Recently, ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) and chlorine combined system has been employed as an emerging advanced oxidation process . However, UV-LEDs were commonly considered as monochromatic UV sources. In this study, the obvious quantum yields of chlorine photolysis under 265 nm and 280 nm LEDs irradiations were investigated with treating LEDs as polychromatic UV sources. Particularly, Φ obs-poly of HOCl and OCl⁻ for 265 nm LED were found to be 1.50 and 0.70 mol E −1 , respectively, whereas Φ obs-poly of HOCl and OCl⁻ for 280 nm LED were 1.28 and 0.64 mol E −1 , respectively. It was identified that Φ obs-poly were 5.66–14.63 % lower than Φ obs-mono . This suggests that obvious quantum yield using peak emission wavelength would overestimate the true quantum yield. The production of radical species in LED UV/chlorine systems were determined by the degradation of BA , and illustrated by a mathematical model. Different trends were observed for 265 nm and 280 nm LED UV/chlorine systems as pH increased from 5.0 to 10.0. As pH increased, the formation of OH continuously decreased in both 265 nm and 280 nm LED systems. The formation of Cl increased at neutral pH and more Cl and OH were formed due to the higher molar absorbance coefficient at 280 nm. The chlorine dose-dependent effects on radical productions at pH of 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 were also assessed. At pH of 5.0, OH was the main radical product and had linear correlation with chlorine dose. At pH of 7.5, the productions of OH and Cl showed similar profiles that increased rapidly at low chlorine dosage and then slowed down.

Refractory high-entropy alloy nanocomposites (HEA-NPs) are important class of materials with unique structure and potential applications. Although several synthetic methods have been reported, developing novel routes to prepare nanoscale HEA-based catalysts facilely is still urgently desired. This work takes advantage of confinement assisted arc and plasma shock (APS) to prepare a series of HEA-NPs by regulating the type and proportion of metal precursors. The phase constitutes and morphology of the HEA-NPs are fully characterized. The prepared refractory HEA-NPs possesses five highly dispersed metal components, including titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo) and simultaneously exhibits an uniform hexagonal morphology of nanocrystals . By taking advantage of its unique corrosion resistance , TiNbTaCrMo HEA-NPs can function as a promising candidate for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in natural seawater . And its catalytic performance after alloying is significantly enhanced compared with the elemental metal. Theoretically, the promoted HER activity can be attributed to the strong adsorption for the various metal components in HEA-NPs caused by the upshifting d -band center close to the Fermi level . Furthermore, this confinement strategy can be further extended to synthesize other HEA-NPs. Our strategy provides a novel method to synthesize various HEA-NPs for further catalytic application.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials with narrow band gaps (∼0.3 eV) are of great importance for realizing ambipolar transistors and mid-infrared (MIR) detections. However, most of the 2D materials studied to date have band gaps that are too large. A few of the materials with suitable band gaps are not stable under ambient conditions. In this study, the layered Nb2SiTe4 is shown to be a stable 2D material with a band gap of 0.39 eV. Field-effect transistors based on few-layer Nb2SiTe4 show ambipolar transport with a similar magnitude of electron and hole current and a high charge-carrier mobility of ∼100 cm2 V–1 s–1 at room temperature. Optoelectronic measurements of the devices show clear response to an MIR wavelength of 3.1 μm with a high responsivity of ∼0.66 AW–1. These results establish Nb2SiTe4 as a good candidate for ambipolar devices and MIR detection.

The relationship between the doping position of Nb in Bi 2 Se 3 and its superconductivity is investigated by XPS, magnetic measurement and transport measurement. It is found that for Nb x Bi 2 Se 3 , the main impurity phase comes from BiNbSe 3 . Superconducting volume fraction of Nb doped Bi 2 Se 3 increases with the ratio of Nb inserted in the van der Waals layers. The van der Waals-layer-position doped Nb may lead to superconductivity in Bi 2 Se 3 . This work may stimulate further investigation on topological superconductivity mechanism of Nb x Bi 2 Se 3 .

The carbonization of transition metals in molten salts was performed to study the effect of electrochemical polarization and molten salt medium on the carbonization process. The carbonization of niobium (Nb) has been systemically investigated in Ar atmosphere and molten salts. The effect of particle size and structure of the starting materials, molten salt medium, and electric field on the formation of NbC was studied to reveal the dynamic barriers in the carbonization process. A native oxide layer and/or niobate derivatives generated on the Nb particles are the main barriers for the mass transfer of carbon and Nb towards each other. The results showed that molten salts can accelerate the formation of NbC by enhancing the diffusion of carbon, and the kinetic barrier can be effectively eliminated by supplying negative polarization to the cathode in molten salts to remove the oxide barriers, thereby enhancing carbonization. Besides Nb, tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), titanium (Ti), and tantalum (Ta) can also be carbonized in molten salts with the assistance of an applied electric field.

