Novel nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon dots (N,S-CDs) were synthesized via a hydrothermal procedure using citric acid (CA) and thiourea (TU) as precursors, and the corresponding corrosion protection performance was first investigated for Q235 carbon steel in 1 M HCl solution. Experimental results indicated that N,S-CDs as mixed-type corrosion inhibitors could effectively prevent Q235 carbon steel from corrosion in 1 M HCl solution, and the corrosion inhibition efficiency was improved with the increase in N,S-CD concentration. The maximum value was achieved at 400 ppm of N,S-CDs at 25 °C, which was approximately 96.6%, 94.6% and 90.55%, according to the potentiodynamic polarization curves, EIS results and weight loss measurement, respectively. Additionally, with the temperature ranging from 25 to 55 °C, the inhibition efficiency obtained from the weight loss measurement was enhanced from 90.55% to 94.04%. Such superior inhibition effect was assigned to the physisorption and chemisorption of N,S-CDs on the Q235 carbon steel surface, which was also be confirmed by XPS analysis. The adsorption of N,S-CDs onto a steel substrate conformed to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

A series of highly active and ortho -position selective catalysts based on (α-Fe 2 O 3 ) 1- x (V 2 O 5 ) x catalysts were proposed for the C -methylation of phenol with methanol. The (α-Fe 2 O 3 ) 1- x (V 2 O 5 ) x catalysts were synthesized by coprecipitation method of Fe and V elements and microwave drying. The chemical composition, material structure, acid-base properties, and structure-activity relationship of (α-Fe 2 O 3 ) 1- x (V 2 O 5 ) x catalysts were systematically analyzed by the techniques of XRD, XPS, TEM, N 2 adsorption-desorption, Raman, UV-Vis, ESR, NH 3 /CO 2 -TPD and Pyridine-IR. The (α-Fe 2 O 3 ) 1- x (V 2 O 5 ) x catalysts have the double advantages of high activity and high stability for the methylation of phenol due to the high BET surface area, large total pore volume, dispersive active sites and enhanced acid-base property. o -cresol and 2,6-xylenol were the main products, and nearly 100% selectivity to the ortho -position of phenol and 90% selectivity to o -cresol were obtained. Furthermore, the (α-Fe 2 O 3 ) 1- x (V 2 O 5 ) x catalysts possess long lifetime over 2500 h and high activity at a weight hourly space velocity of 1.6 h −1 compared with the microwave-dried α-Fe 2 O 3 catalyst. The doping of vanadium improves the activity and stability of α-Fe 2 O 3 catalyst, which attributes to the modification of catalyst structure, especially the improvement of acid-base centers and oxygen vacancy. Recently the (α-Fe 2 O 3 ) 1- x (V 2 O 5 ) x catalysts have been stably and efficiently applied in industry for the methylation of phenol.

Enhancing the catalytic activity and stability of enzymes is of great importance in the development of green chemical and cost-effective application, with removal of bisphenol A (BPA) as a prominent example. Engineering immobilization carriers and immobilization methods of enzymes endows great potential to achieve above goal. Until now, these reports have focused on employing the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to increase the stability and reusability of enzymes, an enhancement in its catalytic activity has yet to be addressed. This work introduced a biomimetic mineralization process for facile synthesis of laccase@HKUST-1 biocomposite under mild condition. By exploiting the activity of laccase@HKUST-1, we demonstrated, for the first time, that the integration of laccase and HKUST-1 containing cofactor Cu 2+ ions leaded to 1.5-fold enhancement in the catalytic activity compared with free laccase, which was due to the synergistic enhancement of substrate oxidation. Indeed, the laccase@HKUST-1 biocomposite could function as active biocatalysts under biologically challenging conditions, such as acidic condition, high temperature, organic solvent, and continuous operation. The oxidation of phenols, such as BPA, with laccase@HKUST-1 reached higher catalytic performance than free laccase, and gave 100% degradation efficiency within 4 h. This study provides a feasible method to improve the activity and stability of laccase, which enable completely remove of BPA from the environment.

Background Neuroinflammation and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption are two vital mechanisms of secondary brain injury following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Recently, melanocortin-1 receptor (Mc1r) activation by Nle4-D-Phe7-α-MSH (NDP-MSH) was shown to play a neuroprotective role in an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mouse model. This study aimed to investigate whether NDP-MSH could alleviate neuroinflammation and BBB disruption after experimental ICH, as well as the potential mechanisms of its neuroprotective roles.Methods Two hundred and eighteen male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to autologous blood-injection ICH model. NDP-MSH, an agonist of Mc1r, was administered intraperitoneally injected at 1 h after ICH insult. To further explore the related protective mechanisms, Mc1r small interfering RNA (Mc1r siRNA) and nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1 (Nr4a1) siRNA were administered via intracerebroventricular (i.c.v) injection before ICH induction. Neurological test, BBB permeability, brain water content, immunofluorescence staining, and Western blot analysis were implemented.Results The Expression of Mc1r was significantly increased after ICH. Mc1r was mainly expressed in microglia, astrocytes, and endothelial cells following ICH. Treatment with NDP-MSH remarkably improved neurological function and reduced BBB disruption, brain water content, and the number of microglia in the peri-hematoma tissue after ICH. Meanwhile, the administration of NDP-MSH significantly reduced the expression of p-NF-κB p65, IL-1β, TNF-α, and MMP-9 and increased the expression of p-CREB, Nr4a1, ZO-1, occludin, and Lama5. Inversely, the knockdown of Mc1r or Nr4a1 abolished the neuroprotective effects of NDP-MSH.Conclusion sTaken together, NDP-MSH binding Mc1r attenuated neuroinflammation and BBB disruption and improved neurological deficits, at least in part through CREB/Nr4a1/NF-κB pathway after ICH.

