Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have emerged as promising energy storage systems owing to their high safety, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, their practical application faces critical challenges, including the formation of Zn dendrites and the occurrence of parasitic side reactions. These phenomena not only hinder ion transport kinetics but also cause rapid capacity decay and potential battery failure. To address these limitations, we developed a sustainable double-crosslinked cellulose hydrogel electrolyte by integrating micron-sized cellulose and cellulose nanofibers (CNFs). The hydrogel electrolyte, constructed from cellulose components with distinct size scales, exhibits a well-organized hierarchical porous network structure, which significantly facilitates the migration of zinc ions. Specifically, nanocellulose serves as a reinforcing filler that enhances the mechanical strength of the dual-network electrolyte, thereby inhibiting Zn dendrite growth. Additionally, abundant carboxyl polar functional groups were also introduced as high-affinity Zn 2+ binding sites to mitigate side reactions. Consequently, the assembled Zn//Zn symmetric cells with this electrolyte demonstrate superior cycling stability exceeding 1 100 h at current density of 0.5 mA/cm 2 , along with a high-capacity retention of 79.9% after 1 000 cycles in the Zn//V 2 O 5 battery. Furthermore, this cellulose hydrogel electrolyte is easily accessible and biodegradable, paving the way for the scalable production of high-performance and environmentally friendly energy storage devices.

Diabetic wounds represent a common and challenging complication of diabetes mellitus, characterized by a complex pathological microenvironment that includes excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), chronic inflammation, hypoxia, and impaired nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. These factors collectively contribute to delayed wound healing, increased infection risk, and potential progression to chronic non-healing ulcers. Herein, we constructed a multifunctional injectable hydrogel (Prussian blue nanozyme and S-nitrosothiol-loaded hydrogel, PBE&SNO@HG) co-loaded with multi-enzyme-mimicking Prussian blue nanozymes (PBE) and an ultrasound-responsive nitric oxide (NO) donor (SNO). This composite hydrogel exhibited favorable injectability and tissue adhesiveness. The incorporated PBE nanozymes simultaneously mimicked superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), enabling the scavenging of superoxide anions (⋅O 2 - ) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), thereby reducing oxidative stress levels at the wound site. Additionally, the ultrasound (US)-responsive release of NO promoted angiogenesis and alleviates inflammatory responses in the wound area. Animal experiments demonstrated that this hydrogel system significantly enhances collagen deposition, accelerates re-epithelialization, promotes hair follicle regeneration, and accelerates wound healing. This study demonstrated the synergistic effect of combining antioxidant strategies with gas therapy in diabetic wound treatment, while also indicating that US-responsive hydrogel materials can achieve on-demand release of therapeutic molecules via external field stimulation, thereby providing a novel strategy for chronic wound management.

Gentamicin (GENTA) have been extensively used by humans and animals, however, excessive GENTA resulted in environment and food contamination, and finally threatened human health. Therefore, it is very necessary to establish novel method for quantitative determination of GENTA in real samples. In this investigation, carbon dots incorporated with nitrogen and boron elements (N,B-CDs) with large stokes shift (125 nm) and high fluorescence intensity was designed, synthesized and utilized. In the process, 18 μL of the mixed solution was dropped onto the test strip each time; the test strip was tested by a smartphone and/or a miniaturized fluorimeter to achieve red (R), green (G), blue (B) and fluorescence intensity values after 1 min. The color and fluorescence intensity of the mixture changed obviously with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and GENTA adding. The limit of detection (LOD) of colorimetric and fluorometric dual-response system for GENTA was 0.30 μmol/L and 14.7 nmol/L, respectively. Furthermore, the selectivity and practicality of the system was assessed for other analytes (metal ions and other antibiotics) and real samples, respectively. The system showed excellent recovery (98.4%–103.9%) and outstanding repeatability (relative standard deviation (RSD), 1.2%–4.0%) for fluorometric determination of GENTA in real samples. Moreover, this system was suitable for colorimetric detection of GENTA (recovery, 94.8%–113.4%, RSD, 1.9%–7.9%). The good properties of N,B-CDs and miniaturized fluorimeter were combined for fluorescence determination of GENTA in real samples. And simple colorimetric detection of GENTA could be realized. In brief, we anticipate that this hybrid system could be useful for rapid and onsite detection of GENTA in environment, food, and pharmaceutical samples.

