We developed a new electrochemical sensor based on TiO 2 and polypyrrole (PPy) molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) nanocomposites for the high selective detection of p-nonylphenol in food samples, which is considered as a kind of endocrine disrupting chemical and harmful to human health. With p-nonylphenol as template molecules, the molecularly imprinted polymer was synthesized by the chemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole and deposited on the surface of TiO 2 nanoparticles to form partially encapsulated PPy@TiO 2 nanocomposites, denoted as NP-PPy@TiO 2 MIP. p-Nonylphenol was bound in the PPy matrix through hydrogen bond and π-π interaction between p-nonylphenol and PPy skeleton. NP-PPy@TiO 2 MIP nanocomposites were modified onto glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and p-nonylphenol molecules were excluded from PPy layers by potentiostatic sweeping at the potential of 1.3 V. The as-prepared electrochemical sensor obtained a large amount of micro cavities in PPy layer which could specially recognize and combine target molecules p-nonylphenol. After special adsorption of p-nonylphenol from samples, p-nonylphenol embedded in the PPy layer exhibited a strong differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) response at 0.56 V, which can be used for the detection of p-nonylphenol with a linearly proportional concentration range of 1.0 × 10 −8 to 8 × 10 −5 mol/L and a detection limit of 3.91 × 10 −9 mol/L. The good stability, reproducibility and specificity of the resulting MIP electrochemical sensor are demonstrated. It might open a new window for investigation of selectively electrochemical sensing of small organic molecules from their analogues with the molecular imprinting technique.

The mesoporous SBA-15 has long been used as an adsorbent for the removal of toxic metal ions. Achieving secondary utilize of spent adsorbent is undoubtedly an advisible option for environmental protection and recycling economy. In the present study, phosphoric acid-modified SBA-15 (P-SBA-15) was found to be an available adsorbent, and the composites (Cr3+/P-SBA-15) formed after adsorption of Cr3+ ions have the ability to efficiently catalyze the conversion of xylose and xylan into furfural. The physicochemical properties of the Cr3+/P-SBA-15 composites were characterized, and the effects of various reaction parameters on their catalytic performance were also investigated. Among the Cr3+/P-SBA-15 composites with different Cr3+ contents, the (0.25)Cr3+/P-SBA-15 composite not only achieved excellent 91% and 58% furfural yields from xylose and xylan, but also had almost constant catalytic performance after five cycles. The findings herein provided a reference for achieving high yields of furfural and reuse of spent adsorbents.

To enhance the interfacial adhesion between poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA) fibers and a rubber matrix without damaging the fiber structures, aminated carbon nanotubes (NH2-CNTs) were mildly deposited onto the fiber surface by combining the biomimetic modification of dopamine via the Michael addition reaction. Furthermore, differences between the “one-step” method and the “two-step” method were researched through adjusting the addition sequence of NH2-CNTs. The surface morphologies and chemical structures of PPTA fibers before and after modification were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The mechanical properties of fibers and the adhesive properties with rubber were tested using an electronic tensile tester of single-filament and universal testing machine, respectively. After modification by the “one-step” method for 24 h, the single-filament tensile strength of the modified fibers increased by 16.5%, meanwhile, the pull-out force of the modified fibers to rubber increased by approximately 59.7%. Compared with the “two-step” method, the “one-step” method had superiority due to the short reaction time and the large deposition rate of CNTs.Keywords:poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) fibers;dopamine biomimetic modification;aminated carbon nanotubes;interfacial adhesion

