Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 are emerging as promising photovoltaic materials due to their outstanding photoelectrical performances, benign grain boundaries, and Earth-abundant constituent elements. However, there are largely distributed cation-disordering defects and defect clusters, which lead to an increase in recombination and a large open-circuit voltage deficit and thus deteriorate device performance. Herein, defect control for a high-efficiency Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 solar cell by atomic layer deposition of aluminum oxide (ALD-Al 2 O 3 ) on the precursor film is reporter. Cu Zn defects and Sn-related deep defects are largely suppressed because of the decrease in Sn 2+ and the increase in Sn 4+ in the film by ALD-Al 2 O 3 on the precursor are found, and the crystallinity of absorber layer is improved from a double-layer structure to a completely single-layer structure. Furthermore, the carrier lifetime and recombination in the bulk and interface are significantly improved for devices with ultrathin Al 2 O 3 . Using this approach, the conversion efficiency increases from 8.8% to 11.0% and the open-circuit voltage deficit decreases from 0.621 to 0.577 V. Herein, a deep understanding of the relationship between Al 2 O 3 incorporation and high-efficiency Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 devices and a new direction for controlling defects to further improve the performance of kesterite solar cells are provided.

Carbohydrate antigen 72-4 (CA72-4) is an important biomarker associated closely with diagnosis and prognosis of early gastric cancer. How to realize quick, sensitive, specific, and quantitative detection of CA72-4 in clinical specimens has become a great requirement. Herein, we reported a CdSe/ZnS quantum dot-labeled lateral flow test strip combined with a charge-coupled device (CCD)-based reader was developed for rapid, sensitive, and quantitative detection of CA72-4. Two mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against CA72-4 were employed. One of them was coated as a test line, while another mAb was labeled with quantum dots and coated onto conjugate pad. The goat anti-mouse IgG was immobilized as a control line. After sample was added, a sandwich structure was formed with CA72-4 and these two mAbs. The fluorescent signal from quantum dots (QD)-labeled mAb in sandwich structure was related to the amount of detected CA72-4. A CCD-based reader was used to realize quantitative detection of CA72-4. Results showed that developed QD-labeled lateral flow strips to detect CA72-4 biomarker with the sensitivity of 2 IU/mL and 10 min detection time. One hundred sera samples from clinical patients with gastric cancer and healthy people were used to confirm specificity of this strip method; results showed that established strip method own 100 % reproducibility and 100 % specificity compared with Roche electrochemiluminescence assay results. In conclusion, CdSe/ZnS quantum dot-labeled lateral flow strips for detection of CA72-4 could realize rapid, sensitive, and specific detection of clinical samples and could own great potential in clinical translation in near future.

Carbon has been widely used as a catalyst support and adsorbent in industry. However, it suffers from poor stability due to its limited mechanical strength, particularly under high pressures and temperatures. We report here a carbide derived carbon (CDC) layer on a porous SiC surface, which has the properties of high mechanical strength and is easy to shape. The CDC exhibits an amorphous structure and contains mainly mesopores with a BET surface area of 125 m2 g−1. The CDC–SiC composite yields a comparable performance to coconut activated carbon (AC) as a catalyst support in the probe reaction hydrogenation of 4-carboxybenzaldehyde. The further introduction of TiO2 nanoparticles enhances the activity and stability significantly because of the improved dispersion of Pd particles on CDC–SiC. The activity is 4 times higher than the Pd/AC catalyst. Pd–TiO2/CDC–SiC shows great promise as an alternative to the current AC supported Pd catalyst for the crude terephthalic acid hydropurification industry.

Excellent crystallinity and uniform composition distribution of the Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) absorber are indispensable factors for the fabrication of photovoltaic device with excellent performance. Here, a facile and effective method is developed to improve the composition uniformity of CZTSSe absorber. It is inspiring that by replacing the acetates with chlorides as the solutes in the precursor solution , the issue of the composition non-uniformity especially for the distribution of Cu and Sn, which is ascribed to the rich-carbon in the acetate-based CZTSSe absorber, is able to be avoided. Due to less organic residues and composition uniformity, the grain size and the crystallinity of absorber could be significantly enhanced, and the photovoltaic performance of chloride-based CZTSSe solar cell is improved remarkably. Furthermore, substituting CuCl 2 with CuCl as the copper source in the precursor solution is able to obtain a stable solution, and the quality of CZTSSe absorber is further improved. As a consequence, 8.48% efficient CZTSSe solar cell has been yield.

