A thiol-labeled adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding aptamer is covalently linked on the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). This warrants protection of the red AuNPs from aggregation in high salt condition. The dispersed AuNPs can quench the fluorescence of the Tb(III)-MOFs at 547 nm with the excitation wavelength of 290 nm. This is ascribed to the combined action of inner filter effect, dynamic quenching and fluorescence resonance energy transfer. If the aptamer binds ATP to form folded structures, the AuNPs aggregate in high salt medium and the green fluorescence of the Tb(III)-MOFs is recovered. This method shows good sensitivity and selectivity for ATP, and the linear range is from 0.5 to 10 μM of ATP with the detection limitat of 0.32 μM. It was applied to the determination of ATP in (spiked) human plasma with satisfactory recoveries (from 93.2% to 106.3%). Oppositely, when the unlabeled aptamer is used instead of thiol-labeled aptamer in this process, the ATP-aptamer complexes rather than unlabeled aptamer provide greater protection for AuNPs against salt-induced aggregation. It is found that when the aptamer covalently binds to AuNPs, the steric hindrance is dominant for the stabilization of AuNPs; for unlabeled aptamer, the electrostatic repulsion is responsible for their stability, irrespective of whether ATP is present or not. These two different forces lead to the aggregation or dispersion of AuNPs with addition of target in salt solution.
The impact of two repulsive forces (electrostatic repulsion and steric repulsion) on the stabilization of gold nanoparticles, and its application in fluorescent terbium metal-organic frameworks as a nanoprobe for adenosine triphosphate.

A photocathode is described for the determination of microRNA-21 by using CuInS 2 as an active photocathode material. Exonuclease III assisted target recycling amplification was employed to enhance the detection sensitivity. The TATA-binding protein (TBP) was applied to enhance steric hindrance which decreases the photoelectrochemical intensity. This strategy is designed by combining the anti-interference photocathode material, enzyme assisted target recycling amplification and TBP induced signal off, showing remarkable amplification efficiency. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limit for microRNA-21 is as low as 0.47 fM, and a linear range was got from 1.0 × 10 −15 M to 1.0 × 10 −6 M.

Functionalization of graphene oxide (GO) with octavinyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OvPOSS) is achieved by gamma-ray radiation-induced grafting under mild conditions. The grafting yield of OvPOSS-grafted GO (GOP), calculated by the content of silicon in GOP using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, increases gradually with the increase in the absorbed dose. The grafting of OvPOSS onto GO not only improves its thermal stability, but also increases its distance between the adjacent graphitic layers which could improve the reactivity of GO. In contrary to the hydrophobic GOP prepared via the traditional chemical method, it dramatically becomes more hydrophilic with the increase in the absorbed dose due to the introduction of nitrogen-containing group under irradiation, and the surface of GOP becomes super-hydrophilic at an absorbed dose of 50 kGy. Furthermore, GOP still has excellent electrical insulation property due to the grafting of insulated OvPOSS. Consequently, this work paves a feasible and green way for the functionalization of GO with improved performances.

A molecularly imprinted polymer photoelectrochemical (MIP-PEC) sensor based on bismuth sulfide (Bi 2 S 3 ) is described for the determination of the plasticizer dioctyl phthalate (DOP). Bi 2 S 3 was used as the photoelectrical converter of the sensor, and visible light was utilized as the excitation source. The molecular imprinting film was prepared through the electropolymerization of monomers in the presence of DOP. Under optimal experimental conditions, the photoelectrochemical response was linearly proportional to the logarithm of the DOP concentration in the 0.5–70 pM DOP concentration range, and the detection limit was 0.1 pM. The method is highly stable and reproducible. It was applied to the determination of DOP in spiked water samples.
A novel molecularly imprinted photoelectrochemical sensor with high sensitivity and high selectivity based on Bi 2 S 3 was developed for dioctyl phthalate detection. Bi 2 S 3 was firstly used as a photoelectric converter in photoelectrochemical sensor to improve the sensitivity of the sensor. Combining photocurrent measurement with molecular imprinting technique makes the sensor highly selective.

