The sensitivity and quantitative accuracy of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) are the main factors that restrict its application. Here, novel Au nanoscale convex polyhedrons (Au NCPs) were designed and fabricated to solve these problems via an embedded standard, including eight pods and six small protrusions. Spherical Au seeds regrew into different sizes of Au NCPs with a face-centered cubic structure. This morphology is due to the dual mechanism of the 4-aminothiophene (4-ATP) molecule that serves as an internal standard and a surface ligand regulator combined with the regulatory role of hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride. The results show that Au NCPs were enclosed by high-index {12 9 1} facets, which greatly improved the local plasma resonance and reduced the lowest SERS detectable concentration of pyrene in standard seawater to 0.5 nM. An effective reference was produced by embedding 4-ATP with a relative standard deviation value less than 2.97% (in the same batch) and 3.92% (between different batches). Our research offers a new strategy for morphological regulation of metal nanocrystals, which is useful for the preparation of highly sensitive SERS substrates and trace analysis.

Aurivillius phases with narrow band gaps have attracted extensive interest in the field of photocatalysis, however, they exhibit poor activity due to the low utilization of photogenerated carriers. Herein, a series of S-scheme C3N4@Bi m+1 Fe m-3 Ti 3 O 3m+3 (m = 4, 5, 6) heterojunctions with two-dimensional structures were synthesized by simple two-step method. Compared with single materials, the composites exhibit excellent photocatalytic tetracycline degradation under visible light, and 91.8% of tetracycline can be degraded accompanied with 81.2% of TOC removal within 120 min over C 3 N 4 @Bi 5 FeTi 3 O 15 . The enhanced photocatalytic performance is due to strong interface interaction, high conductivity, and efficient charge separation ability. The mechanism analysis indicates that the C 3 N 4 @Bi 5 FeTi 3 O 15 heterojunction follows an S-scheme heterojunction mechanism with a strong interfacial internal electric field directed from C 3 N 4 to Bi 5 FeTi 3 O 15 , thus, the photogenerated electrons in Bi 5 FeTi 3 O 15 move toward C 3 N 4 , which retains high oxidation ability of Bi 5 FeTi 3 O 15 and high reduction ability of C 3 N 4 to efficiently produce the reactive species, such as O 2 − · and ·OH.

Developing low-cost and highly efficient hydrophobic absorbents via simple and environmentally friendly method is demanded for oil-water separation. This paper reports the preparation of hydrophobic absorbents of porous poly(4-tert-butylstyrene- co -divinylbenzene) (poly( t BS- co -DVB)) via high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) template method. The effects of crosslinking degree and internal phase volume fraction on the porous structure and adsorption performance of the absorbents are investigated. As the t BS/DVB molar ratio increases from 1:1 to 4:1, the adsorption performance of poly( t BS- co -DVB) toward hexane first increases to a maximum at a molar ratio of 3:1 and then decreases. As the internal phase volume fraction increases, the specific surface area (SSA) and porosity of the poly( t BS- co -DVB)s notably increase from 33.06 m 2 /g and 84.07% to 102.89 m 2 /g and 92.94%, respectively. When the internal phase fraction is 95 vol%, the obtained poly( t BS- co -DVB) foam with a water contact angle of 140° shows an absorbing capacity as high as 70.21 g/g for dichloromethane. After 10 consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles, the adsorption performance of the poly( t BS- co -DVB) foam shows only a slight decrease, indicating an excellent recycling ability. The obtained poly( t BS- co -DVB) foams exhibit the advantages of facile preparation, high oil absorption capacity and satisfactory recoverability, which enable them potential as sustainable oil adsorbents.

4-Chloroaniline (4-CAN) plays an important role in chemical and industrial production. However, it remains a challenge to avoid the hydrogenation of the C–Cl bond in the synthesis process to improve selectivity under high activity conditions. In this study, we in situ fabricated ruthenium nanoparticles (Ru NPs) containing vacancies inserted into porous carbon (Ru@C-2) as a highly efficient catalyst for the catalytic hydrogenation of 4-chloronitrobenzene (4-CNB) with remarkable conversion (99.9%), selectivity (99.9%), and stability. Experiments and theoretical calculations indicate that the appropriate Ru vacancies affect the charge distribution of the Ru@C-2 catalyst, promote the electron transfer between the Ru metal and support, and increase the active sites of the Ru metal, thus facilitating the adsorption of 4-CNB and the desorption of 4-CAN to improve the activity and stability of the catalyst. This study can provide some enlightenment for the development of new 4-CNB hydrogenation catalysts.

