This study introduces an innovative organic filler, polydopamine-coated cellulose nanofibers (PDA-CNF), designed to revolutionize self-healing materials by introducing abundant dynamic chemical bonds into polymer matrices. The synergistic interaction between dynamic hydrogen bonds and metal-ligand coordination enabled the creation of a series of composites exhibiting exceptional and highly tunable mechanical and self-healing properties. Notably, the Zn²⁺-enhanced composite exhibited a tensile strength of 5.8 MPa and a self-healing efficiency of 99.3%, demonstrating remarkable improvements of 444.6% and 101.7%, respectively, compared to the conventional composite without metal-ligand coordination. This innovation effectively breaks the long-standing trade-off between mechanical strength and self-healing efficiency in traditional polymers. By precisely adjusting the type and concentration of metal ions, the composites exhibit extensive tunability in stress (0.9–6.5 MPa), strain (3.7%–240.0%) and self-healing efficiency (70.4%–109.7%). This tunability enabled the development of multifunctional materials tailored for cutting-edge applications. Benefiting from such adaptive structural characteristics, the material delivers superior conductivity of 123 S·cm⁻¹ and a high EMI shielding efficiency of 56 dB, while exhibiting stable durability for advanced flexible wearable sensor devices. This work pioneers a novel platform for designing self-healing materials with advanced tunable functionalities, offering transformative potential for EMI shielding and sensor technologies.

A multifunctional composite, designated as ZIF-8@LY/ZIF-8@CDs-Eu 3+ , was rationally designed as a fluorescence probe and high-performance photocatalyst for simultaneous detection and degradation of oxytetracycline (OTC). To address the critical challenge of co-encapsulating fluorescein (LY) and Eu 3+ -functionalized carbon dots (CDs-Eu 3+ ) within a single porous particle without functional incompatibility, we proposed a core-shell ZIF-8 architecture, where the etched ZIF-8 core served as the host for LY loading, and the in situ grown ZIF-8 shell was introduced to immobilize CDs-Eu 3+ . The acetic acid etching of the ZIF-8 core created abundant sites to absorb more LY molecules, which further enhanced the OTC removal efficiency. On this basis, a fluorescence “turn-on” ratiometric quantitative detection platform for OTC was established, with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 1.8 nM. Meanwhile, the ZIF-8@LY/ZIF-8@CDs-Eu 3+ composite achieved 99% OTC removal within 300 min under light irradiation, driven by the generated reactive species including superoxide radicals (·O 2 − ), hydroxyl radicals (·OH), and photogenerated holes (h + ). Notably, three parallel degradation pathways of OTC were identified via high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). This work not only provides an innovative strategy for the design of multifunctional MOF-based composites, but also opens a new avenue for the efficient monitoring and elimination of antibiotic residues in complex environmental matrices.

Tea varieties are key factors influencing tea type and flavor quality. However, the key biochemical indicators biochemical indicators associated with tea varietal suitability remain unclear, and the traditional phenol-ammonia ratio is insufficient as an evaluation criterion. Therefore, identifying reliable biochemical markers for evaluating tea varietal suitability is important for optimizing tea processing and product quality. We aimed to identify key biochemical indicators associated with tea varietal suitability for black and green tea processing and to establish a predictive model for evaluating tea varietal adaptability. Molecular biology and targeted metabolomics approaches were used to analyze polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, the expression of three PPO isozymes, and the contents of 60 non-volatile metabolites (NVMs) in fresh leaves from 20 representative tea varieties. Variable importance in projection, S-plot, taste active value, and classification analyses were applied to identify key differential indicators. A predictive model for tea varietal suitability was subsequently developed using data preprocessing and regression analysis. Nine key differential biochemical indicators, including epigallocatechin gallate, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin, epicatechin, catechin, myricetin-3-O-galactoside, theaflavin-3-3′-di-O-gallate, theanine, and glutamic acid, together with three enzyme-related indicators, namely PPO activity and the expression levels of PPO2 and PPO4, were identified. Tea varieties suitable for black tea exhibited high levels of epigallocatechin gallate, epicatechin gallate, theaflavin-3-3′-di-O-gallate, and PPO activity, particularly PPO4 expression. In contrast, tea varieties suitable for green tea showed high levels of epigallocatechin, epicatechin, theanine, glutamic acid, and myricetin-3-O-galactoside content. A 1DER+MINMAX data preprocessing method and predictive model effectively evaluated tea varietal suitability. This study identified key biochemical indicators associated with tea varietal suitability and established a predictive model for evaluating tea adaptability for black and green tea processing. These findings provide theoretical and technical support for the efficient utilization of fresh leaf leaves and tea product development.

