In contrast to conventional NIR-I window excitation (808nm/980nm), FLI with NIR-II window excitation (1064nm/other wavelength beyond 1000nm) can afford deeper tissue penetration depth with high clarity due to the merits of suppressed photon scattering and diminished autofluorescence. In this review, we have summarized NIR-II window excitable/emissive organic/polymeric fluorophores recently developed. The characteristics of these fluorophores such as chemical structures and photophysical properties have also been critically discussed. Furthermore, the latest development of noninvasive in vivo FLI with NIR-II excitation was highlighted. The ideal imaging results emphasized the importance of NIR-II excitation of these fluorophores in enabling deep tissue penetration and high-resolution imaging. Finally, a perspective on the challenges and prospects of NIR-II excitable/emissive organic/polymeric fluorophores was also discussed. We expected this review will be served as a source of inspiration for researchers, stimulating the creation of novel NIR-II excitable fluorophores and fostering the development of bioimaging applications.展开更多

文摘The development of solar-driven interfacial evaporation technology is pivotal for addressing global water scarcity.However,it is hindered by the difficulty in synergizing high photothermal conversion with low water evaporation enthalpy into a single material.Herein,we propose an iron-aldehyde-cooperative dynamic covalent anchoring strategy,successfully constructing a covalently locked,hydroxymethyl-functionalized PEDOT-PVA integrated dual-network hydrogel(MEPH).This strategy employs Fe3+to achieve the one-step in situ oxidative polymerization of hydroxymethyl EDOT while concurrently forming a physical hybrid network with PVA,which is subsequently reinforced by covalent cross-linking using glutaraldehyde.This design endows the MEPH with exceptional broadband light absorption(>99%),efficient water transport,and regulated water state within the hydrogel matrix,leading to a reduced evaporation enthalpy of 732 J·g^(−1).The resulting evaporator achieves an ultrahigh evaporation rate of 4.95 kg·m^(−2)·h^(−1)under 1-sun illumination,corresponding to an energy conversion efficiency exceeding 95%,while maintaining stable,salt-resistant operation in high-salinity environments.Outdoor experiments validate its outstanding practicality for seawater and wastewater purification,with the produced freshwater significantly promoting plant growth,highlighting its great potential in sustainable agricultural water cycles.This iron-aldehyde-cooperative dynamic covalent anchoring strategy provides an innovative design paradigm for a new generation of high-performance and robust solar evaporators.

文摘The extraction of uranium from seawater via membrane adsorption is a promising strategy for ensuring a long-term supply of uranium and the sustainability of nuclear energy.However,this approach has been hindered by the longstanding challenge of identifying sustainable membrane materials.In response,we propose a prototypal hybridization strategy to design a novel series of aminated conjugated microporous polymer(CMPN)@collagen fiber membrane(COLM).These sustainable and low-cost membrane materials allow a rapid and high-affinity kinetic to capture 90%of the uranium in just 30 min from 50 ppm with a high selectivity of Kd>105 mL·g^(−1).They also afford a robustly reusable adsorption capacity as high as 345 mg·g^(−1)that could harvest 1.61 mg·g^(−1)of uranium in a short 7-day real marine engineering in Fujian Province,even though suffered from very low uranium concentration of 3.29μg·L^(−1)and tough influence of salts such as 10.77 g·L^(−1)of Na^(+),1.75μg·L^(−1)of VO_(3)^(−)etc.in the rough seas.The structural evidence from both experimental and theoretical studies confirmed the formation of favorable chelating motifs from the amino group on CMPN-COLM,and the intensification by the synergistic effect from the size-sieving action of CMPN and the capillary inflow effect of COLM.

