Layered Co(OH) 2 has been regarded as a potential candidate for pseudocapacitor electrode material, but it is limited by its poor conductivity and low surface area. Herein, carbonated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) were used to improve the conductivity of α-Co(OH) 2 nanocomposites. α-Co(OH) 2 nanoflowers were successfully grown and tangled with MWCNTs-COOH to form a randomly oriented network structure mediated by ammonia using water-methanol as co-solvent at room temperature. The capacitance performances of the obtained α-Co(OH) 2 @MWCNT-COOH composites were investigated to find that MWCNT-COOH improved the specific capacitance efficiently. Especially, in the presence of 20% in mole of MWCNT-COOH, the composite gave rise to the high specific capacitance of 1027 F/g at the current density of 2 A/g with good cycle stability, whose specific capacitance remained 78% of its original even after 5000 cycles at 30 A/g current. The large surface area and strengthening the conductivity of the composites lead to the improvement of efficiency in charge/discharge process.

Superficially porous particles (SPPs) demonstrate superior efficiency than totally porous particles in chiral separations. In order to obtain high efficiency and fast separation, sub-2 μm SPPs with high surface area are synthesized, and with teicoplanin bonded, such materials are successfully applied into the rapid enantioseparation of native amino acids. In brief, 1.27 ± 0.06 μm nonporous silica particles are prepared by a modified seeded growth method, followed by mesoporous shell fabrication via one-pot templated dissolution and redeposition strategy, and pore size expansion via acid-refluxing. The diameter of the formed SPPs is 1.49 ± 0.04 μm, with the shell thickness as 206 nm. Nitrogen physisorption experiments show that the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific surface area is 213.6 m 2 /g and pore size is 9 nm. After teicoplanin derivatization with bonding capacity as 83.3 μmol/g, the prepared chiral stationary phase is packed into a stainless steel tube with the geometry of 50 mm × 2.1 mm i.d.. In less than 6.4 min, six native amino acids (norleucine, alanine, valine, methionine, leucine, norvaline) are enantioseparated with resolution factors ranging from 1.9 to 5.0. Besides, the resolution for chiral separation is improved with ethanol-water instead of methanol-water as the mobile phase. Moreover, the low temperature gives higher resolution, but longer retention time and higher backpressure. Finally, the effect of flow rate on enantiomeric separation is studied and fast chiral separation within 1 min is obtained with flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. All these results show that the synthesized teicoplanin bonded sub-2 μm SPPs have great potential to achieve the enantioseparation of native amino acids with high resolution and rapid speed.

Abstract Reaction of H 3 salmp (H 3 salmp = 2-bis(salicylidieneamino)methylphenol) and lanthanide ions has afforded three lanthanide-schiff base complexes. One is homodinuclear [Nd(Hsalmp)(NO 3 )(EtOH)] 2 ·2EtOH ( 1 ), other two are heteroleptic tetranuclear [LnNa(salmp)(sal)(EtOH) 3 ] 2 (Ln = Nd ( 2 ), Ce ( 3 ); sal = salicylaldehydato) architectures. In complex 1 , the counter Hsalmp 2– anions adopt NO 3 donor sets, wheras in complexes 2 and 3 , the counter salmp 3– anions select N 2 O 3 donor sets and sal – anions chose O 2 donor sets, in which cleavage of C=N groups in ligand has taken place. The amount of alkali has displayed a vital influence on preparation of these complexes. Both of the complexes were elucidated by elemental analysis, IR, fluorescence spectra and X-ray crystallography.

Perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFCAs) is toxic to the environment and human health. However, the degradation characteristics of fluorotelomer alcohols (FTOHs), precursors of PFACAs biodegradation, in the sludge during aerobic composting remain unclear. In this study, the degradation characteristics of 6:2 FTOH in sewage sludge by composting were researched and the influences of 6:2 FTOH on the composting process and microbial communities of the sludge were evaluated. After 52 days of composting, 6:2 FTOH retained only 0.73% of its original concentration, and its half-life was less than 1 d; 6:2 FTOH was degraded finally to perfluorohex unsaturated acid, perfluoropentanoic acid, 5:3 polyfluorinated acid (FTCA), 4:3 FTCA, and perfluorobutanoic acid through two pathways; and 6:2 FTCA and 6:2 fluorotel unsaturated acid were the intermediate products. Notably, dosing with 6:2 FTOH affected the composting process of sewage sludge. Additionally, 50 mg/kg 6:2 FTOH resulted in a decrease in the microbial richness and diversity of sludge compost. When compared with the compost without 6:2 FTOH, the proportion of Proteobacteria had increased, and the proportion of Firmicutes had decreased as the concentration of 6:2 FTOH increased. The negative effect of a dosage of 50 mg/kg 6:2 FTOH was more obvious than the effect of other treatments. This study expanded our understanding of the risk of sludge contaminated by 6:2 FTOH being used as a fertilizer after composting.

Three 2-phenylthiazole derivatives were synthesized, characterized and evaluated as urease inhibitors. The structures of the 2-phenylthiazole derivatives were characterized by FT-IR, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. Their crystal structures were also determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Hirshfeld surfaces analysis and their associated two dimensional fingerprint plots of compounds were used as theoretical approach to assess driving force for crystal structure formation via the intermolecular interactions in the crystal lattices of synthesized compounds. The study of X-ray single crystal diffraction and Hirshfeld surfaces analysis of the prepared compounds shows N H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C H⋯O intermolecular interactions among molecules of synthesized compounds. The urease-inhibition activities of the synthesized compounds were tested by phenol red method. Among the three compounds, the compound N-cyclohexyl-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)thiazole-4-carboxamide ( 5b ) showed the best urease inhibitory activity with the IC 50 of 1.82 μ M. The docking study performed demonstrated that compound N-cyclohexyl-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)thiazole-4- carboxamide could interact with the catalytic active site of urease.

A photoredox/copper-catalyzed cascade radical cyclization/phosphorothiolation reaction of N-allylbromoacetamides and P(O)SH compounds has been established. A broad range of novel nonfluorine- or difluoro-substituted 2-pyrrolidinones bearing the C(sp3)-SP(O)(OR)2 moiety can be conveniently constructed in moderate to good yields under mild conditions. Importantly, most of the tested phosphorothiolated 2-pyrrolidinones showed potent inhibitory effects toward both AChE and BChE.

The outbreak of the pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) calls for an urgent unmet need for developing a facial and cost-effective detection method. The requirement of well-trained personnel and sophisticated instrument of current primary mean (reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, RT-PCR) may hinder the practical application worldwide. In this regard, a reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) coupled with CRISPR-Cas12a colorimetric assay is proposed for the SARS-CoV-2 detection. The methodology we have described herein utilizes DNA-modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as a universal colorimetric readout and can specifically target ORF1ab and N regions of the SARS-CoV-2 genome. After the virus genome is amplified through RT-RPA, the resulting abundant dsDNA will bind and activate Cas12a. Under trans-cleavage degradation, the capped DNA substrate will be hydrolyzed gradually from AuNPs, demonstrating a change in the surface plasmon resonance (SPR), which can be facially monitored by UV–vis absorbance spectroscopy and naked eye observation. The high amplification efficiency from RT-RPA and Cas12a trans-cleavage process bring the sensitivity of our method to 1 copy of viral genome sequence per test. Notably, under the dual variations inspecting from the isothermal amplification and Cas12a activation process, the false positive events from other beta coronavirus members can be effectively avoided and thus significantly improve the specificity. Furthermore, the reliability of this colorimetric assay is validated by standard clinical samples from the hospital laboratory department. Through integration of the inherently high sensitivity and specificity from an RPA-coupled Cas12a system with the intrinsic simplicity of AuNP-based colorimetric assay, our method increases the practical testing availability of SARS-CoV-2.

