This work develops a novel photoelectrochemical sensor for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) based on the composite of UCNPs with semiconductors and conformational changes in the DNA structure . Firstly, SnS 2 , ZnIn 2 S 4 and UCNPs were assembled on the surface of the ITO electrode. Then Au NPs were dropped, which could facilitate the coupling of CdSe NPs modified DNA1 via Au–S bond, giving an ITO/SnS 2 /ZnIn 2 S 4 /UCNPs/CdSe heterojunction structure. When irradiated with 980 nm near-infrared (NIR) light, the UV–visible light emitted by the UCNPs could excite the nanocomposite , producing an enhanced photoelectric reaction. Subsequently, CEA aptamer and DNA2-modified SiO 2 were added to form a Y-shaped DNA structure. At this time, the photocurrent was significantly reduced by the combination of the light-blocking effect of SiO 2 and the departure of CdSe NPs from the electrode surface . When the target CEA was added, the recognition between CEA and the aptamer led to the collapse of the Y-shaped DNA structure, the restoration of hairpin DNA and the proximity of CdSe to the electrode. Accordingly, the photocurrent signals enhanced again. Under optimal experimental conditions, the detection limit as low as 0.3 pg mL −1 was obtained with good selectivity , achieving a sensitive “on-off-on” photoelectrochemical sensor for CEA detection.

In this study, a laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) method for in-situ determination of yttrium and trace elements in yttrium-doped barium fluoride (BaF 2 : Y) crystals was proposed. A facile, micro-damage procedure for quantifying the segregation coefficient of doping elements was investigated, and it was found that the actual yttrium doping concentration increases from the seed end to the tail end in BaF 2 : Y crystals. In micro-area analysis, this method has higher mass sensitivity which was applied to quantify the impurity content and distribution during the growth of BaF 2 : Y crystals. Regression coefficient of calibration curve for each element ranged from 0.9918 to 0.9995. Detection limits (DLs) were 0.05, 0.03, 0.01 and 0.01 μg g −1 for Mg, Zn, Sr and Pb, respectively. The accuracy of the proposed method was verified by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry/atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-MS/AES) with wet-chemical pretreatment. The objective of the presented work was to provide a less damaging and more novelty approach for crystal sample analysis.

A label-free DNA Y junction sensor for amplified detection of Hg 2+ has been demonstrated by using thymine-Hg 2+ -thymine (T-Hg 2+ -T) recognition, cascade toehold-mediated DNA strand displacement and dye staining double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). In our work, assistant DNA could bind with the first hairpin DNA with toehold domains by the help of thymine-Hg 2+ -thymine (T–Hg 2+ –T) base pairs recognition. The second hairpin DNA with toehold domains will then hybridize with the complementary sequences in first hairpin DNA, which again initiates a new toehold domains to open the third hairpin DNA, triggering a cascade strand displacement reaction. Exonuclease III (Exo III) was added to digest the three hairpin DNA with recessed 3′ ends in the absence of Hg 2+ to reduce the background signal. As a comparison, Exo III is replaced by GO to reduce the background signal because single-strand DNA (ssDNA), three hairpin DNAs with intercalated dye could be adsorbed onto the surface of GO and lead to quenched fluorescence. The method, designed in a simple “mix, incubate, and detect” format, can detect concentrations of Hg 2+ as low as 0.031 nM, and exhibit good selectivity and practical application.

A novel Y-shaped liquid crystalline epoxy with a rigid core with three flexible liquid crystalline arms (ETTPM) was synthesised and its structure was characterised by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It was analysed and observed by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and polarised optical microscopy (POM) that the liquid crystal phase was stable on the temperature range of 107.8°C. In particular, an unusual transition phenomenon of liquid crystal phases was observed. Modified epoxy-resin-cured products were prepared using ETTPM, epoxy resin E51 and 4,4-diaminodiphenyl methane. The liquid crystalline domains in cured products were observed by researching their scattering effect on laser. Mechanical tests showed that ETTPM was effective for the mechanical properties improvement of epoxy-resin-cured products, as demonstrated in the improvement of impact strength, tensile strength and tensile elasticity modulus. The impact fracture cross-sections and surface morphologies were studied further by POM and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Crack deformation, crack split and notable plastic deformations were found in modified epoxy-resin-cured products, and these factors played important roles in improving the impact strength.

