Fast ionic transportation is in high demand for developing low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LT-SOFCs). Facing this challenge, a new H + /O 2− /Li + triple conductor is designed in this study from a lithium-metal oxide, spinel Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (LTO). First-principle calculation based on density functional theory (DFT) reveals the proton transport barrier in LTO can be as low as 0.37 eV while the barrier for oxygen ion transportation is 0.94 eV. Using the designed LTO as the electrolyte and a typical cathode of lithium-ion battery, LiNi 0.8 Co 0.15 Al 0.05 O 2-δ , as the symmetrical electrodes, an all-lithium-metal-oxides-based LT-SOFC is constructed. High performance is achieved by the SOFC at 550–425 °C, i.e. 625 mW cm −2 at 550 °C, and a low activation energy of 0.60 eV is found with respect to the ionic conductivity of LTO at 550–475 °C. Further study confirms the dual O 2− /H + conduction of LTO via the application of proton and oxygen ion filters as well as the transference number test. Additionally, particular attentions are paid to the transport behavior of Li + in the cell via a charging process study and from XRD results. The possible contribution of triple conduction on fuel cell performance is discussed. This work demonstrates the great promise of triple H + /O 2− /Li + conducting lithium-metal oxides for LT-SOFC electrolyte development.

The rational design and fabrication of junction-based photocatalysts is of great importance to enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of water splitting. Herein, a new heterophase junction photocatalyst consisting of cubic bixbyite and rhombohedral corundum In2O3 (c-In2O3 and h-In2O3) was readily prepared by directly annealing an InOOH precursor in an inert atmosphere. The resulting c/h-In2O3 heterophase junction photocatalyst showed an optimal hydrogen production rate of 0.73 mmol g−1 h−1 in a 6 h period reaction from alkaline formaldehyde solution in the presence of molecular oxygen under visible light irradiation, which was approximately 5.6 and 3.4 times higher than that of single-component c-In2O3 and h-In2O3, respectively. The superior photocatalytic activity of the c/h-In2O3 heterophase junction was partially attributed to its appropriate band gap and band positions. Spectroscopic characterization and photoelectrochemistry experiments indicated that the heterophase junction photocatalyst could effectively enhance charge separation and transfer abilities between h-In2O3 and c-In2O3. Furthermore, molecular O2 was found to play a key role in mediating the photocatalytic H2 evolution from formaldehyde oxidation as a catalytic electron scavenger, and O2 was not consumed throughout the reaction. Thus, the photocatalytic activity was also greatly enhanced because the adsorption ability of oxygen species was effectively improved after the formation of heterophase junctions.

The synergistic effect of different types of solid particles in liquid lubricants is of great interest. In this work, g-C3N4nanosheets were initially prepared using a calcination method and then as-prepared, and h-BN were used as lubricating additives to the white oil. A comparison between the mixed additives and the single g-C3N4or h-BN additives revealed that the base oil with the addition of g-C3N4and h-BN showed the best lubricating properties. The results show a 12.3% reduction in friction coefficient, resulting in a 68.6% reduction in wear rate compared to the white oil when filled with 0.5 wt% g-C3N4and h-BN (1:1 by weight). Moreover, the addition of g-C3N4and h-BN improves the high-temperature lubrication properties of the white oil. However, the friction coefficient and wear rate increase with increasing oil temperature. The large contact area between g-C3N4and its sliding counterpart and the strong adhesive force between h-BN and its sliding counterpart improve the film formation efficiency, leading to enhanced tribological properties under oil lubrication conditions.

The structural color of photonic crystals is usually whitish and has low saturation due to multiple incoherent scattering effects, limiting its application in practical visual observation. Herein, by controlling the calcination time of [email protected] 2 nanoparticles , we obtain hollow SiO 2 with different in situ generated carbon black contents and assemble them into photonic crystal inks (PCIs). PCIs have excellent saturation and high crystallinity due to the in-situ generated carbon black capable of absorbing incoherently scattered light without affecting particle assembly. PCIs are further converted into non-close-packed photonic crystal films with highly saturated structural colors by photopolymerization of resins. This photonic crystal film can be swollen by an ethanol-water mixture, resulting in structural color changes and shifts in reflection peaks. Moreover, the photonic crystal film can dynamically change from a dry opaque state to an ethanol-wetted translucent state. Such solvent-responsive photonic crystal films with highly saturated structural colors are expected to be used in alcohol sensors and color anti-counterfeiting labels.

