In this paper, we propose a highly efficient surface modification strategy on an AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT), where ethanolamine (EA) was utilized to functionalize the surface of GaN and provided amphoteric amine groups for probe molecular immobilization for bioassay application. The molecular gated-AlGaN/GaN HEMT was utilized for pH and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) detection to verify its performance as a biosensor. Benefitting from the high coating quality on the GaN surface, the performance of our biosensor is drastically improved compared to other AlGaN/GaN HEMT based pH and PSA biosensors reported before. Our molecular gated-AlGaN/GaN HEMT biosensor has achieved good static electrical performance for pH sensing, such as high sensitivity, good linearity and chemical stability. Moreover, after further immobilization of PSA antibody onto the EA aminated GaN surface, the limit of detection (LOD) for PSA detection is as low as 1 fg mL−1 in PBS buffer, which has reached an at least two orders of magnitude decrease compared to any other AlGaN/GaN HEMT based PSA biosensor reported before. And the sensitivity of our PSA biosensor has achieved a substantial increase, reaching up to 2.04% for 100 ng mL−1. The measurements of pH and PSA utilizing the EA modified AlGaN/GaN HEMT biosensor indicate that the surface modification strategy on the GaN proposed in this paper can effectively improve the performance of the AlGaN/GaN HEMT based biosensor, which demonstrates a promising application prospect in the AlGaN/GaN HEMT based biological detection field.

In this paper, hollow Ni − P nanospheres (NSs) are prepared through Ni electroless plating on the Au-activated silica NSs externally covered by aminopropyl moieties, followed by removing the silica template with sodium hydroxide. With various characterizations, the resulting hollow Ni − P NSs are identified to be amorphous alloy. During liquid-phase hydrogenation of sugars to sugar alcohols, the hollow Ni − P amorphous alloy NSs delivered much superior catalytic performances to the commercial Raney Ni catalyst, showing a good potential in practical applications. Of particular interest is the unique hollow chamber structure of the hollow Ni − P amorphous alloy NSs, which allows for improving catalytic activity and durability relative to those associated with the dense Ni − P amorphous alloy NSs. This work demonstrated that such hollow Ni materials with nanoporous chamber structure displayed advantages such as easy experimental handling and high accessibility for the reactants in liquid-phase reaction, more Ni active sites, as well as the existence of more electron-enriched inner surface, which is essential to provide highly efficient catalysts for some reactions.

Hydrogen has great promise as an energy carrier superior to traditional fossil fuels. Electrochemical water splitting is expected to be an effective and sustainable method for producing high-purity hydrogen fuel cleanly. The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is the cathodic reaction in the electrochemical water-splitting process and requires efficient catalysts. However, the state-of-the-art Pt suffers from high cost and rare reserves, which significantly limit its extensive applications in the hydrogen evolution reaction for water splitting. Although its catalytic activity still falls far short of expectations, molybdenum sulfide has emerged as one of the most promising catalysts for HER due to its abundant reserves and high tunability. Here, we have reported the synthesis and HER catalytic performance of a hybrid lanthanum sulfide/molybdenum sulfide (La2S3–MoS2) catalyst. The formation of molybdenum sulfide nanosheets in situ with lanthanum sulfide deposition was achieved through a facile one-pot solvothermal strategy. The present catalyst displayed much superior activity for HER to pristine and commercial molybdenum sulfide; low overpotentials of 205 mV, 277 mV, 336 mV and 455 mV for the current densities of 10 mA cm−2, 50 mA cm−2, 100 mA cm−2 and 200 mA cm−2 were obtained, respectively, together with a low Tafel slope of 51 mV dec−1. Moreover, the present catalyst exhibited excellent stability in long-term hydrogen evolution. The remarkable HER performance might be mainly due to the expanded interlayer distance and the nano-interfaces between the molybdenum sulfide and lanthanum sulfide segments, which induced an increased exposure of active sites and a modified surface electronic structure.

