P-selectin, mediated adhesion between endothelium and neutrophils, is a promising target for the therapeutics of acute inflammatory-related diseases. It is reported that brown algal fucoidans can antagonize P-selectin function. However, the fractionation and physicochemical characterization of Sargassum fusiforme fucoidan, and the screening of fucoidan fractions with P-selectin antagonistic capability have not been investigated. In this study, we isolated and fractionated systematically the S. fusiforme fucoidan by ion-exchange chromatography and size exclusion chromatography to obtain eight fucoidan fractions. Their physicochemical characterization was determined by chemical methods, HPLC and FT-IR. The inhibitory capacity of the fucoidan fractions in P-selectin-mediated leukocyte adhesion was evaluated by static adhesion assay and parallel-plate flow chamber. Results showed that fucoidan fractions possessed distinct physicochemical properties, including total carbohydrate, uronic acid and sulfate contents, molecular weight, and monosaccharide compositions. Among all the fucoidan fractions, SFF-32 and SFF-42 showed better blocking ability against P-selectin-mediated cell adhesion.

A highly sensitive and selective detection of p-phenylenediamine (PPD) is achieved by a fluorescence sensor, which is constructed by encapsulating the hydrophobic fluorescent 1-pyrenecarboxaldehyde (Py-CHO) into a polymeric ionic liquid (PIL)-based amphiphilic block copolymer (BCP) micelle. The amine–aldehyde condensation reaction between PPD and Py-CHO leads to the fluorescence quenching of Py-CHO, giving rise to the basis for the quantitative detection of PPD. The core cavity of the micelle formed by the self-assembly of PIL provides an excellent hydrophobic environment for the accommodation of fluorescent Py-CHO, offering significant improved sensitivity and selectivity for PPD detection. The amount of PIL in fabricating the amphiphilic BCP micelle, the BCP-Py-CHO micelle concentration, and the detection pH condition are investigated to obtain the best performance of this sensor. The accurate detection of PPD is achieved in the range of 0.02–10 μmol L–1 under optimal conditions, and the detection limit is 0.007 μmol L–1 (3σ/s). The developed sensor is successfully applied to the determination of PPD contents in hair dyes, spiked water, and urine samples.

A highly sensitive and selective turn on fluorescent probe P-acid-aldehyde (P-CHO) is developed for the determination of cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy). The probe is designed and synthesized by incorporating the specific functional group aldehyde group for thiols into a stable π-conjugated material 4,4′-(2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-phenylene) bis(ethyne-2,1-diyl) dibenzoic acid (P-acid). The probe fluorescence is quenched through donor photoinduced electron transfer (d-PET) between the fluorophore (P-acid) and the recognition group (aldehyde group). In the presence of thiols, Cys and Hcy can selectively react with aldehyde group of the probe because the inhibition of d-PET between fluorophore and recognition group. Therefore, a turn-on fluorescent sensor was established for the fluorescence recovery. Under the optimized conditions, the fluorescence response of probe is directly proportional to the concentration of Cys in the range of 4–95 nM L −1 , with a detection limit 3.0 nM. In addition, the sensing system exhibits good selectively toward Cys and Hcy in the presence of other amino acids . It has been successfully applied for bioimaging of Cys and Hcy in living cells with low cell toxicity.

The effects of additives on the deposition rate, surface morphology, Ni and P elemental content of the electroless plating layer, and roughness of the electroless plating Ni-P layer were investigated. In an electroless plating Ni-P system, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA-2Na) and sodium hypophosphite monohydrate were used as the complexing agent and reductant, respectively. The linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) polarization curve results showed that the compound addition of 1.0 mg L −1 L-tyrosine, 2.0 g L −1 saccharin, and 6.0 mg L −1 sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) could inhibit sodium hypophosphite oxidation and nickel ion reduction, which eventually reduced the Ni-P deposition rate. The Tafel polarization curves indicated that the compound additives obviously improved the corrosion resistance of the Ni-P electroless plating layer. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that the composite additives generated fine and uniform Ni-P electroless plating particles and enhanced the density, eliminated the surface cracks, and reduced the pinholes on the electroless plating layer surface. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) tests showed that the addition of complex additives improved the smoothness of the plated layer, the R a value was reduced from 135.0 nm to 53.2 nm, and the R q value was reduced from 164.0 nm to 93.0 nm. The final composition and implementation conditions of the EDTA-2Na-based Ni-P electroless plating system were determined. The deposition rate was 10.44 μm h −1 , the P content of the electroless plating layer was 2.2%, and the electroless plating player was silver-white and bright. Graphical Abstract

