Preparation of PdO/SiO 2 @graphene oxide (GO) hybrid aerogels were carried out sol-gel method combined with atmospheric drying technology to study their adsorption performance for thiophenics and compared with PdO/SiO 2 . Scanning electron microscope (SEM), N 2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) for samples were performed. The adsorption performance of PdO/SiO 2 @GO for thiophene were better than that of PdO/SiO 2 , attributed to that incorporation of GO increased the specific surface area and the Pd incorporation rate, where Pd 2+ ions acted as the π-complexation and sulfur-metal (S M) bond adsorption active centers, as well as GO adsorbed thiophene by the π-π stacking effect. The adsorption capacities of PdO/SiO 2 @GO-1.0 for thiophene (TH), benzothiophene (BT) and dibenzothiophene (DBT) were 8.89, 9.3 and 12.6 mg-S/g ads , respectively. The addition of GO in aerogels could improve the inhibition effect of toluene, cyclohexene and pyridine while decreased the inhibition effect of MTBE and H 2 O for the adsorption of thiophene, due to the π-π stacking effect and the hydrophobicity of GO, respectively. The adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic, be well fitted by the apparent second-order kinetic model and dominated by chemical interaction. Pd/SiO 2 @GO-1.0 had a good solvent elution regeneration performance.

A novel impedance biosensor was developed based on the interdigitated microelectrodes using H 2 O 2 to reduce SiO 2 @MnO 2 nanocomposites into Mn 2+ , resulting in significant impedance changes in the rapid and ultrasensitive detection of Salmonella typhimurium ( S . typhimurium ). The captured S . typhimurium monoclonal antibodies (MAb 1 ) were assembled on the outer layer of the magnetic beads (MBs) for specific enrichment and isolation of S . typhimurium cells in complex samples. The recognized S . typhimurium monoclonal antibodies (MAb 2 ) were immobilized on the surface of the SiO 2 @MnO 2 nanocomposites, which could react with the MBs- S . typhimurium conjugates to form the MBs- S . typhimurium -SiO 2 @MnO 2 sandwich complexes. The MnO 2 on the surface of the sandwich complexes was reduced into Mn 2+ by using H 2 O 2 achieving obvious impedance change that could be detected by the interdigitated microelectrodes. The recoveries for S . typhimurium cells at the concentrations between 2.0 × 10 1 and 2.0 × 10 5 CFU/mL were 83.1 %–97.0 % in the spiked milk samples. The limit of detection of this biosensor for S . typhimurium cells in the spiked milk samples was 21 CFU/mL. This approach possesses the merits of simple operation, high sensitivity, and low cost, potentially enabling this device to be a lab-on-a-chip for rapid screening of foodborne pathogens.

The identification and detection of cancer biomarkers in early stages is an important issue for the therapy of cancer. However, most methods are time-consuming and have limited sensing sensitivity and specificity. In this work, we prepared a novel plasmonic multilayered core–shell–satellite nanostructure (Au@Ag@SiO2–AuNP) consisting of a gold nanosphere with a silver coating core (Au@Ag), an ultrathin continuous silica (SiO2) shell, and a high coverage of gold nanosphere (AuNP) satellites. The Au@Ag core is a prominent surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform, and the thin SiO2 layer exhibits a long-range plasmon coupling between the Au@Ag core to the AuNP satellites, further leading to enhanced Raman scattering. Meanwhile, the outer AuNP satellites have a high biocompatibility and long-term stability. Combining the above advantages, the well-designed metallic nanoassemblies would be a promising candidate for SERS-based applications in biochemistry. For specific detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), we utilized the SERS-active core–shell–satellite nanostructures modified with AFP antibody as immune probes and nitrocellulose membrane (NC) stabilized captured anti-AFP antibodies as solid substrate. To improve the detection performance, we further systematically optimized the parameters, including the silver coating thickness of the Au@Ag core and the density and size of the satellite AuNPs. Under the optimized conditions, AFP could be detected by the SERS-based sandwich immunoassay with an ultralow detection limit of 0.3 fg/mL, and the method exhibited a wide linear response from 1 fg/mL to 1 ng/mL. The limit of detection (LOD) was considerably lower than conventional methods in the literature. This work relies on the unique Au@Ag@SiO2–AuNP nanostructures as the immune probe develops a new outlook for the application of multilayered nanoassemblies and demonstrates the great potential in early tumor marker detection.

