A novel covalent organic framework, Schiff base network-1 (SNW-1), was synthesized and used as a solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber coating material . The SNW-1 coated SPME fiber was fabricated by a covalent chemical cross-linking between the SNW-1 nanocomposite and a silanol-functionalized stainless steel wire substrate. Scanning electron microscopy and nitrogen isothermal adsorption results indicate that the new fiber coating exhibited a porous, homogenous surface with the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface of 668 m 2 g −1 . The prepared fiber was explored for the SPME of phenols from honey samples prior to their determination by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The developed method had large enrichment factors (136–816), low limits of detection (0.06–0.2 ng g −1 ), good linearity (0.1–100.0 ng g −1 ) and repeatability (<9.7%) for phenols. The recoveries for spiked phenols (1.0 ng g −1 and 10.0 ng g −1 ) in Wolfberry , Robinia and Codonopsis honey samples were in the range of 84.2–107.2% with the relative standard deviations ranging from 3.8% to 12.7%. The developed method was suitable for the determination of phenols from honey samples.

Herein, flexible and hierarchical porous catalytic carbon nanofibrous membranes (MnO/Co@SiO2-CNFMs) driven by gravity were prepared using a co-electrospinning technique and self-reduced pyrolysis. Benefiting from the active metals and precursor carrier design, the composite active MnO/Co crystals can be directly produced without any reducing gases and easily migrate to the carbon nanofiber surface during the carbonization process. Meanwhile, the silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) doped in the carbon nanofibers (CNFs) can maintain the carbon nanofiber structure without obvious shrinkage as well as transmit and scatter the outer stress, which endowed the membrane with robust flexibility and mechanical strength. The as-prepared MnO/Co@SiO2-CNFMs exhibited a superhydrophilic surface with a water contact angle of 0°, fast water flux of 752 ± 28 L m−2 h−1, and prominent catalytic performance with a high degradation efficiency over 99.5% toward methylene blue (MeB). Furthermore, four typical refractory pollutants (phenol, bisphenol-S, chlorophenol and sulfamethoxazole) can also be efficiently degraded by the gravity driven MnO/Co@SiO2-CNFMs/PMS system. This study is meaningful for the development of novel catalytic membranes with high efficiency and low energy consumption for wastewater treatment.

Exploration of novel wormlike micelle systems is important for both the theory and applications of surfactant self-assembly. A new anionic surfactant, sodium 2-phenoxyhexadecanoate (sodium Ph-C16), was synthesized in this work. This surfactant can self-assemble in solution to form wormlike micelles with the help of a bolaform salt, ethane-1,2-bis(trimethyl ammonium bromide) (N-2-N bromide), by removing inorganic salts. The resultant aqueous system was investigated using rheological measurements, freeze-fractured-TEM and 2D NOESY 1H NMR experiments. A supramolecular gemini-like structure constructed from electrostatic interactions was a prerequisite for the wormlike micelle formation. The zero shear viscosity (η0) of the system had a very strong dependence on the surfactant concentration with a scaling exponent of 16.8 in the semi-dilute region, which is attributed to the extremely strong electrostatic attraction between the surface-active anions and bolaform cations. These results are beneficial for understanding anionic wormlike micelles in the absence of inorganic salts.

In this study, a novel carbon bead string (CBS) is synthesized through a simple method, which is subsequently introduced into the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) as a cathode catalyst. The resultant CBS cathode displays decent electro-catalytic activities for the traditional iodide redox couple (I 3 − /I − ). More importantly, CBS cathode presents distinct superiorities when applied in an organic sulfide redox couple (T 2 /T − ). T 2 /T − electrolyte-based DSCs with CBS cathode has resulted in a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 5.83%, which is much higher than that of Pt cathode-based counterpart (3.71%), demonstrating 57.1% of PCE improvement.

3D porous N-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO) aerogels were synthesized by a hydrothermal reduction of graphene oxide (GO) with urea and following freeze-drying process. N-rGO aerogels have a high BET surface of 499.70 m 2 /g and a high N doping content (5.93–7.46 at%) including three kinds of N (graphitic, pyridinic and pyrrolic). Their high catalytic performance for phenol oxidation in aqueous solution was investigated by catalytic activation of persulfate (PS). We have demonstrated that N-rGO aerogels are promising metal-free catalysts for phenol removal. Kinetics studies indicate that phenol degradation follows first-order reaction kinetics with the reaction rate constant of 0.16799 min −1 for N-rGO-A(1:30). Interestingly, the comparison of direct catalytic oxidation with adsorption-catalytic oxidation experiments indicates that adsorption plays an important role in the catalytic oxidation of phenol by decreasing the phenol degradation time. Spin density and adsorption modeling demonstrates that graphitic N in N-rGO plays the most important role for the catalytic performance by inducing high positive charge densities to adjacent carbon atoms and facilitating phenol adsorption on these carbon sites. Furthermore, the activation mechanism of persulfate (PS) on N-rGO was first investigated by DFT method and PS can be activated to generate strongly oxidative radical (SO 4 · - ) by transferring electrons to N-rGO.

Although o -quinonemethide (6-methylene-2,4-cyclohexadien-1-one) has been proposed as a key intermediate in char formation during the pyrolysis of guaiacol (2-methoxyphenol), direct evidence of this (e.g., spectroscopic data) has not yet been provided. Using in situ FTIR spectroscopy, the pyrolysis of guaiacol was investigated from 30 °C to 630 °C at 40 °C/min. The IR profiles showed direct evidence of o -quinonemethide production at about 350 °C, which vanished rapidly at around 420 °C in the vapor phase, indicating char formation. In addition, at 400 °C, salicyl aldehyde was observed, which decomposed slowly at about 500 °C. In combination with the known products of guaiacol pyrolysis, these results allowed the major reaction pathways of guaiacol pyrolysis to be discerned. Density functional theory calculations were performed, and the results were found to be in good agreement with the experimentally obtained IR profiles. These findings provide guidance on how to suppress secondary reactions of guaiacol during lignin pyrolysis.

