In this work, a layered nanocomposite with a superior adsorption ability has been designed and prepared for the preconcentration of Eu(III), a chemical analogue of trivalent lanthanides [Ln(III)] and actinides [An(III)] in nuclear waste. This nanocomposite was obtained by fabricating magnesium silicate (MgSi) of the Talc-phase Mg 3 Si 4 O 9 (OH) 10 on graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets, in which the GO matrix can effectively avoid the agglomeration of MgSi. A hierarchical structure of GO@MgSi with interwoven nano-sized MgSi lamellae dispersedly standing on the surface of GO was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Such a hierarchical structure effectively increases the surface area of MgSi, leading to up to date the highest adsorption capacity (344.82 mg·L −1 ) for enriching Eu(III). Powder X-ray diffraction pattern (PXRD) of Mg 3 Si 4 O 9 (OH) 10 shows that the (0 2 0) and (2 0 0) diffraction peaks disappear after the adsorption of Eu(III), indicating structural changes in MgSi lamellae after adsorption. The infrared absorption spectra (IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements confirm the structural transformations in the Si O tetrahedral and Mg OH octahedral sheet in MgSi, suggesting that MgSi lamella rather than GO sheet might play a dominant role during the adsorption process. The superior adsorption behaviors of GO@MgSi indicate that it is a highly promising and efficient candidate for Eu(III) preconcentration in aqueous solution.

The pressing demand for ultrathin and flexible shields to counter electromagnetic interference (EMI) has sparked interest in Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene materials due to their exceptional electrical conductivity, tunable surface chemistry, and layered structure. However, pure Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene films often lack the mechanical properties required for practical engineering applications, and traditional reinforcement methods tend to reduce electrical conductivity. This work demonstrates an effective strategy to enhance the alignment and densely packed layered structure of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene films by regulating the acidity and alkalinity of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene aqueous solutions. This approach simultaneously improves mechanical strength and electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE). Compared with original Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene films, MXene films modified with ammonia solution (NH 3 ·H 2 O) via OH − show a significant improvement in tensile strength (27.7 ± 1.9 MPa). Meanwhile, MXene films treated with hydrochloric acid (HCl) via H + reach an even higher tensile strength of 39 ± 1.5 MPa. Moreover, the EMI SE values of the treated MXene films increase significantly, each reaching 66.2 and 58.4 dB. The maximum improvements in EMI SE values for the acid- and alkali-treated samples are 17.9% and 4%, respectively. In conclusion, the simultaneous enhancement of mechanical strength and EMI shielding efficacy highlights the potential of acid- and alkali-treated Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene films for applications in ultrathin and flexible EMI shielding materials.

Constructing an environmentally friendly and efficient electrocatalyst holds important and profound significance for energy-efficient hydrogen production. Replacing the oxygen evolution reaction with a lower potential urea oxidation reaction (UOR) may save energy in water electrolysis to produce hydrogen. The UOR is characterized by its high energy barrier, which results in slow reaction kinetics. In this study, we introduced Ba(OH)2 into Ni(OH)2 to form uniform nanosheets. Due to the introduction of Ba2+, the lattice expansion of Ni(OH)2 was triggered, leading to significant improvement in UOR activity. The catalyst achieved a current density of 100 mA cm−2 at only 1.316 V and exhibited remarkable stability over time. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that the Ba–Ni(OH)2 site significantly reduces the energy barrier for urea adsorption, intermediate steps, and desorption. This work provides a novel and environmentally friendly strategy for constructing energy-efficient and highly efficient catalysts through the doping of alkaline earth metals.

Photocatalytic technology has been recently conducted to remove microbial contamination due to its unique features of nontoxic by-products, low cost, negligible microbial resistance and broad-spectrum elimination capacity. Herein, a novel two dimensional (2D) g-C3N4/Bi(OH)3(CNB) heterojunction was fabricated byincorporating Bi(OH)3(BOH) nanoparticles with g-C3N4(CN) nanosheets. This CNB heterojunction exhibited high photocatalytic antibacterial efficiency (99.3%) againstEscherichia coli(E. coli) under visible light irradiation, which was 4.3 and 3.4 times that of BOH (23.0%) and CN (28.0%), respectively. The increase in specific surface area, ultra-thin layered structure, construction of a heterojunction and enhancement of visible light absorption were conducive to facilitating the separation and transfer of photoinduced charge carriers. Live/dead cell staining, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) assays and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have been implemented to investigate the damage to the cell membrane and the leakage of the intracellular protein in the photocatalytic antibacterial process. The e−, h+and O2•−were the active species involved in this process. This study proposed an appropriate photocatalyst for efficient treatment of bacterial contamination.