BACKGROUND Shortawn foxtail ( Alopecurus aequalis Sobol.) is a competitive grass weed infesting winter wheat- and canola-growing fields in China. In May 2016, a suspected A. aequalis resistant population AHTC-06 that survived fenoxaprop- P -ethyl and mesosulfuron-methyl applied at their field-recommended rates was collected from a wheat field in Jinji County, Anhui Province, China. This study aimed to determine the resistance profile of this AHTC-06 population to ACCase- and ALS-inhibitors, and to investigate its mechanisms of resistance to fenoxaprop- P -ethyl and mesosulfuron-methyl. RESULTS Two mutations, a common Ile-2041-Asn ( ACCase gene) and a very rare Pro-197-Tyr ( ALS1 gene), were both identified in resistant individual plants. The homozygous subpopulation AHTC-06F1 for the two mutations was generated, and it showed broad-spectrum resistance to APPs, DENs, and ALS-inhibiting herbicides of all five chemical families tested, with resistance index (RI) values that ranged from 2.2 to 36.5. In vitro ALS activity assays showed the ALS from the resistant population was insensitive to all the tested ALS inhibitors, with RI values ranging from 3.10 to 22.51. Pre-treatment with piperonyl butoxide (PBO) and malathion significantly ( P < 0.05) reversed the weed's resistance to fenoxaprop- P -ethyl and mesosulfuron-methyl, respectively. Two P450 genes, c21190_g1 and c43350_g3 , were constitutively overexpressed and mesosulfuron-methyl-induced upregulated in resistant plants, for which c43350_g3 was also fenoxaprop- P -ethyl-induced upregulated. CONCLUSION This study confirms the first case of a grass weed featuring broad-spectrum resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides due to a Pro-197-Tyr mutation in the ALS gene. Fenoxaprop- P -ethyl and mesosulfuron-methyl resistances in AHTC-06 plants were conferred by target site mutations and P450s-based metabolism. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry

Echinacoside is a natural ingredient with various pharmacological activities . In this study, we investigated the protective effects of echinacoside on cardiomyocytes (rat H9c2 cells) in an anoxia/reperfusion (A/R) model. Further, the regulatory function of sodium-calcium exchanger protein 3 (SLC8A3/NCX3) as well as the protein kinase B (AKT) signaling were studied. The present results indicated that echinacoside protected against A/R-induced apoptosis in a dose manner, which was characterized by a decrease in the apoptosis and caspase 3 protein levels in H9c2 cells. Further, Ca 2+ uptake were dose-dependently reduced in H9c2 cells by echinacoside under A/R conditions. Whereas, relative mRNA expression of SLC8A3 and protein levels of SLC8A3 and p-AKT showed opposite tendency. On the one hand, the A/R-induced abnormalities in H9c2 cells were remarkably ameliorated by activated p-AKT and over-expression of SLC8A3 but aggravated by inhibited p-AKT, and the aggravated effection were ameliorated by echinacoside. Moreover, protein levels of SLC8A3 were positively regulated by p-AKT signaling. On the other hand, apoptosis and Ca 2+ uptake as well as protein levels of caspase 3 were significantly increased by SLC8A3 silencing in H9c2 cells under normoxic conditions, and this symptom was remarkably reversed by echinacoside or Nimodipine (an antagonis of Ca 2+ ) treatment . Collectively, echinacoside has showed a cardioprotective effect against A/R treatment in a dose dependent manner in vitro, and this cardioprotective effect was potentially achieved via up-regulating p-AKT and SLC8A3.

In this work, a new “signal-on” split-type photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing platform for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) detection was successfully constructed using p-type Cu-doped Zn 0.3 Cd 0.7 S as the photosensitive semiconductor material and target-triggered rolling circle amplification (RCA) for signal amplification . The signal derived from Cu-doped Zn 0.3 Cd 0.7 S was amplified by hemin/G-quadruplex. Upon target PSA introduction, the aptamer-primer probe (apt-pri) was captured by capture antibody-conjugated magnetic bead (MB-mAb) to form the sandwiched MB-mAb/PSA/apt-pri. The complex could initiate the RCA reaction to produce a long single-stranded DNA that provided binding sites for G-rich DNA and to form long single-stranded DNA/G-quadruplex/hemin. Upon the addition of exonuclease III (Exo III), the hemin/G-quadruplex immobilized on the RCA long product could be released by the digestion of Exo III. The hemin/G-quadruplex complexes in this study were used as efficient electron acceptors to neutralize the photoelectrons generated from the semiconductor and hindered the recombination of charges, thus enhancing the photocurrent . Under the optimum conditions, the developed sensing system displayed a good analytical performance with a linear range of 0.05–40 ng mL −1 PSA and a detection limit of 16.3 pg mL −1 . Furthermore, good selectivity , high anti-interference ability, satisfactory reproducibility, and good accuracy were also achieved. These prominent analytical properties revealed that our strategy might be a potential and reliable tool for the detection of PSA.

