A novel photoelectrochemical strategy for the sensitive determination of p-nitrophenol (PNP) was developed using a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with CdSe quantum dots (QDs) and DNA composite film (CdSe-DNA/GCE). Various surface analytical techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), were employed to characterize the synthesized CdSe QDs and CdSe-DNA modified electrode. The interfacial behaviors of the modified electrodes were analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and the interaction between PNP and DNA was studied by UV-visible spectrometry. Due to the PNP-DNA interaction, CdSe-DNA/GCE exhibited a sensitive photocurrent response toward PNP under visible-light irradiation. The influencing factors, such as the concentration of DNA used for fabricating CdSe-DNA/GCE and the bias potential applied in the photoelectrochemical measurement, were investigated. Under the optimized conditions, the photocurrent on CdSe- DNA/GCE was linearly increased with the PNP concentration from 0.7 to 50 μmol L −1 , with a detection limit (3 S/N ) of 0.27 μmol L −1 . The proposed photoelectrochemical strategy was successfully applied to monitoring the degradation of PNP.

We demonstrate that the thermoelectric properties of p-type chalcogenides can be effectively improved by band convergence and hierarchical structure based on a high-entropy-stabilized matrix. The band convergence is due to the decreased light and heavy band energy offsets by alloying Cd for an enhanced Seebeck coefficient and electric transport property. Moreover, the hierarchical structure manipulated by entropy engineering introduces all-scale scattering sources for heat-carrying phonons resulting in a very low lattice thermal conductivity. Consequently, a peak zT of 2.0 at 900 K for p-type chalcogenides and a high experimental conversion efficiency of 12% at Δ T = 506 K for the fabricated segmented modules are achieved. This work provides an entropy strategy to form all-scale hierarchical structures employing high-entropy-stabilized matrix. This work will promote real applications of low-cost thermoelectric materials.

Due to the rapid industrialization, heavy metals contamination in the aquatic environment has become more serious. Thus, it is urgent to develop enhanced removal technology for heavy metals. Graphene oxide (GO) based composite paper-like materials have been widely applied for adsorption of heavy metals from wastewater. Herein, we fabricated for the first time an advanced, highly-ordered and homogenous PVC/PPD/GO paper-like material using a resin-infiltration technique. This process is complimentary to layer-by-layer assembly, where the assembling components are required to interact strongly (e.g., via hydrogen bonding or electrostatic attraction). The results showed that the composite papers could achieve high removal efficiency of the heavy metals from water. The amount of Pb(II) adsorbed at equilibrium as achieved by GO, PVC/GO-0.05, PVC/GO-0.08, PVC/PPD/GO-0.05 and PVC/PPD/GO-0.08 buckypapers were 17.61, 22.17, 25.41, 33.57 and 44.80 mg g −1 , respectively. In addition, the effects of experimental factors (e.g. GO content, ionic strength of heavy metal ions , temperature and solution pH) on heavy metal adsorption were discussed. Furthermore, the as-prepared PVC/PPD/GO-0.08 composite papers exhibited superior stability and could be recycled more than 900 h based on their 15 regeneration cycles. The improved heavy metal removal efficiency was attributed to the enhanced morphology and the formation of micro- and nano-channels created by the entangled PPD/GO. The findings indicated that the PVC/PPD/GO composite buckypapers could be used as promising materials for the adsorption of heavy metals from wastewater.

In recent years, in the field of tinplate production, it has become a trend to use lower tin coating mass to lower production costs. However, the preparation of low Sn-coated steel must face two significant problems: toxic chromate post-treatment and low corrosion resistance. In this work, we developed an Mn-Al-P chemical conversion coating using a process sequence-adjusted tinplate of 0.5 g/m 2 tin coating mass as an alternative to the chromate treatment. Meanwhile, by adjusting the subsequence of the reflowing process and the post-treatment process, the wash water and electricity consumption were effectively reduced. The influence of reflowing time on the microstructural appearance, phase composition, surface element distribution, and corrosion resistance of this new brand tinplate was studied. Moreover, the composition was determined by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and further discuss the formation mechanism of this coating. The results show that this mutielement coating could effectively fill tin-free zones on the surface of the tinplate and improve the corrosion resistance when the reflowing time is properly set up to 3.5 s after the process adjustment. However, continually extending the reflowing time would cause the phosphate coating to fall off, leading to the corrosion resistance deterioration. The coating was mainly made up of a series of amorphous phosphate compounds and metal oxides, which was suitable for a tinplate with low tin coating mass.

