In this study, hydrogels generated by the Schiff base reaction between citral and chitosan (CS) were used for the first time to improve the anti-bacterial property of forward osmosis (FO) membranes. The composite membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Water contact angle (WCA), Zeta potential and confocal laser scanning microscopic (CLSM). In the FO filtration experiment, the membrane performance of TFC-1 with 1 M sodium chloride solution as the draw solution and deionized water as the feed solution was the best, with the water flux of 25.54 ± 0.7 L m −2 h −1 and the reverse salt flux of 4.7 ± 0.4 g m −2 h −1 . Although the hydrogel coating produced a certain hydraulic resistance, the flux of the modified membrane was only reduced by about 8%, compared with the unmodified membrane. However, the anti-bacterial property ( Pseudomonas aeruginosa ) and anti-fouling properties (bovine serum protein and lysozyme protein) of the modified membranes were improved, showing good antibacterial properties (99%) and flux recovery rate (over 90%). The modified method has the advantages of easy access to raw materials, simple operation and no risk of secondary pollution, which can effectively reduce the cost of chemical cleaning and extend the service life of the membrane. The modification of membrane by chitosan-based hydrogel is a promising option in the field of membrane anti-bacteria.

Carboxymethyl chitosan (C-CTS) was firstly reported as a water soluble binder for LiFePO 4 cathode in Li-ion batteries. The electrochemical performances of LiFePO 4 cathode with C-CTS binder was investigated and compared with the conventional water-soluble sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and the commercial non-aqueous polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF). LiFePO 4 cathode with C-CTS exhibited a comparable cycling performance, but better rate capability than that of CMC and PVDF, retaining 65% capacity of C/5 at 5 C rate as compared with 55.9% and 39.4% for CMC and PVDF, respectively. In addition, LiFePO 4 cathode with C-CTS exhibited excellent cycling performance at 60 °C, retaining 91.8%/62.1% capacity after 80 cycles at 1 C/10 C, respectively.

A novel and environmentally friendly heterogeneous catalyst has been prepared through the wet impregnation of copper(I) species onto the highly porous chitosan microspheres (CuI/PCMS). This novel CuI/PCMS heterogeneous catalyst with no additional ligands is much better than CuI homogeneous catalysts when applied in Heck reactions. Moreover, the reaction conditions are much milder than those for the similar copper catalysts mediated cross-coupling reactions reported in the literature. PCMS has been demonstrated not only the excellent solid support, but also have many unique functional groups to chelate the copper (I) species to enhance its catalytic activity.

The exploration of methods to produce biomaterials with antibacterial properties in ultra-small scales is of great scientific and technological interest. Here, we reported a microfluidic spinning approach to prepare a novel film combined with konjac glucomannan (KGM), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). The film was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. This film was transparent, orderly, thermally stable, and uniform in size, with an average width less than 1 μm. Also, the film exhibited excellent antibacterial efficiency (97.1% against E. coli , 99.7% against S. aureus , 97.3% against S. enterica and 99.9% against B. subtilis ) in our antibacterial test. In addition, the film promoted wound healing with the advanced development of neovascularization and hair follicles. This strategy provides a facile and green pathway for the construction of biomaterial films for medical applications.

The huge volume change of silicon anode during cycling results in unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI), causing rapid performance degradation . Natural SEI layer has a heterogeneous structure, results in the inhomogeneous Li + diffusion. The repeated destruction and regeneration of SEI aggravate the inhomogeneity of Li + diffusion at the interface, leading to non-uniform alloy reaction in the Si bulk. In this work, the silicon surface is passivated by an ultrathin uniform chitosan layer with abundant lithiophilic groups. The capacity of chitosan-coated Si (Si@CS) could reach 1500 mAh g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 , and the capacity retention remains 91% after 400 cycles. It is demonstrated that the oxygen and nitrogen atoms in chitosan are coordinated with Li + , providing uniformly distributed Li + transfer sites, results in a homogeneous Li + flux in the surface layer. Interestingly, a nano-scale ordered atomic arrangement is observed in the delithiated Si@CS, which contributes to more stable and reversible lithiation/delithiation reaction of the Si@CS electrode. It is proposed that optimizing the reaction interface on the Si surface is able to alter the Li-ion diffusion kinetics and structure transition behavior of silicon, which can improve the structure reversibility and stability during cycling.

Solid phosphoric acid (SPA) catalysts with different carriers were prepared and used for catalytic fast pyrolysis of poplar wood to produce levoglucosenone (LGO), a valuable anhydrosugar derivative that can be used in various organic synthesis applications. Pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) experiments were performed to evaluate the catalytic capabilities of these catalysts under different reaction conditions. The results indicated that SPA catalyst prepared with the SBA-15 carrier exhibited the best catalytic capability for selectively producing LGO. Both the catalytic pyrolysis temperature and catalyst-to-biomass ratio affected the pyrolytic products greatly. The maximal LGO yield reached as high as 8.2 wt% from poplar wood, obtained at the pyrolysis temperature of 300 °C and the catalyst-to-biomass ratio of 1. The by-products during the catalytic pyrolysis process were mainly acetic acid (AA) and furfural (FF). In addition, the SPA catalyst possessed better catalytic capability than the liquid phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 ) catalyst to produce LGO.

