In this study, three types of β -sitosterol-based oleogels ( β -sitosterol + γ -oryzanol oleogels, β -sitosterol + lecithin , oleogels and β -sitosterol + monostearate oleogels), loaded with astaxanthin, were employed as the oil phase to create oleogel-based emulsions (SO, SL, and SM) using high-pressure homogenization. The microstructure revealed that fine-scale crystals were dispersed within the oil phase of the droplets in the β -sitosterol oleogel-based emulsion. The bioaccessibility of astaxanthin was found to be 58.13 %, 51.24 %, 36.57 %, and 45.72 % for SM, SL, SO, and the control group, respectively. Interestingly, the release of fatty acids was positively correlated with the availability of astaxanthin (P = 0.981). Further analysis of FFAs release and kinetics indicated that the structural strength of the oil-phase in the emulsions influenced the degree and rate of lipolysis. Additionally, the micellar fraction analysis suggested that the nature and composition of the oleogelators in SM and SL also impacted lipolysis and the bioaccessibility of astaxanthin. Furthermore, interfacial binding of lipase and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) measurements revealed that the oleogel network within the oil phase of the emulsion acted as a physical barrier, hindering the interaction between lipase and lipid. Overall, β-sitosterol oleogel-based emulsions offer a versatile platform for delivering hydrophobic molecules, enhancing the bioavailability of active compounds, and achieving sustained release.

The majority of natural fungal β-glucans exhibit diverse biological functionalities, such as immunomodulation and anti-inflammatory effects, attributed to their distinctive helix or highly branched conformation This study utilized β-glucan with helix conformation and high-viscosity extracted from Hericium erinaceus , employing freeze-thaw and solvent exchange strategies to induce multiple hydrogen bonding between molecules, thereby initiating the self-assembly process of β-glucan from random coil to stable helix conformation without chemical modifications. Subsequently, the natural bioactive compound tannic acid was introduced through physical entanglement, imparting exceptional antioxidant properties to the hydrogel. The HEBG/TA hydrogel exhibited injectable properties, appropriate mechanical characteristics, degradability, temperature-responsive tannic acid release, antioxidant activity, and hemostatic potential. In vivo experiments using skin full-thickness defect and deep second-degree burn wound models demonstrated significant therapeutic efficacy, including neovascularization, and tissue regeneration. Moreover, the HEBG/TA hydrogel demonstrated its ability to regulate cytokines by effectively inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators (TNF-α, IL-6), while simultaneously enhancing the expression of cell proliferation factor KI-67 and markers associated with angiogenesis such as CD31 and α-SMA. This study highlights the potential of combining natural β-glucan with bioactive molecules for skin repair.

High oxygen evolution overpotential and low corrosion resistance are regarded as the main drawbacks of anode materials in zinc electrowinning . To improve the electrocatalytic activity of oxygen evolution reactions (OER) and reduce energy consumption in zinc electrowinning, a Co 3 O 4 nanoparticle-modified PbO 2 anode was prepared on a Ti substrate with Sn-SbO X as an interlayer through pulse electrodeposition . The surface morphology, phase composition, and electrochemical properties of the as-prepared anode were systematically investigated. The introduction of Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles refined the crystal size of PbO 2 and increased the surface roughness of the anode. Electrochemical tests suggested the excellent electrocatalytic activity of the Co 3 O 4 nanoparticle-modified PbO 2 anode. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles reduced the OER free energy (1.58 eV) and that pulse electrodeposition reduced the PbO 2 crystal size and increased the active surface area of the anode. In the simulated zinc electrowinning test, an improved current efficiency (90.6 %) was achieved, and the low energy consumption (2,508.29 kW·h) for zinc production per ton was significantly reduced as compared with that for the conventional Pb-0.75 %Ag anode. The lifetime of the modified electrode is increased by approximately 36.8 %. This provides a reference for the design and development of anode materials with high oxygen evolution activity and strong corrosion resistance in zinc electrowinning systems.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) remains a major challenge in clinical treatment due to its multivariate pathology. Developing an oral formulation that encapsulates and delivers multiple active ingredients to target colon tissues by suppressing intestinal inflammation and restoring the intestinal barrier is crucial for effectively treating UC. Here, we developed rhubarb-derived nanovesicles (RNs) and a supramolecular hydrogel platform formed by furfural-functionalized chitosan-mannose polymer and synthesized 3-maleimide HP-β-CD, with kaempferol (Kae) integrated into the hydrophobic cavity. The hydrogel's cross-linking network effectively encapsulates RNs, forming the Kae/CMCHD@RNs system. Rheology, SEM, TGA, degradation behavior, in vitro drug release, and a macrophage-targeted permeability test were performed. The results indicate that the hydrogel utilizes pH/enzyme sensitivity to ensure sustained release in the colon, while also facilitating targeted delivery to macrophages. In vivo imaging further reveals a prolonged local drug retention time in the colon. Moreover, both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate RNs and Kae exhibit synergistic therapeutic effects for UC, including inflammation reduction, oxidative stress alleviation, M1-to-M2 macrophage repolarization, and restoration of the intestinal barrier. Consequently, this study underscores the potential of Kae/CMCHD@RNs as a promising therapeutic approach for managing UC.

