Overcoming one of most challenging limitations of bare TiO 2 with large bandgap can be achieved by rational design and fabrication of heterostructures. Multicomponent sulfides with a nature of tunable band structure can be a good alternative to decorating TiO 2 , but there remains a major trade-off between the high efficiency and the long-term durability, so the stability issue must be addressed upon the use of sulfides. Here, an effective strategy is demonstrated with Bi-doped AgIn 5 S 8 (Bi-AgIn 5 S 8 ) decorated TiO 2 photoanode, where twofold enhancement of the photocurrent is achieved. More importantly, it is the first time to integrate polydopamine passivation layer and AgIn 5 S 8 for simultaneously enhancing the solar conversion efficiency and stability. The incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency value is tuned up to 45% (0.4 V vs Ag/AgCl), and the photocurrent density can keep for 90.8% after 5 h. Corresponding hydrogen evolution rate has increased to 8.6 µmol h −1 , which is three times higher than that of bare TiO 2 .

A micro-nano coating with controllable wettability is constructed on Ni foam using the dipping coating method, incorporating organic polydopamine (PDA) and 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane, and inorganic SiO 2 nanoparticles. PDA has the properties of controlling wettability, strong adhesion, and abundant grafting sites. The water contact angle (WCA) of modified Ni foam is controlled in the range of 0–151.5°. The stability measurement displays that modified Ni foam packings exhibit excellent acid and alkali resistance as well as mechanical stability to fluid erosion under microenvironment. Compared with non-modified (131.5°) and superhydrophilic (0°) Ni foam packings, the maximum ratios of mass transfer enhancement for the superhydrophobic (151.5°) Ni foam packing are 35.6 % and 160.2 %, respectively. Empirical correlations of the gas–liquid mass transfer coefficient and friction factor are established considering the effect of the WCA, and errors between predicted values and experimental values are within ± 15 % and ± 10 %, respectively.

In order to enhance the mechanical properties of lattice structure parts made of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) prepared by selective laser sintering (SLS) technology, this study employed the oxidative self-polymerization of dopamine (DA) to prepare polydopamine-modified silicon carbide whiskers (PDA-SiC) fillers with a core-shell structure. These fillers were uniformly dispersed in a waterborne polyurethane (WPU) to form a coating solution, which was then used to prepare TPU printed parts with a uniform PDA-SiC/WPU coating structure through post-treatment impregnating-curing processes. The coated TPU parts exhibited tensile strength, elongation at break, and room temperature compressive strength of 8.37 MPa, 610.2%, and 1.062 MPa, respectively, representing improvements of 40.9%, 33.2%, and 353.3% compared to pure TPU parts. This approach effectively enhanced the mechanical performance of SLS-formed TPU parts, strengthening their application in the field of flexible lattice structure parts.

Calcium-overload-mediated tumor therapy has received considerable interest in oncology. However, its efficacy has been proven to be inadequate due to insufficient calcium ion concentration at the tumor site coupled with challenges in facilitating efficient calcium uptake by tumors, leading to unsatisfactory therapeutic outcomes. In the present study, calcium carbonate nanoshell mineralized ferric polydopamine nanoparticles (Fe-PDA@CaCO3 NPs) were prepared for achieving Ca2+-overload-mediated tumor therapy. Upon entering the tumor site, the pH-responsive CaCO3 layer, acting as a “Ca2+ storage pool”, rapidly degraded and released high quantities of free Ca2+ within the weakly acidic environment. The Fe-PDA core, with its excellent photothermal conversion properties, could significantly increase the temperature upon exposure to near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation, thereby activating the TRPV1 channel and leading to a large influx of released Ca2+ into the cytoplasm. Furthermore, the exposed Fe-PDA core could react with the tumor-overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to efficiently produce hydroxyl radicals (•OH), significantly increasing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and thus inhibiting the activity of the Ca2+ efflux pump, resulting in a high intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Ultimately, the increase in calcium/ROS levels could disrupt mitochondrial homeostasis and activate the apoptosis pathway. The current work presents a promising approach for tumor therapy using photothermal-enhanced calcium-overload-mediated ion interference therapy and chemodynamic therapy.