Heavy metal ions such as Cu 2+ and Pb 2+ impose a significant risk to the environment and human health due to their high toxicity and non-degradable characteristics. Herein, Al(OH) 3 -polyacrylamide chemically modified with dithiocarbamates (Al-PAM-DTCs) was synthesized using formaldehyde, diethylenetriamine, carbon disulfide, and sodium hydroxide for rapid and efficient removal of Cu 2+ and Pb 2+ . The synthesized adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis, and transmission electron microscope measurements. Al-PAM-DTCs showed rapid removal of Cu 2+ (<30 min) and Pb 2+ (<15 min) with high adsorption capacities of 416.959 mg/g and 892.505 mg/g for Cu 2+ and Pb 2+ respectively. Al-PAM-DTCs also had high capacities in removing suspended solids and metal ions simultaneously in turbid bauxite suspensions. FTIR, thermodynamic study, and elemental mapping were used to determine the adsorption mechanism. The rapid, convenient, and effective adsorption of Cu 2+ and Pb 2+ indicated that Al-PAM-DTCs has great potential for practical applications in purification of other heavy metal ions from aquatic systems. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Image-guided phototherapy is considered to be a prospective technique for cancer treatment because it can provide both oncotherapy and bioimaging, thus achieving an optimized therapeutic efficacy and higher treatment accuracy. Compared to complicated systems with multiple components, using a single material for this multifunctional purpose is preferable. In this work, we strategically fabricated poly(acrylic acid)- (PAA-) coated Cu2(OH)PO4 quantum dots [denoted as Cu2(OH)PO4@PAA QDs], which exhibit a strong near-infrared photoabsorption ability. As a result, an excellent photothermal conversion ability and the photoactivated formation of reactive oxygen species could be realized upon NIR irradiation, concurrently meeting the basic requirements for photothermal and photodynamic therapies. Moreover, phototherapeutic investigations on both cervical cancer cells in vitro and solid tumors of an in vivo mice model illustrated the effective antitumor effects of Cu2(OH)PO4@PAA upon 1064-nm laser irradiation, with no detectable lesions in major organs during treatment. Meanwhile, Cu2(OH)PO4@PAA is also an exogenous contrast for photoacoustic tomography (PAT) imaging to depict tumors under NIR irradiation. In brief, the Cu2(OH)PO4@PAA QDs prepared in this work are expected to serve as a multifunctional theranostic platform.

Abstract A novel Co(OH) 2 /glassy carbon electrode (GCE) has been fabricated via metal–organic framework (MOF)-directed method. In the strategy, the Co(BTC, 1,3,5-benzentricarboxylic acid) MOFs/GCE was firstly prepared by alternately immersing GCE in Co 2+ and BTC solution based on a layer-by-layer method. And then, the Co(OH) 2 with hierarchical flake nanostructure/GCE was constructed by immersing Co(BTC) MOFs/GCE into 0.1 M NaOH solution at room temperature. Such strategy improves the distribution of hierarchical Co(OH) 2 nanostructures on electrode surface greatly, enhances the stability of nanomaterials on the electrode surface, and increases the use efficiency of the Co(OH) 2 nanostructures. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectra were used to characterize the Co(BTC) MOFs/GCE and Co(OH) 2 /GCE. Based on the hierarchical Co(OH) 2 nanostructures/GCE, a novel and sensitive nonenzymatic glucose sensor was developed. The good performance of the resulted sensor toward the detection of glucose was ascribed to hierarchical flake nanostructures, good mechanical stability, excellent distribution, and large specific surface area of Co(OH) 2 nanostructures. The proposed preparation method is simple, efficient, and cheap . Graphical Abstract

The present report describes the synthesis of a hydroxyl terminal PAMAM dendrimer (PAMAM-OH) derivative (PAMSPF). The hydroxyls of PAMAM-OH were attached to S-Methyl- l -cysteine (SMLC) via an acid-labile ester bond, named as β-thiopropionate bond, followed by modification with folic acid (FA) through a polyethylene glycol (PEG) linker. The degrees of attachment of SMLC and FA to the PAMAM-OH backbone were 83.9% and 12.8%, respectively. PAMSPF could condense DNA to form spherical nanoparticles with particle sizes of ∼200 nm and remain stable in the presence of heparin and nuclease . The β-thiopropionate bond in PAMSPF was hydrolyzed completely and the DNA release rate was 95.8 ± 3.3% after incubation under mildly acidic conditions at 37 °C for 3 h. PAMSPF/DNA was less cytotoxic to KB and HepG2 cells and exhibited a higher gene transfection efficiency than native PAMAM/DNA. The uptake assays showed that PAMSPF/DNA entered KB cells within 0.5 h through folate receptor-mediated endocytosis and escaped from endosomes within 2 h. In addition, PAMSPF/DNA displayed long circulation time along with excellent targeting of tumor sites in vivo. These findings demonstrate that PAMSPF is an excellent carrier for safe and effective gene delivery.

