Lipase was immobilized with Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 ⋅3H 2 O to synthesize lipase-Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 ⋅3H 2 O hybrid microflowers (Lip-MFs). Surfactants (Tween 80, Triton X-100 and CTAB) were added to study their effect on the morphology and activity of Lip-MFs. SEM images revealed that surfactants can increase the size of Lip-MFs and make the hierarchical structure more compact. Further, compared with other surfactants, the activity of CTAB-Lip-MFs was 1.45 times of that of free lipase, demonstrating CTAB is conducive to improve the activity of lipase.

In the last few decades, anthraquinone and its derivatives (AQs) have been intensively applied to electrochemical, textile and dye, and photovoltaic industries. This has increased the levels of AQs in the natural environment and threatens human health. To remove AQs from the aqueous phase and recover these multi-functional molecules, a binary magnetic adsorbent, reduced graphene/Fe3O4(rGO/Fe3O4), was synthesized via a hydrothermal method. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Raman spectra, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were then used to characterize the samples. The adsorption capacities of rGO/Fe3O4to AQs were investigated by selecting anthraquinone-2-sulfonate (AQ2S) as a model molecule. The adsorption process followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and the second-order kinetics. The regeneration of adsorbents and the recycling of AQ2S and solvent were simultaneously achieved by Soxhlet extraction and rotary evaporation. These results confirm the high adsorption efficiency of rGO/Fe3O4for removing AQs from water and provide a promising approach to recover the valuable molecules from the aqueous phase.Keywords:adsorption;magnetic composite;anthraquinone-2-sulfonate;regeneration

Graphene oxide (GO) composite materials as adsorbent have been widely researched in the adsorption various heavy metal contaminated water . In order to improve its structural stability and adsorption properties, self-support GO/Sodium Alginate (SA)/1, 2-Propanediamine (PDA) composite membrane was prepared by vacuum filtration. The performance of amino functional groups in composite membranes was observed using X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to characterize the interlayer spacing. The Pb 2+ adsorption properties of composite membranes were discussed by intermittent adsorption experiments. Intermittent adsorption experiments include the subject of the pH, contact time, adsorption film weight, concentration of metal ion and temperature change. The Pb 2+ adsorption on the composite membrane strongly depends on pH. After 20 min of adsorption, the membrane reached the adsorption equilibrium, and the adsorption rate was fast. The maximum adsorption capacity of the composite membrane to Pb 2+ was 189.25 mg g −1 . The adsorption process of the membrane was consistent with the chemisorption process and mono-layer adsorption process. The GO/SA/PDA membranes can be used to the adsorption of Pb 2+ , which might give contribution to environmental protection.

Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is regarded as an attractive solid-state electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, relatively low ionic conductivity of pristine PEO is a critical bottleneck to boost high-performance solid-state LIBs. Herein, poly(2-aminoazulene) (PAAz) was synthesized using the oxidation polymerization strategy and acted as a polymeric filler in the fabrication of PEO−PAAz composite electrolyte. Compared with PEO electrolyte, the composite electrolyte had a better ionic conductivity (9.27 × 10−6 vs 6.47 × 10−5 S cm−1 at 30 °C), Li+ transference number (0.21 vs 0.51), and suppression of Li dendrites. Consequently, the PEO−PAAz electrolyte paired Li/LiFePO4 cell had a high capacity (156 mAh g−1 at 0.5 C, 1 C = 170 mA g−1) and stability (only 8% capacity loss after 300 cycles); these are better than those of the PEO-based cell (132 mAh g−1, 45% capacity loss). In addition, the PEO−PAAz-based cell could run for 1200 cycles with 60% capacity retention at 1 C. This study provides both a new organic filler for PEO-based solid-state LIBs and a method of improving the performance of solid-state LIBs, especially in terms of a long lifetime.

