A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the determination of 4 nucleosides by one reference compound in Chinese cordyceps was developed. The sample of Chinese cordyceps was prepared by ultrasonic extraction with a 0.5% phosphoric acid aqueous solution. The separation of the sample was performed on a CORTECS T3 column (100 mm × 4.6 mm, 2.7 μm) by gradient elution with acetonitrile and water at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The wavelengths were set as 258 nm (0-5 min), 252 nm (5-9.1 min), 258 nm (9.1-10.5 min), 249 nm (10.5-20 min) at which 4 nucleosides exhibited identical ultraviolet absorption. The accuracy, precision, reproducibility, and stability tests of the HPLC method were carried out, and the results indicated that the established HPLC method was suitable for the quantitative analysis of 4 nucleosides in Chinese cordyceps. This approach was compared to the traditional external standard method with 4 nucleoside reference compounds and the relative standard errors of the content determination results by the 2 methods were less than 3.5%. The HPLC method developed for quantitative measurement of 4 nucleosides in Chinese cordyceps is simple, lower cost, and time-saving, which provides a methodology alternative for quality control of Chinese cordyceps.

As conventional water purification technologies are inefficient, they put us at risk of exposure to emerging micropollutants. Here, we report a two-step method for rapid construction of a stable enzyme@MOF biomimetic membrane comprising enzyme-embedded metal–organic framework-based biocomposites for continuous and efficient removal of micropollutants from water. We first prepared a horseradish peroxidase@zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (HRP@ZIF-8) biocomposite via ball-milling method, capable of preserving structural integrity and the entrapped enzyme bioactivity under different denaturing environments. The second step involves biocomposite membrane synthesis via stimulation of polydopamine (PDA) polymerization with UV light after successively dispersing the dopamine and HRP@ZIF-8 biocomposite molecules in a neutral pH Tris-HCl system. Accompanied by the clever codeposition with PDA, the HRP@ZIF-8 biocomposite can be “sandwiched” between the PDA layers to create a stable HRP@ZIF-8-composite membrane (HRP@ZIF-8-CM). HRP@ZIF-8-CM synergistically integrates MOF adsorption, enzyme catalysis, and membrane separation functions. The calculated encapsulation rate of the HRP@ZIF-8 biocomposite is ≤ 98.2 %. The enzyme@MOF composite membrane has a catalytic degradation efficiency of 98 % for bisphenol A (1 mg/L), membrane water flux of 32.3 L/m 2 h bar, outstanding stability, and high efficiency after 7 cycles of use. Surprisingly, the bisphenol A removal rate of the enzyme@MOF composite membrane remained stable under varying denaturing conditions, including wide pH and temperature ranges and proteolytic enzymes, indicating that HRP enzyme activity is well preserved, probably owing to the bio-inertness of ZIF-8. In conclusion, we propose a new, simple, and fast method for the constructing enzyme@MOF composite membranes, which can significantly improve water purification.

The advent of hydrogel-based flexible strain sensors has generated enormous research interest due to their outstanding biocompatibility. However, developing hydrogel-based strain sensors with high gauge factor, wide detection range and multifunctional integration is still challenging. Here, a novel multifunctional hydrogel-based strain sensor is composed of two-dimensional transition metal carbides/nitrides (Ti 3 C 2 Tx MXene) and Polyacrylamide- co -Poly- N -hydroxyethylene acrylamide/Carboxy Methyl Cellulose-Fe 3+ dual network structure (PAAm-PHEMAA/CMC-Fe 3+ ) with multiple hydrogen bonds and coordination interactions. The dual network design endowed the hydrogel-based human motion sensor with fast rebound and high tensile properties , enabling it to exhibit high sensitivity (response time ∼120 ms and gauge factor ∼1.62), and a wide detection range (0–700%), including joint movements as well as more subtle human motions (facial micro-expression changes and speech). More importantly, the hydrogel-based strain sensor exhibited excellent EMI (41 dB, X-band) and UV shielding properties (365 nm, 100%, 0.5 mm) due to the synergy of porous structure, moderate conductivity, and ionic solution environment. Moreover, it demonstrated robust adhesion (29 kPa), high shape adaptability, and self-healing capability. This innovative multi-functional flexible sensor design provides guidance for the development, research and application of high-performance flexible wearable materials.

