We reported an one-pot ultrasonic-assisted method for the preparation of palygorskite nanorods/Super P Li carbon nanoparticles-graphitized carbon nanotubes (PNRs/SPCNPs-g-CNTs) nanocomposite, which was used to modify the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the fabrication of PNRs/SPCNPs-g-CNTs/GCE sensor. For the PNRs/SPCNPs-g-CNTs nanocomposite, PNRs with good stability presented large specific surface area and high adsorption, which promoted the enrichment of NA molecules on the electrode surface. SPCNPs with pearl chain-like nanostructure exhibited good electrical conductivity , and the combination of SPCNPs and g-CNTs with high graphitization degree formed an interconnected carbon conductive network with excellent electrical conductivity, which enhanced the charge transport efficiency. Moreover, the interconnected carbon conductive network of SPCNPs-g-CNTs not only promoted the dispersion degree of PNRs but also made up for the poor conductivity property of PNRs. When used for the detection of niclosamide (NA), an acceptable limit of detection (3.6 nM) was achieved at the PNRs/SPCNPs-g-CNTs/GCE sensor in linear NA concentration range of 0.01–10 μM. The PNRs/SPCNPs-g-CNTs/GCE sensor exhibited good reproducibility, repeatability, and anti-interference performance. For the practicability measurement, the fabricated sensor showed good practicability with satisfactory recoveries (97.0–102.7%) and low RSD values of 0.99–4.78% for the detection of NA in tap water and lake water samples.

Graphene-based materials have been regarded recently as a promising substance for electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices owing to their unique structure and extraordinary properties. Herein, an enormously facile one-step pyrolysis approach is reported for the fabrication of ternary (P,S,N)-doped graphene, which is further investigated as an efficient metal-free electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Furthermore, optimized ternary-doped graphene can deliver excellent ORR catalytic activity that favors the four-electron ORR process and outstanding long-term durability (90.54% current retention after 20000 s which is far superior to that of commercial Pt/C) owing to the preferable synergetic coupling effect between P, S and N. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to reveal the synergetic coupling effect between doping elements in the ORR process. This work provides an extremely simple one-step pyrolysis method for the synthesis of P,S,N-doped graphene for electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices.

Electroflotation-membrane separation system with a conductive membrane has recently emerged as a promising technology for oily wastewater treatment . However, the conductive membrane prepared by electroless plating often suffers the problems of low stability and high activation cost. To solve these problems, this work proposed a new strategy regarding surface metallization of polymeric membrane by surface nickel-catalyzed electroless nickel plating of nickel‑copper‑phosphorus alloys for the first time. It was found that, addition of copper source remarkably enhanced the membranes' hydrophilicity, corrosion resistance and fouling resistance. The Ni-Cu-P membrane had an underwater oil contact angle of up to 140°, and simultaneously possessed rejection rate > 98 % with rather high flux of 65,663.0 L·m −2 ·h −1 and excellent cycling stability when separating n-hexane/water mixtures under gravity drive. The permeability is higher than the state-of-the-art membranes for oil/water separation. The Ni-Cu-P membrane as the cathode can be assembled into an electroflotation-membrane separation system, allowing to separate oil-in-water emulsion with 99 % rejection. Meanwhile, the applied electric field significantly improved membrane flux and fouling resistance (flux recovery up to 91 %) when separate kaolin suspensions. Polarization curve and Nyquist curve analysis further confirmed that addition of Cu element obviously enhanced corrosion resistance of the Ni modified membrane. This work provided a novel strategy to make up high-efficiency membranes for oily wastewater treatment.

The construction of efficient Z-scheme heterojunctions is considered as a promising approach to improve the transfer and separation of photogenerated carries in the field of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water splitting. Herein, a novel ZnIn 2 S 4 /P-Ni-MOF-74 with Z-scheme heterostructure is successfully fabricated from rhombic P-Ni-MOF-74 derived from Ni-MOF-74 through phosphorization treatment and ZnIn 2 S 4 flakes via a hydrothermal method . The Z-scheme ZnIn 2 S 4 /P-Ni-MOF-74 heterojunctions can provide abundant active centers, broaden the response range to visible light region, accelerate the transfer of interfacial charges, and suppress the recombination rate of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. As a result, ZnIn 2 S 4 /P-Ni-MOF-74 (20 wt% P-Ni-MOF-74) acquires a hydrogen production rate of 7865.31 μmol g −1 h −1 , which is 4.46 times higher than that of ZnIn 2 S 4 . An apparent quantum yield is 7.84% at 420 nm wavelength. Overall, this work may provide a new pathway for the rational design of efficient Z-scheme heterojunctions with photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

