An ultrasensitive sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor was designed by using gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) as the substrate material and microporous carbon spheres (CS) loading silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) spaced Hemin/reduced graphene oxide (Hemin/rGO) porous composite materials (Ag NPs@CS-Hemin/rGO) as the detection antibodies (Ab 2 ) label for detecting carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The Au NPs with good electrical conductivity and biocompatibility could accelerate the electron transfer on the electrode interface and enhance the load capacity of capture antibodies (Ab 1 ). Hemin is peroxidase-like substance which has excellent catalytic ability for H 2 O 2 reduction but easy to molecular aggregation and oxidative self-destruction. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is a good supporting material for Hemin to mitigate this disadvantage. CS loading Ag NPs (Ag NPs@CS) as the spacer inserts into Hemin/rGO sheet can overcome the irreversible stacking of rGO, and form complex porous structure which exposes more active sites of Hemin. Moreover, Ag NPs loaded on CS also has catalytic ability for H 2 O 2 reduction. Thus the Ag NPs@CS-Hemin/rGO used as the Ab 2 label has a large working surface area and high utilization rate, which heightens the catalytic ability for H 2 O 2 reduction to amplify the current signal effectually. The current signal and the logarithm of CEA concentration presented a wide linear response range of 20 fg/mL to 200 ng/mL, and the detection limit of CEA was 6.7 fg/mL. Furthermore, the designed immunosensor exhibited a good reproducibility, selectivity and stability, which confirms a broad development prospect when applying it in early clinical detection.

The first tellurium(II) thiourea sulfate semiorganic nonlinear optical (NLO) material, Te(CS(NH2)2)4SO4·2H2O, was successfully obtained using the slow evaporation technique. The structure of this metal-free crystal featured three types of NLO-active units, namely CS(NH2)2, (SO4)2–, and (TeS4)6–, which synergistically contributed to its moderate second harmonic generation response (2.4 × KDP@1064 nm) and large birefringence (0.210@546.1 nm). Remarkably, this is the first example in which the quadrangular (TeS4)6– groups significantly contributed to the SHG effect and birefringence, and the first principles calculations revealed its special mechanism of NLO activity. These findings highlighted the exploration of semiorganic NLO materials and provide new opportunities for the discovery of new NLO crystals.

Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) of water is currently one of the most potential ‘green hydrogen’ production technology to alleviate the energy scarcity and environmental contamination. In this study, ultrafine platinum/nickel bimetallic nanoparticles loaded porous carbon nanocomposite, noted as PtNi/Cs, is facilely prepared by employing the precipitation polymerization of a poly (amic acid) (PAA), which shows superior catalytic performance toward HER. The synthesis of PAA is achieved via a stepwise polymerization of 4,6-diaminino-2-mercaptopyrimidine and pyromellitic dianhydride at room temperature , and the porous precursor is formed during the polymerization. Upon pyrolysis of the precursor in an inert atmosphere , carbon nanoaggregates with inherited porosity are fabricated. Ultrafine PtNi bimetallic nanoparticles with size of 3.3 ± 0.7 nm can be efficiently deposited, exhibiting an overpotential of 26.4 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and a mass activity of 2.92 A mg Pt −1 , superior than commercial Pt/C of 36.8 mV. The excellent HER performance can be attributed to the formation of ultrafine PtNi bimetallic nanoparticles and the electron transfer from PtNi to the nitrogen atoms on the carbon support.

Abstract Skin regeneration is a matter of high concern since many individuals suffer from skin damage. To date, the concept of protein-based artificial skin scaffolds have been successfully applied and proven in skin regeneration. However, realizing a skin tissue scaffold with a skin-like extracellular matrix (ECM) that combines low price, good biocompatibility, excellent antibacterial properties, good cell adhesion, and strong mechanical properties is still a major challenge. In this study, inexpensive silk sericin (SS) protein-based artificial skin nanofiber scaffolds (NFSs) with excellent biological activity, no immune rejection, and high mechanical strength were fabricated via microfluidic blow-spinning (MBS). In particular, the as-prepared NFS was transformed from a random coil structure to a \(\upbeta\) -sheet structure by using the MBS in high-speed shear chips to improve its stability and mechanical strength. Additionally, through in vitro and in vivo studies, it was shown that SS protein-based artificial skin NFSs possessed excellent antibacterial effects and degradability properties, as well as accelerated tissue granulation growth, effectively promoting full skin wound healing and skin regeneration for medical problems worldwide. Thus, this skin ECM-inspired NFS offers new perspectives for accelerating wound healing and tissue regeneration and provides potential applications for clinical medicine. Graphical abstract

High-performance electrode modification materials play a crucial role in improving the sensitivity of sensor detection in electrochemical determination of heavy metals. In this study, a rGO/MoS2/CS nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was used to construct a sensitive sensor for detecting lead ions in tobacco leaves. The reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was used to increase the conductivity of the sensor, and the nano-flowered MoS2 could provide a large reaction specific surface area and a certain active site for heavy metal reaction. Chitosan (CS) was used to improve the enrichment ability of heavy metals and increase the electrocatalytic activity of electrode. Thus, an electrochemical sensor with excellent performance in reproducibility, stability and anti-interference ability was established. The stripping behavior of Pb(II) and the application conditions of the sensor were studied by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV). The investigation indicated that the sensor exhibited high detection sensitivity in the range of 0.005–0.05–2.0 μM, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.0016 μM. This work can provide a fast and effective method for determination of Pb(II) in samples with low content, such as tobacco leaves.

