Vanadium is a kind of heavy metal pollutant listed as priority control by various countries, but it is also a strategic valuable metal. The current treatment of vanadium-containing wastewater suffers from the waste of vanadium resources and produces large volumes of hazardous wastes . An innovative approach was proposed to address these problems. The method involved selectively recovering vanadium from wastewater using Bi 2 O 3 and preparing Bi-V photocatalyst in situ. By optimizing the conditions, the recovery efficiency of pentavalent vanadium (V(V)) was 99.6%. The recovered product was determined to be 1.14*Bi 2 O 3 @BiVO 4 , and it was proved to be a heterojunction structure by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The band gap was calculated to be 2.32 eV by UV–vis analysis. Under visible light, the degradation rate and efficiency of AO7 by 1.14*Bi 2 O 3 @BiVO 4 was 0.906 h −1 and 84.86%, respectively. The degradation pathway of AO7 was also revealed. The improved photocatalytic performance of the Bi 2 O 3 @BiVO 4 could be attributed to the p-n heterojunction, excitating ·O 2 − and ·OH under visible light. Thus, this method solved the problem of both vanadium discharge in wastewater and the difficulty of vanadium resource utilization, and had practical utilization value.

The development of a low-cost and recyclable method for wastewater treatment has been a major challenge. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes have received considerable attention owing to their excellent mechanical strength , unique antioxidant properties, and low cost. In this study, Bi/BiOCOOH/PVDF composite membrane materials were prepared using a simple two-step solvent thermal method and phase conversion method. The results showed that under the synergistic action of adsorption and photocatalysis , the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of Bi/BiOCOOH composite material and Bi/BiOCOOH/PVDF composite membrane material for ciprofloxacin (CIP) was much higher than that of BiOCOOH. The introduction of PVDF acted as a carrier, improved the adsorption of the catalytic material to CIP, and facilitated the effective collision of the photocatalytic active site and CIP. The experimental results and theoretical calculations confirmed that the combination of Bi and BiOCOOH effectively improved the light absorption capacity and photocatalytic performance. The reproducibility test revealed that the small amount of new composite catalyst for Bi/BiOCOOH/PVDF as a carrier was lost and that the Bi/BiOCOOH/PVDF catalyst still had high catalytic activity. In addition, the influence of water matrix factors, such as pH and anion, on the photocatalytic degradation experiment was investigated, which would provide some reference for the actual wastewater treatment of the composite catalyst. This study demonstrates a photocatalytic activation mechanism between metals and semiconductors and provides some basis for constructing catalysts for the synergistic and effective treatment of water pollution through a combined adsorption and photocatalysis process.

Recently two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) has become an important tool for treating cancer. However, visually monitoring the localization of nanoagents in cancer cells remains a key challenge. Herein, exploring high photostability, and high biocompatibility probes for monitoring PTT are still highly desirable. In this study, a novel optical probe named PEG@ReSe 2 nanosheets (polyethylene glycol, PEG; rhenium diselenide, ReSe 2 ) was prepared and employed to perform in vivo two-photon imaging for monitoring PTT in esophageal cancer cells. Under the illumination of a near-infrared (NIR) femtosecond laser at 820 nm with the output power as low as 5 mW, the PEG@ReSe 2 nanosheets showed significant two-photon features, producing a significant photoluminescence emission band at 637 nm. In addition, the prepared PEG@ReSe 2 nanosheets exhibited high resistance to photobleaching. Also, the PEG@ReSe 2 nanosheets showed low cytotoxicity for cancer cells, providing a high viability of more than 90%. More importantly, the PEG@ReSe 2 nanosheets could enter cancer cells and work as a two-photon probe for visually displaying the PTT process. After 12 h incubation, the PEG@ReSe 2 nanosheets produced strong two-photon signals in KYSE150 cancer cells, enabling them to perform in vivo bi-channel bioimaging. In light of its photothermal effects, the PEG@ReSe 2 nanosheets also could serve as a sensor for monitoring PTT under low-power infrared laser irradiation. This study suggests that, the PEG@ReSe 2 nanosheets could serve as a superior two-photon biosensor for monitoring the PTT process in cancer nanomedicine.

