A novel water-soluble supramolecular dendronized polymer (SDP) was prepared through cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8])-naphthalene host–guest interaction. The composition ratio between BDP and CB[8] of as-prepared luminescent supramolecular polymer was confirmed by 1H NMR technique and mass spectrometry. In addition, atomic force microscopy (AFM) images showing the polymer chain length up to 150 nm and height up to 1.75 nm unambiguously demonstrate the supramolecular polymer formation. This work might be useful for designing other main chain supramolecular dendronized polymers.

•β-FeOOH nanospindles were obtained on a large-scale (422 g).•The rapid separation of β-FeOOH from hydrolysate was achieved with the use of fulvic acid substance.•Oleic acid-coated β-FeOOH nanospindles were obtained through a two-phased solution process.•Oleic acid-coated β-FeOOH nanospindles showed excellent DCL catalytic activity.A rapid separation method for the large-scale synthesis (422 g) of β-FeOOH nanospindles has been achieved via a facile hydrolysis route, including a simple surface-modified process with sodium oleate to improve the dispersivity of β-FeOOH in the direct coal liquefaction (DCL) reaction. The as-prepared (also oleic acid-coated) β-FeOOH exhibited superior catalytic activity toward DCL reaction. The percent of conversion, oil yield, and liquefaction degree with the oleic acid-coated β-FeOOH are 92.6, 73.8, and 80.8%, respectively. This facile separation approach allows large-scale production of nanocatalyst without any centrifugation or filtration process, which will be applicable for future industrial DCL processes.Download high-res image (308KB)Download full-size image

A new strategy to fabricate CoNx single cluster supported nanocarbon catalysts (C/P/2Co600) with enhanced atomic utilization towards the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is reported. N-Coordination protection and low-temperature pyrolysis are the two key factors for the formation of CoNx single clusters on nanocarbon supports. Morphological and structural identification confirmed the simultaneous anchoring of homo-dispersed CoNx single clusters and N-doping on the nanocarbon under relatively mild thermal treatment conditions. Expectedly, the obtained single cluster catalyst with a trace amount of metal atoms exhibited excellent ORR performance including a positive half-wave potential (0.846 V), a high mass activity (0.98 A mgCo−1, ampere per milligram of cobalt) and outstanding chemical durability after 8000 potential cycles. We believe that our findings provide a new route for the rational design of low-cost and highly active ORR catalytic materials.

The in situ hydrothermal mineralization for a mixture of graphene oxide (GO) and Co-responsive supramolecular hydrogels led to a hybrid graphene aerogel, doped with Co and N elements. The as-prepared aerogels exhibited a competitive half-wave potential (0.840 V, versus RHE) and peak current density (2.35 mA cm−2) to that of Pt/C (0.836 V, 2.23 mA cm−2, respectively). Furthermore, they demonstrated a significantly perfect catalytic efficiency (nearly 100% of 4e− ORR) toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Insight into the structural details of the hybrid aerogels indicates that the CoOX active sites anchored on the graphene matrix play a central role in the upgrading of the catalytic performance of graphene aerogels.

A facile strategy was developed to fabricate structure controllable microcrystals of ferrocene-based metal–organic (Fc-Ala-BCB) materials through evaporation-induced self-assembly. Two distinctive microcrystals, microrods and microtubes had been achieved by tuning the solvents during the self-assemblies. X-ray diffraction analysis was conducted on single crystals to investigate the packing mode of Fc-Ala-BCB molecules, which indicated the two crystals with the hexagonal system. Inheriting the aromaticity and chirality of ferrocenyl and l-Ala, this organic molecule self-assembled into a single-helix structure through intermolecule hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking. Theoretical analysis and stimulated computations were carried out to compare the surface energies of certain planes. Among those microcrystals, the microrods exhibited a higher chemical activity in catalyzing the decomposition of H2O2, due to the high-density atomic steps and kinks on the high energy surfaces. However, the hollow hexagonal tubes displayed appropriate catalytic activity and novel maneuverability toward catalyzing H2O2. The O2 bubbles accumulated at the inner walls of the microtube were periodically released as individual bubbles, suggesting their potential application as a new kind of microengine (e.g., the microrotor).

