In micro-injection molding, polymer/mold interface adhesion may cause severe deformation or damage of micro features on the molded products. To reduce the interface adhesion and improve the molding quality of polymer microfluidic chip, Ni-P-PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) ternary composite was adopted to electroform mold insert with self-lubricating properties. The influence of phosphorous acid concentration on the composition and performance of Ni-P-PTFE composites was systematically investigated. Our results demonstrated that the content of P and PTFE particles in the composites raised with an increase in phosphorous acid concentration. Elevated phosphorous acid concentration adversely affected the current efficiency and slowed down the deposition rate, allowing sufficient contact time for PTFE to transfer and adsorb onto the electrode surface. The hardness of the deposited nickel increased from 310 HV to 510 HV in the Ni-P-PTFE composites. Furthermore, the Ni-P-PTFE composites demonstrated excellent self-lubricating properties, showcasing friction coefficients of 0.15 and 0.25 during the initial and steady stages, respectively, representing a notable reduction of 66.7 % and 64.3 % compared to pure nickel. This study provides a novel approach to fabricate molds with self-lubricating properties, which contributes to the high-precision injection molding of polymer-based micro devices.

Multi-component synergy and controlled structural design can effectively tailor the electronic structure and multiply kinetic reactions, substantially enhancing the electrode material’s performance. Herein, a novel P-doped Ni 0.5 Cu 0.5 Co 2 O 4 with a 1D/2D hierarchical nanostructure is synthesized in situ. The hierarchical architecture significantly improves the exposure of active areas and facilitates the diffusion of electrolyte ions. Theoretical calculations reveal that the P-doping is instrumental in fine-tuning the electronic structure, enhancing conductivity, and increasing the adsorption energy of OH − . These theoretical insights were corroborated by electrochemical measurements. Remarkably, the optimized P-Ni 0.5 Cu 0.5 Co 2 O 4 exhibited an ultrahigh capacitance of 2872.1 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 , which is 1.58 times that of before phosphating (1810.6 F g −1 ). In addition, a hybrid supercapacitor based on 9-P-Ni 0.5 Cu 0.5 Co 2 O 4 was assembled, delivering an impressive energy density of 71.6 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 800 W kg −1 . Furthermore, the device demonstrated outstanding cyclic performance, maintaining 87.73 % of its initial capacitance even after 10,000 cycles. This study not only showcases the superior performance of P-Ni 0.5 Cu 0.5 Co 2 O 4 but also provides a promising strategy for developing high-energy storage material.

Although poly[bis(4-phenyl) (2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) amine] (PTAA) is a widely used hole transport layer (HTL) in perovskite solar cells, its poor conductivity and the mismatched energy levels between PTAA and formamidinium-based perovskites increase interfacial carrier recombination and charge-transport resistance. To solve these problems, inorganic CuS nanosheets were synthesized and applied as additives in PTAA for the first time. After the addition of CuS, the conductivity of the HTL improves, and the energy levels are better aligned. In addition, perovskite growth is controlled through the interaction between CuS and PbI 2 , thus improving the quality of the perovskite films, which reduces nonradiative recombination. The addition of CuS into PTAA improved the power conversion efficiency from 21.99 % to 22.92 %. Moreover, both the thermal and humidity stability improved.

The design and synthesis of efficient, inexpensive, and long-term stable heterostructured electrocatalysts with high-density dislocations for hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline media and seawater are still a great challenge. An amorphous/crystalline/amorphous sandwiched structure with abundant dislocations were synthesized through thermal phosphidation strategies. The dislocations play an important role in the hydrogen evolution reactions. Copious dislocation defects, combined with cracks, and the synergistic interfacial effect between crystalline phase and amorphous phase regulate the electronic structure of electrocatalyst, provide more active sites, and thus endow the electrocatalysts with excellent catalytic activity under alkaline water and seawater. The overpotentials of P–NiMoO4 at 10 mA/cm2 in 1 M KOH aqueous solution and seawater are 45 and 75 mV, respectively. Additionally, the P–NiMoO4 electrocatalyst exhibits long-term stability over 100 h. This study provides a simple approach for synthesizing amorphous/crystalline/amorphous sandwiched non-noble-metal electrocatalysts with abundant dislocations for hydrogen evolution reaction.

