Bacterial biofilm often exists in non-healing wounds, and if it cannot be removed promptly, further complications will occur. Bioactive biodegradable wound dressings with the ability to kill bacteria, eliminate biofilms and prevent infections are expected to solve this problem. This study reports the development of a new l -tryptophan and l -phenylalanine-based poly(ester urea)s which aims at fabricating electrospun composite mat with nitric oxide releasing capability for infected wound treatment. The designed l -tryptophan and l -phenylalanine based poly(ester urea)s owned adjustable degradability and good biocompatibility , indicating it could be an ideal biomaterial for wound repair. The electrospun mat was an ideal cargo for steady and continuous delivery with a total concentration of 0.8 μmol/L of NO. The mats showed obvious advantages in killing the bacteria and destructing biofilms. Such electrospun mats could promote proliferation and improve collagen deposition as well as accelerate wound healing. It suggests that the fabric mats can act as a suitable candidate in infected-wound care applications.

A new ternary Ba-based selenide, Ba3SiSe5, was synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state method. It crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group Pnma (no. 62) of the orthorhombic system. The structure of the title compound consists of unique Se(4)Ba layers and discrete SiSe4 tetrahedra. The structure and computational properties of Ba3SiSe5 are systematically studied together with those of the Ba–MIV–Q (MIV = Si, Ge; Q = S, Se) system, and show an interesting difference in dimensions formed by one of the crystallographic Ba atoms and MIVQ4 tetrahedra, as well as optical property transformations modulated by MIV atoms. First principles methods were employed to obtain a better understanding of the relationship between structures and properties. Ba3SiSe5 maintains a moderate birefringence of 0.044@1064 nm and the real space atom cutting method indicates that the SiSe4 tetrahedra make the major contribution to its birefringence.

The development of high-performance non-precious bifunctional electrocatalysts for both the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is urgently needed to realize the commercialization of rechargeable metal-air battery. Herein, we report a ZIF-67 derived hybrid Co-based carbon composite as bifunctional ORR/OER electrocatalyst exhibiting excellent performance and stability in a custom-built Zn-air battery. The catalyst was formed by pyrolytic carbonization of ZIF-67 followed by mild oxidation and sulfurization to a hybrid composite (Co/Co 3 O 4 @CoS-SNC) comprised of multiple active sites including Co-N 4 , Co-N/S-C, C-N/S-C, Co 3 O 4 and CoS, as well as the surface and edge defects in the carbon matrix, that act concertedly yielding a highly efficient bifunctional ORR/OER catalyst for reversible oxygen electrodes. The catalyst affords remarkably low reversible overpotentials and stability not only in a 3-electrode system, but also in a custom-constructed Zn-air battery, exhibiting competitive performance against state-of-the-art bifunctional ORR/OER electrocatalysts reported to date and thus placing it among the best non-precious metal catalysts for reversible oxygen reactions.

The synthesis of Vis-light driven catalysts with high photocatalytic performance and efficient activation of persulfate requires new strategies. Herein, a multistage structural tuning graphitic carbon nitride co-modified by Co, S (pg-C 3 N 4 /Co 3 O 4 /CoS) was synthesized for the first time through in-situ template method and microwave sulfurization treatment. A photocatalysis-PMS oxidation coupling system was also proposed. The results showed that the introduction of cobalt could improve the photocatalysis and PMS activation efficiency of the graphitic carbon nitride. Further sulfurization treatment could generate more active sites for PMS activation and increase the interlayer distance of carbon nitride to broaden the absorption range of Vis-light. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated the migration of electrons from carbon nitride to CoS promoted the recycling of Co 3+ /Co 2+ . In the coupling system, BPF 50 mL (30 mg L -1 ) was degraded by 99% in 10 min with 0.1 g L -1 catalyst and 0.32 mmol L -1 PMS. The degradation rate was 4 times faster than that of pure PMS system under visible light. Notably, BPF was effectively mineralized and TOC removal rate reached 90%. The stability and recycling experiments showed that pg-C 3 N 4 /Co 3 O 4 /CoS maintained high catalytic performance under complex matrix and multiple cycles, and could be quickly separated and recovered due to the magnetic Co 3 O 4 . This work will provide a new strategy for the development of multi performance catalytic materials, and the proposed photocatalysis-PMS coupling system has huge potential for the wastewater treatment.

