The construction and design of highly efficient and inexpensive bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts substitute for noble-metal-based catalysts is highly desirable for the development of rechargeable Zn-air battery (ZAB). In this work, a bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts of based on ultrafine CoFe alloy (4-5 nm) dispersed in defects enriched hollow porous Co-N-doped carbons, made by annealing SiO 2 coated zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) encapsulated Fe ions. The hollow porous structure not only exposed the active sites inside ZIF-67, but also provided efficient charge and mass transfer. The strong synergetic coupling among high-density CoFe alloys and Co-N x sites in Co, N-doped carbon species ensures high oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity. First-principles simulations reveal that the synergistic promotion effect between CoFe alloy and Co-N site effectively reduced the formation energy of from O* to OH*. The optimized CoFe-Co@PNC exhibits outstanding electrocatalytic stability and activity with the overpotential of only 320 mV for OER at 10 mA·cm −2 and the half-wave potential of 0.887 V for ORR, outperforming that of most recent reported bifunctional electrocatalysts. A rechargeable ZAB constructed with CoFe-Co@PNC as the air cathode displays long-term cyclability for over 200 h and high power density (152.8 mW·cm −2 ). Flexible solid-state ZAB with our CoFe-Co@PNC as the air cathode possesses a high open circuit potential (OCP) up to 1.46 V as well as good bending flexibility. This universal structure design provides an attractive and instructive model for the application of nanomaterials derived from MOF in the field of sustainable flexible energy applications device.

In this study, hierarchical porous polyacrylonitrile nanofibers were fabricated via electrospinning zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN), followed by tannic acid (TA) etching and amidoximation (denoted as p-PAN-AO). The as-prepared p-PAN-AO was utilized to remove radioactive U(VI) from sewage water and simulated seawater. The influence of uranium adsorption on p-PAN-AO was investigated as a function of uranium concentration, pH, and time. Adsorption kinetic experiments indicated that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model was fitted better than the pseudo-first-order model. Benefiting from amidoximation and hierarchical porous structure, the nanoadsorbent exhibited a high U(VI) adsorption capacity of 412.28 mg/g at 298 K. The thermodynamic analysis manifested a spontaneous and endothermic nature of U(VI) adsorption. The results demonstrated a potential application of the reported materials in nuclear wastewater and environmental cleanup.

We report a method of in-situ modification of phenolic resin (PR) on improving thermal stability with graphene/SiO 2 hybrids at an ultralow filler loading. GO/SiO 2 hybrids were prepared by electrostatic adsorption method and chemically reduced to RGO/SiO 2 hybrids by NaBH 4 . The effect of in-situ modification of PR by GO/SiO 2 and RGO/SiO 2 on thermal stability of PR was studied. The results of SEM, XRD and FTIR showed that the hybrids and in-situ polymerization had a significant effect on improving the thermal property of PR. The TG and DTG analyses demonstrated that the thermal performance of PR in 350–500 °C was improved prominently. The T 5% and T 10% of 0.1 wt% (RGO–SiO 2 )/PR were increased by 165.56 °C and 89.23 °C compared with the pure PR, reaching 381.77 °C and 466.20 °C, respectively. Moreover, the R 800°C of 0.1 wt% (GO–SiO 2 )/PR and 0.1 wt% (RGO–SiO 2 )/PR reached 69.86 wt% and 70.20 wt%, which increased by 10.75% and 11.29%, respectively, compared with pure PR. Therefore, the application of graphene/SiO 2 hybrids in the in-situ polymerization modification of PR can significantly improve the thermal stability of PR and broaden its application fields.

The inhibitive effect and inhibition mechanism of l -lysine derivatives, namely α- N -benzyloxycarbonyl- l -lysine (α-NL) and ε- N -benzyloxycarbonyl- l -lysine (ε-NL), on the corrosion of carbon steel in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 solution were investigated by electrochemical technique, weightlessness test, scanning electron microscope, atomic force microscope, infrared attenuated reflectance spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculation. The results showed that α-NL and ε-NL as moderate cathodic inhibitors mainly inhibited the cathodic reaction of carbon steel in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 solution, and the terminal substituted ε-NL showed better corrosion inhibition than the α- N -benzyloxycarbonyl protected α-NL. Their inhibition efficiencies increased with the increase in inhibitor concentration, and the inhibition efficiency of α-NL and ε-NL with concentration of 10 mmol can reach 53.4% and 61.5%, respectively, but decreased with rising temperature. The adsorption of investigated inhibitors on the surface of carbon steel obeyed the modified Langmuir isotherm and El-Awady thermodynamic-kinetic model, and the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters were determined to discuss the mechanism of inhibition of α-NL and ε-NL. Moreover, Quantum chemical calculation gave further insight into the inhibition mechanism of α-NL and ε-NL and was employed to reveal the reasons for their differences in inhibition performance.

