The preparation of high-efficiency perovskite light-emitting devices (PeLEDs) in the air-ambient has always been a challenge. Herein, the authors propose a Si-based near-infrared air-processed PeLED through the anti-solvent engineering. Two materials, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF 6 ) are co-doped into the anti-solvent, the former protects the perovskite from degradation in a high-humidity atmosphere, and the latter passivates the defects on perovskite surface and increases the conductivity. Through the anti-solvent engineering, the efficiency of PeLEDs has been significantly enhanced and obtains a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 10.4%, which is the highest among similar devices. This work shows that it is possible to prepare high-efficiency near-infrared PeLEDs in air-ambient through a simple method.

Electrochemical water splitting to produce clean hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) has emerged as an advanced technology to build a sustainable society. Low-cost electrocatalysts with excellent performance are required to improve the energy efficiency in overall water splitting. Here, a Co-W-B-P/CF catalyst with a nanoflower-like structure consisting of microspheres and nanoflakes was successfully synthesized using a one-step double-pulse electrodeposition approach. When used as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting, Co-W-B-P/CF presented the potentials of 1.57 and 1.86 V at current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm–2 in 1.0 M KOH solution, respectively. This was even comparable to that of the high-cost commercial catalyst Pt/C(−)//IrO2(+). Detailed electrochemical tests also showed that the kinetics, electron transfer, and intrinsic electrocatalytic activity of Co-W-B-P/CF in the HER (hydrogen evolution reaction) and the OER (oxygen evolution reaction) were dramatically improved due to the synergetic effect of co-doped B and P elements. Considering the excellent electrocatalytic performance of Co-W-B-P/CF, along with the simple synthesis method and low cost, bifunctional electrocatalyst Co-W-B-P/CF for overall water splitting is promising.

The development of highly tolerable metal catalysts to polar monomers is of fundamental importance for the metal-catalyzed copolymerization of ethylene and industrial polar vinyl monomers under mild conditions but still remains a scientific challenge. In this paper, a neutral tridentate α-sulfonato-β-diimine nickel catalyst with an apical SO3–Ni coordination was initially designed and synthesized in three dimensions. Combining advantages of cationic diimine and neutral phosphine-sulfonato-type catalysts, the α-sulfonato-β-diimine nickel catalyst showed good thermostability and controllability as well as high tolerance toward polar alkyl acrylates. Copolymerization of ethylene and methyl acrylate (MA) produced branched ethylene–methyl acrylate (EMA) copolymers with both high molecular weight (Mn > 20 × 103) and high MA incorporation (up to 10 mol %), whose branching structure was similar to commercial EMA industrially prepared by radical polymerization under harsh polymerization conditions. Density functional theory calculations were also performed to illuminate the formation of the EMA copolymer with terminal MA units.

Lead ion is a common heavy metal pollutant and extremely harmful to human health. Therefore, the research about the adsorption and removal of lead ion from sewage and the development of lead ion sorbents keeps greatly significant. In this study, poly(acrylic acid- co -acrylonitrile) (PAAN) cryogels were prepared by cryo-polymerization. After the treatment with hydroxylamine, the amidoximated PAAO cryogels were applied to remove lead ion from lead-contaminated water. The porous structure and high water permeability of the cryogel could fully facilitate the exposure of active sites to efficiently adsorb lead ion. PAAO cryogels showed a high adsorption capacity of 450 mg/g for lead ion. After the first adsorption–desorption cycle, the adsorption capacity of PAAO cryogels regenerated with alkali solution increased to 650 mg/g and remained in the next six cycles. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the intraparticle diffusion model fit the adsorption kinetics of lead ion well, indicating its chemi-sorption feature of PAAO cryogel sorbent. The FTIR and XPS studies suggested that carboxyl group of acrylic acid unit as well as the amidoxime group of modified AN unit contributed the enhanced adsorption ability for lead ion.

