Bauxite is a widely available Al-O-rich mineral with great potential for abating fluoride. However, low adsorption capacity, a narrow workable pH range, and a lack of clarity on the best removal mechanism hinder its application. In this work, a highly efficient bauxite nanocomposite (Bx-Ce-La@500) was synthesized via doping and pyrolysis , and its fluoride adsorption in industrial wastewater was examined. Doping Ce/La synergistically improved the fluoride adsorption affinity of the composite (from pH PZC 8.0 ~ 10.0) and enhanced the •OH. The materials were characterized by SEM-EDS, BET, XRD, and TGA while XPS, FTIR, and DFT were used to investigate the mechanism of fluoride sorption . Results show that Bx-Ce-La@ 500 has a positive zeta potential of 26.3–23.1 mV from pH 1~ 10. The Langmuir model was the best fit with a maximum adsorption capacity of 88.13 mg/g and removal efficiency up to 100% in 50 ppm F − solution. The high F − removal was attributed to the enhanced surface affinity and the formation of adequate •OH on the material. Except for carbonate and phosphate ions, other ions exhibited negligible effects and the selective removal of F − in real wastewater was high. The main mechanism of adsorption was the ligand/ion exchange and electrostatic attraction.

The application of hematite(α-Fe 2 O 3 )-based photoanodes in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation has been hampered by disgusting charge recombination and difficult carrier migration. Herein, we modified indium sulfide (In 2 S 3 ) nanoparticles on the surface of fluorine-doped α-Fe 2 O 3 (F-Fe 2 O 3 ) nanorods . The In 2 S 3 /F-Fe 2 O 3 heterostructure bonded by S-O chemical bond shows a superior photocurrent density of 2.21 mA cm −2 at 1.23 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (around 3.45 times higher than that of pristine α-Fe 2 O 3 ). In-depth investigations show that In 2 S 3 /F-Fe 2 O 3 has significantly increased donor density and decreased charge transfer resistance. Simultaneously, In 2 S 3 decorated with S-O bond could reduce the surface defect states. Further studies of energy band location reveal the formation of type-Ⅱ heterojunction between In 2 S 3 and F-Fe 2 O 3 . The unique heterostructure provides a powerful driving force for charge separation and transport, resulting in satisfactory bulk phase and surface separation efficiency. This work provides ideas for the design and study of multicomponent photoanodes.

The widespread occurrence of sulfathiazole (STZ) in the environment has raised concerns regarding the potential risks to ecosystem and human health. Thus, there is a need to develop facile and efficient methods for monitoring STZ. In this study, a novel fluorescent probe, based on N, B, F co-doped carbon dots (N, B, F-CDs), was developed for the highly sensitive and selective determination of STZ. The fluorescent N, B, F-CDs were prepared via a one-step hydrothermal method using malonate and 1-allyl-3-vinylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid as precursors. The obtained N, B, F-CDs exhibited excellent fluorescence response toward STZ due to the inner filter effect (IFE), which caused the fluorescence to be quenched. The fluorescent probe allowed the STZ concentration to be accurately determined with a low detection limit of 5.5 ng mL −1 in two wide linear ranges of 0.008–10 μg mL −1 and 10–45 μg mL −1 . The practicability of the fluorescent probe was further validated in river water, soil, milk, and egg samples, and the satisfactory spiked recoveries of STZ ranged from 96.1 to 101.6%. The proposed fluorescent probe based on N, B, F-CDs can be easily prepared and possess high selectivity and sensitivity, thereby displaying its tremendous potential for the identification and determination of STZ in the environment.

Low-temperature soluble and soft gelation (LT-SG) pectin belonging to special gum is an important food additive. Flash extraction optimization of pectin from passion fruit ( Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa ) peel at low temperature (50 °C) by response surface methodology and LT-SG properties was investigated in the present study. Under the optimized conditions of a rotation speed of 5000 r/min, extraction time of 9 min, and the liquid–solid ratio of 42:1 mL/g, the pectin yield was 7.52%. The DE value of 57.02% indicated it was high methoxyl pectin, which easily dissolved at a low temperature (70 °C). Gel texture analysis revealed that the soft gelation properties were depended on the sucrose concentration and pH in the pectin solution. Both adding sucrose and decreasing pH refined gel network structure, as results, the gel texture was strengthened.

Furfuryl alcohol (FOL) is one of the versatile molecules in the chemical industry, and can be obtained from the biomass-derived furfural (FAL) via selective hydrogenation. In this study, a mild and rapid protocol was developed for the efficient reduction of FAL to FOL in the presence of an eco-friendly ionic liquid tetrabutylammonium fluoride ([TBA]F) using 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS) as the hydrogen source. After reacting at room temperature for 5 min, a high FOL yield of 97% with a remarkable TOF value of 310 h −1 could be achieved. The activation of TMDS with fluoride was found to play a key role in the acceleration of the hydrogenation process, and ATR-FTIR and HR-MS were used to verify the possible reaction pathway.

