Removal of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) from the environment is a major challenge due to their refractory, persistent and bioaccumulative properties. In this study, trace Co coupled via Co–P coordination and tourmaline (TM) doped g-C 3 N 4 was fabricated (marked as Co/TM/g-C 3 N 4 ) and used as the catalyst for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to remove emerging PFOA under visible light irradiation. Several affecting parameters were systematically investigated, inlcuding Co/TM/g-C 3 N 4 dosage, PMS concentration, initial pH, as well as coexisting Cl − , HC O 3 − , H 2 P O 4 − , N O 3 − and humic acid . Under the conditions of 0.5 g/L Co/TM/g-C 3 N 4 , 2.5 g/L PMS and pH 3.0, the developed synergistic system had the ability for 81.11% removal of PFOA within 4 h, 67.64% removal after the fourth run, and also could be effectively applied in actual water bodies. During the degradation process , π-π*, N–C N and graphite N played the vital role, with the final defluorination rate of 31.12% at 4 h. Free radical quenching and quantitative analysis, as well as electron paramagnetic resonance was used to verify the free radical and non-free radical pathways for PFOA removal, with the findings that S O 4 • − (2.61 μM at 1 h), •OH (0.067 μM at 4 h), O 2 • − , h + , and O 1 2 were involved with possible time-dependent. By liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis, the short-chain intermediates of C3–C7 were proposed and identified. From this study, trace Co coupled and TM doped g-C 3 N 4 demonstrated higher catalytic potential to activate PMS for visible-light synergistic PFOA removal, with the expectation of achieving a cleaner water environment for human beings.

In this study, a simple label-free biosensor for Brucella was constructed, which based on the screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) modified by Recombinant protein G/gold nanoparticles/graphene oxide (RpG/Au/GO). The impedance responses of the proposed biosensor were measured by electrochemical AC impedance method in Brucella antigen gradient concentration solutions. The results showed that the linear range of this biosensor was from 1.6 × 10 2 CFU/mL to 1.6 × 10 8 CFU/mL with the minimum detection limit of 3.2 × 10 2 CFU/mL (S/N = 3). Moreover, the biosensor for Brucella detection possessed acceptable reproducibility with a relative standard deviation of 5.15% and acceptable stability with a relative standard deviation of 4.68%. The spiked recovery rate in actual pasteurized milk samples was more than 92% . Therefore, the developed biosensor exhibits excellent prospects in the selective quantification detection of Brucella abortus .

The electrocatalytic hydrodeoxygenation (ECH) of lignin typical model compounds and lignin-derived oil from different tree species into (alkyl)-cyclohexane and (alkyl)-cyclohexanol in the fluidized electrocatalysis system were investigated in this research. The selected model compounds include two G-type compounds: eugenol (EO) and guaiacol (GO), and two S-type compounds: 4-allyl-2,6-dimethoxyphenol (4-DMP) and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (2,6-DMP). This ECH system consisted of phosphotungstic acid (PW 12 ) electrolyte, catalyst that suspended in the electrolyte, and NaBH 4 reductant in the cathode. The results showed that 4-DMP could be converted using Pt/C as the catalyst at 25 mA/cm 2 current density and 80°C for 60 min, with higher faradaic efficiency of 90% and the selectivity of PCH and 4-PCH was 62% and 20%, respectively. For C O bond cleavage, the DFT calculations showed that, for EO, GO, and 4-DMP, the C-OCH 3 bond will be firstly broken, while for 2,6-DMP, it is preferred that C-OH bond will be firstly broken. It was found that G-type (EO, GO) was more easily hydrodeoxygenated than S-type (4-DMP, 2,6-DMP) compounds, with the reaction rate in the order of GO > EO > 2,6-DMP > 4-DMP, indicating that the allyl group had a negative effect on the electrocatalytic conversion. Furthermore, it was also found that the complete conversion of lignin-derived oil monomers of pine (mainly G-type) and poplar (mainly S-type) can be achieved, with the yield of target products (PCH and 4-PCH) of 64% and 43%, respectively. Overall, this work innovatively integrates biomass refining and electrocatalytic upgrading, which provides a green and environmentally friendly solution for lignin conversion and utilization.

The effective monitoring of nucleotides and their metabolites is critical for the prevention of various genetic metabolic diseases. In this aspect, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) as an ultrasensitive and nondestructive sensing techniques has spurted an attractive prospect. Henceforth, an effective SERS-based analysis of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) as well as adenine was realized here by utilizing an innovative kind of self-cleaning substrate constructed with graphitic carbon nitride and Au nanoflowers (g-C 3 N 4 @Au NFs). Taking advantages of the numerous nanotip-triggered “hotspot” regions of Au NFs as well as the excellent photocatalytic degradation capability of g-C 3 N 4 matrix, the hybrid substrate not only brought about a low limit of detection (LOD) of 5.01 × 10 −10 M, but also yielded an attractive self-cleaning property. Particularly, these fascinating features of the proposed g-C 3 N 4 @Au NFs facilitated a recyclable monitoring of AMP and adenine in serum with reliable sensitivity and stability. The achieved wide linear range from 10 −4 to 1 mg/mL together with the LOD values down to 10 −5 mg/mL all envisioned that it is possible to monitor and investigate human metabolic processes by SERS protocol.