The first lead tellurate–nitrate nonlinear-optical (NLO) crystal, Pb9Te2O13(OH)(NO3)3, featuring a 3D anionic diamondlike toplogical structural motif formulated as [Pb9O13]8– constructed by unique nonanuclear basket-shaped Pb@Pb8O14 clusters has been hydrothermally achieved, in which the Pb@Pb8O14 cluster shows a core–shell structure with one PbO10 polyhedron enclosed by eight PbOx (x = 3 and 4) polyhedera via edge and face sharing. The hexavalent Te in TeO5(OH) octahedra is linked to a [Pb9O13]8– cluster to form a rare [Pb9Te2O13(OH)]3+ cationic framework. The compound demonstrates a powder second-harmonic-generation (SHG) response of about 1.2 times that of KH2PO4 (KDP) as well as a wide transparency range. Calculations on the local dipole moment and SHG coefficient reveal that the net polarization is zero because of a Kleinman-forbidden point group. Further analysis shows that the SHG response results from structure-induced variations by thermal vibrations of the lattice rather than the intrinsic dipole moment, which offers another insight on the design of new NLO materials.

α-Ni(OH) 2 nanosheets were prepared at room temperature on ultra large scale through a solvent-free reaction. The nanosheets were obtained by grinding the mixture of nickel nitrate hexahydrate and morpholine in a mortar for 5 min. The maximum capacity of production in single batch was only limited by volume of the vessels used in preparation. The as-prepared nanosheets exhibited the highest specific capacitance of 2080.8 F g −1 at discharge current density of 0.6 A g −1 in a 6 mol l −1 KOH aqueous solution. The nanosheets also presented other high electrochemical performances such as nearly 100% coulombic efficiency, excellent rate capacity and high stability. These results indicated that the α-Ni(OH) 2 nanosheets can be used as a high performance electrochemical material for application in supercapacitor .

The application of MgO/Mg(OH) 2 in heat storage technology has been limited due to slow hydration rate and easy agglomeration. In this paper, nanoporous carbon particle (NCP) as a carrier was used to prepare NCP/MgO chemical heat storage composite materials by impregnation and calcination methods, respectively. The microstructure characterization, hydration reaction, and simultaneous thermogravimetric analysis experiments were carried out on the prepared composite materials. The results showed that the internal distribution of MgO in the composite material prepared by calcination method was more uniform, and the particle size of MgO was smaller. Under the conditions of 110 ℃ hydration temperature and 57.8 kPa water vapor partial pressure, the hydration conversion ratio of the composite material prepared by calcination method after 120 min of hydration conversion ratio reached 93 %, which was 17.7 % higher than that of the impregnated composite material and 50 % higher than that of pure MgO. Under the comprehensive influence of specific surface area, pore structure, and active component particle size, compared with pure materials and impregnated composite materials, the dehydration rate of the composite material prepared by calcination method at 300 ℃ was twice that of impregnated method and 6 times that of pure MgO, and the heat storage density reached 1039kJ/kg. After 10 cycles, the heat storage density still maintained an initial state of 95.8 %. Compared with pure materials and impregnated composite materials, NCP/MgO composite materials prepared by calcination method had better heat storage performance and higher cyclic stability.

In this study, Cu(OH)F nanoparticles are prepared through a simple hydrothermal reaction and their effects on the thermal oxidation and ignition characteristics of micron-sized Al powder (μ-Al) are explored for the first time. Thermal analysis in air atmosphere (50∼1050 °C) shows that compared to raw μ-Al, the normalized weight gain of Al in Al-Cu(OH)F increases by about 36.9%, 64.8%, and 106.3% when the added Cu(OH)F is 1 wt%, 3 wt%, and 5 wt%, respectively. After mixed with NH 4 ClO 4 , electric ignition and open-air combustion tests show shortened ignition delay time (by 42.6%∼63.8%) and increased maximum light intensity (by 48.9%∼117.8%) for Al-Cu(OH)F. The effects of Cu(OH)F result from its decomposition products, namely, HF and CuO. HF reacts with alumina shell to form AlF 3 , which sublimes at high temperature and thus exposes Al core instantly, while CuO can react with Al core to release heat, further facilitating the thermal oxidation and ignition processes.
