A donor-acceptor (D-A) phenothiazine derivative(PZQ) was designed and synthesized. The PZQ was characterized utilizing infrared (FTIR) and 1 H/ 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance. The fluorescence spectra of PZQ were investigated in various solvents with differing polarities to demonstrate the presence of positive solvatochromism was attributed to the intramolecular charge transfer. It was observed that the Stokes’ shifts increased proportionally with the polarity of the solvents, exhibiting a maximum value of 11420 cm −1 in the highly polar solvent (ACN). Moreover, a porous composite (PZQ@ZIF-8) was fabricated by encapsulating PZQ into the metal-organic framework (ZIF-8) to respond to the organic solvent vapors. The PZQ@ZIF-8 was characterized using infrared, X-ray diffraction (XRD). The fluorescence spectra of the PZQ@ZIF-8 displayed significant solvent-dependent emission. Most importantly, the PZQ@ZIF-8 exhibited high reusability, and a specific response to methanol vapor. The emission intensity of the PZQ@ZIF-8 was correlated with methanol vapor concentration negatively, which was essential for the practical sensing application.

Roots and stems comprise a large proportion of traditional Chinese medicines and often serve as the energy storage units of plants. However, their decoction residues still contain a significant amount of starch, and direct landfilling, incineration, or carbon disposal results in a wastage of resources. In this study, five types of starch-rich traditional Chinese medicine decoction residues (TCMDRs)c, namely, Radix Isatidis Rhizoma Dioscoreae , Rhizoma Corydalis and Fritillaria Thunbergii . Radix Paeoniae Alba were screened and hydrolyzed using amylase-glucoamylase to produce fermentable sugar. The resulting glucose yields were 87.54%, 84.51%, 85.14%, 82.55%, and 87.75%, respectively. The enzymatic hydrolysate, after flocculation-decolorization treatment, was used to produce D-lactic acid and ethanol, resulting in a concentration and yield of 121.11 g/L (0.97 g/g) and 54.17 g/L (0.49 g/g), respectively. When single or mixed starch-rich TCMDRs were directly used as feedstocks for ethanol production via simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF), they exhibited similar ethanol fermentability, with yields ranging from 0.33 to 0.43 g/g. The SSF residues were thermochemically transformed into biochar with a specific surface area of 89–459 m 2 /g to reduce secondary waste generation. The utilization value of starch-rich TCMDRs was significantly improved through the implementation of enzymatic hydrolysis to produce fermentable sugars, anaerobic fermentation to produce D-lactic acid and ethanol, and the utilization of fermentation residues for biochar production.

Chiral metal–organic frameworks, an emerging type of chiral porous materials, possess many outstanding characteristics such as high surface area, tunable pore sizes, and good chemical stability. Herein, we prepared a chiral [Zn 2 (D-Cam) 2 (4,4′-bpy)] n @SiO 2 core–shell composite on the SiO 2 -NH 2 microspheres by an in-situ growth method. The prepared [Zn 2 (D-Cam) 2 (4,4′-bpy)] n @SiO 2 -packed column exhibited high-resolution separation of racemic compounds and positional isomers at a low column backpressure (9–12 bar). Twelve pairs of enantiomers including alcohols, amines, epoxides, ketones, and esters were well resolved with sharp peak shapes on the [Zn 2 (D-Cam) 2 (4,4́-bpy)] n @SiO 2 chromatographic column. Compared the separation performance of [Zn 2 (D-Cam) 2 (4,4́-bpy)] n @SiO 2 -packed column and two chromatographic columns (commercial Chiralpak AD-H column and as-prepared SiO 2 -NH 2 column), the [Zn 2 (D-Cam) 2 (4,4′-bpy)] n -packed column and the commercial Chiralpak AD-H column have a good complementarity in chiral separation, and it also offered better separation performance compared to the SiO 2 -NH 2 column for separating positional isomers. The effects of column temperature and analyte mass on the HPLC separation were investigated. Additionally, the [Zn 2 (D-Cam) 2 (4,4́-bpy)] n @SiO 2 packed column has good repeatability and stability for HPLC separation of enantiomers and positional isomers. The relatvive standard deviations (RSDs) for repeated separations of 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(9-anthryl)ethanol and o , m , p -bromoaniline were less than 0.8 % and 1.2 % for the retention time and peak area, respectively. After continuous use for one month, the RSDs for the retention time and peak area of them were in the range of 1.1–1.3 % and 1.5–1.8 % (inter-day and intra-day, n = 5), respectively. This work also indicates that the chiral MOFs@SiO 2 composites are promising for HPLC separation.

