In this study, a novel Cu 0 -Cu 2 O@CNTs composite was synthesized, characterized and applied to activate peroxydisulfate (PDS) for the degradation of 2, 4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in contaminated lake water. The results indicated that Cu 0 -Cu 2 O@CNTs can effectively activate PDS to produce O 2 • − radical, which has high selectivity to degrade organic pollutants in actual contaminated water. The efficiency of 2,4-DCP degradation and mineralization was 99.27% and 66.90%, respectively under the optimal condition. In the presence of Cl − , HCO 3 − and natural organic matters (NOMs) or in real wastewater containing 2,4-DCP, Cu 0 -Cu 2 O@CNTs/PDS system had a good selectivity for 2,4-DCP degradation. O 2 • − was the dominant reactive species in Cu 0 -Cu 2 O@CNTs/PDS system for 2,4-DCP degradation. The possible degradation pathway of 2,4-DCP was proposed. It was concluded that Cu 0 -Cu 2 O@CNTs composite could overcome the shortcomings of PDS activation by Cu 0 and Cu 2 O alone, such as low activating capability of Cu 0 and instability of Cu 2 O, which was high efficient for activating PDS. Cu 0 -Cu 2 O@CNTs composite can be used as an efficient catalyst to activate PDS for the degradation of toxic organic pollutants in water and wastewater.

As one of the widely studied metal nanoclusters, the preparation of copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs) by a facile method with high fluorescence performance has been the interest of researchers. In this paper, a simple, green, clean, and time-saving chemical etching method was used to synthesize water-soluble Cu NCs using ascorbic acid (AA) as the reducing agent. The as-prepared Cu NCs showed strong green fluorescence (with a quantum yield as high as 33.6%) and high ion stability, and good antioxidant activity as well. The resultant Cu NCs were used for the detection of 4-aminoazobenzene (one of 24 kinds of prohibited textile compounds) in water with a minimum detection limit of 1.44 μM, which has good potential for fabric safety monitoring.Keywords:copper nanoclusters;fluorescence;detection;ascorbic acid

A comprehensive experimental investigation on the microstructures of microemulsion constructed with Gemini surfactant has been carried out. The structural transition of the microemulsion system, 14-4-14/1-propanol/ n -heptane/water, from water-in-oil (W/O) to bi-continuous (B.C.) has been characterized by electrical conductivity and cyclic voltammetry . Being a typically percolative system, spherical nanodroplets are observed in the W/O system, while interlinks of water and oil continuous phases are observed in the middle phase, as confirmed by cryo-TEM. Most importantly, the role of water is clearly revealed. Increasing the water content results in size enhancement as well as improvement of micropolarity and diffusion behavior. Results of DSC measurements suggest that free water dominates only at high total water content. The unfrozen water which is not detected by DSC takes a considerable amount in the W/O system at low total water content, while the interphasal water reaches over 50% of total water in the middle phase system.

Herein, Ag/In2S3/ZnO nanorods (NRs) composite photocatalysts were successfully prepared via simple methods. Significantly, hydroxyl radical active substances were found in the electron spin resonance tests of In2S3/ZnO NRs and Ag/In2S3/ZnO NRs, which indicates that the oxidation reaction that oxidizes water or hydroxide ions into hydroxyl radicals occurs on the valence band of ZnO NRs. It suggests that Z-scheme heterojunction was successfully constructed. In the photocatalytic experiments of degrading 4-nitrophenol (PNP), the Ag/In2S3/ZnO NRs composite exhibits higher photocatalytic activity than ZnO NRs, In2S3, Ag/ZnO NRs and In2S3/ZnO NRs. The characteristic peak of PNP disappears completely in 50 min. The enhanced photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the formation of Z-scheme heterojunction between ZnO NRs and In2S3. In addition, local surface plasmon resonance of Ag and Schottky junction formed between Ag and In2S3 also promote the photocatalytic activity.

Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has been widely applied in many research fields such as biological detection and chemical analysis. However, for the common Au nanoparticles, it’s too hard to guarante the three aspects: the great enhanced effect, the controllable aggregation and the uniformity of nanoparticles, the environmental friendliness and biocompatibility of nanoparticles. In this paper, phytate acid (IP6)-coated Au nanoparticles (IP6@Au NPs) are more stable and have a higher enhancement factor than Au nanoparticles. In order to achieve the uniformity of the spherical IP6-coated@Au nanoparticles (IP6@Au NPs), IP6 was used as a soft template. In the presence of IP6, IP6@Ag nanoparticles were first synthesized by reducing AgNO 3 with trisodium citrate, then IP6@Au NPs were obtained by reducing HAuCl 4 with Ag nanoparticles. The IP6@Au NPs exhibit excellent Raman signal enhancement by using p-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) as the probe molecules. The effects of Fe 3+ on the performance of IP6@Au NPs SERS substrates were also studied. The results show that SERS has the best enhancement effect when adding proper amount of Fe 3+ (0.56 PPM), and the limit of detection was 10 −7 M 4-ATP.

For Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) solar cells, eliminating multi-layer crystallization is a key issue of achieving high quality CZTSSe absorber layers and high cell performance. In this work, the formation mechanism of the multi-layer crystallization is revealed, that is, the reaction between CZTS and Mo may give the secondary phase, which subsequently acts as crystal nucleus to facilitate the CZTSSe crystal growth at back interface (Mo/CZTSSe), leading to multi-layer crystallization. By introducing MoO 3 isolating layer, this undesired reaction can be well prevented, and high quality single-layer crystals are obtained. This absorber film with fewer defects and secondary phases exhibits better semiconductor properties . Based on this regulated CZTSSe absorber layer, 11.68% (active area: 0.16092 cm 2 ) and 10.69% (mask area: 0.17586 cm 2 ) certified power-conversion-efficiency have been achieved with significant increase in the open-circuit voltage and fill factor.

A novel amphiphilic cone-shaped inducer, tetra-quaternized tetraoctyloxycalix[4]arene (TQCX), is proposed to create continuous ionic channels in an anion exchange membrane (AEM). Via molecular dynamics simulation, it was found that four upper-rim cationic groups induce ionic aggregation via electrostatic interactions , while four lower-rim hydrophobic octyl side chains promote the clustering of hydrophobic domains via van der Waals interactions with the polymer backbone. The core cavity in TQCX introduces additional free volume to connect hydrophilic domains. At the optimal TQCX content of 3 wt%, the ionic clusters with a diameter of ∼12 nm are induced, and even linearly arranged to construct continuous ionic channels with a length up to ∼300 nm. Besides, TQCX also aggregates to form the ion-rich nanoparticles with the size of ∼500 nm, which also assist in the construction of interconnected hydroxide-conducting pathways. Consequently, hydroxide conductivity of the composite membrane yields a 70% improvement at 3 wt% TQCX over that of the pristine membrane, achieving the top level among the reported main-chain-type AEMs based on the polysulfone backbone.

In this study, N-doped platelet-like metal-loaded Zr/SBA-15 was synthesized and employed for reducing 4-nitrophenol to remove this contaminant from water. Dopamine hydrochloride was used as a novel CN source for the modification of ZrSBA-15. The N doping process occurred readily at a low temperature due to the polymerization of dopamine, which could save energy and simplify the experimental fabrication of catalysts. In addition, polydopamine can immobilize Pd ions in a facile manner and the trapped Pd ions are reduced to Pd nanoparticles due to the reducibility of the polydopamine polymer. The utilization of dopamine allows the catalyst to be obtained in a facile and cost-effective synthetic process, while the production of the CN layer as well as the reduction and immobilization of the Pd ions can occur simultaneously. Characterization of the product showed that the catalyst had a platelet-like structure after decoration with elemental Zr, which enhanced the catalytic reaction compared with the natural fiber-like SBA-15. The optimal Pd loading capacity was determined as ~3.0 wt% and the materials obtained could reduce 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol within 120 s with a conversion ratio above 90%.

