In the field of disease diagnosis and treatment, achieving highly sensitive temperature sensing via non-contact methods based on fluorescence continues to present a significant challenge. This study investigated the influence of the cross-relaxation (CR) process of Tm 3+ ions at varying concentrations and the negative thermal expansion (NTE) property of the matrix on the luminescent properties of Sc 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 :Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ materials under diverse temperature conditions, and further evaluated their potential application value in the field of temperature sensing. At room temperature, the analysis of the concentration dependence of the emission spectra reveals that the intensities of the emission peaks originating from higher energy levels ( 1 G 4 , 3 H 4 , and 3 H 5 ) and the lowest excited state ( 3 F 4 ) exhibit significant variation with the doping concentration. As the doping concentration increases, the temperature enhancement factor for the fluorescence intensity of high-energy level transition ( 1 G 4 → 3 H 6 ) progressively decreases from 21.6 to 1.2. In contrast, the temperature enhancement factor for the lowest excited state transition ( 3 F 4 → 3 H 6 ) markedly increases from 471 to 2964. At a concentration of 8%, the temperature extension factor of the fluorescence lifetime at 1627 nm ( 3 F 4 → 3 H 6 ) can reach 7.2, whereas at a concentration of 0.5%, this factor is 2.7. These suggests that the CR process between Tm 3+ ions exerts markedly distinct influences on the luminescence intensities and lifetime in Sc 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 :Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ materials. In addition, this study employs the fluorescence intensity ratio of I 1629 nm / I 1197 nm for temperature sensing, thereby achieving high sensitivity in temperature measurement.

In this study, we report the cloning and expression of a functional glucoside 3-dehydrogenase (G3DH) gene from Sphingobacterium faecium ZJF-D6. This gene is 1686 bp in length and encodes a peptide of 562 amino acids. The G3DH gene was successfully expressed in E. coli , and the recombinant enzyme could oxidize glucosides, galactosides and analogues at C-3 position. The sequence and multiple alignment analysis showed that the enzyme has highest identity with G3DHs from Paraglaciecola polaris LMG 21857, Aliiglaciecola lipolytica E3 and Halomonas sp. alpha-15. The recombinant G3DH was purified on Ni–NTA column and exhibited the highest activity at pH 7.6 and 30 °C. It was sensitive to acid and alkali, and showed well thermostability. The SfG3DH could oxidize a wild range of sugars. When recombinant E. coli BL21 cells were used as catalyst, a high rate of conversion to N- p -nitrophenyl-3-ketovalidamine was achieved, and no p -nitroaniline was detected. This process offers a promising approach to fulfill substrate of 3-ketovalidoxylamine A C–N lyase production.

Distinctive upconversion or downshifting of lanthanide nanocrystals holds promise for biomedical and photonic applications. However, either process requires high-energy lasers at discrete wavelengths for excitation. Here we demonstrate that co-sensitization can break this limitation with ultrawide excitation bands. We achieve co-sensitization by employing Nd 3+ and Ho 3+ as the co-sensitizers with complementary absorptions from the ultraviolet to infrared region. Symmetric penta-layer core-shell nanostructure enables tunable fluorescence in the visible and the second near-infrared window when incorporating different activators (Er 3+ , Ho 3+ , Pr 3+ , and Tm 3+ ). Transient spectra confirm the directional energy transfer from sensitizers to activators through the bridge of Yb 3+ . We validate the features of the nanocrystals for low-powered white light-emitting diode-mediated whole-body angiography of mice with a signal-to-noise ratio of 12.3 and excitation-regulated encryption. This co-sensitization strategy paves a new way in lanthanide nanocrystals for multidirectional photon conversion manipulation and excitation-bandwidth-regulated fluorescence applications.

