To meet the requirement of high catalytic efficiency toward the reduction of p-nitrophenyl compounds, we designed a new one-dimensional Fe3O4/FeNi embedded-nanostructured catalyst synthesized by a one-pot controlling-growth-reduction process in a solvothermal system, in which Fe3O4 phase was implanted in the base of FeNi alloy. In the Fe3O4/FeNi catalyst system, the Fe3O4 embedded phase attracts the nitro group of p-nitrophenyl compounds by its high-density electrons, which can efficiently promote the activity of amorphous FeNi active centers for selective catalysis toward the reduction of a range of p-nitrophenyl compounds. Moreover, for the para-group in the nitrophenyl compounds, an increasing electron-donating power contributes to a higher catalytic activity, while electron-withdrawing power obtains the reverse case. Additionally, the Fe3O4/FeNi composite nanocatalyst exhibited an outstanding cycling performance over 20 times without obvious performance decay. This work opens an avenue to design more powerful non-noble metal catalysts for green chemistry.

RhP nanoparticles supported on reduced graphene oxide (RhP/rGO) synthesized by using a simple one-step wet-chemical approach have been investigated as superior catalysts toward dehydrogenation of hydrous hydrazine for chemical hydrogen storage . These RhP/rGO catalysts with different contents of P doping were characterized by ICP-AES, XRD , XPS , TEM, and STEM-HAADF. Thanks to the synergistic effect of phosphorous-doping, the obtained Rh 92.6 P 7.4 /rGO hybrid exhibits 100% H 2 selectivity, superior stability, and excellent catalytic performance with turnover frequency value (TOF) of 843.9 h −1 toward hydrogen generation from alkaline solution of hydrazine at 323 K.

Nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CDs) have become a current focus of chemical research due to their superior photoluminescence (PL) properties and high fluorescence quantum yield (QY). In this paper, we reported a facile, simple and low-cost approach for the synthesis of highly fluorescent and stable N-CDs by hydrothermal treatment of maleic acid and ethylenediamine. The as-prepared N-CDs emitted strong blue fluorescence with an absolute QY of up to 45%, and exhibited pH-independent behavior in a wide pH range from 1 to 13 and good water solubility. In addition, the fluorescence of the N-CDs can be significantly quenched by p-nitrophenol (4-NP) through an electron-transfer-induced dynamic quenching mechanism, leading to 4-NP being sensed optically. The sensor presented a good linearity with 4-NP concentration in the range of 0.10–11 μg mL−1. The detection limit of 22 ng mL−1 4-NP could be obtained, which is lower than the 60 ng mL−1 limit allowed in drinking water by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. The sensor exhibited rapid recognition and distinguished selectivity to 4-NP over other structural analogues of phenols. Moreover, the sensing system was successfully applied for the determination of 4-NP in environmental water samples.

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is a promising conductive polymer due to its high conductivity and optical transparency. However, two main challenges remain to be solved for its practical application, including improving the humidity stability and water resistance. Here, a novel cross-linkable copolymer of methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate grafted poly(styrene sulfonate-co-2-hydroxyethyl acrylate) [MOI-P(SS-HEA)] is synthesized by a radical polymerization and condensation reaction. MOI-P(SS-HEA) is used as a multi-functional counter anion to obtain the UV-curable conductive dispersion of PEDOT:MOI-P(SS-HEA). The electrical conductivity, humidity stability, and water resistance of the cross-linked PEDOT:MOI-P(SS-HEA) [PEDOT:MOI-P(SS-HEA)-C] conductive films are investigated. The results indicate that the UV cross-linked reaction significantly improves the humidity stability and water resistance of the PEDOT:MOI-P(SS-HEA)-C conductive film.

