Determination of hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) in tannery effluent is an important analytical objective for environmental monitoring and assessment. Here, a simple, accurate, and sensitive automated flow injection analysis (FIA) method is proposed in this paper. The procedure is based on a highly selective reaction between Ponceau S and Cr (VI) under acidic condition. The absorbance of the complex compounds was measured using an optical detector at 505 nm. The chemical factors and FIA variables that affect the system were fully discussed and optimized via univariate experimental design. Under the optimal conditions, a linear dynamic range of 0.1–3.0 mg/L with a satisfactory determination coefficient ( R
2 ) of 0.9996 was obtained. The detection limit and relative standard deviation were 0.08 mg/L and 2.27%, respectively. Finally, the method was successfully applied to determine Cr (VI) in field samples of tannery effluent and the results have no significant difference comparing with one official method, indicating this FIA method could be practically promising for determination of Cr (VI) in tannery effluent.

In this study, a bacterial strain of Achromobacter sp. LZ35, which was capable of utilizing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy acetic acid (MCPA) as the sole sources of carbon and energy for growth, was isolated from the soil in a disused pesticide factory in Suzhou, China. The optimal 2,4-D degradation by strain LZ35 occurred at 30 °C and pH 8.0 when the initial 2,4-D concentration was 200 mg L −1 . Strain LZ35 harbored the conserved 2,4-D/alpha-ketoglutarate dioxygenase (96%) and 2,4-dichlorophenol hydroxylase (99%), and catabolized 2,4-D via the intermediate 2,4-dichlorophenol. The inoculation of 7.8 × 10 6 CFU g −1 soil of strain LZ35 cells to 2,4-D-contaminated soil could efficiently remove over 75 and 90% of 100 and 50 mg L −1 2,4-D in 12 days and significantly released the phytotoxicity of maize caused by the 2,4-D residue. This is the first report of an Achromobacter sp. strain that was capable of mineralizing both 2,4-D and MCPA. This study provides us a promising candidate for its application in the bioremediation of 2,4-D- or MCPA-contaminated sites.

The anode material Si/CNTs@C composite is prepared by a spray–drying combined pyrolysis technology. The as–prepared material is characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and electrochemical measurements. The composite is composed of nano–Si, CNTs, flake graphite, and amorphous glucose–pyrolyzed carbon, and CNTs provides a good wrapping effect to buffer the volume change of silicon. The composite as anode for LIB shows good electrochemical performance. In the voltage range of 2.00–0.01 V, it delivers initial charge capacity of 630.5 at 100 mA g −1 , and 85.14 % of initial capacity is retained even after 50 cycles. The CV and AC impedance analysis indicate that the prepared composite separately shows good electrode stability and low charge- transfer impedance R
ct . The results indicate that the Si/CNTs@C composite is a potential alternative to graphite for high energy–density lithium–ion batteries.

The effect of polydopamine coating on improving photostability of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) fiber was investigated in detail. Due to strong adhesion ability and self-polymerization of dopamine in alkaline solution, the polydopamine could be easily coated on polyphenylene sulfide fiber under mild conditions. XPS, ATR-FTIR and SEM, which indicated the polydopamine coating was homogeneous, confirmed the polydopamine coating on PPS fiber. The UV-spectra analysis of polydopamine coating showed that it had a strong absorbance in ultraviolet wavelength and was very stable to it, which implied that the polydopamine was a potential photoprotection agent. 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) experiment further revealed that the PDA could quench free radicals, suggesting PDA was a good antioxidant. This scavenging ability of PDA might contribute to improving photostability of PPS fiber. Compared to pristine PPS fiber, the PPS fiber coated by polydopamine obviously had better photostability after ultraviolet irradiation according to mechanical test, which proved that polydopamine coating did improve the photostability of PPS fiber.