Herein, the SiC-Fe 0 powders were mechanically synthesized and employed for activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to remove florfenicol (FLO). Compared to Fe 0 /PMS system, up to a 3.97-fold increase in degradation rates of 20 mg/L FLO was observed by 25% ( w / w ) SiC-Fe 0 /PMS system in 5 mins, which could be attributed to the increased specific surface area and electron transfer rate of SiC-Fe 0 . Both the radical and non-radical processes were involved in the SiC-Fe 0 /PMS system, in which 1 O 2 and • O 2 − played the dominant role in the FLO degradation and SO 4 •− as well as • OH also participated in the system. ROSs investigation suggested that 1 O 2 , • O 2 − , SO 4 •− were mainly generated from the decomposition of PMS and • OH was mainly derived from the ZVI (or Fe 2+ )-catalyzed activation of O 2 . Meanwhile, H* has a nonnegligible role in PMS activation or the transformation of iron species. Five intermediates of FLO in SiC-Fe 0 /PMS system were identified and a significant removal of the overall toxicity was observed. The degradation pathways of FLO were proposed to be hydrolysis, hydroxylation and dechlorination. Besides, this SiC-Fe 0 /PMS system shows effective removal rate for 2-chlorophenol, acetaminophen, tetrabromobisphenol A and carbamazepine, and the FLO-polluted surface water and artificial wastewater. Overall, this study demonstrated that SiC-Fe 0 was promising in practical application and provided new insights into the generation mechanisms of ROSs in the ZVI/PMS system.

Photocatalytic application is obstructed by the self-aggregation and low specific surface area of nano materials. High dispersion of SmVO 4 nanoparticles on HMOR zeolite (HMOR) were prepared by template-free method. Not only the agglomeration of nanomaterials is restrained, but also the combination of low-cost zeolite and semiconductor to prepare high-performance photocatalyst is conducive to the rational utilization of resources. Sm(NO 3 ) 3 ·6H 2 O and NH 4 VO 3 were used as precursors, and mixed with HMOR to prepare SmVO 4 /HMOR by precipitation method.. This method does not use any templates and surfactants, realizing the high dispersion of SmVO 4 nanoparticles on the surface of HMOR with the particle size are 17 ∼ 23 nm. The photocatalytic activity of SmVO 4 /HMOR was tested by degradation of rhodamine B (RhB). Compared with the monomer of SmVO 4 , the degradation rate of 29.81 wt% SmVO 4 /HMOR was increased from 33.12 % to 70.99 % under visible light irradiation for 2.5 h. The rate constant k (0.50 h −1 ) was boosted to 2.9 times as much as SmVO 4 monomer (0.17 h −1 ). When 3.7 wt% H 2 O 2 (30 %) was added into the photocatalytic system, the photocatalytic degradation rate could reach 93.26 % within 30 min. The synergistic effect of SmVO 4 and HMOR is critical on the improvement of the removal efficiency of RhB. SmVO 4 in the form of nanoparticles on the HMOR support has high photocatalytic activity. In addition, HMOR acted as electron acceptor to accelerate the transfer efficiency of photoelectrons, inhibiting the recombination of charges and improve the photocatalytic efficiency.

A catalytic system that is both efficient and recyclable is desirable for production 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from glucose. In this study, the catalytic system composed of H 2 O (NaCl) -tetrahydrofuran (THF) biphasic system and H-β zeolite was found to have excellent performance for the glucose conversion into HMF. The physicochemical properties of the H-β zeolite catalyst, the dosage of the system components, and the reaction parameters were investigated in detail to optimize the production efficiency of HMF. Under optimal reaction conditions, an advanced level of 84% HMF yield was obtained from glucose. After the reaction was completed, all components of the catalytic system can be recovered, realizing no waste of reagents. Moreover, the recycled H-β(30) zeolite catalyst maintained considerable catalytic stability after five consecutive cycles. Therefore, it is reasonable to believe that the efficient, inexpensive, and recyclable H 2 O (NaCl) -THF catalytic system containing H-β(30) zeolite is capable of showing promising application potential in the future.