文摘Conjugated microporous polymers(CMPs)are a unique class of organic porous materials characterized byπ-conjugated structures and permanent micropores,distinguishing them from non-porous polymers and conventionalπ-conjugated polymers.CMPs offer extensive versatility in synthetic approaches,enabling the synthesis of cross-linked and mesoporous structures.Advances in chemical processes,structural design,and synthesis methodologies have been developed,resulting in a diverse range of CMPs with unique configurations and properties,contributing to the fast expansion of the field.CMPs are particularly notable for their ability to enable the competitive utilization ofπ-conjugated structures within mesoporous configurations,making them valuable for investigations across various domains.They have shown considerable promise in addressing fuel and environmental challenges,demonstrated by their exceptional performance in applications such as vapor adsorption,heterogeneous catalysis,light emission,light harvesting,and energy generation.This review examines the chemical engineering principles underlying CMPs,including synthesis approaches,systemic research advancements,multifunctional investigations boundaries,potential applications,and progress in synthesis,dimensionality,and morphology studies.Specifically,it offers a comparative analysis of CMPs and linear polymeric materials,aiding in the development of functional polymers.Furthermore,this review explores the primary fundamental limitations of CMPs in fuel-related domains and discusses alternative strategies,including novel synthesis methods incorporating interactions and morphologies,to address these challenges.Ultimately,this assessment aims to provide a valuable and inspiring resource for professionals in the field of fuel management,guiding future research and development efforts.

文摘Pure organic room-temperature phosphorescent(RTP)polymers possess good processability and flexibility over small molecular crystals.However,most of RTP polymers reported so far are based on non-conjugated polymers,and achieving efficient phosphorescent emission in RTP conjugated polymers(CPs)remains a significant challenge.Herein,we developed two RTP CPs(P(PSe ZPh-p-Ph)and P(PSe ZPh-m-Ph))by linking the phenoselenazine units with the para-and meta-phenylene units,respectively,to form the conjugated main chains.The phenylene linker with different lingking mode manipulates the effictiveπ-conjugation of the polymer backbones.Comparing with the para-linked P(PSe ZPh-pPh),meta-linked P(PSe ZPh-m-Ph)exhibit the decreased effectiveπ-conjugation and the enhanced contribution of selenium atoms to the frontier orbitals,leading to the larger spin-orbit coupling(SOC)constants and the accelerated phosphorescence radiative decay process.The P(PSe ZPhm-Ph)achieves a phosphorescence quantum yield of 21.4%in doped polystyrene films,which is among the highest efficiencies reported to date for pure organic RTP CPs.These CPs are applied to construct phosphorescent film sensors for oxygen detection with the high quenching constants(K_(sv))up to 14.80 kPa^(-1)and low detection of limit of 0.84 ppm,demostrating the potential for application in oxygen film sensors.

文摘The scalable fabrication of stretchable conjugated polymer films via solution printing is essential for their practical application in largearea wearable electronics.However,the printed conjugated polymer films typically exhibit high crystallinity,limiting their mechanical deformability.Herein,we propose a plasticizer-assisted printing strategy to simultaneously enhance the stretchability and electrical performance of films based on the conjugated polymer poly(3-(5-(5-methylselenophen-2-yl)thiophen-2-yl)-6-(5-methylthiophen-2-yl)-2,5-bis(4-octyltetradecyl)-2,5-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione)(P(TDPP-Se)).The incorporation of a plasticizer trioctyl trimellitate(TOTM)promotes P(TDPP-Se)aggregation in initial solution,facilitates chain alignment under flow field,and shorten solidification process,thereby restricting randomly polymer crystallization.Consequently,a low-crystallinity film with favorable edge-on orientation,strong chain alignment and improved chain dynamics is realized,which effectively alleviates crystallites fragmentation and crack propagation under large strain.The TOTM-plasticized film exhibits approximately 2-fold improvements in fracture strain and charge mobility,along with superior mobility retention under 100%strain in comparison to the neat film.This study provides a feasible approach for microstructure control in printed stretchable conjugated polymer film.

文摘The development of synthetic hybrid biological systems integrating photosynthetic organisms with organic-abiotic functional materials holds significant promise for enhancing photosynthetic processes.The artificial regulation of the state transition between photosystem I(PSI)and photosystem II(PSII)represents a strategic and promising approach for improving the efficiency of natural photosynthesis.In this study,we demonstrate that poly(benzimidazolium-phenylthiophene)(CP4)featuring a flexible cationic backbone exhibits superior ultraviolet light-harvesting capability.The polymer CP4 enhanced PSI activity in Chlorella pyrenoidosa(C.pyrenoidosa),subsequently promoting PSII activity and augmenting overall photosynthetic performance.During light-dependent reactions,CP4 significantly accelerated photosynthetic electron transfer,resulting in a 330%increase in the production of oxygen and 93%and 96%increases in the ATP and NADPH contents,respectively.In the context of dark reactions,CP4 facilitated the conversion and utilization of light energy,leading to a 6%increase in both carbohydrate and protein contents.These findings indicate that synthetic light-harvesting polymer materials exhibit considerable application potential in the field of biomass production through enhancement of natural photosynthetic efficiency.

