Published: February 2008

Molecularly imprinted nanoparticles were encapsulated into polymer nanofibers with a simple electrospinning method. The composite nanofibers form non-woven mats that can be used as affinity membrane to greatly simplify solid phase extraction of drug residues in analytical samples. Upward 100% of propranolol-imprinted nanoparticles can be easily encapsulated into poly(ethylene terephthalate) nanofibers, ensuring the composite materials to have a high specific binding capacity. As confirmed by radioligand binding analysis, the specific binding sites in the composite materials remain easily accessible and are chiral-selective. Using the new composite nanofiber mats as solid phase extraction materials, trace amount of propranolol (1 ng mL(-1)) in tap water can be easily detected after a simple sample preparation. As validated in this study, there is no problem of template leakage from the composite nanofibers. Without the solid phase extraction, the existence of propranolol residues in water cannot be confirmed with even tandem HPLC-MS/MS analysis.

Significant progress has been achieved with diversity of short peptide supramolecular assemblies. However, their programmable phase modulation by single stimulus remains a great challenge. Herein, we demonstrate a dipeptide supramolecular system undergoes sequentially coupled phase transitions upon hydrogen bonding association and dissociation triggered by a single fatty acid.

Electroanalytical Chemistry Research Laboratory, Faculty of Sciences, Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University, P.O. Box: 53714-161, Tabriz, Iran. Electronic address:

Food and water contamination with heavy metals is still a significant public health issue, necessitating development of simple and rapid analytical methods. Herein, a novel electro-assisted solid-phase microextraction (EA-SPME) method was developed to determine mercury (Hg(II)) in rice and water samples. A novel SPME-fiber coating was prepared through electrosynthesis of NiCo-layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) onto MXene deposited onto the graphenized pencil fiber.

The Critical Isomerization Effect of Core Bromination on Nonfullerene Acceptors in Achieving High-Performance Organic Solar Cells with Low Energy Loss.

Adv Mater

December 2024

Beijing National Laboratory for Molecular Sciences, CAS Key Laboratory of Organic Solids and State Key Laboratory of Polymer Physics and Chemistry, Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, 100190, China.

Highly efficient nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) for organic solar cells (OSCs) with low energy loss (E) and favorable morphology are critical for breaking the efficiency bottleneck and achieving commercial applications of OSCs. In this work, quinoxaline-based NFAs are designed and synthesized using a synergistic isomerization and bromination approach. The π-expanded quinoxaline-fused core exhibits different bromination sites for isomeric NFAs, namely AQx-21 and AQx-22.

Organophosphate pesticides can cause long-term neurological damage to humans. There is an urgent need to develop a more sensitive and efficient method for detecting trace amounts of organophosphorus pesticides in orange juice, particularly in the presence of interfering substances. This study developed a dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE) method using amorphous UiO-66 (aUiO-66) as an adsorbent for the detection of four organophosphate pesticides (fenthion, profenofos, fensulfothion, and chlorpyrifos) in orange juice.

Comprehensive Optimization of Packing Parameters for Hydraulic-Packed Capillary Columns.

Rapid Commun Mass Spectrom

April 2025

Translational Research Institute of Brain and Brain-Like Intelligence, Shanghai Fourth People's Hospital, and Cancer Center, School of Medicine, Tongji University, Shanghai, China.

Rationale: The performance of the capillary column directly impacts the separation efficiency of complex sample in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based proteomics studies. The hydraulic packing system offers an effective solution by reducing packing time and expediting the preparation process of column preparation. However, its operational complexity and strict parameter regulation requirements hinder efficient application.
