A dual-ligand Cu-MOFs (Cu-F/Hs) based on phenylalanine (Phe) and histidine (His) was innovatively constructed with enhanced catalytic property. Among them, Phe can interact with the dopamine (DA) to enhance the substrate affinity. Meanwhile, the coordination of His with copper ions was inspired by the active site structure of natural laccase to improve the catalytic activity. The K m value of Cu-F/Hs was 0.14 times of laccase, indicating a high affinity for the catalytic substrate DA. Accordingly, a sensitive sensor for PD-L1 detection was designed by using Cu-F/Hs, which can catalyze DA to form redox-active polymeric conjugates deposited on the electrode surface with good electrical conductivity, thereby contributing a “signal-down” electrochemical response with a double signal enhancement. The detection limit was 0.12 ng/mL in the detection range of 0.5 – 200 ng/mL. This work provided a new and simple way to synthesize MOFs with high substrate affinity and efficient activity, and a general signal amplification strategy induced by the catalytic deposition.

A BrO3–-modified Bi2O3/Bi(OH)3 heterojunction photocatalyst was in situ fabricated by a facile one-pot method and applied in photocatalytic nitrogen fixation. In comparison with Bi(OH)3, the Bi2O3/Bi(OH)3 heterojunction has a larger specific surface area from the nanoflower-like morphology and an extended visible light absorption range. Of special importance, the proper band gap match between Bi(OH)3 and Bi2O3, the multiple charge transfer channels via the BrO3– bridge, and the oriented electron migration in the type-II heterojunction mechanism make a stronger charge separation efficiency. Therefore, the BiO/BiHO-3 sample presented the highest photocatalytic nitrogen reduction performance with an ammonia production rate of 45.28 μmol g–1 h–1, which was 10 times higher than that of Bi(OH)3. Photogenerated cavities are consumed during H2O oxidation to produce O2 and H2O2. However, the O2 production was small, and the H2O2 yield was about 78.5 μmol g–1 h–1. For CO2 reduction, the CO production rate was 52.86 μmol g–1 h–1, which was 1.6 and 1.9 times those of Bi(OH)3 and Bi2O3. This work provides useful guidance for the design and synthesis of efficient catalysts for photocatalytic N2 fixation.

In order to better utilize chitinolytic enzymes to produce high-value N -acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) from chitinous waste, there is an urgent need to explore bi-functional chitinases with exceptional properties of temperature, pH and metal tolerance. In this study, we cloned and characterized a novel bi-functional cold-adaptive chitinase called Ca Chi18A from a newly isolated strain, Chitinilyticum aquatile CSC-1, in Bama longevity village of Guangxi Province, China. The activity of Ca Chi18A at 50 °C was 4.07 U/mg. However, it exhibited significant catalytic activity even at 5 °C. Its truncated variant Ca Chi18A_ΔChBDs, containing only catalytic domain, demonstrated significant activity levels, exceeding 40 %, over a temperature range of 5–60 °C and a pH range of 3 to 10. It was noteworthy that it displayed tolerance towards most metal ions at a final concentration of 0.1 mM, including Fe 3+ and Cu 2+ ions, retaining 122.52 ± 0.17 % and 116.42 ± 1.52 % activity, respectively. Additionally, it exhibited favorable tolerance towards organic solvents with the exception of formic acid. Interestedly, Ca Chi18A and Ca Chi18A_ΔChBDs had a low K m value towards colloidal chitin (CC), 0.94 mg mL −1 and 2.13 mg mL −1 , respectively. Both enzymes exhibited chitobiosidase and N -acetyl-D-glucosaminidase activities, producing GlcNAc as the primary product when hydrolyzing CC. The high activities across a broader temperature and pH range, strong environmental adaptability, and hydrolytic properties of Ca Chi18A_ΔChBDs suggested that it could be a promising candidate for GlcNAc production.

