A series of random 6FDA-MFPAP/BAMF co-polyimides with different MFPAP:BAMF molar ratios (2:1, 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3) were synthesized from a novel diamine, 4-(3-methoxy-4-(difluoromethoxy)-phenyl)-2,6-bis(4-aminophenyl)pyridine (MFPAP); a commercial fluorene diamine (BAMF); and a dianhydride, 4,4'-(hexafluoroiso-propyl)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA). The prepared co-polyimides exhibited outstanding thermal performances ( T g > 345 °C, T d > 509 °C), good optical properties (λ cut-off > 342 nm, λ 80% > 410 nm), and hydrophobic properties (contact angle >91.8°). They also showed excellent solubility in both high and low boiling point organic solvents . The pure gas (He, CO 2 , O 2, and N 2 ) permeability of the co-polyimide membranes was measured using the constant volume-variable pressure method. The gas permeabilities of the membranes were superior to those of the commercial Kapton, Matrimid and P84, where the He permeability coefficient of 6FDA-MFPAP/BAMF (2:1) was 55.39 barrer. This can be reasonably explained and supported by the fractional free volume and molecular chain spacing of the polyimides . In addition, the gas transport performances of the copolymers have significantly improved over their corresponding homopolymers (6FDA-MFPAP and 6FDA-BAMF). And the 6FDA-MFPAP/BAMF co-polyimides with 2:1 and 1:1 M ratios of MFPAP/BAMF had the best gas separation performance for the gas pairs He/CO 2 and O 2 /N 2 , respectively, which was close to the Robeson upper limit in 1991.

Berberine (BBR) exerts specific therapeutic effects on various diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and other inflammation-associated diseases. However, the low oral bioavailability (below 1%) of berberine due to its poor solubility and membrane permeability limits its clinical use. In this paper, we have prepared a 1:1 co-crystal berberine-ibuprofen (BJ) using drug salt metathesis and co-crystal technology. Pharmacokinetic studies demonstrate a 3-fold increase in vivo bioavailability of BJ compared to that of BBR, and BJ is more effective in treating obesity and its related metabolism in vitro and in vivo. We also find that BJ promotes mitochondrial biogenesis by inhibiting TBK1 and inducing AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation, and BJ increases adipocyte sensitivity to catecholamine by inhibiting IKKε. Together, our findings support that co-crystal BJ is likely to be an effective agent for treating obesity and its related metabolic diseases targeting TBK1 and IKKε.

Ammonia is a very promising source of carbon-free chemical energy. However, current electrochemical technologies for ammonia use are limited by the kinetically sluggish and easily toxic catalyst surface ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR). Here, we report an AOR catalyst in which Ni, Cu, and Co are highly dispersed on single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (Ni–Cu–Co/CNT) in the form of hydroxides and hydroxyl oxides by using a one-step solvothermal method. Ni–Cu–Co/CNT, with Co doping and a support of the CNT, has shown highly efficient catalytic activity for the AOR in alkaline media. Cyclic voltammetry tests show that the catalyst has an onset potential of 0.3 V vs Ag/AgCl and a peak current of 96 mA cm–2. Density functional theory suggests that the addition of Co and a CNT leads to a lower energy barrier for the critical AOR step, which can be attributed to intermetallic synergy and metal–support interactions formed by the CNT.

Bi 2 S 3 -based materials with low thermal conductivity and high Seebeck coefficient has been regarded as promising thermoelectric materials for years. To optimize the thermoelectric properties of Bi 2 S 3 materials, (Se, Cl)-co-doped nanostructured Bi 2 S 3 bulks were prepared by hydrothermal method combined with spark plasma sintering . The doping contents of Se and Cl in Bi 2 S 3 depend on the reaction time of the hydrothermal process. A high power factor of 450 μWm −1 K −2 was achieved for Bi 2 S 3 sample with the reaction time of 24 h owing to the substitution of S by Se and Cl. Meanwhile, a low thermal conductivity of 0.35 Wm −1 K −1 is obtained for the Bi 2 S 3 sample with the reaction time of 18 h, owing to the strong phonon scattering caused by the high density of grain boundaries, pores and point defect . Therefore, benefiting from the improved electrical transport properties and reduced thermal conductivity, a peak ZT value of ~ 0.57 was obtained at 673 K for the Bi 2 S 3 sample with the reaction time of 24 h.

