Higher manganese silicide (HMS) is a naturally abundant, environmentally friendly, and mechanically robust P-type thermoelectric (TE) semiconductor. Isoelectronic doping elements Re and Ge are used to partially occupy cation (Mn) and anion (Si) sites, respectively. Compared with the single Re-doped strategy, TE performance is further improved in the isoelectronic double-doped Mn 0.96 Re 0.04 (Si 0.96 Ge 0.04 ) 1.79 composition. The electrical conductivity (∼54.2 × 10 3 S m –1 at 823 K) is double that of pure HMS (∼26.1 × 10 3 S m –1 ), whereas the power factor increases from ∼1.42 × 10 –3 W m –1 K –2 to ∼1.80 × 10 –3 W m –1 K –2 due to the increase in carrier concentration caused by the decreased band gap (from 0.82 eV to 0.74 eV), as well as the embedding of the Si, Ge nanodispersions with low work functions. Furthermore, the substitution of Re and Ge increases the amounts of lattice defects, and the presence of nanoscale Ge precipitates cause the broadband phonon-scattering effect in the HMS matrix. Finally, the lattice thermal conductivity at 673 K decreases from ∼2.18 W m –1 K –1 to ∼1.60 W m –1 K –1 . The zT value at 823 K increases by ∼36% from 0.45 to 0.61. The strategy of cation and anion double doping can effectively improve the TE properties of materials, which has significance for the optimization of other materials.

Two chalcogenidoantimonates Mn(en) 3 Sb 2 S 4 ( 1 ) and Co(en) 3 Sb 2 Se 4 ( 2 ) have been synthesized in solvothermal conditions. 1 and 2 are consist of transition metal complex cations and [Sb 2 Q 4 ] 2- (Q = S, Se) anions. They have band gaps of 2.20 eV and 2.25 eV, respectively, indicating that they can be used as semiconductor materials. The photocurrent responses of 1 and 2 were also investigated. Photocatalytic experiments showed that both 1 and 2 could degrade methylene blue (MB) upon visible light irradiation, reaching 47 % for 1 and 30 % for 2 , indicating that both compounds are good photocatalytic materials. Therefore, they present a promising potential for the photoelectric research chalcogenides.

Introduction: Wheat bran is the main by-product of wheat processing, containing about 30% pentosan and 0.4%–0.7% ferulic acid. Wheat bran is the main raw material used to prepare feruloyl oligosaccharides by hydrolysis of Xylanase, we discovered that the ability of Xylanase to hydrolyze wheat bran could be affected in the presence of different metal ions.Methods: In the present study, we have probed the effects of different metal ions on the hydrolysis activity of Xylanase on wheat bran and tried to analyze the effect of Mn2+ and Xylanase by molecular dynamic (MD) simulation.Results: Our results suggested that Mn2+ had improved the Xylanase hydrolyzing wheat bran to obtain feruloyl oligosaccharides. Particularly when the concentration of Mn2+ reached 4 mmol/L, the optimal product has been obtained 2.8 times higher to compare with no addition. Through the MD simulation analysis, our results reveal that Mn2+ can induce structural change in the active site, which enlarges the substrate binding pocket. The simulation results also revealed that the addition of Mn2+ resulted in a low RMSD value compared with the absence of Mn2+ and helped stabilize the complex.Conclusion: Mn2+ could increase the enzymatic activity of Xylanase in the hydrolysis of feruloyl oligosaccharides in wheat bran. The finding could have significant implications for the preparation of feruloyl oligosaccharides from wheat bran.

The magnetic nanomaterial Mn3Si2Te6is a promising option for spin-dependent electronic and magneto-optoelectronic devices. However, its application in nonlinear optics remains fanciful. Here, we demonstrate a pulsed Er-doped fiber laser (EDFL) based on a novel quasi-2D Mn3Si2Te6saturable absorber (SA) with low pump power at 1.5 μm. The high-quality Mn3Si2Te6crystals were synthesized by the self-flux method, and the ultrathin Mn3Si2Te6nanoflakes were prepared by a simple mechanical exfoliation procedure. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time laser pulses have been generated using quasi-2D Mn3Si2Te6. A stable pulsed laser at 1562 nm with a low threshold pump power of 60 mW was produced by integrating the Mn3Si2Te6SA into an EDFL cavity. The maximum power of the output pulse is 783 μW. The repetition rate can vary from 24.16 to 44.44 kHz, with corresponding pulse durations of 5.64 to 3.41 µs. Our results indicate that the quasi-2D Mn3Si2Te6is a promising material for application in ultrafast photonics.

MAX phases are layered ternary carbides and nitrides with unique properties, doping transition metals in it is attracting significant attentions for the processing of this relatively new class of materials. In this paper, a magnetic solid solution MAX phase V 2 (Sn 1− x A x )C ( A = Mn, Fe, Co) was synthesized by doping Mn/Fe/Co atoms into V 2 SnC by pressure-less sintering. The XRD results show that when x = 0.4, the characteristic peak shifts to the right, and the substitution reaches saturation. SEM and TEM show that doping does not change the original layered morphology and hexagonal crystal form, but only the lattice constants decrease slightly. Magnetic test results indicate that V 2 (Sn 1− x A x )C is a typical low-temperature magnetic material with a Curie temperature around 60 K, and the magnetization increases with the increase of doping amount. Moreover, we explained the reasons of V 2 SnC doping A-site instead of M-site and the changing trend of the magnetic moments by first-principles calculations, which are consistent with the experimental results.

