Mosquitoes are well-known vectors of malaria, dengue fever, chikungunya, yellow fever, Zika and many other diseases, and have become a great threat to public health. Nowadays, chemical insecticides are widely used for the control of mosquitoes. However, their widespread use has created some serious problems, such as insecticide resistance , environmental pollution, and toxicity to human beings. With the objectives to develop novel botanical and eco-friendly insecticides for mosquitoes, in this study we examined the chemical compositions of the essential oils (EOs) from different aging years of Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae (PCR, Guangchenpi in Chinese), and investigated their anti-mosquito activity in details. As a result, 39, 44, 48, and 40 main components were identified from the 1-, 5-, 10-, and 15-year PCR EOs, respectively. For each PCR EO, D-limonene (47.90–56.39%) and γ -terpinene (14.98–17.03%) were the major components. These PCR EOs showed potent larvicidal activity against Aedes albopictus ( A. albopictus ) larvae (LC 50 = 54.50–68.23 ppm ppm), and some of the major components were also very active, including D-limonene (LC 50 = 56.17 ppm), γ -terpinene (LC 50 = 64.28 ppm), β -myrcene (LC 50 = 54.51 ppm) and terpinolene (LC 50 = 57.69 ppm). These PCR EOs exhibited similar larvicidal activity, and their insecticidal activity may be attributed to the major constituents such as D-limonene, γ -terpinene and terpinolene. In addition, thymol was found more effective against A. albopictus adults (LC 50 = 96.82 ppm) than the other components, such as methyl 2-(methylamino) benzoate (LC 50 = 382.10 ppm) and α -terpineol (LC 50 = 507.54 ppm), and this compound could be one of the active components responsible for the adulticidal activity. Enzyme inhibition assays suggested that the activity of acetylcholinesterase , mixed function oxidase and esterase were significantly inhibited, which may result in the mortality of A. albopictus larvae. The present findings clearly demonstrated that naturally-occurring PCR EOs and the functional components display potent insecticidal activity against A. albopictus larvae and adults, and therefore, strongly suggest that PCR EOs and the main components are exploitable as botanical insecticides for the control of mosquitoes.

A novel amperometric biosensor based on immobilizing acetylcholinesterase on 3-carboxyphenylboronic/reduced graphene oxide–gold nanocomposites modified electrode was developed for the detection of organophosphorus and carbamate pesticides . Acetylcholinesterase was successfully immobilized on the electrode with relatively high activity by the specific binding between the boronic acid group of 3-carboxyphenylboronic and the glycosyl of acetylcholinesterase. The biosensor enjoyed good sensitivity owing to the excellent properties of gold nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide , which promoted electron transfer reaction and enhanced the electrochemical response. Parameters affecting the biosensor response such as pH, applied potential, enzyme loading and inhibition time were optimized. Based on the inhibition of an organophosphorus insecticide on the enzymatic activity of AChE, organophosphorus and carbamate pesticides were determined with satisfactory results in the presence of acetylthiocholine chloride as a substrate. Moreover, the fabricated biosensor had good repeatability and high stability.

Photodynamic antibacterial composite membranes were engineered by integrating photosensitizer/antibacterial agent, into the polyurethane adhesive blend and coating the blend on co-electrospinning cellulose acetate(CA)/thermoplastic polyurethanes(TPU) composite membrane support for enhanced antibacterial performance. The central composite design (CCD) method based on the response surface method (RSM) was used for analysis to illustrate the influence of important variables. The optimized parameters of CCD were TPU (wt%) 22.64%, CA (wt%) 18.63, DMAC/acetone volume ratio 0.85, LiCl (wt%) 0.95%, voltage (kV) 23.33 kV. Fiber diameter was the key response process output variable. The membranes were characterized by SEM, XPS, and molecular structure analyses. The model had excellent applicability as a tool to realize the average diameter of the CA/TPU bicomponent electrospun membrane. Results showed that after coating, the synergistic effects of photodynamic antibacterial and antibacterial agent performance on the Antibacterial composite membrane were achieved under ordinary daylight irradiation. The sterilization rate of S. aureus and E. coli could achieve excellence at 99.2% and 93.4%, respectively. This method of preparing photodynamic antibacterial composite film provides a new direction for the design of medical antibacterial protective materials.