In light of the widespread use of fossil fuels and the resulting environmental pollution, it is crucial to develop efficient photocatalysts for renewable energy applications that utilize visible light. Organic photocatalysts based on β-ketoenamine offer several advantages, including facile preparation, high stability, structural controllability, and excellent photovoltaic properties. However, in previous studies, the synthesis of porous organic polymers (POPs) often involved long, high-temperature processes. In this study, POPs with donor (D)–acceptor (A) structure were constructed by utilizing various branched bridging groups and 2,4,6-triformylphloroglucinol, across multiple temperature gradients. Through adjustments in hydrothermal temperature, we successfully synthesized a series of POPs with varying enol–keto structure ratios. Among these POPs, the dimethoxybenzidine-POPs (DMDPOPs) with methoxy electron-rich branched chains exhibited superior photovoltaic performance, electron transfer rate, and photocatalytic activity compared to the dihydroxybenzidine-POPs (DHDPOPs) with electron-deficient hydroxyl branched chains. Notably, DMDPOP-30 demonstrated outstanding performance, achieving a conversion rate of 98% within 3 h. Additionally, other POPs exhibited favorable conversions (90%), further confirming the feasibility of this synthetic approach. Moreover, the synthesis of DMDPOP-30 was achieved under mild conditions at room temperature, highlighting its significant potential for practical applications.

Ca-montmorillonite (Ca-MMT) was first modified with different amount of two different kinds of surfactants to obtain organo-montmorillonites (OMMTs) directly via ion exchange between Ca 2+ and alkyl ammonium cations. Then remained Ca 2+ in OMMTs was reacted with pimelic acid (HA) to obtain CaHA-OMMTs. PP/CaHA-OMMT composites were prepared. Results of FT-IR demonstrate the existence of long-chain alkyl in OMMTs, and CaHA in CaHA-OMMTs. The reaction between HA and OMMT could lead to an increase in d-spacing value of clay. CaHA-OMMTs with high CaHA contents and obviously increased d-spacing values were obtained. Results of WAXD and TEM show exfoliated clay platelets in PP/CaHA-OMMT composites. The obviously increased T c , and the high β-phase content in PP/CaHA-OMMT composites demonstrate the high β-nucleation efficiency of CaHA-OMMTs. Composites with higher content of β-phase epitaxial crystallized on exfoliated clay platelets display largely improved impact strength .

Hollow β-Mo2C/N-doped carbon composite nanospheres constructed by mesoporous ultrathin carbon nanosheets anchored with ultrasmall β-Mo2C nanoparticles were synthesized through a facile green process. Nanobubbles generated by ethanol–water exchange were utilized as templates for the core, while the precipitates in the solution were directly adopted as the emulsion stabilizer and the shell. Upon the self-polymerization of dopamine, a robust shell consisting of the Mo–polydopamine complex was formed. The size of the as-obtained hollow Mo–polydopamine nanospheres can be tuned by varying the type of gas, which is proportional to the supersaturation of gas. These precursors of hollow Mo–polydopamine nanospheres were then converted into hollow β-Mo2C/N-doped carbon composite nanospheres by high-temperature carbonization treatment. The N-doped carbon matrix can act as an electron conductor and facilitate the prevention of the migration and aggregation of the Mo2C nanoparticles, while the ultrafine Mo2C nanoparticles can achieve maximum material utilization for hydrogen evolution electrocatalysis. In addition, the mesoporous 2D nanosheets combined with their constructed 3D hollow structures can expose numerous active catalytic sites while enabling free diffusion of the electrolyte and mass transfer. As a result, the hollow β-Mo2C/N-doped carbon composite nanospheres exhibit low overpotentials and robust cycling stability in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes.

A new multifunctional β-cyclodextrin-sodium xanthogenate (β-CDX) was successfully synthesized by a one-step process and applied to remove Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. The characteristics and chelation mechanisms of β-CDX were investigated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the influences of various operating parameters such as pH (lime dosage), the order of the additions, β-CDX dosage, and the initial concentration of Pb(II) on the removal capacity of β-CDX and the characteristics of the products were systematically evaluated. The results demonstrated that the optimal removal effect for Pb(II) was achieved when β-CDX was used rather than using lime alone. In addition, it was more effective to add β-CDX to the working solutions prior to adding the lime than adding β-CDX after the lime. The use of 0.05 g/L of β-CDX was effective for the removal of Pb(II) according to the residual concentration when the initial concentration was 100 mg/L at different pH values. The maximum removal rate of the Pb(II) ions was 98% for all initial concentrations and the products were larger (size = 137.9 μm) and looser ( D f = 1.73) at an optimum pH range from 9 to 12. The characterization results confirmed that the RC(S)SNa in the β-CDX was the main contributor to the chelation of the Pb(II). These properties of β-CDX make it a promising compound for the treatment of wastewater contaminated by hazardous metal ions.

