Developing a facile method to fabricate new heterogeneous Metal-Organic Framework (MOFs) based catalysts with high catalytic activity and stability has drawn significant attention. Herein, we demonstrate a simple in-situ pyrolysis reduction strategy to fabricate a novel three-dimensional (3D) Cu-based catalyst, which displays an outstanding performance for the decomposition of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). Detailed characterization including SEM , FTIR, XPS , ICP-OES, HRTEM , SAED , XRD and BET confirmed the formation of the Cu/C porous composites (Cu/C-PC). Taking advantage of enormous Cu particles in the composite as well as ultrahigh surface area (196.7 m 2 /g) of carbon support, Cu/C-PC presents prominent catalytic activity for the hydrogenation reduction 4-NP to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) with apparent rate constant ( K app ) of 0.0267 s −1 (the ratio of K app to the catalyst amount is 119 s −1 g −1 ), which is dramatically higher than that previous reports. On the contrary, after being washed successively (Cu/C-PC-AW) by FeCl 3 , HCl aqueous solution and deionized water , the Cu/C porous composite materials exhibit fairly weak catalytic activity. The catalytic performance of Cu/C-PC is better than Cu, Cu 2 O and CuO nanoparticles as well as other catalysts in previous reports. Furthermore, Cu/C-PC shows excellent reusability, indicating its potential applications in treatment of water pollution.

A biosensor based on a combination of cytochromec(Cytc), electrochemical reduced graphene oxides (ERGO), and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was fabricated. The proposed biosensor electrode was denoted as GCE/ERGO-Nafion/AuNPs/Cytc/Nafion, where ERGO-Nafion was deposited by dropping graphene oxides-Nafion mixed droplet first and following electrochemical reduction, AuNPs were directly deposited on the surface of the ERGO-Nafion modified electrode by electrochemical reduction, and other components were deposited by the dropping-dry method. The effect of the deposition amount of AuNPs on direct electrochemistry of Cytcin the proposed electrode was investigated. The hydrogen peroxide was taken to evaluate the performance of the proposed biosensor. The results showed that the biosensor has great analytical performance, including a high sensitivity, a wide linear range, a low detection limit, and good stability, reproducibility, and reliability.Keywords:biosensor;cytochromec;graphene;gold nanoparticles;hydrogen peroxide;direct electrochemistry

Today, industrial ammonia synthesis mainly depends on the Haber–Bosch process, which causes a lot of energy consumption and huge CO2 emissions. The electrochemical N2 reduction reaction (NRR) is considered a more sustainable and environmentally benign alternative to produce ammonia, but it requires an efficient catalyst to overcome the difficulty of N2 activation. In this work, we reported that MOF-derived C@NiO@Ni microtubes behaved as a high-efficiency electrocatalyst in 0.1 M KOH electrolyte. This electrocatalyst achieved a high NH3 yield of 43.15 μg h−1 mgcat.−1 and faradaic efficiency of 10.9% at −0.7 V vs. a reversible hydrogen electrode. The experimental results indicated that the excellent NRR performance originated from the oxygen vacancies in NiO. Moreover, the abundant NiO/Ni interfaces were conducive to proton adsorption and further enhanced the NRR performance.

The porous flower-like Ni/C composites were simply prepared through the pyrolysis of Zn-doped metal organic frameworks (MOFs) under a N 2 atmosphere. The method is facile, controllable and without surface active agents. The microstructure, composition, and electromagnetic parameters can be easily controlled by varying thermal decomposition temperature to achieve the high electromagnetic loss. Interestingly, the Ni/C composites calcined at 800 °C have strong electromagnetic absorption with the maximum reflection loss (RL) value of −52.4 dB. In addition, the effective absorption band width (<−10 dB) of absorbing coating is as high as 5 GHz, and it is noteworthy that the composites have a very thin matching thickness of 1.6 mm. The excellent electromagnetic attenuation performance can be ascribed to the novel flower structures, synergistic effect between nickel and carbon, and remarkable impedance matching. This designed flower-like composites supply an impactful pathway to achieve potential candidate materials as highly effective microwave absorbers.

Porous nanododecahedron of Co 3 O 4 /C has been synthesized by calcination of the ZIF-67 in air at 400 °C and then be used as electrode material for fabricating a highly sensitive and low overpotential sensor of nitrite ion (NO 2 − ). The structure and morphology characterization show that ZIF-67 behaves as an ideal sacrificial template for preparing Co 3 O 4 /C with regular shape. The two components of Co 3 O 4 and carbon are uniformly distributed in the composite. Electrochemical analysis shows that the excellent electrocatalysis performance toward the oxidation of NO 2 − is based on the synergy of Co 3 O 4 and carbon in the nanocomposite. At NO 2 − concentration from 2 nM to 8 mM, a fast response time within 3 s is revealed and 1.21 nM of detection limit is achieved. The sensor is also reliable to analysis of NO 2 − existed in the real samples of soil leaching liquid and macrophage supernate.

