Chemoselective hydrogenation of quinolines is often subjected to the problems of leaching and poisoning of catalytic active site as well as harsh reaction conditions. Developing a novel and high-performance heterogeneous catalyst is of paramount importance yet a huge challenge. Herein, we report a facile and efficient strategy for preparing the large surface area and highly N-doped hierarchical porous carbon anchored tiny Pd NPs catalyst, in which the low-cost chitosan, nitrogen-rich ionic liquids are served as composite precursors and KZ molten salt as friendly pore-forming agent. And a series of Pd@CIL-T (C refers to chitosan, IL refers to ionic liquid, T = 600–900 °C) catalysts are successfully fabricated via pyrolyzing aforesaid composites at different temperatures followed by anchoring the highly dispersed and small-sized Pd NPs on their surface. Among all the prepared catalysts, Pd@CIL-900 exhibits the optimal catalytic performance towards the selective hydrogenation of quinoline under extremely mild conditions (0.6 mol% Pd, 0.1 MPa H 2 and 50 °C). The kinetic experiments further reveal that such hydrogenation is subject to a pseudo-first order reaction and the apparent activation energy is as low as 41.1 kJ/mol, demonstrating excellent hydrogenation reaction rate. Moreover, the catalytic activity and selectivity are well maintained even after being reused for fifth reaction cycles.

Simultaneous extraction of basic and non-basic N-compounds from oil is still a big challenge. Triethylene glycol (TEG) encounters very weak Brønsted acidity. Its N-distribution coefficient [DN, (mmol·gEx–1)/(mmol·gOil–1)] for the basic was below 7.0. In this work, metals dissolved in TEG can improve the Lewis acidity of the extractant and bring about the simultaneous removal. For example, DN of TEG–Ag(I) can increase to 40.5 for quinoline and 57.9 for pyridine, respectively. For the non-basic, it still remained higher than 70.0. The promoted performance was ascribed to the improvement of extractive behavior of the basic. From TEG to TEG–Ag(I), first, the distribution of equilibrium N-concentrations between two phases was significantly changed from the straight line to the non-linear curve with the plateau. Second, the interaction type inside the system was optimized. The Ag(I)-based complexation coupled with the TEG-based H-bonding was identified. Third, the interaction intensity was increased as well. Ag(I) contributed much to reduction of Gibbs free energy change for the basic. Therefore, enhancing Lewis acidity of the extractant was a feasible way for the extraction of the N-compounds.

In this work, we successfully assembled an organic–inorganic core–shell hybrid p-n heterojunction ultraviolet photodetector by the electropolymerization deposition of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxyselenophene) (PEDOS) on the surface of zinc oxide nanoarrays (ZnO NRs). The structures of composite were confirmed by FTIR, UV–Vis, XRD and XPS. Mott–Schottky analysis was used to study the p-n heterojunction structure. The photodetection properties of ZnO NRs/PEDOS heterojunction ultraviolet photodetector were systematically investigated current–voltage (I–V) and current–time (I–t) analysis under different bias voltages. The results showed that PEDOS films uniformly grew on ZnO NRs surface and core–shell structure was formed. The p-n heterojunction structure was formed with strong built-in electric field between ZnO NRs and PEDOS. Under the irradiation of UV light, the device showed a good rectification behavior. The responsivity, detection rate and the external quantum efficiency of the ultraviolet photodetector reached to 247.7 A/W, 3.41 × 10 12 Jones and 84,000% at 2 V bias, respectively. The rise time ( τ r ) and fall time ( τ f ) of ZnO NRs/PEDOS UV photodetector were obviously shortened compared to ZnO UV photodetector. The results show that the introduction of PEDOS effectively improves the performance of the UV photodetector.

Heterojunction integrated by two-dimensional/three-dimensional materials has shown great potential applications in optoelectronic devices because of its fast response speed, high specific detectivity and broad spectral response. In this work, the vertical n-Si/p-GaTe heterojunction has been designed and fabricated, which shows a high responsivity up to 5.73 A W−1 and a fast response time of 20 μs at zero bias benifitting from the high efficiency of light absorption, internal photocurrent gain and strong built-in electrical field. A specific detectivity of 1012 Jones and a broad spectral response ranging from 300 to 1100 nm can also be achieved. This work provides an alternative strategy for high-performance self-powered optoelectronic devices.

