Understanding the effects of changing climate and long-term human activities on soil organic carbon (SOC) and the mediating roles of microorganisms is critical to maintain soil C stability in agricultural ecosystem. Here, we took samples from a long-term soil transplantation experiment, in which large transects of Mollisol soil in a cold temperate region were translocated to warm temperate and mid-subtropical regions to simulate different climate conditions, with a fertilization treatment on top. This study aimed to understand fertilization effect on SOC and the role of soil microorganisms featured after long-term community incubation in warm climates. After 12 years of soil transplantation, fertilization led to less reduction of SOC, in which aromatic C increased and the consumption of O-alkyl C and carbonyl C decreased. Soil live microbes were analyzed using propidium monoazide to remove DNAs from dead cells, and their network modulization explained 60.4% of variations in soil labile C. Single-cell Raman spectroscopy combined with D 2 O isotope labeling indicated a higher metabolic activity of live microbes to use easily degradable C after soil transplantation. Compared with non-fertilization, there was a significant decrease in soil α- and β-glucosidase and delay on microbial growth with fertilization in warmer climate. Moreover, fertilization significantly increased microbial necromass as indicated by amino sugar content, and its contribution to soil resistant C reached 22.3%. This study evidentially highlights the substantial contribution of soil microbial metabolism and necromass to refractory C of SOC with addition of nutrients in the long-term.

Gold–palladium (AuPd) alloy nano-corolla are successfully prepared in high purity, followed by exploration as electrocatalysts for electroxidation of ethanol (EOR) in alkaline medium. Applying kinetics control on the one-pot formation process using a syringe pump is emphasized, where the Au/Pd precursor solution is dropwise titrated into the reaction mixture containing capping agent and reductant at an elevated temperature. We perform systematical investigation towards the morphology evolution pathway and effects of several key parameters. After loading on carbon black, the current AuPd alloy nano-corolla exhibit superb specific activity, reaction kinetics, and operation stability for EOR, showing morphological and structural merit. The present study provides insight into fabrication of bimetallic alloy nanocrystals with open structure, which could find important use in crystal engineering for multimetallic nanocrystals and rational design of fuel cell electrocatalyst. Graphical abstract Gold–palladium (AuPd) alloy nanocrystals in the form of corolla are successfully prepared via kinetic-controlled synthesis in high purity, exhibit improved activity and stability as EOR electrocatalysts in KOH solution

Abstract Modified flame retardant cotton fabrics were prepared by introducing a novel aminoethylpiperazine spirocyclic pentaerythritol bisphosphonate functional heptamethyltrisiloxane (ASPBH). The structure of the synthesized ASPBH was characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H and 31 P) and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR). ASPBH successfully attached to the surface of cotton fibers, which was proved by the results of scanning electron microscope (SEM) combined with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The flame retardancy of ASPBH-treated cotton fabrics was further improved. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) value reached 30.4%, the residual char length was reduced to 7.5 cm, and there was no afterflame and afterglow. However, the LOI of untreated cotton fabric is only 18%, and the vertical burning test cannot be completed. Thermogravimetric analysis results showed that the modified cotton fabrics has excellent thermal stability, which can also be seen from SEM analysis of char residues. In addition, addition of ASPBH caused the peak heat release rate and total heat release decrease from 232.1 to 177.2 kW/m 2 and from 6.5 to 5.0 MJ/m 2 , respectively. And the treated cotton fabrics released less smoke than untreated ones during the combustion, which would greatly reduce combustion harm. Based on analysis of condensed phase at different temperatures, the thermal degradation mechanism of ASPBH on cotton fabrics was presumed. Graphic abstract A novel aminoethylpiperazine spiro pentaerythritol bisphosphonate functional heptamethyltrisiloxane (ASPBH) can be dissolved in a mixed solution of ethanol and water to prepare a flame retardant treating solution. The original cotton fabric was immersed for a certain period of time under certain conditions, then it was dried and solidified to complete finishing process. Treated cotton can form a stable SiO 2 char layer at high temperature and release less smoke.

Frequent oil spills pose severe damages to the marine ecosystems and result in hazardous fires when the spilled oil is ignited. Developing high-performance, flame-retardant absorbent materials for large-scale water treatment is therefore urgently needed. Herein, we report an efficient post-synthetic silylation process to achieve a porous covalent-organic framework (COF), denoted as [CF 3 ] − COF. The absorption capacity of oils and organic solvents in [CF 3 ] − COF was explored by experimental measurements with the absorption mechanism illuminated by molecular simulations. The prepared [CF 3 ] − COF powders were further loaded into melamine sponge to yield a highly hydrophobic absorbent denoted as [CF 3 ] − COF@sponge, which was demonstrated to effectively remove oils/organic solvents with outstanding stability and excellent flame retardancy. Moreover, an oil-collecting apparatus was designed to continuously separate oils/organic solvents from water. The rapid recovery of oils/organic solvents from water using this device proves the great promise of [CF 3 ] − COF@sponge in water treatment.

