This study focused on the structural differences of lignin after pyridine–acetic acid–water (PAW) and dioxane–acidic water (DAW) purification processes. These structural differences included the S/G ratio, condensed structure, weight-average (MW) molecular weights, β-O-4 linkages and sugar content. The chemical structure of the isolated crude lignin (CL), PAW purified lignin (PPL) and DAW purified lignin (DPL) was elucidated using quantitative13C NMR, 2D-HSQC NMR spectra, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed that the PPL fractions contain fewer condensed structures, higher S/G ratios, more β-O-4 linkages, higher average MWand lower thermal degradation properties compared to the CL and DPL fractions. Furthermore, the PAW process was more selective in removing condensed units and enriching S-type lignin from CL compared to the DAW process. These results provide valuable information for understanding which purification process is more suitable to be applied for lignin.Keywords:lignin purification;structural recognition;condensed lignin;S/G ratio

Transition metal selenides (TMS) have been used to prepare hundreds of electrode materials for ion batteries due to their superior theoretical capacity, but have been repeatedly limited by the sluggish reaction kinetics and the enormous volume change during the repeated charge/discharge process. Here, we report a facile strategy to fabricate organic–inorganic composites by engineering a unique chemical bonding interface between TMS and conductive polymers. For the first time, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is utilized to encapsulate iron diselenide (FeSe 2 ) nanoparticles by in situ polymerization, and the Fe-S bonds are meanwhile formed at the interface of FeSe 2 and PEDOT. The experimental analysis demonstrates the stability of Fe-S bonds during the sodiation/desodiation process and after long cycling, which can serve as a “bridge” for fast charge transfer and also serve as a “rivet” to stabilize the composite structure. When used for sodium ion storage, the composite offers an exceptionally long lifetime of up to 17,000 loops at 10 A/g without capacity degradation. In addition, it delivers a high specific capacity of 490.4 mAh/g and retains 60 % when the current density is amplified 150 times. The assembled full cell also exhibits excellent cycling stability. This work will provide a feasible way to improve the metal oxide/sulfide/selenides for long-life ion batteries.

For the important applications of gas identification related to specific diseases in healthcare, flexible gas sensors have attracted more attention. Among them, two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDs) have been known as good promising flexible gas-sensitive materials. While how to tightly attach 2D materials on flexible substrates is still challenging. Here, we propose an enhanced room-temperature flexible paper-substrate sensors based on 2D tungsten disulfide (WS 2 ) with S defects, which are facilely synthesized by chemical exfoliation and vacuum filtration method. Structure characterization shows that most of the as-prepared 2D WS 2 are within 3 layers. Spectroscopic characterization proves the existence of S defects on the surface of 2D WS 2 produced by chemical exfoliation. The room-temperature (25 °C) NH 3 gas sensitivity results show that the response intensity of 2D WS 2 with rich S defects is nearly three times higher than the highly crystalline 2D WS 2 . The results of the flexible gas sensitivity indicate the fast response and high stability of our devices in breathing detection and bending experiments. Furthermore, the devices can effectively distinguish bending stress changes and gas-sensitive response signals at the same time, realizing multifunctional sensing detection. Our work will be a reference for fabricating flexible sensors based on 2D materials.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely produced chemical that is mainly used as raw material for manufacturing plastic products. It is an endocrine disruptor and causes irreversible damage to the human body. Bisphenol S (BPS), an alternative to BPA, has low dose effects on toxicology and genotoxicity. Herein, we constructed a highly porous crystalline covalent organic framework (COF, CTpPa-2)-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the electrochemical sensing of BPA and BPS. The electrochemical properties of the CTpPa-2/GCE were characterized using galvanostatic charge-discharge, cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The CTpPa-2/GCE exhibited remarkable electrocatalytic activity, and the electrochemical responses for BPA and BPS were found to be linear in the concentration ranges of 0.1–50 μM and 0.5–50 μM with detection limits of 0.02 μM and 0.09 μM (S/N = 3), respectively. Moreover, the fabricated sensor was utilized to determine BPA and BPS in bottle samples with recoveries of 87.0%–92.2% and migration rates of 13.2%–28.0%.

