A biosensor for determination of 3-chloro-1, 2-propandiol (3-MCPD) was developed based on the electrochemically catalytic reduction by hemoglobin (Hb). Hb was concentrated and immobilized with magnetic molecularly imprinted nanoparticles (MMIPs NPs). The MMIP NPs had a core-shell structure, with magnetic Fe 3 O 4 NPs as the core and SiO 2 as the shell. MMIPs NPs were modified on the surface of a magnetic electrode to constitute the Hb enzyme-like sensor. The biosensor could catalyze the electrochemical reduction of 3-MCPD, and a direct electrochemical determination of 3-MCPD could be achieved for the first time. The biosensor, where Hb immobilized with MMIPs NPs had high electrochemical response for 3-MCPD, increased by 37.5% compared with Hb immobilized with magnetic non-imprinted nanoparticle (MNIPs NPs). The biosensor increased the response by 19.56% again under an external magnetic field . The reduction peak current had a linear relationship with 3-MCPD concentration ranging from 1.0 mg·L −1 to 160 mg·L −1 with a detection limit (S/N = 3) of 0.25 mg·L −1 . The biosensor was applied to the determination of 3-MCPD in soy sauce samples successfully with recoveries between 97.4% and 99.6%.

Mycelial pellets prepared using a marine-derived Penicillium janthinellum sp. strain (P1) were applied as biosorbents to remove dyes from aqueous solutions. Nine different dyes were studied and the effects of pH and salt concentration on the decolorization processes were investigated. The results showed that the mycelial pellet was effective in removing dyes from their water solutions. Moreover, it was found that pH was an important factor of the decolorization process and the best dye removal performance was achieved when pH = 5.0. The adsorption process of the live mycelial pellets was not affected by high salt concentrations. In addition, the mycelial pellets retained 91.3% of the original decolorization activity after five reusing cycles without any desorption treatments. The adsorption isotherms indicated that the biosorption process agreed well with the Langmuir isotherm model with a maximum biosorption capacity of 344.83 mg g(dry) − 1 and the kinetic adsorption results showed that the biosorption process followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

Rational design and construction of highly efficient and durable non-noble-metal bifunctional catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial to promote the widespread implementation of rechargeable Zn-air batteries. Herein, a bifunctional catalyst comprising Co nanoparticles uniformly embedded in hollow nitrogen doped carbon tubes (Co@hNCTs) is fabricated by a facile tube-directed templating strategy. In this strategy, surfactant-treated polypyrrole (PPy) nanotubes serve as the structure-guiding templates for efficient capture of Co 2+ , realizing the in-situ growth of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-67 (ZIF-67) nanocrystals on PPy nanotubes . Sodium laurylsulfonate acts as anionic surfactant to endow PPy nanotubes with functional electronegative surface and strong anchoring effect toward ZIF-67, playing the pivotal role in binding of ZIF-67 nanocrystals with PPy nanotubes potently. Consequently, the developed catalyst presents a superior ORR activity with the half-wave potential of 0.87 V excellent durability with only a 7 mV loss of half-wave potential after 5000 cycles. The catalyst also exhibits superior catalytic performance for OER. When serving as an air electrode in Zn-air batteries, a large power density of 149 mW cm −2 and long-term cyclability for over 500 h are realized in ambient air, implying the great potential in practical application.

Using nitrogen, the morphological evolution of iron oxide/alkoxide particles was investigated by altering the reaction temperature in a one-pot solvothermal synthesis , resulting in a series of particles with different shapes, such as smooth sheet-like, rough sheet-like and cubic particles. The particle shape began to transform at 180 °C due to the altered crystallization and compositions, accompanied by the evolution of the magnetic properties without post-calcination. Based on the above research, large flower-like particles could be prepared by a two-step heating process. In virtue of the structural and morphological advantages, the flower-like particles were applied in fabricating a superwetting surface.