Novel blue pigments based on Ba 0.956 Mg 0.912 Al 10.088- x Ni x O 17 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) and Ba 0.956 Mg 0.912 Al 10.088- x Co x O 17 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) solid solutions were successfully synthesized by solid state method. The XRD results confirmed the structure of the as-synthesized sample belongs to hexagonal β -alumina structure with the space group of P 6 3 / mmc. The d-d electron transitions in Ni 2+ /Co 2+ tetrahedral sites in the visible light range are the reason for the blue colors. Then, the as-prepared blue oxides were sintered with ZrO 2 powders at 1400 °C to prepare blue zirconia ceramic materials. Based on XRD and SEM analysis, the pigment phase is stable after high-temperature sintering with ZrO 2 , and a clear grain boundary is observed. The XCT results indicate the prepared blue ceramics are dense and very small pores are rarely distributed inside the blue zirconia ceramic body. Additionally, the mechanical properties of the fabricated blue ceramics were maintained compared to pure ZrO 2 ceramic.

Catalytic conversion of renewable cellulose, instead of fossil resources, to high-value ethylene glycol (EG) is of great significance for reducing considerable worries regarding the energy problem. However, the EG production from cellulose is dependent on Ni and Ru based catalysts. Herein, encapsulated Co@C catalyst was firstly applied for EG production from cellulose combined with tungstic acid (TA). The mixing of the two catalysts in different ratios was compared and well-controlled, and the highest 67.3% yield of EG can be achieved. TA is used mainly to promote both the cellulose hydrolysis and the retro-aldol reaction of glucose to glycolaldehyde. Co@C catalysts are responsible for the hydrogenation of glycolaldehyde to EG. Compared with traditional noble metals and composite catalysts, the inexpensive and easily synthesized Co@C catalysts could greatly reduce the cost of production of EG. The Co@C catalysts encapsulated with outside graphene layers can keep high stability for at least 6 runs.

Cellobiose, a natural disaccharide, attracts extensive attention as a potential functional food/feed additive. In this study, we present an inorganic phosphate (Pi) self-sufficient biotransformation system to produce cellobiose by co-expressing sucrose phosphorylase (SP) and cellobiose phosphorylase (CBP). The Bifidobacterium adolescentis SP (BASP) and Cellvibrio gilvus CBP (CGCBP) were co-expressed in Escherichia coli. Escherichia coli cells containing BASP and CGCBP were used as whole-cell catalysts to convert sucrose and glucose to cellobiose. The effects of reaction pH, temperature, Pi concentration, and substrate concentration were investigated. In the optimum biotransformation conditions, 800 mM cellobiose was produced from 1.0 M sucrose, 1.0 M glucose, and 50 mM Pi, within 12 hr. The by-product fructose and residual substrate (sucrose and glucose) were efficiently removed by treatment with yeast, to help purify the product cellobiose. The wider applicability of this Pi self-sufficiency strategy was demonstrated in the production of laminaribiose by co-expressing SP and laminaribiose phosphorylase. This study suggests that the Pi self-sufficiency strategy through co-expressing two phosphorylases has the advantage of great flexibility for enhanced production of cellobiose (or laminaribiose).

A multifunctional microspheric soil conditioner based on chitosan-grafted poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid)/biochar [CS-g-P(AM-co-AA)/BC] was prepared. First, the P(AM-co-AA) was synthesized and successfully grafted onto CS, and the three-dimensional network structure of microspheres was formed with N,N-methylenebis(acrylamide) as the cross-linking agent according to the inverse suspension polymerization method. Meanwhile, BC and urea were encapsulated into the body of microspheres during the polymerization. The structure of the microspheres was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, polarized optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy, and the mechanism of adsorption of Cu2+ on the microspheres was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Furthermore, the experimental results demonstrated the excellent water absorption and retention capabilities of microspheres, and the release rate of urea was dramatically reduced. Importantly, the introduction of BC significantly enhanced the adsorption performance of the microspheres with respect to heavy metal ions. Consequently, the multifunctional soil conditioner held promise for use in soil improvement and agricultural production.

Matrine (MAR), oxymatrine (OMAR), and sophoridine (SPD) are natural alkaloids with varying biological activities; matrine was recently used for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the short half-lives and rapid elimination of these matrine-type alkaloids would lead to low oral bioavailability and serious side effects. Herein, resveratrol (RES) was selected as a co-former to prepare their co-amorphous systems to improve the therapeutic index. The formation of co-amorphous MAR-RES, OMAR-RES, and SPD-RES was established through powder X-ray diffraction and modulated temperature differential scanning calorimetry. Furthermore, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and NMR studies revealed the strong molecular interactions between resveratrol and these alkaloids, especially OMAR-RES. Matrine, oxymatrine, and sophoridine in the co-amorphous systems showed sustained release behaviors in the dissolution experiments, due to the recrystallization of resveratrol on the surface of co-amorphous drugs. The three co-amorphous systems exhibited excellent physicochemical stability under high relative humidity conditions. Our study not only showed that minor structural changes of active pharmaceutical ingredients may have distinct molecular interactions with the co-former, but also discovered a new type of sustained release mechanism for co-amorphous drugs. This promising co-amorphous drug approach may present a unique opportunity for repurposing these very promising drugs against COVID-19.Keywords:co-amorphous systems;sustained-release;COVID-19;matrine-type alkaloids;resveratrol

