The morphology of nanomaterials affects their properties and further their applications. Herein, CuO nanomaterials with different morphologies are synthesized, including CuO nanostrips, nanowires and microspheres . After their characterization by means of electron microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction, these CuO nanomaterials are further mixed with graphene nanoplates (GNP) to explore their performance towards electrochemical detection of glucose and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). Among three composites, the composite of CuO nanostrips and GNP exhibits the largest active surface area, the lowest charge transfer resistance, and the highest accumulation efficiency toward TBBPA. Meanwhile, this composite based non-enzymatic sensor shows superior performance for the glucose monitoring. Since these sensors for the monitoring of both glucose and TBBPA possesses long-term stability, high reproducibility, and wide linear ranges and low detection limits, this work provides a strategy to tune the sensing performance of nanomaterials by means of tailoring the morphologies of nanomaterials.

Supported metal nanoparticles with small size and high dispersion can improve the performance of heterogeneous catalysts. To prepare graphene-supported Pd catalysts, graphene and PdCl2were used as support and Pd precursors, respectively. Pd/G-P and Pd/G-H catalysts were prepared by cold plasma and conventional thermal reduction, respectively, for the catalytic reduction of p-nitrophenol (4-NP). The reaction followed quasi-first-order kinetics, and the apparent rate constant of Pd/G-P and Pd/G-H was 0.0111 and 0.0042 s−1, respectively. The graphene support was exfoliated by thermal reduction and cold plasma, which benefits the 4-NP adsorption. Pd/G-P presented a higher performance because cold plasma promoted the migration of Pd species to the support outer surface. The Pd/C atomic ratio for Pd/G-P and Pd/G-H was 0.014 and 0.010, respectively. In addition, the Pd nanoparticles in Pd/G-P were smaller than those in Pd/G-H, which was beneficial for the catalytic reduction. The Pd/G-P sample presented abundant oxygen-containing functional groups, which anchored the metal nanoparticles and enhanced the metal-support interaction. This was further confirmed by the shift in the binding energy to a high value for Pd3d in Pd/G-P. The cold plasma method operated under atmospheric pressure is effective for the preparation of Pd/G catalysts with enhanced catalytic activity for 4-NP reduction.Keywords:cold plasma;Pd;graphene;reduction of 4-NP;catalytic hydrogenation

A simple, efficient and environmentally-friendly pretreatment technique was proposed for determination of alkylphenols (4- tert -octylphenol, nonylphenol and octylphenol) in drink samples using high performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection. In this approach, the extractants in the form of (green) medium-chain fatty acids were generated in situ in the Pasteur pipette and extractant droplets dispersed by CO 2 generated by an effervescent reaction. A demulsifier was then used to break up the emulsion and induce phase separation, thus avoiding the need for a time-consuming centrifugation step. Finally, the floating extractant droplets were collected through solidification. Under optimal conditions, a good linearity was obtained in the concentration range from 0.1 μg/mL to 10 μg/mL, with determination coefficients ranging from 0.997 to 0.999. The extraction recoveries varied from 75.8% to 94.4% and the limits of quantification were in the range of 1.55–2.30 μg/L. The developed approach had good prospects in detection of alkylphenols in mineral water, tea drink, carbonated drink and Baijiu.

In this study, surface imprinting, magnetic separation, and fluorescent detection were integrated to develop a dual-recognition sensor (MF-MIPs), which was used for highly selective and sensitive detection of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in food samples. Silane-functionalized carbon dots (Si-CDs) participated in the imprinting process and were uniformly distributed into the MIPs layers. MF-MIPs sensor exhibited a high fluorescence response and selectivity based on the dual-recognition mechanism of imprinting recognition and fluorescence identification. The relative fluorescence intensity of MF-MIPs sensor presented a good linear relationship in the range of 0.08–10 μmol·L −1 with a low limit of detection (23.45 nmol·L 1 ) for 4NP. MF-MIPs sensor showed high anti-interference, as well as excellent stability and reusability. The 4-NP recovery from spiked food samples ranged from 93.20 to 102.15%, and the relative standard deviation was lower than 5.0%. Therefore, MF-MIPs sensor may be a promising method for 4-NP detection in food samples.

