Fullerene (C60) L -phenylalanine derivative attached with poly (lactic acid) (C60-phe-PLA) was developed to prepare injectable Mitoxantrone (MTX) multifunctional implants. C60-phe-PLA was self-assembled to form microspheres consisting of a hydrophilic antitumor drug (MTX) and a hydrophobic block (C60) by dispersion–solvent diffusion method. The self-assembled microspheres showed sustained release pattern almost 15 days in vitro release experiments. According to the tissue distribution of C57BL mice after intratumoral administration of the microspheres, the MTX mainly distributed in tumors, and rarely in heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney. Photodynamic antitumor efficacy of blank microsphere was realized. Microspheres afforded high antitumor efficacy without obvious toxic effects to normal organs, owing to its significantly increased MTX tumor retention time, low MTX levels in normal organs and strong photodynamic activity of PLA-phe-C60. These C60-phe-PLA microspheres may be promising for the efficacy with minimal side effects in future treatment of solid tumors.

A facile electrochemical sensor for hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CC) determination was successfully fabricated by the modification of poly(3-aminophenylboronic acid) (pAPBA) film and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on a glassy carbon electrode (pAPBA/MWCNTs/GCE). The prepared sensor was characterized by scanning electron microscope and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Under optimal conditions, differential pulse voltammetry was employed to quantify individual HQ and CC within the concentration range of 5.0 × 10−7–4.0 × 10−5 mol L−1 and 7.0 × 10−6–1.0 × 10−4 mol L−1, respectively. Based on the covalent binding between the boronic acid groups of pAPBA film and the cis-diol-containing molecule, a novel substitution-sensing strategy was proposed for the highly sensitive determination of CC. With the addition of CC into HQ solution, covalent interaction between CC and APBA occurred and the HQ was displaced by CC, resulting in a decrease of HQ oxidation peak current and the increase of the CC oxidation peak current. The summation of both current changes (Δ|IHQ| + Δ|ICC|) were combined for CC sensitive detection in a concentration range of 4.0 × 10−8–1.7 × 10−5 mol L−1 with a limit of detection of 4.3 × 10−9 mol L−1. The sensor was successfully applied to the determination of CC in spiked water samples.

The design of composited porous carbon-based electrode materials is keyed to improve the electrochemical performance for supercapacitors. Here, the natural carrot is used as a precursor to prepare porous carbon skeletons (CCs). Three different anthraquinones: anthraquinone (AQ), amino-anthraquinone (1-AAQ), and 2-aminoanthraquinone (2-AAQ) are used to modify the carbon skeletons with absorption. The maximum capacitance is obtained from material modified with 1-AAQ; it (1-AAQ-CC2) exhibits a noticeable pseudocapacitive performance with a brilliant capacitance of 328 F g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 and excellent cyclic stability (95% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles at 3 A g −1 ) in 2 mol L −1 KOH aqueous electrolyte. Moreover, the assembled 1-AAQ-CC2/1-AAQ-CC2 symmetric supercapacitor exhibits a high energy density of 14.8 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 240 W kg −1 operated at the voltage range of 0 to 1.8 V in 0.5 mol L −1 Na 2 SO 4 aqueous electrolyte. These results exhibit eco-friendly and low-cost design of organic and inorganic composite electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitors.

A self-assembly composite of graphene-pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) was fabricated and modified on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for sensitive detection of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). Chitosan (CTS) was applied to disperse graphene to form a stable robust film on GCE. A synergistic effect between PQQ and graphene was observed during the electrocatalytic oxidation of NADH, with about 260 mV reduction in the oxidation potential and 2.5-fold increase in the oxidation current compared with those on the bare GCE. The electrochemical sensors based on the modified electrodes allowed the detection of NADH with a good linear dependence from 0.32 to 220 µM with a high sensitivity of 0.421 µA µM −1 cm −2 and a low detection limit of 0.16 µM (S/N=3). It could also eliminate the interference of electroactive substances like ascorbic acid (AA), uric acid , and dopamine and its derivatives. The outstanding performances of graphene-PQQ/CTS composite capable of improving the electrical conductivity and accelerating the electron transport suggested its promising applications for design of different graphene based composites used in electrochemical sensing and energy fields.

