Urged by the increasing power density of electronics, efficient heat dissipation by graphene-embedded polymer composites with high thermal conductivity ( λ ) has become a growing demand for addressing overheating issues. However, it is still challenging to achieve a λ over 20 W m −1 K −1 below 20 wt% loading. Herein, we report a highly thermally conductive polymer composite based on self-assembled construction of horizontally aligned graphene/silver ( f -GE/Ag) heterostructure, which is fabricated by in-situ deposition of ultra-small Ag nanoparticles on functionalized graphene followed by stress-induced orientation process, consequently achieving efficient heat-transfer pathways with low interfacial thermal barriers. The resultant f -GE/Ag contributes to the composite with a high λ of 25.22 W m −1 K −1 at 15 wt% loading, giving an ultra-high λ enhancement over 12500 %. Additionally, the thermal management application of composites as thermal interface materials integrated with power LEDs is demonstrated. The finding raises the possibility for practical application of high-performance polymer composites in the thermal management of electronics.

A new microreactor with continuous serially connected micromixers (CSCM) was tailored for the coprecipitation process to synthesize Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles. Numerical simulation reveals that the two types of CSCM microchannels (V-typed and U-typed) proposed in this work exhibited markedly better mixing performances than the Zigzag and capillary microchannels due to the promotion of Dean vortices. Complete mixing was achieved in the V-typed microchannel in 2.7 s at an inlet Reynolds number of 27. Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles synthesized in a planar glass microreactor with the V-typed microchannel, possessing an average size of 9.3 nm and exhibiting superparamagnetism, had obviously better dispersity and uniformity and higher crystallinity than those obtained in the capillary microreactor. The new CSCM microreactor developed in this work can act as a potent device to intensify the synthesis of similar inorganic nanoparticles via multistep chemical precipitation processes.

An original strategy was reported to manipulate ORR selectivity of N-doped hollow mesoporous carbon spheres (N-HMCS) via heteroatom (P and S) doping. Heteroatom doping can not only modulate electronic structure of N-HMCS and proportion/configuration of doped N, but also regulate ORR pathway. Specifically, rich-graphitic N sites and electron-rich C–P bond domains in N,P-HMCS act as electron donors, making *OOH more unstable and easier to desorb into H 2 O 2 . This severely distorts the sp 2 lattice of graphene, catalyzing a two-electron ORR synergistically. Conversely, a strong interaction between electron-deficient C–S bond domain and *OOH intermediate due to the introduction of highly electronegative S hinders the desorption of *OOH, leading to the breakage of the O–O bond and promoting four-electron ORR along with the rich-pyridinic N receptor site. The reaction activity and kinetics mechanism present a positive correlation with proportion of graphitic N, revealing graphitic N is the primary active site with a much faster electron transfer capacity.

Enhanced imaging techniques using contrast agents enable high-resolution structural imaging to reveal space-occupying lesions but rarely provide detailed molecular information. To this end, we report a structural and molecular fusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) nanoprobe for differential diagnosis between benign and malignant tumors. This fusion nanoprobe, termed FFT NPs, follows a working mechanism involving a T1-/T2-weighted magnetic resonance tuning effect (MRET) between a magnetic Fe3O4 core and a paramagnetic Fe-tannic acid (Fe-TA) shell. The FFT NPs with an “always-on” inert T2 signal provide structural MRI (sMRI) contrast of tumors while affording an activated T1 signal in the presence of ATP, which is overproduced during the rapid growth of malignant tumors to enable molecular MRI (mMRI) of tumor lesions. We propose the use of the ratiometric mMRI:sMRI intensity to assist in the differential diagnosis of malignant 4T1 tumors from benign L929 fibroblast tumors. Furthermore, the dissociated FFT NPs were found to be able to catalyze H2O2 conversion in 4T1 tumors to generate excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) for chemodynamic therapy. The described fusion nanoprobe strategy enables the differential diagnosis of tumors from a combined spatial and molecular perspective with one-stop MRI imaging with potential applications in precision intervention.

Crataegus pinnatifida is a common food in China, Europe and North America. In order to confirm polysaccharide was the material basis for C. pinnatifida to exert immune regulation. A polysaccharide (CPP) with a molecular weight of 13.58 kDa was isolated from C. pinnatifida . The structure of CPP was determined to be a backbone composed of → 3,5)-α- l -Ara f -(1→, with two branches consisting of → 4)-α- d -Gal p -(1 → and → 5)-α- l -Ara f -(1→, with α- l -Ara f and α- d -Man p as the terminal unit. CPP (10 ∼ 500 μg/mL) could promote the secretion of nitric oxide, interleukin-2, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α in vitro . CPP could significantly restore the body weight of immunosuppressive mice and improve the immune organ index and interleukin-2, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α secretion. In addition, CPP increased the abundance of Bacteroidetes and Verrucomicrobia and decreased the abundance of Proteobacteria at the phylum level. So CPP can regulate the gut microbiota and play an important role in immune regulation.