In this study, the impact of Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles (nFe 2 O 3 ) on microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and nonylphenol (NP) degradation in sediment were investigated. The results showed that the addition of nFe 2 O 3 lowered the degree of EPS overproduction and the amount of polysaccharides and proteins secreted in NP contaminated sediment. Particularly, the secretion of colloidal EPS (C-EPS) lowered significantly ( P < 0.05), and the content of tyrosine-like, tryptophan-like, and soluble microbial by-product-like substances in C-EPS also decreased, leading to a lower aromaticity, humification, and hydrophobicity of C-EPS. Furthermore, with lower C-EPS content in water, NP was adsorbed to sediment more easily, and the weakened toxic effect of NP to bacteria as well as a higher proportion of organic matter degrading microbes stimulated NP degradation. These findings revealed the vital role of nFe 2 O 3 in alleviating NP toxicity to microbes and reducing NP ecological risk in aquatic environments.

Exploring high-efficiency, robust and cost-effective catalysts for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) is greatly desirable. Herein, a series of transition-metal doped MoS 2 (M-MoS 2 , M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) with expanded interlayer spacing are fabricated by one-step solvothermal strategy. Notably, nickel doped molybdenum disulfide (Ni-MoS 2 ) is found to exhibit prominent catalytic activity with an apparent rate constant (K) of 1.09 min -1 and excellent stability over six continuous runs of recycling experiments. The results demonstrate that the expanded interlayer spacing (0.94 nm) can increase the active sites of reactant absorption, and Ni dopants can lower the energy level (d‐band center) to facilitate the desorption of H. Thus, the catalytic activity of Ni-MoS 2 is enhanced by synergistically structural and energy level modulation. This study offers an effective strategy to design transition metal sulfides with higher catalytic reactivity for the environment-related catalysis processes.

The intestinal epithelium is known as an important barrier to protect the body from harmful pathogens or toxic substance that may induce intestinal barrier injury. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of polysaccharide from the seeds of Plantago asiatica L. (PLP) on nonylphenol (NP) induced intestinal barrier injury in vitro . Caco-2 cells were pretreated with PLP, or co-cultured with PLP and NP simultaneously, and cytotoxicity, LDH leakage, transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER), FITC-dextran flux and tight junction (TJ) proteins were conducted to evaluate the intestinal barrier function. The results suggested that PLP pretreatment or co-culture with NP could significantly attenuated NP induced Caco-2 cytotoxicity, suppressed LDH release, restored the TEER value and paracellular permeability of Caco-2 monolayers, which were attributed to enhancing the TJ protein expressions. In addition, PLP co-cultured with NP possessed better protective effects against NP induced cytotoxicity. This study indicated that PLP assuaged NP induced intestinal barrier injury by increasing TJ, and threw light on the development of a dietary supplementation for preventing exogenous toxic substances induced intestinal barrier injury or improving intestinal TJ barrier function.

As the 3D printing technology is getting more and more popular and useful, demands for materials for 3D printing have increased significantly. Cyanate ester (CE) resin possesses the characteristics of high heat distortion temperature and high glass transition temperature, outstanding mechanical properties, low dielectric constant, and excellent water uptake. However, CE resin has not been widely used in 3D printing of UV curing because it is difficult for photopolymerizable groups to graft onto the chains of CE resin. On the other hand, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the homopolymer of the tris(2-hydroxyethyl)isocyanurate triacrylate (THEICTA) outclasses that of other acrylates. Although THEICTA is particularly advantageous to prepare a UV-curing prepolymer with high glass transition temperature, it also cannot be directly used for fabricating heat-resistant 3D-printed parts because it is solid and adding diluents will reduce the thermal stability of printed objects. This study is unique in producing 3D-printed materials, in which the THEICTA tactfully dissolves in low viscosity (about 100 mPa·s under 25 °C) bisphenol E cyanate (BECy) without sacrificing two kinds of bulk material properties. In the process of 3D printing, the carbon–carbon double bonds from THEICTA are cured by radical polymerization. Postprinting thermal treatment transforms three cyanate groups to a triazine ring structure. Additionally, the two kinds of structures are interpenetrating. The high-performance 3D-printing material has potential in fields ranging from space flight and aviation to the automotive and electronic industry.