In this work, antibacterial activity of finger citron essential oil (FCEO,Citrus medica L. var. sarcodactylis) and its mechanism against food-borne bacteria were evaluated. A total of 28 components in the oil were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, in which limonene (45.36%), γ-terpinene (21.23%), and dodecanoic acid (7.52%) were three main components. For in vitro antibacterial tests, FCEO exhibited moderately antibacterial activity against common food-borne bacteria:Escherichia coli,Staphylococcus aureus,Bacillus subtilisandMicrococcus luteus. It showed a better bactericidal effect on Gram-positive bacteria than Gram-negative. Mechanisms of the antibacterial action were investigated by observing changes of bacteria morphology according to scanning electron microscopy, time-kill analysis, and permeability of cell and membrane integrity. Morphology of tested bacteria was changed and damaged more seriously with increased concentration and exposure time of FCEO. FCEO showed a significant reduction effect on the growth rate of surviving bacteria and lead to lysis of the cell wall, intracellular ingredient leakage, and consequently, cell death.Keywords:finger citron;essential oil;antibacterial;mechanism

In recent years, there has been a significant thrust toward the development of novel implant alloys based on β-Ti with low Young’s modulus to prevent stress shielding. In this study, porous Ti–Nb–Ta–Zr alloys with porosity of <55% and macro-pore size of 100–400 μm for biomedical applications were successfully fabricated by a space-holder method. The microstructure and compressive behavior were studied. The results show that the micro-pore size of porous Ti–Nb–Ta–Zr alloys decreases with an increase in the amount of the process control agent (PCA), which has no obvious effect on the porosity and the macro-pore size formed by the space holder. Porous Ti–Nb–Ta–Zr alloys fail mainly because of the cleavage and ductile fracture with some dimples in compression. The compressive modulus increases from 0.6 to 6.5 GPa with the increase in the PCA and decrease of the space holder. The influence mechanism has been analyzed by the finite element calculation and the Gibson–Ashby model.

In this paper, a novel photo-controlled drug-loaded nanomicelles were self-assembled by the amphiphile of hyaluronan- o -nitrobenzyl-stearyl chain (HA-NB-SC) with doxorubicin (DOX) encapsulated within the hydrophobic core. DOX-loaded HA-NB-SC nanomicelles are ∼139 nm in diameter. CD44-overexpressed HeLa cells can easily take up HA-NB-SC micelles through recognition of HA moiety. DOX-loaded HA-NB-SC nanomicelles could be disassembled upon UV light (365 nm) and consequently, release DOX at desired pathological sites. Furtherly, nitrosobenzaldehyde derivative, photo-induced products of HA-NB-SC and DOX could inhibit the proliferation of HeLa cells together. This strategy may shed some light on delivery of hydrophobic anti-cancer drugs in a controlled manner.

The microstructure and phase evolution in Nb-Al system during MA are systemically studied. The existence of Nb-Al amorphous layer surrounding Nb nano-grains after short-time ball milling was confirmed by the HRTEM observation as well as the crystallization behavior in the annealing experiment. It was also found that after short time milling, only very little Al can enter the crystal lattice of Nb and substitute for Nb, whereas most of Al mainly concentrate in this amorphous layer surrounding Nb nano-grains. What's more, interface thermodynamic analysis and calculation were employed to investigate the phase formation and evolution of this amorphous layer in Nb-Al binary system during MA process. Accordingly, positive driving force (≡-ΔG) definitely exists for the formation of the amorphous layer {NbAl} surrounding Nb nano-grains. Thus, these amorphous layers can form and exist stably in the short-time milled Nb-Al system. With the milling time prolonging, this amorphous layer becomes unstable and can crystallize into Nb(Al) ss solid solution when its thickness increases beyond a critical thickness. The critical thickness of this amorphous layer is also predicted by the interface thermodynamics calculation and the corresponding calculated value (approximately 1.9 nm) is consistent with the observed thickness (about 2.2 nm) by the HRTEM within the error range. More importantly, the solubility of Al in the lattice of Nb can be significantly increased resulting from the crystallization of this amorphous layer {NbAl}. Our work provides a new and rational perspective to well understand the complicated microstructure and phase evolution in various nano-sized systems during MA process.

A sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor for the determination of nitrobenzene (NB) was developed based on a carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with a nanocomposite prepared from the conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and carbon nanotubes. The modified CPE exhibits good conductivity, a large surface area, and excellent catalytic activity towards the electrochemical reduction of NB. Under optimal conditions, the modified CPE is capable of detecting NB in the 0.25 to 43 μM concentration range and with a detection limit at 83 nM. Moreover, the sensor is highly stable and reusable, and free of interferences by other commonly present nitro compounds. It was used to determine NB in wastewater samples.

A highly water stable and strong upconversion (UC) luminescence NaYF4@PSI–NH nanosensor for the simultaneous and selective detection of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) was successfully developed. Via the 980 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, these nanosensors emit strong white UC luminescence with five typical emission peaks centered at 363, 455, 475, 546, and 654 nm. The UC emission at both 363 and 546 nm was quenched by the addition of TNT; however, the ratio of luminescence intensity at 363 nm to 546 nm (I363/I546) had no change with the increase of TNT concentration. Meanwhile, only violet UC emission at 363 nm was dramatically quenched via the addition of TNP, and the I363/I546 ratio is negatively proportional to the TNP concentration in the range of 0.01–4.5 μg/mL of TNP. On the other hand, the green UC emission intensity at 546 nm is in negative proportion to the concentration of TNT. Moreover, cyclohexane, toluene, and other nitroaromatics (such as 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) and nitrobenzene (NB)) have no influence on the detection. Therefore, we developed a facile method for the simultaneous and selective detection of TNT and TNP in the mixture solution of nitroaromatics independent of complicated instruments and sample pretreatment.

We present a simple and effective fluorescence method for the detection of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), which is based on TNT recognition by amine-capped silicon quantum dots (SiQDs). The highly luminescent functionalized SiQDs were obtained by a one-step hydrothermal process, using 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane as the precursor. The as-prepared SiQDs were directly used as a recognition probe for the detection of TNT because of the strong interactions between the TNT molecule and the SiQDs with an amine group. The formation of Meisenheimer complexes (TNT–amine complexes) could quench the fluorescence of SiQDs by fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Such fluorescence response could be used to quantify TNT over the range of 5–500 nM with a detection limit down to 1 nM, and has been successfully applied for the assay of TNT in spiked tap water. The probe exhibited excellent selectivity. This method has great potential for applications in TNT detection.
