Carbonaceous shell-coated γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles (γ-Fe 2 O 3 @CNM) were synthesized from glucose caramelization and used as a novel magnetic solid-phase extraction medium for malachite green and crystal violet in environmental water. Malachite green and crystal violet were absorbed on to γ-Fe 2 O 3 @CNM by electrostatic and π-interactions. The morphologies, pore structures, surface functional groups, and magnetic properties of γ-Fe 2 O 3 @CNM were characterized by TEM, FTIR, hysteresis regression, Brunauer-Emmet-Teller analysis, zeta potential, XPS, and XRD. The magnetic solid-phase extraction procedure was optimized by extraction pH, absorption time, desorption solvent, and desorption time. The absorption capacities (q max values) for malachite green and crystal violet were 34.2 and 27.9 mg g −1 , respectively. After magnetic solid-phase extraction, malachite green and crystal violet were determined by LC-MS/MS. The analytical method was validated with a linear range of 0.02–20 ng mL −1 , enrichment factor of 25.8 and 25.4, method detection limit of 0.004 ng mL −1 , and intra-day precisions of 2.1% and 2.6% for malachite green and crystal violet, respectively. The relative recovery was found to be 73.4–101.5% for malachite green and 83.1–102.7% for crystal violet upon the application of the magnetic solid-phase extraction method to real water samples from lake, spring, sea, fishpond, and industrial waste.
Caramelized-carbon-coated magnetic nanoparticles are used as novel extraction medium based on electrostatic and π-interactions. It is porous, amphiphilic, electronegative, magnetically strong, and features abundant absorption site. These characteristics stimulate mass transfer and result in a useful MSPE method in environmental analysis.

The development of high-power white light-emitting diodes demands highly efficient and stable all-inorganic color converters. In this respect, phosphor-glass/ceramic composites show great promise as they could combine the merits of high quantum efficiency of phosphors and high chemical and thermal stabilities of glass/ceramic matrices. However, strong interfacial reaction between phosphors and matrices at high temperature results in quantum efficiency loss of the embedded phosphors, and traditional solutions rely on high-pressure consolidation techniques. Here we report the intrinsic inhibition of interfacial reaction by using silica glass rather than multicomponent glasses as the matrix. The embedment of phosphors is achieved via a pressureless sintering method, rendering these color-tunable phosphor-glass composites not only accessible to three-dimensional printing technique, but also highly efficient (internal quantum efficiency >90.0%), thermally stable at 1200 °C and hydrothermally stable at 200 °C. Our results provide a facile and general strategy for developing all-inorganic functional composites.

Cancer metastasis is the primary cause of death in patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Piperine, an active nontoxic ingredient in pepper, has potent anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. However, little is known about the anti-migratory and anti-invasive effects of piperine on colorectal cancer. We demonstrated piperine inhibited the migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cells. Then, we found piperine reversed the biomarker expression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and suppressed the EMT regulator Snail. Furthermore, signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) was downregulated by piperine. Finally, STAT3 inhibitors were applied to observe the role of STAT3 in colorectal cancer migration, invasion and EMT. Collectively, piperine inhibits colorectal cancer migratory and invasive capacities through STAT3/Snail mediated EMT. Therefore, piperine could be applied as a possible therapeutic regimen for the prevention of colorectal cancer metastasis.

To reduce the quadratic scaling of the series resistance( R s ) and sheet resistance( R st ) of the devices, physical isolation of the large area devices into small pieces has been proven to be a reliable and cost-efficient patterning technique. In this paper, we got an interesting result that the physical isolation did not show obvious effect on the photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells(PSCs) when fixing the active area. Three different isolation types, unetched ITO, etched ITO, and laser etching whole devices, have been induced to investigate the physical isolation roles. The results show that the electrons and holes could be collected efficiently in active area for all the isolation types. The proposed mechanism illustrates that the nonradiative recombination and recombination of electrons and hole in inactive area do not influence the performance of devices. This work may open a new way for the commercialization of PSCs by reducing the complex process and the etching costs.

