Freshwater sediments have been recognized as a long-term sink and potential source for environmental pollutants released into the aquatic ecosystems. In this study, the sediment quality of Taihu Lake, which is susceptible to anthropogenic contamination, was assessed by a combination of chemical analytical and biological end points. Specifically, the snail Bellamya aeruginosa was caged in situ at two locations representing different pollution levels for different exposure times (7, 14 and 21 days). At each of these time points, biochemical parameters, i.e., phase I biotransformation enzymes ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD), the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase, reactive oxygen species, protein carbonyl content and lipid peroxidation, were evaluated in the hepatopancreas of snails. In addition, surface sediments were collected for analysis of contaminants of concern, including inorganic pollutants, organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers.Chemical analyses revealed that sediments from Taihu Lake were contaminated with trace elements and organic pollutants. Concentrations of trace elements (Cu, Ni and As) and organochlorinated pesticides (4,4′-DDE) exceeded their corresponding threshold effect level according to the sediment quality assessment values for freshwater ecosystems in Canada, indicating that adverse biological effects may occur. All biomarkers, except EROD activity, were induced in snails during all exposure times. The integrated biomarker response index (IBR) indicated that during the initial exposure phase (7 days), B. aeruginosa were subjected to significant environmental stress, which diminished during later sampling time points.Results showed that IBR correlated well with the levels of environmental contaminants, demonstrating the applicability of this biomonitoring approach to complex environmental exposure scenarios.

Bisphenol AF (BPAF), commonly used as a substitute for bisphenol A (BPA), is also an endocrine disruptor with cytotoxicity, neurotoxicity, genotoxicity, and biotoxicity. In this study, we found that BPAF could be effectively degraded by free chlorine. The second order rate constant of the reaction ranged from 1.67 to 126.67 M −1 ·s −1 in the pH range of 5.0–11.0. Nineteen products were detected by LC-Q-TOF-MS analysis, including chlorinated BPAF (i.e., mono/di/tri/tetrachloro-BPAF), 8 dimers, and 6 trimers. According to the identified products, two transformation pathways of electrophilic substitution and electron transfer are proposed. Humic acid (HA) could inhibit the degradation rate of BPAF due to its ability to reduce the reactive BPAF radical intermediates to the parent compound. The addition of low concentrations of Br − and I − accelerates the reaction rate of BPAF, due to the formation of HOBr and HOI with a higher oxidizing capacity. In seawater, BPAF degraded rapidly, and 16 new halogenated products were formed. Theoretical calculation shows that electrophilic substitution is more prone to occur at the ortho position of the hydroxyl group to form chlorinated products, while electron transfer tends to occur at the hydroxyl oxygen, resulting in the formation of BPAF radical and its subsequent coupling products.

Abstract Development of wearable devices for in situ monitoring biological analytes in sweat has been fueled up in the past few years. Although microfluidic thread/paper-based analytical device (μTPAD) fulfills the requirements of wearable systems on flexibility and biocompatibility, it has not been employed as a sensing system for the in situ sweat analysis. In this work, we developed a wearable μTPAD containing a cotton thread and a functionalized filter paper for non-invasive, quantitative and in situ monitoring of human sweat glucose with the assistance of a smartphone. The oxygen plasma was applied to tailor the wicking property of the cotton thread. Amounts of enzymes and reagents on the filter papers were optimized to achieve the high-performance colorimetric sensing of glucose. The as-prepared device possesses a dynamic range of 50–250 μΜ and a detection limit of ~ 35 μΜ. Because of its great wearability and compatibility with conventional textile industry, the μTPAD was integrated with an arm guard to sensitively detect glucose in human sweat. This work may provide a low-cost, easy to use wearable device based on the cotton thread and filter paper for human sweat analysis. Graphical abstract

