Recently, slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have attracted extensive attention due to their excellent anti-icing performance. However, the unsatisfactory durability resulting from the loss of lubricant hinders its practical application. Here, a micro/nanointegrated lubricant-infused surface combining microcone hole array and TiO 2 porous nanostructure (P-SLIPS) was fabricated, where its inverted pyramid-shaped microgroove can protect the nanoporous structure from being damaged. Experimental results show that with the aid of microcone hole array, the sanding repelling properties of P-SLIPS have dramatically improved with the significantly decreased ice adhesion strength after 7 sanding cycles. In the process of droplet scouring and dynamic icing, the icing phenomenon in P-SLIPS did not occur even after 10 sanding cycles, while this value is 3 sanding cycles in SLIPS. All of these could be attributed to the introduction of microcone array structure, which makes the coating not be completely damaged during the icing/deicing and sanding polishing processes. Thus, the anti-icing durability of the P-SLIPS can be greatly improved.

The effects of FeS on nitrogen removal performance and microbial community of anammox process were studied. During the start-up period, the removal efficiencies of nitrite and total nitrogen were significantly improved by FeS. The addition of FeS increased the content of iron ions in the reactor and promoted the synthesis of heme c , which was involved in the formation of various enzymes. Compared with the control, the abundance of anammox bacteria in the FeS reactor was increased by 29%, and the expression level of the nirS gene (encoding cd 1 type nitrite reductase containing heme) was nearly doubled. The content of nitrite reductase (ammonia-forming) in the community was increased by 26.4%. The difference in functional bacteria and enzyme contents in the microbial community resulted in a difference in nitrogen removal rate (NRR) between the two reactors. High-throughput results indicated that FeS increased the richness and diversity of microbial community and enhanced the metabolic function of the microbial community. The addition of FeS did not change the dominant position of Ca. Kuenenia in both reactors. But the relative abundance of heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria was reduced with FeS, which may be related to the inhibition effect of S 2− produced by FeS.

In aluminum electrolysis cells, the emissions of perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are not only associated with the high-voltage anode effect (cell voltage > 8 V), but continuous emissions of PFCs have also been detected during cell voltage below 8 V, especially in high-amperage prebake cells. These PFCs are referred to as low-voltage anode effect PFCs (LVAE-PFCs). In this study, the influence of current density on the formation of fluorocarbon (CF x ) film was investigated on an industrial carbon anode with a bottom area of 50 cm 2 in a high-temperature see-through aluminum electrolysis cell operating at 940 °C. The formation of CF x films on localized areas of the anode under normal electrolysis conditions was confirmed through observations. The quantity of peeled CF x films and the value of the back electromotive force gradually increase with increasing current density. Simultaneously, the thermal decomposition of the CF x films results in the generation of PFCs. Under conditions of sufficient alumina concentration, the peeling of the CF x films contributes to a reduction in the cell voltage. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis revealed that regions with high current density on the carbon anode provide favorable conditions for the formation of CF x components with high resistance characteristics, inevitably leading to an increase in cell voltage.

Effect of the impurity in Cu 2 O nanowire on the degradation of methyl orange under light irradiation in dark circumstances was investigated. Here, we present the fabrication of Cu 2 O nanowires at different temperatures (110, 130, 150, 170, and 190 °C) by a facile hydrothermal route. Meanwhile, at the synthesis temperature of 110–150 °C, the major impurity in Cu 2 O nanowires was Cu 4 O 3 , and a new Cu impurity was introduced in the Cu 2 O nanowires as the synthesis temperature increased from 170 to 190 °C. Overall, as the synthesis temperature increases from 110 to 190 °C, the total impurity decreases in Cu 2 O nanowires. The fast degradation rate in dark circumstances has been achieved in Cu 2 O nanowires for all synthesis temperatures, which can be attributed to the Cu 2+ in the Cu 4 O 3 impurity of Cu 2 O nanowires. This result shows that the Cu 2 O nanowires obtained at the synthesis temperature of 150 °C have the fastest degradation rate for both under light irradiation and in dark circumstances. It has been found that under light irradiation, the Cu impurity in Cu 2 O nanowires plays a vital role in the degradation of methyl orange. In the current scenario, different impurity contents influence the catalyst activity of Cu 2 O nanowires under the visible light or dark, respectively.

