The excellent combined properties of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) make it a promising biodegradable plastic. However, the lack of functionality and low impact strength limit its application. Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) was introduced to prepare new high-performance and functional poly(butylene succinate)-b-poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PBS-b-PDMS) in this work. The resulting PBS-b-PDMS was found to possess high molecular weight, narrow molecular weight distribution, and excellent combined performance. PBS-b-PDMS had good thermal properties. The decomposition temperature of 5% weight loss (T5%) increased from 324 to 344 °C, and the temperatures at the maximum weight loss rate (Tmax) values increased from 385.1 to 396.7 °C. The impact strength increased significantly from 7.8 kJ/m2 of PBS to 53.9 kJ/m2 of PBS-b-PDMS. As the PDMS block endows copolymers with low surface energy and good liquid resistance, PBS-b-PDMS has excellent antismudge, self-cleaning, and solvent resistance. Finally, to minimize the surface energy, PDMS blocks preferentially enrich the surface, which imparts the polymers with self-cleaning properties.

The development of porous carbon materials with high CO 2 adsorption capacity is crucial for addressing the current issues of industrial air pollution and global warming. In this study, B/N codoped porous carbon materials were prepared via a combined strategy involving the use of a self-sacrificing template in conjunction with potassium hydroxide activation; moreover, g-C 3 N 4 was used as the N source and boric acid was used as the B source. The pore structure and surface chemistry were investigated in detail using different techniques such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, N 2 adsorption and desorption, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Results showed that the prepared material exhibited the highest specific surface area (2278 m 2 /g) and pore volume (1.00 cm 3 /g) when the ratio of B/N sources was 1:0.5; moreover, its CO 2 adsorption value (3.26 mmol/g) was higher than those of most codoped adsorbents.

In this study, the supernatant extract from fermentation broth of Streptomyces sp. NEAU-H3 showed strong antifungal activity against Fusarium graminearum strain PH-1 in vitro and in vivo. Three known pyranonaphthoquinones were isolated by means of an activity-guided method, and frenolicin B was characterized as the main active ingredient. Frenolicin B displayed strong antifungal activity against F. graminearum strain PH-1 with an EC50 value of 0.51 mg/L, which is lower than that of carbendazim (0.78 mg/L) but higher than that of phenamacril (0.18 mg/L). Frenolicin B could also strongly inhibit the mycelial growth of Fusarium species, including F. graminearum and F. asiaticum, as well as carbendazim-resistant Fusarium strains isolated from field, with EC50 values of 0.25–0.92 mg/L. Results from field experiments showed that the efficacy of frenolicin B in controlling Fusarium head blight at a treatment concentration of 75 g ai/ha was better than those of phenamacril (375 g ai/ha) and carbendazim (600 g ai/ha) or had no significant difference with that of phenamacril (375 g ai/ha) in 2 years. Scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope observations revealed that after treating F. graminearum mycelia with frenolicin B, the mycelia appeared aberrant and had an uneven thickness and swelling, the cytoplasm had disintegrated, and some cell contents were lost. Transcriptome analysis suggests that frenolicin B might inhibit the metabolism of nucleotides and energy by affecting genes involved in phosphorus utilization but did not affect the expression of myosin 5, which is the specific target of phenamacril. These findings indicate that frenolicin B may be a potential agrochemical fungicide for controlling Fusarium head blight.

A Sb-doped SnO 2 anode modified with Ni and B was fabricated by the sol–gel method. The effect of major operation parameters of electrode preparation, such as Ni content, B content, and calcination temperature, on the mineralization degree of phenol was investigated. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the experimental conditions and evaluate the association between various operation parameters. The morphology, crystal structure, and electrocatalytic performance of the prepared SnO 2 –Sb–Ni–B anodes were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The optimized sol–gel preparation ratio of citric acid, ethylene glycol, tin tetrachloride, antimony trichloride, nickel chloride, and boric acid was 650:200:100:6.5:0.5:2, and the calcination temperature of the electrode was 550 °C. The SnO 2 –Sb–Ni–B anode has the highest oxygen evolution potential of 1.63 V (vs. Hg 2 /Hg 2 SO 4 ). The removal degree of phenol reached 58% within 2 h on the SnO 2 –Sb–Ni–B anode. The accelerated lifetime of the selected SnO 2 –Ni–B anode was 720 min, which was carried out in a 3-mol/L sulfuric acid solution with a current density of 500 mA/cm 2 .

