Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as ozonation and Fenton processes are widely used in the treatment of high-salt wastewater. The UV/O 3 pressurization process was designed and applied at the pilot-scale for treatment of actual high-salt textile wastewater. The UV/O 3 pressurization process achieved the highest decolorization (85 %) and chemical oxygen demand (COD Cr , 43.2 %) removal efficiency at an O 3 dosage of 200 g·t −1 and a pressure of 0.2 MPa. Compared to ordinary ozonation, the UV/O 3 pressurization process improved the solubility and gas-liquid mass transfer efficiency of O 3 in wastewater and generated a large number of O 3 microbubbles. Hydroxyl radical (·OH), superoxide radicals (O 2 · − ) and single oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) all played a significant role on the removal of pollutants in wastewater during the UV/O 3 pressurization process. The reverse osmosis (RO) process was used to evaluate the effect of UV/O 3 pressurization and Fenton pre-oxidation processes on the desalination process as the last process in treating high-salt organic wastewater. The pre-oxidation processes improved the initial RO water flux . Compared with the Fenton process, the UV/O 3 pressurization process had less membrane fouling (thin fouling layer vs thick fouling layer), and final water flux (59.4 LMH) was higher than that of Fenton process (34.9 LHM). The total dissolved solids (TDS), Cl − and SO 4 2− of the effluent from UV/O 3 pressurization process (37.2, 7.6 and 3.0 mg·L −1 ) were better than that of Fenton process (65.7, 13.9 and 7.1 mg·L −1 ). Therefore, the UV/O 3 pressurization process without secondary pollution is more suitable for the advanced treatment of high-salt organic wastewater than the Fenton process.

Smart functional fillers can significantly enhance the comprehensive properties of ionic hydrogels, such as their mechanical properties, which are key features of hydrogels in wearable sensor applications. As a plant-derived natural polymer, hemicellulose can serve as smart functional fillers. In this study, tannic acid-modified hemicellulose nanoparticles (TA@HC) and Fe3+ were used in the preparation of PAA/TA@HC/Fe3+ hydrogels. The addition of TA@HC and Fe3+ in the sodium persulfate (SPS) and acrylic acid (AA) polymerization system resulted in a fast gelation process that was completed within a short time (as short as 30 s) at room temperature. The catechol-rich TA and Fe3+ system allows for quick activation of SPS to produce free radicals, generating abundant hydroxyl groups in a short period of time, which was responsible for the fast gelation. Furthermore, due to the TA@HC effect and the dynamic catechol (TA)-Fe3+ redox system, the PAA/TA@HC/Fe3+ hydrogel exhibited excellent mechanical properties with an exceptionally high strain (as high as 5600%), adhesiveness, rapid and efficient self-healing ability, and reproducible self-adhesion onto various substrates. More importantly, asymmetric adhesive PAA/TA@HC/Fe3+ hydrogels were prepared by selective Fe3+ coating of the upper hydrogel surface to render the top surface nonadhesive so that the same hydrogel with different adhesiveness between the upper and bottom surfaces was obtained. The asymmetric adhesive hydrogel design permits the adhesive side to fit comfortably to the skin and the nonadhesive side showing anti-interference against various different pollutant materials, accurately serving as a pressure sensor.

Spore forming bacteria (SFB) are strongly chlorine resistant. Their presence in drinking water may cause diseases and pose threat to public health. Three SFB strains, i.e. Bacillus alvei, Bacillus cereus , and Lysinibacillus fusiformis , were isolated and identified from the finished water of a drinking water treatment plant where bacteria colonies occasionally reached the limit value. Due to their chlorine resistance, a SFB control strategy coupling pre-oxidation, coagulation sedimentation, and UV-AOPs inactivation in water treatment process was studied in lab scale. Five minutes pre-oxidation treatment by applying Cl 2 and ClO 2 induced remarkable spore transformation. Longer pre-oxidation exposure time didn't have apparent improvement. Cl 2 and ClO 2 dosages of 0.9 mg/L and 0.5 mg/L were suggested, respectively. The formed spores can be efficiently removed by the following coagulation sedimentation treatment. At a suggested dosage combination of 20 mg/L PAC and 0.08 mg/L PAM, spore removal efficiency reached about 3.15-lg. Comparing to applying sole UV irradiation, enhanced UV inactivation by adding 0.1 mM H 2 O 2 , or Cl 2 , or peroxymonosulfate (PMS) substantially improved the inactivation of the most chlorine resistant SFB strain, Lysinibacillus fusiformis . UV-AOPs stably achieved 2-lg inactivation rate at UV dosage of 40 mJ/cm 2 . UV/H 2 O 2 , UV/Cl 2 and UV/PMS inactivation kinetically enhanced 1.20 times, 1.36 times and 1.91 times over sole UV irradiation. Intracellular DNA and ATP leakages were detected, and remarkable damages of Lysinibacillus fusiformis cells’ surface and ultrastructure were observed. These findings evidenced cell wall and cell membrane destructions, guaranteeing substantial SFB cells inactivation. This study was carried out based on three SFB strains isolated from a finished water, and common engineering practical operations. By providing engineeringly relevant references, the outcomes obtained would be helpful for dealing with SFB outbreak risk in drinking water treatment .