Fluorescent nanobeads are widely used due to their advantages of visualization, sensitivity and the quantitative measurement of target analytes. In terms of their applications, the stability and biocompatibility of fluorescent nanobeads are very important. In this work, “pomegranate”-like QD/SiO2/poly(St-co-MAA) (QSIP-COOH) nanobeads were synthesized by two-step strategies. First, quantum dots (QDs) were covered by a silica layer using the reverse hydrolysis method to form a core–shell structure like the seed and flesh of a pomegranate, and then a poly(St-co-MAA) layer was formed as the skin of the pomegranate. The structure and morphology of nanobeads were investigated by FTIR, TG, TEM and HRTEM. The results confirmed that QSIP-COOH nanobeads had a pomegranate structure with a QD core, an intermediate silica shell, and a carboxylated polystyrene outermost shell. TEM and HRTEM results showed that the size of the typical product was about 170 nm with the QDs of about 8 nm and the MPS-modified QD/SiO2 (QSI-CC) of about 27 nm, respectively. The in vitro cytotoxicity test showed that nanobeads had desirable stability and good biocompatibility, which made them applicable for various bioassays and diagnostics. Here, QSIP-COOH fluorescent nanobeads were applied to immunochromatography test strip (ICTS) and the result proved that QSIP-COOH fluorescent nanobeads could be used for the sensitive detection of immune human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG).

A rapid and highly sensitive time-resolved fluorescence (TRF)-based aptasensor for simultaneous recognition of mycotoxins ochratoxin A (OTA) and fumonisin B 1 (FB 1 ) was developed using multi-color, Ln 3+ -doped time-resolved fluorescence nanoparticles (TRF-NPs) (NaYF 4 : Ce, Tb and NH 2 -Eu/DPA@SiO 2 NPs) coupled with complementary strand DNA (cDNA) as luminescence probe and aptamers-conjugated amine-functionalized Fe 3 O 4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) act as a capture probe. Under the optimized conditions, the time-resolved fluorescence intensities at 544 and 618 nm corresponded with Tb 3+ and Eu 3+ , respectively, were used to measure FB 1 ( Y = 19,177.1 + (− 12,054.4) x , R 2 = 0.9917) and OTA ( Y = 4138.8 + (− 11,182.6) x , R 2 = 0.9924), respectively. The limits of detection (LODs) for FB 1 and OTA were 0.019 pg mL −1 and 0.015 pg mL −1 , respectively, which were much lower than previously described methods for simultaneous recognition of mycotoxins OTA and FB 1 while detection range varied from 0.0001–0.5 ng mL −1 . This aptasensor was effectively applied to quantity FB 1 and OTA in maize samples and results were compared with ELISA method. This is the first reported time-resolved fluorescence (TRF)-based aptasensor to detect two agriculturally important toxins in the maize. The developed aptasensor has potential to be used for detection of toxins in food safety fields.

