Current chloride-bromine mixed perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) suffered from low luminescence efficiency and instability due to migration-nature of ionic species and high defect density. To tackle these challenges, herein a novel type of CH 3 NH 3 Pb(Cl/Br) 3 PQDs (Cl/Br-PQDs) were synthesized via a two-step method. Briefly, pristine silane-capped Br-PQDs were prepared, followed by anion exchange using oleylammonium chloride (OAm-Cl) and in-situ formation of silica shell. The optimal feeding ratio of Cl/Br was determined to be 1:1, which yielded colloidal Cl/Br-PQDs possessing a strong 464-nm emission, a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 94.6% and ultrahigh stability. The high quantum yield was attributed to efficient defects passivation by doped Cl − ions and silica-shell-locked OAm + ligands, whilst the high stability was to silica-shell-restricted migration of halogen ions. Such a combinational strategy of anion exchange and in-situ growth of silica shell may provide an effective solution for synthesis of mixed PQDs with high quality.

Sodium-ion batteries have been extensively studied due to their high safety and high natural abundance characteristics. Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP) cathode materials, which have extraordinary rate performance and cycle stability, have become among the most promising cathode materials for commercialization. However, due to their low conductivity problem, it is still a serious challenge to develop a nanocrystalline and uniform conductive frame structure. This work reports a confinement reaction strategy derived from the chelation reaction, which can successfully realize electrode materials with adjustable internal NVP grains. The obtained ultrasmall grained carbon frame material showed to have ultrahigh rate performance, and it could reach 101 mAh g −1 at 100C and 100 mA h g −1 after 1800 cycles at 10C rate (capacity retention rate 99%). Moreover, it showed the characteristics of excellent low-temperature performance, and no capacity degradation at − 20 °C after 1000 cycles.

Nanofiltration (NF) technology is attractive in desalting and concentrating dyeing wastewater in the textile industry. A highly efficient NF membrane is critical in reducing the cost of the process. Here, a facile and reliable approach to prepare an NF membrane for the selective separation of dye/salt is proposed by surface grafting of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) on a fresh polyamide (PA) layer after interfacial polymerization (IP). A thin layer of APTES with a thickness of ∼64 nm was found successfully covalently bonded onto the PA surface via esterification and amidation reactions. The thin-film composite (TFC)-1.0 membrane grafted with 10% APTES achieved a high water permeance of 44.8 L m–2 h–1 bar–1, which was 4.7 times higher than that of the control TFC membrane. Interestingly, the rejection of monovalent salt (NaCl, 11.5%) and divalent salt (Na2SO4, 17.2%) decreased significantly, while the rejection for different dyes (Congo red, reactive blue-19, Coomassie blue G-250, and methyl blue) remained over 99.0%. These noticeable changes in separation performances could be attributed to the large pore size of the active layer, resulting from the interference of APTES on the post-cross-linking of a PA network. The poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) filtration experiments confirmed that the mean pore size of the membrane was enlarged significantly from 0.51 to 1.17 nm after surface modification. Finally, the modified membrane showed good long-term stability and excellent separation efficiencies in fractionation of a high salinity Congo red/NaCl (0.2/50 g L–1) mixture. Overall, this work provides a practical strategy to prepare a permeable and selective NF membrane for dye and salt separation by surface grafting of the nascent PA layer.

The corrosion inhibition effect of 3-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole (AMT) on AA2024 aluminium alloy in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution was investigated, and the corrosion inhibition mechanism was revealed. The influence of AMT concentration on the corrosion inhibition performance was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Surface analysis and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra were used to study the adsorption process and corrosion inhibition mechanism of AMT on the alloy surface. Polarization curve and EIS results showed that when the AMT concentration was 1.5 g/L, the corrosion current density (icorr) was the lowest and the resistance of adsorption film (Rf) was the largest, illustrating the highest corrosion inhibition efficiency. Moreover, the adsorption kinetics process of AMT was revealed by SERS measurement, and a positive correlation between the SERS intensity and Rf values of AMT after different immersion time was achieved. It indicated that the efficient adsorption of corrosion inhibitors significantly enhanced the corrosion inhibition performance. Density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics simulations were used to give further insight into the adsorption and inhibition mechanism of AMT on the aluminium alloy surface.

