Graphical A cellulose-supported SnW(S,O) 4 bimetal sulfo-oxide catalyst (SW@C) with exceptional catalytic activity in the reduction of MB, RhB, and Cr(VI) in the presence of NaBH 4 under dark conditions were synthesized, which is significant for advancing future research on environmental pollution management using biomass-based materials. In this paper, cellulose-supported SnW(S,O) 4 bimetal sulfo-oxide catalysts (labeled as SnWSO-C or SW@C) with exceptional catalytic performance in the reduction of MB, RhB, and Cr(VI) in the presence of NaBH 4 under dark conditions were synthesized via an in-situ hydrolysis method. The cellulose-supported catalyst system with diverse tree species of Pinus massoniana (Pm), Populus tomentosa Carrière (Ptc), Rice hull (Rh), Phyllostachys edulis (Pe) was investigated. The 100 mL solutions of MB (20 ppm), RhB (50 ppm), and Cr(VI) (50 ppm) were completely reduced by SW@Cotton, SW@Pe, SW@Rh, SW@Ptc, and SW@Pm within 10, 7, 13, 4, and 4 min for MB; 7, 7, 8, 10, and 4 min for RhB; and 5, 8, 10, 10, and 8 min for Cr(VI), respectively. Among them, SW@Pe catalyst exhibits the highest catalytic reduction efficiency and excellent stability, maintaining a removal rate of 96% after six cycles. The superior catalytic reduction performance was attributed the unique properties of Phyllostachys edulis cellulose, characterized by low crystallinity (53.25%), minimal ash content (0.15%), and the lowest degree of polymerization (1267). These features facilitated the improved dispersion of the SnWSO bimetal sulfo-oxide, leading to smaller crystal size, lower electrochemical impedance (2.24 Ω), and a larger electrochemically active surface area (21.86 mF/cm 2 ). This study demonstrates the potential of cellulose-supported bimetal sulfo-oxide catalysts for wastewater treatment, which is significant for advancing future research on environmental pollution management using biomass-based materials.

Microorganisms capable of simultaneously remediating heavy metals (HMs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pollution hold significant importance in bioremediation efforts. In this study, we investigated the ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa AO-4 to simultaneously degrade phenanthrene (PHE) and reduce Cr (VI). Specifically, it has the ability to reduce 100 % of Cr (VI) (30 mg/L) while degrading 43.8 % of PHE (50 mg/L). In batch experiments, it was observed that the presence of Cr (VI) can enhance the degradation of PHE by strain AO-4. The solubility of PHE in soluble extracellular polymeric substances (S-EPS) was found to be related to the initial concentration of Cr (VI), which could explain why Cr (VI) promotes the degradation of PHE. Additionally, XPS analysis confirmed that Cr (VI) was reduced to Cr (III) with S-EPS produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa AO-4. GC–MS analysis was conducted to analyze the degradation metabolites of phenanthrene, di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and 2TMS derivatives of salicylic acid were detected, indicating that Pseudomonas aeruginosa AO-4 is capable of degrading phenanthrene through two distinct pathways. These findings demonstrate the potential of Pseudomonas aeruginosa AO-4 in the treatment of co-contamination scenarios involving PAHs and HMs.

