A novel sulfydryl-functionalized adsorbent PP-g-GMA@MEA for recovery of Ag(I) was synthesized by γ-ray induced simultaneous grafting of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto polypropylene (PP) non-woven fabric, followed by ring-opening processes with mercaptoethylamine (MEA). The obtained adsorbents before and after adsorption of Ag(I) were fully characterized by SEM, EDS, FT-IR spectra, XRD and XPS. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to evaluate adsorption abilities of the adsorbents under high acidity. The adsorption kinetics of Ag(I) were well fitted with pseudo-second-order kinetics model. The maximum adsorption capacity calculated by the Langmuir isotherm model was 262.51 mg/g at 25 °C. EDS, XRD and XPS analyses confirmed the mechanism of adsorption under high acidity was chelating reaction between -SH and Ag(I) and ion exchange adsorption towards [Ag(NO 3 ) 2 ] −1 . Through competitive adsorption tests, the PP-g-GMA@MEA was found remarkably selective towards Ag(I) when it coexisted with Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cr(III) in high acidity medium. Therefore, the developed PP-g-GMA@MEA composite would be a promising adsorbent for Ag(I) recovery from industrial effluents.

The oxidation of thallium [Tl(I)] to Tl(III) by chlorine (HOCl) is an important process changing its removal performance in water treatment. However, the role of bromide (Br–), a common constituent in natural water, in the oxidation behavior of Tl(I) during chlorination remains unknown. Our results demonstrated that Br– was cycled and acted as a catalyst to enhance the kinetics of Tl(I) oxidation by HOCl over the pH range of 5.0–9.5. Different Tl(I) species (i.e., Tl+ and TlOH(aq)) and reactive bromine species (i.e., HOBr/BrO–, BrCl, Br2O, and BrOCl) were kinetically relevant to the enhanced oxidation of Tl(I). The oxidation by free bromine species became the dominant pathway even at a low Br– level of 50 μg/L for a chlorine dose of 2 mg of Cl2/L. It was found that the reactions of Tl+/BrCl, Tl+/BrOCl, and TlOH(aq)/HOBr dominated the kinetics of Tl(I) oxidation at pH < 6.0, pH 6.0–8.0, and pH > 8.0, respectively. The species-specific rate constants for Tl+ reacting with individual bromine species were determined and decreased in the order: BrCl > Br2 > BrOCl > Br2O > HOBr. Overall, the presented results refine our knowledge regarding the species-specific reactivity of TI(I) with bromine species and will be useful for further prediction of thallium mobility in chlorinated waters containing bromide.

Power conversion efficiency (PCE) and long-term stability are two vital issues for perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, there is still a lack of suitable hole transport layers (HTLs) to endow PSCs with both high efficiency and stability. Here, NiO x nanoparticles are promoted as an efficient and 85 °C/85%-stable inorganic HTL for high-performance n-i-p PSCs, with the introduction of perovskite quantum dots (QDs) between perovskite and NiO x as systematic interfacial engineering. The QD intercalation enhances film morphology and assembly regulation of NiO x HTLs . Due to structure–function correlations, hole mobility within NiO x HTL is improved. And the hole extraction from perovskite to NiO x is also facilitated, resulting from reduced trap states and optimized energy level alignments. Hence, the promoted NiO x -based n-i-p PSCs exhibit high PCE (21.59%) and excellent stability (sustaining 85 °C aging in air without encapsulation). Furthermore, encapsulated solar modules with QDs-promoted NiO x HTLs show impressive stability during 85 °C/85% aging test for 1000 hours. With high transparency, QDs-promoted NiO x is also demonstrated to be an advanced HTL for semitransparent PSCs. This work develops promising NiO x inorganic HTL in n-i-p PSCs for manufacturing next-generation photovoltaic devices.

