This study presents a novel approach in coherent dye random laser (RL) generation by utilizing the special properties of Enteromorpha prolifera (EP) within a micro-glass tube configuration. The methodological simplicity of injecting a mixed solution of dye and EP into the tube at room temperature achieves a novel way of realizing the RL system, characterized by tunable random lasing thresholds contingent upon the concentration of EP. This tunability stems from the synergistic interplay between photon enhancement and fluorescent dye absorption facilitated by the unique nanoporous structure of EP, culminating in the attainment of a low lasing threshold of 21.7 μJ/mm 2 at an optimized EP concentration of 2 mg/mL. With an excess EP concentration, the nanoporous structure could absorb large amounts of dye, resulting in dye fluorescence reabsorption, and causing the threshold to increase. A power Fourier transition was performed to calculate the effective optical cavity of the RL system, depicting the process of the coherent RL generation. Furthermore, a comprehensive investigation into the emission stability of the RL system revealed remarkable consistency in emission intensity over a prolonged excitation duration of 20 min, underscoring the potential for integration with optoelectronic devices . The L-shape mask imaging of the RL provides high-quality images with low spatial coherence, paving a useful application for speckle-free imaging. These results offer an affordable approach to achieving high-quality and low-threshold RLs using novel biomaterials.

High level of aluminum content in Enteromorpha prolifera posed a growing threat to both its growth and human health. This study focused on exploring the factors, impacts, and process of removing aluminum from Enteromorpha prolifera using humic acid. The results showed that under experimental conditions of 0.0330 g·L−1 humic acid concentration, pH 3.80, 34 °C, and a duration of 40 min, the removal rate was up to 80.18%. The levels of major flavor components, proteins, and amino acids in Enteromorpha prolifera increased significantly after treatment, while polysaccharides and trace elements like calcium and magnesium decreased significantly. Infrared spectroscopy demonstrated that the main functional groups involved in binding with Al3+ during humic acid adsorption were hydroxyl, carboxyl, phenol, and other oxygen-containing groups. The adsorption process of Al3+ by humic acid was a spontaneous phenomenon divided into three key stages: fast adsorption, slow adsorption, and adsorption equilibrium, which resulted from both physical and chemical adsorption effects. This study provided a safe and efficient method in algae metal removal.

The mechanism of gas-phase products from pyrolysis of polysaccharides from Enteromorpha prolifera (PE) is researched. The sulfated polysaccharides are the most important polysaccharides in Enteromorpha prolifera . The molecular dynamics (MD) method is used to simulate the pyrolysis process of sulfated polysaccharides of Enteromorpha prolifera . Combined with the results of the pyrolysis simulations and density functional theory (DFT), rhamnose , glucuronic acid , glucose, and xylose are used as model compounds to estimate and calculate the reaction paths of hydrogen and carbon monoxide . In addition, fixed-bed pyrolysis experiments are performed with the above four monomers . The pyrolysis simulation results show that the pyrolysis process of sulfated polysaccharides is approximately divided into three stages: low-temperature, medium-temperature, and high-temperature stages. Gas-phase products are mainly produced in the high-temperature stage, and the main components of syngas are hydrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide. The simulation and experimental results show that pyrolysis of xylose is the most likely to generate hydrogen, followed by glucose, rhamnose, and glucuronic acid. The process of producing carbon monoxide from monomers goes through reactions such as dehydration, isomerization , C-C bond breakage, and decarbonylation . Moreover, the results of fixed-bed experiments indicate that when the four monomers are pyrolyzed individually, the highest proportions of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane in the gas-phase products are obtained from the pyrolysis of xylose, glucuronic acid, and rhamnose. When the four monomers are mixed and then pyrolyzed, the proportion of hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the obtained gas-phase products decreases, and the proportion of carbon dioxide increases.

