Soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), a circulating antiangiogenic protein, is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (AS), and the underlying mechanism is still unclear. Here, we attempted to investigate the mechanism of action of sFlt-1 in AS. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) to induce cell injury. ox-LDL treatment increased LC3-II/LC3-I ratio, Beclin-1 expression and GFP-LC3 puncta in HUVECs, suggesting that ox-LDL may induce autophagic flux impairment in HUVECs. ox-LDL-treated HUVECs displayed a decrease of sFlt-1 levels. Moreover, ox-LDL treatment reduced cell proliferation and elevated apoptosis in HUVECs, which was abrogated by sFlt-1 overexpression. Up-regulation of sFlt-1 repressed the activity of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and enhanced autophagy in HUVECs following ox-LDL treatment. Additionally, sFlt-1 overexpression-mediated increase of autophagy in ox-LDL-treated HUVECs was abolished by 3-methyladenine (autophagy inhibitor). 3-methyladenine abrogated the impact of sFlt-1 overexpression on proliferation and apoptosis in ox-LDL-treated HUVECs. This work confirmed that overexpression of sFlt-1 activated autophagy by repressing PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, and thus alleviated ox-LDL-induced injury of HUVECs. Therefore, this study suggests that sFlt-1 may be a potential target for AS treatment.

s Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have received tremendous interest due to their structural diversity and versatility. These unique physicochemical properties make them exhibit great application potential in the field of electrochemical sensor. In this study, an imine bond-linked COF with porosity and large specific surface area was fabricated by a dehydration condensation reaction between 1, 3, 5-tris(4-formylphenyl)benzene (TFPB) and 1, 3, 5-tris(4-aminophenyl) benzene (TAPB) and combined with high electrical conductivity of oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotube (Ox-MWCNT). The structure of the COF and the resulted composite material were confirmed through a series of characterization techniques, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis , then a co-modified glassy carbon electrode was constructed for simple, sensitive and selective electrochemical recognition of dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA). The fabricated electrochemical sensor displayed a strong current response to both DA and UA in the phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at pH = 6.5. The synergistic effect between COFs and Ox-MWCNT effectively improved the analytical sensitivity for the target analytes. Under optimized experimental conditions, the method showed good performance for DA and UA in the concentration range of 0.6–250.0 μM with low detection limits of 0.073 μM and 0.063 μM (S/N = 3), respectively. Moreover, the proposed sensor exhibited high selectivity , longtime stability, desirable repeatability and acceptable reproducibility and can be used to analyze simultaneously DA and UA in biological and medicine samples with satisfactory results. Our work not only provides a simple way to detect DA and UA quantitatively in real samples, but also offers a new platform for COF-based composite application in electrochemical sensing .

A novel redox polymer comprised of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid-Ni 2+ (EDTA-Ni) complex serving as doping anions has been synthesised by a facile one-step electrochemical approach and utilized as an efficient electrode material for sensitive luteolin detection. The morphology, chemical structure and composition of the redox polymer were analyzed by SEM, UV-vis and FT-IR spectrum. Electrochemical tests revealed that the redox polymer was highly electrochemically reversible and exhibited good electrocatalytic activity to the redox reactions of luteolin with a linear range covering from 1 nM to 10 µM with a low detection limit of 0.3 nM of luteolin.

Aniline in landfill leachate was used as a target pollutant and treated by a catalytic ozonation process (COP). The catalyst was based on waste iron shavings, which were oxidatively modified to form an iron-based ozonation catalyst (FOC), and subsequently compressed into an iron-based packing for catalyzing the ozonolysis of aniline (FCOP). The special porous structure of the compressed packing material enhanced the decomposition of O 3 . FCOP achieved 93% removal of aniline from the simulated wastewater, which was significantly better than the ozonation alone process (OOP). At low pH (<3), the removal of aniline relied on the endo-Fenton mechanism due to the presence of Fe 2+ and H 2 O 2 . At high pH (>5), aniline was removed by the COP mechanism. At the FOC surface, electron transfer facilitated ozonolysis to produce •OH radicals, which simultaneously produced Fe 2+ oxidation and Fe 3+ reduction, establishing a redox cycle. The main role of -OH in the FCOP system and the aniline degradation pathway were determined using EPR and related techniques. FCOP is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly process that can be used to treat aniline in the future.