We on report an eco-friendly molecularly imprinted material based on carbon dots (C-dots) via a facile and efficient sol–gel polymerization for selective fluorescence detection of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). The amino-modified C-dots were firstly synthesized by a hydrothermal process using citric acid as the carbon source and poly(ethyleneimine) as the surface modifier, and then after a sol–gel molecular imprinting process, the molecularly imprinted fluorescence material was obtained. The material (MIP-C-dots) showed strong fluorescence from C-dots and high selectivity due to the presence of a molecular imprint. After the detection conditions were optimized, the relative fluorescence intensity (F 0 /F) of MIP-C-dots presented a good linearity with 4-NP concentrations in the linear range of 0.2 − 50 μ mol L -1 with a detection limit (3σ/k) of 0.06 μmol L -1 . In addition, the correlation coefficient was 0.9978 and the imprinting factor was 2.76. The method was applicable to the determination of trace 4-NP in Yangtze River water samples and good recoveries from 92.6–107.3 % were obtained. The present study provides a general strategy to fabricate materials based on C-dots with good fluorescence property for selective fluorescence detection of organic pollutants.
An eco-friendly molecularly imprinted fluorescence sensor based on carbon dots (C-dots) (poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) as the surface modifier) was prepared via a facile and efficient sol–gel polymerization (3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as the functional monomer and tetramethoxysilane (TEOS) as the cross linker) for selective fluorescence detection of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP).

A novel visible light sensitized photoelectrochemical sensing platform was constructed based on the perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid/titanium dioxide (PTCA/TiO 2 ) heterojunction as the photoelectric beacon. PTCA was synthesized via facile steps of hydrolysis and neutralization reaction, and then the PTCA/TiO 2 heterojunction was easily prepared by coating PTCA on nano-TiO 2 surface. The resulting photoelectric beacon was characterized by transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, FTIR spectroscopy, and ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometer. Using parathion-methyl as a model, after a simple hydrolyzation process, p-nitrophenol as the hydrolysate of parathion-methyl could be obtained, the fabricated derivative photoelectrochemical sensor showed good performances with a rapid response, instrument simple and portable, low detection limit (0.08 nmol L −1 ) at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3, and good selectivity against other pesticides and possible interferences. It had been successfully applied to the detection of parathion-methyl in green vegetables and the results agreed well with that by GC–MS. This strategy not only extends the application of PTCA, but also presents a simple, economic and novel methodology for photoelectrochemical sensing.

Background The active ingredient of Gastrodia elata , 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (4-HBd), can rapidly enter the brain and undergo massive oxidation to produce the metabolite 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA), which has no significant activity after equal dose gavage. It is crucial to clarify the metabolic pathway of 4-HBd and its correlation with the anti IS mechanism. Objective To explore the possible mechanism of 4-HBd in clearing ROS and protecting BBB from oxidative stress damage during brain metabolism from the perspective of ROS response. Method A rat model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and a cellular oxidative stress response model were replicated to simulate the accumulation process of ROS in the brain. The changes in ROS and peroxidation products before and after 4-HBd intervention were detected, and the changes in oxidative metabolism were also measured to confirm the correlation between antioxidant stress damage and ROS capture/clearance in oxidative metabolism. Result 4-HBd has significant antioxidant stress resistance both in vitro and in vivo, and can reduce the levels of MDA and 4-HNE in ischemic brain tissue. It can capture O2·- and ·OH in vitro and use the captured ROS to oxidize and metabolize 4-HBA. Conclusion The oxidative metabolism process of 4-HBd in the brain is one of its mechanisms for exerting antioxidant stress damage and protecting BBB.

A novel ferric chloride immobilized poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) catalyst was developed via a coordination chemistry-based approach. The pyridine moiety of poly(4-vinylpyridine) spheres functioned as the nitrogen donor to bind iron ions, as well as to decrease the amount of pyridine used in the catalytic reaction system. The monodispersed catalyst was well dispersed in the organic solvent during the catalytic procedure, taking advantage of its nanomorphology and uniform size. The catalytic activity of various monodispersed catalysts based different mass fractions of the divinylbenzene (DVB) was investigated, meanwhile the capacities of supported Fe(III) in the various catalysts were also discussed. The P4VPDVB 10% -Fe(III) catalyst exhibited high catalytic activity in the benzylic oxidation of benzylic methylenes and secondary benzylic alcohols. It was easily separated from the reaction system and reused several times without obvious degradation of catalytic activity. Moreover, leaching tests suggested that the as-synthesized P4VPDVB 10% -Fe(III) catalyst was a true heterogeneous catalyst without significant metal leaching.