Implanting vascular stents is regarded as a ground-breaking technique for treating cardiovascular disorders. Thus, advancements in vascular stent technology and stent materials have significant social and economic implications. The development of a surface with bionic endothelial function of nitric oxide (NO) release is always an ideal direction for cardiovascular material modification. However, The NO-release stents will face severe challenges in the oxidative stress microenvironment of atherosclerotic lesions. Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) can delay scaffold surface re-endothelialization by causing rapidly oxidative inactivation of NO and by causing endothelial cells (ECs) to undergo apoptosis. Regulating the oxidative stress microenvironment is crucial to address the aforementioned issues. In this study, a composite material that contains ultraviolet (UV)-modified and Copper (II) meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl) porphine (CuTPP)-loaded titanium dioxide nanotubes (NTs) was presented. CuTPP can efficiently catalyze the decomposition of ROS and also decompose GSNO into NO. As a unique technique, UV irradiation was used to enhance the anticoagulant properties of the CuTPP-loaded NTs ( [email protected] ). In vivo and in vitro results demonstrated that UV treated [email protected] maintained strong biocompatibility, anti-thrombosis, ECs and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) regulation, and anti-inflammatory capabilities. This technique might present a fresh idea for developing brand-new NO-release scaffolds.

Polydopamine (PDA), also known as artificial melanin, was adopted as ultraviolet absorbent to prepare a series of porous highly fluorinated polyimide/polydopamine (FPI/PDA) films by cyclodehydration via chemical and thermal imidization. The hydrogen bond and porous structure endowed the reinforced thermal, mechanical, UV-shielding and photostability. The initial decomposition and glass transition temperatures of FPI/PDA (1 wt %) film were as high as 461.5 °C and 341.5 °C, respectively beyond pure FPI by 54.1 °C and 26.0 °C. The stress-strain curves indicated that tensile strength and fracture elongation first increased and then decreased with the increase of PDA content, and reached the maximum at 0.5 wt % PDA content, which were 1.41 and 29.47 times of FPI, respectively. UV–vis transmittance spectra, curcumin photolysis and recyclability measurement confirmed the splendid UV-shielding properties with simultaneous excellent visible light transmittance and durability of porous FPI/PDA film. FTIR and AFM manifested its superior photostability with mild variation in carbonyl absorption peaks and surface roughness after 720 h UV irradiation. The above enhancement mechanisms included synergistic UV absorption of porous FPI and PDA, photothermal conversion in a stable FPI, and PDA's free radical trapping, promoting porous FPI/PDA film as an aerospace UV shielding material.

The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into various high-value chemicals has been a rapid expanding research topic in industry and agriculture. Among them, alkaline removal and utilization of lignin are important for the accelerated degradation of biomass. Modern biorefinery has been focusing the vision on the advancement of economical, green, and environmentally friendly processes. Therefore, it is indispensable to develop cost-effective and simple biomass conversion technologies to obtain high-value products. In this study, the black liquor (BL) obtained from the alkaline pretreatment of biomass was added to polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution and used to prepare degradable ultraviolet (UV) shielding films, achieving direct and efficient utilization of the aqueous phase from alkaline pretreatment. This method avoids the extraction step of lignin fraction from black liquor, which can be directly utilized as the raw materials of films preparation. In addition, the direct use of alkaline BL results in films with similar UV-shielding properties, higher physical strength, and similar thermal stability compared with films made by commercial alkaline lignin. Therefore, this strategy is proposed for alkaline-pretreated biorefineries as a simple way to convert waste BL into valuable products and partially recover unconsumed sodium hydroxide to achieve as much integration of biomass and near zero-waste biorefineries as possible.