A rolling circle amplification chemiluminescence immunoassay (RCA-CLIA) was developed for precise quantitation of Aβ in plasma. Capture antibodies conjugated with magnetic beads and detection antibodies with collateral single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) were bound to Aβ42/Aβ40 antigens to form a typical double-antibody sandwich structure. The RCA reaction was triggered by the addition of ssDNA, which generated products with a large number of sites for the binding of acridinium ester (AE)–labeled detection probes, thereby realizing the purpose of the amplification. The RCA-CLIA method had higher sensitivity than conventional CLIA without loss of specificity. Under optimum conditions, the linear range of Aβ42 and Aβ40 detection was 3.9–140 pg/mL and 3.9–180 pg/mL, respectively, with corresponding low detection limits of 1.99 pg/mL and 3.14 pg/mL, respectively. Plasma Aβ42 and Aβ40 were detected in the blood of 21 AD patients and 22 healthy people, wherein this ratio could significantly distinguish AD patients from healthy individuals with a sensitivity of 90.48% and specificity of 63.64% for a cutoff value of 154. The Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio of plasma acts as an accurate indicator for AD diagnosis; therefore, detection of plasma Aβ using the RCA-CLIA exhibits great potential in noninvasive diagnosis and progressive assessment of AD.

Abstract Shape memory hydrogels attract increasing attention due to their promising applications as intelligent biomaterials for actuators, biomedicine and sensory applications. Nonetheless, the integration of synergistic characteristics providing good mechanical properties and ideal self-recovery rate still remains a challenge. To tackle this, we develop a novel nanocomposite hydrogel by radical polymerization. TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNs) with high strength and ultra-high aspect ratio were introduced to improve the energy dissipation mechanism and enhance the fatigue resistance of polyacrylamide (PAAM) hydrogel. Interestingly, the nanocomposite hydrogel displays unprecedented shape memory properties through coordination with Fe 3+ . The resulting TOCN/PAAM hydrogel achieves excellent energy dissipation capability (9.68 MJ m −3 at 60% strain), satisfactory viscoelasticity (51.1 kPa) and good self-recovery rate (about 93.2% after 30 min recovery). In particular, the 3% TOCN/PAAM-Fe 3+ hydrogel exhibits better tensile performance. This nanocomposite hydrogel with good shape memory properties and excellent mechanical strength has broad application prospects in soft actuators and sensory research. Graphic abstract

Laccases are versatile oxidases that are capable of decolorizing various synthetic dyes. Recombinant Bacillus amyloliquefaciens laccase was immobilized as magnetic cross-linked enzyme aggregates (M-CLEAs) for application in dye decolorization. Several parameters influencing the activity recovery were evaluated during the synthesis of M-CLEAs. With ammonium sulfate as precipitant, maximum activity was recovered by cross-linking with 0.16% glutaraldehyde for 1 h. The prepared M-CLEAs exhibited improved activity under alkaline conditions. It remained 74% activity after incubation at 60 °C for 5 h. Enhanced tolerance towards NaCl was also observed for the M-CLEAs, with 68% activity remaining in the presence of 1 M NaCl. The immobilized laccase could rapidly decolorize more than 93% of reactive black 5 and indigo carmine in 1 h, while its catalytic efficiency towards reactive blue 19 was relatively low. After four cycles of consecutive reuse, the M-CLEAs could decolorize 92% of indigo carmine. The easy recovery and reusability of M-CLEAs facilitate the potential application of bacterial laccase in dye decolorization.

Background Amphiphilic block copolymers used as nanomicelle drug carriers can effectively overcome poor drug solubility and specificity issues. Hence, these platforms have a broad applicability in cancer treatment. In this study, Pluronic F127 was used to fabricate nanomicelles containing the histone deacetylase inhibitor SAHA, which has an epigenetic-driven anti-cancer effect in several tumor types. SAHA-loaded nanomicelles were prepared using a thin-film drying method and characterized for size, surface charge, drug content, and drug release properties. Loaded particles were tested for in vitro activity and their effect on cell cycle and markers of cancer progression.Results Following detailed particle characterization, cell proliferation experiments demonstrated that SAHA-loaded nanomicelles more effectively inhibited the growth of HeLa and MCF-7 cell lines compared with free drug formulations. The 30 nm SAHA containing nanoparticles were able to release up to 100% of the encapsulated drug over a 72 h time window. Moreover, gene and protein expression analyses suggested that their cytoreductive effect was achieved through the regulation of p21 and p53 expression. SAHA was also shown to up-regulate E-cadherin expression, potentially influencing tumor migration.Conclusion sThis study highlights the opportunity to exploit pluronic-based nanomicelles for the delivery of compounds that regulate epigenetic processes, thus inhibiting cancer development and progression.

