The application of hematite(α-Fe 2 O 3 )-based photoanodes in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation has been hampered by disgusting charge recombination and difficult carrier migration. Herein, we modified indium sulfide (In 2 S 3 ) nanoparticles on the surface of fluorine-doped α-Fe 2 O 3 (F-Fe 2 O 3 ) nanorods . The In 2 S 3 /F-Fe 2 O 3 heterostructure bonded by S-O chemical bond shows a superior photocurrent density of 2.21 mA cm −2 at 1.23 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (around 3.45 times higher than that of pristine α-Fe 2 O 3 ). In-depth investigations show that In 2 S 3 /F-Fe 2 O 3 has significantly increased donor density and decreased charge transfer resistance. Simultaneously, In 2 S 3 decorated with S-O bond could reduce the surface defect states. Further studies of energy band location reveal the formation of type-Ⅱ heterojunction between In 2 S 3 and F-Fe 2 O 3 . The unique heterostructure provides a powerful driving force for charge separation and transport, resulting in satisfactory bulk phase and surface separation efficiency. This work provides ideas for the design and study of multicomponent photoanodes.

Although numerous propolis flavonoids (EEP) formulations have been developed as dietary supplements for assisting blood glucose regulation, their bioavailability and bioactivity are limited due to the lower solubilities in aqueous media. To address this challenge, a novel O/W submicron emulsion was constructed to efficiently deliver propolis flavonoids and improve the absorption efficiency. Results showed that this delivery vehicle exerted inspiring features of nano-scaled droplet size , narrow particle distribution and higher cargo loading efficiency. Compared to conventional preparations, EEP submicron emulsion exhibited excellent stability against dilution with different pH buffers and maintained physicochemical characteristics within six months. Most importantly, EEP submicron emulsion could be efficiently absorbed through gastrointestinal (GI) tract via multiple-uptake routes and dramatically enhanced the bioavailability of propolis flavonoids. In conclusion, O/W submicron emulsion is a promising carrier for improving the in vivo utilization efficiency of water-insoluble flavonoids in functional foods.

LaB 6 has been demonstrated as an effective O-scavenger for powder metallurgy (PM) Ti alloys to mitigate the detrimental effect of solid-solution O on the ductility. However, conventional mechanical mixing methods lead to the agglomeration and non-uniform distribution of LaB 6 , resulting in partial deactivation and reduced O-scavenging efficiency during sintering. Aiming at this issue, we propose an electrostatic self-assembly strategy that combined surface functional modification of LaB 6 with solid-liquid fluidized bed powder coating treatment to synthesize a novel LaB 6 -coated Ti composite powder. Compared to traditional LaB 6 additives in powder mixtures, the LaB 6 -coating particles exhibited excellent O-scavenging efficiency and higher utilization rate. Even at a low coating-content of 0.3 wt% LaB 6 , the tensile strength and elongation of the as-sintered Ti samples increased from 461 ± 26 to 579 ± 13 MPa and 5.6 ± 1.4% to 14.2 ± 0.3%, respectively. The achieved improvement rate (∼95%) in tensile elongation was significantly superior to the previously reported data of the rare-earth O-scavengers.

The widespread use of tetracycline unavoidably causes residue problems, hence its monitor in foods and environment is important. In this work, a simple but sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor is prepared for tetracycline detection. The sensor is constructed using TiO 2 nanoparticle, ZIF-5 loaded Ru(bpy) 3 2+ (Ru@ZIF-5), and molecularly imprinted poly-o-phenylenediamine. The TiO 2 NP acts as a co-reaction accelerator for tri-n-propylamine (TPrA) by producing electrons and holes at a certain potential to promote the production of TPrA . ZIF-5 has a large specific surface area and rich functional groups, thus can well immobilize a large amount of illuminant Ru(bpy) 3 2+ . The electrodeposited molecularly imprinted polymer acts as a recognition element. Due to the synergic effect of different components, the resulting ECL sensor shows a wide linear range of 10 nM–50 μM, high selectivity, low detection limit, and good stability. It can be used for the detection of tetracycline in food and environmental samples.