In the pursuit of chiral materials with significant chiral recognition effects and stability, various strategies have been explored, among which the integration of metal nanoparticles and chiral metal–organic frameworks (CMOFs) is highly promising. However, metal nanoparticles (MNPs)/CMOFs show high chiral properties but inferior stabilities due to the MNPs being easily detached from the outside layer under certain conditions. Sandwich MOFs@MNPs@CMOF chiral materials can overcome this dilemma because the sandwich structure can maximize the regulation of the chiral interface activity, while the controlled outer layer can stop the MNPs from falling off in the procedure of chiral recognition. Here, a novel sandwich chiral material (d-His-ZIF-8@Au@ZIF-8) was synthesized by a ligand-assisted strategy with a well-defined sandwich morphology and chiral recognition capabilities. The electrochemical chiral recognition showed that d-His-ZIF-8@Au@ZIF-8 was the most efficient for the enantiomer of phenylalanine (Phe). This experiment presents a novel perspective for the fabrication of a chiral electrochemical sensing platform based on a solid sandwich chiral nanocomposite.

Organic salt doping is an effective method to control the electrical properties of organic semiconductor materials, while its underlying mechanism remains to be studied. In this work, we report the improvement of organic field-effect transistor (OFET) performance by doping the D-A polymer semiconductor PTB7-Th with organic salts. The underlying mechanism of PTB7-Th's organic salt doping in OFETs has been explored to fill the existing research gap. The doping of organic salts can improve the hole mobility of the device and change the threshold voltage . In addition, at low doping ratios, the on-off ratio of the device is not sacrificed but remains unchanged. Finally, we have made a series of characterizations of the properties of doped polymers through absorption, EPR , and UPS , which provide specific guidelines for modifying D-A polymer devices.

In the present study, D-α-Tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate-based self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems (TPGS-SMEDDS) were introduced to enhance the solubility and stability of luteolin. The ternary phase diagrams were constructed to obtain the maximum area of microemulsion and suitable formulations of TPGS-SMEDDS. The particle size distribution and polydispersity index of selected TPGS-SMEDDS were analyzed to be less than 100 nm and 0.4, respectively. The thermodynamic stability results suggested that the TPGS-SMEDDS was stable during the heat-cool and freeze–thaw cycle. Moreover, the TPGS-SMEDDS exhibited excellent encapsulation capacity (51.21 ± 4.39 to 85.71 ± 2.40%) and loading efficiency (61.46 ± 5.27 to 102.86 ± 2.88 mg/g) to luteolin. In addition, the TPGS-SMEDDS showed an admirable vitro release ability with a ratio of more than 88.40 ± 1.14% for luteolin in 24 h. Therefore, TPGS-based SMEDDS might provide an effective role for the oral administration of luteolin and holds promise as a potential delivery for poorly soluble bioactive compounds.

Considering chiral covalent organic frameworks (COFs) featuring the intriguing properties of porous organic materials, chiral recognition, and separation, the design and synthesis of chiral COFs with high crystallinity has remained a daunting challenge. A brominated functionalized COF (COF-Br) with high crystallinity and stability was synthesized. Using the post-synthetic modification strategy of the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction, a chiral COF (COF-L-Phe) was successfully constructed by combining COF-Br and the chiral functional groups of 4-borono-L-phenylalanine. The chiral recognition ability of COF-L-Phe was verified using an experimental adsorption model. Furthermore, COF-L-Phe-modified capillary columns have been used for the separation of racemic phenylalanine using capillary electrochromatography. This work will provide guidance for constructing chiral COFs for chirality related applications.

The corrosion of carbon steel causes dramatic economic losses each year. Since conventional corrosion prevention approaches may cause pollution problems to the environment, ecofriendly and effective corrosion approaches are desired. Microbiologically influenced corrosion inhibition (MICI) has been reported as a sustainable corrosion prevention method. This work aims to evaluate the corrosion inhibition effect of two bacterial strains,Tenacibaculum mesophilumD-6 andBacillussp. Y-6 by choosing Q235 carbon steel as a model system. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and a series of electrochemical techniques were applied to study the corrosion prevention effect. The electrochemical and pitting results indicated thatT. mesophilumD-6 displayed a better corrosion protection effect.T. mesophilumD-6 formed a denser and thicker biofilm on the Q235 surface thanBacillussp. Y-6. The maximum thickness of theT. mesophilumD-6 biofilms was 11.6 ± 0.7 μm, which is about twice as thick than that ofBacillussp. Y-6. The corrosion prevention mechanism was ascribed to the formation of biofilms as a barrier to block corrosive agents such as O2. This study provides a theoretical foundation for the application of biofilms as green and effective corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel.Keywords:Q235 carbon steel;Tenacibaculum mesophilumD-6;Bacillussp.