Indeed, the efficient and sustainable recovery of lithium from highly concentrated sodium-containing mother liquors of Li 2 CO 3 and salt-lake brines remains a significant challenge. Herein, two typical Li + recognition receptors, namely benzo-12-crown-4 and thenoyltrifluoroacetone, were separately introduced into the cationic and anionic parts to successfully synthesize novel bi-functionalized task-specific ionic liquids [(B12C4)C n im][TTA] (n = 4, 6, 8). A new, green, and high-efficiency extraction system has been developed by dissolving [(B12C4)C 6 im][TTA] in commercial room-temperature ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methyl-imdazolium bis(trifluromethylsulfonyl)imide [C 6 mim][NTf 2 ], without the addition of any other co-extractants. The newly developed [(B12C4)C 6 im][TTA]-[C 6 mim][NTf 2 ] extraction system exhibited a wide pH working range (4.0–11.0), high lithium extraction efficiency (95.4 %), as well as superior separation factors of Li/Na (β Li/Na = 2154.0) and Li/K (β Li/K =757.2). The extraction mechanism involving cation exchange was determined through slope analysis, ion chromatography, UV–vis spectroscopy and FT-IR spectra measurement, indicating that one [(B12C4)C 6 im][TTA] molecule can interact with two lithium ions and form a 1:2 complex. Moreover, the [(B12C4)C 6 im][TTA]-[C 6 mim][NTf 2 ] extraction system also demonstrated fast extraction kinetics, facile stripping and regeneration, along with good cycling performance. Furthermore, a multi-stage countercurrent extraction process to extract lithium from the simulated mother liquor of Li 2 CO 3 was evaluated. When the volume ratio (O/A) of oil phase (O) to water phase (A) was 1.0, only two theoretical extraction stages were needed to extract 91.4 % of lithium into the organic phase. Thus, the [(B12C4)C 6 im][TTA]-[C 6 mim][NTf 2 ] extraction system is promising for lithium extraction from mother liquor of Li 2 CO 3 and salt-lake brines. This study also opens the avenue for designing cationic and anionic bi-functionalized ionic liquids for metal ion separation.

This study presents a novel surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method for detecting CA19–9 in colorectal adenocarcinoma using 4-thiobenzoic acid (4-TBA) functionalized gold nanoparticles (nanospheres). The optimized SERS probes exhibited a maximum enhancement at pH 7 and 50 μM 4-TBA concentration, with stable signal achieved after 2 hours of incubation. The assay demonstrated a wide dynamic range of 1–100 U/mL, with a lower limit of quantification of 1.0 U/mL. Excellent selectivity was observed against common serum interferents, with normalized SERS intensities within 10 % of CA19–9 alone. Recovery studies in spiked serum samples yielded results ranging from 94.5 % to 105.2 %, indicating minimal matrix effects. Clinical validation using 70 serum samples (50 colorectal adenocarcinoma patients, 20 healthy volunteers) showed strong agreement with a commercial ELISA kit (Pearson's r = 0.987, p < 0.0001). Bland-Altman analysis revealed a mean bias of −0.37 U/mL between SERS and ELISA methods. The SERS-based approach offers advantages including rapid analysis (<1 hour), small sample volume requirements (5–10 μL), and potential for multiplexing. This method shows promise for early detection, disease monitoring, and treatment response evaluation in colorectal adenocarcinoma, with potential applications in both clinical and research settings.

Ethanol, as an important solvent and basic chemical feedstock, has widespread applications in the pharmaceutical, food, and fine chemical industries, including processes such as absorption, washing, and extraction. However, methanol and water are inevitable by-products in the industrial production of ethanol, whether through biological fermentation or chemical synthesis. Particularly methanol, which is harmful to both health and the environment, is typically present in ethanol products at low concentrations, posing a significant challenge for its effective removal. We designed citric acid-modified 4 A zeolites and a bimetallic organic framework Cu@ZIF-7. Under optimal modification conditions, the modified 4 A zeolite showed a 39.15% and 37.21% increase in selectivity for methanol and water, respectively, compared to the initial 4 A zeolite. The yield of qualified products increased by 44.71%. Furthermore, Cu@ZIF-7 exhibited a methanol adsorption capacity of 1.125 mg·g -1 , which is 3.42 times that of the initial 4 A zeolites. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations confirmed that the introduced Cu sites are associated with this enhanced methanol adsorption capacity. Experimental evidence suggests that these adsorbents perform exceptionally in purifying ethanol, particularly in the removal of trace methanol. As a new, environmentally friendly separation method, it holds great potential for obtaining high-purity ethanol.

