Geopolymer composite foams reinforced with refractory filler: The effect of curing regime on microstructure, porosity and thermomechanical properties

Porous geopolymers with sustainable dimensional stability at high temperatures represent a noteworthy challenge for the development of thermomechanical, reliable and multifunctional composites. This study reports on the porosity formation of refractory-reinforced geopolymer paste via hydrogen peroxide decomposition. Reinforcing the slurry with ceramic chamotte and cordierite increases the apparent viscosity more than eight times in the interval to 100 s−1 retaining a pseudoplastic behavior. Cordierite particles increase the plastic viscosity at 6 Pa s and yield stress above 28 Pa. Surprisingly, the particulate ceramic filler acts as a porosity-modifier thereby reducing the mesoporosity region. Microstructural and porosity behavior was studied via digital microscopy, SEM, MIP and micro-CT. The wrinkled morphology of ceramics significantly affects the macroporosity formation in the region of 100 μm reaching a total porosity of ∼60 vol%. The presence of large pores in the macro region and the high distribution of interconnected porosity in ceramics-reinforced composite foams resulted in compressive strengths ranging from 2 to 10 MPa. The effect of curing rate on porosity was most evident in the cordierite reinforcement which led to the occurrence of large interconnected pores. Based on thermomechanical analysis, the ceramic-reinforced foams show high dimensional stability with a reduction in total shrinkage to −0.71 % at 850 °C. These results may foster further developments of innovative routes for the synthesis of geopolymer composite foams for widespread technological applications.

A hierarchical porous N-doped carbon material as catalyst derived from the folic acid-Zn/KBr hydrogel: Reaction network and kinetics and mechanism for the oxidation of furfural to maleic acid

A novel hydrogel (named FA-Zn/KBr) was prepared, by taking advantage of the hydrogen-bonding and π-π stacking interactions between the pterin heterocycles of the folic acid (FA) molecules. The hydrogel is composed of highly dispersed KBr, coordinated zinc ions, and stacked arrays of folate tetramers. Due to the presence of KBr, a hierarchical porous nitrogen-doped carbon (PNC-800) material with a specific surface area 2807.9 m2/g can be formed through the calcination of the FA-Zn/KBr xerogel under N2. PNC-800 is used to catalyze the oxidation of furfural to maleic acid in the presence of H2O2. Representative nine reactions constitute the reaction network. The reaction rate constants and apparent activation energy were obtained for each reaction. Based on the kinetics parameters, the simulated results are in good agreement with the experimental data. The mechanism of the reaction catalyzed by PNC-800 is proposed based on ample experimental evidence. The graphitic nitrogen species in PNC-800 are the active sites. PNC-800 catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to generate hydroxyl radical (HȮ), which oxidizes furfural to furfural radical, and the furfural radical is subsequently converted to 5-hydroxy-furan-2(5H)-one (HFONE). The conversion of furfural to maleic acid via the formation of HFONE is the main reaction pathway. In addition, the hierarchical porous structure with a high specific surface area facilitates the interaction of reactant with the active sites. PNC-800 has been shown an excellent catalytic activity for the production of maleic acid from furfural. For the oxidation of 1000 mM furfural using 50 mg PNC-800 at 80 °C within 9 h, the conversion of furfural is 100 % with a maleic acid yield 67.5 %.

A New Fe2O3-Graphene-Hydrazine Sulphate Nanocomposite as Anode Material with Enhanced Electrocatalytic Activity in an H2O2 Fuel Cell

In the present study, synthesis of various phases of iron oxide was carried out by simple combustion method. The synthesized iron oxides and their composites with graphene and hydrazine sulphate are investigated as electrocatalytic materials for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) fuel cells. The activity was seen to be dependent on the phase composition, surface features and electrical properties which was altered due to the use of the different amount of oxalic acid as one of the precursors during the synthesis. The catalysts which are more active for decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, showed lower electrocatalytic activity. A significantly improved electrocatalytic performance is obtained when a nanocomposite electrocatalyst is prepared using iron oxide, graphene and hydrazine sulphate.

