Summary: In this study, we report the design of a Ti-based metal-organic framework (MIL) and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) heterostructure, MIL@Ag. It is found that the introduction of Ag NPs significantly improves the electron transfer efficiency and O2 adsorption capacity of MIL, leading to enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation for sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Under ultrasound irradiation, the activated electrons and holes from MIL and Ag NPs produce superoxide radicals and hydroxyl radicals, respectively, improving the therapeutic efficiency of SDT. MIL@Ag-PEG-mediated SDT demonstrates effective cancer cell killing and bacterial infection eradication. Thus, MIL@Ag-PEG provides a promising strategy for enhancing SDT performance through rational heterostructure design of sonosensitizers.

Summary: Efficient photocatalytic CO2-to-CO conversion in pure water was achieved by utilizing sub-3-nm-thick BiOCl nanosheets with van der Waals gaps on the two-dimensional facets. The presence of VDWGs on atomic layers significantly enhanced charge separation efficiency and facilitated the formation of highly active sites for CO2 transformation. Increasing VDWG exposure is proposed as a strategy for designing high-performance solar-fuel generation systems.

Summary: Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a non-invasive therapeutic modality that uses reactive oxygen species (ROS) to treat tumors. However, the lack of high-performance sonosensitizers has limited the clinical translation of SDT. In this study, single atom iron (Fe)-doped graphitic-phase carbon nitride (C3N4) nanosheets were designed as chemoreactive sonosensitizers to generate ROS for melanoma treatment. The Fe doping not only improves the efficiency of ROS generation, but also acts as a peroxidase mimetic enzyme to catalyze the Fenton reaction for generating hydroxyl radicals, enhancing the therapeutic effect of SDT. This work demonstrates a unique single atom doping strategy for improving sonosensitizers and expands the application of semiconductor-based inorganic sonosensitizers in cancer therapy.

Summary: This review summarizes the recent advances in recovery technologies of carboxylic acids and their applications, providing a reference for future study and industrial application. Integrated processes face the challenges of impurity removal from fermentation broth at the expense of loss and cost. Biological synthesis is a better option compared to chemical processes due to lower substrate requirements. The use of toxic agents, acid/alkaline consumption, and membrane fouling hinder the sustainability and scale-up of the downstream processes. Future research on novel solvents and materials is necessary to achieve sustainable recovery and cost reduction in the downstream processes.

Summary: This study reported a new strategy for improving anaerobic digestion (AD) performance under ammonia pressure by regulating the microbiome and enzymes to enhance volatile fatty acids (VFAs) bioconversion. The addition of glutathione significantly increased methane yield and enhanced bioconversion and cell viability under ammonia stress. Metagenomic and metaproteomic analyses revealed that key microbiota and vital proteins involved in enzyme synthesis and catalysis were enriched in the presence of glutathione. The findings suggest that glutathione plays a role in regulating functional microbiome and enzyme activity, offering an alternative approach for improving AD performance under high ammonia conditions.

Summary: The removal of environmental pollutants is essential for the sustainability of ecosystems and human health. Shewanella oneidensis (S. oneidensis) has shown great potential in removing various pollutants, such as heavy metals, inorganic non-metallic ions, and toxic organic compounds. However, while S. oneidensis can mineralize certain organic compounds and reduce specific pollutants through extracellular electron transfer, it requires additional strategies such as catalyst synthesis, bio-photocatalytic systems, Fenton reactions, microbial consortia formation, and genetic engineering for the removal of most organic pollutants. The industrial-scale application of S. oneidensis is still limited and requires further research and development of large-scale reactors.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanism of a coculture promoting NADH production and electron transfer using proteomic analysis and intermediate experiments. The results showed that one bacterium produced glutamine and lactate, which were captured by another bacterium to synthesize thiamine and heme. Thiamine acted as a cofactor for NADH generation, while heme facilitated electron transfer. The cross-feeding of metabolites between the two bacteria promoted efficient biodegradation of sulfamethoxazole in the presence of nitrate.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
