Nitrogen sulfur co-doped bimetal nanocomposites (NS-BNs) are prepared through vulcanization and annealing using bimetallic Ni/Co-MOF as a precursor. The nitrogen sulfur co-doped bimetal nanocomposites have abundant electroactive sites and redox reaction centres, which exhibit remarkable electrochemical performance as electrode materials for supercapacitor . The specific capacitance could reach 1529 F g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 and excellent cycle stability (retention rate of 89.29% after 10000 cycles). After the current density is expanded ten times, the specific capacitance can still reach 1069 F g −1 , indicating superior rate performance. Furthermore, the assembled asymmetric supercapacitor displayed a high energy density of 41.04 Wh kg −1 at power density of 750 W kg −1 . As a result, non-metal doped nanocomposites material has promised applications for electrochemical supercapacitors.

The diamagnetic performance of GeS2-Ga2S3 and GeS2-Ga2S3-PbI2 chalcogenide glasses were investigated, and the composition, wavelength and temperature dependences of the Verdet constant were discussed in detail. It indicates that the contributions to the Verdet constant for each kind of ion are in the order of VPb>VGa>VGe in these chalcogenide glasses, and the Becquerel rule is proved to be an effective guidance for predicting the Verdet constant value. A large Verdet constant is obtained in 68GeS2·17Ga2S3·15PbI2 composition glass and the value is 0.230 min·G−1·cm−1 at 635nm, which is greatly larger than those of commercial diamagnetic glasses. Besides, the temperature coefficient of Verdet constant can be regarded as a constant between 278 and 368 K, indicating these chalcogenide glasses are good candidates for magneto-optical devices in temperature instability conditions.

The interconnected three-dimensional Ni–Co–S nanosheets were successfully deposited on ZnO nanorods by a one-step potentiostatic electrodeposition. The Ni–Co–S nanosheets provide a large electrode/electrolyte interfacial area which has adequate electroactive sites for redox reactions. Electrochemical characterization of the ZnO@Ni–Co–S core–shell nanorods presents high specifc capacitance (1302.5 F/g and 1085 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g and 20 A/g), excellent rate capabilities (83.3% retention at 20 A/g) and great cycling stability (65% retention after 5000 cycles at a current density of 30 A/g). The outstanding electrochemical performance of the as-prepared electrode material also can be ascribed to these reasons that the special structure improved electrical conductivity and allowed the fast diffusion of electrolyte ions.

Ternary copper-based chalcogenide nanomaterials have become rather attractive due to the near-infrared (NIR) response in cancer theranostic fields. However, it is still challenging to further improve the theranostic efficiency of these nanomaterials. Herein, Cu-Sb-S nanoparticles (NPs) around 24 nm are synthesized facilely and functionalized with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). Under the NIR irradiation, the resultant PVP-Cu-Sb-S NPs exhibit a relatively high photothermal conversion efficiency of 53.16% and a simultaneous reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation effect. Due to these outstanding photothermal/photodynamic effects, excellent tumor ablation results can be achieved by the combination of PVP-Cu-Sb-S NPs and 808 nm NIR laser treatments without obvious side effect. In addition, they show remarkable contrast enhancement according to in vitro and in vivo photoacoustic (PA) imaging. These PVP-Cu-Sb-S NPs could be served as a multifunctional nanotheranostic agent for PA imaging, photothermal/photodynamic cancer therapy. Statement of Significance Highly theranostic efficiency ternary copper-based chalcogenide nanomaterials has not been fully developed yet. Herein we report the PVP-Cu-Sb-S nanoparticles (NPs) with relatively high photothermal efficiency, simultaneous reactive oxygen species generation effect and photoacoustic imaging capability. The photothermal conversion efficiency of PVP-Cu-Sb-S NPs is higher than most of copper-based chalcogenide nanomaterials reported before. These findings provide a new kind of ternary copper-based chalcogenide with an enhanced theranostic effect, which could be served as a promising multifunctional nanotheranostic agent in the field of biomedical application.