Specific energy and self-discharge are two important performances of electrochemical capacitors. In this work, we have fabricated the composite electrodes by complexing the negatively charged carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (cMWCNT) with the redox active units-containing positively charged random copolymers. 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidinyl- N -oxyl and viologen are employed as model redox active units to exemplify the strategy of the concurrent increase of specific energy and suppression of self-discharge of a two-electrode device. The slower hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions compared with the reactions of the redox active units lead to an increased electrolyte decomposition window, thereby giving rise to an increase in specific energy. On the other hand, the complexation between the cMWCNT and the copolymers suppresses both the redox shuttling and the cross-diffusion of the redox active units-containing polymer chains, leading to an improved performance of self-discharge. Based on the complexation between carbon nanotubes and redox active units-containing charged copolymers, this work provides a convenient and universal strategy to concurrently increase specific energy and suppress self-discharge of electrochemical capacitors.

Ferrous ion (Fe 2+ ) can indicate the redox situation of water and also plays an important role in maintaining the ecological balance of water bodies. However, due to the redox-active property of Fe 2+ , it is still a huge challenge to sensitively and accurately determine Fe 2+ especially in interstitial water. Herein, we prepared a ferrozine gel rod for valence fixation during sampling and subsequent smartphone-based detection of Fe 2+ . The electrode potential of the redox pair can be varied through the formation of Fe 2+ -ligand complexes, and when E complex was higher than E O 2 / OH − , the oxidation of Fe 2+ by O 2 was hindered, thus achieving the valence fixation of Fe 2+ . Six ligands were screened, and it was found that ferrozine could effectively increase the redox potential after complexing with Fe 2+ , and also exhibits an obvious color change while fixing the valence of Fe 2+ . To facilitate Fe 2+ detection, a cross-linked porous polymer gel rod prepared by acrylamide and sodium alginate was used to encapsulate the ferrozine molecules. The ferrozine gel rod enabled fixation the valence of Fe 2+ longer than 30 days, and the resulted purple-red color was pictured and analyzed by a smartphone. Ultimately, the developed ferrozine gel rod sensing system was able to achieve sensitive and linear detection of Fe 2+ in the range of 1–200 μM with the limit of detection as low as 0.33 μM, and it also exhibited excellent selectivity and anti-interference ability. The accuracy and reliability of the method was verified by the determination of Fe 2+ in spiked water samples and certified standard reference water samples. Finally, the ferrozine gel rod sensing system was successfully applied to in-situ detection of Fe 2+ in interstitial water, overlying water and upper water of lake and river. This facile system that enabled valence fixation and fast detection is promising for detection of Fe 2+ in environmental waters.

Acid sites and redox sites with high thermal stability are crucial for the NH 3 -SCR catalyst for diesel vehicles. The surface acidity of FeTi catalysts is improved by modified with the solid acid of PO 4 3- or WO 3 . The acid-modified FeTi catalysts show superior NH 3 -SCR activity hydrothermal stability with a wide temperature window. The introduction of acid groups not only provides a large number of Brønsted acid sites but also promotes high dispersion of the active species of redox sites due to the formation of the structure P-O-Fe/W-O-Fe. The P-O-Fe/W-O-Fe structure can also improve the redox properties of the FeTi catalysts and inhibit the phase transformation of the TiO 2 support during high-temperature hydrothermal process. The reaction kinetics indicate that the reaction rate is primarily related to the concentration of NO. The mechanistic study indicates that the catalytic reaction is primarily governed by the Eley-Rideal mechanism.

The high energy density and low cost of sulfur make lithium–sulfur batteries one of the most promising candidates for the next generation of energy storage. Nevertheless, the application is still hampered by the shuttle effect of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) intermediates and slow redox kinetics, resulting in irreversible loss of the active material, severe self-discharge and poor cycle stability of the electrode. Therefore, in this work, a novel Mo,N co-doped porous carbon (Mo,N−C) was successfully synthesized by simply calcining a mixture of ramie degumming waste with cost-effective molybdenum salt, and then employed as the LiPSs anchor. Due to the conductive carbon matrix, abundant porous structures as well as the doping Mo and N heteroatoms, the sluggish redox kinetic of the cathode has been significantly improved and the shuttle phenomenon of LiPSs has been effectively inhibited, consequently, the as-prepared Mo,N−C/S-0.4 composite cathode could demonstrate a good initial capacity of 1379.2 mAh g −1 at 0.2 C, and the reversible capacity could remain at 997.5 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles. Even at a high discharge rate of 1.0 C, the capacity could remain at 700.2 mAh g −1 after 400 cycles. This work provides a new avenue for utilizing waste biomass in clean energy storage.