We have prepared and studied a novel low cost catalyst of g-C 3 N 4 /Fe 0 (1%)/TiO 2, using a simple process involving the formation of zero valence iron by chemical reduction . This ternary catalyst g-C 3 N 4 /Fe 0 (1%)/TiO 2 was characterized using XRD (X-Ray diffraction), UV–vis spectrum, EDS (Energy Dispersive spectrum) and TEM (transmission electron microscopy), it demonstrated high-visible-light activity in a wide range of pH condition, it can photo-catalytically degraded Rhodamine B (RhB), Tetracycline (TC), and Berberine hydrogen chloride (BH) (∼98% in 90 min) under visible light. The high activity arises from the increased harvest of more visible light and the improved separation of photo-excited electrons and holes via Z-scheme and heterojunctions mechanism. Also, the time required to remove 100% RhB, TC, and 96% BH can be shortened from 90 min to 60 min by introducing 3.18 mM Na 2 SO 3 to this photocatalysis system that assisted the generation of reactive oxidizing species and pollutant degradation. The results showed promising application prospect for this developed catalyst and the tested photocatalysis pollutant degradation system.

This work reports the preparation of a hydroxyl terminated polystyrene-b-polybutadiene-b-polystyrene triblock copolymer (SBS) with high cis-1, 4 content via a novel nickel catalyst, [η3-Ni(CH2CHCHCH2OOCH3)][BPhF4]. FT-IR,1H-NMR, and13C NMR indicated that the polybutadiene segment of the copolymer contains greater than 90% cis-1, 4 structure, indicating achievement of the objective. Toward the functionalization goal, a hydroxyl group was successfully introduced at the end of the triblock copolymer (HO–SBS–OH). The results of gel permeation chromatography (GPC) revealed that the polymer is indeed a triblock copolymer, with no traces of homopolymer. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed that HO–SBS–OH synthesized using the novel catalyst had a lower glass transition temperature (Tg) than HO–SBS–OH synthesized with an alkyl lithium catalyst. Therefore, the polymer synthesized via the novel catalyst contains high cis-1,4 content and displays excellent low-temperature mechanical properties.Keywords:hydroxyl terminated polystyrene-b-polybutadiene-b-polystyrene triblock copolymer;high cis-1,4 content;nickel catalyst

Graphical Progress towards the positive : A facile strategy through manipulating KMnO 4 concentration is introduced to precisely fabricate 1 D LiMn 2 O 4 nanorods with four distinct diameter gradients. The LiMn 2 O 4 nanorod with a critical diameter of approximately 70–80 nm displays the highest discharge capacity and promising cycling performance. The role of 1 D crystal size in effecting interface chemical species and electrochemical performance is elucidated by comparative characterization methods. The morphology and size of nanoelectrode materials determine their properties. Compared to the bulk structure electrodes, 1 D electrode materials for Li-ion batteries have been intensively studied owing to their excellent Li + diffusion kinetics. It is generally accepted that smaller-sized electrode materials lead to better Li storage kinetics. In this study, this is found to not be the case in 1 D LiMn 2 O 4 positive materials. A facile strategy of manipulating the KMnO 4 concentration is introduced to precisely fabricate 1 D LiMn 2 O 4 nanorods with four distinct diameter gradients from 30 to 170 nm. The role of 1 D crystal size in effecting interface chemical species and electrochemical performance is elucidated by comparative characterization methods. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) Ar-ion etching technology shows that the Mn 2+ is electrochemically inactive on the surface of the sample, which explains the adverse effects observed on LiMn 2 O 4 nanorods with the minimum diameter of 30–40 nm, such as decreased discharge capacity. The LiMn 2 O 4 nanorod with a critical diameter of approximately 70–80 nm displays the highest discharge capacity and promising cycling performance. This work clarifies an important property that has previously been neglected and deepens the understanding for design of Mn-based positive materials.

