Foodborne pathogenic microorganism pose a serious threat to public health security; thus, constructing quick and sensitive methods for early screening foodborne pathogenic microorganism is necessary for human health. Teicoplanin (Teic) is a broad-spectrum biometric molecule, which can recognize Gram-positive (G + ) bacteria. In this study, using bovine serum albumin (BSA) and PEG 2k as “carrier” and “linker”, respectively. Teic was wired to magnetic beads (MBs) to form the biomimetic dandelion-like magnetic nanoparticles (MBs-PEG-BSA-Teic) to capture Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) and Listeria monocytogenes ( L. monocytogenes ). The MBs-PEG-BSA-Teic displayed excellent capture ability of S. aureus (> 93%) and L. monocytogenes (> 86%). After separation, the fluorescence probes were added, forming a “sandwich” structural compounds, namely, MBs-PEG-BSA-Teic~bacteria~fluorescence probes. The fluorescence intensity of the probes was measured by a multimode microplate reader. Consequently, this novel method showed high detection sensitivity to target model bacteria, and the detection limit of S. aureus and L. monocytogenes in PBS buffer solution and juice were achieved 10 1 CFU/mL, spinach and ground beef samples were achieved 10 2 CFU/g. The method has easy operation and high sensitivity, and it is less interfered by food matrix or negative bacteria; thus, this method is suitable for early screening G + pathogen in suspected food samples.

The synergistic effect of the electrochemical double-layer and pseudocapacitance electrode materials has been extensively used to improve the performance of composite electrodes for supercapacitors (SCs). However, the energy density of SCs is still unsatisfactory for practical utilization. Herein, a C-NiCo2O4/C@Ni–Co–S electrode is ingeniously devised through coupling the interior of 0D/2D carbon-modified NiCo2O4 and the external sheath of Ni–Co–S nanosheets. The 0D carbon quantum dot doping can effectively avoid the agglomeration of NiCo2O4 nanoparticles and improve the electronic conductivity. 2D carbon as the intermediate layer can ameliorate the physical/chemical stability of the electrode. Ni–Co–S nanosheets can improve the area-specific capacitance of the electrode and thus enhance the energy density of the device. As expected, the C-NiCo2O4/C@Ni–Co–S electrode delivers an outstanding specific capacitance of 2396 F g–1 (7.9 F cm–2) at 3 A g–1 and excellent cycling stability (92% after 10 000 cycles). Furthermore, a quasi-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) using C-NiCo2O4/C@Ni–Co–S as positive electrode and active carbon (AC) as negative electrode exhibits a high energy density of 95 Wh kg–1 at 0.9 kW kg–1 and an excellent cycle performance. Our work reveals that this reasonable structure design is very effective for achieving a high-performance positive electrode for practical SC applications.

Discrete oligomers are perfect candidates for understanding the structure-dependent properties of polymers. Herein, a series of discrete conjugated oligo(fluorenediacetylene)s (D-oFDAs) with a degree of polymerization (DP) up to 10 were obtained by purification with automated flash column chromatography from polydisperse polymers. It is found that the chain length can affect not only photophysical properties but also crystalline properties. As the DP of D-oFDAs increased, the longer conjugation length caused red shifts in their optical spectra and weaker crystallinity. The effective conjugation length has been extrapolated to be as long as 9 fluorenediacetylene units. Moreover, the oligomers can form uniform films by solution casting for the fabrication of light-emitting diodes, showing that the octamer has the most efficient electroluminescence (EL) properties. When the crystal of the dimer was exposed to 254 nm UV light, only part of the sample was polymerized via a 1,4-addition reaction. Significantly, the simple, scalable and effective strategy provides opportunities to further optimize the structure with diverse blocks and side chains for precisely building macromolecular architectures.

Solar-driven nano-semiconductor catalysts have shown great potential in solving environmental pollution and energy issues. They convert solar energy into chemical energy, release strong oxidizing hydroxyl radicals (OH·), and thoroughly degrade organic pollutants. However, these photocatalysts in turn may also damage some organic carriers. Therefore, we have used graphite phase carbon nitride (g-C3N4) as the isolation layer to prevent the carrier polyester fiber (PET) from being oxidized by zinc oxide (ZnO). ZnO-g-C3N4@PET composite has been prepared by hydrothermal method, photoluminescence results indicated that ZnO-g-C3N4@PET has a low photo-generated charge recombination rate, while g-C3N4 improves the visible light response of the composite and exhibits an obvious photocatalytic enhancement effect. In the experiment of degrading methylene blue (MB), the degradation efficiency of ZnO-g-C3N4@PET composite has been significantly improved compared with ZnO@PET and g-C3N4@PET alone. In addition, the prepared photocatalyst also has good reusability and still maintains a high degradation rate after five cycles of tests. In the end, a possible mechanism and a pathway of photocatalytic degradation of MB were proposed. All in all, this is a feasible way to build a highly efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable supported photocatalyst.

