A novel method combining molecular imprinting and SPE was developed in a capillary column for the determination of auramine O in shrimp. The capillary monolithic column was prepared by UV-initiated in situ polymerization, using auramine O as template and methacrylic acid and ethylene dimethacrylate as functional monomer and cross-linker, respectively. The properties of the prepared capillary monolithic column were investigated under the optimized conditions coupled with HPLC, and then the morphologies of the inner polymers were characterized by SEM. The calibration curve was expressed as A = 103 C + 19.8 ( r = 0.9992) with a linear range of 0.25–25.0 μg/mL, and the recoveries of auramine O at different concentrations in shrimp ranged from 90.5 to 92.4% with RSDs ranging from 2.1 to 4.4%. The capacities of the molecularly imprinted polymer and nonimprinted polymer columns were 0.722 and 0.147 μg/mg, respectively, and the LOD (S/N = 3) of auramine O in shrimp was 17.85 μg/kg. Under the selected conditions, the enrichment factors obtained were higher than 70-fold. The results indicate that the prepared molecularly imprinted capillary monolithic column was reliable and applicable to the analysis of auramine O in shrimp.

Photo-responsive block copolymer mPEG-b-poly(Tyr)-g-NB was prepared by introduction of o -nitrobenzyl ester group into the side chain of amphiphilic poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly( α -hydroxy acids) (mPEG-b-poly(Tyr)) containing pendent alkynyl group via copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. The amphiphilic mPEG-b-poly(Tyr) was synthesized via the ring-opening polymerization of O -carboxyanhydrides, with monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) as macroinitiator. The molecular structure, self-assembly, and photo-controlled release of the obtained mPEG-b-poly(Tyr)-g-NB were thoroughly investigated. mPEG-b-poly(Tyr)-g-NB could self-assemble into spherical micelles in water and showed disassembly under UV light irradiation, which was demonstrated by means of UV-vis spectroscopy, scan electron microscopes, and dynamic light scattering measurement. Fluorescence emission measurements demonstrated that Nile red, encapsulated by micelles, can be released upon UV irradiation. This study provides a convenient way to construct smart poly( α -hydroxy acids)-based nanocarriers for controlled release of hydrophobic drugs. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

This study aims to achieve co-delivery of paeoniflorin (PF) and butyric acid (BA) to the colon through Eudragit S100 (EUS100)-coated halloysite nanotube/o-butyryl chitosan microspheres (EUS100-HNT-BUCHNPs). O-butyrylated chitosan (BUCH) was prepared by the acylation reaction of chitosan (CH) and butyric anhydride with methane sulfonic acid as a catalyst. PF-loaded halloysite nanotube/o-butyrylated chitosan microspheres (HNT-BUCHNPs) were prepared by emulsion crosslinking with glutaraldehyde as the crosslinking agent and then coated with EUS100 using the emulsion solvent evaporation method. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy results indicated the presence of EUS100 coating on the surface of HNT-BUCHNPs. In vitro release studies demonstrated that the EUS100 coating effectively prevented the release of PF and BA at pH 1.2, while the halloysite nanotube slowed down PF release at pH 6.8. Sequential release experiments in different pH media showed lower release of PF and BA at pH 1.2 and pH 6.8, and higher release at pH 7.4, reaching approximately 80 % and 85 %, respectively. Gastrointestinal tract retention studies in mice confirmed that EUS100-HNT-BUCHNPs reduced the release of PF and BA in the upper digestive tract, facilitating delivery to the colon. In vivo and in vitro results indicated efficient transport of PF and BA to the colon, suggesting the potential of EUS100-HNT-BUCHNPs as colon-targeted carriers for PF and BA.

