The Fe3O4@mSiO2 nanocarrier that consisted of a magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticle core and a mesoporous silica (mSiO2) shell was synthesized. It shows a uniform sphere morphology about 65 nm in diameter. Considering the magnetic hyperthermia of Fe3O4 under an alternating magnetic field (AMF), a thermo-sensitive polymer, poly[(ethylene glycol)-co-(L-lactide)] (P(EO-co-LLA)), was used as “gatekeeper” coating outside Fe3O4@mSiO2 to regulate the drug release behavior. The design of the nanocarrier was expected to block off the pores at low temperature and to reopen them at high temperature reversibly. The obtained hybrid nanocomposites were capable of loading the anti-cancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and controlled drug release behavior trigged by the hyperthermia of Fe3O4 under AMF. Besides, the nanocarriers also show pH-sensitive drug release based on the slight differences between the tumor (weakly acid) and the normal tissue (weakly alkaline). What's more, the chemotherapy of DOX combined with magnetic hyperthermia can improve the cytotoxicity obviously. On the basis of the high stability and excellent controlled release performance, the multifunctional nanocarriers exhibit potential applications in targeted-control drug release and hyperthermia for cancer treatment.

A pH-sensitive hydrogel [P(CE- co -DMAEMA- co -MEG)] was synthesized by the free-radical crosslinking polymerization of N,N -dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA), poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate(MPEG-Mac) and methoxyl poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(caprolactone)-methacryloyl methchloride (PCE-Mac). The effects of pH and monomer content on swelling property, swelling and deswelling kinetics of the hydrogels were examined and hydrogel microstructures were investigated by SEM. Sodium salicylate was chosen as a model drug and the controlled-release properties of hydrogels were pilot studied. The results indicated that the swelling ratios of the gels in stimulated gastric fluids (SGF, pH = 1.4) were higher than those in stimulated intestinal fluids (SIF, pH = 7.4), and followed a non-Fickian and a Fickian diffusion mechanism, respectively. In vitro release studies showed that its release rate depends on different swelling of the network as a function of the environmental pH and DMAEMA content. SEM micrographs showed homogenous pore structure of the hydrogel with open pores at pH 1.4. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2014 , 131 , 40737.

Doping nitrogen in TiO 2 crystals is a simple and effective approach to extend the absorption spectrum of TiO 2 to visible light range, but it leads to a serious decline in charge transfer and total loss of the catalytic ability for overall water splitting. Here, TiO 2 was co-doped with phosphorus and nitrogen by high temperature method and found the sample of P–N–TiO 2 -I could realize overall water splitting under visible light while the samples of P–N–TiO 2 -II, P–N–TiO 2 -III and N–TiO 2 cannot do it. The structures of the photocatalysts were described by various analytical techniques. Through XRD and HRTEM, lots of long-range defect such as twins and dislocations could be clearly observed for P–N–TiO 2 -II, P–N–TiO 2 -III and N–TiO 2 . But for P–N–TiO 2 -I, the long-range defect was decreased drastically. We proposed that because of various sizes and bonding modes of N, O, P and Ti, proper mole ratios of P to N replace Ti and O respectively can reduce the long-range defect, as that of P–N–TiO 2 -I. Furthermore, this co-doping effect results in a significant improvement in the separation of photo-excited electrons and holes and enables the nitrogen-doping TiO 2 to catalyze the overall splitting of water into molecular hydrogen and oxygen under visible light irradiation, in the absence of sacrificial agents. These observations might arouse new strategies to mend the hybrid-atom-doping-induced structural damage in semiconductor crystals and to modulate their functional properties.

In this paper, Pt-Ru/Ni-P/FTO has been designed and fabricated as the counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells. The Pt-Ru catalytic layer and Ni-P alloy sublayer are prepared by traditional electrodeposition method and a simple electroless plating method, respectively, and the preparation conditions have been optimized. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show that the Pt-Ru particles are evenly distributed on FTO and Ni-P/FTO substrate. By X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), it is confirmed that the Ni-P amorphous alloy has been formed, and no other compounds involved Ni and P have been formed. The electrochemical measurement results reveal that the Pt-Ru electrode has higher catalytic activity and stability towards tri-iodine reduction reaction than Pt electrode in the organic medium. The Ni-P sublayer deposited on FTO glasses increases the conductivity and light-reflection ability of the counter electrode, and this contributes to lowering the inner resistance of the cell and improving the light utilization efficiency. Through the photovoltaic test, it is confirmed that the energy conversion efficiency of a single DSSC with the optimized Pt-Ru/Ni-P/FTO counter electrode is increased by 29% compared with that of the cell based on the Pt/FTO counter electrode under the same conditions.

