The development of functionalized persistent-luminescent (PersL) materials is currently receiving intense interest for diverse applications. However, PersL materials emitting ultraviolet light in the 315–400 nm (UVA) range are lacking. Herein, a series of x-ray-activated PersL materials based on ABCO 4 -type structures with random cation arrangements are developed. Comprehensive experiments confirm that materials featuring random cation arrangements are sufficiently general to act as host materials for PersL. Experimental results indicate that as-synthesized SrLaXO 4 :Bi 3+ (X = Al, Ga, In) powders have tunable PersL bands covering the UV-to-visible range after x-ray irradiation. Taking advantage of the depth-independent nature of x-ray illumination in tissues, UVA Persl composites using the matched photosensitizer g-C 3 N 4 (SrLaAlO 4 :Bi@g-C 3 N 4 ) are well suited for x-ray-activated photodynamic therapy, as proven by tests for singlet-oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) generation. Therefore, we suggest that the proposed concept be applied to discover additional functionalized PersL materials for clinical cancer therapy in the future.

The directional design of interfacial defects is a promising way to promote charge separation but simultaneously a great challenge due to their random formation in heterojunction. Herein, an alternative Bi 12 O 17 Cl 2 /Bi 2 WO 6 heterojunction with interfacial defects formed spontaneously is prepared by controlling the growth of Bi 2 WO 6 on the edges of Bi 12 O 17 Cl 2 nanobelts via ion exchange process. These interfacial defects can efficiently increase the carrier density and serve as charge separation centers to extend the lifetime of carriers and activate O 2 to O 2 − and further to OH. The zigzag interfaces and irregular edges facilitate the interaction between active sites and reactants. The heterojunction morphology and the interfacial defect concentration can be controlled by tuning the solvothermal time. Consequently, the optimal Bi 12 O 17 Cl 2 /Bi 2 WO 6 heterojunction exhibits significantly enhanced visible light photocatalytic performance toward the degradation of phenols, antibiotics and dyes as compared to that of mono-Bi Bi 12 O 17 Cl 2 and Bi 2 WO 6 photocatalyst.

In this work, Bi spheres were deposited on bulk WO 3 ·0.33H 2 O and TiO 2 (P25) nanoparticles to form Z-scheme Bi/TiO 2 /WO 3 ·0.33H 2 O heterojunction material for the first time by a simple hydrothermal method. The as-prepared materials were comprehensively characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, UV–Vis DRS, BET surface area, EIS, and Mott-Schottky analysis. The ternary Bi/TiO 2 /WO 3 ·0.33H 2 O composites exhibited superior degradation efficiency for RhB than pure WO 3 ·0.33H 2 O, TiO 2 (P25), and their binary composites. The degradation rate reached 99.84% after 30 min under simulated sunlight. The enhancement of photocatalytic activity could be attributed to the Z-scheme heterojunction system with metal Bi as an electronic medium, which greatly enhanced the efficiency of charge separation. This report demonstrated that Z-scheme Bi/TiO 2 /WO 3 ·0.33H 2 O heterojunction photocatalytic material has potential application value in dye wastewater treatment.

The adsorption capacity of existing β-CD-based adsorbents is generally restrained by the limited dimension of β-CD's inherent cavity. To find an effective way to expand the inclusion/adsorption capacity of β-CD, a series of N-containing groups, amine with straight chain, imidazole with rigid five-membered ring and pyridine with rigid six-membered ring, are firstly utilized to alkylate the secondary rim of β-CD through the thiol-Michael addition. The capsulation ability of the resultant β-CD derivatives are compared and the β-CD derivatives appended with aromatic imidazole or pyridine provide extremely rich host surroundings for loading Rhodamine B (RB), which is identified by the 1 H NMR titration and UV–Vis spectroscopy. The bi-functional adsorbents correlative to those β-CD derivatives are then synthesized by the polymerization of vinylated β-CD and the corresponding vinyl N-containing monomers , and applied to remove RB and Cd (II) from the aqueous condition. Governed by multiple factors such as porosity, surface charge and binding affinity , the imidazole modified β-CD adsorbent revealed the best adsorption efficiency for organic dyes and metal ions , in both single- and bi-component solutions. Our work provides effective strategy and reliable basis for the design and fabrication of β-CD-based materials with high capacity and multi-functionality.

