A highly efficient N, S co-doped porous carbon ORR catalyst was simply designed in our report from ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) and trace ionic liquids (ILs). The microstructure OMC was chosen as the template for improving the specific area, confining the ILs in the mesopores, and promoting the formation of the planar N and S doping. The resulting IL/OMC (IOMC) nanostructure exhibits comparable ORR activity and better stability than the commercial Pt/C catalyst in 0.10 M KOH solution, which makes it one of the best-performing metal-free carbon ORR catalysts. We deduced that the excellent ORR activity is attributed to the synergistic effect of N, S, and the ordered mesoporous structure. Interestingly, the ORR activity can be further boosted in both basic and acidic solutions after Fe doping into the IOMC nanostructures which clearly emphasizes that transition metal Fe is important for the construction of ORR active functional sites especially in acidic solution.

In present work, S-doped TiO 2 nanofibers, with several hundred nanometers in diameter, have been prepared via electrospinning technique using thiourea and CS 2 as the sulfur precursors (denoted as UTF and CTF, respectively). The results revealed that sulfur atoms were successfully incorporated into the bulk phase of TiO 2 nanofibers. Cationic doping was found with the substitution of Ti 4+ by S 6+ and Ti O S bonds were formed in the UTF sample, but anionic doping was obtained in the CTF sample and O Ti S bonds were produced via the S 2− substituted for O 2− . Meanwhile, evidence showed that chemisorbed SO 4 2− groups were present on the surface of both S-doped samples. Furthermore, S-doping could effectively inhibit the growth of crystalline grain size and obviously increase light absorbance in visible region. The photocatalytic activity of obtained nanofibers was analyzed for the degradation of organic pollutants by visible-light irradiation, and the photocatalytic mechanism was investigated by employing several scavengers for active species. Results showed that photoinduced holes (h + ) and chemisorbed hydroxyls (OH ads − ) on catalyst surface played a vital role in the photocatalysis of UTF system, but photoinduced holes (h + ) and electrons (e − ) had the nearly equal importance in CTF system.

Hybrid solution process is a powerful liquid deposited strategy merging the advantage of molecular precursor solution and nanocrystals ink. A novel hybrid solution approach is presented to fabricate Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se) 2 (CIGSSe) absorber layer using fully dissolved CIGS precursor solution and the CIGS nanocrystals. Such attractive strategy could significantly improve the single deposited thickness and enhance the quality of as-prepared CIGS film compared with the pure CIGS molecular precursor solution and the CIGS nanocrystals ink. Photovoltaic absorber layers based on CIGSSe chalcopyrite structure show the high-quality microstructural performance and are incorporated into solar cells with power conversion efficiency of 10.19%. The high performance of resulted optoelectronic devices represents a chance to extend the hybrid solution process to other inorganic semiconductor thin film solar cells.

(S)-3-chloro-1-phenyl-1-propanol ((S)-CPPO) is an important chiral intermediate predominantly used in the synthesis of the chiral side chain of (S)-fluoxetine. In this study, carbonyl reductase (CBR) from Novosphingobium aromaticivorans was successfully expressed in recombinant E. coli . The enzymatic activity of the recombinant CBR was significantly increased to 1875 U/mL in the fed-batch fermentation in a 10 L fermenter and recombinant CBR was then purified and characterized. By regenerating NADH with glucose dehydrogenase, 100 g/L 3-chloro-1-phenyl-1-propanone (3-CPP) was successfully converted to (S)-CPPO with a conversion of 100% and ee value of 99.6% after 12 h at 30 °C in PBS buffer (pH 7.0), which are the highest reported to date for the bio-production of (S)-CPPO and presented great potential for green production of (S)-CPPO at industrial scale.

Sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (S@pPAN) composites have been synthesized in a high pressure reactor under certain vapor pressure. According to elemental analysis, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the hydrogen content and the degree of graphitization in S@pPAN composites decreases with increasing synthesis vapor pressure, indicating that a suitably high vapor pressure is helpful in promoting the reaction between polyacrylonitrile and elemental sulfur and finally making the conductive molecular structure of sulfurized polyacrylonitrile more complete. The results show that the sulfurized polyacrylonitrile composite prepared under 5 MPa vapor pressure (S@pPAN-5) delivers a high initial discharge specific capacity of 1821 mA h g−1 and the capacity remains at 1357 mA h g−1 (616.8 mA h gcomposite−1) after 100 cycles with a retention rate of 88% calculated from the 2nd discharge capacity.

Bisphenol S (BPS), one of the substitutes for bisphenol A (BPA), is widely used in various commodities. The BPS concentrations in surface water have gradually increased in recent years, making it a predominant bisphenol analogue in the aquatic environment and raising concerns about its health and ecological effects on aquatic organisms. For this study, we conducted a 96 h acute toxicity test and a 15-day developmental exposure test to assess the adverse effects of BPS exposure in Chinese medaka (Oryzias sinensis), a new local aquatic animal model. The results indicate that the acute exposure of Chinese medaka embryos to BPS led to relatively low toxicity. However, developmental exposure to BPS was found to cause developmental abnormalities, such as decreased hatching rate and body length, at 15 dpf. A transcriptome analysis showed that exposure to different concentrations of bisphenol S often induced different reactions. In summary, environmental concentrations of BPS can have adverse effects on the hatching and physical development of Chinese medaka, and further attention needs to be paid to the potential toxicity of environmental BPS.