Capsules containing corrosion inhibitors have drawn considerable attention in the field of self-healing corrosion protection because of their appropriate size and high efficiency. ZnO has become a type of promising encapsulants due to its high structural tunability and unique surface chemical property. Meanwhile, carbon dots (CDs) have huge application potential to replace the existing toxic corrosion inhibitors. Herein, a corrosion-resistant microcapsule with nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDs) as the core material and ZnO as the wall material (NCD@ZnO MCs) was developed to exert perfectly the advantages of the two materials. The NCDs were first synthesized by solvothermal method, and the NCD@ZnO MCs were then fabricated just by stirring at room temperature. The morphology, microstructure and composition of NCDs and NCD@ZnO MCs were characterized, respectively. The superiority of NCD@ZnO MCs in improving the anti-corrosion resistance of waterborne coatings was also discussed. The results showed that the obtained NCDs had a size distribution of 2–5 nm and the N-doping content was 6.56%. The size distribution and shell thickness of the prepared NCD@ZnO MCs were 100–200 nm and 30–90 nm, respectively. The encapsulation efficiency of NCDs was 34.69 ± 3.04%. The release behavior of NCD@ZnO MCs exhibited a dependence on salt concentration. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements showed that NCD@ZnO MCs as fillers significantly improved the durability of the coating in terms of anti-corrosion resistance in all solutions with different salt concentrations. This smart filler is a promising candidate for application in anti-corrosive coatings, due to its low toxicity, facile synthetic route, near nanoscale size and sensitive environmental responsiveness.

The electron-ion coupling in iontronics has great significance and potential for energy conversion and storage devices. However, it is a substantial challenge to integrate iontronics into all-solid-state semiconductor circuits and explore the electron-ion coupling in semiconductor devices. Here, by utilizing the organic-inorganic halide perovskite, we fabricate a planar heterojunction with a gradient distribution of halide anions. The diode-like halide migration was investigated by bias voltage induced asymmetric blue shift in photoluminescence spectrum. This pseudo-ionic diode behaviour was found to result from asymmetric charge injection characterized by I–V curves and gradient-halides-induced vacancy hopping indicated by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The planar gradient perovskite heterojunction provides a viable route for extending iontronic devices into the regime of all-solid-state semiconductors.

A new electrocatalytic biosensor (MOF-74(Cu) NS-CC) based on the in situ deposition of MOF-74(Cu) nanosheet on carbon cloth via a bottom-up synthetic approach in a glass tube was developed. The electrocatalytic activity of the deposited MOF-74(Cu) NS was demonstrated in the oxidation of glucose to gluconate under alkaline conditions. The results revealed that the proposed method of in situ formation of MOF-74(Cu) NS onto a carbon cloth surface in a multi-layer solution is capable to generate a stable MOF-74(Cu) NS-CC electrode with excellent sensing performance. When the as-synthesized MOF-74(Cu) NS-CC was applied directly as the working electrode for glucose sensing, it showed much higher conductivity and redox activity than MOF-74(Cu) NS-GCE. With the potential applied at 0.55 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), this new electrocatalytic biosensor exhibits an excellent linear relationship between current density and concentration of glucose. Moreover, a wide linear range of detection (1.0 to 1000 μM) was observed. The limit of detection was found to be 0.41 μM (S/ N = 3). The response sensitivity is 3.35 mA mM −1 cm −2 when the concentration of glucose is in the range 1–100 μM and 3.81 mA mM −1 cm −2 for the 100–1000 μM concentration range. This study provides a low-cost, easy to prepare, and reproducible methodology for the synthesis of highly redox-active nanomaterials based on the in situ formation of two-dimensional MOF-74(Cu) NS for the development of new electrocatalytic biosensors.

In this work, a series of fluorene-containing fluorinated polyethersulfone (PES-6AF/BHPF) copolymers with high temperature resistance and intrinsic low dielectric constant (low- ε ) have been designed and synthesized from 4,4′-dichlorophenyl sulfone (DCS) and polyphenol. The performance of obtained PES-6AF/BHPF can be controlled and optimized by controlling the copolymers structure. The thermal and dielectric properties of PES-6AF/BHPF were evaluated comprehensively. The obtained PES-6AF/BHPF copolymers show high glass transition temperatures ( T g ) ranging from 200 to 260 °C, and 5% weight loss temperatures ( T d5% ) is stable up to 500 °C. The ε value of PES-6AF/BHPF-0% and PES-6AF/BHPF-100% are as low as 2.1 and 2.3, and the loss tangent (tan δ ) are only 0.0088 and 0.003 at 1 kHz, respectively. In addition, all of PES-6AF/BHPF films show good stability of dielectric properties in high temperature conditions. More importantly, the PES-6AF/BHPF copolymers are soluble in common solvents (such as DMAc, NMP, DMF, THF). The PES-6AF/BHPF copolymers are amorphous and can be easily cast into transparent and flexible films with tensile strength of 62–74 MPa and an elongation at break of 13.3–15.8%. The outstanding comprehensive properties made it possible to be the most promising polymer candidates for high-performance interlayer dielectrics.