According to the concept of fire life cycle assessment (LCA), a new type of intumescent flame retardant was designed and synthesized by chemically bonding chitosan, phosphorus pentoxide and melamine. The resultant compound, chitosan ethoxyl melamine phosphate (CEMP), was characterized by FTIR, 1 H NMR, 31 P NMR, XRD and SEM. The performance of CEMP and organic montmorillonite (OMMT) was evaluated in the substrate of epoxy resin (EP) with limited oxygen index (LOI), UL-94, cone calorimetric test (CCT), TGA and TG-IR. As a result, intumescent flame retardant EP (EP3) containing 30.6% LOI and V-0 rating was prepared by adding 3 wt% OMMT and 15 wt% CEMP. The CCT results indicated that CEMP and OMMT reduced the peak of heat release rate (PHRR) to about one fourth that of pure EP and total heat release (THR), 1/2. Decomposition of EP and EP3 was traced from 100 to 600°C by TG-IR.

With an absorption edge as far as 690 nm, SrNbO2N holds great promise for solar energy conversion. However, very poor photocatalytic activity is generally seen for SrNbO2N, limiting its practical applications as a photocatalyst. In this work, SrNbO2N is modified by introducing Zr at B sites, i.e. SrNb1−xZrxO2+yN1−y (0 ≤ x ≤ 1), which are then investigated as photocatalysts for water oxidation reactions. Zr modification not only induces porous microstructures and inhibits the formation of Nb4+ defects, but it also ameliorates the surface hydrophilicity of SrNbO2N. Clear improvements in photocatalytic water oxidation have been realized after Zr modification and an apparent quantum efficiency of as high as 1.44% has been achieved. Further analysis of the band edge alignments suggests that Zr modification positively shifts the valence band edge of SrNbO2N, which favors water oxidation reactions.

The Co–C3N4/BiPO4 photocatalyst is facilely synthesized for application in photocatalytic water splitting. The physical and chemical properties of Co–C3N4/BiPO4 are studied by a wide range of characterization methods. The Co–CN/BP photocatalyst shows good photocatalytic activity for H2 evolution by water splitting without using a noble metal. The Co–C3N4/BiPO4 composite with 5 wt% Co–C3N4 loading exhibits a superior photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 23.9 μmol h−1 g−1. The remarkable enhancement of the photocatalytic H2 evolution activity of Co–C3N4/BiPO4 composites is mainly ascribed to the effective charge transfer and separation of the electron–hole pairs by the lattice-matched heterojunction structure. This work extends opportunities for the design of non-noble metal photocatalysts with efficient photocatalytic water splitting.

para-Xylene (PX) is a basic building block of polyethylene terephthalate, which is currently produced from petroleum resources. Developing a renewable route to PX is highly desirable to address both economic and environmental concerns. Several attempts used noble metal catalysts, e.g. Pd/Al2O3, to synthesize PX from biomass-derived 4-methyl-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxaldehyde (4-MCHCA), but suffered from a severe decarbonylation reaction, resulting in toluene as the main product. In this paper, we report an FeOx modification strategy to suppress the decarbonylation reaction on a Pd/Al2O3 catalyst, leading to a drastic shift in selectivity towards PX with a yield up to 81% via a cascade dehydroaromatization–hydrodeoxygenation (DHA–HDO) pathway. Characterization and control experiments revealed that the electron density of Pd sites decreased in an FeOx-modified Pd/Al2O3 catalyst compared to Pd/Al2O3, thus tuning the preferential adsorption mode of the substrate from η2-(C,O), the key transition state of the decarbonylation reaction, to the η1-(O) mode that favors the hydrodeoxygenation process. Notably, this designed catalyst is highly stable and is readily applicable in the selective synthesis of a broad range of desired aromatic chemicals via the same DHA–HDO pathway from cyclohex-3-enecarbaldehyde derivatives. Overall, this work develops a controllable catalyst modification strategy that tailors an efficient catalyst for petroleum-independent bio-PX synthesis.

A key challenge in environmental remediation is the design of adsorbents with appropriate pore size and accessible sorption sites to achieve the rapid uptake and high capacity for the removal of their target pollutants. Covalent organic framework (COF) materials with adjustable pore size and designed skeleton structure are a new class of adsorbent materials for environmental remediation. Here, a novel COF was synthesized by a mild solvothermal solution-suspension method for efficient Pb (II) removal from aqueous solution. The prepared COF material displayed a typical lamellar structure , and the sulfhydryl groups on the COFs skeleton were confirmed to behave as active adsorption sites for Pb (II) capture. Sulfhydryl functionalized COF (COF-SH) reached adsorption equilibriums within 48 h and had a maximum adsorption capacity for Pb (II) of 239 mg/g based on Langmuir fitting. The adsorption capacity of COF-SH for Pb (II) removal is much higher than that of other conventional adsorbents, such as shell activated carbon and resin. Moreover, the selective adsorption performance of COF-SH to Pb (II) in the presence of coexisting heavy metal is superior, and its unique properties are derived from its soft sulfur-based chelating groups allowing selective capture of soft or relatively soft metal ions . The results presented here reveal the exceptional potential of COFs for high performance in environmental remediation.

