A novel MXene/MOF derivative N-Ti 3 C 2 /PC composite was successfully synthesized through in-situ nucleation and conversion of ZIF-8 on 2D hierarchical Ti 3 C 2 MXene nanosheets. Due to the insertion of ZIF-8, the restacking of Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets was effectively avoided, thus its electrochemical properties was significantly improved. The obtained N-Ti 3 C 2 /PC composite was constructed for the detection of 4-aminophenol (4-AP) and acetaminophen (ACOP) simultaneously. The results showed that the as-fabricated electrochemical sensor owned excellent electrocatalytic activity for 4-AP and ACOP, which was attributed to the synergistic effect of N-Ti 3 C 2 and PC that accelerating the electron transfer on the electrode surface. Under optimum experimental conditions, the linear detection range was 1–150 μM for 4-AP and ACOP. The detection limits (LODs) for 4-AP and ACOP were evaluated to be 0.059 μM and 0.050 μM (signal-to-noise ratios, S/N = 3) respectively. Furthermore, the N-Ti 3 C 2 /PC electrochemical sensor was employed to determine 4-AP and ACOP in industrial wastewater and paracetamol tablets, and satisfying recoveries were obtained. Consequently, the N-Ti 3 C 2 /PC composite is expected to have a wide range of applications in electrochemical for detecting of environmental pollutants.

Tyrosinase (TYR) is as a well-known polyphenol oxidase and important biomarker of melanocytic lesions. Thus, developing powerful methods to determine TYR activity is of great value in the early diagnosis of skin disease. Direct surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of biomolecules is usually affected by non-specific interference and complicate structure of the analytes. It is a challenge to develop Raman-active molecules with specific recognition to analytes in complex media. Here, we report a novel colorimetric and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) dual-readout assay for the determination of TYR using commercially available and economical 4-mercaptophenyl boronic acid (4-MPBA) as a Raman-active and recognition molecule. 4-MPBA provides a unique interactive boronic acid group to the diol group of TYR substrate and exhibits good SERS signal. Also, the introduction of magnetic beads could promptly improve the anti-interference ability of dual-mode sensor. The TYR-incubated tyramine-modified magnetic beads could obviously change the concentration of 4-MPBA-AuNPs in the presence of O 2 and ascorbic acid , where the ultraviolet visible (UV–vis) absorption and SERS intensity were directly related to the concentration of TYR added. The dual-mode sensor had a rapid response to TYR within 1 min under optimized conditions and had high selectivity for TYR with a limit of detection at 0.001 U/mL. In addition, the dual-mode strategy showed promising prospects in the determination of TYR activity in serum samples and could be used to screen TYR inhibitors.

Two-dimensional (2D) organic–inorganic perovskite hybrid materials with enhanced stability have attracted wide attention in optoelectronic field in recent years. Efforts of exploring new 2D perovskites with various organic or inorganic components have been devoted to further improve their solar cell efficiencies. In this work, three structurally similar spacer cations of phenylethylammonium (PEA), 4-bromophenylethylammonium (BPEA) and 4-chlorophenylethylammonium (CPEA) are selected to prepare multilayered 2D perovskites. It is found that the introduction of halogen atoms in the organic cations positively influences the film quality, light absorption, charge transport, device performance and moisture stability of the resulting perovskites. The (BPEA) 2 (MA) 4 Pb 5 I 16 and (CPEA) 2 (MA) 4 Pb 5 I 16 perovskites exhibit efficiencies of 7.38% and 10.88%, respectively, which are much higher than that of (PEA) 2 (MA) 4 Pb 5 I 16 (3.98%). Owning to the larger size and bigger electronegativity of halogen atom in spacer cations, the PCE of unsealed BPEA- and CPEA-based 2D perovskite devices maintains 73% and 63% of their original efficiency after 720 h exposure to 60% humid air, while the PEA-based 2D device decreases to 52% of its initial PCE. Our work demonstrates new insight to modify the quality and stability of 2D perovskite hybrids, highlighting the validity of molecule design of organic cations in improving the efficiency and stability of 2D perovskite solar cells.