Allicin can be used as fumigant to protect food and cultural relics from fungal contamination because of its strong antifungal activity and the characteristics of high volatility and no residues. However, the obvious disadvantages such as high minimal inhibitory concentration and instability prevent it from wide application. In this study, a stable derivative of allicin, S-ethyl ethanethiosulfinate (ALE), was synthesized. We further explored its antifungal activity and apoptosis-inducing effect, as well as the underlying mechanism. ALE had an excellent capability of inhibiting spore germination and mycelial growth of Penicillium chrysogenum observed by inverted microscope and scanning electron microscopy. XTT colorimetric assay indicated ALE could reduce the cell viability obviously and IC50 was 0.92 μg/ml, only 1/42 of allicin (38.68 μg/ml). DHR 123 ROS Assay Kit, flow cytometry assay and confocal immunofluorescence revealed intercellular ROS generation and metacaspase-dependent apoptosis triggered by ALE, while antioxidant tocopherol could reverse ALE-induced cytotoxicity effect and metacaspase activation. These results indicate that ALE induces metacaspase-dependent apoptosis through ROS generation, thus possesses an effective antifungal activity. This new derivative of allicin might be developed as a high efficient alternative to the conventional fungicides for food storage and cultural relic protection.

Li-ion batteries have held a dominant position in the energy storage area for decades. However, due to the limitation of its chemistry , the energy density of Li-ion batteries is limited to ∼300 W h kg −1 . In recent years, more attention has been paid to the Li-S batteries that are environmentally friendly, cost-effective and high energy density (theoretical value of cathode: ∼2600 W h kg −1 ). In this study, carbonized polydopamine (C-PDA)-coated hollow carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with TiO 2 nanoparticles interspersed in the void space between the CNF skeleton and carbon coating layer were subtly designed. The C-PDA/TiO 2 /CNF composite (CTC) was integrated with the commercial separator as a polysulfide filter to achieve high-performance Li-S batteries. It is reveals that the CTC coating layer could effectively filter and reactivate the dissolved polysulfides to achieve a stabilized sulfur-based cathode. The Li-S battery assembled by this integrated separator and the regular cathode (sulfur/Ketjen black) with 72.7 wt% of sulfur achieved a high specific capacity and low decay rate (632.5 mAh g −1 at the first cycle and 0.06% per cycle) at 2.0C for 500 cycles. These good results indicate that the C-PDA/TiO 2 /CNF-modified separator could be a promising separator candidate for high performance Li-S batteries.

Acetoin is an important platform chemical with a variety of applications in foods, cosmetics, chemical synthesis, and especially in the asymmetric synthesis of optically active pharmaceuticals. It is also a useful breath biomarker for early lung cancer diagnosis. In order to enhance production of optical (S)-acetoin and facilitate this building block for a series of chiral pharmaceuticals derivatives, we have developed a systematic approach using in situ-NADH regeneration systems and promising diacetyl reductase. Under optimal conditions, we have obtained 52.9 g L−1 of (S)-acetoin with an enantiomeric purity of 99.5% and a productivity of 6.2 g (L h)−1. The results reported in this study demonstrated that the production of (S)-acetoin could be effectively improved through the engineering of cofactor regeneration with promising diacetyl reductase. The systematic approach developed in this study could also be applied to synthesize other optically active α-hydroxy ketones, which may provide valuable benefits for the study of drug development.

A series of poly(aryl ether sulfone) copolymers containing quaternary ammonium moieties were obtained by polymerization of methylated copolymers, followed by bromination and derivatization with quaternary-ammonium groups. The copolymer membranes exhibited excellent thermal stability and mechanical properties . Symmetric supercapacitor single cells based on activated carbon and quaternary ammonium functionalized poly(aryl ether sulfone) membranes were fabricated into a three-layer structure: activated carbon electrode//quaternary ammonium functionalized poly(aryl ether sulfone) separator//activated carbon electrode and characterized by cyclic voltammetry , galvanostatic charge–discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in 6 M KOH aqueous solution. The coulombic efficiency of the supercapacitor was as high as 95% over 5000 cycles. The effect of different degree of quaternization of PAES copolymer separators on thermal and mechanical properties of separators and performance of the symmetric supercapacitor single cells were investigated.