Ferroferric oxide/polypyrrole (Fe 3 O 4 /PPy) composites were prepared by an in situ polymerization method. Several analysis techniques including X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy are applied to analyze the structure and morphology of Fe 3 O 4 /PPy. The magnetic Fe 3 O 4 /PPy was further used as an adsorbent for removing Eosin Y, methyl orange and brilliant green from aqueous phase. The adsorption kinetics were investigated by pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion models, and the experimental data were well fitted to the pseudo-second order. The equilibrium adsorption data can be described by both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The calculated Langmuir maximum adsorption capacities of Eosin Y, methyl orange and brilliant green at 25 °C are 212.31, 149.48 and 263.85 mg/g, respectively. Thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption process occurred spontaneously, in an endothermic and physisorption nature, and with increased disorder. Furthermore, the convenient magnetic separability of Fe 3 O 4 /PPy makes it a good candidate for practical application in the removal of organic dyes from polluted water.

Ti(C,N)-304ss cermets with various rare earth yttrium addition were fabricated via powder metallurgy . Fe and Cr atoms dissolved into Ti(C,N) grains and formed a core-rim structure. The first-principle method was employed to calculate the lattice parameters and elastic modulus of the solid solution. The formation of solid solution not only reduced the lattice misfit between the binder phase and hard phase but also improved the hardness of hard phase. The in-situ formed nano-Y 2 O 3 particles existed at the center of Ti(C,N) grains acting as ‘mid effect’ heteromorphic nuclei. The microstructure of cermets was refined with Y addition and the abnormal growth of hard phase was suppressed. The mechanical properties were also improved with Y addition. When the Y content reached 0.3 wt%, the optimal mechanical properties were obtained with a TRS value of 1527 MPa and a hardness value of 91.7 HRA.

Tungsten, one of the refractory metals, has lots of excellent properties, making tungsten powders become a choice of raw material for many applications. This work reported a simple method (the salt-assisted hydrogen reduction of WO 3 powders) for preparing tungsten powders with desired morphologies and size. By adjusting the amount of additive (Y(NO 3 ) 3 ) and reduction temperature, metallic tungsten particles with different morphologies and size were obtained. It was found that both temperature and additive had apparent effects on the morphology and size of metallic W particles, and the large parallelepiped-shaped powders disappeared and large irregular blocky-shaped powders were degraded under the influence of additive. With the increase of temperature and amount of salt, particles became more dispersed and the size increased at higher temperatures, and the shape of particles was changed from spherical to polyhedral as well. On the contrary, the size of sub-particles became smaller as increasing amount of Y(NO 3 ) 3 at lower temperatures. Based on the results, the reaction and refining mechanisms for preparing tungsten were proposed as well.

The twelve quaternary rare-earth selenides Ba2MLnSe5 (M = Ga, In; Ln = Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er) have been synthesized for the first time. The compounds Ba2GaLnSe5 (Ln = Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er) are isostructural and crystallize in a new structure type in the centrosymmetric space group P1̅ of the triclinic system while the isostructural compounds Ba2InLnSe5 (Ln = Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er) belong to the Ba2BiInS5 structure type and crystallize in the noncentrosymmetric space group Cmc21 of the orthorhombic system. The structures contain infinite one-dimensional anionic chains 1∞[GaLnSe5]4– and 1∞[InLnSe5]4–, and both chains are built from LnSe6 octahedra and MSe4 (M = Ga, In) tetrahedra in the corresponding selenides. As deduced from the diffuse reflectance spectra, the band gaps of most Ba2MLnSe5 (M = Ga, In; Ln = Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er) compounds are around 2.2 eV. The magnetic susceptibility measurements on Ba2GaGdSe5 and Ba2InLnSe5 (Ln = Nd, Gd, Dy, Er) indicate that they are paramagnetic and obey the Curie–Weiss law, while the magnetic susceptibility of Ba2InSmSe5 deviates from the Curie–Weiss law as a result of the crystal field splitting. Furthermore, Ba2InYSe5 exhibits a strong second harmonic generation response close to that of AgGaSe2, when probed with the 2090 nm laser as fundamental wavelength.

