Herein, in situ surfactant-free synthesis of ultrathin BiOCl/g-C 3 N 4 (BOC/CN) nanosheets for enhanced visible-light photodegradation of rhodamine B was described. The formation procedure, microstructural morphology, structure, optical properties , and photocatalytic activity were researched in detail. The results show that ultrathin BOC/CN heterojunctions nanosheets were successfully constructed via one-step surfactant-free solvothermal method by introducing CN into the synthesis system of BOC, and the thickness of BOC/CN nanosheets was ~3.5 nm. The ultrathin 2D/2D BOC/CN heterojunctions significantly enhanced the photodegradation of RhB dye under visible-light irradiation. The best-performing sample BOC/CN-60 had 3.9 and 12.8 times higher photocatalytic efficiency for visible-light RhB removal compared to pure BOC and CN, respectively. The large enhancement in the photodegradation activity should be attributed to the synergistic effect of BOC and CN in BOC/CN nanosheets. The synergism reflects in the widened optical window for effective light absorption , enlarged interfacial area for more efficient electron-hole separation, and a shorter diffusion distance for facilitated charge transfer. A possible visible-light RhB photodegradation mechanism was proposed, based on theoretical analysis and active species trapping experiments.

Rational design of high-efficiency and cost-effective nonprecious metal-based catalysts with outstanding oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance, is of great importance to replace platinum-based electrocatalysts in fuel cell. Herein, a novel N, B and Fe co-doped carbon materials (Fe-NBC) electrocatalyst is designed through the pyrolysis of a metal-organic coordination polymer precursor, which is formed from the coordination between dendrimer-like terpyridinic monomer and Fe 3+ . The as-prepared Fe-NBC catalyst exhibits superior ORR activity with an onset potential of 0.98 V and a half-wave potential of 0.86 V, which are comparable to that of the Pt/C catalyst. The formation of Fe-N x moieties is considered to be the most important factor for the improved ORR activity of Fe-NBC. Besides, Fe-NBC catalyst displays a better methanol tolerance as well as durability (5 mV negative shift of E 1/2 , after 1000 cycles) in comparison with Pt/C (12 mV negative shift of E 1/2 , after 1000 cycles). This work provides a facile protocol for the design and fabrication of multi-element co-doped carbon materials. Moreover, the excellent ORR performance of these N, B and Fe co-doped carbon materials may be a potential candidate to replace Pt-based catalyst in fuel cells.

A novel magnetic graphene oxide modified with Au nanoparticles (Fe3O4@CS/GO/Au) as an efficient adsorbent was prepared for the detection of rhodamine B (RB) coupled with fluorescence spectrophotometry. The as-prepared Fe3O4@CS/GO/Au was characterized by using a field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The main parameters, which affect extraction and desorption efficiencies, were systematically investigated and optimized. Under the optimal conditions, good linearities (0.1–6.0 μg L−1) with R2 = 0.9990, LODs (0.03 μg L−1) and LOQs (0.1 μg L−1) were achieved. Compared with chitosan-coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@CS) and graphene oxide-modified Fe3O4@CS (Fe3O4@CS/GO), Fe3O4@CS/GO/Au exhibited optimal extraction efficiency. To demonstrate the application potency of Fe3O4@CS/GO/Au, it was successfully applied to isolate and extract RB from tap water, waste water, soft drink and eye shadow and the spiked recoveries were between 94.51% and 101.24% with RSD values from 1.95% to 6.15%. It was confirmed this novel method was an efficient pretreatment and enrichment procedure and could be successfully applied for the extraction and determination of trace RB in complex matrices.

CoP/g-C 3 N 4 , a kind of noble-metal-free binary photocatalyst , has been demonstrated to be active for water splitting. However, high recombination rate of charge carriers is still one of the biggest factors to restrict the photoactivity of CoP/g-C 3 N 4 . In this paper, Boron doped g-C 3 N 4 nanodots (BCNDs) were introduced to CoP/g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets (CoP/CNNS) and a novel CoP/BCNDs/CNNS ternary photocatalyst was constructed. Experimental characterization and testing results indicate that BCNDs/CNNS heterojunction was formed in CoP/BCNDs/CNNS ternary photocatalyst. Comparing with CoP/g-C 3 N 4 , CoP/BCNDs/CNNS facilitates electron-hole separation, and the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate can reach 1332.81 μmolg −1 ·h −1 , which is approximately 9.7 times as high as CoP/CNNS. It owns an apparent quantum efficiency of 10.78% at 420 nm. This work would provide a novel strategy to construct high activity g-C 3 N 4 based catalyst without noble metals.