We reported temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) studies on Cu–Zn–In–S quantum dot (QD) thin films. In this paper, cadmium-free and luminescent Cu–Zn–In–S quantum dot thin films were in situ formed by thermal decomposition of molecular-based precursors in the open air, without need of the complicated quantum dot synthesis. Molecular-based precursor solutions were prepared by dissolving Cu2O, ZnO, and In(OH)3 in the ethanol solution of butylamine and carbon disulfide. The effects of sintering temperature, sintering time, and the concentration of capping agents on the photoluminescence properties of Cu–Zn–In–S QD thin films have been systematically investigated. It was found that alkali metal ions play an important role in enhancing the PL quantum yield of quantum dot thin films. The as-prepared QD thin films show composition-tunable emission in the range of 535 nm to 677 nm, and the absolute PL quantum yields can reach as high as 22.1%. All of the as-deposited QD thin films show a single-exponential decay to temperature, indicating that these cadmium-free QD thin films have high potential as temperature probes.

A series of novel copoly(aryl ether sulfone)s with polydimethyl (PDMS) and double-decker-shaped silsesquioxane (DDSQ) in the main chain were synthesized by nucleophilic substitution polymerization approach. Dihydroxy terminated eugenosiloxanes (2OH-PDMS-n) and 3,13-di(2-methoxy-4-propylphenol)octaphenyl DDSQ (2OH-DDSQ) were synthesized. These two difunctional oligomers were used to copolymerize with 4-fluorophenyl sulfone to obtain poly(aryl ether sulfone) containing cage and linear organosiloxane (Si-PES) through one-step high-temperature solution method. Si-PES with multiple PDMS and DDSQ contents in the main chains were obtained by adjusting the molecular weight of 2OH-PDMS-n and controlling the molar ratio of 2OH-DDSQ to 2OH-PDMS-n. The dielectric constants sharply decreased as organosiloxane was introduced compared with traditional PES which the lowest value was achieved at 5% DDSQSi–PES (2.36 at 1 MHz). In addition, enhanced hydrophobic capacity peaks were obtained at 50% DDSQSi-PES surface hydrophobicity (113°) as the synergies of both linear organosiloxane and DDSQ. Furthermore, thermal and crystallization behaviors , as well as surface properties, were investigated.

A series of cardo poly(ether ketone imide)s (PEKI-C) containing large-volume bulky phthalide groups were prepared by aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction of commercially available phenolphthalein and 4,4′-bis(4-fluorophthalimido)diphenyl ether/4,4′-difluorobenzophenone. The glass transition temperatures ( T g s) increased from 221 to 278 °C with increasing the content of 4,4′-bis(4-fluorophthalimido)diphenyl ether moiety in the copolymerization . The 5% weight loss temperatures ( T 5% ) of PEKI-C ( a–e ) reached up to 472–495 °C in nitrogen and 466–481 °C in air. Flexible films, which could be easily cast from the polymer solutions , exhibited good mechanical properties with tensile strengths of 73–124 MPa, elongations at break of 9.7–12.8%, and tensile moduli of 2.2–2.8 GPa. Their films with cut-off wavelengths from 336 to 368 nm were transparent and essentially colorless. It is noted that the T g , T 5% , tensile strengths, elongations at break, and tensile moduli of PEKI-C ( a–e ) increased with increasing the content of 4,4′-bis(4-fluorophthalimido)diphenyl ether in the copolymerization.

ZnSe:Mn and core–shell ZnSe:Mn/ZnS doped quantum dots (d-dots) have been synthesized by using the alkylamine–H2Se complex and thiourea as new phosphine-free Se and S precursors, respectively. Absorption spectroscopy, steady-state (solution and solid-state) and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the resulting d-dots. Results showed that Mn2+ was successfully doped and mainly distributed in the middle layer of the actual ZnSe/ZnSe:Mn/ZnSe d-dots and ZnSe/ZnSeS:Mn/ZnS d-dots which were simply referred to as ZnSe:Mn and core–shell ZnSe:Mn/ZnS d-dots with ZnSe and ZnS outmost shells, respectively. The increase in the intensity of phosphorescence from the dopant Mn2+ was obtained by the corresponding injection of Zn precursor or Zn/S precursors for ZnSe or ZnS shell growth. As compared to the ZnSe shell, the ZnS shell was grown more significantly on the surface of the ZnSe:Mn core, which led to larger d-dots due to a thicker ZnS shell and thus deeper doping of Mn2+ in the larger host. Outstanding improvement has been achieved in both phosphorescence intensity and stability after growth of the ZnS shell relative to the ZnSe shell. The corresponding phosphorescence efficiency of the resulting d-dot cyclohexane solution was enhanced from about 8% for the ZnSe:Mn d-dots to 35% for the ZnSe:Mn/ZnS d-dots.
