Broadband optoelectronic devices intrigue enormous interests on account of their promising potential in optical communications, sensors and environmental monitoring. PbSe nanocrystals are promising candidates for the construction of next-generation photodetectors due to their fascinating intrinsic properties and solution-processed compatibility with varied substrates. Here, we report the fabrication of a broadband photodetector on the basis of high-quality solution-processed PbSe nanorods in rock-salt phase grown along unconventionally anisotropic growth direction of <112> zone axis. The rock-salt PbSe nanorods are synthesized in solution phase over the catalysis of Ag 2 Se with relatively high-temperature body-centered cubic phase via a solution-solid-solid growth regime using oleylamine and oleic acid as solvents and stabilizer surfactants, from which the PbSe nanorods with the unconventionally anisotropic growth direction are controllably grown in size and shape in the synthetic procedure typically with about 17 nm in diameter and 58 nm in length on average. Meanwhile, the PbSe nanorods-based photodetector exhibits a broadband response from 405 to 1,064 nm with a high responsivity of 0.78 A·W −1 and a fast response time of 17.5 µs. The response time is much faster in comparison with most of the PbSe-based photodetectors with response time in millisecond level.

Allura red (AR) is a widely used colorant in food industry, but may have a potential security risk. In this study, the properties of interaction between AR and human serum albumin (HSA) in vitro were determined by fluorescence, UV–Vis absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy combining with multivariate curve resolution–alternating least squares (MCR–ALS) chemometrics and molecular modeling approaches. An expanded UV–Vis data matrix was resolved by MCR–ALS method, and the concentration profiles and pure spectra for the three reaction components (AR, HSA, and AR–HSA complex) of the system were then successfully obtained to evaluate the progress interaction of AR with HSA. The calculated thermodynamic parameters indicated that hydrogen binding and hydrophobic interactions played major roles in the binding process, and the interaction induced a decrease in the protein surface hydrophobicity. The competitive experiments revealed that AR mainly located in Sudlow’s site I of HSA, and this result was further supported by molecular modeling studies. Analysis of CD spectra found that the addition of AR induced the conformational changes of HSA. This study have provided new insight into the mechanism of interaction between AR and HSA.

All-inorganic cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr 3 ) perovskite solar cells have been attracting growing interest due to superior performance stability and low cost. However, low light absorbance and large charge recombination at TiO 2 /CsPbBr 3 interface or within CsPbBr 3 film still prevent further performance improvement. Herein, we report devices with high power conversion efficiency (9.16%) by introducing graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) between TiO 2 and perovskite layers. The recombination of interfacial radiation can be effectively restrained due to enhanced charge transfer capability. GOQDs with C-rich active sites can involve in crystallization and fill within the CsPbBr 3 perovskite film as functional semiconductor additives. This work provides a promising strategy to optimize the crystallization process and boost charge extraction at the surface/interface optoelectronic properties of perovskites for high efficient and low-cost solar cells.

Recently, highly porous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), with excellent porosity and abundant functional groups, have represented a new addition to the area of capturing uranium ion pollutants. To achieve high adsorption capacity and removal efficiency of uranium, it is significant to modify the morphology of MOF-based adsorbents. In this contribution, two hollow structured ZIF-8 adsorbents were used for the adsorptive separation of uranium from aqueous solution. Both of them showed faster adsorption rate and larger adsorption capacity than pristine ZIF-8, providing the prospect of hollow MOF materials to the application of uranium extraction.

Flexible piezoelectric nanogenerators for energy harvesting are getting more and more attention nowadays by converting the mechanical energy to electric energy. Here, an environment-friendly piezoelectric nanogenerator based on the regenerated cellulose (RC)/MoS 2 nanosheet nanocomposite successfully exhibited a relative high output voltage of 2 V and current of 150 nA under slight press which were 5 and 7.5 times higher than those of the neat RC film, i.e. 0.4 V and 20 nA, respectively. In particular, the MoS 2 nanosheets were obtained through a simple, facile and low-cost pathway by mechanical exfoliation in triethanolamine. The nanocomposite film with MoS 2 nanosheets content of 4% exhibited a high piezoelectric constant ( d 33 ) of 19 pC/N, which was 6.3 times higher than that of the neat RC film ( i.e. 3 pC/N). Thus, the RC/MoS 2 piezoelectric nanogenerator has great potential applications in the fields of energy harvester, sensors and is of great significance to environment protection.

