Herein, we provide the first report on the effects of Ce 3+ addition on the fluorescence of copper nanoclusters (CuNCs), which have excellent optical properties and lower toxicity as compared to AgNCs and AuNCs. We synthesized glutathione-encapsulated copper nanoclusters (GSH-CuNCs) using a simple one-pot chemical reduction approach. The excitation/emission wavelengths of the GSH-CuNCs were 350/650 nm. Introduction of Ce 3+ triggered an aggregation-induced emission of GSH-CuNCs due to formation of GSH-CuNCs-Ce 3+ complexes, resulting in a prominent fluorescence enhancement (~42-fold) of the mixed system. Fluorescent intensities (FIs) for the GSH-CuNCs-Ce 3+ system were significantly quenched by introduction of p -nitrophenol ( p -NP). The aforementioned quenching mechanism resulted from an inner-filter effect producing nearly unchanged fluorescence lifetime and overlap between UV–Vis absorption of Ce 3+ and the excitation wavelength of GSH-CuNCs. Consequently, a GSH-CuNCs-Ce 3+ -based “ON-OFF” platform was constructed for fluorescent detection of p -NP in water matrices. Under optimized conditions (5-min incubation time, pH = 5.6, 20 mM Ce 3+ ), the FIs of the GSH-CuNCs-Ce 3+ system were linear for p -NP concentrations from 0.5 to 500 μM and achieved a low detection limit of 0.17 μM. Moreover, the as-constructed nanofluoroprobe demonstrated high stability and specificity to p -NP, thereby offering a simple, cheap and robust experimental method for conventional monitoring of p -NP at trace levels in real-world water samples.

A BiFeO 3 /TiO 2 p-n heterojunction photocatalyst with ferroelectric synergistic effect under visible-light irradiation was developed through facile hydrolysis and precipitation by forming nanospheres of TiO 2 on BiFeO 3 nanocube to improve the photocatalytic efficiency. Analyses of the microstructure, optical properties , and photoelectrochemical performance indicate the formation of a core–shell heterostructure of BiFeO 3 /TiO 2 with excellent energy band matching. The BiFeO 3 /TiO 2 p-n heterojunction has enlarged specific surface area, higher sensitivity to visible-light, and improved separation and transfer efficiency of photoelectron-hole pairs than single TiO 2 and BiFeO 3 . Moreover, the composite exhibits superior photocatalytic degradation performance for methylene blue (MB) and common antibiotic tetracycline (TC) under UV and visible-light irradiation. The MB degradation rate within 180 min reaches 78.4% and 90.4% under UV and visible-light irradiation, respectively. Furthermore, the enhanced photocatalytic mechanism of BiFeO 3 /TiO 2 is explored by photoluminescence (PL), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), transient photocurrent analysis, radical quenching, and band structure characterization.

The determination of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) based on electrochemical sensors is highly attractive in the fields of environmental monitoring and biosensing, however development of non-precious metal-based electrocatalysts with high performances remains challenging. Here, a new non-enzymatic H 2 O 2 sensor has been reported by using Fe 2 P modified N,P co-doped carbon (Fe 2 P/NP-C) materials as sensing materials. Fe 2 P/NP-C materials were synthesized by pyrolysis of polydopamine coating Fe-based coordination polymer nanoparticles, which were obtained by direct mixing FeCl 3 and sodium hexametaphosphate at room temperature. The electrochemical tests display that Fe 2 P/NP-C-based non-enzymatic H 2 O 2 sensor exhibited detection limit of 60 μM and linear range from 0.1 mM to 1 mM, respectively. This work presents a new avenue to design of non-precious metal-based electrocatalysts for chemical sensing and biosensing applications.

Silicon (Si) with high theoretical capacity has attracted much attention as anode materials of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the tendency of Si particles to easily expand leads to the rapid attenuation of capacity, which greatly limits their practical applications. In this work, the nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) doped Si/CNTs carbon nanofibers (Si/CNTs/CNFs) composites has been fabricated and explored as electrode material for LIBs. N, P doped Si/CNTs/CNFs composites possess unique fiber network structure with suitable space, which can effective buffer volume expand during charge-discharge process. By evaluating lithium storage performances of N, P doped Si/CNTs/CNFs composites as Li-ion battery electrodes, excellent rate performance with a capacity of 529 mA h g −1 (at 5.0 A g −1 ) and remarkable cycling performance of 1142 m Ah g −1 after the 100 cycles (at 0.2 A g −1 ) are obtained. Such outstanding performances can be attributed to the unique fiber network structure and the doping of N and P, which provides a new avenue for the studies of high-performance Si based anode materials of LIBs.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) possesses unique electronic and optical properties in the visible-light-driven production of H2O2. However, bulk g-C3N4 suffers from inefficient sunlight absorption and low carrier mobility. Herein, P doped g-C3N4 with a hollow sphere architecture was synthesized. The hollow sphere structure provides a large accessible surface area for charge transfer and enhances photo-absorption properties. Particularly, the doped P can regulate the energy band structure with stronger reducibility for O2 activation and accelerate photo-generated carrier separation. Meanwhile, the P heteroatom is beneficial to produce 1,4-endoperoxide species more easily and enhance selectivity for H2O2 synthesis through a two-electron O2 reduction process. The resultant catalyst exhibits a high H2O2 production rate of 174 μmol h−1 g−1 in pure water and 1684 μmol h−1 g−1 with isopropanol as a hole scavenger, which are 7.5 and 11.2 times those of bulk g-C3N4. This work provides a new avenue for the design and modification of other photocatalysts for H2O2 production.

