Liquid crystal (LC) droplets exhibit unique and sensitive response behaviors to surface absorptions, making them promising candidates for sensing aplications. Here, we have developed a label-free, portable, and cost-effective sensor for the specific and rapid detection of silver ions (Ag + ) in drinking-water samples. To achieve this, we have modified cytidine into a surfactant (denoted as C10–M–C) and anchored it onto the surface of LC droplets. The specific binding ability between cytidine and Ag + enables LC droplets anchored with C10–M–C to respond rapidly and specifically to Ag + ions. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the response meets requirements for the harmless concentration of Ag + in drinking-water. The sensor we developed is label-free, portable, and cost-effectively. We believe that the sensor reported here can be applied to the detection of Ag + in drinking-water and environmental samples.

Ionic covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold great promise in regulating the structure of polyamide nanofiltration membranes for divalent ions removal. In this work, we demonstrate cationic COF (cCOF) nanosheets engineered polyamide membrane with excellent divalent cations rejection. cCOF nanosheets as versatile regulator and an interlayer accelerate the self-sealing and self-termination of interfacial polymerization between polyethyleneimine and trimesoyl chloride, endowing membranes with dense network and small thickness. Meanwhile, the quaternary ammonium groups on cCOF nanosheets increase positive charges on membranes. Through synergistic intensification of electrostatic repulsion and size sieving, the resulting cCOF-PA membranes display excellent rejection for divalent cations (MgCl 2 , 99.3%), superior to most reported polyethyleneimine-based polyamide membranes. This work highlights the significance of ionic COF materials in developing positively charged membranes for efficient ionic and molecular separations.

In this work, the low-temperature oxidation of polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether (OME 3 ) with multi-component surrogates for diesel (DS:60%n-heptane/20%cyclohexane/20%toluene) and gasoline (GS:20%n-heptane/60%iso-octane/20%toluene) blends was investigated respectively using a jet-stirred reactor (JSR) with a temperature range of 500–950 K, constant fuel fraction of 0.008, residence time (τ) of 2 s and near atmospheric pressure. Two detailed multi-component kinetic mechanisms were established to describe the low-temperature oxidation characteristics and the interaction of blended fuels. Generally, the oxidation process of highly-reactive OME 3 and n-heptane is inhibited, while that of inactive fuels, including iso-octane, cyclohexane and toluene, are triggered and enhanced in various degrees in the blends. The OH radical acts as a bridge between high and low reactivity components. It is of interest that n-heptane reveals a quite different low-temperature oxidation behavior in diesel (DS) and gasoline (GS) surrogate respectively. In GS, the low-temperature oxidation of n-heptane is significantly inhibited, while in DS, the inhibition is mild, mainly due to the much different low-temperature oxidation characteristics of iso-octane and cyclohexane. As for OME 3 , it mainly improves the reactivity of the blends in the negative temperature coefficient (NTC) process. As for low-reactivity fuels of iso-octane and toluene, their low-temperature oxidations are completely triggered and dominated by highly-reactive fuels due to their weak OH build-up ability. On the contrary, when the low-temperature oxidation of cyclohexane is triggered, its self-enhancement also plays a crucial role in addition to the promoting effect from highly-reactive fuels. Therefore, cyclohexane reveals a promoting-ignition effect on the blended fuels, while iso-octane and toluene act as an inhibiting-ignition factor in blends.

Nitroxide-mediated polymerization (NMP) is known to be a simple reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) method for preparing well defined polymers. In compared with other RDRP methods, NMP was highlighted by the clean and low toxic product which is favorable for some sensitive biological and electronic applications. Here we reported the first case of oxygen tolerance nitroxide-mediated miniemulsion polymerization, by introducing glucose oxidase (GOx) and ascorbic acid (AsAc) to the system. Without degassing treatment, the miniemulsion polymerization can be carried on using alkoxyamine 3-(((2-cyanopropan-2-yl)oxy) (cyclohexyl)amino)-2,2-dimethyl-3-phenylpropanenitrile (Dispolreg 007) as the initiator. The oxygen tolerance NMP miniemulsion exhibited similar living and control behavior to the degassing system, and the chain extension could also be performed without degassing. The characteristics of this enzyme assisted oxygen tolerant heterogeneous NMP may provide exciting new opportunities for increased versatility of NMP polymerization in preparation of polymeric nano-objects.