Hypoxia in tumor cells is regarded as the most crucial cause of clinical drug resistance and radio-resistance; thus, relieving hypoxia of tumor cells is the key to enhancing the efficacy of anticancer therapy. As a gas signal molecule of vasodilatation factors, nitric oxide (NO) can relieve the hypoxia status of tumor cells, thereby, enhancing the sensitivity of tumor cells to radiotherapy. However, considering complications of vascular activity, the level of NO required for radiotherapy sensitization cannot be obtained in vivo. In view of this, we design and fabricate a multifunctional bismuth-based nanotheranostic agent, which is functionalized with S-nitrosothiol and termed Bi–SNO NPs. X-rays break down the S–N bond and simultaneously trigger large amount of NO-releasing (over 60 μM). Moreover, the as-prepared Bi–SNO NPs not only possess the capability of absorbing and converting 808 nm NIR photons into heat for photothermal therapy, but also have the ability to increase X-ray absorption and CT imaging sensitivity. In addition, the collaborative radio-, photothermal-, and gas-therapy of Bi–SNO in vivo was further investigated and remarkable synergistic tumor inhibition was realized. Finally, no obvious toxicity of Bi–SNO NPs was observed in the treated mice within 14 days. Therefore, the Bi–SNO developed in this work is an effective nano-agent for cancer theranostics with well-controlled morphology and uniform size (36 nm), which could serve as a versatile CT imaging-guided combined radio-, photothermal- and gas-therapy nanocomposite with negligible side effects.

In this study, a sulfate radical-advanced oxidation process (SR-AOP) was proposed by utilizing a bimetallic Co/Fe metal-organic frameworks/cellulose nanofiber membrane (Co/Fe bi-MOFs/CNF) as a catalyst for TBBPA degradation. Sulfate radicals (SO 4 –) and hydroxyl radicals (OH · ) were generated through the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) by Co/Fe bi-MOFs/CNF. Co/Fe bi-MOFs/CNF was prepared by a facile solvothermal method and vacuum filtration. CNF acted as a natural substrates material to relieve the agglomeration of loaded MOFs . Additionally the composite membranes was easily separated from the reaction solution. The properties of the composite materials and the main factors that influenced TBBPA degradation were elucidated in detail, along with the TBBPA degradation intermediates, recyclability, and TBBPA degradation pathway. Almost 100 % of TBBPA was degraded within 30 min under optimal conditions, and the rate constant was determined to be 0.764 min −1 . Furthermore, the degradation rate of the composite membrane was 60 % after 4 cycles.

The introduction of oxygen-defects has been a versatile strategy to enhance photocatalysis efficiency. In this work, a 2D/3D Bi/BiO 2-x /Bi 2 WO 6 heterojunction photocatalyst with rich oxygen-defective was in sequence prepared through a facile solvothermal method , which displays favorable photocatalytic activity towards organic contaminants under visible-NIR light irradiation . The enhancement in photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect between oxygen-vacancy-rich heterojunction and the localized surface plasmon resonance induced by metallic Bi. The functional group interaction, surface morphology , crystal structure, element composition , and tuned bandgap were investigated by FT-IR, SEM, Raman shift, ICP-MS, and XPS technique. The spectrum response performance of the photocatalyst was verified by UV–visible DRS analysis. Results of photodegradation experiments toward organic contaminants showed that the prepared photocatalyst can degrade 90% of phenol in 20 mins under visible-NIR light irradiation, both Z-scheme heterojunction and the introduction of Bi metal contribute to the enhancement in the photocatalytic activity. The results of the DFT calculation suggest that the valence band-edge hybridization within BiO 2-x and Bi 2 WO 6 can effectively enhance the photocatalytic performance by increasing the migration efficiencies of electron-hole pairs. Moreover, a possible mechanism was proposed on the results of EIS, ESR and GC–MS tests. This work offers a novel insight for synthesizing efficient visible-NIR light photocatalysis by activating the semiconductors with Bi metal.

