Thermoelectric (TE) technology, which can convert scrap heat into electricity, has attracted considerable attention. However, broader applications of TE are hindered by lacking high-performance thermoelectric materials, which can be effectively progressed by regulating the carrier concentration. In this work, a series of PbSe(NaCl)x(x = 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5) samples were synthesized through the NaCl salt-assisted approach with Na+and Cl−doped into their lattice. Both theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that manipulating the carrier concentration by adjusting the content of NaCl is conducive to upgrading the electrical transport properties of the materials. The carrier concentration elevated from 2.71 × 1019cm−3to 4.16 × 1019cm−3, and the materials demonstrated a maximum power factor of 2.9 × 10−3W m−1K−2. Combined with an ultralow lattice thermal conductivity of 0.7 W m−1K−1, a high thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) with 1.26 at 690 K was attained in PbSe(NaCl)4.5. This study provides a guideline for chemical doping to improve the thermoelectric properties of PbSe further and promote its applications.Keywords:chemical doping;salt-assisted;NaCl doping;PbSe;thermoelectric material;thermoelectric performance

Social development is accompanied by technological progress, which commonly leads to the expansion of pollution As an essential resource of modern medical treatment, antibiotics have become a hot topic in the aspect of environmental pollution . In this study, we first used fish scales to synthesize N, P-codoped biochar catalyst (FS-BC) as peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and peroxydisulfate (PDS) activator to degrade tetracycline hydrochloride (TC). At the same time, peanut shell biochar (PS-BC) and coffee ground biochar (CG-BC) were prepared as reference materials. Among them, FS-BC exhibited the best catalytic performance due to the excellent defect structure (I D /I G = 1.225) and the synergism of N, P heteroatoms. PS-BC, FS-BC and CG-BC achieved degradation efficiencies of 86.26%, 99.71% and 84.41% for TC during PMS activation and 56.79%, 93.99% and 49.12% during PDS, respectively. In both FS-BC/PMS and FS-BC/PDS systems, non-free radical pathways involved singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ), surface-bound radicals mechanism and direct electron transfer mechanism. Structural defects, graphitic N and pyridinic N, P–C groups and positively charged sp 2 hybridized C adjacent to graphitic N were all critical active sites. FS-BC has the potential for practical applications and development because of its robust adaptation to pH and anions and stable re-usability. This study not only provides a reference for biochar selection, but also suggests a superior strategy for TC degradation in the environment.

In this work, the commonly-used peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activator (copper oxide nanoparticles , CuO NPs) was steadily loaded on a polydopamine (PDA)/polyethyleneimine (PEI)-modified non-woven fabric (NWF) membrane via the typical in-situ deposition method . Distinguished from the simple membrane catalysis separation, the as-prepared hybrid membrane (CuO@PDA/PEI-NWF) showed the better ability in oxidizing the high-toxic p-nitrophenol (4-NP) in feed while its permeate liquid backflowing constantly with the aid of a cross flow device. Within 60 min, even a small area of CuO@PDA/PEI-NWF (9.0 cm 2 ) with only ∼0.2 g weight could generate vast of reactive species ( 1 O 2 , SO 4 •‾ , and • OH) with trace PMS (1 mM) activation, and then reduced ∼40% of COD in a large volume (1 L) of 5 ppm 4-NP polluted water. The removal of 4-NP was further increased with more PMS added in the cyclic membrane catalysis system. The highest degradation rate could be achieved at pH close to the neutral state due to the better redox circle of Cu 2+ /Cu + in the system. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) revealed that the 4-NP structure was primarily destroyed by the addition reaction of radicals (SO 4 •‾ , and • OH), while its oxidation mineralization was caused by the formed 1 O 2, during the cyclic membrane catalysis system. Most importantly, this CuO@PEI/PDA-NWF/PMS cyclic system displayed excellent robustness and sustainability without tedious catalyst separation/regeneration processes in treating the 4-NP polluted real water. During 360 min of cyclic membrane catalysis, CuO@PEI/PDA-NWF caused the decrease of COD in Pearl River water with high concentration of 4-NP (20 ppm) up to ∼80%, indicating its high-efficiency and long-effectiveness. This study offers significant insights into developing novel cyclic membrane reactors with PMS activation for practically tricky wastewater treatment .

Polymer electrolytes are being considered as an effective solution for electrochemical devices to replace currently used organic liquid electrolytes due to their excellent mechanical properties and security. Herein, we prepared stretchable polymer electrolytes (SPEs) doped with poly[(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid)- co -poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate] (P(AMPS- co -PEGMA)) and enhanced with poly[(vinylidene fluoride)- co -hexafluoropropylene] (PVDF-HFP), through UV in situ polymerization. The SPEs showed good mechanical performance with an elongation of more than 40% and ionic conductivity reaching the order of 10 −3 S cm −1 . In terms of application, flexible electrochromic devices based on the UV in situ -prepared SPEs were assembled, the color switching performance being still good even after 400 switching cycles and 1000 bending cycles, which indicated that the SPEs could have excellent prospects in application for flexible devices. © 2023 Society of Industrial Chemistry.