CoP and Co 2 P were prepared by temperature-programmed reduction of the mixtures of Co(OH) 2 and H 3 PO 3 with stoichiometric P/Co ratios, but their surfaces were still enriched in phosphorus. Based on the product distributions of the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of dibenzothiophene (DBT), 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-dibenzothiophene (TH-DBT), and 1,2,3,4,4a,9b-hexahydro-dibenzothiophene (HH-DBT), a reaction network of DBT HDS was proposed and the mechanisms of the cleavage of different C S bonds in DBT and its hydrogenated intermediates were discussed. CoP was much more active and more nitrogen-tolerant than Co 2 P, which make it a promising HDS catalyst. The HDS reactions over CoP and Co 2 P followed a pseudo-first-order kinetics and a pseudo-zero-order kinetics, respectively. Piperidine strongly inhibited the hydrogenation/dehydrogenation reactions and the direct desulfurization of DBT, but its inhibition on the desulfurization of TH-DBT and HH-DBT were less pronounced. The active surfaces of CoP and Co 2 P in HDS reactions can be cobalt phosphosulfide phases.

Cadmium is an environmental metal pollutant that has been a focus of research in recent years, which is reported to cause bone disease; however, its skeletal toxicity and the mechanism involved are not yet fully known. Therefore, this study used MC3T3-E1 subclone 14 cells to determine the mechanism of cadmium toxicity on bone. Cadmium chloride (Cd) significantly reduced cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner. Exposure to Cd inhibited osteoblast-related proteins (Runx2, Col-1, STC2) and decreased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. Cd caused Exportin-1 accumulation and induced DNA damage. Cd significantly down-regulated caspase 9 and induced cleaved-PARP, cleaved-caspase 3 protein level. Treatment with JNK inhibitor, SP600125, suppressed cadmium-induced elevation in the ratio of phosphorylation of JNK to JNK. Inhibition of caspase with pan-caspase inhibitor, Z-VAD-FMK, prevented MC3T3-E1 subclone 14 cells from cadmium-induced reduction of Runx2, STC2, caspase 9, and accumulation of cleaved PARP and cleaved caspase 3. Cd-induced cell survival enhanced by SP600125 but rescued by Z-VAD-FMK or KPT-335. These results suggest that cadmium cytotoxicity on bone involved exportin 1 accumulation, phosphorylation of JNK, induction of DNA damage and pro-apoptosis, which was induced by activation of caspase-dependent pathways.

Hierarchically structured two-dimensional magnetic microporous biochar (MMBC) derived from a biomass hazelnut shell was prepared and employed for effective adsorption of a typical organoarsenic compound p-arsanilic acid (p-ASA). By a simultaneous ZnCl 2 activation and FeCl 3 graphitization method, the as-fabricated MMBC possessed a hierarchical structure composed by two-dimensional graphene oxide-like flakes, a high specific surface area of 1172.7 m 2 g −1 and good ferromagnetic behavior. Adsorption batch experiments revealed that the MMBC had a higher adsorption capacity of 218.2 mg g −1 and removal efficiency of 87.3% toward the p-ASA than those of the pristine biochar (BC) and the microporous biochar without FeCl 3 graphitization (MBC). The adsorption kinetics dates were fitted well by the pseudo-second-order adsorption model, and the adsorption isotherms conformed well to both Langmuir and Freundlich model. Due to the rich oxygen-containing functional groups (C-O, C = O, Fe-O, Zn-O) and the complex Fe-based components, the adsorption mechanism is proposed to involve synergism between pore adsorption, electrostatic interactions, π-π interactions, hydrogen bonding and coordination interactions. Considering the easy access to biomass and high adsorption capacity to p-ASA, the current MMBC would have good potential applications for controlling the risk of organoarsenic compounds such as p-ASA in aquatic environment.

For reversing the treatment failure in P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-associated MDR (multidrug resistance) of breast cancer, a high dose of Lapatinib (Lap), a substrate of breast cancer-resistant protein, was encapsulated into safe and effective acid-cleavable polysaccharide–doxorubicin (Dox) conjugates to form targeted HPP-Dox/Lap nanoparticles with an optimal drug ratio and appropriate nanosize decorated with oligomeric hyaluronic acid (HA) for specially targeting overexpressed CD44 receptors of MCF-7/ADR. The markedly increased cellular uptake and the strongest synergetic cytotoxicity revealed the enhanced reversal efficiency of HPP-Dox/Lap nanoparticles with reversal multiples at 29.83. This was also verified by the enhanced penetrating capacity in multicellular tumor spheroids. The reinforced Dox retention and substantial down-regulation of P-gp expression implied the possible mechanism of MDR reversal. Furthermore, the efficient ex vivo accumulation and distribution of nanoparticles in the tumor site and the high tumor growth inhibition (93%) even at a lower dosage (1 mg/kg) as well as lung metastasis inhibition in vivo with negligible side effects revealed the overwhelming advantages of targeted polysaccharide nanoparticles and Lap-sensitizing effect against drug-resistant tumor. The development of an efficient and nontoxic-targeted polysaccharide delivery system for reversing MDR by synergistic therapy might provide a potential clinical application value.