Developing cost-effective photocatalysts with efficient electron hole separation efficiency and excellent light absorption performance for the remediation of organic pollutants from wastewater is highly desirable. Herein, a new Z-Scheme Bi/BiVO 4 -CdS heterojunction with leaf-like morphology has been successfully fabricated for the first time and its application as a photocatalyst for the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) has been explored. Compared with BiVO 4 and Bi/BiVO 4 , the as-prepared Bi/BiVO 4 -CdS exhibits improved light absorption capacity and electron-hole separation efficiency, and it has a superior performance of photocatalytic degradation of TCH. The degradation ratio of TCH by Bi/BiVO 4 -CdS based photocatalysis reaches 85.5% within 30 min. The rate constant of TCH degradation for Bi/BiVO 4 -CdS is 1.32 and 1.18 times of the BiVO 4 and Bi/BiVO 4 , respectively. In addition, Bi/BiVO 4 -CdS displays a high stability without obvious decay for its TCH degradation efficiency (<5%) during four recycles. The ESR characterization and reactive species trapping experiments indicates that the generated h + , •O 2 – , and •OH from Bi/BiVO 4 -CdS based photocatalysis are responsible for TCH degradation. Since several intermediates are identified by HPLC-MS, the pathways for Bi/BiVO 4 -CdS based photocatalytic degradation of TCH are proposed.

Facile synthesis of high efficient bi-functional oxygen catalysts is important for large-scale application of rechargeable metal-air batteries . Herein, an ethanol-water mediated co-precipitation approach is applied to fabricate Co–Mn–Ni (CMN) ternary spinel oxides with uniform 1D structure. Their catalytic activities toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are investigated by the rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) techniques. The ternary spinel oxide with the Co/Mn/Ni atomic ratio of 2:3:1 (CMN-231) exhibits the best bi-functional activities among the as-prepared ternary, binary and unitary spinel oxides (△E is as low as 0.88 V), which can be attributed to its reasonable element composition , mesoporous nanorod structure, strong oxygen-adsorption ability and good charger-transfer capability. In addition, the CMN-231 catalyst demonstrates a strong stability during long-term operation. This well-designed catalyst is applied in a homemade zinc-air battery, and exhibits good charge–discharge performances (voltage gap is 0.9 V at 50 mA cm −2 ) and remarkable cycling stability.

Phase junction construction and surface modification are two practical engineering strategies towards efficient photocatalysis. In the present work, the A natase/ R utile biphasic TiO 2 nanoparticles@ M oS 2 nanosheets ( ARM ) heterojunctions were directly constructed via one-step pyrolysis of TiO(OH) 2 and (NH 4 ) 2 MoS 4 in LiCl-KCl molten salt. Phase junction is verified at the interface between anatase and rutile TiO 2 , which efficiently enhances spatial charge separation. With further incorporating MoS 2 over TiO 2 to facilitate kinetics of surface redox reactions, the ARM with an optimal MoS 2 weight ratio of 5% exhibits significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity towards solar-driven hydrogen evolution, achieving a hydrogen production rate comparable to the Pt/TiO 2 . The detailed characterization highlights the merits of molten-salt pyrolysis to modulate compositional/structural rationales of photocatalysts utilizing the synergistic effect of anatase/rutile phase junction and surface TiO 2 -MoS 2 heterojunction . The present study provides a facile approach to enable surface and interface engineering in one step.

