Melamine has a high nitrogen content thus is often illegally added to milk powder to phonily boost the protein percentage composition. Milk products containing melamine are harmful to babies and children. In the present work, a simple, label-free and turn-on fluorescence method to detect melamine with a high sensitivity and selectivity has been developed. The N -methylmesoporphyrin IX (NMM)/G-quadruplex structure is used as a signal reporter in this method to realize label-free detection of melamine. The detection limit of this method is 12.5 nM, which is much less than the maximum level permitted for infant formulas. The linear range is 0.05–1 μM ( R 2 = 0.98). The selectivity of this method is also very satisfactory. Furthermore, this method can be successfully applied for detection melamine in raw milk and milk powder.

Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH, EC 1.3.5.1) is one of the most promising targets for fungicide development and has attracted great attention worldwide. However, existing commercial fungicides targeting SDH have led to the increasingly prominent problem of pathogen resistance, so it is necessary to develop new fungicides. Herein, we used a structure-based molecular design strategy to design and synthesize a series of novel SDHI fungicides containing anN-(alkoxy)diphenyl ether carboxamide skeleton. The mycelial growth inhibition experiment showed that compoundM15exhibited a very good control effect against four plant pathogens, with inhibition rates of more than 60% at a dose of 50 μg/mL. A structure–activity relationship study found that N-O-benzyl-substituted derivatives showed better antifungal activity than others, especially the introduction of a halogen on the benzyl. Furthermore, the molecular docking results suggested that π–π interactions with Trp35 and hydrogen bonds with Tyr33 and Trp173 were crucial interaction sites when inhibitors bound to SDH. Morphological observation of mycelium revealed thatM15could inhibit the growth of mycelia. Moreover, in vivo and in vitro tests showed thatM15not only inhibited the enzyme activity of SDH but also effectively protected rice from damage due toR. solaniinfection, with a result close to that of the control at a concentration of 200 μg/mL. Thus, theN-(alkoxy)diphenyl ether carboxamide skeleton is a new starting point for the discovery of new SDH inhibitors and is worthy of further investigation.Keywords:succinate dehydrogenase (SDH);antifungal activity;fungicide;N-(alkoxy)diphenyl ether carboxamide

The increasing use of rare earth elements (REEs) in a wide range of high-tech applications, leading to global ever-increasing demands, has stimulated the development of new technologies for REEs separation and recovery. Herein, an efficient porous graphene oxide/poly ( N -isopropyl acrylamide-maleic acid) [GO/P(NIPAM-MA)] cryogel was synthesized by cryopolymerization and was employed as the REEs recovery adsorbent. The cryogel exhibits stable, microporous interpenetrating structure and thermosensitive characteristics. The adsorption follows the pseudo-second-kinetic model indicating that the adsorption process was controlled by the adsorption sites with the equilibrium adsorption capacity of La 3+ was 33.1 mg/g. The Langmuir isotherm model fits the data better, revealing the homogenous adsorption for REEs on the surface of the adsorbent. Besides, the adsorbent displayed preferential adsorption of La 3+ compared to Cu 2+ , Co 2+ , Ni 2+ , Nd 3+ , Yb 3+ in a binary solution suggested the high level of La 3+ separation efficiency that exceeded 95%. In general, the eco-friendly, sustainability and higher efficiency characteristics of GO/P(NIPAM-MA) cryogel provide a promising route for recycling rare earth elements from wastewater.

Chemoselective hydrogenation of quinolines is often subjected to the problems of leaching and poisoning of catalytic active site as well as harsh reaction conditions. Developing a novel and high-performance heterogeneous catalyst is of paramount importance yet a huge challenge. Herein, we report a facile and efficient strategy for preparing the large surface area and highly N-doped hierarchical porous carbon anchored tiny Pd NPs catalyst, in which the low-cost chitosan, nitrogen-rich ionic liquids are served as composite precursors and KZ molten salt as friendly pore-forming agent. And a series of Pd@CIL-T (C refers to chitosan, IL refers to ionic liquid, T = 600–900 °C) catalysts are successfully fabricated via pyrolyzing aforesaid composites at different temperatures followed by anchoring the highly dispersed and small-sized Pd NPs on their surface. Among all the prepared catalysts, Pd@CIL-900 exhibits the optimal catalytic performance towards the selective hydrogenation of quinoline under extremely mild conditions (0.6 mol% Pd, 0.1 MPa H 2 and 50 °C). The kinetic experiments further reveal that such hydrogenation is subject to a pseudo-first order reaction and the apparent activation energy is as low as 41.1 kJ/mol, demonstrating excellent hydrogenation reaction rate. Moreover, the catalytic activity and selectivity are well maintained even after being reused for fifth reaction cycles.