An electrochemical chiral multilayer nanocomposite was prepared by modifying a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) via opposite-charge adsorption of amino-modified β-cyclodextrin (NH 2 -β-CD), gold-platinum core-shell microspheres (Au@Pts), polyethyleneimine (PEI), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The modified GCE was applied to the enantioselective voltammetric determination of tryprophan (Trp). The Au@Pts enable an effective immobilization of the chiral selector (NH 2 -β-CD) and enhance the electrochemical performance. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, FTIR and electrochemical methods were used to characterize the nanocomposite. Trp enantiomers were then determined by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) (with a peak potential of +0.7 V vs. Ag/AgCl). The recognition efficiency was expressed by an increase in peak height by about 32% for DPV determinations of L-Trp compared to D-Trp in case of a 5 mM Trp solution of pH 7.0. Response was linear in the 10 μM to 5.0 mM concentration range, and the limits of detection were 4.3 μM and 5.6 μM with electrochemical sensitivity of 43.5 μA·μM −1 ·cm −2 and 34.6 μA·μM −1 ·cm −2 for L-Trp and D-Trp, respectively (at S/ N = 3).

Abstract Bile acids are essential materials in the fatty acid cycle. Thus, understanding the metabolism of bile acids is significant. In this study, LC–MS was employed to analyze the composition and content of bile acids in rat cecal contents. Six individual bile acids were determined simultaneously. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile and 10 mmol L −1 of ammonium acetate solution. The flow rate was 0.2 mL min −1 , and the total analysis time was 34 min. Under the developed conditions, all calibration curves for the six individual bile acids were achieved, and all correlation coefficients exceeded 0.99. Meanwhile, satisfactory results were obtained in the range of 50–500 µg g −1 for the six individual bile acids in the rat cecal contents. The LOD and LOQ of the bile acids were as low as 2.5 and 10 µg g −1 in the rat cecal contents, respectively, and the relative standard deviations of the peak area were within 1.25–2.01%. The dried residues after extraction were selected as the blank matrix. The overall recovery efficiencies of the bile acids in biological samples were increased to 97.2–103.2%. Therefore, the developed method can be used to quantify individual bile acids at extremely low levels in rat cecal contents. Graphical Abstract

Ni 2 P catalysts supported on different supports, such as SiO 2 from different sources, Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2 and ZrO 2 were prepared for the hydrodeoxygenation of p-cresol (monocyclic phenol model in coal tar). The reaction was carried out on a fixed-bed reactor at a temperature of 330–390 °C under 2 MPa. The order of conversion of p-cresol was as follows: Ni 2 P/SiO 2 -2 > Ni 2 P/SiO 2 -3 > Ni 2 P/SiO 2 -1 > Ni 2 P/Al 2 O 3 > Ni 2 P/ZrO 2 > Ni 2 P/TiO 2 . Ni 2 P/SiO 2 -3 shown higher DDO path selectivity, resulting in the conversion of p-cresol of 93% and a selectivity of 72.6% for BTX products under the reaction temperature of 370 °C with LHSV of 0.5 h −1 . This catalyst was also used for the hydrodeoxygenation of the crude phenolic mixture extracted from coal tar, which shown that the phenol deoxidation rate was 87.6% and the BTX product selectivity was 73.7% by GC–MS.

A copper(II)-based two-dimensional metal-organic framework with nanosheet structure (CuBDC NS) that possesses peroxidase (POx) mimicking activity was prepared. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, the system catalyses the oxidation of terephthalic acid to a blue-fluorescent product (excitation = 315 nm; emission = 425 nm). Pyrophosphate has a very strong affinity for Cu 2+ ion and blocks the POx-mimicking activity of the CuBDC NS. If, however, inorganic pyrophosphatase is present, the POx mimicking activity is gradually restored because pyrophosphate is hydrolyzed. The findings were used to design a method for the determination of the activity of inorganic pyrophosphatase by fluorometry. Fluorescence increases linearly in the 1–50 mU·mL −1 inorganic pyrophosphatase activity range. The limit of detection is 0.6 mU·mL −1 (S/ N = 3).
A copper(II)-based two-dimensional metal-organic framework (CuBDC NS) is described that possesses POx-mimicking activity. Inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) was hydrolyzed to phosphate in the presence of inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase). Hence, it cannot coordinate with Cu 2+ in CuBDC NS, its structure was well-conserved to catalyses the oxidation of terephthalic acid (H 2 BDC) to produce a blue fluorescent product (oxBDC) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ).