Micro-bubble aeration is an efficient way to promote ozonation performance, but the technology is challenged by extensive energy cost. Here, a ceramic ultrafiltration membrane was used to achieve ozone micro-bubble (0–80 µm) aeration in a simple way at gaseous pressures of 0.14–0.19 MPa. Compared with milli-bubble aeration, micro-bubble aeration increased the equilibrium aquatic O 3 concentrations by 1.53–3.25 times and apparent O 3 transfer rates by 3.12–3.35 times at pH 5.0–8.0. Consequently, the • OH yield was 2.67–3.54 times via faster O 3 transfer to the aquatic solution followed by decomposition rather than interfacial reaction. Ozone micro-bubble aeration outperformed milli-bubble aeration, with the degradation kinetics of 2,4-D being 3.08–4.36 times higher. Both O 3 -oxidation and • OH oxidation were important to the promotion with the contributions being 35.8%-45.9% and 54.1%-64.2%, respectively. The operational and water matric conditions influenced the oxidation performance via both O 3 oxidation and • OH oxidation, which is reported for the first time. In general, the ceramic membrane offered a low-energy approach of ozone micro-bubble aeration for efficient pollutant degradation. The O 3 oxidation and • OH oxidation were proportionally promoted by ozone micro-bubble due to O 3 transfer enhancement. Thus, the promotive mechanism can be interpreted as the synchronous enchantment on ozone exposure and • OH exposure for the first time.

In this work, RLWPF (Arg-Leu-Trp-Pro-Phe) and VLRLF (Val-Leu-Arg-Leu-Phe) were investigated for the effects against D-galactose (D-gal) induced cognitive impairment by modulating the gut microbiota composition. The effects on serum metabolite production were further investigated. The two novel peptides derived from walnut protein alkaline protease hydrolysates were predicted by docking to acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with the highest binding affinities, −10.3 and −9.9 kcal mol−1, considered as the potential neuroprotective peptides. In behavioral experiments, RLWPF and VLRLF treatment significantly restored spatial learning and memory impairment induced by D-gal. The results showed that RLWPF and VLRLF could alleviate cholinergic dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation to varying degrees caused by D-gal-induced aging. Furthermore, 16S rRNA analysis revealed that RLWPF and VLRLF treatment improved cognitive impairment by regulating the composition of the gut microbiota and the abundance of harmful bacteria, including the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes, Helicobacter, Allobaculum, Alistipes, Mucispirillum, and Odoribacter. In addition to the same regulation, RLWPF and VLRLF had their marker and regulatory flora. Studies based on the gut microbiota would allow a better understanding of the neuroprotective effects of walnut-derived peptides, supporting that walnut-derived peptides could be potential functional ingredients in foods and nutraceuticals or drug candidates in the treatment of cognitive dysfunction.

d -(−)-Pantolactone (DPL) is a key intermediate for the production of d -(+)-pantothenate (vitamin B5). Deracemization of d , l -pantolactone (D, L -PL) through oxidizing l -(+)-pantolactone (LPL) to ketopantoyl lactone (KPL) and subsequently reducing KPL to DPL is a promising route for synthesizing DPL. Herein, a newly mined l -pantolactone dehydrogenase from Rhodococcus hoagie ( Rho LPLDH) was used for the oxidative dehydrogenation of LPL. To alleviate inclusion bodies formed by membrane-bound Rho LPLDH intracellular expression in E. coli , strategies involving chaperone assistance and decreasing induction temperature were used to achieve Rho LPLDH soluble expression. To enhance its activity, directed evolution and hydrophilicity-based engineering yielded increased catalytic activity and thermostability . 1 M LPL was efficiently converted to KPL by engineering strain CM5 co-expressing Rho LPLDH L254I/V241I/I156L/F224Q/N164K and chaperone. A “two stages in one-pot” method was employed in deracemization of 1 M D, L -PL with 91.2% yield. These results demonstrated that CM5 catalyst exhibits great potential in enzyme cascade deracemization for the production of DPL.

Tuning the d-orbital electronic configuration of active sites to achieve well-optimized adsorption strength of oxygen-containing intermediates toward reversible oxygen electrocatalysis is desirable for efficient rechargeable Zn-Air batteries but extremely challenging. Herein, this work proposes to construct a Co@Co 3 O 4 core–shell structure to regulate the d-orbital electronic configuration of Co 3 O 4 for the enhanced bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis. Theoretical calculations first evidence that electron donation from Co core to Co 3 O 4 shell could downshift the d-band center and simultaneously weak spin state of Co 3 O 4 , result in the well-optimized adsorption strength of oxygen-containing intermediates on Co 3 O 4 , thus contributing a favor way for oxygen reduction/evolution reaction (ORR/OER) bifunctional catalysis. As a proof-of-concept, the Co@Co 3 O 4 embedded in Co, N co-doped porous carbon derived from thickness controlled 2D metal-organic-framework is designed to realize the structure of computational prediction and further improve the performance. The optimized 15Co@Co 3 O 4 /PNC catalyst exhibits the superior bifunctional oxygen electrocatalytic activity with a small potential gap of 0.69 V and a peak power density of 158.5 mW cm −2 in ZABs. Moreover, DFT calculations shows that the more oxygen vacancies on Co 3 O 4 contribute too strong adsorption of oxygen intermediates which limit the bifunctional electrocatalysis, while electron donation in the core–shell structure can alleviate the negative effect and maintain superior bifunctional overpotential.
