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.

Tremella polysaccharide , a novel polysaccharide , not only has good ability of film forming, but also has excellent physiological functions, which was suitable to be used to prepare eco-friendly hydrogels. In this study, a novel pH/temperature responsive micelle-laden hydrogel based on tremella polysaccharide (WSK), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and nonionic surfactant-decyl polyglucoside (C 10 APG) was fabricated through radical polymerization by crosslinking N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), for the purpose to achieve controlled release of hydrophobic drugs indomethacin (IND). Firstly, WSK/CMC/PNIPAM hydrogels were prepared and their characteristics were investigated by FTIR, TGA , SEM, rheological and compressive tests as well as swelling experiments. Then the hydrophobic drug IND molecules were solubilized in C 10 APG micelles which were uniformly dispersed in the WSK/CMC/PNIPAM/C 10 APG networks. Lastly, the IND release behavior of WSK/CMC/PNIPAM/C 10 APG hydrogels was studied, which exhibited both pH and temperature sensitivity. The obtained WSK/C 10 APG-based pH/temperature sensitive hydrogel may have potential in biomedical applications such as drug vehicles and tissue engineering.

N-doped carbon/carbon heterojunction holds huge potential for efficient CO 2 capture. Here, a series of site-specific N-doped core-shell carbon spheres with carbon/carbon heterojunction were successfully prepared by carbonization of polypyrrole coated hypercrosslinked polystyrene spheres, followed by chemical activation with KOH. These activated carbon spheres possessed large specific surface area (2080 m 2 g −1 ) and abundant micropores (0.45 cm 3 g −1 ). Despite their low nitrogen content (0.96 wt%), the CO 2 adsorption capacities of activated samples reached 3.69 and 5.80 mmol g −1 measured at 298 and 273 K, respectively, under atmospheric pressure (1 bar). More significantly, the N-doped carbon/carbon heterojunction contributes to a stronger and denser CO 2 packing in this system.

Heteroatom doped carbon materials have attracted intense attention in constructing electrochemical sensors because of their outstanding electrocatalytic performance. Up to now, most of the researches were focused on the electrochemical application of single heteroatom doped carbon microspheres. In this work, N, P-co-doped carbon microspheres (NP-CMs) modified electrode was developed as highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for acetaminophen. NP-CMs were acquired by the calcination of products from the one-pot reaction of dopamine and 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO). Experimental results revealed that NP-CMs showed better electrocatalytic performance compared with N-doped carbon microspheres. Under the optimal conditions, the response of NP-CMs/GCE showed a linear relationship with acetaminophen concentration from 0.07 μM to 30 μM, the linear equation was Y = 0.01356X+0.7417 and the detection limit was 40 nM (S/N = 3). The recoveries of the NP-CMs modified GCE for the assay of acetaminophen in human serum samples were from 94.0% to 106.0%. It was believed that N, P-co-doped carbon microspheres have a great potential in the design of novel pharmaceutical analysis methods.

Developing highly efficient and recyclable photocatalysts through harvesting solar light as energy is crucial to oxidation for industrial implementation, especially for simple transition metal oxidic catalysts without precious/heavy/rare metal dopants. Herein, we like to report the use of nitrogen-doped CoMn 2 O 4 oxide ( N –CoMn 2 O 4 ) as a heterogeneous catalyst for efficient oxidation of various alcohols such as p / m / o -methyl-substituted aromatic alcohols, p -substituted aromatic alcohols including electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents, heterocycle-based alcohols and secondary aromatic alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes/ketones, under visible light (>420 nm) illumination and mild condition of oxygen as oxidant and room temperature. The relation of various Co-based oxides to their catalytic performance was studied. It is shown that the Co 2+ species in N –CoMn 2 O 4 , obviously increased by the doping of nitrogen, are acted as catalytic active species coupled with the synergistic effect between Co and Mn species for the enhanced visible-light selective oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes. A plausible catalytic mechanism is proposed basis of control experiments and published studies, which suggests that this oxidation process probably occurs on Co 2+ sites via an ionic reactive oxygen species pathway and 1 O 2 and O 2 · − species are the reactive oxygen species. This simple transition metal oxide-catalyzed aerobic oxidation provides a green alternative for the manufacture of aldehydes/ketones from alcohols.