Li–O 2 batteries have received considerable attention owing to their high theoretical gravimetric energy densities. However, the sluggish kinetic barrier between gaseous O 2 and solid products leads to severe polarized overpotenial. Besides, the gas-open cell architecture and cumbrous O 2 storage accessories bring additional burdens on practical application. Here, by pre-embedding Li 2 O nanoparticles into an iridium–graphene catalytic host, we confine the O 2 -free reversible Li 2 O/Li 2 O 2 interconversion within a sealed cell environment. After rationally controlling the depth of charge, the O 2 /superoxo-free charge capacity can be extended to 400 mAh g –1 (based on the entire cathodic loading mass), with only 0.12 V round-trip overpotential. Ultrastable rechargeability can be achieved for over 2,000 cycles with 99.5% coulombic efficiency. Moreover, matched with a silicon anode, the full-cell output gravimetric energy density can reach nearly 600 Wh kg –1 (based on the loading mass of both electrodes). This work shows that reversible oxide–peroxide conversion can be utilized for the development of high-energy-density sealed battery technologies.

A hybrid organic–inorganic sol–gel coating was prepared on the surface of cast aluminum–silicon (Al–Si) alloy via dip coating method to improve the anticorrosion ability. In the present work, bis(triethoxysilyl) ethane (BTSE) and 3-glycidoxypropyl-trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) were employed as the precursors to prepare hybrid sol–gel (BG) coating. Nano titanium dioxide (nano-TiO 2 ) was introduced to improve the corrosion resistance of the coating. The microstructures of the BG/nano-TiO 2 (BG-T) coating was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The results showed that there was a chemical reaction between nano-TiO 2 and BG coating and a complete defect-free coating formed on the surface of Al–Si alloy. Moreover, there were a few only minor cracks appeared on the surface of BG-T coating after 15 days immersion in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. The corrosion resistant performances of the coatings were evaluated by the electrochemical tests. The results showed that the nano-TiO 2 particles elevated the corrosion potential and depressed the corrosion current, thereby improved the corrosion resistance. The long-term immersion tests of BG and BG-T coating further showed that the BG-T coating possesses an excellent long-term stability for corrosion protection.

Solid-state cable-type supercapacitors (SSCTSs) have a wide application in wearable and flexible electronic devices. The fiber-shaped electrode of fabricating TiO 2 nanowire arrays (NWAs) on Ti wire is widly used in flexible electronic devices. For improving the conductivity, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets are prepared on the surface of TiO 2 NWAs by a simple electrophoretic deposition method and NaBH 4 treatment. The electrochemical tests reveal that this TiO 2 /rGO electrode has an excellent capacitive property than pure TiO 2 electrode in the optimum potential window (− 0.4~0.6 V). Two similar TiO 2 /rGO electrodes with Poly (vinyl alcohol)-LiCl solid-state electrolyte are assembled SSCTSs, which deliver a specific capacitance as high as 60.8 μF cm −1 at 5 μA cm −1 and a high energy density of 12.2 mWh cm −1 with a wide potential window from 0 to 1.2 V. Furthermore, this SSCTS exhibits outstanding banding performance at different state and long cycle life. These results demonstrate that fiber-shaped TiO 2 /rGO electrode is promising for high-performance wearable and flexible electronic devices.