Superwetting interfacial porous membranes with different wettabilities have enormous potential for wastewater treatment. The wettability of most smart separation membranes is controlled by external environmental factors such as temperature, pH, and pressure. In a constant environment, they have only one kind of wettability and can separate only one type of emulsion, and in multiple extreme environments, they become “unintelligent” and even lose their separation ability. Inspired by China's “Face-Changing in Sichuan Opera,” we have prepared a novel electrospun SiNPs/ZnNPs-SiO 2 /TiO 2 (SZST) nanofiber membrane by a calcining-spraying method. The obtained membrane can rapidly switch its wettability in various environments for the controllable separation of both oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions. The advanced electrospinning, combined with micro-nano hierarchical structures, greatly improved the wettability and porosity of the membrane, making the separation efficiency more than 99% stable. Additionally, the flux was maintained at about 2000 L/m 2 h. Interestingly, the separation efficiency showed almost no change in various harsh environments (e.g., strongly acidic and alkaline conditions, high or low temperatures, and even salty media), and the developed membrane exhibited excellent recyclability. In addition to good corrosion resistance and chemical stability, the membrane demonstrated excellent fire and frost resistance. Therefore, the SZST nanofiber membrane has great practical value in industrial production.

In the paper, a composite TiO 2 /SiO 2 -NHOC-FA was prepared using the coupling method which is a folic acid-targeted silica-coated titanium dioxide. Their structures were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and zeta potential method. The results showed that the average diameter of the prepared TiO 2 /SiO 2 -NHOC-FA composite is 18 nm, which is spherical. Compared with unmodified TiO 2 , TiO 2 /SiO 2 -NHOC-FA composite had superior water solubility and dispersion, and enhanced its photokilling activity by folic acid-targeted to FR (+) cells. In addition, photocatalytic TiO 2 /SiO 2 -NHOC-FA arrested cell cycle in G2/M phase of MCF-7 cells, resulting in a significant reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and also made the apoptosis rate, ROS components and intracellular calcium concentration increased. It killed the MCF-7 cells through apoptosis pathway. These results for the TiO 2 /SiO 2 -NHOC-FA composite can provide a theoretical basis for the photodynamic development of TiO 2 .

In this paper, novel core–shell (CS) structure composites SiO2@ANA-Si–Eu and SiO2@ANA-Si–Eu–L (L = phen, TTA) were prepared by the condensation of 5-N-bis(amidopropyltriethoxysilyl) nicotinic acid (HOOCC5H4NN(CONH(CH2)3Si(OCH2CH3)3)2, abbreviated as ANA-Si) and a SiO2 microsphere with a diameter of 200 nm in the absence of surfactants. The as-synthesized CS structure composites possess good dispersion, uniform size and excellent luminescence properties. Furthermore, silica modified core–shell–shell (CSS) structure composites SiO2@ANA-Si–Eu@SiO2 and SiO2@ANA-Si–Eu–L@SiO2 were successfully prepared by a sol–gel method using CS structure composites as the core and amorphous silica as the shell. Compared with the CS structure composites, CSS structure composites exhibited a stronger luminescence intensity in the solid state. Furthermore, an improved luminescence stability property of the CSS structure composites was found in aqueous medium. CSS structure composites exhibited improved luminescence, high stability and good solubility, which provided potential for their wide use in advanced phosphors, molecular biomarkers and luminescent tracers.

To satisfy the requirement of simultaneous extraction and characterization of diverse kinds of multitarget analytes, the preparation, characterization, and application of a novel tetraazacalix[2]arene[2]triazine (TCT) coated magnetic nanoparticle (TCT MNP) adsorbent are presented in this paper. TCT assembles two benzene rings and two triazines with nitrogen cross-bridging links, which exhibits a unique structural framework and versatile recognition features based on the multiple recognition sites. These include π electron stacking, charge transfer, hydrogen bonding, and ion-exchange. TCT MNPs acted as a dispersive SPE adsorbent showing strong interaction with and adsorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), nitroaromatics, and heavy metal ions. The dispersive magnetic nanoparticle solid phase extraction (d-MNSPE) strategy with the simultaneous extraction and stepwise elution (SESE) procedure was designed and optimized for the five PAHs (phenanthrene, anthracene, pyrene, chrysene, and benzo(a)pyrene), six nitroaromatics (4-nitrotoluene, 2,4-dinitrotoluene, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, 4-nitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol, and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol), and four metal ions (Cu, Zn, Mn, Cd) in aqueous samples. Due to the high stability, desirable durability, larger saturation magnetization, reuse and distinct enrichment capacity of TCT MNPs, the d-MNSPE method with the SESE strategy provided high recovery (>90%) and good precision (relative standard deviations, RSD < 10%). Coupled with the commonly used HPLC-fluorescence detection, HPLC-UV detection, and atomic absorption spectrometry, these trace probes in tap water, river water, and lake water were determined with very low detection limits, in the range of 0.09–0.15 pg mL–1 for PAHs, 6–11 pg mL–1 for nitroaromatics, and 17–53 pg mL–1 for metal ions after being enriched by the d-MNSPE. The determination of trace PAHs in urine samples from smokers and nonsmokers was successfully carried out with this method, which implied that the versatile TCT MNPs and the robust method together represent a significant potential application in the analysis of body fluids and disease markers. Such methods for accurate quantification of trace components in water are very valuable as they fulfill an unmet need in environmental and medicinal chemistry.