A loose nanofiltration (NF) membrane for dye desalination was prepared by ionic crosslinking assisted layer-by-layer self-assembly method. The natural chitosan (CS) and sodium alginate (NaAlg) were used as the cationic and anionic polyelectrolytes, respectively. CaCl 2 was used as the ionic crosslinker based on the chelating ability of NaAlg and CS to Ca 2+ ions. The structures, morphologies and surface charge properties of the assembly layers were characterized. In addition, the effects of self-assembly conditions and operation conditions on the filtration performances of composite membranes were evaluated systematically. The results indicate that the dye rejection of assembled membrane increases due to the crosslinking of Ca 2+ ions. The resultant HPAN-(CS/NaAlg) 3 membrane shows high rejections to dyes (98.8% for Congo red, 98.9% for Coomassie brilliant blue G-250, 98.5% for Direct black 38) and low rejections to inorganic salts. Moreover, HPAN-(CS/NaAlg) 3 membrane exhibits high permeate flux (54.8 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 ), good stability in continuous filtration and antifouling property.

Inorganic perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have attracted extensive attention from researchers in recent years, because of their good prospects in micro-LED for next generation lighting and display. However, the research on high quality and stable inorganic perovskite blue QDs is relatively backward, which limits its further applications in micro-LED. In the present work, crystalline silicotitanate (CST) is used as matrix and synthesized by hydrothermal method , then, Cs + ion replaces Na + ion in the tunnel in c-axis dimension of CST matrix by ion exchange, and finally, the CsPbBr 3 QDs are in situ anchored on the Cs + ion in the tunnel. The sizes of the as prepared CsPbBr 3 QDs are determined to be mostly less than 4 nm, which guarantees the as prepared CST: CsPbBr 3 QDs to have a brilliant blue emission peak at 463 nm with a narrow FWHM of less than 20 nm, and it can be excited by a broad n-UV light range from 300 to 400 nm and peak at 365 nm. A photoluminescent quantum yield of 88.34% is achieved. Furthermore, the as prepared CST: CsPbBr 3 QDs is demonstrated to have a good air and thermal stability with an average PL lifetime of 112.00 ns? The color gamut of CST: CsPbBr 3 QDS together with the commercial green (Sr, Ba) 2 SiO 4 : Eu 2+ and red (Sr, Ca)AlSiN 3 : Eu 2+ phosphors is calculated to be 114.12% of the NTSC standard. Therefore, the present pure blue CST: CsPbBr 3 QDs can be a potential backlight source for display devices.

Synthesis of methyl methacrylate (MMA) by aldol condensation of methyl propionate (MP) with formaldehyde (FA) has received researchers’ attention in recent years. Herein, a kind of acid-base bi-functional Cs/Ti-SiO 2 was developed for the conversion of MP and FA to MMA. A series of Cs/Ti-SiO 2 samples with different acid-base properties were prepared by changing the loading amount of Cs and Ti elements and characterized using XRD, BET, FT-IR, DR UV–vis, SEM, TEM, XPS, CO 2 /NH 3 -TPD, O 2 -TPO, py-IR, and TGA. The introduction of Ti species could significantly regulate the acidity and affect the surface structure of catalyst, facilitating the activation of reactants and aldol reaction effectively. The relationship between the acid-base properties and catalytic activity was correlated, which revealed the crucial role of weak and medium acid sites in this transformative process. The production of MMA was optimized by using response surface methodology (RSM) based on the Box-Behnken design (BBD) approach. As a result, 62.8 % yield of MMA with selectivity of 75.6 % could be achieved at optimal reaction conditions. The catalyst would suffer deactivation from carbon deposition, which could be easily regenerated by simple thermal treatment without any decrease in initial activity during 600 h time-on-stream. Kinetic studies unraveled the activation energy of aldol condensation was 112.2 kJ/mol.