β -N-Acetylglucosaminidases and/or β - N -acetylhexosaminidases (NAGs / Hexes) are crucial exonucleases, playing a crucial role in the insect molting process. SfHex3 and SfHex4 contain conserved catalytic domains of GH20 and GH20b, clustered into NAG2 and NAG1 group, respectively. SfHex3 and SfHex4 were mainly highly expressed in the 4th–5th instar nymphs, as well as in the integument and ovary. The expression level of SfHex3 gradually decreased in male and female adults, and SfHex4 on the first day of female was significantly higher than that on the first day of male. In addition, RNA interference (RNAi) results demonstrated that the downregulation of SfHex3 and SfHex4 expression in 5th-instar nymphs resulted in failed molting, and a high mortality. Furthermore, after RNAi with SfHex3 and SfHex4 , the transcript levels on key genes of the chitin metabolism pathway ( SfCHS1 , SfCHS1a , SfCHS1b , SfTRE1 , SfTRE2 , SfCht5 , and SfCht7 ) were significantly decreased compared to the control group. Meanwhile the expression levels of SfHex3 and SfHex4 were up-regulated after 6 h and 12 h of 20E treatment. And the transcription levels of SfHex3 and SfHex4 were significantly inhibited at nitenpyram LC 20 , LC 50 , and LC 90 after 96 h of treatment, in 3rd nymphs of Sogatella furcifera . In conclusion, SfHex3 and SfHex4 play important roles in the nymphal development of S. furcifera , contributing to the molting process from nymph to adult. This study not only enhances our understanding of the nitenpyram in pest control, but also provides a foundation for the development of new control strategies using RNAi to targeting SfHex3 and SfHex4 .

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) has been demonstrated to be a rising star among semiconductor materials for photocatalytic hydrogen (H 2 ) production. However, pristine g-C 3 N 4 usually suffers from inferior activity due to the inadequate visible light harvesting capacity and quick charge recombination. Herein, porous P doped g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets (PCNNSs) were fabricated via a simple thermal condensation of adenosine phosphate and urea followed by thermal exfoliation method. The synergetic effect of the porous structure and P dopant can provide abundant active sites for the photocatalytic reaction, which can enhance light absorption range extending from 450 nm to 700 nm attributed to the n→π* electronic transition, and improve hydrophilicity for easier water molecules adsorption via introducing hydroxyl groups. Furthermore, impurity level caused by the P dopant would change the excitation process and accelerate the charge separation efficiency. Therefore, the PCNNSs exhibited significantly elevated photocatalytic H 2 generation performance (9523.7 μmolg -1 h -1 ) under visible-light (λ > 420 nm) irradiation, which was about 20 times that of unmodified g-C 3 N 4 (458 μmol -1 h -1 ).

N-Nitrosodiphenylamine (NDPhA), a typically nonvolatile N-nitrosamine (NA), is widely used as an additive in daily human necessities and is considered as a possible cancer-causing substance by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Therefore, the determination of NDPhA in environment is crucial to people's health. In this study, a simple and high-performance electrochemical sensor for NDPhA detection is constructed based on poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)-stabilized graphene/platinum nanoparticles (PDDA–Gr/PtNPs) as an electrochemical sensing platform. The PDDA–Gr/PtNP nanocomposite is synthesized by a facile wet-chemical approach. It combines the prominent properties of graphene (large surface areas and high conductivity) with the outstanding catalytic activity of Pt nanoparticles. Because of its remarkable synergistic effect, a PDDA–Gr/PtNP-modified glassy carbon electrode (PDDA–Gr/PtNPs/GCE) shows excellent performance towards electrooxidation of NDPhA with a significantly increased peak current and negatively shifted peak potential compared to graphene-modified electrode (PDDA–Gr/GCE); it exhibits good linearity for NDPhA detection with a linear range of 1.0 × 10−7–5.0 × 10−5 mol L−1 and a detection limit of 3.3 × 10−8 mol L−1 (S/N = 3) under optimum conditions. Moreover, this cost-effective and convenient sensor also has good stability, repeatability and anti-interference ability and is promising for trace analysis of NAs in environmental pollutants.

Ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) is an important electrode reaction in ethanol fuel cells. However, there are many problems with commercial ethanol oxidation electrocatalysts today, such as poor durability, poor anti-CO poisoning ability, and low selectivity for C–C bond cleavage. Therefore, it is very meaningful to develop a high-performance EOR catalyst. Herein, we designed ternary N, S, and P-doped hollow carbon spheres (C–N,P,S) from polyphosphazene (PCCP) as Pd supports for EOR. Using SiO2spheres as the templates, the PCCP was first coated on the surfaces of SiO2spheres by in situ polymerization. Through high-temperature pyrolysis and hydrofluoric acid-etching, the hollow PCCP has a large surface area and porous structure. After loading Pd nanoparticles (NPs), the Pd/C–N, P, S catalysts with Pd NPs decorated on the surfaces of C–N, P, S can achieve a high mass peak current density of 1686 mA mgPd−1, which was 2.8 times greater than that of Pd/C. Meanwhile, the Pd/C–N, P, S catalyst also shows a better stability than that of Pd/C after a durability test of 3600s.

