A novel magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MMIPs) with a new functional monomer Triallyl isocyanurate was synthesized successfully to enrich and detect sterigmatocystin (STG) in wheat samples. The differential UV–vis spectra and the reverse prediction method were selected to achieve the optimal synthesis conditions of the MMIPs, which were characterized well. The adsorption experiment showed that MMIPs have high selectivity and sensitivity. A magnetic solid phase extraction combined with high performance liquid chromatography (MSPE-HPLC) method based on the MMIPs was successfully established with the optimal extraction condition. The linear range and RSD were 1.8–25 ng·g −1 and 2.6–4.1%, respectively. The recovery of this method was 87.6–96.9% and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.63 ng·g −1 . The excellent sensitivity and selectivity of this method were confirmed by experiment of the extraction and detection of STG in wheat extracts. This work extends the use of molecular imprinting in mycotoxins applications.

Methylene blue (MB) is a dye pollutant commonly present in textile wastewater. We investigate and critically evaluate the applicability of BaTiO 3 /GO composite for photodegradation of MB in synthetic wastewater under UV–vis irradiation. To enhance its performance, the BaTiO 3 /GO composite is varied based on the BaTiO 3 weight. To compare and evaluate any changes in their morphologies and crystalline structures before and after treatment, BET (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller), XRD (X-ray diffraction), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and TEM (transmission electron microscopy) tests are conducted, while the effects of reaction time, pH, dose of photocatalyst and initial MB concentration on its photodegradation by the composite are also investigated under identical conditions. The degradation pathways and removal mechanisms of MB by the BaTiO 3 /GO are elaborated. It is evident from this study that the BaTiO 3 /GO composite is promising for MB photodegradation through ·OH. Under optimized conditions (0.5 g/L of dose, pH 9.0, and 5 mg/L of MB concentration), the composite with 1:2 dose ratio of BaTiO 3 /GO has the highest MB degradation rate (95%) after 3 h of UV vis irradiation. However, its treated effluents still could not comply with the discharge standard limit of less than 0.2 mg/L imposed by national environmental legislation. This suggests that additional biological treatments are still required to deal with the remaining oxidation by-products of MB, still present in the wastewater samples such as 3,7-bis (dimethyl-amino)-10H-phenothiazine 5-oxide.

The development of ultraviolet to near-infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) responsive photocatalysts offers a unique opportunity for the full use of solar energy to solve the energy and the environmental problems. Here, successful preparation of a three-dimensional (3D) porous photocatalyst of graphitic carbon nitride quantum dot (CNQDs) modified g-C 3 N 4 /graphene oxide composite aerogel (CNGO/CNQDs) via hydrothermal and vacuum injection method was reported. In this unique ternary 3D photocatalyst, graphene oxide could improve the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes and promote the charge separation, while the aerogel's 3D network structure provided a rich active site. Simultaneously, due to the appropriate up-conversion performance of the nitrogen carbide quantum dots, CNGO/CNQDs achieved a light response from ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR). These properties endow it with a good photocatalytic performance. The hydrogen production efficiency of CNGO/CNQDs reached 1231 μmol h −1 , which was 16 times more than that of matrix material . In addition, the apparent quantum yields (AQY) of CNGO/CNQDs at wavelengths of 420 nm and 700 nm were 13% and 0.116%, respectively.

UV absorbers are very effective in the fields of antiyellowing, resistance of photocatalytic degradation, and sunscreen cosmetics. However, commercialized UV absorbers have the drawbacks of toxicity, low absorption efficiency, transparency, etc. Here, we report for the first time silicon quantum dots as full-band UV absorbers. The NH-refunctionalized silicon quantum dots with high-performance UV absorption were successfully synthesized under the synergistic effect of sodium citrate and ethanediamine, and the (NH, OH)-functionalized silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) with full-band UV absorption can be achieved by reregulating −NH2 and −OH groups on the surface. The as-prepared (NH, OH)-functionalized SiQDs exhibited good stability and underwent treatment of varying pH and temperature. Furthermore, experimental results demonstrated that compared to commercial water-soluble organic UV absorbers, the (NH, OH)-functionalized SiQDs showed better antiyellowing performance for polyurethane and resistance of photocatalytic degradation for rhodamine B, and presented huge application potential in sunscreen cosmetics. Finally, the UV absorption mechanism of SiQDs was explained to be mainly related to Γ → Γ direct band gap transition, which absorb UV light and release it as thermal radiation.