A “lignin-first” strategy was proposed employing an acidic DES for the preliminary separation of lignin. The DES, formulated with ZnCl₂, levulinic acid, and ethanol used as an additive (molar ratio of 1:1:2), was used to investigate the effects of pretreatment conditions on the efficiency of lignin separation from pine wood. The results demonstrated that both temperature and pretreatment time were critical factors determining lignin recovery efficiency, with 120 °C and 6 h identified as the optimal reaction conditions. The lignin recovery yield initially increased with higher proportion of DES, followed by a decrease upon further addition of DES. Excessive DES addition resulted in excessive fragmentation of lignin, thereby reducing recovery efficiency. A maximum lignin recovery ratio of 94.12% was achieved under the conditions of 120 °C, 6 h, and a solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:15. Characterization analysis revealed that the extracted lignin exhibited structural features similar to those of milled wood lignin (MWL), along with a relatively low molecular weight (1500–2500 g/mol) and a narrow dispersion coefficient (PDI < 2.0). Hydrolysis of the solid residue confirmed that DES pretreatment effectively enhanced cellulose conversion (increasing from 41.11% to 93.26%) and yielded 36.74% furfural. This study provides valuable insights for future biomass refining processes.

Membrane separation has emerged as a competitive energy-efficient approach for carbon capture and flue gas treatment. Membrane materials and structures are the core of gas separation membranes, which collectively govern gas molecular mass transfer and separation behaviors. Two-dimensional (2D) graphene oxide (GO) porous nanosheets hold great promise for gas separation due to their nanoscale thickness and structural tunability, but they are often limited by low permeability. Herein, we propose a supramolecular strategy to fabricate ZIF-L/GO/Pebax mixed matrix membranes with intercalated network architectures for efficient CO 2 /N 2 separation. Leaf-like ZIF-L expands the interlayer spacing of GO nanosheets and constructs high-speed continuous gas transport pathways within the membrane. This unique intercalated structure provides abundant CO 2 -philic sites, significantly enhancing CO 2 solubility and enabling highly selective gas molecular sieving. Moreover, hydrogen bonds and chelation coordination interactions between ZIF-L/GO and polymer matrix ensure excellent interfacial compatibility while reinforcing structural stability. This supramolecular structural engineering approach effectively mitigates the limitations of traditional membranes, achieving CO 2 permeability of 1000.8 Barrer and CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 45, exceeding the 2008 Robeson upper bound and approaching the 2019 limit. Additionally, the membrane displays superior mechanical properties and long-term operational stability, providing a promising avenue toward high-performance materials for efficient CO 2 capture.

Ultrathin scintillators are key components of high-spatial-resolution X-ray detectors in medical imaging, high-precision nondestructive inspection, and high-energy physics. Currently, the spatial resolution of X-ray imaging detector generally is enabled by high-light-yield scintillators with minimal optical scattering. However, suppressing optical scattering losses typically require the scintillation layers thinner than a few tens of micrometers, which is difficult to obtain through conventional top-down mechanical thinning. Here, a bottom-up method that rapidly growing inch-sized, Eu 3+ /Tb 3+ doped lanthanide oxychloride (LaOCl) films via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is proposed to obtain large-area ultrathin scintillators. The doping Eu 3+ /Tb 3+ ions act as luminescent activators and provide strong red and green scintillation through efficient f-f intra-configurational transitions, which are shielded from the host lattice by the outer 5s 2 5p 6 electron shells, resulting in sharp emission lines and high quantum efficiency. The layered crystal structure of LaOCl further facilitates anisotropic growth, enabling precise control of film thickness from a few atomic layers up to the micrometer scale. The growing LaOCl:Eu 3+ film with thickness of approximately 30 μm shows a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 99.3%, and demonstrating an ultralow X-ray dose-rate detection limit of 143.41 nGy s −1 , owing to efficient energy transfer from the LaOCl host to the activator ions. Furthermore, the growing LaOCl:Eu 3+ /Tb 3+ films exhibit excellent linear response and radiation hardness under X-ray exposure, retaining above 95% of their initial intensity after prolonged cyclic irradiation at 27.8 μGy s −1 for 24,000 s. These results demonstrate CVD-grown LaOCl:Ln films as a promising platform for high-resolution and low-dose X-ray imaging detection. An ultrathin scintillator film is fabricated via an unconventional bottom-up chemical vapor deposition–driven evaporation growth method. The oriented attachment and layer-by-layer stacking of LaOCl:Ln 3+ crystal nuclei enables the fabrication of centimeter-scale ultrathin films with controllable thickness. The doping Eu 3+ and Tb 3+ act as luminescent activators, generating intense red and green emissions through efficient 4f-4f intra-configurational transitions. Owing to the effective shielding of the outer 5s 2 5p 6 electron shells, these transitions exhibit sharp emission lines and exceptionally high quantum efficiency. For LaOCl:Eu 3+ films with a thickness of approximately 30 μm, the photoluminescence quantum yields achieves a near unit of 99.3%, demonstrating an ultralow X-ray detection limits of 143.41 nGy s −1 and outstanding radiation stability.

Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) is a synthetic phenolic antioxidant widely used in edible oils and fat-containing foods. Excessive BHA poses significant risks to human health, thus making rapid and sensitive detection of BHA crucial for health protection. Herein, the Ag 2 CO 3 nanozyme was prepared by the simple precipitation method, which exhibits both laccase-mimic and oxidase-mimic activities. It was found that the oxidase-mimic activity of Ag 2 CO 3 facilitated the conversion of TMB to its blue oxidized form (oxTMB), and subsequent addition of BHA resulted in the formation of a characteristic purple adduct. Additionally, BHA effectively suppressed the laccase-mimic activity of the Ag 2 CO 3 nanozymes. Therefore, a novel colorimetric sensor was constructed using the dual-enzyme-mimic activities as a sensing signal for rapidly detecting BHA in edible oil. The colorimetric sensor achieves limits of detection (LOD) for BHA as low as 1.1 μM in the laccase-mimic channel and 0.08 mM in the oxidase-mimic channel, both of which are substantially lower than the maximum permissible BHA level in edible oils stipulated in Chinese National Food Safety Standard GB 2760. The sensor developed in this work shows great promise for application in the field of edible oil detection.

Coalescence induced by the dynamic evolution of catalysts under catalytic environments has long been a challenge in the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Herein, this study reports a catalyst "hijacking" strategy, which leverages the time-dependent difference during the crystalline-to-amorphous transformation of catalysts to activate the catalytic activity of small-sized crystalline nanoparticles, preventing their coarsening via Ostwald ripening. Simultaneously, the retained nanoparticles exhibit higher density and optimized electronic structures, extending the catalytic lifetime. The successful synthesis of the catalyst relies on the efficient utilization of Mo in open cavities, where the isolated open cavities restrict excessive coalescence of the active components, and the doping of Mo atoms induces the transformation of the active components from amorphous to crystalline. In this structure, the semi-confined space, surface negative charge, and affinity to solvents facilitate the formation of small-sized NPs by isolating and dispersing metal ions. Meanwhile, Fe-Mo bonds significantly prolong the length of CNTs. The combination of Fe and Mo promotes gradual crystallization of NPs, suppresses excessive coalescence of the active components, and optimizes the adsorption energy of C 3 H 6 , thereby extending the catalyst lifetime. Additionally, the bonding between Mo and C atoms favors bulk diffusion of C within Fe NPs, avoiding excessive C deposition inside the NPs and enhancing structural stability. As a result, the CNTs grown with this catalyst exhibit a small tube diameter as low as 5.68 nm and a high ratio (M product /M catalyst ≈14), demonstrating promising application prospects.

