Abstract The hybrid TiO 2 /WO 3 nanoparticles with different doping ratios of tungsten were synthesized from titanium tetra-isopropoxide and tungsten hexachloride (WCl 6 ) as precursors via a sol–gel process using poly( ε -caprolactone)- b -poly(acrylic acid) (PCL- b -PAA) diblock copolymer as a template. The morphology, crystal structure, chemical and physical property of the fabricated TiO 2 /WO 3 nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and so on. N 2 adsorption–desorption analysis revealed that the surface area (40.6 m 2 g −1 ), pore volume (0.11 cm 3 g −1 ) and average pore size (8.56 nm) of such TiO 2 /WO 3 nanoparticles. The resulting hybrid TiO 2 /WO 3 nanoparticles (average diameter: ca. 100–200 nm) with proper doping ratio of tungsten exhibited the enhanced photocatalytic activity than that of the commercial P25 in the degradation of methylene blue.

In this study, a sensitive and low-cost multi-wavelength spectrophotometric method for the determination of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) in water was established. The method was based on the oxidative coloration of 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) via Fenton reaction, which resulted in the formation of green radical (ABTS •+ ) with absorbance at four different wavelengths (i.e., 415 nm, 650 nm, 732 nm, and 820 nm). Under the optimized conditions ( C ABTS = 2.0 mM, C Fe 2+ = 1.0 mM, pH = 2.60 ± 0.02, and reaction time ( t ) = 1 min), the absorbance of the generated ABTS •+ at 415 nm, 650 nm, 732 nm, and 820 nm were well linear with H 2 O 2 concentrations in the range of 0–40 μM ( R 2 > 0.999) and the sensitivities of the proposed Fenton-ABTS method were calculated as 4.19 × 10 4 M –1 cm –1 ,1.73 × 10 4 M –1 cm –1 , 2.18 × 10 4 M –1 cm –1 , and 1.96 × 10 4 M –1 cm –1 , respectively. Meanwhile, the detection limits of the Fenton-ABTS method at 415 nm, 650 nm, 732 nm, and 820 nm were respectively calculated to be 0.18 μM, 0.12 μM, 0.10 μM, and 0.11 μM. The absorbance of the generated ABTS •+ in ultrapure water, underground water, and reservoir water was quite stable within 30 min. Moreover, the proposed Fenton-ABTS method could be used for monitoring the variations of H 2 O 2 concentration during the oxidative decolorization of RhB in alkali-activated H 2 O 2 system.

Levulinic acid (LA) production from corncob acid hydrolysis residues (CAHR) using FeCl 3 as Lewis acid catalyst in green solutions of salt was investigated. The reaction kinetic relationships were determined in the temperature range of 160–180 °C, with FeCl 3 concentrations of 0.12–0.36 M, and a reaction time of 0–60 min. The maximum LA concentration of 59.0 mol% (24.5 g/L) was achieved at 170 °C in a 30% NaCl solution containing 0.24 M FeCl 3 . A pseudo first-order kinetic model was proposed to describe the cellulose deconstruction to LA. The model agreed perfectly with the evolution in the concentrations of the major compounds such as glucose, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and LA during the CAHR hydrolysis. The kinetic model developed for CAHR was in good agreement with that previously developed for other lignocellulosic systems. Based on our kinetic model and reaction system, the LA yield is increased at the lower end of the temperature range with the higher acid concentrations. The results indicated that the concentrated seawater after desalination could be a green solvent in the biorefinery.

Cassava residue was liquefied by using ethylene glycol (EG), ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate and polyethylene glycol (molecular weight: 400 g/mol) as the liquefaction reagent respectively at the temperature of 130–170 °C with sulfuric acid as the catalyst. The influences of liquefaction parameters, such as the type of liquefaction reagents, mass ratio of EG/cassava residue, liquefaction temperature and time on the properties of the products were discussed. The optimum liquefaction conditions were obtained when the mass ratio of EG/cassava residue was 6:1 ( w/w ), the liquefaction temperature was 150 °C, the liquefaction time was 3 h and the mass fraction of concentrated sulfuric acid/EG was 2.5wt%. The hydroxyl numbers and residue content of the liquefied products at optimal conditions were 1 137 mgKOH/g and 0.43%, respectively. FT-IR spectrum showed that the liquefaction product of cassava residue was polyether polyol and could be used to prepare polyurethane material or alkyd resins.