A novel colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescence sensor was constructed by using carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and o-diaminobenzene (ODB). Unlike ODB by itself, ODB oxide (oxODB) not only emits fluorescence, but also produces ultraviolet (UV) absorption. Therefore, on the basis of the potential optical properties of ODB, glucose oxidase (Gox) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were introduced into a CQDs–ODB system for the quantitative oxidation of ODB. When glucose is present, it is oxidized by oxygen under the catalytic action of its oxidase to form hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidant that can rapidly oxidize ODB through the catalysis of horseradish peroxidase. oxODB can cause changes in the fluorescence ratio (I550/I446) and absorbance ratio (A/A0). At the same time, the color of the detection solution can also change under sunlight and ultraviolet lamps. Therefore, glucose can be quantitatively detected by ratiometric fluorescence and colorimetry simultaneously, and semi-quantitatively detected by observing the colors with sunlight and ultraviolet lamps of 365 nm. This increases not only the convenience but also the accuracy of detection. In addition, this sensor has good selectivity and can be used for the determination of glucose in serum, providing a new idea for the development of blood glucose sensors.Keywords:dual-mode sensor;carbon quantum dots;o-diaminobenzene;glucose

Pre-chlorination and UV disinfection are two common processes in drinking water treatment plants. Sulfamethoxazole (SMX), an antibiotic widely detected in source water, was selected as a precursor to study the conversion of chlorine/nitrogen species and DBP formation in pre-chlorination/post-UV process. The combined chlorine (mainly organic chloramines) produced in pre-chlorination of SMX can self-degrade and release free chlorine back again as pre-chlorination time goes on. With free chlorine dose increasing, the self-degradation rate of combined chlorine increased obviously. But the combined chlorine stopped self-degrading and remained stable around 1 mg-Cl 2 /L after adding 0.30 mM chlorine for 30 min. Post-UV treatment after pre-chlorination can enhance the degradation and achieve a complete removal of combined chlorine (including organic chloramines). Deamination occurred during pre-chlorination/post-UV process and deamination amount (-NH 2 ) per SMX concentration was 0.19 M/M. Radicals in this process had no obvious influence on chlorine/nitrogen species conversion. Direct chlorination of SMX had the lowest DBP formation potentials while the application of pre-chlorination and UV enhanced them. Compared with UV treatment only, dichloroacetonitrile formation potential of SMX reduced by 1.58 × 10 −3 mol/mol-SMX (17.37 μg/l) after pre-chlorination/post-UV treatment. During pre-chlorination/post-UV/final-chlorination treatment of SMX, Br − and natural organic matter can enhance DBP formation and toxicity-weighted values. Acid conditions showed a very high DBP risk, while alkaline conditions could cut this risk obviously, especially for the toxicity-weighted values of these DBPs.

Nowadays, halogen-free high flame retardance of rigid polyurethane (RPU) foam without deteriorating its intrinsic performances is still a great challenge. Here, a green surface flame-retardant (SFR) strategy of RPU foam was proposed. In detail, a new halogen-free UV-curable self-extinguished coating was developed and then combined onto the surface of RPU, obtaining a surface flame-retardant RPU foam system (SFR-RPU). The SFR-RPU foams exhibit highly-efficient flame retardancy at a coating thickness of 25 µm, showing a fast self-extinguishing behavior. A compact porous char layer served as a good barrier can be rapidly formed on the surface of SFR-RPU. The detailed flame-retardant mechanism was proposed. Furthermore, when compared to neat RPU, the compressive strength of SFR-RPU foams is enhanced and the heat-insulation property is maintained perfectly. This facile, low-cost and environmental-friendly post-treatment of RPU foam could expand its fire safe commercial applications.

The design and preparation of novel liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are highly desirable for the development of smart soft materials with quick stimuli-responsive characteristics. In this work, we present a facile preparation strategy of near infrared (NIR)-responsive gold nanorod/liquid crystalline elastomer (GNR/LCE) composite films exhibiting fascinating re-shapeable and reusable properties. A random side-chain liquid crystalline copolymer containing biphenyl mesogens and cinnamate side groups has been prepared via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), with the [2+2] (retro)cycloaddition of cinnamate groups triggered by various wavelength UV light serving as the reversible dynamic crosslinks for the construction of re-shapeable LCEs. The GNR/LCE composite films with uniformly doped monodisperse GNRs demonstrate remarkable photothermal effects and multi-mode NIR-driven macroscopic deformation capabilities. Furthermore, a single-layer dual-phase composite film composed of periodic micro-patterned monodomain (M) and polydomain (P) structures has been fabricated, which is promising for precise localized NIR-responsive actuation and fully photo-controlled LCE composite devices.