Anthraquinone and its derivatives show compelling electrochemical activities in lithium-ion batteries due to their abundant redox-active carbonyl groups and desirable π -conjugated structures. However, anthraquinone-based compounds often suffer from inferior material utilization, a low-capacity retention rate, and short cycle life due to poor conductivities and unexpected dissolution properties in supporting electrolytes during the charge/discharge cycles. To solve these problems, a novel grafted polymer, poly(N-anthraquinoyl pyrrole) (e-PAQPy), containing redox-active anthraquinone subunits and conductive polypyrrole groups, is prepared by an electrochemical polymerization method and employed as the cathode material for organic lithium-ion batteries. Polypyrrole backbone chain in e-PAQPy is utilized both to bring into high electronic conductivity and to decrease the solubility of the anthraquinone subunits. As expected, the e-PAQPy exhibits a high specific capacity (196.2 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C), good rate performance (70.8 mAh g −1 at 3 C), and long cycle stability (79% of the initial capacity after 500 cycles).

Natural graphite has a large electrical conductivity in plane direction, hundreds times of that in vertical direction. Regulating graphite flakes perpendicular to the plane will improve the performance of the sensor. As a non-connected method, magnetic field-assisted orientation can be no-additives. However, some studies believe that diamagnetic materials are non-magnetic, and must be doped by ferromagnetic materials before oriented by a magnetic field. Here, original graphite flakes were vertically oriented by a low magnetic field during the electrode preparation to increase effective surface area. The performance of electrode was enhanced in both potassium ferricyanide/potassium ferrocyanide probe system and detection of hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CC). For HQ and CC detection, the sensitivities of vertically oriented graphite flakes electrode are 5.05 times and 6.35 times higher than that of graphite flakes without magnetic field, respectively. This magnetic alignment technology could construct other electrode materials for electrochemical sensors.

Selective oxidation of cyclohexylbenzene is a potentially promising process in industrial application. Herein, we reported an organocatalytic system to achieve the selective oxidation of C α –H bonds in cyclohexylbenzene and transformation of active intermediate C α peroxide by an oxidation then decomposition method. The pair of N -hydroxyphthalimide and 2-Chlorothraquinone (NHPI/AQ-Cl) as metal-free organic catalysts showed the highest efficient in selective oxidation of cyclohexylbenzene to C α peroxide and C α alcohol. And the base modified covalent triazine frameworks could facilitate the C α peroxide decomposition to the C α alcohol. Up to 8.8% conversion of substrate and 80% selectivity of 1-phenylcyoclohexanol were achieved under the optimized conditions. This work provided a new organocatalytic strategy to achieve the aerobic selective oxidation of C α –H bonds in cyclohexylbenzene. Graphical Abstract

Halobenzoquinones (HBQs) as disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water is prioritized for research due to their prevalent occurrence and high toxicity. However, only fifteen HBQs can be identified among a high diversity using targeted LC-MS/MS analysis in previous studies due to the lack of chemical standards. In this study, we developed a pseudo-targeted LC-MS/MS method for detecting and quantifying diverse HBQs. Distinct fragment characteristics of HBQs was observed according to the halogen substituent effects, and extended to the development of a multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) method for the quantification of the 46 HBQs that were observed in simulated drinking water using non-targeted analysis. The fragmentation mechanism was supported by the changes of Gibbs free energy (ΔG), and a linear relationship between the ΔG and the ionization efficiency of analytes was developed accordingly for quantification of these 46 HBQs, 30 of which were lack of chemical standards. It is noted that 29 of the 30 newly-identified HBQs were halo-methyl-benzoquinones (HMBQs), which were predicted to be carcinogens related with drinking-water bladder cancer risk and be more toxic than non-methyl HBQs. Using the new method, twelve HMBQs were detected in actual drinking water samples with concentrations up to 100.4 ng/L, 3 times higher than that reported previously. The cytotoxicity in CHO cells of HMBQs was over 1-fold higher than that of non-methyl-HBQs. Therefore, HMBQs are an essential, highly toxic group of HBQs in drinking water, which deserve particular monitoring and control.