Developing effective heterostructure strategies to mitigate the shuttling effect and accelerate lithium polysulfide (LiPS) conversion remains a critical challenge in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. Here, we report the first carbon–free VO 2 –VS 2 heterostructure material synthesized via in situ sulfurization, applied as a modifier on a commercial polypropylene (PP) separator (denoted as VO 2 –VS 2 @PP). The as–prepared VO 2 –VS 2 nanorods synergistically combine the high absorptivity of VO 2 with the efficient catalytic properties of VS 2 , simultaneously enhancing LiPS anchoring and promoting its conversion. We systematically investigate the influence of material composition on battery performance, leveraging these functional attributes, Li–S cells incorporating VO 2 –VS 2 @PP exhibit exceptional cycle stability (over 500 cycles at 1C), impressive rate performance (807 mAh·g –1 at 5C), desirable reversibility (49.9% capacity retention after 300 cycles at 5C) and exceptional pouch cell performance (3.65 mAh·cm –2 after 50 stable cycles at 0.1C). This study underscores the potential of tailored heterostructures in realizing high–performance Li–S batteries, offering new insights for next–generation energy storage solutions. Graphical abstract

In recent years, Ag-In-Ga-S (AIGS) quaternary quantum dots (QDs) have garnered significant attention as a novel class of environmentally friendly and non-toxic QDs. However, the hydrothermal synthesis method for aqueous QDs has been plagued by issues such as inconsistent size, subpar crystallinity, and low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). Herein, we developed a dual ligand strategy based on the hard and soft acids and bases (HSAB) theory to synthesize aqueous AIGS QDs with an impressive PLQY of up to 64.3%, currently the highest value among hydrothermal-synthesized uncoated I-III-VI QDs. The QDs exhibit better crystallinity, narrow size distribution (3.07 ± 0.31 nm), and remarkable stability. The mechanism underlying this dual ligand strategy was further elucidated, shedding light on the distinct influences of different ligands on the growth of QDs. The high PLQY contributes to the further application of aqueous AIGS QDs in luminescent displays and the field of biology. Meanwhile, this ligand strategy has broad reference significance for efficient preparation of other water-soluble QDs.

Molecular weights of seven poly(phenylene ethynylene)-based water-soluble conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) obtained through Sonogashira coupling are determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). A standard sample preparation protocol is developed to characterize the seven CPEs using 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid as the matrix (M) and AgTFA as the cationization reagent (CR). High-quality MALDI mass spectra are obtained at volume mixing ratios (CPE/M/CR) of 5/5/1 for anionic polymers (P1–P4) and 5/50/1 for cationic polymers (P5–P7). Molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, and end-group information are analyzed. The effects of molecular weight of CPEs on optical and quenching properties are also studied. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2017 , 55 , 2537–2543

High-performance composites containing various kinds of nanofibers as reinforcing building blocks have recently received considerable attention, owing to their superior mechanical properties. One of the effective strategies to reinforce these composites involves strengthening interfacial interactions via covalent bonds. However, in contrast to nanosheets, covalent bonds have been rarely used in nanofiber-reinforced composites. Herein, we report the macroscale fabrication of a series of Ag nanowire (NW)-thiolated chitosan (TCS) composite films via spray induced self-assembly. The obtained films were significantly strengthened by Ag–S covalent bonds formed between the Ag NWs and the thiol groups of TCS. The tensile strength of the optimized Ag NW-TCS film was up to 3.9 and 1.5 times higher compared with that of pure TCS and Ag NW-chitosan (CS) films, respectively.

Quaternary Ag-In-Ga-S (AIGS) quantum dot (QD) is considered a promising, spectral-tunable, and environmentally friendly luminescent display material. However, the more complex surface defect states of AIGS QDs resulting from the coexistence of multiple elements lead to a low (< 60%) photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). Here, we develop a novel convenient method to introduce Z-type ligands ZnX 2 (X = Cl, Br, I) for passivating the surface defects of AIGS QDs to dramatically enhance the PLQY and stability without affecting the crystalline structure and morphology. Results show that the addition of ZnCl 2 during the purified process of AIGS QDs leads to a 3-fold increase of PLQY (from 28.5% to 87%). Impressively, the highest PLQY is up to a recorded value of 92%, which is comparable to typical heavy metal QDs. Exciton dynamics studies have shown that the rapid annihilation process of excitons in treated QDs is inhibited. We also confirm that the improvement in PLQY is a result of the effective passivation of the non-coordinating atom on the QD surface by building a new bonding between sulfur dangling and Zn 2+ . The realization of high PLQY will further promote the application of AIGS QDs in luminescent displays.