A H 2 O 2 etching strategy was adopted to introduce coordinatively unsaturated sites (CUS) on MoS 2 -based catalysts for dibenzothiophene (DBT) hydrodesulfurization (HDS). The CUS concentrations on MoS 2 slabs were finely regulated by changing the concentrations of H 2 O 2 solution. With the increasing H 2 O 2 concentrations (0.1–0.3 mol/L), The CUS concentrations on MoS 2 slabs increased gradually. However, the high-concentration H 2 O 2 etching (0.5 mol/L) increased the MoO x S y and MoO 3 contents on MoS 2 slabs compared to etching with the H 2 O 2 concentration of 0.3 mol/L, which led to the less CUS concentration in the sulfided Mo–H-0.5 catalyst than in the sulfided Mo–H-0.3 catalyst. A microstructure-activity correlation indicated that the CUS introduced by H 2 O 2 etching on MoS 2 slabs significantly enhanced DBT HDS. Different Co loadings were further introduced into Mo–H-0.3, which had the most CUS concentration, and the corresponding 0.2-CoMo catalyst with the highest CoMoS content (3.853 wt%) exhibited the highest reaction rate constant of 6.95 × 10 −6 mol g −1 s −1 among these CoMo catalysts.

In this study, lipoxygenase (LOX) extracted from dry-cured mackerel was purified, resulting in a 4.1-fold purification factor with a specific activity of 493.60 U/min·g. LOX enzymatic properties were assessed, referring to its optimal storage time (1–2 days), temperature (30 °C), and pH value (7.0). The autoxidation and LOX-induced oxidation of palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic acid (C18:0), oleic acid (C18:2n9c), linoleic acid (C18:2n6c), arachidonic acid (C20:4), EPA (C20:5), and DHA (C22:6n3) were simulated to explore the main metabolic pathways of key flavors in dry-cured mackerel. The results showed that the highest LOX activity was observed when arachidonic acid was used as a substrate. Aldehydes obtained from LOX-treated C18:1n9c and C18:2n6c oxidation, which are important precursors of flavors, were the most abundant. The key flavors in dry-cured mackerel were found in the oxidative products of C16:0, C18:0, C18:1n9c, C18:2n6c, and C20:4. Heptanaldehyde could be produced from autoxidation or LOX-induced oxidation of C18:0 and C18:1n9c, while nonal could be produced from C18:1n9c and C18:2n6c oxidation. Metabolic pathway analysis revealed that C18:1n9c, C18:2n6c, EPA, and DHA made great contributions to the overall flavor of dry-cured mackerel. This study may provide a relevant theoretical basis for the scientific control of the overall taste and flavor of dry-cured mackerel and further standardize its production.Keywords:lipoxygenase;fatty acids;autoxidation;enzymatic oxidation;volatile compounds

Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) is difficult to demonstrate its excellent performance in the coatings due to its high entanglement between molecular chains. Inspired by the phase inversion of emulsions, the EPDM/PBMA organic dispersion was prepared through the penetration and in-situ polymerization of BMA . In this strategy, the increased solubility parameter of PBMA after polymerization led to the transition of EPDM from the continuous phase to the dispersed phase, and the disentangled chain of EPDM shrank back to the shape of rod or ball. The shape of the dispersed phase was related to the interfacial tension. Particularly, the main chains of PBMA were arranged at the interface rather than buried in EPDM to maintain the stability of the organic dispersion. The EPDM/PBMA organic dispersion had excellent elasticity, bending, dispersion stability, insulation, adhesion to the glass, and aging resistance. This study indicated that the EPDM/PBMA organic dispersion could be applied as the promising protective coating for flexible electronic devices.

Graphical [+] These authors contributed equally to this articleDurable CuO/ZnO/CeO 2 /ZrO 2 catalyst on SiC support for methanol steam reforming was prepared by the combination of inverse microemulsion method and precipitation method. The methanol conversion of the catalyst was still reached 98.8 % after 150 h, considerably higher than that of solution combustion method (70 %), without carbon deposition and pronounced sintering after the reaction. Durable CuO/ZnO/CeO 2 /ZrO 2 catalyst on SiC support for methanol steam reforming (MSR) was prepared by the combination of inverse microemulsion method and precipitation method which is termed as inverse microemulsion/precipitation method. The presence of Ce−O−Zr solid solution facilitated the production of oxygen vacancies and Ce 3+ species in the prepared CuO/ZnO/CeO 2 /ZrO 2 catalyst. Owing to the unique tiny reaction pool and the addition of precipitant for inverse microemulsion/precipitation method, the particle size of the prepared catalyst was principally between 2 and 6 nm, with an average size of 3.66 nm. Besides, the small particle size and the highly dispersed of Cu species boosted the reduction performance of the catalyst, enabling the reduction temperature to be only 201 °C. The methanol conversion of the reduced catalyst was still reached 98.8 % after 150 h, considerably higher than that of solution combustion method (70 %), without carbon deposition and pronounced sintering after MSR reaction.