Understanding the microenvironment structure-activity relationship of singlet-atom catalysts (SACs) is imperative for the development of high-performance photocatalytic devices. However, the challenge remains to finely regulate the coordination microenvironment of SACs. Herein, single-atom N x ─Cu─O 4-x ( x = 1–4) photocatalysts with different coordination environments are successfully prepared based on pre-design reticular supramolecular covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for direct photocatalytic 1 O 2 production from O 2 . The results show that the high activity of Cu SACs is closely related to the N,O-coordination microenvironment, which is primarily ascribed to the different electrophilicity of the N, O atom. The electron configuration of N 3- Cu-O 1 endows photocatalyst enhanced charge transfer capability and the nearest D-band center to the Fermi level. The “end-on” type adsorption configuration of O 2 at the N 3 ─Cu─O 1 active site can promote the breaking of Cu─O bonds rather than O─O bonds. As a result, the N 3 -Cu-O 1 @COF photocatalyst exhibits the most optimal formation and desorption energies for intermediates •OOH, which provides an advantageous reaction pathway with fewer steps and a lower barrier for 1 O 2 production. This work highlights the structure-activity relationship of SACs for long-term applications.

In this study, for enhancing the resistance of probiotics to environmental factors, we designed a microgel beads delivery system loaded with synbiotics. Multiple droplets of W1/O/W2emulsions stabilized with zein–apple pectin hybrid nanoparticles (ZAHPs) acted as the inner “egg,” whereas a three-dimensional network of poly-L-lysine (PLL)-alginate-CaCl2(Ca) crosslinked gel layers served as the outermost “box.” ZAHPs with a mass ratio of 2:1 zein-to-apple pectin showed excellent wettability (three-phase contact angle = 89.88°). The results of the ζ-potentials and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrate that electrostatic interaction forces and hydrogen bonding were the main forces involved in the formation of ZAHPs. On this basis, we prepared W1/O/W2emulsions with other preparation parameters and observed their microstructures by optical microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscope. The multi-chambered structures of W1/O/W2emulsions were successfully visualized. Finally, the W1/O/W2emulsions were coated with PLL-alginate-Ca using the solution extrusion method. The results of the in vitro colonic digestion stage reveal that the survival rate of probiotics in the microgel beads was about 75.11%, which was significantly higher than that of the free. Moreover, probiotics encapsulated in microgel beads also showed positive storage stability. Apple pectin would serve as both an emulsifier and a prebiotic. Thus, the results indicate that the “egg-box” shaped microgel beads, designed on the basis of pH-sensitive and enzyme-triggered mechanisms, can enhance the efficiency of probiotics translocation in the digestive tract and mediate spatiotemporal controlled release.

O -phenylenediamine (OPD) is commonly used as a precursor in the preparation of red emissive carbon quantum dots (R-CQDs) due to the sp 2 hybridized structure. However, the low fluorescence quantum yield (QY) of the OPD-based R-CQDs limits its application. Although some efforts have been made, the improvement of QY is still limited. In this paper, a strategy is proposed to improve the QY of OPD-based R-CQDs by introducing ethylenediamine (EDA), which plays a key role as a nitrogen (N) dopant due to its high N content. The molar ratio of OPD to EDA (M OPD /M EDA ), the reaction time (t) and temperature (T), and the amount of concentrated H 2 SO 4 (V H2SO4 ), are optimized. The R-CQDs with QY as high as 32.65% and full width at half maximum (FWHM) emission as narrow as 25 nm are obtained via a hydrothermal procedure under the optimal experimental conditions (i.e., M OPD /M EDA = 1/3, t = 6 h, T = 180 °C and V H2SO4 = 4 mL). Such a QY is higher than most of the reported OPD-based R-CQDs. Besides, it is found that concentrated H 2 SO 4 acts as the catalyst in addition to protonation. The enhancement of QY is attributed to the increase of the aromatic N-containing heterocyclic structures (C═N) after the introduction of EDA and catalysis by H 2 SO 4 .

