In this report, hybrid silica sol–gel coating was prepared using Ce(NO 3 ) 3 (Sol-Ce) as catalyst. Structure, surface morphology and anticorrosion ability of Sol-Ce solution/coating were studied by infrared spectroscopy (IR), scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), potentiodynamic scan (PDS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). IR results showed that Ce(NO 3 ) 3 had a stronger influence on reactivity of alkoxysilane. EDS results revealed that the fraction of Fe in Sol-Ce coating was significantly lower than regular acid-catalyzed hybrid silica sol–gel coating (Sol-Ac) and Sol-Ac with Ce(NO 3 ) 3 -doped coating (Sol-Ac/Ce). The results of PDS and EIS demonstrated that Sol-Ce coating had better anticorrosion ability than Sol-Ac and Sol-Ac/Ce on carbon steel. The enhanced anticorrosion performance of the Sol-Ce coating might result from the following two reasons: (a) Ce(NO 3 ) 3 as a catalyst could alleviate the negative effects of low pH with using acid catalyst (dissolution of carbon steel) and (b) Ce(NO 3 ) 3 could impede corrosion of carbon steel as corrosion inhibitor.

A liposome of Licochalcone A (LCA-Liposomes) was purposively prepared to ameliorate the low in vivo availability and efficacy of LCA. Physical characterization of LCA-Liposomes was carried out mainly by determining particle size, morphology, zeta potential (Z-potential), and efficiency of LCA encapsulation (EE) via appropriate techniques. Also, the rate of LCA release in vitro and distribution in vivo (plasma and tissues) was evaluated. Evaluation of the antirenal activity of LCA-liposomes was carried out by establishing chronic renal failure (CRF) model in mice through intragastric administration of adenine (200 mg/kg) and subsequent determination of biochemical parameters and examination of tissue sections. Respectively, the mean size of liposomal particles, Z-potential and EE of LCA-Liposomes were 71.78 ± 0.99 nm, −38.49 ± 0.06 mV, and 97.67 ± 1.72%. Pharmacokinetic and tissue distribution studies showed that LCA-Liposomes could improve the availability of LCA in the blood and tissues, whereas during pharmacodynamics studies, the liposome effectively improved the therapeutic effect of LCA on CRF mice by potentially protecting the renal tissues while exhibiting antioxidant activity. In conclusion, LCA-Liposomes could effectively improve the bioavailability of LCA and provide platform for the development of LCA-related functional products. Practical applications As a traditional Chinese medicine, licorice is widely used in food and pharmaceutical industries. LCA is a small molecule flavonoid extracted from the root of licorice. In this study, LCA was loaded on liposome carriers, which significantly improved the water solubility and oral bioavailability, and proved that LCA-Liposomes have certain therapeutic effects on chronic renal failure, thereby providing a basis for the development of LCA into drugs or functional food in the future.

This paper introduced a general method of etching suspended graphene by nonmetallic SiO x nanoparticles (SiO x NPs) in graphene synthesis. Effects of etching time, concentration of silica gel and type of graphene on the etching mode of graphene have been systematically considered with using as-grown graphene film on a silica gel coating copper as model system. Nonmetallic SiO x NPs acted as etchant plays important role in the in situ etching process during the fabrication of graphene. The etched multilayer graphene pattern can be modulated from large area films to a rectangle pattern by varying the Si concentration and etching time, while single layer graphene pattern alters little. The morphology and critical structure of SiO x etched graphene were characterized by Raman spectra, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectrum. The process and mechanism described here open the way for tailoring graphene via nanoparticles instead of metal, which show significant influence of the electrical properties of graphene.

V 2 O 5 , as a lithium-free cathode material, has inherent defects such as sluggish kinetics and volume change and, at the same time, requires a lithium metal anode that tends to form dendrites in liquid electrolytes. Both the lithium dendrite and the flammable electrolyte solvent bring longtime safety issues. This work introduces nonflammable inorganic–organic composite solid electrolyte to inhibit the growth of the lithium dendrite and suppress the instability caused by V 2 O 5 nanometerization. However, the long-term cycling and rate performances are still insufficient even when reducing V 2 O 5 size to about 50 nm. As an improvement, sub-10 nm V 2 O 5 /C nanosheets are designed and prepared using corn stalks as precursors through simple impregnation and calcination process. The V 2 O 5 /C offers a much better electrode/electrolyte contact and interface stability than bulk V 2 O 5 and commercial V 2 O 5 in the inorganic–organic composite solid electrolyte. The discharge capacity is 228 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C after 50 cycles and ≈110 mAh g −1 at 2.0 C.

