Recognizing and modifying the acid property-dependent catalytic characteristics of catalysts are of great importance for Prins condensation reaction. Herein, a series of metal-doped M-NH 4 -PW catalysts ( M =Pt, Fe, Ir, Ru) are successfully synthesized for Prins condensation reaction of formaldehyde and propylene to produce 4-methyl-1,3-dioxane. Our findings demonstrate that the catalytic performance of M-NH 4 -PW catalysts is influenced by the chemical nature of metal site properties with different electron transfer abilities. Specifically, the new Lewis acid decorated by Pt metal on 4-H site is more favorable for the selective adsorption of formaldehyde and activation of its C O bond. Additionally, the synergistic effect between Pt metal sites and nearby O in [PW 12 O 40 ] 3− promotes the formation of C C bonds between protonated formaldehyde and propylene. Consequently, the Pt-NH 4 -PW catalyst exhibits high conversion (> 80 %) and simultaneous selectivity towards 4-methyl-1,3-dioxane selectivity (65 %). This strategy may provide valuable insights for developing efficient multifunctional catalysts for Prins condensation reactions.

Replacing alkali metals (K, Na atoms) by an alkaline-earth metal (Ba atom), α-Ba3Sc2(BO3)4 (high-temperature phase) is successfully obtained by a molten salt method, taking Ba2K1.6Na0.4Sc2(BO3)4 as the parent template. Although both of them exhibit similar layered structures composed of ScO6 and BO3 units, α-Ba3Sc2(BO3)4 shows largely distorted ScO6 octahedra (Δd = 0.56) forced by the uniform tension of a larger space effect from BaO12 polyhedrons, rather than regular ScO6 octahedra like in Ba2K1.6Na0.4Sc2(BO3)4. Experimental measurements and calculated analyses elucidate that distorted ScO6 octahedra in α-Ba3Sc2(BO3)4, displaying a second-order Jahn–Teller (SOJT) effect, enlarge the experimental birefringence up to 0.14@550 nm, while Ba2K1.6Na0.4Sc2(BO3)4 with regular ScO6 octahedra only shows Δn = 0.11 under the same condition. In addition, other optical and thermal properties of the two title compounds were characterized. The experimental results indicate that Ba2K1.6Na0.4Sc2(BO3)4 and α-Ba3Sc2(BO3)4 are promising birefringent materials.

The synergistic corrosion inhibition effect of phytic acid (PA) and benzyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (BAB) on 1045 carbon steel (CS) in 0.5 M HCl is reported. Electrochemical measurements showed that PA and BAB can reduce the corrosion rate of 1045 CS in HCl solution and act as excellent corrosion inhibitors. The best inhibition efficiency n i of the combination inhibitor of PA with BAB is 90.6%. SEM images of the corroded steel surfaces suggest that the PA and BAB are simultaneously adsorbed on the CS surface to inhibit the corrosion of iron. The synergistic inhibition mechanism is investigated by dynamic simulations and quantum chemistry.

In this study, electrocatalytic sensing of gallic acid (GA) with poly( m -phenylenediamine) (PmPD) electrodeposited on the nanocomposites of palygorskite (Pal) and ionic liquid (IL) was reported. The PmPD/Pal-IL modified electrode showed a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.28 μM and a wide linear range from 1.0 μM to 300 μM for electrochemical sensing of GA due to the synergistic effects of PmPD, Pal and IL. That is to say, electrocatalysis of PmPD, preconcentration ability of Pal and ionic conductivity of IL contributed to the sensitive determination of GA. In addition, the fabricated PmPD/Pal-IL also exhibited high selectivity with little interferences from common organic compounds and inorganic cations, high storage stability and reproducibility in the determination of GA. Finally, the proposed GA sensor was applied in the determination of GA in real food samples, and the results demonstrated the potential of the prepared PmPD/Pal-IL as a promising GA sensor for rapid and accurate determination of GA in foodstuffs.

Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks third among the most common causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The chemotherapy for HCC is still insufficient, so far. In searching for effective anti-HCC agents from traditional Chinese medicine , we discovered that aloperine (ALO), a quinolizidine alkaloid from Sophora alopecuroides L., exerts anti-HCC activities. However, the effects of ALO on HCC have been rarely studied, and its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Purpose This study aims to evaluate the anti-HCC activities of ALO and explore its underlying mechanisms. Methods MTT assay and colony formation assay were used to investigate the anti-proliferative effects of ALO on human HCC Hep3B and Huh7 cells. Hoechst 33258 staining was used to observe the morphological changes of cells after ALO treatment . Flow cytometry was used to analyze apoptosis induction, the collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential and cell cycle distribution. Western blotting was used to examine the expression levels of proteins associated with apoptosis and cell cycle arrest , and key proteins in the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway . Small interfering RNA (siRNA) transfection was used to investigate the role of Akt in ALO-induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Zebrafish tumor model was used to evaluate the anti-HCC effects of ALO in vivo. Results ALO inhibited the proliferation of Hep3B and Huh7 cells. ALO induced apoptosis in HCC cells, which was accompanied by the loss of mitochondrial potential, the release of cytochrome c into cytosol, as well as the increased cleavages of caspase-9, caspase-3 and PARP . Moreover, ALO induced G2/M cell cycle arrest by downregulating the expression levels of cdc25C, cdc2 and cyclin B1 . In addition, ALO inhibited activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway by decreasing the expression levels of p110α , p85, Akt and p-Akt (Ser473) . Further study showed that inhibition of Akt by siRNA augmented ALO-mediated apoptosis and G2/M cell cycle arrest in HCC cells. Critically, ALO inhibited the growth of Huh7 cells in vivo. Conclusion We first demonstrated that ALO induced apoptosis and G2/M cell cycle arrest in HCC cells through inhibition of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. This study provides a rationale for ALO as a potential chemotherapeutic agent for HCC.

Enzyme degradation method was adopted to prepare porous m -aramid/cellulose blend membranes with high air permeability, water absorbency and moisture permeability. This facile preparation process started by casting a blend membrane from a DMAc/LiCl solution containing m -aramid and cellulose. An enzyme was then used to degrade the cellulose in the blend membrane, resulting in porous structures. Five enzymes including cellulase, chitosanase, papain, lipase, and glucose oxidase, were evaluated and cellulase was found to be optimal. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the miscibility and the morphology of the m -aramid/cellulose blend membranes before and after degradation, respectively. The thermal stability of the blend membranes were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The properties including air permeability, water absorbency and moisture permeability of the m -aramid/cellulose blend membranes greatly improved after degradation as compared to those of the pure m-aramid. This paper provided a new approach to preparing novel textile materials with high comfortability.

A novel and efficient pretreatment method is proposed for the enrichment of sanguinarine (SA) from the extraction wastewater of Macleaya cordata (Willd) R. Br. using magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MMIPs) as solid phase adsorbent. The obtained MMIPs were synthesized by molecular imprinted technology and were well characterized with TEM, FT-IR, XRD, TGA, and VSM. The adsorption capacity and selectivity of MMIPs were also investigated. The results showed that the obtained MMIPs were core–shell spherical morphologies with an average diameter of 300 nm. The adsorption experiments showed that the MMIPs exhibited an almost three times higher adsorption capacity towards SA ( Q max = 12.24 mg/g) than magnetic molecularly non-imprinted polymers (MNIPs) ( Q max = 4.15 mg/g). The calculated parameters of adsorption isotherms and kinetics suggested that the adsorption process matched the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics model. The thermodynamic parameters were calculated, indicating that the adsorption process was spontaneous (ΔG 298K = −3.24 kJ/mol). The selectivity experiment showed that the MMIPs displayed higher selective adsorption capacity for SA compared to its reference compounds. Moreover, the MMIPs were applied to enrich SA from the extraction wastewater of M. cordata . The proposed method could provide an effective, simple and environmentally friendly way to identify and enrich SA from the extraction wastewater of M. cordata .