In this work, a hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN)/AuAg nanoalloy hybrids (NAHs) was synthesized to fabricate h-BN/Au 1 Ag 3 membrane as a solid surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate for sensitive SERS detection of melamine. The AuAg nanoalloys were in situ grown on h-BN by chemical reduction method, and the Au/Ag molar ratio was tuned to achieve optimal SERS performance. After the SERS performance of h-BN/AuAg NAHs with different Au/Ag ratios was analyzed, h-BN/Au 1 Ag 3 NAHs were chosen for SERS analysis. The h-BN/Au 1 Ag 3 membrane can be obtained through simple filtration of h-BN/Au 1 Ag 3 NAHs on chromatographic paper. As expected, the solid SERS substrates of h-BN/Au 1 Ag 3 membrane were uniform and demonstrated good selectivity, repeatability and reproducibility for SERS detection of melamine. The results demonstrate that h-BN/Au 1 Ag 3 membrane exhibited high SERS activity for 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) with limit of detection (LOD) at 1.0 ng L −1 , and its analytical enhancement factor (AEF) reached 3.6 × 10 8 . The possible enhancement mechanism, including electromagnetic mechanisms (EM) and chemical mechanisms (CM) were illustrated by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) and density functional theory (DFT) simulations in detail, respectively. The concentration of melamine in the 0.05–5.0 mg L −1 range showed good linear relationship ( R 2 = 0.9940) with SERS intensity with LOD of 0.01 mg L −1 . Finally, the recoveries of melamine in liquid milk samples are 87.7–105.7% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) in range of 0.6–2.6%, providing precise safety evaluation of melamine in milk samples.

The aggregation-induced emission (AIE) material has been widely used in biological detection due to their unique property of fluorescing in aggregation state. However, the poor dispersion and biocompatibility limit its application in in vivo real-time imaging. Here, a novel strategy is designed to obtain pH-responsive AIE nanomaterials, working through 4-Undecoxy Tetraphenyl Ethylene Methacrylate (PM1) block, with excellent features (dispersion, biocompatibility, self-reconstruction and cancer specific recognition). The recombinant human H-ferritin (rHuHF) was used to prepare rHuHF-PM1 nanocomposites which effectively supported the dispersion and transfer of PM1 in the biological environment, even making it target tumor cells due to the overexpression of ferritin receptors on tumor cells. To simulate the changes of rHuHF in intracellular lysosomes, particle size and fluorescence of rHuHF-PM1 were analyzed, which reflected the loose structural changes of rHuHF nanocages in weak acid system that facilitated the degradation of macromolecular rHuHF in intracellular lysosomes and following release of PM1. The released PM1 molecules aggregated and emitted brilliant blue fluorescence. Several cell lines, Hela, HT-29, HepG2, L-O2 and HUVEC have all been sensitively detected and distinguished. Accordingly, this nanocage has a potential to be applied to disease diagnosis and provides a novel sensing platform for the identification of cancer.

