As a result of the ban on bisphenol A (BPA), a hormone disruptor with developmental neurotoxicity, several BPA derivatives (BPs) have been widely used in industrial production. However, there are no effective methods for assessing the neurodevelopmental toxic effects of BPs. To address this, a Drosophila exposure model was established, and W 1118 was reared in food containing these BPs. Results showed that each BPs displayed different semi-lethal doses ranging from 1.76 to 19.43 mM. Exposure to BPs delayed larval development and affected axonal growth, resulting in the abnormal crossing of the midline of axons in the β lobules of mushroom bodies, but the damage caused by BPE and BPF was relatively minor. BPC, BPAF, and BPAP have the most significant effects on locomotor behavior, whereas BPC exhibited the most affected social interactions. Furthermore, exposure to high-dose BPA, BPC, BPS, BPAF, and BPAP also significantly increased the expression of Drosophila estrogen-related receptors. These demonstrated that different kinds of BPs had different levels of neurodevelopmental toxicity, and the severity was BPZ > BPC and BPAF > BPB > BPS > BPAP ≈ BPAl ≈ BPF > BPE. Therefore, BPZ, BPC, BPS, BPAF, and BPAP should be evaluated as potential alternatives to BPA.

Quaternary ammonium-functionalized anion exchange membranes (AEMs) have important potential application value in water electrolysis. In order to further improve the ionic conductivity and stability of AEMs, a series of crosslinked AEMs based on poly (aryl ether sulfone)s (Co-PAES-QA-x-m, “x” represents the functionalized polymer segment, “m” represents the crosslinking ratio) are prepared by introducing dense quaternary ammonium cations on the side chains via Menshutkin reaction. Their polymer structures are characterized by hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FT-IR, and the microscopic phase separation structure of the obtained membranes is observed by atomic force microscope AFM. The ion exchange capacity (IEC) of Co-PAES-QA-x-m (x = 25%, m = 40%–100%) is between 2.03–2.48 mmol g −1 , and their water uptake (WU), swelling ratio (SR) and ionic conductivity are in the range of 26.9–56.7%, 6.3–12.9% and 53.43–119.43 mS cm −1 at 80 °C, respectively. The test of chemical stability show that the ionic conductivity retention ratio of these AEMs reaches 84.7% after soaking in 2 mol L −1 NaOH solution for 480 h at 80 °C. The water electrolyzer assembled with representative Co-PAES-QA-25-60 reaches 1646.7 mA cm −2 in 2 mol L −1 NaOH solution at 2.0 V and 80 °C, and the durability test shows that its voltage only rises by 5% after 480 h at the current density of 500 mA cm −2 . This work is expected to provide an effective modification method for high-performance AEMs which are used in water electrolyzer.

Blend proton exchange membranes (BPEMs) were prepared by blending sulfonated poly(aryl ether nitrile) (SPAEN) with phosphorylated poly(vinylbenzyl chloride) (PPVBC) and named as SPM-x%, where x refers to the proportion of PPVBC to the weight of SPAEN. The chemical complexation interaction between the phosphoric acid and sulfonic acid groups in the PPVBC–SPAEN system resulted in BPEMs with reduced water uptake and enhanced mechanical properties compared to SPAEN proton exchange membranes. Furthermore, the flame retardancy of the PPVBC improved the thermal stability of the BPEMs. Despite a decrease in ion exchange capacity, the proton conductivity of the BPEMs in the through-plane direction was significantly enhanced due to the introduction of phosphoric acid groups, especially in low relative humidity (RH) environments. The measured proton conductivity of SPM-8% was 147, 98, and 28 mS cm−1under 95%, 70%, and 50% RH, respectively, which is higher than that of the unmodified SPAEN membrane and other SPM-x% membranes. Additionally, the morphology and anisotropy of the membrane proton conductivities were analyzed and discussed. Overall, the results indicated that PPVBC doping can effectively enhance the mechanical and electrochemical properties of SPAEN membranes.

Bisphenol compounds exist widely in the environment and pose potential hazards to the environment and human health, which has aroused widespread concern. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient and sensitive analytical method to enrich and determine trace bisphenols in environmental samples. In this work, magnetic porous carbon (MPC) was synthesized by one-step pyrolysis combined with a solvothermal method for magnetic solid-phase extraction of bisphenols. The structural properties of MPC were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and saturation magnetization analysis. Its adsorption properties were evaluated by adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherm studies. By optimizing the magnetic solid-phase extraction and capillary electrophoresis separation conditions, a capillary electrophoresis separation and detection method for four bisphenols was successfully constructed. The results showed that the detection limits of the proposed method for the four bisphenols were 0.71–1.65 ng/mL, the intra-day and inter-day precisions were 2.27–4.03% and 2.93–4.42%, respectively, and the recoveries were 87.68%-108.0%. In addition, the MPC could be easily recycled and utilized, and even if the magnetic solid-phase extraction was repeated 5 times, the extraction efficiency could still be kept above 75%.