In this paper, using PVP-modified polystyrene microspheres as template, tetrabutyl titanate (TEOT), tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and melamine as precursor, we developed a facile one-pot two-step method to preparing a novel kind of mesoporous hollow SiO 2 @TiO 2 @g-C 3 N 4 ternary composite microspheres with plush surface, in which highly active black titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) was formed by simple calcination without further chemical reduction treatment. The structure and morphology of the composite microspheres were detailed characterized for understanding the formation mechanism. Research results indicated that the hollow SiO 2 microspheres can promote the formation of oxygen vacancies in TiO 2 , and the ternary combination narrowed the bandgap width of the black hollow composite microspheres to 1.43 eV, thus endowing it with excellent broad-spectrum catalytic performance for rapid photo-degradation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as dyes and antibiotics in water under sunlight. The removal rates of dyes reached more than 70 %, as well as that of antibiotics more than 50 % within one hour. Finally, a plausible catalytic degradation mechanism was discussed.

High-efficiency light utilization and prolonged lifetime of photo-induced charge carriers is a key step towards superior photocatalytic H 2 evolution. Herein, the design of a novel spatially separated Ni 2 P co-catalyst decorated SiO 2 /rGO/Cd 0.5 Zn 0.5 S yolk-shell structural photocatalytic nanoreactor is reported. In this system, the advantages of ultrathin mesoporous shell and yolk-shell structure not only facilitate the mass diffusion with short length, but also allow broad-spectrum light absorption and increase the density of catalytic active sites. Importantly, the photo-generated electrons can be directionally injected from the outermost Cd 0.5 Zn 0.5 S shell to the spatially separated Ni 2 P co-catalyst. The dynamic behaviors of photo-induced charge carriers can be rationally regulated by the suitable energy level alignment and the built-in electric fields derived from both sides of embedded rGO interlayer. The synergistic effects of the excellent light-harvesting ability, more exposed active sites and improved charge separation efficiency significantly boosted the photocatalytic performances of hydrogen evolution. As a result, the optimal SiO 2 /Ni 2 P/rGO/Cd 0.5 Zn 0.5 S composite exhibited the highest hydrogen generation of 11.65 mmoL‧g −1 ‧h −1 , even after five cycles. This work proposes new insights into the design of the efficient hollow sphere structural heterojunctions for photocatalytic water splitting applications.

ABSTRCTCore-shell structure particles are attracting considerable attention because of their applications in drug delivery and catalysis carrier. In this study, SiO2@SiO2 core-shell structure with tunable shell thickness was successfully prepared by using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as the silica source. Monodisperse nonporous silica spheres with a diameter of 1.7 μm were synthesized by a modified Stöber method. An template CTAB was first grafted onto the SiO2 microsphere surface. Then TEOS was hydrolyzed with the addition of ammonia. Finally, superficially porous core-shell SiO2@SiO2 microspheres were obtained through calcination to remove the template.
