Accumulation of arsenic (As) in rice grain was reported in many regions of the world, including the United States, which has been a threat to human health. This field research investigated the grain As accumulation and its relationship with the uptake of selenium (Se), molybdenum (Mo), and cadmium (Cd) in soils with and without monosodium methane arsonate (MSMA) amended, as effects of selected rice cultivars and water management. Results indicated that MSMA increased the accumulation of As and Se but decreased Mo for all six cultivars under four irrigation management. MSMA also increased grain-Cd in some cultivars. In no MSMA-amended …

In this article, we demonstrated carbon aerogel-silica composites derived from polyurea-cross-linked silica xerogel powders (C-PUA@silica) as anodes for Na-ion batteries. These xerogel-derived hard carbons with embedded silica showed a stable high capacity. Of the several hard carbon samples derived at different temperatures, the pyrolyzed sample at 800 °C (C-PUA@silica-800) showed a high capacity of 236 mAh/g at a current density of 10 mA/g and a stable cycle-life at 200 mAh/g. The galvanostatic charge-discharge curves displayed a sloping voltage profile reminiscent of the adsorption mechanism of Na+ storage. On the other hand, higher temperature-pyrolyzed samples at 1300 °C (C-PUA@silica-1300) displayed a …

Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) is a rapidly growing technology at the forefront of sustainable chemistry, leveraging the ability of microorganisms to catalyze electrochemical reactions to synthesize valuable compounds from renewable energy sources. The reduction of CO2 is a major target application for MES, but research in this area has been stifled, especially with the use of direct electron transfer (DET)-based microbial systems. The major fundamental hurdle that needs to be overcome is the low efficiency of CO2 reduction largely attributed to minimal microbial access to CO2 owing to its low solubility in the electrolyte. With their tunable physical …

Designing highly active and robust catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction is key to improving the overall efficiency of the water splitting reaction. It has been previously demonstrated that evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA) can be used to synthesize highly porous and high surface area cerate-based fluorite nano catalysts, and that substitution of Ce with 50% rare earth (RE) cations significantly improves electrocatalyst activity. Herein, the defect structure of the best performing nano catalyst in the series are further explored, Nd2Ce2O7, with a combination of neutron diffraction and neutron pair distribution function analysis. It is …

This study explores the potential to predict the drug-loading and release profiles of aerogels based on their morphologies: a milestone in drug delivery research, which can help save time and cost in formulating new aerogel drug carriers and cut-down evaluation of the drug delivery capabilities of aerogels to a few experimental runs. Polyurea (PUA) and poly(isocyanurate-urethane) (PIR-PUR) aerogels were used as model systems, while 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and paracetamol (PM) were used as model drugs. These model systems were chosen because they can be synthesized into different morphologies, which can be quantified by the so-called K-index (water contact angle divided by …

Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) was applied to gain insights into the electronic and vibrational spectroscopic properties of an important electron transport mediator, methyl viologen (MV2+). an organic dication, MV2+ has numerous applications in electrochemistry that include energy conversion and storage, environmental remediation, and chemical sensing and electrosynthesis. MV2+ is easily reduced by a single electron transfer to form a radical cation species (MV•+), which has an intense UV–visible absorption near 600 nm. the redox properties of the MV2+/MV•+ couple and light-sensitivity of MV•+ have made the system appealing for photo-electrochemical energy conversion (e.g., solar hydrogen generation from water) and …

In the past detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs), sized 3–5 nm, have been praised for their colloidal stability in aqueous media, thereby attracting vast interest in a wide range of applications including nanomedicine. More recent studies have challenged the consensus that DNDs are monodispersed after their fabrication process, with their aggregate formation dynamics poorly understood. Here we reveal that DNDs in aqueous solution, regardless of their post-synthesis de-agglomeration and purification methods, exhibit hierarchical aggregation structures consisting of chain-like and cluster aggregate morphologies. With a novel characterization approach combining machine learning with direct cryo-transmission electron microscopy and with X-ray scattering and vibrational spectroscopy, …

Anion-tuning in metallic chalcogenides has been shown to have a significant impact on their electrocatalytic ability for overall water splitting. In this article, copper-based chalcogenides (Cu2 X, X= O, S, Se, and Te) have been systematically studied to examine the effect of decreasing anion electronegativity and increasing covalency on the electrocatalytic performance. Among the copper chalcogenides, Cu2Te has the highest oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity and can sustain high current density of 10 and 50 mA cm−2 for 12 h. The difference in intrinsic catalytic activity of these chalcogenide surfaces have been also probed through density functional theory calculations, which …

Carbon−halogen bond cleavage has been studied extensively for many years as a simple electrosynthesis step in the formation of more complex natural products. Reduction of halogenated phenols has received less attention, in part, due to the lowered faradaic efficiency resulting from the competing hydrogen evolution reaction. Herein, we report the electroreduction of a series of brominated phenols through a homogeneous electrocatalytic (EC′) mechanism. Beginning with the structurally simple 2-bromophenol, we use foot-of-the-wave analysis to determine optimal catalysts. Nickel (II) salen requires the lowest overpotential for C−Br reduction and was used across all substrates. Chronoamperometric studies and density functional theory calculations …