Chicken P-glycoprotein (chP-gp), encoded by Abcb1 , determines the bioavailability because of its effect on pharmacokinetics of various drugs. However, comprehensive studies on chP-gp are still limited. In this study, the chicken full-length cDNA was first successfully cloned and then stably expressed in MDCK cell line. The open reading frame of chicken Abcb1 consists of 3864 nucleotides, encoding for a 1287-amino acid protein. Sequence alignments analysis showed that chicken P-gp had high identities with the homologues of turkey (95%), human (72%), pig (72%), rat (71%) and cattle (68%). The efflux ratio of rhodamine123 (Rho123, a human P-gp substrate) in ch Abcb1 transfected MDCK cells was significantly higher than that in the wild type MDCK cell (6.24 vs 1.64, P < 0.05), suggesting a good transporting function of chicken P-gp overexpressed in the transfected cell. Importantly, MDCK-ch Abcb1 cells, unlike Caco-2 cells, exhibited biphasic saturation kinetics in transporting Rho123. In conclusion, an MDCK cell line stably expressing ch Abcb1 was successfully established, which could provide a new cell model to screen its substrates and inhibitors and study the drug-drug interaction medicated via chicken P-gp.

p -Arsanilic acid ( p -ASA) is widely used in China as livestock and poultry feed additive for promoting animal growth. The use of organoarsenics poses a potential threat to the environment because it is mostly excreted by animals in its original form and can be transformed by UV–Vis light excitation. This work examined the initial rate and efficiency of p -ASA phototransformation under UV-C disinfection lamp. Several factors influencing p -ASA phototransformation, namely, pH, initial concentration, temperature, as well as the presence of NaCl, NH 4 + , and humic acid , were investigated. Quenching experiments and LC–MS were performed to investigate the mechanism of p -ASA phototransformation. Results show that p -ASA was decomposed to inorganic arsenic (including As(III) and As(V)) and aromatic products by UV-C light through direct photolysis and indirect oxidation. The oxidation efficency of p -ASA by direct photosis was about 32%, and those by HO and 1 O 2 were 19% and 49%, respectively. Cleavage of the arsenic–benzene bond through direct photolysis, HO oxidation or 1 O 2 oxidation results in simultaneous formation of inorganic As(III), As(IV), and As(V). Inorganic As(III) is oxidized to As(IV) and then to As(V) by 1 O 2 or HO . As(IV) can undergo dismutation or simply react with oxygen to produce As(V) as well. Reactions of the organic moieties of p -ASA produce aniline, aminophenol and azobenzene derivatives as main products. The photoconvertible property of p -ASA implies that UV disinfection of wastewaters from poultry and swine farms containing p -ASA poses a potential threat to the ecosystem, especially agricultural environments.

It is known that CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite films with high crystallization and controlled morphology always show enhanced power conversion efficiency. Here we incorporate a small amount of polyvinylidene fluoride–trifluoroethylene polymer P(VDF-TrFE) into PbI2 solution to control the crystallinity and morphology of perovskite layer in a two-step deposition process. Our results show that the P(VDF-TrFE) bridges the grain boundaries and also enhances the crystallinity of the perovskite layer significantly. By adjusting P(VDF-TrFE) concentration, the fabricated perovskite solar cells show improved average power conversion efficiency from 9.57 ± 0.25% to 12.54 ± 0.40% under a standard illumination of 100 milliwatts per square centimeter, which increases by nearly 31%. Thus, we demonstrate a new strategy to control the crystallinity and morphology of perovskite films by incorporating polymer into PbI2 film in a two-step deposition process. In addition, this method has been proven as an effective way to prepare high-performance perovskite solar cells.

To investigate the effect of modified graphene (Gra) by poly(methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) monomethacrylate-co-1-vinyl-3-ethylimidazolium bromide) (P[MPEGMA-IL]) on crystallization and dielectric behavior for poly(lactic acid) (PLA), the neat PLA and its composites were fabricated via solution blending and hot pressing. P[MPEGMA-IL] can improve the dispersibility of Gra in PLA matrix. The crystallization rate of PLA composites was increased with increasing the content of P[MPEGMA-IL] and Gra due to the plasticizing effect of P[MPEGMA-IL] and the nucleating effect of better-dispersed Gra. In the frequency spectra of PLA composites treated by cold crystallization process, α relaxation and interfacial polarization resulted in high values of dielectric permittivity. The incorporation of modified Gra into the matrix can accelerate interfacial polarization. The effect of modified Gra on charge carrier movement mechanism was resulted from the increase of the mobile charge carriers at the interphase and the dielectric strength of interfacial polarization.

