Modern electronics not only require the thermal management ability of polymer packaging materials but also need anti-voltage and mechanical properties. Boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS), an ideal thermally conductive and high withstand voltage (800 kV/mm) filler, can meet application needs, but the complex and low-yield process limits their large-scale fabrication. Herein, in this work, we prepare sucrose-assisted ball-milled BN(SABM-BN)/polyetherimide (PEI) composite films by a casting-hot pressing method. SABM-BN, as a pre-ball-milled filler, contains BNNS and BN thick sheets. We mainly investigated the thermal conductivity (TC), breakdown strength, and mechanical properties of composites. After pre-ball milling, the in-plane TC of the composite film is reduced. It decreases from 2.69 to 2.31 W/mK for BN/PEI composite film at 30 wt% content; however, the through-plane TC of composites is improved, and the breakdown strength and tensile strength of the composite film reach the maximum of 54.6 kV/mm and 102.7 MPa at 5 wt% content, respectively. Moreover, the composite film is used as a flexible circuit substrate, and the working surface temperature is 20 ℃, which is lower than that of pure PEI film. This study provides an effective strategy for polymer composites for electronic packaging.

It is imperative to design and fabricate a high-performance free-standing electrode to meet the demand for flexible energy-storage devices with the development of wearable and portable electronics. CuS is an impressive candidate as an ideal pseudo-capacitance material due to its high theoretical capacity, easy preparation and wide source of raw materials. However, the low conductivity of CuS limits its application. Herein, polyaniline (PANI) was coated on CuS @ functional carbon cloth (fCC) to address the inherent defects of CuS using a facile polymerization procedure. Nano-scale PANI arrays with excellent conductivity grown on super-hydrophilic fCC provide a superior electroactive surface and facilitate electron transfer and electrolyte diffusion, which enhance the electrochemical performance of free-standing electrode. The as-prepared PANI/CuS@fCC electrode exhibits outstanding areal capacitance of 2167.2 mF cm −2 at 0.5 mA cm −2 , impressive capacitance retention rate (89.2 %) after 5000 cycles at 5 mA cm −2 , and satisfactory mechanical properties and flexibility. The assembled symmetrical supercapacitor also exhibits significant rate capacity with a specific capacitance of 816.4 mF cm −2 , a high energy density of 0.268 mW h cm −2 at 0.5 mW cm −2 and stable cycle performance with a capacitance retention rate exceeding 98 %. This study provides an effective strategy to fabricate advanced and flexible supercapacitor electrode.

Perovskite-like compounds have attracted great attention because of their good properties, such as electrical, optical, and magnetic properties, etc. Herein, a new perovskite-like anionic dicyanamidometallate, namely (Bu3MeP)[Ni(dca)3] (1) (Bu3MeP = tributylmethylphosphine cation, dca = dicyanamide), was synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectrum, thermogravimetric analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the tetragonal crystal system with the chiral space group P43212, and exhibits a three-dimensional anionic dicyanamidometallate framework from Ni2+ units bridged by dicyanamides, in which tributylmethylphosphine cations are accommodated in the voids. The butyl groups present two conformations in the tributylmethylphosphine cation, resulting in chirality character occurred in compound 1. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility analysis indicates that weak ferromagnetic interaction exists between the nickel(II) ions coupling by μ1,5-bridings.

To ensure food quality and prevent histamine (HA) toxicity, a rapid and direct method of detecting HA is required. In this work, we prepared a monoclonal antibody (mAb) against HA using a hapten produced by the introduction of a phenyl-containing linker. The novel mAb exhibited high sensitivity against HA as determined by ELISA, with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 21.51 ng/mL. A gold nanoparticle-based immunosensor was fabricated for rapid detection of HA in fish samples. After optimizing the immunosensor, a visual limit of detection (LOD) and a calculated LOD were 0.25 mg/kg and 10.48 μg/kg for HA, respectively. Recovery rates from the spiked fish samples ranged from 87.33% to 104.67% with the coefficient of variation below 10.82%. Concurrently, the whole process in testing real sample was completed within 15 min, and all results were well confirmed and comparable by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and the commercial test strip. These data revealed that the proposed immunosensor could be used as a monitoring tool for the rapid and direct detection of HA in fish samples.

