Sediment samples were collected from the Chaohu Lake basin to investigate the spatial distribution and historical deposition behaviors of 17 perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). Concentrations of the total PFASs (∑PFASs) in limnetic sediments ranged from 0.719 to 2.429 ng/g dry weight (dw), with an average of 1.449 ng/g dw. A clear gradient in the spatial distribution was observed from west to east in surface sediments of Lake Chaohu. Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and perfluorooctanoic acid were predominant in limnetic sediments, with an average of 0.383 and 0.275 ng/g dw, respectively. The ∑PFASs concentrations in riverine sediments were the highest in the Shiwuli River, followed by the Nanfei River. PFASs in riverine sediments indicated that industrial discharge and urban runoff played key roles in PFAS distribution and pollution levels. In vertical profiles, concentrations of the ∑PFASs and PFAS congeners in three sediment cores generally increased with decreasing depths, indicating that the input history of the ∑PFASs could be attributed to the development of industrialization and urbanization in the Chaohu Lake basin. The correlations between PFASs and sedimentary characteristics, organic carbon, nutrients and inorganic salts suggested that both hydrophobic and electrostatic effects played important roles in PFAS distribution and pollution levels in sediments of Lake Chaohu.

Copper is an essential trace element in the human body, and its level is directly related to many diseases. While the source of copper in human body is mainly intake from food, then the detection of copper ions (Cu 2+ ) in food becomes crucial. Here, we synthesized a novel probe ( E )-3-hydroxy-2-styryl-4 H -benzo[h]chromen-4-one ( NSHF ) and explored the binding ability of NSHF for Cu 2+ using nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectroscopy ( 1 H NMR), high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), Job's plot method and density functional theory (DFT). NSHF shows the advantages of fast response time, good selectivity and high sensitivity for Cu 2+ . The fluorescence intensity ratio (F/F 0 ) of NSHF shows a good linear relationship with the concentration of Cu 2+ and the detection limit is 0.061 μM. NSHF was successfully applied to the detection of Cu 2+ in real samples. In addition, a simple and convenient Cu 2+ detection platform was constructed by combining NSHF with a smartphone and a UV lamp, which can realize the rapid detection of Cu 2+ . This work provides an effective tool for the real-time detection of Cu 2+ .

The electroconversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added chemicals has attracted widespread attention worldwide. Exploring efficient catalysts and designing reasonable reactants have become popular research directions in the strategy of coupling anode and cathode reactions. Herein, we report the construction of a self-supporting bifunctional Sn–SnSx electrode using a one-step electrodeposition method. The valence states of Sn at the Sn–SnSx surface are Sn4+, Sn2+ and Sn0, and the electrode exhibits excellent performances for the carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) and glucose oxidation reaction (GOR), respectively. For the CO2RR, the Sn–SnSx electrode produced formate with a faradaic efficiency (FE) of 93.3% and a stability of 36 h. Meanwhile, tin sulfides were first applied in anodic oxidation and a high FE of 88% was achieved for formate production in the GOR. Impressively, Sn–SnSx as a bifunctional electrode achieved co-production of formate at both the anode and cathode in the integrated electrolyzer coupled with the CO2RR and GOR. This coupling process combines the technical means of “electrooxidation–electroreduction” with the choice of reactants “CO2–C6H12O6”, resulting in FE values of 93.9% and 87.4% at the cathode and anode for the production of formate, as well as a 58.3% electrical energy saving for formate production in comparison with the traditional CO2RR coupled with the water oxidation reaction.

In our recent report (ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces2016, 8, 5308), Li+ ions had been successfully incorporated into the lattice of the selenized Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 thin film on a quartz substrate by substituting equivalent Cu+ ions, and Li+ ions was also found to have the little effect on the crystal growth and defect passivation. To further improve the cell performance of Li-doped CZTSSe devices, we conducted the same experiments on the sodium-rich soda-lime glass (SLG) substrate in this study, instead of sodium-free quartz substrate. Surprisingly, only trace amounts of Li (Li/Cu molar ratio ∼1 × 10–4) were detected in the final CZTSSe thin films; meanwhile, a large amount of sodium was present on the surface and at the grain boundaries of the selenized thin films. A Li/Na exchange mechanism is used to explain this phenomenon. Only on the sodium-free substrate can Li+ ions enter the CZTSSe host lattice, and doping Li+ ions on the SLG substrate are nearly identical to doping Na+ ions.

