Deoxynivalenol (DON, Vomitoxin) is a threatening mycotoxin that mainly produces oxidative stress and leads to hepatotoxicity in poultry. Antioxidant dietary supplements dramatically boost immunity, safeguarding animals from DON poisoning. Luteolin (LUT) is an active plant-derived compound that poses influential antioxidants. This study explored the effectiveness of LUT in combination with activated charcoal (AC) in detoxifying DON in broilers. The 180 one-day broiler chickens were allocated into five different groups having six replicates in each group, provided with ad libitum feed during the trial period (28 days) as follows: in the control group, basal diet (feed with no supplementation of LUT, AC or DON); in group 2, a basal diet added with 10 mg/kg DON from contaminated culture (DON); in group 3, a basal diet augmented by 350 mg/kg LUT and DON 10 mg/kg (DON + LUT); in group 4, a basal diet supplemented by DON 10 mg/kg + AC 200 mg/kg (DON + AC); and in group 5, a basal diet supplemented by 10 mg/kg DON + 350 mg/kg LUT + 200 mg/kg AC (DON + LUT + AC). Concerning the control group, the DON-treated broilers demonstrated a significant decrease in growth performance (p< 0.05) and serum immunoglobulin (p< 0.05) contents, negatively changing the serum biochemical contents and enzymatic activities and an increase in histopathological liver lesions. Furthermore, DON substantially increased (p< 0.05) malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration and decreased total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) levels in the serum and liver. The intake of AC and LUT to the DON-contaminated diet decreased DON residue in the liver and potentially reduced the adverse effects of DON. Considering the results, supplementation of LUT with mycotoxin adsorbent has protective effects against mycotoxicosis caused by DON. It could be helpful for the development of novel treatments to combat liver diseases in poultry birds. Our findings may provide important information for applying LUT and AC in poultry production.Keywords:deoxynivalenol;luteolin;activated charcoal;growth performance;antioxidant capacity;immunity;broilersKey Contributions:Supplementation of luteolin and activated charcoal for four weeks improve the immune system and antioxidant capacity and protects liver injury in broiler chickens against DON-induced toxicity.

Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) perturbs hematological homeostasis by targeting the plasma kallikrein-kinin system (KKS), causing a cascade of zymogen activation events. However, the causative components involved in PM-induced hematological effects are largely unknown. Herein, the standard reference materials (SRMs) of atmospheric PM, including emissions from the diesel (2975), urban (1648a), and bituminous coal (2693), were screened for their effects on plasma KKS activation, and the effective constituent contributing to PM-induced KKS activation was further explored by fraction isolation and chemical analysis. The effects of three SRMs on KKS activation followed the order of 2975 > 1648a > 2693, wherein the fractions of 2975 isolated by acetone and water, together with the insoluble particulate residues, exerted significant perturbations in the hematological homeostasis. The soot contents in the SRMs and corresponding isolated fractions matched well with their hematological effects, and the KKS activation could be dependent on the soot surface oxidation degree. This study, for the first time, uncovered the soot content in atmospheric PM with different origins contributed to the distinct effects on plasma KKS activation. The finding would be of utmost importance for the health risk assessment on inhaled airborne fine PM , given its inevitable contact with human circulatory system.

Dendrites and side reactions of Zn anodes severely restrict the application of aqueous Zn-based batteries for grid-scale energy storage. While surface/interface modification strategies have shown some progress in improving Zn anode reversibility, they still fall short in addressing the overall regulation and intrinsic mechanisms from the bulk-phase perspective. Herein, a bulk-phase composite Zn/CNTs anodes fabricated by a powder-metallurgy-based strategy is introduced. Benefiting from the regulation of grain boundary engineering on local electric conductivity, electric field distributions, and Zn atom absorption energy, the Zn/CNTs anodes effectively suppress dendrite growth and enhance corrosion resistance during Zn stripping/plating cycles. Symmetrical cells equipped with Zn/CNT4 anodes exhibit extended cycling stability with minimal voltage hysteresis (only 22 mV). Furthermore, the full cells incorporating Zn/CNT4 with commercial MnO 2 demonstrate superior rate performance and specific capacitance retention after 500 h cycling. This breakthrough opens up new avenues for optimizing metallic anodes at the bulk phase level using powder metallurgy, enabling scalable manufacturing processes, and providing valuable insights for various metal anode systems.

