In recent years, hydrogels with antifouling properties and good biocompatibility have attracted great attention in bio-devices, but most of them are lack of eminent mechanical properties that limit their practical application greatly. In this work, a newly hybrid ion-covalent cross-linked double network (DN) hydrogels with excellent antifouling as well as mechanical properties were prepared by a simple one-pot method based on sodium alginate and a kind of antifouling material, N -hydroxyethyl acrylamide (HEAA). The DN hydrogel have excellent mechanical properties, including high tensile strength (1.32 MPa), high elastic modulus (0.31 MPa) and preeminent fatigue resistance. Besides, the DN hydrogel have good antifouling properties suggested by protein adsorption and cell adhesion experiments. In addition, they also exhibit highly in vitro compatibility. These properties make the DN hydrogels suitable for application in different fields, such as tissue scaffolds, implantable devices and so on.

Non-Pt catalysts with excellent performance regarding the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) have aroused enormous interest in recent years. Herein, we propose a dual-template method to synthesize a multiscale porous Fe–N–C (FeNC) catalyst. SiO2 and Zn are used as co-templates to produce a multiscale porous structure. Chitosan and glutaraldehyde are used as building blocks to fabricate the frameworks of the hydrogel. After lyophilization and annealing treatments, FeNC aerogel with a multiscale porous structure could be obtained. The as-prepared FeNC catalyst annealed at 900 °C (FeNC-900) exhibits a larger electrochemically active surface area and an improved ORR activity compared to FeNC annealed at other temperatures. FeNC-900 shows a superior ORR performance in comparison with that of commercial Pt/C in terms of the onset potential and half-wave potential, i.e., 0.959 and 0.837 V, which are 28 mV and 10 mV higher than those of Pt/C, respectively. Multiscale porosity is responsible for the outstanding ORR performance of FeNC-900. The electron transfer number of FeNC-900 for the ORR was calculated to be 3.95, which is comparable with that of Pt/C. In addition, the FeNC-900 catalyst possesses an excellent long-term duration and anti-poisoning capacity against methanol crossover. All these results endow the FeNC catalyst with tremendous potential for use in fuel cells.

In this study, Fe/N/Cs oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts with high specific surface area, catalytic activity were synthesized using legume biomass with different protein content. The catalytic activity of the Fe/N/C catalysts was confirmed to be related to the protein content of the biomass precursor by characterization and electrochemical tests. The catalysts (named as Fe/N/C-T) from lactone tofu have the highest N/C ratio related to ORR, and the air-cathode loaded with Fe/N/C-T catalysts exhibited the best ORR performance in linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) tests, which was comparable to that of commercial Pt/C catalysts. MFCs with AC(Fe/N/C-T) air-cathode produced a maximum power density of 0.486 mW cm −2 , higher than Pt/C (0.437 mW cm −2 ) with the same loading. In addition, the Fe/N/C-T catalyst demonstrated high stability and resistance to toxicity in long-term operation, which can be an alternative to commercial Pt/C.

Novel visible-light-induced UiO-66/BiOI photocatalysts with a p–n junction structure have been prepared for the first time through a facile hydrothermal method. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized using the powder X-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectra, and N 2 adsorption–desorption (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller) techniques respectively. The photodegradation performances of UiO-66/BiOI photocatalysts were evaluated by photodegrading salicylic acid under visible-light irradiation. The UiO-66/BiOI composites displayed much higher photocatalytic efficiencies than pure BiOI under visible light. When the content of UiO-66 was 5.2 wt%, the composite (UiO-66/BiOI-2) has the best photocatalytic activity. Most of the salicylic acid molecules can be degraded in 100 min. The degradation rate of UiO-66/BiOI-2 samples is higher than single BiOI and UiO-66. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of UiO-66/BiOI may be ascribed to the formation of p–n heterojunctions between BiOI and UiO-66, which facilitates the transfer and separation of the photogenerated charge carriers. After recycling of the photocatalyst for five times for the photodegradation of salicylic acid, more than 85% of salicylic acid could still be degraded in the fifth cycle, implying that the as-prepared photocatalysts are highly stable.