Modified polyimides (MPIs) show great potential towards 5G communication applications, due to its excellent thermal stability, mechanical property and chemical stability as compared to most of polymers. Introducing fluoride groups or porous structure is favorable to ultra-low dielectric constant ( D k ) and dielectric loss ( D f ). However, the cost of the fluorinated MPIs is high and their synthetic processes are complicated, and porous MPIs suffer poor mechanical properties. Also, increasing the fraction of free volume is a very effective way to lower D k through introducing more ultra-low- D k air component. However, most of this kind of MPIs lag far behind the fluorinated MPIs and the porous MPIs in terms of ultra-low D f , hindering the application of MPIs in high-speed communication devices. Thus, it is highly desirable to develop intrinsic ultra-low- D k / D f MPIs at high frequency with less fluoric groups and nonporous structure. Herein, we introduce a facile and effective strategy to lower D k and D f through introducing rigid and large sterically hindered aromatic groups into MPIs. On the one hand, their large steric hindrance effect leads to low D k by increasing intrinsic free volume. On the other hand, the resulting highly stiff polymer chain and strong intermolecular interaction are favorable to reduce D f by inhibiting dipole orientations. Based on this strategy, the spirobifluorene groups are preferred. The as-prepared MPIs show excellent dielectric performance with low D k of 2.74–2.76 and low D f of 0.00599 at 10 GHz, to some extent, exceeding the multiple fluorinated MPI with D k / D f of 2.67/0.00663 at 10 GHz.

Abstract Water–oil interface of bacterial cell-stabilized Pickering emulsions is an exceptional habitat for microbial assimilation of both hydrophobic nutrients solubilized in oil phase and hydrophilic ones solubilized in water phase. Crystal substrate inhibition, i.e., decreasing phytosterol degradation with the increase loading of crystal phytosterols, is always observed during microbial transformation of phytosterols into steroid synthons in Mycolicibacterium sp (China Center of Industrial Culture Collection, CICC 21,097) cell-stabilized Pickering emulsions. In the present work, we confirmed that crystal substrate inhibition was attributed to the interaction between M. neoaurum and phytosterol crystals that led to the detachment of bacterial cells from the oil–water interfaces in bacterial cell-stabilized Pickering emulsions. Under the selected operation condition (25 ml BEHP per 40 ml water, 60 g/L glucose, 25 g/L phytosterols), the product androst-4-ene-3, 17-dione (AD) and androsta-1, 4-dien-3, 17-dione (ADD) concentration increased linearly with the progress of microbial transformation and reached almost 6 g/L at the 11 th day. This is a paradigm for microbial transformation of crystal substrates as well as in the presence of other surface active additives (such as chitosan and nonionic surfactants) in bacterial cell-stabilized Pickering emulsions. Key points • Microbial transformation of crystal phytosterols in Pickering emulsions • Crystal substrate inhibition occurring during microbial transformation • Interaction between phytosterol crystals and bacterial cells leading to demulsification

Soil environment on earth contains a variety of ions, which are expected to play a vital role in the biodegradation of plastics discarded in the environment. In this work, poly(butyleneadipate- co -terephthalate) (PBAT) is employed as a model biodegradable plastic to study the specific ion effects on the enzymatic degradation of polyester plastics. The results show that the specific ion effects on the enzymatic degradation rate of the PBAT films and on the catalytic rate constant for the enzymatic hydrolysis of the ester bonds are strongly dependent on temperature and ionic strength. Both the enzymatic degradation rate and catalytic rate constant decrease following the trends Na + > K + > Ca 2+ and Cl − > SO 4
2− > NO 3
− for cations and anions, respectively, indicating that the ion-specific enzymatic degradation of the PBAT films is closely correlated with the specific ion effects on enzymatic hydrolysis of the ester bonds. Our study shows that the specific ion effects on the enzyme activity can be understood by taking into account the ion-specific cation-anion interaction, ionic dispersion force, salting-out effect and salting-in effect. This study of specific ion effects on the enzymatic hydrolysis of the ester bonds and the resultant enzymatic degradation of the PBAT films would offer us a new clue to develop new biodegradable, environmentally friendly synthetic plastics.

