Low-crystalline ultrathin nanosheets (UNSs) hold great potential for efficient photoreduction of anthropogenic CO 2 , while developing green synthetic methodologies and elucidating the structure-performance relationship remain significant challenges. Here, via a CaO-mediated strategy , we demonstrate a facile strategy for the large-scale production of low-crystalline Ni(OH) 2 UNSs from industrial wastes. The resultant Ni(OH) 2 UNSs deliver a superior CO formation rate of 9.2 μmol h −1 with a high selectivity of 93.1 % in low-concentration CO 2 (10 %), which remarkably outperforms that of Ni(OH) 2 NSs with high crystalline. Experimental and theoretical investigations demonstrate that the boosted performance originates from the fully exposed oxygen vacancies and low-coordination Ni sites, which facilitates the separation of photogenerated charge pairs and the adsorption and activation of diluted CO 2 . This work demonstrates a sustainable strategy for the large-scale synthesis of low-crystalline layered metal hydroxides, paving new avenues for the high-value utilization of industrial wastes in mitigating climate change.

The global pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a great disaster to the economy and human society. Nowadays, SARS-CoV-2 is fading away from people’s memory but it still exists around us. PCR plays an important role in detecting SARS-CoV-2 but it requires a long detecting time, equipped laboratory, and professional operators. In comparison with polymerase chain reaction (PCR), surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a promising method for detecting SARS-CoV-2 due to its fast, easily operated, and high-sensitivity properties. In this study, the monolayer Ag nanoparticles (MAgNPs) covered with single-layer graphene (SLG) are applied as a SERS substrate. The angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is selected as a bio-probes that can specifically bind to the SARS-CoV-2 S protein. The SERS-based biosensor is formed by ACE2 functionalized SLG/MAgNPs and the LODs of detecting SARS-CoV-2 S protein in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and in pharyngeal swabs solution (PSS) are 0.1 fg mL −1 and 10 fg mL −1 , respectively. This biosensor provides a way of directly detecting SARS-CoV-2 S protein with high sensitivity and specificity. It illustrates a practical potential in the rapid detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Blue mold caused by Penicillium italicum is one of the most devastating postharvest diseases in Citrus fruit. This work aims to determine the antifungal potential of ( E )-2-octenal, a component of plant essential oil, on the mycelial growth and disease incidence of a prochloraz-resistant strain of P. italicum isolated from an orchard in Luxi, Hunan Province, China. An in vitro assay revealed that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of ( E )-2-octenal were 0.25 and 0.50 mL L −1 , respectively. An in vivo assay showed that wax + 4 × MFC ( E )-2-octenal treatment could reduce the blue mold incidence in Ponkan fruit inoculated with P. italicum without impairing fruit quality. Scanning electron microscopy analysis illustrated that the mycelia of P. italicum were anomalously twisted and shrunken upon treatment with ( E )-2-octenal. The primary antifungal targets were attributed to the cell membrane instead of the cell wall based on propidium iodide and calcofluor white staining results. In addition, ( E )-2-octenal induced massive accumulation of reactive oxygen species in hyphae in a dose-dependent manner, leading to oxidative stress and dysfunction of energy and respiration metabolism. At the same time, the activities of phosphofructokinase (PFK) and pyruvate kinase (PK) were decreased in ( E )-2-octenal-treated samples. Taken together, our present study suggested that ( E )-2-octenal could exert its antifungal activity against P. italicum by damaging the function of mitochondria and may be a potential antifungal substance for an alternative to chemical fungicides.

The inhibiting behavior of K 4 P 2 O 7 , C 2 H 5 O 6 P and their mixture on Q235 steel corroding in the simulated stratum water has been investigated by using electrochemical noise (EN) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The results show that the physical adsorption of KPP onto Q235 surface at 60 °C is somewhat faster than the chemisorption of HPAA. In the re-plotted energy distribution plot, the difference of the region where the EN energy is mostly accumulated may be adopted to distinguish the chemisorption and physical adsorption of inhibitors. Finally, the variation tendency of the charge transfer resistance obtained by EIS technique is just opposite to that of fractal dimension obtained by EN technique, which may hint that the initial corrosion processes of metals can be in-situ monitored by using EN technique expediently.