This communication reports the development of a new efficient visible-light-driven composite photocatalyst comprising ZnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles and conjugated polymer (CPVC) from the dehydrochlorination of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). ZnFe 2 O 4 /CPVC nanocomposites were synthesized via three main steps: (i) the synthesis of ZnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles by a sol-gel method; (ii) the adsorption of PVC in tetrahydrofuran solution by ZnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles to form ZnFe 2 O 4 /PVC nanocomposites; and (iii) the dehydrochlorination of PVC in the ZnFe 2 O 4 /PVC nanocomposites by heating at 150 °C for 2 h. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy characterization revealed that the as-synthesized product was core/shell structured ZnFe 2 O 4 /CPVC nanocomposites. The photocatalytic results demonstrated that the ZnFe 2 O 4 /CPVC nanocomposites had much higher photocatalytic activity than ZnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles in the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI) under visible-light (λ>420 nm) irradiation. Thus, ZnFe 2 O 4 /CPVC nanocomposites are promising for use as a new efficient visible-light-driven photocatalyst .

In this study, a one-pot sintering process incorporating sol–gel preparation route and in-situ carbon coating was proposed for the synthesis of carbon-coated nanosized LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 . Experimental results show that the prepared LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 particles are of high crystallinity and well-coated by turbostratic carbon. Attributed to nanosized particles and enhanced conductivity provided by turbostratic carbon coating, the carbon-coated LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 showed high rate performance and good cycling life in aqueous electrolyte. Particularly, the carbon-coated LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 exhibited initial specific capacities of 103 and 89 mAh g −1 , and retained 80.6% and 97% of the initial capacities after 120 cycles at 1C and 10C in aqueous electrolyte, respectively. The high rate performance and good cycling life of carbon-coated LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 in aqueous electrolyte reveal its potential as negative electrode in aqueous lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and industrial-scale energy storage systems .

Herein, a novel electrochemical hydrazine sensor has been successfully fabricated using N-doped carbon film-immobilized Au nanoparticles coated ZnO jungle on indium tin oxide (AuNPs@NC-ZnO/ITO) as working electrode. The AuNPs@NC-ZnO/ITO has been prepared by an in situ synthesis method through the following steps. Firstly, the ZnO jungle modified ITO was prepared by electrochemical deposition method. Then, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) film was formed on the surface of ZnO jungle by wet-chemical method using ZnO jungle and 2-methylimidazole as Zn precursor and organic ligand, respectively. The loading AuNPs was performed by adsorption of Au 3+ into micropores of ZIF-8, followed by heat treatment under N 2 atmosphere, where the ZIF-8 converted into N-doped carbon and Au 3+ converted into AuNPs embedded in N-doped carbon film. Most importantly, such AuNPs@NC-ZnO/ITO exhibited good electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of hydrazine. The hydrazine sensor based on AuNPs@NC-ZnO/ITO showed linear detection range from 0.05 to 10 μM and detection limit of 4.1 nM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3.

This paper introduced a general method of etching suspended graphene by nonmetallic SiO x nanoparticles (SiO x NPs) in graphene synthesis. Effects of etching time, concentration of silica gel and type of graphene on the etching mode of graphene have been systematically considered with using as-grown graphene film on a silica gel coating copper as model system. Nonmetallic SiO x NPs acted as etchant plays important role in the in situ etching process during the fabrication of graphene. The etched multilayer graphene pattern can be modulated from large area films to a rectangle pattern by varying the Si concentration and etching time, while single layer graphene pattern alters little. The morphology and critical structure of SiO x etched graphene were characterized by Raman spectra, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectrum. The process and mechanism described here open the way for tailoring graphene via nanoparticles instead of metal, which show significant influence of the electrical properties of graphene.