In this paper, we tried to fabricate a compact and thick mercapto functional silica sol–gel coating to achieve excellent corrosion resistance performance on copper. A detailed comparative study of alkylthiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and mercapto functional silica sol–gel coating prepared by 1-octanethiol, n -dodecanethiol and (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) was carried out. The elements composition and chemical bonding of the protective coatings were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In addition, the cross section morphologies of Cu–MPTMS sol–gel coating were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy. The wettability of various coatings was investigated by contact angle measurement instrument. Finally, the anti-corrosion ability of the coatings was characterized using an electrochemical workstation. Results demonstrated that compared to other alkylthiol SAMs, the Cu–MPTMS sol–gel coating showed the best anti-corrosion property in sodium chloride solution because it owned a multiple hierarchic Si–O–Si network structure, thus to achieve a higher range of thickness and lengthen the diffusion path way of corrosive medium. It was also found that compact and thick mercapto functional silica sol–gel coating shows better corrosion resistance performance than other SAMs of the same type.

Inspired by structures of antenna-reaction centers in photosynthesis, the complex micelle was prepared from zinc tetra-phenyl porphyrin (ZnTPP), fullerene derivative (PyC 60 ) and poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly( ε -caprolactone) (PEG- b -PCL). The core-shell structure made the hydrophobic donor-acceptor system work in aqueous. In micellar core, coordination interaction occurred between ZnTPP and PyC 60 molecules which ensured the enhanced energy migration from the donor to the acceptor. The enhanced interaction between porphyrin and fullerene was confirmed by absorption, steady-state fluorescence and transient fluorescence. The generation of singlet oxygen and superoxide radical was detected by iodide method and reduction of nitro blue tetrazolium, respectively, which confirmed that electron transfer reaction in the complex micellar core occurred. Moreover, the complex micelle exhibited effective electron transfer performance in photodebromination of 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropionic acid. The complex micellar structure endowed the donor-acceptor system with improved stability under irradiation. This strategy could be helpful for designing new electron transfer platform and artificial photosynthetic system.

Bio-inspired metal nanomaterials are receiving increasing research attentions in catalytic field recently, while peptide-based method represents new revenues to fabricate stable and reactive catalyst under mild and environmental friendly conditions. Among all kinds of noble metals, peptide-based palladium nanomaterials have demonstrated excellent catalytic capabilities in a variety of organic reactions. However, their electrocatalytic properties have not been systematically studied. Herein, R5-templated Pd nanomaterials have been fabricated and employed as potent catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The shape and morphology of these Pd nanomaterials were manipulated by tuning the metal-to-R5 ratio. The as-prepared Pd nanomaterials demonstrated excellent ORR activity in alkaline media. R5-Pd-90 exhibited the best activity which is superior than commercial Pt/C, in terms of onset potential, diffusion-limited current density as well as long-term stability. The correlation between the shape and/or morphology of the peptide-templated Pd nanomaterials and their ORR activity has been successfully established.

The tetragonal ZrO 2 nanopowders stabilized with 3 mol% Y 2 O 3 (3YSZ) were synthesized using a polyacrylamide gel method. The mean particle size of the 3YSZ nanopowders was found to decrease with increasing molecular ratio of monomer to the precursor salt. The 3YSZ nanopowders with mean particle size of 12 nm can be densified in 1 h at 800 ∘ C, by the application of a d.c. electrical field. Under a constant d.c. electrical field, the current density through the specimen of 3YSZ rose rapidly when the temperature increased to a certain value. In the sintering process, the current density was restricted when the sharp increase occurred. By limiting current density to different values for one hour, it was found that current density was the most important factor in electrical field-assisted sintering process. The grain size of 3YSZ bulk increased with the enhanced current density. The stable stage of electrical field-assisted sintering process can be explained by Joule heating. Corresponding real temperature of specimens is estimated by applying black body radiation theory.