Mesoporous solid acid catalyst WO3/SBA-15 exhibited high performance for the production of bio-based p-xylene (PX). After immobilization on SBA-15, isolated [WO4]2− tetrahedral species which were coordinatively unsaturated, were generated and functioned as Lewis acid centers. The ratio of Lewis to Brønsted acid sites varied in the range of 7.4 to 13.4 by adjusting the calcination temperature. A high ratio of Lewis to Brønsted acid sites and the mesoporous structure contributed to the high activity and stability: a selectivity of 88.0% for PX with a conversion of 64.4% and a carbon balance of 90.1% was achieved over 0.20-WO3/SBA-15-700. Compared with microporous Sn-Beta, the as-prepared catalyst showed better resistance to carbon deposition with a 20% higher yield. The spent catalyst could be easily regenerated by calcination at high temperature. The conversion decreased by 3% and no loss in PX selectivity was observed after five regeneration cycles. The as-prepared WO3/SBA-15 catalyst is highly active, stable and recyclable, and has high potential towards bio-based PX production.

In this work, we prepared a new wide band gap semiconductor, p -block metal oxyhydroxide InOOH, which exhibits efficient activity for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) degradation under mild conditions and UV light irradiation. The apparent rate constant for PFOA degradation by InOOH is 27.6 times higher than that for P25 titania. Results show that ionized PFOA (C 7 F 15 COO − ) can be adsorbed much more efficiently on the surface of InOOH than P25. Then, the adsorbed C 7 F 15 COO − can be decomposed directly by photo-generated holes to form C 7 F 15 COO radicals. This process is the key step for the photocalytic degradation of PFOA. Major degradation intermediates, fluoride ions and perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCAs) with shorter chain lengths were detected during PFOA degradation. A possible pathway for photocatalytic degradation of PFOA is proposed based on the experimental results. Therefore, this studies indicates a potential new material and method for the efficient treatment of PFCA pollutants under mild conditions.

We demonstrate a quickly responsive, highly sensitive, excellently selective and conveniently recyclable fluorescent film sensor for the detection of formaldehyde (FA) vapor, which is based on Fluoral-p infiltrated SiO2 inverse opal photonic crystals (IOPCs). The as-prepared sensor combined the properties of the IOPC’s interconnected macroporous structure, high surface area, and slow photon effect which can amplify the fluorescence, and the formation of a fluorescent product generated from selective reaction between Fluoral-p and FA. Upon exposure to FA vapor for 20 s, the resulting fluorescence can be clearly observed and the intensity can be magnified remarkably. The fluorescence enhancement for FA detection on the optimized sensor can be up to 76.3-fold compared with that for the control sample. The sensor achieved a detection limit of 0.008 mg m−3 and had good selectivity for FA. Additionally, the sensor could be easily recycled by washing with ethanol, followed by infiltration by Fluoral-p again. Therefore, the designed Fluoral-p infiltrated IOPC can be utilized as a highly effective fluorescent sensor for detecting gaseous FA, which provides a promising strategy for improving response rate and detection sensitivity, and has enormous potential for the detection of other gases by choosing suitable IOPCs and functional reaction molecules.

In recent years, persulfate activation systems have received increasing attention due to their high oxidation reactivity when removing environmental pollutants. Pyrite, the most common metal sulfide on Earth’s surface, can supply abundant Fe 2+ for persulfate activation. The role of the generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) in persulfate-pyrite systems however, is not fully understood. In this study, batch experiments were used to investigate p -chloroaniline (PCA) degradation by a pyrite-persulfate system. The effects of pyrite dosage, pH, temperature, air conditions (aerobic vs. anaerobic) and pyrite particle size on PCA degradation were examined. Radical detection was conducted using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) methods. Results from the EPR spectra indicated that PCA degradation was achieved by sulfate radical and hydroxyl radical oxidation. Aerobic conditions were more beneficial to PCA degradation than anaerobic conditions due to the generated superoxide radicals (O 2 − ) that activated the persulfate to produce more sulfate radicals (SO 4 − ). PCA degradation also increased with higher pyrite doses and under acidic conditions (pH 3.0 and 5.0). PCA was removed completely at pH 3.0 after 60 min. Temperature increase from 10 to 50 °C significantly promoted PCA degradation. These findings provide new understanding of the mechanism involved in pyrite activation of persulfate which can be used to improve PCA degradation by pyrite-persulfate systems.