The recovery of gold from wastewater has always been a research hotspot. Here, a novel chitosan-based adsorbent (CS-DPDM) was successfully synthesized by functionalizing chitosan with (N, N-(2-aminoethyl))-2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide. The adsorbent was analyzed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H NMR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and zeta potential method (Zeta). To investigate the adsorption performance of CS-DPDM for Au(III), the effects of pH, temperature, adsorption time and initial concentration were discussed. The maximum adsorption capacity of CS-DPDM for Au(III) at pH 5.0 is 659.02 mg/g at 318 K. The adsorption is a spontaneous endothermic behavior, and the adsorption process follows the quasi-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models, indicating that a single layer of chemical adsorption may have occurred on the surface of the adsorbent. The competitive adsorption and repetitive experiments show that CS-DPDM has considerable selectivity and reusability for Au(III). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results show that N and O functional groups adsorb Au(III) on the surface of CS-DPDM through electrostatic, chelation and reduction. These results indicate that CS-DPDM has broad application prospects in recovering gold ions from aqueous solutions.

Removal of metal ions from water can not only alleviate the scaling problem of domestic and industrial water, but also solve the water safety problem caused by heavy metal ion pollution. Here, we fabricate a positively charged nanofiltration membrane via surfactant-assembly regulated interfacial polymerization(SARIP) of 2-methylpiperazine(MPIP) and trimesoyl chloride(TMC). Due to the existence of methyl substituent, MPIP has lower reactive activity than piperazine(PIP) but stronger affinity to hexane, resulting in a nanofiltration(NF) membrane with an opposite surface charge and a loose polyamide active layer. Interestingly, with the help of sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS) assembly at the water/hexane, the reactivity between MPIP and TMC was obviously increased and caused in turn the formation of a positively charged polyamide active layer with a smaller pore size, as well as with a narrower pore size distribution. The resulting membrane shows a highly efficient removal of divalent cations from water, of which the rejections of MgCl 2 , CoCl 2 and NiCl 2 are higher than 98.8%, 98.0% and 98.0%, respectively, which are better than those of most of other positively charged NF membranes reported in literatures.

Ultrathin nickel (Ni)-based sulfide nanosheets have been reported as excellent electrocatalysts for overall water splitting; however, the uncontrollability over thickness due to the nonlayered structure still hampers its practical application. Herein, a simple topochemical conversion strategy is employed to synthesize cobalt-doped Ni 3 S 2 (Co-Ni 3 S 2 ) ultrathin nanosheets on Ni foam. The Co-Ni 3 S 2 nanosheets are controlled synthesized by using Co-Ni(OH) 2 ultrathin nanosheets as templates with anneal and sulfurization treatment, showing exceptional electrocatalytic activity. This template-assisted method can also be applied to obtain Ni, NiO, and NiP x nanosheets, providing a universal strategy to synthesize ultrathin nanosheets of nonlayered materials. The overall water splitting of this Co-Ni 3 S 2 ultrathin nanosheets achieves a low voltage of 1.54 V at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 and high durability in 1 m KOH, comparable to the best performance of electrochemical water splitting ever reported. The detailed structural transformation of Ni-based sulfides in the catalytic process and its mechanism are further explored both experimentally and theoretically.

A simple, convenient and efficient enzyme immobilization method through phytic acid (PA) modified α-Glucosidase (α-Glu)/Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 ·3H 2 O hybrid nanoflower was developed. The structural properties of the materials were studied by several characterization techniques. Subsequently, the enzymatic reaction conditions such as the pH value and temperature were optimized, and the enzyme kinetics and inhibition parameters were determined. The PA modified α-Glu/Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 ·3H 2 O hybrid nanoflower had better enzymatic activity under a wide pH range and high temperature than the free one. After seven successive cycles, the PA modified α-Glu/Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 ·3H 2 O hybrid nanoflower could still maintain approximately 63.0 % of its initial immobilized enzyme activity. The Michaelis-Menten constant ( K m ) and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) of acarbose were determined as 0.77 mM and 15.01 μM, respectively. In addition, the material was applied to evaluate the inhibitory activity of ten phenolic compounds on α-Glu, and epicatechin gallate, gallocatechin gallate, epigallocatechin gallate and rosmarinic acid showed good inhibitory activity with % of inhibition of (53.42 ± 2.39)%, (37.28 ± 1.32)%, (37.08 ± 0.63)% and (35.53 ± 0.23)%, respectively. These results indicate that the PA modified hybrid nanoflower is an efficient method of α-Glu immobilization.