ABSTRACT Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are one of the most potential candidates for large-scale energy storage due to the low cost and eco-friendliness, however, a stable and reversible anode is urgently developed. In this work, a novel 2 × 2 tunnel-structured K 1.28 Ti 8 O 16 @N-doped carbon nanofibers (KTO@N CNFs) anode is successfully synthesized via simple electrospinning and subsequent thermal treatment with urea acted as the additional convenient nitrogen source. In-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement confirms the intercalation reaction mechanism and robust structure during Na + insertion/extraction. This composite material exhibits a reversible capacity of 116.4 mAh g − 1 at a current density of 100 mA g − 1 after 1000 cycles. More impressively, even at a high current density of 1 A g − 1 , the battery delivers capacity retention of 98.4 mAh g − 1 after 5000 cycles. The excellent electrochemical performance is attributed to the adequate 2 × 2 tunnel structure and the nano-confinement of N-doped nanofibers on K 1.28 Ti 8 O 16 nanocrystals, which offers enough diffusion paths and enhance the ionic diffusion of sodium ions. This work provides a facile strategy to synthesis stable, reversible, and long-cycle anode for sodium-ion batteries.

Herein, for realizing the high efficiency and long lifetime of hydroxide exchange membranes (HEMs) for alkaline membrane fuel cell (AMFC) applications, a series of robust poly(biphenyl piperidinium) (PBP)/6-azaspiro[5.5] undecane (ASU)-functionalized polyphenyl ether (ASU-PPO) membranes were prepared by a crosslinked strategy. Crosslinked PBP-ASU-PPO membrane combines the advantage of PBP and ASU-PPO membranes as well as addresses the problem of high water uptake of PBP and the insufficient film-forming property of ASU-PPO. As expected, these crosslinked PBP-ASU-PPO membranes exhibit commendably comprehensive performances, such as good ion conductivity, durability, and mechanical properties . The crosslinked PBP-ASU-PPO membrane reaches a maximum OH − conductivity of 128 mS/cm at 80 °C, accompanying with a 15.7% membrane swelling. Besides, only 13.6% degradation in Cl − conductivity was observed in PBP-ASU-PPO after alkaline treatment in 1 M NaOH at 80 °C for 2000 h. Besides, the selected PBP-ASU-PPO membrane achieves a maximum power density of 324 mW/cm 2 at current density of 750 mA/cm 2 .

In this work, temperature-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) was covalently grafted onto the edge of graphene oxide (GO) sheets through a facial method cross-linked by 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC·HCl) and N-hydroxysuccinimide in aqueous solution at room temperature. Then, the dispersion was wet spun to form a GO composite fiber . Scanning electron microscopy images suggest that severe edge distortions occur in PNIPAm-g-rGO hybrid fibers, indicating the covalent attaching of PNIPAm molecules onto the edge of graphene sheets . The PNIPAm-g-rGO fibers showed more favorable and improved electrical property than the pristine rGO fibers. Moreover, the coil-to-globule transition of the end-grafted PNIPAm chains was partially restricted by graphene sheets in the composite fiber, thereby causing the elevation of the phase transition temperature. Switching test of temperature-responsive versus electrical conductivity function has proved that the observed temperature-induced electrical conversion of the fibers was highly reversible and reproducible. Simultaneously, the composite fiber exhibited higher piezoresistive sensitivity compared with neat fiber. This smart fiber has shown remarkable potential for intelligent strain sensors, textiles, actuators, wires and on/off switches.

Simultaneous extraction of basic and non-basic N-compounds from oil is still a big challenge. Triethylene glycol (TEG) encounters very weak Brønsted acidity. Its N-distribution coefficient [DN, (mmol·gEx–1)/(mmol·gOil–1)] for the basic was below 7.0. In this work, metals dissolved in TEG can improve the Lewis acidity of the extractant and bring about the simultaneous removal. For example, DN of TEG–Ag(I) can increase to 40.5 for quinoline and 57.9 for pyridine, respectively. For the non-basic, it still remained higher than 70.0. The promoted performance was ascribed to the improvement of extractive behavior of the basic. From TEG to TEG–Ag(I), first, the distribution of equilibrium N-concentrations between two phases was significantly changed from the straight line to the non-linear curve with the plateau. Second, the interaction type inside the system was optimized. The Ag(I)-based complexation coupled with the TEG-based H-bonding was identified. Third, the interaction intensity was increased as well. Ag(I) contributed much to reduction of Gibbs free energy change for the basic. Therefore, enhancing Lewis acidity of the extractant was a feasible way for the extraction of the N-compounds.

