Inefficient electrocatalysts and high-power consumption are two thorny problems for electrochemical hydrogen (H 2 ) production from acidic water electrolysis. Herein we report the one-pot precise synthesis of ultrafine Au core-PtAu alloy shell nanowires (Au@Pt x Au UFNWs). Among them, Au@Pt 0.077 Au UFNWs exhibit the best performance for formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), which only require applied potentials of 0.29 V and −22.6 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm −2 , respectively. The corresponding formic acid electrolyzer realizes the electrochemical H 2 production at a voltage of only 0.51 V with 10 mA cm −2 current density. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the Au-riched PtAu alloy structure can facilitates the direct oxidation pathway of FAOR and consequently elevates the FAOR activity of Au@Pt 0.077 Au UFNWs. This work provides meaningful insights into the electrochemical H 2 production from both the construction of advanced bifunctional electrocatalysts and the replacement of OER.

Noble metal based one-dimensionally (1D) bimetallic nanostructures are attracting increasing interest in energy conversion field because of their structural advantages and tunable chemical composition. At present, the facile and efficient synthesis of high-quality Au-core noble metal-shell nanowires still maintains the challenge. Herein, we develop a feasible one-pot chemical-reduction strategy to rapidly synthesize high-quality Au@Ir core–shell nanowires (Au@Ir CSNWs) in 1-naphthol ethanol solution and explore their potential application in electrocatalysis. Expermattial results show the formation core–shell structure originates from the deposition-growth of Ir atoms at preferentially generated Au nanowires surface. When using as an electrocatalyst towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline media, Au@Ir CSNWs show Pt-like ORR electroactivity due to the compositional synergism effect and structural advantages of 1D nanowires, accompanying with excellent durability and extremely enhanced methanol tolerance towards ORR.

According to diethylenetriamine (DETA) assisted hydrothermal strategy, a novel N-doped graphene/CoSe 2 nanobelt composite was prepared. Afterwards, PEI functionalized NG-CoSe 2 and gold nanowires (AuNWs) were further compounded as a preliminary signal amplification platform for immunosensor. Thionine (Thi)-loaded [email protected] and secondary antibody (Ab 2 ) connected as a signal label. The immobilized coating antigen DBP-BSA and the DBP compete for limited antibody binding sites. The concentration of DBP can be determined by DPV detect the Thi signal loaded on the [email protected] 2 label. It can also be determined by SWV mode to detect the current generated by the reaction system of H 2 O 2 and o-phenylenediamine (o-PD) catalyzed by [email protected] with peroxidase like properties. Under optimum conditions, the linear ranges of the DPV and SWV modes were 1 pg mL −1 ∼1 μg mL −1 . And LOD were 0.486 pg mL -1 (DPV) and 0.711 pg mL -1 (SWV), respectively. Besides, it exhibited outstanding selectivity, reproducibility, stability and can be used for sensitive detection of DBP in real samples.

Ion-exchange membranes are the core elements for an electrodialysis (ED) separation process. Phase inversion is an effective method, particularly for commercial membrane production. It introduces two different mechanisms, i.e., thermal induced phase separation (TIPS) and diffusion induced phase separation (DIPS). In this study, anion exchange membranes (AEMs) were prepared by grafting a quaternized moiety (QM,2-[dimethylaminomethyl]naphthalen-1-ol) through brominated poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (BPPO) via the TIPS method. Those membranes were applied for selective bisulfite (HSO3−) anion separation using ED. The membrane surface morphology was characterized by SEM, and the compositions were magnified using a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). Notably, the membranes showed excellent substance stability in an alkali medium and in grafting tests performed in a QM-soluble solvent. The ED experiment indicated that the as-prepared membrane exhibited better HSO3−separation performance than the state-of-the-art commercial Neosepta AMX (ASTOM, Japan) membrane.Keywords:anion exchange membranes;BPPO;quaternized moiety;grafting;phase inversion;bisulfite;separation;electrodialysis