Poly(vinyl acetate- alt -dibutyl maleate)- block -poly(ethylene glycol) (PVDBM- b -PEG) copolymers were synthesized via reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer radical polymerization and used as emulsifiers to form stable CO 2 -in-water high internal phase emulsions (C/W HIPEs). Then, highly interconnected cellular polyacrylamide (PAM) and poly(acrylamide- co - N -hydroxymethyl acrylamide) [P(AM- co -HMAM)] poly-HIPEs with enhanced mechanical strength were prepared based on the stable C/W HIPEs. The porous structures of the PAM poly-HIPEs, as well as morphology and compressive modulus, could be influenced by the surfactant concentration and the length of the CO 2 -philic tails of the surfactants. PAM poly-HIPEs with the smallest average pore diameter (11.12 ± 0.62 μm) and the highest compressive modulus (22.65 ± 0.10 MPa) could be obtained by using the short CO 2 -philic chains of the PVDBM- b -PEG surfactant at a high concentration (1.0 wt %). Moreover, with the copolymerization of N -hydroxymethyl acrylamide (HMAM) comonomers with acrylamide, the compressive modulus of the obtained P(AM- co -HMAM) poly-HIPEs was three times higher than that of PAM poly-HIPEs. Both PAM and P(AM- co -HMAM) poly-HIPEs were employed as scaffolds to guide H9c2 cardiac muscle cellular growth. Fluorescence images showed that a smaller average pore size and a narrower pore-size distribution were helpful for cell growth and proliferation on these materials. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

Strip-shaped W 2 B 5 reinforced B 4 C ceramic composites were prepared via in situ reaction of boron(B)-graphite(Gr)-WC system by powder metallurgy (P/M). In order to study the effect of the graphite content on the properties of the as-fabricated ceramic composites, the powder mixture of B-Gr-WC with various amounts of Gr powder were blended and consolidated by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The sintering parameters were shown as following: sintering pressure was set as 30 MPa; The three-step sintering temperature was 1100-1550-1700°C and the duration time was set as 5-5-6 minutes, respectively. In situ formed strip-shaped W 2 B 5 particles were dispersed homogeneously in B 4 C matrix, which resulted in a remarkable improvement on the fracture toughness and mechanical properties. Appropriate 5vol% residual Gr in the composite shows positive effect on the mechanical properties which achieved an optimal counter-balance of fracture toughness and hardness, the relative density was 99.8%, the Vickers hardness can reach 30.2 GPa, and the fracture toughness was 11.9 MPa·m 1/2 when the sintering temperature was set at 1700°C.

The photocatalytic activity of thin film mainly depended on the morphology of thin film and lifetime of photo-generated charges. Here, we reported the effect of morphology adjusted through solvent vapor treatment (SVT) and different substrates on the photocatalytic activity of iron phthalocyanine (FePc) thin films. The FePc thin films on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass, copper (Cu), and quartz glass were prepared by vacuum evaporation, and their morphologies untreated and treated with solvent vapor such as benzene, petroleum ether, N,N -dimethylformamide for different time intervals; time intervals (0, 24, 36, 48, 72 h) were characterized by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffractometer. The effects of thickness and substrate on photocatalytic activity of the FePc thin film were characterized accordingly. SVT could effectively adjust morphology (nanorods and nanosheets) of the FePc thin film and improve its photocatalytic activity for Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation under visible light irradiation. In addition, the thickness (10, 20, and 50 nm) and substrate (ITO, Cu, Quartz glass) of the FePc thin film also affected its photocatalytic activity. The degradation rate of RhB with the optimized FePc thin film on ITO substrate was reached 70.0%. We proposed that the morphology treated by SVT could increase the active sites of the FePc thin film and further improve its photocatalytic activity. The thickness and substrate of the FePc thin film were also discussed.

Fluorescent eggshell membrane-templated gold nanoclusters (Au-ESM) can be obtained in a facile and low-cost manner in this study. The fluorescence of the Au-ESM may be significantly quenched by mercapto-compounds and peroxidase-like activity of Au-ESM could be regulated by the reaction process with glutathione . Moreover, the catalytic activity of the mimetic enzyme membrane could be modulated by immunoreactions. An immunoassay for colorimetric determination of staphylococcal enterotoxins B (SE-B) using colored gold nanoparticles was established based on the catalytic activity adjusted by the target molecules. This colorimetric assay can detect SE-B at the concentration range of 0.4–20 ng/mL and the limit of detection (LOD) is 0.12 ng/mL. As a practical application, the proposed colorimetric assay was further utilized to detect SE-B in food samples such as flour, corn and rice, requiring very low volume of sample and exhibiting great sensitivity and high accuracy, which provides promising platform for development of point-of-care diagnostic devices with biomedical and food safety applications.