Herein, we developed an effervescent reaction-enhanced dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction method for the preconcentration/extraction of bisphenols (BPs) in milk and milky tea samples. This microextraction method was based on the utilization of acidic ionic liquid (AIL) and in situ metathesis reaction (AI-EDLM). Compared to the traditional imidazolium-based ionic liquid, AIL can not only be used as an extractant, but also as an acidic source in the effervescent reaction. Under such a case, it can avoid the use of additional acidic source and also achieve a rapid dispersion effect due to vigorous CO 2 bubbles, which simplify the experimental procedures and decrease the preparation cost of effervescent tablets. By employing the one-factor-at-a-time approach, the main parameters were optimized as follows: 400 mg of [BMIM][HSO 4 ] as extractant, 100 mg of Na 2 CO 3 as alkaline source, 400 mg of Li[NTf] 2 as the ionic-exchange reagent, 4% of NaCl, 5 min of centrifugation and 1.5 mL of ether as the elution solvent. Under optimized conditions, the limits of detection ranged from 0.12 to 0.32 μg L −1 , and the extraction recoveries for BPA, BPB, and BPAF spanned the range of 85.7–106.2% in five kinds of milk samples. Therefore, the AIL ([BMIM][HSO 4 ]) played dual roles, i.e., extractant and pH regulator, in the AI-EDLM procedures. Overall, this proposed method is simple, quick, and environment-friendly with low detection limits and high recoveries for BPs, and thus has excellent application value in the sample pretreatment field in milk and milky tea samples.

Here, we demonstrate room temperature NO 2 sensors based on ZnO/rGO nanocomposites by a facile hydrothermal method. The ZnO nanoparticles (20 ~ 50 nm) were wrapped by film-like rGO with different contents (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 wt %). They all exhibit p-type sensing toward NO 2 at room temperature. The content of rGO shows an obvious effect on the sensing properties. The ZnO NPs-1% rGO has a high response of 5.21 to 10 ppm NO 2 with a response/recovery time of 198/144 s. The sensing mechanism is discussed. The gas-sensitive properties are derived from the strong synergistic effect between the smaller particles of ZnO and rGO.

Here, this work presents an air-stable ultrabright inverted organic light-emitting device (OLED) by using zinc ion-chelated polyethylenimine (PEI) as electron injection layer. The zinc chelation is demonstrated to increase the conductivity of the PEI by three orders of magnitude and passivate the polar amine groups. With these physicochemical properties, the inverted OLED shows a record-high external quantum efficiency of 10.0% at a high brightness of 45,610 cd m −2 and can deliver a maximum brightness of 121,865 cd m −2 . Besides, the inverted OLED is also demonstrated to possess an excellent air stability (humidity, 35%) with a half-brightness operating time of 541 h @ 1000 cd m −2 without any protection nor encapsulation.

Photocatalysts with different compositions have wide applications in the field of antibiotics degradation, especially for tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) degradation. One of the key pathways to improve their performance is by recombination of organic and metallic materials. In this innovative research, the composite photocatalyst PI/ZnO was successfully fabricated by one facile sintering process. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The photocatalytic performance of the samples was studied by the UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectrum (DRS). The results showed that the visible-light photocatalytic performance for TC-HCl degradation of PI/ZnO composite was approximately 71.2-fold and 3.1-fold as high as that of pure PI and bare ZnO, respectively. In addition, the mechanism of the photocatalytic reaction was revealed by the radical quenching experiments.