In order to improve the performance of intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs), the effect of partial substitution of the transition metal M = Co, Cu, Fe and Mn for Ni in Nd 2 NiO 4+δ on the crystal chemistry, electrical conductivity , thermal stability, chemical reactivity with YSZ electrolyte and electrochemical performance has been systematically investigated. The electrochemical performances of the cathode materials are tested on planar NiO-YSZ anode-supported cells fabricated with YSZ as electrolyte in size of 50 mm × 50 mm. Compared to Nd 2 NiO 4+δ , each Nd 2 Ni 0.9 M 0.1 O 4+δ material shows a decrease in electrical conductivity and an increase in lattice volume, oxygen vacancy concentration and chemical reactivity with YSZ electrolyte. The cell with Nd 2 Ni 0.9 Co 0.1 O 4+δ cathode achieves the maximum power density of 530 mW cm −2 at 0.7 V at 800 °C. The cell with Nd 2 Ni 0.9 Cu 0.1 O 4+δ cathode is the most stable in short-term test. A small amount of B-site doping in Nd 2 NiO 4+δ does not cause any change in the cathode microstructure. The study demonstrates that a tradeoff between oxygen transport properties and electrical conductivity can be accomplished by appropriate selection of transition metal and level of cation B-site doping in Nd2NiO4+δ. Nd2Ni0.9M0.1O4+δ (M = Co, Cu) can be considered to be potential cathode materials in IT-SOFCs.

A 3 m zwitterionic polymeric porous layer open tubular column (3 m × 25 μm id × 375 μm od) with a polymeric porous layer thickness of 4 μm was fabricated by the copolymerization of [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl] dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl) ammonium hydroxide and N , N ’-methylenebis(acrylamide). The effects of the diameter of the capillary, reaction temperature, and polymerization time on the preparation of the open tubular column were investigated. Characterized by scanning electron microscopy, the zwitterionic layer was observed to be rough and throughout the fused-silica capillary homogenously, which increased the phase ratio. The separation of neutral, basic, and acidic compounds demonstrates the strong hydrophilicity of the poly[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl] dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl) ammonium hydroxide coating. In addition, the poly[2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl] dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl) ammonium hydroxide porous layer open tubular column was applied for the analysis of flavonoids from the rootstalk of licorice, revealing the potential in separating complex samples. The relative standard deviation of retention time for run-to-run ( n = 5), day-to-day ( n = 3), and column-to-column ( n = 3) of toluene, N , N -dimethylformamide, formamide, and thiourea were below 1.2%, exhibiting good repeatability.

To solve the thermal shrinkage, flammability and wettability problems of conventional polyolefin separators, we have prepared the nanonet-structured poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide)–polyurethane (PMIA–PU) nanofibrous membranes with enhanced thermostability and good wettability for high power lithium ion batteries (LIBs) via a one-step electrospinning technique. The as-prepared PMIA–PU membranes demonstrate improved mechanical strength (>15.79 MPa) and high ionic conductivity up to 1.38 mS cm−1 due to the introduction of PU and the formation of the nanonet structure. Benefiting from the introduction of PMIA, the as-prepared PMIA–PU membranes were endowed with not only improved thermostability and non-flammability but also excellent wettability to liquid electrolytes, which could be beneficial for improving the safety and reliability of LIBs. Moreover, the excellent affinity between the carboxy group (PMIA and PU) and the carbonate ester group of the liquid electrolyte endows the PMIA–PU membranes with good anodic stability up to 4.86 V. More importantly, the PMIA–PU membrane based Li/LiFePO4 cell exhibits comparable cycling stability, delivering a discharge capacity of 160 mA h g−1 at the 65th cycle and better rate capability compared with the Celgard membrane based cell. These results indicate a very promising direction for safe and reliable separators, which may make further progress in obtaining the enhanced performance of LIBs.

The electrochemical activity of the obtained copolymer has an improved pH dependence compared with polyaniline. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance, atomic force microscope, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy reveal the ion exchange behaviors of the copolymer, indicating that it could be a potential candidate for the effective electrochemical removal of toxic Cr(VI) from industrial wastewater.

Three transition metal oxides (Fe 3 O 4 , CeO 2 and SnO 2 ) modified Zn/Ti–layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were successfully synthesized. These materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectrum (UV–vis) for the purpose of confirming the formation of good crystal structure. Comparing with original layered double hydroxides, the transition metal oxides modified Zn/Ti layered double hydroxide materials show narrower band gap, larger surface area, smaller pore volume, pore size distribution, and higher removal efficiency for acid red 14 under visible light. The decomposition efficiency of acid red 14 was all over 92% after 120 min. In addition, the thermal regeneration for re-use of layered double hydroxide materials after photodegradation was feasible for at least four cycles (degradation amount still all over 80%). Furthermore, the kinetic parameters, intermediates and possible photocatalytic pathways for acid red 14 decomposed by these transition metal oxides modified Zn/Ti layered double hydroxide materials were also investigated carefully.