In the era of global warming, the conversion of carbon dioxide into high-value products has become a widely scrutinized emerging mitigation strategy. Metalation of bpy-containing MOF-253 led to the synthesis of MOF-253–0.5Ag, which acts as an efficient catalyst for the carbonylative cyclization of CO2 with alkyne molecules (such as propynyl alcohols and propynyl amines) at room temperature and ambient CO2 pressure, yielding the corresponding α-alkyl cyclic carbonates and oxazolidinones, thus endowing the catalytic system with bifunctional characteristics. Additionally, the MOF-253–0.5Ag catalyst demonstrated stability, high activity, and recyclability. The mechanisms were further elucidated through experimental results and NMR analysis, demonstrating that Ag(I) can effectively activate the C≡C bonds and hydroxy/amino groups of the substrates.

Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a highly specific biomarker of cardiomyocyte injury, released during cell disintegration and necrosis, and is the gold standard for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction (AMI). At the onset of AMI, cTnI appears in very low concentrations (pg/mL level), necessitating the development of highly sensitive and rapid detection sensors. In this study, an electrochemiluminescence lateral flow immunosensor (ECL-LFI) was designed using luminol-labeled silver nanoparticles (luminol@AgNPs) for the sensitive and quantitative detection of cTnI. A screen-printed electrode (SPE) was integrated beneath the nitrocellulose (NC) membrane with plastic plates of the same thickness applied on both sides of the SPE to ensure a smooth flow surface. Upon addition of cTnI and the luminol-H 2 O 2 system, sandwich immune complexes formed by antibody-functionalized luminol@AgNPs on the strips generated electrochemiluminescent (ECL) signals. The ECL-LFI exhibited a broad linear detection range from 5 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL, with a detection limit as low as 1.6 pg/mL. Additionally, the results show excellent correlation with clinical tests, demonstrating that the ECL-LFI provides a promising point-of-care tool for the early diagnosis of AMI and other diseases.

A flower-like Au/Cu alloy nanocomposite (Au/Cu NFs) was synthesized and used in an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) based method for sensitive determination of the dye Sudan I. The Au-g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets as an ECL emitter were prepared by electrostatic adsorption between gold nanoparticles and g-C 3 N 4 . They form a film on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and then can be connected with Sudan I antigen via gold-nitrogen bond and amidation reactions. The Au/Cu NFs combined with Sudan I antibody also via the Au-N bond and was introduced into the modified GCE by specific recognition between the antibody and the antigen. The overlap between emission spectra of the Au-g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets and absorption spectra of Au/Cu NFs enabled the appearance of ECL resonance energy transfer process. That is, when the Sudan I analyte not present, the ECL was weakened due to absorption by the gray Au/Cu NFs on applying voltages from −1.7 V to 0 V. Conversely, the Au/Cu NFs on the GCE are reduced due to the competition for the antibody between the analyte and the antigen. A strong green ECL emission was obtained. The ECL response is linear in the 0.5 pg mL −1 to 100 ng mL −1 Sudan I concentration range, and the detection limit is 0.17 pg mL −1 .
An Au/Cu alloy flower-like nanocomposite (Au/Cu NFs) is firstly synthesized as an acceptor to constitute an electrochemiluminescence-resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) system for sensitive measurement of Sudan I, while Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) functionalized graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) acted as a donor.

The phosphorylated noncollagenous proteins (NCPs) play a vital role in manipulating biomineralization, while the mechanism of phosphorylation of NCPs in intrafibrillar mineralization of collagen fibril has not been completely deciphered. Poly(vinylphosphonic acid) (PVPA) and sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) as templating analogs of NCPs induce hierarchical mineralization in cooperation with indispensable sequestration analogs such as polyacrylic acid (PAA) via polymer-induced liquid-like precursor (PILP) process. Herein, STMP-Ca and PVPA-Ca complexes are proposed to achieve rapid intrafibrillar mineralization through polyelectrolyte-Ca complexes pre-precursor (PCCP) process. This strategy is further verified effectively for remineralization of demineralized dentin matrix both in vitro and in vivo. Although STMP micromolecule fails to stabilize amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) precursor, STMP-Ca complexes facilely permeate into intrafibrillar interstices and trigger phase transition of ACP to hydroxyapatite within collagen. In contrast, PVPA-stabilized ACP precursors lack liquid-like characteristic and crystallize outside collagen due to rigid conformation of PVPA macromolecule, while PVPA-Ca complexes infiltrate into partial intrafibrillar intervals under electrostatic attraction and osmotic pressure as evidenced by intuitionistic 3D stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (3D-STORM). The study not only extends the variety and size range of polyelectrolyte for PCCP process but also sheds light on the role of phosphorylation for NCPs in biomineralization.

