Conventional pretreatments of star anise ( Illicium verum Hook. f.) often result in uneven color development, long drying duration and substantial aroma losses, hence limiting final product quality and market value. To address these issues, the present study hypothesized that ultrasound-assisted electrolyzed water thawing (UEWT) as pretreatment prior to drying could accelerate drying and enrich flavor of star anise by inducing appropriate structural and biochemical changes. The effects of UEWT were compared with those of deionized water thawing (DWT), electrolyzed water thawing (EWT), ultrasound-assisted deionized water thawing (UDWT), and hot water blanching (HWB), with a focus on drying kinetics, microstructure, relevant enzyme activities, antioxidant activities and volatiles composition of star anise were evaluated. UEWT reduced drying time to 8 h, with the highest drying rate (0.75 kg/(kg·h)), free water content (48 %) and oil-associated NMR signal (23 %). Enhanced cell disruption enhanced moisture migration and volatiles release, while elevated PPO and POD activities intensified desirable coloration ( a* = 27.3; Δ E = 26.8); antioxidants retention was nevertheless compromised (phenolics 45.94 mg GAE/g; flavonoids 2.35 mg GAE/g). UEWT also resulted in the highest content of trans -anethole (1100.40 μg/kg) and formation of α-terpineol, both of which are key contributor to characteristic aroma of star anise. These findings demonstrate that UEWT effectively balances drying rate, color formation, and aroma retention, offering a practical pretreatment for quality-oriented drying of spice fruits. Future studies should optimize ultrasonic parameters and evaluate industrial-scale integration for continuous spice processing.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a characteristic byproduct of sulfur-containing amino acid decomposition during fish spoilage, serves as a critical freshness indicator and poses substantial food safety risks. This study develops a novel H2S gas sensor using a ZnWO4/f-MWCNTs nanocomposite synthesized via one-step hydrothermal method. The incorporated functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs) improve the sensing material’s conductivity, dispersion stability, and gas adsorption capacity. XRD, XPS, FTIR, SEM, TEM, and BET analyses verify the composite’s successful synthesis and optimal physicochemical properties. The ZnWO4/f-MWCNTs sensor demonstrates exceptional H2S detection at 120 °C, achieving a response value of 18.67 (Ra/Rg) to 50 ppm of H2S with fast response/recovery times (14 s/30 s) and excellent selectivity against interferents. Real-time monitoring of fish spoilage further confirms its practical utility, highlighting the sensor’s potential for meat freshness assessment and food safety applications.

Low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) technology is extensively utilized to meet the requirements of device integration and miniaturization. Low-fired Li 3 Mg 2 NbO 6 ceramics doped with x wt% Li 2 O–MgO–B 2 O 3 –CaF 2 –SiO 2 glass (LMBCS, x = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0) were prepared by the solid-state reaction method for applications in microwave communication materials. All samples exhibited a single-phase Li 3 Mg 2 NbO 6 structure. The addition of LMBCS glass effectively reduced the sintering temperature of Li 3 Mg 2 NbO 6 ceramics from 1250 °C to 875 °C. And adding LMBCS glass improved the Q × f value of Li 3 Mg 2 NbO 6 ceramics. The Li 3 Mg 2 NbO 6 -1.0wt% LMBCS ceramics exhibited outstanding microwave dielectric properties: ε r = 16.8, Q × f = 89,495 GHz, τ f = − 27.4 ppm/°C at 875 °C, which indicates that this ceramic is potential candidate materials for LTCC.

Anaerobic biosynthetic crystals (ANBC) were prepared based on microbially induced calcium precipitation (MICP) and their potential explored for groundwater defluoridation and decalcification. The preparation conditions of ANBC were optimized and the influence of key factors (initial fluoride ions (F − ) concentration, pH, and initial calcium ions (Ca 2+ ) concentration) on the crystals was investigated. During the operation of the reactor, at pH of 7.0, the hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 6 h, and Ca 2+ concentration of 180 mg L −1 , a maximum removal efficiency reached 93.31%, while 66.20% of Ca 2+ could be removed. The adsorption dynamics study showed that the adsorption of ANBC was most in line with the pseudo-second-order model. The stability of ANBC operation was studied and failure reaction showed that the crystals maintained a stable removal ability after 35 times of repeated use. Further studies found that this was attributed to the continuous growth and synthesis of the crystals. The defluoridation and decalcification mechanism was further explored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction spectra (XRD). This study innovatively proposes a method for biosynthesis of crystals under anaerobic conditions based on MICP, which can efficiently and stably remove F − and Ca 2+ in groundwater, providing a valuable strategy for groundwater contaminant remediation and energy saving.