Precious metal nanometric catalysts are widely used in the removal of harmful substances. In the process of synthesis and catalytic reaction, it is particularly important to study green and simple synthesis methods and high catalytic efficiency. In this paper, a green one-step method was used to synthesize the Fe(OH)3/Fe2O3@Au composite catalyst, in which Au was single atom-dispersed. The removal of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), a typical dangerous chemical widely existing in factory waste gas, waste water and automobile exhaust gas, was catalysed by Fe(OH)3/Fe2O3@Au. The catalytic performance of Fe(OH)3/Fe2O3@Au with different synthesis conditions (different amounts of MES, NaBH4, FeSO4, Au and Pt) on the 4-NP reduction reaction were systematically studied. Finally, the stability and recyclability of Fe(OH)3/Fe2O3@Au composite nanocatalyst were investigated thoroughly.

A modular approach was applied for the synthesis of bienzyme-polymer nanoconjugates (nano-BECs) (50–70 nm) consisting of two enzymes (carbonyl reductase and glucose dehydrogenase) conjugated within a single universal polymer scaffold. The amount of the product ethyl (R)-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyrate (R-HPBE) with nano-BECs as the catalyst was 533 mM in a dibutyl phthalate-phosphate buffer (dibutyl phthalate-PB) biphasic system, while the amount of R-HPBE was 349 mM using carbonyl reductase-poly(acrylic acid) as the catalyst, indicating that the nano-BECs have an advantage for coenzyme regeneration. Compared with a single aqueous phase, the substrate treatment capacity was improved at the interface of the dibutyl phthalate-PB biphasic system. Under the optimal reaction conditions (35 °C, 40 h, dibutyl phthalate-PB 1: 1), nano-BECs can completely convert substrate into optically pure R-HPBE (enantiomeric excess (e.e.) >99.9%) in the organic-aqueous system.

PBO fiber is one of the most promising reinforcements in resin matrix composite because of its excellent mechanical properties . However, the inert and smooth surfaces make it the poor interface adhesion with resin matrix, which seriously limits the application in composites. In this article, we report a method to modify the surface of PBO fibers with 2,2-Bis (3-amino-4-hydroxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane（BisAPAF）in supercritical CO 2 to enhance interfacial properties . Chemical structures , surface elemental composition and functional groups, and surface morphology were characterized by FT-IR spectrometer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The mechanical properties of the samples were tested by a tensile tester. Static contact angle and microdebonding tests were used to characterize the wetting ability and interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of the fiber and epoxy resin. The results showed that the BisAPAF could be solved in scCO 2 and introduced more groups, –NH 2 , –OH, and –CF 3 on the fiber surface, resulting in the mechanical properties and the wettability of PBO fiber slightly improved. Moreover, the fiber surface roughness was also increased obviously. The IFSS between the modified PBO fiber and epoxy resin increased from 8.18 MPa to 31.4 MPa when the treating pressure was 14 MPa. In general, the method to modify PBO fibers surface using BisAPAF in scCO 2 can effectively improve their interfacial properties.

Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) residues in milk pose a major threat to human health, so there is an urgent need for a simple, rapid, and sensitive method for the determination of trace AFM1 in milk. In this study, a competitive immunochromatographic assay (ICA), using visual (PEI/PSS) 4 red silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) as signal amplification probes, was used for the highly sensitive detection of AFM1. The (PEI/PSS) 4 red SiNPs were used to label AFM1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) to prepare ICA for the detection of AFM1. After exploring the optimal conditions of mAb and immunoprobe dosage conditions, the lowest visual detection limit (VDL) of AFM1 in phosphate-buffered saline with Tween 20 (PBST, 10 mM, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA, 3% sucrose, 1% trehalose, and 0.5% Tween 20) can reach 0.1 pg/mL. The intuitive visually visible value of AFM1 in both PBST and milk was 10 pg/mL. The results showed that the immunochromatographic system based on high chroma color (PEI/PSS) 4 red SiNPs has high sensitivity and broad application prospects for the detection of trace AFM1 residues in milk. The high chroma (PEI/PSS) 4 red SiNPs are expected to be a convenient biomarker for improving the sensitivity of immune chromatography bands.
The schematic diagram shows the detection principle. In this work, in the competitive experiment, (PEI/PSS) 4 red SiNPs were selected as visual labeling materials, and the specific antibody combined with the labeled material was selected as an immune probe. The AFM1-BSA antigen coupled with the macromolecular BSA was fixed on the T line of the nitrocellulose (NC) membrane. The AFM1 in sample solution competes with AFM1-BSA for the specific binding site of immune probe. The detection sensitivity of this method for AFM1 is obtained by judging the change of the red signal intensity produced by the positive sample, compared with the color at the T line of the negative sample.

One of the main drawbacks of porous coordination polymers is their low stability and nonrecyclability in acidic or alkaline environments. Herein, we proposed a “coordination-copolymerization” strategy and successfully introduced covalent crosslinked skeleton into a coordination skeleton via copolymerization of di(4-vinylpyridine) zinc chloride and divinylbenzene, thus producing a polymer having a hybridized skeleton (poly(ZnVP 2 -co-DVB)). This polymer exhibits a porous structure and fluorescence and colorimetric sensing abilities toward Cu 2+ ions. More importantly, poly(ZnVP 2 -co-DVB) exhibits high skeleton stability in acidic and alkaline environments. By reintroducing zinc ions, the chemical properties, porous structure, and the sensing ability are regenerated after being destroyed in an acidic or alkaline environment, thus demonstrating its recyclability.

Fabricating catalysts with dual active sites is an effective approach for boosting the catalytic activities. In this work, a highly active catalyst with Co nanoparticles decorating on interconnected N-doped carbon nanotube clusters (Co@NCNTS) was synthesized by directly heating the ZIF-67 precursor in H 2 /Ar atmosphere. The Co nanoparticles exhibited small particle sizes (7–11 nm) and high dispersions, which will prevent the particles from coalescence and agglomeration. In addition, the intertwined NCNTS network could also provide a long-term conductivity, which will facilitate the transfer of charge carriers and effectively enhance the catalytic performance. After that, the catalytic reduction performance of the catalysts to 4-nitrophenol in the presence of NaBH 4 solution was also investigated. As expected, the as-synthesized Co@NCNTS catalyst exhibited a superior catalytic reduction ability to 4-nitrophenol in the presence of NaBH 4 solution with an almost 100% conversion ratio and a high apparent kinetic rate constant k of 0.37 min −1 . Furthermore, the pristine NCNTS also exhibited well catalytic reduction performance to 4-nitrophenol with a k constant of 0.09. The synergetic effect between Co nanoparticles and NCNTS could effectively boost the catalytic reduction performance. Thus, the excellent catalytic performance could own to the confinement effect of ZIF-67 precursors, high conductivity and synergetic effect between Co nanoparticles and NCNTS.