Waves of COVID-19 outbreaks have dragged down the global economy and endangered human life. There is an urgent need for timeliness and sensitive SARS-CoV-2 detection techniques to complement the existing PCR assay. Herein, the controllable growth of gold crystalline grains was achieved by applying the reverse current during pulse electrochemical deposition (PED) interval. The proposed method validates the effects of pulse reverse current (PRC) on the atomic arrangement, crystal structures, orientations, and film characteristics in Au PED. The gap between the gold grains on the surface of the nanocrystalline gold interdigitated microelectrodes (NG-IDME) fabricated by the PED+PRC process matches the size of the antiviral antibody. Immunosensors are prepared by binding a large number of antiviral antibodies on the surface of NG-IDME. The NG-IDME immunosensor has a high specific capture ability for SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (SARS-CoV-2/N-Pro) and completes ultrasensitive and quantification of SARS-CoV-2/N-Pro in humans and pets within 5 min (the LOQ as low as 75 fg/mL). The specificity, accuracy, stability, and actual blind sample tests show that the NG-IDME immunosensor is suitable for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in humans and animals. This approach assists in monitoring the transmission of SARS-CoV-2-infected animals to humans.

Surface fouling would severely reduce the performance of membrane and increase operating costs. Recently, surface coating based on branched polymer has been developed as a novel antifouling strategy. However, synthesis of branched polymer by controlled radical polymerization in aqueous system is often challenging. Herein, we report the coating of membrane surface with branched poly(2-Hydroxyethyl acrylate) (Poly(HEA)) via copper-based reversible deactivation radical polymerization . Hydrophilic coatings based on branched polymer brushes were fabricated from membrane surface by grafting from strategy under ambient temperature or even lower in aqueous solution. The polymerization kinetics , as well as antifouling performance of respective modified membranes between linear and branched Poly(HEA) were explored. Surface analyses verified that membranes modified with branched polymer brushes have 5.75 times higher coating thickness and enhanced hydrophilicity. Antifouling experiments revealed that branched polymer brushes can endow membranes with better fouling resistance and stability.

Ba 1- x K x (Zn 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3- x /2 (BKZN, x = 0–0.2) ceramics were prepared by the high-temperature solid-state reaction method. Based on P–V–L theory, Raman vibration spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), this paper investigates the relationship between the internal and external factors of K + substitution in the Ba(Zn 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 (BZN) ceramics and the microwave dielectric properties of the ceramics. X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterisation revealed that all samples were single phase with no impure phases. Replacing Ba 2+ with K + greatly reduced the sintering temperature and optimised the microwave dielectric properties of the ceramics. The dielectric constant ( ε r ) was closely related to the ion polarizability and density, and inversely proportional to Raman shift of the A 1g (O) peak. The quality factor ( Q × f ) depended largely on the lattice energy ( U b ) and the full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of A 1g (O) near 790 cm −1 . The temperature coefficient of the resonance frequency ( τ f ) could be inferred from the bond energy ( E b ) and oxygen octahedral distortion. Finally, outstanding microwave dielectric properties ( ε r = 40.83, Q × f = 71,658 GHz and τ f = 2.52 ppm/°C) were acquired for Ba 0.95 K 0.05 (Zn 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 2.975 ceramics sintered at the optimum sintering temperature (1325 °C) for 4 h.

The mechanism of the effect of reducing sugar chain length and isomers on the allergenicity of Ara h 2 after glycation was investigated. Ara h 2 was more prone to glycation with ribose which had a short chain length. The glycation sites of Ara h 2 after glycation with galactose were higher than the glycation sites in galactose’s isomers-Ara h 2 conjugates, which might be affected by the configuration differences at position C-4 and the small steric effects in terminal groups –CHO of galactose. Ara h 2-ribose conjugate had the lowest allergenicity, and glycation with galactose was more capable of reducing Ara h 2 allergenicity than its isomers. The results indicated that glycation with ribose caused conformational epitope destruction and linear epitope masking of Ara h 2 greatly. Furthermore, since the small steric effects of –CHO, galactose was more capable of reducing Ara h 2 allergenicity than fructose. This study will provide a theoretical basis for selecting appropriate reducing sugars and preparing hypoallergenic products containing peanuts.

