As an improvement on imidazolium amino acid ionic liquids, three ionic liquids, 1-ethyl-4-butyl-1,2,4-triazolium acetylglycine [Taz(2,4)][Acgly], 1-ethyl-4-butyl-1,2,4-triazolium acetylalanine [Taz(2,4)][Acala], and 1-ethyl-4-butyl-1,2,4-triazolium acetylcysteine [Taz(2,4)][Accys], were first synthesized for future application as heat-transfer media. The density, surface tension, isobaric heat capacity, and thermal conductivity were measured in different experimental temperature ranges. Based on the above experimental data, the isobaric thermal expansibility and isentropic and isothermal compressibility, as well as the isochoric heat capacity and heat-storage density, were also calculated. Compared with several popular commercial heat-transfer fluids, it was found that the ionic liquids studied in this work have better performance in terms of heat-storage density of ∼2.38 MJ·cm–3·K–1 and thermal conductivity of ∼0.197 W·m–1·K–1. In addition, the viscosity was also determined, and the results showed an unexpected reduction by the introduction of a small amount of water for ionic liquids and almost no influence on other thermophysical properties. Finally, we selected a specific heat-transfer process and calculated the heat-transfer coefficient and the heat-transfer area based on the thermophysical properties. Meanwhile, the lower liquid temperature limit (∼229 K) and the nontoxic, environmentally friendly anion could provide a wider and safer environment for the application of ionic liquids. Given this, the ionic liquids studied in this work, especially the [Taz(2,4)][Acgly], could be considered as promising heat-transfer fluid candidates by appropriate adjustment of the water content.

A cellulosic material has been synthesized that could efficiently and selectively adsorb organic and inorganic contaminants from aqueous solutions without interference from competing adsorption sites. Cellulose-graft-tetraethylenepentamine molecular imprinted polymer (C-TEPA-MIP) was synthesized by using 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) as the template. The C-TEPA-MIP adsorbent could adsorb 4-NP and Cr(VI) simultaneously and selectively, without being affected by the competitive adsorption sites of each of these pollutants. The adsorption of 4-NP was predominantly due to the imprinted sites of 4-NP in C-TEPA-MIP that were located inside of the adsorbent, whereas that of Cr(VI) was primarily due to the amine groups of TEPA found on the surface of the adsorbent. Compared with the non-imprint polymer synthesized without the template, C-TEPA-MIP showed higher selectivity for both 4-NP and Cr(VI) in unitary and binary systems. In addition, C-TEPA-MIP exhibited good stability and recyclability for 4-NP, which makes it a promising candidate material for applications concerning wastewater treatment. Graphical abstract

Breast cancer has been the first killer among women. In this study, combretastatin A-4 (CA-4) loaded 5-amino acid peptide Ala-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly (APRPG) modified PEG-PDLLA mixed micelles was developed to target tumor neovasculature for breast cancer therapy. CA-4 is an effective vascular disrupting agent. The APRPG-modified PEG-PDLLA polymer was successfully synthesized and thin-film hydration method was used to prepare APRPG-PEG-PDLLA/MPEG-PDLLA mixed micelles. Drug loading capacity (DL), encapsulation efficiency (EE), and the optimized ratio of APRPG-PEG-PDLLA: MPEG-PDLLA for efficient drug loading was investigated. The particle size, zeta potential, morphology, and the crystallographic study were carried out to characterize the micelles. In vitro release study revealed a sustained release of CA-4 from the mixed micelles while compared to free CA-4. Moreover, the cytotoxicity data of blank and drug loaded mixed micelles suggested that the APRPG-PEG-PDLLA/MPEG-PDLLA mixed micelles were safe drug carriers and the encapsulated CA-4 remained potent antitumor effect. The cellular uptake study and the in vivo imaging and biodistribution study demonstrated that the APRPG peptide modified mixed micelles has the higher cellular uptake efficiency and could significantly facilitate the accumulation at tumor site. Furthermore, the micelles were slowly extravasated from blood vessels and inhibited embryonic angiogenesis in the transgenic zebrafish model. Consequently, the CA-4 loaded APRPG-PEG-PDLLA/MPEG-PDLLA mixed micelles group demonstrated a significant inhibition of tumor growth in 4T1 breast cancer model. In short, the CA-4 loaded APRPG-PEG-PDLLA/MPEG-PDLLA mixed micelles might have great potential for breast cancer therapy.