The present study investigating the experimental equilibrium solubility of 2-chloro-4-amino-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline (CADQ) dissolved in 12 kinds of neat organic solvents, including methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, toluene, N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), 1,4-dioxane, and cyclohexanone, was determined in an equilibrium state by means of the isothermal saturation method at temperature ranges of 273.15–313.15 K under normal atmospheric conditions of 101.2 kPa. The rising temperature showed the obvious positive effect on the increasing CADQ solubility gradually, and the maximum value (0.01370 at 313.15 K, in mole fraction) was observed in NMP for the studied temperature ranges. The equilibrated solid state of CADQ was characterized by applying the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer, resulting in no existences of crystal transition, solvate formation, or polymorphic transformation in the experimental process. Results showed that the mole fraction solubility of CADQ abiding the order from high to low is as follows: NMP (0.01370, 313.15 K) > DMF (0.01157, 313.15 K) > cyclohexanone (3.847 × 10–3, 313.15 K) > ethyl acetate (1.010 × 10–3, 313.15 K) > n-butanol (9.288 × 10–4, 313.15 K) > isobutyl alcohol (8.408 × 10–4, 313.15 K) > n-propanol (7.692 × 10–4, 313.15 K) > ethanol (6.934 × 10–4, 313.15 K) > isopropanol (6.220 × 10–4, 313.15 K) > methanol (5.437 × 10–4, 313.15 K) > 1,4-dioxane (2.535 × 10–4, 313.15 K) > toluene (2.174 × 10–5, 313.15 K). Then, the achieved CADQ solubility values were correlated and calculated by mathematical models containing the modified Apelblat equation and λh equation, respectively. As a consequence, the largest root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) and average relative deviation (ARD) were 1.020 × 10–4 and 2.352%, respectively, which turned out to be that the calculated data agreed well with the experimental ones.

Inhibition of phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) produces robust anti-inflammatory and antidepressant-like effects in multiple animal models. However, the detailed mechanisms have not been well studied. Receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) and inflammasome activation are implicated in the etiology of depression. Here, we aimed to investigate the involvement of RAGE and nucleotide-binding domain (NOD)–like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in the antidepressant-like effects of PDE4 inhibition in mice. We found that inhibition of PDE4 by roflupram (ROF, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/kg, i.g. ) exerted antidepressant-like effects in mice subjected to chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). Simultaneously, ROF inhibited CUMS-induced microglial activation and restored the morphology of microglial cells in the hippocampus, as evidenced by reduced total process length, area, volume, number of branching points, number of terminal points and total sholl intersections of microglia. ROF also decreased the expression of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule-1 and the level of interleukin-1β. Western blot analysis showed that PDE4 inhibition suppressed the high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1)/RAGE signaling pathway, as the levels of HMGB1, RAGE, toll-like receptor 4, phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, and nuclear factor κ-B were decreased in both hippocampus and cortex in mice after treatment with ROF. Moreover, ROF also attenuated the protein levels of NLRP3, the apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing (ASC), and cysteine-requiring aspartate protease-1 (Caspase-1), which are key proteins in the NLRP3-mediated inflammasome signaling pathway. In summary, these results demonstrate that the down-regulation of HMGB1/RAGE signaling pathway and inflammasome suppression possibly contribute to the antidepressant-like effects of PDE4 inhibitors. And, ROF has potential as a candidate drug in the treatment of depression.

In this work, we report a family of co-halogenated two-dimensional hybrid perovskites (2DHPs) based on phenethylammonium lead halogen ((PEA) 2 Pb(Cl/Br) 4 ) in which the organic cation-site (PEA) is substituted with halogen at the para-site, namely the formation of 4-halophenethylamine (X-p-PEA) (X = Cl, Br; p: para-site). The organic cations are regulated by introducing halogen ions at the para-site of the benzene ring to promote the structural distortion of the lead halide octahedral inorganic layer. Furthermore, (X-p-PEA) causes a shift in the energy band distribution of 2DHPs. In this case, the photoluminescence competition of free excitons (FEs) and self-trapped excitons (STEs) changes the microscopic relaxation process of excitons. In addition, we found that (Br-p-PEA) can increase the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). At the same time, we regulate the halogen-site of perovskites from lead-chloride perovskites (LCPs) to lead bromine perovskites (LBPs), achieving emission from white light to blue light. Therefore, the co-halogenation regulation strategy of organic cation-site and halogen-site can effectively regulate the photoluminescence wavelength and improve the PLQY. This is of great significance for the development of perovskite materials with specific optoelectronic applications.
