To reduce emission of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) mainly produced from the combustion of nitrogen compounds (NCs) in fossil fuels, it is necessary to decrease the NCs content in fossil fuels. 2-Pyrrolidone-based protic ionic liquids (PrILs) with three different anions were synthesized by a one-step method. The three PrILs were used as extractants to extract pyridine from the model mixtures. The extraction efficiency ( EE ) was considered to evaluate the extraction performance of the PrILs. The interactions between the PrILs and pyridine were analyzed by σ-profiles, bond length, and deformation charge density. The results show that the hydrogen bond (H-bond) formed between pyridine and the three PrILs is the main driving force for the extraction of pyridine from the model mixtures.

To explore the effect of spacer structure on the adsorption capability of organo-vermiculites (organo-Vts), a series of aza-containing gemini surfactants (5N, 7N and 8N) are applied to modify Na-vermiculite (Na-Vt). Large interlayer spacing, strong binding strength and high modifier availability are observed in organo-Vts, which endow them with superiority for the adsorption of 2-naphthol (2-NP) and bromophenol blue (BPB). The maximum adsorption capacities of 5N-Vt, 7N-Vt and 8N-Vt toward 2-NP/BPB are 142.08/364.49, 156.61/372.65 and 146.50/287.90 mg/g, respectively, with the adsorption processes well fit by the PSO model and Freundlich isotherm. The quicker adsorption equilibrium of 2-NP than BPB is due to the easier diffusion of smaller 2-NP molecules into the interlayer space of organo-Vts. Moreover, stable regeneration of 7N-Vt is verified, with feasibility in the binary-component system that is demonstrated. A combination of theoretical simulation and characterization is conducted to reveal the adsorption mechanism; the adsorption processes are mainly through partition processes, electrostatic interaction and functional interactions, in which the spacer structure affects the interlayer environment and adsorptive site distribution, whereas the adsorbate structure plays a role in the diffusion process and secondary intermolecular interactions. The results of this study demonstrate the versatile applicability of aza-based organo-Vts targeted at the removal of phenols and dyes as well as provide theoretical guidance for the structural optimization and mechanistic exploration of organo-Vt adsorbents.Keywords:organo-vermiculite;aza-containing gemini surfactant;2-Naphthol;bromophenol blue;adsorption

Hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles have been widely applied as a carrier material in the molecular imprinting process because of their excellent properties, with high specific surface area and well-defined active centers. However, these kinds of materials face the inevitable problem that they have low mass transfer efficiency and cannot be conveniently recycled. In order to solve this problem, this work has developed a composite hydrogel microsphere (MMHSG) encapsulated with hollow mesoporous imprinted nanoparticles for the selective extraction of 2’-deoxyadenosine (dA). Subsequently, the hollow mesoporous imprinted polymers using dA as template molecule and synthesized 5-(2-carbomethoxyvinyl)-2′-deoxyuridine (AcrU) as functional monomer were encapsulated in hydrogel. MMHSG displayed good performance in specifically recognizing and quickly separating dA, whereas no imprinting effect was observed among 2′-deoxyguanosine (dG), deoxycytidine (dC), or 5′-monophosphate disodium salt (AMP). Moreover, the adsorption of dA by MMHSG followed chemisorption and could reach adsorption equilibrium within 60 min; the saturation adsorption capacity was 20.22 μmol·g−1. The introduction of AcrU could improve selectivity through base complementary pairing to greatly increase the imprinting factor to 3.79. Therefore, this was a successful attempt to combine a hydrogel with hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles and molecularly imprinted material.Keywords:2’-deoxyadenosine;hollow mesoporous nanoparticles;molecularly imprinted polymers;hydrogel microspheres;selective adsorption

Three-dimensional (3D) hybrids are very valuable in the construction of supercapacitor electrodes. Ni(OH) 2 cellular arrays were in-situ grown on nickel foam using Co 3 O 4 nanosheets (NSs) as nucleating agent. The formation, microstructure and supercapacitance performance of the Co 3 O 4 /Ni(OH) 2 cellular arrays are systematically investigated. The Co 3 O 4 /Ni(OH) 2 arrays present an open cellular nanostructure with ultrathin Ni(OH) 2 walls. The Co 3 O 4 /Ni(OH) 2 prepared by hydrothermal reaction of 12 h delivers a super-high specific capacitance of 4396 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 , above the theoretical capacitances of both the Ni(OH) 2 and Co 3 O 4 . Additionally, the Co 3 O 4 /Ni(OH) 2 electrode shows an excellent cycle performance by retaining 80.1% after 5000 cycles and a stable rate capability by decreasing 21.1% from 1 to 10 A g −1 . The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor reaches a large energy density of 32 Wh kg −1 at 7999 W kg −1 by Co 3 O 4 /Ni(OH) 2 as anode and reduced graphene oxides as cathode. The prominent high-capacity performance can be attributed to the cellular arrays, ultrathin hybrid NSs and synergetic reactions of the Ni(OH) 2 and Co 3 O 4 . The proposed technology is also suitable for producing other multi-component oxide/hydroxide arrays as electroactive materials for energy storage devices.

