Based on a normal copper wire, an effective photocatalyst (ACW) for the 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction is successfully synthesized by an in-situ redox method. The constitution of ACW is similar to “ants on a tree”, i.e., dense Au and Cu nanoparticles (NPs) are loaded on the copper wire surface covered by submicro-sized Cu cubes. Employing ACW as photocatalyst, the conversion efficiency of 4-NP can achieve to 100% at 2.5 min and the rate constant for the 4-NP reduction can reach up to 1.45 min −1 . Moreover, ACW exhibits satisfactory reusability for 25 cycles and stability in 12 months. These excellent performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect of Au NPs, Cu NPs and the Cu wire surface covered with submicro-sized cubes. Clearly, the above in-situ redox method provides a facile route to prepare metal NPs-supported bulk photocatalysts. Meanwhile, as-synthesized ACW can be a promising photocatalyst candidate for the practical treatment of 4-NP.

To develop Pt nanomaterials with facile approach is of great significance for the improvement of their catalytic properties for organic pollutants degradation. In this study, we report a simple in-situ reduction strategy to prepare Pt nanoblocks based on graphene/ polyamino acid self-assembly nanofilms. Polyamino acid modified graphene nanofilms severed as the nanoreactor and reducing agent for further fabrication of Pt nanoblocks. The as-prepared complex efficiently transformed 4-nitrophenol into 4-aminophenol completely within 4.5 min (k app is 0.962 min −1 ) and kept good long-term stability. We expect this work to offer a new valuable insight for facile preparation of Pt materials as efficient and recyclable catalysts for water pollution remediation.

Micron-sized zirconium (μZr) is a viable alternative fuel source for high-energy propellants. To explore the combustion performance of Zr-containing DAP-4-based composites, DAP-4/Zr and F/DAP-4/Zr composites were designed. The results showed that the optimized composite had high combustion performance. When DAP-4/Zr was 54:46, the sample had the highest combustion heat and the fastest flame spreading velocity. The combustion time of F/DAP-4/Zr became longer after adding F 2602 , and the flame spread was the fastest when F/DAP-4/Zr was 10:48.6:41.4. The results indicate that the introduction of μZr as a fuel in DAP-4 can improve the material's energy density and combustion characteristics.

4-Chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) is a widely used herbicide across the world. MCPA is persistent and easily transports into anoxic environment, such as groundwater, sediments and deep soils. However, little research on anaerobic microbial degradation of MCPA was carried out. The functional microorganisms as well as the catabolic pathway are still unknown. In this research, an anaerobic MCPA-degrading bacterial consortium was enriched from the river sediment near a pesticide-manufacturing plant. After about 6 months’ acclimation , the MCPA transformation rate of the consortium reached 4.32 μmol g −1 day −1 , 25 times faster than that of the original sludge . 96% of added MCPA (2.5 mM) was degraded within 9 d of incubation. Three metabolites including 4-chloro-2-methylphenol (MCP), 2-methylphenol (2-MP) and phenol were identified during the anaerobic degradation of MCPA. An anaerobic catabolic pathway was firstly proposed: firstly, MCPA was transformed to MCP via the cleavage of the aryl ether, then MCP was reductively dechlorinated to 2-MP which was further demethylated to phenol. The 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing revealed a substantial shift in the bacterial community composition after the acclimation. SBR1031, Acidaminococcaceae , Aminicenantales , Syntrophorhabdus , Acidaminobacter , Bacteroidetes_vadinHA17 , Methanosaeta , Bathyarchaeia , KD4-96, Anaeromyxobacter , and Dehalobacter were significantly increased in the enriched consortium after acclimation, and positively correlated with the anaerobic degradation of MCPA as suggested by heat map correlation analysis. This study provides a basis for further elucidation of the anaerobic catabolism of MCPA, and contributes to developing efficient and low-cost anaerobic treatment technologies for MCPA pollution.