Amino-functionalized ionic liquids are potential and promising media for CO 2 absorption, separation, and biocatalysts due to their greenness, favorable fluidity, higher positive charge density, and rich pore structure characteristics. Two new binary mixtures, {1-aminopropyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([NH 2 −Pmim][BF 4 ]) + dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)} and {[NH 2 −Pmim][BF 4 ] + acetonitrile (ACN)}, were prepared to investigate the thermodynamic properties and internal interaction behaviors. First, the thermodynamic properties such as dynamic viscosity, density, electrical conductivity, and refractive index of the two mixture systems over the entire concentration range were measured from 288.15 to 353.15 K. By the Arrhenius equation and Vogel−Fulcher−Tamman (VFT) equation, the temperature dependence on electrical conductivity was graphically described. To investigate the internal interactions of the mixtures, the excess molar volume ( V E ), and viscosity deviation (Δ η ) were calculated and discussed by using the measured experimental data and Redlich−Kister equation fitting. Further, the structures and energies of the cation, anion, ion pairs, and solvent molecules were obtained by density functional theory (DFT) calculations to evaluate the intermolecular interactions among the different components of the mixture systems. Also the σ-profile provided the relationship between hydrogen bond donor and acceptor between IL and solvents.

A convenient one-pot microwave-assisted synthesis of Benzopyrano[2,3- c ]pyrazol-3-one derivatives was developed, where Knoevenagel condensation and hydrazinolysis reactions were continuously performed under microwave irradiation without separation and purification of the intermediates until the last cyclocondensation reaction except the substrates addition. The one-pot procedure exhibited shorter reaction times and higher yields (25–55%) of the objects than the conventional heating method.

To increase the biocatalytic activity of Escherichia coli CCZU-T15 whole cells, choline chloride/glycerol ([ChCl][Gly]) was firstly used as biocompatible solvent for the effective biotransformation of ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (COBE) into ethyl ( S )-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate [( S )-CHBE]. Furthermore, L-glutamine (150 mM) was added into [ChCl][Gly]–water ([ChCl][Gly] 12.5 vol%, pH 6.5) media instead of NAD + for increasing the biocatalytic efficiency. To further improve the biosynthesis of ( S )-CHBE (>99 % e.e. ) by E. coli CCZU-T15 whole cells, Tween-80 (7.5 mM) was also added into this reaction media, and ( S )-CHBE (>9 % e.e. ) could be effectively synthesized from 2000 and 3000 mM COBE in the yields of 100 and 93.0 % by whole cells of recombinant E. coli CCZU-T15, respectively. TEM image indicated that the cell membrane was permeabilized and lost its integrity and when the cell was exposed to [ChCl][Gly]–water media with Tween-80. Clearly, this bioprocess has high potential for the effective biosynthesis of ( S )-CHBE (>99 % e.e. ).

A series of acid–base-loaded γ-Al2O3 catalysts was applied as the catalysts for the isomerization of 3/4-methyl-tetrahydro phthalic anhydride. With a basic metal (K or Na) as the basic source and phosphorus (P) as the acid source, γ-Al2O3 was modified by equal volume immersion. NH3/CO2-TPD, XRD, TEM/EDS, BET, and TGA were used to analyze the catalysts, and 15%-K/Al2O3 and 10%-P/Al2O3 were determined as the most appropriate catalysts. The isomers were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) and infrared spectroscopy (IR), and the reaction mechanism for the isomer formation was proposed. With 3-MTHPA as the substrate, the acid/base reaction temperature was 165/150 °C, the reaction time was 3 h and the amount of the catalyst added was 3%. A new type of continuous isomeric fixed-bed reactor was designed. The stability of the catalyst was tested, and the activity loss was 4.6–6.6% after 10 hours of operation.

Novel nanocubic KTi2(PO4)3 was successfully fabricated via a facile hydrothermal method combined with a subsequent annealing treatment and further evaluated as an electrode material for potassium-ion batteries for the first time. For comparison, carbon-coated KTi2(PO4)3 obtained by a normal cane sugar-assisted method reveals improved electrochemical performances in potassium-ion batteries. This work may give a new insight into developing electrode materials for potassium-ion batteries.

It was the first report that the concentrated hydrolyzates from the enzymatic hydrolysis of dilute NaOH (3 wt%)-soaking rice straw at 30 °C was used to form [Bmim]PF 6 -hydrolyzate (50:50, v/v) media for bioconverting ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (COBE) into ethyl ( R )-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate [( R )-CHBE] (>99% e.e. ) with recombinant E. coli CCZU-A13. Compared with pure glucose, the hydrolyzates could promote both initial reaction rate and the intracellular NADH content. Furthermore, emulsifier OP-10 (20 mM) was employed to improve the reductase activity. Moreover, Hp-β-cyclodextrin (0.01 mol Hp-β-cyclodextrin/mol COBE) was also added into this bioreaction system for enhancing the biosynthesis of ( R )-CHBE from COBE by E. coli CCZU-A13 whole-cells. The yield of ( R )-CHBE (>99% e.e. ) from 800 mM COBE was obtained at 100% in the [Bmim]PF 6 -hydrolyzate (50:50, v/v) media by supplementation of OP-10 (20 mM) and Hp-β-CD (8 mM). In conclusion, an effective strategy for the biosynthesis of ( R )-CHBE was successfully demonstrated.