Objective Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the major diseases in the world. Nuclear medicine imaging may be able to detect functional status of pancreatic β cells in vivo , which might elucidate the pathological mechanisms of diabetes and develop individualized treatment plans. In this study, we evaluated the ability of [ 125 I]ADAM, a serotonin transporter (SERT) imaging agent, as a probe for detecting pancreatic β-cell mass (BCM). Methods In vitro cell studies were evaluated in INS-1 cells (rat islet β cell line). Biodistribution studies were performed in male normal Sprague-Dawley rats and alloxan-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) rats. Distribution and expression of SERT protein in pancreas of rats were also measured by immunofluorescence staining and Western blot. Results In vitro cell studies showed that the concentration of [ 125 I]ADAM associated with the INS-1 cells was increased gradually with incubation time, and the SERT specific inhibitor, escitalopram, exhibited the inhibitory effect on this interaction. Biodistribution studies also showed that the uptake of [ 125 I]ADAM in the pancreas of normal rats was decreased in the presence of escitalopram. However, in the T1DM rat model with a significant β cells reduction, the uptake of pancreas was increased when compared with the control. Through immunofluorescence staining and Western blot, it was found that both the endocrine and exocrine cells of the normal pancreas expressed SERT protein, and the level of SERT protein in the exocrine cells was higher than islets. In the diabetic state, the expression of SERT in the exocrine cells was further increased. Conclusions The SERT imaging agent, [ 125 I]ADAM, at the present form will not be suitable for imaging β cells, specifically because there were extraordinarily high non-specific signals contributing from the exocrine cells of pancreas. In addition, we noticed that the level of SERT expression was abnormally elevated in the diabetic state, which might provide an unexpected target for studying the pathological mechanisms of diabetes.

In order to improve the adsorption efficiency of the adsorbent and solve the problem of separation difficulty, a novel superparamagnetic micro-nano-bio-adsorbent (PDA/Fe 3 O 4 /BC) was prepared by in situ self-assembly of polydopamine (PDA). The results of scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) characterization showed that the size of bio-adsorbent was about 200 nm. PDA and Fe 3 O 4 modifications increased the specific surface area of adsorbent, changed the surface functional group of biochar (BC), and made the adsorbent have super-high magnetization (294.76 emu g −1 ). PDA/Fe 3 O 4 /BC was applied to treat Cr wastewater. The results show that the adsorption of Cr by PDA/Fe 3 O 4 /BC includes single-layer and multilayer adsorption. The adsorption follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption is spontaneous and endothermic, and its maximum adsorption capacity and activation energy are 25.25 mg g −1 at 318 K and 23.108 kJ mol −1 , respectively. After adsorption treatment, PDA/Fe 3 O 4 /BC still possesses high magnetization (233.04 emu g −1 ). PDA/Fe 3 O 4 /BC can treat actual electroplating wastewater with Cr(VI) concentration from 20 mg L −1 to less than 0.2 mg L −1 , which met the PRC discharge standard (GB/21900-2008) of electroplating pollutants.

A hollow carbonized polyaniline spheres/selenium (HCPS/Se) composite was prepared by a simple combination method of a self-assembly method, pyrolysis and vapor phase infusion process as a cathode material for Li–Se rechargeable batteries. The composites were characterized and examined by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical methods, such as cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and galvanostatic charge/discharge tests. The HCPS/Se composite cathode can deliver relative high capacity, high Coulombic efficiency and good cycling performance. The electrochemical results show that the HCPS/Se composite cathode exhibits an initial discharge specific capacity of 571.5 mA h g −1 and retains 298.7 mA h g −1 with high Coulombic efficiency after 100 cycles at a high rate of 0.5 C (337.5 mA h g −1 ), which are higher than that of the pristine selenium cathode. The excellent electrochemical properties benefit from the high conductivity and the hollow structures of the carbonized polyaniline spheres.

Amoxicillin is one of the most important semi-synthetic penicillin broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotics and has achieved many applications. There are few reports on its application for synthesizing carbon dots (CDs). Present work explored the possibility of amoxicillin converted into CDs with sodium carbonate used as the co-reactant employing facile hydrothermal method. The obtained CDs exhibited good selectivity and sensitivity to benzidine and could be explored as an effective fluorescence probe for monitoring benzidine. The fluorescence intensity of CDs was quenched based on the principle of static quenching due to the formation of a non-fluorescent complex between CD and benzidine. Within the range of 0.2–2 μM and 2–16 μM, CDs possessed good linear characteristics, high sensitivity, and a low detection limit of 0.08 μM. The results demonstrated that the fluorescence probe possessed the merits of simplicity, rapidity, low cost, short analytical time, high selectivity and sensitivity, and good stability. According to the verification results from the real water samples, the fluorescence probe had high reliability and feasibility, and could be employed for monitoring benzidine in waters.