Membrane distillation (MD) is an attractive membrane process for seawater and brine water desalination. One of the main obstacles for MD application is the absence of an effective MD membrane with high water permeability and an excellent salt rejection. This work proposes a novel design strategy of hydrophobic/hydrophilic bi-component membranes for MD by electrospinning and calcination . Unlike the conventional dual-layer hydrophobic/hydrophilic membranes, the bi-component membrane developed in this work is composed of multiple layers of hydrophilic polyimide (PI) nanofibers and hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) microclusters, which interweave with each other in the entire membrane. The optimal hydrophobic/hydrophilic bi-component membrane #PTFE/PI-2 shows robust three-dimensional (3D) superhydrophobic and self-cleaning properties. It exhibits a highly competitive permeation flux of 42 ± 3 L m −2 h −1 and an excellent salt rejection above 99.9% in a 400-h continuous DCMD operation when the feed solution was synthetic seawater with a NaCl concentration of 3.5 wt% at 60 °C. Moreover, it is able to achieve an outstanding water flux of 40 ± 2 L m −2 h −1 and a salt rejection over 99.9% when the feed solution was brine water with a NaCl concentration of 25 wt%. The high vapor permeability of #PTFE/PI-2 should be attributed to the high membrane porosity, negligible mass transfer resistance of PI nanofibers and more effective water evaporation area on its superhydrophobic surface. Meanwhile, the excellent anti-wetting property should be due to a unique 3D superhydrophobicity constructed by multiple layers of PTFE microclusters.

As a representative type of self-supported templates, cyano-bridged cyanogels provide ideal plateaus for synthesis of three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures. Herein, 3D pomegranate-like Fe-doped NiCo nanoassemblies (3D PG-NiCoFe NAs) were synthesized via facile one-step bi-component cyanogel reduction with NaBH 4 as the reducing agent. Specifically, the influence of the incorporated Fe amount was carefully investigated by finely adjusting the feeding molar ratios of the Ni/Co/Fe atoms in the precursors. By virtue of the unique structure and enriched oxygen vacancies originated from well-modulated electronic structures, the 3D PG-NiCoFe-211 NAs exhibited outstanding electrocatalytic performances for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline solution, outperforming commercial RuO 2 catalyst. The current incorporation of foreign metal atom into host material provides some valuable insights into design and synthesis of metal-based nanocatalysts for constructing practical water splitting devices.

Coal gasification wastewater (CGW) contains a large amount of toxic pollutants , which seriously affects the subsequent biochemical treatment. In order to investigate the efficiency of electrocatalytic oxidation on pretreatment of CGW, lead dioxide electrodes doped with PEG and Bi were successfully prepared. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction were comprehensively used to characterize the lead dioxide electrode and the electrochemical performance was also tested by linear sweep voltammetry curve, cyclic voltammetry curve and AC impedance. Biodegradability and toxicity of CGW were evaluated by dehydrogenase activity and acute toxicity, respectively. Results showed that the doping of PEG and Bi significantly improved the electrochemical performance and catalytic oxidation performance of lead dioxide electrodes. The degradation rate of phenol by Sn–Sb/PbO 2 (PEG + Bi) electrode were 1.57 times of that by pure lead dioxide electrode. The removal of TOC and total phenols were 53.2% and 82.7%, respectively at 120 min under 40 mA cm −2 by Sn–Sb/PbO 2 (PEG + Bi) electrode. The changes of biodegradability, biological toxicity and by-products were analyzed. Furthermore, 3,5-dimethylphenol was used as characteristic pollutant to study the degradation mechanism of phenolic pollutants in electrocatalytic system. According to the intermediate products detected by GC-MS, possible degradation pathways in electrocatalytic system were proposed.

Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are considered to be promising energy-storage-systems in the post-Li-ion batteries. Conversion and alloy reaction anode materials draw much attention owing to high theoretical capacities. However, their inherent volume expansions always block the K-ion diffusion or interrupt electron transfer to a degree, resulting in degraded performances at high rates. It is supposed that the rate capability of the anode would be improved when the avenues for ion/electron are kept expedite simultaneously. Herein, SnS 2 and carbon hybrid submicro-fibers with optimized channels were prepared as integrated KIBs electrodes to clarify the effect of the bi-continuous avenues on the rate capability. In this configuration, SnS 2 nanosheets are confined by carbon and further crosslinked into 3D network. The 3D carbon submicro-fibers are adopted as a network for electron transfer , while the channels play the role of ion diffusion avenues. Owing to the stable and expedite bi-continuous electron/ion avenues, the rate capability of the SnS 2 @C–1V1 SMF electrode (137.5 mAh g −1 at 2.0 A g −1 ) is improved when compared to the counterparts (3.6 mAh g −1 and 94.5 mAh g −1 at the same condition). This work will offer an important reference for the optimization design and construction of KIBs anode materials with high rate capability.

