To improve the sensitivity and selectivity for S 2− and Fe 2+ detection in complex agricultural products, ultra-small nano CeO 2 /CuO doped carboxylated chitosan fibers (CeO 2 /CuO CCF) was constructed under microwave-assisted conditions. Not only did CeO 2 /CuO CCF possess suitable BET specific surface area, superior stability and synergistic-enhancement oxidase-like activity, trace S 2− or Fe 2+ could selectively change its oxidase-like activity accompanying with visible color changes. Under the optimized conditions, there express specific double ratiometric colorimetric linear relationships between lg( A 729 / A 343 )/lg( A 415/ A 343 ) and c S 2− or c Fe 2+ with large linear ranges. When applied for visual monitoring of S 2− and Fe 2+ in real agricultural products, the detection limits were low to 3.5 × 10 −9 mol·L −1 and 9.4 × 10 −8 mol·L −1 respectively, far below the permitted values in drinking water by World Health Organization. The mechanisms for synergistic-enhancement oxidase-like activity for CeO 2 /CuO CCF to selectively recognize S 2− and Fe 2+ were proposed. This work will provide an efficient way for visual monitoring of multiple analytes in complex agricultural products.

Background With the rapid development of industrialization, the excessive emission of S 2− have become increasingly serious, leading to a surge in the content of S 2− in nature. Rapid and accurate detection of S 2− contamination in natural adaptogens is crucial for food safety. Annually, discarded eggshell waste, rich in organic and inorganic materials, poses environmental risks if landfilled. Utilizing waste eggshell membrane biomass for S 2− detection is cost-effective, yet designing biochar materials for sensors requires balancing catalytic enhancement and anti-interference capabilities. Improving the catalytic performance of biochar for colorimetric S 2− detection without metal ion interference presents a challenging issue. Results We first modified biochar (EBc) derived from waste eggshell membranes using a combination of thiourea and ZnS nanoparticles, fabricating ZnS-decorated, S–N co-doped biochar (ZnS-SN-EBc) nanozymes, which were applied for the colorimetric assay detection of S 2− contamination. The addition of thiourea significantly increases the proportion of pyridinic-N in biochar, enhancing the peroxidase-like activity of the nanozyme. The growth of ZnS nanoparticles on the biochar not only enhances the catalytic performance by increasing the S content but also reduces the content of oxidized S, thereby improving resistance to interference. The detection range for S 2− was expanded from 0.1 to 45 μM for EBc to 0.05–225 μM for ZnS-SN-EBc, and the limit of detection improved to 0.0397 μM. Additionally, ZnS-SN-EBc significantly enhanced metal ion interference resistance. S 2− detection in five types of adaptogenic herbs verified the accuracy and practicality of the colorimetric assay, with recovery rates comparable to national standards. Significance We innovatively repurposed waste eggshell membranes to develop a selective and catalytic peroxidase-like nanozyme, ZnS-decorated S–N co-doped biochar (ZnS-SN-EBc). The developed colorimetric assay utilizing ZnS-SN-EBc demonstrates significant potential for the detection of sulfur ions in adaptogenic herbs, thus contributing to both waste resource utilization and the advancement of food safety detection technologies.

A simple Schiff base (BMSA) prepared from salicylaldehyde and 2-(1H-benzo[ d ]imidazol-2-yl)aniline was evaluated as an efficient fluorescent chemosensor for the selective recognition of Al 3+ and Cu 2+ over other common metal ions . This sensor could detect Al3 + in CH 3 OH/PBS with distinct emission red-shift (the detection limit 0.31 μM)and Cu 2+ in CH 3 OH/Tris-HCL (the detection limit 0.54 μM) with obvious fluorescence quenching . The obtained BMSA-Al 3+ and BMSA-Cu 2+ complexes could act as cascade sensors for detecting F − and S 2− , respectively. The recognizing behavior of BMSA toward Al 3+ and Cu 2+ has been investigated in detail through Job's Plot, FT-IR NMR , and HRMS analysis. Moreover, this chemosensor was verified to be of low cytotoxicity and good imaging characteristics for the detection of Al 3 + and Cu 2+ , and further for the recognition of F − and S 2− in living cells, suggesting that BMSA was proved to be a useful tool for tracking Al3 + /Cu 2+ and F − /S 2− ions in vivo .

