A hierarchically photocatalytic microbial fuel cell system (PMFC) coupled with TiO 2 photoanode and bioanode was established to enhance the power generation based on single-chamber MFC. Compared with the conventional anaerobic mode, oxygen in the solution could be utilized by the photoanode of PMFC to improve the removal of o-chlorophenol (2-CP). The maximum power densities were increasing from 261 (MFC) to 301 mW/m 2 (PMFC). The removal efficiency of 2-CP (5 mg/L) in PMFC was 76.20% and higher than that in MFC (19.33%) and by photocatalysis (49.23%). The electron-hole separation efficiencies were decreasing with the increasing of dissolved oxygen, causing a low efficiency of photocatalysis, due to the reduction of the current density of the systems. The abundance of Geobacter sp., PHOS-HE36 fam., and Pseudomonas sp. was increased with illumination, contributing to improve the electricity production and 2-CP degradation. The only detective intermediate of 1,2-dichlorobenzene in PMFC indicated that the microbes could regulate the degradation pathway of 2-CP in the coupling system. These findings provided an feasible method for the effective degradation of refractory organic compounds and simultaneous energy recovery by combining photocatalysis and microbial power generation.

Phenolic acids are important taste components in green tea. The aim of this study was to analyze the taste characteristics of phenolic acids and their influence on the bitterness and astringency of green tea by sensory evaluation and chemical determination. The major tea phenolic acids and quercetin-3- O -rutinoside (Que-rut) were significantly positively correlated with the bitterness ( r = 0.757, p < 0.01; r = 0.605, p < 0.05) and astringency ( r = 0.870, p < 0.01; r = 0.576, p < 0.05) of green tea infusion. The phenolic acids have a sour and astringent taste, whereas Que-rut has a mild astringent taste. Phenolic acids and Que-rut can increase the bitterness of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). However, these components behaved differently for astringency on EGCG. Gallic acid (GA) enhances the astringency throughout all the concentrations in this study. While it seemed to be double effects of caffeic acid (CA), chlorogenic acid (CGA), and Que-rut on that, i.e., the inhibition at lower concentrations (CA: 0–0.2 mM; CGA: 0–0.2 mM; Que-rut: 0–0.05 mM) but enhancement at higher ones. The phenolic acids and Que-rut interacted synergistically with tea infusion and as their concentration increased, the synergistic enhancement of the bitterness and astringency of tea infusion increased. These findings help provide a theoretical basis for improving the taste of middle and green tea.

Electrochemical water splitting, the most direct and clean method used for the production of hydrogen, requires highly efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts that can accelerate hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) and oxygen evolution reactions (OER) by overcoming their kinetics barriers. Herein, self-supported F, N codoping CoP nanosheets (denoted as FN-CoP NS) are prepared as efficient and stable bifunctional electrocatalysts. Codoping of F and N neutralizes the electronegativity of surface P-O by cleaving the Co-P-O of non-metallic P sites on the surface (O derived from the surface oxidation). This contributes to an increased Co 2+ content with considerable adjustable electronegativity and also optimizes HER and OER processes. As a result, FN-CoP NS requires 66 and 241 mV overpotentials to deliver the current density of 10 mA cm −2 during HER and OER, respectively. A full water electrolyzer equipped FN-CoP NS as both cathode and anode only require 1.57 V to drive the current density of 10 mA cm −2 and to sustain 50 mA cm −2 for 48 h. This work adjusts the electronic structure of metal phosphides by a double anion codoping strategy, which provides a reference value for the rational design of efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts.

A new alkaline-earth and rare-earth borate fluoride, Ba10LuB18O32F13, the first example of borate in the Lu–B–O–F system, has been successfully synthesized in a high-temperature vacuum system. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, with the Fmm2 space group and the parameters a = 16.5749(6) Å, b = 16.7644(9) Å, c = 13.6222(6) Å, and Z = 4. It represents a new fundamental building block (FBB), [B9O22], with the notation 9:[2(4:2Δ + 2T) + T], in which two [BO3] triangles and two [BO4] tetrahedra are enclosed into a [B4O10] ring and every two [B4O10] rings are bridged by a [BO4] tetrahedron. The [B9O22] FBBs are further condensed into a 3D network with two types of channels that accommodate Ba2+ and Lu2+ cations. The UV cut-off edge is below 190 nm, indicating the application potential of Ba10LuB18O32F13 in the DUV region. Additionally, to further explore the structural novelty of Ba10LuB18O32F13, a comparison with all anhydrous borates with 18 boron atoms in their chemical formula was carried out. The fascinating results indicate that [B9O22] has been discovered for the first time, enriching borate fluoride structure chemistry.