Naproxen (NPX) as one of the typical pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) has been constantly detected in aquatic environment recently which has potentially hazard to the human health and ecosystem. However, the practical applicability of photocatalysts in degradation of NPX is still restricted by challenges that most nanomaterials need to be stimulated by ultraviolet light and their limited photocatalytic activity under visible light. Therefore, we synthesized bismuth titanate nanobulks (Bi-TNB) through the two-step method of hydrothermal-calcining. The crystal structure, morphology, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra and surface adsorption performance of the as-prepared were investigated by XRD, SEM, UV–vis and BET. Several parameters which might influence the degradation efficiency were studied including initial NPX concentration, catalyst dosage, solution pH and concentration of anions, cations and humus. The results indicated that more than 99.9% of NPX (0.25 mg/L) was removed by Bi-TNB (0.5 g/L) at pH = 7. Reactive species scavenging experiments indicated that h + and O 2 ·− were the dominant active species involved the degradation of NPX. In photodegradation process, NPX was firstly decarboxylated and then further photocatalytic oxidized to form carboxylic acids of lower molecular weights and would be finally transformed into CO 2 and H 2 O. PPCPs coexistence experiment showed that acetaminophen would hinder the removal of NPX by Bi-TNB. Both the reaction in different water matrices and degradation under the condition of sunlight indicated that Bi-TNB could be applied in degradation of NPX in environmental water systems. This study provides a new strategy for enhancing material photocatalytic performance to be used in practical applications.

An alcoholamine, 2-[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy]ethanol (DMAEE), was co-tethered with pentaethylenehexamine (PEHA) on the surfaces of the flue gas desulfurized gypsum (FGDG) carriers to synthesize a solid bi-amine adsorbent. The effects of temperature, loading of the blended amines, mass ratio of DMAEE to PEHA, CO 2 partial pressure on the CO 2 adsorption performance were discussed. The water of hydration contained in the FGDG carriers promoted the CO 2 adsorption capacity of the bi-amine adsorbent. Both the breakthrough time and the saturation adsorption capacity of the bi-amine adsorbent were distinctly higher than the DMAEE or PEHA singly tethered adsorbents. The adsorption capacity of the bi-amine adsorbent decreased by only 1.86% over twelve cycles. The isosteric heat of adsorption Q s t and the mean free energy of adsorption E f e was determined and both the values indicated that the adsorption was primarily chemisorption. In the kinetics analysis, Avrami model fitted best with the measured adsorption capacity. With the aid of the 13 C–NMR quantitative analysis results, the CO 2 adsorption mechanism of the bi-amine adsorbent in the presence of the water of hydration was revealed. For the bi-amine adsorbents supported on some porous carriers, FGDG particles were testified to replace up to 7 wt.% of montmorillonite clay or 7 wt.% of MCM–41 zeolite or 10.5 wt.% of ZSM–5 zeolite without any decrease in the CO 2 adsorption capacity.

A novel electrochemical horseradish peroxidase (HRP) sensor was developed based on boronate affinity-based electropolymerized polythionine (PTh) molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as specific recognition element for HRP on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified glassy carbon electrode, in which PTh acted as the electrochemical probe for the sensor. The sensor was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and electron dispersive spectroscopy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and differential pulse voltammetry were exploited for the study of the properties of the MIP sensor. The MIP sensor exhibited excellent linear response over the range of 2.0 × 10−10 mg/mL ∼ 1.0 × 10−7 mg/mL for HRP. In addition, with MIP film as HRP immobilized matrices, the sensor for the detection of H2O2 was developed with the MIP sensor based on the reduction of H2O2 catalyzed by HRP in the presence of electron mediator PTh. The sensor showed linear relationships between the current response and H2O2 concentration from 6.0 × 10−7 to 2.0 × 10−5 mol/L. HRP and H2O2 bi-analyte sensor based on MIP film was successfully developed in this work. The developed method can also be applicable for enzyme and its enzymatic substrate bi-analyte sensor.

Poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene)-lanthanum oxide // poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene)-hexagonal boron nitride (PVH–LaO // PVH-BN) bi-layer separators are developed through a two-step blading approach. La 2 O 3 in the PVH matrix enhances the Li + conduction by providing extra Li + conducting pathways owing to the Lewis acid-base interaction of La atoms with the PVH chains, leading to a high lithium-ion transference number of 0.72 and ionic conductivity of 7.5 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at room temperature. Moreover, the strong interfacial interaction between h -BN and PVH in the bi-layer separator enhances the thermal and mechanical stabilities of the separator. Batteries based on lithium iron phosphate and the bi-layer separator deliver a discharge capacity of 158 mAh g −1 at 0.5 C after 100 cycles and a rate capacity of 81 mAh g −1 at 10 C after 1500 cycles.