Surface tension is a crucial factor in the crystallization of organic semiconductors from solutions. However, the current conclusions based on experimental results have been primarily empirical and qualitative, making it hard to distinguish the role of surface tension from other solvent properties. In this study, we employed both molecular dynamics simulations and experiments to investigate crystal nuclei behavior at the liquid-air interface. Through equilibrium simulations and free energy calculations, we quantitatively described the moving behavior of nuclei in various solvents, relating it to an interfacial transition, in terms of interfacial tension. Nuclei tend to remain at the liquid-air interface if the surface tension of solvents is higher than the surface free energy of nuclei but sink into the bulk liquid otherwise. Furthermore, aside from governing the nuclei behavior, surface tension also determines the crystallization location, as confirmed through growing crystals on substrates with Ag nanowires as impediments. By clarifying the role of surface tension, our research contributes to the knowledge of solution crystallization of organic semiconductors and the establishment of a framework for tuning processing conditions and crystal morphology for future studies.

Nonionic polyether water clarifier is commonly used in the treatment of produced water from offshore oilfield. At the meantime, hydrophobically modified polyacrylamide (HMPAM) is one of the commonly used polymer oil displacement agents. Predicting the influence of HMPAM on the performance of nonionic polyether water clarifier is of great significance for the treatment of produced water. This work explored the influence of different HMPAMs on the hydrophilic-lipophilic deviation (HLD) equation of a typical nonionic polyether water clarifier AE411 based on the HLD theory, and predicted their influences on the performance of AE411. The results showed that HMPAM had no effect on the parameter K (reflecting the interaction between AE411 hydrophilic groups and oil phase) and c t (reflecting the temperature sensitivity of AE411) in HLD equation of AE411, but reduced the parameter C cn (reflecting the micelle structure of AE411 in water) and led to an increase in temperature corresponding to AE411′s HLD = 0. It was predicted that higher temperature was needed to ensure the performance of AE411. The experimental results of produced water treatment confirmed this prediction. The results of the paper validated the reliability of HLD application in the field of produced water treatment and provided some guidance for the development of nonionic polyether water clarifier.

The roles of enzymatic (Lipoxygenases, LOX) oxidation and autoxidation in the dry-cured processing of mackerel were investigated by adding exogenous substances in this study. Four groups, namely control, chlorogenic acid (inhibiting LOX activity), EDTA-2Na (inhibiting autoxidation), and exogenous LOX (adding eLOX), were assigned. The results showed that lipid oxidation of mackerel was reduced by inhibiting LOX activity and autoxidation, while adding eLOX promoted lipid oxidation. Inhibition of LOX activity and autoxidation suppressed fatty acid accumulation mainly in the air-drying and curing stage, respectively. The total contents of key flavors in the mackerel during dry-cured processing were decreased by inhibiting LOX activity and autoxidation, and the former inhibitory effect was stronger than autoxidation, while it was corresponding increased through adding eLOX, of particular in the later stage of air-drying. Collectively, LOX could promote the flavor formation of the mackerel in the dry-cured processing, which could be applied in the flavor adjustment of aquatic products or some similar fields.

High color purity blue quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) have great potential applications in the field of ultra-high-definition display. However, the realization of eco-friendly pure-blue QLEDs with a narrow emission linewidth for high color purity remains a significant challenge. Herein, a strategy for fabricating high color purity and efficient pure-blue QLEDs based on ZnSeTe/ZnSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) is presented. It is found that by finely controlling the internal ZnSe shell thickness of the QDs, the emission linewidth can be narrowed by reducing the exciton-longitudinal optical phonon coupling and trap states in the QDs. Additionally, the regulation of the QD shell thickness can suppress the Förster energy transfer between QDs in the QLED emission layer, which will help to reduce the emission linewidth of the device. As a result, the fabricated pure-blue (452 nm) ZnSeTe QLED with ultra-narrow electroluminescence linewidth (22 nm) exhibit high color purity with the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage chromatic coordinates of (0.148, 0.042) and considerable external quantum efficiency (18%). This work provides a demonstration of the preparation of pure-blue eco-friendly QLEDs with both high color purity and efficiency, and it is believed that it will accelerate the application process of eco-friendly QLEDs in ultra-high-definition displays.