In this work, a simple and easily synthesized Schiff-based derivative colorimetric and fluorescent sensor ( 1 ), 4-dimethylamino-benzoic acid (2-imidazole formaldehyde)-hydrazide, was obtained for the detection of Cu 2+ and S 2− . The compound 1 exhibited dual spectral responses to Cu 2+ , that is, vivid color change and fluorescence enhancement in the presence of Cu 2+ . The detection limits were valued as 0.46 μM and 15 nM according to absorption and fluorescent response, respectively. Both of them are below the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for drinking water (31.5 μM). In addition, the ensemble ( 1-Cu 2+ ) selectively and sensitively detected a low concentration of S 2− . As the addition of S 2− instantly removed Cu 2+ from the ensemble ( 1-Cu 2+ ) resulting in a color change from yellow to colorless and a “turn-off” fluorescent response. The detection limit for S 2− was estimated as 0.12 μM (from fluorescent method) and 0.68 μM (from absorption method), respectively, each of which was also lower than the maximum allowable level of S 2− (15 μM) in drinking water defined by the WHO. The binding process was confirmed via UV–vis absorption, fluorescence measurements, 1 H NMR, mass spectroscopy and density functional theory calculation. What's more, successful practical application of test paper is used to inspect the S 2− which means the convenient and rapid assay in real samples can be achieved.

We have successfully synthesized a near-infrared fluorescent probe for the continuous detection of copper and sulfur ions. The probe has good selectivity and anti-interference ability against Cu2+ and S2−. The results show that after adding Cu2+ to the DL solution of the near-infrared fluorescent probe, Cu2+ forms a [DL + Cu2+] complex with the probe, which leads to fluorescence quenching due to the paramagnetism of Cu2+. The probe can be used for the quantitative detection of Cu2+ with a detection limit of 1.26 × 10−9 M. According to the Job's plot curve the binding stoichiometry between DL and Cu2+ is 1 : 1. Subsequently, S2− was added to the [DL + Cu2+] solution, because the precipitation dissolution equilibrium constant of CuS was Ksp = 1.27 × 10−36, so the binding capacity between Cu2+ and S2− was stronger, CuS precipitation was formed, and red fluorescence was re-released, and the quantitative detection of S2− was realized, and the detection limit was 3.50 × 10−8 M. Through bacterial imaging experiments, we found that the probe can accomplish the fluorescence imaging experiments of Staphylococcus aureus, indicating that the probe has good biopenetration and biocompatibility, and has application prospects in bioimaging and environmental monitoring. In addition, the probe DL has good suitability for Cu2+ and S2− detection in real samples.

The fruits of Garcinia xanthochymus can be eaten raw or processed into jams, preserves and vinegar. They provide not only vitamin and protein nutrients, but also pharmacologically active compounds, among which polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) are a major class. According to the literature, PPAPs exhibited good anti-cancer effects. This study investigated the antitumor effects and the underlying mechanism of S1 (the regioisomeric mixture of xanthochymol and guttiferone E) and S2 (the regioisomeric mixture of isoxanthochymol and cycloxanthochymol) isolated from the fruits of G. xanthochymus. In an H22 allograft mouse model, S1 and S2 could suppress the liver tumor growth and phosphorylation of STAT3. Computational modeling showed that S1 and S2 could form hydrogen bonds with the SH2 domain of STAT3. In HepG2 and MCF-7 cell lines, S1 and S2 downregulated the expression of p-STAT3Tyr705. Moreover, S1 and S2 inhibited the phosphorylation of JAK2 and Src, which are the upstream kinases of STAT3, and the expression of various STAT3-regulated genes, including anti-apoptotic (Bcl-XL, Mcl-1 and survivin), proliferative (cyclin D1) and angiogenic (VEGF) genes. As a result, S1 and S2 arrested the cell cycle and induced cell apoptosis, which were proved by the activation of cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-8. These results demonstrated that S1 and S2 from G. xanthochymus exhibited antitumor effects through the inactivation of STAT3, and could be promising candidates for cancer treatment.

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is a widely used biomaterial for bone tissue substitution due to its chemical similarity with the natural bone. Defect-related luminescent HAP materials have the same chemical composition as normal HAP and excellent biocompatibility. However, only few works have focused on the defect-related luminescent HAP materials on bone regeneration. In this work, we systematically investigated the bone regeneration pathway induced by nanostructured particles using defect-related luminescent hydroxyapatite (S2) materials. We monitored the subcellular distribution and location of S2 during osteoblast differentiation with the property of defect-related luminescence. Nano-scale S2 could be internalized by osteoblasts (OBs) via caveolae-mediated endocytosis and macropinocytosis. S2 incorporated into the lysosomes dissolved and released calcium ions for the formation of mineralized nodules. Extracellular S2 also promoted bone regeneration as a nucleation site. Taken together, the physical properties of hydroxyapatite control the bone regeneration pathway in osteoblasts.

