3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) is a silane widely used to supply amino groups for further modifications on various materials, but it is less studied as a catalyst to catalyze sol–gel silica polymerization. Here, by using APTES as the catalyst instead of the conventional basic catalysts, a novel strategy was developed to prepare silica-based molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). Meanwhile, APTES was employed as the functional monomer to create imprinted nanocavities for specific recognition of target molecules. The as-synthesized MIP exhibited ultra-high recognition capability due to the elimination of the detrimental effect on the imprinting performance caused by the additional catalysts. The preparation process, specificity, pH effect, binding capacity and affinity of the MIP were studied in detail. The MIP microparticles could be packed into a solid phase extraction column for removing the target molecule in water efficiently, and the molecule could easily be enriched by 40 times. The interaction of the functional monomer and template was studied by the calculation method, giving a more clear understanding of the recognition behaviours of the imprinted polymers. The strategy could be extended not only to prepare highly specific MIPs for other small phosphoric molecules, but also for biomolecules e.g. phosphorylated peptides or proteins.

Fe 3 O 4 -Arg was selected as the optimal carrier due to its high activity recovery of immobilized cells in the preparation of Fe 3 O 4 -Arg-Cells. The optimal immobilization conditions for the preparation of Fe 3 O 4 -Arg-Cells were 30 °C, 4 h, pH 7, and 3 g dry yeast. The activity recovery of immobilized cells reached 76.8 %. For a batch reduction in a shaker in an alternating magnetic field, Fe 3 O 4 -Arg-Cells were used as a catalyst to gain ethyl ( R )-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyrate (( R )-CHBE). For further improvement in reduction productivity, a continuous reduction in the magnetic fluidized bed reactor system (MFBRS) was completed. Under their optimal transformation conditions, it took 24 h for Fe 3 O 4 -Arg-Cells to complete the conversion of ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (COBE) (0.8553 mol/L) in the shaker and only 8 h for the batch reduction in an alternating magnetic field. Continuous reduction in MFBRS provided new ideas for the efficient production of ( R )-CHBE; 1.5882 mol/L (10 mL) of COBE can be completely converted in 6 h. The conversion and enantiomeric excess (e.e.) of ( R )-CHBE were 100 % and above 99.9 % respectively, in the three reaction systems mentioned above.

Poly(α-methylene ester)s are an attractive type of functional aliphatic polyesters that represent a platform for the fabrication of various biodegradable and biomedical polymers. Herein, we report the controlled ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of a seven-membered α-methylene lactone (3-methylene-1,5-dioxepan-2-one, MDXO) that was synthesized based on the Baylis–Hillman reaction. The chemoselective ROP of MDXO was catalyzed by diphenyl phosphate (DPP) at 60 °C or stannous octoate (Sn(Oct)2) at 130 °C, generating α-methylene-containing polyester (PMDXO) with a linear structure and easily tunable molar mass. The ring-opening copolymerization of MDXO with ε-caprolactone or 1,5-dioxepan-2-one was also performed under the catalysis of DPP or Sn(Oct)2 to afford copolymers with different compositions and sequence structures that are influenced by the kinds of monomers and catalysts. PMDXO is a slowly crystallizable polymer with a glass transition temperature of ca. −33 °C, and its melting temperature and enthalpy are significantly influenced by the thermal history. The thermal properties of the copolymers are dependent on their composition and sequence structure. Finally, the post-modification of PMDXO based on the thiol-Michael addition reaction was briefly explored using triethylamine as a catalyst. Given the optimized condition, PMDXO could be dually modified to afford biodegradable polyesters with different functionalities.

