Inhibition of acrylamide formation in food has been extensively reported, but some mitigation methods result in a concomitant increase in hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a food contaminant mainly produced through Maillard reaction . Mitigation strategies to reduce HMF are not yet available. This study showed that cysteine alone or in combination with glycine could simultaneously and significantly reduce the content of acrylamide and HMF in asparagine/glucose model as well as in biscuits. Mixing 0.36 g/100 g of cysteine and 0.2 g/100 g (w/w) of glycine into the dough reduced 97.8% and 93.2% of acrylamide and HMF, respectively, in biscuits. Cysteine reduced HMF content possibly by reacting with formed HMF through Michael adduction and Maillard reaction.

Electrospun cellulose acetate (CA) membrane was employed as a support that provided sites for AgCl crystals in situ growth. The Ag@AgCl crystals on electrospun CA composites with exposed {1 0 0} and {1 1 1} facets were fabricated at room temperature by a double diffusion technique. The crystal structure, morphology, composition, and absorption light ability of CA supported Ag@AgCl were characterized utilizing X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), attenuated total reflection-infrared intensity (ATR-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements (XPS), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) diffuse reflectance spectra, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of the catalysts was evaluated using methyl orange (MO) as a target. The CA supported cubic Ag@AgCl catalyst exhibited much higher catalytic activity than octahedral catalyst in terms of the degradation of MO under visible light. The 10 mg CA based cubes could completely degrade MO (10 mg L −1 ) in 160 min. The photocatalyst still exhibited a good catalytic ability after three times.

Despite the rapid progress of the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells, the reproducibility, stability, and large-scale production are major challenges. Here, we present a simple and quick solution-depositing process to achieve high-quality perovskite films by adding an insulating polymer of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as a film-forming additive into the CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 solution. With the CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 :PAN films serving as an active layer, planar heterojunction perovskite solar cells show a PCE of 13.08 % at an area of 0.12 cm 2 and 7.32 % at a large area of 1.0 cm 2 . The PCE loss is only about 40 % from the small-area to larger-area devices fabricated by using a solution-based deposition process. The measurements were performed in air without any device encapsulation. We also used the conjugated polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) as the alternative for PAN. The device performance indicates that the conjugated polymer is unsuitable as the additive, which we attribute to the photo-induced charge transfer between CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 and P3HT.

The SrBi 2 Nb 2 O 9 platelets with a thickness of about 600 nm were synthesized by molten salt synthesis method. The treatment of the SrBi 2 Nb 2 O 9 platelets with hydrochloric acid resulted in the formation of the protonated H 1.78 Sr 0.78 Bi 0.22 Nb 2 O 7 platelets. Through a top–down approach in ethylamine solution, the H 1.78 Sr 0.78 Bi 0.22 Nb 2 O 7 platelets were exfoliated into H 1.78 Sr 0.78 Bi 0.22 Nb 2 O 7 nanosheets with a thickness of about 2.6 nm. The evolution of the structure, composition, morphology, optical, and photocatalytic properties of SrBi 2 Nb 2 O 9 platelets was studied as it is converted into H 1.78 Sr 0.78 Bi 0.22 Nb 2 O 7 platelets and subsequently exfoliated into H 1.78 Sr 0.78 Bi 0.22 Nb 2 O 7 nanosheets. The absorption edge shifts to a lower wavelength accompanied by the protonation and exfoliation. The photocatalytic H 2 evolution of the three samples were evaluated under the irradiation of a 300 W Xenon lamp from CH 3 OH/H 2 O solution, indicating that H 1.78 Sr 0.78 Bi 0.22 Nb 2 O 7 nanosheets Exhibit 5.5 and 26.2 times higher activity than that of the H 1.78 Sr 0.78 Bi 0.22 Nb 2 O 7 and SrBi 2 Nb 2 O 9 platelets, respectively. The enhanced activity for the H 1.78 Sr 0.78 Bi 0.22 Nb 2 O 7 nanosheets is mainly attributed to the higher separation efficiency of the photogenerated carriers and the larger specific surface area caused by the significant reduction in thickness.

Herein, we successfully prepared dithiocarbamate-based Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) precursor solutions using various amino groups such as methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine, butylamine, amylamine, hexylamine, octylamine, and ethanolamine. These solutions exhibited a distinguishing wetting behavior, viscosity, and stability and could be used to fabricate CZTS thin films by a simple spin-coating and annealing process. We compared the thermogravimetric analysis of the precursor solutions and the XRD patterns of the as-prepared CZTS films and clear differences between the samples were observed. Furthermore, we fabricated high-quality CZTS films using the ethanoldithiocarbamate-based CZTS precursor solution, and the Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 solar cell with the best power conversion efficiency (7.66%) under 1.5 AM illumination was achieved.

