Photoluminescence quantum yield of carbon dots: emission due to multiple centers < em > versus < /em > excitonic emission
Nanoscale Adv. 2024 Mar 27;6(8):2185-2197. doi: 10.1039/d4na00033a. eCollection 2024 Apr 16.ABSTRACTCarbon dots (CDs) are recognized as promising fluorescent nanomaterials with bright emission and large variations of photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). However, there is still no unique approach for explanation of mechanisms and recipes for synthetic procedures/chemical composition of CDs responsible for the enhancement of PLQY. Here, we compare photophysical behavior and PLQY of two types of CDs synthesized by different routes, leading to the different extent of oxidation and composition. The first type of CDs represen...

An experimental and numerical study on adhesion force at the nanoscale
Nanoscale Adv. 2024 Feb 27;6(8):2013-2025. doi: 10.1039/d3na01044a. eCollection 2024 Apr 16.ABSTRACTAdhesion has attracted great interest in science and engineering especially in the field pertaining to nano-science because every form of physical contact is fundamentally a macroscopic observation of interactions between nano-asperities under the adhesion phenomenon. Despite its importance, no practical adhesion prediction model has been developed due to the complexity of examining contact between nano-asperities. Here, we scrutinized the contact phenomenon and developed a contact model, reflecting the physical sequence in ...

Quantitative analysis of the illegal addition of Atenolol in Panax notoginseng based on NIR-MIR spectral data fusion and calibration transfer
RSC Adv. 2024 Apr 17;14(18):12428-12437. doi: 10.1039/d3ra08183d. eCollection 2024 Apr 16.ABSTRACTTo address the issue of the common illegal addition of Atenolol in Panax notoginseng, we propose an approach that realizes multivariate calibration transfer between different particle sizes based on near-infrared (NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) spectral data fusion. To achieve high prediction accuracy, we construct three data fusion schemes (full-spectrum fusion, feature-level fusion, and decision-level fusion) that combine NIR and MIR spectral data. Among three data fusion schemes, the feature-level fusion based on the UVE-SPA-P...

Harnessing the power of natural deep eutectic solvents (choline chloride/sucrose) and polypropylene glycol in the formation of aqueous biphasic systems and the application of these systems in drug extraction
In this study, we focused on investigating the phase behavior of ABSs composed of poly(propylene) glycol 400 and NADESs (specifically, choline chloride/sucrose with molar ratios of 2 : 1 and 1 : 1). By analyzing the compositions of tie-lines, it was observed that these ABSs, which consist of four components, exhibit characteristics similar to ternary systems. To examine the influence of molar ratios on phase separation, the binodal model was applied to the obtained binodal data. The NRTL and UNIQUAC models were employed to establish correlations for the tie-lines. Moreover, we examined the extraction capabilities of the af...

Multi-Sensor Origami Platform: A Customizable System for Obtaining Spatiotemporally Precise Functional Readouts in 3D Models
Adv Sci (Weinh). 2024 Apr 18:e2305555. doi: 10.1002/advs.202305555. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBioprinting technology offers unprecedented opportunities to construct in vitro tissue models that recapitulate the 3D morphology and functionality of native tissue. Yet, it remains difficult to obtain adequate functional readouts from such models. In particular, it is challenging to position sensors in desired locations within pre-fabricated 3D bioprinted structures. At the same time, bioprinting tissue directly onto a sensing device is not feasible due to interference with the printer head. As such, a multi-sensing platform ...

Multiome in the Same Cell Reveals the Impact of Osmotic Stress on Arabidopsis Root Tip Development at Single-Cell Level
Adv Sci (Weinh). 2024 Apr 18:e2308384. doi: 10.1002/advs.202308384. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCell-specific transcriptional regulatory networks (TRNs) play vital roles in plant development and response to environmental stresses. However, traditional single-cell mono-omics techniques are unable to directly capture the relationships and dynamics between different layers of molecular information within the same cells. While advanced algorithm facilitates merging scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq datasets, accurate data integration remains a challenge, particularly when investigating cell-type-specific TRNs. By examining gene expre...

Adv Sci (Weinh). 2024 Apr 18:e2307965. doi: 10.1002/advs.202307965. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiffusion magnetic resonance imaging is an important tool for mapping tissue microstructure and structural connectivity non-invasively in the in vivo human brain. Numerous diffusion signal models are proposed to quantify microstructural properties. Nonetheless, accurate estimation of model parameters is computationally expensive and impeded by image noise. Supervised deep learning-based estimation approaches exhibit efficiency and superior performance but require additional training data and may be not generalizable. A new DIf...

Adv Sci (Weinh). 2024 Apr 16:e2401667. doi: 10.1002/advs.202401667. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConstructing heterojunctions with vacancies has garnered substantial attention in the field of piezo-photocatalysis. However, the presence of interfacial vacancies can serve as charge-trapping sites, leading to the localization of electrons and hindering interfacial charge transfer. Herein, dual oxygen vacancies in the NiFe-layered double hydroxide and Bi2MoO6- x induced interfacial bonds have been designed for the piezo-photocatalytic N2 oxidation to NO3 -. Fortunately, it achieves sensational nitric acid production rates (7....

A prediction model for CO < sub > 2 < /sub > /CO adsorption performance on binary alloys based on machine learning
In this study, an ML model was developed to predict the CO2 and CO adsorption affinity on single-atom doped binary alloys based on the thermochemical properties of component metals. By using a greedy algorithm, the best combination of features was determined, and the ML model was trained and verified based on a data set containing 78 alloys on which the adsorption energy values of CO2 and CO were calculated from DFT. Comparison between predicted and DFT calculated adsorption energy values suggests that the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) algorithm has excellent generalization performance, and the R-squared (R2) for CO2...