BACKGROUND Carboxylesterase (CarE) is a major class of enzyme involved in the detoxification of toxic xenobiotics in various insect species. Previous work has shown that the carboxylesterase gene CarE001G found in Helicoverpa armigera is more active and can metabolize synthesized pyrethroids, such as β -cypermethrin, one of the commonly used commercial insecticides for lepidopteran pest control. In addition, CarE001G is very special as it has a very specific glycine-rich region located adjacent to its C-terminal. But whether mutations in this unique sequence can change the biochemistry and function of CarE001G are unknown. RESULTS In this study, four variants of CarE001G with different deletions in the glycine-rich region were obtained and functionally expressed in Escherichia coli . The recombinant proteins were purified and confirmed by Western blot and mass spectrometry analyses. These mutant enzymes showed high catalytic efficiency toward the model substrate α -naphthyl acetate. Inhibition study showed that β -cypermethrin had relatively strong inhibition on CarE activities. In vitro metabolism assay showed that the mutant enzymes significantly enhanced their metabolic activities toward β -cypermethrin with specific activities between 4.0 and 5.6 nmol L -1 min −1 mg −1 protein. Molecular docking analyses consistently demonstrated that deletion mutations in the glycine-rich region may facilitate the anchoring of the β -cypermethrin molecule in the active binding pocket of the mutant enzymes. CONCLUSION The data show that deletion mutations can cause qualitative change in the capacity of CarEs in the detoxification of β -cypermethrin. This indicates that deletion mutations in the glycine-rich region may have the potential to cause synthesized pyrethroid (SP) resistance in H. armigera in the future. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

Anion exchange membrane (AEM) as a positively-charged polymer allows the transition of anions, block the cations, and has been widely used in the electro-desalination processes. Permselectivity , alkaline stability, and electric ohmic resistance on the AEM are critical issues determining the final desalination efficiency in an electro-desalination process. Here in this work, the AEM with sound desalination and alkaline stable character was fabricated from the aspect of functional group optimization, i.e., introduce into the 2, 6-dimethyl-1, 4-phenylene oxide (PPO) polymer matrix as the alternative of the conventional. The 1-naphthol derivatives, i.e., 2-[dimethylaminomethyl] naphthalen-1-ol, and 2,7-bis[dimethylaminomethyl] naphthalen-1-ol as the functional groups provide conjugated π-electron, which may increase the alkaline stability of the anion exchange membranes (AEMs), and thus guarantee its long-term stability when operating the electro-desalination process over the limiting current density condition. The innovative membranes perform lower area resistance 0.5–2.27 Ω cm 2 and well stability in the alkaline circumstance. In comparison to the commercial membranes (Neosepta AMX, standard grade), the obtained membrane presented comparable electro-desalination performance. The results indicate AEMs that functionalized by 1-naphthol derivatives can be a promising candidate for electro-desalination processes.

This research used a digital image colorimetry (DIC) method to detect carbaryl in food samples using effervescence-assisted liquid phase microextraction based on solidification of switchable hydrophilicity solvent combined with a microfluidic thread-based analytical device (EA-LPME-SSHS-μTAD). 1-naphthol, the hydrolysate of carbaryl, was extracted into octanoic acid by the adjustment of pH values of the sample solution and separated through solidification in an ice bath. Then 1-naphthol contained in the extracted solution was coupled with 4-methoxybenzenediazonlum tetrafluoroborate (MBDF) fixed on the μTAD to produce tangerine compounds. The inherent colour variation was captured by a smartphone and processed to calculate the intensity ( I ). Under the optimal conditions, the limit of quantification was within 0.020–0.027 mg kg −1 . The recovery was varied in the range from 92.3% to 105.9% with a relative standard deviation (RSD) below 5%. The developed method provides an alternative strategy to extract and detect pesticides for food samples.

