Catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) is one of the most promising strategies to transform oxygen-rich biomass derivatives into high value-added chemicals and fuels, but highly challenging due to the lack of highly efficient nonprecious metal catalysts. Herein, we report for the first time of a facile synthetic approach to controllably fabricate well-defined Ni-Co alloy NPs confined on the tip of N-CNTs as HDO catalyst. The resultant Ni-Co alloy catalyst possesses outstanding HDO performance towards biomass-derived vanillin into 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol in water with 100% conversion efficiency and selectivity under mild reaction conditions, surpassing the reported high performance nonprecious HDO catalysts. Impressively, our experimental results also unveil that the Ni-Co alloy catalyst can be generically applied to catalyze HDO of vanillin derivatives and other aromatic aldehydes in water with 100% conversion efficiency and over 90% selectivity. Importantly, our DFT calculations and experimental results confirm that the achieved outstanding HDO catalytic performance is due to the greatly promoted selective adsorption and activation of C=O, and desorption of the activated hydrogen species by the synergism of the alloyed Ni-Co NPs . The findings of this work affords a new strategy to design and develop efficient transition metal-based catalysts for HDO reactions in water.

The rising popularity of co-electrospinning technique in the field of biomaterial has enabled the possibility of combining various polymers, in which they provide the mechanical properties and the bioactivity for each other. Herein, a series of polycaprolactone/gelatin (PCL/Gel) composite membranes were prepared by co-electrospinning, and their biocompatibility and drug-controlled release ability were evaluated in detail for the first time. The addition of Gel significantly enhanced the adhesion and differentiation of osteoblasts, while the addition of PCL significantly improved the mechanical properties. Moreover, the in vitro degradation and drug release results showed that by adjust the PCL fibers amount and size, the degradation of Gel and the release profile of hydrophilic drugs/proteins could be effectively controlled: in the low PCL groups (PCL/Gel-1 & PCL/Gel-4), the Gel nano-fibers dissolved rapidly, resulting in an early explosive release within 1 week; however, with the increase of PCL content, the drug release rate decreased gradually, and the total release period could be extended to over 2 weeks (PCL/Gel-2, PCL/Gel-3 & PCL/Gel-5) or more (PCL/Gel-6). Therefore, the preparation of a controllable drug delivery system with good biological activity by co-electrospinning of PCL and Gel could provide an effective strategy for bone regeneration.

Hyperbranched polyethyleneimine (PEI) holds great potential for membrane-separation materials owing to the dendritic structure. However, their utilization in constructing antifouling anion exchange membranes (AEMs) remains significant challenge. Herein, a novel strategy of employing hyperbranched PEI to design antifouling AEMs was demonstrated. Hyperbranched PEI and dopamine were co-deposited on the surface of AEMs to prepare antifouling AEMs. Dopamine can easily form polydopamine (PDA) and enhance the hydrophilicity and electronegativity of membrane surface. The hydrophilic and electronegative membrane surface enabled the ability to block foulants, endowing the AEMs with improved antifouling performance. Meanwhile, the dendritic structure of hyperbranched PEI tended to assemble the low-barrier pathway for ion transport and maintained the desalination performance of AEMs. Thus, the obtained PEI-1800&PDA/AEM achieved 1.93 times variation of the electrical conductivity for diluted solution of commercial AEM after antifouling experiment, while the variation is close to that of commercial AEM after desalination experiment. This study offers new insight into fabricating hyperbranched PEI-based membranes for high-performance materials.

