Metal fuel with high energy and reactivity is an urgent need for the development of solid propellant, explosive and pyrotechnics. Herein, spherical B/Al/PTFE fuel is designed based on synergistic reaction effect between B/F and Al/F and prepared through the confinement-emulsion-templated method. The combustion reaction performance and pressure output performance of B/Al/PTFE microspheres are much better than their physically mixed counterparts. The synergistic reaction effect between B/F and Al/F on the reaction heat, flame propagation , and pressure output were systematically investigated through adjusting the B/Al mass ratio (30/0∼0/30). The DSC results show that the highest heat of combustion of 4904 J/g can be achieved when the B/Al mass ratio is 21/9. Furthermore, the combustion duration , peak pressure, and pressurization rate are monotonically accelerated from 653 ms, 352.15 kPa, and 305.67 MPa/s to 200 ms, 821.25 kPa, and 1831.18 MPa/s, respectively. This work provides a promising method for the design and preparation of highly composited metal fuel for practical application.

A novel ternary photocatalyst with a Z-scheme heterojunction was successfully synthesized through the deposition of Ag nanoparticles onto the surface of a ZnO/g-C 3 N 4 composite. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized by XRD , FT-IR, XPS , HRSEM, TEM , DRS, PL, EIS, TPC , and M-S. The photocatalytic performance of the as-synthesized photocatalysts was systematically investigated through the photodegradation of norfloxacin (NOR) and rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation. The photodegradation efficiency of 5% Ag/ZnO/g-C 3 N 4 (5AZCN) composite photocatalyst reached 86.7% (480 min) and 98.0% (60 min) for NOR and RhB, respectively. Moreover, the apparent rate constants of the 5AZCN composite photocatalysts for NOR and RhB were found to be 3.4 and 22.2 times higher than that of the ZCN composite photocatalysts, respectively. The significantly enhanced photocatalytic performance was ascribed to the widened range of visible light response and the efficient separation and migration of carriers facilitated by the introduction of Ag nanoparticles that functioned as electron transfer mediators. Based on the free radicals quenching experiment and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy characterization, superoxide radicals (·O 2 − ) were the main reactive species in the photodegradation process. Furthermore, the charge transfer process was proved to be a Z-scheme transfer mechanism. This work provides a promising approach to simply constructing novel efficient Z-scheme photocatalysts for the elimination of environmental pollutants.

Organic contaminants in the water environment and liquid foods have posed a great threat to the environment as well as human well-being, and the low catalytic activity of traditional TiO 2 photocatalysts limits its further application. Here, inspired by nature, a novel hydrogenated rambutan-like hollow TiO 2 (denoted as HRT) was synthesized by facile hydrothermal treatment and in-situ hydrogenation reduction steps. The protruding spikes on the surface of the 3D rambutan-like hollow structure build a fast channel for charge transfer, the suitable cavity enhances light scattering and collection. The available inner/outer surface can bind contaminants more rapidly which facilitates transportation of photo-generated electrons. Relying on its special structure and abundant surface defects, HRT exhibits excellent photocatalytic degradation property. Under visible light irradiation, the photodegradation rate of rhodamine B (RhB) by HRT nearly reached 100.0%, and 80.0% for tetracycline (TC) within only 10 min, whose photocatalytic activity was 6.45 and 2.08 times higher than that of RT, respectively. Moreover, the innovative and practical application of HRT to the degradation of TC in milk revealed favorable degradation efficiency (71.0%) and salient catalytic reusability after five cycles. This work provides a new perspective on the purification of multiple organic contaminants in aqueous systems, points the way to the intractable problem of removing antibiotics from liquid foods and expands the application fields of semiconductor photocatalysts.

Exosomes contribute to cell–cell communications. Emerging evidence has shown that microglial exosomes may play crucial role in regulation of neuronal functions under ischemic conditions. However, the underlying mechanisms of microglia-derived exosome biosynthesis are largely unknown. Herein, we reported that the microglial PDE1-B expression was progressively elevated in the peri-infarct region after focal middle cerebral artery occlusion. By an oxygen-glucose-deprivation (OGD) ischemic model in cells, we found that inhibition of PDE1-B by vinpocetine in the microglial cells promoted M2 and inhibited M1 phenotype. In addition, knockdown or inhibition of PDE1-B significantly enhanced the autophagic flux in BV2 cells, and vinpocetine-mediated suppression of M1 phenotype was dependent on autophagy in ischemic conditions. Co-culture of BV2 cells and neurons revealed that vinpocetine-treated BV2 cells alleviated OGD-induced neuronal damage, and treatment of BV2 cells with 3-MA abolished the observed effects of vinpocetine. We further demonstrated that ischemia and vinpocetine treatment significantly altered microglial exosome biogenesis and release, which could be taken up by recipient neurons and regulated neuronal damage. Finally, we showed that the isolated exosome per se from conditioned BV2 cells is sufficient to regulate cortical neuronal survival in vivo. Taken together, these results revealed a novel microglia-neuron interaction mediated by microglia-derived exosomes under ischemic conditions. Our findings further suggest that PDE1-B regulates autophagic flux and exosome biogenesis in microglia which plays a crucial role in neuronal survival under cerebral ischemic conditions.