Molybdenum (Mo) is an essential trace element for animals and human beings. However, the negative effects on rumen function and distribution of trace elements in tissues induced by excessive Mo have not been well understood. Therefore, the purpose of present study was to investigate the impact of Mo on rumen microbiota, distribution of trace elements in various organs, and hematological parameters of goats. A total of 36 goats were randomly distributed into three groups with equal number and low-Mo and high-Mo groups were orally administered ammonium molybdate at 15 and 45 mg · Mo · kg −1 · BW respectively, while the control group received corresponding quantitative deionized water. The results showed that the total number of ciliate and protozoa protein concentration decreased significantly ( P < 0.01) on days 25 and 50. Concentrations of ammonia nitrogen and bacterial protein were significantly higher ( P < 0.05) in low-Mo group, while they were lower ( P < 0.05) in high-Mo group than the control group on days 25 and 50. In addition, Mo accumulated in serum and all detected tissues. Copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) contents significantly decreased ( P < 0.05) in hair and serum on days 25 and 50, while Cu contents increased ( P < 0.05) and the change of Zn contents were not obvious ( P > 0.05) in other tissues on days 25 and 50. Besides, there was no obvious variation in iron (Fe) contents during whole experiment period ( P > 0.05). Furthermore, excessive Mo content had no significant effect on red blood cell (RBC) counts and hemoglobin (HGB) concentration ( P > 0.05) on days 25 and 50, while white blood cell (WBC) counts increased significantly ( P < 0.05) on day 50. These results indicated that excessive Mo content could impact the balance of ruminal microorganisms and interfere with the absorption and distribution of Mo and Cu mainly.

Breast cancer is the primary reason for cancer-related death in women worldwide and the development of new formulations to treat breast cancer patients is crucial. Curcumin (Cur), a natural product, exerts promising anticancer activities against various cancer types. However, its therapeutic efficacy is hindered as a result of poor water solubility, instability, and low bioavailability. The aim of this work is to assess the curative effect of a novel nanoformulation, i.e., Cur-loaded and calcium-doped dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles modified with folic acid (Cur-Ca@DMSNs-FA) for breast cancer therapy. The results manifested that Cur-Ca@DMSNs-FA dispersed very well in aqueous solution, released Cur with a pH-responsible profile, and targeted efficiently to human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. Further investigations indicated that Cur-Ca@DMSNs-FA effectively inhibited cell proliferation, increased intracellular ROS generation, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, and enhanced cell cycle retardation at G2/M phase, leading to a higher apoptosis rate in MCF-7 compared to free Cur. Moreover, the Western blotting analysis demonstrated that Cur-Ca@DMSNs-FA were more active than free Cur through suppression of PI3K/AKT/mTOR and Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and activation of the mitochondria-mediated apoptosis pathway. In addition, hemolysis assay showed that the Ca@DMSNs-FA exhibited good biocompatibility. Last, in vivo studies indicated that when Cur was encapsulated in Ca@DMSNs-FA, the Cur concentration in blood serum and tumor tissues was increased after 1 h intraperitoneal injection. In conclusion, Cur-Ca@DMSNs-FA might act as a potential anticancer drug formulation for breast cancer therapy.

A facile electrochemical plating strategy has been employed to prepare the electroactive metal–organic framework film (NENU-3) onto a copper electrode in the acid electrolyte containing 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H3BTC) and phosphotungstic acid (PTA). The as-made NENU-3 films have been characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA). These analyses indicate that NENU-3 films have high phase purity and high stability. Further, different electrochemical techniques are utilized for measuring the electrochemical behaviors of the NENU-3 film electrodes. Accordingly, the kinetic parameters of a NENU-3 film electrode towards the electrocatalytic reduction of bromate are obtained, including the electron transfer coefficient (α), the catalytic rate constant (ks), and the diffusion coefficient (D). The film electrodes present excellent electrocatalytic ability for the bromate reduction, and can be used successfully for the amperometric detection of bromate. Under the optimized conditions, the proposed sensor exhibits a wide linear range (0.05–72.74 mM) and a lower detection limit (12 μM) measured by chronoamperometry (CA). Moreover, the films possess high electrochemical stability and strong anti-interference capability in the bromate detection process. It has been demonstrated that the electrochemical plating method reported here offers a reliable and efficient way to fabricate MOF films on conductive substrates for bromate detection.

