In this work, for the first time, neutral red functionalized Fe3O4@SiO2 was prepared, characterized and subsequently used for magnetic solid phase extraction of Hg(II) from environmental water samples followed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry determination. TEM images shows uniform decoration of SiO2 on the Fe3O4 surface (with a typical particle size of 220 nm). The FT-IR analysis indicates that neutral red was combined with the SiO2 surface by chemical bonds. Trace levels of Hg(II) can be extracted efficiently and selectively due to the electrostatic and coordinate interactions of Hg(II) and neutral red. Parameters affecting the quantitative recovery of Hg(II) were investigated, and the optimized values were 6.0, 25 mg, 60 min, and 5 mL of 1.0 mol L−1 HNO3 for pH value of the solution, amount of the extractant, equilibration time and volume, concentration of eluent, respectively. Under the optimized conditions, at Hg(II) concentrations as low as 2 ng mL−1, the recovery is >85%, and the enrichment factor is as high as 100. The commonly encountered ions show no interference with the extraction process. The material can be regenerated and reused at least ten times without loss of adsorption capacity (84 mg g−1). In addition, magnetic separation greatly simplifies the extraction procedure and filtration and/or centrifugation processes were avoided. The material was successfully applied for the separation and pre-concentration of low levels of Hg(II) in environmental water samples with satisfactory results.

It is highly desired yet challenging to develop advanced elastomers with excellent mechanical properties, including high strength and toughness. In this work, strong and tough rubber/rubber compound vulcanizates were facilely prepared by blending ethylene-propylene-methylene (EPM) and isoprene rubber (IR) together with dicumyl peroxide (DCP) and subsequent vulcanization, since both EPM and IR can be vulcanized synchronously by DCP and the well-crosslinked structure of EPM/IR vulcanizate presented a stable phase separation state. By tuning their composition, EPM/IR vulcanizates could present remarkably improved mechanical strength and toughness, as well as excellent energy dissipation and deformation recovery abilities. Furthermore, EPM/IR/SiO2nanocomposites with better properties were prepared by introducing silica nanoparticles into EPM/IR vulcanizates. It was found that the high toughness and strength of EPM/IR vulcanizates and EPM/IR/SiO2nanocomposites mainly resulted from the combination of stretchability of EPM and strain hardening of IR. Their excellent energy dissipation and deformation recovery abilities were related to the macromolecular characteristics of EPM and IR, compatibility between EPM and IR, and their crosslinking dynamics.

The development of a novel strategy for the measurement of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies is of vital significance forCOVID-19diagnosis and effect of vaccination evaluation. In this investigation, an SiO2@Au@CDs nanoparticle (NP)-based lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) strip was fabricated and coupled with a miniaturized fluorimeter. The morphology features and particle sizes of the SiO2@Au@CDs NPs were characterized carefully, and the results indicated that the materials possess monodisperse, uniform, and spherical structures. Finally, this system was employed for SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody test. In this work, the strategy for the SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody test possesses several merits, such as speed (less than 15 min), high sensitivity (1.2 × 10−7mg/mL), broad linearity range (7.4 × 10−7~7.4 × 10−4mg/mL), accurate results, high selectivity, good stability, and low cost. Additionally, future trends in LFAs using quantum dot-based diagnostics are envisioned.

Phospholipase D (PLD) plays a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylserine (PS), but its practical application is constrained by limitations in stability and reusability. In this study, we successfully fabricated the Fe3O4@SiO2–graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposite by chemical binding of Fe3O4@SiO2and GO. Subsequently, PLD was immobilized onto the nanocomposite via physical adsorption, with the aim of enhancing catalytic stability, reducing mass transfer resistance, and improving reusability. Under optimal conditions, the immobilization efficiency reached 84.4%, with a PLD loading capacity of 111.4 mg/gsupport. The optimal pH for PS production by immobilized PLD shifted from 6.0 to 6.5, while the optimal temperature increased from 45 °C to 50 °C. Notably, the immobilized PLD demonstrated a shorter reaction time and a higher PS yield, achieving a 95.4% yield within 90 min, compared to the free PLD (78.1% yield within 150 min), representing a 1.04-fold improvement in production efficiency. Furthermore, the immobilized PLD exhibited outstanding storage stability and thermal stability, along with remarkable reusability. Even after being reused for 10 cycles, the PS yield still stays as high as 78.3%. These findings strongly suggest that the Fe3O4@SiO2–GO immobilized PLD has the potential for the efficient production of PS.

