This study describes the application of in situ extractive fermentation (ISEF) to increase the yields of antroquinonol (AQ) and antrodin C (AC) from Antrodia camphorata S-29. In initial screening experiments, nine solvents were tested to identify the most suitable extractant for the in situ extraction of AQ and AC. These solvents included n-tetradecane, n-dodecane, n-decane, heavy paraffin, light paraffin, oleyl alcohol, oleic acid, butyl oleate, and isopropyl myristate. Of these, oleic acid was the most suitable solvent for the in situ extraction of AQ and AC. The use of oleic acid as an in situ extractant significantly improved AQ and AC productions, which were approximately 5-fold and 8-fold that of the control, respectively. The recovered oleic acid was treated with a silica gel solid-phase extraction column, which was able to rapidly adsorb the bioactive metabolites. The separated solvent hardly contained fermentation products and could be directly reused in ISEF. AQ and AC were obtained with purities of over 75% by silica gel column chromatography. The recoveries of AQ and AC reached 70.7 ± 0.8% and 81.5 ± 1.2%, respectively.

In this study, we reported facile synthesis of Fe3O4/C composite and its application for the cost-effective and sensitive determination of tryptophan (Trp) in human serum samples. Fe3O4/C composites were prepared by a simple one-pot hydrothermal method followed by a mild calcination procedure, using FeCl3∙6H2O as Fe3O4precursor, and glucose as reducing agent and carbon source simultaneously. The Fe3O4/C composite modified glassy carbon electrode (Fe3O4/C/GCE) was prepared by drop-casting method. The microstructure and morphology of Fe3O4/C composite was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. Due to large specific surface area and synergistic effect from Fe3O4nanoparticles and carbon coating, Fe3O4/C composite showed excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of Trp. As a result, the proposed Fe3O4/C/GCE displayed superior analytical performances toward Trp determination, with two wide detection ranges (1.0–80 μM and 80–800 μM) and a low detection limit (0.26 μM, S/N = 3). Moreover, successful detection of Trp in human serum samples further validate the practicability of the proposed sensor.Keywords:Fe3O4/C composite;tryptophan;voltammetric detection;second derivative linear scan voltammetry

Vesicular lithium vanadium phosphate/carbon hollow mesoporous microspheres were fabricated using a facile polyvinylpyrrolidone-assisted aerosol-spray-assisted method and subsequent heat-treatment. While changing the content of polyvinylpyrrolidone, we found that carbon content was adjustable on the surface of lithium vanadium phosphate. By optimizing the carbon content among the composites, the electrochemical performance can be enhanced significantly. The results of electrochemical performance tests suggested that the samples exhibited good cycle performance and high discharge capability in the voltages between 3.0–4.8 V. The observed excellent electrochemical performances could be attributed to the proper content of carbon coating and the vesicular hollow mesoporous microsphere structure, increasing the transmission rate of lithium ions and reducing the structural change during charging and discharging effectively.

A unique nanostructure of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs)-in/carbon layer/out-Ni NPs was developed and proved to be an efficient catalyst and protein adsorbent. This kind of nanostructure was formed through a space-confined pyrolysis procedure using polydopamine-Ni2+ coated Fe-NTA nanowires as the precursor. A N-doped carbon interlayer derived from polydopamine (PDA) supported a large amount of Ni NPs and entrapped well-defined Fe3O4 NPs, which were obtained through reduction of Ni2+, Fe3+ by carbonized NTA groups and a PDA layer. The contributions of the unique configuration along with the high density of Ni NPs in Fe3O4@C-Ni are significant for improving catalysis and protein adsorption performance, which is expected to be a promising alternative to other conventional catalysts and protein adsorbents. Due to the unique novel nanostructure, this nanocomposite possesses a wide range of applications, not only for catalytic reactions but also for other inhomogeneous reactions.