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential metal that is a contaminant in aquatic ecosystems . Cd can accumulate in aquatic animals, leading to detrimental effects in tissues, and Cd exposure can induce immunotoxicity in fish. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in immune responses, yet the participation of miRNAs in Cd-induced immunotoxicity remains poorly understood. The present study evaluated the effects of Cd exposure on the immune responses and the mRNAs and miRNAs expressions of immune-related genes in Cyprinus carpio ( C. carpio ). Then, microRNA-155 (miR-155) was overexpressed and microRNA-181a (miR-181a) was knocked down to determine which miRNA plays a key role in the immune response to Cd. The results showed that 0.5 mg/L Cd 2+ significantly decreased the activity of alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and acid phosphatase (ACP) in the kidneys of C. carpio . Cd exposure upregulated the mRNA expressions of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-8, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and Toll-like receptor 4(TLR-4) and downregulated those of IL-10 and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in C. carpio kidneys. Cd exposure also led to upregulation of miR-155 and miR-181a expressions. Furthermore, AKP and ACP activity in the kidneys was markedly changed after intraperitoneal injection of C. carpio with miR-155 agomir and miR-181a antagomir . All detected mRNA expressions were significantly decreased after injection of miR-155 agomir, and IL-10, NF-κB, TNF-α, and HO-1 mRNA expressions were markedly increased after injection of miR-181a antagomir. The results of this study demonstrate that Cd exposure can immunocompromise C. carpio by targeting HO-1 through miR-155 and miR-181a. This is the first study to reveal that Cd exposure induces immunotoxicity through miR-155 and miR-181a in the kidneys of C. carpio .

The absorption amount ( m ) and loading ( α ) of CO 2 in 2-(ethylamino)ethanol (EAE) activated 3-(dimethylamino)propan-1-ol (3DMA1P) aqueous solution were measured. The temperatures ranged from 303.2 K to 323.2 K. The mass fractions of 3DMA1P and EAE respectively ranged from 0.3 to 0.5 and 0.01 to 0.03. The effects of temperature ( T ) and mass fractions of amines ( w ) on the absorption performance were illustrated. It’s impressive that the addition of very small amounts of EAE into 3DMA1P aqueous solution significantly enhanced the absorption performance. Moreover, comparison showed that 3DMA1P-EAE aqueous solution appeared much higher CO 2 absorption capacity than the widely used MDEA-MEA aqueous solution. Tray towers with different plates ( N p = 6, 8 and 10) were used to verify the removal efficiency of CO 2 ( η CO 2 ) and the effects of gas flow rate ( G ), absorbent flow rate ( L ), w , absorbent feed temperature ( T ) and N p on η CO 2 were illustrated. Our results showed that when composed of 30% to 50% (mass percent) 3DMA1P and 3% EAE, the absorbents achieved η CO 2 higher than 90%, which met the efficiency requirement specified in a power plant, thus leading to a promising industrial application in the CO 2 capture process.

In this study, a coating of ionic Zr integrated in 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) metalorganic-like complexes was applied on Mg for corrosion control. HEDP was first immobilized on alkaline pretreated Mg followed by an alternating dip-coating process of Zr ions and HEDP to build a complex coating on Mg. This coating was demonstrated to be homogeneous, compact and with a metalorganic-like framework firmly anchored on Mg. This coating led to reduced corrosion current densities and remarkably suppressed long-term in vitro degradation of Mg in phosphate buffer saline (PBS). This complex coating showed promise for surface modification of Mg in biodegradable applications.

A novel and simple method to improve the corrosion resistance of copper by constructing a three-dimensional (3D) 1-dodecanethiol self-assembled monolayer (SAM) in 3.5% NaCl solution is reported in this study. Several drops of 1% H3PO4solution are thinly and uniformly distributed on copper surface to form a 3D nanostructure constituted by Cu3(PO4)2nanoflowers. The anticorrosion properties of 1-dodecanethiol SAM on copper surface and on copper surface that is treated with H3PO4solution were evaluated. Results demonstrated that 1-dodecanethiol SAM on bare copper surface exhibits good protection capacity, whereas a copper surface that is pretreated with H3PO4solution can substantially enhance the corrosion resistance of 1-dodecanethiol SAM.Keywords:copper;phosphoric acid;3D nanostructures;1-dodecanethiol SAM

Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is a common environmental pollutant. Exposure of Cr(VI) can lead to cell autophagy, but the preventive measures for diminishing Cr(VI)-induced autophagy need further study. COX-2 can be induced by several heavy metals and can lead to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and autophagy; thus, COX-2, ER stress, and autophagy may be related. This study mainly investigated the role of COX-2 in the eIF2α-ATF4 pathway, which is a major pathway in cell autophagy. In this study, Cr(VI) was used as a xenobiotic to determine changes in the parameters of ER stress, autophagy, and COX-2 levels. At the same time, a clear contrast was obtained by assigning positive and negative controls of ER stress and autophagy. The results showed that during Cr(VI) invasion, the parameters of ER stress and autophagy (such as BiP, PERK, p62, LC3-II, and mTOR) were enhanced, similarly to the positive control of ER stress and/or the autophagy controls. Such enhancement is a protective mechanism for cell survival. Additionally, the COX-2 levels increased. Moreover, when COX-2 was inhibited, the PERK level remained high, whereas the LC3-II level decreased. This finding suggests that COX-2 specifically affects the interaction between ER stress and autophagy. Notably, this study reveals that Cr(VI) can induce ER stress and autophagy in DF-1 cells and that COX-2 plays an essential role in the interaction between ER stress and autophagy.