The peroxydisulfate (PDS)-based advanced oxidation process (AOP) has attracted great attention as an effective technique for oxidatively decomposing organic pollutants. g-C 3 N 4 , an excellent photocatalyst, has been studied to activate PDS, but the rapid photogenerated electron-hole recombination severely impedes its photocatalytic performance. Herein, highly efficient point-defect engineering by doping atoms as well as vacancies was adopted to modulate photoinduced exciton dissociation kinetics. We successfully synthesized C-doped carbon nitride (xC-g-C 3 N 4 ) by a one-step copyrolysis method using glucose and melamine as raw materials. C-doped carbon nitride can act as an electron bridge for electron transfer, leading to xC-g-C 3 N 4 with a wider light absorption range (from 475 nm to 527 nm), narrower band gap (from 2.76 eV to 2.66 eV) and higher charge separation efficiency (from 3.79 μA/cm 2 to 3.22 μA/cm 2 ). The enhanced visible light absorption performance and the reduced electron-hole pair recombination rate of xC-g-C 3 N 4 can efficiently initiate PDS. The obtained xC-g-C 3 N 4 catalyst exhibited superior photocatalytic activation performance of PDS for 4-CP degradation under visible light illumination. The degradation rate of 4-CP reached 88.3 %, with a total organic carbon (TOC) removal rate of approximately 87.9 %, which increased by 67.9 % and 160 %, respectively. This study highlights a new effective method of carbon doping in g-C 3 N 4 for activating PDS in the degradation of 4-CP.

This study successfully prepared a novel high-entropy MAX phase (Ti 1/4 V 1/4 Zr 1/4 Nb 1/4 ) 2 AlC and conducted a comprehensive investigation of its microwave absorption performance. The material was synthesized using a pressure less sintering method, and by optimizing the selection of raw materials and synthesis processes, high purity, and excellent microwave absorption performance were achieved. The composition, structure, morphology, and electromagnetic parameters of the material were analyzed in detail using characterization methods such as XRD, SEM, EDS, TEM, XPS, and vector network analyzer (VNA). Experimental results exhibit that (Ti 1/4 V 1/4 Zr 1/4 Nb 1/4 ) 2 AlC can achieve a lowest RL of -62.56 dB at a thickness of 2.25 mm with frequency of 13.26 GHz, demonstrating outstanding microwave absorption capabilities. The study also explored the microwave absorption mechanisms of grown material, including conductivity, dipole polarization relaxation processes, internal lattice defects, and magnetic loss. This research not only delivers new approaches and development of effective microwave absorption materials but also lays the foundation for subsequent studies on MXene and more multi-element high-entropy MAX phase materials.

The serious problems caused by water contamination call for efficient treatment. The catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) by NaBH 4 in solution is a convenient way to convert 4-NP to 4-aminophenol (4-AP), which is a precious intermediate for manufacturing of important materials such as pharmaceuticals. In the present study, the Co modified MoS 2 supported Au nanoparticles (Au/Co-MoS 2 ) is proved to be an efficient catalyst for the reduction of 4-NP. With the introduction of cobalt, the catalytic activity is improved obviously compared to Au/MoS 2 . When Co:Mo is 2:8 (mol), the Au/CoMoS 2 (2/8) catalyst exhibits the highest activity. The kinetics of the catalytic reactions were studied by the plot of ln(C t /C 0 ) against reaction time and the k app for Au/CoMoS 2 (2/8) is 1.063 min −1 . The characterization of the catalysts shows that the addition of cobalt can create more crystal defects, promote the exposure of active edge sites, facilitate the surface of catalysts to be more reactive.

A new dinuclear terbium complex [Tb 2 (4-msal) 6 (H 2 O) 4 ]·6H 2 O ( 1 ) (4-msal = 4-methylsalcylate) was synthesized. Its structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, and the complex was characterized by PXRD, FT-IR, fluorescence, TGA and DTA. Complex 1 exists as discrete molecules that are linked by extensive O–H … O hydrogen bonds into a 3D network. The luminescence lifetimes of 3 μ m methanol solution and solid sample of 1 are 1.321 and 1.009 ms, respectively. The quantum yield of solid sample is 6.0%. The luminescence quenched more than 50% when 3% (vol/vol) different impurities (acetone, acetonitrile, chloroform, dichloromethane, dioxane, DMF, DMSO, ethanol, ether, ethyl acetate, glycol, H 2 O, hexane, TEA, THF and toluene or their mixture) were added. The inverse linear relationship between the L g value of fluorescence intensity and the volume ratio of the minor component (to a maximum of 20%) is interpreted in terms of L g I = a − bX ( I : luminescence intensity; X : volume ratio of impurities in methanol; a , b are constants). So 1 is a potential luminescent sensor for analyzing the purity of methanol.