Despite the potential benefits of using cellulose ethers and their combination with other polysaccharides and proteins in the creation of reduced-fat water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, research in this specific area is currently limited. Further studies are needed to explore the optimal combinations and concentrations of these materials to achieve emulsions with desired texture and higher rheological properties. To address this research gap, seven W/O emulsions with a 40 wt% water phase at pH 3.5 are prepared. The water phase consisted of 2 wt% methylcellulose (MC) or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) combined with 10 wt% whey protein isolate (WPI) and/or kappa-carrageenan (kC). The oil phase, comprising 60 wt%, contained 8 wt% polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) in soybean oil . The emulsions were initially prepared at room temperature and subsequently subjected to a heating process at an elevated temperature of 90 °C for a duration of 30 min. Following this heating step, the emulsions were then cooled back to room temperature. This sequential temperature treatment was employed with the intention of inducing aggregation and gelation within the emulsions. The temperature oscillation measurements (G* versus temperature) provide further evidence for the role of covalent and noncovalent bonding in the rheology and gelation of WPI-based emulsions. The viscosity and moduli of unheated and heated emulsions containing combinations of HPMC were found to be higher compared to those containing MC combinations. This behavior can be attributed to the stronger intermolecular interaction between HPMC, WPI, and/or kC, as well as their attachment with PGPR. These interactions lead to the formation of a more viscous and firmer W–O interface in emulsions.

Herein, a novel C=O–NOH-contained compound was synthesized and used in the extraction and recovery of copper from sulfate solution. Dodecyl phenyl ethyl hydroxamic acid (DPEHA) exhibited high selectivity to Cu(II) over the competing ions, and the separation factors (β) obtained were βCu/Zn = 227.370, βCu/Co = 199.094, βCu/Ni = 188.889, respectively. The separation effect was stronger than that of 2-hydroxy-5-nonyl acetophenone oxime. Meanwhile, extraction capacity of 0.10 g Cu(II) per gram DPEHA was reached, and the extracted Cu(II) can be stripped effectively. The investigation of extraction mechanism revealed that O atoms in C=O and O-H groups of DPEHA operate as active sites, which could powerfully chelate with Cu(II) by forming stable five-membered rings. The high copper extraction efficiency and selectivity associated with a simple synthesis of DPEHA make it to serve as the potential selective Cu(II) extractant, which also provide a novel insight for the research and development of economical Cu(II) extractants.

In the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the non-reversible destruction of surface electronic structure caused by the irregular element migration in complex surface/interface reaction limits the improvement of catalyst’s activity and stability. Herein, we successfully realize the control of ‘dual-path migration of metallic elements in OER’ to stepwise reconstruct the O-coordinated bi-metal heterodimer (M 1 -O-M 2 ) for electron density redistribution. By designing Fe@FeNi 3 @NiO-Fe 3 O 4 (F-FN-NFO) model electrode with stepwise surface treatment in OER process, the directional migration (from core to shell, path 1 ) and adjacent-surface migration of Fe atoms ( path 2 ) are both controlled to reduce the formation energy of Ni-O-Fe units, realizing strengthened electron transfer between heterogeneous metal centers. After the surface reconstruction, the OER activity of F-FN-NFO increases for 8.6 times at 1.7 V (30.5–263 mA cm −2 ). Based on this strategy, the designed three-dimension NiFe@NiFe x O is positive activated compared to traditional NiFe-oxidation with the overpotential reduced to 299 mV at 10 mA cm −2 .

Herein, improvement of the stability of the water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsions by addition of xanthan gum (XG)/locust bean gum (LBG) mixture in the inner water phase was aimed. The impact of XG/LBG mixture on the physical stability, microstructure and rheological properties of W/O/W emulsions was investigated. It was found that, compared with the control emulsions, the presence of XG/LBG mixture could improve the stability of W/O/W emulsions against coalescence. The tea polyphenols (TPPs) and XG/LBG mixture were simultaneously included in the internal aqueous phase of the double emulsion and stored at 25 and 40 °C in the dark for 28 d. The results showed that XG/LBG mixture not only had a protective role for TPPs encapsulated in the internal water phase, but also maintained more than 50% of the antioxidant capacity of TPPs.

Background Oxaliplatin (OXE) combined with other chemotherapy drugs against colorectal cancer had been reported in the literature before, however, the efficacy of oxaliplatin combined with natural compounds was elusive. In addition, the clinical bioactivity and therapeutic dose of antitumor drugs are severely limited due to poor targeting and side effects. NDDSs offers an excellent strategy to overcome the disadvantages of small molecule anticancer drugs. Methods Here, we have prepared N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan Oxaliplatin nanoparticles (CMCS-OXE NPs) and N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan Resveratrol nanoparticles (CMCS-Res NPs) were prepared by ion crosslinking and emulsification crosslinking, respectively. Results The results revealed that the CMCS-OXE NPs exhibited a high encapsulation efficiency (60%) with a size of approximately 190.0 nm , and the CMCS-Res NPs exhibited a high encapsulation efficiency (65%) with a size of approximately 164.2 nm. The treatment with both types of nanoparticles combined exhibited more significant anti-colon cancer activity than the free drugs or either type of nanoparticle alone. In the in vivo experiments, the inhibition efficiency of the combined nanoparticle treatment was much stronger than the free drugs or either type of nanoparticle alone. Conclusions Overall, combination of oxaliplatin and resveratrol into a nanoparticle-drug delivery systems (NDDSs) appears to be a promising strategy for colorectal cancer (CRC) therapy.

