Inorganic scintillation crystals have been widely used in applications of high-energy physics, nuclear medical imaging, industrial nondestructive inspection, etc. In this work, a single crystal Ba3Y(PO4)3(BYP) with 1.0 at% Ce3+-doping concentration was first grown by the Czochralski method, and the electronic structure was calculated using first principles based on density functional theory. In addition, a series of Ce3+-doped BYP phosphors were synthesized, and the fluorescence emission under UV excitation was measured through low-temperature spectroscopy, containing double-peaked emission from 5d–4f transition and self-trapped exciton recombination. A comparison of the UV and X-ray-excited fluorescence spectra reveals the existence of oxygen vacancies as well as F+ centers in the crystal. The air annealing of the crystal effectively reduces the thermoluminescence defects but reduces the emission intensity under UV or X-ray excitation. The BYP:Ce crystal shows a fast decay lifetime of 15.5 ns, and the fast component is as short as 8 ns. The results show that the Ce3+-doped BYP crystal has potential as a kind of scintillator with fast decay properties.

A simple method for selective recognition of 3-chlorophenol (3-CP) from aqueous solution has been developed using a surface molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as sorbent. Characterization of the obtained MIP was achieved by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Kinetic, thermodynamic, dynamic adsorption, and selectivity experiments were investigated in this study. Kinetic experimental data were well-described by the pseudosecond-order kinetic model. The obtained Arrhenius activation energy Ea from the kinetic data indicated a physisorption mechanism, and the negative values of ΔHo demonstrated that the adsorption of 3-CP onto MIP was exothermic. Equilibrium experimental data of MIP fitted the Langmuir isotherm well. The MIP showed outstanding affinity toward 3-CP in aqueous solution, and the optimum pH value for binding has been found around the neutral range. When methanol was used as eluent, the adsorbed 3-CP eluted easily from MIP. The total dynamic capacity of the imprinted sorbent was calculated to be 1137.58 mg·g–1. The breakthrough of 3-CP started after 60 mL, and the breakthrough capacity was 756.8 mg·g–1. Meanwhile, selectivity experiments demonstrated that MIP showed high affinity to target molecules over competitive CPs (2,6-dichlorophenol and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol).

The oxidative chemical polymerization of 3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) was conducted at room temperature in the presence of poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) as the doping agent, sodium supersulphate (Na 2 S 2 O 8 ) and ferric sulphate(Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 ) as the compound oxidant and deionized water as the solvent. In order to remove sodium ion (Na + ), ferric ion (Fe 3+ ), and sulfate ion (SO4 2− ), certain amount of ion exchanger was added after 24 h, the dark blue poly(3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDT)/PSS solution was obtained. The influence of different proportions of EDOT and PSS, different proportions of EDOT and the compound oxidant, different stirring rates on the morphology, and surface resistivity were discussed. The influence of pH value of the PEDT/PSS solution, the coating thickness, and soak time on the surface resistivity was investigated. Recipe and experimental conditions were optimized and the PEDT/PSS solution was obtained with excellent performance which has relatively low in surface resistance, good water tolerance, and light transmittance. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Sirtuin 3 involved in development of various diseases, but its role in inflammatory bowel disease is still unknown. We used inflammatory bowel disease biopsies, colitis animal model, and vitro cells RAW264.7 to study the role of Sirtuin 3 in the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel disease. Sirtuin 3 negatively correlated with intestinal TNF-α. Sirt3 was less pronounced in pediatric and adult inflammatory bowel disease patients compared with corresponding control group. Sirtuin 3 activator Honokiol suppressed dextran sulfate sodium induced colonic manifestations, while Sirt3 inhibitor caused opposite results. Honokiol inhibited colonic oxidative stress by and reduced intestinal permeability. Honokiol repressed inflammatory response by reducing macrophage infiltration, pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels, and inhibiting activation of NF-κB p65 in the colitis mice. However, Sirt3 inhibitor amplified colonic oxidative stress and inflammatory response. In vitro study, Sirt3 inhibitor or siRNA Sirtuin 3 activated NF-κB p65 and enhanced TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 secretion from LPS stimulated RAW264.7, while Honokiol remarkably attenuated these pro-inflammatory cytokines secretion. Finally, knockdown of Sirt3 in Caco-2 cells enhanced TNF-α induced intestinal barrier integrity injury. Sirtuin 3 negatively regulates inflammatory bowel disease progression via reducing colonic inflammation and oxidative stress. Sirtuin 3 is a promising therapeutic target in clinical application for inflammatory bowel disease therapy.