Polymer networks such as those of epoxy resin, as common protection materials, possess radiolytic oxidation degradation effects under gamma irradiation environment, which have a great accelerating effect on the ageing rate and severely limit their potential applications for metal protection in the nuclear industry. To overcome this, we report a simple scheme of anchoring crystalline ceria nanoparticles onto graphene sheets (CG) and incorporate it into the epoxy resin, followed by thermal polymerization to obtain CeO2/graphene-epoxy nanocomposite coating (CGNS). We had proven that graphene might act as “interwalls” in the epoxy matrix, which will result in space location-obstruct effect as well as absorb the radicals induced by γ-ray irradiation. Moreover, owing to the interconversion of cerium ions between their +3 and +4 states coupled with the formation of oxygen vacancy defects, electron spin resonance (ESR) detection shows that CeO2/graphene (CG) could act as a preferable radical scavenger and achieve better performance in trapping radicals than single graphene based composite. Electrochemical data strongly demonstrate that CeO2/graphene is capable of maintaining the anti-corrosion properties under gamma irradiation environment. Therefore, the designed hybrid CeO2/graphene-epoxy composite can be considered as potential candidates for protective coatings in nuclear industry.

In this work, the fluoroalkylsilane-modified SiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) were immobilized on the polyurethane sponges by a highly efficient drop-coating method using different polymers including poly(vinylidene fluoride), poly(vinylidene fluoride-ter-trifluoroethylene-ter-chlorotrifluoroethylene), polystyrene , and polyurethane as the adhesives to achieve the superhydrophobic modification of the polyurethane sponges for oil-water separation. The successful fluoroalkylsilane modification for the SiO 2 NPs was confirmed by TEM, SEM , FITR, XPS, and TGA. Furthermore, the surface-modified polyurethane sponges were investigated by SEM and two-dimensional EDS mapping. The contact angles of the surface-modified polyurethane sponges were in the range of 151.6°–154.3°, which confirmed the realization of the superhydrophobic modification for the polyurethane sponges. The demonstration experiments showed that the resulting surface-modified polyurethane sponge could effectively remove oil from the oil-water mixture by direct absorption or gravity-driven filtration. Moreover, the surface-modified polyurethane sponges possessed not only high absorption capability for different oils including peanut oil, pump oil, and silicone oil but also good reusability . We believe that such novel surface-modified polyurethane sponges might be potential candidates for the oil-water separation.

In this work, we prepared a hollow Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles (NPs) immobilized reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/carbon monolith (HCGCM) via a one-step carbonization method. The doping of nanomaterial and transition metal oxide can improve the poor conductivity and low capacitance of pure carbonaceous materials. The optimal addition concentration of polystyrene microspheres as a template provided the HCGCM composite with a hierarchical pore structure and a large specific surface area (1600 cm 2 /g), which is conducive to generating sufficient electroactive sites. At the same time, three dimensional (3D) interconnected pores shorten ion transport paths and reduced diffusion resistance of ions. Due to the existence of pseudocapacitive behavior, the HCGCM composite, as an electrode material working in a three-electrode system, achieved a high capacitance value of 1106 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g. In two-electrode system, the asymmetric supercapacitor had excellent stability performance and remained about 86.7% capacitance after 5000 cycles test. Moreover, it also exhibited a maximum energy density of 66.7 Wh/kg at power density of 750 W/kg. Thus, the strategy of manufacturing 3D porous electrodes is beneficial to improve the overall electrochemical performance of supercapacitors .

The efficient delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs to the tumor tissues unavoidably encounters numerous obstacles, such as poor tumor targeting capability, slow intracellular drug release and massive accumulation in the liver. In this study, by self-assembling methoxy poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (lactide) block copolymer (mPEG-PLA) and hyaluronic acid-paclitaxel conjugate (HA-PTX), the composite nanoparticles (mPPHP NPs) were fabricated for efficient therapy of cancer. mPPHP NPs formed self-assembled nanoparticles (116 nm in diameter) with a narrow size distribution; and showed a rapid release of PTX in the presence of hyaluronidase and esterase . mPPHP NPs exhibited enhanced internalization by cells via CD44 receptors and selected cytotoxicity against A549 cells in vitro . More importantly, compared with other PTX formulations, mPPHP NPs were demonstrated to present the reduced liver accumulation, excellent tumor-targeting ability and superior antitumor efficacy in vivo , with a TIR of 75.9%. The multifunctional composite nanoparticles could be developed as a promising nano-carrier for improved therapeutic efficacy.