Ionic liquid modified silica nanoparticles were synthesized using a simple silane chemistry, followed by substitution reaction. The phenol adsorption performance was tested using temperature programmed desorption technique. The experimental results reveal that the introduction of ionic liquids on the surface of silica nanoparticles can improve the adsorption capacity of phenol compared to the pure silica nanoparticles. The initial adsorption capacity reaches 0.312 mmol·g −1 at 25 °C under total pressure of 0.2 bar and it decreases slightly in the following adsorption-desorption cycles. The results demonstrate that introduction of ionic liquids can improve the phenol adsorption capacity and the simple material preparation process is feasible for industrial applications.

A series of Eu 2+ and Eu 3+ coexisting Ca 2 P 2 O 7 phosphors with tunable red/blue (R/B) emission have been successfully synthesized by a two-step method. Phase composition, luminescence properties and surface states are investigated by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra, fluorescence quantum efficiency, fluorescent lifetime and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It can be concluded from XRD and FTIR results that pure Ca 2 P 2 O 7 phase can be obtained at 900 °C and Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 impurity phase occurs at an increasing preparation temperature (1100 °C). The XRD results confirm that the Eu 2+ or Eu 3+ doped samples all exhibit pure tetragonal Ca 2 P 2 O 7 crystal with space group P 4 1 . Under excitation of 330 nm, Eu 2+ singly-doped Ca 2 P 2 O 7 phosphors showed a broad blue emission band at 422 nm, while the Eu 3+ single-doped samples emitted a strong orange-red light with wavelength of 591, 597 and 618 nm excited by 395 nm. In particular, oxygen vacancies in pure Ca 2 P 2 O 7 crystal are found due to the strong PL emission at 420 nm. Furthermore, Eu 2+ /Eu 3+ co-doped Ca 2 P 2 O 7 phosphors prepared by this two-step synthesis show the blue emission at 422 nm (Eu 2+ ions) and the orange-red emission (Eu 2+ ions) at 591 nm, 597 nm and 618 nm under near-ultraviolet (NUV) excitation of 380 nm. It was detected that the quantum efficiency of the Ca 1.88 P 2 O 7 :0.12Eu phosphor was 37.7%. The tunable R/B emission ratio from 0.13 to 1.56 can be achieved by controlling the recalcined temperature in the second step when excited by 380 nm. The XPS demonstrate the existence of Eu 3+ ions on the surface of Eu 2+ /Eu 3+ co-doped Ca 2 P 2 O 7 phosphors. Under NUV excitation in the range from 350 to 400 nm, the optimum Commission International de I’Eclairage (CIE) coordinate of Ca 2 P 2 O 7 :0.12Eu 2+ /Eu 3+ phosphors is (0.3648, 0.215), which can be potentially used as an emitting source to meet the needs of illumination devices.

Mesocellular silica foam (MCF) grafted with thermo-responsive and pH-responsive copolymer poly( N -isopropylacrylamide- co -acrylic acid), was prepared by precipitation polymerization using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2 ) as entrainer and solvent. Vinyl-functionalized MCF was first synthesized through post-synthesis via using vinyltriethoxysilane as a coupling agent for surface modification. Entrapped monomers of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) and acrylic acid (AA) were then introduced and assembled onto the vinyl-modified MCF with the aid of scCO 2 . The grafting copolymer performed here as an on/off switch in the release of 5-fluorouracil, as confirmed by using UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. The grafted organic content and drug loading efficiency were 65.2 wt% and 11.5 wt%, respectively. The resultant grafting composite showed potential for application in drug delivery and exhibited thermo- and pH-responsiveness to external environmental changes.

Due to the high agglomerate propensity of Si particles, making aluminum composites with a dispersion of the reinforcement using traditional way is still a challenge. In this study, an innovative approach was utilized to prevent the agglomeration of particles using encapsulating graphene sheets by grinding. Afterwards, the milled mixtures were incorporated with Cr-coated graphite flakes, urea and starch via mechanical mixing. After being mechanically mixed and sintered at 330 °C, the porous preform was fabricated by vacuum gas pressure infiltration. Effects of graphene content (0.5, 1, 3, 5 wt%) on the microstructures and properties of thermal and mechanical were investigated. Thermal conductivity and bending strength of the graphite flakes (G f )/Si/Al composites increased by 41.4 and 300%, respectively compared to the specimens without graphene. G f /Si/Al composites with graphene mass fraction of 5% had excellent in-plane thermal conductivity of 346 W/mK and bending strength of 84 Mpa, suggesting the composites can be applied as promising thermal management materials.