Chiral covalent organic framework materials have many excellent properties, which have received much attention in the field of separation. Synthesized the covalent organic framework COF-TpBD (NH 2 ) 2 modified, respectively, by L-valine trifluoroacetyl derivative, L-hydroxyproline, and (1S)-(+)-10-camphorsulfonyl chloride, three capillary columns of chiral covalent organic framework materials were obtained for gas chromatography. Those columns are able to separate some chiral compounds, positional isomers, n-alkanes, n-alcohols, aromatic hydrocarbon mixture, and Grob's reagents. They are complementary to other chiral capillary columns and are possible for potential applications.

N-2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (HACC), a cationic quaternary ammonium salt polymer exhibiting good solubility in water, is widely used because of its low toxicity and good biocompatibility. Herein, through ion exchange reaction, we preparedN-2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chitosan derivatives bearing amino acid Schiff bases with good biological activities. The accuracy of the structures was verified by FT-IR and1H NMR. The antibacterial activity, antifungal activity, and scavenging ability of DPPH radical and superoxide radical of HACC derivatives were significantly improved compared with that of HACC. In particular, HACGM (HACC-potassium 2-((2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)amino)acetate) and HACGB (HACC-potassium 2-((5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)acetate) showed good inhibitory effect on bacteria and fungi, includingStaphylococcus aureus,Escherichia coli,Botrytis cinerea,andFusarium oxysporumf. sp.cubense. The inhibition rate of HACGB onStaphylococcus aureusandEscherichia colicould reach 100% at the concentration of 0.1 mg/mL, and the inhibition rate of HACGM and HACGB onBotrytis cinereaandFusarium oxysporumf. sp.cubensecould also reach 100% at the concentration of 0.5 mg/mL. Improving antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of HACC could provide ideas and experiences for the development and utilization of chitosan derivatives.Keywords:N-2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan;amino acid Schiff bases;antimicrobial activity;antioxidant activity

Carbohydrate microarrays, featuring high-throughput and rapid detection, provide a powerful tool for getting better insights into carbohydrate-mediated interactions. In this study, poly(2-methylacrylic acid) (pMAA)-modified substrates have been developed for fabricating carbohydrate microarrays. The abundant carboxyl groups of the pMAA polymer provide large amounts of reaction sites for subsequent carbohydrate immobilization. After the activation of the carboxyl groups, amino-modified carbohydrates were covalently and site-specifically immobilized on the pMAA-based substrates. As a typical example, the specific interaction between 4-aminophenyl α-D-mannopyranoside (α-Man) and fluorescein isothiocyanate labelled concanavalin A (ConA-FITC) was investigated using a pMAA-based carbohydrate microarray. It exhibited a low limit of detection of both spotted α-Man (10 μM) and ConA-FITC in solution (9.26 nM) without any further signal amplification. The practical application of the pMAA-based microarrays was validated by investigating the specific interactions of polysaccharides and SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, and fabricating microarrays containing other biomolecules (e.g., glycoprotein and DNA). The proposed pMAA-based microarrays provide a promising tool in bioanalytical and biomedical studies.