In the present study, purification and characterization of enzymatic hydrolysates of polysaccharide from Enteromorpha prolifera (HPE) are described. HPE was sequentially purified by DEAE Cellulose-52 chromatography and Sephadex G-100 chromatography to afford three fractions, namely, PHPE1, PHPE2, and PHPE3. Molecular weights of these three fractions were measured to be 103, 45.4, and 9.8 kDa, respectively, using high performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC). The three fractions were evaluated for their antioxidant activities by determining their ability to scavenge 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl, and superoxide anion radicals. PHPE2 was found to possess the strongest scavenging ability. GC–MS analysis indicates that PHPE2 is mainly composed of mannose , xylose , and glucose.

In order to improve the bioactivities of the polysaccharide from Enteromorpha prolifera (PE), crude PE (Mw 1400 kDa) was degraded to low molecular weight polysaccharide (44 kDa) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide/ascorbic acid, followed by carboxymethylation. The reaction conditions for carboxymethylation of degraded polysaccharide (DPE) were optimized by Response Surface Methodology. The carboxymethyled degraded polysaccharide (CDPE) obtained under optimized conditions, with a degree of carboxymethylation of 0.849, was characterized by FT-IR and 13 C NMR. The molecular weight of CDPE was measured to be 53.7 kDa. CDPE was evaluated for its antioxidant activity by determining the ability to scavenge 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl and superoxide anion radicals, and by determining the ferric reducing power. The antioxidant activity of CDPE was found to be greatly improved in comparison with degraded polysaccharide (DPE) and crude polysaccharide from Enteromorpha prolifera (PE).

Enteromorpha prolifera bloom caused a series of environmental issues and deterioration due to its rapid growth and ability to grow in fresh or seawater. This study explores the utilization of Enteromorpha prolifera collected from southern portions of the Yellow Sea as a resource for electricity generation by air cathode microbial fuel cells (MFCs). The power density reached 1027 mW/m 2 with an initial hydrolysate concentration of 1,000 mg chemical oxygen demand (COD)/liter, while coulombic efficiencies and COD removal reached 69.1% and 76.1% respectively. For comparison, three monosaccharides (rhamnose, xylose and glucose) were also tested as the fuels in the anode solution, their power density, coulombic efficiencies and COD removal are almost at the same level. These results indicated that Enteromorpha prolifera might be suitable resources for electricity generation using the MFC technology.

In order to improve the antioxidant activity of polysaccharide derived from E nteromorpha prolifera (PEP), PEP was hydrolyzed to relatively low molecular weight polysaccharides in the presence of either pectinase or gluco-amylase. Response surface methodology was employed to optimize the hydrolysis conditions based on the polysaccharide degradation rate. Optimum hydrolysis for pectinase was found to be: enzyme concentration 9.36 U/mL, reaction temperature 56C and pH 4.45; for gluco-amylase, the optimum conditions were: enzyme concentration 14.20 U/mL, reaction temperature 49C and pH 4.48. The enzymatic hydrolysates of polysaccharide obtained under optimal conditions were evaluated for their antioxidant activities by determining their ability to scavenge 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, hydroxyl and superoxide anion radicals. The results indicate that the enzymatic hydrolysates of polysaccharide exhibited stronger free radical scavenging ability than nondegraded polysaccharide, while pectinase hydrolyzed polysaccharide was found to possess superior radical scavenging ability to that of gluco-amylase hydrolyzed polysaccharide. Practical Applications In order to fully utilize polysaccharide resources, an effective method to improve the antioxidant activity of E nteromorpha prolifera was established by enzymatic degradation. The hydrolysates obtained by this method may be used as ingredients of functional foods due to their antioxidant activity.

The large-scale blooming of Enteromorpha prolifera (EP) results in "green tide," triggering significant environmental issues . However, EP as algal biomass can be converted to syngas through fast pyrolysis . This research investigates the fast pyrolysis of modeled compounds of EP for syngas production . Rhamnose (Rha), glucuronic acid (GlcA), aspartic acid (Asp), glutamic acid (Glu), and alanine (Ala) are used as the model compounds. This study employs experiments and simulations on fast pyrolysis processes . The results reveal that polysaccharide sulfate (PS) undergoes various reactions, including glycosidic bond cleavage, pyran ring opening, dehydration, and C-C bond cleavage. Simultaneously, amino acids experience dehydration, deamination, decarboxylation , and decarboxylation reactions. Fast co-pyrolysis of modeled compounds of EP, the monosaccharides and uronic acid molecules produced by PS pyrolysis also attack each other with amino acid molecules to produce other substances. The pyrolysis gas obtained from the model compounds of PS exhibits the highest CO content. Notably, amino acids possess a superior capability to produce H 2 compared with PS. With the fast co-pyrolysis of EP model compounds, the CO 2 content increases while the CO content decreases. This study provides a theoretical basis for the fast pyrolysis of EP to produce syngas.

