An optimized polyol reduction method was proposed for p-type CuxO deposition using a spin-coating method at low temperatures. The film characterizations and the electrical properties of integrated thin-film transistors (TFTs) were investigated as a function of annealing temperature and polyol type. The CuxO TFTs derived from propylene glycol showed the optimal performance with an average field-effect hole mobility of 0.15 cm2 V–1 s–1, an on/off current ratio of ∼104, and a threshold voltage of −7 V at a low temperature of 220 °C. Considering few investigations on the operational/air stability of solution-processed p-type oxide TFTs, we carried out systematical studies and revealed different roles of O2 and H2O on the device performance. The low activation energy (0.16 eV) for hole transport and high voltage gain (37) of the composed complementary inverter highlight great potential for the construction of all oxide-based transparent flexible electronics and circuits.

Eco-friendly phosphorus-doped carbon quantum dots (P-CQDs) have been successfully synthesized by facial hydrothermal treatment of phytic acid (PA) and sodium citrate. PA is selected because of its hexatomic ring structure with firm C-P bonds, abundant phosphate group and completely natural. In this case, the phosphorus content of the as synthesized P-CQDs achieves 8.52 wt.%. The P-CQDs show a narrow size distribution in the range of 2.5–4.5 nm and exhibit excellent sensitivity to Cu 2+ with an ultra-low detection limit of 1 nM. Furthermore, the P-CQDs have been applied in water sample to detect Cu 2+ , and the results are highly consistent with the data measured by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Therefore, the as synthesized P-CQDs display a great potential for applications in the area of Cu 2+ ion detection.

In this paper, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPPAm), polyacrylic acid (PAA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were used to prepare double-network hydrogels by the photo-crosslinking technology. The results from mechanical and swelling tests indicated that photo-crosslinked PVA/CNC/P(NIPPAm-co-AA) hydrogels exhibited temperature-sensitive, pH-sensitive behaviors and good mechanical strengths. We prepared DN hydrogels, which combined the advantages of PNIPAAm, PAA and photo-crosslinking collectively in the PVA/CNC system, leading to controllable temperature and pH responses and improvement in physical properties. A simple and green method for the preparation of DN hydrogels was demonstrated, offering photo-crosslinked PVA/CNC/P(NIPPAm-co-AA) hydrogels as excellent prospects for applications in the medical field.

A strategy has been developed for the synthesis, characterization and catalysis of magnetic Fe 3 O 4 /P(GMA-EGDMA)-NH 2 /HPG-COOH-Pd core-shell structure supported catalyst. The P(GMA-EGDMA) polymer layer was coated on the surface of hollow magnetic Fe 3 O 4 microspheres through the effect of KH570. The core-shell magnetic Fe 3 O 4 /P(GMA-EGDMA) modified by -NH 2 could be grafted with HPG. Then, the hyperbranched glycidyl (HPG) with terminal -OH were modified by -COOH and adsorbed Pd nanoparticles. The hyperbranched polymer layer not only protected the Fe 3 O 4 magnetic core from acid–base substrate corrosion, but also provided a number of functional groups as binding sites for Pd nanoparticles. The prepared catalyst was characterized by UV–vis, TEM, SEM, FTIR, TGA, ICP-OES, BET, XRD, DLS and VSM. The catalytic tests showed that the magnetic Fe 3 O 4 /P(GMA-EGDMA)-NH 2 /HPG-COOH-Pd catalyst had excellent catalytic performance and retained 86% catalytic efficiency after 8 consecutive cycles.

The development of high-performance and cost-effective electrocatalysts is of great significance for hydrogen production by water splitting but remains challenge. Herein, a metal organic frameworks (MOFs) templating approach is proposed to synthesize Co incorporating FeP nanotubes (Co-Fe-P nanotubes) for efficient for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The MOFs-derived tubular structure with in situ Co substitution lead to abundant catalytic sites, fast mass and charge transport pathways, and desirable electronic configuration. These beneficial effects enable Co-Fe-P nanotubes efficient HER catalytic activity in a wide pH range, achieving small overpotentials of 86, 138, and 66 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 in 1 M KOH, 1 M phosphate buffer solution (PBS), and 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 , respectively. The catalytic activity of Co-Fe-P nanotubes outperforms most of the reported FeP-based electrocatalysts. Density functional theory calculations further reveal that Co substitution results in increased density of states near Fermi level , boosting the intrinsic electrocatalytic activity of Co-Fe-P nanotubes. This work affords a feasible way to the synthesis of cheap and efficient FeP-based electrocatalysts for HER.