文摘The development of non-corrosive and efficient anode interlayers(AILs)is pivotal for advancing highperformance organic optoelectronic devices.Conventional materials such as PEDOT:PSS,though widely adopted,suffer from significant limitations including acidity,corrosion,and poor device stability.Herein,we propose a novel molecular design strategy by introducing p-πconjugation into a p Hneutral conjugated polyelectrolyte(CPE)(PIDT-T)to simultaneously enhance work function(WF)and electrical conductivity.Through doping with polyoxometalate(POM),the optimized PIDT-T:POM achieves a high WF of 4.85 e V,conductivity of 7.25×10^(-3)S cm^(-1),and>98%optical transmittance.In organic solar cells(OSCs),PIDT-T:POM delivers a power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 19.04%,outperforming PEDOT:PSS-based counterparts(18.52%)and representing one of the highest PCEs reported for devices utilizing non-acidic AILs.Moreover,organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs)incorporating PIDTT:POM exhibit a remarkable reduction in turn-on voltage(from 5.8 to 3.0 V)and enhanced luminous efficiency,demonstrating its dual functionality for both OSCs and OLEDs.These findings establish p-πconjugated polyelectrolytes as a powerful molecular platform for next-generation,high-efficiency,and corrosion-free organic optoelectronic applications.
文摘Objectives:B-cell maturation antigen(BCMA)-targeted antibody–drug conjugates(ADCs)have emerged as promising therapies for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma(RRMM),but the overall efficacy and safety profile is unclear.This study aimed to synthesize the available evidence on the safety and efficacy of BCMA-ADCs in development for RRMM.Methods:A systematic search was conducted using six bibliographic databases and ClinicalTrials.gov up to November 2024.Studies were eligible if they were human clinical trials or animal studies evaluating BCMA-ADCs and reported efficacy and safety outcomes.Data extraction and quality assessments were conducted using validated tools,including ROBINS-I and SYRCLE’s risk of bias tool.Results:A total of 21 studies were included:16 clinical trials and five animal studies.Key findings included that belantamab mafodotin demonstrated variable but generally durable response rates(32%–85%)and a broad range of progression-free survival(PFS)(2.8–36.6 months),albeit with ocular toxicities in 51%–96%.Among newer candidates,MEDI2228 showed median PFS 5.1–6.6 months with 14%discontinuation for ocular symptoms,while AMG 224 had an overall response rate(ORR)of 23%(9/40)with anemia 21%,thrombocytopenia 24%,and ocular adverse events(AEs)21%.Animal studies supported the tumor-eradicating potential of all BCMA-ADC candidates,although safety signals such as hepatic and renal toxicity were noted with HDP-101.The risk of bias assessment revealed generally moderate to serious concerns in human trials,while the overall quality of the animal studies was acceptable.Conclusions:BCMA-targeted ADC candidates show encouraging efficacy in RRMM,particularly belantamab mafodotin.However,frequent AEs,especially ocular and hematologic toxicities,underscore the need for optimization in ADC design.Further research should prioritize enhancing safety while maintaining clinical benefit.

文摘Molecular tailoring of self-assembled hole-transporting monolayers(SAMs)has been proven as an efficient approach for improving the device performance of inverted perovskite solar cells.Herein,a novel SAM with extended conjugation is designed and synthesized,named NaPh-4PACz.Compared to Ph-4PACz,NaPh-4PACz exhibits a larger adsorption energy with the ITO substrate,enabling the formation of a more uniform and dense film,thereby preventing direct contact between the perovskite and ITO.Additionally,NaPh-4PACz also has a stronger interaction with the perovskite,which can reduce buried interface defects and suppress non-radiative recombination.Consequently,NaPh-4PACz-based devices achieved a power conversion efficiency of 25.48%due to their interfacial“adhesive”ability.Importantly,the stability of the NaPh-4PACz-based devices was significantly improved.

