Solution-processed approach for the deposition of Cu 2 ZnSn (S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) absorbing layer offers a route for fabricating thin film solar cell that is appealing because of simplified and low-cost manufacturing, large-area coverage, and better compatibility with flexible substrates. In this work, we present a simple solution-based approach for simultaneously dissolving the low-cost elemental Cu, Zn, Sn, S, and Se powder, forming a homogeneous CZTSSe precursor solution in a short time. Dense and compact kesterite CZTSSe thin film with high crystallinity and uniform composition was obtained by selenizing the low-temperature annealed spin-coated precursor film. Standard CZTSSe thin film solar cell based on the selenized CZTSSe thin film was fabricated and an efficiency of 6.4 % was achieved.

Single electron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) was employed to prepare thermal-sensitive starch graft poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (Starch-g-PNIPAM) with soluble Starch-Br as macro-initiator at molecular level. And Starch-g-PNIAPM with improved graft ratio and controlled length of graft chains were obtained. The effects of molar ratio of monomer to initiator and temperature on polymerization were investigated. The thermal responsibilities investigated by 1H NMR and UV showed that the LCST ranged from 31.5 °C to 23 °C with the increase of the length of PNIPAM chains and the concentrations of copolymers. Starch-g-PNIPAM hydrogels were gained when adding N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide as crosslinking agent and the swelling and deswelling behaviors were also investigated. The obtained hydrogels possess a high equilibrium swelling ratio as high as 1826%, and an extremely rapid shrinking rate as fast as losing more than 85% of water in 5 min.

To obtain high photovoltaic performances for the emerging copper zinc tin sulfide/selenide (CZTSSe) thin film solar cells, much effort has deservedly been placed on CZTSSe phase purification and CZTSSe grain size enhancement. Another highly crucial but less explored factor for device performance is the elemental constitution of CZTSSe surface, which is at the heart of p-n junction where major photogenerated carriers generate and separate. In this work we demonstrate that, despite the well-built phase and large grained films are observed by common phases and morphology characterization (XRD, Raman and SEM), prominent device efficiency variations from short circuited to 6.4% are obtained. Insight study highlights that the surface (0–250 nm) compositions variation results in different bulk defect depths and doping densities in the depletion zone. We propose that suitable sulfurization (at ~10 kPa sulfur pressure) drives optimization of surface constitution by managing the Cu, Zn and Sn diffusion and surface reaction. Therefore, our study reveals that the balance of elemental diffusion and interface reactions is the key to tuning the surface quality CZTSSe film and thus the performance of as resulted devices.

Biological macroinitiator for single electron transfer-living radical polymerization was designed from extracted human hair keratin by nucleophilic reaction of amino group with 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide. Homogeneous polymer–protein hybrid oil–absorbing gel was synthesized by copolymerization of acrylate with a small amount of cross-linker using keratin-Br macroinitiator. The variation of gelation properties including gelation time, gel fraction and oil absorbency was studied by changing monomer composition , initiator type, and cross-linker structure. The gelation time did not change significantly by varying the substitution degree of macroinitiator. Aromatic cross-linker was more prone to form microgel and higher oil absorbency was achievable with longer oleophilic chain of acrylate. The polymer–protein was obtained with the maximum oil absorption of chloroform reaching 43.7 g g −1 and performed good reusability.

The concentrations of 16 individual and total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (∑PAHs) in sediments, roots and leaves of three mangrove swamps in Shenzhen, China, namely Futian, Baguang and Waterlands, were determined. The mean concentration of ∑PAHs in Futian (4480 ng g −1 ) was significantly higher than that in Baguang (1262 ng g −1 ) and Waterlands (2711 ng g −1 ). Among the 16 PAHs, the concentration of naphthalene was the highest. Based on the ratios of phenanthrene/anthracene and fluoranthene/pyrene, PAHs in Futian and Waterlands came from petrogenic and pyrolytic sources, while Baguang was mainly from pyrolytic. More PAHs were accumulated in leaves, as reflected by its higher mean concentration of ∑PAHs (3697 ng g −1 ) and bioconcentration factor of PAHs (BCF) (>1.5) than that in roots. The BCF values in plants collected from Futian were significantly higher than that from Waterlands. These results indicated that more attention should be paid to the PAH contamination in Futian.