Influence of organic and inorganic fillers on the photoaging behavior of polyolefins

The use of fillers has become a common approach of improving the performance of polymer composites. In this study, the photooxidation activity and radiation absorption phenomena of silica, cellulose and carbon black, which differ in morphology (shape, particle size), structure, coloration and degree of dispersion, were investigated. Ethylene-norbornene copolymer was selected as the polymer matrix because it is an ideal transparent medium for studying aging processes. Samples were subjected to accelerated UV (340 nm) and solar (315–1400 nm) aging tests in special chambers for 300, 500, 700 and 900 h. The obtained results demonstrated that composite filled with carbon black exhibited the highest photostability and retained its functional properties; after 900 h of exposure to radiation, its aging factor value was still close to 1. It was observed that carbon black limits the penetration of radiation by absorbing it. Moreover, its role against photooxidation can be considered in terms of antioxidant activity, probably through the catalytic decomposition of peroxides and reaction with free radicals. Completely different aging behavior was noted for composites containing silica and cellulose, which lost their performance properties. This could be related to their weaker dispersion in the polymer matrix and greater susceptibility to the oxidation process, which was confirmed by FTIR analysis.

GAS-PHASE OXIDATION OF 2-PICOLINE BY “GREEN OXIDIZERS” H2O2 AND N2O

This communication presents the results of studies of coherently synchronized reactions of 2-picoline oxidation with hydrogen peroxide and nitrous oxide (I) in the gas phase. Optimal conditions for obtaining target products in these reactions are revealed. The influence of the process parameters on the value of the determinant in the reactions: dealcodimerization of 2-picoline with hydrogen peroxide and dimerization of 2-picoline with nitrous oxide (I) is shown. Calculated in the reaction of deal-codimerization of 2-picoline with hydrogen peroxide, the determinant of chemical conjugation has a value of D = 0.17 under optimal conditions, which indicates the induced character of dealcodimerization of 2-picoline. Based on this value, a quantitative assessment of the influence of the primary reaction (decomposition of hydrogen peroxide) on the secondary one (dealcodimerization of 2-picoline) was given. In the reaction of dimerization of 2-picoline with nitrous oxide (I), the chemical conjugation determinant has, under optimal conditions, a value of D = 0.54, which, according to the chemical interference scale, is in the region of chemical conjugation, when the primary reaction (the decomposition of nitrous oxide (I)) accelerates the secondary reaction (dimerization of 2-picoline)

NiCo-LDH Hollow Nanocage Oxygen Evolution Reaction Promotes Luminol Electrochemiluminescence.

Conventional luminol co-reactant electrochemiluminescence (ECL) systems suffer from low stability and accuracy due to factors such as the ease of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and inefficient generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from dissolved oxygen. Inspired by the luminol ECL mechanism mediated by oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) hollow nanocages with hollow structure and defect state are used as co-reaction promoters to enhance the ECL emission from the luminol-H2 O system. Thanks to the hollow structure and defect state, NiCo-LDH hollow nanocages show excellent OER catalytic activity, which can stabilize and efficiently produce ROS and enhance the ECL emission. Additionally, mechanistic exploration suggests that the ROS involved in the co-reaction of the luminol-H2 O system are derived from the OER reaction process, and there is a positive correlation between ECL intensity and the OER catalytic activity of the co-reaction promoter. The selection of catalysts with excellent OER catalytic activity is a key factor in improving ECL emission. Finally, a dual-mode immunosensor is constructed for the detection and analysis of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) based on the promoting effect of NiCo-LDH hollow nanocages on the luminol-H2 O ECL system.