We study the non-covalent interactions within complexes and characterize the structure and properties of N-heterocyclic dicarboxylic acid rare earth complexes. The chelating ligand 2,2′-bipyridine-6,6′-dicarboxylic acid (H2bpdc) was reacted with neodymium nitrate hexahydrate and dysprosium nitrate pentahydrate in a solvothermal reaction to produce {[Nd(bpdc)(HCOO)(H2O)2]·H2O}n (A) and [Dy2(bpdc)3(H2O)2(DMF)]·3H2O (B), respectively. Single crystal X-ray diffraction characterization reveals that A is a metal organic framework, with the rare earth center adopting a nine-coordinated tricapped trigonal prism. In contrast, B forms an eight-coordinate triangular dodecahedron. Fluorescence analyses indicate that both A and B have excellent luminescence properties. The thermal stabilities of both complexes were examined using thermogravimetric analysis (TG and DTG), and A has better thermal stability than B.

Hydrogels present attractive opportunities as flexible sensors due to their soft nature and tunable physicochemical properties. Despite significant advances, practical application of hydrogel-based sensor is limited by the lack of general routes to fabricate materials with combination of mechanical, conductive, and biological properties. Here, a multi-functional hydrogel sensor is reported by in situ polymerizing of acrylamide (AM) with N,N′-bis(acryloyl)cystamine (BA) dynamic crosslinked silver-modified polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles, namely PAM/BA-Ag@PDA. Compared with traditional polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogel, the BA-Ag@PDA nanoparticles provide both high-functionality crosslinks and multiple interactions within PAM networks, thereby endowing the optimized PAM/BA-Ag@PDA hydrogel with significantly enhanced tensile/compressive strength (349.80 kPa at 383.57% tensile strain, 263.08 kPa at 90% compressive strain), lower hysteresis (5.2%), improved conductivity (2.51 S m −1 ) and excellent near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered self-healing ability. As a strain sensor, the PAM/BA-Ag@PDA hydrogel shows a good sensitivity (gauge factor of 1.86), rapid response time (138 ms), and high stability. Owing to abundant reactive groups in PDA, the PAM/BA-Ag@PDA hydrogel exhibits inherent tissue adhesiveness and antioxidant, along with a synergistic antibacterial effect by PDA and Ag. Toward practical applications, the PAM/BA-Ag@PDA hydrogel can conformally adhere to skin and monitor subtle activities and large-scale movements with excellent reliability, demonstrating its promising applications as wearable sensors for healthcare.

Here, we report controlled and site-selective C–H alkenylation and dialkenylation of indolizines and pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinolines with β-alkoxyvinyl trifluoromethylketones under simple and practical conditions. Moreover, this direct C–H alkenylation strategy can also be extended to imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines. Notably, without a transition metal and external oxidant, efficient dehydrogenative β-alkenylation of tertiary amines with β-alkoxyvinyl trifluoromethylketones is presented.

In this study, the one-pot heterocyclization of nitro compounds with 2,5-hexadione was studied for the synthesis of N-substituted pyrroles via a Paal–Knorr condensation process. The heterogeneous cobalt–nitrogen catalyst (Co–Nx/C-800-AT) was found to be active for this reaction with formic acid. Formic acid served as a hydrogen donor for the transfer hydrogenation, and also acted as an acid catalyst. More importantly, this method was tolerant of other functional groups, and hence various N-substituted pyrroles were produced with good to excellent yields. The Co–Nx/C-800-AT catalyst was highly stable, and could be reused several times without loss of its catalytic activity.