Quick and visual detection of component contents, such as water, in a mixed solvent is important for many practical applications, and a full range detection is especially preferred. In this work, a carbon dots based ratiometric fluorescent sensor was synthesized by grafting fluorescent group (Rhodamine B, RhB) on carbon dots, and the dual emission peaks exhibited a linear ratiometric response with the change of polarity and hydrogen bond of Solvent Hansen solubility parameters. This responsive behavior is attributed to surface state photoluminescence mechanisms, and has been used for the quantitative detection of water content in ethanol with an excellent linear relationship (R 2 = 0.996), a low detection limit (0.2%), and a full detection range (0–100%). Furthermore, a paper-based ratiometric fluorescence sensing strip is also demonstrated, which exhibits good storage stability and sensitivity. This study suggests that RhB grafted carbon dots could be feasibly and effectively used as ratiometric fluorescent sensors for solvent content detection.

Proper interface and band alignment always play essential roles in the separation of photoexcited charge of photocatalysts. In this work, we prepared a homodispersed S-scheme carbon nitride homojunction with local electron structure difference by a facile pre-doping and two-step calcination approach. Boron doping into heptazine created extra acceptor impurity, and phosphorus doping into heptazine created extra donor impurity, which eventually modulated the electronic structure of carbon nitride. As heptazines with different element doping were integrated into carbon nitride by recalcination, B–CN and P–CN formed a homodispersed homojunction and thus produced a rich interface. Meanwhile, caused by Fermi energy levels equilibrium, the band bending constructed an S-scheme homojunction, which stimulated photogenerated electrons to transfer from CB of B–CN to VB of P–CN. The homodispersed S-scheme homojunction structure led to efficient suppression of recombination of photoinduced charge and retained stronger redox charge. Consequently, the photocatalytic performance was dramatically boosted to 2620 μmol g −1 from 60 μmol g −1 of pure CN in 4-h hydrogen evolution from water. This novel method for electron structure engineering helped to provide a new strategy for designing homojunction photocatalysts with excellent photocatalytic performance.

Without external O 2 supply and solution pH adjusting, commercial molybdenum sulfide (MoS 2 ) was firstly applied as co-catalyst in intermittent electro-Fenton process for Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation. In this energy saving system, Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ conversion was facilitated and H 2 O 2 activating was accelerated by MoS 2 . Granular activated carbon wrapped with stainless steel mesh (GACSS) was used as cathode, from which, H 2 O 2 and iron sources were in-situ generated. With 0.1 g/L MoS 2 , and 50 mA applied current with 10 min on-10 min off power frequency, RhB degradation rate constant in the MoS 2 intermittent electro-Fenton was approximately 2.4 times as that without MoS 2 system. Quenching experiments, electron spin resonance (ESR) characterization and free radical fluorescence tests demonstrated hydroxyl radicals (·OH) was the dominant reactive species, and the superiority of intermittent electrolysis mode for RhB degradation. During power on, H 2 O 2 was constantly generated on cathode. In electricity interval, Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ conversion was accelerated on the active sites (Mo 4+ ) to activate residual H 2 O 2 and more ·OH was generated to RhB degradation. Additionally, the characterization analysis (XPS, SEM and FT-IR) demonstrated MoS 2 and GACSS cathode exhibited excellent catalytic and chemical stability in recyclability . Low-cost multifunctional cathode with a high efficiency co-catalyst was combined in this energy saving electro-Fenton operating system for RhB degradation.

Ag 2 WO 4 is a typically noble metal based photocatalyst with highly efficient photocatalytic activity. However, due to photocorrosion, the pristine Ag 2 WO 4 is prone to inactivation during illumination. Constructing composite photocatalyst may be a useful method to promote the stability of Ag 2 WO 4 . In this work, Ag 2 WO 4 /graphitic carbon nitride nanotubes (g-C 3 N 4 NTs) composite photocatalyst was prepared by adopting an in-situ composite strategy. The photocatalytic performance of the samples was discussed by the degradation of rhodamine B under visible light, and the catalytic mechanism was also analyzed. The characterization results show that the photocatalytic efficiency of the as-prepared Ag 2 WO 4 /g-C 3 N 4 NTs composite increases firstly and then decreases along with the increase of the Ag 2 WO 4 content. When the theoretical molar ratio of Ag 2 WO 4 :g-C 3 N 4 NTs reaches 3:2, the photocatalytic degradation efficiency achieves the optimal value, that is 92.4% within 20 min, which obviously exceeds 2.8% of pure Ag 2 WO 4 and 48.9% of pure g-C 3 N 4 NTs. Moreover, the separation and migration efficiency of photoelectron–hole pairs of the composites can be accelerated in comparison with pure samples. In addition, superoxide radicals and hydroxyl radicals play major roles in the photocatalytic degradation process.

