A general ionic-assisted microwave-ultrasonic combined synthetic strategy was developed to fabricate Bi 2 E 3 (E = S, Se, and Te) hierarchitectures. To understand the crystal phase transformation and morphological evolution of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchical nanostructures, the fabrication of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures was investigated by varying sulfidation time and chlorination time. A topotactic transformation from BiOCl microsphere to Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures was proposed. It was found that the structure, size, and morphology of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures could be delicately engineered by varying chlorination time, alkyl chain length, and concentration of ionic liquid. Moreover, the as-prepared Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures displayed superior capacity of Cr(VI) photoreduction to P25 and irregular Bi 2 S 3 nanostructures under visible light irradiation. Effects of morphology, pH value of reaction system, Cr(VI) concentration, and catalyst dosage on the Cr(VI) photoreduction capacity of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures were also discussed. The enhancement of photoreduction capacity is not only attributed to the intrinsic good electron transfer ability of Bi 2 S 3 , but also to synergetic effects of special architectures, wide photoresponse range, high light photoadsorption, high BET surface area and good electron-hole separation performance. The systematic condition experiments and Cr(VI) photoreduction in electroplating and tannery wastewater experiments further demonstrated that the hierarchical Bi 2 S 3 nanospheres can be used in the actual Cr(VI)-containing wastewater treatment.

Simulating natural photosynthesis to convert CO 2 and H 2 O into fuels achieving overall reaction is a promising solution for addressing environmental problems and energy crises. Constructing an S-scheme catalyst of two or more catalytic sites with rapid electron transfer and strong redox capability may be an effective strategy for coupling photocatalytic CO 2 reduction and H 2 O oxidation. Here, an oxygen vacancies-rich S-scheme semiconductor photocatalyst composed of monoclinic lead chromate oxide (Pb 2 (CrO 4 )O) coupled with Mn 3 O 4 quantum dots (QDs) (Pb 2 (CrO 4 )O@Mn 3 O 4 QDs) are synthesized and tested for photoconversion of CO 2 with H 2 O under visible light. Through the integration of Pb 2 (CrO 4 )O with Mn 3 O 4 QDs, the photocatalytic C1-evolution rate on Pb 2 (CrO 4 )O@Mn 3 O 4 QDs is radically increased by 6.0 and 8.1 times, which is much faster than that of pristine Pb 2 (CrO 4 )O and Mn 3 O 4 . The origin of the greatly raised activity is revealed by advanced characterizations, and in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirms the electron transport pathway in Pb 2 (CrO 4 )O@Mn 3 O 4 QDs with light illumination, unveiling the efficient spatial separation/transfer of charge carriers in oxygen vacancies-rich Pb 2 (CrO 4 )O@Mn 3 O 4 QDs S-scheme heterojunction. Consequently, powerful photoelectrons and holes accumulate in the Mn 3 O 4 conduction band and Pb 2 (CrO 4 )O valence band, respectively, exhibiting prolonged long lifetimes and facilitating their involvement in CO 2 photoreduction and H 2 O photooxidation through altering the interfacial charge dynamics.

Novel oxygen vacancies-enriched AgI/Cu-BiVO 4 (ACBV) S-scheme heterojunction catalysts were constructed to boost photocatalytic organics degradation and M. aeruginosa inactivation with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) assistance. Specific interfacial charge transfer and abundant active centers were guided by introducing Cu doping and AgI coupling into BiVO 4 , with the catalytic activity and mechanism systematically investigated. The optimal 0.25-ACBV heterojunction exhibited 97.6% tetracycline (TC) degradation under PMS-assisted visible light and achieved effective inactivation of M. aeruginosa within 20 min (78.8%). The S-scheme heterostructure from Cu-BiVO 4 to AgI and synergistic effects endowed the system with high-energy carrier transfer kinetics and strong oxygen reduction capability. Meanwhile, the redox cycling of Cu 2+ /Cu + and surface oxygen defects served as electron acceptors to accelerate interfacial charge separation and as adsorption activation sites for PMS, promoting efficient mass transfer in the non-homogeneous system. This study inspires the design of high-performance S-scheme photocatalytic activators and expands their potential applications in environmental remediation.

