The safe operating voltage and low volume variation of Li 3 VO 4 (LVO) make it an ideal anode material for lithium (Li)-ion batteries. However, the insufficient understanding of the inner storage mechanism hinders the design of LVO-based electrodes. Herein, we investigate, for the first time, the Li-ion storage activity in LVO via Cl doping. Moreover, N-doped C coating was simultaneously achieved in the Cl doping process, resulting in synergistically improved reaction kinetics. As a result, the as-prepared Cl-doped Li 3 VO 4 coated with N-doped C (Cl-LVO@NC) electrodes deliver a discharge capacity of 884.1 mAh/g after 200 cycles at 0.2 A/g, which is the highest among all of the LVO-based electrodes. The Cl-LVO@NC electrodes also exhibit high-capacity retention of 331.1 mAh/g at 8.0 A/g and full capacity recovery after 5 periods of rate testing over 400 cycles. After 5000 cycles at 4.0 A/g, the discharge capacity can be maintained at 423.2 mAh/g, which is superior to most LVO-based electrodes. The Li-ion storage activity in LVO via Cl doping and significant improvement in the high-rate Li-ion storage reported in this work can be used as references for the design of advanced LVO-based electrodes for high-power applications.

Monochloroacetic acid (MCAA) is identified as a highly carcinogenic disinfection by-product in chlorinated drinking water. In this study, a series of CeO 2 -supported Pd catalysts (Pd/MCeO 2 ) were synthesized through one-step calcination of Pd-loaded Ce-UiO-66-BDC (Ce-MOF), and the liquid-phase catalytic hydrodechlorination of MCAA was explored using these catalysts. For comparison, Pd/CeO 2 catalysts were additionally synthesized using the conventional impregnation method. The characterization results reveal that the catalysts exhibit strong metal–support interaction, leading to high Pd dispersion and Pd n + content. Additionally, the calcination temperature significantly influences catalytic performance, with the catalyst calcined at 500 °C (Pd/MCeO 2 -500) demonstrating the highest catalytic activity and achieving complete dechlorination of MCAA within 50 min. Furthermore, it is found that the catalytic MCAA hydrodechlorination using the catalysts adheres to the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model. Accordingly, low reaction pH is favorable for the catalytic hydrodechlorination of MCAA, enhancing MCAA adsorption on the catalyst surface due to the electrostatic interaction between MCAA and the catalyst surface. Theoretical results suggest that the presence of Pd n + efficiently facilitates MCAA adsorption and C–Cl cleavage, thus significantly enhancing the liquid-phase catalytic hydrodechlorination.

Previous studies have indicated that 6:2 chlorinated polyfluoroalkyl ether sulfonate (6:2 Cl-PFAES), a substitute for perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), caused disruptions in glucose metabolism, but its toxicological mechanisms remain unclear. Pancreatic β cells are responsible for regulating glucose metabolism. This study used mouse insulinoma β cells (β-TC-6) to study the toxic effects of 6:2 Cl-PFAES and elucidate its potential mechanisms. Through cell counting kit-8, trypan blue staining, and apoptosis assays, we found that 6:2 Cl-PFAES showed toxicity to β-TC-6 cells, even surpassing that of PFOS. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that 6:2 Cl-PFAES induced oxidative stress by ascendant levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA), alongside increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. The oxidative stress-inducing capability of 6:2 Cl-PFAES was stronger than PFOS. Co-exposure with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), as the ROS scavenger, which obviously reduced the degree of cell apoptosis and the production of ROS, highlighting oxidative stress as a crucial mechanism of 6:2 Cl-PFAES-induced cell death. Transcriptomic analysis further revealed that 6:2 Cl-PFAES affected genes association with the oxidative phosphorylation pathway, confirming the oxidative stress effect, and altered diabetes-related genes expression, suggesting a heightened risk of diabetes. This study provides insights into the toxicity of 6:2 Cl-PFAES on β cells and its potential risks on glucose metabolism disruption.

A novel on-line method using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a diode array detector (DAD) and a chemiluminescence (CL) detector was successfully developed for simultaneously analyzing the antioxidant efficacies of 15 components in Guan-Xin-Ning (GXN) injection, a traditional Chinese medicinal preparation consisting of Radix Salvia miltiorrhiza and Rhizoma Ligusticum chuanxiong for the treatment of coronary heart disease and angina pectoris. The analytical conditions were optimized, validated and applied to determine H 2 O 2 inhibition rates of the 15 phenolic acids in GXN injections from 14 different production batches. The results showed that antioxidant diversities were found in the 15 compounds and that danshensu, protocatechuic aldehyde and rosmarinic acid were largely responsible for the antioxidant activity of GXN injection (25.82%-51.19%). In addition, 14 batches of GXN injections were divided into five groups corresponding with five different factories by principal component analysis (PCA) assay. Therefore, the proposed HPLC-DAD-CL method was simple, rapid and low-cost for screening antioxidant constituents in a complex system, which can be used to reveal the antioxidant mechanism of GXN injection and is applicable for its quality control in terms of activity, which was different from the routine chemical assessment.