A series of Fe(III)-based coordination-driven metallogel (MOG) electrolytes are obtained by absorbing liquid electrolytes with MOGs and applied to quasi-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The MOG, prepared by Fe 3+ and trimesic acid, presents a porous and flower-like structure, which can ensure the effective diffusion of I − /I 3 − ions and excellent infiltration to the TiO 2 photoanode. Moreover, the mechanical property of MOG is stable enough to guarantee the photovoltaic performances of DSSCs in the operating environment. In the MOG electrolyte, trimesic acid acts as the gelator to coordinate with Fe 3+ to form MOG. Furthermore, the condition of TiO 2 conduction band edge of quasi-solid-state DSSC shifts with the liquid electrolyte concentration increasing in MOG, which results in both V oc and J sc increasing firstly and then decreasing, and the process of electron kinetics is investigated to illustrate these differences. Finally, an excellent photoelectric conversion efficiency of 5.31% is obtained for MOG electrolyte–based quasi-solid-state DSSC.

Demand for light-packaging materials for food and beverages is on the rise globally, especially in developing countries where several depend on packaged food. Furthermore, poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) a semi-crystalline thermally stable polyester, is widely used for carbonated soft drink, water and juice bottles, but shows a poor degradability properties after their lifespan. In this investigation, a series of novel random partially degradable poly(carbonate- co -esters) (PTB/PTBC n ) containing 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid (TDCA), and different amounts of bis(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzene (BHEB) and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM) sub-units were successfully synthesized via a two-step melt polymerization as a facile and green semi-continuous process. The copolymers were thermally stable with tunable T g values ranging from 47 to 71 °C, while their 5% decomposition temperature (T d, 5% ) under N 2 varied from 463 to 432 °C. Herein, focus was made on the synthesis of eco-friendly polyesters with satisfactory O 2 -gas barrier properties (5.5 cm 3 mm/m 2 × day × atm) at 25 °C suitable for most packaging applications. The mechanical and thermal analysis of PTB and PTBC n polyesters revealed excellent properties comparable to commonly used packaging materials such as poly(vinyl chloride), poly(lactic acid) and PET, whereby the incorporation of cyclohexane (CHDM) and phenyl (BHEB) rings units greatly enhanced the thermal and mechanical properties, transparency, oxygen permeability, and biodegradability of these polyesters.

The cement solidification/stabilization method of heavy metal contaminated soils has been promoted in engineering practice and applied on a large scale for site remediation, but it still reveals some scientific problems in the current complex and variable global extreme climate. To solve these problems, this study used waste soda residue as a composite additive, and established an innovative composite model (cement-soda) to remediate lead-contaminated soil. The innovative composite model for unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and toxic leaching properties under different conditions were investigated As well as curing and leaching mechanisms are discussed, and future industrial practice was evaluated. The results showed that the addition of soda residue improved the early (20 days) UCS of the composite curing agent for lead-contaminated soil by an average of 23.1% MPa. The UCS strength was 0.96 MPa, which was the maximum when the percentage of soda residue composite was 40%. The concentration of Pb 2+ in the leachate of the cement-soda residue (CSH) composite curing agent was greatly reduced (average 3.28 times) compared with that of a single cement in the same situation, with an average leached Pb 2+ concentration of 1.87 mg·L −1 . This finding indicates that the addition of alkali residue improved the curing effect. The curing mechanism was divided into four steps, mainly a complex physicochemical reaction between the CSH composite and soil particles. The leaching mechanism of CSH to aqueous solution is mainly the consumption of acid ions by alkaline substances. Collectively, this study will provide scientific data to support potential lead-containing soil in site remediation technologies and future large-scale engineering applications.