The utilization of solar energy is an epitome towards water splitting for hydrogen generation and environmental remediation. For efficient use of solar energy, photocatalysts capable of light-harvesting, with appropriate band energetics, that are inexpensive, stable, and scalable, are desired. Herein, a prototypical cyclotriphosphazene (P3N3)-based covalent inorganic–organic hybrid framework (CIOF) is designed with highly crosslinked aggregation that can produce hydrogen fuel from photocatalytic water splitting, as well as the degradation of industrial waste-water pollutant (rhodamine B). The P3N3-CIOF was synthesized by the aggregation, self-assembly, and subsequent polycondensation of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene, tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane and pyridine, in one-pot under ultrasonication. Morphology and structure of the newly synthesized P3N3-CIOF are characterized through scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, solid-state 31P and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron microscopy, UV-visible absorbance, photoluminescence, and micro-spectrophotometry. The P3N3-CIOF shows selective response to the UV-visible light by emitting bright green (Ex. 365 nm), yellow (Ex. 420 nm), and red (Ex. 546 nm) colors. Moreover, the onset bandgap (2.14 eV) and the potential of the conduction band (−0.26 eV) and valence band (+1.88 eV) straddle the potential range for photocatalytic water splitting and dye degradation. The as-synthesized P3N3-CIOF continuously produced hydrogen fuel (24.5 μmol g−1 h−1) during photocatalytic water splitting for a period of 16 h, using Pt (3 wt%) and triethanolamine as the co-catalyst and holes scavenger, respectively. It also showed photodegradation ability to rhodamine B as a proxy dye to industrial waste-water pollutants. The plausible photocatalytic mechanism is also proposed based on the energetics of the photogenerated excitons, and scavenging experiments. These findings exemplify a critical first step towards photocatalytic hydrogen generation and remediation of organic pollutants through P3N3-CIOF, as well as motivation to engineer new materials based on aggregation-induced phenomena.

The Palladium (Pd) nanoparticles were immobilized on the boron (B), nitrogen (N) doped porous carbon (BNC-50) through replacing cobalt path at room temperature, which was derived from the high-temperature pyrolysis of the modified Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIF) composes coated with 5-boronoisophthalic acid. The Pd nanoparticles could be uniformly dispersed on the BNC-50 supports by replacement reaction to effectively avoid the Pd nanoparticles agglomeration. Meanwhile, the B, N doping can further grapple the palladium nanoparticles with luxuriant activity sites during the loading process. The highly order carbon frameworks also offer more porous paths and interspace to enhance the mass and charge delivery. Therefore, the synthetic catalysis of palladium nanoparticles immobilized on the porous B, N-doped carbon displays excellent activity (Pd/BNC-50) for ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR). The catalytic activities of the Pd/BNC-50 with peak current density (2638.41 mA mg −1 ) are 3.77 times than that of Pd/C in the basic reaction solution.

We test the feasibility of TiO 2 (B)@carbon composites as adsorbents, derived from wheat straws, for tetracycline (TC) adsorption from aqueous solutions. Hydrochar (HC), biochar (BC), and hydrochar-derived pyrolysis char (HDPC) are synthesized hydrothermally from the waste and then functionalized with TiO 2 (B), named as ‘Composite-1′, ‘Composite-2′, and ‘Composite-3′, respectively. A higher loading of TiO 2 (B) into the HC was also synthesized for comparison, named as ‘Composite-4′. To compare their physico-chemical changes before and after surface modification, the composites are characterized using FESEM-EDS, XRD , BET, FRTEM, and FTIR. The effects of H 2 O 2 addition on TC removal are investigated. Adsorption kinetics and isotherms of TC removal are studied, while TC adsorption mechanisms are elaborated. We found that the Composite-4 has the highest TC removal (93%) at pH 7, 1 g/L of dose, and 4 h of reaction time at 50 mg/L of TC after adding H 2 O 2 (10 mM). The TC adsorption capacities of the Composite-1 and Composite-4 are 40.65 and 49.26 mg/g, respectively. The TC removal by the Composite-1 follows the pseudo-second order. Overall, this suggests that converting the wheat straw into HC and then functionalizing its surface with TiO 2 (B) as a composite has added values to the waste as an adsorbent for wastewater treatment .