Three morphologies of Bi-modified titanate nanomaterials (Bi-TNM) were prepared using the hydrothermal method and controlled parameters to degrade acetaminophen (ACT). ACT is a high-consumption drug that exists widely in natural waters and wastewaters. The prepared samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and zeta potential analyzers. The morphological effect of Bi-TNM on the visible light-driven catalytic degradation of aqueous ACT was carefully investigated using bulk, flake, and ribbon-shaped titanate catalysts. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared catalysts was evaluated based on the effect of the catalyst morphology, the initial concentration of ACT, the catalyst dosage, and the solution pH. The optimal photocatalytic performance, kinetics, and mechanism of the Bi-TNM for the degradation of ACT were achieved, respectively. The results show that the Bi-TNM photocatalyst not only enhanced the visible light adsorption, but also improved the efficiency of the photoinduced charge transfer with a high efficiency for the degradation of ACT. The photocatalytic activity of the Bi-TNM nanoribbons was significantly improved under visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic activity for the degradation of ACT was in the order of titanate nanoribbons (Bi-TNR) > titanate nano-bulks (Bi-TNB) > titanate nanosheets (Bi-TNS). The morphology of nanoribbon has a good photocatalytic activity for the degradation of ACT. Furthermore, no inactivation occurred during the three catalytic reactions and Bi-TNR exhibited an excellent photocatalytic stability. Kinetic studies on the photocatalytic degradation of ACT under visible light suggest that the degradation followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The mechanism study showed that the hole in Bi-TNR was mainly involved in the photodegradation of ACT. The present study, using Bi-TNM, provides a better photocatalytic degradation route in comparison with pristine titanate for wastewater treatment contaminated with ACT and other persistent organic pollutants.

The speciation of selenium (Se) controls its fate and behavior, determining both its biological and environmental activities. However, in situ monitoring of SeIV presents a significant challenge due to its sensitivity to redox change. A novel diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) technique containing mercapto-, amino-bifunctionalized SBA15 mesoporous silica nanoparticles was developed and evaluated in a series of laboratory and field deployment tests. The SBA-DGT exhibited a linear accumulation of SeIV (r2 > 0.997) over a 72 h deployment, with negligible accumulation of SeVI(<5%). Consistent prediction of SeIV occurred within ionic strength and pH ranges of 0.1–200 mmol L–1 and 3.6–8, respectively. Limits of detection of the SBA-DGT were 0.03 μg SeIV L–1, which is suitable for natural waters. Moreover, the properties of the bifunctionalized SBA15 enable it to be fabricated within ultrathin (0.05 mm) gel layers for use in conjunction with O2 planar optode imaging. This new sandwich sensor technology with SBA-DGT was validated by mapping the two-dimensional distribution of SeIV and oxygen simultaneously in rice rhizospheres. This study shows that SBA-DGT provides a selective measurement of SeIV in situ, demonstrating its potential for both environmental monitoring and as a research tool for improving our understanding of Se biogeochemical processes.

In this study, hollow-structured Bi decorated g-C 3 N 4 hybrids were successfully fabricated by a simple solvothermal method and applied for the first time to the photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 . Remarkably, the composites exhibited excellent CO 2 conversion efficiencies in the presence of H 2 O under visible light irradiation compared to unmodified g-C 3 N 4 , especially for the production of CH 4 . The optimum photocatalyst 30-Bi/g-C 3 N 4 presented the best production of CO and CH 4 , approximately 3 times and 9 times as high as those of unmodified g-C 3 N 4 , respectively. A series of characterizations were conducted to explore the essence behind such an enhancement; we found that enhanced light harvesting, quick separation of photoinduced carriers and more negative conduction band, due to the formation of a Schottky junction between g-C 3 N 4 and Bi metal and the solvothermal process, co-contributed for the enhanced CO 2 conversion; A more important finding was that the surprising improvement of CH 4 yield stem primarily from the introduction of the hollow-structured Bi, which enabled the accumulation of electrons on its surface exhibiting the metal-like property. The CO 2 photocatalytic conversion process was also investigated by in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFT) spectroscopy and we found that HCO 3 − and CO 2 − were active intermediates over 30-Bi/g-C 3 N 4 and Bi doping could promote the activation of CO 2 . In summary, this work presented hollow-structured Bi decorated g-C 3 N 4 composites as new materials for energy applications, proving once more the meta-like nature of bismuth, and laying the groundwork for the utilization of Bi in CO 2 photocatalytic reduction processes.