Environmental pollution and energy shortage are two major challenges facing humanity today. Photocatalytic technology, as a green and sustainable approach, is an important choice for effectively addressing these challenges. The formation of S-scheme heterojunctions and built-in electric fields can significantly improve the transfer and separation of photoinduced charge carriers, hence enhancing the efficiency of photocatalytic reactions, which is greatly significant for improving the performance of photocatalysts. In this study, a photocatalyst CdS/ZnIn 2 S 4 with a built-in electric field, which is an S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst, was prepared by a simple solvothermal method. CdS/ZnIn 2 S 4 exhibited efficient visible-light-driven H 2 evolution from water, with a rate of 4.09 mmol g -1 h −1 , 3.60 and 2.80 times higher than that of CdS and ZnIn 2 S 4 , respectively, and an apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) of 2.71 %. Moreover, it also showed performance in visible-light-driven degradation of various ECs, achieving degradation rates of 82.2 %, 80.9 %, and 81.5 % for tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, and norfloxacin, respectively, within 40 min. It was confirmed that the successfully constructed S-scheme heterojunction can effectively separate photoinduced electron-hole pairs and suppress their recombination. The built-in electric field inside the composite material can effectively promote the movement of photoinduced charge carriers, thereby promoting the course of photocatalytic reactions. This study is positively significant for the development of novel efficient photocatalysts, exploration of new methods for environmental pollution control, and development of green hydrogen energy.

BACKGROUND An antifouling and acid/alkali-resistant sulfonated polyethersulfone (S-PES)/polysulfate (PSE) composite ultrafiltration (UF) membrane prepared via a nonsolvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) method was used for the purification of ulinastatin (UTI) as an examplar protein-based drug. RESULT The effect of the content of S-PES on the structure and UF performance of the S-PES/PSE composite UF membrane was investigated. The acid/alkaline resistance of the S-PES/PSE membranes was evaluated in the pH range 5–10 suitable for a UTI solution. UF desalination experiments were carried out on UTI elution collection solution, and the antifouling performance and long-term stability of S-PES/PSE composite UF membrane were evaluated. The results indicate that, for the optimal content of 4% S-PES, pure water flux increased from 120 to 726 L m −2 h −1 , WCA decreased from 79.3° to 51.0°, and the rejection of UTI was 95.90% ± 1.1% compared to PSE. Compared with PES and PSF membranes, the flux recovery rate of the S-PES/PSE composite UF membrane was 80.63% (an increase of 32.48%), and the UTI adsorption was only 75.00 μg cm −2 (a decrease of 88.00%) after simulated antifouling experiments. CONCLUSION The S-PES/PSE composite UF membrane has excellent long-term stability, suggesting significant potential for application in the purification of protein-based drugs and in large-scale UTI purification. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

Four inhibitors (CaO, CaS, CH 4 N 2 S, and (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 ) were employed to inhibit the formation of multiple unintentional persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) using anthracene as a precursor, with CuCl 2 serving as both a transition metal catalyst and chlorine source. The inhibition mechanisms were elucidated in terms of chlorine immobilization, catalyst deactivation, and free radical regulation. The inhibition efficiency of the four inhibitors on polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) ranged from 64.7 % to 98.4 %, with the corresponding inhibition rates on toxic equivalency quantity ranging from 86.3 % to 99.7 %. The distribution of homologs shifted towards less chlorinated species, indicating effective suppression of chlorination. Calcium- and nitrogen-containing compounds consumed chlorine sources by forming CaCl 2 , CaClOH, and NH 4 Cl, while sulfur-containing compounds deactivated catalysts by forming CuSO 4 . EPFRs derived from anthracene were identified as carbon-centered anthracene-type and anthraquinone-type radicals. Positive correlations were observed between POPs and EPFRs concentrations, suggesting the pivotal role of organic free radicals as intermediates in POPs formation. Anthraquinones derived from anthracene underwent decomposition, recombination and chlorination, leading to the formation of PCDD/Fs and PCBs. The addition of inhibitors reduced EPFRs concentrations by 74.2–95.1 %. Sulfur- and nitrogen-containing inhibitors generated radicals that attacked POPs precursors and intermediates, forming heteroatomic compounds and inhibiting POPs formation. These findings enhanced the understanding of the source control mechanisms of POPs and provided theoretical and technical support for the synergistic inhibition of POPs and EPFRs in industrial thermal processes.

