A sensitive electrochemical sensor was fabricated for the rapid determination of bisphenol A (BPA) based on cerium-centered metal-organic framework electrochemically reduced graphene oxide composite (Ce-MOF-ERGO) coupled with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) signal amplification. The Ce-MOF-ERGO was synthesized by electrochemical reduction of Ce-MOF-graphene oxide (GO) composite. Under the optimized conditions, the proposed electrochemical sensor exhibited a linear response for BPA in concentration range 3 nM to 10 μM with a detection limit of 1.9 nM. The excellent performance of the proposed sensor was attributed to the high conductivity, large surface area, and catalytic activity of Ce-MOF-ERGO composite. Moreover, the oxidation signals of BPA on Ce-MOF-ERGO-modified electrode were further enhanced significantly after addition of CTAB in electrolyte solution. Based on the dual signal amplification strategy, the sensor exhibited high sensitivity for BPA detection and was successfully applied to detect BPA in real samples with good recoveries.

An immobilization method for binding cross-linked enzyme aggregates of Lipozyme TL 100L on macroporous resin NKA (CLEA-TLL@NKA) was developed in this study. The esterification activity of CLEA-TLL@NKA reached 6.4 U/mg. The surface structure of immobilized lipase was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Methyl esterification reaction of soybean oil deodorizer distillate (SODD) was catalyzed by CLEA-TLL@NKA, which the conversion rate reached 98% and its activity retained over 90% after 20 batches of reaction. Compared with the commercial enzyme Lipozyme TLIM, half-life ( t 1/2 ) of CLEA-TLL@NKA increased by 25 times and the catalytic activity increased by approximate 10 times. Thus, CLEA-TLL@NKA had high catalytic activity, good operational stability, and potential industrial application in the field of oil processing.

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a promising platform chemical for production of value-added chemicals and fuels. Conversion of abundantly available and cheap sucrose for HMF synthesis was systematically investigated in the present study. Results showed that Lewis acid AlCl 3 is effective in catalytic transformation of sucrose. Combining AlCl 3 with different Brønsted acids, no matter whether they were inorganic acids (HCl, H 2 SO 4 , and H 3 PO 4 ) or organic acids (malic acid, succinic acid, and oxalic acid), or variation of ratio of Lewis acid/Brønsted acid represented by AlCl 3 /HCl, did not change the obtained maximum HMF yields compared with AlCl 3 alone, but shortened the time required to reach the maximum HMF yield. Sucrose conversion in a green reaction media of aqueous γ-valerolactone (GVL) solvent resulted into comparable HMF yields with dimethyl sulfoxide (DSMO)-water system. Addition of monovalent salt NaCl and divalent salt Na 2 SO 4 produced opposite effect with Cl − promoting while SO 4 2− inhibiting HMF production. Furthermore, HMF synthesis from constituent monosaccharides of sucrose and molasses, a by-product from sugar manufacturing process, was also carried out and it was found that an equivmole mixture of glucose and fructose gave rise to almost identical HMF yield to the same mole of sucrose. Molasses, even after chemical pretreatment for removal of certain amount of inorganic salts and color substances, was significantly inferior to synthetic molasses in terms of HMF formation, indicating the complexity and difficulty in chemical valorization of molasses for production of platform molecules.

In addition to the specific surface area, surface topography and characteristics such as the pore size, pore size distribution, and micro/mesopores ratio are factors that determine the performance of porous carbons (PCs) in the fields of energy, catalysis, and adsorption. Based on the mechanism of weight loss of polyaspartic acid at high temperatures, this study provided a new method for adjusting the surface morphology of PCs by changing the cross-linking ratio of the precursor, where cross-linked polyaspartic acid was used as precursor without additional activating agents. N 2 adsorption analysis indicated that the specific surface area of the obtained PCs was as high as 1458 m 2 ·g −1 , of which 1200 m 2 ·g −1 was the contribution of the microporous area and the highest pore volume was 1.13 cm 3 ·g −1 , of which the micropore volume was 0.636 cm 3 ·g −1 . The thermogravimetric analysis results of the precursor, and also the scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer—Emmet—Teller analysis results of the carbonization product confirmed that the prepared PCs presented multilevel pore structure, and the diameters of most pores were 0.78 and 3.97 nm; moreover, the pore size distribution was relatively uniform. This conferred the PCs the ultrahigh hydrogen adsorption capacity of up to 4.52 wt-% at 77 K and 1.13 bar, in addition to their great energy storage and catalytic potential.