The biological clock is an endogenous biological timing system, which controls metabolic functions in almost all organs. Nutrient metabolism, substrate processing, and detoxification are circadian controlled in livers. However, how the clock genes respond to toxins and influence toxicity keeps unclear. We identified the clock gene Per1 was specifically elevated in mice exposed to toxins such as carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ). Mice lacking Per1 slowed down the metabolic rate of toxins including CCl 4 , capsaicin, and acetaminophen, exhibiting relatively more residues in the plasma. Liver injury and fibrosis induced by acute and chronic CCl 4 exposure were markedly alleviated in Per1 -deficient mice. These processes involved the binding of PER1 protein and hepatocyte nuclear factor-1alpha (HNF-1α), which enhances the recruitment of HNF-1α to cytochrome P450 2E1 ( Cyp2e1 ) promoter and increases Cyp2e1 expression, thereby promoting metabolism for toxins in the livers. These results indicate that PER1 mediates the metabolism of toxins and appropriate suppression of Per1 response is a potential therapeutic target for toxin-induced hepatotoxicity.

The long-term and excessive use of insecticides has led to severe environmental problems and the evolution of insecticide resistance in insects. Carboxylesterases (CarEs) are important detoxification enzymes conferring insecticide resistance on insects. Herein, the detoxification process of Plutella xylostella (L.) carboxylesterase 6 (PxEst-6), one representative P. xylostella carboxylesterase, is investigated with cypermethrin, bifenthrin , cyfluthrin and λ-cyhalothrin. RT-qPCR shows that PxEst-6 is highly expressed in the midgut and cuticles of the third instar larvae. Exposure to pyrethroid insecticides resulted in PxEst-6 up-regulation in a short time. Metabolic assays indicate that PxEst-6 has the capacity to metabolize these pyrethroid insecticides. The combination of molecular docking, binding mode analyses and alanine mutations demonstrated that His451, Lys458 and Gln431 were key residues of PxEst-6 for metabolizing pyrethroids and the acetate groups derived from pyrethroids were key sites for being metabolized by PxEst-6. H451- and K458-derived hydrogen bond (H-bond) interactions with the pyrethroid acetate groups and the polar interactions with the pyrethroid acetate group provided by the Q431 sidechain were crucial to the pyrethroids’ metabolism by PxEst-6. Our study contributes to revealing the reasons for pyrethroid resistance in P. xylostella , and provides a fundamental basis for the development of novel pyrethroid insecticides.

Abstract A rapid and simultaneous method for the determination of naphthol isomers in human urine has been developed and validated by using molecular complex-based dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction followed by high-performance liquid chromatography. This method worked by the formation of hydrogen bond interaction between the extractant (1-octanol, Lewis base) and the analytes (naphthols, Lewis acid). Experimental parameters, including the type and volume of the extractant and disperser, pH, addition of salt, extraction time, were examined and optimized. Additionally, the proposed method was applied to human urine samples collected from six volunteer donors of the chemical laboratory. Under the optimum conditions, average recovery rates for the real samples varied from 78.5 to 98.2%, with the relative standard deviations less than 7.6%. The method offered excellent linearity over a range of 5–5000 ng/mL with correlation coefficient ( r < 0.999). The detection limit ( S / N = 3) was 0.61–0.69 ng/mL. The developed method was successfully applied to the determination of naphthol isomers in human urine. Compared with the previous DLLME methods, the feature of the new procedure lies in simpler sample preparation, higher sensitivity and lower cost of the extraction device. Also, theoretical calculations were conducted to understand the molecular interaction mechanism between 1-octanol and naphthols. Graphic abstract

A method for the simultaneous determination of eight phenolic compounds (PCs) with a wide polarity range in water samples has been developed and validated using molecular complex based dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (MC-DLLME) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography. In this process, the molecular complex acted as the extractant, which was formed by tributyl phosphate (TBP) and 1-octanol through hydrogen bond interaction in situ, using a disposable polyethylene pipette for the extraction. The extraction mechanism was investigated by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), which demonstrated that a TBP-1-octanol complex formed via P O HO hydrogen bonding . Furthermore, the extraction mechanism in the dual extraction solvent system involves hydrogen bonding for polar PCs and physical extraction for weak polar and apolar ones. Under the optimum conditions, detection limits were in the range 0.4–5.51 ng/mL and recoveries for the real samples varied from 82.0% to 104.7%, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of <9.1%. The developed method is simple, inexpensive and sensitive and was successfully applied to the extraction and determination of phenolic compounds in water samples.