Arsenic aromatic compounds including p-arsanylic acid (pASA) are still widely used in a number of countries as the feed additives in animal breeding resulting in its entering the environment. Under the influence of oxidizing agents or UV radiation, pASA undergoes transformations leading to generation of inorganic arsenic species that are more mobile and toxic than organic ones. On the one hand, an approach based on the treatment of contaminated waters by UV irradiation seems perspective for their detoxification, but the feasibility of this approach depends on the composition of the products forming as a result of photodegradation. In the present work, a CZE was applied for the study of the pASA degradation process during stationary (308 nm) photolysis in the presence of Fe(III)-oxalate complex. A developed assay allowed controlling the parent compounds and also As-containing products of pASA degradation, presented mainly by arsenate and arsenite ions. It was found that the main inorganic derivatives of the pASA photolytic conversions are presented by arsenate and arsenite ions whose ratio depends on the initial amount of pASA and reaction conditions.

P-nitrophenol (4-NP) and hydrazine hydrate are considered to be highly toxic pollutants in wastewater, and it is of great importance to remove them. Herein, TiO2-loaded Co0.85Se thin films with heterostructure were successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal route. The as-synthesized samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and selective-area electron diffraction. The results demonstrate that TiO2 nanoparticles with a size of about 10 nm are easily loaded on the surface of graphene-like Co0.85Se nanofilms, and the NH3 · H2O plays an important role in the generation and crystallization of TiO2 nanoparticles. Brunauer–Emmett–Teller measurement shows that the obtained nanocomposites have a larger specific surface area (199.3 m2 g−1) than that of Co0.85Se nanofilms (55.17 m2 g−1) and TiO2 nanoparticles (19.49 m2 g−1). The catalytic tests indicate Co0.85Se–TiO2 nanofilms have the highest activity for 4-NP reduction and hydrazine hydrate decomposition within 10 min and 8 min, respectively, compared with the corresponding precursor Co0.85Se nanofilms and TiO2 nanoparticles. The enhanced catalytic performance can be attributed to the larger specific surface area and higher rate of interfacial charge transfer in the heterojunction than that of the single components. In addition, recycling tests show that the as-synthesized sample presents stable conversion efficiency for 4-NP reduction.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) in tumor cells is a significant obstacle for successful cancer chemotherapy. Overexpression of drug efflux transporters such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a key factor contributing to the development of tumor drug resistance. Verapamil (VRP), a P-gp inhibitor, has been reported to be able to reverse completely the resistance caused by P-gp. For optimal synergy, the drug and inhibitor combination may need to be temporally colocalized in the tumor cells. Herein, we investigated the effectiveness of simultaneous and targeted delivery of anticancer drug, paclitaxel (PTX), along with VRP, using DOMC-FA micelles to overcome tumor drug resistance. The floate-functionalized dual agent loaded micelles resulted in the similar cytotoxicity to PTX-loaded micelles/free VRP combination and co-administration of two single-agent loaded micelles, which was higher than that of PTX-loaded micelles. Enhanced therapeutic efficacy of dual agent micelles could be ascribe to increased accumulation of PTX in drug-resistant tumor cells. We suggest that the synergistic effect of folate receptor-mediated internalization and VRP-mediated overcoming MDR could be beneficial in treatment of MDR solid tumors by targeting delivery of micellar PTX into tumor cells. As a result, the difunctional micelle systems is a very promising approach to overcome tumor drug resistance.

In this study, novel dual-emission Au nanoclusters (BSA@CDs-BSA-AuNCs) were developed via a two-step in-situ synthesis strategy. Step one, bovine serum albumin (BSA) doped carbon dots (BSA@CDs) covalently bound to BSA under the coupling effect of N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) to obtain BSA@CDs-functionalized BSA (BSA@CDs-BSA); step two, in-situ synthesis of Au nanoclusters using BSA@CDs-BSA as template was conducted and BSA@CDs-BSA-AuNCs with a size of 30 nm and two characteristic emission peaks at 450 and 675 nm confirmed to be attributed to BSA@CDs and BSA-templated AuNCs (BSA-AuNCs) respectively were fabricated, presenting an emission separation of 225 nm. The prepared nanoclusters were fully characterized. Notably, the two characteristic emission peaks both have been redshifted compared to the original BSA@CDs and BSA-AuNCs respectively, due to possible charge transfer occurred between BSA ligand and the above two fluorophores. Further, it has been applied to establish an original ratiometric fluorescence sensor for p-nitrophenol (p-NP) detection with excellent performance, which has not been reported in literatures.

The Ni-P-WS 2 composite coatings with prominent structures were constructed by composite electrodeposition by adding tungsten disulfide (WS 2 ) nanoparticles to the electroplating solution. Modification of the Ni-P-WS 2 composite coating with hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS) is going to achieve the superhydrophobic effect. The successful construction of the superhydrophobic surface was demonstrated by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and contact angle measurement (CA). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to investigate the corrosion resistance. The finding indicates that hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS) reduces the surface energy of the Ni-P-WS 2 composite coating, generates a film on its rough surface, blocks the corrosive medium, and improves the corrosion resistance of the composite coating. The Ni-P-WS 2 nanocomposite coating’s water contact angle is 156.8° and its sliding angle is 8° at 3 g/L of WS 2 particle concentration. And the composite plating has the highest self-corrosion potential ( E corr = − 0.285 V) and the lowest self-corrosion current density ( i corr = 3.206 μA cm −2 ), with a better corrosion resistance. In addition, the prepared superhydrophobic coating showed excellent corrosion resistance under the hydrophobic barrier and the layer barrier of WS 2 nanosheets.