Actuators with controllable and reversible morphing towards environment stimuli have great potential applications in diverse fields. In spite of good progress made over the past decades, simple and efficient preparation of multi-response actuators is still a challenge. Here, we report a strategy to prepare humidity and near infrared (NIR) dual-response actuators with controllable and reversible bending or twisting deformation. The actuators were made up of two layers, one was polyvinyl butyral (PVB) layer with humidity and NIR inertness, and the other was chlorine-modified polypyrrole (PPy-Cl) doped poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-benzophenone) (PNIPAM-ABP) composite layer, taking advantage of the NIR photothermal conversion capability of PPy-Cl, along with the thermal-responsive PNIPAM-ABP. Upon NIR light irradiation , PPy-Cl converted light energy into heat, which subsequently induced the shrinkage of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) chains; upon a high-humidity environment, PPy-Cl absorbed water molecular and transferred it into PNIPAM polymer , which further caused the bilayer to shrink or swell in an asymmetric manner, consequently leading to reversible bending or unbending behaviors. Interestingly, upon ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation with a grid photomask, the bilayer actuators showed bending or twist behaviors along with a special direction. The bionic flowers made from the actuators could imitate sunflower's opening and closing behaviors in response to NIR or humidity. The dual-response actuator could also imitate the lifting weight behaviors of forklifts. As an interesting example for potential utilization, a smart four-wheel vehicle was constructed using the bilayer actuator, showed excellent fast-moving performance.

China faces severe antimony pollution due to long-term, high-intensity mining and smelting operations. Long-term exposure to Sb(III) can lead to chronic respiratory problems. Adsorption method is used to remove Sb(III) because of its simplicity, economy and high efficiency. Therefore, a novel MIL-101(Fe)-Cl/SA hydrogel with oxidation-sorption bifunctionality was developed. 1602 cm −1 and 1025 cm −1 correspond to N H and S = O indicate N-chlorosulfonamide is bonded to MIL-101(Fe)-Cl/SA. MIL-101(Fe)-Cl/SA exhibited rough and wrinkled surfaces with numerous irregular particles by SEM. The presence of O (22 %) and Cl (2 %) confirmed the incorporation of N-chlorosulfonamide and SA into MIL-101(Fe)-Cl/SA by EDS and mappings. The adsorption capacities of MIL-101(Fe)-Cl/SA were 86 mg/g at 298 K and 123.21 mg/g at 328 K by Langmuir model. Kinetic and equilibrium correspond to pseudo-second-order and Langmuir model, respectively. Adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic by thermodynamic analysis. MIL-101(Fe)-Cl/SA exhibited enhanced selectivity in solution containing various ions. Moreover, MIL-101(Fe)-Cl/SA demonstrated potential for regeneration and reuse. The removal process primarily involved oxidation, electrostatic interaction, and complexation. In summary, the capability of MIL-101(Fe)-Cl/SA to adsorb and oxidize Sb(III) underscores its promising potential in mitigating the hazards associated with Sb(III).

A magnetic Cl − -intercalated Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @MgAl-Cl − LDH nanocomposite has been successfully synthesized by modified one-step salt-assisted coprecipitation process. The Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @MgAl-Cl − LDH nanocomposite was characterized by FTIR, XRD, XPS, SEM, HRTEM, BET and VSM. The results showed that the Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @MgAl-Cl − LDH particles possessed core (Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 ) shell (Cl − -LDH) structures and magnetic properties, and Cl − anions were successfully introduced into LDH interlayers. The unique intercalated structure with week interlayer interaction of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @MgAl-Cl − LDH provide efficient adsorption of methyl orange (MO), Congo red (CR) and methyl blue (MB), leading to its superior performance with much higher uptake capability with the maximum adsorption capacity of MO, CR and MB reaching 733 mg·g −1 , 910 mg·g −1 and 385 mg·g −1 , respectively. The adsorption process could be well described by pseudo-second-order model for MO, CR and MB. The experimental data of MO and CR could be fitted better with Freundlich model, while that of MB were fitted better with Langmuir model. The adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic for MO and MB, while spontaneous and endothermic for CR. Moreover, the adsorbent exhibits excellent stability and reusability in the regeneration cycle, and a process called ‘‘post-processing step” is proposed to effectively improve the dye removal ability of the adsorbent in reuse. This study puts forward a new thought for the development of high-performance LDH adsorbents with mesoporous and Cl − intercalation structure for the efficient and rapid removal of dyes.

The weak intermolecular interaction between 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) and 3-chloro-2-methyl-1-propene (CMP) has been investigated by gas phase FTIR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. CMP offers two hydrogen bond docking sites to the hydrogen bond donor: the chlorine atom (O–H⋯Cl) and the CC π electron system (O–H⋯π). DFT calculations suggest that MeOH approaches CMP in five different orientations. The structural, energetic, and spectroscopic parameters of the most stable structures in each orientation were studied, and their binding energies range from −25.5 to −19.5 kJ mol−1. The docking to the π system is at least 1 kJ mol−1 more favored than the docking to the chlorine atom. The equilibrium constant for complexation (2.3 × 10−2) was determined from the experimental and calculated intensity of the OH-stretching transition. The Gibbs free energy of formation was found to be 9.3 kJ mol−1. The nature of the non-covalent interaction was analyzed with the atoms in molecules (AIM) method.

