Tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) isocyanurate (TBC) is one of the novel brominated flame retardants that has been widely used in consumer goods. Humans may be exposed to TBC daily. Studies showed that TBC can induce significant toxicity. However, there is currently no report on its in situ localization in organs. In this study, we aimed to develop a reliable and reproductive method to determine the in situ localization of TBC in mouse organs by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS). As commercially available matrices were not able to detect TBC in tissue section, we then developed a novel MALDI-IMS method based on 1,5-diaminonaphthalene hydrochloride and silver trifluoromethanesulfonate (NDA/AgOTf) as the matrix for the in situ localization of TBC. AgOTf used as the auxiliary matrix in the negative-ion mode showed an excellent MS signal of TBC. The detection limit of [2AgOTf + Br] - was at the μg/mL level. The developed MALDI-IMS method was successfully employed to obtain the TBC spatial distribution in the mouse organs collected from mice exposed to 160 mg/kg/day of TBC for 30 days. High-pressure liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy (HPLC-MS/MS) was also used to evaluate the accumulation of TBC in liver, kidney, heart, and brain. The combination of MALDI-IMS and HPLC-MS/MS showed that TBC can accumulate in mice organs and it is mainly distributed in the renal parenchyma. In summary, an innovative method was developed for the analysis of TBC spatial distribution by MALDI-IMS using a novel NDA/AgOTf matrix, extending the application of MALDI-IMS in environmental pollutants .

Narrowly distributed poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) was synthesized by the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (CL) using tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (B(C6F5)3) as an acidic catalyst and benzyl alcohol (BnOH) as the initiator in bulk at 80 °C. The use of functional initiators such as 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), propargyl alcohol (PGA), 6-azido-1-hexanol (AHA) and methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) leads to end-functionalized PCLs. 1H NMR, SEC and MALDI-TOF MS measurements clearly indicate the presence of an initiator residue at the chain end of the obtained PCL homopolymers. The study on polymerization kinetics confirms the controlled/living nature of the B(C6F5)3-catalyzed ROP of CL. Accordingly, the block copolymerization of CL with δ-valerolactone (VL) and trimethylene carbonate (TMC) successfully proceeded to give PCL-b-PVL and PCL-b-PTMC copolymers. Macrocyclic PCL was also prepared by the intramolecular click reaction of the heterotelechelic α-azido,ω-ethynyl-PCL.

Dual-ion batteries (DIBs) were demonstrated as a promising technology for large-scale energy storage due to their low cost, recyclability, and impressively fast charge capability. Graphite as a commonly used cathode material in DIBs, however, suffers from poor compatibility with commercial Li-ion electrolytes and graphite anodes, making it difficult to directly utilize the well-established infrastructure for Li-ion batteries. Herein, we report a small aromatic amine molecule 4,4′,4″-tris(diphenylamino)triphenylamine (N4) functioning as a compatible anion host in the EC-containing Li-ion electrolyte. With an average discharge voltage of 3.6 V (vs. Li+/Li), the N4 electrode delivers a reversible specific capacity of 108 mAh/g, which is much higher than 29 mAh/g for the graphite cathode at the same condition. The high capacity retention of 91.3% was achieved after 500 cycles at 1 A/g. The N4 electrode also exhibited good rate performance. Via different characterization techniques like Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the energy storage mechanism of N4 was revealed as a conversion between amine and quaternary amine cations, accompanied by PF6−(de-)insertion. As consequences, the assembled N4||graphite DIB w showed a high discharge capacity of 90 mAh/g within 1.5–4.1 V, and good cycling stability with a 98% capacity retention after 40 cycles. Decent rate performance was achieved in the N4||graphite DIB as well. This work provides new insights into designing a compatible anion host for affordable DIBs.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are microporous materials that consist of metal ions or clusters and organic ligands. Their luminescence activities can be improved by functionalization, and the present work describes the synthesis of a luminescence-functionalized MOF in which tris(2,2′-bipyridyl) dichlororuthenium(II) hexahydrate (Ru(bpy) 3 2+ ) was introduced into the MOF. The synthesized RuMOF was then fabricated as an ECL sensor that can be used for the rapid and sensitive detection of melamine in dairy products. The optimum detection conditions were established by single-factor analysis and surface response multivariate optimization. Under optimum conditions, the ECL intensity was proportional to log(melamine) concentration in the range 10 −10 –10 −4 M with a detection limit of about 3.8 × 10 −11 M (signal/noise = 3). In an application to the detection of melamine in milk and infant formula powder, recoveries in the range 98–104% and 95–103%, respectively were obtained from spiked samples. Thus this novel ECL sensor represents a potentially valuable product for the analysis of melamine food samples.