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have been attracting intensive interest due to their unique physical and optoelectronic properties. Van der Waals nanolayered heterostructures based on different 2D nanomaterials provide a state-of-the-art platform for investigating the physical phenomena and have extended the applications of 2D nanomaterials, leading to an era of next-generation high-performance electronic and optoelectronic technology. Herein, vertical 2D SnS/SnS2 p–n and SnSe2/SnS2 n–n nanolayered heterostructures are constructed by exfoliating individual materials and stacking them artificially. The two types of back-gate field-effect phototransistors show clear rectifying behaviors with the existence of band offset and excellent optoelectronic performances. The SnS/SnS2 p–n nanolayered heterostructure shows an ambipolar behavior with a hole mobility of 6.96 cm2·V–1·s–1 and electron mobility of 0.68 cm2·V–1·s–1, while the SnSe2/SnS2 n–n nanolayered heterostructure shows an intense n-type behavior with electron mobility of 3.78 cm2·V–1·s–1 and a high on/off ratio of over 105. Interestingly, due to the band alignments and built-in potentials in the two types of nanolayered heterostructures, the phototransistors exhibit enhanced responsive performances to illuminations of three-primary-color lasers (λ = 405, 532, and 650 nm) compared to the individual components. The SnS/SnS2 phototransistor shows a high photoresponsivity of 3567 A W–1, a high detectivity of 3.64 × 1013 Jones, and a fast response time of 0.8 ms. The SnSe2/SnS2 phototransistor also exhibits a high photoresponsivity of 1793 A W–1 and a fast response time of 15.4 ms.

Microplastics (MPs) are persistent contaminants in aquatic environments. Microalgae, as the main phytoplankton and primary producers, usually co-exist with MPs. Despite previous studies that have proved the interaction of MPs and microalgae, it is largely unknown whether MPs can be uptake into cells of microalgae. In this study, both marine P. helgolandica var. tsingtaoensis and freshwater microalgae S. quadricauda were respectively exposed to 10 mg/L polystyrene microbeads with five diameter sizes: 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 μm. Confocal laser scanning and 3D image analysis showed that mean 24.0 % or 11.3 % cells of P. helgolandica var. tsingtaoensis contained 1.0 μm or 2.0 μm MPs after 72 h exposure. While mean 43.3 % or 15.3 % of S. quadricauda individuals engulfed 1.0 μm or 2.0 μm MPs within cells. But, none of 3.0–5.0 μm MPs were observed within algal cells. These results demonstrate the size-dependent cellular internalization of MPs in microalgae. Exposure to 1.0–2.0 μm PS MPs caused a significant reduction in the density of microalgae and influenced photosynthesis, which suggests cellular internalization of MPs can influence algal fertility and growth. This discovery first confirms cellular internalization of MPs in phytoplankton, of significance for the fate and eco-toxicity of MPs in the aquatic ecosystem.

Hydrogen production by photoreforming of biomass-derived ethanol is a renewable way of obtaining clean fuel. We developed a site-specific deposition strategy to construct supported Au catalysts by rationally constructing Ti3+defects inTiO2nanorods and Cu2O-TiO2p-n junction across the interface of two components. The Au nanoparticles (~2.5 nm) were selectively anchored onto either TiO2nanorods (Au@TiO2/Cu2O) or Cu2O nanocubes (Au@Cu2O/TiO2) or both TiO2and Cu2O (Au@TiO2/Cu2O@Au) with the same Au loading. The electronic structure of supported Au species was changed by forming Au@TiO2interface due to the adjacent Ti3+defects and the associated oxygen vacancies while unchanged in Au@Cu2O/TiO2catalyst. The p-n junction of TiO2/Cu2O promoted charge separation and transfer across the junction. During ethanol photoreforming, Au@TiO2/Cu2O catalyst possessing both the Au@TiO2interface and the p-n junction showed the highest H2production rate of 8548 μmol gcat−1h−1under simulated solar light, apparently superior to both Au@TiO2and Au@Cu2O/TiO2catalyst. The acetaldehyde was produced in liquid phase at an almost stoichiometric rate, and C−C cleavage of ethanol molecules to form CH4or CO2was greatly inhibited. Extensive spectroscopic results support the claim that Au adjacent to surface Ti3+defects could be active sites for H2production and p-n junction of TiO2/Cu2O facilitates photo-generated charge transfer and further dehydrogenation of ethanol to acetaldehyde during the photoreforming.Keywords:ethanol reforming;hydrogen production;Au catalyst;Ti3+defect;site-specific deposition