Living polymerization of achiral phenyl isocyanide using a simply prepared chiral π-allylnickel complex as initiator was found to proceed in helix-sense-selective manner. The polymerization of achiral phenyl isocyanide, 4-isocyanobenzoyl-2-aminoisobutyric acid hexyl ester ( 1a ) produced optically active helical poly- 1a m (L or D) whose chirality totally come from the helical conformation without containing any other chiral atoms. The monomer-structural effect on the helix-sense-selectivity was examined and indicated the long alkyl group in the monomer is not essential for the helix-sense-selective polymerization. The effect of chiral phosphine ligand was also investigated. The success of the helix-sense-selective polymerizations indicated the high activity of π-allylnickel complexes. Finally, polymerization of 2,5-dibromo-3-hexylthiophene (3HT) and subsequent addition of 1a in the presence of chiral π-allylnickel complex as a single catalyst afforded P3HT m - b -poly- 1a n with nonhelical P3HT and helical poly(phenyl isocyanide) (PPI) segments, which may be used as unique chiral organic materials in the future.

A modified solution method was applied to synthesize cubic garnet solid-state electrolyte Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO) and Li 6.45 Ca 0.05 La 2.95 Ta 0.6 Zr 1.4 O 12 (LCLTZO). The synergetic doping of Ca and Ta is found to induce the formation of cubic LCLZTO with high ionic conductivity of 4.03 × 10 −4 S cm −1 while LLZO without substitution exhibits tetragonal phase with low conductivity. A Li-S cell with sulfur cathode and as-prepared LCLTZO solid electrolyte “separator” was conducted to deliver large initial discharge capacity of 1090 mAh g −1 with high initial Coulombic efficiency up to 92%. Cell with LCLTZO also exhibited better cycling performance at 0.2 C and extremely high Coulombic efficiency (close to 100%) than the cell without solid electrolyte. Better rate performance was also achieved at lower rate (0.2 C, 0.5 C and 1 C) by cell with LCLTZO although it lost advantages at higher rate of 2 C and 5 C due to the limitation of ionic conductivity of LCLTZO. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) provided direct evidence that LCLTZO solid electrolyte greatly suppressed the shuttle effect generated by polysulfides . The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was applied to discuss the difference between cells with and without LCLTZO during the discharge process. Charge transfer reaction referred to soluble polysulfides was found to be slower in cell with LCLTZO than that in cell without solid electrolyte.

A novel redox-sensitive system for co-delivering hydrophobic drugs and hydrophilic siRNA or shRNA was developed by conjugating gambogic acid (GA) with poly(amido amine)s (PAAs) through amide bonds, which is called GA-conjugated PAAs (PAG). PAG can self-assemble into micelles as amphiphilic block copolymers , which exhibits an excellent loading ability for the co-delivery of docetaxel (DTX) and MMP-9 shRNA with adjustable dosing ratios. In addition, confocal microscopy , flow cytometry and in vitro transfection analyses demonstrated more efficient cellular internalization of DTX and MMP-9 shRNA after incubation with PAG/DTX- MMP-9 shRNA micelles (PAG/DTX-shRNA) than with free drugs. Unlike traditional amphiphilic copolymer micelles, GA conjugated in PAG possesses an intrinsic anticancer efficacy. The presence of disulfide bonds in PAAs enables rapid disassembly of PAG micelles in response to reducing agents, inducing the release of loaded drugs (DTX, GA and MMP-9 shRNA). In vitro cellular assays revealed that PAG/DTX-shRNA micelles inhibited MCF-7 cell proliferation more efficiently than the single drug or single drug-loaded micelles. In vivo biodistribution and anti-tumor effect studies using an MCF-7 breast cancer xenograft mouse model have indicated that PAG/DTX-shRNA micelles can enhance drug accumulation compared with the free drug, thereby sustaining the therapeutic effect on tumors. Additionally, PAG/DTX-shRNA micelles displayed a greater anti-tumor efficacy than Taxotere® and PAG-shRNA micelles. These results suggest that the redox-sensitive PAG platform is a promising co-delivery system for combining drugs and gene therapy for the treatment of cancer. Statement of Significance The PAG micelles were designed by conjugating gambogic acid (GA) with poly(amido amine)s (PAAs), which would serve dual purposes as both gene and drugs co-delivery carrier and an anti-tumor prodrug. Unlike traditional amphiphilic micelles, GA conjugated in PAG could exert its intrinsic efficacy and provide synergistic antiproliferative effects with docetaxel (DTX) on MCF-7 cells. Disulfide bonds in PAG enables a rapid disassembly of PAG micelles in response to reducing agents and to release all loaded drugs (DTX, GA and MMP-9 shRNA) at tumor sites. PAG/DTX-shRNA micelles displayed greater anti-tumor efficacy than that of Taxotere®, indicating the design concept for PAG works well. And the strategy for PAG could be used to develop a series of similar co-delivery systems through conjugations of other small-molecule drugs with PAAs, such as doxorubicin , methotrexate and other drugs with carboxy groups in their structure.

