Graphical Weight problem : Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) films with various molecular weights are successfully prepared, and both their molecular structures and thermoelectric (TE) properties are investigated. The molecular weight of P3HT is found to have an important effect on the carrier-transport properties by affecting the molecular structure and, as a result, also has an effect on the TE performance. Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) films with various molecular weights (MWs) were successfully prepared, and both their molecular structures and thermoelectric (TE) properties were investigated. It was found that the molecular weight of P3HT had an important effect on the carrier-transport properties by affecting the molecular structure and, as a result, also had an effect on the TE performance. The electrical conductivity of the P3HT films first increased upon increasing the molecular weight and then decreased at high molecular weights, whereas the Seebeck coefficient remained at the same level. As a result, the P3HT-M 50k (MW≈50 000 g mol −1 ) film reached an electrical conductivity of (103.8±1.2) S cm, which is more than 20 times higher than the electrical conductivity of P3HT-M 10k (MW≈10 000 g mol −1 ) and almost 30 % higher than the electrical conductivity of P3HT-M 100k (MW≈100 000 g mol −1 ). Consequently, the maximum TE power factor of P3HT-M 50k at room temperature was as high as (22.6±0.6) μW mK −2 , which is much higher than that of either P3HT-M 10k or P3HT-M 100k . Microstructure analysis combined with C-AFM suggested that carrier transport between most of the ordered and amorphous regions was unconnected in films with low molecular weights, and this resulted in a high migration barrier and poor carrier mobility. Upon increasing the molecular weight, the long molecular chain provided enough connectivity for the charge to move through the ordered regions, which decreased the carrier barrier and increased carrier mobility. Therefore, both the conductivity and Seebeck coefficient were significantly improved. However, a too-high molecular weight could cause more folding of the polymer chain, which would deteriorate the electrical-transport properties. The experimental results not only reveal the intrinsic effect of molecular weight on the electric transporting properties of conducting polymers but also suggest that molecular-weight engineering is an effective way to design and screen high-performance polymer TE materials.

To reduce the dependence on traditional fossil energy, developing efficient energy storage systems is urgent. The reserves of aluminum resources in the earth’s crust are extremely rich, which makes aluminum-ion batteries a promising competitor of new energy storage devices. Here, we report a poly(3-methylthiophene)/graphene (P3TH/Graphene) composite as the cathode of an aluminum-ion battery. The adjustment of polymer chain spacing by the methyl side chain provides a channel conducive to the transport of large-size AlCl4– complexes. The addition of electron donor groups also changes the electron delocalization characteristics of polymers and improves the specific capacity of the material. At the same time, the in situ composite of graphene can enhance the Π–Π interaction to form a favorable electronic transmission channel. At a current density of 200 mA g–1, the P3TH/Graphene composite showed a specific capacity of ∼150 mA g–1. The flexible structure of the polymer also guarantees the excellent rate capability of the composite.

Sodium super-ionic conductor (NASICON) structured Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP), a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), benefits by its unique three-dimensional (3D) channel structure. However, the inherent characteristics of NVP (such as low electrical conductivity) usually lead to inferior rate and long-cycling performance, which miss the requirements of practical application in electrical energy storage systems (ESSs). Herein, we propose the synthesis of porous high-crystalline Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C nanoplates (NVP/C-P) via hydrothermal method and post-calcination. The porous nanoplate structure provides increased specific surface area and shortened diffusion pathway for ion/electron transport. Consequently, NVP/C-P cathodes exhibit a high specific capacity (117 mAh g −1 , 0.2 C), exceptional rate performance (76.5 mAh g −1 , 100 C) and long cyclic stability (10,000 cycles).

