Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has been widely applied in many research fields such as biological detection and chemical analysis. However, for the common Au nanoparticles, it’s too hard to guarante the three aspects: the great enhanced effect, the controllable aggregation and the uniformity of nanoparticles, the environmental friendliness and biocompatibility of nanoparticles. In this paper, phytate acid (IP6)-coated Au nanoparticles (IP6@Au NPs) are more stable and have a higher enhancement factor than Au nanoparticles. In order to achieve the uniformity of the spherical IP6-coated@Au nanoparticles (IP6@Au NPs), IP6 was used as a soft template. In the presence of IP6, IP6@Ag nanoparticles were first synthesized by reducing AgNO 3 with trisodium citrate, then IP6@Au NPs were obtained by reducing HAuCl 4 with Ag nanoparticles. The IP6@Au NPs exhibit excellent Raman signal enhancement by using p-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) as the probe molecules. The effects of Fe 3+ on the performance of IP6@Au NPs SERS substrates were also studied. The results show that SERS has the best enhancement effect when adding proper amount of Fe 3+ (0.56 PPM), and the limit of detection was 10 −7 M 4-ATP.

In this study, a novel Cu 0 -Cu 2 O@CNTs composite was synthesized, characterized and applied to activate peroxydisulfate (PDS) for the degradation of 2, 4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in contaminated lake water. The results indicated that Cu 0 -Cu 2 O@CNTs can effectively activate PDS to produce O 2 • − radical, which has high selectivity to degrade organic pollutants in actual contaminated water. The efficiency of 2,4-DCP degradation and mineralization was 99.27% and 66.90%, respectively under the optimal condition. In the presence of Cl − , HCO 3 − and natural organic matters (NOMs) or in real wastewater containing 2,4-DCP, Cu 0 -Cu 2 O@CNTs/PDS system had a good selectivity for 2,4-DCP degradation. O 2 • − was the dominant reactive species in Cu 0 -Cu 2 O@CNTs/PDS system for 2,4-DCP degradation. The possible degradation pathway of 2,4-DCP was proposed. It was concluded that Cu 0 -Cu 2 O@CNTs composite could overcome the shortcomings of PDS activation by Cu 0 and Cu 2 O alone, such as low activating capability of Cu 0 and instability of Cu 2 O, which was high efficient for activating PDS. Cu 0 -Cu 2 O@CNTs composite can be used as an efficient catalyst to activate PDS for the degradation of toxic organic pollutants in water and wastewater.

For Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) solar cells, eliminating multi-layer crystallization is a key issue of achieving high quality CZTSSe absorber layers and high cell performance. In this work, the formation mechanism of the multi-layer crystallization is revealed, that is, the reaction between CZTS and Mo may give the secondary phase, which subsequently acts as crystal nucleus to facilitate the CZTSSe crystal growth at back interface (Mo/CZTSSe), leading to multi-layer crystallization. By introducing MoO 3 isolating layer, this undesired reaction can be well prevented, and high quality single-layer crystals are obtained. This absorber film with fewer defects and secondary phases exhibits better semiconductor properties . Based on this regulated CZTSSe absorber layer, 11.68% (active area: 0.16092 cm 2 ) and 10.69% (mask area: 0.17586 cm 2 ) certified power-conversion-efficiency have been achieved with significant increase in the open-circuit voltage and fill factor.

In this study, N-doped platelet-like metal-loaded Zr/SBA-15 was synthesized and employed for reducing 4-nitrophenol to remove this contaminant from water. Dopamine hydrochloride was used as a novel CN source for the modification of ZrSBA-15. The N doping process occurred readily at a low temperature due to the polymerization of dopamine, which could save energy and simplify the experimental fabrication of catalysts. In addition, polydopamine can immobilize Pd ions in a facile manner and the trapped Pd ions are reduced to Pd nanoparticles due to the reducibility of the polydopamine polymer. The utilization of dopamine allows the catalyst to be obtained in a facile and cost-effective synthetic process, while the production of the CN layer as well as the reduction and immobilization of the Pd ions can occur simultaneously. Characterization of the product showed that the catalyst had a platelet-like structure after decoration with elemental Zr, which enhanced the catalytic reaction compared with the natural fiber-like SBA-15. The optimal Pd loading capacity was determined as ~3.0 wt% and the materials obtained could reduce 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol within 120 s with a conversion ratio above 90%.