⿢β-AspFF xerogel linked with Co(II) ions have the capacity to stably store oxygen.⿢β-AspFF-Co(II) complex could activate dioxygen to catalyze cyclohexene oxidation reaction.⿢A higher efficient for catalyzing cyclohexene oxidation system was exhibited by β-AspFF-Co(II) xerogel.This paper introduces a tripeptide (β-Asp-Phe-Phe, abbreviation β-AspFF) which can self-assemble into long nanofibrils in toluene solvent and further entangle to organogels. The nanofibrils of β-AspFF can serves as ligands to incorporate with Co(II) in the organogels. After being re-immersed into HFIP-H2O mixed solution (Volume Ratio, 1:1), the β-AspFF-Co(II) xerogel exhibited decent oxygen binding properties. Impressively, in comparing with β-AspFF-Co(II) complex, the β-AspFF-Co(II) xerogel proved to be a higher efficient catalyst for catalyzing cyclohexene oxidation reaction. We therefore suppose that the porous and nanofibrils structure of the xerogel plays a key role to improve the catalytic behavior of β-AspFF-Co(II) complex.Download high-res image (126KB)Download full-size image

•PCA demonstrated the metabolic footprints during ripening on tangerine peels.•Chemical features of PCR and PCRV were identified with the help of chemometrics.•Volatiles were characterised to the differential aroma of tangerine peels.This paper introduces a detailed method to apply metabolic profiles conducting on tangerine peels (Citrus reticulata ‘Dahongpao’) at three maturity stages from July to December. Principal component analysis not only demonstrated the metabolic footprints of tangerine peels during ripening but also revealed the compounds (d-limonene and linalool) that mostly contributed to it. Furthermore, some other characteristic compounds were screened to further reveal the chemical features of Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae (PCR) and Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae Viride (PCRV). In particular, compounds such as 4-carene (r = −0.94), 3-carene (r = −0.91), β-pinene (r = −0.85) and γ-terpinene (r = −0.87) were screened as major components for the pungent smell of PCRV. Geranyl acetate (r = 0.81), farnesyl acetate (r = 0.87) and three alcohols (6-hepten-1-ol, 3-methyl-1-hexanol, 1-octanol) may lead to the pleasant odour of PCR. We therefore propose that the metabolomics analysis focusing on ripening process will be an effective strategy for quality control of closely related herbal medicines.

This manuscript introduces a simple method to fabricate hybrid aerogels with Fe3O4 nanocrystals/nitrogen-doped graphene (Fe3O4/N-GAs) through one-shot self-mineralization of ferrocenoyl phenylalanine/graphene oxide (Fc-F/GO) supramolecular hydrogels. We found that GO could trigger a sol–gel transition of Fc-F gelators below the critical gelation concentration and the electron microscopic results revealed that the self-assembled Fc-F fibrils tightly bound onto graphene sheets. Upon hydrothermal reaction, Fc moieties in these fibrils could be locally oxidized to Fe3O4 nanocrystals by GO, remaining on the top of reduced GO (RGO) sheets and therefore inhibiting the self-aggregation of graphene nanosheets. After drying, the remains of the supramolecular hybrid hydrogels are presented as the three-dimensional (3D) framework of ultra-thin graphene sheets on which Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) are uniformly immobilized as single crystals. Since the new born Fe3O4 nanocrystals are closely anchored on the graphene sheets, the as-prepared Fe3O4/N-GAs complex shows excellent electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR, compared to commercial Pt/C). Notably, the Fc-F/GO supramolecular hydrogels act as multifunctional reagents, such as capping agents for preventing graphene nanosheets from stacking and Fe and N sources for Fe3O4/N-GAs. We expect that this intriguing strategy can provide a useful archetypical example in designing nonprecious metal oxides/carbon hybrid materials to serve as substitutes for noble metal catalysts.