A simple Schiff-base ligand 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde semicarbazone (HNS) was synthesized and characterized. Based on the combined effect of inhibition of CHN isomerization and chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF), HNS functions as a fluorescence “turn on” sensor for Al3+ in buffered aqueous media. Based on the strong affinity of Al3+ to F− ions, the in situ generated Al3+–HNS complex can also be utilized as an effective chemosensor for F− sensing by metal displacement approach, ensuing quenching of fluorescence by the reversible return of HNS from Al3+–HNS complex. Thus a method using a single probe for the detection of both Al3+ and F− ions is developed. The system exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity for Al3+ and F− ions and the detection limits were found to be as low as 6.75 × 10−8 M and 7.89 × 10−7 M, respectively. Furthermore, the practical applicability of this probe has been examined in living cells.

Thermochemical heat storage based on inorganic salt hydrates is a promising approach to relieve the heat energy supply and demand conflicts, but there exist lots of defects of pure salts when applied to the thermochemical. This paper attempted to use functionalized Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) as the porous matrices to improve the heat storage performance of inorganic salt hydrates. A series of MOFs/CaCl 2 composites based on MIL-101(Cr)-X (X = -NH 2 , –SO 3 H, H, –CH 3 , –F) were successfully synthesized and fully characterized by combining multiple techniques (i.e. powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy , energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, N 2 adsorption-desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy , thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry). The water sorption properties of the series of MOFs/CaCl 2 composites were studied during the hydration process, and a continuous adsorption/desorption experiment was also performed to investigate the cycle stability of the MOFs/CaCl 2 composites. The results show that the hydrophilic MOFs based composites have higher water sorption capacity (0.6 g(H 2 O)/g(sample) for MIL-101(Cr)–SO 3 H/CaCl 2 ) accompanied with higher heat storage density (1274 J/g for MIL-101(Cr)–SO 3 H/CaCl 2 ). Moreover, the series of MOFs all presented excellent cycle performance with little loss after continuous 17 adsorption/desorption cycles.

Under-forest wild-simulated cultivation ofGastrodia elataBl.f. glauca S. Chow(Wu Tianma, WTM) offers a viable pathway for reconciling ecological conservation with economic and health benefits, yet optimal seed tuber regimes remain understudied. We established nine planting regimes varying in single-tuber weight and per-hole dosage in a karst plateau area, monitored tuber yield and bioactive components (gastrodin,p-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol, and parishin), and evaluated performance via one-way ANOVA and a comprehensive index. At equal per-hole dosage, individual tubers of 10–15 g achieved the highest comprehensive index (57.13%), whereas those <5 g performed poorly (28.66%). With respect to seeding rate, the maximum yield (5.27 kg/m2) was achieved at 250 g per hole, while the highest combined content of gastrodin andp-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol (0.29%) and the peak parishin content were observed at 350 g and 150 g per hole, respectively. While tuber weight and seeding rate significantly affected yield, they had minor impacts on bioactive composition, suggesting that medium-sized seed tubers with moderately increased dosage can synergistically improve yield and quality. Our findings provide empirical benchmarks for germplasm selection and agronomic optimization in WTM cultivation, and call for multi-scale studies integrating soil microbiota and microclimate to unravel cascading mechanisms for sustainable quality enhancement.