In this paper, bimetallic sulfide Co 8 FeS 8 /N-C dodecahedral nanocages (DNCs) were synthesized by using ZIF-67 as a template through subsequent pyrolysis and sulfuration process. Co 8 FeS 8 nanoparticles are embedded carbon framework, which has porous hollow interior and conductive N-doped carbon matrix. When the Co 8 FeS 8 /N-C DNCs were applied as anode materials in lithium-ion battery, the bimetallic sulfide composites realize high reversible capacity (396 mA h g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 after 400 cycles) and excellent rate capability (349 mA h g −1 at 5.0 A g −1 ). Meanwhile, Co 8 FeS 8 /N-C DNCs also have superior cycle performance (308 mA h g −1 at 5.0 A g −1 after 1000 cycles). The remarkable properties are attributed to the synergy effect of bimetallic sulfide and the special polyhedral hollow structure with the conductive N-dopped mesoporous carbon.

A novel photoelectrode of ternary CdS/Au/TiO2 nanotube array, fabricated by electrodeposition technique and successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method, shows strong photon absorption capacity and active charge transfer efficiency. A photoelectrochemical
aptasensor was developed to detect cytochrome c (cyt c) by decorating a HS-aptamer on the CdS/Au/TiO2 photoelectrode. Due to the specific binding between the cyt c and aptamer, the cyt c-aptamer complex formed and enhanced the steric hindrances and reduced the e/h
+
lifetimes, which result in a decrease in the photoelectrical current intensity. Cyt c is, therefore, also quantified based on the decrease in photoelectrical current. The developed aptasensor shows a high specificity and a high sensitivity towards to the cyt c, giving a linear range from 5
pM to 100 nM, and a limit of detection of 3.45 pM.

Herein, Ni/C was prepared at room temperature (RT) by liquid chemical reduction by using hydrazine hydrate as the reducing agent. The impregnation method was adopted to deposit precious metals on carbon black (C) to obtain the Pd/C, Ru/C monometallic and PdRu/C bimetallic catalysts. The PdNi/C, RuNi/C bimetallic and PdRuNi/C tri-metallic catalysts were obtained through a chemical replacement reaction method. The as-prepared catalysts were characterized by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution TEM (HRTEM), high-angle annular dark-field scanning TEM (HAADF-STEM) and STEM energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (STEM-EDS) elemental mapping and line-scanning, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and SEM-EDS, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and high-sensitivity low-energy ion scattering spectroscopy (HS-LEIS) techniques, which proved that PdRu islands were supported on the Ni/Ni(OH)2 nanoparticles (NPs) (PdRu-on-Ni/Ni(OH)2 NPs) in PdRuNi/C. The results revealed that the PdRuNi/C catalyst showed the most excellent catalytic performance for ethylbenzene hydrogenation under mild reaction conditions mainly owing to the synergistic effect among the Pd, Ru and Ni related species. The PdRuNi/C catalyst also exhibited good stability in ethylbenzene hydrogenation.

CuS/CdS(H)/CdS(C) photocatalysts were synthesized via the hydrothermal method by employing thiourea , Cd(CH 3 COO) 2 ·3H 2 O and copper 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate MOF (CuBDC). The photocatalysts were characterized by XRD , XPS , BET, TEM and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra. Interestingly, hexagonal CdS (CdS(H)) and cubic CdS (CdS(C)) were formed with phase junctions in one step when CuBDC was introduced in the synthesis process, in addition, CuS nanoparticles were deposited on CdS. However, only hexagonal CdS was obtained without CuBDC. It demonstrated that CuBDC was not only the precursor of CuS but also the structural modifier for CdS. With the reduction of re-combination of photo-induced electrons and holes caused by phase junctions and the enhancement of visible-light absorptions due to the loading of CuS, all CuS/CdS(H)/CdS(C) photocatalysts had higher photocurrent densities under visible-light irradiation, and consequently the higher rates of H 2 production than pure CdS(H). Typically, the catalyst with 2.89 wt% of Cu showed a highest rate of H 2 evolution at 2042 μmol/g/h.