Developing economically viable and highly selective hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) catalysts for the C–O bond cleavage of lignin-derived aryl ethers is very important, but still challenging. Herein, a novel monometallic Fe2P catalyst was synthesized by a two-stage phosphorization method under mild conditions, which showed a high arene (benzene) selectivity of 96.7% among C6+ products with a turnover frequency of 8.2 × 10−3 mol molCO−1 s−1 in the HDO of anisole at 200 °C and ambient hydrogen pressure. Characterization results revealed that the crystal structure of the Fe2P catalyst was stable and no phosphorus loss occurred in the reduction and reaction process. The kinetic results indicated that the coverage of anisole was higher than that of H2 on the Fe2P catalyst. The anisole temperature-programmed surface reaction (anisole-TPSR) and density functional theory (DFT) calculation results identified that the anisole HDO reaction mechanism is the direct cleavage of the Caryl–O bond of anisole to form and CH3O* without forming the C6H5–OH–CH3 intermediate. These findings may contribute toward understanding the iron-based phosphide and guiding the catalyst design for the HDO of aryl ethers and related reactions.

Toxicity and environmental issues have elicited research attention regarding the need to prepare a green flame retardant with high flame retardancy. Here, a supermolecular self-assembly technology was used to prepare nickel phytate as shell materials aggregated on aminated silica nanotemplates through electrostatic interactions as a green novel flame retardant (Ni@SiO2-PA). After incorporating the obtained core–shell structured Ni@SiO2-PA into epoxy resin (EP), the supermolecular shell effectively enhanced the adhesive property between the nanoparticles and the EP matrix. The thermal stability was improved, and the peak heat release rate decreased significantly after introducing the well-characterized Ni@SiO2-PA. The absorbance intensity of the toxic aromatic compounds also decreased. Moreover, the char yield of the EP composites was improved because of the synergetic coupled effects between the nickel phytate supermolecules and SiO2 nanotemplates. The possible fire-retardancy mechanism was hypothesized as follows. The crosslinking structure of the silica initially enabled the formation of a polymer network to prevent further decomposition. The N–P synergistic flame-retardancy system then generated a gas barrier and P-rich intumescent char. Besides, char-residue generation was catalyzed by introducing Ni2+, which isolated the heat and the exchange between oxygen and the matrix. Overall, this study proposes a novel green flame retardant that may enable significant improvements in preparing environmentally friendly organic–inorganic materials with applications in the fields of flame-retardant composites.

An enzyme electrocatalytic p16 protein (AGp16INK4a) immunosensor based on polymethylene blue (PMB) decorated on functional composite modified glassy carbon electrode (PG-GR-CS/GCE) is constructed successfully. The PG-GR-CS having good conductivity and large specific surface area is composed of graphene (GR) doped polycaprolactam 6 (PA6) electrospun nanofibers (PG), GR and chitosan (CS), which could serve as a stable electropolymerization substrate for increasing the amount of PMB. The active catalytic electrode (PG-GR-CS-PMB/GCE) was used as the platform for the construction of an electrocatalytic immunosensor, it can greatly increase the immobilization capacity of AGp16INK4a capture antibody (Ab1), and further catch the AGp16INK4a and horseradish peroxidase-labeled detection antibody (HRP@Ab2) through the sandwich immunoreaction. The PMB decorated on PG-GR-CS/GCE exhibited good electron transfer and electrochemical properties, which could apply as electrocatalytically nanomaterials. Thus, the amplified electrocatalytic response were produced by the reduction of enzymatically oxidized PMB in the presence of hydrogen peroxide via HRP. It was observed that the change of the differential pulse voltammetry of the PMB was proportional to the AGp16INK4a ranging from of 1.0 pg ml−1 to 1.0 ng ml−1. The detection limit was down to 0.5 pg ml−1. The successful immunosensor provides a promising alternative to the electrocatalytic detection of various tumor markers.