Nonspecific adsorption (NSA) seems to be an impregnable obstacle to the progress of the biomedical, diagnostic, microelectronic, and material fields. The reaction path of bioconjugation can alter the surface charge distribution on products and the interaction of bioconjugates, an ignored factor causing NSA. We monitored exacerbated NSA introduced by a 1-ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl) carbodiimide (EDC) addition reaction, which cannot be resistant to bovine serum albumin (BSA) or polyethylene glycol (PEG) antifouling coating and Tween-20. And the negative effects can be minimized by adding as low as 7.5 × 10–6 M N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide (sulfo-NHS). We applied ordered porous layer interferometry (OPLI) to sensitively evaluate the NSA that is difficult to measure on individual particles. Using the silica colloidal crystal (SCC) film with Fabry–Perot fringes as in situ and real-time monitoring for the NSA, we optimized the surface chemistry to yield a conjugate surface without variational charge distribution. In this work, we propose a novel approach from the perspective of the reaction pathway to minimize the NSA of solely EDC-induced chemistry.

A label-free electrochemical immunosensor for sensitive detection of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was developed using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized with horseradish peroxidase labeled immunoglobulins G (AuNPs-HRP-IgG) as signal amplification probe and rat monoclonal antibody against IAA as capture probe. AuNPs-HRP-IgG could be immobilized and through the interaction between 4-aminophenylboronic acid and a single N-glycosylation site, which exist in the CH2 domain of IgG. The electrochemical immunosensor was characterized by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in 0.1 M PBS (pH 7.4) containing Fe(CN) 6 3−/4− as redox probe. The decreased oxidation peak current of Fe(CN) 6 3−/4− was used to monitor the antibody–antigen interaction. The electrochemical immunosensor exhibited a linear range from 1 × 10 −9 to 5 × 10 −6 M with a limit of detection of 5.5 × 10 −10 M (S/N = 3). The proposed electrochemical immunosensor could well discriminate IAA from other phytohormones, such as gibberellin, abscisic acid and salicylic acid. In addition, IAA extracted from leaf of mung bean sprouts was detected using the developed immunosensor for evaluating its applicability, and the recovery was from 93.5% to 106.75%.

Anthocyanins are a group of natural water-soluble pigments in plants that contribute to the pink-purple color of a range of tissues. Because anthocyanins have various biological activities in human health, there is great research interest in the development of anthocyanin-rich foods and beverages, including purple shoot tea. Anthocyanidin 3- O -galactosides have been identified as one of the main anthocyanin components in purple shoot tea, but the enzyme responsible for their biosynthesis remains unclear. UDP-galactose anthocyanidin 3- O -galactosyltransferase (UA3GalT) is presumed to catalyze the galactosylation of anthocyanidin. Therefore, we assayed the UA3GalT activity in five tea samples with varying degrees of purple color and found that its activity was strongly positively correlated (r = 0.929, p < 0.05) with anthocyanin content. Phylogenetic analysis and sequence alignment suggested that CsUGT78A15 encoded a UA3GalT enzyme. Enzymatic assays indicated that r Cs UGT78A15 could catalyze the synthesis of cyanidin 3- O -galactoside and delphinidin 3- O -galactoside using UDP-galactose as a sugar donor, and it showed higher catalytic efficiency towards delphinidin than cyanidin. These results indicate that Cs UGT78A15 acts as a UA3GalT in vitro . Subcellular localization showed that Cs UGT78A15 was located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and nucleus, consistent with the location of anthocyanin synthesis. Transient overexpression of CsUGT78A15 in the fruit of mature ‘Granny Smith’ apples showed that the upregulation of CsUGT78A15 promoted cyanidin 3- O -galactoside accumulation in apple skins. These results suggested that Cs UGT78A15 could catalyze galactosylation of anthocyanidins in planta . Our findings provide insight into the biosynthesis of anthocyanins in tea plants .