Cadmium emission from industrial processes is causing serious environmental problems, and biochar adsorption is an effective approach to control the cadmium content in wastewater. Producing biochar from Enteromorpha prolifera could not only provide sustainable biochar resource, but also promisingly solve the algae bloom problem worldwide. This work prepared Enteromorpha prolifera biochar (EPB) via slow pyrolysis method, the effect of different KOH to EPB mass ratios and different influencing parameters were also studied. Characterizations including SEM-EDS, FTIR and elemental analysis were comprehensively conducted to explore the physicochemical properties of EPB. The results showed that EPB activated by KOH with an impregnation ratio of 1:2 had the optimal cadmium removal performance, where a removal efficiency of 99.8% was obtained. Electrostatic interaction was a major adsorption mechanism. The isotherm analysis showed that Langmuir isotherm model could better fit the adsorption data. As a result, KOH activated EPB presented satisfactory features as a promising cadmium adsorbent with multiple environmental benefits.

Enteromorpha, as a waste from marine pollution, brings great pressure to environmental governance every year, especially for China. Under the premise of a shortage of industrial materials, taking appropriate measures can turn waste into wealth, which will benefit us a lot. In this work, a bio-based reinforcing-type flame retardant based on Enteromorpha is designed. The designed Enteromorpha-based flame retardant system (AEG) mainly focuses on the reinforcing and flame retardant effects on ethylene-propylene-diene tripolymer (EPDM). For the AEG system, ammonium polyphosphate (APP) serves as both the acid source and the gas source; the simple hybrid material (GN) produced by loading graphene (GE) and Enteromorpha (EN) using tannic acid (TA) as a regulator serves as an acid source and a carbonizing source. The results show that when 40 phr AEG is added, the LOI of EPDM/AEG40 reaches 32.5% and the UL-94 reaches the V-0 level. The PHRR and THR values of EPDM/AEG40 are 325.9 kW/m2and 117.6 MJ/m2, respectively, with decrements of 67.3% and 29.7%, respectively, compared with the results of neat EPDM composite. Especially, the TSP and TSR values of EPDM/AEG40 are reduced from 15.2 m2of neat EPDM to 9.9 m2with a decrement of 34.9% and reduced from 1715.2 m2/m2of neat EPDM to 1124.5 m2/m2with a decrement of 34.4%, indicating that AEG is effective in flame retardancy and smoke suppression. Meanwhile, the tensile strength and tear strength of EPDM/AEG composites are much higher than neat EPDM, therefore, with the future development of innovate reinforcing-type flame-retardant Enteromorpha, the application of Enteromorpha in the polymer flame-retardant field will surely usher in bright development.Keywords:Enteromorpha;reinforcing;flame retardant

Although the rapid advances of wireless technologies and electronic devices largely improve the quality of life, electromagnetic (EM) pollution increases the risk of exposure to EM radiation. Developing high-efficiency absorbers with a rational structure and wideband characteristics is of great significance to eliminate radiation pollution. Herein, Enteromorpha prolifera derived biochar which would provide a suitable surface and multiple polarizations has been prepared as the supporter to anchor nanoparticles. In addition, theoretical simulation results further confirm that radar wave scattering could be largely inhibited after coating with absorbing materials. As a result, the hybrid absorbers achieve remarkable EM absorption properties attributed to the synergistic magnetic–dielectric loss. Elaborate compositional and structural characterization studies indicate that the absorber has a large specific area and numerous polarization centers, which would make full use of waste biomass as light weight and broadband high-performance EM absorption materials.