A highly sensitive coating comprising 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) monolayer modified electrospun polystyrene (PS) membranes was constructed on the electrode of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) for Cu 2+ detection. The three-dimensional fibrous PS membranes with high specific surface area (SSA) were deposited on the electrode of QCM via electrospinning. The PS membranes were sputter coated with gold, then modified with self-assembled monolayer of MPA. The PS-MPA sensors showed fast response (2–3 s) to Cu 2+ and a detection limit down to 100 ppb. Additionally, sensor sensitivity increased concurrently with both increasing PS loading and SSA on QCM electrodes . The response of the PS-MPA sensors with a PS membrane loading of 978 Hz and SSA of 43.31 m 2 /g was 40 times larger than that without membranes when exposed to 1 ppm of Cu 2+ . The sensor responses were reproducible toward Cu 2+ in the 100–5 ppm concentration range, whereas a linear response was found in the 100–1 ppm concentration range. The sensor response to Cu 2+ showed a linear relationship with an increase in pH from 2 to 7. Moreover, the sensors also exhibited chelation selectivity for other transition metal ions in the descending order Cu 2+ > Ni 2+ > Zn 2+ > Fe 2+ at concentration between 1 and 5 ppm.

The green nitrogen-rich coordination compound Cd(SCZ)2(AFT)2 (1) (AFT =4-amino-3-(5-tetrazolate)-furazan and SCZ = semicarbazide) was first synthesized and characterized by EA and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR). The single crystal was cultivated and determined with X-ray diffraction. It revealed that 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c. A Cd2+ ion is coordinated by four N atoms and two O atoms to form a distorted octahedral structure. Among them, two nitrogen atoms are from the two AFT ions and the other four atoms are from two SCZ molecules. The thermal decomposition behavior of 1 was studied with DSC and TG-DTG methods. The apparent activation energy (E), thermal stability, and safety parameters (T

Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are expected to replace liquid electrolytes in lithium metal batteries (LMBs) with good safety and mechanical strength. However, the existing problems of the Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) electrolyte, like its poor contact with electrodes, serious side reactions and low ionic conductivity, limit its practical application. In this work, a chlorine (Cl)-doped LATP electrolyte showing a high ionic conductivity of 0.423 mS cm−1 was successfully synthesized. Neutron powder diffraction (NPD) results reveal that the change of the Li+ coordination environment after Cl doping has an effect on the ion diffusion path in the bulk LATP. The fabricated Li symmetric battery with the Cl-doped LATP exhibits long-term compatibility and electrochemical stability against the lithium metal anode. The enhanced performance may be attributed to the in situ formed stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer. Meanwhile, compared to the LATP electrolyte, the Li|LiFePO4 (LFP) full battery with Cl-doped LATP as an electrolyte has an improved rate performance and cycling performance. This work demonstrates that Cl doping may be an effective approach for improving the performance of the LATP electrolyte.

Parkin ( PARK2 ) deficiency is frequently observed in various cancers and potentially promotes tumor progression. Here, we showed that Parkin expression is downregulated in liver cancer tissues, which correlates with poor patient survival. Parkin deficiency in liver cancer cells promotes migration and metastasis as well as changes in EMT and metastasis markers. A negative correlation exists between TMEFF1 and Parkin expression in liver cancer cells and tumor tissues. Parkin deficiency leads to upregulation of TMEFF1 which promotes migration and metastasis. TMEFF1 transcription is activated by Parkin-induced endogenous TGF-β production and subsequent phosphorylation of Smad2/3 and its binding to TMEFF1 promotor. TGF-β inhibitor and TMEFF1 knockdown can reverse shParkin-induced cell migration and changes of EMT markers. Parkin interacts with and promotes the ubiquitin-dependent degradation of HIF-1α/HIF-1β and p53, which accounts for the suppression of TGF-β production. Our data have revealed that Parkin deficiency in cancer leads to the activation of the TGF-β/Smad2/3 pathway, resulting in the expression of TMEFF1 which promotes cell migration, EMT, and metastasis in liver cancer cells.

Novel low temperature sintered Li 4 Mg 3 [Ti 0.8 (Mg 1/3 Ta 2/3 ) 0.2 ] 2 O 9 (LMT 0.8 (MT) 0.2 ) ceramics with 1–5 wt% LiF additives were successfully prepared by the solid-state reaction method. The effects of LiF additives on the phase composition, sintering characteristic, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of LMT 0.8 (MT) 0.2 ceramics were investigated in detail for the first time. The sintering temperature of LMT 0.8 (MT) 0.2 ceramics could be effectively lowered to 950 °C by the addition of LiF. A single rock salt crystalline phase structure belonging to a space group of Fm-3m (No.225) was obtained through X-ray diffraction patterns. Dense uniform morphology was observed at 950 °C for LMT 0.8 (MT) 0.2 ceramics with 3–5 wt% LiF in terms of scanning electron microscopy photographs. Particularly, the LMT 0.8 (MT) 0.2 -4 wt% LiF ceramics sintered at 950 °C for 4 h possessed optimum microwave dielectric properties of ε r = 16.10, Q·f = 114,313 GHz (at 8.18 GHz) and τ f = −7.72 ppm/°C. In addition, the excellent chemical compatibility with silver metal electrodes indicated that the LMT 0.8 (MT) 0.2 -4 wt% LiF ceramics might be a promising candidate for the low-loss low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) applications in microwave devices.