Owing to the low-cost, dendrite-free formation, and high volumetric capacity, rechargeable Li + /Mg 2+ hybrid-ion batteries (LMIBs) have attracted great attention and are regarded as promising energy storage devices. However, due to the strong Coulombic interaction of Mg 2+ with host materials, the traditional “Daniell Type” LMIBs with only Li + intercalation usually cannot ensure a satisfactory energy density. Herein, graphene monolayers are arranged intercalating into MoS 2 interlamination to construct van der Waals heterostructures (MoS 2 /G VH). This operation transforms the construction of ion channels from pristine interlamination of two MoS 2 monolayers to the interlamination of MoS 2 monolayer with graphene monolayer, thereby greatly reducing ion diffusion energy barriers. Compared with pristine MoS 2 , the MoS 2 /G VH can obviously reduce the migration energy barriers of Li + (from 0.67 to 0.09 eV) and Mg 2+ (from 1.01 to 0.21 eV). Moreover, it is also demonstrated that MoS 2 /G VHs realize Li + /Mg 2+ co-intercalation even at a rate current of 1000 mA g −1 . As expected, the MoS 2 /G VH exhibits superior electrochemical performance with a reversible capacity of 145.8 mAh g −1 at 1000 mA g −1 after 2200 cycles, suggesting the feasibility of potential applications for high-performance energy storage devices.

In this work, we report AuNPs-decorated pyrolyzed Co-BDC nanosheets (p-Co-BDC/AuNPs) as high-performance electrocatalyst for developing an electrochemical platform. p-Co-BDC/AuNPs as a new electrocatalyst showed superior electrocatalytic activity towards the electrochemical oxidation of methylene blue (MB). Besides, magnetic p-Co-BDC/AuNPs can be well immobilized on the magnetic glassy carbon electrode without further assistance. The oxidation of MB can be reduced by ascorbic acid . Inspired by this phenomenon, an electrochemical biosensor was constructed based on multiple signal amplification for the diagnosis of miRNAs . Firstly, p-Co-BDC/AuNPs enhanced the electrochemical oxidation of MB. Then, strand displacement amplification reaction can form lots of double helix structure DNA to embed more MB molecules. Finally, ascorbic acid in the electrolyte was utilized to reduce the oxidation of MB and improve the electrochemical signal of MB electro-oxidation. The linear detection range for the detection of miRNAs is 100 aM to 10 nM, and the limit of detection is 86 aM. Furthermore, the constructed biosensor also displayed satisfactory selectivity , good reproducibility, and excellent recovery in the detection of real samples. We are convinced that our proposed multiple signal amplification strategy will provide more promising methods for the diagnosis of cancer.

Noble-metal nanostructures are promising for biosensing applications owing to their fantastic physicochemical properties, but the rational design of their easy-accessible and reactive surface is still challenging. This work is devoted to the interfacial engineering of Ag-Pd alloys, including tuning alloy composition and geometric structure, to promote the electrochemical biosensing performance. Through a co-tuning tactic with controlled reduction, channel-rich Ag 1 Pd 3 alloys with optimal electronic configurations and accessible active surface are successfully obtained, which afford high sensitivity, outstanding selectivity and excellent repeatability to detect H 2 O 2 and glucose biomarkers. As experimentally and theoretically evidenced, tailoring the composition of Ag-Pd alloys ameliorates electronic configurations due to ligand effects, which can optimize the binding with the key intermediate of OH*, and thereby boost electrochemical kinetic steps on surface. Meanwhile, tuning geometric structure with abundant channels enables fast transport of analytes toward largely-exposed active sites. Providing an atomic-level interpretation of structure-dependent biosensing, this work is anticipated to offer guidelines for the development of efficient sensing platforms.

TiO 2 –ZrO 2 -codoped MgO–B 2 O 3 –Al 2 O 3 –SiO 2 glass-ceramics were prepared using the traditional melting method. The effects of replacing TiO 2 with ZrO 2 on the glass stability (GS), crystallization behavior, structures, and properties of the obtained samples were studied. Results showed that the addition of ZrO 2 increased the GS, which decreased the crystallization ability of the samples. When the heat treatment temperature was increased from 900 °C to 1000 °C, the mullite and quartz phases first precipitated in the glass matrix, and then converted into cordierite. Because of the low solubility of TiO 2 and ZrO 2 in this glass system, the rutile and zircon phases will precipitate from the parent glasses. Owing to changes in the composition and structure of the samples, the density and Vickers hardness increased, while the coefficient of thermal expansion of the samples first decreased and then increased when TiO 2 was replaced with ZrO 2 .