The wastewater generated by nuclear power plants contains a large number of radioactive substances, including 134 Cs and 137 Cs, which pose significant threats to human health and the environment. It is crucial to remove these radioactive substances from the nuclear waste . A significant challenge we encounter is the effective and selective extraction of cesium ions from wastewater. The wastewater is typically rich in competition ions and spans a wide pH range. In this report, we report a novel manganese silicate/MoS 2 composite material with high adsorption capacity for selectively removing Cs + from aqueous solutions with competition ions. Adsorption behaviors of cesium ions were investigated for composite ratio, adsorbent dosage, contact time, pH and competitive cations. Optimal conditions for the adsorption of cesium ions from aqueous solutions were achieved using a composite ratio of manganese silicate to MoS 2 at 9:1, an adsorbent concentration of 1.0 g L −1 , and a pH of 8 for a duration of 1 h. While the impact of K + and Na + is minimal at lower concentrations, it becomes more pronounced with increasing concentrations. The composite material demonstrates effective performance over the pH range of 2.0–12.0. Experimental data fitted with the pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm model suggests a single-layer chemical adsorption process , resulting in a remarkable adsorption capacity of 78.99 mg g −1 . Microscopic analysis reveals the synergistic effect of manganese silicate and MoS 2 . The manganese silicate provides efficient active sites for selective Cs + adsorption, while MoS 2 allows the highly dispersed surface for manganese silicate. This work reveals new insights into the design and synthesis of high-performance Cs + adsorption materials for application in the treatment of nuclear wastewater.

Developing of the multifunctional polymeric carrier for controlled drug release is still one of most challenging task. In this work, a pH-responsive dual drug delivery system was designed and prepared based on the zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). The poly(lactic acid)/chitosan (PLA/CS) core-shell nanofiber membranes by emulsion electrospinning, which the hydrophilic drug (Astragalus Polysacharin, APS) was encapsulated in the CS core and the hydrophobic drug (Camptothecin, CPT) was loaded into the PLA shell, respectively. Subsequently, ZIF-8 nanoparticles served as the protective layer were immobilized on the surface of PLA/CS to form multi-structural PLA/CS@ZIF-8 nanofiber membranes. In vitro drug release of nanofiber membranes were studied in the acidic and neutral medium, respectively. The results were that the hydrophilicity and surface roughness of nanofiber membranes rose with increasing of 2-MIM concentrations. The nanofiber membranes also had excellent pH-responsive and controlled release property. Furthermore, the drug release of PLA/CS@ZIF-8 for either APS or CPT were all carried out in a coexisting manner of diffusion and skeleton corrosion. In addition, in vitro cytotoxicity assay indicated nanofiber membranes with good cytocompatibility. Therefore, the multi-structured PLA/CS@ZIF-8 nanofiber membranes has been used as a potential pH-responsive dual drug release system.

In this study, an electrochemical immunosensor was constructed to detect the cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA 21-1) in human serum. CYFRA 21-1 is the most sensitive tumor marker of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), its content in normal human serum should be less than 3.3 ng/mL. When lung cancer cells dissolve or die, a myriad of CYFRA 21-1 is released into a tumor patient’s blood circulation , and its serum content elevates strikingly. Consequently, detecting CYFRA 21-1 by an electrochemical biosensor is expected to provide a new method for the early detection and prevention of lung cancer. In this study, a composite of UiO-66-NH 2 and carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CMWCNTs) was used as the substrate material of a sensor; the resulting sensor had a large specific surface area and strong electrical conductivity . Moreover, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were used to bind to antibodies through an Au-S bonds. Also, a supersensitive detection of CYFRA 21-1 was achieved through the specific bindings of antigens and antibodies. Under optimal detection conditions, the change of current signal intensity of the immunosensor was proportional to the logarithm of CYFRA 21-1 concentration and had a linear relation in the range of 0.005–400 ng/mL, while the detection limit was 1.15 pg/mL (S/N = 3). The proposed immunosensor had high precision, stability, and selectivity . More importantly, the sensor was been successfully applied to detect CYFRA 21-1 in human serum with high recovery, providing a new method for early screening and dynamic monitoring of lung cancer.

The use of low-cost working electrodes is of great importance for the development of sensor industrialization. Acupuncture needles electrode (ANE) was selected as working microelectrode, a sensor was designed based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT: PSS) and chitosan (CS) modified covalent organic frameworks (COFs) (CS/COFs) for detection of cadmium (Cd(II)). First, a mixture of PEDOT and PSS was electrodeposited on the surface of the acupuncture needles to synthesize a PEDOT: PSS as conductive polymeric film to support the electron transfer capability and enhance the conductive efficiency of the sensor. Then, CS/COFs was self-assembled and attached to the PEDOT: PSS/ANE surface by π-π stacking intermolecular interaction forces and the viscosity of CS, thus increasing the specific surface area of the electrode. Differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) was used as the electrochemical method for detection of Cd(II). And the results indicated that the CS/COFs/PEDOT: PSS/ANE was linearly responsive in the range of 400 μg/L to 2400 μg/L, and the LOD was 13.8 ng/L for Cd(II). The constructed sensor also showed great selectivity, reproducibility, and stability. Additionally, the sensor demonstrated outstanding recovery in the detection of Cd(II) in real sample scallops. This sensing construction method based on acupuncture needles as working electrodes is of great significance to the development of sensor industrialization and aquatic product safety detection.