The removal of biocide 4-chloro-3-methyl phenol (CMP) was investigated by heterogeneous Fenton-like system using nanoparticulate zero-valent iron (nZVI) as catalyst. The properties of nZVI before and after reaction were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effects of pH value, initial concentration of CMP, nZVI dose and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) concentration were determined. The experimental results showed that lower pH value and CMP concentration brought faster degradation rate. With the initial pH value of 6.1 and initial CMP concentration of 0.7 mM, the optimal dosage of reagents were 0.5 g nZVI/L and 3.0 mM H 2 O 2 . At pH 6.1, the degradation of CMP followed two-stage first-order kinetic that composed of an induction period (first-stage) and a followed rapid degradation stage (second-stage). According to the effects of scavengers n -butanol and KI, hydroxyl radicals ( OH), especially the surface-bounded •OH, had a dominant role in the oxidation of CMP. The degradation intermediates, carboxylic acids and chloride ion produced during the reaction process were monitored by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and ion chromatography (IC). On the basis of these findings, the possible mechanistic steps of CMP degradation were proposed.

Degradation of 4-chloro-3,5-dimethylphenol (PCMX) by a heterogeneous Fenton-like process using nanoparticulate zero-valent iron (nZVI) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at pH 6.3 was investigated. Interactive effects of three factors—initial PCMX concentration, nZVI dosage, and H2O2 concentration—were investigated using the response surface method based on the Box–Behnken design. Experimental results showed that complete decomposition of PCMX and 65% of total organic carbon removal were observed after 30 min of reaction at neutral pH under recommended reaction conditions: nZVI, 1.0 g/L; H2O2, 18 mM; and initial PCMX concentration, 0.15 g/L. Based on the effects of scavengers n-butanol and KI, removal of PCMX was mainly attributed to the attack of •OH, especially the surface-bonded •OH. A possible degradation pathway of PCMX was proposed.

In this paper, a non-fullerene electron acceptor , SF(DPPFB) 4 , which owns a spirobifluorene core and four diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) arms end capped by 4-fluorobenzene, is designed and synthesized for solution-processable organic solar cells (OSCs). SF(DPPFB) 4 shows similar absorption bands as those of its non-fluorinated parent compound, SF(DPPB) 4 . However, the terminal fluorine atoms reduce the energy levels of SF(DPPFB) 4 , especially, its lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level decreases by 0.04 eV than that of SF(DPPB) 4 , which enlarges the energy offset between the electron donor and acceptor, favorable for the dissociation of excitons in OSCs. Moreover, the fluorination improves the electron mobility of SF(DPPFB) 4 . Thus, the OSCs with poly(3-hexylthiophene) as the electron donor and SF(DPPFB) 4 as the electron acceptor can provide a maximum power conversion efficiency of 4.42%, with a lifted short-circuit current ( J sc ) of 8.48 mA cm −2 .

Controllable morphological metal catalytic materials have always been a focus in research. In the previous work, hexapod AgCl was successfully synthesized. In this paper, hexapod Ag@AgCl microstructures with diverse Ag contents are prepared through NaBH4reduction. They are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the element distribution is proved by an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). They are porous dendritic microstructures with a large specific surface area and a rough surface, which display high catalytic performance and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) activity. Furthermore, the hexapod Ag@AgCl microstructure is devoted as a dual catalyst to monitor the reduction of 4-nitrothiophenol (4-NTP) to 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) in situ using SERS. Ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy was employed to evaluate the catalytic performance of the hexapod Ag@AgCl microstructures. The consequences show that the velocity of reaction became faster with a corresponding increase in silver content and the reaction mechanism was cleared. In addition to preparing a good catalyst, this work also promotes the combination of micro-nano materials and spectroscopy technology.Keywords:Ag@AgCl microstructure;in situ monitoring;surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy;4-nitrothiophenol reduction

Two new inorganic metal borate derivatives, Sr5TeO2(BO3)4 and NaSr5(BO3)(SiO4)2, have been obtained through a high temperature solid reaction method. Sr5TeO2(BO3)4 crystallizes in a tetragonal space group of P4/mnc featuring a three-dimensional (3D) structure composed of a porous 3D strontium framework stabilized by the unique zero-dimensional (0D) [TeO2(BO3)4]10− anions. NaSr5(BO3)(SiO4)2 crystallizes in a monoclinic space group of P21/c with a 3D structure consisting of a splendid strontium 3D framework strengthened by isolated BO3 and SiO4 groups. The sodium cations located in the empty space of the structure. Thermal stability analyses, optical property measurements and theoretical studies of the compounds were performed. Refractive index calculations revealed that the birefringence of Sr5TeO2(BO3)4 and NaSr5(BO3)(SiO4)2 is 0.048 and 0.029, respectively, at 1064 nm.