A novel soluble poly(aryl ether ketone) (PAEK) terminated with 4-nitrophthalonitrile was designed and synthesized, which was used to solve the problem of difficult solution processing. Then, a series of cross-linked PAEK films with different thermal treatment temperatures were fabricated by using 4,4-bis(3,4-dicyanophenoxy)biphenyl (BPH) as a novel cross-linking agent, improving the glass transition temperature ( T g ) of the traditional PAEK. Then, the fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrum, X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), mechanical testing machine and LCR meter were used to investigate the microstructure, thermal, mechanical and dielectric properties of PAEK films, respectively. The results indicated that the increase in heat-treatment time and temperature are beneficial for the improvement of the value of T g and T 5% , and the excellent thermal stability and mechanical properties of PAEK films are demonstrated. Compared to PAEK-1 film, the T g and T 5% both increased by 63 °C for PAEK-4 film. Significantly, the tensile strength of PAEK-3 film (42 MPa) reaches the highest value in comparison with other samples. In addition, the dielectric constants (ε) and loss tangent (tan δ) of PAEK-4 film is as low as 3.67 and 0.001 at 1 kHz, respectively. More importantly, the dielectric properties are found to be relatively stable to near the T g value, which can be widely used for applications in dielectric energy storage at high temperatures.

In this paper, a precast solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film strategy was explored for Li metal anode with longer cycling life. At the current density of 0.5 mA cm −2 for 0.5 mAh cm −2 of Li, electrochemical performance tests showed that the half cell with optimized precast SEI film had a coulombic efficiency of more than 99.0% after 620 cycles. Cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectrum, mechanical properties, ionic conductivity, scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, etc., were used to analyze the performance of SEI film. The results showed that when 0.04 mol of lithium bis(oxalato)borate was added into 7.0 g of the poly(vinylidene fluoride- co -hexafluoropropylene) matrix as the components of SEI film, the half cell with the precast SEI film showed the best cycling performance. When different kinds of lithium salts were added into the matrix, the morphology and property after curing were different, which affected the tensile strength, elongation, ionic conductivity, electrolyte absorption rate, and thermal decomposition temperature. Moreover, it had also been found that the strength and ionic conductivity were the main factors in determining the performance of the precast SEI film.

Abstract A bio-based P–N synergistic flame retardant ammonium salt of d -Panthenol-tri (methylphosphonic acid) (ADPTMPA) was synthesized using a formaldehyde-free and solvent-free strategy for the highly efficient preparation of durable flame-retardant cotton. The ADPTMPA structure was verified by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR and 31 P NMR. FT-IR test revealed successful grafting of the flame retardant onto the cotton through P–O–C covalent bonding. The morphologies and structures of pure cotton and treated cotton were characterized by SEM and XRD, and the elemental compositions of cotton samples were analyzed by EDX. Volatile pyrolysis products of treated cotton were analyzed by TG-IR. Flame retardancy and washability of treated cotton were analyzed by limiting oxygen index (LOI) and vertical flammability tests (VFT). The LOIs of 40 wt% ADPTMPA treated cotton before and after 50 laundering cycles was determined as 46.5% and 35.8%, respectively. VFT showed the treated cotton exhibited no smoldering and continuous burning. All carbon lengths of treated cottons were less than 60 mm. The heat release rate and total heat release of treated cotton were decreased by 91.34% and 58.01% compared with pure cotton, respectively. There was 29.42 wt% carbon residual remaining when the treated cotton was exposed to heat flow of 35 kw/m 2 . The treated cotton exhibited excellent flame retardancy and washability. Additionally, the mechanical properties and whiteness of the treated cotton were well-maintained. Graphic abstract

The accelerating rate calorimetry is a powerful tool for thermal hazard evaluation. However, the existing kinetics approaches ignore the fact that the thermal inertia is varying during the pseudo-adiabatic reaction because of the changing of the sample’s heat capacity and heat loss. To overcome this shortcoming, the expression of the thermal inertia is amended based on the heat balance and transfer in this article. The arithmetic product of the sample’s heat capacity and the amended thermal inertia is obtained by merging the kinetic results of the DSC and ARC data. Then, the data from the ARC are corrected and the more reasonable values of the kinetic parameters are computed based on the varying thermal inertia consideration. With the typical n -order and autocatalytic decomposition experiments under the different sample masses, the validity of the proposed kinetic approach is verified. Meanwhile, the hypotheses of the proposed approach are analyzed and discussed in the end of the article.