N-Doped porous tremella-like Fe3C/C electrocatalysts derived from metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) were fabricated via a facile approach. The simply designed catalytic materials have unique fluffy multilayer interconnected porous morphology, which provides a large specific surface area and effectively prevents the agglomeration of nanoparticles. These special features create more active sites (Fe–Nx) on the surface of the electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the presence of the Fe–Nx active sites was verified via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The effect of Fe intake through pyrolysis of MOFs materials was also studied and the composite with 0.04 g Fe source exhibited excellent ORR performance, a very small hydrogen peroxide yield, and followed the four-electron transfer pathway. The ORR activity of the electrocatalyst is comparable to that of commercial Pt/C, while the stability is even better than the latter in an alkaline solution. The facile method of preparing a multilayer porous N-doped tremella-like Fe3C/C electrocatalyst is a promising electrode material for a wide range of applications in fuel cells and metal–air batteries.

As a kind of energy storage device, supercapacitors have attracted the attention of researchers, and the development of high-performance electrode materials is also the focus of attention. In this paper, template synthesis and pyrolysis were combined to prepare high performance porous carbon electrode materials. The carbonized electrode material effectively increased the capacitance storage capacity and charge transfer rate. The results revealed that the derivative had a relatively low charge-transfer resistance and high specific capacitance of 1059 F·g −1 at a current density of 1.0 A·g −1 in a three-electrode system. To further exploring practical application, a device based on the derivative and hemp-activated carbon asymmetric supercapacitor was assembled in 0.1 M Na 2 SO 4 neutral electrolyte, which exhibited an energy density of 20.35 Wh·kg −1 at a power density of 400 W·kg −1 . Interestingly, it showed capability retention of nearly of 91.7% and columbic efficiency of 100% even after 10000 charging/discharging cycles in the neutral electrolyte.

BCN (boron carbon nitride) nanosheets are promising photocatalyst materials for solar fuel production by visible light-driven water splitting and CO2 reduction due to their tunable band gap and unique properties. C-doping into h-BN by thermal annealing makes possible the preparation of BCN nanosheets with photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation, but it generally requires a very high temperature (>1250 °C) from the thermodynamic viewpoint. Here, we report a new method to prepare BCN nanosheets with visible light-photocatalytic activity at lower annealing temperature (1000 °C) than equilibrium by adding alkaline earth metal compounds. BCN nanosheets formed in borate melt show a clear layered structure, tunable bandgap and photocatalytic activity for water splitting and CO2 reduction under visible light illumination. This provides a direction for doping other elements into h-BN at low annealing temperature by alkaline earth metal borates.

Special electric and magnetic characteristics make Fe3O4 widely applied in the electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption region. However, for pure Fe3O4, it is still a challenge to simultaneously obtain high absorption intensity and broadband absorption at a low thickness, owing to its low dielectric property. As we realized, flake configuration and the porous structure have obviously promote the EM wave absorption property. Because the former can lead to multi-reflection between flakes and the latter is conductive to interface polarization, flaky Fe3O4 with a porous and coarse surface was designed to overcome the deficiency of traditional Fe3O4 particles. The experimental results demonstrate that the flaky configuration is conductive to enhancing the dielectric coefficient and optimizing impedance matching. Moreover, the complex permittivity rises with the aspect ratio of the sheet. Under a suitable dimension, the flaky Fe3O4 could acquire targeted EM wave absorption capacity in the X band (8–12 GHz). In detail, the maximum reflection loss (RL) could reach a strong intensity of −49 dB at 2.05 mm. The effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) with RL below −10 dB is 4.32 (7.52–11.84) GHz, which is almost equivalent to the whole X band (8–12 GHz). Even more exciting, when regulating the thickness between 2.05 and 3.05 mm, the EAB could cover the entire C and X bands (4–12 GHz). This study provides a good reference for the future development of other ferromagnetic materials toward specific microwave bands.