With rapid advances of perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs), the large-scale fabrication of patterned PeLEDs towards display panels is of increasing importance. However, most state-of-the-art PeLEDs are fabricated by solution-processed techniques, which are difficult to simultaneously achieve high-resolution pixels and large-scale production. To this end, we construct efficient CsPbBr 3 PeLEDs employing a vacuum deposition technique, which has been demonstrated as the most successful route for commercial organic LED displays. By carefully controlling the strength of the spatial confinement in CsPbBr 3 film, its radiative recombination is greatly enhanced while the nonradiative recombination is suppressed. As a result, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of thermally evaporated PeLED reaches 8.0%, a record for vacuum processed PeLEDs. Benefitting from the excellent uniformity and scalability of the thermal evaporation, we demonstrate PeLED with a functional area up to 40.2 cm 2 and a peak EQE of 7.1%, representing one of the most efficient large-area PeLEDs. We further achieve high-resolution patterned perovskite film with 100 μm pixels using fine metal masks, laying the foundation for potential display applications. We believe the strategy of confinement strength regulation in thermally evaporated perovskites provides an effective way to process high-efficiency and large-area PeLEDs towards commercial display panels.

Currently, conjugation of artemisinin-derived dimers, trimers, and tetramers is a viable strategy for developing new effective antimalarial candidates. Furthermore, nanotechnology is an effective means to achieve intravenous administration of hydrophobic drugs. In this paper, an ester-linked dihydroartemisinin trimer (DHA 3 ) was synthesized and further prepared as self-assembled nanoparticles (DHA 3 NPs) by a one-step nanoprecipitation method. The pharmacokinetics and antimalarial pharmacodynamics of DHA 3 NPs were studied in rats and mice infected with Plasmodium yoelii BY265 (PyBY265) . DHA 3 NPs had a regular spherical shape with a uniform size distribution of 140.27 ± 3.59 nm, entrapment efficiency (EE) of 99.63 ± 0.17%, and drug loading efficiency (DL) of 79.62 ± 0.11%. The in vitro release characterization revealed that DHA 3 NPs were easily hydrolysed into DHA in an esterase environment. The pharmacokinetics study demonstrated that the area under the concentration–time curve ( AUC 0-t ) of DHA in DHA 3 NPs group was 2070.52 ± 578.76 h×ng×mL −1 , which was higher than that of DHA and artesunate (AS) control groups ( AUC 0-t values of 724.18 ± 94.32 and 448.40 ± 94.45 h×ng×mL −1 , respectively) ( P < 0.05). The antimalarial pharmacodynamics in vivo suggested that DHA 3 NP S (ED 90 7.82 ± 1.16 μmol×(kg×day) −1 ) had a superior antimalarial effect compared with that of control groups (ED 90 values of 14.68 ± 0.98 (DHA) and 14.34 ± 1.96 (AS) μmol×(kg×day) −1 ) ( P < 0.05). In addition, DHA 3 NP S reduced the recurrence ratio and improved the cure ratio and survival time. In summary, DHA 3 NPs exhibited promising pharmacokinetic characteristics and antimalarial pharmacodynamics in vivo.

Abstract Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are a promising class of materials for biomedical applications due to their favorable mechanical properties, fast response, and good biocompatibility. However, it is difficult to achieve controllable sequential shape change for most SMPs due to their high deformation temperature and the simplex deformation process. Herein, shape memory composites based on polylactic acid (PLA) matrix and semi-crystalline linear polymer polycaprolactone (PCL) are fabricated using 4D printing technology. Compared with pure PLA, with the rise of PCL content, the 4D-printed PLA/PCL composites show decreased glass transition temperature ( T g ) from 67.2 to 55.2 °C. Through the precise control of the deformation condition, controllable sequential deformation with an outstanding shape memory effect can be achieved for the PLA/PCL shape memory composites. The response time of shape recovery is less than 1.2 s, and the shape fixation/recovery rates are above 92%. In order to simulate sequential petal opening and sequential drug releasing effects, a double-layer bionic flower and a drug release device, respectively, are presented by assembling PLA/PCL samples with different PLA/PCL ratios. The results indicate the potential applications of 4D-printed PLA/PCL composites in the field of bio-inspired robotics and biomedical devices. Graphic abstract

In this study, discarded cigarette butts were used as a precursor for preparing magnetic porous biochar with a facile annealing method. The magnetic porous biochar was applied to remove tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) from aqueous solution. It exhibited excellent adsorption capacity for TCH, which was much higher than various similar materials reported. At the same time, the adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms of TCH were well fitted to the pseudo-second-order models and Freundlich models, respectively. The thermodynamics experiments proved that the adsorption on magnetic porous biochar was an endothermic reaction. Furthermore, the adsorption mechanism was explored, and the outstanding adsorption ability was mainly dependent on the pore filling effect, electrostatic interaction, and π-π interaction. By using the magnetic porous biochar, the real water samples were treated and high removal efficiency to TCH was obtained. What’s more, the excellent reusability endowed the magnetic porous biochar with great potential as adsorbents for practical application.