The improper disposal of large amounts of solid waste (SW) has led to serious ecological and environmental problems, especially heavy metal (HM) pollution. Converter steelmaking has the potential to co-process SW, but the distribution of heavy metals (HMs) during converter steelmaking is unclear. In this study, the effects of smelting temperature and slag alkalinity on the distribution of typical HMs in the SW of steel samples, steel slag , and the gas phase were investigated in a specially-made induction furnace. The results showed that upon increasing the smelting temperature, As (As 2 S 3 ) was mainly distributed in the steel sample, and the HM-containing compounds Cr 2 O 3 , CrCl 3 , ZnCl 2 , ZnS, ZnO, PbCl 2 , PbS, and PbO were mainly distributed in the gas phase. Upon increasing the alkalinity within a certain range, the distribution of HMs in steel samples and steel slag increased gradually, while their distribution in the gas phase decreased. Thermodynamic calculations , Eh-pH diagrams, XRD patterns, and XPS spectra indicated that impurity elements in the hot metal and the CaO content affected the chemical reactions by which HM-containing compounds in the steel sample formed elemental HMs and those in steel slag existed as oxides; therefore, it is necessary to choose a suitable temperature and alkalinity for slag when disposing of different types of SW.

Oxaliplatin (OXA) and rapamycin (RAPA) combination therapy have shown the advantages of synergistically inhibiting the growth of cancer cells by enhancing apoptosis in cancerous cell lines. However, drug resistance and the lack of an orally administered formulation which exhibited the best clinical dosing compliance limited the clinical application of this regimen. Here, we report a nanogel-polymersomes drug delivery system (i.e.TMOR-CDAN) based on modified chitosan, chitosan diacetate (CDA), methoxy-poly-(ethylene glycol)-b-poly (lactide) (MPP), and D-alpha-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) with permeation-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibition capability for enhancing the oral chemotherapy efficacy of erroneously soluble RAPA and its synergistic chemotherapy with OXA. Hydrophilic OXA and hydrophobic RAPA were co-loaded using MPP and TPGS-based polymer capsules (i.e. TMOR), which were further coated by chitosan-modified gel to form TMOR-CDAN. The TMOR-CDAN displayed higher stability in both acidic and basic pH than free OXA and RAPA and could withstand the harsh gastric environmental conditions, preventing the burst drugs release while releasing the co-loaded drugs in a sustained and controlled manner. The dual-drug-loaded TMOR-CDAN provides a bifunctional platform for synergistic tumor therapy. Compared with the single drug OXA, RAPA, or the OXA and RAPA mixtures (OR), the TMOR-CDAN showed more outstanding in vitro cytotoxicity and in vivo antitumor chemotherapeutic efficacy, endowing the TMOR-CDAN with a prodigious potential for futuristic cancer chemotherapy .

Tungsten-based nitrides are ideal hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts owing to their Pt-like electronic structures, high electrical conductivity, and good corrosion resistance. However, the conventional preparation of tungsten-based nitride electrocatalysts suffers from environmentally hazardous sources and high-temperature nitridation processes, which usually restrict HER activity. Herein, we report the direct synthesis of W 2 N on metal–organic framework (MOF)-derived Co-NC microarrays using magnetron sputtering. Co-NC microarray support increased the number of surface activity sites that were exposed to W 2 N. Moreover, the formation of Co-NC@W 2 N Schottky heterojunctions significantly facilitated charge transfer between Co-NC and W 2 N. The Co-NC@W 2 N heterojunctions showed outstanding HER activity with an overpotential of 55 mV in reaching a current density of 10 mA cm −2 . Notably, Co-NC@W 2 N exhibited superior HER performance to Pt/C catalyst at high current densities. This study provides a simple and environmentally friendly approach for fabricating high-performance metal-nitride catalysts for water splitting.