Bromoactylated apple seeds (BAS) was used as new source for the synthesis of environmental adsorbent. Apple seeds were modified by bromoacetyl bromide to obtain a macroinitiator for single electron transfer-living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) of acrylonitrile (AN). The amidoxime (AO) adsorbent was prepared by the reaction of the graft copolymer bromoactylated apple seeds (BAS)/polyacrylonitrile (BAS- g -PAN) with hydroxylamine. Amidoxime BAS- g -PAN (AO BAS- g -PAN) was used to remove Pb(II) and the maximum adsorption for Pb(II) was 1.58 mmol/g. AO BAS- g -PAN could also selectively adsorb Pb(II) from binary ion systems in the existence of Ag(I), Ni(II) and Zn(II). This efficient modifying approach provides a new powerful mean toward filling the gap on apple waste as a potential source for controlling heavy metal pollution.

Ternary copper tin sulfide (Cu–Sn–S) compounds have been investigated for decades as promising candidates of earth-abundant thin film solar cell absorbers. Cu 2 SnS 3 is a representative member of this material system, and is highly expected to be a potential thermoelectric material by the first-principles calculations. In this work, Cu 2 SnS 3 bulk materials were synthesized by the mechanical alloying (MA) combined with spark plasma sintering (SPS), and their crystal structures, electronic transport properties and enhanced thermoelectric performance were systematically investigated. We found that pristine Cu 2 SnS 3 is a p-type thermoelectric material with a relatively high thermopower up to 300 μV/K and low thermal conductivity below 1.0 W/m K above 700 K. It revealed that In doping is an effective means to improve the electrical transport properties, which leads to a figure of merit ( ZT ) of Cu 2 Sn 0.9 In 0.1 S 3 close to 0.6 at the relatively low temperature (773 K).

This paper presents a novel die attach material that withstands high working temperatures of up to 676 °C after < 40 min of reflow at 250 °C. The die attach material was preform compressed with Cu@Sn core-shell structured microparticles . When the reflow temperature reached 232 °C, the outer Sn layer melted and connected the inner Cu cores. After reflow soldering at 250 °C for 8 min, the outer Sn completely transformed into network-like Cu-Sn intermetallic compounds (IMCs), which have a higher remelting temperature than Sn (415 °C for Cu 6 Sn 5 and 676 °C for Cu 3 Sn). Consequently, the inner Cu cores were interconnected by the formed network-like Cu-Sn IMCs with a high remelting temperature of at least 415 °C. If the sample was reflowed at 250 °C for 40 min, the outer Cu 6 Sn 5 layer completely transformed into Cu 3 Sn, and the resulting bondline could sustain a higher temperature. The shear strengths of the resulting bondlines after reflow soldering at 250 °C for 8 and 40 min were 29.35 and 18.78 MPa at 400 and 500 °C, respectively.

CZTSSe based thin film solar cells have received considerable interests due to low material cost, suitable band gaps and high absorption coefficient of CZTSSe materials. Achieving high efficiency CZTSSe based thin film solar cells often need a high temperature selenization process that always causes Sn loss in the form of gaseous SnSe 2 . Additional Sn complement may decrease the loss of Sn during selenization process and improve the performance of fabricated CZTSSe based thin film solar cells. Here, we investigate the effect of additional Sn complement on the performance of CZTSSe based thin film solar cells fabricated from pure element solution. XRD and Raman characterizations indicate that additional Sn complement could reduce the secondary phase that may cause the voltage loss and decrease of efficiency. The solar cell fabricated with 15% additional Sn complement shows the best conversion efficiency of 8.71% (V OC =0.42 V, J SC =32.73 mA cm −2 , FF=63.19%). To the best of our knowledge, it is the highest efficiency of CZTSSe based thin film solar cells fabricated from pure element solution.
