In this work, Cu 2 ZnSn 1- x Ge x S 4 (CZTGS) precursor thin films with varied Ge composition ( x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1) were prepared by using a water-based solution approach. After selenizing at 550 °C for 10 min in a graphite box containing selenium powder, the as-fabricated kesterite Cu 2 ZnSn 1- x Ge x (S,Se) 4 (CZTGSSe) thin films were systematically investigated for phase structure, morphology, valence states of elements, optical properties , and electrical properties. The results showed that the Ge element was successfully incorporated into the host lattice of Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe), and kesterite CZTGSSe films were formed. As the Ge content increased, the crystal grains in the films grew larger and showed uniform morphology on the sample surfaces. The band gap in the CZTGS(Se) thin films could be engineered in the range of 1.21 eV–2.00 eV by tuning the relative compositions of the Ge elements. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the doping of Ge improved the mobility, resistivity, and photoelectric performance of the films. Finally, the Cu 2 ZnSn 0.8 Ge 0.2 (S,Se) 4 solar cell device with an efficiency of 5.39% was prepared. The results indicate that non-toxic water solution-based CZTGSSe films showed potential for application in solar cells.

Excessive ammonia can cause the death of fish and the eutrophication of the water environment, so ammonia detection is essential for environmental monitoring. In this study, a highly selective sensing strategy for ammonia detection based on N, S co-doped carbon dots (N, S-CDs) was developed. The as-prepared N, S-CDs exhibited excellent photoluminescence properties and fluorescent stability. N, S-CDs demonstrated fluorescence quenched in the presence of ammonia in the wide linear range of 2–80 mmol/L, and were highly selective towards ammonia over metal ions. Furthermore, a possible fluorescence quenching mechanism is proposed. N, S-CDs were further applied to detection of ammonia in aquaculture water samples and river water samples, showing good practicability with recoveries from 0.93 to 1.27 and relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 0.54% to 17.3%. N, S-CDs were also successfully used to determine the freshness of bighead carps.Keywords:carbon dots;fluorescence;ammonia;aquaculture;freshness

Metal-organic frameworks are new kinds of porous crystalline materials. The Zr-based metal-organic framework (MOF-801) is consists of [Zr 6 (u 3 -O) 4 (u 3 -OH) 4 ] 12+ clusters and fumaric acid connectors. MOF-801 has excellent mechanical properties , high chemical stability and high water absorption capacity . There are a large number of hydrophilic functional groups inside MOF-801, which is effective to promote interfacial compatibility between MOF-801 and polymer matrixes . In this work, the MOF-801 with structural defects was synthesized through the solvothermal method by adding excess formic acids as the regulator. These structural defects could confer MOF-801 high surface area (2476.34 m 2 g −1 ) and promote the water absorption capacity. Moreover, structural defects could also expose more open metal sites of MOF-801, thereby increasing the Lewis acidity of MOF-801. Then, the hybrid membranes were synthesized by combining the MOF-801 with structural defects and C-SPAEKS. Dense hydrogen-bond networks formed between the MOF-801 and C-SPAEKS further promote enhance proton conductivity . At the condition of 90 °C and 100% relative humidity, the highest proton conductivity of hybrid membranes reached 0.100 S cm −1 , which is similar to that of Nafion 117. Meanwhile, these hybrid membranes showed outstanding chemical and thermal stabilities. These results indicate that these hybrid membranes have potential as proton exchange membranes .