We describe an enzymatic fuel cell (EFC) that can electrooxidize glucose completely. the EFC contains the hybrid Ni@Pt-CNT/OxOx bioanode, composed of a bimetallic composite catalyst (Ni@Pt-CNT) and the enzyme oxalate oxidase (OxOx), which can cleave carbon-carbon bonds. Ni@Pt-CNT/OxOx displayed 3-fold higher catalytic activity in the presence than in the absence of glucose (1.3 and 0.4 mA cm−2, respectively), indicating that Ni@Pt-CNT and OxOx acted synergistically. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that Ni@Pt-CNT/OxOx had higher charge transfer resistance and double layer capacitance than Ni@Pt-CNT. Long-term bulk electrolysis (18 h) revealed that the EFC operating with Ni@Pt-CNT/OxOx presented better current density and stability …

Carbon paper is one of the most common carbon electrode materials employed in electrochemical research due to its low cost, disposability, and controllable dimensions and scaling. Carbon paper is usually hand cut, and a variety of strategies are used to define electrode area. This procedure is tedious, imprecise, and inaccurate, yielding coefficients of variation in peak current output as high as 20%. Imprecision in hand-preparation translates directly to poor reproducibility in electrochemical data leading to challenges in directly comparing data across research groups and research fields. This work introduces an inexpensive and precise method to automatically cut and rapidly wax …

Alternaria leaf spot of cabbage, caused by the Alternaria brassicicola, affects leaves of cabbages and often results in head rots causing severe decline in yield. in this work, the effects of systemic and combination fungicides on A. brassicicola mycelia growth in vitro and disease severity in field trials were investigated. the results of in vitro evaluation revealed that both fungicides significantly inhibited (p < 0.05) the growth of A. brassicicola under in vitro conditions. However, metal Axyl-M 6% was less effective with 100 μg/mL having only 30 ± 3.5% inhibition. on the other hand, 100 μg/mL of mancozeb 63% + carbendazim 12% had 94 ± 3.5% growth inhibition of A. brassicicola, respectively, under the same conditions. Dose-response analysis of the efficacy of the two fungicides showed that the LC50 of metal Axyl-M 6% and mancozeb 63% + carbendazim 12% were 125.52 ppm and 57.22 ppm, respectively, indicating the superiority of combination fungicide over systemic fungicide alone. Field studies showed that while manure type significantly impacted on biomass production (p < 0.001), it did not significantly affect disease severity. on the other hand, the frequency of fungicide application impacted on disease severity, with biweekly application leading to a significant reduction in disease severity after 10 weeks.

One of the central roles in the design, development, and application advances in mediator-Based microbial electrochemical systems, such as microbial fuel cells (MFCs), is the establishment of efficient and successful communication between conductive electrode surfaces and microorganisms via modes of extracellular electron transfer (EET). Most microbial-Based systems require the use of artificial electroactive mediators in order to facilitate and/or enhance electron transfer. Our previous work established an exogenous phenazine-Based library as a mediator system to enable EET from the model microorganism Escherichia coli as a promising biotechnological host. However, the addition of exogenous mediators to a microbial electrochemical system has …

EAGSL) is an extremophile that was isolated from the Great Salt Lake (UT, USA) in 2017, and this strain has since been the focus of promising research in the field of microbial electrochemistry. Namely, S. EAGSL is an organism with both halotolerance and electroactivity, giving this microbe the unique ability to bridge the gap between power output and halotolerance in microbial fuel cells. While studying the genome, a biosynthetic gene for ectoine was identified. Ectoine is an osmolyte that is deemed a value-added chemical due to its ability to stabilize proteins and other biomolecules in …

The use of nanoparticles in agrichemical formula and food products as additives has increased their chances of accumulation in humans via oral intake. Due to their potential toxicity, it is critical to understand their fate and distribution following oral intake. Cerium oxide nanoparticle (CeO2NP) is commonly used in agriculture and is highly stable in the environment. as such, it has been used as a model chemical to investigate nanoparticle's distribution and clearance. based on their estimated human exposure levels, 0.15–0.75 mg/kg body weight/day of CeO2NPs with different sizes and surface charges (30–50 nm with negative charge and <25 >nm with positive …

Transition metal catalysis hinges on the formation of metal-carbon bonds during catalytic cycles. the stability and reactivity of these bonds are what determine product chemo-, regio-, and enantioselectivity. the advent of electro synthetic methodologies has placed the current understanding of these metal-alkyl bonds into a new environment of charged species and electrochemically induced reactivity. in this paper, we explore the often-neglected impact of supporting electrolyte on homogeneous electrocatalytic mechanisms using the catalytic reduction of benzyl chlorides via Co and Fe tetraphenyl porphyrins as a model reaction. the mechanism of this reaction is confirmed to proceed through the formation of the …

Repeated exposure to low-level blast overpressures can produce biological changes and clinical sequelae that resemble mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). While recent efforts have revealed several protein biomarkers for axonal injury during repetitive blast exposure, this study aims to explore potential small molecule biomarkers of brain injury during repeated blast exposure. This study evaluated a panel of ten small molecule metabolites involved in neurotransmission, oxidative stress, and energy metabolism in the urine and serum of military personnel (n = 27) conducting breacher training with repeated exposure to low-level blasts. The metabolites were analyzed using HPLC—tandem mass spectrometry, and the Wilcoxon …