Pt@AuNF nanozyme and horseradish peroxidase-based lateral flow immunoassay dual enzymes signal amplification strategy for sensitive detection of zearalenone

Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has been employed extensively for the rapid, accurate, and portable detection of foodborne toxins. Here, the platinum gold nanoflower core-shell (Pt@AuNF) nanozyme with excellent optical properties, good catalytic ability and controllable reaction conditions were prepared to effectively improve the performance of lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) strips. The Pt@AuNF nanozyme and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) combined with monoclonal antibody were used as signal probes based on the dual enzymes catalytic signal amplification strategy to detect Zearalenone sensitively. Dual enzymes catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into hydroxyl radicals, and under the influence of hydroxyl radicals, colorless 3,3′,5,5′ -tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is oxidized to blue ox-TMB, which is superimposed on the strips for signal amplification to broaden the detection range. The limit of detection (LOD) of the Pt@AuNF-HRP labeled LFIA strips after signal amplification was 0.052 ng/mL, and the detection range was 0.052–7.21 ng/mL. Compared with the Pt@AuNF labeled strips, while reducing the probes amount by half to achieve antibody conservation, the detection range was expanded by 5-fold based on achieving improved sensitivity. The study provided a meaningful reference for expanding the detection range based on immunoassay.

The Extraction of Copper from Chalcopyrite Concentrate with Hydrogen Peroxide in Sulfuric Acid Solution

Research on chalcopyrite leaching represents a great challenge, given its importance as one of the most abundant copper minerals and its significant role in global copper extraction. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different parameters on chalcopyrite leaching by hydrogen peroxide as a strong oxidizing reagent in sulfuric acid solution. A series of leaching tests were carried out to investigate the effect of the solid/liquid ratio, stirring speed, temperature, oxidant and acid concentrations, and lixiviant dosing method on copper extraction from chalcopyrite concentrate. The catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide occurred in the investigated leaching system, as reflected in the obtained metal extraction values. Copper extraction was increased in the first 60 min of the reaction, after which it essentially ceased. The maximum final copper extraction of 64.5% was attained with 3.0 mol/L H2O2 in 3.0 mol/L H2SO4 at a temperature of 40 °C after 120 min of reaction. Due to the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the examined leaching system, the leaching experiment was performed with the periodic addition of lixiviant at specific time intervals as well. The dissolution process was described by the first-order kinetics equation with an apparent activation energy of ~39 kJ/mol. Finally, XRD and SEM-EDS analyses were used to characterize the leached residue, and the results showed that the formation of elemental sulfur on the chalcopyrite surface affected the dissolution process.

Atomic insights into hydrogen peroxide decomposition on the surface of pure and pre-treated silver: A reactive molecular dynamics simulation study

Based on ReaxFF molecular dynamics simulation, H2O2 decomposition on pure and pre-treated silver catalyst is studied at a microscopic level. The pretreatment undergoes a surface annealing with redundant H2O2 on top of catalyst. The simulation results indicate that H2O2 decomposition can be drastically accelerated by elevating temperature. The extent of decomposition is closely related to bond, hydrogen bond, and potential energy of simulation system. It is found that H2O2 decomposition follows a four-stage HOOH bond break mechanism while it needs three times longer for pre-treated silver catalyst than pure silver catalyst. The activation energy of pre-treated silver catalyst is about 50 % lower than pure silver catalyst. However, the overall reaction rate of pre-treated silver catalyst is about an order of magnitude slower than pure silver catalyst, which owes to the much smaller pre-factor. It is believed that although the pretreatment causes silver oxide to be formed on the surface, it leads to more hydrogen and oxygen atoms deposited so that most active sites for catalytic reaction are blocked for further decomposition. This may be helpful to understand the inherent mechanism of H2O2 decomposition on silver-based catalyst and provide instructional advice for further catalyst modification design.

Phosphorus vacancy-rich FeP@Al2O3 catalyze hydrogen peroxide decomposition for wastewater purification: Catalytic mechanism and performance evaluation

In this work, phosphorus vacancies-rich (PV-rich) FeP@Al2O3 spheres with 4–6 mm were prepared by FeSO4 as initial material and porous Al2O3 as carrier. The formation of FeP@Al2O3 experienced oxidation, polymerization, load, transformation and phosphorization processes. PV-rich FeP@Al2O3 catalyst not only overcame the shortcomings of powder catalyst, such as easy loss and difficult recovery after reaction, but also exhibited high catalytic activity for the activation of H2O2 and the degradation of antibiotics and dyes. The high removal efficiencies were remained over 9 cycles. Mechanism research indicated that both Fe and P could activate H2O2 to generate •OH. Experimental and density functional theory calculation results showed that the formation of PVs allowed more electrons to be transferred to O2 to produce O2•−. The •OH and O2•− can effectively degrade pollutants in a batch reactor and a continuous degradation reactor. This study provided an essential reference for the rational design of high-performance Fenton-like catalyst to degrade organic wastewaters.