文摘Formamidinium lead iodide(FAPbI_(3))perovskite exhibits an impressive X-ray absorption coefficient and a large carrier mobility-lifetime product(μτ),making it as a highly promising candidate for X-ray detection application.However,the presence of larger FA^(+)cation induces to an expansion of the Pb-I octahedral framework,which unfortunately affects both the stability and charge carrier mobility of the corresponding devices.To address this challenge,we develop a novel low-dimensional(HtrzT)PbI_(3) perovskite featuring a conjugated organic cation(1H-1,2,4-Triazole-3-thiol,HtrzT^(+))which matches well with theα-FAPbI_(3) lattices in two-dimensional plane.Benefiting from the matched lattice between(HtrzT)PbI_(3) andα-FAPbI_(3),the anchored lattice enhances the Pb-I bond strength and effectively mitigates the inherent tensile strain of theα-FAPbI_(3) crystal lattice.The X-ray detector based on(HtrzT)PbI_(3)(1.0)/FAPbI_(3) device achieves a remarkable sensitivity up to 1.83×10^(5)μC Gy_(air)^(−1) cm^(−2),along with a low detection limit of 27.6 nGy_(air) s^(−1),attributed to the release of residual stress,and the enhancement in carrier mobility-lifetime product.Furthermore,the detector exhibits outstanding stability under X-ray irradiation with tolerating doses equivalent to nearly 1.17×10^(6) chest imaging doses.

文摘The light-driven CO_(2)reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR)to CO is a very effective way to address global warming.To avoid competition with water photolysis,metal-free gas-solid CO_(2)RR catalysts should be investigated.Covalent organic frameworks(COFs)offer a promising approach for CO_(2)transformation but lack high efficiency and selectivity in the absence of metals.Here,we have incorporated a pyridine nitrogen component into the imine-COF conjugated structure(Tp Pym).This innovative system has set a record of producing a CO yield of 1565μmol g^(-1)within 6 h.The soft X-ray absorption fine structure measurement proves that Tp Pym has both better conjugation and electron cloud enrichment.The electronic structure distribution delays the charge-carrier recombination,as evidenced by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy.The energy band diagram and theoretical calculation show that the conduction-band potential of Tp Pym is lower and the reduction reaction of CO_(2)to CO is more likely to occur.

文摘π-Conjugated donor-acceptor-donor-acceptor-donor(D-A-D-A-D)type pyrenoviologens(PyV^(2+)),with the 2,7 positions of pyrene serving as connection bridges,were synthesized through SN2 reactions.Specifically,pyrenoviologen 3c was modified with a methylnaphthalene group,while 3a and 3b were modified with methyl and benzyl groups,respectively,for comparison.These pyrenoviologens exhibit reversible redox properties and strong fluorescence emission.Electrochromic devices(ECDs)were prepared using pyrenoviologens as the active materials.Notably,naphthalene-containing pyrenoviologen 3c,with its DA-D-A-D conjugated structure,possesses more stable free radicals,enabling it to maintain the radical color for a longer duration after power loss.A series of color-changing devices were successfully assembled.Due to the strong fluorescence of pyrenoviologens and the unique electron transfer effect between them and picric acid(PA),a sensor film with good selectivity and high sensitivity for PA in aqueous solution was prepared using pyrenoviologens as the fluorescent probe.Specifically,3c exhibited the highest sensitivity to PA due to its lowest energy gap.The introduction of the D-A-D-A-D structure is a strategic approach to enhancing photoelectric performance and broadening the application of viologens.

文摘The fluorescence imaging (FLI) in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000–1700nm) has attracted considerable attention in the past decade. In contrast to conventional NIR-I window excitation (808nm/980nm), FLI with NIR-II window excitation (1064nm/other wavelength beyond 1000nm) can afford deeper tissue penetration depth with high clarity due to the merits of suppressed photon scattering and diminished autofluorescence. In this review, we have summarized NIR-II window excitable/emissive organic/polymeric fluorophores recently developed. The characteristics of these fluorophores such as chemical structures and photophysical properties have also been critically discussed. Furthermore, the latest development of noninvasive in vivo FLI with NIR-II excitation was highlighted. The ideal imaging results emphasized the importance of NIR-II excitation of these fluorophores in enabling deep tissue penetration and high-resolution imaging. Finally, a perspective on the challenges and prospects of NIR-II excitable/emissive organic/polymeric fluorophores was also discussed. We expected this review will be served as a source of inspiration for researchers, stimulating the creation of novel NIR-II excitable fluorophores and fostering the development of bioimaging applications.