Efficient removal of arsenic (As) and lead (Pb) from industrial wastewater has long been a critical environmental issue due to their serious risk to human health. Therefore, in this work, a modified banana peel biochar (MBPB) was prepared by mixing calcium nitrate , diammonium hydrogen phosphate , sulfuric acid, ferric nitrate with dehydrated banana peel biochar as adsorbent for As(V) and Pb(II) removal in wastewater, and their absorption mechanism was investigated. SEM-EDS, TEM, FTIR , XRD , XPS , BET, kinetic, and isothermal characteristics of MBPB and pristine banana peel biochar (PBPB) were conducted. The behavior of both metal ions on MBPB and PBPB was well explained by the pseudo-second-order kinetic with Langmuir and Freundlich models. We found that the two biochar’s behaviors were mixture processes of monolayer and multilayer adsorption , achieving maximum capacities as determined by the Langmuir model of 39.5 mg g −1 (MBPB-As), 33.2 mg g −1 (MBPB-Pb), 30.8 mg g −1 (PBPB-Pb), and 23.5 mg g −1 (PBPB-As), with maximum efficiencies of 98.7% (MBPB-As) and 90.3% (MBPB-Pb) under optimum conditions. Thermodynamic tests showed that As(V) and Pb(II) removal on MBPB was a spontaneous and endothermic physisorption process. MBPB showed great reusability in As(V) and Pb(II) removal, with removal rates as high as 71.4% and 66.5% after five cycles, respectively. Selective adsorption of As(V) and Pb(II) was also investigated on MBPB, and the removal rate was still high in the mixture of heavy metals. These findings provide a feasible method for the environmental-benign utilization of banana peel as a low-priced adsorbent in wastewater treatment .

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), conjugating the advantages of flexible processing-ability of polymers and high-speed mass transfer of porous fillers, are recognized as the next-generation high-performance CO 2 capture membranes for solving the current global climate challenge. However, controlling the crystallization of porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and thus the close stacking of MOF nanocrystals in the confined polymer matrix is still undoable, which thus cannot fully utilize the superior transport attribute of MOF channels. In this study, the “confined swelling coupled solvent-controlled crystallization” strategy is employed for well-tailoring the in-situ crystallization of MOF nanocrystals, realizing rapid (<5 min) construction of defect-free freeway channels for CO 2 transportation in MMMs due to the close stacking of MOF nanocrystals. Consequently, the fabricated MMMs exhibit approximately fourfold enhancement in CO 2 permeability, i.e., 2490 Barrer with a CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 37, distinctive antiplasticization merit, as well as long-term running stability, which is at top-tier level, enabling the large-scale manufacture of high-performance MMMs for gas separation.

Owing to residual tumor tissues around the treatment margins, it is difficult to totally ablate large tumors, eliminate disseminated and metastatic nodules as well as prevent the tumor recurrence simultaneously by conventional photothermal therapy (PTT). In this work, PTT combined reactive oxygen species oxidative therapy (ROT) was conducted via mesoporous polydopamine nanosphere with nanoceria doping (MPDA-Ce). After surface anchoring with Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) molecules, the dispersive stability and tumor targeting of this innovative nanoplatform were substantially boosted. In vitro studies revealed that the unique nanotherapeutics had satisfactory photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 51.41%), continuous nanoceria release in cytoplasm of tumor cells after acid microenvironment (pH = 5.5) induced biodegradation. Significantly, hyperthermia amplified the abundant reactive oxygen species generation under 808 nm laser irradiation that potent ROT was realized with only 27.1% cells alive. Strikingly, Indocyanine green (ICG) loaded MPDA-Ce with RGD modification shows robust tumor targeting capability in breast carcinoma bearing Balb/C mice under fluorescent imaging in the second near-infrared window. The combined treatments resulted in complete tumor cells eradication under 808 nm laser illumination both in vitro and in vivo . This work highlights the promising application of MPDA-Ce as a powerful nanoplatform for ROT and PTT combined treatment in clinical.