The p-i-n junction structure has garnered great interest from researchers due to its increased photoactive area and wider space charger region compared with that of the p-n junction. Herein the ultrawide bandgap (∼6.7 eV) semiconductor alumina (Al2O3) has been introduced to construct a p-i-n junction with ZnO and NiO. ZnO–Al2O3–NiO powders are suitable for electrolyte membrane material of low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LT-SOFCs). The insulating Al2O3 brings a doubled depletion region and more effective charge separation compared with the p-n junction consisting of ZnO and NiO. The fuel cell based on the p-i-n junction membrane material delivers an enhanced maximum power density (MPD) of 917 mW cm–2 along with a high open-circuit voltage (OCV) of 1.013 V at 550 °C. An analysis based on the space charge region and energy band alignment in the p-i-n junction is proposed to account for the appreciable cell performance and ionic conductivity, as well as the electron blocking and charge separation ability. This study presents a practical p-i-n junction design based on ZnO–Al2O3–NiO via a solution process for LT-SOFC electrolyte material and sheds light on the extensive exploration of p-i-n junctions applied in LT-SOFCs.

Contamination of food with heavy metal ions and nitrites poses a serious threat to human health. Consequently, the development of fast and sensitive platforms for detecting these contaminants is urgently required. In this paper, a novel MnMgFe-LDHs/DC sensor is constructed based on a simple strategy, in which MnMgFe layered double hydroxide (LDHs) is used as a metal precursor, and a unique "island bridge" carbon network structure is generated by its pyrolysis with ZIF-8@B, N-WMCNTs. The electrical conductivity was enhanced, and a large electroactive surface area was provided for the MnMgFe-LDHs/DC. The electrochemical properties of Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ and nitrite were investigated using this electrode as a working electrode. Under optimized conditions, the sensing platform exhibited a wide linear range with the Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ , and NO 2 − limits of detection of 46.16 nM, 59.25 nM, and 0.083 μM, respectively. Of particular note is that this sensing platform exhibits outstanding anti-interference capabilities. It can precisely and efficiently conduct the detection of nitrite and heavy metal ions in pickled foods.

N-ZIF-(1:0)@NiCo-LDH, N-ZIF-(1:3.5)@NiCo-LDH and N-ZIF-(0:1)@NiCo-LDH were prepared by mixing solvents in various volume ratios ( V methanol : V water = 1:0, 1:3.5 and 0:1) when synthesizing precursors. These composite materials were characterized using scanning and transmission electron microscopies, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and nitrogen adsorption–desorption measurements, and investigated as catalysts for reduction of 4-nitrophenol, methyl orange and methylene blue. The NaBH 4 concentration as an important factor that may affect catalytic activity for reduction of 4-nitrophenol was examined. Under optimal experimental conditions, the excellent catalytic activity of the N-ZIF-(0:1)@NiCo-LDH composite, compared to that of N-ZIF-(1:0)@NiCo-LDH and N-ZIF-(1:3.5)@NiCo-LDH composites, could be attributed to the presence of graphitic nitrogen. In addition, compared with previously reported catalysts, all catalysts prepared show excellent catalytic activity owing to the unique structure exposing more active sites.

Thermal boron diffusion, which forms highly doped and shallow p-emitters on phosphor-doped silicon wafers, is one of the primary processes in commercial-scale production of n-type cells. Here, we report on the use of nontoxic and nonvolatile borosiloxane sols as the spin-on boron source. In comparison to the tribromide (BBr 3 ) boron diffusion that is applied in the production of most commercial n-type cells, borosiloxane boron diffusion may have potential advantages in terms of cost, safety, operability, etc. The borosiloxane sols studied here were formed from a cross-linking reaction between boron acid and a mixture of two types of silicon alkoxides, methyltriethoxysilane (MTEOS) and dimethyldiethoxysilane (DMDEOS). The MTEOS/DMDEOS ratio was found to be the key factor determining the synthetic period, net structure, thermal transformation property, and coating behavior of the borosiloxane sols. In combination with the spin-coating method, the performance of borosiloxane boron diffusion into phosphor-doped silicon wafers (1–3 Ω·cm) was systematically investigated by varying the borosiloxane composition (boron/silicon or MTEOS/DMDEOS ratio) and the diffusion process parameters (temperature, ambience, and period of individual sub-steps), and by relating them to the resulting sheet resistance and boron doping profile. The results show that under the diffusion conditions in conventional cell production lines, the formed p-emitters can have variable sheet resistance in the range of 35–582 Ω/□ and boron doping depth of 100–300 nm.