Novel n-SrTiO 3 /p-BiOI heterojunction composites were successfully fabricated by loading SrTiO 3 particles onto the surface of BiOI nanoflakes via a two-step method. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-disperse X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and electrochemical measurements. The results show that the n-SrTiO 3 /p-BiOI heterojunction composites are composed of perovskite structure SrTiO 3 and tetragonal phase BiOI. The composites exhibit excellent photocatalytic performance for the degradation of crystal violet (CV) solution under simulated solar light irradiation, which is superior to that of pristine BiOI and SrTiO 3 . The 30 wt.%SrTiO 3 /BiOI composite is found to be the optimal composite, over which the dye degradation reaches 92.5% for 30 min of photocatalysis. The photocatalytic activity of the 30 wt.%SrTiO 3 /BiOI composite is found to be 3.94 times and 28.2 times higher than that of bare BiOI and SrTiO 3 , respectively. The reactive species trapping experiments suggest that • O 2 − and holes are the main active species responsible for the CV degradation. In addition, the electrochemical measurements elucidate the effective separation of photoinduced electron–hole pairs. Moreover, on the basis of experimental and theoretical results, a possible mechanism for the enhanced photocatalytic performance of the SrTiO 3 /BiOI heterojunction composites is also proposed.

As the electronic industry developed rapidly, greater demands are required on the performance of dielectric composites, such as high permittivity, low dielectric loss, and high-energy density. Improving the compatibility of fillers in polymer matrix and uniform distribution of the electric field could increase the permittivity of such composites. Therefore, BaTiO 3 nanoparticles were coated by TiO 2 sol to fabricate BaTiO 3 @TiO 2 core-shell structured fillers in this paper. BaTiO 3 @TiO 2 fillers with gradient permittivity were firstly modified by dopamine in order to disperse in the composites homogeneously and adhere to poly(vinylidene fluoride- co -hexafluoropropylene) (P(VDF-HFP)) matrix tightly. At 1 kHz, the permittivity of the composite with 20 vol% BaTiO 3 @TiO 2 was 32.15, obviously larger than that of pure P(VDF-HFP) (6.92), and the dielectric loss was just 0.052. Consequently, the discharged energy density of the composite was enhanced to 0.23 J/cm 3 at 40 kV/mm, which was two times higher than that of pure P(VDF-HFP). This work provides a feasible approach to prepare high-performance dielectric composites.

In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to capacitive deionization (CDI) and significant developments have been made as a result of the high efficiency and relatively low cost of this technique. While carbon materials have been regarded as promising CDI electrodes, their high hydrophobicity and low accessible surface area hinder further enhancement of salt adsorption capacity. To overcome this issue, we prepared herein highly hydrophilic N, P co-doped 3D hierarchical carbon architectures derived from graphene oxide, gallic acid, phytic acid (P source), and chitosan (N source) by an ingenious technique. Highly efficient removal of ions from saline water using N, P co-doped 3D hierarchical carbon architectures via capacitive deionization has been demonstrated for the first time. The N, P co-doped 3D hierarchical carbon architectures delivered very high specific adsorption capacities (up to 26.8 mg g−1 at 1.2 V). The electrochemical performance remained nearly unchanged after 10 000 consecutive galvanostatic charge–discharge cycles, revealing good deionization stability and reusability. We believe that this work is of great significance to expand the access to freshwater resources in water-scarce regions.