The green production process of o-methylcyclohexanol is particularly important due to its widespread industrial applications. Addressing the issue of low mass transfer efficiency of hydrogen in traditional liquid-phase hydrogenation processes, multichannel ceramic membranes as hydrogen dispersion tools are introduced, successfully achieving uniform and efficient dispersion of hydrogen in the o-cresol cyclohexane solution, thereby promoting the efficient hydrogenation of o-cresol to o-methylcyclohexanol within a fixed-bed reactor. The results show that compared to conventional single-tube feeding methods, the introduction of ceramic membranes significantly enhances the o-cresol conversion and o-methylcyclohexanol selectivity. By optimizing the pore size (200 nm), channel number (19 channels) of the ceramic membranes, and operating conditions, o-cresol conversion and the o-methylcyclohexanol selectivity of no less than 99.5% are achieved under optimal operating conditions. Furthermore, a macro-kinetic model for the membrane-dispersion-enhanced liquid-phase hydrogenation of o-cresol is established, which incorporates an empirical equation for hydrogen solubility. Validation results show that the model-calculated reaction rates of o-cresol are highly consistent with experimental data, with errors controlled within 5%, providing theoretical support for the precise regulation of experimental operating conditions. The work offers a new strategy for the green production of o-methylcyclohexanol.

Cyanidin-3 -O -glucoside (C3G) is a flavonoid with various biological properties, susceptible to degradation and instability under different external factors. Thus, this study aimed to develop novel gum Arabic (GA)-coated nano-nutriosomes (NUs) to improve the stability of C3G and facilitate its controlled delivery and cellular uptake as well as investigate the potential of GA-coated NU as a delivery system for C3G. The optimum concentration of GA to coat C3G-NU was 0.5% (w/v). The properties of NU systems were studied through DLS, HPLC, TEM, DSC, and FTIR. The results showed that C3G was successfully loaded in NUs and GA-NUs with a high encapsulation efficiency of 93.04% and 93.37%, nanosized 175.46 nm and 157.66 nm, with a PDI of 0.27 and 0.22, respectively. Besides, FTIR and DSC analysis showed a successful conjugation between GA and NUs, where GA-C3G-NU showed better physicochemical stability under thermal, pH, and ionic conditions, as well as GA can significantly control the release of C3G preserving around 90.16%. Furthermore, GA-C3G-NU showed better performance in C3G retention under different food simulants ≥89%. Moreover, the antioxidant activity of C3G-NU and GA-C3G-NU was DPPH (50.33 and 43.64 μg VCE/mL, respectively), and ABTS (68.50, and 44.22 μg VCE/mL, respectively). All NUs showed biocompatibility in Caco-2 cells with no cytotoxicity, with higher cellular uptake for GA-C3G-NU. Therefore, GA-NU could be a promising nanocarrier for encapsulating, controlling, and delivering functional ingredients.

Electrochemical supercapacitors, given their high power density and excellent cycling stability, have broad applications from electronic devices to electric vehicles. In this study, we have developed novel nanocomposites to serve as electrodes of high-performance supercapacitors. The nanocomposites, referred to as Cu/MnX x (X = O, S, C)-rGO (rGO: reduced graphene oxide), were fabricated through direct oxidation, sulfidation, and carbonization at elevated temperatures from their metal–organic framework origin, i.e., Cu/Mn-BTC-rGO (BTC: benzene–1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid). This process is cost-effective and scalable, and can be fine-tuned to achieve a variety of nanocomposites with the desired chemistry and structural characteristics. The carbonized product, Cu/MnC x -rGO, is made up of nanoparticles of MnO and copper in close contact supported on rGO nanosheets via strong coupling. This material demonstrates excellent charge storage, rate capability, and cycling stability, i.e., high specific capacitance of 718.6 F g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 , with 92.6% capacitance retention after 1000 cycles. The hierarchical 3D structured Cu/MnC x -rGO nanocomposite has unique chemistry, high surface area, and high electrical conductivity, and hence ensures rapid ion and electron transport beneficial to both pseudocapacitive and double-layer capacitive performance.