Argyrodites, Li 6 PS 5 X ( X =Cl, Br, I), have piqued the interest of researchers by offering promising lithium ionic conductivity for their application in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). However, other than Li 6 PS 5 Cl (651Cl) and Li 6 PS 5 Br (651Br), Li 6 PS 5 I (651I) shows poor ionic conductivity (10 −7 S cm −1 at 298 K). Herein, we present Al-doped 651I with I − /S 2− site disordering to lower activation energy ( E a ) and improve ionic conductivity. They formed argyrodite-type solid solutions with a composition of (Li 6−3 x Al x )PS 5 I in 0⩽ x ⩽0.10, and structural analysis revealed that Al 3+ is located at Li sites. Also, the Al-doped samples contained anion I − /S 2− site disorders in the crystal structures and smaller lattice parameters than the non-doped samples. Impedance spectroscopy measurements indicated that Al-doping reduced the ionic diffusion barrier, E a , and increased the ionic conductivity to 10 −5 S cm −1 ; the (Li 5.7 Al 0.1 )PS 5 I had the highest ionic conductivity in the studied system, at 2.6×10 −5 S cm −1 . In a lab-scale ASSB, with (Li 5.7 Al 0.1 )PS 5 I functioned as a solid electrolyte, demonstrating the characteristics of a pure ionic conductor with negligible electronic conductivity. The evaluated ionic conduction is due to decreased Li + content and I − /S 2− disorder formation. Li-site cation doping enables an in-depth understanding of the structure and provides an additional approach to designing better-performing SEs in the argyrodite system.

Accurately monitoring the freshness of high-protein foods has significant implications for both food safety and public welfare. Since a large amount of hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) is produced during spoilage-related processes, abnormal H 2 S levels are often considered an important indicator of food spoilage. Therefore, we synthesized novel nanoparticles (NPs) containing Silicon (Si) dots and CdTe quantum dots to accurately assess the amount of sulfide ions (S 2− ) and thus the quality of high-protein foods in the early stage of storage. As the concentration of S 2− increased, the fluorescence intensity of Si/CdTe NPs at λ em = 488 nm increased, while the fluorescence intensity at λ em = 620 nm was quenched. The fluorescence intensity ratio (F 620 /F 488 ) was negatively linearly correlated to S 2− concentrations in the range of 1–20 μM, with a detection limit of 0.3 μM. Furthermore, to achieve portable detection, we mixed Si/CdTe NPs with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose to prepare effective visual fluorescent sensing paper chips, which exhibited ideal porous structure, good particle dispersion, and excellent fluorescence properties. Incubating the paper chips with high-protein foods allowed for accurate monitoring of food freshness during storage. Therefore, this approach provided a reliable and portable method to determine H 2 S concentration using a novel concept to ensure the freshness and safety of high-protein foods.

Multicomponent transition metal heterostructures is constructed through a heteroatomic doping method sandwiched by the dual carbon layers. The promising strategy combines iron and manganese ions into a novel Fe 2.57 Mn 0.43 O 4 heterostructure on the surface of the rGO nanosheets, followed by sulfur-doping and calcination processes to achieve S 2− -doped-rGO@Fe 2.57 Mn 0.43 O 4 @C heterostructure. Note that S 2− -doped Fe 2.57 Mn 0.43 O 4 nanorods encapsulated by the carbon coating layers on the rGO nanosheets as the backbone are expected to restrict nanorods from collapsing during the charge–discharge processes. The S 2− -doping in heterostructures can build stabilized solid electrolyte interphase on or near the surface of the Fe 2.57 Mn 0.43 O 4 nanorods. Moreover, Mn heteroatomic doping can optimize the crystalline structure of the Fe 2.57 Mn 0.43 O 4 . The exposed active sites and kinetics of S 2− -doped-rGO@Fe 2.57 Mn 0.43 O 4 @C heterostructure are significantly improved. As a result, the as-assembled batteries can achieve a high capacitance of 1410 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 with a high capacitance retention of 75% at 16 A g −1 . Furthermore, the batteries are guaranteed a prolonged cycle life of 1000 cycles with 92.3% capacitance retention. The as-assembled NiAl-LDH (Ni-Al layered double hydroxide)//S 2− -doped-rGO@Fe 2.57 Mn 0.43 O 4 @C battery leads to excellent electrochemical properties (65.4 Wh kg −1 at 763.2 W kg −1 , 9925.8 W kg −1 at a 43.9 Wh kg −1 ).