Graphical A hybrid photocatalyst consisting of Co and Co 2 P nanoparticles embedded in N, P-codoped carbon nanosheets was used in a visible light-driven system for CO 2 -to-CO conversion. The catalytic system displayed a high CO production rate of up to 35 000 μmol h −1 g −1 with CO selectivity of 79.1 % in the first 3 h of reaction. Linear CO production at an exceptionally high rate of 63 000 μmol h −1 g −1 was observed in the first 1 h of photocatalytic reaction. Artificial photosynthesis has attracted wide attention, particularly the development of efficient solar light-driven methods to reduce CO 2 to form energy-rich carbon-based products. Because CO 2 reduction is an uphill process with a large energy barrier, suitable catalysts are necessary to achieve this transformation. In addition, CO 2 adsorption on a catalyst and proton transfer to CO 2 are two important factors for the conversion reaction, and catalysts with high surface area and more active sites are required to improve the efficiency of CO 2 reduction. Here, a visible light-driven system for CO 2 -to-CO conversion is reported, which consists of a heterogeneous hybrid catalyst of Co and Co 2 P nanoparticles embedded in carbon nanolayers codoped with N and P (Co-Co 2 P@NPC) and a homogeneous Ru II -based complex photosensitizer. The average generation rate of CO of the system was up to 35 000 μmol h −1 g −1 with selectivity of 79.1 % in 3 h. Linear CO production at an exceptionally high rate of 63 000 μmol h −1 g −1 was observed in the first hour of reaction. Inspired by this highly active catalyst, Co@NC and Co 2 P@NPC materials were also synthesized and their structure, morphology, and catalytic properties for CO 2 photoreduction were explored. The results showed that the nanoparticle size, partially adsorbed H 2 O molecules on the catalyst surface, and the hybrid nature of the systems influenced their photocatalytic CO 2 reduction performance.

The enhancement in the catalytic activity of PtM (transition metals, TMs) alloy nanoparticles (NPs) results from the electronic structure of Pt being modified by the TM. However, the oxidation of the TM would lead to the electronegativity difference between Pt and TM being much lowered, which induces a decrease in the number of electrons transferred from the TM to Pt, resulting in excessive oxygenated species accumulating on the surface of Pt, thus deteriorating their performance. In this work, the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance of PtNi (Pt68Ni32) concave octahedral NPs (CONPs) in alkaline electrolytes is much improved by doping small amounts of phosphorus. The P-doped PtNi CONPs (P-PtNi) show about 2 and 10 times enhancement for ORR compared to PtNi and commercial Pt/C catalysts. The high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping characterizations reveal that the P dopant uniformly distributes throughout the CONPs, Pt mainly locates at the edges and corners, whereas Ni situates at the center, forming a P-doped Pt-frame@Ni quasi-core–shell CONP. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra indicate that the P dopant obviously increases the electron density of Pt compared with that of PtNi NPs, which contributes to the stabilization of the electronic structure of PtNi CONPs, thus restraining the excessive HO2– species produced on the catalysts, which endow them with a high catalytic performance in the ORR. In addition, the P attached to the Ni sites in the PtNi NPs partially prevents the Ni atoms being oxidized by the external O species, which is conducive to the structural and electrochemical stability of the PtNi NPs during the ORR. The present results provide a new insight into the development of ORR catalysts with low utilization of Pt.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) usually shows amphoteric property in a neutral solution. In this work, a K&I co-doped g-C 3 N 4 is prepared by simply sintering the mixture of dicyandiamine, KI and I 2 . The K&I co-doping modulates the band structure of g-C 3 N 4 with pulling the Fermi level toward its conduction band minimum. The obtained K&I co-doped g-C 3 N 4 (K&I-C 3 N 4 ) generates positive photocurrents over the whole investigated potential range, exhibiting a typical n-type semiconductor characteristic. Therefore, the K&I co-doping transforms the g-C 3 N 4 from amphoteric to n-type semiconductor. Also, the prepared K&I-C 3 N 4 shows widened light absorption range and enhanced separation efficiency of the photogenerated charge carriers, which results in the dramatically enhanced photoelectrochemical performance.