Abstract The utilization of nanomaterial-based probes in detecting glutathione (GSH) and cell imaging has aroused extensive attention owing to the excellent properties of nanoprobes. Herein, we have synthesized manganese dioxide-S, O co-doped graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots (MnO 2 -S, O-CNQDs) nanocomposite by in situ synthesis of MnO 2 nanosheets in S,O-CNQDs dispersion solution. It was found that GSH could specifically bind to MnO 2 -S, O-CNQDs so that the fluorescence of S, O-CNQDs could be recovered. As such, a “turn-on” MnO 2 -S, O-CNQDs nanoprobe can be fabricated and applied to rapidly determine trace amounts of GSH. Under the optimal conditions, MnO 2 -S, O-CNQDs shows sensitive response to GSH in the range 10–270 μM with a detection limit of 0.307 μM ( S / N = 3). The developed MnO 2 -S, O-CNQDs probe has demonstrated great potential to detection of GSH in biological samples and glutathione injections. What is more, MTT assay indicates that MnO 2 -S, O-CNQDs has low biotoxicity. The non-fluorescence MnO 2 -S, O-CNQDs reacts with GSH to recover the fluorescence of S, O-CNQDs in HepG2 cells. Thus, the “turn-on” fluorescence change of MnO 2 -S, O-CNQDs offers a potentially useful tool to monitor GSH of cancer cells. Graphical Abstract

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) is an attractive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminophore. However, g-CN with wavelength-tunable ECL emission is still limited, which limits its application in multicolor ECL sensing and imaging analysis. In this study, porous g-CN (PCN) with nitrogen defects was synthesized through the condensation of melamine by using o-fluorobenzoic acid (o-FBA) as an effective regulation reagent. A series of PCNs, including PCN-5%, PCN-10%, and PCN-30%, were obtained by changing the mass ratio of o-FBA and melamine. The porous structure and tunable chemical composition change of the PCNs were carefully characterized. The nitrogen defects and porous structure of the synthesized PCNs can enlarge the specific surface area, facilitate electron transfer, and generate various surface states with gradually changed energy bands, leading to wavelength-tunable multicolor ECL emissions. Accordingly, g-CN, PCN-5%, PCN-10%, and PCN-30% can generate navy blue, turquoise blue, turquoise green, and olive green ECL emissions, respectively, with the peak ECL wavelength varied from 465 to 550 nm. Then, a multicolor ECL sensing array was proposed for the discrimination of polyphenols based on the prepared g-CN and PCNs by using a smartphone as a portable detector for the first time. Five polyphenol substances including vitamin P, resveratrol, phloretin, phlorizin, and caffeic acid were discriminated by using principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis. The present work provides a simple strategy to adjust the ECL wavelength of g-CN and presents a simple way to fabricate multicolor ECL sensing array, which has great application potential for multiplexed analysis and multicolor ECL imaging sensing.

Microplastic particles degraded from plastic litters are recognized as a global environmental pollutant, which can be transferred and enriched via the food chain to impact ecosystems and human health. A balanced gut microbiota contributes to human health through host–gut interactions, environmentally-driven factors such as microplastic exposure would disturb the gut bacteria and affect its functionality. Dietary compounds can remodel the compositions of gut microbes, and interact with bacteria exerting profound effects on host physiology. This study explored the effects of bayberry-derived anthocyanin cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) and microplastic polystyrene (PS) on the gut microbiome in C57BL/6 mice, especially the alterations in gut bacteria and its metabolites. Using 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing, variations in gut bacterial composition and enrichment of functional pathways were found upon PS and C3G administration. Meanwhile, the differential metabolites and metabolic pathways were identified by metabolomic analysis. Importantly, colonic and fecal PS levels were found to be strongly correlated with key microbiota-derived metabolites, which are associated with xenobiotic metabolism via regulation of xenobiotics-metabolizing enzymes and transporters. These results may offer new insights regarding the protective effects of C3G against xenobiotic PS exposure and the roles of gut bacterial metabolites.

The conversion of lignin into value-added chemicals is one of the important ways for sustainable development. Herein, phytic acid, a biomass-derived chemical, was used as the phosphorus source and pore former to synthesize the AlPyOx support. After loading Ni, the Ni/AlPyOx catalysts were found to be highly active in the catalytic conversion of lignin model compounds to high-value-added chemicals under mild conditions. The benzyl phenyl ether (α-O-4 lignin model compound) could be completely converted into toluene and phenol with near-equivalent selectivity at 30 °C and 3 MPa H2. Diphenyl ether and 2-phenoxy-1-phenylethanol were also used as 4-O-5 and β-O-4 model compounds of lignin, respectively. The unique activity of Ni/AlP0.5Ox could be attributed to metallic Ni that interacts with AlP0.5Ox and the unique adsorption of substrates on the carrier. Lignin can also be degraded over Ni/AlP0.5Ox via selective cleavage of the C–O bond, and 26.60 wt % yield of identified monomers was obtained.