In this study, we presented a facile strategy to synthesis Cu-doped carbon dots (Cu-CDs) through one-step hydrothermal approach using CuCl 2 ·2H 2 O and ethanediamine as reaction precursor. Interestingly, the fluorescence of Cu-CDs can be quenched greatly in the presence of p -nitrophenol. Thus, a high selectivity and sensitivity fluorescent sensing platform is constructed for the detection of p -nitrophenol on account of the inner filter effect . Under the optimal condition, the linear detection range is 0.5–50 μM with the detection limit of 0.08 μM (S/N = 3). This method is successfully applied in quantification of p -nitrophenol in lake water samples, which exhibits potential application prospect.

Study of high-efficiency and free secondary pollution TiO 2 based photocatalyst has become the one of the most urgent problems in improving the decolorization effect of the waste water from printing and dyeing mill. In this work, a novel self-standing Ag 2 O@YSZ-TiO 2 p-n nanoheterojunction nanofibrous membrane was designed for ultraviolet (UV) photocatalyst by a facile combination of electrospinning technique and precipitation process. Moreover, the UV photocatalytic performance of the flexible AZT p-n nanoheterojuction nanofibrous membranes with a band gap energy of 2.89 eV and good reversibility of 5 cycles, was superior to the commercial catalyst P25 for photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue. Furthermore, the photocatalytic mechanism of the flexible Ag 2 O@YSZ-TiO 2 nanofibrous photocatalyst was proposed by the electron transition in Ag 2 O/TiO 2 p-n nanoheterojunction, which showed a new insight to development of flexible and high-efficiency nanoheterojunction nanocrystalline photocatalytic membranes.

In order to solve the problems of insufficient adsorption electrolyte capacity and small specific surface area caused by the smooth surface and few pores of Super P spherical conductive particles, this work uses concentrated sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) for surface etching of Super P conductive particles to explore the influence of different etching time on the micromorphology of SP conductive agent and the behaviors of LiNi 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 O 2 (NCM-523) batteries. After etched by concentrated H 2 SO 4 , the surface of SP conductive agent changes from “capillary” structure to fluffy “plush” structure, effectively improving the conductivity specific surface area of the conductive agent particles. Compared with the pristne SP-0H conductive agent, the batteries using 1.5% of concentrated H 2 SO 4 etched SP-1H, SP-2H and SP-20H conductive agent have smaller EIS impedance value, larger area of CV curves, and smaller potential difference of the redox peaks. As a result, the initial charging/discharging capacities of SP-1H, SP-2H and SP-20H conductive batteries were 178.7/183.0, 187.6/183.9, 178.9/180.8 mAh/g with corresponding ICE of 102.4%, 98.0% and 101.1% respectively, which were much higher than the pristine SP-0H conductive battery (182.0/173.7 mAh/g with ICE of 95.4%). In addition, the SP-1H, SP-2H and SP-20H batteries also show significantly improved cycle performance and rate cycle capabilities, showing more superior comprehensive behaviors, which can provide a new modification insights for the exploration of new conductive agent in NCM-523 of high-performance lithium ion batteries.

A bifunctional CuO-Fe 3 O 4 material was synthesized and employed for the photocatalytic degradation of p-arsanilic acid (p-ASA) under visible light irradiation and simultaneous removal of the released inorganic arsenic by adsorption from solution. The effects of major factors, including solution pH, bicarbonate ion, halide ion and humic acid , on the p-ASA degradation were investigated. Under various water quality conditions, an excellent removal of p-ASA could always be achieved by the CuO-Fe 3 O 4 photocatalytic process and p-ASA could be completely converted to As(V) within 36 min. Simultaneously, the released As(V) could be adsorbed onto the surface of CuO-Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles with high efficiency above 95% at initial pH range from 4 to 7. The presence of humic acid significantly weakened the degradation of p-ASA by scavenging OH, and slightly inhibited the As(V) removal. On the basis of the UV–vis, FTIR, XPS analysis and the major degradation products detected, the mechanism of the p-ASA photocatalytic degradation and the released As(V) adsorption by CuO-Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles was given, and the degradation pathway of p-ASA during the photocatalytic process was also taken into consideration. Combined with the photocatalytic property and the high adsorption capacity of As(V), the synthesized magnetic CuO-Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles have significant potential applications for controlling the risk of p-ASA in wastewater.