The recently emerged double-cable conjugated polymers have come into focus due to their significantly improved power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) in single-component organic solar cells (SCOSCs). In this work, the effect of chlorination in double-cable conjugated polymers with linear benzodithiophene backbone and pendant perylene bisimide on the photovoltaic performance in SCOSCs has been studied. After introducing chlorine atoms into conjugated side chains, the highest occupied molecular orbital level of the conjugated polymers is down-shifted, thus resulting in a higher open-circuit voltage. As a result, the chlorinated double-cable conjugated polymer exhibits improved photovoltaic performance from 3.46% to 3.57%.

Abstract Lignin is a typical biological macromolecule with a three-dimensional network structure and abundant functional groups. It has excellent ionic complexation ability and amphiphilic molecular structure characteristics. In this study, the carbon steel anticorrosion performance of sodium lignosulfonate (SLS) in an acid solution was evaluated using the weight loss method, electrochemical measurements, scanning vibration electrode technique (SVET), and surface characterization methods. SLS exhibited excellent corrosion inhibition efficiency for Q235 carbon steel in 1 mol·L -1 HCl, reaching a maximum value of 98%. A low SLS concentration of 20 mg·L -1 resulted in the maximum corrosion inhibition efficiency, which remained nearly constant at higher SLS concentrations. The SVET test demonstrated that the formation of an SLS adsorption film can impede corrosion. This study confirms the significance of the application of green biomass resources in the field of metal corrosion protection and green functional materials. Graphical abstract

Dye wastewater with high concentration, large molecular weight, complex structure, and certain toxicity has brought a serious burden to the environment. In this study, acid red 73 dye (AR73) was used as the model pollutant to compare the degradation effects of different systems on AR73. The influence factors of a UV/hydrogen peroxide/peroxydisulfate (UV/H 2 O 2 /PDS) composite system, such as H 2 O 2 dosage, initial concentration of AR73, initial pH value, anion concentration, and actual water, on the degradation of AR73 were investigated. Compared with other systems, the UV/H 2 O 2 /PDS composite system had the best degradation effect of AR73, with a degradation efficiency of 98.98%, which conforms to the pseudo-first-order reaction kinetic model, the pseudo-first-order reaction kinetic constant ( k obs ) is 0.1339 min −1 . And the synergy coefficients in this complex system were all greater than 2. Specifically, the degradation efficiency of the UV/H 2 O 2 /PDS composite system for AR73 was the highest when the initial pH was neutral. The presence of anions inhibited the degradation of AR73, and the real water reduced the degradation efficiency for AR73. Electron spin resonance (ESR) detection and free radicals capture test demonstrated that hydroxyl radical ( · OH) was the main reactive species in AR73 degradation, and its 80.66–84.93% contribution. With the destruction of the structure of AR73 by free radicals, anilines, phenols, and oxalic acid were found to be the main intermediate products during the degradation of AR73 by gas-phase mass spectrometry and UV–vis spectrograms. The changes in toxicity during the degradation of AR73 by the UV/H 2 O 2 /PDS complex system were also assessed.

Hollow mesoporous silica particles(HMSPs) were prepared by using polystyrene microspheres as a template and loaded with silver chloride(AgCl) to act as antibacterial agents. The HMSPs possess radially oriented pore channels and a high loading amount of AgCl. The AgCl loaded HMSPs were then dispersed in hybrid coatings with different mass ratios to fabricate antibacterial coatings. The antibacterial activities of the coatings were tested against Candida albicans (ATCC 10231) and Streptococcus mutants (ATCC 25175). The resulting antibacterial coatings exhibited high antibacterial activities, high hardness, and acceptable adhesion to the substrate.
