Infant formulas are constantly being updated and upgraded, and N-glycans are functional glycans that have not been fully exploited to date. Commercial whey protein materials are often used as basic ingredients in infant formulas. Therefore, it is important to study N-glycans in commercial whey protein materials. We used matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and ion chromatography to analyze N-glycans in bovine lactoferrin (Lf), whey protein isolate (WPI), whey protein concentrate 70 (WPC 70), goat whey protein powder 50, demineralized whey powder 90 (D90), and desalted goat whey powder. The results showed that 30, 6, 28, 16, 8, and 9 N-glycans were found in Lf, D90, desalted goat whey powder, WPI, WPC 70, and goat whey protein powder 50, respectively. A total of four structures of N-glycans were detected in this study. Only bovine Lf and WPC 70 contained fucosylated and sialylated binding (SFN-type) glycan structures. Regarding content, WPC 70 showed the highest yield of 14.5 mg/g, and the degree of sialylation was higher than fucosylation. This study provides a potential basis for the future use of commercial whey protein materials in dairy products such as infant formula.

N-doped Ti 3 C 2 quantum dots (N-Ti 3 C 2 QDs) as the fluorescent nanoprobe were synthesized through inorganic base (i.e. KOH) stripping and solvothermal approach. The N-Ti 3 C 2 QDs displayed well-monodispersed near-spherical particles with average size of 2.3 nm, exhibited brightly blue emission and good stability, and possessed 14.46% of fluorescent quantum yield. Upon addition of Co 2+ or Ag + ions, the fluorescence (FL) of N-Ti 3 C 2 QDs could be quenched significantly. Mechanism investigation indicated that the inner filter and static extinguishing effects are responsible for the Co 2+ or Ag + ions induced FL quenching of the N-Ti 3 C 2 QDs. Based on above outcomes, we developed a simple N-Ti 3 C 2 QDs based fluorescent assay for the simultaneous determination of Co 2+ and Ag + ions, with a low detection limit of 0.21 and 0.10 μM, respectively. The assay was used to determine the content of Co 2+ and Ag + in real samples. This work will provide another way for the synthesis of fluorescent N-Ti 3 C 2 QDs and exploited their application in simultaneous detection of Co 2+ and Ag + .

Herein, multi-layer composite electrodes of MnFe 2 O 4 @carbon nanotubes/carbon cloth (MFO@CNT/CC) are prepared by dip coating and the subsequent hydrothermal method. Flexible conductive carbon cloth (CC) substrate provides a 3D strong base support. The carbon nanotubes (CNT) connected by CC form a conductive network with a large specific area, which is also conducive to electron transfer. The modified MnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles have abundant active sites, which can enhance the electrochemical activity. CNT and MnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles form a tandem structure beneficial to increase the active site and promote the response to heavy metal ions. The MFO@CNT/CC electrode has good detection performance for Cd 2+ (0.25–12 ppm) and Pb 2+ (0.25–12 ppm) and a low detection limit of 0.25 ppm. In the presence of interfering ions, it exhibits a highly selective response to the target ion, with minimal current changes and a range of variations (−3.48–5.59 %). The actual detection recovery is in the range of 97.33–101.17 %, suggesting its practical reliability. Furthermore, we propose a detection and analysis method that combines electrochemistry with machine learning; the model attains a perfect classification accuracy of 100 % for both Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ , underscoring the robustness of the classification. Overall, this work provides innovative composites and performance explorations for advancing high-performance simultaneous detection of heavy metal ions.

Supported nanocatalysts with environmental sustainability and high catalytic performance have attracted much attention. A supported nanocatalyst Co@NSC has been studied in this paper. Porous materials with catalytic properties were prepared by anchoring transition metal cobalt onto porous materials doped with nitrogen. The results of the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) tests demonstrate that the catalyst obtained exhibits an excellent mesoporous structure and a uniform distribution of cobalt elements. The scaffold is rich in N atoms, which can provide enough anchor sites for cobalt to form cobalt-NX. Cobalt groups can improve the catalytic activity of the catalyst. In addition, Co@NSC is porous, the structure has the potential to facilitate the mass transfer of the reactants. In addition, the porous structure of Co@NSC is beneficial to facilitate the mass transfer of reactant. The prepared catalyst performs well in hydrogenating quinolone to corresponding N-formyltetrahydroquinoline. Subsequently, the selectivity and stability of the prepared catalyst were validated.