Heteroatom doping technology is of great significance for adsorption. However, the effect of P with relatively lower electronegativity (2.19) doped in the π-electron system and phosphorus-containing functional groups on the adsorption has always been neglected. Herein, P-doped biochar (PBC) was successfully synthesized via the in-situ activation method and applied in a bath experiment and a long-term fixed-bed dynamic adsorption for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) removal. Compared to pristine BC, the pH pzc , ash content and graphitization degree of PBC would be reduced significantly after phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 ) was treated, but it gained a large specific surface area (SSA = 233 m 2 g −1 ), as well as abundant surface functional groups. In the adsorption process, the behavior of SMX adsorbed onto PBC conformed to pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir models in batch experiments. Its excellent adsorption capacity (148.62 mg g −1 ) benefited from a large number of functional groups. DFT calculation indicates that the C 3 -P-O configuration mainly promoted the adsorption of SMX. It is speculated that the hydrogen-bond interaction between SMX and C 3 -P-O was the main adsorption mechanism, and electrostatic and π-π EDA interaction also contributed. Various parameters during the dynamic process were thoroughly explored. The saturated adsorption capacity of the column would be promoted when influent SMX concentration and bed depth increased, but negatively correlated with solution pH and influent rate. Moreover, PBC fixed-bed column for SMX removal was well fitting Thomas, Yoon-Nelson and BDST models, which provided a predictable strategy for practical application.

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely used in consumer electronics and electric vehicles . In terms of environmental restrictions and circular economy , proper treatment of spent LIBs is of great significance for achieving sustainable development. In this study, organic p -toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA) was employed to recycle valuable Li and Co elements from the spent LIBs for production of battery raw materials (e.g. Li 2 CO 3 and Co 3 O 4 ). Operation parameters such as PTSA concentration, hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) concentration, solid-to-liquid ratio, leaching temperature and leaching time, were systematically investigated. Under the optimal conditions (0.9 vol% H 2 O 2 , 1.5 mol L −1 PTSA, 30 g L −1 solid-to-liquid ratio, 80 °C, and 60 min), the leaching efficiencies of commercial LiCoO 2 could reach ∼100% and 99% for Li and Co, respectively, while the corresponding values were about 95% and 93% for the spent LiCoO 2 . In addition, the selective precipitation of Co-rich compounds in cooled leachate allowed an effective separation of Co from the mixture. The high recovery yield of Co 3 O 4 and Li 2 CO 3 demonstrated the great potential of the PTSA-assisted leaching strategy in hydrometallurgical recycling of the spent LIBs for practical applications. Overall, this proposed recovery process is simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly and is of vital importance for rational treatment of spent LIBs.

Developing eco-friendly durable flame-retardant cotton fabric not only expands its application area, but also caters to the healthy and environmentally friendly concept of consumers. Herein, a reactive P/S/N-containing synergistic flame retardant (PSN) was synthesized to prepare eco-friendly durable flame-retardant cotton fabric through chemical modifying method. Flame-retardant finishing deteriorated the softness, whiteness, tensile strength and air permeability of cotton fabric. PSN conferred outstanding flame retardancy, fire safety and durability to cotton fabric. For treated fabric with the add-on of 14.2%, it achieved an LOI value of 36.5% and extinguished spontaneously even after 50 laundering cycles. Its peak heat release rate, total heat release and fire growth rate index values decreased sharply than those of the control fabric. PSN exhibited high-efficiency flame-retardant behavior, and the synergy between P, S and N elements facilitated the formation of intumescent barrier on the fiber surface during combustion. The hydrolysis of covalent bond and formation of phosphate/sulphonate during laundering both accounted for the decrease in flame retardancy of treated fabric.

