A fluorescence polarization (FP) assay for the simultaneous determination of bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol F (BPF), bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) and bisphenol F diglycidyl ether (BFDGE) was developed. The method was based on the competition between bisphenols (BPs) and fluorescein-labeled dexamethasone derivative (Dex-fl) for mouse peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α ligand binding domain (mPPARα-LBD). A recombinant soluble protein derivative mPPARα-LBD* was prepared, then in vitro binding of 4 BPs to mPPARα-LBD* was investigated. Fluorescence polarization assay showed that these compounds exhibited different binding potencies with mPPARα-LBD*. Additionally, molecular dynamics simulations were performed to further understand the mechanism of BPs binding affinity for mPPARα-LBD*. Docking results elucidated that the driving forces for the binding of BPs to mPPARα-LBD* were predominantly dependent on hydrophobic and hydrogen-bonding interactions. Comparison of the calculated binding energies vs. experimental binding affinities yielded a good correlation (R 2 = 0.7258). The proposed method has potential for multi-residue detection of BPA, BPF, BADGE, and BFDGE.

Superhydrophobic and highly oleophobic coatings have the potential for self-cleaning, anti-icing, optoelectronic and antifouling application. In this study, emulsion polymerization and sol-gel methods were employed to prepare a new superhydrophobic and highly oleophobic coating. The structures, surface morphology and the properties of the coating were analyzed by IR, SEM, TG and CA. Pencil scratch test and cross-cut tape test were performed to evaluate the coating mechanical properties. The coating exhibited superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle of greater than 150° and a sliding angle of 4.42° as well as high oleophobicity as demonstrated by a diiodomethane contact angle of 147.41° and a sliding angle of 9.85°. The coating exhibited 6H pencil hardness and 5B cross-cut adhesion properties. These interesting and robust properties make them promising candidates for some applications.

Graphical A novel Co─FCN heterojunction photocatalyst was synthesized by introducing Co 3 O 4 and fluorine into graphitic carbon nitride (CN) using a simple one-pot pyrolysis method. The photocatalytic activity was assessed through the photodegradation of Rhodamine B (RhB). The resulting Co─FCN photocatalyst demonstrated superior photocatalytic performance and stability compared to pure CN. Photocatalysis is an effective solution to degrade organic dye discharge in wastewater treatment due to its efficiency, environmental friendliness and cost-effectiveness. However, issues such as limited visible light absorption and rapid charge carrier recombination hinder its practical use. In this research, the heterojunction (Co─FCN) composed of carbon fluoride nitride and cobalt tetroxide (Co 3 O 4 ) was successfully prepared by a simple one-pot pyrolysis method. The obtained nanocomposites showed their efficiency as photocatalyst in the photodecomposition of Rhodamine B (RhB). The relationship between microstructure and properties of photocatalyst was studied in detail by means of characterization techniques. The results showed that the RhB degradation efficiency of Co 3 ─FCN was 92.91% within 60 min irradiation time. The results of free radical scavenging experiments show that superoxide anion (·O 2− ) and hydroxyl radical (·OH) are the main active species in Co─FCN composite catalysts. In addition, the potential degradation pathway of RhB was inferred based on the intermediates detected by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and the preliminary photocatalytic reaction mechanism of Co─FCN heterogeneous catalyst was constructed accordingly. Therefore, this research provides new insights into the preparation and modification of CN photocatalysts, thereby promoting the application potential of efficient photocatalysts in the degradation of organic pollutants.

Peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based advanced oxidation processes have shown potential for the removal of organic contaminants; however, the preparation of catalysts with high degradation efficiencies and rapid reaction rates remains a challenge. In this study, we have successfully synthesized CoFe bimetallic modified corn cob-derived biochar (CoFe/BC) for the activation of PMS, achieving the rapid and efficient degradation of bisphenol F (BPF). The synthesized CoFe/BC catalyst demonstrated excellent catalytic performance, achieving over 99% removal within 3 min and exhibiting a removal rate of 90.0% after five cycles. This could be attributed to the cyclic transformation of Co and Fe, which sustained rapid PMS activation for BPF degradation, and Co0/Fe0played a significant role in the cyclic transformation. Furthermore, the electron paramagnetic resonance tests confirmed that •SO4−and •OH were the primary reactive oxygen species, while •O2−played a minor role in BPF degradation. This study highlights the high degradation efficiency, rapid reaction rate, excellent magnetic separation properties, and exceptional reusability of CoFe/BC catalysts for BPF removal, providing valuable insights for practical wastewater treatment.