Multidimensional score guided design and tunable boost of LPMO-chitinase complex. • It integrated CBMs substrate affinity and catalytic domains spatial proximity. • The designed fusion CBM 11 enhanced synergistic activity on α-chitin and β-chitin. • Compared to Bc Chi2, NACOS yield increased 6.33 times and 20.16 times, respectively. N- acetylchitosan oligosaccharides (NACOS) show great promise in food, medicine, and agriculture. The synergistic effect of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) and chitinases can overcome kinetic barrier and boost the yield of NACOS from crystalline chitin. However, the enhancement level is highly dependent on the enzyme combination, lacking consistency and predictability. To address this challenge, this study developed a predictable multidimensional framework based on the substrate affinity of carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) and the spatial proximity of catalytic domains, guiding the rational design of LPMO-chitinase complex and the tunable enhancement of synergistic effect. The designed artificial fusion CBM 11 exhibited good catalytic activity. In the α-chitin and β-chitin systems, compared with chitinase ( Bc Chi2) alone, the addition of LPMO ( Bc LPMO1_T3) increased the yield of NACOS by only 0.17-fold and 1.97-fold, while fusion CBM 11 (a multi-enzyme complex of Bc LPMO1_T3 and Bc Chi2) achieved significant increases of 6.33-fold and 20.16-fold, respectively. The degradation rate of β-chitin by 3 μmol/L fusion CBM 11 reached over 85%. In addition, the fusion enzyme exhibited good thermostability and significant tolerance to high concentrations of H 2 O 2 , further demonstrating the application potential in complex reaction systems. This work presents a rational strategy for optimizing multi-enzyme synergistic systems to efficiently degrade chitin and provides a reference for the development of biocatalysts targeting other insoluble polysaccharides.

Conventional thermally conductive polymeric composites are prone to mechanical failures when deployed in dynamic environments, which results in loss of functionality and reduced service life. Herein, self-healing thermally conductive composites are fabricated by dispersing polydopamine (PDA) modified boron nitride (BN) and borate ions into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix. Due to the decreased thermal interface resistance and formation of thermal conduction channels, the 13 vol% BN-PDA/PVA composite endows an enhancement of 562% in thermal conductivity (1.007 W/mK) comparing with pure PVA (0.152 W/mK). In addition, the hydrogen bonds between BN-PDA and PVA chains and the borate bonds in dynamic borax/PVA networks impart a high self-healing efficiency of more than 80% and excellent mechanical properties in BN-PDA/PVA composites. This study provides a straightforward method for the preparation of thermal interface materials with fast recovery and long service life for next generation electronic packaging applications.

Inspired by the stimuli-responsive ability of biological, a variety of hydrogel have been prepared by stimulus, showing great application value in actuators, soft robots, etc. However, it is still challenging to prepare a toughness hydrogel by the way of stimuli-responsive. Herein, we constructed a novel dual-network structure PNIPAM/PVA hydrogel using reversible molecular configuration conversion of PNIPAM chains. Under the stimulus of ethanol, the elastic modulus of PNIPAM/PVA hydrogel can be increased by 47 times (5 times the change of the modulus of sea cucumbers’ tissue) and the stress can be six times of the original. The dynamic borate ester bond formed by the cross-linking of PVA and borax in the hydrogel enables rapid self-healing (η > 99%) within three minutes without external stimulus in the natural environment. In addition, PNIPAM/PVA hydrogels also showed outstanding underwater reversible thermokinetic properties (>25°) based on the hydrophilic/hydrophobic conversion of PNIPAM under thermal stimulation. The successful preparation of ethanol stimulus-enhancing self-healing PNIPAM/PVA hydrogel actuators, provides a new idea for the development of the soft underwater robots.

The protective effect of sea bass protein (SBP)-(−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) covalent complex-stabilized high internal phase (algal oil) Pickering emulsions (HIPPEs) on astaxanthin and algal oils was demonstrated in this study. The SBP-EGCG complex with better wettability and antioxidant activity was formed by the free radical-induced reaction to stabilize HIPPEs. Our results show that the SBP-EGCG complex formed dense particle shells surrounding the oil droplets, and the shells were crosslinked with the complex in the continuous phase to produce a network structure. The rheological analysis demonstrated that the SBP-EGCG complex endowed HIPPEs with high viscoelasticity, high thixotropic recovery, and good thermal stability, which were beneficial for three-dimensional (3D) printing applications. HIPPEs stabilized by SBP-EGCG complex were applied to improve the stability and bioaccessibility of astaxanthin and to delay algal oil lipid oxidation. The HIPPEs might become a food-grade 3D printing material served as a delivery system for functional foods.

Developing multifunctional phase change materials (PCMs) with room-temperature flexibility, moderate photothermal therapy, and antibacterial activity still remains an enormous challenge. In this study, phase change hydrated salts (Na 2 SO 4 ·10H 2 O, SSD) were packaged into a sodium alginate (SA) and polyacrylamide (PAM) double-network hydrogel with the addition of MXene@Ag (MA) nanosheets. The PAM/SA/SSD/MA hydrogels showed high enthalpy (176.0 J/g) and high size retention. Besides, the hydrogel-based sensor exhibited a wide strain sensing range, good sensitivity, and fatigue resistance (800 tensile cycles) due to the robust double-network and electrical MXene@Ag nanosheets, which can monitor subtle and intense human motion. More importantly, benefiting from the synergetic photothermal effect of MXene and Ag, the hydrogel exhibited good photo-thermal energy storage and antibacterial performances, which can be applied in moderate photo-thermal therapy to relieve pain. This research provides a potential avenue for multifunctional phase change hydrogels toward wearable thermal management and human healthcare devices.