An ultra-sensitive spectrofluorimetry method was developed and validated for the rapid determination of ferrocyanide ions (hexacyanidoferrate(II), FeCN64-, FCNs) by using sulphur (S) and nitrogen (N) dual-doped fluorescence carbon nanoparticles (S,N-FCNPs) as nanoprobe. The fluorescence of S,N-FCNPs was strongly reduced due to the dynamic interaction between S,N-FCNPs and FeCNs. The developed method proved to be highly sensitive and selective for FeCNs detection with linearity in three concentration ranges over four orders of magnitude, covering 0.01–200.0 μg/mL.A limit of detection (LOD) of 2.8 ng/mL was obtained. The method was successfully applied for the determination of FeCNs in a series of dietary food salt samples and gave satisfactory results; the spiked recoveries were 97.6‒104.6% with standard uncertainty less than 5.8%. The method proved to be applicable for ultra-trace detection of FeCNs in food salt samples, having advantages in great simplicity, rapid response, low cost, favourable selectivity, and high sensitivity.

The advocacy of green chemical industry has led to the development of highly efficient catalysts for direct gas-phase propene epoxidation with green, sustainable and simple essence. The S-1/TS-1@dendritic-SiO 2 material with three-layer core–shell structure was developed and used as the support for Au catalysts, which showed simultaneously fantastic PO formation rate, PO selectivity and stability (over 100 h) for propene epoxidation with H 2 and O 2 . It is found that silicalite-1 (S-1) core and the middle thin layer of TS-1 offer great mass transfer ability, which could be responsible for the excellent stability. The designed dendritic SiO 2 shell covers part of the acid sites on the external surface of TS-1, inhibiting the side reactions and improving the PO selectivity. Furthermore, three kinds of SiO 2 shell morphologies (i.e., dendritic, net, mesoporous shell) were designed, and relationship between shell morphology and catalytic performance was elucidated. The results in this paper harbour tremendous guiding significance for the design of highly efficient epoxidation catalysts.

Over the past decade, lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have been thought of as promising alternatives for the new generation of battery systems. Although the Li–S batteries possess high-theoretical energy density (2600 Wh kg–1) and capacity (1675 mAh g–1), the problems of poor electron and ion conduction, volumetric expansion, and sulfur immobilization greatly impede the wide applicability of Li–S batteries. Herein, a defect-rich multishelled Co3O4 microsphere structure doped with Fe was synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method and subsequent thermal treatment. The unique multishelled structure provides multiple spatial confinements for lithium polysulfides trapping and buffering the volume variation during cycling. Moreover, the rich oxygen defect designed by controlled Fe doping can provide numerous catalytic sites for polysulfide redox reactions. Attributed to the synergistic effect of structural design and oxygen-defect fabrication, the sulfur composite electrode delivers a notable cycle performance, presenting a much lower capacity fading of 0.017% per cycle over 1000 cycles at 1 C and an excellent rate capability of 571.3 mAh g–1 at 5 C. This work proposes a potential approach for designing a transition metal oxide-based multishelled hollow structure combined with oxygen defect, which also offers a new perspective on high-performance Li–S batteries.

It was demonstrated that the electrochemical performance enhancements in KOH-activated carbon materials should be mainly due to the created polar oxygen-containing functional groups (OFGs, such as such as C–O, C O, –OH, and O–C O), while the role of each OFGs on the electrochemical enhancements is still unclear. In this work, KOH activation treatments were systematically conducted on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to explore the role of each OFG on the performance enhancements of Li–S batteries (LSBs). Results showed that the capacity of activated-CNT-sulfur (a-CNT-S) cathodes is 33% higher than that of the pristine CNT-S cathodes, and their rate capability and cycling stability are also enhanced. And the electrochemical analysis combining with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicated that the formed C–O bonds are the real factor for the enhanced electrochemical performances of a-CNT-S cathodes. Furthermore, the optimal activation conditions on CNT-based cathodes for LSBs were optimized to be 10 min at 700 °C.

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) with in situ porous nanostructures and high specific surface area have been widely used in supercapacitors , and the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets is an excellent electronic conductor and support in loading other materials. Herein, for the first time, we report the unique Co/Zn-MOF derived Co/Zn–S polyhedron homogeneously embedded between the rGO sheets film as a binder-free electrode for high performance hybrid supercapacitor . Using a mild in situ synthesis method and vulcanization process, a 3D nano-electrode material Co/Zn–S@rGO is prepared by combining Zn 0.76 Co 0.24 S nanoparticles with rGO film. Among them, Co/Zn–S@rGO-7 samples with optimizing ratio deliver a high capacitance of 1640 F g −1 at the current density of 1 A g −1 in 6 M KOH alkaline aqueous electrolyte . The asymmetric supercapacitor (Co/Zn–S@rGO-7//AC) using Co/Zn–S@rGO as the positive electrode and activated carbon as the negative electrode shows an ultra-high energy density of 91.8 W h kg −1 , when the power density is 800 W kg −1 . Moreover, the device also shows a high cycle stability under high current density (90.3% capacity retention after 8000 cycles). It shows that the electrode materials prepared by this method has a good application prospect in electrochemical energy storage .

