Cobalt ferrite/reduced graphene oxide (CoFe 2 O 4 /RGO) nanocomposites were initially prepared by the interaction of alkyne-functionalized CoFe 2 O 4 NPs and azide-functionalized graphene oxide (GO–N 3 ) via the Cu (I)-catalyzed click reaction. The morphology and structure of CoFe 2 O 4 /RGO were investigated by means of XRD, FTIR, TGA, TEM, SEM and the electromagnetic parameters were measured by vector network analyzer. For CoFe 2 O 4 /RGO composites with click reaction, the minimum reflection loss could reach −40 dB at 6.8 GHz with a matching thickness of 4.0 mm, and also it had a bandwidth below −10 dB ranging from 5.8 to 8.5 GHz. The CoFe 2 O 4 /RGO composites with click reaction exhibited better microwave absorbing performance than the physical mixture. Furthermore, the covalent ligation between CoFe 2 O 4 NPs and graphene oxide could make the composites have a promising future in electromagnetic wave absorption materials.

The production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by microbes is an important characteristic for their selection as biocontrol agents against plant pathogens. In this study, we identified the VOCs produced by the biocontrol strain Bacillus amyloliquefaciens T-5 and evaluated their impact on the growth and virulence traits of tomato bacterial wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum. The results showed that the VOCs of strain T-5 significantly inhibited the growth of R. solanacearum in agar medium and in soil. In addition, VOCs significantly inhibited the motility traits, root colonization, biofilm formation, and production of antioxidant enzymes and exopolysaccharides by R. solanacearum . However, no effect of VOCs on the production of hydrolytic enzymes by R. solanacearum was observed. The strain T-5 produced VOCs, including benzenes, ketones, aldehydes, alkanes, acids, and one furan and naphthalene compound; among those, 13 VOCs showed 1–10 % antibacterial activity against R. solanacearum in their produced amounts by T-5; however, the consortium of all VOCs produced on agar medium, in sterilized soil, and in natural soil showed 75, 62, and 85 % growth inhibition of R. solanacearum , respectively. The real-time PCR analysis further confirmed the results when the expression of different virulence- and metabolism-related genes in R. solanacearum cells was decreased after exposure to the VOCs of strain T-5. The results of this study clearly revealed the significance of VOCs in the control of plant pathogens. This information would help to better comprehend the microbial interactions mediated by VOCs in nature and to develop safer strategies to control plant disease.

In this study, a facile one-step synthesis of a novel nanocomposite catalytic film was developed based on silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) immobilized in tannic acid-modified eggshell membrane (Tan-ESM). Tannic acid, as a typical plant polyphenol from oak wood, was first grafted onto ESM fibers to serve as both the reductant and the stabilizer during the synthesis of AgNPs. The morphology, constitution, and thermal stability of the resulting AgNPs@Tan-ESM composites were fully characterized to explain the excellent catalytic efficiency of AgNPs@Tan-ESM composites. These composite catalysts were applied to the degradation of azo dyes which exhibited the high catalytic activity toward Congo red and methyl orange according to the kinetic curves. More importantly, they can be easily recovered and reused for many times because of their good stability.

We report a simple, facile, selective, and highly sensitive colorimetric sensor for nitroguanidine explosive. The colorimetric sensor utilizes the aggregation of creatinine-modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), which was caused by nitroguanidine via hydrogen bond interaction between nitroguanidine and creatinine, leading to a color change from red to blue to colorless dependent on the concentration of nitroguanidine. Under optimum sensing concentrations, the absorbance changes of AuNPs at 519 nm were linear with the concentration of nitroguanidine in the range of 15–55 μM with a correlation coefficient of 0.997. The limit of detection of the colorimetric sensor was 1 μM based on the signal-to-noise of three, which has improved by as much as five orders of magnitude as compared with the traditional volumetric method and up to three orders of magnitude as compared with fluorescence approach as well. Moreover, as low as 15 μM of nitroguanidine can be visually detected by the naked eye without instrumentation. The colorimetric sensor also displayed remarkable selectivity to nitroguanidine against other explosives and common inorganic salts. It was robust and can be employed for reliable sensing of spiked nitroguanidine in real water samples with good recovery and accuracy.

A surfactant structure-directing agent was used to synthesize a hydrophobic mesoporous material (MCM-41-d) at room temperature. As-prepared materials were characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, N 2 adsorption–desorption isotherm analysis, and thermogravimetry (TG). The properties of the samples for adsorption of bisphenol A (BPA) from water were also investigated in detail. The results revealed that pH affected BPA adsorption. Equilibrium and kinetic data were consistent with the Langmuir adsorption and second-order kinetic model, respectively. The adsorption capacity of MCM-41-d was considerably higher than that of MCM-41-c because of its higher hydrophobicity and more abundant adsorption sites. The maximum adsorption capacity of MCM-41-d was as high as 416.7 mg/g, indicating that MCM-41-d can serve as an efficient adsorbent to remove BPA from water.

Visible light-driven photocatalytic inactivation of Escherichia coli was performed using hydroxyapatite-supported Ag 3 PO 4 nanocomposites (Ag 3 PO 4 /HA). The antibacterial performance was evaluated by the methods of zone of inhibition plates and minimum inhibitory concentration test. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were employed to investigate the instability and transformation of the nanocomposite by comparing the crystalline, phase, and the morphology before and after exposure to Luria-Bertani culture medium under visible light irradiation. Ag 3 PO 4 nanoparticles on the support were found to be shortly transformed into AgCl due to high chloride concentration of Luria-Bertani culture medium. The AgCl/HA nanocomposite showed both excellent intrinsic antibacterial performance contributed by the released silver ions and visible light-induced photocatalytic disinfection toward E. coli cells. This dual antibacterial function mechanism was validated by trapping the hydroxyl free radical and detecting the silver ions during the photocatalytic antibacterial process. The morphological change of E. coli cells in different reaction intervals was obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to complementally verify photocatalytic inactivation of E. coli . This work suggests that an essential comparison study is required for the antibacterial materials before and after the photocatalytic inactivation of bacterial cells using Ag 3 PO 4 nanoparticles or Ag 3 PO 4 -related nanocomposites in mediums containing high-concentration chloride ions.

