Various metal-based heterogeneous catalysts activated peroxymonosulfate for organic pollutants degradation are increasingly recognized as an environmentally important sewage treatment technology. In this study, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) modified Fe 3 O 4 loaded ZIF-67 magnetic catalyst with transition metal cobalt ion was prepared for the first time by microwave-assisted solvothermal (MS) method within 30 min to activate peroxymonosulfate. The microwave synthesis process changed the time-consuming shortcoming of conventional method. The catalytic activity of the synthesized Fe 3 O 4 -PVP@ZIF-67 was assessed on bisphenol F (BPF) removal. The result showed 99.8% BPF was removed under the conditions of catalyst content of 0.15 g·L −1 , PMS content of 0.3 mM, and pH without adjustment in 60 min. And the Fe 3 O 4 -PVP@ZIF-67/PMS system exhibited a quality catalytic performance when the solution pH of BPF varied from 3 to 11. Compared with humic acid (HA), inorganic anions (Cl − , H 2 PO 4 − , SO 4 2− , HCO 3 − , and CO 3 2− ) showed slight effect to the degradation system. The quenching experiment verified that the main active substance in this system was SO 4 − •. Based on the degradation intermediates identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC–MS), the main degradation pathways were proposed for the degradation of BPF. Overall, Fe 3 O 4 -PVP@ZIF-67 as PMS activator is promising catalyst for sulfate radical-based wastewater treatment.

Researchers often consider microorganisms from Stenotrophomonas sp. to be beneficial for plants. In this study, the biocidal effects and action mechanisms of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by Stenotrophomonas sp. NAU1697 were investigated. The mycelial growth and spore germination of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum (FOC), which is a pathogen responsible for cucumber wilt disease, were significantly inhibited by VOCs emitted from NAU1697. Among the VOCs, 33 were identified, 11 of which were investigated for their antifungal properties. Among the tested compounds, 2-ethylhexanol exhibited the highest antifungal activity toward FOC, with a minimum inhibitory volume (MIV) of 3.0 μL/plate (equal to 35.7 mg/L). Damage to the hyphal cell wall and cell membrane integrity caused a decrease in the ergosterol content and a burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS) after 2-ethylhexanol treatment. DNA damage, which is indicative of apoptosis-like cell death, was monitored in 2-ethylhexanol-treated FOC cells by using micro-FTIR analysis. Furthermore, the activities of mitochondrial dehydrogenases and mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III in 2-ethylhexanol-treated FOC cells were significantly decreased. The transcription levels of genes associated with redox reactions and the cell wall integrity (CWI) pathway were significantly upregulated, thus indicating that stress was caused by 2-ethylhexanol. The findings of this research provide a new avenue for the sustainable management of soil-borne plant fungal diseases.

This work focuses on the improvement on the electrochemical performances of Fe–Mn based oxides as cathode for sodium ion batteries by doping Cu and F elements. The synthesized doped-compounds exhibit extremely excellent electrochemical performance. For instance, it's initial discharge capacity can reach 195.6 mAh g −1 at a current density of 10 mA g −1 . Meanwhile, after 200 cycles at 200 mA g −1 , it still remains a capacity of 124.1 mAh g −1 , 87.8% of the initial capacity of 141.3 mAh g −1 . More significantly, it can deliver a high capacity of 106.4 mAh g −1 at a high current density of 1000 mA g −1 . It is found that F/Cu co-substitution obviously improve the discharge capacity and cycle stability of Fe–Mn based oxide especially at higher current densities. Doping Cu and F elements has influence on the structure and morphology of the material, which results in the improvement of charge-discharge characteristics.

A simple Schiff-base ligand 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde semicarbazone (HNS) was synthesized and characterized. Based on the combined effect of inhibition of CHN isomerization and chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF), HNS functions as a fluorescence “turn on” sensor for Al3+ in buffered aqueous media. Based on the strong affinity of Al3+ to F− ions, the in situ generated Al3+–HNS complex can also be utilized as an effective chemosensor for F− sensing by metal displacement approach, ensuing quenching of fluorescence by the reversible return of HNS from Al3+–HNS complex. Thus a method using a single probe for the detection of both Al3+ and F− ions is developed. The system exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity for Al3+ and F− ions and the detection limits were found to be as low as 6.75 × 10−8 M and 7.89 × 10−7 M, respectively. Furthermore, the practical applicability of this probe has been examined in living cells.

