Concave microlens arrays with tunable curvature for enhanced photodegradation of organic pollutants in water: A non‐contact approach

EcoMat
Solar‐driven photodegradation for water treatment faces challenges such as low energy conversion rates, high maintenance costs, and over‐sensitivity to the environment. In this study, we develop reusable concave microlens arrays (MLAs) for more efficient

Dual‐Functional Polystyrene‐Based Borate Complexes: Recyclable Alkyl Radical Sources and Photodegradable Absorbents

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Dual‐functional polystyrene‐based polymers bearing 2,2′‐(pyridine‐2,6‐diyl)diphenol (PDP) moieties form photoexcitable alkyl borate complexes: (i) As recyclable radical sources, they enable Giese‐type additions with facile purification by reprecipitation and demonstrate proof‐of‐concept for polymer recovery (50% PDP regeneration).

Photoinduced ROS Production by Poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) is due to Autoxidation Rather Than Catalysis

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
P3HT is widely treated as a photocatalyst that generates ROS under light. We show otherwise: ROS production comes at the expense of the polymer itself. Photoexcited P3HT acts as a self‐sacrificial photosubstrate, undergoing irreversible autoxidation during light‐driven oxygen reduction—a distinction critical for interpreting its behavior in emerging ...

A Stable Isopterin Mimic of a Potent Bacterial Stimulant of T Cells

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A microbial metabolite covalently binds immunological protein MR1 to potently activate specific lymphocytes called MAIT cells, but it is too unstable for biological applications. Here, using synthesis, assays, protein crystallography, and computer modelling, we report a water‐stable analogue that activates reporter cells expressing the MAIT T cell ...

Oxygen‐Vacancy‐Engineered Ru–V Dual Sites in InVO4 for Synergistic Photocatalytic N2 Activation and Reactive Hydrogen Supply

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This study developed a catalyst composed of Ru nanoparticles directionally anchored at the oxygen vacancies of indium vanadate. Oxygen vacancy not only forms unsaturated V sites but also serves as an anchoring site for Ru nanoparticles, establishing a stable Ru‐V coordination structure through electronic metal–support interactions.