R -2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)propionicacid (HPOPA) is a valuable intermediate for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure aryloxyphenoxypropionic acid herbicides. In this work, to improve the HPOPA biosynthesis by Beauveria bassiana ZJB16002 from the substrate R -2-phenoxypropionic acid (POPA), the original HPOPA producer B. bassiana ZJB16002 was subjected to physical mutagenesis with 137 Cs-γ irradiation and chemical mutagen N -methyl- N' -nitro- N -nitrasoguanidine (NTG) induced mutagenesis. The effects of different treatment doses of the mutagens on the lethal rate and positive mutation rate were investigated, and the results showed that the optimal 137 Cs-γirradiation dose and NTG concentration was 850 Gy and 500 µg/mL, respectively. Under these conditions, a mutant strain CCN-7 with the highest HPOPA production capacity was obtained through two rounds of 137 Cs-γ irradiation treatment followed by one round of NTG mutagenesis. At the substrate (POPA) concentration of 50 g/L, HPOPA titer of CCN-7 reached 36.88 g/L, which was 9.73-fold higher than the parental strain. The morphology of the wild-type and mutant strain was compared and the results might provide helpful information in exploration of the correlation of morphology and biochemical features of B. bassiana .

As a major intermediate metabolite of synthetic pyrethroids , the occurrence of 3-phenoxybenzoic acid hinders the decomposition of the parent pesticide and poses uncertain risks to environmental ecology and living organisms. Strain Aspergillus oryzae M-4 was previously reported to degrade 3-PBA and several substances were identified as downstream transformation products (TPs). But the mechanism underlying the cleavage of ether bond remains largely unclear. Here, we attempted to address such concern through identifying the peripheral TPs and analyzing transcriptomics, coupled with serial batch degradation experiments. Analysis results of chromatographic/mass spectrometry suggested that 3-PBA underwent twice hydroxylation , to yield mono- and dihydroxylated 3-PBA successively. In parallel, a mutual transformation between 3-PBA and 3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol (3-PBOH) also existed. The proposal of peripheral pathway represents an important advance towards fully understanding the whole 3-PBA metabolism in M-4. A specific altered metabolization was found for the first time, that is, resting cells of M-4 skipped the reduction step and initiate hydroxylation directly, by comparison with growing cells. Transcriptome analysis indicated that 3-PBA induced the up-regulation of genes related to energy investment, oxidative stress response, membrane transport and DNA repair. In-depth functional interpretation of differential expression genes suggested that the generation 3-PBOH and hydroxylated 3-PBA may be due to the participation of flavin-dependent monooxygenases (FMOs) and cytochrome P450 (CYP450), respectively. This study provides new insight to reveal the biodegradation mechanism of 3-PBA by A . oryzae M-4.

Abstract The solubility behavior of 4-chlorobenzophenone (4-CBP) was measured in 16 pure solvents (eight alcohols, four ketones, three esters, and acetonitrile) from 271.95 to 324.05 K at atmospheric pressure. X-ray powder diffraction confirmed crystal stability during dissolution, while differential scanning calorimetry determined its melting properties. Five thermodynamic models (modified Apelblat, λh, NRTL, Wilson, and Yaws) were applied to correlate the solubility data. The Kamlet–Abboud–Taft model was introduced to decipher solvent effects by deconvoluting contributions from polarity and hydrogen-bonding. Fitting performance was evaluated using relative average deviation and root-mean-square deviation. Results show that the solubility of 4-CBP increases with rising temperature and that all five models provide satisfactory agreement with the experimental data. The KAT-LSER analysis reveals the dominant solvent parameters that govern solubility. Thermodynamic mixing properties derived from the Wilson model indicate that dissolution is spontaneous and entropy-driven. This study establishes a comprehensive solubility database for 4-CBP, providing critical thermodynamic evidence for the rational design of crystallization processes.

Bis(4-fluorobenzyl)trisulfide (BFBTS) is a promising new antitumor agent under investigation. It was metabolized rapidly in vivo in rat, but the metabolic fate and primary site of metabolism have not been clarified. In this study, we investigated the role of blood in the metabolism of BFBTS and compared the BFBTS metabolic potencies in whole blood, plasma, and red blood cells (RBCs) in vitro. Three major metabolites of BFBTS [bis(4-fluorobenzyl)disulfide, para-fluorobenzyl-mercaptan, and para-fluorobenzoic acid] were detected in RBCs and whole blood. Significant metabolism of BFBTS was observed in RBCs that were identified as the primary site of BFBTS metabolism. Thiols, including endogenous thiols and hemoglobin, were proven to be the critical factor in BFBTS metabolism. S-Fluorobenzylmercaptocysteine Hb (hemoglobin) adducts were characterized in vitro at BFBTS concentration of 250 μM and higher, whereas such Hb adducts were not detected in RBCs from Sprague-Dawley rats receiving a single intravenous injection of BFBTS at a high dose of 50 mg/kg. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry results revealed that adduction induced by BFBTS was prone to take place at Cys125 of globin β chains. Otherwise, glutathionylation of Hb was also observed that may be attributed to the oxidative effect of BFBTS. In summary, BFBTS was unstable when it met with thiols, and RBCs were the main site of BFBTS metabolism. Hb adducts induced by BFBTS could be detected in vitro at high concentration but not in vivo even at high dose.