A tandem process of micellar catalysis and cloud point extraction (CPE) is developed for copper-catalyzed Ullmann C-S coupling reactions in water. The functional nonionic surfactant, amine terminated polyether M2070, affords nano-micelle environment in the aqueous system; the latter splits to two phases above the cloud point temperature (CPT). The nature of the micellar catalysis in M2070 aqueous was investigated by DLS, EDS, XPS, IR, TEM and 1 H NMR. M2070 was verified to provide nano-space for encapsulation and aggregation of the substrates. More importantly, the metallic micelle formed by M2070 chelating copper was identified. It is noteworthy that excellent productivity in pre-micellar catalysis of C-S coupling reactions was obtained with good tolerance of substrate. Finally, the water-micelle system was separated into two phases above the CPT thus to achieve the product separation. Furthermore, the M2070/water system can be recycled and reused.

Proper interface and band alignment always play essential roles in the separation of photoexcited charge of photocatalysts. In this work, we prepared a homodispersed S-scheme carbon nitride homojunction with local electron structure difference by a facile pre-doping and two-step calcination approach. Boron doping into heptazine created extra acceptor impurity, and phosphorus doping into heptazine created extra donor impurity, which eventually modulated the electronic structure of carbon nitride. As heptazines with different element doping were integrated into carbon nitride by recalcination, B–CN and P–CN formed a homodispersed homojunction and thus produced a rich interface. Meanwhile, caused by Fermi energy levels equilibrium, the band bending constructed an S-scheme homojunction, which stimulated photogenerated electrons to transfer from CB of B–CN to VB of P–CN. The homodispersed S-scheme homojunction structure led to efficient suppression of recombination of photoinduced charge and retained stronger redox charge. Consequently, the photocatalytic performance was dramatically boosted to 2620 μmol g −1 from 60 μmol g −1 of pure CN in 4-h hydrogen evolution from water. This novel method for electron structure engineering helped to provide a new strategy for designing homojunction photocatalysts with excellent photocatalytic performance.

The requisite interfacial contact of heterojunction photocatalysts has a significant contribution in separation of interfacial charge carriers for photocatalytic hydrogen (H 2 ) evolution in a more efficient manner. Herein, an internal electric field (IEF)-induced S–scheme system comprised of two-dimensional (2D) CoAl layered double hydroxide (LDH) and 2D molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) was constructed via a simple hydrothermal process. In the presence of visible-light irradiation, the 2D/2D MoS 2 /CoAl LDH hybrid demonstrates eightfold greater photocatalytic H 2 generation rate as compared with that of CoAl LDH. The mechanism was investigated in the light of the results of the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and work-function calculated by density functional theory (DFT) simulation, and the improved activity was ascribed to that the rapid detachment of the electron-hole (e − -h + ) combinations and high redox ability, both are simultaneously realized in MoS 2 /CoAl LDH hybrid with a 2D/2D S–scheme charge transfer mechanism induced by the IEF across interface of the MoS 2 and CoAl LDH. Furthermore, favorable 2D/2D structure and better H* adsorption behavior of MoS 2 /CoAl LDH also promoted the improvement of water reduction performance. This work is a valuable guideline in developing of IEF-induced S–scheme photocatalysts with 2D/2D architecture for improved photocatalytic performance.