The composite membranes were fabricated using electrospinning technology. • 1/SPCeS/1 showed the highest proton conductivity (224.27 mS cm −1 at 90 °C). • 1/SPCeS/1 showed good mechanical properties and oxidation stability. In this work, sulfonated poly (arylene ether ketone sulfone) (SPAEKS) polymers were prepared via condensation polymerization, and sulfonated dopamine-modified cerium oxide (SPD@CeO 2 ) nanoparticles were integrated into the polymer matrix. An array of composite membranes was fabricated using electrospinning. The fillers and composite membranes were analyzed through various characterization methods. The obtained 1/SPCeS/1 (with 1 wt% SPD@CeO 2 added to the spinning solution) fiber composite membrane exhibited good performance. With the intrinsic free radical scavenging effect of CeO 2 and the synergistic effect of sulfonated dopamine, the oxidative stability of 1/SPCeS/1 reached 97.65%, the proton conductivity was 224.27 mS cm −1 (90 °C, 100% RH), and the peak power density reached 794.92 mW cm −2 , which were all verified to be superior to the corresponding values of the pure membrane. The results indicated that the combination of functional nanoparticles and electrospinning technology effectively enhanced the overall performance of the proton exchange membrane. This strategy fully aligns with the core principles of green chemistry, namely using low-toxicity raw materials, adopting mild and energy-saving preparation routes, reducing harmful organic solvents, and providing a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional perfluorinated proton exchange membranes.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful surface analysis technique that significantly amplifies the Raman scattering signals of molecules adsorbed onto metallic nanostructures, enabling highly sensitive detection of the analytes. The development of low-cost, high-performance SERS substrates through facile and straightforward fabrication methods represents a challenging and highly rewarding endeavor. Here, we develop a suspended sandwich Ag/SiO 2 /Ag nanopore array structure based on template-assisted method with significant plasma coupling effects, which shows an ultra-low detection limit (LOD of 2.91 × 10 −11 mol/L) for 4-MBA molecules, excellent sensitivity (EF = 5.76 × 10 8 ) and high uniformity and stability. COMSOL simulation confirms the electromagnetic coupling in the sandwich structure in addition to the hotspots along the nanopore brims. The proposed SERS substrate enables quantitative detection of glyphosate with the concentration down to 4.66 × 10 −9 mol/L and fulfills the requirements for monitoring pesticide residues.

Four HPMC samples are synthesized with molecular weight ranging from 35 to 450 kDa. • Long-chain HPMC causes τ s to peak then drop, while τ d rises monotonically. • Longer-chain HPMC enhances flocculation but deteriorates floc structure. • τ s is governed by competing polymer-bridging and steric-hindrance effects. • τ d increases with HPMC dosage and chain length via stronger polymer interactions. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), one of the most commonly used viscosity-modifying admixtures (VMAs), is extensively employed in fresh cement-based materials. Indeed, the chain length of HPMC greatly influences the rheological behavior of cement pastes. Here, four HPMC samples with distinct molecular weights ( M w ) from 35 to 450 kDa were chemically synthesized to systematically elucidate how chain length governs the rheology of cement pastes and to reveal the underlying mechanisms. Results show that HPMC with shorter chains (H1, H2, and H3 with M w < 220 kDa) induces a monotonic increase in both τ s and τ d with increasing dosage. In contrast, long-chain HPMC (H4 with M w = 450 kDa) causes τ s to rise from 29 to 114 Pa and then decrease beyond 0.3%, reaching 59 Pa at 0.5%, while τ d continues to increase from 45 to 148 Pa. This divergence in τ s suggests a dual role of adsorbed HPMC: longer chains (H4) may simultaneously intensify interparticle attraction through polymer bridging and enlarge particle separation via steric hindrance, the latter eventually overriding the former at higher dosages. The continuous increase in τ d is attributed to the strengthened polymer-polymer interactions with increasing chain length and concentration, promoting the formation of a more rigid polymer network in the interstitial solution that resists applied shear stress. Overall, this work establishes a systematic mechanistic framework describing how HPMC chain length modulates the rheology of cement paste.

Collagen is an ideal raw material for biological fibers, yet achieving long-range structural order and the resultant high-strength fibers without toxic crosslinkers remains a major challenge. This work integrates ultrasonic fragmentation with dialysis concentration to induce a stable lyotropic liquid crystalline (LC) collagen dope at a concentration as low as 3.3%, which is significantly lower than previously reported. Ultrasonic treatment reduced collagen fragment length to 10–30 nm, lowering steric hindrance and enhancing molecular mobility, thereby promoting nematic LC formation. Rheological analysis revealed that at 3.7%, the spinning dope exhibited a characteristic viscosity plateau in the low shear rate range of 1–5 s −1 , indicating shear-induced alignment of nematic LC domains, which defines the optimal spinning window. Using 4.0% LC dope and an optimized ethanol flow rate of 0.30 mL/min in microfluidic spinning process, the resultant collagen fibers achieved a high tensile strength of 2.21 cN/dtex and a thermal denaturation temperature of 120.8 °C. Increasing the spinning dope concentration progressively reduced lateral molecular packing distance, transformed the fiber surface from grooved to smooth, and enhanced thermal stability. This study establishes a rational, crosslinker-free strategy to fabricate high-performance pure collagen fibers with superior mechanical and thermal properties, providing critical theoretical and technical support for their application in absorbable surgical sutures and regenerative medicine.
