To achieve high-performance supercapacitors, nitrogen and sulfur co-doped porous chitosan hydrogel-derived carbons (CHC-SK) are successfully prepared by one-step carbonization. In the synthesis, two effective strategies of structure design and heteroatom doping are both used to increase capacitance of carbon materials. To control and design of structure, potassium citrate as a novel pore-former is introduced into chitosan hydrogel systems. It plays three roles in pore formation and thereby can be effective to optimize structure and improve surface area of CHC-SK. In addition, thiourea as binary doping of nitrogen and sulfur can effectively maximize the pseudocapacitance of CHC-SK. Therefore, CHC-SK with large surface area (1596.4 m 2 g −1 ) and high heteroatom content (5.43% for nitrogen, 2.62% for sulfur) show excellent electrochemical performances. The specific capacitance of CHC-SK reaches up to 366.8 F g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 . Even at the high current density of 10A g −1 , its capacitance retention is 97.1% for 10,000 cycles. This simple strategy for the synthesis of nitrogen and sulfur co-doped porous chitosan hydrogel-derived carbons with high specific capacitance has promising applications in the future.

In this study, electrospun chitosan/pullulan composite nanofiber films were crosslinked by two green methods (heating and cinnamaldehyde). With the increase of chitosan content, the morphology results indicated that the nanostructures of thermal crosslinking chitosan/pullulan (TCP) and cinnamaldehyde crosslinking chitosan/pullulan (CCP) nanofiber films became more stable. The decreases in weight loss (83.65 % to 43.85 % for TCP and 23.42 % to 15.58 % for CCP) and the increases in water contact angle (31.8° to 54.1° for TCP and 83.65 % to 43.85 % for CCP) confirmed the improved water stability. The decreases in water vapor permeability indicated that the crosslinking processes significantly improved the barrier properties of the films. Mechanical and thermal properties of TCP and CCP films were enhanced respectively. Furthermore, the corresponding properties of CCP films were more excellent than TCP films. FTIR results indicated the occurrence of Maillard reaction during the thermal crosslinking process and Schiff base reaction during the cinnamaldehyde crosslinking process.

Sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) represents a highly promising cathode material for lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries, leveraging a solid-solid sulfur conversion mechanism. However, persistent interfacial side reactions and sluggish redox kinetics in SPAN cathodes compromise the electrochemical performance. Here, quaternized chitosan (QCS) is employed as a functional agent to stabilize the SPAN cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI). The positively charged quaternary ammonium groups selectively adsorb PF 6 – anions, modifying the Helmholtz layer structure and facilitating the formation of an anion-derived CEI enriched with LiF. Consequently, the SPAN@QCS-1.0% cathode delivers a high discharge capacity of 1499 mAh g −1 at 0.2 C, an outstanding rate capability of 902 mAh g −1 at 10 C, and a prolonged cycle life exceeding 1500 cycles at 1 C. Under practical conditions of high sulfur loading (12.0 mg cm −2 ) and lean electrolyte (E/S ratio = 5 µL mg −1 ), the SPAN cell achieves a high areal capacity of 17.1 mAh cm −2 , surpassing that of conventional lithium–ion batteries (≈4 mAh cm −2 ) by more than fourfold. Furthermore, a 0.9 Ah pouch-cell prototype demonstrates stable cycling for over 30 cycles. The interface strategy provides a facile and effective approach to developing high-performance SPAN-based Li–S batteries.

In recent years, nanomaterials have emerged as prominent carriers in biomedical applications. This trend aims to address limitations inherent in traditional enzyme immobilization methods and reduce the costs associated with enzyme biocatalysts in industrial processes. In this study, we selected non-toxic magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), distinguished by their exceptional biocompatibility, as immobilization carriers to overcome the inherent instability and non-reusability of free enzymes. The MNPs were coated with chitosan to form a protective layer, thereby significantly enhancing enzyme stability. This approach also circumvented the need for precipitants, thereby avoiding the associated damage observed in conventional cross-linking. Building upon this foundation, glucosidase and rhamnosidase were immobilized onto these modified MNPs for converting Epimedin C into Icaritin. Compared to conventional cross-linked enzyme aggregation techniques, this system exhibited superior catalytic efficiency. Furthermore, the immobilized enzyme system enables rapid magnetic separation of the reaction product. Notably, the immobilized enzymes retained approximately 70 % of their initial activity after eight reuse cycles, demonstrating significant potential for industrial-scale applications. These findings demonstrate the potential of chitosan-modified magnetic nanoparticles as efficient, reusable enzyme carriers for sustainable biocatalytic processes in pharmaceutical and industrial applications.