Of diverse NH 3 gas-detection strategies applied in the fields of individual healthcare and industrial production, chemiresistive gas sensors gain the most popularity owing to the superior merits of low cost, convenient signal processing and high sensitivity. However, severe challenges still exist such as elevated operation temperature (>200 °C), limited sensitivity and unsatisfactory selectivity especially under low-concentration and high-humidity conditions. To overcome these hindrances, a sensing layer of black phosphorus nanosheets (BP)-modified α-MoO 3 nanoflakes was prepared in this work. After subtle optimization of ingredient composition and operation temperature, the composite sensor S2 could recognize NH 3 gas with the concentration spanning from 0.4 to 25 ppm at 40 °C. In particular, a larger mean response (27 % vs. ∼ 2.3 %) with a response/recovery speed of 275/388 s toward 10 ppm NH 3 and lower detection of limit (LoD, 0.4 ppm vs. 10 ppm) was achieved with respect to pure BP counterpart. In addition, excellent repeatability, selectivity, long-term stability and humidity-tolerant features were demonstrated for Sensor S2 . The improved sensing performance after α-MoO 3 incorporation was primarily ascribed to abundant p-n heterojunctions, excellent conductivity of BP and hydrophilic MoO 3 that mitigated the water corrosion effect on susceptible BP nanosheets. This work offers an alternative strategy for sensitive and low-temperature NH 3 detection, and well cater for the demanding requirements of high sensitivity and low-power consumption in the field of novel gas sensors applicable in the future Internet of Things and exhaled breath-oriented medical diagnosis.

P–TiOn–VOm nanowires were grown on nickel foam (NF) via a one-pot hydrothermal method and by further vapor deposition/phosphorization method. It was found that low valence states of titanium oxide and deficient-oxygen coexist in P–TiOn–VOm/NF. Furthermore, (TiO1.25)3.07 (denoted as TiOn) and VO (denoted as VOm) possess similar structures and matched facets, and their epitaxial growth leads to the formation of TiOn/VOm heterostructure with a formation energy of −1.59 eV. P–TiOn–VOm/NF possesses good electron conductivity and electrons can be transferred from Ti to V centers, as evidenced by the DFT calculations and the XPS spectra. As a result, the specific capacity of P–TiOn–VOm/NF can reach 785 C g−1 at 1 A g−1 in the potential range of 0–0.55 V vs. Hg/HgO, which is much larger than those of VOm/NF, P–VOm/NF, and P–TiO2–VOm/NF. On the other hand, the TiOn/VOm heterostructure also favors the separation and transfer of photoinduced electrons and holes, and P–TiOn–VOm/NF exhibits visible-light-driven photoresponse. Under visible light illumination, the specific capacity of P–TiOn–VOm/NF is increased by 6.2% relative to that in the dark. Furthermore, the P–TiOn–VOm/NF//activated carbon (AC) asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) shows an energy density of 37.2 W h kg−1 at a power density of 1 kW kg−1 and excellent cycling performance with 93.6% capacity retention after 10 000 cycles at 5 A g−1, which is comparable to and even superior to those of titanium oxides and vanadium oxides. A promising achievement has been proposed to improve the energy storage performance of P–TiOn–VOm through P-functionalization and O-deficiency in this work.

Renewable β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was immobilized onto the surface of hybrid silica using ethylenediamine as linking groups to construct an adsorbent in water treatment (CD@Si), and the obtained CD@Si was characterized through FT-IR, XPS, EDX, contact angle measurement, TGA, solid-state 13C NMR, SEM, and XRD analyses. The effect of initial pH, contact time on the adsorption performance of CD@Si for p-nitrophenol, and the adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms, adsorption thermodynamics, reusability and adsorption mechanism were investigated systematically, which indicate that the adsorption of p-nitrophenol onto CD@Si is a very fast process. The adsorption equilibrium can be reached in 15 s with an acceptable equilibrium adsorption capacity of 69.6 mg g−1 at pH 7.0, which is much faster than many reported adsorbents based on β-CD. The adsorption of p-nitrophenol onto CD@Si follows the pseudo-second-order model, obeys the Freundlich model, and is a feasible, spontaneous, and exothermic process which is more favorable at lower temperatures. And the formation of an inclusion complex and a hydrogen bond interaction are two origins of p-nitrophenol being adsorbed onto CD@Si. Additionally, CD@Si can be recycled and reused for at least five runs with an acceptable adsorption capacity, and is a very promising adsorbent for the fast adsorption of p-nitrophenol or its analogues from the aqueous phase. Additionally, this work also provides a strategy to increase the adsorption rate of adsorbents based on β-CD.