Anaerobic biosynthetic crystals (ANBC) were prepared based on microbially induced calcium precipitation (MICP) and their potential explored for groundwater defluoridation and decalcification. The preparation conditions of ANBC were optimized and the influence of key factors (initial fluoride ions (F − ) concentration, pH, and initial calcium ions (Ca 2+ ) concentration) on the crystals was investigated. During the operation of the reactor, at pH of 7.0, the hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 6 h, and Ca 2+ concentration of 180 mg L −1 , a maximum removal efficiency reached 93.31%, while 66.20% of Ca 2+ could be removed. The adsorption dynamics study showed that the adsorption of ANBC was most in line with the pseudo-second-order model. The stability of ANBC operation was studied and failure reaction showed that the crystals maintained a stable removal ability after 35 times of repeated use. Further studies found that this was attributed to the continuous growth and synthesis of the crystals. The defluoridation and decalcification mechanism was further explored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction spectra (XRD). This study innovatively proposes a method for biosynthesis of crystals under anaerobic conditions based on MICP, which can efficiently and stably remove F − and Ca 2+ in groundwater, providing a valuable strategy for groundwater contaminant remediation and energy saving.

In order to achieve excellent visible light photoactivity of TiO 2 , it is still urgently required to extend their optical absorption ability and improve the potential of charge separation and migration. Here we synthesized highly efficient visible-light-active catalysts F-TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 via a one-step-calcination method. Due to the synergic effect of ≡Ti−F, ≡Ti:F−H and the heterojunction, the obtained catalysts possess promising properties as highly efficient separation and migration of photoelectron-hole pairs. The prepared F-TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction can be successfully applied to degrade the widely used flame retardants and antibiotics. More than 95% of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) was decomposed after light illumination for 120 min, and 98% of sulfamethazine (SMZ) was degraded for 60 min by F-TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 . Furthermore, a reasonable catalytic mechanism for the F-TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 catalysts was proposed. It could be seen that the active species •O 2 − , •OH, and h + played important roles in the photocatalytic process under visible light illumination.

Sulfide solid electrolytes (SSEs) have some huge advantages in high room-temperature conductivity, good thermal stability, low interfacial resistance, etc. They are one of the ideal solid electrolytes for developing high energy density and high safety for all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). However, the preparation of SSEs requires expensive Li2S as the raw material, whose high cost limits its practical application. Herein, a cost-effective SSE Li7.3P2.9S10.75X0.3 (X = F, Cl, Br, and I) was designed and prepared by using low-cost lithium and sulfur instead of expensive Li2S. Significantly, the cost of SSEs was reduced from $169.72 to $28.13 kg–1 based on replacing the Li2S strategy. Moreover, the prepared Li7.3P2.9S10.75X0.3 (X = F, Cl, Br, and I) solid electrolytes have a high ionic conductivity of 1.86–2.73 mS cm–1 at room temperature and a high voltage window of 5 V. On this basis, we assembled the all-solid-state lithium battery TiS2/Li7.3P2.9S10.75I0.3/Li–In, which presented a high initial discharge capacity of 219 mA h g–1 at room temperature and satisfactory cycle stability with a capacity retention of 86.7% after 100 cycles at 0.50 mA cm–2. This work provides an effective strategy for reducing the cost of SSEs, advancing the practical process of ASSLBs.