Adhesive patches are optimum candidates for distinct biomedical applications including tissue adhesion and leakage sealing in outpatient or surgical procedures. Unfortunately, most adhesive patches are significantly less effective at providing strong adhesion to the surface of wet tissue, which increases the risk and reduces the fault tolerance in surgery. Meanwhile, customization is difficult to achieve in terms of mechanical adaptability. To tackle this problem, we developed a chitosan-containing bioadhesive patch (ANC) comprising dual cross-linked carboxymethyl chitosan methacrylate (CMCS-MA), acrylic acid and acrylic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester. This ingenious and convenient design strategy facilitates the integrated polymerization of the patch, while circumventing the necessity for additional crosslinkers. ANC patches in dry state and the rich carboxyl groups contained therein enable rapid removal of moisture from tissue surfaces. Subsequently, robust adhesion based on hydrogen bonding and NHS-amine interaction is formed. The dual-crosslinked ANC patch achieve good adjustable mechanical performance and swelling behavior by controlling the addition of CMCS-MA. Furthermore, compared with commercially available fibrin glue, ANC patches own robust adhesion and superior sealing performance for stomach fluid leakage. This intricately designed ANC patch sheds new light on biomedical patch design and broadening the scope of chitosan-containing materials in tissue adhesive and sealant applications.

In traditional Si-based anodes, bio-based binders can partially address the inherent drawbacks of silicon anodes. However, plenty of inactive materials hinder the improvement of the electrochemical performance of traditional Si-based anodes. To settle the issues above, sodium alginate (SA)/chitosan (CS) double-network is constructed to design a free-standing Si anode. The two physically cross-linked networks, reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs), form a 3D-structured electrode that firmly anchors Si nanoparticles via forming dynamic hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, the in-situ -reduced copper particles act as the point-like conductive agent, CNTs function as the connecting conductive networks, and SA/CS aerogel sheets serve as the conductive plane, synergistically forming a three-dimensional conductive network (points-lines-planes) around Si particles. This double-network structure effectively alleviates Si volume expansion and endows the free-standing electrode with a high capacity of 1194 mAh/g (based on the whole weight of the electrode) and an excellent capacity retention rate of 85.1% after 100 cycles at 0.5 A/g. This strategy is anticipated to produce high-performance free-standing silicon anodes, therefore supporting lightweight and high-capacity electronics.

In this study, natamycin nanoparticles were prepared by anti-solvent method, and natamycin nanoparticles/chitosan coating was prepared and investigated for the preservation of sweet cherry. The results of particle size showed that the prepared natamycin nanoparticles were nano-sized, with a particle size of 209 ± 10 nm. The results of scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that the apparent morphology was a uniform spherical structure. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) proved that the prepared natamycin after the combination of Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and natamycin still had its own functional groups without new chemical bond. Compared with the control samples the solubility of natamycin increased to 1 mg/mL, leading to the enhanced antifungal activity of natamycin nanoparticles/chitosan. Natamycin nanoparticles/chitosan effectively maintained the color of sweet cherry fruits and delayed the decline of firmness, total soluble solids (TSS) and titratable acidity (TA) during storage. In particular, it effectively delayed the decay of sweet cherries, with the lowest decay rate of 10.1 %, which was 66.4 % lower than that of the control group, and there wasn't decay of sweet cherry in 35 d storage. Therefore, natamycin nanoparticles/chitosan was effectively to delay cherry fruit senescence and improved the quality of sweet cherry during the storage period.

Chitosan (CTS) exhibits notable moisturizing and film-forming capabilities, whereas nano selenium (SeNPs) demonstrates antioxidant and antibacterial properties. In the present study, a CTS/Se film-forming agent was prepared by dissolving CTS, glycerol, and SeNPs in 1% (v/v) glacial acetic acid through heating and ultrasonic treatment. The results revealed that SeNPs fused with CTS via intermolecular forces, thereby enhancing the tensile strength of the CTS film. The water contact angle of the CTS film increased with an increase in SeNPs concentration. The thermal stability and water retention properties of CTS/Se were superior than CTS. In a storage experiment, the content of soluble solids in tomatoes coated with CTS/Se was higher than that in tomatoes coated with CTS and the control. The CTS/Se coating inhibited gas exchange both inside and outside the film, leading to increased activities of antioxidant enzymes. This reduced the oxidation of vitamin C in the tomatoes and decreased the content of malondialdehyde. The CTS/Se film inhibited the growth of bacteria on the tomato surface and mitigated the decline of aldehyde, alcohol and ketone aroma compounds. Consequently, the CTS/Se coating alleviated the softening, aging and rotting of tomatoes. Feeding experiments conducted on mice verified the food safety of the CTS/Se.