Crosslinking copolymerization of butyl methacrylate with a small amount of divinylbenzene (DVB) was carried out using single-electron transfer-living radical polymerization initiated with carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) and catalyzed by Cu(0)/N-ligand in N , N -dimethylformamide to produce a highly oil-absorbing gel. The polymerization, gelation process, and oil-absorbing properties were studied in detail. Analysis of monomer conversion with reaction time showed that the polymerization followed first-order kinetics for both linear and crosslinking polymerization before gelation. Higher levels of DVB led to earlier gelation and the influence of N-ligand on gelation was also significant. Under optimal conditions, oil absorption of the prepared gel to chloroform could reach 42.1 g·g −1 . © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2013, 51, 3233–3239

A fluorescent probe with a coumarin moiety bound to rhodamine 6G hydrazide( 1 ) was synthesized. Its sensing behavior toward various metal ions was investigated with fluorescence methods. Compound 1 displays different fluorescence emission responses to Al 3+ and Ca 2+ at the same excitation wavelength in the visible light region, while no changes occur after the addition of other metal ions. The binding ratios of the complexs of 1 -Al 3+ and 1 -Ca 2+ are both 2:1 according to the Job plot and high resolution mass spectrometer(HRMS) experiments. Moreover, emission spectrum of 1 -Ca 2+ complex and absorption spectrum of the rhodamine dyes overlap largely. When Al 3+ was added to the 1 -Ca 2+ system, calcium in complex 1 -Ca 2+ can be displaced by Al 3+ , resulting in the output of another ratiometric sensing signal, which demonstrates that the 1 -Ca 2+ complex can be served as a new and effective fluorescence resonance energy transfer(FRET) donor for rhodamine derivatives.

Abstract Peanut shell (PNS) was used to prepare a novel adsorbent to achieve resource recovery of the agricultural residue. The hydroxyl groups of peanut shell were turned into –C(CH 3 ) 2 –Br pendant groups to initiate polymerization of acrylonitrile. Graft copolymer peanut shell/polyacrylonitrile (PNS- g -PAN) was modified by hydroxylamine hydrochloride to transform the cyano groups into amidoxime (AO) groups. The modified copolymer of AO-PNS- g -PAN was used as adsorbent. The maximum adsorption capacity for Hg(II) was 4.45 mmol g −1 . The adsorption process fitted well the Freundlich isotherm model and followed pseudo-second-order model. The modified copolymer demonstrated its potential as an efficient adsorbent to solve the problem of Hg(II) contamination. Graphical abstract The peanut shell (PNS) macroinitiator was obtained by acylation of hydroxyl groups on the cellulose backbone of the peanut shell and initiated by Cu(0)-mediated RDRP of acrylonitrile. PNS- g -PAN was modified by NH 2 OH·HCl and used to remove heavy metal ions. The maximum adsorption capacity of Hg(II) was 4.45 mmol g −1 .

In this paper, Cd(OH)2 1D three-side nanobelt architectures have been fabricated through a facile two-phase reaction system. Considering their electropositive character proven by zeta potential measurement, the as-obtained Cd(OH)2 nanomaterials have been applied to capture negatively charged DNA. On the basis of the above results, the Cd(OH)2 nanomaterials have been employed for trapping negatively charged double-stranded DNA molecules (salmon sperm DNA). Assisted by the detailed observation of their DNA interaction results as well as through UV–vis spectroscopy, infrared imaging automatic target recognition (IRATR) and inductive coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES) measurements, it has been clearly shown that this 1D nanoarchitecture can effectively trap and release DNA molecules without use of any other organic reagents. In addition, a miniaturized electrochemical DNA-releasing device based on the Cd(OH)2 1D three-side nanobelt architectures has been fabricated. Using this device, it is possible to recycle the Cd(OH)2 nanostructures. In addition, the Cd(OH)2 nanomaterials maintain their nanostructures, and no Cd2+ ions were released in repeated DNA separation and transfer processes, which demonstrate their practicality for DNA trapping.