In this work, the copolymers were successfully synthesized by electrochemical polymerization of two monomers, bithiophene (BT) and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT), in a lithium perchlorate/propylene carbonate (LiClO 4 /PC) solution. The as-prepared were characterized with the aid of cyclic voltammetry, colorimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The electrochromic and colorimetric properties of copolymers poly(2,2′-bithiophene-co-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (P(BT-co-EDOT)) and homopolymer poly(2,2′-bithiophene) (PBT) in 0.1 M LiClO 4 /PC solution were investigated, and the coloring process based on the redox reaction of the film was observed. When an anodic potential is applied, the copolymer P(BT-co-EDOT) films show a color change from blue-purple to blue-gray changes, and the homopolymer PBT shows a color change from orange to brown. In addition, spectroelectrochemistry studies indicate that copolymer P(BT-co-EDOT) has a lower optical band gap (1.73–1.87 eV) than homopolymer PBT. The copolymers P(BT-co-EDOT) show a high optical contrast (36.65–42.62%) and coloration efficiency (215.8–296.6 cm 2 C −1 ). The copolymer P(BT1-co-EDOT1) demonstrates excellent redox cycling stability, with 90% of the original optical contrast maintained after 500 cycles, making it an ideal candidate for copolymers.

Self-powered poly (3-hexylthiophene)/zinc oxide (P3HT/ZnO) heterojunction ultraviolet photodetectors decorated by silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were fabricated by sol-gel and spin-coating techniques. The ultraviolet photoresponse performance of the P3HT/ZnO heterojunction photodetectors influenced by the position of plasmonic Ag NPs was investigated. The responsivity and detectivity of the P3HT/Ag/ZnO photodetector with placed Ag NPs at the interface of ZnO and P3HT layers enhanced to 1.92 and 1.15 times compared to the reference devices. When the Ag NPs embedded into ZnO layer , the responsivity, detectivity and external quantum efficiency were 16.42 mA/W, 5.97 × 10 11 Jones, and 5.36 %, respectively, which were 5.77 times, 4.64 times and 5.77 times to that of the pristine P3HT/ZnO photodetector. The enhancement mechanism of plasmonic metallic nanoparticles to the performance of the photodetectors was discussed in details. This study presents a simple route to high performance self-powered photodetectors.

3(5)-Nitropyrazole is obtained by rearrangement of 1-nitropyrazole in high boiling organic solvents. In this paper, the solubility of 3(5)-nitropyrazole in 12 high boiling solvents (anisole, benzonitrile, mesitylene, o-dichlorobenzene, 1-octanol, benzyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl acetate, dimethyl glutarate, cyclohexanone, N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methylformamide, and isophorone) was determined using the static gravimetric method over the temperature range of 283.15–323.15 K. The experimental results revealed that the solubility of 3(5)-nitropyrazole exhibited a positive correlation with temperature. Under ambient conditions at 298.15 K, the solubility decreased in the following order: N,N-dimethylformamide (37.705 × 10–2), N-methylformamide (20.131 × 10–2), cyclohexanone (13.469 × 10–2), isophorone (11.957 × 10–2), dimethyl glutarate (6.667 × 10–2), benzyl alcohol (3.909 × 10–2), benzonitrile (2.915 × 10–2), 1-octanol (1.916 × 10–2), 2-ethylhexyl acetate (1.220 × 10–2), o-dichlorobenzene (0.666 × 10–2), anisole (0.688 × 10–2), and mesitylene (0.246 × 10–2). The solubility of 3(5)-nitropyrazole was fitted using the Apelblat equation, λh equation, NRTL model, and van’t Hoff model. The fitting results were evaluated using average relative deviation and RMSD. The NRTL model exhibited the best overall performance. The use of Hansen solubility parameters for solubility prediction and analysis has certain limitations.

This study investigates the growth tolerance mechanisms ofChlorella pyrenoidosato 3-fluorophenol and its removal efficiency by algal cells. Our results indicate thatC. pyrenoidosacan tolerate up to 100 mg/L of 3-fluorophenol, exhibiting a significant hormesis effect characterized by initial inhibition followed by promotion of growth. InC. pyrenoidosacells, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), as well as the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), were higher than or comparable to the control group. Metabolic analysis revealed that the 3-fluorophenol treatment activated pathways, such as glycerol phospholipid metabolism, autophagy, glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein biosynthesis, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, contributed to the stabilization of cell membrane structures and enhanced cell repair capacity. After 240 h of treatment, over 50% of 3-fluorophenol was removed by algal cells, primarily through adsorption. Thus,C. pyrenoidosashows potential as an effective biosorbent for the bioremediation of 3-fluorophenol.