In addition to growing on p-cresol, Pseudomonas putida NCIMB 9866 is the only reported strain capable of aerobically growing on 2,4-xylenol, which is listed as a priority pollutant by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Several enzymes involved in the oxidation of the para-methyl group, as well as the corresponding genes, have previously been reported. The enzyme catalyzing oxidation of the catabolic intermediate 4-hydroxyisophthalate to the ring cleavage substrate protocatechuate was also purified from strain NCIMB 9866, but its genetic determinant is still unavailable. In this study, the gene hipH, encoding 4-hydroxyisophthalate hydroxylase, from strain NCIMB 9866 was cloned by transposon mutagenesis. Purified recombinant HipH-His6 was found to be a dimer protein with a molecular mass of approximately 110 kDa. HipH-His6 catalyzed the hydroxylation of 4-hydroxyisophthalate to protocatechuate with a specific activity of 1.54 U mg−1 and showed apparent Km values of 11.40 ± 3.05 μM for 4-hydroxyisophthalate with NADPH and 11.23 ± 2.43 μM with NADH and similar Km values for NADPH and NADH (64.31 ± 13.16 and 72.76 ± 12.06 μM, respectively). The identity of protocatechuate generated from 4-hydroxyisophthalate hydroxylation by HipH-His6 has also been confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Gene transcriptional analysis, gene knockout, and complementation indicated that hipH is essential for 2,4-xylenol catabolism but not for p-cresol catabolism in this strain. This fills a gap in our understanding of the gene that encodes a critical step in 2,4-xylenol catabolism and also provides another example of biochemical and genetic diversity of microbial catabolism of structurally similar compounds.

The gas permeability of packaging films significantly impacts the micro-environment and postharvest quality of fruits and vegetables. By regulating gas permeability to regulate the internal atmospheric composition of packaging, this method modulates the respiratory intensity and physiological metabolism of fruits and vegetables, thereby extending their postharvest shelf life. In this study, different proportions of Poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate- co -4-hydroxybutyrate) (P34HB) composite films were prepared using the melt blending method, aiming to optimize the packaging microenvironment by adjusting the gas permeability of the films. The results indicate that the oxygen transmission rate of the composite film at a PLA/P34HB ratio of 20:80 was measured at 628.65 ± 7.2 cm 3 ·m −2 ·24 h −1 ·0.1 MPa, which was 90.98 % higher than that of the PLA film. The Pearson heatmap further confirmed that the permeability of the composite film had a significant impact on the preservation effect of peaches, while the influence on mechanical properties was not significant. This finding was corroborated by preservation experiments using films of different compositions, which demonstrated that the PLA20:80P34HB composite film performed the best. Specifically, it effectively slowed the loss of free water, thereby maintaining moisture content, total soluble solids content, and weight, ultimately extending the shelf life by 66.67 %.

We on report an eco-friendly molecularly imprinted material based on carbon dots (C-dots) via a facile and efficient sol–gel polymerization for selective fluorescence detection of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). The amino-modified C-dots were firstly synthesized by a hydrothermal process using citric acid as the carbon source and poly(ethyleneimine) as the surface modifier, and then after a sol–gel molecular imprinting process, the molecularly imprinted fluorescence material was obtained. The material (MIP-C-dots) showed strong fluorescence from C-dots and high selectivity due to the presence of a molecular imprint. After the detection conditions were optimized, the relative fluorescence intensity (F 0 /F) of MIP-C-dots presented a good linearity with 4-NP concentrations in the linear range of 0.2 − 50 μ mol L -1 with a detection limit (3σ/k) of 0.06 μmol L -1 . In addition, the correlation coefficient was 0.9978 and the imprinting factor was 2.76. The method was applicable to the determination of trace 4-NP in Yangtze River water samples and good recoveries from 92.6–107.3 % were obtained. The present study provides a general strategy to fabricate materials based on C-dots with good fluorescence property for selective fluorescence detection of organic pollutants.

Manganese dioxide nanorods (Na0.4MnO2) with a typical 2 × 4 tunnel structure are successfully synthesized by the simple hydrothermal method in the presence of 5 M NaCl. The nanorods are about 30 nm in diameter. ZIBs (zinc-ion batteries) with Na0.4MnO2 display a specific capacity of 274.6 mA h g−1 at 0.2 A g−1 and have a high reversible capacity of 182.6 mA h g−1 after 1400 charge–discharge cycles at 1 A g−1 with a capacity retention of 96.5%. The unique morphology endows abundant electrochemical active sites and facile ion diffusion kinetics, which contributes to high specific capacity and stability. Both Zn2+ and H+ are inserted/extracted during the discharging/charging processes, and the crystalline structure and morphology of the nanorods do not change after repetitive cycling. The Na0.4MnO2 with the 2 × 4 tunnel structure is a promising candidate as the electrode material for ZIBs.
