Here, we report our finding in the fabrication of novel porous urchin-like Ni2/3Co1/3(CO3)1/2(OH)·0. 11H2O (denoted as NC) nanomaterial composed of numerous nanoneedles through an one-step hydrothermal method, which deliveres a high specific capacity of 318 C g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1. Moreover, an architectural composite electrode consisting of the porous NC nanoneedles wrapped by reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets exhibits large specific capacity (431 C g−1 at 1 A g−1), high rate capability and long cycling life (94% capacity retention after 5,000 cycles at 20 A g−1). The presence of rGO in the composite electrode greatly improves the electronic conductivity, providing efficient current collection for fast energy storage.

A novel approach for the production of 2,5-hexanedione (HDN) and 3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one (3-MCO) from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) by water splitting with Zn is reported for the first time. The use of high temperature water (HTW) conditions is the key for the efficient conversion of HMF to HDN and 3-MCO. Parameters regarding the Zn amount, temperature and reaction time are optimized and HDN and 3-MCO are produced in 27.3% and 30.5% yields, respectively. The roles of HTW and ZnO obtained by oxidation of Zn in water for the conversion of HMF, together with intermediate structures, are discussed to understand the mechanism of the reaction.

In this study, La–Fe2(MoO4)3@CoMoO4 composite core–shell structured electrode materials were successfully prepared by the hydrothermal method. The research results show that the introduction of lanthanum not only enhances the conductivity and charge transfer rate of Fe2(MoO4)3@CoMoO4, but also improves the electrolyte permeability and ion transport capacity by introducing oxygen vacancies and lattice defects. In addition, the core–shell structure of nanorods combined with nanosheets increases the specific surface area of the material, enhances the structural stability of the material, provides more transmission channels for ions, and improves the electrochemical reaction rate and cycle stability of the material. In the three-electrode test system, the specific capacitance of La–Fe2(MoO4)3@CoMoO4 nanomaterials only slightly decreased from 1985 F g−1 to 1963 F g−1 after 10 000 charge–discharge cycles at a current density of 5 A g−1, with a capacitance retention rate of 98.8%, demonstrating excellent cycle life. Moreover, the composite material of molybdenum dioxide (MoO2) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) combines the excellent conductivity and ion diffusion performance of both, providing strong support for efficient energy storage. The asymmetric supercapacitor composed of La–Fe2(MoO4)3@CoMoO4 and CNTs/MnO2 anode exhibits excellent comprehensive performance, with an energy density as high as 50.2 Wh kg−1 and a power density reaching 12 000 W kg−1, providing an effective strategy for the design and development of high-performance supercapacitors.

The widespread use of commercial antibiotics has led to the emergence of multidrug resistance in pathogenic bacteria, posing a significant threat to human health and underscoring the urgent need for alternative antimicrobial agents. In this study, a bacteriocin-producing strain, Bacillus velezensis FS-3 ( B. velezensis FS-3), was isolated from soil in Changbaishan, China. Fermentation conditions were optimized to enhance both bacteriocin activity and yield. A novel bacteriocin, PFS-3, was purified from B. velezensis FS-3 using hydrochloric acid precipitation, organic solvent extraction, and preparative reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry analysis determined its molecular weight to be 929.16 Da, and amino acid sequencing of this peptide revealed eight amino acids (STYLFEGL). To date, the biological properties of PFS-3 have not been reported. We demonstrate here that PFS-3 exhibits low toxicity and remarkable stability under diverse conditions, including variations in temperature, pH, and the presence of metal ions or organic reagents. PFS-3 displayed broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, with particularly strong activity against Gram-negative bacteria. Notably, its minimum inhibitory concentration against multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli B2 (MDR E. coli B2) was 16 μg/mL. Mechanistic investigations revealed that bacteriocin PFS-3 exerts bactericidal effects on MDR E. coli B2 by disrupting cardiolipin in the outer membrane of the cells. Furthermore, in vivo experiments demonstrated that PFS-3 significantly improved survival rates in infection models of MDR E. coli . In conclusion, PFS-3 is a newly identified bacteriocin with strong antibacterial activity, high stability, safety, and a favorable therapeutic index, highlighting its potential applications in the food industry and biopharmaceuticals for combating MDR E. coli infections.

N-RGO/Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 dual-modified Na 2 Fe 0.6 Mn 0.4 PO 4 F composites were prepared by sol–gel method combined with high-temperature calcination at 625 °C. Electrochemical tests show that the initial discharge specific capacity of N-RGO/Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 -modified Na 2 Fe 0.6 Mn 0.4 PO 4 F composites is 149.27 mAh·g −1 at a current density of 0.05 C, and the discharge specific capacity can be maintained at approximately 101.89 mAh·g −1 after 100 cycles. This accounts for 68.26% of its initial discharge specific capacity. Rate performance tests showed that after cycling the current density back to 0.2 C, it was still able to recover to a discharge specific capacity close to 119 mAh·g −1 . At the same time, the interfacial properties of the N-RGO/Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 dual-modified Na 2 Fe 0.6 Mn 0.4 PO 4 F composites were studied, and it was found that the capacity attenuation was due to irreversible structural changes such as agglomerated block cracking and structural collapse during multiple cycles, as well as the gradual thickening of the SEI film with the increase in cycle times. This study aims to apply N-RGO/Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 dual-modified Na 2 Fe 0.6 Mn 0.4 PO 4 F composites to cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries, providing a theoretical basis for the development of fluorinated poly-anion compounds.