4-Methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC), a typical organic UV filter (OUVF) in personal care products, is considered to be a potential endocrine disruptor due to its estrogenic activity and bioaccumulation. Although 4-MBC residues have been extensively identified in aquatic waters, little is known about their occurrence, levels, and potential risk in coastal waters. This study developed a reliable sampling approach, based on diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) with XAD-2 as the binding agent, for monitoring 4-MBC in coastal waters. The diffusion coefficients of 4-MBC in freshwater and artificial seawater were 3.65 × 10 −6 cm 2 /s and 3.83 × 10 −6 cm 2 /s, respectively. XAD-2 binding gel showed rapid adsorption to 4-MBC. The accumulated masses of 4-MBC in XAD-2 DGT increased linearly with deployed time for 7 days in freshwater and seawater, which agreed well with theoretical predictions. The sampling performance was independent of ionic strength (0.0001–0.5 M), pH (4.0–8.5), and dissolved organic matter (0–20 mg/L). Field deployment in the river estuary and bathing beach showed that DGT-measured 4-MBC concentrations were consistent in comparison with grab sampling. Environmental risk assessment showed that 4-MBC may pose a medium risk to aquatic organisms based on computed risk quotient (RQ) values. Sewage discharge is the main source of 4-MBC risk, while the residue in recreation beaches contributes more significantly in summer. The established DGT sampling is suitable for seasonal monitoring, source identification, and risk assessment of 4-MBC in coastal waters. Graphical abstract

Background Quantitation analysis and chromatographic fingerprint of multi-components are frequently used to evaluate quality of herbal medicines but fail to reveal activity of the components. It is necessary to develop a rational approach of chromatography coupled with activity detection for quality assessment of herbal medicines. Methods An on-line HPLC-ultraviolet detection-2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) free radical scavenging (HPLC-UV-ABTS) method was developed to obtain the chromatographic fingerprints and ABTS +• inhibition profiles (active fingerprints) of Rehmanniae Radix (Dihuang) and Rehmannia Radix Praeparata (Shu Dihuang). Eighteen compounds showing ABTS +• inhibition activity were identified by HPLC-fourier-transform mass spectrometry (HPLC-FTMS). Verbascoside was used as a positive control to evaluate the total activities of the samples and the contribution rate of each compound. The similarities of the chromatographic and active fingerprints were estimated by the vectorial angle cosine method. Results The results showed that the HPLC-UV-ABTS method could efficiently detect antioxidant activity of the herbal medicine samples. The antioxidants were different between the two herbs and several new antioxidants were identified in Shu Dihuang. A function equation was generated in terms of the negative peak area (x) and the concentrations of verbascoside (y, μg/mL), y = 2E-07 × 4 - 8E-05 × 3 + 0.0079 × 2 + 0.5755x + 1.4754, R 2 = 1. Iridoid glycosides were identified as main antioxidants and showed their higher contributions to the total activity of the samples. The total contributions of the three main active components in the Dihuang and Shu Dihuang samples to the total activity, such as echinacoside, verbascoside and an unknown compound, were 39.2–58.1% and 55.9–69.4%, respectively. The potencies of the main active components in the Shu Dihuang samples were two to ten times those in the Dihuang samples. Similarity values for S12 in the chromatographic fingerprints and S03, S12 and P03 in the active fingerprints were less than 0.9. The three batches of samples might show their different quality with the other samples. Conclusions The results suggested that the combination of “quantity-effect” research strategy and the HPLC-UV-ABTS analysis method could comprehensively evaluate the active components and quality of Dihuang and Shu Dhuang.