Hydrogels have become a focal point in oil-water separation technologies owing to their pronounced hydrophilicity and manageable viscosity. However, traditional hydrogels often suffer from subpar physical and mechanical strength. Our research introduces a semi-interpenetrating network (Semi-IPN) hydrogel composed of polyacrylamide and chitosan network (PAM/CSn), distinguished by both physical and chemical cross-linking to boost mechanical robustness. Experimental results demonstrate that polyacrylamide/chitosan network-SiO 2 @stainless steel mesh (PAM/CSn-SiO 2 @SSM) not only displays exceptional superoleophobic properties underwater (OCA >150°) but also maintains over 99 % separation efficiency across >20 cycles in diverse conditions including acidic, alkaline, and saline environments. In addition, the composite coating excelled in self-cleaning of viscous oils and in oil-in-water emulsion oil removal (92 %). Compared with previous polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogels, our composite coating also possesses corrosion resistance to acids and alkalis and excellent ability to separate oil-water mixtures in harsh environments. These findings underscore the substantial potential of polyacrylamide/chitosan network-SiO 2 @stainless steel mesh (PAM/CSn-SiO 2 @SSM) composites in enhancing oil-water separation techniques.

Transferrin (TRF) is the main iron-containing protein in plasma, responsible for carrying iron from digestive absorption and released from the erythrocyte degradation. The plasma TRF levels can be used to diagnose anemia and monitor treatment. Herein, a sandwich type biosensor was developed for the sensitive and efficient TRF detection utilizing the affinity of boronic acid and specific recognition of antibody. TRF can be captured by the facilely synthesized phenylboronic acid decorated SiO 2 @Fe 3 O 4 magnetic nanoparticle (PBA-SiO 2 @Fe 3 O 4 ), and then the antibody functionalized Au,Pt,Cu@polydopamine (Ab-Au,Pt,Cu@PDA) with peroxidase-like activity was bond to TRF to form the sandwich conjugate. After the prompt magnetic separation and catalysis with the chromogenic substrates (TMB and H 2 O 2 ), the distinct color development can be observed and measured for the TRF quantification. The proposed method shows satisfied performance with a detection range of 0.128–2000 ng/mL and LOD of 0.051 ng/mL. Moreover, this approach possesses excellent stability and simple operation, without complicated sample pretreatment. Consequently, this biosensor poses a significant potential for the diagnosis and monitoring of abnormal TRF levels-related diseases.

Green iron-based materials suffer from severe alkaline deactivation and limited photoactivity, restricting synergistic pollutant remediation. Herein, a bioinspired microenvironment engineering strategy to convert copper slag into amorphous SiO 2 -stabilized Mn-doped ferrous oxalate hollow tubus (MnFeOx@SiO 2 ). In the complex, amorphous SiO 2 neutralizes external alkalinity, while Si−OH dissociation maintains an weak-acidic microenvironment, preventing hydrolysis deactivation and ensuring robust photo-Fenton cycles. Experimental and DFT studies reveal that silicate-derived silica gel synergizes with glycerol to direct MnFeOx axial growth, forming channeled hollow tubes that enhance light harvesting and mass transfer. Concurrently, Mn doping builds Fe−O−Mn interfaces optimizing Fe d -band centers via d-d hybridization, accelerating charge separation. The catalyst showed exceptional performance under wide pH range (pH 2 −9), achieving 96.4 % methyl orange degradation and 98.2 % Cr(VI) reduction within 5 min. It exhibits 22.1/10.0-fold activity enhancement over FeC 2 O 4 under alkaline conditions and > 85.1 %/85.4 % stability after ten cycles. This work pioneers waste-derived catalysts for pH-universal water purification.

Composite fabrics with integrated photothermal conversion, heat collection, and antibacterial properties are urgently needed to enhance personal thermal management in northern cold regions. Herein, a designed sandwich-like structure, in which PEG@SiO2 microcapsules were intercalated into the MXene interlayers (PEG@SiO2/MXene), was proposed to achieve the fast solar-thermal conversion and the surplus solar-generated heat storage and release and even further corresponding fabrics with antibacterial properties for the personal thermal management. Remarkably, the prepared PEG@SiO2/MXene (PSM) exhibited fast solar-to-heat conversion, followed-on heat storage ability, with an average temperature rising rate of 8.1 °C/min under one-sunlight irradiation and a phase change enthalpy of 155.7 J/g. Furthermore, under one-sunlight irradiation, the designed antibacterial composite fabrics with PSM coatings could greatly increase the local working temperature from 1 °C to 27.3 °C compared with the reference traditional cotton fabrics (from only 1 °C to 6.5 °C). This work provides a potential multifunctional composite material/fabric for the development of personal thermal management in outdoor sunlight applications.