The mechanism of direct UV photolysis of p-arsanilic acid (p-ASA), a widely used veterinary drug, was revised by means of laser flash photolysis coupled with high resolution liquid chromatography – mass spectrometry (LC-MS). None of p-ASA triplet state or singlet oxygen was found to directly participate in the photodegradation of p-ASA as it was assumed in previous works. Here we demonstrate that the main primary photoprocess is a monophotonic ionization (ϕ ion 266nm = 0.032) leading to the formation of hydrated electron and corresponding anilinyl cation radical. These primary species react with dissolved oxygen yielding secondary reactive oxygen species . The final organic photoproducts, such as aminophenol and different dimeric products, originate from various reactions between these secondary species. The generation of inorganic arsenic, both As(V) and As(III), was also observed in agreement with previous works. For the first time we report the quantum yield of p-ASA photodegradation, which decreases from 0.058 to 0.035 with the excitation wavelength from 222 to 308 nm.

Phosphorus is an ideal anode material for high-rate lithium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical specific capacity and moderate operating potential. However, phosphorus undergoes tremendous volume expansion and low electrical conductivity during lithium storage, affecting its actual lithium storage performance. The formation of P–C bonds is an effective strategy to inhibit the volume expansion and maintain stable electrical contact between phosphorus and the current collector. Herein, high strength metal nanoparticles, such as molybdenum nanoparticles, are introduced into the ball milling process to reinforce P–C bonding and enhance the lithium storage performance. As a result, the BP/Mo/CNTs anode provides a high-rate capacity of 984 mAh g–1 at 8.0 A g–1 and high capacity retention of 90.3% after 300 cycles at 0.5 A g–1. To demonstrate the universality of this method, BP/W/CNTs nanocomposites were prepared by tungsten-assisted ball milling. This facile strategy provides a practical approach for the formation of abundant covalent bonds to improve the electrochemical performance of composites.

The application of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 is mostly limited by severe charge recombination and low sunlight utilization. Herein, a triazine-based COF with an electron-rich and large π-conjugated system (TCOF) was employed as a building block and integrated with CuInS2 (CIS) to construct a noble-metal-free and high-efficiency photocatalyst for CO2 reduction. The in situ growth of CIS nanosheets on TCOF creates a p–n heterojunction, named CIS@TCOF. Compared with TCOF, the CIS@TCOF heterostructure exhibits a dramatically boosted photocatalytic performance in the reduction of CO2. The produced HCOOH yield over 10 wt % CIS@TCOF can be up to 171.2 μmol g–1 h–1 under visible light irradiation with good reproducibility, which is about 3 times as high as that over TCOF. Further in-depth studies indicate that the introduction of CIS not only enhances the visible light utilization but also restrains the recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs efficiently and facilitates the photoinduced charge transfer via the p–n heterojunction system due to the unique structural and compositional features. This research shows the great potential of COFs as efficient photocatalytic carbon fixation materials and provides a versatile route to construct semiconductor-COF heterostructures for photocatalysis.

p -Aminoazobenzene ( p AAB) is a hazardous azo dye that causes considerable harm to human health and the environment. The development of novel and sensitive sensors for the rapid detection of p AAB is in high demand. In this study, a simple fluorescent sensor for p AAB detection is designed based on carbon dots (CDs) which are prepared using green carbon source of Momordica charantia L. via a facile hydrothermal approach. The fluorescence spectra of CDs exhibit considerable overlap with the absorption band of p AAB, and the fluorescence is specifically suppressed in the presence of p AAB ascribed to the inner filter effect. Good and wide linearity is observed in the p AAB concentration range of 0.01–12.5 μg mL −1 with a lower detection limit of 3.9 ng mL −1 . The established method achieves good results with a rapid analysis of p AAB in different practical water and soil samples. The as-constructed fluorescent sensor provides a simple, rapid, economical and eco-friendly platform and possesses prospective applications for the effective, selective and sensitive detection of p AAB in the environmental field.