Iron and organic carbon (OC) biogeochemical cycling is highly correlated, and dissolved organic matter (DOM), a highly reactive component of soil and water environments, is the main OC source. However, the micro-mechanism of the molecular fractionation of DOM, the spatial OC distribution on iron (oxyhydr)oxides, and how these factors further affect their redox properties remain to be fully understood. Therefore, this study investigated the DOM adsorption properties of iron (oxyhydr)oxides with different crystallinities at the molecular level through the Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) and transmission electron microscopy/electron energy loss spectroscopy (TEM–EELS) analyses of the liquid-solid phases. Owing to the limited number of adsorption sites, OC sequestration on goethite and hematite surfaces generally followed an “onion” model, in the order of preference of aromatic, aliphatic, and carboxylic acid-rich compounds. Combined with dielectric electrochemical tests and charge differential density calculations, the results revealed that the complexation effect produced by iron ions increased the electron-accepting capacity (EAC) of the DOM remaining in the aqueous solution. In contrast, molecular selective adsorption and oxidative polymerization significantly enhanced the EAC of DOM adsorbed on the surface fraction of iron (oxyhydr)oxides. These findings help elucidate the mechanism of OC sequestration by iron (oxyhydr)oxides. The increased EAC may affect various biogeochemical processes, such as methane production and microbial Fe(III) reduction, facilitating the prediction of OC cycling in natural environments.

Hollow-ZSM-5 was synthesized by a traditional hydrothermal method without alcohol, and a novel na-no-sized Ce-Cu/hollow ZSM-5 sample was prepared by conventional incipient wetness impreganation. The catalysts were characterized by TEM, SEM, XRD, NMR and N 2 adsorption-desorption. The results indicate that the hollow-ZSM-5 has a good MFI structure with large surface area. The synthesized CeO 2 -CuO/hollow ZSM-5 showed an excellent catalytic activity for NO x conversion(90% NO x conversion were obtained) in the temperature range of 340–550 °C under GHSV=480000 mL·g ‒1 ·h ‒1 due to its appropriate redox ability and acidity.

Herein, poly(2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl ferrocene carboxylate- co -(methacrylohydroxyhexane azobenzene)s) (P(FHEMA- co -MAZOHE)s) were prepared by random copolymerization and were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) to confirm the structures and molecular weights respectively. Thermal variations were analyzed by thermogravimetric (TG), differential thermogravimetric (DTG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques. Finally, redox and photo stimuli-responsive properties were confirmed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis) respectively. The results revealed that (P(FHEMA- co -MAZOHE)s) can be useful as information storage materials.

Alkylphenol polyethoxylates (APEO n ) are the second-largest category of commercial nonionic surfactants, which are difficult to degrade naturally in the environment. This study examined the degradation of octylphenol polyethoxylate (OPEO n ) by laccase and its laccase-mediated systems. The results showed that OPEO n was poorly degraded by laccase alone. 2, 2′-azino-bis [3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid] (ABTS), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT), and 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) were selected as the redox mediators. Experimental results also indicated that 52.4% of the initial OPEO n amount was degraded by laccase in the presence of TEMPO. The degradation efficiency was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography. Furthermore, the structural characteristics of the degradation products were measured using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and it could be found that the laccase-TEMPO system could gradually shorten the ethoxylate chain by oxidizing the primary hydroxyl group of OPEO n , thereby degrading the OPEO n of the macromolecule into small molecules. The maximum of the ion peak distributions of OPEO n decreased from n = 8 finally down to 3. The novel enzymatic system introduced by this study will become a promising alternative method for high-efficiency APEO n conversion and had great potential value in wastewater treatment.