In this study, two novel mixed ACE-inhibiting peptides, namely Se-TAPep 1 and TAPep 1, were prepared and purified from selenium-enriched and common alkali-soluble proteins using a series of process, and then its physicochemical properties and oligopeptide sequence were analyzed. The results showed that Se-TAPep 1 and TAPep 1 could be successfully separated, but their ACE inhibitory activities were different (IC50 values were 13.39 mg/mL and 23.56 mg/mL, respectively), this may be related to the difference in selenium content. Further analysis of physicochemical properties showed that the protein or peptide fractions contained their characteristic absorption peaks and contained aromatic amino acids, while the apparent morphology was different, the presence of selenium could change the apparent morphology of protein or polypeptide fractions, arranging of selenium-enriched fractions more irregular. The amino acid composition analysis showed that the Pro content of the selenium-enriched fractions was higher than that of the ordinary component, whereas the oligopeptide sequence analysis showed that both LQPSLGFP derived from Se-TAPep 1 and AETGEIKGHY derived from TAPep 1 contained some characteristics of highly active ACE-inhibiting peptides, but the characteristics of LQPSLGFP were more conspicuous, which may be related to its molecular weight and source of mixed peptides. These findings indicated that the selenium-enriched tea mixed peptides had better potential uses than ordinary tea mixed peptides in the preparation of functional food.

Oxidation of coal under mild conditions is effective not only to understand the macromolecular network structure of coal but also to produce useful chemicals, allowing more efficient application of coal resources. In this work, the mild oxidation of Zhundong subbituminous coal (ZS) by Fe 2+ /H 2 O 2 system was carried out under various conditions, including [Fe 2+ ]/[H 2 O 2 ] molar ratio, temperature, H 2 O 2 concentration and oxidation time. The liquid oxidation products were analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), and the chemical structure changes were studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results suggest that the oxidation efficiency of ZS with H 2 O 2 is enhanced with the aid of Fe 2+ . The optimum conditions were determined to be [Fe 2+ ]/[H 2 O 2 ] molar ratio of 0.00453, H 2 O 2 concentration of 3mol/L, 60 oC and 4 h according to the oxidation conversion rate. In total, 25 compounds were identified, which could be categorized as six group components. Most of them are valuedadded chemicals, and the content of benzene carboxylic acids is the highest among them, making up 29.99% of all group components in total relative content (TRC). -CH 2 - should be primary bridge connecting the aromatic rings, and alkylene chains linking three aromatic rings are abundant in ZS.

Meso-porous SnO 2 fibers were prepared via hydrothermal method, and natural silk was used as bio-template. Au nanoparticles served as the sensitizer were prepared on the surface of these SnO 2 fibers to further enhance the properties of gas sensing. Results show that these Au-modified products presented high surface area of 168.66 m 2 /g and meso-porous structure, and these fibers were composed of nanosized SnO 2 and Au particles with the size of about 7 ± 0.5 nm and 5 ± 0.5 nm, respectively. Gas sensing properties of these synthesized pristine products and Au-loaded fibers were investigated. Results show that these Au-modified SnO 2 fibers exhibited remarkably enhanced sensing performance to n -butanol with high response, good selectivity and good stability. The gas sensing mechanism was discussed from the effects of meso-porous structure, high surface area and Au nanoparticle catalytic activity.

A simple method is established to synthesize bio-based cross-linked polyitaconamides (cPITAs) through a Michael ene-amine addition and bulk polycondensation. A tetraester, i.e. tetramethyl piperazine-N,N′-bis(2-methylene butanedioate) (TMPB), was synthesized through a Michael addition of dimethyl itaconate and piperazine at 90 °C. Bulk polycondensation of TMPB with butanediamine or hexamethylenediamine was conducted at 130–170 °C under atmospheric pressure, and several cPITAs with tunable properties were prepared. The Michael addition and the polycondensation were monitored by FT-IR and 1 H NMR spectra. The cPITA films were characterized by DSC, WAXS, TGA, dynamic mechanical analysis, and tensile test. cPITAs exhibited T g ranging from 58 to 72 °C, tensile strength up to 85 MPa, and strain at break from 9% to 17%.

