Simple and traditional hydrothermal fabrication of a novel balsam pear-shaped CuO with high SERS enhancement is presented. XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electronic microscopy), TEM (transmission electron microscope), HRTEM (high-resolution transmission electron microscope), UV-Vis, and Raman are adopted to ensure that this balsam pear-shaped CuO with dense nanoparticle protuberance is successfully prepared. The LOD of this CuO SERS substrate is 4.79 μg L −1 with R6G as molecular probe. By using DFT (density functional theory) calculation and FDTD (finite difference time domainmethod) simulation, both EM (electromagnetic enhancement) and CM (chemical enhancement) mechanisms are investigated, and the results show that these two-enhancement mechanisms can coexist in this balsam pear-shaped CuO. Finally, the prepared substrate has been applied for the determination of trace levels of paraquat in solution , and results show that its LOD for paraquat is 275 μg L −1 (optimum Raman band: 1646 cm −1 Raman shift), which is better than the government standard in China. A dexterous and facile way for fabrication of CuO SERS-active substrates with low cost and high performance, quite promising in detection of chemically hazardous substances and pesticide residue is provided.

The electromagnetic enhancement (EM) mechanism is one of the important theories that need to be mastered to study surface-enhanced fluorescence (SEF) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). However, the charge transfer in the chemical enhancement (CM) mechanism has different effects on the two. The study developed a simple and environmentally friendly composite structural substrate by depositing silver (Ag) on the rough surface with regular columnar protuberances of bio-material cicada wings (CW) using magnetron sputtering technology. The formation of Ag nano-islands enhanced the fluorescence and Raman signals of rhodamine 6G (R6G), while the addition of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) quenched the fluorescence. To explore the magical phenomenon, the electromagnetic field distribution on the surface of the substrate was simulated through three-dimensional finite difference time domain (3D-FDTD), which verified the experimental results of SEF and SERS. The results calculated by Gaussian16 with Density Functional Theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) explained the effect of adding AgNPs on the surface of the substrate on the fluorescence intensity. The work not only contributes experimental data and theoretical results to the EM mechanism and CM mechanism in enhanced spectra, but also provides ideas for preparing new SEF and SERS substrates.

Polyzwitterionic gels possess a high density of ionic groups and present great potential in ionotronics. However, zwitterionic chains are easy to be highly hydrated, leading to weak interchain interactions and a poor mechanical performance. Although metal ions like Fe3+ show great effectiveness in toughening hydrogels, they usually weaken the zwitterionic gel inversely due to the anti-polyelectrolyte effect. Herein, a special co-ion effect of Fe(ClO4)3 is found, which is adopted to toughen the zwitterionic hydrogel. In contrast to the weak effect of Fe(NO3)3, FeBr3, and FeCl3 salts on gel toughness, Fe(ClO4)3 can toughen the imidazolium-based polyzwitterion (pVBIPS) effectively. The Fe(ClO4)3-treated pVBIPS gel exhibits a high ultimate tensile stress of 1.34 MPa, a Young’s modulus of 1.2 MPa, and tensile work of 2.29 MJ/m3, surpassing many existing pure zwitterionic hydrogels. It is found that the ClO4– ions can effectively bind to the imidazolium moiety of pVBIPS and promote the formation of SO3––Fe3+ interactions; the trivalent Fe3+ ions can then bridge multiple sulfonate groups to impart the strength. This work should offer a new strategy for developing tough zwitterionic hydrogels.

The efficient, stable, and selective photocatalytic conversion of nitric oxide (NO) into harmless products such as nitrate (NO3−) is greatly desired but remains an enormous challenge. In this work, a series of BiOI/SnO2heterojunctions (denoted asX%B-S, whereX% is the mass portion of BiOI compared with the mass of SnO2) were synthesized for the efficient transformation of NO into harmless NO3−. The best performance was achieved by the 30%B-S catalyst, whose NO removal efficiency was 96.3% and 47.2% higher than that of 15%B-S and 75%B-S, respectively. Moreover, 30%B-S also exhibited good stability and recyclability. This enhanced performance was mainly caused by the heterojunction structure, which facilitated charge transport and electron-hole separation. Under visible light irradiation, the electrons gathered in SnO2transformed O2to ·O2−and ·OH, while the holes generated in BiOI oxidized H2O to produce ·OH. The abundantly generated ·OH, ·O2−, and1O2species effectively converted NO to NO−and NO2−, thus promoting the oxidation of NO to NO3−. Overall, the heterojunction formation between p-type BiOI and n-type SnO2significantly reduced the recombination of photo-induced electron-hole pairs and promoted the photocatalytic activity. This work reveals the critical role of heterojunctions during photocatalytic degradation and provides some insight into NO removal.Keywords:NO removal;photocatalysis;BiOI/SnO2;heterojunction;enhanced mechanism