N,N-diethylacrylamide (DEA) and 4-vinylpyridine (4VP) were polymerized into P(DEA-co-4VP) copolymer hydrogel films with immobilized glucose oxidase (GOD) on electrode surface with the simple one-step procedure under mild conditions, designed as P(DEA-co-4VP)-GOD. Cyclic voltammetric (CV) response of ferrocenedicarboxylic acid (Fc(COOH) 2 ) probe at P(DEA-co-4VP)-GOD film electrodes was very sensitive to environmental pH, temperature, and sulfate concentration. For example, in pH 5.0 buffers, the CV response of Fc(COOH) 2 was quasi-reversible with quite large peak heights at 25 °C for the films, showing the on state; while at pH 9.0, the peaks were greatly suppressed and the system was at the off state. This pH-sensitive on-off switching behavior of the films toward the probe was reversible and could be repeated for many times between pH 5.0 and 9.0. Similarly, the film system could be switched on-off reversibly when the temperature was changed between 25 and 39 °C, or when the concentration of Na 2 SO 4 was changed between 0 and 0.50 M. This triply responsive property could be further used to realize triply switchable electrochemical oxidation of glucose catalyzed by GOD immobilized in the films and mediated by Fc(COOH) 2 in solution. The responsive mechanism of the system was also explored and discussed. The pH-sensitive property was attributed to the electrostatic interaction between the P4VP component of the films and the probe at different pH, while the thermo- and sulfate-sensitive behavior was ascribed to the structure change of PDEA constituent of the films with temperature and Na 2 SO 4 concentration, respectively. These “smart” films combine the unique stimuli-responsive properties of both P4VP and PDEA with enzymatic reactions and may be used to fabricate a novel type of multi-controllable electrochemical biosensors based on bioelectrocatalysis.

2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate (EHMC), a UV filter commonly used in sunscreen products, is also an emerging environmental pollutant that interferes with the structure and function of bovine serum albumin (BSA). A study was conducted on the interaction between EHMC and BSA when they coexist and are encapsulated within β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). Multiple spectra demonstrate, both qualitatively and quantitatively, that β-CD coexistence and encapsulation weaken the interaction between EHMC and BSA, resulting in a more difficult binding process between the two and inhibiting EHMC-induced conformational changes in BSA. Once encapsulated by β-CD, the inclusion complex (IC) was weakly bound to BSA (Kb=(7.63 ± 0.01)×104 M−1), and it had no significant impact on BSA’s structure. Despite this, β-CD did not significantly alter EHMC’s UV shielding ability.

Antibacterial active packaging enables extensive biological effects to improve food safety. However, it still remains difficult to achieve controlled and precise release of bioactive compounds to the specific target location with required quantity in food packaging applications. Here, a novel relative humidity (RH) - responsive polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan (PVA/CS) composite nanofibrous film incorporated with 4-terpineol/β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes (4-TA@β-CD ICs) was engineered by electrospinning that can be exploited as a functional packaging materials. The characterization results showed the thermal stability of the films was enhanced after the incorporation due to the hydrogen bonds between ICs and biopolymers. Besides, the 4 wt% 4-TA@β-CD ICs/PVA/CS film exhibited optimized morphology, crystallinity, mechanical properties, and water vapor permeability. The incorporation of ICs dramatically promoted the antioxidant and inhibition activity of the film especially towards Shewanella putrefaciens . Moreover, the release behavior of 4-TA indicated that high RH accelerated the releasing rate, and the film obtained a sustained-release effect. Finally, the film with long-term antibacterial effectiveness succeeded in extending the shelf life of Litopenaeus vannamei shrimps by an additional 2 days at 4°C. This work developed a RH-responsive release packaging material, which may serve as an effective active food packaging.

Highly dispersed Pd/N-doped carbon dots (Pd/NCDs) were successfully immobilized in the mesoporous channels of amino-functionalized dendritic mesoporous silica nanospheres (NMS). The synthesized Pd/NCDs@NMS catalyst exhibits outstanding performance in the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), achieving a turnover frequency of 1461.8 mol·mol Pd −1 ·h −1 , with the conversion rate remaining above 80% after 11 cycles. Experiments and density functional theory calculations reveal that the NCDs significantly affect the electronic structure of Pd nanoparticles, leading to changes in the energy barriers for the adsorption of 4-NP at the Pd sites and the conversion of 4-NP reaction intermediates, which is a key factor contributing to the catalytic performance. This study offers a new strategy for synthesizing carbon-dot-modified metal-based catalysts.