In this study, the three-dimensional (3D) flowerlike porous Fe3O4 microcrystals were prepared by a self-assembly approach with the assistance of ethylene glycol (EG). The generation mechanism of the 3D flowerlike Fe3O4 microcrystals was revealed through controlling the parameters of the hydrothermal reaction time, the molar mass of the urea, and the calcination temperature. The proposed 3D flowerlike Fe3O4 microcrystals exhibited superparamagnetic behaviors with high saturation magnetization (i.e., up to 73.1 emu·g–1) at room temperature. The Fe3O4–Au magnetic composites (MCs) were further prepared by a seed deposition process, and surface features were revealed by TEM, XRD, XPS, UV–vis, and SQUID techniques. Compared with the Fe3O4 microcrystals themselves, the Au (∼20 nm) covered Fe3O4 microcrystals provided efficient and recyclable catalytic performance (e.g., unprecedented high turnover frequency of 2.874 min–1) for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). More importantly, the proposed Fe3O4–Au MCs could be used to reduce 4-NP for more than six cycles, elaborating that Fe3O4–Au MCs are promising catalysts in the field of environmental purification.

In this work, using a modified Stöber process, we synthesized ordered mesoporous silica cubic particles (OMS-C) and prepared a nanocatalyst (Ag–OMS-C) based on OMS-C with a high surface area via an in situ auto-reduction strategy. The as-prepared Ag–OMS-C nanocomposites demonstrated open mesopores (3.51 nm), a large specific surface area (540 m2 g−1) and a high pore volume (0.88 cm3 g−1). The catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) over the Ag–OMS-C nanocatalyst was almost complete within 150 s without stirring and the rate constant k (30 × 10−3 s−1) is much higher than those of other substrate-supported Ag nanocatalysts. Moreover, the Ag–OMS-C nanocomposites hold a stable catalytic efficiency over five reaction cycles. The results indicate that the Ag–OMS-C nanocatalyst exhibited high catalytic activity and good reusability toward the reduction of 4-NP, which might be attributed to the large specific surface area, the pore structure of the nanocatalyst, as well as the synergistic effect between OMS-C and AgNPs.

This work reports the preparation of a hydroxyl terminated polystyrene-b-polybutadiene-b-polystyrene triblock copolymer (SBS) with high cis-1, 4 content via a novel nickel catalyst, [η3-Ni(CH2CHCHCH2OOCH3)][BPhF4]. FT-IR,1H-NMR, and13C NMR indicated that the polybutadiene segment of the copolymer contains greater than 90% cis-1, 4 structure, indicating achievement of the objective. Toward the functionalization goal, a hydroxyl group was successfully introduced at the end of the triblock copolymer (HO–SBS–OH). The results of gel permeation chromatography (GPC) revealed that the polymer is indeed a triblock copolymer, with no traces of homopolymer. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed that HO–SBS–OH synthesized using the novel catalyst had a lower glass transition temperature (Tg) than HO–SBS–OH synthesized with an alkyl lithium catalyst. Therefore, the polymer synthesized via the novel catalyst contains high cis-1,4 content and displays excellent low-temperature mechanical properties.Keywords:hydroxyl terminated polystyrene-b-polybutadiene-b-polystyrene triblock copolymer;high cis-1,4 content;nickel catalyst

Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation has drawn increasing attention in eliminating the recalcitrant organic pollutants in water. Manipulation of generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) over Ce doped Mn 2 O 3 during the PMS activation was firstly reported for the complete degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in this study. Ce in-situ introduction can greatly enhance the PMS activation performance of Mn 2 O 3 . For example, 100% of 2,4-DCP degradation can be obtained at 90 min over 4 wt% Ce doped Mn 2 O 3 at pH 7 (82.1% for Mn 2 O 3 at 90 min). The reaction rate constant ( k ) was also about 3.6 times higher than that of Mn 2 O 3 (0.0668 min −1 for Ce doped Mn 2 O 3 vs. 0.0186 min −1 for Mn 2 O 3 ). Besides 1 O 2 , OH and SO 4 − were identified and involved in 2,4-DCP degradation process over Ce doped Mn 2 O 3 , while only 1 O 2 was detected over 3D Mn 2 O 3 . Moreover, the contribution of OH and SO 4 − to 2,4-DCP degradation can be regulated by adjusting the Ce doping amount. The key role of Ce substitution in the regulation of reactive oxygen species was further investigated by XPS and electrochemical experiments. The Ce dopant can lead to a higher current density and greater reductive capability due to the improved charge transfer capability, which is important to the generation of more aggressive OH and SO 4 − and complete 2,4-DCP degradation.