Xenobiotics were generally detoxified in organisms through interaction with endogenous molecules, which may also generate metabolites of increased toxicity. Halobenzoquinones (HBQs), a group of highly toxic emerging disinfection byproducts (DBPs), can be metabolized by reacting with glutathione (GSH) to form various glutathionylated conjugates (SG-HBQs). In this study, the cytotoxicity of HBQs in CHO-K1 cells showed a wavy curve as a function of increased GSH dosage, which was inconsistent with the commonly recognized progressive detoxification curve. We hypothesized that the formation and cytotoxicity of GSH-mediated HBQ metabolites contribute to the unusual wave-shaped cytotoxicity curve. Results showed that glutathionyl-methoxyl HBQs (SG-MeO-HBQs) were identified to be the primary metabolites significantly correlated with the unusual cytotoxicity variation of HBQs. The formation pathway was initiated by stepwise metabolism via hydroxylation and glutathionylation to produce detoxified hydroxyl HBQs (OH-HBQs) and SG-HBQs, followed by methylation to generate SG-MeO-HBQs of potentiated toxicity. To further verify the occurrence of the aforementioned metabolism in vivo, SG-HBQs and SG-MeO-HBQs were detected in the liver, kidney, spleen, testis, bladder, and feces of HBQ-exposed mice, with the highest concentration quantified in the liver. The present study supported that the co-occurrence of metabolism can be antagonistic, which enhanced our understanding of the toxicity and metabolic mechanism of HBQs.

The ecological environment and public safety are seriously threatened by the typical phenolic contaminant hydroquinone (HQ). Here, using a straightforward physical mixing technique, we created an n - n heterojunction by uniformly immobilizing cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles on the surface of a three-dimensionally layered, flower-like structure made of tin sulfide (SnS 2 ). Then, as photosensitizers , carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were added to the CdS/SnS 2 complex to create a type-II heterostructure of CdS/SnS 2 /CNTs with synergistic effects. Subsequently, the detector HQ was bound to the modified photoelectrodes , which was accompanied by the hole oxidation of the bound HQ, leading to a significant increase in the photocurrent signal, thus allowing specific and sensitive detection of HQ. Under optimized detection conditions, the proposed photoelectrochemical sensor shows a wide detection range of 0.2 to 100 μM for HQ with a detection limit as low as 0.1 μM. The high accuracy of the sensor was demonstrated by comparison with the detection results of UV–vis spectrophotometry . In addition, the photoelectrochemical sensor exhibits good reproducibility, stability, selectivity , and specificity, providing a light-driven method to detect HQ.

Single-atom nanozymes (SANs) can significantly enhance the sensitivity and selectivity of electrochemical sensing platforms due to the homogeneity of their active sites, full atom utilization, and high catalytic activity. In this study, we demonstrate the synthesis and characterization of a high-density Co-based single-atom nanozyme anchored on activated MOF-derived porous carbon (Co-AcNC-3) via a cascade anchoring strategy for ultrasensitive, simultaneous electrochemical detection of catechol (CC) and hydroquinone (HQ). The Co-AcNC-3 displays a large specific surface area , high defectivity, and abundant oxygen-containing groups, with Co atoms being atomically dispersed throughout the carbon support via Co–N bonds. The Co-AcNC-3 biosensor exhibits superior electrochemical signals for CC and HQ, with linear ranges of 4.0 μM–300.0 μM. and detection limits of 0.072 μM and 0.034 μM, respectively. Moreover, the Co-AcNC-3 biosensor has shown excellent performance in accurately detecting CC and HQ in actual samples. Our findings highlight the potential of the proposed Co-AcNC-3 biosensor as a reliable and promising sensing platform for determining CC and HQ.