N-ZIF-(1:0)@NiCo-LDH, N-ZIF-(1:3.5)@NiCo-LDH and N-ZIF-(0:1)@NiCo-LDH were prepared by mixing solvents in various volume ratios ( V methanol : V water = 1:0, 1:3.5 and 0:1) when synthesizing precursors. These composite materials were characterized using scanning and transmission electron microscopies, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and nitrogen adsorption–desorption measurements, and investigated as catalysts for reduction of 4-nitrophenol, methyl orange and methylene blue. The NaBH 4 concentration as an important factor that may affect catalytic activity for reduction of 4-nitrophenol was examined. Under optimal experimental conditions, the excellent catalytic activity of the N-ZIF-(0:1)@NiCo-LDH composite, compared to that of N-ZIF-(1:0)@NiCo-LDH and N-ZIF-(1:3.5)@NiCo-LDH composites, could be attributed to the presence of graphitic nitrogen. In addition, compared with previously reported catalysts, all catalysts prepared show excellent catalytic activity owing to the unique structure exposing more active sites.

Normal alkane tetracosane (C 24 ) as a representative compound containing alkyl chains was loaded into various porous materials to obtain form-stable phase change materials (PCMs). In the pores of controlled porous glasses (CPGs), silica gels (SGs), SBA-15 and KIT-6, C 24 acquired tunable phase transition temperatures. By changing the pore sizes, C 24 displayed regulated temperature windows of around 6 K (via melting) and 10 K (via solid phase transition) in the CPGs, 9 K in the SG pores (via melting) and about 13 K in SBA-15 (via melting). Phase transition temperatures, degree of supercooling and enthalpies of phase transitions exhibited linear dependence on the reverse pore diameter. The transition temperature and enthalpy change also had relevance to pore geometries. The phase sequences and solid structures of C 24 in the pores changed largely. The study provides an insight into thermal properties of nano-sized PCMs.

Four different types of structured nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube membranes (C50, NC25, NC50, N25C25) were used as metal-free catalysts for phenol degradation. Firstly, nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes were prepared on paper-like sintered stainless steel fibers (PSSF) by chemical vapor deposition using melamine and acetylene as dual precursors, then the nitric acid was used to remove amorphous carbon and catalyst particles in the tubes. Subsequently, TEM, XPS, N 2 adsorption and desorption and other characterization techniques were used to investigate the structure and morphology of the catalysts. Characterization results showed that the use of dual precursor could well adjust the nitrogen content in carbon nanotubes, and nitrogen doping could change the hollow structure of carbon nanotubes into rough bamboo-like and corrugated structure. Meanwhile, acid treatment significantly increased the specific surface area, among which the value of HN25C25 reached 38.15 m 2 /g. Pristine and acid-treated catalysts were then used to activate peroxymonosulfonate (PMS) in a structured fixed bed reactor. NC25 and N25C25 were able to mineralize 46% and 17.5% of phenol at 1 h, but the TOC conversion rate only maintained at about 10% in the subsequent reaction time. After acid treatment, HNC25 and HN25C25 were able to mineralize up to 76% and 84% of phenol, and the TOC conversion rate maintained at about 70% within 7 h. the high leaching of Fe in the acid-treated catalysts could be attributed to the formation of small carboxylic acids and the destruction of the PSSF support during the reaction. At last, radical inhibition experiments and ESR spectra showed that sulfate radicals and hydroxyl radicals were the main active species in the reaction. The increase in the proportion of active nitrogen species and the improvement in contact efficiency could explain the higher mineralization efficiency of phenol catalyst after acid treatment.