Firstly, cerium dioxide(CeO 2 ) was modified by 3-(Methylacryloxyl)propyltrimethoxy silane (KH-570), and modified CeO 2 (mCeO 2 ) was prepared. Then poly (urethane-acrylate) was modified by mCeO 2 , and poly (urethane-acrylate)/modified CeO 2 (PUA/mCeO 2 ) composites with ultraviolet absorption property were prepared. The morphology, thermal hydrophobicity, mechanical properties, optical properties, and UV-absorption properties of PUA/mCeO 2 composites were studied. XRD and SEM analysis showed that the modified CeO 2 had better dispersion in the matrix than that of pure CeO 2 . Ultraviolet–visible spectrum and thermogravimetric analysis were used to characterize the optical properties and thermal stability of PUA/mCeO 2 composites. The results showed that with the increasing of the mCeO 2 content, the UV-absorption property of PUA/mCeO 2 composites was improved gradually. When the content of mCeO 2 is 3%, the absorption of ultraviolet of PUA/mCeO2 composites is about 5 times of pure PUA film, and the absorption band is mainly in the UVA section. The thermal stability of PUA/mCeO 2 composites was improved with the adding of mCeO 2 . With the increasing of mCeO 2 content, the contact angle of PUA/mCeO 2 composites increased significantly. And the UV-absorption mechanism of PUA/mCeO 2 Composites was studied. UV-curable PUA/mCeO 2 composites have good UV absorption property and water resistance. They will be used in the sun screen and protect people's skin.

Ferrocene (Fc)-based polymers have promising application in burning rate catalysts (BRCs) for solid composite propellants, and some of them have already been practically used. However, they have some drawbacks such as high migration during a long-time storage. Copolymers of poly(2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl ferrocene carboxylate- co -glycidyl methacrylic acid)s (P(FHEMA -co- GMA)s) were synthesized to overcome the migration problem of Fc-based BRCs as well as to boost the burning rate (BR) of ammonium perchlorate (AP)-based propellants. The structures of the obtained P(FHEMA -co- GMA)s were confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) method was used to study their electrochemical behavior, and the P(FHEMA -co- GMA)s showed redox behavior for the existence of the Fc units. Because of the formation of integrated network structures, the P(FHEMA -co- GMA)s have good anti-migration performances. The BR catalytic property of P(FHEMA -co- GMA)s were investigated by thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermogravimetry (DTG). They showed competent catalytic effects on the thermal decomposition of AP.

Asymmetric electrocatalysis is poised to provide a unique avenue for access to enantioenriched molecules that are difficult to obtain through more conventional approaches, but the development of efficient electrocatalysts capable of highly enantioselective transformations remains elusive. Towards this enviable end, bifunctional electrocatalyst capable of both redox mediation and delivery of high stereocontrol is needed. Here we disclose a novel TEMPO-BOX-ligated copper electrocatalyst that enables oxidative kinetic resolution of racemic 1,4-diols, affording diverse chiral 1,4-diols and γ-lactones with good or excellent chemo-, regio, and enantioselectivity. We also show that this cooperative Cu/TEMPO-BOX catalytic strategy is applicable to the electro-oxidative kinetic resolution of 1,2- and 1,3-amino alcohols. This work demonstrates the potential of bifunctional electrocatalysis for asymmetric synthetic methods and we anticipate that it will spur the development of new hybrid electrocatalysts to realize novel asymmetric electrocatalytic methods.

Graphical Photoenzymatic combinations : Cyclohexane was oxy-functionalised to ϵ -caprolactone directly through a cascade reaction sequence combining visible-light-driven photocatalysis with whole-cell biocatalysis. Two photocatalysts, Au-doped TiO 2 and graphitic carbonitride, were used in the reaction. After expression of cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO) in E. coli , the whole cells were used as biocatalyst. Cyclohexane was directly oxy-functionalised to ϵ-caprolactone through a cascade reaction sequence combining visible-light-driven photocatalysis with cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO) whole-cell biocatalysis. Two available photocatalysts, Au-doped TiO 2 (Au-TiO 2 ) and graphitic carbonitride (g-C 3 N 4 ), were evaluated in the experiment and some optimisations to the cascade reaction were applied. In stepwise mode, the highest degree of conversion from cyclohexanol to ϵ-caprolactone can be up to 41 %, with use of g-C 3 N 4 . The cascade reaction from cyclohexane to ϵ-caprolactone is achievable under a light intensity of 149 μW cm −2 .