High efficient activator is highly desired in the field of persulfate-based advanced oxidation process. In comparison with the previous studies, this study adopted nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen co-doped carbon material to support Fe 0 encapsulate in Fe 3 O 4 to prepare iron-based modified carbon composite (Fe 0 @Fe 3 O 4 -MC) by a facile two-step pyrolysis. Fe 0 @Fe 3 O 4 -MC was then used for degradation of sulfamethoxazole. The results showed that Fe 0 @Fe 3 O 4 -MC had superior catalytic activity for PMS activation due to the synergistic effect of iron-based compound and modified carbon. In the presence of 0.1 g/L of Fe 0 @Fe 3 O 4 -MC, SMX (0.04 mM) could be completely degraded within 120 min at pH 3.4 and 3 mM of PMS. The SMX degradation followed pseudo first-order kinetic model, with the rate constant of 0.12 min −1 , and the mineralization of SMX achieved 48.4%. Sulfate radicals dominated in the SMX degradation. In addition to Fe 0 and Fe 3 O 4 , carbon defects, graphitic N, sulfur and FeN 4 also contributed to PMS activation. Fe 0 oxidation was the rate-limiting step for PMS activation. Dissolved oxygen made a minor contribution to Fe 0 oxidation. The intermediate products of SMX degradation were identified, and two pathways of SMX degradation were proposed. The influencing factors on SMX degradation were studied, including pH, temperature, PMS concentration, Fe 0 @Fe 3 O 4 -MC dosage, chloridion, carbonate and humic acids, and the influencing mechanism was discussed. This study could provide an efficient PMS activator for the degradation of emerging organic pollutants in water and wastewater.

A morphologically adjustable metal-organic framework (MOF) template and a unique hierarchical structure show improved electrochemical performance of electrode materials for supercapacitors . Herein, Zn/Co-MOF-derived zinc-cobalt oxide/nickel cobalt layered double hydroxides (Zn-Co-O/NiCo-LDH) hierarchical core/shell nanostructures on nickel foam (NF) were synthesized by simple methods and exhibited high specific capacitance. The results showed that both the reasonable morphology of the MOF-templated continuous nanosheet network and synergy between transition bimetallic oxides and transition bimetallic hydroxide played an important role in improving the electrochemical properties . Hence, the as-prepared Zn-Co-O/NiCo-LDH battery-type electrode exhibited excellent specific capacitance of 2275.2 F/g at 1 A/g and remarkable cycling stability of 82.4% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles. Moreover, the as-prepared Zn-Co-O/NiCo-LDH was used as the positive electrode to assemble a hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) device, which attained a distinguished energy density of 44.5 W h/kg at a power density of 800 W/kg and satisfactory stability (71.5% retention after 5000 cycles). It was concluded that MOF-templated core/shell heterostructures in electrode materials have broad prospects and great potential for energy storage.

Heteroatom co-doping has been considered as an effective strategy to simultaneously overcome intrinsic shortcomings of g-C 3 N 4 to achieve enhanced photocatalytic properties, in which the involved dopants could play its role in altering electronic structure, optical absorption and charge separation of the catalyst. Herein, W/O co-doped hollow g-C 3 N 4 tubular structures are successfully obtained for the first time via a one-step thermal decomposition. By W/O co-doping, architecture of g-C 3 N 4 is able to be modulated with enhanced optical absorption towards visible region. In addition, narrowed band gap and restrained charge recombination are conducive for the excitation of electron-hole pairs and transportation. Photocatalytic water splitting tests indicate that the co-doped hollow tubular g-C 3 N 4 structures enable superior activity for generating hydrogen up to 403.57 μmol g −1 h −1 driven by visible light, nearly 2.5 times as high as that of pristine g-C 3 N 4 . This work presents a rational strategy to design co-doped g-C 3 N 4 as an efficient visible-light-driven photocatalyst .