A simple and sensitive gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS) method was established for the quantitative screening of penicillin G residues in chicken and duck eggs (whole egg, yolk and albumen). The analyte was separated on a TG-1MS capillary column (30.0 m × 0.25 mm i.d., 0.25 μm) with an external calibration method and electron impact (EI) ionization. Samples were pretreated using an accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) procedure followed by solid-phase extraction (SPE) on HLB cartridges (60 mg/3 mL). The derivative, which was safer and easier to store than penicillin G, was obtained by reacting trimethylsilyl diazomethane (TMSD) with penicillin G. The method was validated by the following parameters: linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ). The matrix-matched calibration curves had good linearity (R2 ≥ 0.9994) within the concentration range of LOQ–200.0 µg/kg for penicillin G in the sample matrices. In the same concentration range, the accuracy, in terms of recovery, was 80.31–94.50%; the relative standard deviation (RSD), intra-day RSD and inter-day RSD ranged from 1.24 to 3.44%, 2.13 to 4.82% and 2.74 to 6.13%, respectively. The LODs and LOQs of penicillin G in the matrices were in the ranges of 1.70–3.20 and 6.10–8.50 μg/kg, respectively. The applicability of the GC–MS/MS method was demonstrated by the determination of poultry eggs obtained from local markets with no penicillin G residues.Keywords:penicillin G;GC–MS/MS;ASE;poultry eggs;SPE

Constructing heterojunction photocatalyst is an effective method to enhance the separation of photogenerated electron and hole, which significantly improves ability of visible light response. In this study, calcination methods have been proposed to prepare highly efficient magnetic ternary photocatalyst g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 -MnFe 2 O 4 halloysite. It showed an enhanced photocatalytic degradation for dyes (crystal violet) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (acetaminophen) under vision light irradiation. Compared to pure g-C 3 N 4 , TiO 2 , MnFe 2 O 4 halloysite and binary g-C 3 N 4 -MnFe 2 O 4 halloysite, the optimized ternary g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 -MnFe 2 O 4 halloysite displayed enhanced photodegradation efficiency with 91.1% removal of crystal violet (10 ppm) in 90 min under visible light irradiation, the optimized ternary g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 -MnFe 2 O 4 halloysite composite showed significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity with more than 79.1% removal of acetaminophen (10 ppm) within 90 min under visible light. The photocatalytic mechanism was identified through the free radical quenching experiment. The heterojunction photocatalyst could be easily recovered by an extra magnetic field and reused several times without any obvious deterioration in catalytic activity. Besides, the ternary heterojunction also exhibited antibacterial ability against Escherichia coli . The superior photocatalytic performance of composite should be mainly attributed to both the improvement of light harvesting as well as the enhanced separation and transfer efficiency. It is expected that this novel ternary visible-light responding composite would be a promising candidate material for organic pollutants degradation and bacteria inactivation.

Polymeric carbon nitride (C 3 N 4 ) is a very attractive candidate to produce photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) due to its low-cost, metal-free characteristics. However, the low efficiency would limit its development to higher yields because of insufficient light absorption and electron-hole separation. Here, we developed a simple method to anchor CN quantum dots (QDs) onto g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets to form a homojunction structure (HJ-C 3 N 4 ), which could improve photocatalytic performance largely without introducing metal elements. Its superior efficiency is a result of the band alignment by the homojunction structure providing excellent electron-hole separation and QDs providing suppressed recombination. Simultaneously, the light responsiveness of QDs endows a wide spectrum-responsive adsorption and enhances the adsorption intensity. The H 2 O 2 yield of the HJ-C 3 N 4 reached 115 μmol L −1 h −1 in pure water by visible light, which has an 8.6x higher production than g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets . The material design of 0D/2D homojunction could be extended to other materials with specific band alignment.

Constructing Z-scheme heterojunction has been treated as a superior strategy to boost the photocatalytic activity of photocatalysts for the removal of organic contaminants. Herein, a novel recyclable Z-scheme g-C 3 N 4 /carbon nanotubes/Bi 25 FeO 40 (CN/CNT/BFO) heterojunction photocatalyst was successfully fabricated adopting a facile hydrothermal technique with ultrasonic assistance, in which CNT acted as an electron transfer bridge between CN and BFO. As a result, the degradation efficiency of tetracycline (TC) over optimal CN/CNT/BFO heterojunction reached 87.9% after 120 min of visible light exposure, which was higher than that of pristine CN, BFO and CN/BFO. The mechanism analysis indicated that the facilitated photocatalytic performance was associated with the CNT mediated Z-scheme heterojunction, leading to an outstanding separation of photoexcited electron-hole pairs as well as a high redox ability in the process of photocatalysis. Moreover, the CN/CNT/BFO heterojunction exhibited wide pH adaptability, excellent magnetic recyclability and stability. Finally, the possible degradation pathways of TC over CN/CNT/BFO heterojunction were proposed through the determined degradation intermediates. This research could provide an insight into the construction of promising and novel CNT mediated Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts for environmental applications.

