In this work, Gd 2+x Zr 2 O 7+3x/2 (x = 0.1–0.6) transparent ceramics with high transmittance were prepared via vacuum sintering of nano powders (about 40 nm) synthesized by combustion method. The characterization results show that all powders are in defective fluorite structure, while the phase of ceramics change from ordered pyrochlore to disordered defective fluorite with the increase of Gd content. Excess Gd leads to lattice expansion, which makes the X-ray diffraction peaks of powders and ceramics shift to lower angle. Besides, there are pores in grain boundary and grain interior, and the main fracture mode exhibits typical transgranular fracture . The transmittance firstly increases and then decreases with the promotion of Gd content, and the Gd 2.4 Zr 2 O 7.6 ceramic reach a highest in-line transmittance of 80% in the near-infrared range.

Background ALI/ARDS is characterized by severe hypoxemic respiratory failure attributed to inflammatory tissue injury. There are no treatment modalities able to prevent/reverse the dire pathological sequelae in these patients . Evidence links the inflammatory lung injury to uncontrolled activation of the immune signaling complex, TLR4-MD2 (Toll-like receptor-myeloid differentiation factor 2). Baicalein , a natural flavonoid , is reported to have robust anti-inflammatory properties, but its inhibition mechanism remains unclear. Hypothesis/Purpose This study investigated the protective mechanisms of baicalein on ALI/ARDS. Methods We used two experimental mouse models of LPS-induced ALI , pulmonary infection model (intratracheal LPS), and systemic infection model (intravenous LPS). Blood, BALF , lung and liver tissues were analyzed using routine methods. In vitro studies using peritoneal mouse macrophages or recombinant proteins were designed to elucidate inhibition mechanisms of baicalein. Results Our critical new findings revealed that Baicalein was an MD2 inhibitor, directly bound to MD2, effectively suppressing TLR4-MD2 activation and the subsequent MAPK and NF-κB signaling. The inhibited MD2 prevented development of inflammatory tissue injury and improved survival. The importance of MD2 in the inflammatory injury in ALI was corroborated by data obtained from MD2 −/− mice, which did not develop the characteristic LPS-induced lung tissue damage. Thus, the findings indicated that MD2 was critical for development of ALI, functioning as an early upstream signal driving the progression of inflammatory injury. Conclusion Baicalein, as a direct and selective MD2 inhibitor, inhibited the early upstream TLR4-MD2 signaling and is a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of ALI/ARDS.

A novel collector, 2-carboxyethylphenylphosphinic acid (CEPPA), was first used in the flotation of cassiterite. The flotation performances and the adsorption mechanism of CEPPA on cassiterite were investigated by flotation tests, adsorption experiments, zeta potential measurements, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses. The results indicated that CEPPA had strong collecting power for cassiterite and fluorite over a wide pH range but little on quartz. In the separation of the cassiterite–quartz mixture, a concentrate containing 90.9% SnO2 was obtained with a recovery of 95.7% at pH 7.0. The cassiterite in the cassiterite–fluorite mixture could be effectively separated using 300 mg/L sodium silicate in conjunction with 60 mg/L CEPPA, and a concentrate with a grade of 90.3% SnO2 and a recovery of 92.6% was achieved at neutral pH. Zeta potential analysis demonstrated that the adsorption process involved both physical and specific forces. The results of FTIR and XPS further suggested that the four O atoms of CEPPA reacted with the Sn atoms on cassiterite surface, forming a complex which was similar to the Sn–CEPPA precipitate, and hydrogen bonding adsorption could have taken place between the terminal hydroxyl groups and CEPPA anions.

Gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) are widely used in various types of detections due to their unique fluorescence properties. However, there are rare reports on enhanced fluorescence sensors for drug molecules. Here, we report a novel strategy for detection of sodium 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate (MES) by using a fluorescence-enhanced histidine stabilized Au NCs (His-Au NCs) probe. This fluorescence probe showed excellent selectivity and sensitivity towards MES. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that the fluorescence enhancement of His-Au NCs was attributed to ligand exchange with MES by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The feasibility of practical applications of this probe was further investigated by sensing the MES content in Mesna injection (Uromitexan).