Improved DC Dielectric Performance of Cross-Linked Polyethylene Modified by Free Radical-Initiated Grafting BMIE.

To enhance the direct current (DC) dielectric properties of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) for high-voltage (HV) cable insulation, the polyethylene molecular chain is modified by grafting bismaleimide ethane (BMIE), which creates carrier deep traps within the polymer material. Compared to the traditional modified molecule maleic anhydride (MAH), BMIE has a significantly higher boiling point than the production temperature of XLPE. Additionally, it does not release bubbles during the production process and, thus, preserves the dielectric properties. It was proved by infrared spectroscopy and a gel content test that BMIE was successfully grafted onto the polyethylene molecular chain and had no effect on the crosslinking degree of the polymer while reducing the amount of crosslinker, thereby reducing the influence of the by-products of the decomposition of dicumene peroxide (DCP) on the electrical resistance of polymers. The analysis of DC breakdown field strength, current density, and space charge distribution at various temperatures demonstrates that grafting BMIE can greatly enhance the dielectric properties of insulation. Polar groups in the BMIE molecule create deep trap energy levels in XLPE-g-BMIE, and these trap energy levels contribute to the formation of a charged layer near the electrode, which is shielded by Coulomb potential. As a result, the charge injection barrier increases. Additionally, the presence of these polar groups reduces the mobility of charge carriers through trap-carrier scattering, effectively suppressing the accumulation of space charge within the material. First-principle calculations also confirm that bound states can be introduced as carrier traps by grafting BMIE onto polyethylene molecules. The agreement between experimental results and simulation calculations indicates that grafting BMIE to enhance the dielectric properties of polyethylene is a new and feasible research direction in the exploitation of materials for HVDC cables.

Tumor Microenvironment-Activated Nanocomposite for Self-Amplifying Chemodynamic/Starvation Therapy Enhanced IDO-Blockade Tumor Immunotherapy.

Disrupting intracellular redox homeostasis combined with immune checkpoint blockade therapy is considered as an effective way to accelerate tumor cell death. However, suppressed tumor immune microenvironment and lower cargo delivery restrict the efficiency of tumor therapy. In this study, a multifunctional tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive nanocomposite is constructed using manganese tetroxide (Mn3 O4 )-decorated disulfide-bond-incorporated dendritic mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (DMONs) to co-deliver indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitor Epacadostat (IDOi) and glucose oxidase (GOx) following modification with polyethylene glycol. Owing to the responsiveness of Mn3 O4 -decorated DMONs to the mildly acidic and glutathione (GSH) overexpressed TME, the nanocomposite can rapidly decompose and release inner contents, thus substantially improving the cargo release ability. Mn3 O4 can effectively catalyze hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) decomposition to generate oxygen, enhance the ability of GOx to consume glucose to produce H2 O2 , and further promote the generation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) by Mn2+ . Furthermore, Mn2+ -mediated GSH depletion and the production of •OH can disrupt intracellular redox homeostasis, contributing to immunogenic cell death. Simultaneously, IDOi can inhibit IDO to reverse inhibited immune response. The results show that self-amplifying chemodynamic/starvation therapy combined IDO-blockade immunotherapy synergistically inhibits tumor growth and metastasis in vivo.