Step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunctions can efficiently promote the separation of photogenerated carriers while maintaining the strong oxidation/reduction ability of photocatalysts; thus, research attention on S-scheme heterojunctions is increasing year by year. In this study, the S-scheme ZnO@ZnIn 2 S 4 (ZnO@ZIS) heterojunction was prepared successfully. Then, electron spin resonance (ESR) characterization was applied to prove the successful construction of the S-scheme heterojunction. Photoluminescence (PL), time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL), and photoelectrochemical experiments have demonstrated efficient interfacial charge transport in ZnO@ZIS. Finally, the mechanism of CO 2 activation and electron transport was investigated by in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and discrete Fourier transform (DFT) calculation analysis. The 40-ZnO@ZIS composite showed the best activity under light, and its CO and CH 4 yields reached 39.76 and 3.92 μmol∙g −1 ∙h −1 , respectively. This study provides a solution for optimizing the photocatalytic reduction activity of semiconductor photocatalysts by constructing S-scheme heterojunction materials to improve the CO 2 reduction capacity.

Efficient interfacial charge transfer and robust interface interactions are crucial to achieve superior spatial separation of carriers and develop advanced heterogeneous photocatalysts . This study describes the synthesis of a novel S-scheme heterojunction of ZnO/In 2 S 3 , with S−O covalent bonds , achieved through a hydrothermal method . The optimized heterojunction shows exceptional photocatalytic activity , achieving a H 2 generation rate of 2488 μmol g −1 h −1 and a degradation efficiency of 86 % for tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) within 2 h. These values surpass those of In 2 S 3 alone by 35 and 1.4 times, respectively. Various techniques, including electron spin resonance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Kelvin probe force microscopy and density functional theory calculations confirm the S-scheme heterojunction. The establishment of a chemical S−O bond between In 2 S 3 and ZnO facilitates an atomic level interfacial pathway, enabling efficient transportation of interfacial electrons.

The upsurge of interest in the emergence of photocatalytic fuel cell systems (PFC) presents an efficient and environmentally friendly approach to wastewater treatment. In this work, a Z-scheme coupled with an S-scheme heterojunction electrode was used in the PFC, utilizing TiO 2 /GO/g-C 3 N 4 as the photoanode and BiOAc 1– x Br x /BiOBr as the photocathode. We systematically align the band structures between the anode and cathode, which facilitates the electron transfer between the electrodes. Our attempt successfully demonstrates that collaborative power generation facilitates the high efficiency of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) degradation at both electrodes. The photoanode achieved a 94.87 % degradation rate for TC, while the photocathode exhibited a 96.33 % degradation rate after 2 h, surpassing pristine BiOBr and BiOAc by factors of ∼5.3 and ∼3.8, respectively. Furthermore, this work proposed a mechanism for electron generation, transport, and pollutant degradation mechanism in the PFC. Intermediate substances generated during the degradation of TC were analyzed through high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), while the optimal degradation pathway was confirmed using density functional theory (DFT). The findings of this work establish the feasibility of efficiently degrading pollutants through PFC treatment, introducing a novel system where various heterojunctions in bipolar materials collaborate with photocatalysis to effectively generate electricity and enhance pollutant removal.

Nowadays, supercapacitors as energy storage devices have gradually attracted more attention. In this paper, a tailored “staggered reaction” strategy was employed to synthesize the N/S codoped hollow porous carbon nanospheres as an electrode material for high-performance supercapacitors. This manner features the appropriate involvement of the solvent acetone in the reaction within the system, which enables the sequential reaction process to obtain the core–shell structure with different internal and external compositions. Furthermore, the core could be dissolved by soaking in a formic acid solution, thereby achieving a targeted hollow structure. In addition, in situ doping was achieved by selecting suitable precursors (m-phenylenediamine and 2,4-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid) containing N and S, and the effect of N and S content on performance was investigated in detail. The results reveal that with the increase of N and S content, the specific capacitance of carbon nanospheres first increases and then decreases. Ultimately, the maximum specific capacitances of 398 and 277 F·g–1 were obtained under the current density of 0.2 A·g–1 in a three-electrode system and a two-electrode system, respectively. After 10,000 cycles, the specific capacitance can be basically maintained at 100% with excellent cycling stability.

