Fluoride coating can reduce the ignition temperature, enhance the burning rate and inhibit the agglomeration of aluminum powder. However, the addition of non-energetic fluoride can reduce the energy of aluminum powder. In this study, for the first time, 3-Perfluorohexyl-1,2-epoxypropane (PFHP) was coated on the surface of aluminum powder, which reacted with glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) in situ to form core–shell Al@PFHP@GAP. Compared with raw aluminum powder, Al@PFHP@GAP not only significantly reduced ignition temperature (about 150 °C), but also greatly improved the combustion efficiency (from 87.7% to 97.6%). Besides, the heat of combustion was also greatly increased by 6.3%, compared with that of raw aluminum powder. Such performances were outstanding among the existing coated Al. In addition, the formation of coating shell effectively improved the hydrophobicity and corrosion resistance of the aluminum powder. In a word, our derived Al@PFHP@GAP provided a novel rationale for aluminum powder with greatly enhanced combustion performance.

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is rich in phenols, vitamins, carotenoids, and mineral elements, such as selenium. Additionally, it contains the active ingredients sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol, which have been demonstrated to have pharmacological effects. In this study, sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol were extracted and quantified from rapeseeds using quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe (QuEChERS) method coupled with ultra high performance liquid chromarography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). The major parameters for extraction and purification efficiency were optimized, including the hydrolysis reaction, extraction condition and type and amount of purification adsorbents. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) for sulforaphane were 0.05 μg/kg and 0.15 μg/kg, and for indole-3-carbinol were 5 μg/kg and 15 μg/kg, respectively. The developed method was used to successfully analyze fifty rapeseed samples. The QuEChERS coupled with UHPLC-MS/MS simultaneously detect sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol in vegetable matrix and evaluate the quality and nutrition of rapeseed samples.Keywords:sulforaphane;indole-3-carbinol;QuEChERS;quantification;UHPLC-MS/MS

3-Amino-1-adamantanol (3AA) is an important intermediate of vildagliptin. In this work, a fully continuous flow synthesis of 3-amino-1-adamantanol has been proposed. Selecting amantadine sulfate (AS) as the starting material, the effects of process parameters were systematically investigated, such as the molar ratio of reactants, the amount of sulfuric acid and reaction temperature. The kinetics of nitration reaction were carried out in both batch and continuous flow processes to explain the relationship between the amount of sulfuric acid and the reaction rate constant. Based on the apparent reaction rate constants and thermodynamic parameters, a fully continuous flow synthesis of 3AA combining nitration, hydrolysis and neutralization reaction has been realized. Compared with the batch method, the reaction time was shortened from 8 h to 36 min, the side reactions were significantly inhibited, and the yield increased from 87.8 % to 95.2 % by continuous flow strategy.

Metal zinc is used as anode in aqueous zinc-ion batteries due to its environmental protection, abundant storage, and high theoretical capacity. However, zinc anode has many challenges such as side reactions and zinc dendrites, which impede the further development of aqueous zinc-ion batteries. A facile strategy of constructing Sn doped NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NTP/Sn) protective layer on surface of zinc anode (Zn@NTP/Sn) was adopted to enhance the cycling stability of zinc anode in this work. Sn doped NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 was used to realize high-performance zinc anode via the structure design and interfacial characteristics, which are beneficial to accelerating transfer of Zn 2+ and improving interface performance. The average voltage hysteresis of Zn@NTP/Sn symmetric cell is only 17.4 mV at the current density of 0.4 mA cm −2 , which is much lower than that of bare Zn (75.8 mV) and Zn@NTP (43.7 mV) symmetric cells. Furthermore, Zn-MnO 2 full cell using Zn@NTP/Sn anode also shows good cycling performance. After 500 cycles at a current density of 1.2 A g −1 , Zn@NTP/Sn-MnO 2 full cell has the highest capacity of 124.2 mAh g −1 . While the bare Zn-MnO 2 and Zn@NTP-MnO 2 full cells only have 39.3 mAh g −1 and 74.2 mAh g −1 . The excellent electrochemical performance is related to improvement of wettability , increase of cell volume, and reduction of side reactions. In general, this work realizes a synergistic strategy combining structural design and interfacial modification by doping Sn for NTP as a protective coating layer for zinc anode, which provides a simple strategy for high-performance rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries.

