Electrochemical water splitting has excellent application prospects in clean energy technology. However, due to the large overpotential required for the OER reaction during the water-splitting reaction, the modification of electrocatalysts is a vital strategy to address the slow kinetics of the OER reaction. In this paper, a simple and rapid two-step hydrothermal sulfidation method was used to prepare S-modified Ni(OH) 2 nanosheets electrocatalysts at 120 °C. At the same time, the well-designed nanostructured catalyst on the nickel foam substrate exposes a large number of active sites, and the simultaneously generated oxygen vacancies are beneficial to the penetration of the electrolyte and release of O 2 , thus significantly improving the OER performance. In 1.0 M KOH electrolyte, Ni 9 S 8 /Ni(OH) 2 /NF exhibits excellent catalytic activity for OER. The catalyst requires only 430 mV overpotential at a current density of 100 mA cm -2 . In addition, Ni 9 S 8 /Ni(OH) 2 /NF also has excellent long-term stability. Graphical abstract This work reports the formation of Ni 9 S 8 /Ni(OH) 2 /NF heterojunctions by sulfiding Ni(OH) 2 on porous nickel foam. Surprisingly, these Ni 9 S 8 /Ni(OH) 2 /NF heterojunctions exhibit excellent oxygen evolution reaction performance and long-term stability. This is superior to most reported electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reactions.

Low-temperature biorefineries inhibit the multiplication of undesired microorganisms, improve product purity and reduce economic costs. Herein, to improve the 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) bioconversion efficiency from hemicellulose, a psychrotrophic hemicellulose-degrading strain Raoultella terrigena HC6 with high β-xylosidase activity 1520 U/mL was isolated and genetically modified. Xylan (hemicellulose replacement) was depolymerized into xylooligosaccharides (XOS) and xylose by HC6, which were further converted into 2,3-BD. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that β-xylosidase gene ( xynB ) and xylose isomerase gene ( xylA ), which are beneficial for increasing the carbon flux from xylan to 2,3-BD, were significantly upregulated 56.9-fold and 234-fold, respectively. A recombinant strain was constructed by overexpressing xynB in HC6, which obtained 0.389 g/g yield of 2,3-BD from hemicellulose extracted from corn straw at 15 °C. This study proposed a promised strategy for the bioconversion of agricultural waste into 2,3-BD at low temperatures and provides a basis for future efforts in the achievement of carbon neutrality.

This work begins with a study of the synthesis of multi-color luminescence phosphors, which is followed by a discussion of the temperature sensitivity of AgBi(MoO4)2:Yb3+/Er3+. Uniform and approximately spherical particles of AgBi(MoO4)2-based phosphors were prepared by a simple one-step hydrothermal method without adding any surfactant. We obtained a series of rich green, yellow, blue, and white luminescence phosphors by doping Ln3+ (Ln3+ = Yb3+, Er3+, Ho3+, Tm3+) into the AgBi(MoO4)2 matrix, and an analysis of various correlative factors was made, especially for the amounts of doping ions. Furthermore, the investigation of the temperature sensitivity of AgBi(MoO4)2:Yb3+/Er3+ revealed that the fluorescence intensity becomes lower with increasing temperature from 323 to 573 K. The fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) of the two thermal coupling energy levels (2H11/2, 4S3/2) of Er3+ was calculated, and the absolute sensitivity of the obtained phosphor reached a maximum value of 1.32% K−1 at 463 K, as obtained by fitting the FIR as a function of temperature, which is a relatively high level compared with other related materials. This material is expected to be used as a highly sensitive FIR thermometer.

As an important intermediate of organic chemical industry, 2-methylnaphthalene (2-MN) has the application value in the field of medicine and material research. Up to date, the existing researches are aimed at 2-methylnaphthalene saturated hydrogenation and hydrocracking for high value products such as cycloalkanes and BTXs. A series of Ni-based (20 wt.%) catalysts were prepared with different reduction temperatures for the hydrogenation of 2-methylnaphthalene to 6-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (6-MT) in this study. The results showed that by using NiO/Al 2 O 3 -370R, 90.8% conversion of 2-MN and 59.7% yield of desired product (6-MT) can be achieved with optimum reaction conditions of 4 MPa & 340°C, 8 h. Multiple studies including catalyst characterizations, reaction kinetics and density functional theory (DFT) calculation indicates that symbiotic effect of heterostructured Ni-NiO over γ-Al 2 O 3 mainly corresponding to the desired catalytic performance. This study gains fundamental understanding in the effects of valence of Ni-based catalysts in catalytic hydrogenation.

Large-area three-dimensional (3D) well-ordered Co(OH)2 nanoflower array films decorated with Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with a novel structure were designed as sensitive SERS substrates for trace detection of pesticides. Co(OH)2 nanoflowers were electrodeposited on the surface of molded polyacrylonitrile (PAN) films with ordered nanopillar arrays and then Ag NPs were sputtered onto of the surface of each Co(OH)2 nanoflower. The SERS performance of the as-prepared films can be optimized by tuning the Ag-sputtering duration and the morphology of the Co(OH)2 nanoflower arrays. Owing to the formation of high-density SERS “hotspots” created in the nanogaps between the adjacent Ag NPs located on the same and neighbouring Co(OH)2 nanosheets, the optimized substrates show SERS activity for probe molecules. As a result, 10−11 M rhodamine 6G and 10−9 M 4-aminothiophenol can be SERS recognized, respectively. To verify their practical application, the optimized SERS substrates were employed for trace detection of thiram (a type of pesticide), and 10−9 M thiram can be recognized, showing great potential in pesticide detection.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