Tripterygium wilfordii (TW), a well-known traditional Chinese medicine , was widely used in the treatment of autoimmune disorders and inflammatory diseases . However, the clinical use of TW was limited by severe toxicities, such as hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity . Our previous studies indicated that roasting was an effective approach for reducing TW-induced toxicity. After roasting, celastrol was completely decomposed, partially converted into 1-hydroxy-2,5,8-trimethyl-9-fluorenone and the total alkaloids content were significantly reduced. However, the detoxication mechanisms of roasting on TW were poorly unknown. This study aimed to explore the toxicity and detoxification mechanisms of TW after roasting based on urine metabolomics. Promising biomarkers were evaluated by multiple comparison analyses. Sixteen toxicity biomarkers were identified between control group and total extract group. Twelve toxicity biomarkers were identified between control group and total alkaloids group. Eight toxicity biomarkers were identified between control group and celastrol group. These metabolites were mainly involved in seven metabolic pathways, summarized as pentose and glucuronate interconversions, lipid metabolism (sphingolipid metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolisms, fatty acid biosynthesis and steroid hormone biosynthesis) and amino acid metabolism (taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, tryptophan metabolism). After roasting, the toxicities of total extract, total alkaloids and celastrol were relieved by ameliorative serum parameters and pathological changes in hepatic and renal tissues which revealed that the reduction of celastrol and total alkaloids played important roles in the detoxification of roasting on TW. Furthermore, roasting regulated the levels of fourteen potential biomarkers in the total extract group, ten potential biomarkers in the total alkaloids group and seven candidate biomarkers in the celastrol group to normal levels. Biological pathway analysis revealed that roasting may ameliorate TW-induced metabolic disorders in pentose and glucuronate interconversions, lipid metabolism and amino acid metabolism. This study provided evidence for the application of roasting in TW.

Monolayer Bi2MoO6 nanosheets doped with F atoms (F-BMO-NSs) were developed as catalysts for the one-pot alkylation of nitrobenzene with benzyl alcohol. 95.88% conversion of nitrobenzene coupled with 99.98% selectivity of n-benzylideneaniline was achieved over the F0.04-BMO-NSs under visible light irradiation and 1 atm N2 at room temperature. XPS and EPR results suggested that F doping not only produced enhanced Lewis acid sites (Bi3+ and Mo6+), but also generated Lewis base sites (Mo5+). In situ FTIR spectra revealed that benzyl alcohol would be selectively adsorbed on the enhanced Lewis acid sites via Bi3+ (Mo6+)⋯OH–C– interface coordination, resulting in the activation of HO–C–. Moreover, nitrobenzene would be chemisorbed on the Mo5+ basic sites via Mo5+⋯NO2 coordination, inducing charge transfer from Mo5+ to –NO2. Under visible light irradiation, hydrogen transfer takes place from the chemisorbed benzyl alcohol to nitrobenzene generating benzaldehyde and aniline, finally coupling to form the imine. Based on these surface cooperated functional sites, a synergistic mechanism has been proposed to elucidate the accurate structure–performance relationship. This work provides a new perspective for the design of high activity, high selectivity and high stability photocatalysts for the precise synthesis of imines.

A Chinese perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) substitute frequently detected in the environment, 6:2 chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (F-53B), has a similar structure to PFOS and it is proposed to cause thyroid dysfunction. To further confirm this hypothesis, the effects of F-53B on the thyroid endocrine system and underlying mechanisms were investigated in vitro and in vivo using rat pituitary GH3 cells and developing zebrafish, respectively. In GH3 cells, F-53B enhanced cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, indicative of thyroid receptor agonistic activity. In zebrafish larvae, F-53B exposure induced significant developmental inhibition and increased thyroxine (T 4 ) but not 3,5,3′-triiodothyronine (T 3 ) levels accompanied by a decrease in thyroglobulin (TG) protein and transcript levels of most genes involved in the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis. Interestingly, T 4 levels remained significantly increased while TG protein and gene transcription levels were markedly upregulated after depuration. Molecular docking studies revealed that F-53B binds to transthyretin (TTR) by forming hydrogen bonds with Lys123 and Lys115, thereby interfering with thyroid hormone homeostasis. Our collective in vitro , in vivo and in silico studies provide novel evidence that F-53B disrupts the thyroid endocrine system at environmentally relevant concentrations, which cannot be recovered after depuration. Given the persistence of F-53B in the environment, the long-term consequences of thyroid hormone disruption by this chemical warrant further investigation.