This study compared the degradation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) by UV/chlorine advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) with emerging ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV-LED, 275 nm) and traditional low pressure UV (LPUV, 254 nm) as UV sources. Excitation emission matrix-parallel factor (EEM-PARAFAC) analysis and two-dimensional (2D) correlation gel permeation chromatograph were applied to explore the evolutions of DOM during oxidation processes. The degradation behaviors of DOM indicated by UV absorbance at 254 nm (UV 254 ), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and fluorophores fitted the pseudo-first-order kinetics well. The removal efficiency of DOM was similar under UV-LED and LPUV irradiation alone. However, UV-LED exhibited much higher degradation rates (increased by 29–160%) than LPUV regardless of the tracking variables during UV/chlorine processes. For three PARAFAC components, humic-like fluorescences were preferentially degraded by UV/chlorine oxidation compared with protein-like fluorescence potentially due to the differences of electronic moieties and molecular weight (MW). The decline in UV 254 , DOC, and fluorophores increased with increasing chlorine dosage; linear correlations between those indicators were observed during the two AOPs. Moreover, UV-LED/chlorine could achieve greater extents of MW change. Our study demonstrated that UV-LED could be a superior alternative for the future selection of UV source in the UV/chlorine process.

A novel series of quadruple responsive copolymers, poly(ethylene glycol)- ss -[poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate)- co -poly(2-nitrobenzyl methacrylate)] [PEG- ss -(PDMAEMA- co -PNBM)], were synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization mediated by home-made PEG-based macro-initiator labeled with disulfides. The obtained copolymers could self-assemble in aqueous solution forming micelles with the disulfide bridge linking the hydrophilic coronas (PEG) and the hydrophobic cores (PDMAEMA- co -PNBM). Investigation on the resulted micelles indicated that the micelles could respond to various stimuli, that is, temperature, pH, the presence of dithiothreitol (DTT), and UV irradiation. Moreover, the responsive behavior of the micelles depends on the type of stimuli, that is, temperature change causes size change of the micelles, while UV irradiation leads to dissolution of the self-assembled structures. Such stimulus-dependent responsive behavior could be applied in smart materials that deal with multi-tasks or in the construction of complex logic gate. The potential application of the multi-responsive micelles in cargo release system was also evaluated using Nile Red (NR) as model molecule. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Titanium oxide (TiO 2 ) has been widely investigated as a photocatalytic material for degradation of organic pollutant in waste water. However, nanosized granular TiO 2 nanoparticles are hard to be recycled and re-utilized in water and many cause secondary pollution of water. Hence, we constructed a foam-like photocatalyst, which was composed of carbonaceous support: activated carbon nanotube foams and Ag-doped TiO 2 nanoparticles through a method of a template synthesis and carbonization strategy. The as-prepared photocatalyst evidenced to be hierarchical macroporous and mesoporous and exhibited remarkable photocatalytic performance toward the degradation of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine under UV and visible light. The structure characterization and photocatalytic performance investigation confirmed that the enhanced photoresponse was attributed to the high efficiency of charge separation and the surface plasmon resonance effect of metallic Ag. The adsorption synergetic effect of the hierarchical porous structure also played an important role in photodegradation. The as-prepared photocatalyst showed great potential in the treatment of waste water containing organic pollutant.

The response of Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo ( D. officinale ) to continuous UV-B irradiation at different carbon to nitrogen ratios (C/N ratios) was investigated. Seedlings grown for 60 days were incubated under aseptic conditions with UV-B irradiation (15.6 µW cm −2 ) at different C/N ratios: control group (CK; C/N 30 without UV-B), UV-B + CK (C/N 30 with UV-B irradiation, similarly hereafter), UV-B + C/N 120, UV-B + C/N 60, UV-B + C/N 15, UV-B + C/N 10, UV-B + C/N 7.5. Growth parameters (the defoliation rate and the sprout number), photosynthetic pigments (carotenoids, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b), total polysaccharides, total alkaloids, and activities of antioxidant enzymes were determined following 4, 8, 12, and 16 days of continuous UV-B exposure. Results indicated that UV-B irradiation increased the defoliation rate and the content of carotenoids, total polysaccharides and total alkaloids, as well as the activities of antioxidant enzymes. Conversely, UV-B irradiation reduced the sprout number and chlorophyll content in D. officinale . Compared with UV-B + CK, lower C/N ratio treatments (UV-B + C/N 15, UV-B + C/N 10 and UV-B + C/N 7.5) enhanced the defoliation rate and sprout number, but decreased antioxidant enzyme activities and total polysaccharide content during the whole period, and reduced total alkaloid content after 4 days of UV-B exposure. Following initial UV-B irradiation, lower C/N ratios increased the contents of carotenoid and chlorophyll b, while after 8 days, a reversal in carotenoid content was observed, and after 12 days, a reversal in chlorophyll b content was observed. Optimizing the C/N ratio (C/N 60) resulted in lower defoliation rate, higher photosynthetic pigments and total polysaccharides, and increased activities of antioxidant enzymes, whereas no significant change in sprout number and total alkaloid content was recorded under long-term UV-B irradiation. Furthermore, the UV-B + C/N 120 treatment negatively affected D. officinale in terms of an increased defoliation rate and reduced sprout number, photosynthetic pigments, and total alkaloids. Therefore, results suggested that an appropriate C/N ratio (C/N 60) could ameliorate the adverse effects of continuous UV-B irradiation on D. officinale .