The effects of pH (2.2–8.0) and temperature (25–100 °C) on the instrumental color of a model beverage containing (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) were investigated. As the pH and temperature increased, the lightness ( L *) decreased while the redness and yellowness ( a* and b* , respectively) increased. Using spectral scanning, it was possible to verify that color changes might be related to the structural rearrangement of the EGCG aqueous solution in the system under alkaline and heating conditions. There were 6 key substances identified in the EGCG solutions, among which (2R)-2-Hydroxy-3-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)-1-(3,4,5-trihydroxyphenyl)-1-propanone 2- O -gallate ( m/z 473.0720) and theacitrin C/dehydrotheasinensin AQ ( m/z 911.1340) were identified as key coloring substances. Color changes did not decrease antioxidant activity of the beverage model. These results provide new insights on the mechanism of color change during storage of green tea beverages, and enable the understanding of key contributors to the browning of infusions color in tea beverages for the first time.

Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 with NASICON structure is regarded as a hopeful cathode in sodium-ion batteries (NIBs). Nevertheless, the immanently inferior electronic conductivity significantly restricts its electrochemical performance and practical application. In this work, a facile solid-state sintering approach employing citric acid as both the reduction agent and carbon source has been developed to prepared Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C composite. The influence of different sintering temperatures on the structure, morphology, and electrochemical performance of Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C for NIBs was systematically investigated. The results indicate that the Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C sample calcined at 850 °C (NVP/C-850) presents the best electrochemical property among the as-obtained four NVP/C samples studied. The optimized NVP/C-850 composite exhibits a reversible capacity of 117.4 mAh/g at 0.2 C, and after 100 cycles, capacity retention of 94.7% was kept. Besides, among the four electrodes, NVP/C-850 electrode exhibited smallest resistance and highest Na + diffusion coefficient. Thus, the outstanding results demonstrate potential application of the NVP/C for NIBs.

The high nickel cathode LiNi 0.83 Co 0.06 Mn 0.06 Al 0.05 O 2 (combination of NCM and NCA) coated with the Li + conductor Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 in various mass fractions was prepared via using the typical sol-gel process. The LiNi 0.83 Co 0.06 Mn 0.06 Al 0.05 O 2 after the Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 covering demonstrated the similar crystal structure and particle morphology in comparison with the bare cathode. The electrochemical test results indicated the superior rate capabilities and cycling performances were acquired for the coated cathodes due to the presence of the Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 film on the surface of LiNi 0.83 Co 0.06 Mn 0.06 Al 0.05 O 2 . The 2 wt% Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 covered LiNi 0.83 Co 0.06 Mn 0.06 Al 0.05 O 2 exhibited the greatest electrochemical performance with a large cycle retention rate of 90.9% over 300 cycles at 45 °C, rate capacity of 139.8 mAh g −1 at 5 C current density, and a high capability of 126.5 mAh g −1 at − 30 °C, superior than those (80.9%, 99.8 mAh g −1 , 71.3mAh g −1 accordingly) of the bare cathode. In addition, the safety and environmental reliability tests of pouch batteries suggested the Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 film on the surface of cathode acted as a protective layer to promote the stability for application.

Efficient hydrolysis of β-1,4-glycosidic bonds of cellulose is a pivotal step in biorefineries of cellulosic biomass. In this work, we discovered that paired PdCl2–CuCl exhibited excellent synergetic catalytic activity over the single PdCl2 or CuCl in the hydrolysis of β-1,4-glycosidic bonds in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMim]Cl) and further investigated the catalytic species in this system. The catalytic activity increased and reached a plateau at a CuCl/PdCl2 ratio of 1 with increasing molar ratio of CuCl/PdCl2 while keeping the Pd concentration constant. A combination of experimental evidence based on in situ far-infrared absorption, X-ray absorption, X-ray photoelectron, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies and DFT calculations demonstrate the coupling reaction between [PdIICl4]2– and [CuICl3]2– via the Cl bridge to form the heterometallic complex anion [Cl2PdII–Cl–CuICl2]2–. The heterometallic species is stable during the reaction and maintains its catalytic performance in the presence of various oxygenate additives. Using paired PdCl2–CuCl as a catalyst, the activation energy of hydrolytic cleavage of β-1,4-glycosidic bonds of cellobiose is determined as low as 95.8 kJ/mol. PdCl2–CuCl/[BMim]Cl combined with CrCl3 can be reused five times in cellobiose conversion to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) without an apparent decrease of catalytic activity. The performance of this catalytic system is further verified for efficient cellulose conversion. More than 60% product yield is obtained at 100 °C from the cellulose, affording monosaccharides for efficient production of high value-added chemicals, such as 5-HMF, when CrCl3 is present to catalyze the conversion of glucose to 5-HMF.