N-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine-quinone (6PPD-Q) has been identified as the cause of the “urban runoff mortality syndrome.” Thus, the ecological risks of substituted p-phenylenediamines (PPDs) and their quinone derivatives (PPD-Qs) in water have gained global attention. However, large-scale observation of their pollution characteristics in surface water is still lacking. Herein, a nationwide investigation revealed the pervasive occurrence of PPDs and PPD-Qs in riverine waters across China, with the mean concentration of ∑5PPD-Qs being 4.9 times higher than their parent ∑5PPDs. Notably, the 6PPD-Q concentrations at eight sampling sites exceeded the median lethal concentration for coho salmon. National annual riverine fluxes were estimated at 113.1 and 276.2 tonnes/year for PPDs and PPD-Qs, respectively, with the Yangtze River contributing more than one-third of the total fluxes. The transformation of PPDs to PPD-Qs was dependent on atmospheric hydroxylation rates and the half-lives of PPDs. A combined multimedia exposure assessment revealed that water exposure accounted for 82.5% of human exposure to PPDs and PPD-Qs, surpassing the contributions from dust and air exposure. This study provides a comprehensive spatial picture of PPDs and PPD-Qs in China. The national atlas highlights their potential ecological risks and implies that targeted actions should be taken to mitigate potential exposure to PPDs and PPD-Qs.

In this research, P-CDs were compounded based on Hedyotis Diffusa Willd by using a hydrothermal method of which the morphology, chemical composition, and optical properties were characterized. The P-doped CDs exhibited effective antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus . Strong electrostatic interactions between negatively charged bacteria and positively charged P-CDs, and the production of H 2 O 2 by P-CDs were thought to be responsible for bacterial death. Moreover, the P-CDs showed a remarkable fluorescent property with an excellent scope for detecting metal ion.

The development of cheap, efficient and stable hydrogen-producing catalysts is the current research focus, especially the catalysts that can work stably in the whole pH range. In this work, a myrica rubra-like structure of P–Co 1-x S/C was synthesized by hydrothermal reaction, sulfurization and phosphorization using spherical flower-like cobalt glycerate (CoG) as precursor. The design of this multilevel structure of P–Co 1-x S/C effectively increases the specific surface area. The doping phosphorus and the protection of carbon layer greatly improve catalytic performance and enhance the stability of Co 1-x S in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at full pH range. When the current density is 10 mA cm −2 , the HER overpotentials of P–Co 1-x S/C in acidic, alkaline and neutral solutions are 86, 93 and 167 mV, and respectively. The Tafel slopes of P–Co 1-x S/C in acidic, alkaline and neutral solutions are 82, 100 and 103 mV dec −1 , respectively. In addition, the electrocatalyst also displays excellent electrochemical long-term stability. After 2000 cycles or 20 h long-term testing, its catalytic activity remains stable without obvious decrease at full pH range.

tert-Butyl-p-benzoquinone (TBBQ), a metabolite of tert-butylhydroquinone from food, has cytotoxicity, the underlying mechanism of which is not clear. In this study, the viability of RAW 264.7 cells exposed to TBBQ at concentrations of 0.5–10 μg mL−1 was assayed by MTT. Results suggest that TBBQ decreased the viability in a dose-dependent manner. Monodansylcadaverine (MDC) staining results indicate the occurrence of autophagy induced by TBBQ, which was manifested by activation of LC3-II concurrent with the increased levels of Beclin1 and reduced levels of p62. Elevated lipid peroxide and decreased SOD activity by TBBQ exposure suggest the overproduction of ROS, which may account for the increase in the genotoxic stress protein p53. Both upregulation of p53 and reduction of Akt levels inhibited mTOR, which activated autophagy. Addition of 3-MA counteracted the impact of TBBQ on ATG proteins and cell viability. All of these results suggest that TBBQ induces autophagy of RAW 264.7 cells principally by inhibition of the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, and they implicate ROS in this regulation.