Although heterogeneous photocatalytic sterilization can avoid secondary pollution and achieve broad spectrum antibacterial effects, its low disinfection efficiency seriously hinders its development. Exploring and achieving precise electron-transfer channels in the interface of heterogeneous systems are an effective method to enhance photocatalytic sterilization. Herein, we designed a chemical Zn–N bonded nitrogen-doped porous carbon-loaded zinc oxide (ZnO/NC) Schottky heterojunction photocatalyst through oxidizing and carbonizing ZIF-8 in-situ at suitable temperatures. The Zn–N accurately facilitated the photogenerated electrons transfer from the conduction band (CB) site of ZnO to the NC surface as active site. Furthermore, the NC as carrier enhanced the light-absorption capacity (746 nm) of Schottky heterojunction and functioned as active site to promote the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, the slow-release effect of zinc ions (Zn 2+ ) from ZnO contributed to the accelerated death of bacteria. As a result, under simulated sunlight conditions, the ZnO/NC-400(1 h) Schottky heterojunction demonstrated an impressive antibacterial efficiency of 99.33 % against Escherichia coli , consistently exceeding 95 % in repeated experiments. This work presents a controllable and encouraging approach for constructing heterojunction with effective antibacterial properties.

High photo-catalytic activity and stable recycling performance under high humidity are main hindering factors in practical applications of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) degradation. In-situ co-doping strategy of pyrrolic N/Zn was proposed to enhance surface charge separation and cycling stability of MIL-125(Ti) for degradation of vaporous acetaldehyde under highly humid conditions. Characterizations results show that pyrrolic N/Zn co-doped MIL-125(Ti) exhibited an integrated crystal structure and high surface area (1415 m 2 /g). The constructed Ti/Zn-N/O clusters narrowed band gap (from 3.40 to 1.85 eV) of MIL-125(Ti) and boosted electron conductivity. Also, it was proved to enhance surface alkalinity and hydrophobicity of MIL-125(Ti), which would strengthen MOFs selective adsorption towards CH 3 CHO and accelerated the transfer of degradation product CO 2 from catalytic active sites in MIL-125(Ti) under high humidity. As a result, synergistic effect of N/Zn co-doping exhibited an enhanced the ability of activating oxygen and H 2 O molecules into superoxide radical ( O 2 − ) and hydroxy radical ( OH), showing 10 times faster reaction kinetics for CH 3 CHO degradation under humid air compared to MIL-125(Ti). Moreover, co-dopant of N/Zn into MIL-125(Ti) has significantly promoted the recycling stability of MIL-125(Ti) under high humidity. According to the work, co-dopant elemental strategy to modify MOF surface can provide the synergistic effect for efficient degradation of aldehyde VOCs under humid conditions.

Owing to the creation of a large number of surface active sites, surface modification is an efficient strategy for improving the catalytic performances of photocatalysts. Herein, zero-dimensional (0D) p-type NiS species were developed in situ on the large surface of NiAl-LDH by controlled vulcanization. Importantly, the development of the 0D p-type NiS species not only enriched the active sites but also triggered the in situ formation of a NiS/NiAl-LDH p–n heterojunction due to NiAl-LDH, which was utterly underdeveloped in the vulcanization modification procedure. This undoubtedly accelerated the faster separation and migration of charge carriers and yielded improved photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The optimum hydrogen production rate of the NiS/NiAl-LDH photocatalyst could reach 3408 μmol·g–1·h–1 using a 5 W LED simulation visible light, which was 52-fold that of NiAl-LDH. The design and construction of the in situ p–n heterojunction may provide a perspective for the formation of p–n heterojunction photocatalysts with a closer contact interface and highly enhanced photocatalytic activity.

Exploring catalyst materials which are advancing, recyclable and with high catalytic performances to remove persistent organic pollutants such as Quinclorac (QNC) is important. In this work, a novel N-doped carbon support CoFe 2 O 4 /Fe 0 hybrid catalyst (CFO/Fe@C) was in situ formed by a simple co-precipitation and calcination process. Fine intergrowth crystal CoFe 2 O 4 and Fe 0 were uniformly dispersed on the N-doped porous carbon that derived from the raw material Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA), which also provided chelating effect to prevent the agglomeration of the metals. Interestingly, the Fe 0 could only be formed with the presence of cobalt, possibly due to the increased reduction property resulted from the particle refinement. The as-formed Fe 0 could not only activate the peroxymonosulfate (PMS) but also reduce the Co 3+ , resulting in a synergistic impact to remarkably enhance the degradation performance. Besides, the N-doped porous carbon can also benefit the degradation of pollutant by strengthening the electron transfer. A good degradation efficiency of QNC was obtained in CFO/Fe@C-PMS system and most of the QNC had been degraded to carbon dioxide , water and other small molecular organisms. The removal rate remained over 70% after four reuses and the material could be easily recovered from the solution due to the good magnetic properties. Therefore, the as-prepared CFO/Fe@C catalyst should be an ideal catalyst for the removal of organic pollutants .