Processing two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs) into nanofilms has gained widespread attention in water treatment. However, the designed synthesis of COF-based membranes for ion separations still remains a huge challenge though the strategies to produce COF molecular separation membranes have been greatly developed. Herein, we report the construction of bi-layered COF nanofilms for efficient desalination through a simple yet effective secondary growth. The suggested strategy is capable of easily regulating the growth of another COF layer on the pre-synthesized first layer, thus producing crystalline and defect-free bi-layered COF nanofilms with distinct laminated structures. Most importantly, the offset channels are involved at the interface of two nanofilms obtained from the first and secondary growth, which leads to a constricted effective aperture that significantly enhances the ion separation performance. Specifically, the bi-layered COF nanofilms composited with macroporous supports exhibit high rejection rates (~95.8%) to Na 2 SO 4 , observably surpassing the desalination performance of single-layered COF nanofilms (rejection<10%). This work not only develops an ingenious way to fabricate COF-on-COF nanofilms with narrowed channels by tailoring the laminated structure of 2D COFs at the film interface, but also starts an avenue for the adoption of COF platforms for membrane separations with an improved precision.

It is a great challenge to detect the target selectively and accurately in complex biological samples. A ratiometric signal amplification strategy based on antifouling peptide is proposed to detect thrombin (TB) in this work. The electrode is modified with conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and [email protected] Then the bi-functional peptide anchors to the modified electrode and captures the low toxic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) probe. The bi-functional peptide includes a new antifouling sequence (DRDRDRDR) and a TB recognizable sequence (SGRPVLG), while the former can greatly reduce the non-specific adsorption in complex samples and the latter can be cleaved by TB. The new self-enhanced luminescence probe labeled as PAMAM-QDs is composed of low toxic and water-soluble CuInZnS/ZnS quantum dots (CIZS/ZnS QDs) and polyamidoamine (PAMAM) via amide bonds. Concentration of TB can be obtained via the ratio of the signals of ECL QDs /ECL [email protected] accurately and sensitively. The ECL biosensor with the detection line 1.82 fM can work from 10 fM to 1 nM. Thanks to the antifouling property of the designed peptide and the amplification of the new ECL probe, the biosensor can be used for quantifying TB in practical complex samples with high selectivity and sensitivity.

Abstract l -Tyrosine is a versatile compound used in the fine chemical, pharmaceutical, and functional food industries. Here, we report a bi-enzymatic cascade involving alanine racemase (ALR) and d -amino acid oxidase (DAAO) to produce pyruvate, as co-substrate for l -tyrosine production, from the cheap substrate l -alanine. The BpALR (ALR from Bacillus pseudofirmus ) was used as a whole-cell biocatalyst, converting l -alanine to d , l -alanine. The FsDAAO (DAAO from Fusarium solani ) was immobilized to oxidize the d -alanine generated in the first step to pyruvate. Both systems were combined as a continuous-flow reactor for maximized l -alanine-to-pyruvate conversion rates. The optimal parameters and appropriate conditions for FsDAAO immobilization were investigated. The pyruvate concentration of 86.6 g/L was achieved within 17 h. Subsequently, a whole-cell biocatalyst system for l -tyrosine production, catalyzed by the tyrosine phenol-lyase (TPL) from Erwinia herbicola (EhTPL), was developed, and a fed-batch approach was applied with phenol and the pyruvate produced with the ALR/DAAO system mentioned above. The concentration of phenol and pyruvate in the reactor should not exceed 7.5 g/L and 10 g/L, respectively. Significantly, the l -tyrosine concentration of 152.5 g/L was achieved within 10 h, demonstrating the great potential for high-efficiency production of l -tyrosine through the approach we established in this paper. Graphical abstract Key points • A specific bioreactor system for pyruvate produced from l -alanine was developed • The appropriate condition for immobilization of FsDAAO was investigated • A fed-batch process was established to produce l -tyrosine with recombinant E. coli • The bi-enzymatic cascade was successfully used for l -tyrosine production at low cost

It is stubborn to remove the lowly concentrated phthalic acid esters (PAEs) that usually coexist with other highly concentrated but low-toxic pollutants in municipal sewage. Herein, we report a novel strategy for completely removing the PAEs over a bi-functional {001}TiO 2 surface (with highly exposed {001} facet), which not only serve as functional sites to specifically adsorb the target PAEs pollutants, but also contribute to an enhanced oxidation ability. The adsorption behavior of PAEs on {001}TiO 2 is analyzed deeply through kinetic experiments combining with in situ ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. The results reveal that the adsorption capacities of PAEs on {001}TiO 2 are about 4–5 times higher than that on TiO 2 , both of which follow the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir model. This is mainly attributed to the interfacial Lewis Acid-Base Pair between {001} facet Ti 5c sites and C O of PAEs. Benefitting from the specific adsorption capability toward target pollutant and enhanced oxidation ability of {001} facets, nearly 100% of DMP or DEP in simulated wastewater can be eliminated by {001}TiO 2 within 2 h illumination, and the relevant degradation rate constants ( k ) (3.67 h −1 for DMP and 2.19 h −1 for DEP) are 5.73 and 3.08 folds higher than that of pure TiO 2 , respectively. In the application of municipal wastewater , nearly 76% of DMP and 85% DEP can be eliminated by {001}TiO 2 within 2 h illumination, which are nearly 3–6 fold higher than that of pure TiO 2 .