Abstract

A new type of multistimuli-responsive hydrogels cross-linked by metal ions and biopolymers is reported. By mixing the biopolymer chitosan (CS) with a variety of metal ions at the appropriate pH values, we obtained a series of transparent and stable hydrogels within a few seconds through supramolecular complexation. In particular, the CS–Ag hydrogel was chosen as the model and the gelation mechanism was revealed by various measurements. It was found that the facile association of Ag⁺ ions with amino and hydroxy groups in CS chains promoted rapid gel-network formation. Interestingly, the CS–Ag hydrogel exhibits sharp phase transitions in response to multiple external stimuli, including pH value, chemical redox reactions, cations, anions, and neutral species. Furthermore, this soft matter showed a remarkable moldability to form shape-persistent, free-standing objects by a fast in situ gelation procedure.

This paper introduces a new identification strategy of novel metabolic biomarkers for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Here, we combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) metabolic profiling with three partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) based variable selection methods to screen the metabolic biomarkers of NPC. We found that the variable importance on projection (VIP) method exhibited better efficiency than the coefficients β and the loadings plot for the metabolomics data set of 39 NPC patients and 40 healthy controls. In addition, we proved that the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was more sensitive than the correct rate to evaluate the discrimination ability of the classical models. Therefore, three novel candidate biomarkers, glucose, glutamic acid and pyroglutamate were identified, with a correct rate of 97.47% and an AUC value of 97.40%. Our results suggested that the metabolic disorders of NPC were mainly reflected in the glycolysis and glutamate metabolism; in addition, metabolic levels of the related metabolic pathways may affect each other, such as the TCA cycle and lipid metabolism. We believe that the findings of these novel metabolites will be very helpful for early-diagnosis and subsequent pathogenesis research of NPC.

Ferrocene (Fc)-tagged peptide nanowires (Fc-PNWs) were synthesized via the self-assembly of Fc-coupled diphenylalanine (Phe-Phe, FF) and then used as supporting matrix for immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterization indicated that the Fc-PNWs were twisted together with the diameter around 50 nm. The GOx-functionalized Fc-PNWs contained both mediator Fc and GOx for the electrochemical detection of glucose. Thus, by simply dropping the biocomposite onto the electrode surface in a single step, the resulting biosensor displays high sensitivity, wide linear range and good stability towards glucose detection. The good performance of the biosensor originated from the large amount of Fc moieties contained in the nanowire and the facile electron transfer between Fc and GOx. For real sample analysis, the glucose contents in blood samples determined by the biosensor were in good agreement with those obtained using the glucose detection kit. The simplicity of the biosensor preparation process enables mass production of the biosensor with broad potential commercial applications. The synthesized Fc-PNWs can also be used in diverse sensing and biosensing fields.

Ferrocenoyl Phenylalanine: A New Strategy Toward Supramolecular Hydrogels with Multistimuli Responsive Properties

In this paper we present a new paradigm for designing hydrogelators that exhibit sharp phase transitions in response to a series of disparate stimuli, including oxidation–reduction reactions (redox), guest–host interactions, and pH changes. We have serendipitously discovered that ferrocenoyl phenylalanine (Fc-F) monomers aggregate in water via a rapid self-assembly mechanism to form stable, multistimuli hydrogels. In comparison to other known mono- and multiresponsive gelators, Fc-F is unique because of its small size, economy of gel-forming components, and exceptionally simple molecular structure. Density functional theory (DFT) ab initio calculations suggest gel formation initially involves an antiparallel, noncovalent dimerization step wherein the ferrocenoyl moiety of one axe-like monomer conjoins with the phenyl group of the second monomer via a π–π stacking interaction to form brick-like dimers. This stacking creates a cavity in which the carboxylic acid groups of each monomer mutually interact via hydrogen bond formation, which affords additional stability to the dimer. On the basis of structural analysis via optical and electrical measurements and additional DFT calculations, we propose a possible stepwise hierachical assembly mechanism for fibril formation. Insights into the self-assembly pathway of Fc-F should prove useful for understanding gelation processes of more complex systems. We expect that Fc-F will serve as a helpful archetypical template for others to use when designing new, stimuli specific hydrogelation agents.