Background Triethylamine (TEA), a volatile chemical marker released during seafood spoilage, not only indicates food freshness but also poses respiratory hazards, underscoring the need for reliable gas sensing. Current TEA detection technologies are often constrained by high operating temperatures, limited sensitivity in the ppb range, and sluggish response/recovery behavior, leading to excessive energy use and restricted real-world applicability. To overcome these limitations, this study focuses on developing a room-temperature TEA sensor capable of ultrasensitive and rapid detection, supporting both energy-efficient operation and sustainable monitoring solutions. Results We successfully synthesized SnO 2 hollow spheres and La 2 (WO 4 ) 3 nanoparticles via a solvothermal method and constructed La 2 (WO 4 ) 3 /SnO 2 (LSO) nanocomposites with the aim of developing a highly efficient sensor for triethylamine (TEA) detection. The results show that the LSO exhibited a notable enhancement in TEA gas sensing properties at room temperature. Specifically, it was observed that the LSO-4 heterojunctions exhibited response to 100 ppm TEA could reach to 5.24, which was approximately 3.14 times better than that of pure SnO 2 . Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed the enhanced TEA adsorption capacity of the LSO heterojunction, while clarifying the underlying electron transfer mechanism. Practical application tests showed that the sensor could effectively detect TEA, demonstrating excellent sensitivity, stability, and repeatability, thereby providing feasibility for its application in monitoring of harmful gases in the environment. Significance This work reports the first example of fabrication La 2 (WO 4 ) 3 /SnO 2 heterojunctions for gas sensors. The sensors can detect ppb level TEA gas at room temperature, and meanwhile, the sensors have the advantage of ultrafast response and recovery, which is not normal for the room temperature gas sensor, which thus support their practical application in the field of food quality monitoring and harmful gas control.

Browning caused by polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and microorganisms significantly impacts the nutritional quality of fruits and vegetables. This study identified 7-(Diethylamino) coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (7-DCCA) as an effective inhibitor of both PPO and bacteria. Enzyme assays revealed that 7-DCCA competitively inhibits PPO activity with an IC 50 value of 0.275 ± 0.002 mM. Fluorescence and molecular simulation methods demonstrated that 7-DCCA forms a complex with PPO through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions, altering the enzyme's structure and reducing its activity. Thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) assays showed that 7-DCCA stabilizes PPO, delaying its thermal decomposition. Antibacterial tests proved that 7-DCCA inhibits Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli by disrupting cell membranes. Additionally, 7-DCCA suppressed PPO and peroxidase activities, delaying phenolic oxidation and preventing browning in fruits and vegetables. Cytotoxicity assays confirmed its safety, with over 85 % cell viability at concentrations up to 0.1 mM. Stability experiments verified that 7-DCCA had greatly light and thermal stability. This study highlighted 7-DCCA as a promising antibrowning agent with potential application in food preservation.

Antiperovskites have developed to be one kind of important functional material over the past few decades, showing abundant physical properties such as negative thermal expansion and superconductivity, etc. However, antiperovskite ferroelectrics have scarcely been discovered in inorganic ceramics. In this article, we report a new organic–inorganic hybrid antiperovskite ferroelectric [(CH3)2(F-CH2CH2)NH]3(CdCl3)(CdCl4) based on the strategy of molecular design. The replacement of one methyl in [(CH3)3NH]CdCl3 with ethyl produces the lower symmetric [(CH3)2(CH2CH3)NH]CdCl3 with nonpolar perovskite structure, while the polar hexagonal antiperovskite structure with the formula of X3BA (where X = [(CH3)2(F-CH2CH2)NH]+, B = [CdCl3]−, and A = [CdCl4]2–) was received after further fluoridation of the ethyl group. Therefore, fluoridation successfully achieves the structural transformation from perovskite to antiperovskite, as well as the significant changes in physical properties from nonferroelectric to ferroelectric. The antiperovskite [(CH3)2(F-CH2CH2)NH]3(CdCl3)(CdCl4) exhibits typical ferroelectric phase transition above room temperature (Tc = 333 K) including thermal anomalies, dielectric transitions, and second harmonic generation (SHG) responses. Moreover, lower coercive fields and easy polarization switching are observed by the measurements of hysteresis loops and ferroelectric domains. The saturated polarization (Ps) of 4.0 μC/cm2 is almost 10 times as large as those recently discovered antiperovskite molecular ferroelectrics. This finding provides a novel strategy to design and explore more antiperovskite organic–inorganic hybrid ferroelectric materials.