In this research, ultraviolet (UV) irradiation induced graft polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was performed to modify the surface properties of poly-p-phenyleneterephthamide (PPTA) fibers. The improvement of adhesion with a rubber matrix was achieved due to the introduction of epoxy groups. The successful grafting of GMA on the PPTA fiber surface was ascertained by characterization using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The tensile properties of PPTA fibers after each stage of surface modification were determined by tensile testing of single-filaments. A single-fiber pull-out test was applied to evaluate the adhesion of PPTA fibers with the rubber matrix. The pull-out force of grafted PPTA fibers exceeded that of the pristine fibers by 53.7%. Resorcinol–formaldehyde–latex (RFL) dipping was applied to further improve the adhesion properties. As a result, the fibers with GMA grafting followed by RFL dipping exhibited a 80.8% improvement compared with the pristine fibers and achieved much higher adhesion strength with rubber matrix, compared to the PPTA fibers modified with conventional industrial method of isocyanate (NCO) and RFL two bath dipping.

Although the perovskite solar cells (PSCs) based on organic hole transport materials (HTMs) have demonstrated excellent photovoltaic performance , there are still some obstacles that limiting their future commercialization , one of which is the device stability. Herein, we first report that depositing a (200) orientated PbS thin film upon organic HTMs as buffer layer can significantly enhance the stability and improve the performance of PSCs. The superior hole extraction efficiency of spiro-OMeTAD/PbS bilayer can balance the charge transfer and the hydrophobic nature of PbS could avoid the permeation of moisture. As a result, the PSCs with PbS buffer layer exhibited a better photovoltaic performance (a champion power conversion efficiency of 19.58%) with respect to the reference cells (18.79%), and maintained almost 100% of its initial PCE after 1000 h stored in ambient air. Furthermore, when suffer from some more severe conditions, the device with PbS retained 56% of its initial PCE after 96 h annealing at 85 °C, while only 25% for the reference cells. Our results provide a simple method to avoid the weakness of organic HTMs, and suggest that PbS thin film could be an alternative buffer layer material in PSCs to simultaneously improve the device stability and photovoltaic performance.

Herein, we report a photocatalytic heterojunction device of rutile TiO2 nanorod arrays based on a p–n silicon junction (TiO2@PN) and its full absorption of ultraviolet and visible light for synergistic photodegradation. The fabricated TiO2@PN had excellent photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) under irradiation of a 300 W Xe lamp, and its pseudo-first-order rate constant k was 0.221 h−1, which was greatly higher than that for TiO2 nanorod arrays based on an n–p silicon junction (TiO2@NP, 0.078 h−1) and glass (TiO2@G, 0.032 h−1). The higher photocatalytic performance of TiO2@PN could be attributed to the fact that the photovoltage (PV) of the p–n junction promotes separation of the electron–hole pairs of the TiO2, and the holes are thus left within the TiO2 nanorods to produce a strong oxidant of hydroxyl radicals (˙OH). Moreover, this heterojunction device could be easily fabricated in a large size for easy recovery and recycling, which shows its promise in the solar-driven degradation of environmental pollution.

The degradation of p -chloronitrobenzene ( p CNB) in different systems including ozone alone, ozone together with zero-valent zinc (Zn(0)) and Zn(0) bubbled with air instead of ozone was investigated. The results demonstrated that the degradation of p CNB by ozone alone was weak. However, the coexistence of Zn(0) and ozone exhibited a significantly synergistic role in p CNB degradation and approximately 98% of the initial p CNB (10 mg/L) was removed within 18 min. The degradation efficiency of p CNB was related to Zn(0) dosage and ozone flow amount, and the optimum conditions were 0.5 g/L and 4.8 mg/min, respectively. p CNB could be effectively degraded in the initial pH range of 4–10, but a higher or a lower pH was not beneficial to the removal of p CNB. Accompanying anions also affected p CNB degradation. Chloride and sulfate slightly improved p CNB degradation, whereas bicarbonate and phosphate markedly suppressed the degradation of p CNB. The reuse of Zn(0) (4 cycles) for p CNB ozonation indicated that the catalytic activity of Zn(0) maintained high and stable. The experiments of free radical scavengers ( tert -butyl alcohol and p -benzoquinone) corroborated the dominant active species responsible for p CNB degradation by a combination of ozone with Zn(0) was O 2 − rather than OH. Based on the results obtained in this study, it can be concluded that ozone activated by Zn(0) is an effective and promising approach to degrade organic contaminants.