The application of high-energy Mg/S batteries was obstructed by the insufficiency of low-cost and non-nucleophilic electrolyte. In this work, a non-nucleophilic electrolyte was prepared by facilely dissolving Mg(CF3SO3)2, MgCl2, and AlCl3 in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME). The equilibrium species of the MTB electrolyte mainly comprise [Mg2(μ-Cl)2(DME)4]2+ and [(CF3SO3)AlCl3]−, which are generated by dehalodimerization reaction and Lewis acid–base reaction, respectively. The electrolyte exhibits a highly efficient reversible Mg deposition/dissolution, low overpotential of around 250 mV, and good oxidative stability up to 3.5 V after conditioning. The conditioning process that the active [Mg2(μ-Cl)2(DME)4]2+ species transforms into [Mg3(μ3-Cl)(μ2-Cl)2(DME)7]3+ was demonstrated, owing to the irreversible deposition of Al3+ on Mg foil. More importantly, this electrolyte exhibited good compatibility and kinetics for reversible Mg/MgSx redox, resulting in a high specific capacity of 866 mAh g–1 at 200 mA g–1 and high power density of 550 W kg–1. This work offers a new direction for low-cost, non-nucleophilic electrolyte and paves the way to explore high-power Mg/S batteries.

The development of doped noble metal catalysts with nonmetal elements to improve the catalytic performance toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is significant for proton exchange membrane fuel cell technology. Here, we report a one-pot for dual-nonmetal-doping strategy for the synthesis of S and P-co-doped mesoporous PtPd nanocages (PtPdSP mNCs) by using pre-synthesized mesoporous PtPd nanocages (PtPd mNCs) as the precursor and triphenylphosphine sulphide as both S and P sources. Benefitting from the combined advantages of metal–nonmetal incorporation, hollow cavity and surface porosity, the resultant quaternary PtPdSP mNCs exhibit outstanding ORR activity and long-term stability. This research work provides a good strategy for the doping of two or more selected nonmetallic elements into metallic nanocrystals with a controllable structure and composition.

For Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) solar cells, eliminating multi-layer crystallization is a key issue of achieving high quality CZTSSe absorber layers and high cell performance. In this work, the formation mechanism of the multi-layer crystallization is revealed, that is, the reaction between CZTS and Mo may give the secondary phase, which subsequently acts as crystal nucleus to facilitate the CZTSSe crystal growth at back interface (Mo/CZTSSe), leading to multi-layer crystallization. By introducing MoO 3 isolating layer, this undesired reaction can be well prevented, and high quality single-layer crystals are obtained. This absorber film with fewer defects and secondary phases exhibits better semiconductor properties . Based on this regulated CZTSSe absorber layer, 11.68% (active area: 0.16092 cm 2 ) and 10.69% (mask area: 0.17586 cm 2 ) certified power-conversion-efficiency have been achieved with significant increase in the open-circuit voltage and fill factor.

Biomass residue cellulose-based poly-(ionic liquid)s (ILs) were in situ synthesized via activators generated by electron transfer for atom transfer radical polymerization in ionic liquid microemulsions. These biomass residues, including apple residue, citrus residue, and ginkgo leaf, were started with pretreatment and modification in ionic liquid microemulsions, and their structure and thermal stability were significantly altered before and after modification as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and 31 P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were used to investigate the molecular structure of the biomass residue cellulose-based poly-ILs. In addition, the adsorption performance of the biomass residue cellulose-based poly-IL adsorbents for heavy metal ions, such as Cd(II), Zn(II), Cr(IV), Cu(II), Mn(II), Ni(II), and Pb(II), in water were investigated. Results show that the prepared adsorbent possesses good thermal stability and certain adsorption capacity for metal ions in water, especially for nickel ions (93.91 mg/g). The prepared adsorbent also exhibits remarkable performance in the field of biomass residue utilization and novel poly-IL adsorbents.

The SPEEK/s-TiO 2 composite membrane was prepared by blending sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) and sulfonated titanium dioxide (s-TiO 2 ) nanoparticles. The important physiochemical parameters such as proton conductivity, water uptake, swelling degree and ion exchange capacity of the composite membrane were measured. The thermal stability and chemical stability were also tested. It was observed that the SPEEK/s-TiO 2 composite membrane exhibited the best selectivity (7.13 × 10 4 S·min·cm −3 ) accompanying high proton conductivity (0.061 S·cm −1 ) and low tetravalent vanadium ion (VO 2+ ) permeability (8.55 × 10 −7 cm 2 ·min −1 ) compared with Nafion117, SPEEK and SPEEK/TiO 2 membranes. The battery performance with these membranes was characterized by charge–discharge cycling tests and it was found that the SPEEK/s-TiO 2 composite membrane showed the highest energy efficiency (EE) up to 82.3%, indicating the SPEEK/s-TiO 2 composite membrane is a candidate for vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) application. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