Mullite-corundum ceramics with various mullite crystal structures were prepared by incorporating Fe 2 O 3 into the ceramic powder. The impact of the Fe 2 O 3 content on the morphological evolution and formation mechanism of mullite crystals, as well as the thermal shock resistance and enhancement mechanism of the ceramic, were investigated. The results show that Fe 2 O 3 facilitates the formation of a low-viscosity liquid phase and enhances the dissolution-precipitation mass transfer rate at the liquid/solid interface, forming an iron-containing mullite solid solution, inducing lattice distortion, and accelerating the c-axis growth of mullite crystals. With increasing Fe 2 O 3 content, the mullite crystals changed from short columnar to elongated structures, and the grains were gradually interwoven with each other to form a network structure. The intergranular fracture mode of the sample was transformed into a mixed mode of transgranular and intergranular fractures. The maximum flexural strength was 83.60 MPa, with a retention rate of 94.65%, indicating improved strength and thermal shock stability.

In this work, a novel nanoparticle-enhanced wormlike micellar system (NEWMS) was proposed based on the typical wormlike micelles composed of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium salicylate (NaSal). In order to strengthen the structure of wormlike micelles, silica nanoparticles are used to design the novel nanoparticle-enhanced wormlike micelle. The stability and morphologies of silica nanoparticles were studied by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) at first. After the formation of NEWMS, the rheological properties were discussed in detail. The zero-shear viscosity of NEWMS increases with the addition of silica nanoparticles. Dynamic oscillatory measurements show the viscoelastic properties of NEWMS. Through comparison with the original wormlike micelles, the entanglement length and mesh size of NEWMS are nearly unchanged, while the contour length increases with the increase of silica concentration. These phenomena confirm the enhanced influence of silica nanoparticles on wormlike micelles. The formation mechanism of NEWMS, especially the interactions between wormlike micelles and nanoparticles, is proposed. This work can deepen the understanding of the novel NEWMS and widen their applications.

Lignin-containing cellulose nanopapers are emerging multifunctional materials in the fields of coatings, films, and packaging. However, the forming mechanism and properties of nanopapers with various lignin content have not been thoroughly studied. In this work, a mechanically strong nanopaper was fabricated based on lignin-containing cellulose micro- and nano-hybrid fibrils (LCNFs). The influence of lignin content and fibrils morphology on the formation process of nanopapers was investigated to understand the strengthening mechanism of nanopapers. LCNFs with high lignin content provided nanopapers with intertwined micro- and nano-hybrid fibrils layers with small layer spacing, while LCNFs with low lignin content offered nanopapers interlaced nanofibrils layers with large layer spacing. Although lignin was expected to interfere with hydrogen bonds between fibrils, the uniformly distributed lignin contributed to the stress transfer between fibrils. Due to the good coordination between microfibrils, nanofibrils and lignin (as network skeleton, filler and natural binder, respectively), the well-designed LCNFs nanopapers with lignin content of 14.5 % showed excellent mechanical properties, including tensile strength (183.8 MPa), Young's modulus (5.6 GPa) and elongation (9.2 %). This work deeply reveals the relationship between lignin content, morphology and strengthening mechanism of nanopapers, and providing theoretical guidance for employing LCNFs as structural and reinforcing materials to design robust composites.

The upconversion luminescence (UCL) of inorganic materials doped with activators and sensitizers has great application, but its luminescence intensity always impose restrictions on its development. Herein, an obvious enhancement in luminescence intensity of the WO 3 : Yb 3+ , Ho 3+ phosphor was realized through non-equivalence substitution of Bi 3+ ions. The single pure phase of the synthesized WO 3 : Yb 3+ , Ho 3+ , and Bi 3+ phosphors has been confirmed by the XRD pattern. The morphology of phosphors and valence state of elements have been performed by SEM and XPS techniques. The sample on excitation with 980 nm performs forceful green emission and weak red emission at 543 nm and 662 nm, separately. The concentrations for doped Yb 3+ and Ho 3+ to obtain the optimal UCL in WO 3 are 8% and 1%, respectively. The optimized doping concentration for Bi 3+ ions is 3%. Compared to samples without Bi 3+ ions, the Yb 3+ /Ho 3+ /Bi 3+ doped WO 3 obtains 1.59 and 2.33 times increase in emission intensity of green and red, respectively. We also explored the UCL mechanism and enhancement mechanism on the basis of the power dependency, the UCL and the downshift luminescence. These results based on Yb 3+ /Ho 3+ UCL phosphors research is of great significance.