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) refers to a molecular subtype of breast cancers (BC) with high rate of distant metastases and poor prognosis. Epirubicin (EPI) is widely used for the therapy of TNBC but it’s limited in clinical use due to cardiotoxicity and chemotherapy resistance. We previously identified F-α-DDB-derivative, a novel synthetic of bifendate, as a potential agent to improve the therapeutic efficacy of TNBC in combination with EPI since F-α-DDB-derivative inhibited MDA-MB-468, but not as much as EPI. In this study, we investigated the antitumor activity of F-α-DDB-derivative in combination with EPI against TNBC in vitro and in vivo and whether co-treatment would induce additional cardiotoxicity. In human TNBC MDA-MB-468 cells, application of F-α-DDB-derivative (11.5, 23.0, 46.0 μg/ml) in combination with EPI (1.5, 3.0, 6.0 μg/ml) exhibited great inhibition on cell viability and cell proliferation. Additionally, F-α-DDB-derivative (5.75, 11.5, 23.0, 46.0 μg/ml) interacted with EPI (0.75, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0 μg/ml) synergistically to induce apoptosis in MDA-MB-468 cells. This suggests that F-α-DDB-derivative may be more sensitive to apoptotic pathways. Furthermore, we revealed that co-administration of EPI and F-α-DDB-derivative (ip, once every other day for 14 days) significantly increased the therapeutic efficacy of EPI (2.0 mg/kg) or F-α-DDB-derivative (20.0 mg/kg) in mice harboring MDA-MB-468 cell xenografts without additional cardiotoxicity compared to that in EPI monotherapy group. These results implicate that co-treatment of EPI and F-α-DDB-derivative may be a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of TNBC.

The individual and combined interactions of bisphenol F and piceatannol with pepsin were investigated using spectroscopic methods (fluorescence, UV–vis absorption, and circular dichroism spectroscopy), combined with isothermal titration calorimetry and molecular docking. Thermodynamic data showed that hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces might play a major role for the binding process. Site marking experiments and molecular docking confirmed the binding sites of these two ligands on pepsin. The discrepancy in the binding constant between the binary and ternary systems indicated the competitive binding of piceatannol and bisphenol F to pepsin. Circular dichroism spectra studies suggested that the binding of the two ligands led to a loosening of pepsin backbone. Enzyme activity assays indicated that the inhibition of pepsin activity by piceatannol and bisphenol F was competitive. These results will be helpful to understand the mechanism of piceatannol and bisphenol F affecting the activity of digestive proteases in the sight of the food security.

A new ditopic ion pair receptor 1 containing two biindole moieties and a bis-benzocrown ether unit shows a remarkable color switching (ON- and -OFF) function induced by anion (F − ) and cation (K + ) recognition. The ditopic receptor 1 binds in a cooperative fashion to HSO 4 − in the presence of 1 ·K + and acts as a selective ditopic receptor to recognize ion pairs with a wavelength-ratiometric manner.

A novel mesoporous nanosphere functionalized with 3-(aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and 2-(5-bromothiophen)imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (5-Br-Tip) was synthesized (denoted as Tip-MSS). With the coordinating function of the 5-Br-Tip to lanthanide (Ln) ions, for the first time, LnL3(5-Br-Tip) complexes were linked to the mesoporous nanospheres. The derived materials, named Ln-Tip-MSS (Ln = Eu, Tb, Sm, Nd, Yb), were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, TEM, XRD (wide-angle and small-angle), N2 adsorption/desorption analysis, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Upon excitation in the ligand absorption, the Ln-Tip-MSS nanomaterials show characteristic visible (Eu, Tb, Sm) and NIR (Sm, Nd, Yb) luminescence (multicolor emission covered from 450 nm to 1400 nm spectral region). Of importance is that, with low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility given by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, the Eu-Tip-MSS was successfully applied to cell imaging in vitro based on the Eu3+ luminescence (under 405 nm excitation).

Modified graphitic carbon nitride (MCN) was synthesized via calcinating β-alanine introduced melamine supramolecular precursors and poly(3-methylthiophene-co-fluorene) (P(3MT-co-F)) with improved planarity was prepared by polymerization of 3-methylthiophene (3MT) and fluorene (F) monomers. P(3MT-co-F)/MCN heterojunction was constructed by electrostatic self-assembly and the optimal 3P(3MT 1 -co-F 1 )/MCN exhibits excellent H 2 production performance of 11108 μmol h −1 g −1 under visible light, 150 times higher than MCN. The enhancement is attributed to the following aspects: First, F monomer as a rigid unit can regulate the main-chain torsion of P(3MT-co-F), enhancing planarity and facilitating intramolecular charge transport within copolymer. Second, N⋯S interactions and π-π stacking interactions at heterojunction interface improve the charge transfer and separation. Third, the incorporation of P(3MT-co-F) with narrow band gap into MCN not only broadens visible light absorption range and enhances visible light response, but also forms a Z-scheme heterojunction with MCN, further enhancing the charge separation and retaining the electrons with strong reducibility.
