Hexabromobenzene (HBB) is a novel brominated flame retardant (BFR) with ample evidence of its ubiquitous existence in the aquatic ecosystems. However, to date, the toxicological effects of this BFR on fish have been inadequately researched. The present study was conducted, based on an in vivo model, to investigate HBB-induced biochemical changes in liver and gill tissues of Carassius auratus after medium-term exposure to different concentrations (10, 150, and 300 mg/kg) for 7, 14, and 25 days. Oxidative stress was evoked evidently for the prolonged exposure, demonstrated by significant inhibition in antioxidant enzymes activities including superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione S-transferase, and a decrease in reduced glutathione level, as well as simultaneous elevation in malondialdehyde content. Moreover, Na + , K + -ATPase activity, and protein level were remarkably reduced in fish tissues. Based on the integrated biomarker response, the toxic potency in each treatment was distinguished, and the more severe stress was mainly noted with the increasing concentrations and the extending durations. It was also observed that liver exhibited more pronounced alterations in biochemical parameters than gill, probably indicating the vulnerability of liver to HBB-triggered oxidative stress. Taken together, the results of this study clearly showed that HBB was capable of inducing oxidative stress and inhibiting Na + , K + -ATPase activity in different tissues of C. auratus after medium-term exposure. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The electron transfer rate in photocatalysts is one of the factors determining their hydrogen production activity. In this work, NH2-MIL-88B(Fe) (NFM) was synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal synthesis method and NFM/GDY-25 (NFMG-25) was successfully synthesized by loading graphdiyne (GDY) onto the surface of NFM. The hydrogen production performance and the mechanism of the prepared photocatalysts were systematically investigated using XRD, SEM, FT-IR, XPS, UV-Vis, PL and photoelectrochemical tests. The results showed that the hydrogen production of NFMG-25 reached 61.7 μmol in 5 hours. Photoelectrochemical and Mott–Schottky tests demonstrated that the composite catalyst exhibited high photogenerated carrier separation efficiency and single catalysts were n-type semiconductors. The conduction bands of NFM and GDY were −0.36 V and −0.56 V, respectively, while the valence bands were 1.90 V and 1.12 V. NFM acted as an electron acceptor and donor, which accelerated the transfer of the electrons, and enhanced the photocatalytic hydrogen production efficiency of the composite system. This study provides an effective method for using NFM in photocatalytic hydrogen production.

With the growing demand for sustainable energy, developing new technologies based on biomass has caused deep interest. Glucose conversion into fructose is a crucial step in the sustainable biorefinery industry. Metal–organic frameworks with abundant active metal centers have shown potential, but their specific contribution is not yet fully understood. In this study, mesoporous Zr-NU-1008 with hexanuclear clusters (M 6 ) exhibited a higher glucose conversion of 54.7 % with a fructose selectivity of 85.3 % under optimized conditions compared with its hafnium counterpart, highlighting the significance of strong Lewis acidity of metal species. By adjusting the amount of the capped formate on the hexanuclear zirconium (IV) cluster (Zr 6 ) of Zr-NU-1008, a positive correlation with the catalytic activity was realized, suggesting the lability of the capping modulator during catalysis, which enables tuning the activity by manipulating the capping modulator. Further saturating the Zr 6 cluster with the electron-withdrawing trifluoroacetate modulator achieved an excellent glucose conversion of 63.3 % with a superior fructose selectivity of 86.0 %. Besides, the recovered catalyst can be easily regenerated by reinstalling the modulator on the M 6 cluster, restoring its catalytic activity.

Herein, the application of graphdiyne (GDY) in photocatalytic splitting of water and hydrogen evolution is explored. In this article, GDY is prepared by ball milling using calcium carbide as raw material, and it is compounded with phosphating Mo–metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), to explore the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance and hydrogen evolution mechanism of composite catalysts. In the results, it is shown that the P–Mo–MOFs (PMF)/G-25 composite photocatalyst has the best hydrogen evolution activity, and the hydrogen evolution rate is highest at pH = 9, reaching 1668.5 μmol g −1 h −1 . Through the four-cycle hydrogen evolution cycle stability test, the PMF/G-25 composites still has good hydrogen evolution stability. It is shown that the combination of phosphating Mo–MOFs and GDY can enhance the hydrogen evolution activity and has excellent hydrogen evolution performance. In the Mott–Schottky test, it is found that PMF and GDY are n-type semiconductors. The conduction and valence values are −0.56 and 1.10 eV for GDY, and −0.68 and 0.97 eV for PMF, respectively. The mechanism of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution is analyzed, and it is speculated that S-Scheme heterojunction is formed between PMF and GDY to further promote photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

