Single-crystalline AgIn(MoO 4 ) 2 nanosheets have been successfully fabricated by facile hydrothermal method without any surfactants. Subsequently, Ag/AgBr-grafted AgIn(MoO 4 ) 2 nanosheets were synthesized by the in situ photoreduction of AgBr/AgIn(MoO 4 ) 2 composites prepared by a deposition–precipitation method. Under visible light irradiation. The Ag/AgBr/AgIn(MoO 4 ) 2 composites exhibit a strong absorbance in the visible region because of the surface plasmon resonance absorption of Ag nanocrystals. Compared with bare AgIn(MoO 4 ) 2 nanosheets, Ag/AgBr nanoparticles and Ag/AgIn(MoO 4 ) 2 composites, a dramatic enhancement in the degradation rate of tetracycline (TC) is observed over the Ag/AgBr/AgIn(MoO 4 ) 2 composites. The immense enhancement of the photocatalytic activity is attributed to the extended absorption in the visible-light region, effective charge separation, and synergistic enhancement induced by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in the heterostructured Ag/AgBr/AgIn(MoO 4 ) 2 . This study provides new insight into the fabrication of highly efficient and stable ternary metal molybdate based plasmonic photocatalysts and facilitates their practical application to solve environmental issues. The mechanism for the photodegradation of TC over Ag/AgBr/AgIn(MoO 4 ) 2 is discussed in detail.

A method has been developed for the determination of zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), and tin (Sn) in seawater by quadrupole inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (Q-ICP-MS). The method is based on separation of the seven elements by extraction chromatography using N-benzoyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine (BPHA) supported on a microporous acrylic ester polymeric resin. The optimized procedure indicates that the BPHA resin has high selective adsorption for Zr, Nb, Mo, Sn, Hf, Ta, and W (known as fluoride soluble elements), whereas other interference and matrix elements are minimally adsorbed. The optimized eluent mixture with their molarity gives satisfactory recoveries for all analytes. The recovery can be achieved 99% for Zr, 97% for Nb, 97% for Mo, 99% for Sn, 99% for Hf, 95% for Ta, and 98% for W, respectively, by eluting with 6 mL of 6 mol L − 1 HF/1 mol L − 1 HCl. Furthermore, the technique for separation and enrichment of these elements provides a low total method blank. The detection limits for this method are 0.5 ppt for Zr, 0.2 ppt for Nb, 1.7 ppt for Mo, 1.0 ppt for Sn, 0.1 ppt for Hf, 0.1 ppt for Ta, and 0.3 ppt for W, respectively. The validity of the method is evaluated by replicate analyses of seawater reference materials; the precision of the results is better than 3% (RSD, n = 4), and the results are in good agreement with certified values. The established procedure has proved to be both practical and effective for seawater sample analyses.

Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are becoming one of the promising alternative metal-ion battery systems to lithium-ion batteries due to the abundance and low cost of potassium . Among the anode materials for the metal-ion battery systems, phosphorus-based materials are attractive due to the low cost and their high theoretical-specific capacity. Herein, for the first time, we report the selenium -phosphorous-carbon (Se–P–C) amorphous composites prepared by the plasma-assisted ball milling method as the high-performance anode material for PIBs. In particular, when the amorphous Se–P composite anode with the molar ratio of 1:2 and the P-milling time of 30 h (Se–2P/C@30 h), the associated PIB delivers a high reversible capacity of 634 mA h g −1 at a current density of 0.05 A g −1 and excellent rate capability of 248.6 mA h g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 . Furthermore, the experimental characterization and analysis reveal the reaction mechanisms that K–P (K 2 P 3 ) and K–Se (KSe) phases are formed during the potassiation process. The present work provides a facile approach to achieve a promising anode material for K-ion batteries, and the preparation route can be viewed as a reference for the further development of phosphorous-based anodes with high capacity and long cycle life for PIBs.

In recent years, the excessive use of antibiotics has become a serious problem for human health. BiVO 4 regarded as one of the most promising visible-light-driven photocatalysts was used to degrade the antibiotics. In this paper, we fabricated Bi/BiVO 4 plasmonic photocatalysts which enhanced the photocatalytic activity of BiVO 4 for degradation of tetracycline (TC) antibiotic. The Bi/BiVO 4 photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy . In addition, the photocatalytic experiment results show that the 0.04-Bi/BiVO 4 sample has the best photocatalytic activity for 2 times than the pure BiVO 4 photocatalyst. The cycle experiments, after four repetitions of the experiments, showed the sample still maintained a high photocatalytic activity. Finally, the photocatalytic reaction mechanism was also studied by free radical capture experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy .

The waste silicon rubber composite insulator (WSiRC) was applied along with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and pentaerythritol (PER) to improve the flame retardancy of polypropylene (PP) in this study. Considering the compatibility among PP, WSiRC, and flame-retardant additives, WSiRC was treated by acid and N 2 plasma to obtain the plasma-treated WSiRC (PLSiR), which decreases the amount of the inorganic additive and grafts amino groups onto the surface of the silicon rubber. The infrared spectrocopy (IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) confirm that NH 2 groups have been grafted onto the surface of PLSiR. The TGA data also show that PLSiR had the char improving ability and promote the crosslink of APP, which results in its promotion for the flame retartancy of PP proved by the data of limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL94 rating and cone tests. It is also showed that PLSiR is superior than the WSiRC treated only by acid (ASiR) due to the differences in the structure and polarity. Moreover, the improvement of PLSiR on the flame retardancy of PP is dependent on its amounts. It is indicated that the 1 wt % loading of PLSiR in PP with APP and PER has the highest LOI value of 30.9 and reached UL94 rating V-0. The peak heat release rate (pHRR) and total heat release (THR) values are also decreased by 68.7 and 15%, respectively. SEM and Raman results show the condensed mechanism is ascribed to the PP/APP-PER/PLSiR system because the quality of char affect the flame retardancy of PP. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

The “far-field” surface plasmon resonance (FSPR) of metal nanoparticles, which have built a facile way to emission enhancement of red, green, blue, and white with nice reproducibility, has big potential application in solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). According to the theory of the “far-field” effect, the reflectivity of the metal surface and the phase shift at the reflection play an important role in enhancing ratio, which strongly relate to the size and shape of nanoparticles. In this work, gold nanospheres with different sizes and nanorods are synthesized in order to determine the size and shape effect of FSPR. The results demonstrate that the one with higher reflectivity in a certain range induces a better emission enhancement in the luminous efficiency and the maximum brightness. The nanoparticles with bigger sizes and shape of rods have higher reflectivity, which is consistent with the simulation based on FSPR effect. The phase shifts of different nanoparticles are optimized by the distance between gold nanoparticles and emitters. The metal NPs with a high reflectivity and the applicable phase shift will have big potential for the emission enhancement in OLEDs.

The present work describes the fabrication, characterization, and optimization of plasma polymerized pyrrole films, PPpy, prepared by continuous wave for application as the adhesion layers of bovine serum albumin (BSA). Plasma conditions used throughout the work produced significant differences in the chemical, physical, and electrochemical properties of the resultant PPpy films. Structural analysis and property characterizations of PPpy were carried out using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrochemical workstation. Surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy was used to investigate the adsorption kinetics of BSA onto PPpy films. Moreover, when immersed in solutions or after BSA adsorption, the differences of electron transfer at the interfaces between the PPpy and the electrolyte solutions were determined by electro impedance spectroscopy. While there is a clear dependence of the protein adsorption affinity on the plasma polymerization condition employed during the film preparation. The relationship between film structure, electrochemical properties, polymer stability in aqueous buffer, and protein binding affinities are discussed.

A simple and fast method of low-density solvent based dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (LDS-DLLME) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS) has been developed for the speciation analysis of organoarsenic and inorganic arsenic in water samples. The low-density solvent (octanol) was given as the organic phase and injected into the aqueous sample (donor phase) with methanol as the disperser. With As (V), As (III), p-APAA, 4-HPAA, ROX and PAA as target species, factors of LDS-DLLME including pH value, anionic carriers, elution conditions and extractant, were studied in detail. Besides, volumes of solvents were further optimised by response surface methodology. Under the optimal conditions, the limits of detection for four phenylarsenics and arsenate were in the range of 0.001–0.039 μg L−1. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 3.6–9.4% and the enrichment factors varied from 6.2 to 70.8. The proposed method of LDS-DLLME-HPLC-ICP-MS was satisfactorily applied to the determination of six arsenic compounds in water samples with recoveries of 81.8–111.7% for the spiked lake water samples.

Conformal and smooth TiO 2 thin layers were coated on the surface of porous PTFE membranes subjected to a plasma activation process by atomic layer deposition (ALD). In contrast, TiO 2 was deposited on the PTFE surface as globular particulates without plasma activation due to the inert chemical nature of PTFE surface. X-ray photoelectron spectrometry confirmed the formation of functional groups on the plasma-activated PTFE surface which served as active sites for the homogeneous adsorption and reaction of ALD precursors. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealed the uniformity of the deposited layer and the precise control of its thickness by changing ALD cycle numbers. The water contact angle measurement showed that the hydrophobic surface gradually turned to be near superhydrophilic with the increment of ALD numbers. Also, the membrane mean pore size was progressively reduced by simply altering the ALD numbers. At proper deposition conditions , the modified membranes gained an increase of pure water flux of more than 150% and simultaneously a doubled retention compared to the original unmodified membrane. This research provides an efficient approach devoid of any harsh treatments to modifying PTFE membranes for achieving specific functions, which also can be applied to other organic materials especially with chemical inert surface.

A water-processable blue fluorescent silver nanoparticle@graphene–polymer composite (Ag@G–pNIPAM) consisting of graphene coated with a thermally responsive poly-(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) shell is prepared. The pNIPAM shell swells or collapses as a function of temperature, serving as a means to trap silver nanoparticles in solution and get them sufficiently close to the graphene core to provide fluorescence enhancement based on the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect. The unique thermoresponsive properties and high enhancement ratio of the material should find application in solution fluorescence enhancers and a variety of biomedical applications, such as cellular uptake, sensing and imaging.