In this study, molecularly imprinted technology, combined with fluorescence measurement and computer simulation, was used to detect contaminant p-nitrophenol. Seven molecular dynamics simulations of molecular imprinting prepolymerization systems were performed to optimize the imprinting shell. Results indicated that the system with a p-nitrophenol (4-NP): 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES): tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) mole ratio of 8 : 8 : 12 led to the best stable template–functional monomer clusters and the hybrid SiO2 layer with CdS-like clusters on the surface of CdTe was synthesized by a simple reflux procedure. The prepared imprinted materials (CdTe@SiO2-MIPs) on the surface of silica contained CdTe nanoparticles (CdTe@SiO2) by surface imprinting and Stöber method polymerization were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible analysis and X-ray diffraction. A linear relationship between relative fluorescence intensity and the concentration of 4-NP was obtained with a limit of detection of 0.08 μmol L−1 and the imprinting factor (IF) was 2.23 which indicated that special binding sites with binding property to p-nitrophenol were created on the surface of the CdTe@SiO2-MIPs materials. Ultimately, the feasibility of the fluorescent materials was successfully evaluated through the analysis of 4-NP in tap water and lake water. The recoveries were above 97.3%.

Pollutants that exist in anionic species are issues of concern in water treatment . Compared to cationic pollutants, the removal of anionic pollutants by adsorption is more difficult because most adsorbents carry predominantly negative charges in neutral and alkaline environments . In this study, a cross-linked chitosan derivative with quaternary ammonium and magnetic properties (QM-chitosan) was prepared and employed to remove chromium(VI) and phosphorus(V) (Cr(VI) and P(V)) from aqueous environments. The QM-chitosan was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) and zeta potential . Batch experiments show that QM-chitosan can effectively remove Cr(VI) and P(V), and the main mechanism was believed to be electrostatic interaction. A pseudosecond-order model was fitted to describe the kinetic processes of Cr(VI) and P(V) removal. The adsorption isotherms of both Cr(VI) and P(V) on the QM-chitosan were well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm equation. The saturated adsorption capacity of P(V) (2.783 mmol/g) was found to be higher than that of Cr(VI) (2.323 mmol/g), resulting from the size of the H 2 PO 4 − ions being smaller than that of the HCrO 4 − ions. However, the theoretical calculation and experimental results showed that QM-chitosan had a stronger affinity for Cr(VI) than P(V). The adsorption–desorption of the QM-chitosan was evaluated, and high regeneration rates were demonstrated.

This study investigated the protective effects of curcumin on tetrachloro- p -benzoquinone (TCBQ)-induced hepatotoxicity in mice. TCBQ-treatment causes significant liver injury (the elevation of serum AST and ALT activities, histopathological changes in liver section including centrilobular necrosis and inflammatory cells), oxidative stress (the elevation of TBAR level and the inhibition of SOD and catalase activities) and inflammation (up-regulation of iNOS , COX-2, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and NF-κB). However, these changes were alleviated upon pretreatment with curcumin. Interestingly, TCBQ has no effect on caspase family genes or B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)/Bcl-2 associated X (Bax) protein expressions, which implied that TCBQ-induced hepatotoxicity is independent of apoptosis. Moreover, curcumin was shown to induce phase II detoxifying/antioxidant enzymes HO-1 and NQO1 through the activation of nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2 (Nrf2). In summary, the protective mechanisms of curcumin against TCBQ-induced hepatoxicity may be related to the attenuation of oxidative stress, along with the inhibition of inflammatory response via the activation of Nrf2 signaling.