Highly efficient treatment of oil-water emulsions in severe environments (organic solvents, strong acids) is recognized as a challenging subject. Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is an ideal membrane material with superior thermal stability as well as chemical resistance that is expected to settle this challenge. However, the hydrophobicity of PPS (h-PPS) membrane inherently prevents its efficient treatment of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. In this study, superhydrophilic modification of PPS substrates was achieved by in situ electrostatic self-assembly of hydrophilic Zr-MOFs to obtain UiO-66-NH 2 @h-PPS membranes. The introduction of UiO-66-NH 2 crystals constructed the micro/nanoscale hierarchical structure for the substrate, which transforms the PPS substrate from a hydrophobic to a superhydrophilic state (water droplets require only 0.6 s to be completely immersed in the membrane). Meanwhile, the UiO-66-NH 2 @h-PPS membranes gain under-water superhydrophobicity (the under-water oil contact angle exceeds 150° for toluene, hexane , dichloromethane , and carbon tetrachloride , of which toluene reaches 163.1°), thereby improving wettability selectivity and decreasing oil adhesion, permitting the fabricated UiO-66-NH 2 @h-PPS membranes to effectively separate different types of O/W emulsions. The UiO-66-NH 2 @h-PPS membranes acquire excellent permeate fluxes (for the surfactant-free toluene-in-water emulsion, it reaches up to 7638.1 L m −2 h −1 ) and separation accuracy (99.1% oil rejection). Moreover, the UiO-66-NH 2 @h-PPS membrane exhibited outstanding harsh environment resistance. Interestingly, the combination of UiO-66-NH 2 and h-PPS substrate was applicable to degrade the organic compound in water, and the degradation efficiency of the methylene blue achieved 85.7% under visible light within 120 min. In summary, loading Zr-MOFs onto h-PPS substrates provides a novel strategy for the efficient treatment of wastewater under complex conditions with great potential for practical applications.

Currently, photocatalytic degradation is a fascinating technology due to its capability to treat escalating environmental problems by degrading chemicals like dyes and pharmaceuticals from wastewater. Herein, the hexagonal prism GQDs/h-MoO 3 composite photocatalyst was fabricated through a facile hydrothermal approach. The synthesized samples were identified by XRD , SEM, FT-IR, XPS , UV-Vis DRS , and PL technologies to study the crystal structure, morphology, surface chemical composition , and optical properties . The preparation circumstances of binary compounds, such as different GQDs (Graphene quantum dots) loading amounts, precursor solution pH, hydrothermal temperature, and hydrothermal time were optimized, also, and the photocatalytic activity of materials is determined by photodegradation of Methylene Blue in this approach, which systematically investigated the impact of operational conditions on the efficiency of the photocatalytic reaction. The results revealed that 10GQDs/h-MoO 3 has the best photocatalytic performance among competitors, which exhibited a high photodegradation efficiency (85.58%) of MB, and the rate was approximately 2.13 times greater than pristine h-MoO 3 . Moreover, the PL and EIS measurements proved the outstanding separation and migration ability of the photo-excited carriers of composite, which was attributable to the fact that GQDs can serve as electron transporters and acceptors to induce electron-hole separation efficiently. Finally, the free radical scavenging experiments confirmed that the primary active species was h + in the photocatalytic process, as well as a potential explanation for the improved photocatalytic activity of GQDs/h-MoO 3 photocatalysts was proposed.

Hg2+, a highly toxic heavy metal, poses significant environmental and health risks, necessitating rapid detection methods. In this study, we employed an electrochemical aptasensor for rapid and sensitive detection of Hg2+based on DNA strands (H2 and H3) immobilized graphene aerogels-Au nanoparticles (GAs-AuNPs) hybrid recognition interface and exonuclease III (Exo III)-mediated cyclic amplification. Firstly, Gas-AuNPs were modified on the surface of the ITO electrode to form a sensing interface to increase DNA loading and accelerate electron transfer. Then, DNA helper was generated with the addition of Hg2+via Exo III-mediated cycling. Finally, the hairpin structures of H2 and H3 were opened with the DNA helper, and then the methylene blue (MB) functionalized DNA (A1 and A2) combined with the H2 and H3 to form an H-shaped structure. The current response of MB as an electrochemical probe was proportional to the concentration of Hg2+. Under optimal conditions, the aptasensor showed excellent performance for Hg2+, achieving a linear range from 1 fM to 10 nM and a detection limit of 0.16 fM. Furthermore, the aptasensor was used to detect Hg2+in spiked milk samples, achieving a high recovery rate and demonstrating promising application prospects.Keywords:graphene aerogels–Au nanoparticles;Hg2+;H-shaped;aptasensor;milk sample
