As a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries, the NASICON-structured Na 4 MnV(PO 4 ) 3 (NMVP) possesses a high working voltage with two discharge potential plateaus located at ∼3.4 V and 3.6 V from the V 4+ /V 3+ and Mn 3+ /Mn 2+ redox couples, respectively. However, the rate capability and cycling stability of NMVP is unsatisfactory because of the low electronic conductivity and dissolution of manganese. In this work, a series of NMVP@C-xN (x = 10, 20 and 30) was synthesized using a sol-gel method with the generation of a nitrogen-doped carbon on the surface of NMVP particles to reveal the effect of heteroatom-doped carbon coating on improving the electrochemical performance of the cathode material. Among the prepared samples, NMVP@C–20N exhibited a high initial reversible capacity of 103.8 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C and an excellent cycling stability with a capacity retention of 86.1 % after 2000 cycles at 5 C. The excellent performance of the cathode material should be ascribed to the generation of defects and active sites of the nitrogen-doped carbon coating, leading to increased electronic conductivity and diffusion rate of sodium ions.

The 3-(Methylthio) propyl isothiocyanate (MTPITC)-loaded inclusion complex prepared by α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) was incorporated into chitosan (CS) film to fabricate a packaging material for fresh chicken meat preservation. Scanning electron microscope images indicated homogenous dispersion of the MTPITC-α-CD in CS polymer. Fourier-transform infrared and X-ray diffraction techniques revealed that MTPITC-α-CD was incorporated into the CS film matrix by the physical interactions. The introduction of MTPITC-α-CD improved the UV-vis light-blocking ability, with a slight loss of transparency. Although the water solubility and water vapor barrier capacity were not significantly influenced by the addition of MTPITC-α-CD, the antioxidant attribute was significantly enhanced. The CS-MTPITC-α-CD film displayed obvious and sustained suppressive effects againstSalmonella typhimurium, with the inhibition zone diameters of 14.7 mm at 12 h and 7.3 mm at 24 h, respectively. Moreover, the quality index analysis indicated that the CS-MTPITC-α-CD film-wrapped fresh chicken, during refrigerated storage, exhibited better preservative efficacy than the control groups, with the total viable counts of 6.5 Log CFU/g, total volatile base nitrogen of 8.4 mg/100 g, pH of 6.6, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances of 0.2 mg/kg, and the sensory score of 5 at day 16. Collectively, these results suggest that CS-MTPITC-α-CD film is a prospective packaging candidate for delaying the quality deterioration of chicken meat.

L-3,4-dihydroxy-phenylalanine (L-dopa) is the most widely used drug in Parkinson's disease treatment. However, development of cost-effective and high-throughput sensors to accurate enantioselective discrimination of L-dopa and D-dopa remains challenging to date. Herein, on the basis of the peroxidase-mimic activity of chiral FexCuySe nanoparticles, we demonstrated a novel colorimetric sensor for determination of chiral dopa. The surface chiral ligand, L/D-histidine (L/D-His), endowed the nanozymes with enantioselectivity in catalyzing the oxidation of dopa enantiomers. According to the values of kcat/Km, the efficiency of L-His modified nanoparticles (L-FexCuySe NPs) towards L-dopa was 1.56 times higher than that of D-dopa. While, D-His can facilely reverse the preference of the nanozyme to D-dopa. On the basis of high catalytic activity and enantioselectivity of L-FexCuySe NPs in oxidation of L-dopa, the L-FexCuySe NPs-based system can be utilized for detection of L-dopa. The linear ranges for L-dopa determination were 5 μM–0.125 mM and 0.125 mM–1 mM with a detection limit of 1.02 μM. Critically, the developed sensor has been successfully applied in the quality control of clinical used L-dopa tablets. Our work sheds light on developing simple and sensitive chiral nanomaterials-based sensors for drug analysis.