The doping of multiple heteroatoms can improve the electrochemical properties of carbon substrates. However, in existing studies, carbon, iron and nitrogen sources are generally mixed directly and then pyrolyzed for secondary activation. This tends to form aggregates of metal particles or metal oxides and requires the consumption of large amounts of alkali and energy. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an environmentally friendly technology capable of uniformly doping iron and nitrogen into carbon materials. In this work, porous Fe–N–C composites were prepared at 600 °C using potassium humate (HA-K) obtained from cotton straw by low-temperature pyrolysis as the carbon source, and urea-iron complexes formed by the pre-coordination of urea and Fe as the iron and nitrogen sources. In the absence of secondary activation, the best sample Fe-NHPC-2 had a good mesoporous structure with high specific surface area (889. 01 m2 g−1). It had a high specific capacitance of 256.8 F g−1 at a current density of 0.5 A g−1. The capacitance retention was 92.6% after 10,000 cycles at a current density of 10 A g−1. In the symmetric supercapacitor application, the energy density reached 33.16 Wh kg−1 when the power density was 600.2 W kg−1.

A novel eco-friendly halogen-free cardanol-based flame retardant with P, Si, and N on the chain backbone (PSNCFR) was synthesized and incorporated into phenolic foams (PFs). PSNCFR was comprehensively investigated via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. PSNCFR endowed PFs with flame retardancy, contributed to generating a composite char defense against flames, and efficiently prevented smoking from PFs. PSNCFR introduction improved the flexural strength of the PFs to approximately 155% of that of pristine PF. PSNCFR-modified PFs displayed a high limiting oxygen index value of 41.9%. The results of cone calorimeter show that the mean heat release rate, mean effective heat of combustion, and total heat release of the PSNCFR-modified PFs reduced by 26.92%, 35.71%, and 31.25%, respectively. In particular, the total smoke production of the PSNCFR-modified PFs decreased by 64.55%, indicating excellent smoke inhibition. As for the mechanism, the condensation and gas phases during pyrolysis were responsible for the synergistic flame retardancy in the modified PFs. The findings demonstrate that PSNCFR can be used in PF preparation to overcome their drawbacks of internal brittleness and flammability.

Poly( N -isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogel films containing glucose oxidase (GOD), designated as PNIPAM-GOD, were synthesized on the surface of pyrolytic graphite (PG) electrodes through radical cross-linking polymerization method. Cyclic voltammetric (CV) response of ferrocenecarboxylic acid (Fc(COOH)) at PNIPAM-GOD film electrodes was very sensitive to the environmental temperature, sulfate concentration, and addition of methanol solvent. For example, at 25 °C, Fc(COOH) exhibited a quasi-reversible CV peak pair with large peak currents in pH 7.0 aqueous solutions containing no sulfate for the films; while at 37 °C, the CV response was greatly suppressed. By switching the film electrodes in solutions between 25 and 37 °C, the CV peak currents of Fc(COOH) cycled between a quite large value and a very small one, showing the reversible thermo-sensitive switching property between the on and off states. Similarly, the reversible SO 4 2− - and methanol-sensitive on–off behavior of the films toward the probe was also observed. This triply responsive property could be used to realize the thermo-, SO 4 2− -, and methanol-controlled electrochemical oxidation of glucose catalyzed by GOD immobilized in the films and mediated by Fc(COOH) in solution. This “smart” interface may establish a foundation for fabricating a novel type of multi-controllable biosensors based on bioelectrocatalysis.

n-Pentanol, a commonly used Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in industry, is harmful to the environment security and human health. Thus, it is necessary to develop n-pentanol sensors. Herein, spherical (ZTO-S), cubic (ZTO-C) and pseudo-cubic (ZTO-PC) ZnSnO 3 were obtained by changing the ratio of solvent in hydrothermal/solvothermal process. By contrast, the ZTO-PC sensor had a high sensitivity of 135.2 to 100 ppm n-pentanol at 170 °C, a short response time of 0.8 s, and a low detection limit of 10 ppb. Meanwhile, the ZTO-PC sensor displayed superior reproducibility, good humidity resistance and excellent long-term stability. The outstanding sensing performance response of the ZTO-PC sensor is attribute to its high surface adsorbed oxygen content, fast electron mobility and good conductivity, providing abundant active sites and effective gas adsorption platform. In addition, the mechanism of the ZTO-PC sensor for n-pentanol was studied by XPS , GC-MS, and in-situ DRIFTS . After contact with ZnSnO 3 , n-pentanol was first oxidized to n-pentanal and then decomposed into CO 2 and H 2 O. This work well-designed three types of ZnSnO 3 through morphological engineering, providing a hopeful strategy for improving the gas sensitive performance.