Serum Cystatin C (CysC) is an impressive marker for early diagnosis of renal dysfunction. In this work, we established a novel electrochemical immunosensor based on Fe 3 O 4 /AuNPs-MWCNTs@PDA nanocomposite for the detection of CysC. The Fe 3 O 4 /AuNPs-MWCNTs@PDA nanozyme complex by polydopamine encapsulation can not only carry massive detection antibodies, but also bind the electroactive substance toluidine blue (TB) through electrostatic adsorption. By immobilizing AuNPs onto the electrode to bind the capture antibody (Ab1), we constructed a sandwich electrochemical immunosensor with low cost, high sensitivity, and repeatability. The detection range is 3.9–125.0 ng/mL with a significant linear relationship between the current peak difference (ip) and logarithm of the CysC concentration. Moreover, the detection limit of the immunosensor is 0.157 ng/mL. We have successfully utilized this novel immunosensor to detect CysC in human serum samples, and these results have implications for its potential use in clinical application.

A magnetic shell-structured nano-catalyst was prepared by self-polymerization of dopamine wrapped by ferric oxide as the carrier, which was loaded with palladium nanoparticles (Pd/PDA@Fe3O4). The presence of magnetic Fe3O4made it easy for nanoscale palladium particles to recover and prevent the loss of palladium nanoparticles that is unavoidable in traditional usage and preparation procedures. The catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermal weight loss analysis, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy, and magnetic properties analysis. The catalytic performance of the prepared catalyst was investigated taking 4-nitrophenol (10 mg/L) and rhodamine B (15 mg/L) as the target pollutants. The results showed that under the conditions of 35 °C, pH = 7 and a catalyst dosage of 3 mg, the catalytic reduction efficiency of 4-nitrophenol, rhodamine B, and the mixture of them all can reach 99%. The catalytic efficiency of Pd/PDA@Fe3O4remained above 90% after being used 10 times. The shell structure of Fe3O4made it possible and easy to recover and recycle the nanoscale palladium, which was a real problem in the usage of nano-catalysts. At the same time, the problem of separation and recovery of palladium nano-catalyst is solved by magnetism, which provides research ideas for the recycling and utilization of nano-materials.

Printing and dyeing wastewater can cause serious environmental pollutant and must be treated to meet the emission standards before discharge. In this study, we report a method to prepare nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) particle-immobilized cotton (nZVI@cotton) fabrics assisted by polydopamine (PDA) deposition using cotton fabrics as the substrate. The mechanical property tests of cotton fabric revealed a significant improvement in the breaking strength after deposition of PDA. The pollutant removal capability of nZVI@cotton fabric was evaluated using rhodamine B and Cr(VI) as models. The decolorization efficiency of rhodamine B could be up to 79.45% and Cr(VI) removal efficiency was 70.74% within 60 min, respectively. In addition, the iron content, different nZVI@cotton fabric system, the effect of pollutant composition and reusability of nZVI@cotton fabric were systematically investigated. Results showed that nZVI@cotton fabric prepared with the assistance of PDA was a kind of comparable wastewater purification material with the advantages of high removal efficiency to rhodamine B and Cr(VI) ions and easy to be recycled.

With the ever-increasing challenge of heavy metal pollution, the imperative for developing highly efficient adsorbents has become apparent to remove metal ions from wastewater completely. In this study, we introduce a novel magnetic core–shell adsorbent, Fe 3 O 4 @UiO-66-PDA. It features a polydopamine (PDA) modified zirconium-based metal–organic framework (UiO-66) synthesized through a simple solvothermal method. The adsorbent boasts a unique core–shell architecture with a high specific surface area, abundant micropores, and remarkable thermal stability. The adsorption capabilities of six metal ions (Fe 3+ , Mn 2+ , Pb 2+ , Cu 2+ , Hg 2+ , and Cd 2+ ) were systematically investigated, guided by the theory of hard and soft acids and bases. Among these, three representative metal ions (Fe 3+ , Pb 2+ , and Hg 2+ ) were scrutinized in detail. The activated Fe 3 O 4 @UiO-66-PDA exhibited exceptional adsorption capacities for these metal ions, achieving impressive values of 97.99 mg/g, 121.42 mg/g, and 130.72 mg/g, respectively, at pH 5.0. Moreover, the adsorbent demonstrated efficient recovery from aqueous solution using an external magnet, maintaining robust adsorption efficiency (>80%) and stability even after six cycles. To delve deeper into the optimized adsorption of Hg 2+ , density functional theory (DFT) analysis was employed, revealing an adsorption energy of -2.61 eV for Hg 2+ . This notable adsorption capacity was primarily attributed to electron interactions and coordination effects. This study offers valuable insights into metal ion adsorption facilitated, by magnetic metal–organic framework (MOF) materials.