Lithium–sulfur batteries, as one of promising next-generation energy storage devices, hold great potential to meet the demands of electric vehicles and grids due to their high specific energy. However, the sluggish kinetics and the inevitable “shuttle effect” severely limit the practical application of this technology. Recently, design of composite cathode with effective catalysts has been reported as an essential way to overcome these issues. In this work, oxygen-deficient ferric oxide (Fe 2 O 3− x ), prepared by lithiothermic reduction, is used as a low-cost and effective cathodic catalyst. By introducing a small amount of Fe 2 O 3− x into the cathode, the battery can deliver a high capacity of 512 mAh g −1 over 500 cycles at 4 C, with a capacity fade rate of 0.049% per cycle. In addition, a self-supporting porous S@KB/Fe 2 O 3− x cathode with a high sulfur loading of 12.73 mg cm −2 is prepared by freeze-drying, which can achieve a high areal capacity of 12.24 mAh cm −2 at 0.05 C. Both the calculative and experimental results demonstrate that the Fe 2 O 3− x has a strong adsorption toward soluble polysulfides and can accelerate their subsequent conversion to insoluble products. As a result, this work provides a low-cost and effective catalyst candidate for the practical application of lithium–sulfur batteries.

Novel delivery systems for epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) were developed using broccoli by-products and their fractions as carriers. Puree and pomace from broccoli by-products had higher adsorption capacities for EGCG than juice at 25 °C (43.20 mg g −1 , 39.47 mg g −1 and 25.22 mg g −1 dry weight for pomace, puree and juice respectively). Chemical sorption is the rate-controlling step for EGCG-broccoli interactions. Langmuir and Freundlich models well described the adsorption of EGCG onto puree and pomace. FTIR results indicated that EGCG-puree had stronger interaction than EGCG-pomace. When the same level of EGCG (∼26 mg) was added to different matrices, more EGCG (∼20%) was recovered from the in vitro digestion system of EGCG-loaded puree than from the EGCG-loaded pomace (14%) and neat EGCG (9%). The antioxidant capacity of the whole digesta was positively correlated with the EGCG levels. Broccoli by-products are promising carriers for delivering and stabilizing EGCG through gastrointestinal digestion.

The tetragonal phase Nb 2 O 5 (T-Nb 2 O 5 ) nanobelts with preferentially exposed the (010) facet have been successfully prepared for the first time by insitu topological reaction using the KNb 3 O 8 nanobelts as the precursor. Meanwhile, the transformation mechanism of the crystal structure and morphology from the layered KNb 3 O 8 nanobelt to the T-Nb 2 O 5 nanobelt was revealed in detail by using XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, HRTEM, SAED, UV-vis DRS, EDX, XPS, and Raman spectra. In addition, Ag deposited T-Nb 2 O 5 (Ag/T-Nb 2 O 5 ) nanobelts were prepared by photo-reduction reaction. The photoelectrochemical properties of the T-Nb 2 O 5 nanobelts and Ag/T-Nb 2 O 5 nanobelts as a photocatalyst were evaluated by splitting water under simulated sunlight. The results show that the photocurrent density generated by the prepared Ag/T-Nb 2 O 5 sample is 48.1 µA∙cm −2 , which is 2.3 times that of the T-Nb 2 O 5 sample, and the prepared tetragonal phase T-Nb 2 O 5 nanobelts produce a photocurrent value 1.5 times that of the contrast orthogonal phase O-Nb 2 O 5 nanosheets. It indicates that the (010) facet of the tetragonal phase Nb 2 O 5 is one of the highest photocatalytic active surfaces, and the visible light utilization efficiency of the T-Nb 2 O 5 nanobelt with Ag deposited on the surface has been significantly improved, which implies that it has potential applications in the field of photocatalysis.

The regulation of the metal-support interaction in heterogeneous catalysts can promote the activation of reactants, which is beneficial for the hydrolytic dehydrogenation reaction. Herein, the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of dimethylamine borane (DMAB) is systematically studied on the oxygen vacancy (O v ) enriched Pt-Co 3 O 4 heterogeneous catalyst with the metal-support interaction. It is found that the metallic Pt site facilitates the adsorption of DMAB molecules and the O v on Co 3 O 4 support as an electron-rich center cooperates with the adjacent Pt site to dissociate water molecules. The in situ Raman and attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy reveal the effective activation and cleavage of the O-H in water and the B-H in DMAB over the Pt-Co 3 O 4 catalyst. The optimal Pt-Co 3 O 4 catalyst exhibits the extraordinary activity for the catalytic hydrolysis of DMAB at 303 K, delivering a high specific hydrogen generation rate (64063 mL min −1 g pt −1 ) and a competitive turnover frequency (TOF, 23880 mol H2 mol Pt −1 h −1 ). This performance outperforms most of the reported heterogeneous catalysts for DMAB dehydrogenation . More importantly, the Pt-Co 3 O 4 catalyst achieves the desirable on-demand hydrogen production by using special chemical switches. This finding provides the fundamental understanding of metal-oxide systems with the collaborative interfacial catalysis for boosting DMAB dehydrogenation .