A novel aptasensor labeled with Mn 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb/Er upconversion nanoparticles (NaYF 4 :Yb,Er/Mn UCNPs) was employed in electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) for the sensitive detection of bisphenol A (BPA). The ECL aptasensor was assembled by immobilizing the thiolated aptamers of BPA covalently on a gold nanoparticle (AuNPs)-modified electrode and pairing with complementary DNA labeled with NaYF 4 :Yb,Er/Mn UCNPs. The ECL aptasensor can not only rapidly and accurately detect BPA concentrations from 0.05 to 100 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.037 ng/mL but also provides a new platform for ECL applications based on the use of upconversion nanoparticles as a promising alternative material.
The NaYF4:Yb,Er/Mn UCNPs combining with the BPA aptamer serving as recognition elements create a ECL platform for the sensitive detection of bisphenol A. The change in ECL signals induced by aptamer-target interactions was measured and a significant decrease in intensity was found on interaction with BPA in the concentration range of 0.05 to 100 ng/mL.

The temperature-responsive luminescent nanocomposites were prepared by the combination of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) with lanthanide-polyoxometalates/SiO 2 spheres, exhibiting controlled reversible luminescent behavior with change in temperature. The structures and properties of nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscope, FT-IR, UV-vis, dynamic light scattering and luminescence spectra. The research shows that the nanocomposites in aqueous solution display “on–off” luminescence by simple temperature stimuli. For example, the hybrid nanocomposites of PNIPAM/Eu-polyoxometalate/SiO 2 in aqueous solution show bright red luminescence under UV light, which could be observed by the naked eye when the temperature is below the lower critical solution temperature (LCST), showing the “on” state. However, the red luminescence of nanocomposites in aqueous solution is significantly decreased when temperature is above LCST, showing the “off” state.

A novel β-cyclodextrin functionalized silica gel (SAM-Si-β-CD) was prepared with grafting β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) to silica gel (Si-β-CD) containing salicylamide. It was characterized using XPS, SEM and FT-IR techniques. Variables of batch experiments including pH, temperature, contact time, interfering ions were studied. Langmuir, Freundlich isotherm and kinetic models were suitable to describe the adsorption process. The results showed that the equilibrium adsorption capacity was found to be 6.45 mg g −1 respectively at pH 4.5, equilibrium time 60 min and initial uranium(VI) concentration 25 mg L −1 . Additionally, SAM-Si-β-CD effectively adsorbed UO 2

A hyperbranched stationary phase for hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) has been prepared by grafting polyethylenimine (PEI) onto silica gel (termed as PEI-Sil). Rich primary, secondary, and tertiary amino groups associated with PEI render its good hydrophility. More importantly, the hyperbranched structure of PEI molecule is greatly helpful in improving interaction with polar analytes. For several kinds of model polar compounds, including organic acids, nucleosides, nucleic acid bases, amino acids, cephalosporins, and non-reducing sugars, PEI-Sil demonstrated excellent separation performance in terms of running stability, reproducibility, and separation efficiency (e.g., plate count ~74,000/m). In addition, PEI-Sil also exhibited much better separation selectivity toward inorganic anions when operated in the mode of ion chromatography relative to a commercial amino propyl-bonded column.

Abstract Pd–Ir mesocrystals with rough surface and highly branched structure were synthesized through a facile co-reduction method. The morphology evolution shows the mesocrystals were formed by oriented attachment of nanoparticles, and abundant defects sites as well as synergetic effect between building units were formed during mesocrystals oriented attachment process. Therefore, the supported Pd–Ir mesocrystals show a significant enhancement in catalytic performance in hydrogenation of 2-ethylanthraquinone compared with conventional Pd–Ir nanoparticles. The high activity can be ascribed to high densities of defect sites in Pd–Ir MCs catalyst, which facilitated H 2 activation. In addition, the geometric effect of Pd–Ir MCs catalyst was responsible for inhibiting further hydrogenation of eAQH 2 to undesired consecutive byproducts. Graphical Abstract

A simple and novel method based on recrystallization-sulfurization method has been developed to fabricate Ce 2 S 3 /MoS 2 composite and their structure, morphology and electrochemical performance is researched systematically. The Ce 2 S 3 /MoS 2 composite exhibit enhanced electrochemical performance compared with Ce 2 S 3 and MoS 2 . Among them, Ce 2 S 3 /MoS 2 composite has an initial reversible discharge capacity of 187.5 mAh g −1 , coulombic efficiency of 78.6% and a reversible capacity as high as 636.5 mAh g −1 , coulombic efficiency of 99.7% after 500 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g −1 and the highest discharge capacity of 97.3 mAh g −1 at a high current density of 1000 mA g −1 , showing the best reversible capacity and cycling performance. The results show that the compositing between MoS 2 and Ce 2 S 3 can maintain the stability of the structure during the charge/discharge process and existence of Ce 2 S 3 can enhance the electrical conductivity of Ce 2 S 3 /MoS 2 composite and further improves the reversible capacities, cycling performance and rate performance of Ce 2 S 3 /MoS 2 composite.