Graphical Interface effect : A study into the intrinsic role of carbon supports for Fe-N/C alternatives to Pt/C catalysts for oxygen reduction in fuel cells revealed that when immobilized on suitable support, the Fe−N/C demonstrated an improved mass J K that was comparable to that of Pt/C and higher than most reported M−N/C catalysts (see scheme). The mass kinetic current density (mass J K ) of most extensively reported M−N/C catalysts (M represents non-precious metal elements such as Fe, Co, and Cu), a potential alternative to noble metal catalysts in fuel cells, is poorer than that of commercial Pt/C. Thus, deep understanding of the intrinsic roles of carbon supports may contribute to the development of M−N/C catalysts from a practical point of view. Herein, the routinely used carbon supports, i.e. carbon black (CB) and carbon nanotubes (CNT) that have different morphology and crystallinity, were investigated to uncover the factors that affected the mass J K of Fe−N/C in electrocatalytic oxygen reduction. When immobilized on CB, the ionic liquids-derived Fe−N/C exhibited an enhanced mass J K (4.45 A g −1 at 0.80 V vs. RHE) by a factor of 2.14 times, comparable to that of Pt/C (5.79 A g −1 ) and higher than most reported M−N/C catalysts to our best knowledge. In contrast, the CNT support system showed no improvement. It was revealed that a compatible interface between the Fe−N/C precursors and the carbon supports was vital to ensure in-situ growth of a uniform catalyst layer on the supports during pyrolysis. This subsequently promotes the mass J K by exposing more embedded active sites and introducing favorable slit pores for effective mass-diffusion. This work would be promising to address the long-term overlooked challenge of the low mass J K of M−N/C catalysts in replacing noble-metal catalysts for practical fuel cell applications.

Non-Pt catalysts with excellent performance regarding the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) have aroused enormous interest in recent years. Herein, we propose a dual-template method to synthesize a multiscale porous Fe–N–C (FeNC) catalyst. SiO2 and Zn are used as co-templates to produce a multiscale porous structure. Chitosan and glutaraldehyde are used as building blocks to fabricate the frameworks of the hydrogel. After lyophilization and annealing treatments, FeNC aerogel with a multiscale porous structure could be obtained. The as-prepared FeNC catalyst annealed at 900 °C (FeNC-900) exhibits a larger electrochemically active surface area and an improved ORR activity compared to FeNC annealed at other temperatures. FeNC-900 shows a superior ORR performance in comparison with that of commercial Pt/C in terms of the onset potential and half-wave potential, i.e., 0.959 and 0.837 V, which are 28 mV and 10 mV higher than those of Pt/C, respectively. Multiscale porosity is responsible for the outstanding ORR performance of FeNC-900. The electron transfer number of FeNC-900 for the ORR was calculated to be 3.95, which is comparable with that of Pt/C. In addition, the FeNC-900 catalyst possesses an excellent long-term duration and anti-poisoning capacity against methanol crossover. All these results endow the FeNC catalyst with tremendous potential for use in fuel cells.

In recent years, hydrogels with antifouling properties and good biocompatibility have attracted great attention in bio-devices, but most of them are lack of eminent mechanical properties that limit their practical application greatly. In this work, a newly hybrid ion-covalent cross-linked double network (DN) hydrogels with excellent antifouling as well as mechanical properties were prepared by a simple one-pot method based on sodium alginate and a kind of antifouling material, N -hydroxyethyl acrylamide (HEAA). The DN hydrogel have excellent mechanical properties, including high tensile strength (1.32 MPa), high elastic modulus (0.31 MPa) and preeminent fatigue resistance. Besides, the DN hydrogel have good antifouling properties suggested by protein adsorption and cell adhesion experiments. In addition, they also exhibit highly in vitro compatibility. These properties make the DN hydrogels suitable for application in different fields, such as tissue scaffolds, implantable devices and so on.