La(OH)3 nanorods immobilized in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers (PLNFs) were fabricated for the first time by electrospinning and a subsequent in situ surfactant-free precipitation method and then applied as a highly efficient phosphate scavenger to realize nutrient-starvation antibacteria for drinking water security. The immobilization by PAN nanofibers effectively facilitated the in situ formation of the aeolotropic and well-dispersed La(OH)3 nanostructures and, thus, rendered higher phosphate removal efficiency due to more exposed active sites for binding phosphate. The maximum phosphate capture capacity of La(OH)3 nanorods in PAN nanofibers was around 8 times that of the La(OH)3 nanocrystal fabricated by precipitation without PAN protection. Moreover, remarkably fast adsorption kinetics and high removal rate were observed toward low concentration phosphate due to the high activity of our materials, which can result in a stringent phosphate-deficient condition to kill microorganisms in water effectively. The present material is also capable of preventing sanitized water from recontamination by bacteria and keeping water biologically stable for drinking. Impressively, stabilized by PAN nanofibers, the La(OH)3 nanorods can be easily separated out after reactions and avoid leaking into water. The present development has great potential as a promising antimicrobial solution for practical drinking water security and treatment with a negligible environmental footprint.

Motivated by the growing demand for noncontact temperature sensing in cryogenic environments, the development of a high performance low temperature optical thermometer has become more and more urgent. Herein, we demonstrate a new broadband emitting bismuth singly activated Ba2ZnSc(BO3)3 optical thermometric material that exhibits a remarkable temperature-dependent emission color variation and a good low temperature sensing performance. First, Bi3+ doped Ba2ZnSc(BO3)3 phosphors were successfully synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state reaction. Upon excitation at 320 nm, the emission spectra of Ba2ZnSc(BO3)3:Bi3+ cover almost the entire visible region from 350 to 720 nm because of the multiple crystallographic sites occupied by Bi3+ ions, which have been verified by structure analysis and time-resolved emission spectroscopy. Interestingly, the temperature dependent emission characteristics indicated that the thermal quenching phenomena of Bi3+ at different lattice sites were different, resulting in a very sensitive emission color variation from orange to cyan. Further analysis indicated that these Bi3+ doped luminescent materials showed a good performance in temperature sensing over a wide temperature range from 10 to 374 K, with a maximum relative sensitivity of 3.076% K−1 at 210 K. Finally, this study provides a new perspective for the design of superior thermosensitive phosphors, aimed toward non-rare earth ion doped thermosensitive phosphors for optical cryothermometry applications.

A series of 1-vinyl-3-alkylimidazolium halide ([VRIM]X) and 1-vinyl-3-esterimidazolium chloride ([VEIM]Cl) ionic liquids, a functional material with unsaturated bonds, were synthesized by using microwave-assisted synthesis method. The structures were characterized by 1H NMR. Through Gaussian09/B3PW91/6-311G (2d,p) density functional methods, the interaction energies of ion pairs of [VRIM]X and [VEIM]Cl were obtained. The relationships between the surface tensions and temperature (293.15 to 333.15) K, molecular structure, and the interaction energies of ion pairs, etc. along with the relationships between the solubility and molecular structure, common solvents, and the interaction energies of ion pairs, etc. were discussed systematically. The results showed that surface tension decreased linearly with temperature and decreased with the elongation of the alkyl chain length on cation and the decrease of interaction energies of ion pairs. With decreasing dielectric constant of solvent or the increase of the anion size, the solubility of the title ionic liquids decreased. With the elongation of the alkyl chain length, the interaction energies of ion pairs decreased, and the solubility in polar solvents had decreasing trend. The relationship between the surface tensions and solubility parameter for [VRIM]Br was expressed by using Hildebrand–Scoff equation.