High-performance dye-sensitized photoelectrodes using ordered TiO 2 nanotube arrays (TNTs) and TiO 2 quantum dot blocking layers are fabricated. The free-standing TNT membranes with perfect ordered morphology are prepared by three times of anodic oxidation on Ti foils. These TNT membranes can be easily transported to conductive glasses to fabricate front-side illuminated photoelectrodes. By changing anodic oxidation duration, the thickness of TNT membranes can be controlled, which shows significant influence on the UV-Vis reflectance and absorption abilities of TNT-based photoelectrodes and further influence photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The highest power conversion efficiency ( PCE ) of DSSCs about 6.21 % can be obtained by using TNT membranes prepared with anodic oxidation of 3 h. For further improving photovoltaic performance of DSSCs, TiO 2 quantum dot (QDs) blocking layers are inserted between conductive glasses and TNT membranes in the photoelectrodes, which show remarkable effects. The highest PCE of DSSCs with this kind of blocking layers can increase to 8.43 %, producing 35.75 % enhancement compared with that of the counterparts without TiO 2 QD blocking layers.

A method to detect small molecules with a molecularly imprinted polymer/quantum dot (MIP-QD) chip using a home-built optical fluidic system was first proposed in this study. Ractopamine (RAC) was used as the model molecule to demonstrate its feasibility. The sensing of the target molecule is based on the quenching amount of the quantum dots. The method is facile, cost-saving, easy for miniaturization and avoids the cumbersome steps that are needed to get the fluorescent quenching curve using a spectrofluorometer. Most importantly, more details and accurate response time can be obtained by use of this method. The experimental results show that the prepared chips with low cost are highly selective and the home-built detection system allows the fast binding kinetics. The recorded quenching process was used to study the kinetic uptake of RAC onto the MIP-QD chip and the specificity towards RAC. The system can further be utilized to study the effect of the solvent, pH and temperature on the selectivity of the prepared MIP. The methodology could be extended to other similar studies with different molecules.

In order to develop high-performance water-based drilling fluid with the aim of meeting the increasing requirement of drilling industry, highly inhibitive and high-temperature-resistant shale inhibitors are essential. In this study, 4, 4′-methylenebis-cyclohexanamine was introduced as a potential shale inhibitor. The inhibitive properties of the amine compound in comparison with currently available polyether diamine inhibitor were evaluated using bentonite inhibition test, shale cuttings hot-rolling dispersion test, linear swelling test, and pressure transmission test. The inhibitive mechanism was investigated with zeta potential measurement, X-ray diffraction analysis, and contact angle measurement. The results indicated that 4, 4′-methylenebis-cyclohexanamine can inhibit shale hydration and dispersion effectively, and prevent pressure transmission to a certain extent, performing better than that of polyether diamine. Furthermore, the new diamine provides reliable thermal stability as high as 220 °C, preserving the benefits of high-temperature wells application. This novel diamine inhibits shale hydration and dispersion with the combination of chemical inhibition and physical plugging. The intercalation into the interlayer of clay with monolayer collapses the hydrated clay structure and expels the water molecules. After adsorption, clay surface became more hydrophobic, which prevents the imbibition of water. The variation of solubility separates the compound from the solution, which can plug the micro-pores of shale and prevent fluid invasion.

A series of mixed, random cylindrical brush copolymers bearing polystyrene (PS) and poly( ε -caprolactone) (PCL) side chains were synthesized via the combination of ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). These novel cylindrical brush copolymers have been characterized by means of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that the mikto-armed cylindrical brush copolymers were microphase-separated in bulks and that the morphologies were dependent on the mass ratios of PS to PCL side chains. One of the cylindrical brush copolymers was employed to incorporate into epoxy thermoset to investigate effect of the mikto-armed cylindrical brush architecture on the reaction-induced microphase separation behavior. Depending on the concentration of the cylindrical brush in epoxy, the thermosets can display the morphologies with the spherical, worm-like and lamellar PS microdomains dispersing in continuous thermosetting matrices.