Background Diosmin has been reported to treat diabetes, but its role in diabetic nephropathy (DN) remains unclear. This research investigated the mechanism by which diosmin alleviated high glucose (HG)-induced HK-2 cell injury.Methods First, we used CCK-8 to detect the effect of 0.1, 1, or 10 μg/mL diosmin on the viability of HK-2 cells treated with normal glucose or HG. Next, we used flow cytometry, automatic biochemical analyzer, ELISA, immunofluorescence, and colorimetric assay kit to examine the apoptosis, oxidative stress, inflammatory factors, and Caspase-3 expression in HK-2 cells. Thereafter, we used the western blot and qRT-PCR to examine the expression of the endoplasmic reticulum stress-, oxidative stress-, inflammation-, apoptosis-, and autophagy, and PI3K/AKT pathway-related factors.Results Diosmin was non-cytotoxic to normal HK-2 cells and enhanced the HK-2 cell viability suppressed by HG. Meanwhile, diosmin restrained apoptosis, the contents of MDA, pro-inflammatory factors, and Caspase-3 but intensified the contents of SOD and CAT induced by HG. We further confirmed that diosmin blunted oxidative stress-, inflammation-, apoptosis-, and autophagy-related factors expression induced by HG via restraining the CHOP and GRP78 expressions. Further, we also discovered that PTEN level was restrained and the ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K and p-AKT/AKT were enhanced in HK-2 cells induced by HG, which was reversed by co-treatment of HG and diosmin.Conclusion sOur study manifested that diosmin alleviated the HG-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress injury in HK-2 cells via restraining the PI3K/AKT pathway.

Carotenoid metabolism is critical for diverse physiological processes. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has two genes that are annotated as β-carotene 15,15′-monooxygenase (BCMO) and are 17 centimorgan apart on chromosome II, but the function of BCMO-1 and BCMO-2 remains uncharacterized. Sequence homology indicates that the two enzymes belong to the carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase family that share a seven-bladed β-propeller fold with a nonheme iron center. Here we determined crystal structures of BCMO-1 and BCMO-2 at resolutions of 1.8 and 1.9 Å, respectively. Structural analysis reveals that BCMO-1 and BCMO-2 are strikingly similar to each other. We also characterized their β-carotene cleavage activity, but the results suggest that they may not act as β-carotene 15,15′-oxygenases.

As an efficient and sustainable technology, photocatalysis driven by visible light has made great contributions to the removal of heavy metals from environment. In this work, a series of Cd 3 (TMT) 2 /CdS heterojunction composite photocatalysts were prepared by self-formation of CdS nanoparticles using an octahedral coordination polymer Cd 3 (C 3 N 3 S 3 ) 2 (denoted as Cd 3 (TMT) 2 ) as a precursor. The photocatalytic performance of Cd 3 (TMT) 2 /CdS heterojunction composites for Cr(VI) has been significantly improved under visible light irradiation owing to effective separation and migration of photoexcited charge carriers. Moreover, Cd 3 (TMT) 2 /CdS composites exhibited remarkable photocatalytic reduction performance of Cr(VI) solution with high concentration. This photocatalyst provides a novel route in the photoreduction of Cr(VI).

Until now, COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 is engulfing the worldwide and still ranging to date, continuing to threaten the public health. The main challenge facing COVID-19 epidemic is short of fast-response and high-efficiency methods to determine SARS-CoV-2 viral pathogens. Herein, a nanobody-based label-free photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor has been fabricated for rapidly detecting SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. As a small-size and high-stability antibody, nanobody was directly and well immobilized with Au nanoparticles and TiO 2 spheres by the interaction. Au deposited TiO 2 nanomaterial possessed 8.5 times photoelectric performance in comparison with TiO 2 in the presence of electron donor owing to surface plasma resonance effect of Au. Based on the steric hindrance effect, this immunoassay platform realized the linear detection from 0.015 to 15000 pg mL −1 , and a limit of detection was low as 5 fg mL −1 . The label-free PEC immunoassay design provides a new idea for convenient, rapid, and efficient test of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and broadens further application of nanobody as an identification agent to specific biomarkers.

Propyl gallate (PG) as one of the most important additives has been widely used to prevent or slow the oxidation of foods in the food industry. In this work, Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 /BiVO 4 composite is synthesized through two hydrothermal processes. With visible light irradiation, the Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 /BiVO 4 composites modified PEC platform displays a superior anode photocurrent signal. The PEC sensor showed a wide linear range from 1 × 10 −10 to 1 × 10 −3 mol L −1 with a detection limit as low as 0.05 × 10 −10 mol L −1 . The Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 /BiVO 4 photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor is designed and characterized by electrochemical impedance. Compared with GCE/BiVO 4 and GCE/Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 , the GCE/Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 /BiVO 4 has a higher photocurrent response. In addition, the sensor is highly selective for samples containing other antioxidants. Furthermore, the sensor can be used to detect PG in edible oil samples with satisfactory results. The recoveries of propyl gallate in edible oil ranged from 95.5 to 101.8%. The results show that Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 /BiVO 4 composites can be used to analyze PG in different edible oil samples, which are beneficial for food quality monitoring and reduce the risk of PG overuse in food.
