A sensitive method has been established by using activated carbon as an adsorbent for extraction of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) from bean sprout, tomato, potato, cucumber, and wheat grain prior to field-amplified sample injection-micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (FASI-MEKC) detection. Parameters affecting FASI and solid-phase extraction (SPE) were optimized in detail. Under the optimal conditions, the sensitivity of SPE-FASI-MEKC for IAA and IBA was respectively improved by 32.5 and 29.7 times as compared with the direct MEKC. The detection limits were 4.1 for IAA and 5.3 ng mL −1 for IBA with 4.9–5.2% RSD ( n = 9, C = 0.03 μg mL −1 ). The new method has been successfully applied to detect IAA and IBA in bean sprout, tomato, potato, cucumber, and wheat grain with the recoveries of 81.7–110%.

Cesium-based inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are paid more attention because of their potential thermal stability. However, prevalent salt-doped 2,2′,7,7′-tetrakis(N,N-dipmethoxyphenylamine)9,9′-spirobifluorene (Spiro-OMeTAD) as hole-transport materials (HTMs) for a high-efficiency inorganic device has an unfortunate defective thermal stability. In this study, we apply poly (3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) as the HTM and design all-inorganic PSCs with an indium tin oxide (ITO)/SnO 2 /LiF/CsPbI 3− x Br x /P3HT/Au structure. As a result, the CsPbI 3 − x Br x PSCs achieve an excellent performance of 15.84%. The P3HT HTM-based device exhibits good photo-stability, maintaining ∼80% of their initial power conversion efficiency over 280 h under one Sun irradiation. In addition, they also show better thermal stability compared with the traditional HTM Spiro-OMeTAD.

Biodegradable trimethylolpropane triesters of oleic acid were synthesized by esterification of trimethylolpropane and oleic acid over a multi-SO 3 H-functionalized strong Brønsted acidic ionic liquid as the catalyst. The results showed that the esterification can proceed satisfactorily over the catalyst at an ambient pressure even without simultaneous removal of water. Under the optimal reaction conditions (temperature: 100 °C, reaction time: 3 h, reactant molar ratio: 3.6:1, and catalyst amount, high conversion rate of trimethylolpropane (99.0%) and selectivity of trimethylolpropane triester (92.1%) were obtained. The ionic liquid was reused six times after the removal of water and no obvious change in catalytic activity was detected. Operational simplicity, high yields along with good reusability makes the multi-SO 3 H-functionalized ionic liquid a promising catalyst for the esterification of trimethylolpropane with oleic acid.

We have developed a simple, rapid, and sensitive method for the determination of iodate in iodized salt and water samples. The method is making use of shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS) and is based on the oxidation of hydroxylammonium chloride by iodate to produce nitrite which then is used to diazotize with p-nitroaniline. The resulting diazonium ion is then coupled to N-(1-naphthyl) ethylenediamine dihydrochloride to form an azo dye whose concentration is determined by SHINERS. The active substrate used in SHINERS is composed of gold nanoparticles coated with an ultrathin silica shell possessing pinholes on their surface. Various factors that influence the chemical reaction and the intensity of SHINERS were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, the Raman intensity is linearly related to the concentration of iodate in the 7.5–130.0 μg L −1 range, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9920. The limit of detection is 2.0 μg L −1 , and the relative standard deviation is 7.5 % (for n = 5) at 1,138 cm −1 without additional sample pre-concentration. The method was successfully applied to the determination of iodate in iodized salt and water samples. The accuracy was assessed through recovery tests and independent analysis by a conventional titrimetric method.
Based on the oxidation of hydroxylammonium chloride by iodate to produce nitrite, then nitrite was transformed into azo dye by diazotization-coupling reaction. A simple, rapid and sensitive method for the determination of iodate by shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy was developed.

In situ thermal desorption (ISTD) technology effectively remediates soil contaminated by dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs). However, more efforts are required to minimize the energy consumption of ISTD technology. This study developed a laboratory-scale experimental device to explore the coupling merits of two traditional desorption technologies: steam-enhanced extraction (SEE) and electrical resistance heating (ERH). The results showed that injecting high-density steam (> 1 g/min) into loam or clay with relatively high moisture content (> 13.3%) could fracture the soil matrix and lead to the occurrence of the preferential flow of steam. For ERH alone, the electrical resistance and soil moisture loss were critical factors influencing heating power. When ERH and SEE were combined, preheating soil by ERH could increase soil permeability, effectively alleviating the problem of preferential flow of SEE. Meanwhile, steam injection heated the soil and provided moisture for maintaining soil electrical conductivity, thereby ensuring power stability in the ERH process. Compared with ERH alone (8 V/cm) and SEE alone (1 g/min steam), the energy consumption of combined method in remediating perchloroethylene-contaminated soil was reduced by 39.3% and 52.9%, respectively. These findings indicate that the combined method is more favorable than ERH or SEE alone for remediating DNAPL-contaminated subsurfaces when considering ISTD technology.

Comparison of surface and interfacial properties of internal olefin sulfonates (IOS) and alpha olefin sulfonates (AOS) shows that hydrocarbon chain branching has a significant influence on interfacial properties at the air–water, pentadecane–water and parafilm–water interfaces. The isomeric branched IOS shows a higher critical micelle concentration and are more effective in reducing the surface tension at the air–water interface by occupying a larger area per molecule. IOS exhibits better dynamic air–water interfacial properties due to a lower meso-equilibrium surface tension. The equilibrium interfacial tensions for AOS and IOS have no remarkable difference at the pentadecane–water interface. The water wettability and electrolyte tolerance are enhanced with branched hydrocarbon chain olefin sulfonates.