The preparation of porous carbon is constrained by the extensive use and detrimental impact of activators and dopants. Therefore, developing green and efficient strategies that leverage the intrinsic properties and pretreatment of the materials to achieve self-activation and self-doping is particularly crucial for porous carbon materials. Herein, potassium histidine was utilized as the molecular salt precursor, attaining the efficient and streamlined preparation of porous carbon through a one-step carbonization process that enables self-activation, self-doping, and self-templating. More interestingly, the carbonization temperature significantly impacts the porous structure of the molecular salt precursors, the properties of the heteroatoms, and electrochemical performance. The designed electrodes exhibit high accessibility to electrolyte ions and effective ion-electron transport channels. Therefore, the optimal carbon material (KHis800) has an excellent mass-specific capacitance of 305.2 F g–1 at 0.2 A g–1, and a high capacitance retention rate of 115.6% (50,000 cycles at 5 A g–1). Notably, KHis800 also shows a maximum energy density of 19.6 Wh kg–1. This research is dedicated to exploring a more efficient preparation method for porous carbon material via molecular salts, offering insights for the sustainable development of carbon materials.

The rational design of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provides potential opportunities for improving energy conversion efficiency. However, developing efficient MOF-based electrocatalysts remains highly challenging. Herein, a strategy involving strain engineering is developed to promote the electrocatalytic performance of MOFs by optimizing electronic configuration and improving the active site. As expected, the optimized CoFe–BDC NO 2 exhibits a low overpotential of 292 mV at 10 mA cm –2 and a small Tafel slope of 31.6 mV dec –1 as oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalyst. Notably, when CoFe–BDC NO 2 is prepared on Nickel foam (NF), the overpotential is only 345 mV at 1 A cm –2 , which ensures efficient water oxidation properties. Integrating CoFe–BDC NO 2 /NF anode in membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for overall water splitting and CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) tests, the results show that the cell voltages of CoFe–BDC NO 2 /NF are 3.14 and 3.09 V at 300 mA cm –2 (25 °C), respectively, indicating that MOFs have various practical application prospects. The research of the structure-performance relationship reveals the lattice oxygen oxidation mechanism (LOM) where the Co-O-Fe bond is formed during the OER process by changing the electronic environment and coordination structure of CoFe–BDC NO 2 , and with high valence Co as active center, which provides a deep understanding of the structure design of MOFs and their structural transformation during OER.

Vaccinium dunalianumleaf buds make one of the most commonly used herbal teas of the Yi people in China, which is used to treat articular rheumatism, relax tendons, and stimulates blood circulation in the body. In addition, 6′-O-caffeoylarbutin (CA) is a standardized extract ofV. dunalianum, which has been found in dried leaf buds, reaching levels of up to 31.76%. Because of the uncommon phenomenon, it is suggested that CA may have a potential therapeutic role in hyperlipidemia and thrombosis. This study was designed to study the efficacy of CA on treating hyperlipidemia and thrombosis and the possible mechanisms behind these effects. Hyperlipidemia and thrombosis zebrafish models were treated with CA to observe variations of the integrated optical density within the vessels and the intensity of erythrocyte staining within the hearts. The possible mechanisms were explored using network pharmacology and molecular docking. The results demonstrate that CA exhibits an excellent hypolipidemic effect on zebrafish at concentrations ranging from 3.0 to 30.0 μg/mL and shows thrombosis inhibitory activity in zebrafish at a concentration of 30.0 μg/mL, with an inhibition rate of 44%. Moreover, network pharmacological research shows that MMP9, RELA, MMP2, PRKCA, HSP90AA1, and APP are major targets of CA for therapy of hyperlipidemia and thrombosis, and may relate to pathways in cancer, chemical carcinogenesis-receptor activation, estrogen signaling pathway, and the AGE–RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications.