Two-dimensional transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes) show great potential in volatile organic compound (VOC) sensors owing to their exceptional electrical properties, numerous active sites, and abundant terminal functional groups. However, pure MXene Ti3C2Tx is prone to oxidative degradation under ambient environment, and the insufficient response and poor stability are still grand challenges. Hereby, by deliberately introducing metal oxide semiconductor in multilayer Ti3C2Tx, a promising Ti3C2Tx/SnO2 sensor with excellent long-term stability and outstanding selectivity is developed for VOC monitoring. The research shows that the Ti3C2Tx/SnO2 hybrid sensor implements efficient detection of hydrogen-bonded gases and is especially highly efficient with ethanolamine (EA). The sensitivity of the hybrid sensor to EA is improved by over 10-fold in comparison with pristine Ti3C2Tx, besides the good selectivity to over 12 different VOCs. The synergistic effects of n-n nanoheterojunctions, the large specific surface area of 45.186 m2/g and mesoporous-rich hierarchical structure, and the functional terminal groups together facilitate the EA-sensitive properties. In addition, the innovative preparation of the Ti3C2Tx/SnO2 sensor, which takes advantage of terpinol, contributes to the close contact of Ti3C2Tx/SnO2 on the ceramic tubes, thus improving the sensor sensitivity. The scientific findings of this work may provide valuable ideas for the exploration of innovatively composite gas sensors.

Although chlorambucil (CHL) is a long-established anticancer drug, the drug failure of CHL, mediated by the intracellular defense system consisting of glutathione (GSH) and glutathione S-transferase pi (GST-pi), has significantly limited the application of CHL. To overcome this issue, we first designed a GSH-responsive small-molecule prodrug (EA-SS-CHL) by combining CHL and ethacrynic acid (EA). Subsequently, drug-loaded nanoparticles (ECPP) were formed by the self-assembly between EA-SS-CHL and amphiphilic PEG-PDLLA to improve the water solubility of the prodrug and its ability to target tumor sites. Upon exposure to high intracellular GSH concentration, EA-SS-CHL gradually degrades, leading to the release of EA and CHL. The presence of EA facilitates the depletion of GSH and inhibition of GST-pi, ultimately attenuating the detoxification of the intracellular defense system to CHL. Cytotoxicity studies and apoptosis assays demonstrate that ECPP exhibits higher therapeutic efficiency than CHL. Additionally, in vivo tumor suppression effects and biocompatibility provide further evidence for the superiority of ECPP. This work presents a promising strategy to enhance the efficacy of CHL in cancer therapy.

This work highlights the potential of polypropylene (PP) as a power cable insulation material by blending with ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), as well as blends filled with magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles. In PP/UHMWPE blends, increasing the UHMWPE content up to 50 weight percentage (wt.%) increases the number of interfaces between PP and UHMWPE, promoting heterogeneous surface nucleation and strengthening the interfacial adhesion. This enhanced interfacial adhesion in PP/UHMWPE blends results in improved dielectric properties, particularly reduced relative permittivity, suppressed charge accumulation, and decreased dc electrical conductivity. In PP/UHMWPE/MgO nanocomposites, MgO nanoparticles are primarily observed at the interface between PP and UHMWPE in the PP phase. The presence of MgO does not function as a nucleating agent; instead, it acts as a compatibilizer, promoting the dispersion of UHMWPE and enhancing the interfacial adhesion between both polymers. The improved dispersion of UHMWPE results in the nonformation of phase co-continuity within the PP matrix; consequently, adding MgO up to 3 wt.% is insufficient to establish the interfaces forming percolating pathways. Thus, the good dispersion and compatibilizing effect of MgO between the PP and UHMWPE interfaces enhance interfacial adhesion and further improve the dielectric properties compared to the unfilled PP/UHMWPE blend counterparts.

The increasing production of industrial waste salt has become a growing concern. These waste salts are usually filled or deposited without treatment, causing serious environmental pollution and a waste of salt resources. The ideal solution to this problem is to recycle the waste salts after the removal of organic pollutants. In this study, organic solvent washing and heating are chosen to deeply remove the organic pollutants from actual pesticide waste salts. The experimental results showed that the optimum removal efficiency of organic pollutants in waste salts achieves as high as 99.82% under the conditions of 3:5 mass-to-volume ratio of waste salts-to-ethanol (EA), heating temperature of 400 °C (60 min). In addition, the removal mechanism and migration pathways of organic pollutants in the washing and heating were proposed. Salts washing with EA could remove most of the organic pollutants and subsequent heating treatment could completely purify the waste salts without the emission of the harmful gaseous compounds. As the best eluent, EA can not only effectively remove organic pollutants, but also be readily recycled. At the same time, the EA washing and heating process could avoid the pollution of organic waste liquid and noxious tail gas. Therefore, the EA washing process has the advantages of green, high efficiency, safety and energy saving. The EA washing and heating effectively avoids the problem of environmental pollution caused by harmful gases generated by heating and promotes the purification process and reuse of industrial waste salts.