Supported gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have recently attracted significant interest in catalysis, with much emphasis on optimizing the catalytic activity of AuNPs. We herein reported the promotion effect of weak ultraviolet (UV) light on the activity of titania nanotube (TNT) supported AuNPs (Au/TNT) for catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol by sodium borohydride. The presence of low-intensity UV irradiation increased the turnover frequency of Au/TNT for the reaction by a factor of 2.56–4.97 (increase factor depending on the Au loading amount). The photonic efficiency of the reaction for Au/TNT was found to be far more higher than the literature values for titanium oxide-based catalysts, suggesting that the reaction was not primarily implemented via a photocatalytic pathway. We attributed the pronounced promotion effects to the negative surface charge on AuNPs that formed from the charge separation between AuNPs and TNT. The negative surface charge assisted the formation of active Au-H intermediates and the activation of 4-nitrophenol molecules, giving rise to markedly enhanced catalytic activity for 4-nitrophenol reduction under low-intensity UV irradiation. The findings imply that weak UV irradiation is a very efficient and cost-effective approach to tune the surface charge and hence catalytic activity of semiconductor supported AuNPs.

The purpose of the present study was to dig into recent studies designed to characterize the impacts of 2'-deoxy-2'-β-fluoro-4'-azidocytidine (FNC) on P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). Specifically,
the modulation effects of FNC on P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP protein expressions were assessed by western blot methods. 5 (and 6)-Carboxy-2',7'-dichloroflourescein (CDF) and BODIPY-prazosin were used to provide indications of alterations of MRP2 and BCRP activities. The effects of P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP
on FNC were evaluated in the in situ single-pass intestinal perfusion model. The results showed that FNC at higher concentrations and with longer incubation times can upregulate the protein expression of P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP in Caco-2 cells. The upregulated proteins were also functionally
active, as revealed by a lower degree of CDF and BODIPY-prazosin uptake by the cell monolayers. The intestinal absorptive coefficient (Peff) was observed to significantly increase with the inhibitors of P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP. These results suggested that FNC could modulate the expressions and
functions of P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP, while P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP were involved in the efflux transport of FNC. The inductive effects of FNC on P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP suggested the possibility of FNC to contribute to the inter- and intra-individual variability of itself, as well as to alter the absorption
of other drugs that may be administered concomitantly.

4-Nitrobenzaldehyde is the synthetic raw material and an important photodegradation product of chloramphenicol . With a structural “alert” of human genotoxic potential and reported mutagenicity, this compound should be controlled in drug substances as a potential genotoxic impurity. However, current analysis methods require complex pre-treatment processes and/or lack sufficient specificity and sensitivity. Nitrophenylhydrazine is a common carbonyl derivatization reagent used to determine the residual aromatic aldehydes in drug samples. In the present study, we report an unexpected advantage of 3-nitrophenylhydrazine hydrochloride as a derivatization reagent in the derivatization high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection method to determine 4-nitrobenzaldehyde in chloramphenicol samples. Compared with other nitro-substituted phenylhydrazines , 3-nitrophenylhydrazine hydrochloride can minimize drug matrix and derivatization reagent interferences, since the maximum absorption wavelength of its derivative is significantly red-shifted to 397 nm. The derivatization conditions have been optimized in terms of reaction efficiency, including reaction temperature, time, and diluting solvent, through a design of experiments. As a result, after reaction with 500 μg mL −1 of 3-nitrophenylhydrazine hydrochloride in acetonitrile-water (70:30, v/v) at 60 °C for 30 min, the developed HPLC method could be used to determine 4-nitrobenzaldehyde with a limit of detection of 0.009 μg mL −1 . The method was then validated and applied for the determination of residual 4-nitrobenzaldehyde in chloramphenicol and its eye-drop samples.

Wastewater containing 1-amino-2-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid (ANS) is mainly derived from the dye production process, causing serious environmental problems. In this work, extraction of ANS from wastewater was carried out using trioctylamine (TOA) under condition of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) as a diluent. The effects of diluent type, concentration of TOA, temperature and pH on the distribution coefficient (D) were discussed in detail. The results showed that the value of D = 76 was obtained with TOA (1.41 mol kg −1 ) + MIBK at 25 °C and pH = 1.1. After that, the extraction mechanism was determined by analyzing the chemical bonds of the complex compound using UV–vis, FT-IR and 1 H NMR. The experimental results showed that the extractant could be regenerated by back extraction. Specially the distillation process was simulated using Aspen Plus and the results verified its feasibility in the process of extractant regeneration. The proposed extraction system is conductive to both environment and technology .