Conjugated structure modification is an effective strategy for improving the photocatalytic activity of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ). Herein, we introduce p-π conjugated to g-C 3 N 4 by surface grafting of hydroxyl (-OH) groups through a facile hydrothermal process to improve the photo-carriers generation and separation. Experiments and DFT calculations indicate that the hydrothermal treatment decorated –OH groups onto the C sites of g-C 3 N 4 and formed p-π conjugated structure between the 2p orbitals of the O and the π orbitals of the tri-s-triazine unit. The extended p-π electrons delocalization of g-C 3 N 4 increases the concentration of the carriers, and the –OH groups serve as electrons transport channels facilitating the separation of the carriers. Consequently, –OH grafted g-C 3 N 4 with hydrothermal treated at 120 °C exhibits the highest and recyclable H 2 evolution rates of 2.3 mmol h −1 g −1 under simulated sunlight irradiation, which outperform pristine g-C 3 N 4 1.42 times. This work proposes a new mechanism of the p-π conjugate of –OH decorated g-C 3 N 4 for improving charge carriers formation and separation, and provides a mild strategy to engineer the other conjugated molecular structures.

Magnetic polymer microspheres have received a lot of attention owing to their high biocompatibility, superparamagnetism, and widespread use in protein purification, cell separation, medical diagnosis, targeted drug delivery, and environmental wastewater treatment. In this study, a facile method for preparing magnetic polymer microspheres was presented. First, hollow poly(divinylbenzene-co-methacrylic acid) (P(DVB-co-MAA)) microspheres were synthesized by one-step reflux-precipitation polymerization. Second, Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were precipitated in situ within the microsphere cavities. Magnetic Fe3O4@P(DVB-co-MAA) microspheres have a uniform particle size, good suspension stability, superparamagnetism, and abundant surface functional groups. The particle size of the microspheres as well as the modification of the surface functional groups can be controlled to meet the requirements for practical applications. Furthermore, the magnetic Fe3O4@P(DVB-co-MAA) microspheres show good protein separation capacity. Therefore, this method will have potential in the application of protein separation and purification.

Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) have emerged as the most potential non-precious metal catalysts thanks to their high abundance, low cost and superior catalytic activity. Although numerous efforts have been devoted to gain TMPs, most of the synthetic processes are dangerous and complex as the utilization of flammable and toxic phosphorus sources. By using a novel green phosphorus source-adenosine triphosphate (ATP), we synthesized various N, P doped carbon-sealed TMPs nanostructures (TMPs@NPC) via a facile and simple solid-phase method. Benefiting from the porous nanostructure and in situ derived heteroatom-doped carbon encapsulation, as-synthesized TMPs@NPC exhibit good bifunctional catalytic performance. Notably, the Co 2 P@NPC demonstrates the superior activity and durability toward HER and OER. The Co 2 P@NPC, meanwhile, displays robust overall water electrolysis performance. Therefore, our work presents a simple, ecofriendly, and general strategy for the synthesis of TMPs encapsulated with N, P-codoped carbon nanostructures, which are also expected to show a bright future in other electrochemical applications.

In this paper, an ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical sensor was developed for the detection of oxytetracycline , which was based on BaTiO 3 sensitized Cu 3 Mo 2 O 9 nano-composites with excellent visible-light photoelectrochemical activity. Cu 3 Mo 2 O 9 nanocrystals (NCs) with popsicle-like morphologies were synthesized through hydrothermal method and showed a very high photoelectrochemical signal. To achieve larger photocurrent density, nanostructured BaTiO 3 was then deposited on the surface of Cu 3 Mo 2 O 9 photocathodes, which led to 3-fold enhancement of the photocurrent as compared to pristine Cu 3 Mo 2 O 9 NCs. In order to obtain the specific response to oxytetracycline, oxytetracycline aptamer was fixed on the Au/BaTiO 3 /Cu 3 Mo 2 O 9 /FTO. Under visible light irradiation , the obtained aptamer/Au/BaTiO 3 /Cu 3 Mo 2 O 9 /FTO exhibited high sensitivity, good selectivity , outstanding reproducibility and low cost for detecting oxytetracycline. Furthermore, there was a linear relationship between detected signal and the oxytetracycline in the concentration range from 5 × 10 −10 to 10 −7 M, with a detection limit (3 S/N) of 4.6 × 10 −11 M under the optimal conditions. It is expected that this new photoelectric active material may have potential applications in biosensors, photocatalysis and other related fields.