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) based polymer/ceramic nanocomposites for high energy density dielectrics have long been plagued by their low discharging efficiency (40–60%), which originates from the matrix with high bulk ferroelectric relaxation and the high-k ceramics with large conduction loss. In this work, a linear-like PVDF-based polymer dielectric is synthesized through grafting poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) onto main chains of poly(vinyl fluoride-trifluoroethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE-CTFE)) terpolymer via an atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) process. PMMA grafted terpolymer (P(VDF-TrFE-CTFE)-g-PMMA) shows linear-like dielectric characteristics accompanied with greatly enhanced discharging efficiency of ∼80% under 250 MV/m, which is over 100% higher than that of pristine terpolymer. To further improve its breakdown strength and discharging efficiency, the grafted terpolymer are then compounded with ultrasonic-exfoliated mica nanosheets ( e Mica) by solution-cast method. Thanks to the low hysteresis loss of linear-like dielectric matrix and the high insulating 2D mica nanosheets, the composite with the highest discharging efficiency of ∼78% under 250 MV/m is achieved. The maximum energy density of the optimized composite reaches 9.6 J/cm 3 , which is nearly 290% that of the pristine terpolymer. Besides, its discharging efficiency is about 74% under 450 MV/m, which is much more advantageous than the other PVDF-based polymer/ceramics composite dielectrics. This work suggests that utilizing polymer matrix with linear dielectric property and fillers with high insulating 2D structure might be a facile strategy to achieve composite dielectrics with simultaneously high energy density and high discharging efficiency.

An efficient and facile method to fabricate a surficial dispersive heterojunction based on the assembly of g-C3N4 nanoparticles was proposed. A p–n nano heterojunction composed of BiOI and g-C3N4 was constructed by simply loading g-C3N4 nanoparticles on flower-like BiOI nanosheets. The structure-dependent optical, electronic and photoelectric properties were investigated, and the structure–property relationship was discussed. The results show that the g-C3N4 nanoparticles are uniformly loaded on the surface of BiOI nanosheets and thus form a p–n heterojunction with an intimate interface. The as-prepared samples exhibit enhanced photocatalytic degradation ability towards MO under visible-light irradiation. With the unique structure and morphology, enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activities are achieved owing to the synergistic effect of light harvesting, high transfer efficiency and enhanced separation efficiency of photo-generated carriers.

Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a prospective technique for desalination of saline water on account of its lower cost, lower energy-consumption, and absence of secondary pollution. In this work, capacitive deionization of saline water using N, P, S co-doped hollow carbon polyhedra derived from MOF-based core–shell nanocomposites has been demonstrated. N, P, S co-doped hollow carbon polyhedra were rationally designed and originally synthesized from MOF-based core–shell nanocomposites by using poly(cyclotriphosphazene-co-4,4′-sulfonyldiphenol) coated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (denoted as ZIF-8@PZS-C). Choosing poly(cyclotriphosphazene-co-4,4′-sulfonyldiphenol) as an N, P, S co-doping source and carbon source, and ZIF-8 as a structural template which also acts as an additional N-doping source, ZIF-8@PZS-C was created with a superior hollow structure, high surface area, improved electrical conductivity and an excellent hydrophilic surface. Due to the multi-synergy of these characteristics, the ZIF-8@PZS-C electrodes have lower internal impedance, larger specific capacitance and great cycling stability. What's more, the ZIF-8@PZS-C electrodes display a high salt electrosorption performance of 22.19 mg g−1 at 1.2 V in a NaCl solution of 500 mg L−1. Furthermore, the as-prepared electrodes exhibit good stability and regeneration performance. Hence, the N, P, S co-doped hollow carbon polyhedra should be considered as a promising alternative electrode material for capacitive deionization. This work may open the door for the application of multiple heteroatom co-doped hollow carbon materials for the deionization of saline water.