Objectives Catalytic promiscuity, or the ability to catalyze a secondary reaction, provides new opportunities for industrial biocatalysis by expanding the range of biocatalytic reactions. Some nitrilases converting nitriles to amides, referred to as the secondary activity, show great potential for amides production. And our goal was exploiting the amide-forming potential of nitrilases. Results In this study, we characterized and altered the secondary activity of nitrilase from Acidovorax facilis 72 W (Nit72W) towards different substrates. We increased the secondary activity of Nit72W towards 2-cyanopyridine by 196-fold and created activity toward benzonitrile and p-nitrophenylacetonitrile by modifying the active pocket. Surprisingly, the best mutant, W188M, completely converted 250 mM 2-cyanopyridine to more than 98% 2-picolinamide in 12 h with a specific activity of 90 U/mg and showed potential for industrial applications. Conclusions Nit72W was modified to increase its secondary activity for the amides production, especially 2-picolinamide.

2-Ethylhexyl nitrate (EHN) is an important material, which is produced by concentrated HNO 3 –H 2 SO 4 nitration process. But EHN is not a stable material, especially mixed with acids. To analyze the stability of EHN with concentrated acid under serious condition, four samples (pure EHN, concentrated sulfuric acid with EHN, concentrated nitric acid with EHN, and mixed acid with EHN) and three acids (sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and mixed acid) were measured by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and accelerating rate calorimeter (ARC) in this paper. The results indicated that concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated nitric acid, and mixed acid all could decrease the onset decomposition temperature of EHN, especially concentrated sulfuric acid. DSC results also showed that the heat of EHN decomposition with nitric acid is larger than other samples. Based on ARC data, the kinetic parameters and T
D24 (temperature at which TMR
ad is 24 h) were calculated. The activation energy and T
D24 of the EHN with acids, especially with concentrate sulfuric acid, were much lower than the pure EHN. It can be concluded that acids could decrease the stability of EHN and that is an important reason for frequent accidents.

Among tremendous efforts for enhanced photocatalysis, construction of heterojunction has been deemed as an effective means. In comparison with type II heterojunction, type I heterojunction receives less attention due to accumulation and increased recombination of charge carriers in one side of heterojunction. Herein, we take NaBi(MoO 4 ) 2 /Bi 2 MoO 6 as an example of type I heterojunction and explore means to improve the photocatalytic performance of NaBi(MoO 4 ) 2 /Bi 2 MoO 6 heterojunction. We employ TiO 2 electrospun nanofibers as substrates and separately grow NaBi(MoO 4 ) 2 and Bi 2 MoO 6 nanostructures on the skeleton of TiO 2 . The characterization results show that TiO 2 changes type I heterojunction into multiheterojunction integrating two type II heterojunctions. Photocatalytic tests demonstrate that as-constructed multi-heterojunction is of higher activity than that of single type I or II heterojunction, respectively, where photogenerated electrons are accumulated on the surface of TiO 2 and photogenerated holes are accumulated on NaBi(MoO 4 ) 2 and Bi 2 MoO 6 , respectively. This study highlights the potential application of TiO 2 electrospun nanofibers in the construction of multiheterojunction for enhanced visible light photocatalysis.

Combining imaging and treatment of cancer into one molecule has become an efficient strategy for studies on pathology and cancer therapeutics. Herein, a novel highly selective and sensitive green-emitting probe ( APLN ), which contained a fluorophore (Naphthalimide), a linker, and a COX-2 kinase inhibitor (aspirin) has been designed and evaluated. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), as one of the typical rate-limiting enzymes, has been utilized as imaging and therapeutic target since this enzyme is overexpressed in various cancer cell lines. Aspirin, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), has been reported to reduce the incidence and risk of cancers by down-regulating the expression of COX-2 in cancer cells. The APLN probe has been proved to successfully label the COX-2 enzyme to identify tumors and significantly inhibit tumor growth in a xenotransplantation model of nude mice. Therefore, this enzyme-targeted fluorescence probe ( APLN) is a potential reagent for in situ imaging and fluorescent-visible cancer therapy.