Dopamine hydrochloride (DPH) is a key neurotransmitter, and its dysregulated concentration has been linked to various neurological disorders. Meanwhile, potassium permanganate (MnO 4 − ), a potent oxidant, poses significant environmental risks when discharged in excess. Therefore, sensitive detection of MnO 4 − and DPH is essential. In this work, nitrogen, sulfur, and fluorine tridoped carbon dots (N,S,F-CDs) were prepared through a hydrothermal route using Aconitum pendulum Busch extract as a biomass-derived carbon source, with thiourea and sodium fluoride serving as heteroatom dopants. The obtained N,S,F-CDs exhibited bright blue emission, good aqueous dispersibility, and a fluorescence quantum yield of 43.16%, with strong emission at 408 nm under 345-nm excitation. Upon addition of MnO 4 − , the fluorescence was efficiently suppressed owing to the combined contribution of inner-filter effect and dynamic quenching. Subsequent introduction of DPH reduced MnO 4 − and recovered the fluorescence signal, enabling the construction of an “ON–OFF–ON” sensing platform. Under optimized conditions, the sensor displayed linear responses of 5.03–275.23 μM for MnO 4 − and 6.11–371.02 μM for DPH, with detection limits of 0.25 and 0.68 μM, respectively. The method was further applied to tap water, serum, and orange juice samples with satisfactory recoveries, indicating its potential for environmental and bioanalytical detection.

Polystyrene (PS) nanospheres are non-covalently modified by PDDA, and a series of flexible nanocomposite films are fabricated with MXene nanosheets through electrostatic self-assembly and further hot-pressing. Due to the strong surface reactivity and the large specific surface area of the f-PS nanospheres, they are completely encapsulated by MXene nanosheets by serval interaction forces. This prevents the MXene nanosheet defect of easily stacked and agglomerated and maximizes the high thermal conductivity of MXene. SEM characterization verifies that a compact and long-range ordered thermal conductive path is formed in the microstructure of the nanocomposite film, as well as effectively improves interface compatibility, and reduces the generation of interfacial thermal resistance. At the same time, combined with the morphology results of the prepared nanostructures, the effects on thermal conductivity, flame retardant properties and mechanical properties are analyzed in detail. When the amount of filler is 90 wt%, the in-plane thermal conductivity increases dramatically to 40.39 W m −1 K −1 , which is 74.8 times that of f-PS. What's more, the 90M/f-PS nanocomposite film exhibited satisfactory flame retardancy and thermostability, decreasing the PHRR from 300 to 58 W g −1 and 70.0 wt% residue. This study provides a facile route for the design of thermal management interface materials with high thermal conductivity and flame retardant properties.

Sulfide solid electrolytes (SSEs) have some huge advantages in high room-temperature conductivity, good thermal stability, low interfacial resistance, etc. They are one of the ideal solid electrolytes for developing high energy density and high safety for all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). However, the preparation of SSEs requires expensive Li2S as the raw material, whose high cost limits its practical application. Herein, a cost-effective SSE Li7.3P2.9S10.75X0.3 (X = F, Cl, Br, and I) was designed and prepared by using low-cost lithium and sulfur instead of expensive Li2S. Significantly, the cost of SSEs was reduced from $169.72 to $28.13 kg–1 based on replacing the Li2S strategy. Moreover, the prepared Li7.3P2.9S10.75X0.3 (X = F, Cl, Br, and I) solid electrolytes have a high ionic conductivity of 1.86–2.73 mS cm–1 at room temperature and a high voltage window of 5 V. On this basis, we assembled the all-solid-state lithium battery TiS2/Li7.3P2.9S10.75I0.3/Li–In, which presented a high initial discharge capacity of 219 mA h g–1 at room temperature and satisfactory cycle stability with a capacity retention of 86.7% after 100 cycles at 0.50 mA cm–2. This work provides an effective strategy for reducing the cost of SSEs, advancing the practical process of ASSLBs.

A competitive fluorescence immunoassay for the quantitative detection of 2-amino-3-methylimidazo [4,5-f] quinoline (IQ) in pan-fried meat patties was developed, using magnetic nanoparticles coupled with coating antigen as the capture probe and anti-IQ antibody coupled with NaYF4: Yb, Er upconversion nanoparticles as the signal probe. Under optimal conditionals, the wide detection range for IQ in phosphate buffer saline is from 0.01 to 100 μg·L−1(R2= 0.991) with a detection limit of 0.007 μg·L−1. This proposed method has been applied to detect IQ in two different types of pan-fried meat patties at varying frying times, and the IQ content in chicken patties and fish patties are 2.11–3.47 μg·kg−1and 1.35–2.85 μg·kg−1, respectively. These results are consistent with that of the ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. In summary, this method can serve as a sensitive and specific test tool for the determination of IQ in processed meat.Keywords:2-amino-3-methylimidazo [4,5-f] quinoline;upconversion nanoparticles;magnetic separation;fluorescence immunoassay;heat processed meat