The purpose of this study was to construct a biomimetic urethral repair substitute. The nano-Laponite/polylactic acid–glycolic acid copolymer (PLGA) fiber scaffolds were produced to replicate the natural human urethra tissue microenvironment. PLGA (molar ratio 50:50) and Laponite were used in this study as raw materials. The nano-Laponite/PLGA scaffolds were fabricated via electrospinning technology. After preparing the material, the microstructural and mechanical properties of the nano-Laponite/PLGA scaffold were tested via scanning electron microscopy and electronic universal testing. The effects of different amounts of Laponite on the degradation of the nano-Laponite/PLGA scaffold were studied. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were co-cultured with PLGA and nano-Laponite/PLGA scaffolds for 24, 48, or 72 h. Scanning electron microscopy results illustrated that the microstructure of the scaffold fabricated by electrospinning was similar to that of the natural extracellular matrix. When the electrospinning liquid contained 10% Laponite, the nano-Laponite/PLGA stress–strain curve illustrated that the scaffold has strong elastic deformation ability. HUVECs exhibited good growth on the nano-Laponite/PLGA scaffold. When the scaffold contained 1% Laponite, the cell proliferation rate in the CCK-8 test was significantly better than that for the other three materials, displaying good cell culture characteristics. The 1% nano-Laponite/PLGA composite scaffold can be used as a suitable urethral repair material, but its performance requires further development and research.

High-temperature lithium battery system operated between 150 and 300 °C is highly desirable to be applied in oil/gas and geothermal explorations. However, the development of cathode material for high-temperature lithium batteries is relatively sluggish. In this study, LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 (NCM) is coated with Li 2 MoO 4 by a facile solid-state reaction between MoO 3 and surface lithium residue and the resulting composite is applied in high-temperature lithium batteries as a novel cathode material. Such a strategy can not only remove lithium residue components, but also facilitate lithium-ion transport in NCM through the resulting Li 2 MoO 4 coating layer. At 200 °C, the discharge capacity and rate capacity of Li 2 MoO 4 coated NCM are dramatically improved compared to the pristine one. At 300 °C, the electrochemical performance of 4m-NCM is better than other samples, and each sample exhibits better electrochemical performances than it is at 200 °C due to the enhanced kinetics in high temperature.

The industrial synthesis of ammonia (NH 3 ) using iron-based Haber-Bosch catalyst requires harsh reaction conditions. Developing advanced catalysts that perform well at mild conditions (<400 °C, <2 MPa) for industrial application is a long-term goal. Here we report a Co-N-C catalyst with high NH 3 synthesis rate that simultaneously exhibits dynamic and steady-state active sites. Our studies demonstrate that the atomically dispersed cobalt weakly coordinated with pyridine N reacts with surface H 2 to produce NH 3 via a chemical looping pathway. Pyrrolic N serves as an anchor to stabilize the single cobalt atom in the form of Co 1 -N 3.5 that facilitates N 2 adsorption and step-by-step hydrogenation of N 2 to *HNNH, *NH-NH 3 and *NH 2 -NH 4 . Finally, NH 3 is facilely generated via the breaking of the *NH 2 -NH 4 bond. With the co-existence of dynamic and steady-state single atom active sites, the Co-N-C catalyst circumvents the bottleneck of N 2 dissociation, making the synthesis of NH 3 at mild conditions possible.

A novel nitrogen-containing graphitic mesoporous carbon was prepared through MnO-templated method using polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as both carbon and nitrogen sources, and MnCO 3 as both template and catalyst precursors. The effects of preparation conditions on the physicochemical properties of obtained samples were systematically investigated. The results showed that as the decrease of the weight ratios of PAN and MnO (2:1–1:4), the increase of carbonization temperature (700–900 °C) and pre-oxidation temperature (180–200 °C), the samples had higher specific surface area, mesopores volume and ratios, up to 507 m 2 /g, 0.824 cm 3 /g and 96.83%, respectively. Moreover, the prepared samples presented relatively high graphitic degree and nitrogen contents (~2.21%). The adsorption capacity for acid red 88 (AR88) was as high as 309 mg/g, which were dramatically affected by the mesoporous properties and C- and N-containing groups on the surface of prepared carbon. The rich graphic carbon and pyridine-N in mesoporous carbon generated π-π dispersion and electrostatic interaction with AR88, respectively, which jointly were responsible for the adsorption process. The results of the isotherm and kinetic studies indicated that the AR88 adsorption on mesoporous carbon could be well depicted using Langmuir model and pseudo-2 nd -order model.