9-Nitro-20(S)-camptothecin (9-NC) is a broad-spectrum antitumor drug used in tumor treatments, but its clinical applications and antitumor efficacy are limited by its structural instability, poor solubility, and extremely low drug utilization in tumor tissues. In this study, enzyme-sensitive nuclear-targeted dual-functional polymeric micelles were developed for 9-NC delivery with a high drug loading content (12.93 ± 0.88%), steady-state circulation, and a rapid attack at the “heart” of tumor cells. Briefly, chrysin (CHR) as a π-conjugated moiety was immobilized on the PCL terminal in the TAT–PCL amphiphiles and combined with the ALAL peptide as a linker on HA chains to yield the ultimate CHR–PCL–TAT–ALAL–HA (HATPC) amphiphiles. Spherical 9-NC-loaded micelles were obtained from the self-assembly of the dual-functional amphiphiles comprising HATPC and 9-NC with uniform nanosize (121.6 ± 5.79 nm), well-distributed morphology (PDI: 0.256), and negative surface charge (−23.2 ± 0.5 mV), yielding high stability during blood circulation. In this drug delivery system, HA acts as an active tumor-targeting instrument via CD44-receptor-mediated endocytosis; further, the ALAL peptide could be cutoff in the lysosomes of the tumor cells due to the high expression of cathepsin B, leading to lysosomal escape, while the secondary polymeric micelles targeted the tumor cell nucleus via the exposed TAT peptide. The enzyme sensitivity and nuclei targetability of the 9-NC/HATPC micelles were confirmed by dynamic light scattering and confocal laser scanning microscopy analyses. As compared to free 9-NC and traditional mPEG2k–PCL2k polymeric micelles, 9-NC/HATPC micelles were the most concentrated in the tumor cell nucleus; therefore, they exhibited the highest cytotoxicity against SKOV3 tumor cells both in vitro (IC50 = 0.03 μg mL−1) and in vivo. This enzyme-sensitive nuclear-targeted dual-functional drug delivery system involving HATPC provided a new and promising strategy for enhanced 9-NC delivery and antitumor efficacy.

La–Sn-codoped Zn(O,S) catalysts were synthesized with different amounts (0%, 2.5%, 5%, and 10%) of Sn and a constant amount (10%) of La to improve the photocatalytic hydrogenation reaction (PHR) of azobenzene to aniline. The as-prepared catalysts were carefully characterized and tested for a hydrogenation reaction. The incorporation of Sn significantly enhanced the PHR activities since the incorporated Sn in the Zn(O,S) lattices could increase the conductivity of the catalysts to improve the charge transfer during the catalytic reaction as indicated with EIS measurement. Further measurement with a photoresponse of La–Sn-codoped Zn(O,S) catalysts also exhibited relatively higher intensities as compared to those of La-doped Zn(O,S) and Sn-doped Zn(O,S) catalysts. On the basis of the measurement results of EIS and transient photo current, the La–Sn-codoped Zn(O,S) with the best properties was further utilized for PHR to convert azobenzene to aniline. GC–MS measurement confirmed that 15 ppm azobenzene could be totally converted to aniline in only 60 min which was achieved with a catalyst that was prepared with 5%-Sn and 10%-La doping. The relatively short reaction time indicated that the as-prepared catalyst had a strong reduction capability able to cleave the strong bonding of N═N in azobenzene. The reaction kinetic of the N═N bond cleavage was elucidated based on solvation, adsorption, pinning, and photocatalytic hydrogenation processes on the catalyst surfaces.

Highly effective bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts play a key role in fuel cells (FCs), metal–oxygen batteries, and water splitting devices. In this paper, metal organic layer (MOL) derived Co/Co9S8 nanoparticles coated with N,S co-doped graphene-like carbon nanosheets were synthesized with the help of the space-confinement effect of montmorillonite (MMT). The as-prepared material shows excellent electrocatalytic activity both for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions in 0.1 M KOH solution: its ORR onset potential is 0.93 V (vs. RHE) and the limiting diffusion current density is 4.7 mA cm−2. Moreover, the retention of current for the as-prepared material is 85% after a stability test for 10 000 s for the ORR, while those of the template free catalyst and commercial Pt/C glided below 80%. Additionally, its Tafel slope is 265 mV dec−1, which is much smaller than that of the control sample, suggesting the excellent OER kinetics. The excellent catalytic activity and stability can be attributed to the relatively higher specific surface area, higher number of pyridinic-N and Co–Nx active sites, and higher graphitization degree compared to the template free catalyst.