Herein, effort was made to construct innovative adsorbent for the removal of polar organic micropollutants (OMPs) from water. Tetra- meso resorcinol-functionalized calix[4]pyrrole (CP) featured with endo -functionalized attribute and polyphenol hydroxyl structure was crosslinked by π-electron-rich 4,4′-bis(chloromethyl)biphenyl (BCMBP) through Friedel-Crafts reaction to generate porous calix[4]pyrrole-based polymers (PCPPs) with high surface area. The porosity of the PCPPs could be tuned by adjusting the molar ratio of hydrophilic CP to hydrophobic BCMBP, and diversified binding sites were integrated together. Based on adsorption kinetics and isotherm studies, PCPP(1–16) showed rapid adsorption rate and high removal efficiency (RE) as well as advanced adsorption capacity. The REs towards the tested polar OMPs by PCPP(1–16) were all above 95% in 30 min. Compared with granular activated carbon (GAC), the rate constant of pseudo-second-order model ( k 2 ) and adsorption capacity upon PCPP(1–16) were 8–230 times and 1.3–3.1 times greater than those by GAC. Adsorption mechanism studies confirmed the presence of multiple interactions and thermodynamic investigation revealed the spontaneous and physical adsorption nature. Besides, PCPP(1–16) showed excellent adsorption performance in real water samples at environmental levels and exhibited advanced absorption ability in flow-through mode. Accompanied by facile regeneration under eluting with methanol and cost-effective preparation, PCPP(1–16) demonstrated great potential as promising adsorbent for water treatment.

As an “upstream” process in biorefinery, biomass dismantling can dismantle the natural stable structure of lignocellulosic biomass and separate its three major components. To increase the value of the entire biomass by fully utilizing the three main components (cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose), this study proposes a two-step decomposition system combining formic acid (FA) pretreatment and ethylene glycol-NaOH (EGA) dismantling, aiming to effectively convert sugarcane bagasse into xylose, fermentable glucose, and high-value lignin. In the first step, FA pretreatment removed 79.85 % of hemicellulose at 140 °C for 90 min with 3 % FA. Based on the first step, further combination of EGA dismantling can achieve a hemicellulose removal rate of 92.05 % and a lignin removal rate of 95.90 %. In addition, the solid residue was hydrolyzed by enzymes, and the glucose conversion rate was close to 83.29 % when the cellulase dosage was 10 FPU/g. In addition, the lignin recovered by this system retained 83.62 % of the natural β-O-4 structure, which has the potential to catalyze the formation of aromatic monomers. In summary, this gentle two-step system simultaneously improves the efficiency of lignocellulose decomposition and produces different value-added products, demonstrating the potential for industrial-scale production.

A new spiro compound, C 14 H 13 N 3 O 6 (NHD) was prepared through the reaction of 6,10-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane-7,9‑dione with diazotized solution of 4-nitroaniline in ethanol. The structural characteristics of NHD were investigated using spectroscopy (FT-IR, UV-is and 1 H and 13 C NMR) and computational analysis utilizing B3LYP/6–311G(d,p) level. Theoretical and experimental results for optimizing molecular geometry, infrared vibrational frequencies, and UV–Vis spectra were found to be consistent. Hirshfeld surface analysis had been used to explain intermolecular interaction and π···π stacking interactions. 2D fingerprint studies confirmed that O···H/H···O contributions make up the greatest contributors (43.6 %) in NHD. Additionally, (HOMO-LUMO) energies, global reactivity properties, MEP and NBO were investigated at the same level. Finally, NHD is thermally stable up to 195 ℃ according to TG/DTA analysis.