Coal and biomass fly ash was impregnated with tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) to prepare solid CO 2 sorbent. Experimental CO 2 adsorption capacities of the sorbent in fixed-bed column were fitted to several kinetic equations. The modified Avrami fractional kinetic model could accurately predict the CO 2 adsorption kinetic behaviors of the sorbent under different conditions. CO 2 adsorption rate increases with the increase in temperature, initial CO 2 concentration and gas flow rate, as a result of the decreased CO 2 diffusion resistance. A mathematical model was proposed and demonstrated to well predict the CO 2 adsorption breakthrough curves in the fixed-bed column. Effects of temperature, initial CO 2 concentration and gas flow rate on the mass transfer kinetic behaviors of the desired sorbent were investigated. The positive effect of these factors on promoting the overall mass transfer coefficient and the internal mass transfer coefficient is not significant. The external mass transfer coefficient will be remarkably reinforced with the increase in these operating parameters, due to the change in viscosity and density of the gas phase and the reduced external mass transfer resistance. Internal mass transfer process is determined as the rate-limiting step for CO 2 adsorption. The results will lay the groundwork for future scale-up application of the sorbent in post-combustion CO 2 capture.

The effects of different dispersed phases of MXene nanosheets on polyamide nanofiltration membranes, which was first reported in this investigation, are still unclear. We found that when the MXene nanosheets were dispersed into the aqueous phase, the cross-linking degree of the interfacial polymerization (IP) reaction was low, thereby forming a rough and thin polyamide layer with nanovoids, which increased the pure water flux to 14.1 L m2– h–1 bar–1. When the MXene nanosheets were dispersed into the organic phase, the IP reaction was more thorough with a high degree of cross-linking. Therefore, the salt rejection was higher, with 99.1% of Na2SO4 rejection. We believe that different dispersed phases for 2D nanosheets had different impacts on the IP reaction and polyamide layer and we hope this study can provide ideas for selecting a suitable dispersed phase to develop optimization strategies.

As one of most advanced transduction techniques, electrochemiluminescence (ECL), such as that generated by tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium (Ru(bpy) 3 2+ ), has been extensively used in chemical sensing and analysis, but the reaction mechanism has not been fully resolved. Aiming at gaining insightful mechanistic information on the coreactant system involving (Ru(bpy) 3 2+ ) and tri- n -propylamine (TPrA), herein we investigate the variation of thickness of ECL layer (TEL) with the concentration ratio of (Ru(bpy) 3 2+ ) to TPrA ( c Ru / c TPrA ) by ECL microscopy. Using carbon fiber as the working electrode, TEL was observed to grow with the increase of c Ru / c TPrA remarkably. In conjunction with finite element simulations, the extension of ECL layer was rationalized to be associated with the incremental contribution of so-called “catalytic route”. This route offers an additional channel of generating remote light emission in solution, apart from surface-confined emission produced by the “oxidative-reduction route”. Given the quantitative analysis of coreactant-type analytes is often based on the calibration curve, namely a graph generated by plotting the measured light intensity of a series of standard solutions against their concentrations, the contribution of “catalytic route” particularly at a low concentration of analyte (equivalent to a relatively large c Ru / c TPrA ) is favorable to the analytical sensitivity. Moreover, the presence and absence of this route will result in a nonlinear and linear calibration curve, respectively, for example in the detection of TPrA and pyruvate. The results highlight the microwire-based imaging approach can provide insightful mechanistic information and help unveil the concentration dependence of measured ECL intensity for precise quantitative analysis.

Photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) production coupled with selective oxidation of organic compounds into high-value-added organic intermediates has expansive prospects in the utilization and transformation of solar energy, which meets the development requirements of green chemistry. In this work, high-efficiency hole cocatalyst PdS-decorated In2S3 flower-like microspheres are fabricated for the effective visible-light-driven C–N coupling of amines to imines coupled with H2 evolution. Owing to the establishment of the internal electric field, which further boosts the transfer of photoexcited holes to PdS, PdS–In2S3 exhibits distinctly enhanced photocatalytic redox performance, which is 39.8 times higher for H2 and 14.3 times higher for N-benzylidenebenzylamine than that of the blank In2S3, along with high selectivity and stability. Furthermore, the practicability of dehydrogenation coupling of various aromatic amines to the corresponding C–N coupling products on PdS–In2S3 has been demonstrated and a plausible reaction mechanism has been proposed. This work is anticipated to stimulate further interest in establishing an innovative photoredox platform for selective organic synthesis coupled with H2 evolution in a green and sustainable way.