A novel cytosensor was constructed for the ultrasensitive detection and nondestructive release of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) by combining Au nanoparticles-loaded two-dimensional bimetallic PdMo (2D Au@PdMo) nanozymes and electrochemical reductive desorption. The 2D Au@PdMo nanozymes possessed high-efficiency peroxidase-like activity and were assembled with an aptamer composed of a thiol-modified epithelial specific cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) to strengthen CTCs adhesion. Moreover, the electrode surface was decorated with highly fractal Au nanostructures (HFAuNSs) composites due to the similarity in fractal nanostructure with the CTCs membrane to enhance the CTCs anchoring efficiency and release capability. The captured CTCs could be further efficiently dissociated and nondestructively released from the modified electrodes upon electrochemical reductive desorption. The designed cytosensor showed an excellent analytical performance, with a wide linear range from 2 to 1 × 10 5 cells mL −1 and low limit of detection (LOD) of 2 cells mL −1 (S/ N = 3) at the working potential in the range −0.6 to 0.2 V. A satisfactory CTCs release reaching a range of 93.7–97.4% with acceptable RSD from 3.55 to 6.41% and good cell viability was obtained. Thus, the developed cytosensor might provide a potential alternative to perform CTC-based liquid biopsies, with promising applications in early diagnosis of tumors. Graphical abstract

Methyl parathion (MP), as a typical organophosphorus pesticide, has been widely used in pest control and plant growth regulation. Simultaneously, the problem of pesticide residues also poses a serious threat to the environment and human health. Currently, pesticide residue detection technology still faces great challenges in practical applications due to the problems of expensive facilities and complicated operations in conventional analysis methods. To address these problems, a novel nonenzymatic electrochemical pesticide sensor was reported. A zirconium-based metal organic framework material with terephthalic acid as a ligand (Zr-BDC) was designed to combine with electro-reduced graphene oxides (rGO). The Zr-BDC-rGO nanocomposite contains Zr-OH groups with high affinity for phosphate groups, endowing it with selective recognition and a higher adsorption capacity for MP. Moreover, rGO has a high specific surface area and excellent electron transport capability, making it an excellent functionalized adsorption and substrate material, which could improve the conductivity of the material and achieve a lower detection limit. Upon optimization, this sensor provided a wide linear range from 0.001 to 3.0 μg mL −1 and low limit of detection 0.5 ng mL −1 for MP. This work provides a rapid, sensitive and cost-effective sensing platform for pesticide residue detection. Graphical abstract

Solar conversion of CO 2 into energy-rich products is one of the sustainable solutions to lessen the global energy shortage and environmental crisis. Pitifully, it is still challenging to attain reliable and affordable CO 2 conversion. Herein, we demonstrate a facile one-pot approach to design core-triple shell Mn, C-codoped ZnO hollow spheres as efficient photocatalysts for CO 2 reduction. The Mn ions, with switchable valence states, function as “ionized cocatalyst” to promote the CO 2 adsorption and light harvesting of the system. Besides, they can capture photogenerated electrons from the conduction band of ZnO and provide the electrons for CO 2 reduction. This process is continuous due to the switchable valence states of Mn ions. Benefiting from such unique features, the prepared photocatalysts demonstrated fairly good CO 2 conversion performance. This work is endeavoured to shed light on the role of ionized cocatalyst towards sustainable energy production.

Perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) are new class of optoelectronic materials, which have been widely studied for their extraordinary physical properties. Attempts to develop these materials are tending to make their fabrication much controllable and extend their values in different areas. Here, we present a novel strategy for one-step in situ synthesis of PQD-encapsulated barcode particles with the assistance of microfluidic technique. By changing the halide ratio in perovskite precursor solutions that emulsified in microfluidic devices, a series of PQDs with different colors have been successfully fabricated, which made them ideal materials as barcodes. Because of the stable encapsulation of ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) resin, the PQD-encapsulated barcode particles were with no cytotoxicity and could be anti-quenched. It was demonstrated for the first time that the PQD-encapsutated barcode particles by microfluidics were valuable for multiplex biomolecular encoding and assays. These features indicate that the PQD-encapsutated barcode particles by microfluidics are ideal for many practical applications and have a broad prospect in biomedical field.