The fabrication of Pickering nanoemulsions, specifically food-grade ones, is challenging due to the limited availability of particles with appropriate amphiphilic wettability and sufficiently small particle size. Chitosan nanoparticles offer a promising solution due to their adjustable size and amphiphilic properties. The study investigated the effects of pH, oil phase volume fraction, chitosan concentration, and ultrasonic intensity on the formation of chitosan Pickering nanoemulsions. Nanoemulsions with droplet size of approximately 300 nm were achieved under optimal conditions of pH 6.5, oil phase volume fraction of 1 %, chitosan concentration of 1.0 wt%, and 455 W ultrasonic power for 360 min. Stability tests indicated that the nanoemulsions had good pH (2–6), ionic strength (100–500 mM), thermal (60–90 °C), freeze-thaw (3 times) and storage stabilities (0–60 days). The findings highlight the potential of chitosan nanoparticles as effective stabilizers for Pickering nanoemulsions, providing valuable insights for the development of food-grade Pickering nanoemulsions.

The interconnected macroporous graphene oxide-chitosan (GO-CS) sponge endowed the ability to simultaneously remove diclofenac (DCF), triclosan (TCS), and polystyren microplastics (PS MPs). Compared to the adsorption capacity for a single pollutant, the adsorption capacity for TCS and PS MPs was slightly decreased, indicating the partial competition of adsorption sites; however, the major adsorption sites for each pollutant differed. Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses revealed that the adsorption of the pollutants onto the GO-CS sponge was influenced by electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interactions. The GO-CS sponge effectively removed DCF, TCS, and PS MPs even in real water samples. While DCF removal decreased in effluent and river water due to elevated pH and ion competition, TCS and PS MPs removal remained stable, driven by hydrophobic and π-π interactions. Under the flow-through condition, the highest adsorption capacities for DCF (20.49 mg/g), TCF (18.15 mg/g), and PS MPs (6.43 mg/g) were observed at the lowest flow rate (1.52 mL/min). All the breakthrough curves for the adsorption of the pollutants were described well by the Clark model, indicating their favorable and multilayer adsorption. Further, the sponge maintained its morphology and adsorption capacity (> 90.4 %) after three cycles of adsorption/desorption. Additionally, the GO-CS sponge exerted no toxicity on Daphnia magna (48 h of exposure) and no growth inhibition effect on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (72 h of exposure). The sponge lost 54.28 % of its total weight after being buried in the soil for 35 days, verifying its biodegradability.

Glutaraldehyde cross-linked chitosan-coated Fe3O4 nanocomposites (MCNPs) were successfully synthesized for the removal of methyl orange (MO) from wastewater. Experimental conditions such as the pH, cation surfactant dosage, nanoadsorbent dosage, and ionic strength were also investigated. Kinetics date was better fit by a pseudo-second-order model, indicating that adsorption was the rate-limiting step. The Freundlich models (R2 = 0.9794) fit the experimental data better than the Langmuir models, and the theoretical maximum adsorption capacity was 758 mg g–1. The values of the Gibbs free energy (ΔG° = −7.27 kJ mol–1), enthalpy (ΔH° = 0.001 kJ mol–1), and entropy (ΔS° = 23.58 J mol–1) indicated the spontaneous and endothermic process of MO adsorption. The prepared MCNPs showed 96–98% adsorption of MO by adding 0.2 mg of cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to form mixed hemimicelles and can be easily regenerated with a 0.1 mol L–1 HCl solution.

In this study, three magnetic flocculants with different chelating groups, namely, carboxymethyl chitosan-modified Fe 3 O 4 flocculant (MC), acrylamide-grafted magnetic carboxymethyl chitosan flocculant (MCM), and 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid copolyacrylamide-grafted magnetic carboxymethyl chitosan flocculant (MCAA) were prepared, synthesized, and characterized by photopolymerization technology. They were applied to the flocculation removal of Cr(III), Co(II), and Pb(II). The effect of flocculation condition on the removal performance of Cr(III), Co(II), and Pb(II) was studied. Characterization results show that the three magnetic carboxymethyl chitosan-based flocculants have been successfully prepared with good magnetic induction properties. Flocculation results show that the removal rates of MC, MCM, and MCAA on Cr(III) are 51.79%, 82.33%, and 91.42%, respectively, under the conditions of 80 mg/L flocculant, pH value of 6, reaction time of 1.5 hr, G value of 200 s −1 , and precipitation magnetic field strength of 120 mT. The removal rates of Co(II) by MC, MCM, and MCAA are 54.33%, 84.99%, and 90.49%, respectively. The removal rates of Pb(II) by MC, MCM, and MCAA are 61.54%, 91.32%, and 95.74%, respectively. MCAA shows good flocculation performance in composite heavy metal-simulated wastewater. The magnetic carboxymethyl chitosan-based flocculant shows excellent flocculation performance in removing soluble heavy metals. This research provides guidance and ideas for the development of efficient and low-cost flocculation technology to remove heavy metals in wastewater.
