Poor visible light (VSL) absorption capacity and severe photogenerated carrier recombination rate are the two major problems limiting the application of g-C 3 N 4 (CN). In this work, a novel 2D/1D Bi 2 O 2 Se/tubular g-C 3 N 4 (TCN) Schottky junction photocatalyst was prepared by combining 2D Bi 2 O 2 Se with TCN at room temperature. The degradation rate of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) catalyzed by 5% Bi 2 O 2 Se/TCN composite was 85.3% within 30 min under VSL illumination, and the degradation kinetic constant reached 0.0570 min −1 , which was 9.6, 3.3, and 21.9 times higher than those of CN (0.0059 min −1 ), TCN (0.0173 min −1 ), and Bi 2 O 2 Se (0.0026 min −1 ), respectively. When 2D Bi 2 O 2 Se was combined with TCN as a cocatalyst, the Schottky junction was formed at the interface, which could efficiently transfer the photogenerated electrons in TCN to Bi 2 O 2 Se for enhancing photocarriers separation. In addition, Bi 2 O 2 Se enhanced the VSL light absorption performance of TCN. The main active species produced by Bi 2 O 2 Se/TCN under VSL illumination were h + and •O 2 − . Based on the results of LC-MS, a new degradation path of TCH catalyzed by Bi 2 O 2 Se/TCN was proposed. Therefore, this work proposed a novel Bi 2 O 2 Se/TCN Schottky junction photocatalyst for highly efficient removal of TCH.

Parkinson’s disease (PD), known as a neurodegenerative disease, is characterized by movement disorders, with increasing age being the predominant risk factor for its development. Mangiferin, a bioactive compound isolated from mango, shows potent neuroprotection. In our work, we investigated the neuroprotection and mechanisms of mangiferin against PD. We established PD models by treating SH-SY5Y cells with rotenone and mice with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and investigated the therapeutic effects of mangiferin. Our results showed that mangiferin exhibited a cell-protective effect. Mangiferin also improved the motor behavior and attenuated the activation of microglia and astrocytes in MPTP mice. In addition, mangiferin decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and increased glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Mangiferin also markedly activated GIT1, p-ERK, Nrf2, HO-1, and SOD expression and inhibited Keap1 expression in vitro and in vivo. To further investigate the role of GIT1, GIT1 siRNA was used. In the presence of GIT1 siRNA, the neuroprotection of mangiferin in PD was weakened. Our results indicate that mangiferin exhibited its therapeutic effect against PD by regulating GIT1 and its downstream Keap1/Nrf2 pathways. Our studies exhibited that mangiferin showed neuroprotection in PD, and its main target was GIT1. What is more, mangiferin could reduce the oxidative stress of PD by targeting GIT1 and its downstream Keap1/Nrf2 pathways. These indicated that mangiferin is a good candidate for PD therapy. However, the role of p-ERK in mangiferin-treated PD requires further investigation.

Photocatalytic reduction of soluble hexavalent uranium to insoluble tetravalent uranium is a promising strategy for uranium-containing wastewater treatment, while this method generally requires anaerobic conditions and/or the addition of sacrificial agents. Obviously, providing anaerobic environment and sacrificial agent will not only increase the cost but also causes secondary pollution. Thus, efficient removal of U(VI) by photocatalytic techniques under air atmosphere without sacrificial agents is an urgent task and great challenge. In this work, a novel O, K co-doped g-C 3 N 4 (OKDCN) photocatalyst was synthesized by a simple thermal reaction for the photoreduction removal of U(VI) under air atmosphere without sacrificial agents. Batch experiments show that the OKDCN-2 can nearly completely remove U(VI) in the solution within 120 min at pH 5.0. In addition, the OKDCN showed excellent reusability and selectivity in the process of photocatalytic reduction of U(VI). Further mechanism studies show the doping of O and K can improve the photogenerated carrier transfer and separation efficiency of OKDCN, and then improve the performance of photocatalytic reduction of uranium. These results provide a reference for breaking through some bottleneck issues in the research field of photocatalytic removal of U(VI).

A novel phosphorus and oxygen co-doped graphitic carbon nitride (sheetP-O-CNSSA) photocatalyst was successfully synthesized and applied for H2evolution under visible light. In the synthesis process ofsheetP-O-CNSSA, the supramolecular complex was developed by the self-assembly and copolymerization reaction among melamine, cyanuric acid (CA) and trithiocyanuric acid (TCA) to act as g-C3N4precursors, while (NH4)2HPO4was applied as P and O precursors for element doping. The chemical structures, morphologies, and optical properties of thesheetP-O-CNSSAwere characterized by a series of measurements, i.e., XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, UV-vis DRS, and PL. The results suggested that the introduction of P and O elements could enhance the separation and migration efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes in the energy band of g-C3N4. The photocatalytic tests over Erythrosin B (EB) sensitizedsheetP-O-CNSSAindicated that the hydrogen evolution was greatly enhanced compared with other catalysts and non-sensitizedsheetP-O-CNSSAunder visible light irradiation. Finally, a possible dye-sensitized photocatalysis mechanism was also proposed on the basis of the as-obtained results.Keywords:P-O-co-doped g-C3N4;self-assembly;dye sensitization;hydrogen evolution

Flexibility and self-cleaning are the main research hot-spots in the development of plasma substrates for practical applications in Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) at present. In this study, a flexible composite Au@Ag/ultrathin g-C 3 N 4 /Graphene (AUG) film based on PDMS film was reported and used as a highly sensitive SERS substrate for the detection of rhodamine 6G (R6G) molecules. The Au@Ag nanosphere array formed by self-assembly provided dense hot-spots, the ultrathin g-C 3 N 4 enabled the composite to possess excellent photocatalytic ability, and the graphene enhanced SERS detection and photocatalytic performance while improving the stability of the composite film . The results showed that the AUG flexible composite film had a detection limit of 10 −12 M for R6G molecules. After 10 photocatalytic cycles of testing, the composite film maintained 83 % of SERS activity. Benefiting from the graphene covering the surface, the composite films showed only a 5 % decrease in SERS detection performance after 30 days of storage in air. The facile fabrication process of AUG composite film enables it to be an outstanding candidate for the flexible, inexpensive, and stable wearable SERS sensing systems.