In pursuit of advanced nanocatalysts with multifunctionality, cost-effectiveness and durability for water splitting and zinc-air batteries, we unveil a novel strategy by combination of electrochemically etched Nb 4 C 3 T x -MXene nanosheets with Fe-N-C single-atom catalyst. The resultant Fe-N-C/Nb 4 C 3 T x demonstrates exceptional electrocatalytic performances for the ORR ( E 1/2 = 0.911 V), OER ( η 10 = 1.52 V), and HER ( η 10 = 91 mV) in the alkaline media. Besides, the catalyst shows excellent application in water splitting electrolyzer, only requiring 1.58 V for a current density of 10 mA cm −2 . Further, the Fe-N-C/Nb 4 C 3 T x assembled battery displays an open-circuit voltage of 1.51 V, a higher peak power density (136 mW cm −2 ), a narrower polarization gap (0.85 V), and remarkable stability (660 cycles over 220 h), surpassing the Pt/C + RuO 2 based counterpart. Our study integrates DFT calculations to guide the catalyst design, laying the foundation for development of reliable and effective trifunctional catalysts in advanced energy-related systems.

Unbaffled U-shaped mesoscale oscillatory flow reactors (meso-OFRs) were developed to prevent solid deposition and prepare uniform barium sulfate (BaSO 4 ) nanoparticles with environmental protection function. The results showed that the oscillation significantly reduced granular deposition; the greater the intensity of the oscillation, the faster it reached uniformity, and the less likely the granules were to be deposited. These results can be explained by the formation of a larger vortex size, which can strengthen the turbulent mixing of fluid in the reactor, promote the interaction and forced mixing between the liquid phase and solid particles, enhance the internal shear stress of the fluid, and contribute to the secondary suspension of solid particles and the disintegration of particle agglomeration . The prepared BaSO 4 nanoparticles with oscillation were smaller in size and lower in pressure drop than those produced without oscillation, which conclusively illustrated that oscillation effectively prevented channel deposition and clogging.

Ethylene (C 2 H 4 ) and pathogenic microorganisms are the two major causes of the deterioration of postharvest fruits and vegetables (F&V). Hence, the development of active packaging with C 2 H 4 scavenging and bactericidal activities is urgently desirable. Herein, a novel photocatalytic active film (CS-PC-AC) is developed for banana preservation by incorporating WO 3 /AgBr/Ag photocatalyst (PC) and activated carbon (AC) into chitosan (CS). The fabricated PC is a ternary Z -scheme heterojunction and its high photocatalytic activity is achieved by the bridge of Ag between WO 3 and AgBr through rapid transfer and separation of photogenerated electrons and holes. AC plays an indispensable role in the photocatalytic reaction through molecule adsorption and transport. PC and AC are hydrogen bonded with chitosan and their incorporation has slight effect on film's thermal stability but decreases the film's mechanical and barrier properties to some extent. CS-PC-AC exhibits strong bactericidal activity (killing ~100 % of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus within 3 h) and good C 2 H 4 scavenging activity (C 2 H 4 scavenging rate of 49 ± 2 %) under visible light irradiation , which can extend the banana shelf-life by at least 50 % at 25 °C. These results indicate the good perspective of CS-PC-AC in the delay of the deterioration of postharvest F&V.

Using agricultural wastes as raw materials to manufacture high value-added materials with green and economical processes is of great significance. In this study, corncob processed by deep eutectic solvents (DESs) pretreatment (80–130 °C) can be successfully prepared into lignocellulose-based hydrogels (LCHs) by a facile and green ZnCl 2 /CaCl 2 solvent system. An appropriate amount of lignin can be well dispersed and filled in the structure of LCHs, thus improving the mechanical properties of the hydrogel. The hydrogel using 120 °C pretreated corncob as starting material reached the best tensile stress (144.4 kPa) and compressive stress (401.4 kPa). Due to the excellent flexibility and the presence of a large number of metal ions , the hydrogels prepared from the 120 °C pretreated corncob were assembled into a capacitor and got an energy density of 110.2 Wh/kg at the power density of 495.0 W/kg. In short, this study provides a simple and green method to prepare LCHs and a novel efficient utilization route of the corncob.