In order to improve the thermal decomposition performances of ammonium perchlorate (AP), the laminated AP composite was prepared by ice-template induced self-assembly method. In this study, Iron-Konjac glucomannan (Fe 3+ -KGM) hydrosol rich in AP was selected as the freezing precursor. Through directional freezing of precursor and recrystallization of AP molecules, the laminated AP composite was obtained. The results showed that the thickness of the lamellar composite structure is about 10 to 30 μm, and the recrystallized AP particles are uniformly dispersed in the gel system. The oxygen bomb test results show that the micro-/nano-layered structure can significantly improve the sample’s combustion heat value. Thermal analyses indicated that with the increasing Fe 3+ content, the peak exothermic temperature of lamellar AP composite at different heating rates both showed a decreasing trend. With 10 wt% Fe(NO 3 ) 3 ·9H 2 O added, the decomposition peak temperature decreased from 433.0 to 336.2 °C at a heating rate of 5 °C/min, and the apparent activation energy ( E a ) decreased dramatically from 334.1 kJ/mol to 255.4 kJ/mol. A possible catalytic thermal decomposition mechanism of lamellar AP composite catalyzed by Fe 3+ was proposed. This work is beneficial to the structural design of other energetic materials.

The severe recombination of photoinduced carriers is one of the major problems encountered in C 3 N 4 -based photocatalyst for hydrogen generation. Herein, PtPd/C 3 N 4 composites by in situ growth of cubic PtPd bimetallic co-catalyst on the surface of C 3 N 4 were constructed for photocatalytic hydrogen generation under visible light irradiation. The phase structure, microstructure, and optical property were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Photocatalytic hydrogen generation results showed that the growth of a moderate amount of cubic PtPd bimetallic co-catalyst on C 3 N 4 is excellent beneficial for enhancing hydrogen generation activity. By optimizing the loading content of cubic PtPd bimetallic co-catalyst, the PtPd/C 3 N 4 composite provided a maximum hydrogen generation rate of 54.31 μmol h −1 . The enhancement of the photocatalytic activity can be attributed to the efficient separation and transfer of photoinduced carriers. On one hand, PtPd bimetal can extract electrons from C 3 N 4 , which promotes the separation efficiency of the carriers. On the other hand, the face-to-face interface formed between PtPd cubes and C 3 N 4 nanosheets has a large contact area, resulting in lots of unique high-speed carrier transfer channels in PtPd/C 3 N 4 composite, which promotes the transfer efficiency of the carriers. The work highlights the construction of less expensive and suitable shape of co-catalyst for enhanced photocatalytic activity.

Background Eucommia ulmoides seed oil is a functional health oil with a high content of unsaturated fatty acids. However, excessively high content of unsaturated fatty acids can cause E. ulmoides seed oil to easily spoil. Microencapsulation technology can effectively encapsulate substances, thereby prolonging the spoilage time of oil products. Methods In the present study, E. ulmoides seed oil from different manufacturers were analyzed by Agilent 7890B-5977A gas chromatography – mass spectrometry. Encapsulation efficiency, yield rate, and scanning electron microscopy results between microcapsules prepared use different wall materials and different methods (spray drying and complex coagulation) were compared to determine the best preparation process for microcapsules. The Wantong 892 professional oil oxidation stability tester was used to measure the induced oxidation time of the E. ulmoides seed oil and microcapsules. Conclusion E. ulmoides seed oil comprises > 80% unsaturated fatty acids with a high α-linolenic acid content, followed by linoleic acid. The most promising combination was chitosan:gum arabic at 1:8 as the wall material and complex coagulation. The best preparation had a wall material concentration, stirring speed, aggregation pH, and core-to-wall ratio of 2.5%, 500 rpm, 4.2, and 1:4, respectively. Microcapsules prepared under these conditions exhibited higher yield and encapsulation efficiency (94.0% and 73.3%, respectively). The induced oxidation time of the E. ulmoides seed oil and microcapsules were 3.8 h and 13.9 h, respectively, indicating that microencapsulation can increase the oxidation induction time of this oil.

Novel cationic lipid-based liposomes prepared using an amphiphilic cationic lipid material, N , N -dimethyl-( N ′, N ′-di-stearoyl-1-ethyl)1,3-diaminopropane (DMSP), have been proposed to enhance the transfection of nucleic acids. Herein, we designed and investigated liposomes prepared using DMSP, soybean phosphatidylcholine, and cholesterol. This novel gene vector has high gene loading capabilities and excellent protection against nuclease degradation. An in vitro study showed that the liposomes had lower toxicity and superior cellular uptake and transfection efficiency compared with Lipofectamine 2000. An endosomal escape study revealed that the liposomes demonstrated high endosomal escape and released their genetic payload in the cytoplasm efficiently. Mechanistic studies indicated that the liposome/nucleic acid complexes entered cells through energy-dependent endocytosis that was mediated by fossa proteins. These results suggest that such cationic lipid-based liposome vectors have potential for clinical gene delivery.