In this work, fluorescent β- cyclodextrin (β-CD) based probes containing naphthalimide group were synthesized to realize the specific recognition of Hg 2+ /Hg + in aqueous system. Firstly, three small fluorescent molecules (N1, N2 and N3) with -NH 2 groups were synthesized from 4-bromo-1, 8-naphthalene anhydride . Secondly, CH CCH 2 - group was introduced into β-CD by Williamson ether formation reaction. Finally, the target probes (β-CD-PI, β-CD-PY and β-CD-TP) were obtained by Amino-Yne click reaction. These probes can efficiently recognize Hg 2+ /Hg + . β-CD-PI emits bright yellow fluorescence after binding with Hg 2+ /Hg + , which is a turn-on fluorescent probe . When the Hg 2+ /Hg + concentration exceeds 26 μM, the fluorescence intensity amplifies sharply (20 folds). The hydrophobic parts of the probes aggregated together to form a micelle-like structure due to complexation with Hg 2+ /Hg + , resulting in special micelle-sensitizing properties. Meanwhile, the HOMO-LUMO energy levels of the probes were calculated by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The probe is expected to be used for the detection of Hg 2+ /Hg + in aqueous solutions without any organic solvents.

In this study, vanadium powder (V) was employed as a cocatalyst to enhance the Fenton-like system. The V-Fe(III)/H 2 O 2 system can rapidly produce hydroxyl radicals and completely oxidize chloramphenicol with exceptionally high stability for long-term operation. The low-valent vanadium sites on the surface during the stepwise oxidation of vanadium from V 0 to V(IV) can donate electrons for direct H 2 O 2 activation and indirect Fenton reaction by reducing Fe(III) to produce hydroxyl radicals. Meanwhile, density functional theory (DFT) calculation unveils that low-valent vanadium sites of vanadium can lengthen Fe-O bonds of FeOH 2+ to elevate the oxidation potential of Fe(III) and promote Fe(III) reduction induced by H 2 O 2 . The self-cleaning effect of vanadium under acidic conditions can maintain reactive sites for sustainable electron donation and long-lasting enhanced Fenton oxidation. This study provides a novel enhanced Fenton oxidation for water remediation and the first mechanistic insights into the origins of V-based advanced oxidation technologies , it may also be beneficial to treat vanadium-contained wastewater.

Magnetism in van der Waals (vdW) materials has recently garnered significant attention due to their potential for advanced applications. In this study, we investigate the magnetic transition in layered MPSe 3 (M = Fe, Mn) bulk flakes utilizing temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy. Our findings reveal unique features in the Raman spectrum that are strongly correlated with the antiferromagnetic ordering in MPSe 3 . We analyze the spin-dependent Raman scattering modes in MPSe 3 by applying the Suzuki–Kamimura formalism. Consequently, our comparative analyses of the spin correlation function and the reduced magnetization provide compelling evidence of the 2D Ising characteristic especially in FePSe 3 . Our results clearly show the potential of MPSe 3 as a prominent platform for exploring fundamental aspects of low-dimensional magnetism.

Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a major foodborne pathogen causing food poisoning. Standard detection method for foodborne E. coli is plate counting, which is time consuming and omits VBNC cells. PSR is an isothermal amplification technique identifying trace amount DNA. However, its effectiveness is influenced by residual DNA from dead cells. This study aimed at designing a PMA-PSR system for accurate determination of viable cells of E. coli O157:H7. Firstly, PSR was optimized in fluorescence indicator, betaine concentration and reaction time. The optimized system could successfully identify rfbE, stx1 and stx2 genes within 45 min at 65 °C. Secondly, sensitivity and specificity were tested in pure culture and different food samples. With 100% specificity, PSR could determine DNA amount as low as 1.12 pg/μL. Thirdly, a PMA-PSR system was designed for accurate determination of viable cells. Cells were treated with 5 μg/mL PMA to remove residual DNA from dead cells. Pretreated cells were adapted to PSR, thus viable cells were specifically detected. Fourthly, the system was applied in food samples with VBNC cells. Viable cells could be accurately determined in accordance with regular assay. In conclusion, the PMA-PSR system was an efficient tool for accurate determination of E. coli O157:H7 viable cells.

In addition, its electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient exceed 3 S/cm and 300 μV/K at 810 K, respectively, with the compound mainly displaying semiconductor properties . In 0.45 Mn 2.17 Bi 3.38 Se 8 exhibits paramagnetism at room temperature followed by a paramagnetic-to-antiferromagnetic transition at ∼10.2 K.

Generally, researchers focus on the great negative magnetocaloric effect (NMCE) rather than the positive magnetocaloric effect (PMCE) in Mn 3 GaC. Here, we prepared Mn 3 Ga 1−x Tb x C composites with a partial substitution of Ga by Tb. Tb doping expands the canted-ferromagnetic phase (CFM) between the anti-ferromagnetic and ferromagnetic phase in Mn 3 Ga 0.97 Tb 0.03 C. The CFM phase can be as a boundary to separate the NMCE from PMCE. It is possible to combine the NMCE and PMCE for refrigeration. Compared with NMCE in Mn 3 GaC, NMCE–PMCE combination in Mn 3 Ga 0.97 Tb 0.03 C displays a much larger operating temperature range without loss of magnetic entropy changes. Therefore, the NMCE–PMCE combination is valuable for improving the operating temperature range of magnetocaloric effect materials. It also provides a new idea for refrigeration applications.