With the emerging demand of implantable microelectronics, it essentially requires the fully integrated and reliable power supplies. The study reports a stretchable and flexible electrospinning-based glucose/O 2 biofuel cell with glucose oxidase bioanode, Pt/C cathode and thermoplastic polyurethane substrate, which is capable for adapting to the various stresses and strains caused by individual movement. The rigid benzene rings and elastic chain segments of thermoplastic polyurethane ensure its superior tensile property. Furthermore, the stable covalent connections between the activated carbon nanotubes (CNTs-COOH) and glucose oxidase inside 3D thermoplastic polyurethane network are established by amide reaction to ensure the rapid direct electron transfer of bioanode and stable power output of device in flexible environments. The biofuel cell exhibits an open circuit voltage of 0.575 V, and high-power density of 57 µW cm −2 in 5 mM glucose. Moreover, the power-generation properties of implantable biofuel cell keep steady, and its power density exhibits limited fluctuations on the dorsum of rat when bending, stretching, and twisting in 28 days. There is no obvious local inflammation or systemic abnormalities in rats. It satisfies the impressive biocompatible requirement, demonstrating the promising potential of electrospinning-based biofuel cell as a robust self-sustained power source for implantable electronics.

Thermally responsive photonic crystals (TRPCs) are intelligent responsive materials that can dynamically coordinate electromagnetic wave transmission, translating thermal stimuli into optical signals and structural color changes. However, it remains a big challenge to develop a robust TRPC, because of the thermochromic mechanism of unstable dramatic volume change that collapses photonic crystal (PC) structure. We demonstrate a highly robust and flexible TRPC film inspired by the chameleon, combining thermochromic dyes (TDs) with PC for a synergistic response. There is only negligible color fluctuation even after 2000 color-change cycles, attributing to no lattice parameter change during the thermal stimulus. Moreover, both positive (transparency to opaque color) and negative (opaque color to transparency) TDs are introduced into TRPC, implementing a full-color RGB thermally-responsive system. The response of the positive-TRPC and negative-TRPC temperatures were 32.0 and 50.5 °C, respectively. A TRPC film with environmental adaptability was designed, which offers a promising route to anti-counterfeiting, steganography and smart window.

Titanium-bearing blast furnace slag (Ti-bearing BF slag) is an important Ti-bearing resource as it contains almost 8–25% TiO2. Over 80 million tons of Ti-bearing BF slag have been accumulated in China. Therefore, recovering the Ti resource from Ti-bearing BF slag is of significance for the sustainable supply of titanium in China as well as in the world. In this paper, based on the chemical composition characteristic of Ti-bearing BF slag, a magnetic Ulvöspinel (Fe2TiO4) phase was formed by the addition of Fe2O3 in Ti-bearing slag. The effects of roasting temperature, roasting time, molar ratio of Fe2O3 to carbon powder and mass ratio of Fe2O3 to Ti-bearing BF slag on the fromation of Fe2TiO4 phase were investigated. The formation mechanism of the Fe2TiO4 grains was revealed by XRD, SEM-EDS, VSM and dissolution experiments. The result show that when 25% mass of Fe2O3 relative to the Ti-bearing BF slag was added, without adding carbon powder, and roasted at 1400°C for 6 h, a titanium concentrate with 22.5% of TiO2 was obtained, and more than 92% of the total titanium in the Ti-bearing BF slag was recovered.

Lignin hydrogenolysis into monophenols presents a promising route for lignin-based chemical and fuel production but still suffers from harsh reaction conditions (e.g. high temperature and high external H 2 pressure). Herein, we report an ultrafine Ni nanocluster anchored on N-doped carbon nanosheets (Ni/LNC) for efficient catalytic transfer hydrogenolysis of poplar organosolv lignin . The catalyst was fabricated through a simple pyrolysis process of lignin‑nickel complex mixed with melamine , in which the lignin coordination greatly improved the Ni dispersion and the strong Ni N interaction inhibited the Ni nanocluster growth, resulting in the ultrafine particle size (1–2 nm). Under mild conditions (160 °C, 1 h), 22.08% of monophenol yield was obtained over the catalyst, which was significantly higher than those over the two reference catalysts (Ni/AC and Ni/LC) as well as other previously reported Ni-based catalysts. The excellent catalytic activity can be attributed to both the substantial increase in catalytic active sites and the enhancement in H transfer from methanol resulted from the electron-rich N-doped nanosheet support. Finally, magnetically recycled Ni/LNC showed excellent recycling stability. Consequently, this work presents a facile and low-cost approach for the synthesis of N-doped carbon nanosheet supported ultrafine Ni nanocluster and further demonstrates its superior applicability in lignin hydrogenolysis.