Dopamine (DA), widely recognized as the most prevalent catecholamine neurotransmitter in the brain, functions as a vital regulator of various physiological processes within the central nervous system. Meanwhile, uric acid (UA) serves as the terminal product of purine metabolism, and hyperuricemia emerges as a significant risk factor for gout, with a steep escalation in risk as blood uric acid levels surge. Consequently, monitoring the concentrations of DA and UA in biological fluids is crucial not only for the treatment of related disorders but also for enhancing disease prevention strategies. In this work, the blooming hydrangea shaped ZnCo(OH)F/carbon dots (CDs) composite was grown on carbon cloth (CC) substrate by a simple hydrothermal method, which was used as a flexible sensor for the detection of DA and UA. The unique open structure and morphologic adjustment strategy of ZnCo(OH)F/CDs/CC provided a large surface area and highly exposed active site. After screening the experimental variables that affect the sensor performance, the optimal ZnCo(OH)F/CDs/CC flexible electrode achieved individual and simultaneous detection for DA and UA in the concentration ranges of 1.0 220.0 µM and 1.0 500.0 µM, the detection limits (LOD) of DA and UA were 0.0129 and 0.044 μM, respectively (S/N=3). In addition, the sensor exhibited good repeatability, stability and selectivity, realizing the detection of DA and UA in human serum with recovery rate of 95.20 % 105.3 %. Also, the density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to explore the interaction between electrode material and detected substrate. A simple hydrothermal method was utilized to grow the ZnCo(OH)F/CDs composite onto the CC substrate. The presence of F − in ZnCo(OH)F can increase the charge mobility and improve the conductivity. ZnCo(OH)F/CDs/CC as flexible electrode material can determine DA and UA simultaneously in human serum with a satisfactory recovery rate. This flexible sensor has a broad application prospect in the manufacture of wearable devices.

Modifications through doping at both the anion site and the transition metal site within P2-type layered oxide cathodes for sodium-ion batteries typically exhibit a synergistic effect, which enhances the performance of these sodium-ion batteries. In this study, a prominent enhancement in the performance of P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.15 Fe 0.20 Mn 0.65 O 2 (NFM) was achieved through a Zn/F dual-site doping strategy. The doped material P2-Na 0.67 Zn 0.05 Ni 0.15 Fe 0.20 Mn 0.60 O 1.95 F 0.05 (ZNFMF), prepared by co-precipitation followed by solid-state mixing and calcination method, exhibits superior cycling stability and rate performance in electrochemical tests. The doping of Zn/F optimizes the local electronic structure of the material, reduces the valence state of transition metal (TM) elements, enhances the binding energy between lattice oxygen and TM elements, shortens the TM-O bond length, effectively suppresses structural distortion, and improves the cycling performance and structural stability of the material. In-situ XRD and Raman also confirm the improved structural reversibility of the material during the cycling process. The nano-indentation test further confirms that the Young’s modulus and hardness of the ZNFMF is significantly improved compared to NFM during the cycling process. This research successfully improves the structural stability, electrochemical performance, and air stability of the sodium-ion battery cathode material through Zn/F dual-site doping, providing new ideas and methods for the further research and development of sodium-ion battery cathode materials.

This study successfully synthesized a series of Mn(OH)F hollow structures doped with rare earth elements (Sm, Nd, Ce, and Tb) using a hydrothermal method . A comprehensive analysis was conducted on the influence of these dopant elements on the morphology and gas-sensitive properties of Mn(OH)F. The gas-sensing performance of Mn(OH)F nanomaterials doped with Sm, Nd, Ce, and Tb was extensively investigated at 150℃ for methyl acetate , ethyl acetate , propyl acetate , and butyl acetate . The results demonstrated good gas-sensing capabilities, with responses reaching 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, and 2.5, respectively. Compared to undoped Mn(OH)F nanomaterials , the operating temperature of these sensors was reduced by about 100℃, and the response values were nearly tripled. Exceptional selectivity and stability were also observed. In addition, an in-depth exploration was conducted into the underlying mechanisms behind the enhanced gas response due to rare earth element doping . This study provides strong theoretical support for the development of efficient acetate ester gas sensors, demonstrating broad prospects for their widespread application in the industrial field.

The loss of grains in the production chain caused huge waste worldwide, and the control of plant pathogenic fungi during harvest time is a critical solution to mitigate the damage. Eugenol, an important component of clove oil ( Syzygium aromaticum L.), has antioxidant, antifungal, and other activities. In this study, the unstable eugenol was incorporated into the nanoscale γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (γ-CD-MOF), a cubic porous structure synthesized by vapor diffusion method. The investigation of morphologies, functional groups, crystalline structures and weight losing behaviors demonstrated the inclusion complex prepared from γ-CD-MOF and eugenol (CMFE). Compared with the γ-CD loaded with eugenol (CE), CMFE exhibited an improved loading rate with 4.06 % ( w/w ). And CMFE enhanced the stability of its inner eugenol against degradation by light and air. Moreover, the CMFE demonstrated a significant anti -F. graminearum activity both in the medium and on the wheat grains. The inhibition rate reached 83.8 % at 8 mg/mL in vitro , while the growth of the hyphae was effectively restrained at 4 mg/g in vivo . CMFE could damage the mycelial cell wall and trigger intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, thus exhibiting its anti- F. graminearum activity. Our results showed that the biocompatible CMFE would be an environment-friendly substitute to chemical fungicides for the prevention of fungal contamination caused by F. graminearum .