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.

Y 0.16 Zr 0.84 O 1.92 nanopowders were co-precipitated from the mixed solution of zirconium oxychloride and yttrium nitrate using ammonia as the precipitant. The influences of terminal pH value on the chemical composition and morphology of the Y 0.16 Zr 0.84 O 1.92 precursors and powders were characterized. The precursors with terminal pH = 8.5–9.25 completely transform to cubic ZrO 2 phase when calcined at 800 °C. The Y 0.16 Zr 0.84 O 1.92 powder with terminal pH = 9.0 shows the best dispersity, which is beneficial to the fabrication of transparent ceramics. Using the synthesized nanopowders as starting materials, Y 0.16 Zr 0.84 O 1.92 ceramics were prepared by pre-sintering at 1350 °C for 2 h in air and HIP post-treatment at 1800 °C for 3 h under 200 MPa Ar without sintering additives. The Y 0.16 Zr 0.84 O 1.92 ceramic sample fabricated from the powder with terminal pH = 9.0 shows the best optical quality, and its in-line transmittance exceeds 56.4% in the region of 400–850 nm, reaching 67.8% at 800 nm.

It is a great challenge to regulate the mechanical properties precisely with both softness and toughness so as to match the requirements of various flexible device applications. Inspired by the three-dimensional network of collagen in connective tissues, a novel biopolymer poly(caprolactone-co-urethane) with hierarchical cross-links was synthesized on the basis of polycaprolactone (PCL) and composite chain extenders of tannic acid (TA) and 1,4-butanediol (BDO). The biopolymer P(CL-TAx/BDOy) possesses both physical and chemical cross-links in coordination with phase separation microstructure, sensitive to the molar ratio of TA/BDO. The optimal P(CL-TA1/BDO1) shows connective tissue-like properties, possesses an initial modulus less than 0.5 MPa but high toughness (61.2 MJ m–3), unique adhesive property, and shape memory behavior. A flexible actuator was prepared by P(CL-TA1/BDO1), exhibiting the shape transformation behavior by an electricity stimulation. This work provides a novel facile method to design biopolymers, including tuning the mechanical properties and integrating multifunctions through the hierarchical cross-link strategy.

Highly crosslinked organic–inorganic hybrid polymer poly(cyclotriphosphazene-co-melamine) microspheres (PZM) were synthesized by a simple method. The microspheres was characterized by FTIR, SEM and EDX. It was applied to eliminate thorium(IV) from aqueous solution under various conditions, i.e., pH, initial concentration, dosage and contact time. The experimental data were well-imitated via the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and its adsorption processes comply with the Langmuir isotherm model. Adsorption thermodynamic studies demonstrated that the adsorption process, in essence, was spontaneous and endothermic. Furthermore, the maximum experimental adsorption capacity was 98.6 mg g −1 for initial thorium(IV) concentration 50 mg L −1 . When pH = 0.0, the thorium(IV) removal efficiency reached at 76.9%, which indicates that the adsorbent can also was used in a peracid environment. Adsorption behavior of thorium(IV) onto the microspheres were weakly affected via temperature, implying that adsorption would be done at room temperature.

Electrochemical water splitting (EWS) is a highly clean and efficient method for high-purity hydrogen production. Unfortunately, EWS suffers from the sluggish and complex oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics at anode. At present, the efficient, stable, and low-cost non-precious metal based OER electrocatalyst is still a great and long-term challenge for the future industrial application of EWS technology. Herein, we develop a simple and fast approach for gram-scale synthesis of flower-like cobalt-based layered double hydroxides nanosheet aggregates by ultrasonic synthesis, which show outstanding electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline media, such as preeminent stability, small overpotential of 300 mV at 10 mA·cm −2 and small Tafel slope of 110 mV·dec −1 .