The sintering characteristics and microwave dielectric properties of a series of orthorhombic-phase Li 3 Mg 4 (Nb 1-x W x )O 8+x/2 (0.02 ≤ x ≤ 0.08) ceramics, which were synthesized according to the stacked form solid-phase reaction method within 1075°C–1150 °C, were reported in this work. The influence of W 6+ ions on microscopic morphology, crystal structure, and thus on the microwave dielectric properties were analyzed. Moreover, the correlation between the crystal structure and dielectric properties was also established according to the PVL theory. In addition to the extrinsic factor of density, the impacts of intrinsic factors of the average bond ionicity within ceramics, the total lattice energy of Nb|W–O bonds, and the Nb|W–O 6 octahedral distortion on the ε r , Q × f value, and the τ f value were investigated to further reveal the relationship between the crystal structure and properties, respectively. The introduction of W 6+ ions into Li 3 Mg 4 (Nb 1-x W x )O 8+x/2 ceramics demonstrated a promising approach to enhance both the Q × f and the τ f value. The Li 3 Mg 4 (Nb 0.96 W 0.04 )O 8.02 ceramics sintered at 1125 °C showed exceptional properties with ε r ∼ 13.62, Q × f ∼ 151, 300 GHz, and τ f ∼ −14.03 ppm/°C and promising potential for applying in communication devices.

Ti4+-ion-doped (n+ 1)SrO −nCeO2(n= 2) ceramic systems were prepared with the conventional solid-state reaction method, and the effects of the phase structures and compositions, sintering behaviors, microstructures and microwave dielectric properties of these ceramic systems were investigated in detail as a function of TiO2content. The analytical results of the XRD patterns show that the pure (n+ 1)SrO −nCeO2(n= 2) system is a composite-phase ceramic system with coexisting SrCeO3and Sr2CeO4phases (represented as a SrCeO3+ Sr2CeO4system), which belong to the orthogonal structures of the Pmcn (62) and Pbam (55) space groups, respectively. For thexTiO2-(1 − x) (SrCeO3+ Sr2CeO4) (x= 0.1–0.4) ceramic samples, the secondary phase Sr2TiO4can also be detected within the range of the investigated components. Meanwhile, the Raman spectroscopy, SEM-EDS, and HRTEM (SAED) analysis results also verified the correctness and consistency of the phase structures and compositions for all the given specimens. In addition, complex impedance spectroscopy was used to detect the conductive behavior of these compound ceramic systems, and the calculation results show that the appropriate addition of Ti4+-ions can make the SrCeO3+ Sr2CeO4system have better thermal stability. The composition ofx= 0.2 multiphase structural ceramic sample sintered at 1330 °C for 4 h has a near zero τfvalue of ~−4.6 ppm/°C, a moderateεrof ~40.3 and a higherQ×f~44,020 GHz (at 6.56 GHz). The relatively superior-performing ceramics developed in this work are expected to provide a promising microwave dielectric material for communication components.Keywords:phase structures and compositions;SrCeO3+ Sr2CeO4system;TiO2addition;microwave dielectric properties

This work aims to explore the bulk ring-opening metathesis copolymerization of dicyclopentadiene and 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene by modifying the comonomer feed ratios. Thorough studies showed that their performance can be enhanced by polymerization at elevated temperature and there was a little deviation of properties from mixing rules. That is, the copolymers properties depend on monomer composition and can be roughly predicted by empirical mixing rules. We believe this can help researchers design and prepare ROMP derived polydicyclopentadiene copolymers and apply them in more applications.

Combining photodynamic therapy (PDT) with natural killer (NK) cell-based immunotherapy has shown great potential against cancers, but the shedding of NK group 2, member D ligands (NKG2DLs) on tumor cells inhibited NK cell activation in the tumor microenvironment. Herein, we assembled microenvironment-/light-responsive bio-nanosystems (MLRNs) consisting of SB-3CT-containing β-cyclodextrins (β-CDs) and photosensitizer-loaded liposomes, in which SB-3CT was considered to remodel the tumor microenvironment. β-CDs and liposomes were linked by metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) responsive peptides, enabling sequential release of SB-3CT and chlorin e6 triggered by the MMP-2-abundant tumor microenvironment and 660 nm laser irradiation, respectively. Released SB-3CT blocked tumor immune escape by antagonizing MMP-2 and promoting the NKG2D/NKG2DL pathway, while liposomes were taken up by tumor cells for PDT. MLRN-mediated photo-immunotherapy significantly induced melanoma cell cytotoxicity (83.31%), inhibited tumor growth (relative tumor proliferation rate: 1.13% of that of normal saline) in the xenografted tumor model, and enhanced tumor-infiltrating NK cell (148 times) and NKG2DL expression (9.55 and 16.52 times for MICA and ULBP-1, respectively), achieving a synergistic effect. This study not only provided a simple insight into the development of new nanomedicine for programed release of antitumor drugs and better integration of PDT and immunotherapy but also a novel modality for clinical NK cell-mediated immunotherapy against melanoma.