In this work, 2-undecylimidazole (UI) and propyl methacrylate (PMA) dual-functionalized silica gel was prepared and applied as a mixed-mode chromatographic stationary phase. Successful preparation of this stationary phase (SiO 2 -UI-PMA) was proved through a range of characterization techniques. The chromatographic performance of the obtained SiO 2 -UI-PMA was investigated for the separation of environmental endocrine disruptors (phthalates, steroid hormones, bisphenols and alkylphenols), sulfonamides and food-borne stimulants in reversed-phase chromatography, as well as for the separation of inorganic anions in anion-exchange chromatography. The effect of column temperature, acetonitrile content, salt concentration and mobile phase pH on retention was studied to explore the separation mechanism, and the results indicated that this stationary phase provided multiple interactions with analytes. Compared with the commercial C18 column, the SiO 2 -UI-PMA demonstrated more preferable separation ability under the mobile phase conditions with a low content of acetonitrile, thereby acting as a good alternative candidate for the conventional reversed-phase stationary phase in chromatographic analysis. Furthermore, the SiO 2 -UI-PMA stationary phase exhibited high column efficiency (45 860 plates m −1 for progesterone) even though it was prepared from the non-serviceable silica based chromatographic packing materials.

To improve the extraction efficiency of carbon fibers (CFs) toward organic pollutants, TiO 2 nanorod arrays (NARs) were grown in situ on CFs. Subsequently, biochar nanospheres and covalent organic framework nanospheres were separately introduced to functionalize the NARs. A sequence of materials was produced by regulating the reactant concentrations and characterized using a scanning electron microscope, an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer, an X-ray diffractometer, a Raman spectrometer, and a specific surface area analyzer. The materials were then deposited into separate poly(etheretherketone) tubes for in-tube solid-phase microextraction (IT-SPME). These tubes were evaluated with different types of organic pollutants (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), estrogens, bisphenols, and phthalate esters) using a combination of high-performance liquid chromatography and IT-SPME, and they exhibited diverse extraction performance. The extraction mechanism of each material is carefully discussed, and the structure–performance relationship is also summarized based on the chemical structures and extraction properties of the materials. The most efficient extraction materials for different analytes were discovered and used to develop analytical methods. Three online methods were used to sensitively detect PAHs, estrogens, and bisphenols in real water samples, respectively. Satisfactory results were obtained, including enrichment factors up to 6784, detection limits as low as 0.001 μg L −1 , linear ranges of 0.003–15.0 μg L −1 , and relative standard deviations ranging from 0.2% to 15.2%. The results indicate that these methods have some advantages over previous material-based methods.

Increasing attention has been paid to fabricate multifunctional stabilizers of liquid marbles for expanding their application. Here, a kind of hydrophobic cyclomatrix polyphosphazene particles (PZAF) were facilely prepared using a one-step precipitation polycondensation of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene and 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphenol, and their ability to stabilize liquid marbles was first investigated. The Ag nanoparticle-decorated PZAF particles (Ag/PZAF) were then fabricated by an in situ reduction of silver nitrate onto PZAF particles and used to construct catalytic liquid marbles. The results revealed that the reduction of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution by sodium borohydride could be highly efficiently catalyzed in the catalytic liquid marbles, even with a large volume. An excellent cycle use performance of the catalytic liquid marbles without losing catalytic efficiency was also present. The high catalytic activity is mainly attributed to the uniform immobilization of Ag nanoparticles onto PZAF particles and the adsorption behavior of PZAF particles toward MB, which may play an effect on allowing high catalytic surface area and effective accelerating the mass transfer of MB to the Ag catalytic active sites, respectively. Therefore, the combination of Ag nanoparticles with PZAF particles has been demonstrated clearly to be a facile and effective strategy to obtain the functional stabilizer for preparing the catalytic liquid marbles as promising miniature reactors used in heterogeneous catalytic reactions.