Sialylated immunoglobulin G (IgG) is a kind of glycoproteins in breast milk with the property of anti-inflammation. Our previous work showed that sialylated IgG could significantly promote the growth of Bifidobacterium in the gut microbiota of healthy volunteers. Nevertheless, whether sialylated IgG can benefit patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) as prebiotics remains unclear. Therefore, its prebiotic effect on the gut microbiota of IBD patients was investigated by in vitro fermentation in this study. The results showed that sialylated IgG could significantly enhance the diversity, richness and composition of gut microbiota in IBD samples compared with non-sialylated IgG. In detail, sialylated IgG not only improved the growth of three common genera ( Romboutsia , Prevotella and Akkermansia ) with low relative abundance in IBD samples but also increased the genera ( Bifidobacterium , Actinomyces , Atopobium and Citrobacter ) with low relative abundance both in healthy and IBD fecal samples. Correspondingly, the contents of short-chain fatty acids for fermentation group of fecal sample from IBD patients with sialylated IgG as the carbon source were higher than those for fermentation group of fecal sample from IBD patients with non-sialylated IgG as the carbon source. In addition, the metabolic pathway results confirmed that sialylated IgG upregulated the functional genes related to hydrolysis , absorption and utilization of carbohydrates . The transcriptome sequencing results further showed that sialylated IgG could induce particular gene expression of Bifidobacterium bifidum to modulate the gut microbiota of IBD patients. Thus, as a kind of natural dietary component, sialylated IgG has potential applications in treating IBD.

A novel g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets (g-C 3 N 4 NSs)-assisted upconversion fluorescent aptasensor was proposed for Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) detection by adopting hybridization chain reaction (HCR) as a sensitizer. Two hairpin (H1 and H2) structured DNA probes were engineered predicated on the partial complementary sequence (cDNA) of S. aureus aptamer and modified on the exterior of the upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), respectively. The presence of S. aureus initiated the HCR system and activated H1 and H2 probes to form a double-helix away from the g-C 3 N 4 NSs vicinity. This led to the decrease in peroxidase-like activity (PA) of the g-C 3 N 4 NSs and corresponding fluorescence recovery proportional to the concentration of S. aureus (10-10 6 cfu mL −1 ). The method was applied to real food samples with acceptable recoveries (91.1–101.6%) and further validated by traditional plate counting method (p > 0.05).

In this study, multi-morphological g-C 3 N 4 / Fe 2 O 3 were prepared via hydrothermal supramolecular preorganization for the removal of formaldehyde in simulated indoor environments . We synthesized bulk, spherical and tubular g-C 3 N 4 under hydrothermal conditions and subsequently attached Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles by impregnation method. Tubular g-C 3 N 4 /Fe 2 O 3 (27.46 m 2 /g) and spherical g-C 3 N 4 /Fe 2 O 3 (33.50 m 2 /g) synthesized through hydrothermal supramolecular preorganization method possessed the higher specific surface area than bulk g-C 3 N 4 /Fe 2 O 3 (11.05 m 2 /g). Among three morphologies of g-C 3 N 4 /Fe 2 O 3 , tubular g-C 3 N 4 /Fe 2 O 3 exhibited the best performance (65%) than bulk (41%) and spherical (59%) and possessed favorable stability. In addition, we explored and optimized the effects of different indoor simulation conditions (formaldehyde concentration, relative humidity, light source power) on the photocatalytic removal of formaldehyde. The mechanism was proposed that g-C 3 N 4 /Fe 2 O 3 formed Z-type heterojunction to promote the separation of photo-generated electrons and holes, further generating hydroxyl radical and superoxide radical to oxidize formaldehyde.

Photocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) is an effective mean to address the current environmental and energy issues. As a kind of typical photocatalyst, g-C 3 N 4 possesses lots of advantages (i.e . , facile synthesis, visible-light response, and high stability) in CO 2 reduction. However, the poor capacity of CO 2 capture and rapid recombination of photo-generated electron and hole, both hinder the further development of g-C 3 N 4 for CO 2 RR. Herein, we developed a template co-pyrolysis strategy to prepare C–NH x -rich ( x = 1 or 2) g-C 3 N 4 , to increase the CO 2 binding and the subsequent photocatalytic CO 2 reduction efficiency. Specifically, organic molecules with multiple imino groups were used as additives to co-pyrolyze with urea. These additives can act as templates to facilitate the formation of g-C 3 N 4 with abundant C–NH x groups, which effectively improved the capacity of CO 2 capture. Meanwhile, the capacity of light absorption and the separation of photo-generated electron and hole were also optimized. As a result, the obtained C–NH x -rich g-C 3 N 4 showed greatly enhanced photocatalytic activity for CO 2 RR, over 74-fold higher than that of g-C 3 N 4 conventionally prepared. This work provides a new avenue for optimizing the g-C 3 N 4 -based photocatalysts for CO 2 RR.