Ruthenium(II) complexes containing phenazine ring have attracted attention to design as ‘molecular light switches’. In this study, we synthesized two ruthenium complexes containing phenazine ring and studied their abilities to function as DNA intercalators, DNA ‘light switches’, DNA topo I inhibitors, DNA photocleavers and potential antitumor reagents. [Ru(bpy)2(mbipz)](PF6)2 (1) (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, mbipz = 2-(4′-methyl-bipyridine-4-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]phenazine) exhibited off–on type DNA ‘light swtich’ behavior. DNA binding modes of the two complexes were determined as intercalation by using UV–vis spectra, emission spectra, viscosity and molecular docking experiments. DNA photocleavage experimental results showed that the two ruthenium complexes effectively cleave plasmid DNA by producing singlet oxygen. Furthermore, they displayed good topo I inhibition activities. We further found that the two complexes displayed good antitumor activities against Eca-109 cells and A549 cells. The results demonstrated that introduction of phenazine ring will be helpful to design DNA ‘light switch’ based on ruthenium complex.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunoassay is a burgeoning and promising bioanalytical method . However, the practical application of PEC still exist some challenges such as the inevitable damage of biomolecules caused by the PEC system and the unsatisfactory sensitivity for biomarkers with low abundance in real sample. To solve the problems, we integrated the cosensitized structure of Ag2S/ZnO nanocomposities as photoelectrode with photogenerated hole-induced chemical redox cycling amplification (CRCA) strategy to develop a split-type PEC immunosensor for cardiac troponin I (cTnI) with high sensitivity. Initially, the immunoreaction was carried out on the 96-well plates in which alkaline phosphatase (ALP) could catalyze ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AAP) to generate the signal-reporting species ascorbic acid (AA). Subsequently, the AA participated and the tris (2-carboxyethyl) phosphine (TCEP) mediated chemical redox cycling reaction took place on the photoelectrode, thus leading to signal amplification. Under the optimized conditions, the immunosensor demonstrated a detection limit (LOD) of 3.0 × 10 −15 g mL −1 with a detection range of 1.0 × 10 −14 g mL −1 to 1.0 × 10 −9 g mL −1 for cTnI. Impressively, the proposed method could determine the cTnI in human serum samples with high sensitivity and satisfactory accuracy. Considering the virtues of the photoelectrode and the chemical redox cycling strategy, the method would hold great potential for highly sensitive biosensing and bioanalysis .

Tin dioxide (SnO2) has emerged as a highly promising candidate for electron transport layers in perovskite solar cells. However, defects in the SnO2 film and at the interface between SnO2 and perovskite often cause serious nonradiative recombination, resulting in the deterioration of the performance of perovskite solar cells. Herein, a synergistic passivation strategy is employed through the introduction of amphiphilic fluorosurfactants (FS-31) into the SnO2 precursor solution, enabling the passivation of defects present both in the SnO2 film and at the interface between SnO2 and perovskite. Moreover, FS-31 is capable of modulating the energy level of the SnO2 film and enhancing the crystalline quality of the wide-band-gap perovskite, thereby minimizing residual lead iodide. Thanks to the positive effects of FS-31, the n–i–p type wide-band-gap perovskite (1.68 eV) solar cells achieve a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 20.92%, an open circuit voltage (VOC) of 1.24 V, and a minimal VOC deficit of 0.44 V. Furthermore, this simple strategy provides strong support for the preparation of high-efficiency n–i–p perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells.

Two different silver(I) complexes with diphenylphosphonic acid as peripheral ligand were designed and synthesized by using different solvents. The complexes were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), infrared spectroscopy (IR), elemental analysis (EA), thermogravimetric analysis (TG). Single crystal X-ray analysis established the final structure of both complexes. The interaction modes of the two clusters with DNA were investigated by fluorescence and electrochemical analysis. The theoretical result was justified with the help of theoretical data. The results established that the cluster with methanol solvent was more stable binding with the DNA and protein than the cluster with DMF molecule.
