    Abstract Oxaliplatin (Oxa) is a commonly used chemotherapy drug in the treatment of gastric cancer, but its toxic side effects and drug resistance after long-term use have seriously limited its efficacy. Loading chemotherapy drugs with nanomaterials and delivering them to the tumor site are common ways to overcome the above problems. However, nanomaterials as carriers do not have therapeutic functions on their own, and the effect of single chemotherapy is relatively limited, so there is still room for progress in related research. Herein, we construct Oxa@Mil-100(Fe) nanocomposites by loading Oxa with a metal-organic framework (MOF) Mil-100(Fe) with high biocompatibility and a large specific surface area. The pore structure of Mil-100(Fe) is conducive to a large amount of Oxa loading with a drug-loading rate of up to 27.2%. Oxa@Mil-100(Fe) is responsive to the tumor microenvironment (TME) and can release Oxa and Fe

    Abstract A Cu micromembrane is successfully fabricated and validated as a porous flexible electrode. The Cu micromembrane is prepared by functionalizing individual polypropylene (PP) fibers in a polypropylene micromembrane (PPMM) using a mixture of polydopamine (PDA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI). The mixture of PDA and PEI provides adhesive, wetting, and reducing functionalities that facilitate subsequent Ag activation and Cu electroless plating. Scanning electron microscopy reveals conformal deposition of Cu on individual PP fibers. Porometer analysis indicates that the porous nature of PPMM is properly maintained. The Cu micromembrane demonstrates impressive electrical conductivities in both the X direction (1.04 ± 0.21 S/cm) and Z direction (2.99 ± 0.54 × 10

    Abstract Recently, due to the high energy density of ammonia, low source-to-tank energy cost and carbon free fuel, low-temperature direct ammonia fuel cells (DAFCs) have attracted extensive attention and play an important role in ammonia economy. In DAFCs, Pt-based materials have been the most studied electrocatalysts for the anodic ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) and cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) over the past decade. However, the high cost of precious metal has markedly inhibited the large-scale application of DAFCs. Herein, a bifunctional material of ternary Ni4Cu5Fex (x = 0, 0.5, 1, 3, 5) alloy embedded in a carbon network was prepared by a simple solvothermal approach, and showed superior activity and durability towards both AOR and ORR. The excellent bifunctional catalytic activity of the Ni4Cu5Fe1/C sample was analyzed by experimental and calculational methods. Utilizing the bifunctional activities of this alloy, a symmetric DAFC was assembled with Ni4Cu5Fe1/C as both the anode and cathode, with a commercial anion exchange membrane (AEM) as electrolyte. The symmetric DAFC-Ni4Cu5Fe1/C showed a maximum current density of 67 mA cm⁻² at 80 °C. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on a symmetric DAFC. This work not only reports a new AOR/ORR bifunctional catalyst, but also moves towards the development of low-cost DAFCs with simple structure.

    Abstract N,N-Dimethylacetamide (DMA) cooperated with LiNO₃ salt has previously shown to be a promising electrolyte for a Li//O₂ battery, showing good stability against both the O₂ electrode reaction and Li stripping/plating. In this work, DMA is hybridized with a concentrated nitrate electrolyte [2.5 m Zn(NO₃)₂ + 13 m LiNO₃ aqueous solution] for better electrochemical stability while using less dissolved salts. The widest electrochemical stability window for this DMA-diluted electrolyte is determined as 3.1 V, the negative critical stability potential of which is −1.6 V versus Ag/AgCl, indicating desirable stability against hydrogen evolution and Zn deposition. The findings can be attributed to the weakened Li⁺/Zn²⁺ solvation sheath caused by low permittivity of DMA, as revealed through Raman spectra characterization and molecular dynamics simulation. A Zn//Zn symmetrical cell and Zn//LiMn₂O₄ hybrid ion batteries are assembled in air directly, attributed to the stability of DMA toward O₂. Zn stripping/plating with a dendrite-free morphology is delivered for 110 h and 200 charge/discharge cycles under 1 C rate, achieving 99.0% Coulombic efficiency. The maximum capacity of the battery is 121.0 mA h·g–¹ under 0.2 C rate (based on the mass of LiMn₂O₄), delivering an energy density of 165.8 W h·kg–¹ together with 2.0 V working voltage. This work demonstrates the feasibility and validity of utilizing a relatively dilute electrolyte dissolved in oxygen for a highly stable aqueous rechargeable battery.

    Abstract Numerous efforts have been attempted to mimic human tongue since years. However, they still have limitations because of damages, temperature effects, detection ranges etc. Herein, a self-healable hydrogel-based artificial bioelectronic tongue (E-tongue) containing mucin as a secreted protein, sodium chloride as an ion transporting electrolyte, and chitosan/poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) as the main 3D structure holding hydrogel network is synthesized. This E-tongue is introduced to mimic astringent and bitter mouth feel based on cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements subjected to target substances, which permits astringent tannic acid (TA) and bitter quinine sulfate (QS) to be detected over wide corresponding ranges of 29.3 mM-0.59 μM and 63.8 mM-6.38 μM with remarkable respective sensitivities of 0.2 and 0.12 wt%⁻¹. Besides, the taste selectivity of this E-tongue is performed in the presence of various mixed-taste chemicals to show its high selective behavior toward bitter and astringent chemicals. The electrical self-healability is shown via CV responses to illustrate electrical recovery within a short time span. In addition, cytotoxicity tests using HeLa cells are performed, where a clear viability of ≥95% verified its biocompatibility. The anti-freezing sensing of E-tongue tastes at −5 °C also makes this work to be useful at sub-zero environments. Real time degrees of tastes are detected using beverages and fruits to confirm future potential applications in food taste detections and humanoid robots.

    Abstract Fluoride accumulates and is toxic to bones. Clinical bone lesions occur in a phased manner, being less severe early in the natural course of skeletal fluorosis. Previous research rarely focused on osteocyte, osteoclast, and osteoblast at the same time, although these three types of cells are involved in the process of fluorosis. In this study, commitment of bone cells was performed according to their respective characteristics. Osteocyte-like cells were verified by protein expression of sclerostin (SOST) in IDG-SW3 cell culture with mineral medium. Positive tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP) staining, characteristic of osteoclasts, is observed in RAW264.7 cells after administration of RANKL. We successfully purified a high percentage (94%) of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) co-expressing CD34 and CD44. Parallel studies were performed to observe cell viability and apoptosis rates in osteocyte, osteoclast, and osteoblast like cells by using MTT and Annexin V FITC assays. Our results demonstrated that osteocytes have a strong tolerance to high fluoride concentrations, while osteoclasts are more sensitive to changes of fluoride dose. The range of anabolic action of fluoride concentration on osteoblast was narrow. Notably, fluoride exposure aggravated apoptosis of osteocyte and osteoclast induced by administration of PTH and TGF-β, respectively. In short, three types of bone cells display disparate responses to fluoride exposure and to PTH- and TGF-β-induced apoptosis.