Noncovalent interactions between proteins and small-molecule ligands widely exist in biological bodies and play significant roles in many physiological and pathological processes. Native mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a new powerful tool to study noncovalent interactions by directly analyzing the ligand–protein complexes. In this work, an ultrahigh-resolution native MS method based on a 15-T SolariX XR Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer was firstly used to investigate the interaction between human serum albumin (HSA) and flavonoids. Various flavonoids with similar structure were selected to unravel the relationship between the structure of flavonoids and their binding affinity for HSA. It was found that the position of the hydroxyl groups and double bond of flavonoids could influence the noncovalent interaction. Through a competitive experiment between HSA binding site markers and apigenin, the subdomain IIA (site 1) of HSA was determined as the binding site for flavonoids. Moreover, a cooperative allosteric interaction between apigenin and ibuprofen was found from their different HSA binding sites, which was further verified by circular dichroism spectroscopy and molecular docking studies. These results show that native MS is a useful tool to investigate the molecular interaction between a protein and its ligands.

Oily wastewater caused by industrial production and crude oil leakage has attracted worldwide attention. Here, a thermo- and pH dual-responsive biodegradable cellulose-based aerogel for oil–water separation was designed and prepared via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of non-fluorine-containing 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA). The cellulose-based aerogel exhibit switchable superhydrophilicity with a water contact angle (WCA) of 0° and hydrophobicity (WCA 130°) by modulating pH or temperature. The functionalized cellulose-based aerogels could be used to absorb the water under 60 °C (pH 7.0) and pH is 1.0 (T = 25 °C), while absorb oil underwater when the temperature is above 60 °C (pH 7.0) or pH is 13.0 (T = 25 °C). So this adsorbent were suitable for the separation of water-rich or oil-rich oil/water mixtures, and it could adsorb oil over ten times its own weight, and had a good reusability. What’s more, the cellulose-based aerogel is green, low cost, and environmental friendly, which makes it a promising candidate to be used for oil–water separation.

In this study, sulfonated organosilane graphene oxide (SSiGO) was synthesized by grafting 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MTPS) with graphene oxide (GO) and follow-up oxidation with hydrogen peroxide. The SSiGO was introduced into sulfonated poly (phthalazinone ether ketone) (SPPEK) to obtain composite membranes (SSiGO/SPPEK), and the physicochemical and electrochemical properties were extensively investigated. The results show that this SSiGO/SPPEK composite membranes possess excellent thermal and dimensional stability and super high proton conductivity. The proton conductivity of 10% SSiGO composite membranes was improved greatly from 0.094 to 0.22 S/cm from 30 to 80 °C, in contrast with the 0.089–0.17 S/cm from 30 to 80 °C of Nafion 212, which indicates that the SSiGO/SPPEK composite membranes have tremendous promise for proton exchange membranes fuel cells.

In this work, effective and novel heterogeneous catalysts of Metal–organic framework MIL-101(Fe) doped with cobalt (Co 2+ ) or copper (Cu 2+ ) have been synthesized by post-synthesis method, namely Co–MIL-101(Fe) and Cu–MIL-101(Fe). The initial and metal-doped samples were tested to activate persulfate (PS) for removal of Acid Orange 7 (AO7) in water. The surface of samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, N 2 adsorption, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The addition of Cu 2+ and Co 2+ could alter structure characteristics of MIL-101(Fe) in crystal structure and morphology. The unusual octahedron morphology of MIL-101(Fe) turned to be irregular, disorder and a rod-like morphology was shaped. What is more, Co doping caused greater changes in structure characteristics in comparison with Cu doping. The alteration was reflected in the catalytic capacity of PS activation. An interesting note was that, whether Co or Cu doping, metal-doped MIL-101(Fe) greatly improved the PS activation as compared to unmodified MIL-101(Fe). The removal rate of AO7 was about 66, 92, 98% in MIL-101(Fe)/PS, 6%wtCu–MIL-101(Fe)/PS and 6%wtCo–MIL-101(Fe)/PS system, respectively. Some results also suggested the performance of Co–MIL-101(Fe) was superior to that of Cu–MIL-101(Fe). Additionally, a series of parameters were designed to achieve maximum capacity of PS activation. Such an enhancement in activity may be attributed to the main reasons: the new active sites created by metal additives; an increase in number of active Fe sites produced by Co and Cu doping which results in alteration of morphology and structure of catalysts.