Proteomic analysis of the faba bean-wheat intercropping system in controlling the occurrence of faba bean fusarium wilt due to stress caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fabae and benzoic acid

BackgroundIn faba bean, continuous cropping severely affects plant growth and increases the incidence of fusarium wilt due to the accumulation of pathogens and autotoxic substances. The intercropping of faba bean and wheat is commonly used to alleviate the occurrence of fusarium wilt in the faba bean.ObjectiveTo investigate the role of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Fabae(FOF) and benzoic acid in the occurrence of faba bean fusarium wilt and unravel the potential mechanism of intercropping in alleviating its occurrence.MethodsHydroponic experiment was carried out using monocropping faba bean (M) and intercropping faba bean and wheat (I) patterns under FOF alone stress (M + F, I + F), FOF and benzoic acid double stress (M + F + B, I + F + B). The growth of faba bean seedlings under FOF and benzoic acid dual stresses were analyzed as well as the protein expression profile of monocropping and intercropping faba bean roots.ResultUnder FOF stress, the growth of faba bean seedlings was inhibited, and the inhibitory effect was enhanced under the dual stress of FOF and benzoic acid. However, faba bean-wheat intercropping alleviated the inhibitory effect of FOF and benzoic acid on faba bean growth. In faba bean, the up-regulated protein was involved in different functions, such as redox, hydrogen peroxide decomposition, and metabolic processes under FOF stress (M + F, I + F) compared to the control. Compared with FOF stress (M + F, I + F), under the dual stress of FOF and benzoic acid (M + F + B, I + F + B), the up-regulated protein in faba bean were involved in intracellular redox balance, defense, and maintenance of cell integrity. Compared with monocropping (M, M + F, M + F + B), the up-regulated protein function of intercropping(I, I + F, I + F + B) was mainly involved in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, redox balance, biological carbon fixation of photosynthesis, and so on. KEGG enrichment analysis results showed that intercropping increased ethylene and jasmonic acid synthesis and other related pathways to improve resistance against fusarium wilt in the faba bean.ConclusionThe growth of faba bean was inhibited under FOF stress and the inhibitory effect was enhanced under the dual stress of FOF and benzoic acid, which promoted the occurrence of faba bean fusarium wilt. This might be due to the down-regulation of energy and cytoplasmic matrix proteins under FOF and benzoic acid stress. The faba bean wheat intercropping alleviated the inhibition of FOF and benzoic acid stress by up-regulating the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, redox homeostasis, photosynthetic carbon fixation, and other related proteins. Besides, it also promoted the biosynthesis of ethylene, and jasmonic acid, improved the resistance of faba bean plants, and alleviated the occurrence of faba bean fusarium wilt. This provides a theoretical basis for the determination of jasmonic acid and ethylene content.

A Detailed Insight into the Effects of Morphologies of Cerium Oxide on Fenton-like Reactions for Different Applications.

As an exceptional Fenton-like reagent, cerium oxide (CeO2 ) finds applications in biomedical science and organic pollutants treatment. The Fenton-like reaction catalyzed by CeO2 typically encompasses two distinct processes: one resembling the classical Fenton reaction, wherein cerium (Ce3+ ) triggers the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) to yield reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the other involves the complexation of H2 O2 on the Ce3+ surface, leading to the formation of peroxides. However, the influence of diverse CeO2 morphologies on these two reaction pathways has not been comprehensively explored. In this study, CeO2 exhibiting three typical morphologies, rods, cubes, and spheres, were prepared. The generation of ROS and peroxides was evaluated using the 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation reaction and the reduction current of H2 O2 , respectively. Moreover, the impacts of pH variations and CeO2 /H2 O2 concentrations on the production and conversion of these two reaction products were investigated. To corroborate the distinctions between the resultant products and their applicability, apoptosis assays and acid orange 7 (AO7) degradation analyses were performed. Notably, CeO2 rods exhibited the highest proportion of Ce3+ , predominantly engaging in complexation with H2 O2 to foster peroxide formation, thereby facilitating the robust degradation of AO7. However, the generated peroxides appeared to occupy Ce3+ sites, thereby impeding the H2 O2 decomposition process. Conversely, Ce3+ species on the surface of CeO2 cubes were primarily involved in H2 O2 decomposition, leading to heightened ROS production, and thus showcasing substantial potential for damaging A549 tumor cells. It is worth noting that the ability of these Ce3+ species to form peroxides through complexation with H2 O2 was comparatively reduced. In summation, this study sheds light on the intricate interplay between distinct CeO2 morphologies and their divergent impacts on Fenton-like reactions. These findings expand our comprehension of the influences on its reactivity of CeO2 morphologies and open new insights for applications in diverse domains, from organic dye degradation to tumor therapy.