The self-assembly of plasmonic building blocks into superlattices has emerged as a promising route to fabricate metamaterials with customizable nanoscale architecture and collective properties. However, self-assembly of such plasmonic superlattice has proven challenging, owing to the low packing fraction, complex interparticle forces, and local heterogeneity. Besides, the conventional assembly of small nanoparticles usually exhibits localized defects and uncontrollable electromagnetic field distribution, limiting its functionality for real-world application. Here, we report on the self-assembly of multifacet gold nanopolyhedron (AuNPH) into high-quality giant plasmonic superlattice sheets. This bottom-up method involves soft ligand-balanced crystallization of AuNPHs in conjunction with drying-mediated self-assembly. Such AuNPHs superlattice sheets exhibit macroscopic surface area while maintaining a highly ordered nanoscopic structure. We also demonstrate by both experiment and theoretical simulation that the surface-plasmon-induced hotspots are uniformly distributed across the sheet surface, facilitating its application as flexible surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors for detection of 4-aminothiophenol. The Raman enhancement factor (EF) of this flexible SERS sensor can reach 1.7 × 106 with a detection limit reaching the nanomolar scale. Moreover, the Raman signals exhibited high homogeneity across the superlattice sheets with a low relative standard deviation of 4.3%. Such flexible AuNPHs superlattice sheets can be applied as nonconventional SERS platforms with well-defined customizability, suggesting a robust and efficient avenue for real-world applications in high-sensitive inspection of drugs, explosives, and environmental pollutants.

In this article, meso-tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrins modified with different amino acids were designed, synthesized, and researched. The chiral self-assembly behavior of these porphyrin-amino acid molecules can be precisely controlled by adjusting the pH, constituent amino acids, and temperature, thereby giving rise to chiral nanostructures with precisely tailored helical pitch and handedness. This research provides a certain reference for the design and preparation of chiral nanomaterials and has potential application prospects in chiral resolution and chiral catalysis.

We previously reported the design and discovery of three series of 5-carbon linker-containing mono-carbonyl analogs of curcumin (MCACs) as excellent anti-inflammatory agents. In continuation of our ongoing research, we designed and synthesized the fourth series of MCACs, whose central linker is a piperid-4-one. Their inhibitory effects against IL-6 production were evaluated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages. Among them, compounds F8 , F29 , F33 , F35 , and F36 exhibited the IC 50 values under 5 μM. The structure–activity relationship was discussed. Mechanistically, F35 and F36 dose-dependently prevented LPS-induced NF-κB and ERK activation. Finally, pretreatment with F35 and F36 significantly protected the C57B/L6 mice from LPS-induced septic death. Together, these data present a series of new analogs of curcumin as promising anti-inflammatory agents.

In this study, three N ,4-dialkyl-substituted 1,8-naphthalimide fluorescent dyes (NPBA, NPHA, and NPOA) were synthesized in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2 ) by reacting 4-bromo-1,8-naphthalic anhydride with three amines ( n -butylamine, n -hexylamine, and n -octylamine). The optimal reaction conditions and highest yields of these dyes were obtained. The yield of NPHA was 92% ± 0.57% using an organic solvent-free synthetic method. The results also indicate that the reaction time was gradually shortened by elongating the alkyl chain in the amines, and the required reaction pressure was 12 MPa or lower. Additionally, the dyeing of polyester fabrics with these three dyes was investigated using scCO 2 . The optimal dyeing time and temperature for NPBA were 70 min and 150 ℃, but they decreased at 10 gradients with the addition of two carbon atoms to the alkyl chain in the amines. The optimal dyeing pressure increased from 20 MPa to 24 MPa.

4-Aminothiophenol (4-ATP, a toxic pesticide intermediate) residues in waste water endanger water ecology and human health. Therefore, the development of reliable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate is a promising strategy for monitoring and preventing 4-ATP pollution. In this work, a core-shell structured Ag@ZnS hybrid, consisting of Ag nano-core and ZnS nano-shell, was fabricated and employed as a SERS substrate to detect 4-ATP. Owing to the specific core-shell structure, epy as-prepared Ag@ZnS substrate is stable against oxidation and spontaneous agglomeration of Ag NPs, enjoying good stability and uniform hot spots. Moreover, the formation of heterostructure between Ag-core and ZnS-shell offered a remarkable chemical enhancement for the Raman signals. The optimized Ag@ZnS substrate showed high sensitivity for rhodamine 6 G (R6G, 10 −9 M) and methylene blue (10 −8 M) probes, as well as 4-ATP (10 −8 M) target analyte. Likewise, the superior reproducibility (RSD<5.50 %, n = 16) and good stability (79.5 % of initial strength after 28 days) for 4-ATP makes this substrate a good candidate for actual determination of trace 4-ATP. This work proposes a strategy to fabricate a reliable SERS substrate with high sensitivity and superior reproducibility, and the designed Ag@ZnS substrate may be applicable to monitor 4-ATP residues in wastewater.