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/cellulose nanofibril (CNF) based carbon nanofiber membranes were produced by electrospinning and carbonization method, in which the CNF amount was 1 wt%. In order to control the spinning process, the rheological properties of the PAN/CNF suspensions were measured before electrospinning. In addition, the effects of CNF particle size on the structure and properties of carbon nanofiber membranes were investigated systematically by SEM, FTIR and mechanical test. Meanwhile, the reaction mechanism of PAN and PAN/CNF nanofiber membranes in the process of stabilization and carbonization was also fully discussed. The results show that the addition of CNFs can improve the breaking strength and conductivity of PAN carbon nanofiber membrane. Moreover, CNFs also can accelerate the carbonization rate and reduce the reaction conditions of PAN nanofiber membranes. Therefore, CNFs are effective enhancers for PAN based carbon nanofiber membranes.

The co-doping effect of Zr 4+ ions on upconversion (UC) luminescent properties in visible region of Y 2 O 3 : Er 3+ and Y 2 O 3 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ sub-microcrystals prepared by urea precipitation method has been investigated under 980 nm excitation. Compared with the original Y 2 O 3 : Er 3+ and Y 2 O 3 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ sub-microcrystals, the UC luminescence of sub-microcrystals with similar size was enhanced after Zr 4+ ions co-doping. The UC luminescent properties have been discussed in detail via luminescence spectra, decay curve analysis and a suitable energy level diagram. The enhancement mechanism of UC luminescence in the two series of Zr 4+ ions doped sub-microcrystals was attributed to the complex crystal field around Er 3+ ions caused by Zr 4+ ions co-doping. After Zr 4+ ions substituted Y 3+ ions and entered the crystal lattice, the charge mismatch and lattice distortion made the crystal field more complex. This research contributes to the understanding of UC luminescent properties of lanthanide (Ln 3+ ) ions doped UC materials and their technological applications in fields such as bioimaging, drug delivery, and optical temperature sensors.

Enhancing upconversion luminescence in rare-earth materials through the plasmonic effects of precious metals has emerged as a highly effective strategy. In this study, we explore three distinct self-assembly techniques to fabricate alloy nano-film substrates using silver-coated gold (Au@Ag) core-shell nanoparticles, each with unique structural attributes. To enhance the upconversion luminescence of Er 3+ ions, we combine these substrates with NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nanoparticles, creating NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ /Au@Ag composite nanostructures. The upconversion emission of Er 3+ ions is observably boosted when directly combined with Au@Ag nano-films of various structures under a 980 nm laser excitation. Surprisingly, incorporating a NaYF 4 inert shell as an isolating layer results in a remarkable 13.7-fold enhancement of upconversion luminescence in the NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ @NaYF 4 /Au@Ag composite structure relative to isolated NaYF 4 : Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nanoparticles. The enhancement mechanism was carefully discussed based on spectral characteristics and luminous lifetime. It was found that the enhanced upconversion emission of nanoparticles on differently structured substrates is primarily driven by excitation enhancement. The composite rare-earth and metal nanoparticle structures fabricated in this investigation not only effectively enhance material spectral properties effectively but also streamline the process by employing an inert NaYF 4 shell as an isolation layer. This novel approach offers a promising avenue for developing efficient luminescent material systems.

A multi-scale “nunchaku-like” rigid-flexible-rigid structure was constructed on the CF surface using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and polyether amines (PEA) to improve the interfacial properties of carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polymer composites . The multi-scale rigid-flexible-rigid structure not only enhanced the chemical bonding, mechanical engagement and wettability , but also balanced the modulus of the fibers and resin to achieve best match for less stress concentration. As a consequence, IFSS , ILSS and TFBT strength increased by 73.4%, 65.4% and 137.0% compared to the original composites. In addition, the composites failure behavior and the interfacial strengthening mechanism were investigated in detail. This work proposed a novel and promising strategy for the preparation of high-performance CF composite from the perspective of interfacial structure design.