A novel deep eutectic solvent-based extraction and sulfur-doped carbon quantum dots (S-CQDs) serving as fluorescence probes to detect pirimicarb in cereals were established. The deep eutectic solvent was synthesized using choline chloride and butanediol, achieving direct and efficient extraction of pirimicarb residue in the cereals. The fluorescence quenching of S-CQDs was caused by the electrostatic interaction between the negatively charged S-CQDs and positively charged thiocholine, which was the hydrolysate of acetylthiocholine. The fluorescence of S-CQDs was enhanced as the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was inhibited by pirimicarb, achieving the detection of pirimicarb in the cereal samples. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.006 μg mL −1 . The recovery ranged from 96.6% to 108.2%. This extraction and detection method of pirimicarb based on an environmentally friendly DES and S-CQD fluorescent sensor maintains good stability and convenience, offering a promising strategy for extracting and testing harmful substances in food samples.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is the most stable allotrope of carbon nitride with a conjugated, two-dimensional polymer of s-triazine, which is considered as a promising photocatalyst in sustainable chemistry. The low surface area and quantum efficiency and fast electron-hole recombination of g-C3N4 restrict its practical application. The formation of two-dimensional mesoporous structure and the construction of proper semiconductor composites are two approaches to promote the effective separation of photogenerated exciton and reduce the charge transfer resistance, which is beneficial to restrain the recombination of exciton and improve photocatalytic hydrogen performance. In this work, two-dimensional mesoporous g-C3N4 nanosheets (MCNS) coupled with nonstoichiometric Zn-Cu-In-S (ZCIS) nanocrystals were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The constructed ZCIS/MCNS composites possessed highly photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance under visible light irradiation without any noble metal cocatalysts. The EIS spectra and transient photocurrent responses corroborated ZCIS/MCNS had higher separation and transportation efficiency of photogenerated electron and hole. The incorporation of ZCIS into MCNS reduced the charge transfer resistance and enhanced the charge transfer efficiency. As the result, the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of ZCIS/MCNS was higher than those of pure ZCIS and MCNS. 10-0.2ZCIS/MCNS showed a highest H2 production rate of 12.3 μmol h−1 over 100 mg photocatalyst without cocatalysts. This work supplied a feasible strategy to construct ZCIS/MCNS composites for the exploitation of solar energy.

The role of hepatic nuclear factor 1α (HNF-1α) and its response element in the expression of glutathione S-transferase A1 (GSTA1) was investigated in hepatocytes cells injury induced by acetaminophen (APAP). Treatment of hepatocytes with C2-ceramide exacerbated cells injury with GSTA1 mRNA level reducing. Contrastingly, administration of oltipraz alleviated cells damage with GSTA1 mRNA level elevating relative to hepatotoxicity induced by APAP. Western blot analysis showed that C2-ceramide decreased the translocation of HNF-1α and expression of GSTA1 protein, while oltipraz increased nuclear HNF-1α level and transactivation of GSTA1. The role of HNF-1α on GSTA1 expression was confirmed by transfection experiment and dual-luciferase reporter assay system. In the cells transfected with pGSTA1-1298-LUC vector in which HNF-1 response element (HRE) was contained, the luciferase activity decreased with reduction of nuclear HNF-1α and increased with elevation of nuclear HNF-1α. However, the luciferase activity had no change with the variation of nuclear HNF-1α when the cells transfected with the plasmid of pGSTA1-ΔHNF1-LUC in which the HRE was mutated. In conclusion, HNF-1α could affect the transcription of GSTA1 and HNF-1 response element in the GSTA1 promoter region, which is functionally active for the GSTA1 transcription.

Environmentally toxic methylene blue organic pollutants are of more concerns due to their antagonistic effects on human health, animals, and plants, thus needs serious attention for their removal. For elimination purpose, the Sb-doped Mo(O,S) 3 oxy-sulfide nanoplate catalyst with different Sb contents was synthesized at low temperature of 95 °C via a facile method. The structural, morphological, chemical composition, optical properties , and electrical conductivity of the catalyst were characterized with different techniques. The photocatalytic performance of Sb-Mo(O,S) 3 at various Sb contents was investigated for the degradation of methylene blue dye under visible light irradiation using hydrogen peroxide as an effective electron scavenger to further accelerate the reaction. It was observed that the incorporation of Sb enhanced the catalytic activity. Sb-Mo(O,S) 3 -10 was the most efficient catalyst with excellent activity to degrade 99.7% of the dye within 60 min irradiation time. The degradation kinetics follows a pseudo-first-order reaction with a rate constant 8.78 × 10 −2 min −1 , which is 3-fold higher than that for Sb- Mo(O,S) 3 -0 catalyst. Sb-Mo(O,S) 3 -10 showed slower recombination of photogenerated charge carriers and lower charge transfer resistance which proved to be capable for the removal of toxic methylene blue organic pollutant.

Achieving high selectivity is one of the major challenges for the noble metal catalysts. A strategy of decoration of Pd nanoparticles by N–S doped carbon quantum dots (N,S-CQDs) to regulate selectivity is proposed. Through adjusting the loading amounts of N,S-CQDs, high selectivity toward catalytic hydrogenation reactions can be obtained. N,S-CQDs facilely adhere to the Pd nanoparticle via surface reactions among C–S/C–N species of N,S-CQDs and C–O species of the carbon support under the catalysis of Pd particles. N loss was detected due to the transformation of some C–N species into nitrogen-containing soluble substances or gas. However, S-containing species, specially −SO2/SO3 species, are turned into C–S–C (thiophene-S), leading to a strong coordination between Pd and S. As a result, a N,S-CQDs-Pd interface is fabricated, in which electrons transfer from Pd to S species and the interface of Pd–S plays a major role in hydrogen spillover and generation of dissociated hydrogen with negative charge. Consequently, Pd@N,S-CQDs suppress the hydrodehalogenation and exhibit superior conversion and selectivity (both 100%) for the selective hydrogenation of various halonitrobenzenes. N,S-CQDs as a nonmetallic promoter of metal catalysts provides a promising strategy for the improvement of selectivity.

