High-entropy phosphides (HEPs) have garnered increasing interest as innovative electrocatalysts for water splitting, highlighted by their distinctive catalytic activity, elemental synergy, and tunable electronic configuration. Herein, a novel electrode comprising CoNiCuZnFeP nanocubes with rich phosphorus vacancies was fabricated through coprecipitation and phosphorization two-step method. The synergistic interaction among metal elements and the modulation of the electronic configuration by phosphorus vacancies augmentation enhance the catalytic performance for both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

A novel phosphate-solubilizing and zinc-solubilizing actinobacterium strain YIM S08009 was isolated from rhizosphere soil collected from Pinus yunnanensis in Wuliangshan National Nature Reserve, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province, southwest PR China. Cells of strain YIM S08009 were Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, irregular rods to cocci, and formed yellow and white colonies on nutrient agar. Growth was observed at 10-40 °C (optimum 25-35 °C), pH 6.

Two-dimensional (2D) black arsenic phosphorus (b-AsP) material has been attracting considerable attention for its extraordinary properties. However, its application in large-scale device fabrication remains challenging due to the limited scale and irregular shape. Here, we found the special effect of Te upon growth of b-AsP and developed a novel Te-regulated steady growth (Te-SG) strategy to obtain high-quality b-AsP single crystal.

To update the efficacy and safety of different drugs for the treatment of patients with hyperphosphatemia in chronic kidney disease, we conducted a network meta-analysis of 22 therapies for the treatment of uncontrolled hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). All randomized controlled trials on hyperphosphatemia published from January 2013 to November 2023 were searched from CNKI, VIP database, Wanfang database, PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases. Meta-analysis was used to evaluate the serum phosphorus, calcium levels, total effective rate and adverse events of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