To meet the increasing requirement, much effort has been devoted to enhance the emission intensity and tailor the emission color of rare earth phosphors. However, limited contributions have been made to the up-conversion (UC) of nanorods by complete epitaxial growth on each facet to achieve this requirement. In this study, we propose a facile epitaxial growth route to grow anisotropic hexagonal β-NaYF4:Yb3+/Ho3+@β-NaYbF4:Er3+, β-NaYF4:Yb3+/Ho3+@β-NaYF4, and β-NaYbF4:Er3+@β-NaYF4 core/shell nanorods, which were realized by adding hexagonal β-NaYF4:Yb3+/Ho3+ or β-NaYbF4:Er3+ nanorods as a core-nanostructure into a solution containing cubic α-NaYbF4:Er3+ or α-NaYF4 nanoparticles as the shell-precursor. During epitaxial growth-induced phase transformation, the precursor nanoparticles disappeared gradually in the solution and consequently corresponding β-phased shell yielded on each outer facet of each β-phased nanorod core. Eventually, the nanorod core was covered completely with a uniformly grown β-NaYbF4:Er3+ or β-NaYF4 shell. The UC emission of either β-NaYF4:Yb3+/Ho3+ or β-NaYbF4:Er3+ core can be enhanced by the outer shell due to the decrease in the number of surface defects. In addition, tailored UC emissions could be obtained by controlling the shell components and thickness, typically in the core/shell nanorods of β-NaYF4:Yb3+/Ho3+@β-NaYbF4:Er3+. The tunable colors with improved emission in these core/shell nanorods may find wider applications in multicolor labeling and anti-counterfeiting.

A label-free electrochemical biosensor for ultrasensitive let-7d RNA detection was developed based on nicking endonuclease (NEase) assisted template enhanced hybridization process (TEHP) and rolling circle amplification (RCA) induced formation of G-quadruplex–hemin complexes. The hairpin probe (H1) was immobilized on the gold electrode through a strong Au S bond. With the help of assistant DNA , the introduction of target let-7d RNA forms the nicking site for the NEase, which cleaves the hairpin probe and releases the target RNA. Further addition of another hairpin probe (H2) initiated the next two cascaded recycling process. The cleaved fragment acted as primer to activate RCA reaction, generating product containing hundreds of hemin aptamer and G-quadruplex–hemin complex can be formed with the help of K + and hemin to give an electrochemical response. The newly designed protocol provides an ultrasensitive electrochemical detection of let-7d RNA down to the 0.42 fM level, and can discriminate target RNA from the let-7 family, holding a great potential for early diagnosis in gene-related diseases.

The uniform 1D nano-rods of RE 3+ doped Ln 7 O 6 F 9 ( Ln = Y and Lu; RE = Pr, Sm and Eu) were synthesized through a facile two-step hydrothermal method without extra fluorine source followed by post-heat treatment. The phase formation, morphologies, as well as photoluminescence properties of the materials were investigated. The precursor composition was determined to be Ln (OH) 1.69 F 1.31 using the Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR), thermal gravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC). The average lengths of Y 7 O 6 F 9 and Lu 7 O 6 F 9 were about 6.8 and 7.9 μm, respectively, with the average width of about 650 nm. It was interesting that the tip of the nano-rods exhibits a straight line and divergent umbrella shaped bifurcation for Y 7 O 6 F 9 and Lu 7 O 6 F 9 , respectively. Upon ultraviolet excitation, Pr 3+ , Sm 3+ and Eu 3+ ions in Ln 7 O 6 F 9 showed blue, orange and red emissions originating from their characteristic f-f transitions. In addition, the 4 f 1 5 d 1 → 4 f 2 band emissions (340–450 nm) as well as typical 4 f 2 → 4 f 2 line emissions (450–700 nm) of Pr 3+ were observed in Pr 3+ -doped Ln 7 O 6 F 9 . For Sm 3+ -doped Ln 7 O 6 F 9 , only the typical f - f transitions of Sm 3+ were observed with the absence of charge transfer (CT) band. However, the broad excitation bands at 255 nm attributing to the charge transfer transition of Eu 3+ (i.e. O 2− → Eu 3+ CT) were observed in Eu 3+ -doped Ln 7 O 6 F 9 .

A simple and effective method for the detection of electrochemically inactive sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) has been designed, based on different binding affinity of polyethyleneimine (PEI) toward electrochemically active eosin Y and electrochemically inactive SDS. The stronger binding affinity of the PEI toward SDS than eosin Y results in the decrease of the redox peak current of surface confined eosin Y and provides a quantitative readout for the SDS. The difference in value of the cathodic peak current showed a linear relationship with SDS concentration in a concentration range from 1 to 40 μg mL −1 , and a detection limit of 0.9 μg mL −1 for SDS was obtained. Furthermore, the method has been successfully applied to the detection of SDS in real samples. The developed approach provided a simple and reliable detection for SDS and might have potential applications in electrochemical methods for inactive molecules.