A dual-emission ratiometric fluorescent sensing film for metal ion detection is designed. This dual-emission film is successfully prepared from chitosan, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ), and gold nanoclusters (Au NCs). Here, it is shown that the g-C 3 N 4 not only serves as the fluorescence emission source, but also enhances the mechanical and thermal stability of the film. Meanwhile, the Au NCs are adsorbed on the surface of chitosan film by the electrostatic interaction. The as-prepared dual-emission film can selectively detect Cu 2+ , leading to the quench of red fluorescence of Au NCs, whereas the blue fluorescence from g-C 3 N 4 persists. The ratio of the two fluorescence intensities depends on the Cu 2+ concentration and the fluorescence color changes from orange red to yellow, cyan, and finally to blue with increasing Cu 2+ concentration. Thus, the as-prepared dual-emission film can be worked as ratiometric sensing paper for Cu 2+ detection. Furthermore, the film shows high sensitivity and selectivity, with low limit of detection (LOD) (10 ppb). It is observed that this novel gold-cluster-based dual-emission ratiometric fluorescent sensing paper is an easy and convenient way for detecting metal ions. It is believed that this research work have created another avenue for the detection of metal ions in the environment.

A nanocomposite soft actuator based on porous high-conductivity electrode membrane, which was composed of biopolymer cellulose mixed with chitosan and highly conductive nanoparticles generated by reduced graphene oxide encapsulated multi-walled carbon nanotube, was developed in this paper. No new substance was discovered in the regenerated electrode layer through the scanning analysis from FT-IR and XRD. Actuators exhibited significant enhancement in peak to peak displacement, which was 3.64 times increased than the traditional value at 5 V 0.1 Hz. With the test of solid-state electric double layer capacitor, actuators showed the highest specific capacitance (10.695 F g −1 ) at the current density of 1 A g −1 , the lowest internal resistance (9.2 Ω g −1 ) in the frequency range of 10 5 –10 −2 Hz, and the lowest energy density (901 Wh kg −1 ) at the current density of 10 A g −1 , which demonstrated the absolute advantages in the conductivity and channels for electrons. These findings suggest that research on porous high-conductivity electrode layer holds great promise in the further study of higher performance actuators.

Chitosan derivative-based self-healable hydrogels with enhanced mechanical properties are reported, which were prepared by polymerization of acrylic acid (AAc) in 2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (HACC) solution. The PAAc/HACC hydrogels exhibit tensile fracture stress as high as 3.31 MPa and a Young's modulus of 2.53 MPa. They can maintain their original shape after 30 repeated compression cycles under various strain conditions, with a compression stress of more than 60 MPa at 99% strain. The damaged PAAc/HACC hydrogels can heal together in the presence of a NaCl salt solution with a self-healing efficiency of up to 61%. In addition, the PAAc/HACC hydrogels have high ionic conductivity and can serve as electrolytes for supercapacitors. The analysis suggests that all these good properties of the PAAc/HACC hydrogels mainly result from their high-density dynamic ionic interactions structure.

A water-soluble, positively charged polymer is obtained by copolymerizing chitosan with hypromellose, and the evaluation of its biocompatibility and the capacity for the loading of exogenous agents is performed. Films based on hypromellose grafted chitosan (HGC) are employed as a matrix to fabricate composite films by dehydration-triggered aggregation of copper nanoclusters (NCs). The resulting HGC/Cu NC films are transparent and exhibit an aggregation-induced emission enhancement of copper NCs, with a resulting photoluminescence quantum yield of 42%. The application of these orange emitting films as color converters for fabrication of remote light-emitting devices is demonstrated.

Fast curing hydrogels are highly valuable in the skin care industry. Multi-arm polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a commonly used crosslinking agent for the preparation of fast curing hydrogels. However, the hydrogel preparation using multi-arm PEG crosslinking agents usually requires the end group modifications of reactants, which makes the preparation process complicated and produces hydrogels with low curing rates. In the present study, a fast in situ curing hydrogel, 4-arm-PEG-succinimidyl carbonate/carboxymethyl chitosan (PEG-SC/CMCS), was prepared using 4-arm-PEG-SC as the crosslinking agent and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), a derivative of natural polysaccharide with excellent comprehensive properties, as the framework without any end groups modified. The structure and properties of the prepared hydrogel were characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, rheology and swelling kinetics. The effects of reaction conditions on the structure and properties of hydrogel were investigated. The PEG-SC/CMCS hydrogel exhibited pH-sensitive swelling behaviors. Its application potential in skin care products is demonstrated with its excellent sustained-release performance of Vitamin C, a model drug for skin treatment, and high adsorption capacity of heavy metal ions that are easily deposited on skin surface. Our work has provided a new strategy for building multifunctional gel materials for skin care and offered a PEG-SC/CMCS hydrogel with great application potentials.