Flexible perovskite solar cells (f-PSCs) show great promise in portable-power applications (e.g., chargers, drones) and low-cost, scalable productions (e.g., roll-to-roll). However, in conventional n–i–p architecture f-PSCs, the low-temperature processed metal oxide electron transport layers (ETLs) usually suffer from high resistance and severe defects that limit the power conversion efficiency (PCE) improvement of f-PSCs. Besides the enhancement in the mobility of metal oxide and passivation for perovskite/ETL interfacial defects reported in previous literature, herein, the electron transport loss between the metal oxide nanocrystallines within the ETL is studied by introducing an amorphous F-doped TiO x (F-TiO x ) caulked crystalline SnO 2 composite ETL. The F-TiO x in this novel composite ETL acts as an interstitial medium between adjacent SnO 2 nanocrystallines, which can provide more electron transport channels, effectively passivate oxygen vacancies, and optimize the energy level arrangement, thus significantly enhancing the electron mobility of ETL and reducing the charge transport losses. The composite ETL-based f-PSCs achieve a high PCE of 22.70% and good operational stability. Furthermore, a moderate roughness of the composite ETL endows f-PSCs with superior mechanical reliability by virtue of a strong coupling at the ETL/perovskite interface, by which the f-PSCs can maintain 82.11% of their initial PCE after 4000 bending cycles.

The development of anthraquinone (AQ) hydrogenation catalysts with high activity and selectivity remains a challenge, but it is critical in industrial applications from both economic and environmental perspectives. In this work, an amine-modified catalyst, i.e., Pd/A/SiO 2 , was designed and synthesized via grafting 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) onto silica support and then loading Pd via the Shiff-base reaction. Multiple techniques were used to thoroughly characterize and analyze the catalysts' structural and electronic properties, such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), H 2 temperature-programmed reduction (H 2 -TPR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), etc. The Pd particle size (3.86 nm) in Pd/A/SiO 2 was found to be very close to the reported optimal value, which balances well between the number of active sites and the required size for AQ adsorption; also, the residual carbon species from APTMS improves the hydrophobic properties of the support, which benefits AQ adsorption and anthrahydroquinone (AQH 2 ) desorption; and furthermore, the electron transferred from N to Pd increases the electron density of the latter, favoring the activation of the C O bond in AQ. These factors combine to give a very superior performance of Pd/A/SiO 2 for AQ hydrogenation, including a hydrogenation efficiency as high as 15.7 g/L with an intriguing selectivity of 96.1 %, and a good reusability merit within a six-run test, all of which are among the best results reported so far. This work, we believe, provides food for thought in the development of a highly efficient catalyst for AQ hydrogenation.

In this work, a luminescent lanthanide complex, namely, Eu(tta) 3 phen (Eu = europium , tta = 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone, phen = 1, 10-phenanthroline) is used as a luminescent dopant to prepare fluorescent nanofiber films. The resulting nanofibers (CS/PEO-SiO 2 @Eu(tta) 3 phen) are composed of chitosan and polyethylene oxide containing silica nanoparticles , encapsulating the Eu(tta) 3 phen. The nanofibers are stabilized by treatment with sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3 ) aqueous solution as neutralizer and then repeatedly washed with deionized water. A more stable Na-CS/PEO-SiO 2 @Eu(tta) 3 phen fiber film is obtained as a fluorescence sensor for Cu 2+ ions. The Na-CS/PEO-SiO 2 @Eu(tta) 3 phen has high sensitivity, and a wide detection range. The response is linear in the concentration range from 10 to 90 μmol/L, and the detection limit is 0.826 μmol/L. In addition, Na-CS/PEO-SiO 2 @Eu(tta) 3 phen nanofiber film can be used as a recyclable sensor for the detection of Cu 2+ ions in aqueous solution due to its good recyclability, selectivity and rapid optical response.

Distinct from the traditional synthesis of NiCo 2 O 4 nanoflowers from hydrothermal approach. Herein a facile gas-liquid diffusion method was exploited to prepare NiCo 2 O 4 and Fe-doped NiCo 2 O 4 nanoflower under ambient condition for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The remarkable nanoflowers was generated by diffusing ammonia to the homogeneous solution of cobalt and nickel sulfate salt with slight amount of Fe sulfate salt to form a heterogeneous precipitation, followed by pyrolysis to afford the final product of NiCo 2 O 4 or Fe-doped NiCo 2 O 4 . The remarkable feature of NiCo 2 O 4 displays a spherical nanoflower morphology composed of lamellar structure with excellent dispersibility and greatly prompt the electron transfer and enable a high activity. By varying the ratio of Ni to Fe to 9:1, a superior OER performance with overpotential of 256 mV and Tafel slope of 69 mV·dec −1 at 10 mA·cm −2 was obtained. We attribute the superior performance to the excellent gas and ion transport channels due to the unique nanoflower structure as well as the well optimized electronic structure derived from Fe doping. Besides, we tentatively propose a detailed formation process for the formation of this nanoflower structure based on co-precipitation reaction. In conclusion, this approach offers a facile and efficient way for the preparation of high-performance ternary mixed metal oxides nanostructure which enable its large-scale production of OER catalyst.