As an eco-friendly compound and good solvent, cineole (1,8-cineole, eucalyptol) has been evaluated for the extraction property of phenols (phenol or p-cresol) from aqueous solutions. This paper presents experimental (liquid + liquid) equilibrium (LLE) data for the ternary (water + phenol + cineole) and (water + p-cresol + cineole) mixtures from high concentration to low concentration of phenols-water solution. The mutual solubility of the binary (water + cineole) and (water + phenol or p-cresol) systems, and the LLE results for the ternary systems were determined with a tie-line method at T = (283.15, 298.15, and 313.15) K under atmospheric pressure. The experiment LLE results showed that cineole as a good extractant exhibited high extraction ability for phenol or p-cresol from aqueous solutions. The influence of temperature on the (liquid + liquid) phase equilibria was studied. The well-known Hand and Bachman equations were used to test the reliability of the experimental values. Moreover, the experimental LLE results were satisfactorily correlated by the NRTL and UNIQUAC models.

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 ability to supply suitable blood vessel system is a major challenge for artificial thick tissue engineering. Angiogenesis is a key point during the process of microvascular formation. Many bioactive molecules such as extra cellular matrix (ECM) proteins and adhesion peptides derived from the ECM are applied to promote angiogenesis. In this work, two adhesion peptides, YIGSR and REDV, were selected to modify sodium alginate (ALG) to obtain YIGSR- and REDV-alginate conjugates (ALG-YIGSR, and ALG-REDV, respectively). We mixed the two peptide-conjugates together in a series of concentration ratios to prepare bioactive surfaces for in vitro studies and hydrogel scaffolds for in vivo studies. In vitro studies showed that surfaces modified with 1.09 pmol/mm 2 peptide had the best affinity to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) than that with high or low concentrations of peptides. In addition, surfaces modified with dual peptides could significantly promote HUVECs proliferation, where ALG-YIGSR:ALG-REDV at a mole ratio of 5:1 exhibited the best enhancement ability. Furthermore, the in vivo angiogenesis results demonstrated that hydrogel scaffolds composed of mixed ALG-YIGSR and ALG-REDV at the 5:1 ratio had angiogenic induction potential by stimulating new blood vessel formation, and showed higher blood vessel density than scaffolds composed of a single peptide. These results demonstrated that a mixed combination of peptide alginate conjugates could be a potential scaffold to stimulate and induce angiogenesis in tissue engineering applications.

In this study, mesoporous SBA-15 bifunctionalized with cetyl and amino groups (cetyl/amino-SBA-15) was successfully prepared by a post-synthesis grafting method. Detailed characterization by XRD, FT-IR, N2 adsorption–desorption and elemental analysis confirmed that cetyl/amino-SBA-15 still retained a long-range ordered hexagonal mesostructure. Cetyl and aminopropyl groups were simultaneously functionalized on the surface of SBA-15. The adsorption capacity of cetyl/amino-SBA-15 was much higher than the arithmetic sum of those of cetyl-SBA-15 and amino-SBA-15 due to the cooperative effect of hydrogen bonding/electrostatic interaction between 4-nonylphenol (4-NP) and aminopropyl groups and hydrophobic interactions between 4-NP and cetyl groups. The effects of the dosage and mole ratio of cetyl and amino groups on the adsorption properties of cetyl/amino-SBA-15 for 4-NP were also investigated. Cetyl/amino-SBA-15 exhibited excellent adsorption capacity over a wide range of pH values and cetyl/amino-SBA-15(3.2/0.8) displayed the highest adsorption capacity up to 120 mg g−1. Furthermore, cetyl/amino-SBA-15 exhibited high adsorption selectivity for 4-NP against phenol as well as high reusability, showing great potential for applications in wastewater treatment.

Octahedral Cu 2 O particles were prepared on an indium-tin oxide glass via electrodeposition and were employed in the catalytic degradation of p -nitrophenol in the presence of H 2 O 2 . Under irradiation of a warm visible-light source, tungsten halogen lamp, Cu 2 O particles not only acted as a photocatalyst, but might also act as a thermal-catalyst to induce the decomposition of H 2 O 2 and produce O 2 at higher temperatures. The photogenerated electrons and holes could react with H 2 O 2 , O 2 , and H 2 O to produce abundant OH radicals, resulting in the effective oxidation of p -nitrophenol. High-performance liquid chromatography measurements of degradation intermediates showed that p -nitrophenol was first decomposed into hydroquinone and benzoquinone and then mineralized. The degradation efficiency was dependent on electrodeposition time, light intensity, H 2 O 2 amount, and solution temperature. This catalyst could be easily recycled and used in the efficient degradation of other phenolic compounds.

A novel zwitterionic hydrophilic porous monolithic stationary phase was prepared based on the thermal-initiated copolymerization of N , N -dimethyl- N -(3-methacryl-amidopropyl)- N -(3-(sulfopropyl)ammonium betaine and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. A typical hydrophilic separation mechanism was observed at a highly organic mobile phase (ACN >60%) on this optimized zwitterionic hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) monolithic stationary phase. Good permeability, stability, and column efficiency were observed on the final monolithic column. Additionally, a weak electrostatic interaction for charged analytes was confirmed in analysis of six benzoic acids by studying the influence of mobile phase pH and salt concentration on their retention behaviors on the obtained zwitterionic HILIC monolithic column. The optimized zwitterionic HILIC monolith exhibited good selectivity for a range of polar test analytes.