Multilayered, spatially ordered and highly permeable three-dimensional cross-network porous carbons were prepared from waste superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and were used as supports for NiMo hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalysts. The acidified SAP-based carbon support and the corresponding catalyst were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, N 2 adsorption–desorption, NH 3 -TPD, TG, SEM, TEM, XPS and H 2 -TPR. The results show that the acidification of the SAP-based carbon support optimizes the pore structure, increases the acidic surface functional groups, enhances the interaction between the metal and the support, and significantly improves the catalytic hydrodesulfurization performance of the catalyst. Liquid phase acidification can produce defects and wrinkles on surfaces of carbon material and form interconnected voids on spongy catalyst. Further acidification with nitric acid vapor is helpful to form a three-dimensional cross-network structure with multilayer, spatial order and high permeability. Under the same metal Mo loading and high reaction temperature, HDS performance of DBT and 4,6-DMDBT of the NiMo catalyst supported on acidified SAP is better than that of the commercial NiMo catalyst.

Nano-hydroxyapatite/bamboo fiber (n-HA/BF) composite membranes were obtained by a simple casting technology. The mechanism of the membrane formation and the effects of different pre-drying conditions, drying methods and n-HA addition amounts on the properties of the n-HA/BF composite membranes were investigated by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle, Electromechanical universal tester, in vitro soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF) and in vitro cell culture experiment. The results demonstrated that different preparation conditions did not affect the dispersity of n-HA nanoparticles in BF matrix, but determined the membrane appearances, owing to the different changes of hydrogen bond under different pre-drying temperatures. Moreover, the hydrophilicity of the composite membranes could be improved when the membranes were prepared at 70 °C and freeze-drying as well as n-HA high addition content, and the mechanical properties of the composite membranes depended on n-HA addition content. In vitro soaking behavior indicated that the corrosion properties and bone-like apatite deposition could be controlled by different preparation conditions. The cell proliferation results showed that the n-HA/BF composite membranes obtained in different preparation conditions were all non-toxic. The obtained results showed that the casting technique could be used to prepare n-HA/BF composite membranes, and the properties of the composite membranes could be controlled by adopting different preparation conditions, which would have a great potential for guide bone tissue regeneration (GBR) membranes, and the study would provide a new way for BF application in biomedical fields. Graphical abstract In this manuscript, nano-hydroxyapatite/BF (n-HA/BF) composite membranes were prepared by casting method, and the membrane forming mechanism and the effects of different pre-drying conditions, drying methods and n-HA amounts on the corresponding n-HA/BF membrane were investigated. Results demonstrated that the morphologies of membrane was determined by the different preparation conditions owing to different hydrogen bond changes. Moreover, the hydrophilicity, the mechanical properties, the degradability and bone-like apatite deposition could be controlled by different preparation conditions, and all the n-HA/BF composite membranes were all non-toxic. The obtained results indicated that the n-HA/BF composite membrane with 20% n-HA prepared at room temperature has a great potential as guide bone tissue regeneration (GBR) membrane, which would provide a new application for BF in biomedical field.

Multidrug resistance mediated by β-lactamase in Gram-negative bacilli is a serious public health problem. Sewers are considered reservoirs of multiresistant bacteria due to presence of antibiotics that select them and favor their dissemination. The present study evaluated the antibiotic resistance profile and β-lactamases production in Gram-negative bacilli isolates from hospital sewage and urban wastewater treatment plants (UWWTP) in Brazil. Bacteria were isolated and identified with biochemical tests. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed by the disk-diffusion method and detection of extended-spectrum β-lactamase and carbapenemases by enzymatic inhibitor and conventional PCR. Differences in resistance to amoxicillin clavulanic, aztreonam, cefepime, and cefotaxime were observed in hospital sewage compared with urban sewage ( p < 0.05). The multidrug-resistant phenotype was observed in 33.3% of hospital sewage isolates ( p = 0.0025). β-lactamases genes were found in 35.6% of isolates, with the most frequent being bla KPC and bla TEM (17.8%), and bla SHV and bla CTX-M (13.3% and 8.9%, respectively). The data obtained are relevant, since the bacteria detected are on the priority pathogens list from the World Health Organization and hospital sewage could be released untreated into the municipal collection system, which may favor the spread of resistance. Changes in hospital sewage discharge practices, as well as additional technologies regarding effluent disinfection in the UWWTP, can prevent the spread of these bacteria into the environment and negative impact on water resources.