Plant-based natural biotemplates are increasingly gaining popularity for the development of catalytic filters in water treatment owing to their unique features, such as exquisite microstructures, renewable properties, and environmental friendliness. However, the development of catalytic filters, not limited to plant-based filters, to achieve both super-high water flux and excellent treatment efficiency, particularly under gravity-driven conditions, remains challenging. Therefore, herein, an efficient gravity-driven catalytic filter was fabricated using a naturally three-dimensional (3D) porous rattan biotemplate for water treatment. After reducing Ag(NH3)2+ ions via an in situ process that did not involve the addition of reductants or stabilizers, Ag nanoparticles (NPs) were immobilized in the inner microchannel of the porous rattan cane. The intrinsically aligned microchannels in the vascular bundles of rattan (diameter 24–420 μm) acted as reaction compartments for the immobilization and stabilization of Ag NPs. Furthermore, the 3D Ag/rattan filter exhibited excellent gravity-driven catalytic activity (up to 97.2% treatment efficiency for a high water flux of 7471 L m−2 h−1), good recyclability, high water permeability, and stability toward 4-nitrophenol reductions. These excellent properties were attributed to the synergistic effect of the evenly distributed nanosized Ag catalysts and microchannel structures of rattan. Rattan materials are abundantly available and naturally porous, and they can readily serve as cost-effective, nontoxic, biodegradable, and sustainable sources in numerous catalytic applications.

A novel approach using magnetic Fe 3 O 4 @ porous activated carbon effervescent tablet-assisted deep eutectic solvent-based dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (META-DES-DLLME) combined with HPLC was developed for the measurement of phenolic endocrine disrupting chemicals (bisphenol A, p - tert -octylphenol, nonylphenol) in environmental water. In the proposed method, deep eutectic solvents synthesized by 1-dodecanol and hexyltrimethylammonium bromide were applied as extraction solvent. A magnetic effervescent tablet, containing a foaming agent and a new magnetic material, combined the dispersion of the extraction solvent and the magnetic recovery into one step. The influence of parameters, including the composition and volume of DESs, the type and amount of acid, the amount of sodium bicarbonate, the composition and amount of Fe 3 O 4 @ porous activated carbon, the pH, and the amount of sodium chloride, were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, accuracy and precision were demonstrated over the whole concentration range of 10–1000 μg L -1 . The extraction recovery ranged from 81.0 to 94.7% with a relative standard deviation of 1.2–6.7%, and the LOD and LOQ ranged from 0.82 to 1.7 μg L -1 and 2.7–5.5 μg L -1 , respectively. The method was successfully applied to extract and analyse the phenolic endocrine disrupting chemicals in environmental water.

A facile, cost-effective, and eco-friendly method was proposed to synthesize Fe3O4@tannic acid@Au nanocomposites (Fe3O4@TA@Au). First, Fe3O4 nanoparticles with diameters of 20 and 200 nm were synthesized by co-precipitation and solvothermal methods, respectively. Gold nanoparticles were deposited on magnetic Fe3O4 through tannic acid-metal-polymer intermediate-layer-mediated reductions. The catalytic activities of the as-prepared Fe3O4@TA@Au were investigated by spectroscopically monitoring the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and methylene blue (MB), which could be achieved within several minutes with an excess of NaBH4. The impact of the Fe3O4 size on the overall catalytic ability of the Fe3O4@TA@Au was systematically studied. The reaction rate constants of the Fe3O4-20 nm@TA@Au for 4-NP and MB reduction were 0.432 and 0.543 min–1, respectively. For the Fe3O4-200 nm@TA@Au nanocomposite, the optimized reaction rate constants for 4-NP and MB reduction were 3.09 and 0.441 min–1, respectively. Due to magnetic separation, the Fe3O4@TA@Au could be easily harvested and recycled. After five recycling cycles, the catalytic ability remained over 90%, and the recycling process could be completed in several minutes, highlighting its potential as a catalyst for 4-NP and MB removal.

The blue fluorescent nitrogen, phosphorus doped carbon dots ( Tg N,P-CDs) deriving from Thelephora ganbajun Zang were successfully obtained by hydrothermal method . Tg N,P-CDs possessed excellent fluorescence features and displayed strong blue fluorescence emission at 444 nm under 356 excitation with good water solubility. Tg N,P-CDs exhibited low biotoxicity and excellent biocompatibility by live/dead bacterial differentiation, cell imaging and onion epidermal staining. Furthermore, the nanoprobes showed high selectivity and sensitivity in detecting 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP) and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), and excellent linear range of 0–50 μM (R 2 = 0.9923) and 0–50 μM (R 2 = 0.9926) with low detection limits of 35.09 nM and 78.62 nM for 2,4-DNP and 4-NP, respectively. The Tg N,P-CDs was successfully applied to determine 4-NP and 2,4-DNP in real water and soil samples. It revealed that the inner filter effect quenching mechanism dominated in quenching of Tg N,P-CDs fluorescent by 2,4-DNP and 4-NP. It provides a new insight on the bioimaging application and environmental pollutant detection.