Developing highly ion conductive and desirable electrodialysis (ED) performance anion exchange membranes (AEMs) is of great significance. In this work, we report a strategy for fabricating novel AEMs based on a series of fluoro-methyl poly(arylene ether ketone)s having long-side-chain imidazolium groups for ED. Having hydrophilic conductive flexible side-chain imidazolium groups and rigid hydrophobic backbone within AEM matrix, the optimized AEM (PAEK-60-im) shows low water uptake of 24.9% at 80 °C and desirable ion conductivity of 22.01 mS cm –1 at 30 °C. In NaCl removal application of ED, PAEK-60-im shows the NaCl removal ratio of 69.66% within 120 min, outperforming commercial AEM-Type II (68.98%). Accordingly, it has a higher current efficiency of 83.7% but lower energy consumption of 5.9 kWh kg –1 , compared with the commercial one (82.0%; 6.6 kWh kg –1 ). In particular, in selectrodialysis application, possibly owing to the synergistic effect of pore-size sieving effect resulting from macro-separation morphology and hydration energy difference of SO 4 2– ions (–1000 kJ mol –1 ) and Cl – ions (–317 kJ mol –1 ) in feeding solution, PAEK-60-im shows significantly superior monovalent anion perm-selectivity (Cl − /SO 4 2− ) of 7.70 at 30 min, relative to commercial anion-selective Neosepta ACS (5.27) and many other reported mono-valent anion selective AEMs having elegant surface modified layers. The superior ED performance of the homogeneous PAEK-60-im is suggestive of its potential separation application.

Concentrated functionalization of the polymer side chain is widely considered as an effective structural strategy for improving the properties of anion exchange membranes (AEMs). However, the synthetic process typically involves highly toxic reagents. Herein, a series of poly(arylene ether ketone)s with densely benzyl- N -methylpiperidinium-functionalized hexaphenylbenzene pendants is synthesized, avoiding the demand of highly toxic reagents. The fabricated membranes present pronounced microphase separation resulting from the strong contrast in polarity between the hydrophobic polymer backbone and hydrophilic pendants. In contrast to analogous AEMs, the incorporation of bulky and rigid hexaphenylbenzene moieties enlarges the free volume within the membranes, which significantly enhances water absorption and inhibits dimensional change. Moreover, the presence of piperidinium-based cationic groups considerably enhances the alkaline stability of the membranes. One of the prepared membranes with an ion exchange capacity of 1.31 meq g −1 exhibits water uptake, swelling ratio, and hydroxide conductivity of 67.2%, 14.5%, and 49.2 mS cm −1 at 80 °C, respectively. The loss of conductivity is less than 6% after immersion in a 4 M KOH aqueous solution at 30 °C for 480 h. Additionally, a maximum power density of 340.1 mW cm −2 is achieved in the H 2 /O 2 single-cell test, indicating promising application potential for the fabricated membranes.

Phosphorylated poly (ethylene- co -vinyl alcohol) (PEVOH) was synthesized and blended with side chain–type sulfonated poly (aryl ether ketone) (SPAEK) to prepare SPAEK proton-exchange membranes with improved physicochemical and electrochemical properties . The results indicate that PEVOH doping helps improve the mechanical properties and proton conductivity of the membranes. The addition of PEVOH not only enhances proton transport but also provides proton transport channels for the membranes at a high temperature and low humidity, leading to excellent fuel cell performance and low ohmic resistance. The interaction between sulfonic acid and phosphonic acid side chain groups leads to the excellent nano-phase separation under microscopic morphology. This forms a large hydrogen bonding network between the acidic and amphoteric groups, which facilitates proton transport at low relative humidities.

Materials with high adsorption properties and high selectivity are ideal adsorbents for the application of adsorption. Herein, by using tetrabrombisphenol A (TBr-BPA) as the template, a novel COF-based composite (SiO 2 @F-COF@MIP) with directional selectivity and three-dimensional spatial selectivity was developed for the first time. Superior selective adsorption effects of TBr-BPA and family-similar compound (tetrachlorbisphenol, TCl-BPA) can be achieved by using composite as the adsorbent. Firstly, to verify the performance of the composite, the selective adsorption effects of F-COF, SiO 2 -NH 2 , SiO 2 -NH 2 @F-COF and SiO 2 @F-COF@MIP on TBr-BPA, TCl-BPA and competing compounds were investigated and compared. Results showed that SiO 2 @F-COF@MIP had extremely high selective adsorption capacities for TBr-BPA and TCl-BPA with the maximal adsorption capacities of 653.2 and 158.8 mg·g −1 , respectively. Secondly, by using computer simulation and experiments analysis, the mechanisms of SiO 2 @F-COF@MIP for the highly selective adsorption were explored. Results revealed the selective adsorption of TBr-BPA on SiO 2 @F-COF@MIP was mainly based on halogen bond interaction, three-dimensional space selectivity effect coupled with hydrogen bond and electrostatic interactions. The selective adsorption of TCl-BPA was mainly based on three-dimensional space selectivity, hydrogen bond and electrostatic interactions. Finally, SiO 2 @F-COF@MIP was used as the adsorbent for the enrichment of TBr-BPA and TCl-BPA in actual water and fish samples, and satisfactory recoveries were obtained, proving that SiO 2 @F-COF@MIP has great application prospect in high selective enrichment.