Native soy proteins have limited surface properties, but fortunately, it is expected that their foaming behaviors can be improved through the enzymatic cross-linking method. In this paper, by using the cross-linking method with microbial transglutaminase (mTG) as the catalyst, soy protein isolate (SPI), soy β-conglycinin (7S), and soy glycinin (11S) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared in the molten state of the protein induced by dithiothreitol (DTT). We compared the structural characteristics of these nanoparticles, including particle sizes, morphologies, zeta potentials , surface hydrophobicities, changes of spatial structure, and cross-linking degrees. In addition, their foaming properties, including foamabilities, foam stabilities, and bubble diameters, were also tested. The results show that there are no significant differences in the foamabilities between the native soy proteins and their nanoparticles with similar initial foam heights. However, it is found that 11S NPs have enhanced foam stabilities with longer half-lives and smaller changes in bubble size, which is closely related to their high wettability and cross-linking degree. This study may provide references for the application of soy protein nanoparticles as new foam stabilizers to replace the traditional foaming agents in the food industry.

Building stimulus-responsive units in the hydrogel coatings remains challenging for film sensors consisting of alternated layers of inert substrates and hydrogel coatings. An interesting film sensor with a carboxymethyl starch-based hydrogel coating was developed here. The cross-linking networks of carboxymethyl starch play the roles of structure-constructing units and stimulus-controlling units simultaneously, endowing the coatings with thermal sensing and strain sensing capabilities. The dynamic cross-links formed via the boronic ester bonds are temperature-sensitive, releasing or consuming additional acid ions with temperature alteration, and also as primary networks give the hydrogel strength and stretchability with the assistance of semi-penetrated polyacrylamide chains. Therefore, as-prepared flexible film sensors can be used to detect the periodic changes of human temperature and small-scale motion with multiple working modes, discriminating the physical states related to human health. Moreover, this kind of starch-based coating is degradable in a strongly alkaline solution and the inert substrate layer can protect the skin from erosion caused by direct hydrogel-skin contact, and thereby the film sensor is human- and environmentally friendly. This work also proposes a strategy of building temperature-sensitive units in the film sensor via regulating the chemical networks, instead of tuning physical structures.

Food-derived α-glucosidase inhibitory peptides have gained significant interest in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) owing to their favorable safety profiles. Molecular docking combined with molecular dynamics simulation was performed to screen α-glucosidase inhibitory peptides from Ginkgo biloba seed cake (GBSC), and two novel peptides (Met-Pro-Gly-Pro-Pro (MPGPP) and Phe-Ala-Pro-Ser-Trp (FAPSW)) were acquired. The results of molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation suggested that FAPSW and MPGPP could generate stable complexes with 3wy1, and the electrostatic and van der Waals forces played contributory roles in FAPSW and MPGPP binding to 3wy1. The α-glucosidase inhibition assay corroborated that FAPSW and MPGPP had good α-glucosidase inhibition capacity, with IC50 values of 445.34 ± 49.48 and 1025.68 ± 140.78 μM, respectively. In vitro simulated digestion results demonstrated that FAPSW and MPGPP strongly resisted digestion. These findings lay a theoretical foundation for FAPSW and MPGPP in treating T2DM.

Traditional formaldehyde resin adhesives can release harmful substances, which endanger human health and contribute to environmental pollution. The development of alternative high-performance, environmentally benign adhesives is therefore of great importance. In this study, we evaluate the effect of several additives on the properties and performance of soy protein isolate adhesive, a bio-based adhesive. Triglycidyl isocyanurate, a chemically cross-linker, 1,3-dimethyl imidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([MMIM]PF 6 ), a crystalline ionic compound, and borax, which is covalently reactive with hydroxyl groups, were added to soy protein isolate to build a dense network structure. The wet shear strength of the adhesive prepared with all additives was 109% greater than that of the unmodified soy protein isolate adhesive (1.34 vs. 0.64 MPa). This improvement is due to the synergistic enhancement of the bonding strength through covalent cross-linking and hydrogen-bonding interactions. In addition, the anti-fungal properties of the adhesive were significantly improved through the use of chemical additives. This work provides a new approach for the preparation of high-performance, antimicrobial, bio-based adhesives, which will be beneficial in the development of greener alternatives to commonplace chemicals.