In this study, cloud point extraction (CPE) combined inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to determinate silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in environmental water. AgNPs dispersed in water could be extracted into surfactant phase based on optimized CPE parameters which including pH, incubation temperature and equilibration time, the content of nonionic surfactants (Triton X-114, TX-114) and Na 2 S 3 O 3 . Good separation results of AgNPs and ionic silver Ag(I) in aqueous environment was obtained with the addition of Na 2 S 3 O 3 when the concentration of Ag(I) was lower than ten times of AgNPs. High recoveries of different diameter AgNPs spiked into ultrapure water were obtained. The influence of environmentally relevant matrix on CPE of AgNPs was studied in detail. Our results showed that there were little interference of environmentally relevant ions and five representative engineering nanomaterials (ENMs) on CPE of AgNPs. Moreover high recoveries and good separation were obtained when natural organic matter (NOM) up to 30 mg/L mixed with AgNPs in ultrapure water. The detection limit of AgNPs in water using CPE combined ICPMS was 5 ng/L. The recoveries of the AgNPs spiked into natural and effluents water with this method were in the range of 79±1–123±13%. Furthermore CPE-ICPMS and Single particle-ICPMS were used to study the UV induced photochemical transformations of AgNPs suspension at environmental relevant concentrations.

Narrow-band red phosphors excited by near-ultraviolet light (n-UV) are significant for enhancing the R9 index and can produce high color rendering white LEDs. A range of KSr 1-x-y Ca y PO 4 :xEu 3+ red phosphors were synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reaction method. We investigated the effects of partially substituting Sr 2+ ions with Ca 2+ ions on the phosphors' crystal structure, photoluminescence and thermal stability. Significantly, incorporating Ca 2+ ions enhances the luminescent properties and thermal stability. Under n-UV light excitation, all samples exhibit red emission around 614 nm, corresponding to the 5 D 0 → 7 F 2 transition of Eu 3+ ions. At the doping concentration of Eu 3+ ions (x = 0.08), an optimal KSr 0.52 Ca 0.4 PO 4 :0.08Eu 3+ (y = 0.4) sample was obtained. The excitation wavelength exhibited a slight violet shift from 398 nm to 396 nm. At 150 °C, the luminescence intensity of KSr 0.92 PO 4 :0.08Eu 3+ remains 80.1 % of its value at room temperature, while that of KSr 0.52 Ca 0.4 PO 4 :0.08Eu 3+ reaches 89.7 %. White LED device can be fabricated by combining the as-prepared KSr 0.52 Ca 0.4 PO 4 :0.08Eu 3+ red phosphor with commercial BaMgAl 10 O 17 :Eu 2+ blue and (Ba, Sr) 2 SiO 4 :Eu 2+ green phosphors, along with encapsulation using n-UV LED chip (395–400 nm). The device emits bright white light and exhibits a high color rendering index (Ra = 87.6, R9 = 89.8) and suitable correlated color temperature (CCT = 5523 K) at 300 mA drive current. The results demonstrate that this work provides new application prospects for the fabrication of high color rendering white LEDs using n-UV light.

Additive manufacturing is advancing rapidly and gaining widespread adoption across various industries. Although ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) hold significant promise, their tendency to agglomerate in photosensitive resins presents a challenge, obstructing the UV-curing process in 3D printing. In response to this, we have innovatively developed a PUA-based functional photosensitive resin for 3D printing, which incorporates highly dispersible Organosilicon@ZnO-NPs. These nanoparticles exhibit smaller sizes and a more uniform distribution, achieved through the spray sedimentation method. Using Digital Light Processing (DLP), the resin demonstrated enhanced mechanical properties, including a tensile strength of 75.188 MPa (a 96.34 % improvement), a flexural modulus of 2223.276 MPa (a 71.81 % improvement), as well as high-precision 3D-printed material. The material also exhibited efficient broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties (99.64 % against E. coli and 98.93 % against S. aureus ) and strong UV-shielding performance (97.32 % UV-blocking rate). Mechanistically, the improvement in mechanical properties is attributed to the role of Organosilicon@ZnO-NPs, which function similarly to an amine chain extender. This allows them to establish a robust hydrogen bonding network within the PUA-based photosensitive resin and react with free –NCO groups in the system. The antimicrobial and UV-shielding effects stem from the combined actions of Organosilicon@ZnO-NPs, which disrupt bacterial cell membranes, release Zn 2 ⁺ ions, and scatter and absorb UV light. This study paves the way for novel applications of ZnO-NPs in UV-curing 3D printing, opening new avenues for innovation.