In the present article, a new separation system was employed for the extraction of cadmium from nitric acid solutions for the first time. Phosphine oxide, tris[(dibutylamino)methyl]-(7CI,8CI),which contains nitrogen atoms and phosphorus atom in molecular, was used as extractant. The influence of the following parameters was investigated: the organic/aqueous phase ratio (O/A), pH, contact time, temperature, the concentration of extractant, cadmium (Ⅱ), sodium nitrate and sodium chloride. Results demonstrated that quantitative extraction of cadmium was feasible from 50 mg/L cadmium feed solution in a single stage at pH 3.0, 15 min and O/A phase ratio 1:5 with 20% extractant in cyclohexane diluent. The cadmium extraction isotherm under different cadmium ion concentrations was established. The loaded cadmium could be stripped by 4 mol/L ammonium chloride aqueous solutions. A contrast study was carried out, and the results indicated that phosphine oxide, tris[(dibutylamino)methyl] –(7CI,8CI), could take the place of commercial organo-phosphorous extractants in the process of cadmium(II) extractions for its effectivity, stability and low price.

Tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCIPP) is a widely used organophosphate ester that can adversely affect animal or human health. The intestinal microbiota is critical to human health. High-dose exposure to TDCIPP can markedly affect the intestinal ecosystem of mice, but the effects of long-term exposure to lower concentrations of TDCIPP on the intestinal flora and body metabolism remain unclear. In this study, TDCIPP was administered to Sprague–Dawley rats by gavage at a dose of 13.3 mg/kg bw/day for 90 days. TDCIPP increased the relative weight of the kidneys ( P = 0.017), but had no effect on the relative weight of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, testes, and ovaries ( P > 0.05). 16 S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that long-term TDCIPP exposure affected the diversity, relative abundance, and functions of rat gut microbes. The serum metabolomics of the rats showed that TDCIPP can disrupt the serum metabolic profiles, result in the up-regulation of 26 metabolites and down-regulation of 3 metabolites, and affect multiple metabolic pathways in rat sera. In addition, the disturbed genera and metabolites were correlated. The functions of some disturbed gut microbes were consistent with the affected metabolic pathways in the sera, and these metabolic pathways were all associated with kidney disease, suggesting that TDCIPP may cause kidney injury in rats by affecting the intestinal flora and serum metabolism.

Electrochemiluminescence(ECL) is a powerful transduction technique used in biosensing and in vitro diagnosis, while the mechanism of ECL generation is complicated and affected by various factors. Herein the effect of ionic strength on ECL generation by the classical tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II)[Ru(bpy) 3 2+ ]/tri- n -propylamine(TPrA) system was investigated. It is clear that the ECL intensity decreases significantly with the increase of ionic strength, most likely arising from the reduced deprotonation rate of TPrA +· . We further combined microtube electrode(MTE) with ECL microscopy to unravel the evolution of ECL layer with the variation of ionic strength. At a low concentration of Ru(bpy) 3 2+ , the thickness of ECL layer(TEL) nearly kept unchanged with the ionic strength, indicating the surface-confined ECL generation is dominated by the oxidative-reduction route. While at a high concentration of Ru(bpy) 3 2+ , ECL generation is dominated by the catalytic route and TEL increases remarkably with the increase of ionic strength, because of the extended diffusion length of Ru(bpy) 3 3+ at a reduced concentration of TPrA · .