High-performance nanofiltration (NF) membrane plays a key role in Li + /Mg 2+ separation process. In this work, a new NF membrane with positively and negatively charged groups was prepared by grafting p-aminosalicylic acid (AS) onto the surface of polyamide (PA) membrane followed by chelation with Fe 3+ ions for Li + /Mg 2+ separation. The AS grafting (PA-g-AS) and Fe 3+ chelating (PA-g-AS-Fe) NF membranes had almost same surface and section structure and surface pore size as the PA membrane. But Zeta potential (about −8 mV at pH 7) of the obtained PA-g-AS-Fe membrane was improved in comparison with the PA and PA-g-AS NF (about −20 mV at pH 7) membranes due to Fe 3+ addition, suggesting that there were positively and negatively charged groups on the membrane surface. The PA-g-AS-Fe membrane showed a high Mg 2+ rejection of 97.7% and high Li + permeation (negative rejection of −87.6%); while a high Li + /Mg 2+ separation factor (S Li , Mg ) of about 81.5 was achieved, which is much higher than those for PA and PA-g-AS NF membranes and surpassed those of the results reported in literature. The fluxes of three membranes were about the same. The results demonstrated the NF membrane with positively and negatively charged groups was suitable for efficient separation of Li + /Mg 2+ and would have promising applications in recovery of lithium from brine.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) is a biodegradable polyester, and its application range is limited by the poor flame retardancy and low modulus. Bentonite (BNT) as a green inorganic filler can improve the modulus and flame retardancy of PHA to a certain extent. An in situ polymerization method was designed to intercalate P-N-containing hyperbranched macromolecules (HBM) among BNT layers (HBM-B) and to improve the flame retardancy while improving the dispersion of BNT in the PHA matrix. The layer spacing of BNT was increased from 1.2 nm to 4.5 nm. The effect law of the joint action of in situ intercalation of BNT and the HBM on flame retardancy and mechanical properties of PHA was systematically studied. The HBM-B showed stronger flame retardancy when the mass ratio of HBM to BNT was 75/25. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) of the PHA/HBM-B composite was increased to 27.6 % while maintaining good toughness. Compared to the physical blend of HBM and BNT (HBM/B), the elongation at break of PHA/HBM-B 25 composites can be increased by up to 10 times. When the content of HBM-B is up to 15 wt%, the LOI of PHA-Based composites can reach 29.6 % and the UL-94 rating reaches V-0, which meets the standard of flame-retardant material. Therefore, the present work is expected to expand the application of PHA-based composites in the field of flame retardancy.

Oxidative stress and inflammation play important roles in the development of diabetes mellitus. p-Synephrine, the primary pharmacologically active protoalkaloid in Citrus species, has been popularly consumed as a dietary supplement for weight loss management. However, the effects of p-synephrine on diabetes mellitus and the action mechanisms have not been clearly elucidated. In this study, the in vitro antioxidant effects of p-synephrine were evaluated. The data showed that p-synephrine treatment exhibited significant scavenging effects against DPPH, ABTS and OH radicals and showed high reducing power. Diabetic mice were developed by alloxan injection, followed by p-synephrine administration to investigate its hypoglycemic effects in vivo. The results showed that p-synephrine intervention significantly prevented alloxan-induced alteration in body weight, organ indexes, serum uric acid content and serum creatinine content. Meanwhile, p-synephrine application significantly improved the lipid profiles, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities and glutathione (GSH) contents in the serum and kidneys of diabetic mice and reduced the malondialdehyde (MDA) content in the serum of diabetic mice. Further assays suggested that p-synephrine treatment improved alloxan-induced decreases of glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Also, p-synephrine supplementation altered histopathological changes in the kidneys and interscapular brown adipose tissues in diabetic mice. In addition, p-synephrine administration inhibited renal inflammation through suppressing tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) gene expression levels, as well as CD45 expression levels. The anti-inflammatory effects were probably involved in the regulation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation. In conclusion, p-synephrine application significantly ameliorated alloxan-induced diabetes mellitus by inhibiting oxidative stress via suppressing the NF-κB and MAPK pathways.

Ni directional doping in the lattice of CdS V with the Ni cations targeted linked to P (CdS V -Ni-P) was successfully synthesized via a step wise assembly method, which exhibited an excellent photocatalytic hydrogen production performance. The photoelectric performance characterization proved that the Ni directional doping and Ni cations targeted linked with P in CdS V -Ni-P not only accelerating the photo-generated electrons transfer but also decreasing efficiency of the charge recombination. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations proved that CdS V -Ni-P can also induce more charge-carriers participate in photocatalytic reaction and decrease electron binding restriction capacity. Moreover, the results of UV–vis DR spectra and VB-XPS spectra confirmed that the construction of this CdS V -Ni-P could effectively narrow the bandgap. Meanwhile, the result of Gibbs free energy demonstrated the S-H adsorption bond in CdS V -Ni-P was get weaken, which is benefit for hydrogen desorption from S sites, thus achieving a high hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) result. Based on the synergistic effects, CdS V -Ni 6.7 -P 9.6 presented a relatively high hydrogen evolution rate of 167.5 mmol h -1 g −1 under the visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm), which is almost 60 times of CdS V .

A surface acoustic wave (SAW) H 2 S gas sensor based on CuO-TiO 2 p-n heterojunction film was designed and fabricated. The sensor exhibits high sensitivity to H 2 S due to the significant current response of CuO-TiO 2 film to H 2 S gas and the appropriate work point of SAW sensor based on CuO-TiO 2 composite film. The linearity change for sensor frequency shift is strongly associated with the location of work point when the H 2 S concentration increases from 1 to 300 ppm. In addition, the porosity of CuO-TiO 2 film is beneficial to the efficient adsorption for H 2 S, leading to the higher frequency shift of the sensor. The SAW sensor also shows good selectivity and stability to H 2 S with stable frequency shift under different humidity levels.