In this study, laser-assisted micro-arc oxidation (LMAO) processing was carried out on Ti6Al4V alloy under laser powers of 30, 45, and 60 W, and the influence of the laser power on the microstructure and wear resistance of the coating was further investigated. The breakdown voltage and termination voltages of LMAO processing decrease gradually as the laser power increases. At the same time, micro-discharges increase in quantity. Within the suitable laser power range (30–45 W), the obtained coating continuously enhances uniformity, thickness, and density with rising power, contributing to higher hardness and adhesion strength . However, raising laser power to 60 W will damage the obtained coating due to the violent micro-discharges, which generate interconnected larger pores in the local area. Laser power also affects the coating's reaction process and phase transition. More electrolyte ions dope into the coating as a consequence of increasing laser power. The Si concentration of the LMAO-45 coating is the highest, whereas that of the LMAO-60 coating comparatively reduces due to localized coating detachment. Moreover, enhancing laser power is more conducive to forming SiO 2 and rutile-TiO 2 phases. Compared with the traditional MAO or other LMAO coatings, the LMAO-45 coating significantly improves wear protection, evidenced by the lowest COF value , the minimum wear rate, and the least peeling during the wear test . Low porosity, surface roughness , high thickness, and increased incorporation of the SiO 2 phase are responsible for the same. However, under 60 W of laser irradiation , the wear resistance of the resultant LMAO coating decreased due to the formation of local damaged areas.

The role of a hydrophilic amorphous SiO 2 layer in the corrosion behavior of P110 steel at different temperatures during water-alternating-supercritical CO 2 (sCO 2 ) injection oil recovery was investigated. This study utilized a combination of experiments and molecular dynamics simulation. The results indicated that sCO 2 formed hydrogen bonds with hydroxyl groups on the surface of the hydrophilic amorphous SiO 2 layer, resulting in CO 2 enrichment at the deposited layer-P110 steel interface. The results further demonstrated that the hydrophilic amorphous SiO 2 layer, when subjected to different temperatures, played a crucial role in the CO 2 corrosion of P110 steel. In addition, the oxidation film formed by water injection at low temperatures was found to potentially inhibit CO 2 corrosion. However, with increasing temperature, localized oxygen absorption corrosion promoted subsequent CO 2 corrosion. At 333 K, with increased CO 2 diffusion capacity and enhanced CO 2 -P110 steel interaction energy, the FeCO 3 de-carbonation reaction transformed into creviced Fe 3 O 4 , which formed distinct internal and external corrosion layers on P110 steel. The crevice corrosion further exacerbated the degree of metal corrosion.

The surface passivation strategy is one of the effective ways to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of quantum dots-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs). In this work, a novel ZnS/SiO 2 coating serves as the passivation layers for the CdS/CdSe co-sensitized solar cells based on zinc titanium mixed metal oxides (MMOs) obtained from layered double hydroxides (LDHs) precursor. The incorporation of passivation layers effectively improved the performance of the corresponding CdS/CdSe quantum dots co-sensitized solar cells and the best PCE of 4.91% has been achieved, which represents an over 55% improvement than that of devices without passivation. The effects of ZnS/SiO 2 double passivation layers were systematically investigated, especially by 2D time-resolved fluorescence imaging and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique . It was revealed that the existence of ZnS/SiO 2 outer layers caused the suppression of charge recombination, higher electrons collection efficiency, and superior surface quality.

A series of low-cost α-Ni(OH) 2 /SiO 2 catalysts were successfully fabricated by the vapor-induced internal hydrolysis method, then the hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) was investigated by using the ethanol as the hydrogen donor over these as-prepared α-Ni(OH) 2 /SiO 2 catalysts. Based on the reaction results, these as-prepared catalysts, which could dispense with extra pre-reduction treatment before reactions, exhibited superior catalytic performance for the HMF hydrogenation to BHMF. A remarkable intrinsic selectivity of BHMF selectivity of almost 100% with about 90% HMF conversion could be obtained under 195 °C for 5 h in an N 2 atmosphere over the α-Ni(OH) 2 /SiO 2 catalyst of 5-Ni(OH) 2 /SiO 2 with about 5 wt% Ni on SiO 2 . The almost constant HMF conversion and BHMF intrinsic selectivity found from the recycling tests can indicate that the catalyst was stable without the obvious loss of its catalytic activity after recycling. Moreover, the mechanism of HMF hydrogenation using ethanol over the α-Ni(OH) 2 /SiO 2 catalysts could be referred to as the mechanism of the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reaction. This work will provide a simple synthesis method for future design and development of high-performance, low-cost, and low-energy consumption catalysts for HMF hydrogenation to BHMF.