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is traditionally performed using noble-metals catalysts, e.g. Pt. However, these metal-based catalysts have the drawbacks of high costs, low selectivity, poor stabilities, and detrimental environmental effects. Here, we describe metal-free nitrogen-doped carbon nanoblocks (NCNBs) with high nitrogen contents (4.11%), which have good electrocatalytic properties for ORRs. This material was fabricated using a scalable, one-step process involving the pyrolysis of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) at 800 °C. Rotating ring disk electrode measurements show that the NCNBs give a high electrocatalytic performance and have good stability in ORRs. The onset potential of the catalyst for the ORR is −0.05 V (vs Ag/AgCl), the ORR reduction peak potential is −0.20 V (vs Ag/AgCl), and the electron transfer number is 3.4. The NCNBs showed pronounced electrocatalytic activity, improved long-term stability, and better tolerance of the methanol crossover effect compared with a commercial 20 wt% Pt/C catalyst. The composition and structure of, and nitrogen species in, the NCNBs were investigated using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The pyrolysis of Tris at high temperature increases the number of active nitrogen sites, especially pyridinic nitrogen, which creates a net positive charge on adjacent carbon atoms, and the high positive charge promotes oxygen adsorption and reduction. The results show that NCNBs prepared by pyrolysis of Tris as nitrogen and carbon sources are a promising ORR catalyst for fuel cells.

The ubiquity and ecotoxicity of tri (1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCPP) in aquatic environments make it essential to develop efficient related treatment techniques. The present research aims to systematically explore the mechanisms and toxicity changes of TDCPP degradation through UV-driven hydrogen peroxide process (UV/H 2 O 2 ). The results revealed degradation efficiency of TDCPP attained 95 % with 0.5 mM H 2 O 2 , corresponding to a reaction rate constant ( k ) of 0.04919 min −1 . Furthermore, three typical chlorinated OPEs (Cl-OPEs) were simultaneously degraded by the UV/H 2 O 2 process, with different degradation efficiencies, according to the following order: TCEP

In this study, feather keratin/polyvinyl alcohol/tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (FK/PVA/Tris) bionanocomposite films containing graphene oxide (GO) (0.5, 1, 2, and 3 wt%) or graphene (0.5, 1, 2, and 3 wt%) were prepared using a solvent casting method. The scanning electron microscopy results indicated that the dispersion of GO throughout the film matrix was better than that of graphene. The successful formation of new hydrogen bonds between the film matrix and GO was confirmed through the use of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The tensile strength, elastic modulus, and initial degradation temperature of the films increased, whereas the total soluble mass, water vapor permeability, oxygen permeability, and light transmittance decreased following GO or graphene incorporation. In summary, nanoblending is an effective method to promote the application of FK/PVA/Tris-based blend films in the packaging field.

Loose nanofiltration (LNF) membranes prepared by hydroxyl monomers with good dye rejection and inorganic salt permeation properties have attracted significant attention for treating salt-containing textile wastewater. This study adopted interfacial polymerization (IP) method to fabricate a novel polyester LNF membrane, in which tris (4-hydroxyphenyl) phosphine oxide (THPPO) with a steric structure was employed as the solely aqueous monomer. To enhance the solubility and esterification reaction activity of THPPO, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was specially adopted in aqueous phase, helping the development of the polyester selective layer. The findings demonstrated that the prepared ultrathin (30–38 nm) polyester selective layer exhibited a smooth surface with a negative charge. The optimal membrane LNF-0.05 exhibited a good water permeance of 20.8 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 , excellent rejection of anionic dyes (99.6 % for EBT, 99.3 % for CR, 98.8 % for DR 23, and 98.1 % for MB), and low rejection of monovalent salts (8.2 % for NaCl, 5.0 % for MgCl 2 ), showing excellent EBT/NaCl mixture selectivity as high as 221. The performance stability of the membranes was partially testified by continuous filtration process. These results confirm the significant application potential of tris-phenol phosphine oxide-based polyester LNF membrane for treating saline textile wastewater.

This study successfully constructed a direct Z-scheme TP-WO3 heterojunction photocatalytic system via an in situ compositing strategy for the photoassisted Fenton degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride in aqueous environments. The composite formed an intimate interfacial contact between TP and WO3, effectively facilitating the separation and migration of photogenerated charge carriers. Experiments demonstrated that TP-WO3(0.7) achieved a degradation efficiency of 92.34% for 10 ppm tetracycline within 75 min under visible light irradiation with H2O2 assistance, with a reaction rate constant (2.731 × 10–2 min–1) significantly higher than those of the individual components. Radical trapping experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis confirmed that h+, •OH, and •O2– were the main active species. This study provides a feasible design strategy and experimental basis for developing efficient and stable organic–inorganic Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalytic materials.