3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) is a food-process toxic substance, and its main target organ is the kidney. The present study examined and characterized the nephrotoxicity and the lipidomic mechanisms in a model of kidney injury in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats treated with high (45 mg/kg) and low (30 mg/kg) doses of 3-MCPD. The results showed that the ingestion of 3-MCPD led to a dose-dependent increase in serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels and histological renal impairment. The oxidative stress indicators (MDA, GSH, T-AOC) in the rat kidney altered in a dose-dependent manner in 3-MCPD groups. The lipidomics analysis revealed that 3-MCPD caused kidney injury by interfering with glycerophospholipid metabolism and sphingolipid metabolism. In addition, 38 lipids were screened as potential biomarkers. This study not only revealed the mechanism of 3-MCPD renal toxicity from the perspective of lipidomics but also provided a new approach to the study of 3-MCPD nephrotoxicity.Keywords:3-MCPD;nephrotoxicity;lipidomics;biomarkers;pathway

This study investigated whether and how triacylglycerol (TAG) may serve as a precursor for 3-monochloro-1,2-propanediol (3-MCPD) fatty acid ester formation using tristearoylglycerol (TSG). TSG was reacted with inorganic chloride compounds including NaCl, KCl, FeCl2, CuCl2, ZnCl2, FeCl3 and dry HCl, or organic chlorine compound lindane at different temperatures. Only FeCl2 and FeCl3 were able to form 3-MCPD esters from TSG. Further electron spin resonance (ESR) determination of TSG, Fe2(SO4)3 and 5,5-dimethylpyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) reactions revealed potential of Fe ion in promoting free radical generations under the experimental conditions. To further confirm the effect of Fe ion, chelating agent (EDTA-2Na) was added to the model reactions. The results showed for the first time that EDTA-2Na was able to reduce the generation of 3-MCPD esters. In addition, FT-IR examination indicated a possible involvement of a carbonyl group during the reaction. Taking all the observations together, the possible mechanisms, involving the formation of either a cyclic acyloxonium or a glycidol ester radical intermediate, were proposed for generating 3-MCPD fatty acid di- and mono- esters from TAG under a high temperature and low moisture condition, as well as the coformation of glycidol esters. The results from this study may be useful for reducing the level of 3-MCPD esters and related toxicants in the refined edible oils and food products.

Catalytic hydration of acrolein to 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde (3-HPA) is a key step for the chemical production of 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) from renewable glycerol. However, a main issue of low reaction rate and long reaction time exists in the conventional hydration process. Here, we developed a microwave-assisted system for the efficient conversion of acrolein to 3-HPA. Simultaneous cooling method was adopted to maintain continuous microwave irradiation and meanwhile stable temperature during the reaction. The effects of catalyst type, temperature, catalyst loading and microwave power on acrolein conversion and 3-HPA selectivity were examined. Kinetic study showed that microwave irradiation could help for the reduction in activation energy, which led to acceleration in reaction rate during the acrolein hydration process. In addition, the density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the adsorption and reaction behavior of reactants molecules on the catalyst are consistent with the experimental results, which confirm the intensification effect of the microwave field.

Electroreduction of CO 2 for formic acid production has been regarded as an efficient option for CO 2 utilization. However, under high current, achieving high selectivity for formic acid is challenging, which cannot meet industrial demands. Herein, we reported a type of Bi/In(OH) 3 (BIO) heterojunction reconstructed from Bi 2 S 3 /In(OH) 3 during electrochemical process, in which In(OH) 3 was applied to modulate the electronic structure of Bi. This strategy efficiently enhanced the ∗OCHO intermediates adsorption and lead to a decent selectivity towards formic acid under high current density. BIO displays faraday efficiency of formic acid beyond 95 % across a wide range current density of 200–400 mA cm −2 , where the highest value reached 97.7 % at 400 mA cm −2 . This work clarified the mechanism of CO 2 electroreduction to HCOOH on heterojunction, guiding the design of advanced catalysts.

The precursor of Fe2(MoO4)3 has been synthesized by precipitation method, which is used to prepare high-capacity cathode material Fe2(MoO4)3/nanosilver composite for sodium-ion batteries. The silver modifying does not affect the monoclinic structure of Fe2(MoO4)3 but improves its kinetics in terms of discharge capacity and rate capability. AC impedance measurements show that the Ag modification decreases the charge transfer resistance of Fe2(MoO4)3/nanosilver composite cathodes. Electrochemical studies confirm that the Fe2(MoO4)3/nanosilver composite exhibits capacity of 90 mAhg−1, and retains 84.5 % of capacity even after 50 cycles.