Antibiotic residue has become an emerging environmental contaminant, while the toxicological effects and underlying mechanisms caused by the co-exposure to multiple veterinary antibiotics were rarely studied. In this study, male Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to monensin (M) (1, 2, 10 mg/(kg·body weight (BW)) combined with sulfamethazine (S) (60, 120, 600 mg/(kg·BW)) or single drugs for 28 consecutive days. The body weight, hematological and blood biochemical parameters, organ coefficients, and histopathology were analyzed to discover their combined toxicity effect. Transcriptomic analysis was used to reveal the possible mechanisms of their joint toxicity. Compared with the control group, the weight gain rate was significantly reduced in the H-M+S and H-S, and alkaline phosphatase in H-M+S was significantly increased. Furthermore, relative liver and kidneys weight was significantly increased, and the liver of H-M+S showed more severe lesions in histopathological analysis. For H-M+S, H-M and H-S, transcriptomic results showed that 344, 246, and 99 genes were differentially expressed, respectively. The Gene Ontology terms mainly differ in sterol biosynthetic process and steroid hydroxylase activity. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome pathways showed abnormal retinol metabolism, metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450, and drug metabolism-cytochrome 450; the common 30 genes were screened from the network of protein-protein interaction. The results showed that mixed contamination of M and S produces hepatotoxicity by interfering with linoleic acid metabolism, retinol metabolism and CYP450 enzyme-dominated drug metabolism. Further analysis showed that Cyp1a2, Cyp2c61, Ugt1a3, and Ugt1a5 might be the key genes. These findings could provide more evidence for investigating the toxic effects and metabolism of mixed antibiotics contamination in mammals.

The phenolics derived from pyrolysis of lignin are important fractions of bio-oil, which could be reformed to generate hydrogen. Nevertheless, some phenolics are value-added chemicals and they might not have to be utilized as source of hydrogen. In this study, we have explored the concept of co-production of hydrogen and phenolics via a pyrolysis-reforming process at the low to medium temperatures of 450–650 °C over Ni/Al 2 O 3 catalyst. The results indicated that, below 500 °C, pyrolysis of lignin was almost the exclusive reaction route to form phenolics of varied side chains. The effective reforming of the phenolics initiated at 600 °C and became remarkable at 650 °C. Meanwhile, cracking of the methoxy group and other side chains of the phenolics was also intense at these higher temperatures, producing phenol as the main phenolic compound. Polymerization of the phenolics on Ni/Al 2 O 3 catalyst occurred from 450 to 650 °C, while the gasification of the precursors of coke accelerated at 650 °C, forming remarkably lower amount of coke together with enhanced yield of hydrogen. The coke formed from the phenolics was generally the polymeric type with abundant aliphatic structures like C–O–C, –OH and -C-H, low thermal stability, low carbon crystallinity , hydrophilic surface and amorphous morphology at 450–650 °C. The polymerization or cracking of the phenolics could form multiple carbon layers in the vicinity of nickel species, and also on alumina .

To enhance the wear resistance of graphene oxide (GO) nano-filled epoxy resin (EP) coatings with excellent dispersion, GO were modified using a co-crosslinking strategy between polydopamine (PDA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) through an environmentally friendly, simple and low-cost process. High-density amino-branched PEI and highly adhesive PDA formed covalent bond cross-links with GO (PDA/PEI-GO) through the Michael addition and Schiff base reactions. With the introduction of amino active sites, the PDA self-polymerization reaction time was significantly shorted from 24 to 6 h. The covalently cross-linked network increased the lamellar spacing of GO and enhanced the interfacial bonds between the PDA/PEI-GO lamellae and EP matrix. Due to the improved dispersion and surface activity of GO, the PDA/PEI-GO nano-filled EP coating exhibited excellent wear resistance. Reciprocating friction with GCr15 stainless steel ball, the average friction coefficient and wear rate of the coating were reduced by 31.9% and 62.7%, respectively, compared to the pure EP coating. In addition, the wear mechanism of the PDA/PEI-GO/EP coating changed from adhesive and fatigue wear to abrasive wear, and it maintained good wear resistance by forming a GO lubrication transfer film on the counterpart surface. Therefore, this study may provide a new strategy for improving the dispersion of graphene in wear-resistant polymer materials for practical applications.

Electrocatalyst is the pivotal component promoting the kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction in aqueous metal-air batteries . However, the content of increased bond as the active species is usually limited by the metal loading, tiny pore canal, insufficient nitrogen further restraining the electrocatalytic effectiveness of single-atom catalysts in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Herein, Co, N-dual doped carbon (Co/NNC) is prepared by a versatile strategy of the combination approach of SiO 2 template with extra nitrogen source. Based on ZIF-67 prepared with the assistance of SiO 2 template, the extra nitrogen source was introduced in the high-temperature pyrolysis procedure. The material characterizations of XRD , SEM, HRTEM , BET, Raman and XPS are conducted to synthetically analyze the functional role of extra nitrogen source. Moreover, the Co/NNC with increased Co-N x active sites is employed into two aqueous metal-air batteries of Zn-air and Mg-air batteries, which exhibits excellent performances especially in the aspects of discharge specific capacity, discharge stability and power density.