In this work, iron-doped graphite carbon nitride (Fe-g-C3N4) was integrated with CoMoO4 through a simple hydrothermal route and high temperature calcination to synthesize distinctive composites, aiming to create a promising heterogeneous catalyst to active peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the degradation of methylene blue (MB), a widely used organic dye. The characterization results, including SEM, EDX, FTIR, XRD and XPS, indicated that the crystal structure and physicochemical properties of CoMoO4-Fe-g-C3N4 have changed after modification, with rougher surface and efficient catalytic activity. The effects of several operational factors (catalyst dosage, oxidant dosage, reaction temperature and initial pH) were also extensively evaluated. Under the condition of CoMoO4-Fe-g-C3N4=0.1 g L−1, oxidant = 2.0 mM, dye = 100 mg/L, T = 25 °C, the MB in the CoMoO4-Fe-g-C3N4/PMS catalytic system can reach almost complete degradation in 90 minutes without pH adjustment. Further, stability experiment showed that the CoMoO4-Fe-g-C3N4 catalysts exhibited high stability and superior reusability, with 80% removal rate even after five concessive cycles of use. Additionally, through radical quenching experiments, it proved that SO4•− radicals were dominant and HO• radicals also worked in the MB degradation process. An underlying mechanism was proposed based on the detection of XPS results that both radical and non-radical degradation pathways existed during MB degradation process. The electron transfer from high-valence iron species (FeIV=O) to MB resulting in the degradation of MB through a non-radical mechanism. From the investigation, the CoMoO4-Fe-g-C3N4 composite was proved to have potential superiority as a promising catalyst for the degradation of refractory organic contaminant removal from water.

Scientists are still working on developing a “turn-on” fluorescence sensor for Co2+, especially in acidic solutions. A novel “on–off–on” fluorescence sensor based on g-C3N4 nanosheets was designed and prepared in this paper. It was able to detect (2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5(diethylamino)phenol (abbreviated to 5-Br-PADAP) and Co2+ quantitatively by quenching and restoring the fluorescence of the g-C3N4 nanosheet system, respectively. Also discussed are the effects of solvent, pH, order of addition, and interaction time of 5-Br-PADAP and Co2+, as well as the concentration range of the object on measurement. Furthermore, in acidic conditions, the sensor demonstrated good selectivity and sensitivity. In the solvent system EtOH : H2O (v/v = 1 : 9, pH = 3), the fluorescence intensity had a good linear relationship with 5-Br-PADAP and Co2+ concentrations in the ranges of 0–15 μM and 0–10 μM, with low detection limits of 64 nM and 44 nM, respectively. Experiments and theoretical calculations were used to describe the interaction characteristics and sensing mechanism. It was eventually successful in detecting Co2+ in environmental samples.

The atomically thin nanosheets of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) with mesopores have been successfully exfoliated with supercritical CO2 (scCO2). The thickness of the as-synthesized samples could be directly tailored by simply regulating the scCO2 pressure. The obtained bilayer mesoporous g-C3N4 nanosheets doped with monatomic Co through a microwave-assisted approach havve been employed as single-atom catalysts to enhance the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance. The as-prepared Co/P/CN-sc sample exhibited a boosted H2 production performance due to its unique structural advantages by exposing more active sites and facilitating the separation of charge carriers. Based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy, X-ray absorption fine structure measurement, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, a possible mechanism has been proposed. The work shows a new perspective for designing an inexpensive photocatalyst with a unique structure through a facile and green approach for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

The tailored photocatalysts, imbuing with inherent oxygen vacancies and outstanding light absorption capacity, exhibits unprecedented photocatalysis efficiency for tetracycline (TC) degradation. The formed Au-g-C 3 N 4 -ZnO implements broad-spectrum response, intensifying capacity of light harvest and utilization and promoting the separation and transmission efficiency of carriers. Remarkably, the photocatalytic degradation for TC by 2%Au-g-C 3 N 4 -ZnO achieves the best degradation efficiency of 74.7% within 30 min under Xe lamp irradiation. It displays excellent stability and acid or alkaline resistance. Besides, the TC degradation pathways are elucidated in line with intermediate degradation products. Finally, a novel Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalytic mechanism is rationally proposed based on the band structure, surface plasmon resonance effect, oxygen vacancies, charge transfer behaviors and active species generation.