NASICON-type NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 material has been extensively studied as a promising anode for sodium-ion batteries due to the open 3D framework with the large interstitial spaces, high theoretical capacity and small volume change during cycling process. However, the practical application of NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 is hampered because of its low electronic conductivity . Herein, a simple approach along with post-annealing has been designed and adopted to prepare the carbon-coated NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @C) composite. The as-prepared anode material is characterized by XRD , SEM, TEM and Raman spectrum . The electrochemical measurements reveal that NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @C has excellent Na-storage performances including high reversible capacity (112.6 mAh g − 1 at 0.2 C) and good rate capability (87.1 mAh g − 1 at 5 C). The superior electrochemical performance can be resulted from the synergistic effects of the nanosized NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 particles and conductive carbon layer .

A series of Bi 3+ /Eu 3+ co-doped Ba 3 Y(BO 3 ) 3 red-emitting phosphors were successfully prepared by the combustion method. The crystal structure and photoluminescence properties of the as-prepared phosphors were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction, photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra . In this paper, the Bi 3+ ion was employed as a sensitizer to improve the red emission intensity of Eu 3+ . The optimal doping concentration of Bi 3+ was 1 mol%. The observed excitation broad bands centered at 300 nm confirmed Bi 3+ ion doped into the Ba 3 Y(BO 3 ) 3 host. The red emission intensity of Eu 3+ was significantly enhanced by doping a small amount of Bi 3+ . Furthermore, Bi 3+ /Eu 3+ co-doped phosphor possessed admirable thermal stability (the emission intensity of studied phosphor at 423 K maintained 80.7% of the initial intensity at room temperature). The results manifest that Bi 3+ ion is an efficient sensitizer for Eu 3+ ion and Ba 3 Y(BO 3 ) 3 : 24 mol% Eu 3+ , 1 mol% Bi 3+ phosphors possess a great potential for applications in white LEDs.

A novel class of hybrid solvents (mEIP:Tetz) comprising of N-methylated ethylene imine polymer (mEIP) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrazolate ([Emim][Tetz]) were developed for the highly efficient and reversible capture of SO 2 . The synergistic interactions rather than simple mixing between mEIP and [Emim][Tetz] were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Besides, it was experimentally demonstrated that mEIP:Tetz mixtures exhibited improved kinetics for SO 2 absorption, and the production of viscous solids were completely eliminated, compared with using mEIP alone. More significantly, an exceedingly high solubility of 0.308 g SO 2 ·g −1 absorbent in 2mEIP:8Tetz was received for trapping SO 2 from simulated flue gas containing 2000 ppm SO 2 , which was much higher than most of the results reported in previous literatures under the same conditions. Finally, the absorption and desorption mechanisms were proposed according to the results of FTIR and 1 H NMR analysis.

In the present study, a practical chemoenzymatic method was developed for the synthesis of chiral phenylalanine derivative 1, which is the key intermediate of Lifitegrast. In this established process, a simple and effective Zn/HCl reduction system was employed to obtain N-acetyl-3-bromo-phenylalanine 6, which served as the substrate for the subsequent enzymatic resolution process. Then, the key chiral intermediate, 3-bromo-l-phenylalanine 7, could be obtained using acylase (ACY) AmACY. Upon process optimization, the chemical reaction was executed at a 300 g scale, with a notable substrate concentration reaching up to 100 g/L. The process achieved a yield of 40%, compared to a maximum theoretical yield of 50%, and exhibited an enantiomeric excess (ee) value reaching up to 99.9%. A simple and effective Zn/HCl reduction system was employed to obtain N-acetyl-3-bromo-phenylalanine 6, which served as the substrate for the subsequent enzymatic resolution process. This synthetic pathway was effectively executed, yielding 1·HCl with a purity of 99.7% and an ee value of 99.9%, culminating in an overall yield of 23.4%. Additionally, the undesired (D)-6 enantiomer was recycled to form (rac)-6, employing an acetanhydride/acetic acid (Ac2O/AcOH) system. This recycling process achieved a yield of 47.5%, relative to a maximum theoretical yield of 50%, and a purity level of 99.8%.