In this study, a novel sorbent, 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate functionalised magnetic poly β-cyclodextrin, was successfully synthesised and applied to magnetic solid-phase extraction for the determination of pyrethroids in tea infusions. The sorbent was characterised by transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller measurement. All factors affecting extraction efficiency, such as sorbent amount, extraction time, ionic strength and desorption conditions, were optimised individually. Under the chosen conditions, wide linearity (2.5–500 μg L−1) with determination coefficients ranging from 0.9995 to 0.9999, low limits of detection of 0.32–0.54 μg L−1 and good precision (intra-day: 2.6–7.0%; inter-day: 3.5–7.6%) were achieved for four pyrethroids in tea infusions. The relative recoveries of target analytes in real tea infusion samples were from 70% to 101% with relative standard deviations lower than 9.1%. We conclude that the proposed method is promising in the detection of pyrethroids in tea infusions.

In oil-in-water emulsions, a single phenolic compound has been used as interfacial antioxidant. The co-encapsulated polyphenols may produce more supper stability or bioactivity than a single encapsulated one. This study used epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and resveratrol as model polyphenols with different solubility. Their co-encapsulation in SC particles was analyzed on the basis of particle characterization, loading efficiency, antioxidant activity , polyphenolic microenvironment and retention. When the polyphenols’ concentration was 0.4 mM, 98% EGCG and 68% resveratrol were co-encapsulated in sodium caseinate (SC) particles. The SC particles containing dual polyphenols were then used to stabilize fish oil emulsions, which were analyzed in term of particle characterization, oil oxidation , polyphenolic partition and retention. When the content of fish oil was 10%, there were 77% resveratrol in the emulsified oil droplets and 87% EGCG at the oil-water interface. The co-encapsulated EGCG improved the stability of resveratrol in SC particles and protected fish oil emulsions against oxidation prior to resveratrol. These results are instructive for the combination of multiple bioactive compounds for the applications in foods and pharmaceuticals.

Exploration of new types of borates is important because of their promising applications in diverse fields. Two new boroselenites, namely, M(B(SeO3)3)H2O (M = Al, Ga), which represent the first IIIA metal boroselenite, were synthesized by hydrothermal reactions. M(B(SeO3)3)H2O (M = Al, Ga) possesses a unique sandwich like double-layer structure formed by two 2D [MSe2O8]5− layers interconnected by 1D [BSeO5]3− chains. More interestingly, both compounds display large band gaps (4.86/4.79 eV) and moderate birefringences (Δn = 0.063/0.064 at 1064 nm) based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Ni2+-NTA-boosted magnetic porous silica nanoparticles (Ni@MSN) to serve as ideal support for bi-functional enzyme were fabricated for the first time. The versatility of this support was validated by one-step purification and immobilization of bi-functional enzyme MLG consisting of 3-Quinuclidinone reductase and glucose dehydrogenase, which can simultaneously catalyze both carbonyl reduction and cofactor regeneration, to fabricate an artificial bi-functional nanobiocatalyst (namely, MLG-Ni@MSN). The enzyme loading of 71.7 mg/g support and 92.7% immobilization efficiency were obtained. Moreover, the immobilized MLG showed wider pH and temperature tolerance and greater storage stability than free MLG under the same conditions. The nanosystem was employed as biocatalyst to accomplish the 3-quinuclidinone (70 g/L) to (R)-3-quinuclidinol biotransformation in 100% conversion yield with >99% selectivity within 6 h and simultaneous cofactor regeneration. Furthermore, the immobilized MLG retained up to 80.3% (carbonyl reduction) and 78.0% (cofactor regeneration) of the initial activity after being recycled eight times. In addition, the MLG-Ni@MSN system exhibited almost no enzyme leaching during biotransformation and recycling. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the Ni@MSN support gave great promise for constructing a new biocatalytic nanosystem with multifunctional enzymes to achieve some other complex bioconversions.Keywords:porous silica nanoparticles;immobilized enzyme;nanosystem;cofactor regeneration;(R)-3-quinuclidinol;biocatalysts’ recycling