Bisphenol A (BPA) and its substitute bisphenol S (BPS) are desirable materials widely used in manufacturing plastic products but can pose carcinogenic risks to humans. A new conductive iron-based metal-organic framework (Fe-HHTP)-modified pencil graphite electrode (PGE) for electrochemically sensing BPA and BPS was prepared and fully characterized by SEM, TEM, FT-IR, XRD, and XPS. Results showed that the optimal conditions for preparing Fe-HHTP/PGE were a pH of 6.5, a Fe-HHTP concentration of 2 mg·mL −1 , a deposition potential of 0 V, and a deposition time of 100 s. The Fe-HHTP/PGE prepared under such conditions harbored a significant electrocatalytic activity with a detection limit of 0.8 nM for BPA and 1.7 nM for BPS ( S / N = 3). Correspondingly, the electrochemical response current was linearly correlated to BPA and BPS, ranging from 0.01 to 100 μM. Fe-HHTP/PGE also obtained satisfactory recoveries by 93.8–102.1% and 96.0–101.3% for detecting BPA and BPS in plastic food packaging samples. Our work has provided a novel electrochemical tool to simultaneously detect BPA and BPS in food packaging samples and environmental matrixes.

The step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunction shows the merits of controlling the directional transfer of photogenerated charge carriers and realizing a strong redox potential for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and carbon dioxide reduction. In this paper, a zero/two-dimensional (0D/2D) S-scheme heterojunction composed of cadmium selenide quantum dots and covalent triazine frameworks (CdSe/CTF) is designed and fabricated by an electrostatic self-assembly approach. Compared with pristine CTF and CdSe quantum dots, the photocatalytic activities of CdSe/CTF composites for hydrogen evolution, carbon dioxide reduction and terpene oxidation are significantly enhanced. The hydrogen evolution rate of CdSe/CTF hybrid photocatalyst immobilized with platinum nanoparticles as cocatalyst reached 19.0 mmol g −1 h −1 under visible-light irradiation, and the apparent quantum yield is 9.8 % at 420 nm. The CdSe/CTF hybrid also exhibited more superior photocatalytic activity in carbon dioxide reduction with a carbon monoxide evolution rate of 1.48 mmol g −1 h −1 , and presented higher photocatalytic reactivity in the selective oxidation of α -terpinene to p -cymene. The remarkable enhancement of photocatalytic performance for CdSe/CTF composite is mainly attributed to the facilitated separation and transfer of photoexcited charge carriers of 0D/2D S-scheme heterojunction. This work provides an in-depth insight of utilizing semiconducting polymers as a suitable platform to sustainably transform inexhaustive solar energy to storable chemical energy.

To achieve an eco-friendly flotation separation of galena from pyrite under the low alkaline and depressant-free conditions, the triazine-dithione surfactants, such as 2-dimethylamino- s -triazine-4-thiol-6(1H)-thione sodium (DMN), 2-diethylamino- s -triazine-4-thiol-6(1H)-thione sodium (DEN) and 2-dibutylamino- s -triazine-4-thiol-6(1H)-thione sodium (DBN) were designed as the special collectors for galena. The micro-flotation results showed that the collecting capacity of these three collectors towards galena was in the order of DBN > DEN ≫ DMN, being consistent with their hydrophobization ability. In-situ AFM observed the aggregation of DBN on the whole surface of galena, which significantly enhanced the contact angle of galena. UV spectra and zeta potential recommended that the affinity of DBN towards lead ions and galena was much stronger than ferrous/ferric ions and pyrite. DFT (density functional theory) calculation revealed DBN’s two exo -S atoms were of its electron-donating center. And XPS confirmed the bonding interaction of the two exo -S atoms with Pb(Ⅱ) atoms on/in galena surface. DBN owned the mild electron-donating capacity and strong electron-accepting ability, and realized the eco-friendly flotation separation of galena from pyrite at pH ∼8.0.