Abstract A C/SiO 2 /SiC ternary aerogel was prepared from a formaldehyde–catechol/silicon source via the sol−gel method, supercritical drying, and high-temperature carbothermal reduction. The effects of different carbon/silicon molar ratios on the microstructure, chemical composition, and mechanical and shielding properties of the C/SiO 2 /SiC aerogels were investigated. The fabricated aerogels exhibited low density of 0.118–0.271 g/cm 3 , low thermal conductivity of 0.044 to 0.089 W/(m∙K) and a high specific surface area of 774 m 2 /g. The aerogel exhibited electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (SE) properties; the maximum SE value was 24 dB over 12.4–18.0 GHz with an absorption-dominant shielding characteristic. To improve the mechanical properties of the ternary aerogel, novel SiC w -C/SiO 2 /SiC aerogel composites were prepared by adding different contents of SiC whiskers into precursor solutions. The mechanism affecting thermal and mechanical properties of aerogel composites was investigated. This composite having high strength and low thermal conductivity had potential applications in space shuttles and reusable carrier thermal protection materials.

In this work, the V 2 O 3 nanoparticles (NPs) with ultrathin carbon shells were synthesized by a facile solvothermal process. The V 2 O 3 NPs were about 30 nm and contained a carbon shell of about 2 nm thick. The V 2 O 3 NPs were homogeneously dispersed and loosely packed. When used as anode material , the V 2 O 3 core-shell NPs showed a reversible capacity up to 525 mA h g −1 at 200 mA g −1 over 200 cycles with good cycle stability and rate capability. The excellent electrochemical performance promotes its practical application in lithium-ion batteries.

CNTs–C@TiO 2 composite with 3D networks as electrode has been synthesized for lithium ion batteries (LIBs)/sodium ion batteries (SIBs) by a traditional solvothermal process. The composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, field emission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The continuous 3D conductive networks, which consisted of acid-treated CNTs, provided numerous attachment sites for TiO 2 particles and carbon layers (similar to a shell) produced by the Ti 4+ -induced polymerization of ethylene glycol, thereby promoting electron and ion transfer. The composites contained 10.09 wt% CNTs (excellent conductor) and 12.75 wt% pyrolytic carbon. The Raman spectra confirmed the high degree of graphitization of the composites, and the improved conductivity resulted in outstanding electrochemical behavior. The electrochemical performance in the Li + /Na + storage of CNTs–C@TiO 2 composites was greatly enhanced, as revealed by this material’s outstanding capacity of 205 mA h g −1 at a current density of 0.1 A g −1 after 200 scanning cycles for LIBs and 148 mA h g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 over 100 cycles for SIBs.

Based on a condensation reaction, a chitosan-derivative-bearing amino pyridine group was prepared and subsequently followed by coordination with cupric ions, zinc ions and nickel ions to synthesize chitosan metal complexes. The calculations using the density functional theory (DFT) show that the copper ions and nickel ions underwent dsp 2 hybridization, the zinc ions underwent sp 3 hybridization, and they all formed a coordination bond with the carbon atom in the p-π conjugate group. The antifungal properties of O-CSPX-M against Phytophthora capsici (P. capsici) , Verticillium alboatrum (V. alboatrum) , Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea) and Rhizoctonia solani (R. solani) were also assayed. Apparently, chitosan metal complexes showed enhanced antifungal activity against four fungi at the tested concentrations compared to that of chitosan. It was shown that Cu complexes can inhibit the growth of P. capsici 100%, and Ni complexes can inhibit the growth of B. cinerea 77.1% at a concentration of 0.4 mg/mL and 0.2 mg/mL, respectively. The pot experiment also verified the result. In addition, the phytotoxicity experiment showed that O-CSPX-M had no obvious toxicity on wheat leaves. This kind of complexes may represent as an attractive direction for chemical modifications of metal fungicides.

Vitamin C (VC) and folic acid (FA) are the important nutrient and antioxidant in human body. In order to improve their stability, their co-loaded liposomes (VCFA-Lip) and chitosan-coated liposomes (CS-VCFA-Lip) are prepared and characterised. The mean particle size of VCFA-Lip and CS-VCFA-Lip is 138 nm and 249 nm, respectively. The encapsulation efficiencies of both drugs for CS-VCFA-Lip are much higher than those for VCFA-Lip. Furthermore, the experimental results show that the antioxidant activity of CS-VCFA-Lip is higher than that of VCFA-Lip. Moreover, the storage stability study reveals that the chitosan coating can efficiently improve the physical stability of VCFA-Lip. These results indicate that stability of VC and FA can be greatly improved after being wrapped by liposomes. In addition, the performance of CS-VCFA-Lip is better than VCFA-Lip, indicating CS-VCFA-Lip can be applied as a promising delivery system for the antioxidant defence system to the food industry and cosmetic industry.

The constructing of functional materials with well-defined nanostructure , showing efficient charge separation and transportation properties, has been intensively and in depth investigated to fabricate catalysts for H 2 generation from solar-driven water reduction. Here we demonstrate that loading W 2 C@C structure in which each W 2 C nanoparticle (NP) is wrapped by carbon shell on surface of hollow TiO 2 microspheres (HTMs) can enhance the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs by building an internal electric field in W 2 C@C/HTMs composite structure and act as the reaction active sites for water reduction. As expected, the optimized W 2 C@C/HTMs construction exhibits the highest photocatalytic H 2 generation rate of 6.91 mmol h −1 g −1 under simulated solar light illumination, over 20 times larger than that of bare HTMs. The underlying mechanism has been investigated from the perspective of photochemistry and photophysics based on a series of characterization techniques, which suggests that W 2 C@C can effectively steer the charge kinetics, maximizing the charge carriers’ separation.