Photothermal materials have attracted considerable attention for efficient solar energy conversion. A promising strategy involves leveraging the photothermal effect to reduce crude oil viscosity, thereby facilitating efficient oil–water separation. In this study, we reported the in-situ polymerization of covalent organic framework (COF) layers on cotton wool (CW). Subsequently, polydopamine (PDA) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) were sequentially coated to obtain a novel sandwich-structured composite (PDMS@PDA@COF@CW). The composite exhibited excellent superhydrophobic properties with a water contact angle of 153.5°. Furthermore, it maintained an oil–water separation efficiency of 98.1 % even after 50 consecutive cycles. The material also demonstrated remarkable chemical stability under various harsh environmental conditions and possessed excellent flame retardancy. Critically, the synergistic interaction between the PDA coating and the COF framework significantly enhanced photothermal performance. Consequently, the surface temperature of PDMS@PDA@COF@CW rapidly reached 83.8 °C within 180 s under 1.0 kW/m 2 light irradiation. This study presents a highly promising solution for mitigating crude oil spills, offering valuable insights into the design of multifunctional materials for environmental remediation.

Forward osmosis (FO) technology, known for its minimal energy requirements, excellent resistance to fouling, and significant commercial potential, shows enormous promise in the development of sustainable technologies, especially with regard to seawater desalination and wastewater. In this study, we improved the performance of the FO membrane in terms of its mechanical strength and hydrophilic properties. Generally, the water flux ( J w ) of polyisophenylbenzamide (PMIA) thin-film composite (TFC)-FO membranes is still inadequate for industrial applications. Here, hydrophilic polydopamine (PDA)@ zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8 (ZIF-8) nanomaterials and their integration into PMIA membranes using the interfacial polymerization (IP) method were investigated. The impact of PDA@ZIF-8 on membrane performance in both pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) and forward osmosis (FO) modes was analyzed. The durability and fouling resistance of these membranes were evaluated over the long term. When the amount of ZIF-8@PDA incorporated in the membrane reached 0.05 wt% in the aqueous phase in the IP reaction, the J w values for the PRO mode and FO mode were 12.09 LMH and 11.10 LMH, respectively. The reverse salt flux ( J s )/J w values for both modes decreased from 0.75 and 0.80 to 0.33 and 0.35, respectively. At the same time, the PRO and FO modes’ properties were stable in a 15 h test. The incorporation of PDA@ZIF-8 facilitated the formation of water channels within the nanoparticle pores. Furthermore, the J s / J w ratio decreased significantly, and the FO membranes containing PDA@ZIF-8 exhibited high flux recovery rates and superior resistance to membrane fouling. Therefore, PDA@ZIF-8-modified FO membranes have the potential for use in industrial applications in seawater desalination.

Insufficient or excessive consumption of Vitamin B2 (Vit B2) and Vitamin B6 (Vit B6) can cause harmful effects on human health conditions, it is therefore very important to control their content in supplements and food products. In this work, we report on a simple, sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified by a hybrid of polydopamine and reduced graphene (PDA-RGO), for determination of Vit B2 and Vit B6. The hybrid nanomaterial comprising PDA-RGO supported AuNPs is constructed through a one-step GCE modification process for electrochemical quantification of Vit B2 and Vit B6 in pharmaceutical formulations. Cyclic voltammetry result reveals that the effective response to Vit B2 and Vit B6 is according to the high electrical conductivity of AuNPs and the large surface area of PDA-RGO. Meanwhile, the sensor modified with a composite film shows a synergistic effect for catalyzing the analytes. Under optimized experimental conditions, these sensors show wide linear ranges of 0.02−60.0 μM and 0.03−600.0 μM, with the detection limits (LODs) of 0.0096 μM and 0.025 μM for Vit B2 and Vit B6, respectively. Additionally, the constructed sensors have been applied for quantifying Vit B2 and Vit B6 in pharmaceutical formulations. Such an effective electrochemical platform could be potentially applied for analyzing various components for therapeutic drug monitoring.

Graphene oxide (GO) has triggered significant attention as a new type of self-assembly membrane material. However, the low filtration flux and unstable performance of GO membrane limit its practical application. Hence, in this work, layered double hydroxides (LDHs), as a 2D material with double-layer channel structure and positive electricity, were self-assembled with GO at weight ratio of 7:3 by electrostatic interaction. Then, the GO/LDH hybrids combined with polydopamine (PDA) to obtain stable and high-flux GO-based membranes through vacuum filtration and the structure and morphology of as-prepared samples were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, XPS, and SEM. Furthermore, the separation performance and surface electronegativity of membranes were tested via pure water flux, rejection efficiency, recycle experiments, and zeta potential. Results revealed that the stability and flux of composite membrane were enhanced significantly compared with neat GO-based membrane. Further, the dye rejection rate of methylene blue (MB) is higher than Congo red (CR) and rhodamine B (Rh B) and reached to 99.8%.