Due to the good safety and high energy density , rechargeable Mg-metal batteries (RMMBs) have been regarded as a potential competitor of Li-metal batteries (LMBs). However, the Mg(TFSI) 2 -based conventional electrolytes will cause large overpotential in reversible plating/stripping attributed to the high ion transport impedance of the electrolyte decomposition products. Here, an artificial interphase composed of amorphous (a-) MgCl 2 @polymer on the Mg-metal surface is prepared by in-situ chemical reaction of metallic Mg with H 3 PO 4 and SiCl 4 in sequence, and can effectively inhibit the electrolyte decomposition and facilitate Mg 2+ transport, which plays the role of solid electrolyte interface (SEI) on Mg anode. The Mg-Mg symmetrical cell with modified Mg electrode exhibits lower overpotential (~0.25 V) and interfacial impedance than bare Mg electrode in 0.5 M Mg(TFSI) 2 /DME electrolyte. The voltage hysteresis in the Mg-S and Mg-Mo 6 S 8 batteries with the modified Mg anode is greatly improved compared to bare Mg anode. This work provides a new idea for future applications of passivation-free Mg-metal anode technology in the MMBs based on conventional electrolytes.

Amorphous/amorphous heterostructures with a large surface area are theoretically anticipated to promote the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity and stability. However, the growth, characterization and theoretical simulation of amorphous/amorphous nanostructured heterostructures are still challenging due to their atomic isotropy. Herein, a novel and simple strategy is developed to synthesize amorphous/amorphous Ni–P/Ni(OH)2 heterostructure nanotubes by immersing Zn@Ni–P nanowires grown by axial screw dislocation in alkaline solution. When used as an HER catalyst, the Ni–P/Ni(OH)2 nanotubes achieve considerably high electrocatalytic activity and decent stability. The significantly low overpotential of 54.7 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 is among the best values reported for transition metal phosphides in alkaline solution. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the abundant defect structures of amorphous Ni–P would shift the Ni 3d band center toward the Fermi level, demonstrating an energy barrier decrease for H2 generation. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of amorphous Ni–P and Ni(OH)2 could significantly enhance H2O dissociation to supply sufficient protons for the HER.

The development of efficient, stable and low-cost oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts in anodes is essential for the production of hydrogen resources by electrolyzing water. Cobalt hydroxide (α-Co(OH)2) is one of the most encouraging electrocatalysts for the OER under alkaline conditions, but its catalytic activity is still unsatisfactory possibly due to its unfavorable electronic structure. The construction of heterogeneous catalysts has been considered as an effective strategy to change the interface and modulate the electronic structure of electrocatalysts, resulting in improved activities. Herein, novel self-supported α-Co(OH)2 coated Co3O4 nanosheet arrays on conductive carbon cloth have been constructed and fabricated via a simple electrodeposition method (α-Co(OH)2/Co3O4/CC), serving as efficient catalysts for the OER. The as-prepared heterostructure with optimal proportions of α-Co(OH)2 to Co3O4 exhibits an enhanced overpotential of 275 mV at 10 mA cm−2 (322 mV for α-Co(OH)2/CC and 359 mV for Co3O4/CC), a low Tafel slope of 76 mV dec−1 and excellent durability for 22 h. The further electrochemical results show that the formation of heterostructure can optimize the electronic structure of the catalysts through interfacial coupling effect, improve the charge transfer ability and increase the electrochemical active sites, all of which are beneficial to the OER performance enhancement. This work not only develops a highly efficient and stable non-precious metal catalyst toward the OER, but also opens up new ways for boosting the performance by regulating the electronic structure through interface engineering of electrocatalysts and beyond.