Casein glycomacropeptide carries various O-glycan modifications, which, together with variations in the amino acid composition of the glycopeptide, may result in different biological activities. In this study, O-glycans of casein glycomacropeptide from bovine and caprine whey powder were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by LC-UV-ESI-MS/MS, and their immune activities and regulatory mechanisms were compared. O-Glycans’ total content was 1.54 times higher in bovine than in caprine glycomacropeptide. The glycoform H1N1S2 (H: hexose; N: N-acetylgalactosamine; and S: N-acetylneuraminic acid) accounted for nearly 50% of total glycomacropeptide O-glycans in bovine milk but less than 20% in caprine milk. Bovine glycomacropeptide glycosylation promoted the immune activity of RAW264.7 cells, which may be linked to a higher content of disialylated O-glycans. Glycomacropeptide from both milk sources significantly upregulated the mRNA expression of IL-1α, TNF-α, and IL-10 in RAW264.7 cells and activated the MAPK immunomodulatory signaling pathway. This study demonstrates the possible use of casein glycomacropeptide as an immunomodulatory agent.

In this paper, a novel and stable fluorescent reagent, quinoline-2,3-dicarbaldehyde (QDA), is synthesized as a probe to detect ammonium in natural water. Ammonium reacts with QDA in the presence of SO32− and Ca2+ to form a fluorescence product, which has maximum excitation and emission wavelengths at 429 nm and 518 nm. The concentration of reagents, the reaction temperature, the reaction time, and the pH in the final solution are investigated and optimized. The interferences of typical organic nitrogen and inorganic compounds are evaluated, and results prove that most volatile amines have little or negligible effect. Under the optimized conditions, this method provides a limit of detection of 0.065 μmol L−1, a calibration range of 0.216–9 μmol L−1, and reproducibility (with a relative standard deviation) of 1.9% for 1.5 μmol L−1 ammonium. For water sample analysis, the proposed method provides comparable results to those of the conventional o-phthalaldehyde method but has longer reagent stability (42 days).

Toxic dyes in wastewater will become a significant hazard to human health if they are not treated effectively. Therefore, it is significant to separate and remove dyes from the aqueous solution. C and O co-doped BN (BCNO) with high adsorption capacity and outstanding cycle efficiency is a simple and efficient adsorbent for the cationic dye malachite green (MG). Glucose is characterized as an eco-friendly and cheap source of C and O. Benefited by the high specific surface area (1515.6 m 2 /g), the maximum adsorption capacity of MG is 1511.1 mg/g. Besides, the curves of adsorption fitting correspond to the Langmuir model and the pseudo-second-order model, respectively. Moreover, after 5 cycles, the adsorption efficiency reached 78% of the first time and the adsorption capacity remained above 780 mg/g. Furthermore, in the selectivity adsorption study, the cationic dyes (MG, neutral red (NR), methylene blue (MB)) can be removed more effectively in the binary dye system of MG-methyl orange (MO), NR-MO, MB-MO, MG-Orange II (OR), MB-OR, or NR-OR. BCNO-2 has a promising application in the removal of cationic dyes from complex dye wastewaters.

Developing efficient and environmentally friendly catalytic system is significant for the removal of sulfide in fuel. O-bridged diiron perfluorophthalocyanine/4-mercaptopyridine (FePcF 16 -O-FePcF 16 /4-Mpy) as a novel composite catalyst was designed and prepared by axial coordination. The catalyst characterization was conducted through ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, electrospray ionization–mass spectrometry and density-functional theory technology. A high-efficient extraction oxidative desulfurization system is composed of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), the mixture of ethanol and water and FePcF 16 -O-FePcF 16 /4-Mpy. Notably, the coordination of 4-Mpy greatly enhanced the catalytic activity of FePcF 16 -O-FePcF 16 , 99.4% of the desulfurization rate was achieved in 20 min at 30 °C. The catalyst system was cycled 8 times without significantly reducing the removal of dibenzothiophene. Electron paramagnetic resonance and gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy proved the high-valent iron-oxo intermediates were the main active substances in the FePcF 16 -O-FePcF 16 /4-Mpy/H 2 O 2 system, and the pathway of catalytic oxidation DBT was proposed. This work provided useful insights to select suitable ligands to improve the activity of metal phthalocyanine, and offered a novel idea for the construction of efficient oxidative desulfurization system.