Here, we designed a catalytic DNA assembly (CDA) amplification strategy to construct a photoelectrochemical (PEC) assay to detect the specific target F3L-gene of Monkeypox Virus (MPXV). Graphdiyne (GDY) and CuSe were synthesized by a surface-assisted deprotection/polymerization method and hydrothermal method, respectively. Then AuNPs and GDY/CuSe nanocomposites were modified on the surface of gold electrode (GE). The hairpin DNA4 (H4) was incubated onto the surface of the electrode by Au-S bond. When the target was present, the CDA was occurred by hairpin DNA1 (H1) and hairpin DNA2 (H2). Then, DNA3 (H3) hybridized with the single stranded region of H1-H2 complex, formed a site that can be hydrolyzed by exonuclease III, led to exonuclease III hydrolysis of DNA and to release the H3 primer (H3P). H3 further opened H4 and triggered a subsequent CDA reaction, ultimately formed a Y-shaped DNA structure on the electrode surface with the help of DNA5 (H5) and DNA6 (H6). The two end sequences of H4 and H6, which constituted the Y-shaped structure, were designed as split H3P fragments. They can be used as primers to trigger CDA reactions for more efficient and characteristic autocatalytic signal amplification. The Y-shaped structure carried H5-ALP, and catalyzed phosphonoxyphenol ( o -PP) to generate benzene-1,2-diol (CA), which could enhance the PEC signal. The linear range is 0.1 fM-10.0 pM with the detection limit of 0.05 fM (3S/N) for MPXV.

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) is a widely used insulating gas and a greenhouse gas which requires efficient recycling to minimize its environmental impact. Conventional membrane materials, such as zeolites, polymers, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), often suffer from harsh fabrication conditions or insufficient selectivity/permeability. In this work, we present a facile strategy for fabricating a noncovalently bonded polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) monolayer membrane for efficient N 2 /SF 6 separation. The PAH monolayer with a thickness of 1.35 nm was prepared via Langmuir Schaefer (LS) method by using hexa(terpyridine) hexaphenylbenzene (HTPHPB) on air-water interface. Strong π-π stacking interaction between HTPHPB molecules stabilizes the monolayer, while the resulting intermolecular transient nanopores enable selective SF₆ separation from N₂. The resulting 4 layers of HTPHPB membrane, assembled at 25 mN·m −1 , exhibits exceptional SF 6 /N 2 separation performance with a selectivity of 155 ± 4 and a N 2 permeance of 136 ± 4 GPU, overcoming the inherent trade-off between selectivity and permeability in traditional organic membranes. Notably, the membrane maintains its separation performance even under bending, demonstrating excellent mechanical flexibility. This study offers a tunable and scalable organic membrane design strategy, paving the way for industrial applications in SF 6 recovery and gas separation.

For the first time, a series of alkynyl carbon materials (ACMs) were prepared via the mechanochemical reaction of CaC 2 with six polyhalogenated precursors, namely CCl 4 , C 2 Cl 6 , C 2 Cl 4 , C 6 Cl 6 , C 6 Br 6 , and C 14 H 4 Br 10 (ACM-1, ACM-2, ACM-3, ACM-4, ACM-5, and ACM-6, respectively) and used for the adsorptive removal of mercury from aqueous solutions. Based on preliminary investigations, the adsorption of mercury on ACM-5 was studied in depth. Specifically, the effect of pH on mercury adsorptivity , adsorption kinetics, thermodynamics, isotherms, and recyclability was studied. The adsorptivity of mercury on ACMs was found to be closely related to the hydrocarbon precursor, specific surface area of sorbent , and the alkynyl content. ACM-5 showed the best performance and is among the best raw carbonaceous sorbents reported so far, with a Langmuir saturated adsorption capacity of 191.9 mg g − 1 . The promising mercury adsorption performance mainly arises from the strong Lewis soft acid–soft base interactions between the alkynyl groups and mercury ions. The adsorption isotherms could be satisfactorily correlated with the Langmuir equation. The results show that the ACMs can be used as efficient sorbents for the removal of mercury and may also be useful for the adsorption of other heavy metals.