Using ion doping to engineer sulfur vacancies over metal sulfides is an effective method to improve photocatalytic properties, such vacancies form the center of the electron-captured state to promote the separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers. In this research, Yb/Er co-doped bulk Cd0.5Zn0.5S (CZS) was fabricated by a one-step simple hydrothermal process, and used for evaluating the catalytic activity for aquatic hydrogen production under visible light irradiation. The results showed that the Cd0.5Zn0.5S:Yb(15%), Er obtained exhibited a higher efficient photocatalytic activity of hydrogen evolution, in which the efficiency of Cd0.5Zn0.5S:Yb(15%), Er (422.0 μmol g−1 h−1) was 2.7 times higher than that of bare Cd0.5Zn0.5S (154.7 μmol g−1 h−1). This can be attributed to the augmented active surface area, the broadened spectral absorption of visible light and the facilitation of the separated efficiency of the photogenerated carriers. This finding provides a simple way to activate the metal-chalcogenides with S-vacancies for optimizing the photocatalytic performance.

Thermal control coatings (TCCs) are an essential part of the thermal control systems in the spacecraft. Solar absorptance and emittance are the key performance parameters of TCCs. To develop an ultra-low solar absorption and stable inorganic TCCs for surface radiator, different TCCs were prepared by co-sintering ZnO and SiO 2 nanoparticles to form Zn 2 SiO 4 /SiO 2 pigment in this work, and the optical properties and radiation stability were systematically studied. It is found that the coating based on composite pigment has high reflectivity in the ultraviolet band and excellent optical performance possessing the low solar absorption of 0.06. In addition, the Zn 2 SiO 4 /SiO 2 coating demonstrates the highest proton and electron radiation stability because that SiO 2 between Zn 2 SiO 4 particles acts as the relaxation center of the defects caused by radiation.

A new nanofiltration composite membrane poly (butyl acrylamide-co-divinylbenzene) (poly-TaDb) was synthesized via a facile photopolymerization on polyetherimide using the monomers of n- tert -butyl acrylamide and divinylbenzene, and evaluated the separation performance in organic solutions. The unique poly-TaDb toplayer has a feature of branch structure containing regularly distributed oxygen and nitrogen groups that work as the interacting sites with metal ions (Fe 3+ , Zn 2+ , and Cu 2+ ), as reflected by the characterizations of ATR-FTIR, XPS, AFM, etc. Without the metal ion treatment, the optimal poly-TaDb membrane shows the permeance of 31, 17, 20.4 L m −2 h −1 MPa −1 respectively for organic solutions of tetrahydrofuran (THF), methanol (MeOH) and acetonitrile (ACN), with the rejection rates higher than 90% toward EB dye (879.8 g.mol −1 ). After interacting with these metal ions, the obtained Fe-binding poly-TaDb membranes possess higher permeance, with the THF, MeOH, and ACN permeance enhanced respectively to 113, 35, and 24.2 L m −2 h −1 MPa −1 , meanwhile maintaining high dye rejection rate. While the Cu- and Zn-binding membranes show much higher permeance but lower dye rejection rate. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations disclose that the void size of the toplayer network increases in the order of: the pristine (11.40 Å) < Fe-binding (11.54 Å) < Zn-binding (11.60 Å) < Cu-binding membrane (11.63 Å). It is the suitable void size and charge density distribution in the toplayer network of Fe-binding membrane. that results in the superior nanofiltration performance. This work provides a facile route to explore new polymeric network materials for highly effective separation performance in organic solvents.

Transition metal oxalates have attracted people's attention owing to their low cost, low lithium insertion potential and high theoretical reversible capacities. Disappointingly, high irreversible capacity thanks to the formation of SEI as well as the consumption and exfoliation of active materials during the process of cycling severely restrict its application of it. In this work, a comprehensive evaluation of Co, Ni, Cu and Zn doped manganese oxalate was made. All samples are synthesized via facile and time-saving microwave hydrothermal method . It is intriguing that merely 30 min is required to accomplish the entire process and all samples possess fine electrochemical performance. As far as the four bimetallic oxalates, the resulting Mn 0·5 Ni 0·5 C 2 O 4 exhibits the optimum performance (746.2 mA h g −1 after 100 cycles at 0.2 A g −1 and 546.7 mA h g −1 at 1 A g −1 after 400 cycles), which can be attributed to one-dimensional rod-like morphology of Mn 0·5 Ni 0·5 C 2 O 4 as well as the synergistic and catalytic effect of Mn and Ni, resulting in faster electrode kinetics . Mn 0.5 Ni 0.5 C 2 O 4 displays incalculable potential and can be applied in the highly reversible lithium-ion batteries.