While biodegradation shows promise for removing 17β-estradiol-3-sulfate (E2–3S) from wastewater, its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We systematically elucidated E2–3S biodegradation from both microbial community and individual strain perspectives by constructing microbial co-occurrence networks across diverse reaction environments and isolating degrading bacteria from activated sludge. The results showed that activated sludge achieved E2–3S removal greater than 90 %, though estrogenic activity reduction varied with reaction environments. Network analysis, connectivity and centrality analyses identified Pseudomonas species as the keystone taxon driving estrogenic activity reduction, supported by synergistic interactions with Azonexus , Dechloromonas and Obscuribacter species to maintain redox homeostasis and nutrient availability. We further isolated non-pathogenic Pseudomonas CE2S, which demonstrated exceptional E2–3S degradation (> 90 %) and estrogenic activity reduction (> 70 %) across concentration gradients. Two major degradation pathways were proposed for strain CE2S, including deconjugation, hydroxylation, and oxidative ring cleavage reactions, ultimately yielding low-estrogenic-activity products. To our knowledge, this work provides the first comprehensive mechanistic understanding of E2–3S biodegradation spanning community to strain levels, and reports the first isolation of an activated sludge bacterium capable of simultaneous E2–3S degradation and estrogenic activity reduction. These findings provide critical insights for understanding E2–3S biodegradation and developing bioaugmentation strategies for optimal E2–3S removal.

Graphical The dehydration of 2,4-pentanediol to unsaturated alcohol was performed over ceria-based catalysts with high selectivity. A stereocatalytic effect of CeO 2 catalyst was observed for the production of trans -3-penten-2-ol, with negligible content of cis -3-penten-2-ol. The transformation of biobased alkanediols over heterogeneous catalysts is a major object. Here, a series of catalysts were prepared for 2,4-pentanediol dehydration to 3-penten-2-ol. Ceria-based catalysts had a unique property of showing high efficiency. More importantly, a stereocatalytic effect was observed for CeO 2 , yielding trans -3-penten-2-ol with a high selectivity. Raman, XPS, TPD, and TPR were carried out to clarify the catalyst structure, and the relationship between the catalyst structure and catalytic performance were studied. The amount of Lewis acid sites can hardly be correlated with the total concentrations of the oxygen vacancies. It was suggested that the geometry structure of the active sites played a crucial role in trans -3-penten-2-ol production. The oxygen vacancies originating from CeO 2 consisted of active sites with a geometrical structure, which were different from those created by Pr doping CeO 2 . In addition, the Pr doping enhanced the oxygen migration, which resulted in side reactions, consequently, giving a lower selectivity to trans -3-penten-2-ol.

A series of Pd/N-doped graphene catalysts were designed for the efficient and highly selective synthesis of muscone through the hydrogenation of 3-methylcyclopentadecenone (XT). The catalysts were characterized using FT-IR, BET, XPS, XRD, Raman and SEM–EDS. All results indicated the uniform dispersion of Pd on NG. By optimizing reaction conditions, the hydrogenation of XT achieved a high yield and selectivity of muscone, producing a 99% yield at 2 MPa H 2 and 90 °C in 10 h using a 10 wt% Pd/N-doped graphene catalyst functionalized with melamine (Pd/NmG), which significantly outperformed conventional Pd/C catalysts.

Eu 2+ -doped phosphors show broadband absorption, tunable emission and high quantum efficiency due to the parity-allowed 5d→4f transitions, allowing them to be used in solid-state lighting. To expand their applications in other fields such as detection and sensing technologies, the Eu 2+ emission needs to be tuned into the near-infrared region, but it is a big challenge to obtain Eu 2+ near-infrared region emitters due to the absence of host compounds with extremely large crystal-field splitting. In this work, we chose M 4 Li(BN 2 ) 3 (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) as a host and realize the near-infrared region emission of Eu 2+ in it. Among these phosphors, Ba 4 Li(BN 2 ) 3 :Eu 2+ exhibits the longest emission of 880 nm and the largest full-width at half maximum of 276 nm under 450 nm excitation, while Ca 4 Li(BN 2 ) 3 :Eu 2+ and Sr 4 Li(BN 2 ) 3 :Eu 2+ emit at 740 and 680 nm, respectively. We observe an interesting phenomenon that the energy shift of emission is linearly related to the radius difference between the alkaline earth cation and the activator Eu 2+ in this system.