A new kind of hetero-bifunctional reactive dye containing 2-ethoxy-4-chloro- s -triazine, with better activity matching with β-hydroxyethyl sulphone sulphate at a low fixation temperature, was successfully synthesised and characterised. An ethoxy group was designed to be introduced into triazine to increase the substantivity and the reactivity of the dyes. Thereby, the fixation of mono- s -chlorotriazine/hydroxyethyl sulphone sulphate (KM-type) bifunctional reactive dyes on cotton was improved, and dyeing under mild conditions with high fixation was realised. Nineteen dyes with orange, red and blue colours were synthesised and characterised by UV-Vis and infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Synthesised dyes were dyed at 60, 75 and 90°C, respectively. Exhaustion and reactivity for all of the ethoxy-containing KM-type dyes was over 90% at the optimal temperature, and fixation was over 87%, which was higher than the ethoxy-free comparative dyes. The optimal fixation temperature of ethoxy-containing dyes was initially reduced to 75°C, and then to 60°C. Compared with comparative dyes, the wash fastness and light fastness were basically unchanged, and the wet rub fastness of the H-acid series was reduced by one grade.

Developing a facile method to fabricate new heterogeneous Metal-Organic Framework (MOFs) based catalysts with high catalytic activity and stability has drawn significant attention. Herein, we demonstrate a simple in-situ pyrolysis reduction strategy to fabricate a novel three-dimensional (3D) Cu-based catalyst, which displays an outstanding performance for the decomposition of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). Detailed characterization including SEM , FTIR, XPS , ICP-OES, HRTEM , SAED , XRD and BET confirmed the formation of the Cu/C porous composites (Cu/C-PC). Taking advantage of enormous Cu particles in the composite as well as ultrahigh surface area (196.7 m 2 /g) of carbon support, Cu/C-PC presents prominent catalytic activity for the hydrogenation reduction 4-NP to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) with apparent rate constant ( K app ) of 0.0267 s −1 (the ratio of K app to the catalyst amount is 119 s −1 g −1 ), which is dramatically higher than that previous reports. On the contrary, after being washed successively (Cu/C-PC-AW) by FeCl 3 , HCl aqueous solution and deionized water , the Cu/C porous composite materials exhibit fairly weak catalytic activity. The catalytic performance of Cu/C-PC is better than Cu, Cu 2 O and CuO nanoparticles as well as other catalysts in previous reports. Furthermore, Cu/C-PC shows excellent reusability, indicating its potential applications in treatment of water pollution.

In this work, Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 thin films were prepared by sol-gel methods based on dimethyl sulfoxide solutions with H 3 BO 3 additive. The morphological, structural, compositional and photovoltaic properties of the Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 thin films were investigated. We found that the formation of voids, cracks and fine-grain layers were suppressed effectively with slight H 3 BO 3 . Based on the decrease of these micro defects, the series resistance decreased and shunt resistance increased largely. And the band gap of CZTSSe solar cells broaden from 1.031 eV to 1.064 eV. The best solar cell showed an open-circuit voltage of 440.1 mV, short-circuit current density of 28.15 mA/cm 2 , fill factor of 58.81% and power conversion efficiency of 7.27% under air mass 1.5 (100 mW/cm 2 ) illumination.

R -2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)propionicacid (HPOPA) is a valuable intermediate for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure aryloxyphenoxypropionic acid herbicides. In this work, to improve the HPOPA biosynthesis by Beauveria bassiana ZJB16002 from the substrate R -2-phenoxypropionic acid (POPA), the original HPOPA producer B. bassiana ZJB16002 was subjected to physical mutagenesis with 137 Cs-γ irradiation and chemical mutagen N -methyl- N' -nitro- N -nitrasoguanidine (NTG) induced mutagenesis. The effects of different treatment doses of the mutagens on the lethal rate and positive mutation rate were investigated, and the results showed that the optimal 137 Cs-γirradiation dose and NTG concentration was 850 Gy and 500 µg/mL, respectively. Under these conditions, a mutant strain CCN-7 with the highest HPOPA production capacity was obtained through two rounds of 137 Cs-γ irradiation treatment followed by one round of NTG mutagenesis. At the substrate (POPA) concentration of 50 g/L, HPOPA titer of CCN-7 reached 36.88 g/L, which was 9.73-fold higher than the parental strain. The morphology of the wild-type and mutant strain was compared and the results might provide helpful information in exploration of the correlation of morphology and biochemical features of B. bassiana .