Polychlorinated diphenyl ethers (PCDEs) are a group of halogenated aromatic compounds and serious environmental pollutants. In the present study, sediment and water samples from eight sites in Nanjing section of the Yangtze River were characterized with 15 congeners of PCDEs. Concentrations and distributions of these PCDEs in water phase and sediments were analyzed by GC/MS. Results demonstrated that ∑PCDE concentrations were higher in the low water period (1.15–1.80 μg/L) than those in the high water period (0.73–1.30 μg/L) in water phase. Moreover, ∑PCDE concentrations were higher in the low water period (1.58–3.98 μg/kg) than those in the high water period (1.24–3.48 μg/kg) in sediments. A significant linear relationship existed between the ∑PCDE concentrations and TOC contents in sediments, but a poor linearity was found between ∑PCDE concentrations and DOC contents in water phase. Furthermore, the comparison of the percentage compositions in sediments and in water phase showed that CDE-30 (2,4,6-tri-CDE) was the predominant congener in the studied sites, and higher chlorinated congeners accounted for a larger proportion in sediments than those in water phase. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated the prevalent contamination by PCDEs in sediments and water from the Nanjing section of the Yangtze River.

The widespread occurrence of ethyl carbamate (EC, 89.09 Da), a group 2A carcinogen, in fermented foods and alcoholic beverages has raised worldwide public health concern. Immunoassay for EC is unavailable due to the simple and small structure of EC. In this work, an initial attempt to produce antibody specific for EC, by using 4-((ethoxycarbonyl)amino)butanoic acid as hapten , was made but failed. However, since EC can easily react with 9-xanthydrol to form xanthyl ethyl carbamate (XEC), two haptens based on XEC structure were designed and synthesized. Polyclonal antibody against XEC, instead of EC was obtained and then used to develop a competitive indirect ELISA for EC via a pre-analysis derivatization . After optimization, the ciELISA was applied in analyzing Chinese rice wine with detection limit of 166 μg/L, and negligible cross-reactivity with EC analogs. Recoveries of EC in fortified samples were from 84.4% to 100.9%, with coefficients of variation below 10%. Results for analysis of real samples by the ci-ELISA correlated well with that by reference method GC-MS, suggesting the good accuracy and reproducibility of the proposed method. This is the first report of an immunoassay capable of detecting EC, which is suitable for monitoring EC in a large amount of samples.

Graphical Our work not only provides the potential protein biomarkers indicating the Cu pollution, target metabolic steps for engineering the Cu-tolerant fungi during bioremediation, but also presents clues for insight into heavy metal tolerance mechanisms of other eukaryotes. Filamentous fungi-copper (Cu) interactions are very important in the formation of natural ecosystems and the bioremediation of heavy metal pollution. However, important issues at the proteome level remain unclear. We compared six proteomes from Cu-resistant wild-type (WT) Penicillium janthinellum strain GXCR and a Cu-sensitive mutant (EC-6) under 0, 0.5, and 3 mmol/L Cu treatments using iTRAQ. A total of 495 known proteins were identified, and the following conclusions were drawn from the results: Cu tolerance depends on ATP generation and supply, which is relevant to glycolysis pathway activity; oxidative phosphorylation, the TCA cycle, gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis, and metabolism are also affected by Cu; high Cu sensitivity is primarily due to an ATP energy deficit; among ATP generation pathways, Cu-sensitive and Cu-insensitive metabolic steps exist; gluconeogenesis pathway is crucial to the survival of fungi in Cu-containing and sugar-scarce environments; fungi change their proteomes via two routes (from ATP, ATP-dependent RNA helicases (ADRHs), and ribosome biogenesis to proteasomes and from ATP, ADRHs to spliceosomes and/or stress-adapted RNA degradosomes) to cope with changes in Cu concentrations; and unique routes exist through which fungi respond to high environmental Cu. Further, a general diagram of Cu-responsive paths and a model theory of high Cu are proposed at the proteome level. Our work not only provides the potential protein biomarkers that indicate Cu pollution and targets metabolic steps for engineering Cu-tolerant fungi during bioremediation but also presents clues for further insight into the heavy metal tolerance mechanisms of other eukaryotes.