The widespread used organic arsenic pesticides and veterinary drugs have drawn attention for decades. Its photochemical transformation in the surface water contributes to its degradation and the formation of products. The effect of co-existent components like anthropogenic reagents (e.g. ethylenediaminetetraacetatic acid, EDTA) on the photochemical transformation has still to be investigated in depth. Fe(III)-EDTA complex is a common and abundant complex in surface water. In this work, UVA light and simulated sunlight have been used as light sources to explore the effect of Fe(III)-EDTA on the photodegradation of p -arsanilic acid (ASA), used as an organic arsenic feed additive. Whereas ASA hardly absorbs UVA light and can only be directly photolyzed by simulated sunlight, the Fe(III)-EDTA complex is photoactive under either light source. At pH 6, the presence of Fe(III)-EDTA complex enhances the photodegradation efficiency of ASA from 0% to ca. 23% after 180 min reaction under UVA light irradiation, and from 30% to ca. 58% after 45 min reaction under simulated sunlight irradiation. Appropriate amount of EDTA enhances the photodegradation efficiency, whereas excessive EDTA suppresses the initial reaction rate. Mechanistic study has revealed contributions from direct photolysis and photochemical reactions of Fe(III)-EDTA and Fe(III)–OH complexes. Generated •OH has been confirmed as the important contribution. Photodegradation products include inorganic arsenic, organic arsenic, and other organic by-products, and the proportions of these products vary in different light-induced systems due to the diverse reaction pathways. The results of this work improve our understanding of the risks of residual ASA in the environment, allow prediction of its migration and transformation, and show how organic arsenic livestock and poultry feed additives might be removed.

In this work, ultrathin lamellar g-C 3 N 4 /In 2 S 3 S-scheme heterojunctions doped with P were synthesized by urea recrystallization and investigated to see which ratio was more favorable for photocatalysis. The P doping formed a new Fermi energy level and reduced the forbidden bandwidth. The ultrathin lamellar structure facilitated rapid charge transfer, and the formation of S-scheme heterojunction, the presence of the interfacial electric field, and band bending effectively separated strong redox-capable electron-hole pairs, thus significantly improving the photocatalytic performance. Among the prepared materials, the 50UP-C 3 N 4 /In 2 S 3 photocatalyst with 50 % UP-C 3 N 4 mass fraction showed optimal photocatalytic H 2 production performance, with a hydrogen production rate of 12,387 μmol h −1 g −1 . Moreover, it showed good performance in photocatalytic degradation, with a degradation efficiency of up to 90.2 % of ofloxacin after 120 min of light exposure. This article provided a new perspective on the synthesis of other photocatalysts with carbazide-based S-scheme heterojunction structures.

To overcome the poor solubility and bioavailability of p -coumaric acid ( p -CA), an inclusion complex ( p -CA- β -CD) of p -CA and β -cyclodextrin ( β -CD) was prepared. FT-IR, XRD, DSC, and SEM were performed to characterize the p -CA- β -CD complex. Additionally, the antibacterial activity of p -CA- β -CD against Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris and the underlying mechanisms were investigated. The results confirmed the successful fabrication of p -CA- β -CD and demonstrated a significant enhancement in p -CA solubility upon complexation with β -CD. p -CA- β -CD effectively inhibited A. acidoterrestris , with an MIC of 1.4 mg/mL, by damaging cell membrane, reducing intracellular pH and ATP, increasing ROS levels, and altering cell morphology. Moreover, 1MIC of p -CA- β -CD caused 2.89 and 2.18 log reductions of A. acidoterrestris during apple juice storage at 4 °C and 25 °C, respectively, without remarkable effect on physicochemical indexes and sensory quality. These findings suggested that p -CA- β -CD could potentially be an emerging and promising natural agent for controlling A. acidoterrestris in juice.