Halonitrophenols (HNPs) are emerging aromatic nitrogenous disinfection by-products ( N -DBPs) with high cyto- and genotoxicity. However, limited information is available regarding the formation mechanism of HNP during chlorination after the UV/chlorine process. In the past, dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) constitutes a vast array of N -DBP precursors due to its heterogeneous nature. Amino acids (AAs) are an important class of DON in water, where combined AAs (i.e., peptides and proteins) make up a larger identifiable section. In this study, three AAs including free tyrosine (Tyr) and two oligopeptides (i.e., tyrosine-alanine (Tyr-Ala) and tyrosine-tyrosine-tyrosine (Tyr-Tyr-Tyr)) were selected as model AAs to evaluate the effect of the UV/chlorine process on the formation of 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenol (DCNP). We found an enhanced formation of DCNP after the UV/chlorine process in comparison with direct chlorination, which indicated the nitrogen sources in AAs can contribute to the formation of HNPs. The presence of NO • in the UV/chlorine process was demonstrated by electron spin-resonance spectroscopy (ESR) test. The effects of three typical factors (i.e., UV fluence, pH, and Cl 2 /AA) on the formation of DCNP in the UV/chlorine process were investigated to optimize parameters to minimize the formation of HNPs. Furthermore, it was observed that oligopeptides exhibited higher yields of DCNP than free Tyr. Based on this, we propose a possible formation pathway of DCNP from 2 oligopeptides to elucidate the formation mechanisms more intuitively. We observed and confirmed a convertible tendency from HNPs to aliphatic DBPs (e.g., trichloronitromethane). Overall, this study provided a reliable theoretical basis for a comprehensive understanding of the precursors, formation mechanisms and control methods of HNPs.

Fluorinated liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) have been identified as emerging persistent and bioaccumulative chemicals with non-negligible environmental concentrations. Herein, 12 fluorinated LCMs including highly detected 4-ethoxy-2,3-difluoro-4′-(trans-4-propylcyclohexyl)biphenyl (EDPB) were selected as target fluorinated LCMs to investigate their structure–reactivity relationships by the ultraviolet/peroxydisulfate (UV/PDS) treatment. EDPB with biphenyl and ethoxy showed the highest first-order degradation rate constant of 1.93 h–1, while that of fluorinated LCMs with ethoxy (1.10–1.26 h–1) and biphenyl (0.45–0.56 h–1) and without biphenyl or ethoxy (0.27–0.30 h–1) decreased sequentially. HO• and SO4•– were identified as the main oxidative species in the UV/PDS treatment. Theoretical calculation suggested that biphenyl and ethoxy can significantly alter the electron distribution of LCM molecules, providing more attackable sites for HO• and SO4•– on LCMs with biphenyl or ethoxy. Oxalic acid, cyclohexane, and bicyclohexane were the main degradation products of fluorinated LCMs even though their degradation pathways were determined by their different molecular structures. Toxicity estimation revealed that fluorinated LCMs with high acute toxicity and developmental toxicity could be decomposed into some final products with less toxicity. This study is expected to fill knowledge gaps in the structure–activity relationships of fluorinated LCMs by the UV/PDS treatment.

Highly efficient broadband blue-emitting phosphors are urgently needed for full-visible-spectrum white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). Herein, we report a new highly luminescent garnet-type Ca 2 LuHf 2 GaAl 2 O 12 :Ce 3+ (abbreviated as: CLHGAO:Ce 3+ ) blue phosphor enabling full-visible-spectrum LED lighting. These CLHGAO:Ce 3+ phosphors doped with different Ce 3+ concentrations have been prepared by using a high-temperature solid-state reaction approach, and their phase purity, crystal structure, luminescent properties, CIE color coordinates, and quantum efficiency have been systematically studied. Importantly, CLHGAO:Ce 3+ blue phosphors show a broadband excitation spectrum in the 300–450 nm spectral range peaking around 398 nm, matching well with the emission wavelengths of commercial near-ultraviolet LED chips (380–420 nm). Upon 398 nm excitation, the optimal CLHGAO:2%Ce 3+ phosphor sample generates a bright broad blue emission band (emission peak: 472 nm; bandwidth: 84 nm) with high internal quantum efficiency of 79.2% and external quantum efficiency of 55.3%. Notably, the emission intensity of CLHGAO:2%Ce 3+ phosphor is about 1.87 times higher compared to the commercial BaMgAl 10 O 17 :Eu 2+ blue phosphor (emission peak: 451 nm; bandwidth: 53 nm). Finally, a white LED device is fabricated with a 395 nm near-UV LED chip with CLHGAO:2%Ce 3+ blue phosphor and commercial (Ba,Sr) 2 SiO 4 :Eu 2+ green phosphor as well as commercial CaAlSiN 3 :Eu 2+ red phosphor, and the device demonstrates bright warm-white emission with an ultrahigh color rendering index (Ra = 95.1, R9 = 97.8, R12 = 88.4) and low correlated color temperature of 3540 K. These results show that as-developed blue-emitting CLHGAO:Ce 3+ garnet phosphors with superior photoluminescence properties can potentially be used in phosphor-converted full-visible-spectrum WLEDs.