This paper introduces the first example of two dimensional (2D) DNA networks that were formed through self-assembly at an air–water interface over time. DNA molecules are highly hydrophilic and have never been reported to exhibit surface activity. Our experimental results confirmed an increase of surface pressure resulting from the formation of a DNA film. We found that upon layer-by-layer Langmuir–Blodgett transformation, 2D DNA molecules preferred to stack on the pre-loaded DNA domains rather than occupy the empty areas on the silicon wafers. We also observed that the fluorescence intensity of DNA films continually increased with incubation time, suggesting that DNA molecules may undertake supra-molecular rearrangements to form well-organized networks. We believe that the success in obtaining well-organized and large scaled DNA 2D and 3D templates may greatly simplify the procedure and decrease the cost for DNA nanotechnologies.

Sensitive electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of protein biomarker tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) was reported that uses ferrocene carboxylic acid (Fc) functionalized self-assembled peptide nanowire (Fc-PNW) as sensor platform and glucose oxidase (GOx) modified gold nanorod (GNR) as label. Greatly enhanced sensitivity is achieved based on a dual signal amplification strategy: first, the synthesized Fc-PNW used as the sensor platform increased the loading of primary anti-TNF-α antibody (Ab1) onto electrode surface due to its large surface area. At the same time, the Fc moiety on the nanowire is used as a mediator for GOx to catalyze the glucose reaction. Second, multiple GOx and secondary anti-TNF-α antibody (Ab2) molecules are bounded onto each GNR to increase the sensitivity of the immunosensor. After the preparation of the immunosensor based on the traditional sandwich protocol, the response of the immunosensor towards glucose was used as a signal to differentiate various concentrations of TNF-α. The resulting immunosensor has high sensitivity, wide linear range (0.005–10 ng/mL) and good selectivity. This immunosensor preparation strategy is a promising platform for clinical screening of protein biomarkers.Highlights► Ferrocene functionalized self-assembled peptide nanowire was synthesized. ► Electrochemical immunosensor was prepared based on the nanowire and gold nanorod. ► Sensitive detection of tumor necrosis factor α was achieved.

•Supramolecular hydrogel was prepared from ferrocene modified amino acid.•The hydrogel modified electrode was utilized as sensing platform for immunosensor.•The reaction of the hydrogel with H2O2 caused the decrease of the redox current.•Glucose oxidase was used as detection antibody label.•The resulting immunosensor displays high sensitivity and good selectivity.A simple and novel supramolecular hydrogel was prepared from ferrocene (Fc) modified amino acid phenylalanine (F) and utilized as electrochemical immunosensing platform for the detection of human IgG. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterization indicated that the hydrogel is composed of fibrils with diameter around 50–100 nm and length extend to 1 mm. When the prepared hydrogel was reacted with H2O2, the Fc moieties on the amino acid was oxidized, leading to the disruption of the hydrogel structure and the decrease of its redox signal, which was characterized in detail by SEM and the electrochemical method. Regarding the redox current decrease upon the reaction of the hydrogel with H2O2, the hydrogel modified electrode was utilized as immunosensing interface. After the construction of the immunosensor based on the traditional sandwich protocol with glucose oxidase (GOx) functionalized carbon nanotube (CNT) as detection antibody label, the GOx attached onto electrode surface would catalyze glucose reaction to produce H2O2 and cause the decrease of redox current of the electrode. The current change is proportional to the concentration of IgG detected in the range from 0.1 to 100 pg/mL. The high sensitivity, wide linear range and good reproducibility of the immunosensor indicate this immunosensing platform can be easily extended to the detection of other protein biomarkers.