Novel visible-light-induced UiO-66/BiOI photocatalysts with a p–n junction structure have been prepared for the first time through a facile hydrothermal method. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized using the powder X-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectra, and N 2 adsorption–desorption (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller) techniques respectively. The photodegradation performances of UiO-66/BiOI photocatalysts were evaluated by photodegrading salicylic acid under visible-light irradiation. The UiO-66/BiOI composites displayed much higher photocatalytic efficiencies than pure BiOI under visible light. When the content of UiO-66 was 5.2 wt%, the composite (UiO-66/BiOI-2) has the best photocatalytic activity. Most of the salicylic acid molecules can be degraded in 100 min. The degradation rate of UiO-66/BiOI-2 samples is higher than single BiOI and UiO-66. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of UiO-66/BiOI may be ascribed to the formation of p–n heterojunctions between BiOI and UiO-66, which facilitates the transfer and separation of the photogenerated charge carriers. After recycling of the photocatalyst for five times for the photodegradation of salicylic acid, more than 85% of salicylic acid could still be degraded in the fifth cycle, implying that the as-prepared photocatalysts are highly stable.

Developing low-cost, efficient, and scalable non-precious metal electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains a critical challenge in the field of energy conversion. Among various candidates, Fe-N-doped carbon materials have garnered attention as promising alternatives to commercial Pt/C catalysts for ORR. In this study, we report an Fe-N catalyst synthesized by incorporating iron phthalocyanine withCinnamomum longepaniculatumwaste leaves as the carbon source. This catalyst exhibited an excellent four-electron ORR activity and the half-wave potential (E1/2) reaches 0.875 V, which was superior to that of commercial Pt/C (E1/2= 0.864 V). Additionally, the catalyst exhibits superior methanol tolerance and stability compared to commercial Pt/C. This approach, which utilizes biomass waste for the synthesis of electrocatalysts, not only provides an effective solution for reducing environmental waste but also addresses the issue of sluggish cathodic ORR kinetics in fuel cells, making it suitable for low-cost, large-scale industrial production.

In this study, Fe/N/Cs oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts with high specific surface area, catalytic activity were synthesized using legume biomass with different protein content. The catalytic activity of the Fe/N/C catalysts was confirmed to be related to the protein content of the biomass precursor by characterization and electrochemical tests. The catalysts (named as Fe/N/C-T) from lactone tofu have the highest N/C ratio related to ORR, and the air-cathode loaded with Fe/N/C-T catalysts exhibited the best ORR performance in linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) tests, which was comparable to that of commercial Pt/C catalysts. MFCs with AC(Fe/N/C-T) air-cathode produced a maximum power density of 0.486 mW cm −2 , higher than Pt/C (0.437 mW cm −2 ) with the same loading. In addition, the Fe/N/C-T catalyst demonstrated high stability and resistance to toxicity in long-term operation, which can be an alternative to commercial Pt/C.

We study the non-covalent interactions within complexes and characterize the structure and properties of N-heterocyclic dicarboxylic acid rare earth complexes. The chelating ligand 2,2′-bipyridine-6,6′-dicarboxylic acid (H2bpdc) was reacted with neodymium nitrate hexahydrate and dysprosium nitrate pentahydrate in a solvothermal reaction to produce {[Nd(bpdc)(HCOO)(H2O)2]·H2O}n (A) and [Dy2(bpdc)3(H2O)2(DMF)]·3H2O (B), respectively. Single crystal X-ray diffraction characterization reveals that A is a metal organic framework, with the rare earth center adopting a nine-coordinated tricapped trigonal prism. In contrast, B forms an eight-coordinate triangular dodecahedron. Fluorescence analyses indicate that both A and B have excellent luminescence properties. The thermal stabilities of both complexes were examined using thermogravimetric analysis (TG and DTG), and A has better thermal stability than B.

In this study, the one-pot heterocyclization of nitro compounds with 2,5-hexadione was studied for the synthesis of N-substituted pyrroles via a Paal–Knorr condensation process. The heterogeneous cobalt–nitrogen catalyst (Co–Nx/C-800-AT) was found to be active for this reaction with formic acid. Formic acid served as a hydrogen donor for the transfer hydrogenation, and also acted as an acid catalyst. More importantly, this method was tolerant of other functional groups, and hence various N-substituted pyrroles were produced with good to excellent yields. The Co–Nx/C-800-AT catalyst was highly stable, and could be reused several times without loss of its catalytic activity.
