Efflux transport is a critical determinant to the pharmacokinetics of sulfate conjugates. Here we aimed to establish SULT1A3 stably transfected HEK293 cells, and to determine the contributions of BCRP and MRP transporters to excretion of chrysin and apigenin sulfates. The cDNA of SULT1A3 was stably introduced into HEK293 cells using a lentiviral vector , generating a sulfonation active cell line (i.e., SULT293 cells). Identification of sulfate transporters was achieved through chemical inhibition (using chemical inhibitors) and biological inhibition (using short-hairpin RNAs (shRNAs)) methods. Sulfated metabolites were rapidly generated and excreted upon incubation of SULT293 cells with chrysin and apigenin. Ko143 (a selective BCRP inhibitor) did not show inhibitory effects on sulfate disposition, whereas the pan-MRP inhibitor MK-571 caused significant reductions (38.5–64.3%, p < 0.001) in sulfate excretion and marked elevations (160–243%, p < 0.05) in sulfate accumulation. Further, two efflux transporters (BCRP and MRP4) expressed in the cells were knocked-down by shRNA-mediated silencing. Neither sulfate excretion nor sulfate accumulation was altered in BCRP knocked-down cells as compared to scramble cells. By contrast, MRP4 knock-down led to moderate decreases (17.1–20.6%, p < 0.05) in sulfate excretion and increases (125–135%, p < 0.05) in sulfate accumulation. In conclusion, MRP4 was identified as an exporter for chrysin and apigenin sulfates. The SULT1A3 modified HEK293 cells were an appropriate tool to study SULT1A3-mediated sulfonation and to characterize BCRP/MRP4-mediated sulfate transport.

In this paper, the mole fraction solubility of 2-hydrazino-4-methylbenzothiazole (MHB) in acetone, toluene, methanol, ethanol, water, ethyl acetate, n-propanol, isopropanol, 1-butanol, and methanol/ethanol/n-propanol/acetone + water was determined by the isothermal saturation method at 273.15 to 318.15 K under 101.2 kPa. Meanwhile, high-performance liquid chromatography was used to detect the solubility of MHB. The mole fraction of MHB increased with the increase of temperature in monosolvents, and the composition of solvent mixtures also played a decisive role in the solubility of MHB in mixed systems. Then, four models for five monosolvents (Apelblat, van’t Hoff, λh, NRTL, and the Jouyban model) and three models for mixed solvents [Jouyban–Acree (J–A), van’t Hoff–Jouyban–Acree (V–J–A), and modified Apelblat–Jouyban–Acree (A–J–A) model] were utilized to correlate the mole fraction of MHB. The maximum deviations [relative average deviation (RAD) and root-mean-square deviation (RMSD)] between the experimental data and the solubility data calculated by the models for monosolvents were 7.13% and 6.11 × 10–4 (from the Jouyban model in pure ethyl acetate), respectively. The maximum RAD and RMSD for mixed systems were 1.58% (from the A–J–A model in methanol + water) and 1.35 × 10–4 (from the J–A and A–J–A models in acetone + water), respectively.

An “on–off–on” fluorescence sensor was designed for rapidly and consecutively detecting 4-nitrophenol and cerium(IV) without the use of any labeling materials. The yellow carbon dots were synthesized by a simple one-step hydrothermal approach, and various techniques were applied to investigate the morphology, structure, and optical properties of the carbon dots. Under the optimal experimental conditions, 4-nitrophenol rapidly quenched the fluorescence of carbon dots as a result of the inner filter effect (IFE). The fluorescence intensity of carbon dots was linear with the concentration of 4-nitrophenol (1–150 μmol/L) and the limit of detection was 0.32 μmol/L. The fluorescence was gradually recovered as the cerium(IV) concentration (0.5–100 μmol/L) increased in CDs/4-NP, and the limit of detection was 0.16 μmol/L. The sensor showed good selectivity and demonstrated high accuracy for the analysis of 4-nitrophenol and cerium(IV) in actual water samples.