The search of novel second-harmonic generation crystals in gallium selenite systems results in three new compounds of MGa2(SeO3)4 (M = Sr, Pb) and BiGa(SeO3)3. The isostructural MGa2(SeO3)4 (M = Sr, Pb) are centrosymmetric (P1̅, no. 2). The structures represent a complicated three-dimensional skeleton containing two different types of Ga4Se4 8-member polyhedral ring tunnels with the counter cations located at the broad ones. When the divalent counter cations were substituted by a trivalent lone pair cation of Bi(III), a novel noncentrosymmetric compound of BiGa(SeO3)3 was achieved. BiGa(SeO3)3 displays a 3D gallium selenite framework with 1D bismuth oxide chains filling in the 12-member polyhedral ring tunnels. Frequency doubling measurements showed that BiGa(SeO3)3 presented an apparent SHG signal comparable to the commercial KDP and can realize phase matching. The lone pair anionic groups of SeO32– made the major contribution according to the SHG density analyses. BiGa(SeO3)3 exhibits a wide transparent range and large optical bandgap (3.90 eV). The laser-induced damage threshold of BiGa(SeO3)3 was estimated to be 98.68 MW/cm2, about 44 × AGS.

D-allulose is a natural rare sugar with important physiological properties that is used in food, health care items, and even the pharmaceutical industry. In the current study, a novel D-allulose 3-epimerase gene (Bp-DAE) from the probiotic strainBlautia producawas discovered for the production and characterization of an enzyme known as Bp-DAE that can epimerize D-fructose into D-allulose. Bp-DAE was strictly dependent on metals (Mn2+and Co2+), and the addition of 1 mM of Mn2+could enhance the half-life of Bp-DAE at 55 °C from 60 to 180 min. It exhibited optimal activity in a pH of 8 and 55 °C, and theKmvalues of Bp-DAE for the different substrates D-fructose and D-allulose were 235.7 and 150.7 mM, respectively. Bp-DAE was used for the transformation from 500 g/L D-fructose to 150 g/L D-allulose and exhibited a 30% of conversion yield during biotransformation. Furthermore, it was possible to employ the food-grade microbial speciesBacillus subtilisfor the production of D-allulose using a technique of whole-cell catalysis to circumvent the laborious process of enzyme purification and to obtain a more stable biocatalyst. This method also yields a 30% conversion yield.Keywords:D-allulose 3-epimerase;D-allulose;Blautia produca;probiotics;biochemical characterization;biotransformation

Red-light-emitting materials, as pivotal components of warm white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs), have drawn increasing public focus. Among these, Mn4+-doped red light-emitting fluorides have drawn considerable attention when combined with an InGaN chip; however, they suffer from poor water stability under humid conditions. In this work, a novel fluoride red phosphor, Cs30(Nb2O2F9)9(OH)3·H2O:xMn4+ (CNOFM), with good water resistance was synthesized for the first time using a facile co-precipitation method at ambient temperature. Experiments were implemented for the precise analysis of its crystal structure, optical properties, micro-morphology, thermal behavior, and waterproof properties. 6.66% Mn4+-doped CNOFM maintained a stable crystal structure and possessed strong PL intensity located at 633 nm with high color purity of 96%. CNOFM showed better thermal and waterproof stability compared with the commercial K2SiF6:Mn4+ red phosphor. Without any surface modifications, the PL intensity remained at about 83% of the initial value after immersion in water for 60 min, and the mechanism was investigated. Finally, a warm WLED with a CRI of 92.3 and CCT of 3271 K was fabricated using the CNOFM red phosphor.