Photothermal enhanced pressure sensing based on multifunctional Nb2C MXene for portable detection of interleukin-6

Herein, a sensitive and portable pressure-based biosensor was fabricated to accurately assess maternal plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels for achieving the timely monitoring of preeclampsia. Initially, IL-6 modified Nb2C MXene with excellent physicochemical properties as a multi-functional and powerful biological probe was introduced into the paper-based analytical device via competitive-type immunoassay. As expected, the outstanding peroxidase-like performance of Nb2C MXene triggered the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and produced the pressure signal. More interestingly, the gas production reaction could be considerably accelerated under the irradiation of 808 nm near-infrared light resulted from the brilliant photothermal characteristic and black-body effect of Nb2C MXene, which induced a significantly enhanced pressure change. Therefore, the synergistic activation and sensitization capabilities of Nb2C MXene on pressure signals make the sensing platform demonstrate satisfactory analytical performances for IL-6 detection including wide linear range from 10−5 to 1 ng/mL, low detection limit of 3.33 × 10−6 ng/mL, high selectivity, good recovery and acceptable repeatability. Evidently, this ingenious strategy not only enriches the application scenarios of MXene, but also provides valuable guidance for developing intelligent and convenient in situ analytical device.

An ultrahigh-resolution multicolor sensing platform via target-induced etching of gold nanorods for multi-colorimetric analysis of trace silver ions

Heavy metal ion pollution is a pressing global concern with detrimental effects on the environment and human health. To address this issue, we have developed an ultrahigh-resolution multicolor sensing platform for the specific detection of silver ions (Ag(I)). The method employs the nanozyme of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) as a link to control the etching of gold nanorods (AuNRs). Through specific binding with Ag(I), the PtNPs hinder the catalase-like activity responsible for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) decomposition. This inhibition enables the Fenton reaction between H2O2 and ferrous ions, generating highly oxidizing hydroxyl free radicals (·OH). The resulting etching of AuNRs induces a blue-shift in their local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) absorption spectra. The degree of blue-shift is directly proportional to the Ag(I) concentration, facilitating trace-level detection. Furthermore, the aspect ratio change of the AuNRs yields distinguishable colors. In contrast to common multicolor sensors relying on nanozyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) activity, which exhibits an inverse relationship between AuNR etching and target concentration, our approach demonstrates a proportional response. This unique characteristic enables ultrahigh-resolution multicolor detection of Ag(I) visible to the naked eye. We anticipate that this innovative sensing platform will pave the way for nanosensor development in environmental monitoring and food safety detection.

Metal-organic framework composite Mn/Fe-MOF@Pd with peroxidase-like activities for sensitive colorimetric detection of hydroquinone

The construction of highly sensitive detection methods for hydroquinone (HQ) in environment and cosmetics is of great significance for environmental protection and human health. In this work, a novel detection method for HQ was successfully developed by constructing a metal-organic framework mimic enzyme colorimetric sensor (Mn/Fe-MOF@Pd1.0) with excellent peroxidase-like activity, which was synthesized by doping manganese ions into Fe-MOF by introducing bimetallic active centers, thereby improving the peroxidase-like activity of Fe-MOF, and the acid resistance and stability of Mn/Fe-MOF were improved by supporting palladium (Pd NPs). It is proven that Mn/Fe-MOF@Pd1.0 promoted the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to generate active species, therefore, oxidized chromogenic substrate discoloration. On this basis, the detection of HQ based on the Mn/Fe-MOF@Pd1.0 colorimetric sensor was constructed, in which the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.09 μM in the linear range of 0.3–30 μM. Furthermore, Mn/Fe-MOF@Pd1.0 was successfully used for detecting HQ in hydroquinone whitening cream and actual water samples. The successful synthesis of Mn/Fe-MOF@Pd1.0 may provide new insights for further study of the enzyme-like activity of metal-organic framework composites, and the constructed facile and sensitive sensor system could broaden the application prospects of HQ detection.