The solubility of 2-aminobenzamide in 15 pure organic solvents, including methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, n-pentanol, isopentanol, n-hexanol, n-octanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, and methyl acetate, was measured using a gravimetric method over the temperature range from 273.15 to 324.15 K under atmosphere pressure. Four thermodynamic models, that is, Apelblat equation, λh equation, nonrandom two-liquid equation, and Wilson equation, were applied to correlate the measured solubility data. The correlation results were evaluated by the relative average deviation. The results indicated that the mole fraction solubility increased with the rising of temperature in all 15 solvents, and the Wilson model gave the best fitting results. The experimental data and correlation models would be useful in the purification and synthesis process of 2-aminobenzamide.

We studied the hydrogenation of 2-ethylanthraquinone (eAQ) over Pd/SiO 2 /COR (COR = cordierite) monometallic and Pd-M/SiO 2 /COR (M = Ni, Fe, Mn, and Cu) bimetallic monolithic catalysts, which were prepared by the co-impregnation method. Detailed investigations showed that the particle sizes and structures of the Pd-M (M = Ni, Fe, Mn, and Cu) bimetallic monolithic catalysts were greatly affected by the second metal M and the mass ratio of Pd to the second metal M. By virtue of the small particle size and the strong interaction between Pd and Ni of Pd-Ni alloy, Pd-Ni bimetallic monolithic catalysts with the mass ratio of Pd/Ni = 2 achieved the highest H 2 O 2 yield (7.5 g/L) and selectivity (95.3%). Moreover, density functional theory calculations were performed for eAQ adsorption to gain a better mechanistic understanding of the molecule-surface interactions between eAQ and the Pd(1 1 1) or PdM(1 1 1) (M = Ni, Fe, Mn, and Cu) surfaces. It was found that the high activity of the bimetallic Pd-Ni catalyst was a result of strong chemisorption between Pd 3 Ni 1 (1 1 1) and the carbonyl group of eAQ.

Graphene nanosheets (GS) with approximately 10–15 layers was prepared via ultrasonic exfoliation of graphite powder in N -methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), and confirmed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). X–ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) and Raman spectra were employed to get further insights into the structural characteristics of exfoliated GS. On the surface of the GS modified glassy carbon electrode (GS/GCE), oxidation signals corresponding to carbendazim, a widely used pesticide, were greatly improved due to the higher accumulation ability, as determined by chronocoulometry. The oxidation mechanism of carbendazim was studied using a rotating disk electrode, and two electrons were transferred. Depending on the signal amplification of GS, a highly sensitive analytical platform for carbendazim was constructed. The linear range was from 1.0 to 300.0 μg L −1 (0.005–1.57 μM), and the detection limit was 0.15 μg L −1 (0.78 nM). Finally, this newly developed sensor was used to detect carbendazim in ground water, soil, and cucumber samples with satisfactory accuracy.

Graphical A unique amphiphile was prepared whereby two Dawson polyoxometalates were covalently connected to one fullerene C 60 sphere. The amphiphile shows tunable aggregation behaviour in single and binary solvent mixtures controlled by collective effects of π–π interaction, electrostatic interaction and solvophobic effect. Two-dimensional plates, solid spheres and vesicles have been observed, which represent a new class of multifunctional materials. An organic-inorganic hybrid ( 5 ) is synthesized where two Dawson polyoxometalate (POM) moieties are linked to one fullerene C 60 unit. In a POM-friendly solvent such as DMSO, DMF and CH 3 CN, 5 forms small vesicles below 100 nm at a concentration of 37.3 mg mL –1 . When the concentration decreases to 9.0 mg mL –1 , detection of aggregates becomes difficult. However, supramolecular structures with diverse morphologies can be induced upon the addition of H 2 O or toluene. In DMSO/H 2 O and DMF/H 2 O systems, plates form, which break to debris and small vesicles at high volume percentage of H 2 O. In CH 3 CN/H 2 O mixtures, solid spheres form, which fail to further evolve into other self-assembled structures. In DMSO-based binary mixtures, the type of poor solvent has a big influence on the aggregation behavior of 5 , and replacing H 2 O with toluene transfers the aggregates from plates to multilamellar and multicellular vesicles. In contrast, in CH 3 CN-based systems, the influence of the type of poor solvent is quite limited. Although the morphologies of the aggregates change a lot, their magnetic properties remain unchanged as confirmed by electron spin-resonance measurements.