Nanowire poly (3,4-dihydro-2 H -thieno [3,4- b ] [1,4]dioxepin-3-yl)methanol (PProDTM) free-supporting films with conductivities around 1.92 S cm −1 were prepared using a template-free electropolymerization method. The structure, morphology, mechanical properties, and thermal stability of the PProDTM films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis and thermogravimetric analysis . Moreover, the capacitance performances of PProDTM films were investigated in aqueous and organic electrolytes (acetonitrile (ACN) and dichloromethane (DCM)). In 0.1 M H 2 SO 4 , a symmetrical supercapacitor based on PProDTM exhibited specific capacitance of 89.2 F g −1 at a current density of 1.0 A g −1 , an energy density of 3.1 Wh kg −1 at power density of 0.5 kW kg −1 and the cycling capacitance retention was 74.8% after 5000 cycles. As the scan rate and current density increased, the specific capacitance of PProDTM films clearly decreased in DCM, but no obvious changes occurred in water and ACN. In ACN containing 0.1 M Bu 4 NBF 4 , a symmetrical supercapacitor based on PProDTM exhibited specific capacitance of 99.6 F g −1 at a current density of 1.0 A g −1 , an energy density of 3.5 Wh kg −1 at power density of 0.5 kW kg −1 and the cycling capacitance retention was 82.2% after 5000 cycles. These results imply that our flexible free-supporting PProDTM films are promising for future use in supercapacitors .

Ultraviolet (UV)-absorbing chemicals (UV filters) are used in personal care products for the protection of human skin and hair from damage by UV radiation. Although these substances are released into the environment in the production and consumption processes, little is known about their ecotoxicology effects. The acute toxicity and potential ecological risk of UV filters benzophenone-3 (BP-3) and benzophenone-4 (BP-4) onChlorella vulgaris,Daphnia magna, andBrachydanio reriowere analyzed in the present study. The EC50values (96 h) of BP-3 and BP-4 onC. vulgariswere 2.98 and 201.00 mg/L, respectively. The 48 h-LC50of BP-3 and BP-4 onD. magnawere 1.09 and 47.47 mg/L, respectively. The 96 h-LC50of BP-3 and BP-4 onB. reriowere 3.89 and 633.00 mg/L, respectively. The toxicity of a mixture of BP-3 and BP-4 onC. vulgaris,D. magna, andB. rerioall showed antagonistic effects. The induced predicted no-effect concentrations of BP-3 and BP-4 by the assessment factor method were 1.80 × 10−3and 0.47 mg/L, respectively, by assessment factor (AF) method, which were both lower than the concentrations detected in the environment at present, verifying that BP-3 and BP-4 remain low-risk chemicals to the aquatic ecosystem.Keywords:benzophenone-3;benzophenone-4;UV filters;acute toxicity;ecological risk assessment

The biosorption mechanisms of uranium on an aerobic bacterial strain Streptomyces sporoverrucosus dwc-3, isolated from a potential disposal site for (ultra-)low uraniferous radioactive waste in Southwest China, were evaluated by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) and enhanced proton backscattering spectrometry (EPBS). Approximately 60% of total uranium at an initial concentration of 10 mg/L uranium nitrate solution could be absorbed on 100 mg S. sporoverrucosus dwc-3 with an adsorption capacity of more than 3.0 mg/g (wet weight) after 12 hr at room temperature at pH 3.0. The dynamic biosorption process of S. sporoverrucosus dwc-3 for uranyl ions was well described by a pseudo second-order model. S. sporoverrucosus dwc-3 could accumulate uranium on cell walls and within the cell, as revealed by SEM and TEM analysis as well as EDX spectra. XPS and FT-IR analysis further suggested that the absorbed uranium was bound to amino, phosphate and carboxyl groups of the cells. Additionally, PIXE and EPBS results confirmed that ion exchange also contributed to the adsorption process of uranium.