A Bi-BiOBr/BiPO4 heterojunction structure was successfully synthesized via a two-step solvothermal method with ethylene glycol as a reducer. Little BiPO4 irregular polyhedrons and little metal Bi spherical nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed on the surface of BiOBr nanosheets with intimate contact and formed a heterojunction structure between BiPO4 and BiOBr. It was found that Bi-BiOBr/BiPO4 had a significant improvement in photocatalytic performance for RhB degradation compared to bare BiOBr and BiPO4. The photocatalytic degradation rate constant of 0.2-Bi/BiOBr/BiPO4 was 1.44 h-1, which was 3.8 times and 14.2 times more than that of bare BiOBr and BiPO4, respectively. This is attributed to the formation of a ternary heterojunction, which benefits the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Furthermore, with the introduction of metal Bi, the SPR effect of metal Bi can effectively improve the absorption ability of Bi-BiOBr/BiPO4 photocatalyst, resulting in enhanced photoactivity. In this work, the mechanism of photocatalytic degradation was studied by using the photochemical technique and the capture experiment of active species, and it was revealed that h+ and ⋅O2- played a major role in the photocatalytic process.

Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are considered as promising alternative candidates to replace lithium-ion batteries due to their low cost, adequate reserves and high energy density. However, a large ionic radius of K + ions leads to a huge volume expansion and a low ion diffusion rate, restricting its cycling stability and rate performance. Herein, bi-continuous and nanoporous carbon spheres (BC-NCS), consisting of continuous nanocarbon framework and interconnected nanopores, are designed and prepared by etching carbon-rich SiOC ceramics. The interconnected nanopores provide fast ion diffusion channels and sufficient room for tolerating the volume expansion, thus leading to high rate performance and long cycle stability, while the continuous carbon framework possesses a defective nature, an expanded interlayer distance (0.39 nm) and various oxygen‐containing functional groups on its surface induced during the etching process, further endowing it with high reversible capacity and stability. Therefore, the BC-NCS exhibits a high initial reversible capacity (336 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 ), long cycle and high rate performance (191 mAh g −1 after 2000 cycles at 0.5 A g −1 ). Importantly, we investigate the potential application of bi-continuous carbon materials in high performance PIBs, and the bi-continuous structure could be induced into various active materials for the application in different batteries.

The carbon dioxide post-combustion capture process using amine solutions is considered the most appropriate method for CO 2 capture from flue gas in power plants. This paper focuses on the CO 2 capture performance of six common organic amines. Two amines, piperazine (PZ) and diethylenetriamine (DETA), which showed better performance, were then filtered out to form amine blends to improve performance further. The absorption heat from the CO 2 absorbing process was measured directly using an advanced C80 micro calorimeter for more accurate calculation of regenerative energy consumption. Experimental results confirmed the optimal amine blend to be 10% PZ plus 20% DETA, with a 42% increase in absorption capacity and a 9% increase in initial absorption rate compared to traditional 30% monoethanolamine (MEA). The regeneration energy consumption of this chosen PZ-DETA blend was calculated to be 3.979 GJ/ton CO 2 , a decrease of 9% compared with MEA. Moreover, it led to an improvement of about 55% in stable cyclic absorption capacity in comparison with 30% MEA. It was confirmed that this PZ-DETA blend can bring practical economic benefits to industrial applications when replacing the current 30% MEA solution. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In this work, a series of flower-like Bi/BiOCl x Br (1− x ) heterojunction photocatalysts have been developed. Bi nanoparticles were grown on the BiOCl x Br (1− x ) nanosheets via an in situ chemical reduction with the assistance of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide aqueous solution. The in situ growth of Bi nanoparticles on the BiOCl x Br (1− x ) nanosheets could not only give rise to the optical absorption in the visible region, but also promote the photocatalytic performance of BiOCl x Br (1− x ) . Bi/BiOCl 0.8 Br 0.2 exhibited the highest photocatalytic performance, which could completely degrade RhB in 12 min under the UV light irradiation and 6 min under visible light irradiation, respectively. Moreover, holes and superoxide radicals were verified to be the primarily active species in the photocatalytic process.