In food safety assessment, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a novel detection method with the advantages of being fast, easy, and of high sensitivity. However, many SERS substrate synthesis methods are complex, and there are only a few studies on the simultaneous detection of multiple substances. In this study, a new, simple, low-cost SERS substrate was synthesised for the first time to simultaneously detect illegal food additives rhodamine B and basic orange II in chilli products. A lightweight, porous, and low-cost material of melamine foam (MF) was employed as the SERS synthesis template. The substrate’s SERS effect on, and sensitivity to, rhodamine B and basic orange II were demonstrated. The molecular vibration and SERS enhancement mechanisms of the two target molecules were analysed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results reveal that this fabricated substrate has great application potential for the supervision and testing industry.

Indole alkaloids from Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don were valued for their wide spectrum of pharmaceutical effects. Their biosynthesis is modulated by various abiotic factors including ultraviolet B radiation which induced ATP production and led to accumulation of indole alkaloids. To investigate the regulatory mechanism of secondary metabolism in the leaf mitochondria of C. roseus under ultraviolet B radiation, combinatory study of proteomic and metabolomic analyses of C. roseus was performed. ATP export in the leaves of C. roseus increased under UVB radiation, which required mitochondrial ATP synthase. Proteins related to mitochondrial complexes II/IV and their gene expression levels increased, and those related to mitochondrial complex I decreased. Proteins related to the methylerythritol phosphate pathway, especially geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase, increased under ultraviolet B radiation. Metabolites whose levels changed were mainly alkaloids, organic acids, carbohydrates, phenylpropanoids, and fatty acids, while eight indole alkaloids increased. Integrative analysis of omics data indicated that the metabolism of glutamate and tyrosine was downregulated. These results suggest that ultraviolet B radiation induces dynamic changes in mitochondria in C. roseus , which guarantees ATP production, regulates the flux of the methylerythritol phosphate pathway to the biosynthesis of monoterpene moieties, and leads to accumulation of various indole alkaloids.

Three diblock copolymers ( PTPEE-PNns ) with controllable polymer structures were synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, combining 1-ethenyl-4-(1,2,2-triphenylethenyl)-benzene (TPEE) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM). All PTPEE-PNns copolymers showed remarkable aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristic. Due to the amphiphilic structure of the copolymers, PTPEE-PNn micelles (mainly hollow) were prepared with either “precipitation” or “dialysis” method, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy , dynamic light scattering and fluorescence methodology were performed to investigate the morphology, size distribution and stability of the micelles, revealing the effects of molecular weight and micelle preparation method on the nanostructure of the micelles. The PTPEE-PN2 hollow micelles prepared by the “dialysis” method had the advantages of small particle size, extremely narrow particle size distribution , remarkable thermal sensitivity, excellent particle stability, and showed good biocompatibility and fluorescence emission capability in cell imaging . This work would inspire more approaches to prepare novel AIE-active, thermoresponsive and biocompatible polymers for biomedical application .

Until recently, many metal-based catalysts have been developed for the cycloaddition reaction of CO2 with epoxides. However, the leaching of the active metal component would lead to various environmental problems. A novel nonmetal B-doped Lewis acid–base catalyst with hydrogen bond donor (HBD) groups (B-SBA-15-NH2) was prepared successfully through the hydrothermal process and post-modification. B-SBA-15-NH2 exhibited good catalytic performance for the CO2 cycloaddition reaction, and 95% yield of propylene carbonate and satisfied selectivity (98%) were achieved in the presence of the KI cocatalyst. The efficient catalytic activity of B-SBA-15-NH2 resulted from the synergistic effects of B and HBD groups, together with the functionalized –NH2 groups. B-SBA-15-NH2 also exhibited good generality with acceptable yields for the corresponding cyclic carbonates in the CO2 cycloaddition with various epoxides. Furthermore, the developed B-SBA-15-NH2 catalyst could be easily separated by centrifugation and reused for five runs without an obvious loss in activity. The good activity and stable reusability of the metal-free B-SBA-15-NH2 catalyst demonstrate that it is a promising green candidate catalyst in the field of CO2 conversion.