Rapid and efficient detecting trace amount of environmental p -nitroaniline ( p -NA) is in urgent need for security concerns and pollution supervision. In this work we report the use of molecularly imprinted polymeric ionic liquid (MIPIL) microspheres to construct recognizable surfaces for detection of p -NA through fluorescence quenching . The p -NA imprinted microspheres are synthesized by precipitation polymerization upon co-polymerization of 3-(anthracen-9-ylmethyl)-1-vinyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride (Fluorescent IL monomer) with ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA). The electron-rich group alkenyl imidazole in IL functional monomer can dramatically improve the emission of anthracene fluorophore and the π-π stacking, electronic, and hydrogen bond between p -NA and MIPIL can efficiently enhance the selective recognition force. The as-synthesized MIPIL microspheres present spherical shape, high fluorescence emission intensity and specific recognition, which showed rapid detection rate (1 min), stable reusable property (at least 4 time recycles), wonderful selectivity over several structural analogs, wide linear range (10 nM to 10 M) with a correlation coefficient of 0.992, and excellent sensitivity (LOD, 9 nM). As synthesis and surface functionalization of MIPIL microspheres are well established, the methods reported in this work are facile, rapid and efficient for monitoring p -NA in environmental wastewater.

In the development of back electrodes for perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the major challenges are stability and cost. To address this, we present an innovative approach: Simultaneous evaporation of two independently controlled sources of metal materials was performed to achieve a uniform distribution of the alloy electrodes. In this study, Ag–Cu alloys (the molar ratio of Ag/Cu is 7/3) with a high-index crystal face (111) and a work function matching perovskite were prepared using a codeposition technique. These properties mitigate nonradiative carrier recombination at the interface and reduce the energy barrier for carrier migration. Consequently, compared to Ag based PSCs (22.77%), the implementation of Ag–Cu alloy (Ag/Cu is 7/3)-based PSCs resulted in a power conversion efficiency of 23.72%. In a 1500 h tracking test in ambient air, the Ag–Cu alloy (Ag/Cu is 7/3)-based PSCs maintained their initial efficiency of 86%. This can be attributed to almost no migration of elements from the Ag–Cu alloy electrode to the perovskite layer. Our work presents a vital strategy for improving the stability of PSCs and reducing the costs associated with the back electrode in PSCs.

The hydrogenation of vanillin stands as a pivotal platform reaction within biomass conversion processes, presenting a significant challenge in achieving controlled synthesis of different products. Here, we proffer different methodology for elaborately designing the electronic structure of Pt via regulating the strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) between Pt and Mo 2 TiC 2 , thereby facilitating the targeted synthesis of vanillyl alcohol (VA) and 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol (MMP) from vanillin. Appropriate H 2 reduction can enhance the SMSI between Pt and Mo 2 TiC 2 , promoting the electron transfer from Mo 2 TiC 2 to Pt, resulting in 200-Pt/Mo 2 TiC 2 with 68.1 of Pt 2+ . However, the SR-Pt/Mo 2 TiC 2 obtained through the galvanic replacement strategy possesses 64.7 % of Pt 4+ , which is attributed to the weaker spontaneous SMSI between Pt and Mo 2 TiC 2 . XPS adsorption experiments highlight the pivotal role of Pt 2+ in facilitating the desorption of VA, resulting in the 200-Pt/Mo 2 TiC 2 catalyst demonstrating exceptional selectivity towards VA (96 %). Meanwhile, SR-Pt/Mo 2 TiC 2 showcases a predilection for the direct hydrogenation and deoxygenation of vanillin into MMP. This research not only marks the application of the MXene system to biomass conversion but also illuminates the relationship between the electronic structure of Pt and its selectivity towards VA and MMP.

The self-driven flexible piezoelectric sensor has wide application prospects in areas such as health monitoring, human-machine interaction, and warning detection due to its advantages of non-toxicity and high sensitivity. In this study, a composite film of poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] doped with NaNbO 3 (NN) was prepared by electrospinning. The highly oriented NN particles promote the formation of P(VDF-TrFE) β phase, reaching a maximum β phase content of 91%. Under mechanical motion at a frequency of approximately 3 Hz, the piezoelectric nanogenerator (PENG) fabricated from the nanofiber membrane achieved a maximum piezoelectric output of 17.3 V and 12 V in the transverse and longitudinal piezoelectric responses, respectively. With an external load of 100 MΩ, the PENG obtained a maximum power density of 0.67 μW/cm². Additionally, the PENG sensor exhibited sensitivity to various human activities and demonstrated high sensitivity and rapid response in monitoring the status of the proposed door lock opening/closing, highlighting its enormous potential in security monitoring applications.