Producing vanillin from lignin model compounds in an elegant and efficient manner is a focus of chemical utilization in lignocellulosic biomass. The facile synthesis of a cobalt-palladium bimetallic alloy anchored on activated carbon (Co-Pd/C), which excels in the selective oxidation of the lignin model compound 4-methylguaiacol to vanillin, is reported here. The characterization results of Co-Pd/C indicate that the catalysts enhance the catalytic efficiency by forming a cobalt-palladium alloy to modulate the number of d-band cavities and influence the O 2 adsorption. Meanwhile, the synergistic effect between the alloys causes the Co-Pd/C catalyst exhibits good activity and stability in cycling experiments. A series of controlled experiments offer insight into the mechanism of catalytic generation of vanillin from 4-methylguaiacol. This work opens a new opportunity for achieving the valuable aromatic products from lignin.

This paper reported a novel chelating agent and a green precipitation-extraction separation strategy for lithium isotope enrichment. 1-Hydroxy-4-(p-toluidino) anthraquinone and anisole were used as chelating agent and diluent, respectively. Three phases including organic phase, aqueous phase and precipitation could be preparated. The experiment indicated that excess sodium hydroxide was helpful to promote the single-stage precipitation rate and equilibrium time. The isotope result indicated that 6 Li was concentrated in the aqueous phase and 7 Li was concentrated in precipitation phase. The maximum single-stage lithium isotope speration factor reached to 1.013 ± 0.001. By doing thermodynamic analysis of the reaction, the free energy change (ΔG), enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change(ΔS) of the separation process were −8.97 J mol −1 , −21.37 J mol −1 and −0.0438 J mol −1 K −1 at 283 K. The results of DFT simulation and wave function analysis indicated that a lithium ion combined with a chelating agent anion formed a stable six-member ring between two oxygen, which was more stable than sodium ions combined with chelating agent anions (the Gibbs free energy of the lithium ions reaction was more negative). As interaction analysis result showed, the Li-O bond in complex interaction was significantly stronger than the Li-O bond interaction in aqueous phase, which was the theroy that led to the enrichment of 7 Li in organic phase. In the activated carbon treatment experiment, it was found that part of lithium chelator solved in aqueous phase, which resulted in that the lithium abundance of aqueous phase hardly changed. In order to increase the abundance of 6 Li in aqueous phase, it is necessary to add adjuvant to reduce the water solubility of lithium chelate. Overall, an economical and environmental-friendly precipitation method with a certain application prospect for lithium isotope separation was proposed, and the direction of improving the separation performance was pointed out in this paper.

Effective protein adsorption by solid matrices from complex biological samples has attracted attention for broad application in biomedical field. Immobilization of calixarenes to solid supports is an essential process for their application in protein separation and purification. Silica is the most widely used support material in calixarene immobilization. With high concentration of polymer microspheres as templates, the large pore mesoporous silica microspheres with controllable, uniform size and structure were successfully synthesized and the resulting large pore mesoporous silica microspheres were modified with water-soluble tetrasulfonate calix[4]arene of unique hollow cavity-shaped structure. The tetrasulfonate calix[4]arene modified large pore mesoporous silica microspheres (SCLX4@LPMS) were characterized by diverse analytical techniques and their protein adsorption performance were also investigated. The obtained SCLX4@LPMS gave rise to an adsorption efficiency of >90% for cytochrome c and lysozyme within a wide pH range of 3.0–10.0 and possessed remarkably high adsorption capacity of cytochrome c (363.64 mg g −1 ) and lysozyme (166.11 mg g −1 ). The retained cytochrome c and lysozyme can be readily eluted by using phosphate buffer solution containing NaCl as a stripping reagent with the recoveries of 81% and 86% after 5 times enrichment, respectively. The SCLX4@LPMS microspheres have been applied for the selective adsorption of proteins in real samples and had the application potential in protein adsorption, drug delivery, biosensors, and other biomedical fields.