Amphiphilic block copolymers can self-assemble into various aggregates in which functional inorganic nanoparticles and organic chromophores can be incorporated. A variety of fabrication methods have been developed. In this work, the liquid/liquid interface mass transfer-assisted self-assembly method was extended to fabricate composite organized structure of polystyrene-b-polyacrylic acid (PS-b-PAA) with small organic molecules, such as diamines, dopamine and dyes. It was found that long uniform nanowires , hollow spheres and foams were generated when using these organic molecules under different conditions, which correspond to worm-like micelles , vesicles and aggregates of microcapsules, respectively. The length of the nanowires reaches to several tens of micrometers. The influence of the molecular structure of the organic molecules, especially the diamines was investigated and discussed, and the formation mechanism of these aggregates was analyzed. This method may be developed to a facile and useful approach to fabricate functional composite structure of block copolymers and small molecules.

The N and B co-doped hierarchical porous carbon with excellent textured properties by using two-step of activation and hydrothermal post-treatment process using ammonium pentaborate tetrahydrate (NH 4 B 5 O 8 ·4H 2 O) as both nitrogen and boron source are developed. The results showed that BNAC-3 has the maximum surface area (2471 m 2 /g) caused by the highest degree of micro/mesopores (0.82 and 0.35 cm 3 /g) and the linked 3D network are advantageous for the circulation of electrolytes and electrostatic adsorption. The contribution of Faradaic pseudocapacitance may be caused by high B (3.12 wt percent) and N (2.02 wt percent) contents of BNAC-3. Additionally, BNAC-3 exhibits excellent electrochemical efficiency with an ultra-high specific ability of 369 F/g at 1 A/g current density (CD) and maintains 240 F/g at 20 A/g in three-electrode systems. Notably, in a two-electrode device, maximum energy density can be almost 12.0 W h/kg at a power density (PD) of 375 W/kg.

Co/Fe co-doped porous graphite carbon (Co/Fe-PGC) nanocomposites were successfully prepared by one-step pyrolysis with CoFe-MOF, in which the Co/Fe nanoparticles were uniformly coated on porous graphite carbon derived from MOF. It was used to microelectrolysis-Fenton degrade rhodamine B through the main active substance ∙OH. The color and TOC removal rate of 100 mg/L rhodamine B reached 99.41% and 64.6%, respectively, for 30 min. Rhodamine B was degraded into small molecular organic acids, alcohols and lipids by N-demethylation and chromophore cleavage, until it was finally degraded into CO 2 and H 2 O, and no new colored organics were produced in the degradation process. The degradation process follows the first-order reaction kinetics, and its rate constant is much higher than that of the previous similar studies. The excellent catalytic performance of Co/Fe-PGC catalyst is attributed to the coupling effect of micro-electrolysis and Fenton reaction, and the acceleration of cobalt on electron transport and Fe 2+ reduction. Co 0 /Fe 0 undergoes galvanic corrosion to generate Co 2+ /Fe 2+ and H 2 O 2 , and then these products undergo Fenton reaction to generate Co 3+ /Fe 3+ and ∙OH, thus forming a circulating system of Co 3+ /Fe 3+ and Co 2+ /Fe 2+ , enhancing the activation of H 2 O 2 and ensuring the efficient degradation of RhB.

An analysis strategy that can simultaneously determine the amino acid site information and configuration for polymyxin (PM) components is reported in this study. The main components of PMB1, PMB2, and PMB1-I (the Leucine at position 7 changed to be Isoleucine) were purified from the mixture of PMB. The PMB component was hydrolyzed by hydrochloric acid to be a mixture of amino acids, which were derivatized with Marfey’s reagent of N α -(5-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenyl)- l -alanine amide ( l -FDAA), and then, the configurations of amino acids were easily determined by HPLC–MS. However, the aforementioned method could not offer the information of amino acid at each site, a specific enzymatic hydrolysis method combined Edman degradation was developed. The fatty acyl-diaminobutyric acid (position 1) of PMB component was removed by ficin, and the PMB components were transformed to be PMB nonapeptide. The amino acids at each site of the nonapeptide were determined by N-terminal sequencing. Combining the results of the above methods, the amino acid information and configuration of each site in PM components can be determined, especially the l -Leucine and l -Isoleucine in PMB1 and PMB1-I. The workflow was useful for other PM analogues to identify the sequence and configuration for quality control.