Mycotoxins produced by different species of fungi may coexist in cereals and feedstuffs, and could be highly toxic for humans and animals. For quantification of multiple mycotoxins in cereals, we developed a paper-based mycotoxin immune-affinity array. First, paper-based microzone arrays were fabricated by photolithography. Then, monoclonal mycotoxin antibodies were added in a copolymerization reaction with a cross-linker to form an immune-affinity monolith on the paper-based microzone array. With use of a competitive immune-response format, paper-based mycotoxin immune-affinity arrays were successfully applied to detect mycotoxins in samples. The detection limits for deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, T-2 toxin, and HT-2 toxin were 62.7, 10.8, 0.36, and 0.23 μg·kg -1 , respectively, which meet relevant requirements for these compounds in food. The recovery rates were 81–86% for deoxynivalenol, 89–117% for zearalenone, 79–86% for T-2 toxin, and 78–83% for HT-2 toxin, and showed the paper-based immune-affinity arrays had good reproducibility. In summary, the paper-based mycotoxin immune-affinity array provides a sensitive, rapid, accurate, stable, and convenient platform for detection of multiple mycotoxins in agro-foods.

The structure and properties of functional nanoparticles are important for stabilizing Pickering emulsion polymerization. Recently, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are increasingly favored as a bio-based stabilizer for Pickering emulsions. In this study, we reported a novel functionalized polyphosphoester-grafted CNCs for the stabilization of oil-in-water Pickering emulsions and the emulsion polymerization of styrene. First, polyphosphoester containing an amino group at one end of the chain, abbreviated as PBYP-NH 2 , was prepared by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and hydrolysis reaction, wherein PBYP represents poly[2-(but-3-yn-1-yloxy)-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane]. Subsequently, CNC-COOH was obtained via 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) oxidation of CNCs. The functionalized nanocrystals CNC-PBYP-COOH with carboxyl groups and polyphosphoester on the surface were obtained by the amidation reaction of PBYP-NH 2 with CNC-COOH. Finally, we used CNC-PBYP-COOH as sole particle emulsifiers to stabilize styrene-in-water Pickering emulsions and studied its effects on the emulsions in details by using dynamic light scattering (DLS). The results indicated that the properties of these emulsions depended on the concentration of hydrophobically modified CNCs, volume ratios of oil to water, and pH values. The modified CNCs had higher ability to stabilize the styrene-in-water emulsions relative to the unmodified CNCs, and a stable oil-in-water (o/w) Pickering emulsion with diameter of hundreds of nanometers could be obtained. The resulting emulsions could be polymerized to yield nanosized latexes. The polyphosphoester-modified CNCs as green particle emulsifiers can efficiently stabilize nanoemulsions and latexes, which would promote the development of novel environmentally friendly materials.

Dual-stimulated wormlike micelles regulated by pH and temperature in a surface active ionic liquid system comprising of a cationic surfactant ( N -cetyl- N -methylpyrrolidinium bromide (C 16 MDB)) and an aromatic dibasic acid (pyrocatechol) were investigated. Such a system can be reversibly switched between liquid-like and gel-like states on adjusting the solution pH value. The rheology, light scattering techniques and cryogenic-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) results show the growth of spherical micelles into long and entangled wormlike micelles was responsible for the changes in flow properties such as high viscosity, shear-thinning behaviour and Maxwell-type dynamic rheology. The nuclear magnetic resonance results reveal the binding capacity of pyrocatechol to C 16 MDB is proposed as the key factor of the unusual rheological and micellar responses of this pH-stimulated system. In addition, with the increase of temperature, molecular motion of surfactant molecules becomes more active, which endow the property of thermo-stimulated to the surface active ionic liquid system.