It is challenging to endow poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with good dielectric properties and UV absorption capacity while simultaneously overcoming its poor heat resistance. Herein, we report for the first time a novel organic–inorganic hybrid (PMMA-HBPSi) derived from methyl methacrylate (MMA) and hyperbranched polysiloxane (HBPSi) fabricated via γ-radiation curing. The typical properties (thermal stability, optical characteristics, and dielectric properties) of the hybrids were systematically investigated and discussed. The results demonstrated that the incorporation of HBPSi into the PMMA resin not only increased the thermal resistance, dimensional stability, and dielectric properties but also remarkably reduced the UV transmittance. Specifically, in comparison with pure PMMA, the initial degradation temperature ( T di ) of PMMA-HBPSi increased by 31°C, with no phase transition occurred in a temperature range of 60–230°C, thus illustrating a significant improvement in the glass-transition temperature. Moreover, the thermal expansion coefficient decreased by 86.9% at temperatures exceeding 118°C. The UV transmittance of PMMA was also found to decrease by 80% at 295 nm after the introduction of HBPSi. These attractive features of PMMA-HBPSi demonstrate that the new approach proposed here is suitable for developing high-performance organic glasses for optical, aviation, and electronic applications.

With the improvement in people’s living standards, the development and application of smart textiles are receiving increasing attention. In this study, a carbon nanosurface was successfully coated with a SiO2layer to form C@SiO2nanomaterials, which improved the dispersion of carbon nanomaterials in an aqueous solution and enhanced the absorption of light by the carbon nanoparticles. C@SiO2nanoparticles were coupled on the surface of silk fabric with the silane coupling agent KH570 to form C@SiO2nanosilk fabric. The silk fabric that was subjected to such surface modification was endowed with a special photothermal function. The results obtained with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed that C@SiO2nanoparticles were successfully modified on the surface of the silk fabric. In addition, under the irradiation of near-infrared light with a power of 20 W and a wavelength of 808 nm, the C@SiO2nanosilk fabric experienced rapid warming from 23 °C to 60 °C within 30 s. After subjecting the functional fabric to hundreds of photothermal experiments and multiple washes, the photothermal efficiency remained largely unchanged and proved to be durable and stable. In addition, the thermogravimetric (TG) analysis results showed that the C@SiO2nanoparticles contributed to the thermal stability of the silk fabric. The UV transmittance results indicated that C@SiO2nanofabric is UV-resistant. The silk modification method developed in this study is low-cost, efficient, and environmentally friendly. It has some prospects for future applications in the textile industry.

This work was to investigate the transformation of coexisting decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) on microplastics and their possible interactions in UV/chlorine process. Compared with pristine microplastics, the highly aged polystyrene (PS) showed an inhibitory effect on degradation of BDE-209. Increasing initial concentration of BDE-209 on PS inhibited degradation, while the chlorine concentration and pH did not affect the final degradation efficiency. Moreover, the presence of NO 3 − , SO 4 2− , HCO 3 − and HA in water was unfavorable for BDE-209 degradation. According to the experimental and calculation results, the contribution to the degradation of BDE-209 was ranked as direct photolysis > HO• > •Cl in the UV/ chlorine system. Chlorination products released by PS during UV/chlorination were detected. Four possible reaction pathways of BDE-209 were proposed, which mainly involved debromination, hydroxylation, chlorine substitution, cleavage of ether bond, and intramolecular elimination of HBr. It was worth noting that PS microplastics not only inhibited the degradation of BDE-209, but also affected the type and abundance of its transformation products. Meanwhile, interaction products of PS and BDE-209 were determined, which was attributed to reactions of PS-derived radicals with •Br/•C 6 Br 5 and •Cl. Results of toxicity evaluation showed that the introduction of carbon-halogen bonds, especially C-Br bond, increased the toxicity of chain scission products of PS. This work provides some new insights into transformation, interaction, and associated ecological risks of coexisting microplastics and surface adsorbed contaminants in the UV/chlorine process of drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).