The near-infrared phosphor converted light-emitting diodes (NIR pc-LEDs) have been broadly used in the fields of night vision, biomedicine, nondestructive testing and food analysis. Over the past few years, many Cr 3+ doped NIR phosphorus has been reported. However, the realization of ultra-broad band NIR emission with high quantum efficiency remains a great challenge. Here, we report an ultra-broadband NIR emitting phosphor Li 3 Sc 1.92 (PO 4 ) 3 :0.08Cr 3+ with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 240 nm. The reason for the ultra-broad emission band is that the host Li 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 provides two different kinds of ScO6 octahedral sites for Cr 3+ ions to occupy. This FWHM is better than most NIR emitting phosphors reported so far. Our research indicates that Li 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :Cr 3+ phosphors have great potential in night vision and NIR spectroscopy .

A homogeneous RuCl 2 (PPh 3 ) 3 catalyst was prepared for the hydrogenation of bio-oil to improve its stability and fuel quality. Experiments were first performed on three model aldehydes of acetaldehyde, furfural and vanillin selected to represent the linear aldehydes, oxygen heterocyclic aldehydes and aromatic aldehydes in bio-oil. The results demonstrated the high hydrogenation capability of this homogeneous catalyst under mild conditions (55–90 °C, 1.3–3.3 MPa). The highest conversion of the three model aldehydes was over 90 %. Furfural and acetaldehyde were singly converted to furfuryl alcohol and ethanol after hydrogenation, while vanillin was mainly converted to vanillin alcohol, together with a small amount of 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol and 2-methoxyphenol. Further experiments were conducted on a bio-oil fraction extracted by ethyl acetate and on the whole bio-oil at 70 °C and 3.3 MPa. Most of the aldehydes were transformed to the corresponding alcohols, and some ketones and compounds with C–C double bond were converted to more stable compounds.

The global incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are gradually increasing. A high-fat diet (HFD) is known to disrupt intestinal homeostasis and aggravate IBD, yet the underlying mechanisms remain largely undefined. Here, a positive correlation between dietary fat intake and disease severity in both IBD patients and murine colitis models is observed. A HFD induces a significant decrease in indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and leads to intestinal barrier damage. Furthermore, IAA supplementation enhances intestinal mucin sulfation and effectively alleviates colitis. Mechanistically, IAA upregulates key molecules involved in mucin sulfation, including 3’-phosphoadenosine 5’-phosphosulfate synthase 2 (Papss2) and solute carrier family 35 member B3 (Slc35b3), the synthesis enzyme and the transferase of 3’-phosphoadenosine-5’-phosphosulfate (PAPS), via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). More importantly, AHR can directly bind to the transcription start site of Papss2. Oral administration of Lactobacillus reuteri, which can produce IAA, contributes to protecting against colitis and promoting mucin sulfation, while the modified L. reuteri strain lacking the iaaM gene (LactobacillusΔiaaM) and the ability to produce IAA fail to exhibit such effects. Overall, IAA enhances intestinal mucin sulfation through the AHR-Papss2-Slc35b3 pathway, contributing to the protection of intestinal homfeostasis.

Cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, β-methylstyrene and cinnamic acid are four important biomass 3-phenyl-2-propene compounds. In the field of perfume and organic synthesis, their thermal stability and oxidation pathways deserve attention. This paper reports a new attempt to investigate the thermal stability and reactivity by a custom-designed mini closed pressure vessel test (MCPVT). The pressure and temperature behaviors were measured by MCPVT under nitrogen and oxygen atmosphere. The temperature of initial oxygen absorption (Ta) and rapid oxidation (TR) were calculated. The results showed that four 3-phenyl-2-propene compounds were stable under nitrogen atmosphere. The Ta of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, β-methylstyrene, and cinnamic acid was 271.25 K, 292.375 K, 323.125 K, and 363.875 K, and their TR was 301.125 K, 332.75 K, 357.91 K, and 385.375 K, respectively. The oxidation reactivity order was derived to be cinnamaldehyde > cinnamyl alcohol > β-methylstyrene > cinnamic acid. The oxidation kinetics were determined using n versus time (n–t) plots, which showed a second-order reaction. Peroxide was determined by iodimetry, and the oxidation products were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that the peroxide value of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, β-methylstyrene, and cinnamic acid reached 18.88, 15.07, 9.62, and 4.24 mmol kg−1 at 373 K for 6 h, respectively. The common oxidation products of four 3-phenyl-2-propene compounds were benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, and epoxide, which resulted from the carbon–carbon double bond oxidation. The substituents' oxidation products were obtained from the oxidation of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, and β-methylstyrene. In particular, the difference is that no oxidation products of the carboxyl group of cinnamic acid were detected.

The substituents' oxidation products were caught in the oxidation of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, and β-methylstyrene. In particular, the difference is that no oxidation products of the carboxyl group of cinnamic acid were detected. According to the complex oxidation products, important insights into the oxidation pathways were provided.