All-solid-sate batteries (ASSBs) with a NASICON-type solid-state electrolyte (SSE) of Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) can be accepted as a promising candidate to significantly improve safety and energy density due to their high oxidation potential and high ionic conductivity. However, thermodynamic instability between the cathode and LATP is scarcely investigated during cosintering preparation for the integrated configuration of ASSBs. Herein, the structural compatibility between commercially layered LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 (NCM523) and LATP SSE was systematically investigated by cosintering at 600 °C. It is noticeable that an extreme side reaction between Li from NCM523 and phosphate from LATP happens during its cosintering process, leading to a severe phase transition from a layered to a spinel structure with high Li/Ni mixing. Consequently, the capacity of NCM523 is lost during the preparation of the NCM523–LATP composite cathode. Based on this, we suggested that the interface modification of the NCM523/LATP interface is valued significantly to inhibit this extreme side reaction, quickening the application of LATP-based ASSBs.

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

The medicinal plants were wildly library of natural products in drug discovery. The most active molecules with seven-membered rings skeleton represent a challenge for construction. A stereoselectivity (4 + 3) cycloadditions between allenyl ethers and substituted furans induced by chiral auxiliaries has been investigated. And the results showed significant stereoselectivities and regioselectivities. The optical cycloadducts with an oxygen-substituted seven-membered ring framework were generated by removing chiral auxiliaries under acidic conditions. The antiproliferative activity of the novel compounds displayed moderate antiproliferative effects toward T47D cells.

The demand for sustainable energy sources urges the development of efficient and earth-abundant electrocatalysts . Herein, chlorine assisted ion-exchange and in-situ sulfurization processes were combined to construct CuCo 2 S 4 @(Cu,Co) 2 Cl(OH) 3 heterostructures from Cu(OH) 2 nanoarrays. Chlorine element in the cobalt source stimulated the formation of (Cu,Co) 2 Cl(OH) 3 precursor, and further facilitated partial transformation of the precursor to CuCo 2 S 4 on the surface to achieve composite structure. The mixed valences of Co element (Co 3+ in CuCo 2 S 4 and Co 2+ in (Cu,Co) 2 Cl(OH) 3 ) and O S interpenetrated nanointerface in the composite catalysts provided low electron transfer resistance for good alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activities. In 1 mol L −1 KOH electrolyte, the overpotentials of the optimal composite catalyst reached 253 and 290 mV respectively at the current density of 20 and 50 mA cm −2 , which is comparable to the activity of commercial Ir/C (281 mV@20 mA cm −2 ). These findings could provide opportunities for designing effective and inexpensive composite electrocatalysts through nanointerface engineering strategy.

Current in vitro antioxidant assays have several limitations, which frequently cause inconsistent results. The study develops a new antioxidant assay using the 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl 3-oxide radical (PTIO•). After the investigation of various factors, the experimental protocol was briefly recommended as follows: PTIO• and the sample solution were added to phosphate buffer (pH 7.4, 50 mM), incubated at 37 °C for 2 h, and then spectrophotometrically measured at 557 nm. The validation test based on 20 pure compounds and 30 lyophilized aqueous extracts suggested that PTIO• scavenging had a good linear relationship, stability, and reproducibility. In the ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry analysis, PTIO• was observed to give m/z 234 when encountering l-ascorbic acid. As an antioxidant assay, PTIO• scavenging possesses four advantages, i.e., oxygen-centered radical, physiological aqueous solution, simple and direct measurement, and less interference from the tested sample. It can also satisfactorily analyze the antioxidant structure–activity relationship. PTIO• scavenging has no stereospecificity and is at least involved in H+ transfer.

A novel ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical immunosensor was fabricated based on 3-mercaptopropionic acid stabilized CdS/reduced graphene oxide (MPA-CdS/RGO) nanocomposites for indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) detection. The MPA-CdS/RGO nanocomposites were synthesized by in situ solvothermal growth of triangulated pyramidal CdS nanoparticles on the RGO sheet. 3-Mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) was employed as the modifier and bridge to immobilize the antibody. The nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy , scanning electron microscopy and UV/vis spectra. The results showed that the MPA-CdS/RGO nanocomposites revealed enhanced photocurrent response due to excellent electron transport properties of RGO and the improved assembly of CdS nanoparticles onto RGO sheet with the introduction of MPA. Based on the dependence of the photocurrent decline on the concentration of IAA, the proposed photoelectrochemical immunosensor for IAA depicted a linear range from 0.1 to 1000 ng/mL with a lower detection limit (0.05 ng/mL). The high sensitivity, reproducibility and specificity of the method permitted the method suitable to be used in real samples.