Chalcogenide Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) is a promising absorber material for photovoltaic applications. When CZTSSe thin film is deposited on an Mo substrate, a Mo(S,Se) 2 layer easily forms between the CZTSSe and the Mo, which is detrimental to the back contact property of the CZTSSe. This work proposes a useful way to inhibit the formation of Mo(S,Se) 2 by sputtering a CuCrO 2 layer on a Mo-foil substrate before the deposition of the CZTSSe. The effects of CuCrO 2 thickness on the crystalline structures, morphologies, and electrical properties of the fabricated samples were studied. The results showed that the insertion of the CuCrO 2 layer prevented the formation of Mo(S,Se) 2 . As the thickness of the CuCrO 2 increased, the thickness of the Mo(S,Se) 2 layer decreased. The Mo(S,Se) 2 layer was absent from the cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy image when the CuCrO 2 thickness exceeded 85 nm. The back contact resistance of CZTSSe decreased monotonously as the CuCrO 2 layer thickened due to the reduction in the Mo(S,Se) 2 layer thickness. Therefore, by inserting a CuCrO 2 layer to separate the CZTSSe and the Mo-foil, the formation of the Mo(S,Se) 2 layer between them was effectively suppressed, and the back contact properties of the CZTSSe thin film were significantly enhanced.

Environmentally benign and earth-abundant constituent’s kieserite Cu 2 ZnSn (S, Se) 4 (Cotises) is considered as a hopeful photovoltaic material. Unfortunately, the severe tail state caused by various harmful deep defects in CZTSSe absorber prevents further development of its device efficiency. Here, we report firstly that the Co was incorporated into CZTSSe films to form the Cu 2 Co x Zn 1-x Sn (S, Se) 4 (CCZTSSe) films using a two-step annealing and solution-processing technique method. Through optimized the Co/(Co+Zn) ratio, the CCZTSSe film has excellent good surface morphology and single-phase composition. Appropriate amount of Co elements replacing Zn elements in CZTSSe films can effectively reduce the degree of Cu-Zn disorder, thus inhibiting [2Cu Zn +Sn Zn ] defect clusters and Cu Zn defects. The detrimental deep defects located in the film were effectively passivated to reduce electrostatic potential fluctuations, resulting in relief of the trailing state. Therefore, a champion device having an efficiency of 7.50 % with a fill factor (FF) of 61.00 % was achieved from CCZTSSe with 3 % Co content. This work provides new insights into the impacts of Co doping in CZTSSe by a solution processed method and offers a deeper comprehension of the origin of the efficiency enhancement of CCZTSSe devices.

The reasonable control of the dispersion of noble metals is an important topic for heterogeneous catalysts. In this manuscript, PdCu/C, AuCu/C and PdAuCu/C were prepared by the galvanic reduction method to ensure that Pd and Au follow the distribution of Cu nanoparticles. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive spectrometer elemental mappings and lines scans. Both the Pd and Au had very high dispersion no matter whether they were introduced individually or simultaneously. The Pd and Au were distributed mainly on the Cu nanoparticles as evidenced by the energy-dispersive spectrometer elemental mappings and lines scans. The reduction of 4-nitrophenol was used as a model reaction for the prepared catalysts. PdCu/C and AuCu/C showed high activity for this reaction compared to the literature, and the activity could be further increased by the introduction of Pd and Au in an appropriate ratio at the same time. The normalized reaction rate reached 2.005 s −1 mM −1 for the PdAuCu/C-2.0, in which the mole ratio of Pd to Au was 2.0.

4-Carboxy-benzoboroxole was designed and synthesized. It was then combined with the modification effect of polyethyleneimine (PEI) for the preparation of boronate affinity silica stationary phase. The stationary phase showed improved binding strength with dissociation constant ( K d ) towards xanthosine as low as 2.48 × 10 −4 M. The column showed excellent selectivity , high binding capacities (88.3 μmol adenosine g −1 , pH 7.0) and the lowest binding pH (4.0 for cytidine and as low as 2.24 for xanthosine). These binding properties were superior to the existing boronate affinity materials, facilitating the selective extraction of trace cis -diol compounds in complex samples and greatly expanding the application scope of boronate affinity chromatography . In addition, the column showed secondary separation capability under acidic conditions and this secondary separation capability was investigated thoroughly. It was found that the separation was pH-dependent and mainly determined by binding strength with the possibility of involvement of other interaction, providing alternative strategy for the separation of cis -diol compounds. The feasibility and practicability were demonstrated through the selective enrichment of nucleosides in urine samples and the results indicated the excellent performance and great potential for the extraction of trace cis -diol compounds in complex samples.