Integrating heterogeneous hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts into compatible composite catalysts with specific interfaces and structures holds great promise for the development of efficient bifunctional catalysts for overall water splitting. Herein, heterogeneous MoS 2 -Ni(OH) 2 catalyst supported by Ni foam (MoS 2 @Ni(OH) 2 /NF) is developed, in which the Ni(OH) 2 nanorod array is grafted with MoS 2 nanosheets . The hierarchical 1D/2D structures benefit not only the exposure of catalytic site but also the facilitated charge transfer. The heterointerfaces allow the synergism of electric structure modulation for improved catalytic activity and kinetics towards HER, OER, and overall water splitting. MoS 2 @Ni(OH) 2 /NF achieves a current density of 10 mA cm −2 at low overpotentials of 134 and 233 mV for HER and OER in 1 M KOH, respectively. Moreover, a cell voltage as low as 1.46 V is obtained to afford 10 mA cm −2 in a tow-electrode electrolyzer using MoS 2 @Ni(OH) 2 /NF as bifunctional catalysts, assuring it superior to most of the reported noble-metal-free bifunctional electrocatalysts. Such heterogeneous design of composite catalyst should shed light on the exploration of functional materials for energy applications.

A facile strategy to fabricate crown ether (2-methylol-12-crown-4, 2M12C4) immobilized porous polymers (PGMA-CE) was reported toward lithium(I) (Li+) recovery. Macroporous polymer foam (polymeric glycidyl methacrylate, PGMA) with abundant epoxy groups was firstly prepared as a support using a high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) template. And then 2M12C4 was covalently attached onto the surface of PGMA to endow the PGMA-CE with good stability and high selectivity. PGMA-CE was characterized by SEM, FT-IR, XPS, and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and its porous structure and the successful introduction of 2M12C4 were confirmed. In batch mode experiments under optimum conditions, PGMA-CE exhibited fast adsorption kinetics (the equilibrium time was 3.0 h), and the kinetics data were well described using a pseudo-second-order model. A Langmuir-type monolayer adsorption was investigated, and the calculated maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity was 3.15 mg g−1. In addition, PGMA-CE displayed excellent selectivity for Li+ in the presence of multiple interfering ions (Na+, K+, Mg+, and Ca2+), and the selective separation factors (α) were above 4.75. Regeneration analysis showed that the adsorption capacity of PGMA-CE toward Li+ after five cycles was 91.8% of the first cycle.

A mechano-chemical modification process for waste rubber powder (WRP) was investigated in this paper. 2-Mercatobenzothiozole (accelerator M) was introduced as a peptizer to improve plasticity of WRP, and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (silane coupling agent KH550) was used as a surfactant to further modify the surface of plasticized rubber powder (PRP) to improve interfacial bonding with epoxidized natural rubber (ENR). Infrared spectrums showed that the WRP generated more oxygen-containing groups by mechanical forces in the presence of accelerator M and then grafted amino groups with KH550. The mechano-chemical process with accelerator M changed the structure of WRP obviously shown by sol fraction and microstructure of PRP, which increased the mechanical properties and crosslink density of full rubber powder vulcanizates. After further modified by KH550, the modified rubber powder (MRP) had a positive chemical interfacial bonding with ENR, changing the fracture surface and improving the mechanical properties of vulcanizates. The cure characteristics of the vulcanizates also illustrated that accelerator M and KH550 participated in the vulcanization process increasing the curing efficiency. The best mechanical properties of ENR/MRP vulcanizates were better than the neat ENR vulcanizates. It indicated that the mechano-chemical process with accelerator M and KH550 will be a potential method to reclaim WRP.

Two new iridium(III) complexes containing benzothiazol-2-yl carbazole derivative as a cyclometalated ligand (L) and picolinate (pic) or acetylacetonate (acac) as the ancillary ligand, Ir(III) bis(3-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-9-butyl-carbazole)(picolinate) [Ir(L) 2 (pic)] and Ir(III) bis(3-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-9-butyl-carbazole)(acetylacetonate) [Ir(L) 2 (acac)], were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, 1 H NMR, FT-IR, and UV–Vis absorption spectra. Both the iridium(III) complexes emit intense green–yellow emissions, indicating that they are useful for the fabrication of organic light-emitting diodes.