As part of a continuing study, we designed and synthesized four series of 1-phenylimidazole-4-carboxylic acid derivatives as xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) inhibitors, evaluated their in vitro inhibitory potencies against XOR and hypouricemic effects in mice, and determined their structure-activity relationships (SARs). Most of the compounds exhibited in vitro XOR inhibition at the nanomolar level. In comparison to febuxostat (half-maximal inhibitory concentration [IC 50 ] value of 7.0 nM), compounds Ie and IVa exhibited the most promising XOR inhibitory effects with IC 50 values of 8.0 and 7.2 nM, respectively. In the potassium oxonate/hypoxanthine-induced acute and long-term hyperuricemia mouse models, compounds Ie and IVa displayed significant hypouricemic potencies ( P < 0.05), that were slightly weaker than and similar to febuxostat, respectively. More interestingly, both compounds showed a capacity to improve kidney damage by decreasing creatinine and urea nitrogen levels compared to the long-term hyperuricemia mouse group ( P < 0.05), while febuxostat showed no significant effect.

Background Root knot nematodes cause great damage to crops worldwide. Due to the negative effects of the application of fumigant and old chemical nematicides, biological nematicides have drawn increasing attention in recent years. Here we tested the fumigant activity of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) blends emitted from Paenibacillus polymyxa and pure commercial VOCs against M. incognita . Results In this study, we investigated whether P. polymyxa strain J2-4 could produce VOCs that exhibit nematicidal activity. In vitro assays indicated that J2-4 VOCs were highly toxic to second stage juveniles (J2s) and could inhibit egg hatching. Three-layered pot experiments showed that the number of nematodes that penetrating in cucumber roots was reduced by 69.27% after the application of J2-4 VOCs under greenhouse conditions. We identified fourteen volatiles using solid-phase micro-extraction gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The efficacy of six commercially available VOCs, namely 2-isobutyl-3-methylpyrazine, 2,4-dimethoxybenzaldoxime, 2-dodecanone, 2-tridecanol, 2-tridecanone, and 2-tetradecanol, against M. incognita were examined. Except for 2,4-dimethoxybenzaldoxime, the remaining five VOCs showed strong direct-contact nematicidal activity against J2s of M. incognita , and only 2-isobutyl-3-methylpyrazine showed strong fumigant activity against J2s of M. incognita . In pot experiments, 2-isobutyl-3-methylpyrazine and 2-dodecanone reduced the number of root galls by about 70%, and 2-tridecanone reduced the number of root galls and egg masses by about 63% compared with controls. Conclusion Paenibacillus polymyxa strain J2-4 exhibited high fumigant activity against M. incognita. Our results provide evidence for the use of J2-4 and its VOCs as biocontrol agents in the management of root-knot nematodes. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

A new poly(4-vinylpyridine) resin was prepared and characterized. The adsorption of Th 4+ on resin was studied as a function of contact time, nitric acid concentration, metal ion impurity and initial Th 4+ concentration. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms were analyzed. The results revealed that the adsorption equilibrium for the adsorption of Th 4+ on resin was reached within 30 min. The efficiency of Th 4+ adsorption on resin improves when the nitric acid acidity increases. The adsorption capacity of the resin increases with an increase in the initial concentration of Th 4+ . The thorium distribution coefficient increases with metal nitrate in the system.

Insulator hydroxyapatite (HAp) was chosen as a candidate to construct full-spectrum photocatalyst. Glucose as a functional precursor was incorporated into HAp by coprecipitated method, and the glucose-modified HAp was then calcined under nitrogen atmosphere. With the loss of OH - group in HAp and the decomposition of glucose during the calcination, oxygen vacancies (OVs) for regulating the band gap, graphitic carbon (GC) as a good electron acceptor, and a channel for rapid carrier separation via the C-O-Ca forming between OV-HAp and GC can be simultaneously achieved. The as-prepared OV-HAp/GC displayed full-spectrum response and rapid separation of carriers. Moreover, it showed high degradation performance for 2, 4-dichlorophenol (2, 4-DCP), phenol, and tetracycline under visible, NIR, and full-spectrum. This strategy is not only facile, but also exhibits a certain universality. This work opens a new window for full-spectrum photocatalysts construction based on insulators, and large-scale production for practical use can be expected.