In this study, 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) was firstly used as a catalyst in the interfacial polymerization of pentaerythritol (PE) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) to enhance membrane performance. A series of nanofiltration membranes were prepared using five different DMAP concentrations of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% (mass percentage accounting for PE). The filtration test results demonstrated that the water permeability of the typical PE-4 (40% DMAP addition) was 3.47-fold higher than that of the PE-0 (no DMAP addition) with no significant salt rejection loss, indicating that DMAP could effectively improve the water permeability. Characterization by SEM, AFM , and ATR-FTIR indicated that DMAP facilitated the reaction of PE and TMC, which resulted in polyester forming on the surface of the substrate membrane, rather than blocking the membrane pore. Moreover, the PE-DMAP-TMC TFC membrane displayed excellent dye separation performance and high antifouling ability.

A pure barium borate of BaB 8 O 11 (OH) 4 ·3H 2 O has been synthesized and characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TGA, and chemical analysis. The molar enthalpies of solution of BaB 8 O 11 (OH) 4 ·3H 2 O in 1 mol dm −3 HCl(aq), and Ba(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O in the mixture solvent of {2.00 cm 3 of 1 mol·dm −3 HCl + H 3 BO 3 (aq)} were measured by microcalorimeter at T = 298.15 K, respectively. With the use of previously determined enthalpy of solution of H 3 BO 3 (s) in 1 mol·dm −3 HCl(aq), and the standard molar enthalpies of formation for Ba(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O(s), H 3 BO 3 (s), and H 2 O(l), the standard molar enthalpy of formation of −(7500.6 ± 6.5) kJ·mol −1 at T = 298.15 K was obtained based on an appropriate thermochemical cycle. Moreover, the molar enthalpy of formation of −6091.7 kJ mol −1 for [B 8 O 11 (OH) 4 ] 2− was estimated by a group contribution method, which was used to predict the Δ f H m o of a series of alkaline-earth metal borates for MB 8 O 11 (OH) 4 (M = Ca, Sr, Ba).

MCM-48 mesoporous microspheres (M48N) with a pore size of 3.77 nm, an ultra-high surface area of 1250.77 m2 g−1 and a super-large pore volume of 1.52 cm3 g−1 were synthesized. The M48N microspheres were then modified with Pd, Pt and Ru nanoparticles using an incipient wetness impregnation technique. The modified M48N microspheres were investigated to determine their catalytic effect in the aqueous phase hydro-dechlorination (HDC) of 4-chlorophenol. The Pd–M48N, Pt–M48N and Ru–M48N catalysts were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption–desorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The HDC experiments were performed using the fairly mild conditions of room temperature and an atmospheric pressure of H2. Pd–M48N showed a higher catalytic performance than Pt–M48N and Ru–M48N and various other Pd-based catalysts. The high catalytic performance of Pd–M48N resulted from the ultra-high surface area, super-large pore volume and unique pore structure of the M48N, which improved the mass transfer and increased the rate of adsorption–desorption of the compounds. This method has potential applications in the treatment of industrial wastewaters contaminated with chlorinated organic compounds.

A highly stable copper nanoclusters (CuNC) carrying 4-chlorothiophenol as a protective ligand is described. They display self-assembly-induced emission with excitation/emission maxima at 330/605 nm even in neutral or alkaline aqueous environment. The fluorescence of these CuNC is quenched by Hg(II). Quenching is mainly ascribed to the formation of a complex formed via Hg-S bonding between the Hg(II) ions and the ligand. This destroys the ordered architectures of the assembled CuNC. The assay enables Hg(II) to be determined with good sensitivity and a linear response ranging from 1 to 500 nM Hg(II) with a 0.3 nM limit of detection. In addition, the method was implemented in a test strip (which undergoes a color change from red to blue) that can be used for visual determination of Hg(II) in complex environmental water samples.
Novel and highly selective fluorimetric and colorimetric methods have been designed for mercury(II) ions determination based on stable self-assembly-induced emission of copper nanoclusters.