Cu–In–S ternary nanocrystals (NCs), with an average size of less than 10 nm, were synthesized in an aqueous solution containing bovine serum albumin (BSA). X-Ray powder diffraction (XRD) and selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) analyses showed that these NCs featured a roquesite structure. The composition of the NCs could be adjusted by controlling the molar ratio of the starting Cu/In precursors in the reaction solution, which led to a tunable band gap ranging from 1.48 eV to 2.30 eV. Cytotoxicity testing showed that the BSA-stabilized Cu–In–S NCs had little effect on the cell viability, which suggested that they are user-friendly and environmentally benign. With low cost, minimal energy input and environmental impact, this simple approach shows great potential for industrial applications.

Developing efficient tools to rapidly diagnose early plant stress becomes increasingly important due to the global food demand and the sustainable intensification of agriculture. Enzymes are highly associated with various environmental stresses in plants, some of which are considered biomarkers. Here, we report a new glutathione S -transferase (GST)-activated fluorogenic sensor (named as FPG ) for in vivo diagnostics of plant stress responses. The developed biosensor exhibits a good capability for in situ real-time fluorescence imaging of GST in living cells. More importantly, it enabled the direct visible, monitoring of plants subjected to various biotic and abiotic stresses in a non-invasive and non-destructive manner. Furthermore, FPG allowed the sensitive indication of fungal ( Sclerotinia sclerotiorum ) and viral (tobacco mosaic virus) diseases in Nicotiana benthamiana . Collectively, it reveals that the developed biosensor holds promise for the future development of high-throughput screening for plant phenotyping and the diagnosis of numerous environmental stresses.

The bimetallic center catalyst (DMC) injects new vitality into the accelerated oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) due to its unique structure. The regulation of the coordination environment composition and spatial structure of metal active centers also provides opportunities for optimizing the performance. Herein, we have successfully constructed stereoisomeric Fe2CN-bridge-S (abbreviated as Fe2CN-b-S) catalysts based on the biomimetic Fe–S cluster structure of ferredoxin. Adjacent Fe dual atoms skillfully weaken the O–O bond, crafting a peroxide bridge-like adsorption configuration. The incorporation of S atoms meticulously constructs the stereo configuration of active Fe sites, thereby inducing greater structural deformation tension and a downward shift in the Fe d-band center. These factors collectively facilitate the release of the OH* intermediate. Meanwhile, the reasonable spatial configuration of S can promote the optimal rigid structure of Fe diatomic active centers, improving the stability of the ORR reaction process. Thus, the Fe2CN-b-S catalyst, which has a half-wave potential of 0.865 V, demonstrates superior ORR activity in comparison to Fe2CN. This study offers a perspective on the joint regulation of elemental composition and geometric arrangement for enhanced catalytic activity in oxygen reduction.

Because of increasing concerns about its toxic effects, bisphenol A (BPA) has been gradually replaced in industrial applications by analogs such as bisphenol S (BPS). Few comparative toxicity evaluations of bisphenol analogs have been done. In the present study, 72-h exposure in L1 larvae of the model animal Caenorhabditis elegans was used to evaluate low-concentration BPS toxicity. Multiple indicators at the physiological, biochemical, and molecular levels were tested. At the physiological level, BPS exposure resulted in significantly negative effects at treatments >1 µM, with head thrash being the most sensitive endpoint. At the biochemical level, BPS exposure induced no significant oxidative stress, but significantly increased apoptosis at 1 µM. At the molecular level, BPS exposure induced small but significant variations in most stress-related gene expressions at all doses. In addition, the transgenic nematode TJ375 cell line with the green fluorescent protein–based reporter hsp-16.2 was used to determine stress responses; it was found that TJ375 was not sensitive to BPS exposure. Compared with the effects of BPA shown in our previous 2016 study, the overall results showed that BPS was less noxious to C. elegans than BPA. These toxicity data for BPS could provide a foundation to evaluate the comparative toxicity of BPA alternatives. Environ Toxicol Chem 2018;37:2560–2565. © 2018 SETAC