6:2 chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (F-53B), a Chinese PFOS alternative, has recently been identified in river water, sewage sludge , wildlife and humans, causing great concerns about its potential toxic effects. Here, we report the first investigation of the toxicokinetics and oxidative stress of F-53B in adult zebrafish. Adult male and female zebrafish were exposed to 10 and 100 μg/L of F-53B for 7 days followed by a 5-d depuration period to examine bioaccumulation, distribution, and depuration of F-53B in fish. The results showed that F-53B was readily accumulated in fish tissues with log BCF values of 2.36–3.65, but was eliminated slowly ( t 1/2 = 152.4–358.5 h). F-53B accumulation was greater in males than in females and the concentration in tissues decreased in the following order: gonad ≈ liver ≫ gill ≫ brain in females and liver ≈ gill ≫ gonad ≫ brain in males, showing sex- and tissue- specific accumulation of F-53B in fish. After chronic exposure to F-53B for 28 days, a significant dose-dependent increase in histopathological changes in the liver were mainly manifested by vacuolation. Furthermore, F-53B also significantly reduced the enzyme activity (or content) of most of the measured oxidative stress-related markers (e.g., SOD, CAT and MDA) except for an increase in GSH-Px activity, indicating that oxidative stress was induced in zebrafish after treatment with F-53B. The results of this study provide important information on the toxicokinetics and toxic effects of F-53B, which will contribute to the ecological risk assessments of F-53B released into surface waters.

Cascade recognition of trivalent chromium cation (Cr 3+ ) and fluoride anion (F − ) via rhodamine-urea methacrylate-based fluorescent probe (RhBUA) and its subsequent cationic complex was reported. The non-fluorescent rhodamine derivatives can selectively detect Cr 3+ cation over some other metal ions in CH 3 CN–H 2 O (90/10, v/v, pH 7.0) solutions with a 1:1 stoichiometry, leading to prominent fluorescence OFF–ON switching. The obtained RhBUA–Cr 3+ complex can subsequently serve as a sensitive and selective chemosensor for F − ion. Complete signal quenching (fluorescence ON–OFF switching) can also be observed, ascribing to the extraction of Cr 3+ cation and the resulting deformation of RhBUA–Cr 3+ complex.

Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and its alternative 6:2 chlorinated polyfluoroethersulfonate (6:2 Cl-PFESA, also known as F-53B), are frequently detected in a variety of environmental and human samples. These substances have been associated with hepatotoxic effects, including disorders in lipid metabolism and oxidative stress. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the causal relationship between exposure to F-53B and hepatotoxicity remain inadequately understood. This study investigated the toxicokinetics and mechanisms of hepatotoxicity associated with prolonged exposure to F-53B in adult Chinese rare minnows. Specifically, 5-month-old adult Chinese rare minnow was exposed to concentrations of 10 μg/L and 200 μg/L of F-53B for a duration of 28 days for bioaccumulation assessment, followed by a 14-day period for metabolic evaluation. The findings indicated that the bioaccumulation of F-53B in the tissues was positively correlated with the exposure concentrations. The logarithmic bioconcentration factor (Log BCF28d) was determined to be 2.67 ± 0.02 for the low concentration group and 2.27 ± 0.01 for the high concentration group. The calculated half-lives (t 1/2 ) were 18.50 ± 1.67 days and 21.38 ± 0.31 days for the respective concentration groups. F-53B protein exhibited a distinct tissue-specific distribution in adult Chinese rare minnow, with the following order of enrichment: Blood > Liver > Gonad > Gill > Intestine > Brain > Muscle. F-53B was primarily concentrated in the blood and liver, where the protein content was significantly higher. Exposure to F-53B for 28 days significantly elevated biochemical levels associated with lipid metabolism and increased the activities of the enzymes FAS, PPARα, and ACC in the liver. This exposure also resulted in impairment of the hepatic oxidative system in the Chinese rare minnow, with F-53B significantly reducing most of the measured markers related to oxidative stress (e.g., GSH, SOD, CAT, and MDA). Proteomic analysis indicated that the toxicity of F-53B regulates the expression of proteins across several functional classes. Based on the functional information of the differential proteins provided in UniProt and KEGG, they were categorized into five main categories: Cellular Processes, Environmental Information Processing, Genetic Information Processing, Metabolism, and Organismal Systems. This study indicate that F-53B is bioaccumulative and persistent in Chinese rare minnow, and can further induce oxidative stress and lipid metabolism disorders. Combined with proteomic research methods, the toxicological effects of F-53B on Chinese rare minnow can be better explained.

Photocatalytic ozonation (PCO) was a novel water treatment method, but the low photo-generated electron ( e - ) utilization and ambiguous ROS formation mechanism restrained its performance. Herein, C vacancy and F co-decorated g-C 3 N 4 (FCN_Cv) was designed to accelerate the PCO performance with sodium p -perfluorinated nonoxybenzenesulfonate (OBS) acting as model pollutant. Comparative characterizations revealed that FCN_Cv remained the inherent structure of g-C 3 N 4 (BCN), and had an enhanced conduction band potential, narrower band gap and longer e - lifetime. FCN_Cv exhibited the greater activity over BCN, with 99.3 % OBS removal in 30 min but only 78.3 % for BCN during PCO process. •OH was the main ROS for degrading OBS. The greater •OH yield was obtained by FCN_Cv PCO process because of the increase of e - utilization. On one hand, the two electrons reduction of O 2 into H 2 O 2 on FCN_Cv was accelerated, which triggered the peroxone reaction between photogenerated-H 2 O 2 and O 3 . On the other hand, the direct one electron reduction of O 3 by e - also accounted for •OH generation. 17 kinds of intermediates were detected and the OBS degradation routes were inferred, which was involved with hydroxylation, C-O cleavage and aromatic ring opening reactions. Overall, this study demonstrated the feasibility of decorating F element and C vacancy on g-C 3 N 4 in enhancing e - utilization and •OH generation during PCO process as well as deepened the understanding of fate of OBS in PCO process.