In this work, the fluoroalkylsilane-modified SiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) were immobilized on the polyurethane sponges by a highly efficient drop-coating method using different polymers including poly(vinylidene fluoride), poly(vinylidene fluoride-ter-trifluoroethylene-ter-chlorotrifluoroethylene), polystyrene , and polyurethane as the adhesives to achieve the superhydrophobic modification of the polyurethane sponges for oil-water separation. The successful fluoroalkylsilane modification for the SiO 2 NPs was confirmed by TEM, SEM , FITR, XPS, and TGA. Furthermore, the surface-modified polyurethane sponges were investigated by SEM and two-dimensional EDS mapping. The contact angles of the surface-modified polyurethane sponges were in the range of 151.6°–154.3°, which confirmed the realization of the superhydrophobic modification for the polyurethane sponges. The demonstration experiments showed that the resulting surface-modified polyurethane sponge could effectively remove oil from the oil-water mixture by direct absorption or gravity-driven filtration. Moreover, the surface-modified polyurethane sponges possessed not only high absorption capability for different oils including peanut oil, pump oil, and silicone oil but also good reusability . We believe that such novel surface-modified polyurethane sponges might be potential candidates for the oil-water separation.

In this study, we developed an innovative strategy to fabricate perovskite oxide powder with 12.356 m 2 /g of specific surface area. Polyacrylamide hydrogel was used as a template to prepare Sm 0.5 Sr 0.5 CoO 3-δ (SSC) powders with lamellar structure. The three-dimensional interconnected structured SSC electrodes with lamellar connections were fabricate using screen printing method. As a result, the oxygen vacancy concentration of the SSC powder obtained by the polyacrylamide template method was 0.625 and 0.642 at 650 °C and 700 °C respectively. At 650°C, the polarization resistance value was 0.11 Ω cm 2 for the novel SSC-PAM-V cathode. Compared with the SSC-SG cathode, the polarization resistance and activation energy of SSC-PAM-V were reduced by 50 % and 6.9 %, respectively. Furthermore, in a single cell with SSC-PAM-V electrodes, we achieved a maximum power density of 935 and 1243 mW cm −2 at 650 °C and 700 °C under wet H 2 conditions, demonstrating good electrochemical output performance. The layered porous electrode was not only suitable for the diffusion of oxygen, but also for increasing the reactive active sites. The proposed powder prepared with polyacrylamide hydrogel as template, was not only suitable for the optimization of perovskite oxide, but also for the application in other types of catalysis, providing the potential for improving the electro-catalytic activity of perovskite electrodes.

Hole injection governs the efficiency of ultraviolet organic light-emitting diodes (UV OLEDs) due to the deep highest occupied molecular orbital level of the emissive molecule. Tungsten oxides (WOx), transition metal oxides with high work functions and good stability, cast light on solving this problem. By a low-cost, scalable and high-throughput manufacturing process, herein the facile synthesis of a WOx solution and its doping in poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS + WOx) is systematically investigated for assembling efficient UV OLEDs. X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements confirm that WOx and PEDOT:PSS + WOx have good film morphology and exceptional electronic properties, such as the oxygen deficiency dominated non-stoichiometry of WOx. With PEDOT:PSS + WOx tailoring hole injection and 2-(4-biphenyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole as the emitter, the UV OLEDs show outstanding electro-optic performance, with a radiance of 3.98 mW cm−2, external quantum efficiency of 2.30%, electroluminescence peak at 400 nm and full width at half maximum of 47 nm, which is superior to the performance of the corresponding reference materials. The mechanism of charge transfer from the PEDOT polycation to WOx, enhancing conductivity, is responsible for the robust hole injection/transport and is further elucidated by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy and impedance spectroscopy, contributing to the optimization of the carrier balance and recombination zone. Our results illustrate an alternative approach for boosting UV OLED performance and advancing organic electronics.

The composite after referred to as P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) was prepared via free radical polymerization by polymer including quaternary ammonium salt and epoxy group which grafted onto the surface of Ce-ZnO. ZnO nanorods, Ce-ZnO nanorods, P(DMDAAC-AGE), P(DMDAAC-AGE)/ZnO composites, P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composites and commercial antimicrobials were respectively treated on the cotton fabrics and their biological properties were investigated. There is a synergistic effect between Ce-ZnO and N + from the polymer in the fabric treated with P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composite so that it had a better antibacterial activity than pure polymer and pure Ce-ZnO. The antimicrobial rate of fabric treated with P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composite could reach up to 96%. And in order to investigate the durable ability, the fabric was washed multiple times to simulate the daily use washing. The result showed that the fabric still gave a superior antibacterial performance after 11 cycles (the equivalent of 55 times house laundering). Simultaneously, the differences in the amount of P(DMDAAC-AGE)/(Ce-ZnO) composite deposited on the fibers after washing were also investigated.