P-selectin, mediated adhesion between endothelium and neutrophils, is a promising target for the therapeutics of acute inflammatory-related diseases. It is reported that brown algal fucoidans can antagonize P-selectin function. However, the fractionation and physicochemical characterization of Sargassum fusiforme fucoidan, and the screening of fucoidan fractions with P-selectin antagonistic capability have not been investigated. In this study, we isolated and fractionated systematically the S. fusiforme fucoidan by ion-exchange chromatography and size exclusion chromatography to obtain eight fucoidan fractions. Their physicochemical characterization was determined by chemical methods, HPLC and FT-IR. The inhibitory capacity of the fucoidan fractions in P-selectin-mediated leukocyte adhesion was evaluated by static adhesion assay and parallel-plate flow chamber. Results showed that fucoidan fractions possessed distinct physicochemical properties, including total carbohydrate, uronic acid and sulfate contents, molecular weight, and monosaccharide compositions. Among all the fucoidan fractions, SFF-32 and SFF-42 showed better blocking ability against P-selectin-mediated cell adhesion.

Being awfully harmful to the environment and human health, the sensitive and selective determination of p-dihydroxybenzene (p-DHB) in environmental water is of great significance. However, the similar structures and properties of p-DHB with catechol (CC; one p-DHB isomer) make the selective and reliable determination of p-DHB from CC in environmental waters being still a formidable challenge. In this manuscript, by preparing CC stabilized silicon quantum dots (C-SiQDs) via a simple hydrothermal process and using C-SiQDs simultaneously as a catalyst and fluorescence indicator, a novel nanosensing platform was successfully developed to selectively and sensitively detect p-DHB with double signals: fluorescence and colorimetric. For detecting p-DHB, C-SiQDs could catalyze the oxidation of p-DHB to form benzoquinone (BQ), an intermediate, which lead to the color change from pale yellow to dark brown and the efficient quenching the fluorescence of C-SiQDs. While for CC in samples, it could not contact C-SiQDs surface due to the great steric hindrance effect from CC on quantum dots surface, thus restricting the oxidation of CC and production of BQ, and leading that the obtained C-SiQDs have no response towards CC. Meanwhile, the developed nanosensor could also avoid various other possible interferences. Under optimized conditions, wide linear ranges (from 0.01 μM to 50.0 μM) and low detection limits (4.0 nM) were obtained for p-DHB. The simple and reliable C-SiQDs-based double signals proposal demonstrated to be potentially applicable for the highly selective and sensitive detection of trace p-DHB in various environmental water samples.

Core-shell structured BaTiO 3 @polyaniline (BT@PANI) nanoparticles were synthesized via surface hydroxylation and in-situ polymerization method and were embedded into Poly(vinylidene fluoride- co -hexafluoropropylene) [P(VDF-HFP)] matrix. The dielectric performance as well as thermal behavior of BT@PANI/P(VDF-HFP) nanocomposite films are investigated. The crystallinity increases with increasing the BT@PANI content. Compared with BT particles, the BT@PANI core-shell nanoparticles exhibit notable improvement on dielectric properties . Typically, with a filler content of 20 vol% BT@PANI, the dielectric constant of BT@PANI/P(VDF-HFP) composite film reaches 99.1 at 1 kHz, which is 6.2 times larger than that of 20 vol% BT (16.1) and 9.6 times larger than pristine P(VDF-HFP) (10.3). Enhanced permittivity is generated from the interfacial polarization and the microcapacitor effect provided by the core-shell nanoparticles. Moreover, nanocomposite film maintains a low dielectric loss of 0.21 at 1 kHz. This research offers a solution for fabricating dielectric composite with large dielectric constant and low dielectric loss, which could be beneficial for the improvement of advanced electronic devices.

A highly sensitive and selective detection of p-phenylenediamine (PPD) is achieved by a fluorescence sensor, which is constructed by encapsulating the hydrophobic fluorescent 1-pyrenecarboxaldehyde (Py-CHO) into a polymeric ionic liquid (PIL)-based amphiphilic block copolymer (BCP) micelle. The amine–aldehyde condensation reaction between PPD and Py-CHO leads to the fluorescence quenching of Py-CHO, giving rise to the basis for the quantitative detection of PPD. The core cavity of the micelle formed by the self-assembly of PIL provides an excellent hydrophobic environment for the accommodation of fluorescent Py-CHO, offering significant improved sensitivity and selectivity for PPD detection. The amount of PIL in fabricating the amphiphilic BCP micelle, the BCP-Py-CHO micelle concentration, and the detection pH condition are investigated to obtain the best performance of this sensor. The accurate detection of PPD is achieved in the range of 0.02–10 μmol L–1 under optimal conditions, and the detection limit is 0.007 μmol L–1 (3σ/s). The developed sensor is successfully applied to the determination of PPD contents in hair dyes, spiked water, and urine samples.