Although an acceleration of male pubertal development has been observed, precisely which endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) might contribute to the advancing onset of puberty in boys remains unclear. Here, pyrethroids, a class of widely used insecticides that have been considered as EDCs, are proposed as new environmental risk factors. In this study, 463 boys at the age of 9–16 years old were recruited in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. The common metabolites of pyrethroids, 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA), and 4-fluoro-3-phenoxybenzoic acid (4-F-3-PBA), as well as gonadotropins, including luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), were analyzed in urine samples. Pubertal development was assessed based on Tanner stages and testicular volume (TV). A positive association between 3-PBA and gonadotropins was found (p < 0.001), in which a 10% increase in 3-PBA was associated with a 2.4% and 2.9% increase in LH and FSH, respectively. Higher urinary levels of 3-PBA in boys were associated with 275% and 280% increase in the risk of being genitalia stage 3 (G3) and G4, respectively (p < 0.05). There was a significant (132%) induction in odd of being TV 12–19 mL with increasing 3-PBA concentration compared to being in TV < 4 mL (p < 0.05). For the first time to our knowledge, this work reports on an association of increased pyrethroid exposure with elevated gonadotropins levels and earlier pubertal development in boys.

Currently, solvent-based absorption is known as an effective technology to capture acid gases, e.g., CO 2 or H 2 S. In this work, the constant-volume method is used to determine CO 2 and H 2 S solubility in propylene carbonate (PC), imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs): 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [Bmim][BF 4 ], 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [Hmim][BF 4 ], and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [Omim][BF 4 ], and their mixtures at temperature from 303.15 to 333.15 K under pressures up to about 1 MPa. Besides, the quantum chemistry-based COSMO-RS models are used to predict the vapor pressure and the solubility in these solvents. The experimental results illustrate that adding [Omim][BF 4 ] into PC can improve the CO 2 and H 2 S solubility and the H 2 S/CO 2 selectivity compared with the pure PC, which increases with the increasing [Omim][BF 4 ] mass fraction in the mixtures. The simulation with COSMO-RS shows the vapor pressures of PC in the mixtures decreases with the increasing [Omim][BF 4 ] mass fraction. Moreover, the prediction results show that COSMO-RS-Lei model is in much better agreement than COSMO-RS (ADF 2005) for predicting both CO 2 and H 2 S solubility and the prediction accuracy of CO 2 is better than that of H 2 S. Finally, the mixtures of PC and [Omim][BF 4 ] may be used as promising physical solvents to capture CO 2 and H 2 S selectively with high partial pressures because they connect the advantages of organic solvents and ILs.

Hymexazol is an efficient and low-toxicity soil fungicide. In this work, a fully continuous flow process for the synthesis of hymexazol has been developed. This process begins with combining ethyl acetoacetate and hydroxylamine hydrochloride to form a hydroxamic acid intermediate. The reaction solution is then quenched with concentrated hydrochloric acid to obtain the final product, hymexazol. Under the optimized process conditions, the total yield of the target product reached 86%. In addition, production was successfully scaled-up to a kilogram scale. The continuous flow method not only greatly decreases the reaction time but also significantly inhibits the side reactions.

A phosphorous flame retardant of phosphoric acid , P , P ′-1,4-phenylene P , P , P ′, P ′-tetraphenyl ester (PAPTE) was synthesized by diphenyl chlorophosphate and hydroquinone . The structural features of PAPTE were investigated with mass spectra (MS), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) methods. The thermal behavior of PAPTE was analyzed with differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) instruments. A static analytic method was used to measure the solubilities of PAPTE in the several selected pure solvents, which are methanol, ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate , acetonitrile , methyl acetate , toluene, ether, n -propanol, i -propanol, where the temperatures range is from 288.25 to 333.45 K. The experiments were also performed in the binary mixed solvents of acetone and methanol. Several thermodynamic models were used to correlate the experimental solubility data, such as Wilson, nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL), UNIQUAC equations. The solubility data of PAPTE in binary solvents were correlated with the modified Wilson model. The calculated results showed that those models can excellently reproduce the experimental data and the UNIQUAC equation reveals the better ability in correlation. Using the Scatchard–Hildebrand methodology, the activity coefficients, solubility parameter of the solute and the partial molar excess enthalpies at infinite dilution were calculated.
