Invited for this month's cover are the three collaborating groups from the University of Stuttgart and the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research in Potsdam, both from Germany as well as the University of Windsor, Canada. The cover picture shows the shift of frontier orbital energies and symmetries upon excitation with light for three different chromophore lengths.

Biomass burning is an important source of brown carbon (BrC) aerosols, which influence climate by affecting the Earth's radiative balance. However, the transformation pathways of BrC chromophores, especially in the presence of photochemically active species, such as nitrate, are not well understood. In this study, the nitrate-mediated aqueous-phase photooxidation of three typical BrC chromophores from biomass burning was investigated, including 4-nitrocatechol, 3-nitrosalicylic acid, and 3,4-dinitrophenol.

Solar evaporation exhibits significant potential for the treatment of high-salt organic wastewater. However, it's also confronted with challenges due to the accumulation of organic pollutants and salts in the concentrated wastewater following evaporation, which compromises the long-term stability of evaporation unit and complicates subsequent treatment processes. To address these challenges, a volumetric solar interfacial evaporation (V-SIE) system by integrating FeO HO nanofluids and peroxydisulfate (PDS) were proposed in this study.

The dark coloration of industrial lignin significantly limits its potential for applications in high-value products. This work reported a practical strategy for lignin color reduction through the synergistic treatment of acidic deep eutectic solvent and isopropanol (DES-IPA). The results showed that the DES-IPA treatment could effectively remove the p-coumarate units and methoxy groups in lignin.

Bilirubin, a yellow bile pigment, plays an important role in the body, being a potent antioxidant and having anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, cytoprotective, and neuroprotective functions. This makes bilirubin promising as a therapeutic and diagnostic agent in biomedicine. However, excess bilirubin is toxic and should be removed from the body.

Depth-dependent fluence-compensation in photoacoustic (PA) imaging is paramount for accurate quantification of chromophores from deep tissues. Here we present a user-friendly toolkit named PHANTOM (PHotoacoustic ANnotation TOolkit for MATLAB) that includes a graphical interface and assists in the segmentation of ultrasound-guided PA images. We modelled the light source configuration with Monte Carlo eXtreme and utilized 3D segmented tissues from ultrasound to generate fluence maps to depth compensate PA images.