Heterojunction phototransistor (HPT) is considered the most promising detector technology in weak ultraviolet (UV) signal detection due to its inherent internal gain through transistor action. However, achieving high-performance self-powered UV HPTs remains a significant challenge. In this study, a high-performance self-powered p + -GaN/n − -ZnO/Au UV HPT with ZnO serving as the floating base is cleverly designed. The device features a unique back-to-back configuration of the p + -GaN/n − -ZnO heterojunction and n − -ZnO/Au Schottky junction, along with an ultrathin ZnO base layer of a 3D nanowire network structure. This design enables the fabricated p + -GaN/n − -ZnO/Au UV HPT to operate in a self-powered mode with exceptional performance metrics. Under zero bias, the device exhibits outstanding characteristics including ultralow dark current of 1.7 × 10 −13 A, remarkable I photo /I dark ratio of 10 6 , fast response speed (t r = 150 µs / t f = 250 µs), high responsivity of 9.74 A W −1 , and detectivity of 1.58 × 10 14 Jones, representing the best result achieved for UV HPTs thus far at zero bias. Moreover, the fabricated UV HPT is successfully demonstrated in solar-blind imaging and UV communication systems without the need for an external power supply. This work presents effective and practical design strategies for achieving high-performance self-powered UV HPTs.

Recently, the utilization of the cellulose to fabricate the multifunctional materials with aim to replace the petroleum-based product, is receiving significant attentions. However, the development of cellulose-based multifunctional materials with high mechanical strength and temperature resistance is still a challenge. Herein, the intrinsic feature and property of cellulose and rosin were creatively employed to fabricate a novel cellulose-rosin based poly(esterimide) (PEI) by esterification reaction and imidization reaction, and the obtained cellulose-rosin derived PEI exhibits superior thermal stability. Then the as-prepared cellulose-rosin derived PEI was dissolved in polymerizable deep eutectic solvents (PDES) and in-situ formed the ionic conductive elastomer (ICE) with via UV-induced polymerization. These cellulose-rosin based ICE exhibited excellent mechanical properties, solvent resistance, and temperature tolerance. By adjusting the mass ratio of cellulose-rosin derived PEI and PDES, the as-prepared liquid-free ICE functions as UV shadowless adhesive and wearable sensors. The bonding strength of UV shadowless adhesive could 1.52 MPa, which could be applied to fix the broken glass toy models. Furthermore, wearable sensors based those ICE could monitor the large and subtle movements even under extreme environmental condition, such as being soaked in organic solvent (such as tetrahydrofuran) or at low/high temperature (−25 °C or 80 °C). This work opens a new avenue for the next-generation of multifunctional ICE.

A novel Yb 3+ /Er 3+ co-doped BiOBr photocatalyst with 3D flowerlike hierarchical architectures were successfully fabricated through self-assembled process without any templates under hydrothermal conditions, and the structure and properties of the photocatalysts were characterized. The results indicate that Yb 3+ ions and Er 3+ ions are successfully doped into the lattice of BiOBr, and the as-obtained photocatalyst can respond the NIR light and emit red and green light due to the up-conversion effect of the rare-earth ions. Meanwhile, with co-doped Yb 3+ /Er 3+ ions content increasing, oxygen vacancy concentration in the photocatalyst rises. The oxygen vacancy will form the intermediate energy band, which can decrease the photon energy required for electronical transition, and thus help to utilize the luminous energy generated by up-conversion luminescence. Moreover, the appropriate introduction of defects (oxygen vacancy defect and impurity atom) can further promote the transfer and separation efficiency of photo-generated carriers. Hence, Yb 3+ /Er 3+ co-doped BiOBr photocatalyst exhibits enhanced photocatalytic properties under broad spectrum (UV/vis/NIR) excitation, which is about 4 times as high as that of pure BiOBr.

To solve the problem of electromagnetic radiation pollution, it is especially important to develop electromagnetic wave-absorbing materials with excellent performance. The preparation of composite multifunctional textile materials with excellent wave-absorbing properties is one of the research hotspots for practical personal protection applications. In this work, PPy/Fe 3 O 4 /rGO polyester/cotton composite fabrics were prepared by impregnation, chemical reduction, chemical co-precipitation and in situ polymerization. When the thickness is 0.97 mm, the minimum reflection loss ( RL min ) of PPy/Fe 3 O 4 /rGO polyester/cotton composite fabric is −12.12 dB, and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) is 4.7 GHz, which is excellent in wave absorption. Meanwhile, the PPy/Fe 3 O 4 /rGO polyester/cotton composite fabrics have excellent UV resistance (UV transmittance ratio of UVA and UVB bands as low as 0.02 %, UPF value of 100+), antistatic properties (static voltage half-life of 0.2 s), and excellent thermal management properties (thermal conductivity as low as 0.05796 W/(m·K)), and so on. The PPy/Fe 3 O 4 /rGO polyester/cotton composite fabrics prepared in this study are suitable for a variety of application scenarios, such as individual electromagnetic protection, individual protection in extremely cold environments, and individual heating physiotherapy, which is of great reference significance for the research of wearable individual protective textile materials.