In this work, a series of efficient visible-light-driven WO 3 /Cu (II) nanofiber photocatalysts, with superior photocatalytic activities for the degradation of dyes and aniline, were prepared by electrospinning and impregnation methods. The impregnation method brought about homogeneous distribution of Cu (II) species on the surface of WO 3 nanofibers. The prepared WO 3 /Cu (II) nanofiber photocatalysts exhibited enhanced visible-light absorption and reduced charge recombination, as compared to pure WO 3 nanofibers, due to the interfacial charge transfer (IFCT) effect between the Cu (II) species and WO 3 . The combined benefits of the grafting Cu (II) species on the surface of WO 3 , in terms of optical, surface, and texture properties, led to a significant improvement in the photocatalytic activity for the degradation of Rhodamine B (Rh B) and aniline under conditions of visible light irradiation. Upon the irradiation with visible light in the presence of WO 3 /Cu (II)-2% photocatalyst, the concentration of Rhodamine B (Rh B) decreased from 10 mg/L to 1.5 mg/L, and that of aniline solution decreased from 5 mg/L to 0.728 mg/L over a period of 3 h. And after running five cycles, the concentration of aniline solution could decrease from 5 mg/L to 0.89 mg/L by WO 3 /Cu (II)-2% photocatalyst.

Because of the serious harm to animals and the environment associated with perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a rapid, sensitive and low-cost method for detecting PFOS and PFOA is of great importance. In this paper, a novel sensing method has been proposed for the highly sensitive detection of PFOS and PFOA in environmental water samples based on the “turn-on” switch of erythrosine B (EB)-hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) system. In pH 8.55 Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer, EB can react with CTAB by electrostatic attraction, resulting in a strong fluorescence quenching of EB. With a subsequent addition of the CTAB, a red-shift occurred (11 nm), followed by a significant increase in fluorescence at high surfactant concentrations. It was found that PFOS and PFOA can obviously enhance fluorescence intensity of EB-CTAB system. The enhanced fluorescence intensity is proportional to the concentration of PFOS and PFOA in the range of 0.05–10 μM with detection limit of 12.8 nM and 11.8 nM (3σ), respectively. The presented assay has been successfully applied to sensing PFOS and PFOA in real water samples with RSD ≤ 4.3% and 2.9%, respectively.

Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) has attracted much attention for its wide applications in the fields of bioimaging, bioanalysis, etc. One of the critical problems in FRET is the construction of suitable donor–acceptor pair. The fluorescent quantum dots (QDs) can well meet the requirements both for a donor and an acceptor, owing to their tunable emission and broad absorption. Besides, the QDs possess high quantum yield, which highly benefits the FRET efficiency. In this work, glutathione-capped CdTe QDs (GSH-CdTe QDs) was chosen as the energy donor (D) and Rhodamine B (RhB) as the energy acceptor (A). However, no FRET occurred when there were only QDs and RhB, even though there was much overlap between the absorption spectrum of RhB and the emission spectrum of QDs. Interestingly, after the addition of a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), FRET was induced favorably. Further understanding of this phenomenon was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and zeta potential. The results indicated that QDs aggregated and were cross-linked by CTAB due to electrostatic interactions. Then, RhB was trapped in the aggregates. Therefore, QDs and RhB were pulled closer to a reasonable distance and FRET happened prosperously. Notably, thermodynamics in this process was well studied for an in-depth understanding. This work will render the better design of donor–acceptor pairs to overcome the long distances as well as the deep understanding of FRET with spreading applications.

A series of new coumarin-dithiocarbamate hybrids were designed and synthesized as multitarget agents for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Most of them showed potent and clearly selective inhibition towards AChE and MAO-B. Among these compounds, compound 8f demonstrated the most potent inhibition to AChE with IC 50 values of 0.0068 μM and 0.0089 μM for eeAChE and hAChE, respectively. Compound 8g was identified as the most potent inhibitor to hMAO-B, and it is also a good and balanced inhibitor to both hAChE and hMAO-B (0.114 µM for hAChE; 0.101 µM for hMAO-B). Kinetic and molecular modeling studies revealed that 8g was a dual binding site inhibitor for AChE and a competitive inhibitor for MAO-B. Further studies indicated that 8g could penetrate the BBB and exhibit no toxicity on SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. More importantly, 8g did not display any acute toxicity in mice at doses up to 2500 mg/kg and could reverse the cognitive dysfunction of scopolamine-induced AD mice. Overall, these results highlighted 8g as a potential multitarget agent for AD treatment and offered a starting point for design of new multitarget AChE/MAO-B inhibitors based on dithiocarbamate scaffold.