The inclusion complex (sulfated-β-CD@NAA) of sulfated β-cyclodextrin and α-naphthylacetic acid was synthesized for adsorption of low concentrations of thorium from aqueous solutions. The structure and property of sulfated-β-CD@NAA were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric, X-ray diffraction, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, specific surface area measurement and scanning electron microscopy. The characterization analysis confirmed the formation of new solid phase. The results indicated that α-naphthylacetic acid embedded into the cavity of sulfated β-cyclodextrin partly from the secondary face and the thermal stability of inclusion complex was significantly increased. The experiments were designed by Box–Behnken design combined with response surface methodology. The adsorption parameters of pH value, contact time, initial concentration were used as the independent variables and their effects were investigated on the Th(IV) adsorption capacity. Second-order polynomial regression models were derived and analysis of variance was utilized to judge the adequacy of the chosen models. The maximum Th(IV) adsorption capacity (12.75 mg g −1 ) was achieved under the following conditions: pH value 2.5, contact time 35 min, initial concentration 30 mg L −1 . Prediction of models was in good agreement with experimental results. The experimental adsorption kinetic data followed a pseudo-second-order equation with the correlation of 0.9996, indicating the chemical adsorption. The obtained equilibrium isotherm data were fitted well with Langmuir model in the concentration range considered. The thermodynamic parameters ( ∆H 0 < 0, ∆S 0 < 0, ∆G 0 < 0) indicated that the adsorption process was exothermic and spontaneous. Regeneration of Th(IV)-loaded sulfated-β-CD@NAA with 0.1 M HNO 3 solution, and the regenerated sulfated-β-CD@NAA can be reused for adsorption of Th(IV).

In this study, an active gel of κ-carrageenan (KC) loaded with carvacrol/hydroxylpropyl-β-cyclodextrin (CAR/HPβCD) composite was prepared, its antibacterial property and application in strawberry preservation were evaluated. The successful preparation of CAR/HPβCD composite was verified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and 1 H NMR, and the embedding mechanism was further elucidated by the molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. Then the CAR/HPβCD composites were incorporated into KC to fabricate the active gels. The KC-based gels with great thermal reversibility presented sol states at high temperature and formed gels upon cooling. During the cooling process, KC transformed from random coil conformations to rigid helical rods. A large three-dimensional network structure was eventually constructed through the continuous aggregation of the double helices. It showed that the concentrations of the composites affected both the microstructures and properties of the gels. Low composite concentrations were beneficial to increase the hardness, gumminess and chewiness of the gels, while high composite concentrations could remarkably improve the water retention, freeze-thaw stability and in vitro antibacterial activity of the gels. The antibacterial activity of the gel containing 20% CAR/HPβCD composite against staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus) could last 15 days. Furthermore, the active gel used as a fresh-keeping coating for strawberry preservation could effectively delay the decline of weight, titratable acidity (TA), total soluble solids (TSS) and firmness of strawberries during the storage time, and reduce the number of rotten strawberries by three quarters compared with the control group within 7 days. The active gel reported in this study was a promising material for food preservation.

In this study, the β-cyclodextrin encapsulated betanin (BET@β-CD) with improved thermal stability and retention as well as the berberine (BBR) with aggregate induced luminescence effect were incorporated into corn amylose (CA) biomatrix to develop colorimetric/fluorescent dual-channel smart film. Results shown that the added functional components were uniformly distributed in the film matrix. The high tensile strength (78.87%), low water solubility (31.15%) and water vapor permeability (1.24 × 10 −10 g Pa −1 s −1 m −1 ) of the film predicted its acceptable stability. It was worth mentioning that the film displayed excellent responsiveness to volatile ammonia (0.025–25 mg/mL) with at least 4 times recyclability. Application experiment demonstrated that the film can achieve macroscopic dynamic monitoring of the freshness of shrimps stored at 25 °C, 4 °C, −20 °C under daylight (red to yellow) and UV light (yellow-green to blue-green). Thus, the study suggests an attractive and effective strategy for constructing dual-mode smart packaging materials for food freshness detection.

This study developed a dual-network hydrogel patch loaded with Dictyophora indusiata β-glucans to enhance diabetic wound healing. The hydrogel combines a flexible primary network formed by polymerized sulfobetaine methacrylate with a rigid secondary alginate network crosslinked via metal ions. The resulting material demonstrates favorable mechanical properties for wound care, achieving 600 % elongation at break, 3.12 MPa compressive strength, and 1.5 kPa tissue adhesion strength. These characteristics meet with the physical requirements necessary for effective diabetic wound management. Furthermore, the β-glucans derived from Dictyophora indusiata , which serve as the main bioactive component, endowed the hydrogel patch with significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Cellular experiments have demonstrated that the hydrogel patch significantly reduces reactive oxygen species levels in cells and inhibits inflammatory responses. In animal wound model, diabetic wound treated with a hydrogel patch achieved a closure rate of 98.26 % by the second week. Additionally, histological analyses revealed that the hydrogel patch significantly facilitates angiogenesis, collagen deposition, and re-epithelialization in diabetic wound. Consequently, the hydrogel patch based on β-glucans from Dictyophora indusiata appears to be an effective agent for promoting wound healing, thereby offering a novel therapeutic strategy for the repair of diabetic wound.