The spent carbon cathode (SCC) is a hazardous solid waste from aluminum production. It has an abundant carbon source and a unique graphitic carbon layer structure, making it a valuable waste for recycling. This paper uses alkaline and acid leaching methods to report a straightforward way of extracting recovered carbon (RC) from SCC as anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The results show that alkaline and acid leaching conditions at 70 °C with 1 M NaOH and HCl solution individually in 6 h and a liquid-solid ratio of 20:1 can result in RC with up to 94.63% carbon content than 49.38% in SCC, exhibiting a typical graphite structure. SCC and RC materials are obtained after calcination at 400 °C in an inert atmosphere and used as anode materials (SCC-400 and RC-400). In this paper, The initial charging specific capacities are 490.0 mA h g −1 , 195.4 mA h g −1 , and 423.2 mA h g −1 and initial coulombic efficiencies (ICE) are 67.8%, 78.9%, and 72.0% of RC-400, SCC, and SCC-400. RC-400 also shows excellent capacity retention and impedance values. This exciting finding provides a viable, non-hazardous, and resourceful method for treating and disposing of SCC from aluminum electrolysis.

The accumulation and autoxidation of residual oily soil from human sebum is regarded as a major reason for the aging and yellowing of clothing and household textiles. In this study, the yellowing degree of cotton fabrics soiled with human sebum components and aged under various environmental conditions (various temperatures, humidities and light intensities etc.) were investigated. The representative sebum components including olive oil, squalene, oleic acid and cottonseed oil were selected and their chemical changes were studied by FTIR analysis. The results showed that, olive oil, squalene, oleic acid and cottonseed oil could caused more significant fabric-yellowing than other components in human sebum, and the yellowing degree could become higher with increasing temperatures, humidities and/or light intensities of aging environments. The chemical structures of olive oil, squalene and oleic acid changed remarkably after aging treatment. The aging products contained hydroxyl groups and carbonyl groups, and the conjugated C=O group was considered to be the chemical species leading to the yellowing of sebum-soiled fabrics.

Crystalline zirconium dioxide nanorods have been prepared by a simple hydrothermal process using zirconium hydroxide as the zirconium raw material. Zirconium dioxide nanorods are composed of monoclinic zirconium dioxide phase, which has been confirmed by the X-ray diffraction analysis. Electron microscopy observations show that the zirconium dioxide nanorods have a single crystal structure, with the rod diameter of less than 100 nm and length of 1–2 μm. Hydrothermal temperature and reaction time play essential roles in the formation and growth of the zirconium dioxide nanorods. Nucleation and crystal growth process are proposed to explain the formation and growth of the zirconium dioxide nanorods.

Lactic acid and pyruvic acid are important metabolites in the tricarboxylic acid cycle that can reflect the cytoplasmic redox state and mitochondrial respiratory chain function. The combination of these acids is considered as a screening index for mitochondrial disorders. Due to their biological effects, a derivatization method was developed to simultaneously detect pyruvic acid and lactic acid in tissue and cell culture media using gas chromatography. In this work, the combined derivatization method with methoxyamine hydrochloride and isobutyl chloroformate was first proposed. To improve the efficiency of derivatization, in situ derivatization-ultrasound-assisted emulsification microextraction (USAEME) was used in this study. After optimizing the volume of reagents and reaction times, good linearity values were obtained from 50 to 1000 μmol/L and 1 to 100 μmol/L for lactic acid and pyruvic acid, respectively. The limits of detection (LODs) were 0.12 μmol/L for lactic acid and 0.29 μmol/L for pyruvic acid. The recoveries of the two analytes were between 93.60 and 102.80%, and the precisions were less than 6.20%. This method was successfully applied to quantify pyruvic acid and lactic acid in the animal and cellular hypoxia models which provided an auxiliary means for the diagnosis of mitochondrial diseases.

Acidic Cr(VI)-containing wastewater has received increasing attention in recent years. Schwertmannite is a suitable adsorbent for its acid resistance and good adsorption ability. However, it shows poor Cr(VI) adsorption performance under acidic conditions. Herein, inspired by the fast neutralization-mineralization process of acid mine drainage (AMD) triggered by alkaline rocks, a novel nano-scaled schwertmannite (Sch-2.7) with high Cr(VI) adsorption capacity was synthesized at constant pH of 2.7 via adding OH − . Compared with common schwertmannite (Sch), appropriate OH − effectively improved mineral yield (the precipitation efficiency of Fe: 96.75% vs. 29.93%), specific surface area (65.1 m 2 /g vs. 18.9 m 2 /g), surface group content, and further Cr(VI) adsorption ability of Sch-2.7. The maximum adsorption capacity was 54.17 (pH = 3), 61.59 (pH = 4), and 66.5 mg/g (pH = 5) for Sch-2.7, whereas only 20.35, 24.51, and 27.17 mg/g for Sch. On average, the former was 2.53 times higher than the latter. Temperature and coexisting ions had little influences on the sorption process of Sch-2.7. The mechanism analysis demonstrated that the Cr(VI) removal by Sch-2.7 was a more thermodynamic favorable process due to abundant reactive-active components on Sch-2.7 for adsorption reaction. This work provided new insight into performance optimization and application potential on Cr(VI) removal of schwertmannite.