The frequent detection of 6:2 chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (F-53B) in various environments has raised concerns owing to its comparable or even higher environmental persistence and toxicity than perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). This study investigated the plasma degradation of F-53B for the first time using a water film plasma discharge system. The results revealed that F-53B demonstrated a higher rate constant but similar defluorination compared to PFOS, which could be ascribed to the introduction of the chlorine atom . Successful elimination (94.8–100 %) was attained at F-53B initial concentrations between 0.5 and 10 mg/L, with energy yields varying from 15.1 to 84.5 mg/kWh. The mechanistic exploration suggested that the decomposition of F-53B mainly occurred at the gas-liquid interface, where it directly reacted with reactive species generated by gas discharge . F-53B degradation pathways involving dechlorination , desulfonation , carboxylation , C-O bond cleavage , and stepwise CF 2 elimination were proposed based on the identified byproducts and theoretical calculations. Furthermore, the demonstrated effectiveness in removing F-53B in various coexisting ions and water matrices highlighted the robust anti-interference ability of the treatment process. These findings provide mechanistic insights into the plasma degradation of F-53B, showcasing the potential of plasma processes for eliminating PFAS alternatives in water.

The phase compositions and microwave dielectric properties of Sn-deficient Ca 2 Sn 2 Al 2 O 9 ceramics in this study were explored. The CaSnO 3 and SnO 2 second phases existed at Ca 2 Sn 2- x Al 2 O 9-2 x ( x = 0) ceramic. Single-phase Ca 2 Sn 2 Al 2 O 9 ceramics were obtained at 0.08 ≤ x ≤ 0.1, and the orthorhombic structure with the Pbcn space group of Ca 2 Sn 2 Al 2 O 9 was verified. For multi-phase Ca 2 Sn 2- x Al 2 O 9-2 x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.06) ceramics, their microwave dielectric properties were mainly affected by second phase contents, and their Q × f values increased gradually with the rise in x . High Q × f (105,700 GHz at 12.99 GHz) was obtained by the Ca 2 Sn 2- x Al 2 O 9-2 x ( x = 0.08) ceramic with high intrinsic Q × f (175,000 GHz). The large deviation between measured Q × f values and fitted intrinsic Q × f values could be ascribed to the Sn 4+ vacancies of the Sn-deficient Ca 2 Sn 2 Al 2 O 9 ceramics. The Ca 2 Sn 2- x Al 2 O 9-2 x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1) ceramics presented large negative τ f values, and this τ f was mainly affected by τ ε . Meanwhile, the Ca 2 Sn 2- x Al 2 O 9-2 x ( x = 0.08) ceramic achieved optimal microwave dielectric properties ( ε r = 8.3, Q × f = 105,700 GHz at 12.99 GHz and τ f = −63.7 ppm/°C), indicating the good feature of this material for millimetre-wave applications.

In this work, Zn-Ni co-modified LiMg 0.9 Zn 0.1- x Ni x PO 4 ( x = 0–0.1) microwave dielectric ceramics were fabricated using a solid state synthesis route. Rietveld refinement of the XRD data revealed that all ceramic samples have formed a single phase with olivine structure. SEM images showed that the samples have a dense microstructure, that agrees with the measured relative density of 97.73 %. Based on the complex chemical bond theory, Raman and infrared reflectance spectra, we postulate that ε r is mainly affected by the ionic polarizability, lattice and bond energy, while P-O bond plays a decisive role in Q×f and τ f value. Optimum properties of Q×f ~ 153,500 GHz, ε r ~ 7.13 and τ f ~ −59 ppm/°C were achieved for the composition LiMg 0.9 Zn 0.06 Ni 0.04 PO 4 sintered at 875 ℃ for 2 h. This set of properties makes these ceramics an excellent candidate for LTCC , wave-guide filters and antennas for 5 G/6 G communication applications.

A sensitive nanocomplex probe prepared from fluorescent polydopamine nanoparticles (F-PDA) and cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) nanosheets was established for the determination of α-glucosidase activity. In this detection system, the fluorescence of F-PDA was firstly quenched by CoOOH nanosheets based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Subsequently, ascorbic acid was produced from 2-O-α- d -glucopyranosyl- l -ascorbic acid which was selectively hydrolyzed by α-glucosidase. CoOOH was reduced to Co 2+ by the released ascorbic acid, which resulted in the recovery of F-PDA nanoparticles fluorescence. In consequence, α-glucosidase activity was determined by the fluorescence recovery degree of the F-PDA nanoparticle. This fluorescent method showed a good linear relationship with the activity of α-glucosidase from 2 to 80 U L −1 and low detection limit of 1.65 U L −1 (S/N = 3). This fluorescence probe with high selectivity and sensitivity demonstrated a remarkable applicability in human serum samples and provided an alternative for α-glucosidase inhibitors screening in the discovery of anti-diabetes drugs.