Microplastics (MPs) are widely distributed in the environment, posing significant threats to both ecosystems and human health, and have become a globally recognized pollution issue. In this study, we utilized 11-Mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUDA)-modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to construct a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate for MPs detection. This substrate was designed at the gas–liquid interface (GLI), with AuNPs enveloping MPs at the interface, enabling in-situ detection of MPs. This approach achieved trace detection of three types of MPs-polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polycarbonate-with detection limits of 0.02620 μg mL −1 , 0.3276 μg mL −1 , and 0.2060 μg mL −1 , respectively. Additionally, polystyrene particles were dissolved as dispersed molecules in trichloromethane, eliminating the impact of the sizes of MPs, achieving a detection limit of 0.0952 μg mL −1 . To validate the practicality of this detection method, the recovery rates of seawater samples at different spiked concentrations ranged from 96.46 % to 101.52 %. The GLI SERS substrate exhibits higher sensitivity, offering increased possibilities for trace detection of MPs in aquatic environments.

Many researchers have extensively studied the alkylation of naphthalene with methanol for the preparation of high-value-added chemicals, especially methylnaphthalenes (MNs). Studies indicated that methanol generates a large number of methanol-to-olefin by-products on zeolites, resulting in low selectivity of the target product and poor stability of the catalyst, limiting its application in the industrial field. In this study, CO 2 hydrogenation was coupled with naphthalene alkylation, and the H 3 CO* active intermediate generated in situ was alkylated with naphthalene by using metal oxide-zeolite (OX-ZEO) bifunctional catalysts, which exhibited the ‘slow release’ phenomenon of the methylation reagent. It improved naphthalene conversion, suppressed deep alkylation and coke deposition side reactions and kept the catalyst stable for up to 500 h. A high-density and medium-strength Brønsted acid center facilitated the efficient migration of H 3 CO* active intermediates with the desorption of 2-methylnaphthalene (2-MN), which was particularly important for improving naphthalene conversion and 2-MN selectivity. The in situ IR showed that more Brønsted acid sites of Ga-S-1 effectively pulled the migration process of H 3 CO* species to the zeolitic acid center and increased the efficiency of C-C coupling compared to ZSM-5, which promoted the alkylation of H 3 CO* species with naphthalene. The results of chemisorption experiments showed that the medium-strength Brønsted acid site, which promoted the desorption of 2-MN, inhibited the deep alkylation reaction. The 2,6-dTBPy-IR results showed that the presence of fewer Brønsted centers on the outer surface of Ga-S-1 further optimized the product distribution and enhanced the selectivity of 2-MN in MNs to more than 90 %. Under optimal conditions, 80.1 % selectivity for MNs was obtained via ZnZrO x &Ga-S-1 bifunctional catalysts, with 97.4 % selectivity for 2-MN in MNs.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer that carries the worst prognosis and lacks specific therapeutic targets. To achieve accurate “cargos” delivery at the TNBC site, we herein constructed a novel biomimetic nano-Trojan horse integrating chemotherapy with gene therapy for boosting TNBC treatment. Briefly, we initially introduce the diselenide-bond-containing organosilica moieties into the framework of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MONs), thereby conferring biodegradability to intratumoral redox conditions in the obtained MONSe. Subsequently, doxorubicin (Dox) and therapeutic miR-34a are loaded into MONSe, thus achieving the combination of chemotherapy and gene-therapy. After homologous tumor cell membrane coating, the ultimate homologous tumor cell-derived biomimetic nano-Trojan horse (namely, MONSe@Dox@miR-34a@CM) can selectively enter the tumor cells in a stealth-like fashion. Notably, such a nanoplatform not only synergistically eradicated the tumor but also inhibited the proliferation of breast cancer stem-like cells (BCSCs) in vitro and in vivo. With the integration of homologous tumor cell membrane-facilitated intratumoral accumulation, excellent biodegradability, and synergistic gene-chemotherapy, our biomimetic nanocarriers hold tremendous promise for the cure of TNBC in the future.