In this work, we successfully assembled an organic–inorganic core–shell hybrid p-n heterojunction ultraviolet photodetector by the electropolymerization deposition of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxyselenophene) (PEDOS) on the surface of zinc oxide nanoarrays (ZnO NRs). The structures of composite were confirmed by FTIR, UV–Vis, XRD and XPS. Mott–Schottky analysis was used to study the p-n heterojunction structure. The photodetection properties of ZnO NRs/PEDOS heterojunction ultraviolet photodetector were systematically investigated current–voltage (I–V) and current–time (I–t) analysis under different bias voltages. The results showed that PEDOS films uniformly grew on ZnO NRs surface and core–shell structure was formed. The p-n heterojunction structure was formed with strong built-in electric field between ZnO NRs and PEDOS. Under the irradiation of UV light, the device showed a good rectification behavior. The responsivity, detection rate and the external quantum efficiency of the ultraviolet photodetector reached to 247.7 A/W, 3.41 × 10 12 Jones and 84,000% at 2 V bias, respectively. The rise time ( τ r ) and fall time ( τ f ) of ZnO NRs/PEDOS UV photodetector were obviously shortened compared to ZnO UV photodetector. The results show that the introduction of PEDOS effectively improves the performance of the UV photodetector.

Heterojunction integrated by two-dimensional/three-dimensional materials has shown great potential applications in optoelectronic devices because of its fast response speed, high specific detectivity and broad spectral response. In this work, the vertical n-Si/p-GaTe heterojunction has been designed and fabricated, which shows a high responsivity up to 5.73 A W−1 and a fast response time of 20 μs at zero bias benifitting from the high efficiency of light absorption, internal photocurrent gain and strong built-in electrical field. A specific detectivity of 1012 Jones and a broad spectral response ranging from 300 to 1100 nm can also be achieved. This work provides an alternative strategy for high-performance self-powered optoelectronic devices.

β -N-Acetylglucosaminidases and/or β - N -acetylhexosaminidases (NAGs / Hexes) are crucial exonucleases, playing a crucial role in the insect molting process. SfHex3 and SfHex4 contain conserved catalytic domains of GH20 and GH20b, clustered into NAG2 and NAG1 group, respectively. SfHex3 and SfHex4 were mainly highly expressed in the 4th–5th instar nymphs, as well as in the integument and ovary. The expression level of SfHex3 gradually decreased in male and female adults, and SfHex4 on the first day of female was significantly higher than that on the first day of male. In addition, RNA interference (RNAi) results demonstrated that the downregulation of SfHex3 and SfHex4 expression in 5th-instar nymphs resulted in failed molting, and a high mortality. Furthermore, after RNAi with SfHex3 and SfHex4 , the transcript levels on key genes of the chitin metabolism pathway ( SfCHS1 , SfCHS1a , SfCHS1b , SfTRE1 , SfTRE2 , SfCht5 , and SfCht7 ) were significantly decreased compared to the control group. Meanwhile the expression levels of SfHex3 and SfHex4 were up-regulated after 6 h and 12 h of 20E treatment. And the transcription levels of SfHex3 and SfHex4 were significantly inhibited at nitenpyram LC 20 , LC 50 , and LC 90 after 96 h of treatment, in 3rd nymphs of Sogatella furcifera . In conclusion, SfHex3 and SfHex4 play important roles in the nymphal development of S. furcifera , contributing to the molting process from nymph to adult. This study not only enhances our understanding of the nitenpyram in pest control, but also provides a foundation for the development of new control strategies using RNAi to targeting SfHex3 and SfHex4 .

In this study, temperature-dependent FTIR spectroscopy in combination with the perturbation–correlation moving-window (PCMW2D) technique and generalized two-dimensional (2D) correlation analysis was applied to investigate the phase transition mechanism of poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PVCL) hydrogel upon heating. In the conventional 1D FTIR spectra, the gradual dehydration of C–H groups, as well as the gradual dissociation of hydrogen bonds between CO groups and water molecules, was observed during phase transition. Moreover, we found that the rate at which water molecules were expelled out of the gel network during phase transition was changed to a sigmoid mode, rather than increasing linearly with increasing temperature. PCMW2D FTIR spectra revealed that the phase transition of PVCL hydrogel can be divided into two steps (named as I and II) upon heating, and we further determined the temperature regions of steps I and II to be 29.0–35.7 °C and 35.7–47.5 °C, respectively. Step I is the formation of hydrophobic domains in the gel, and step II is the chain collapse of the gel. Finally, with the help of generalized 2D correlation analysis, it was confirmed that the transformation of hydrogen bonds was the driving force of the hydrophobic domain formation process, while the hydrophobic interaction of C–H groups was the driving force for the chain collapse process. Combined with the obtained sequential orders of step I and step II, an integrated two-step phase transition mechanism of PVCL hydrogel upon heating was proposed.