The green tea leaf residue was used as the carbon source to produce carbon dots (named as T-CDs) by combining pyrolyzation at high temperature and oxidation by concentrated H 2 SO 4 . Owing to the co-doping of S and N, T-CDs possessed high fluorescence quantum yield up to 14.8%. The fluorescence of the T-CDs was stable to the environmental pH, ionic strength and ultraviolet radiation, but sensitive to temperature with switchable intensity between 15 °C and 65 °C. The fluorescence of T-CDs was also found to be quenched by gefitinib via the inner-filter effect. Thus, T-CDs were used as the fluorescence sensor for gefitinib determination with good linearity in the range of 0.1 μg/mL to 20 μg/mL with satisfactory accuracy. The proposed T-CDs were obtained based on waste recycling of tea leaf residue for sustainability, and this strategy widened the applications of CDs.

The occurrence of s -triazine herbicides in soils and groundwaters has been reported globally and remediation of these contaminated sites are essentially imperative, especially at accidental spill sites. Present work investigated the feasibility of using Fe 2+ catalyzed persulfate (PS) to effectively degrade s -triazine herbicides (e.g., atrazine (ATZ), terbuthylazine (TEA) and ametryn (AMT)) in soils. The degradation kinetics, mechanisms and soil-types effects were systematically investigated. For arable soil A1, extent of degradation reached 80% for 100 mg kg −1 ATZ contaminated soil after 600 min (PS/Fe 2+ of 16.6 mM/16.6 mM) at 23 °C. Increasing PS and Fe 2+ dosages could enhance ATZ degradation. Acidic condition was favorable for the degradation of ATZ with Fe 2+ /PS process and the contribution of SO 4 − to the overall degradation of ATZ decreased as initial pH increased. The ethyl group and chloride substituent on molecular structure of ATZ affected its degradation comparing to other two s -triazine herbicides. ATZ degradations in two arable soils and one paddy soil indicated that different soils with various physical-chemical properties, such as soil organic matter, available and total Fe contents, may influence the ATZ degradation. Moreover, a total of five degradation products of ATZ were identified in soil A1 by Fe 2+ /PS process. Three degradation pathways including alkyl chain oxidation, dealkylation and dechlorination-hydroxylation reactions with the underlying oxidation mechanisms were tentatively proposed.

The development of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) solar cells determines the prospect of thin-film photovoltaic devices because of some of their strengths. However, the usual solution fabrication processes of CZTSSe absorbing layers are either too tedious or highly toxic. Here, we have developed an alternative strategy to prepare kesterite CZTSSe absorber films with a simple and low-toxicity solution process by replacing the commonly employed thiol-based compounds using the glycolic acid aqueous solution, which significantly reduces the environment pollution and toxicity, providing a possibility toward the green solvent process. The power conversion efficiency of 6.81% has been acquired based the aqueous solution-processed CZTSSe thin film via optimizing the fabrication technology.

Luminescent carbon-based nanoparticles , named often as carbon dots (CDs), were synthesized from citric acid (CA) and guanidine thiocyanate (GITC) via an N and S co-doped hydrothermal procedure. In the present structure characterization, N and S elements could be sufficiently doped by means of the heteroatom or the functional groups bonded on the surface of CDs. The as-prepared CDs solution showed blue color fluorescence under ultraviolet excitation, yet the PL spectra exhibited a repetitive emission process from excitation-independent to excitation-dependent. In view of the triexponential feature of fluorescence lifetimes of CDs, one possibility was proposed to be co-existence of two types of CDs with different surface states. Additionally, the as-prepared CDs were used as a sensing probe for the detection of Ag + taking into consideration of the possible interactions between Ag + and various fluorophores attached to the CD surface. As expected, the changes of fluorescence intensities were linearly proportional to the different concentration ranges of Ag + , which suggests the complex nature of the quenching mechanism. And for the first time, the S C N group was found to accelerate the quenching of CDs towards Ag + , promising a new approach for efficient detection of Ag + for the application in industrial pollutants.