In the present study, new N,Cl co-doped carbon dots (N,Cl-CDs) based on deep eutectic solvent (DES) were fabricated by a facile hydrothermal process. This fluorescent probe exhibited a good quantum yield of 14% and was applied for the sensitive and selective quantification of morphine in foods. In addition, the influence of solution pH, interaction time, system temperature, interfering substances and analogues on the determination was also investigated. Under the optimized conditions, the luminescence intensity of carbon dots increased linearly with the addition of morphine in the concentration range of (0.15–280.25) μg mL−1 (R2 > 0.9969) and the limit of detection (LOD) of 46.5 ng mL−1. Based on these results, it is suggested that N,Cl-CDs is a promising fluorescent probe for sensitive and selective quantification of morphine in foods.

The inherent single narrow emission peak and fast anion exchange process of cesium lead halide perovskite CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) nanocrystals severely limited its application in white light-emitting diodes. Previous studies have shown that composite structures can passivate surface defects of NCs and improve the stability of perovskite materials, but complex post-treatment processes commonly lead to dissolution of NCs. In this study, CsPb(Cl/Br)3 NCs was in-situ grown in TiO2 hollow shells doped with Eu3+ ions by a modified thermal injection method to prepare CsPb(Cl/Br)3/TiO2:Eu3+ composites with direct excitation of white light without additional treatment. Among them, the well-crystalline TiO2 shells acted as both a substrate for the dopant, avoiding the direct doping of Eu3+ into the interior of NCs to affect the crystal structure of the perovskite materials, and also as a protection layer to isolate the contact between PL quenching molecules and NCs, which significantly improves the stability. Further, the WLED prepared using the composites had bright white light emission, luminous efficiency of 87.39 lm/W, and long-time operating stability, which provided new options for the development of perovskite devices.

The solubility of fluorite in hydrothermal conditions is important in ore forming and geothermal processes and groundwater utilization. However, a quantitative description of the geochemical behavior of fluorite under hydrothermal conditions has not been previously reported. In this work, the solubility of fluorite in Na-K-Cl solutions at temperatures up to 260 °C and ionic strengths up to 4 M was determined by experiments and modeling. The solubility products obtained in this work at 30 and 50 °C under ambient pressure and those from literature were used to regress the density model parameters for fluorite solubility product calculation at high temperature. The Pitzer interaction model was adopted to calculate the activity coefficient . The fluorite solubility determined in KCl solution at 250 °C under vapor saturated pressure and that from the literature were combined with the low-temperature thermodynamic properties of heat capacity and osmotic coefficient to obtain the binary parameters of NaF and KF at temperatures up to 260 °C. A thermodynamic model was then developed for calculating the fluorite solubility in Na-K-Cl solution at temperatures up to 260 °C, under vapor saturated pressure and ionic strengths up to 4 M. As calculated from this model, fluorite solubility measured at 200 °C and 0.1 M NaCl was well predicted. Both temperature and ionic strength had significant effects on fluorite solubility, and fluorite exhibited a similar dissolution pattern in both NaCl and KCl solution. When the concentration was lower than 2 M, the solubility of fluorite first increased with temperature, reached a maximum at approximately 100 °C, and then decreased. When the concentration was higher than 2 M, the solubility of fluorite increased monotonically with temperature.

Mixed halide CsPb(Br/Cl) 3 quantum dots (QDs) exhibit fine tunable blue light and narrow photoluminescence (PL) full-width at half-maximum (FWHM), which has attracted significant attention as a promising candidate to realize a new generation of blue light technology. However, the introduction of Cl − makes it very easy to be eroded by water in the environment, which will lead to deep-level defects and degrade the luminescence and stability of QDs. Here, we propose to introduce tetra- n -octylammonium oxalate (TOAOxa) to improve the water-resistance stability and exciton recombination of CsPb(Br/Cl) 3 QDs and QD-based light-emitting diodes (QLEDs). The oxalate ion (Oxa 2− ) of TOAOxa could form strong interaction with undercoordinated Pb 2+ on CsPb(Br/Cl) 3 QD surface, which was confirmed by FTIR and XPS analysis. Oxa 2− passivated QDs (Oxa-QDs) exhibited improved photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and enhanced water-resistance stability compared to pristine QDs. For example, after soaking in water–acetone co-solvent for 1 h, Oxa-QDs can maintain the initial cubic morphology and 43.9% of initial PL intensity, while the morphology and luminescence of pristine QDs are almost damaged. Based on the above concept, the Oxa-QD-based QLED presented a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 4.0%, and operational lifetime (T 50 ) of 84 s, which was a 5-fold enhancement in EQE, and 7-fold enhancement in stability compared to pristine QLED, respectively. Besides, the Oxa-QD-based QLED exhibits better stability in high-humidity air. To sum up, the Oxa 2− passivation strategy has significantly improved the efficiency and water-resistant stability of QDs and devices and would rapidly promote the development of blue-emitting QDs.
