An extreme green and economical strategy for producing fluorescent carbon nanodots (CDs) by pyrolysis and microwave treatment of cotton is proposed for the first time. The fabricated CDs exhibit exceptional advantages including high fluorescent quantum yield , excellent biocompatibility, low-toxicity, and satisfactory chemical stability. Depending on these superior properties, the CDs have been applied in multicolor imaging, patterning, and sensing, respectively. According to the confocal fluorescent imaging of human uterine cervical squamous cell carcinoma cells, the CDs can penetrate into the cell and enter the cytoplasm and nucleus, suggesting pleasurable promise for bioimaging . Additionally, the obtained CDs have been used as fluorescent inks for drawing luminescent patterns, showing favorable application in anti-counterfeit and optoelectronic dimensions. Most strikingly, the as-prepared CDs can sensitively and selectively detect Fe 3+ ions in a linear range of 5.0 × 10 −8 –1.0 × 10 −5 M with a detection limit as low as 2.7 × 10 −8 M.

It is well known that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients are always trapped in the vicious circle of inflammation and oxidative stress , therefore anti-inflammatory and antioxidant bifunctional agents may interrupt this vicious cycle in COPD. Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitors, as anti-inflammatory drugs, have been used for COPD treatment in clinical, and the PDE4 inhibitors with antioxidant properties may be a good strategy to design bifunctional agents for COPD. Sappanone A was the first PDE4 inhibitor with antioxidant properties we identified from natural products in our previous study, which was used by us as a hit compound to design new bifunctional agents for COPD in this study. 27 derivatives of sappanone A including homoisoflavonoids , aurones and chalcones were designed and synthesized by innovatively fusing the antioxidant pharmacophore of catechol from polyphenols and the pharmacophore of catechol ether abstracted from the PDE4 inhibitors of the catechol ether class such as rolipram , roflumilast and apremilast respectively. All the compounds were assayed for the PDE4 inhibitory and radical scavenging against 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) activities in vitro. Herein we obtained a series of bifunctional compounds with better PDE4 inhibitory activity than sappanone A, and their free radical scavenging activities were superior to edaravone in vitro. In addition, they can reduce tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) production induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in RAW264.7 macrophages and malondialdehyde (MDA) production induced by Fe 2+ in mouse lung homogenate . Meanwhile, it showed outstanding abilities in reducing Fe 3+ and complexing Fe 2+ . 6o , as the candidate anti-inflammatory and antioxidant bifunctional compound, exhibited good drug-likeness, ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion) properties and human liver microsomal stability. In vivo, 6o (50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, i. p.) distinctly prevented LPS-induced serum levels of TNF-α in mice. In conclusion, the preliminary investigation provided a novel class of PDE4 inhibitors with antioxidant properties as bifunctional agents for the potential treatment of COPD, which can interrupt the vicious cycle of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress in COPD.

Designing sustainable natural biomass adhesives with high bonding performance (particularly cold-pressing bonding strength) while maintaining excellent coating, mildew resistance, and flame-retardant properties is important for developing formaldehyde-free wood adhesives. Inspired by the wet adhesion system of scallops, we developed a novel bionic soybean meal (SM) adhesive with excellent bonding strength. In this adhesive system, keratin (KT) acts as a source of disulfide bonds (S–S) contributing formation/exchange donor, while Fe 3+ ions formed dynamic coordination bonds with carboxyl groups and tannic acid, resulting in strong adhesion. The multiple crosslinking network system synergistically enhanced the adhesion, resulting in a cold-pressing bonding strength of 582.4 kPa, which is an improvement of 171.3 %. The dry and wet bonding strength was 3.19 MPa and 1.34 MPa, which was increased to 73.4 % and 97.1 % compared to the SM adhesive, respectively. Additionally, the adhesive exhibited desirable mildew resistance (under storage for 15 days) and superior flame resistance, which was attributed to the synergistic inhibition by the metal cations and phenolic hydroxyl groups. The design of this bionic system offers a novel approach for developing environmentally friendly wood adhesives.

To improve the degradation efficiency of g-C 3 N 4 (CN), transition metal elements (Fe and Co) were doped into CN. A novel Co, Fe co-doped CN (Co/Fe-CN) photocatalysts with small size and irregular flake structure were successfully prepared by thermal polymerization of melamine . Co/Fe-CN has a large specific surface area (55.76 m 2 /g), which provides more adsorption sites and reaction sites for the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). Good visible light response performance (474 nm) and suitable band gap (2.83 eV) ensure that it could be excited by visible light. The active species of • O 2 - , 1 O 2 , • OH and SO 4 •- could be stably produced in Co/Fe-CN/Vis/PMS system with appropriate redox potential . Meanwhile, Co and Fe elements doped in CN also could effectively activate PMS and promote the generation of active species. Besides, the continuous generation of photogenerated electrons promoted the cycling of Co 3+ /Co 2+ and Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ , and further enhanced the degradation efficiency of Co/Fe-CN/Vis/PMS towards Levofloxacin (LVFX). LVFX could be rapidly removed, reaching 92.1% within 50 min under visible light illumination, and the kinetic rate constant of LVFX was 0.0638 min -1 . The quenching experiments verified that the 1 O 2 was the main active species in the reaction process. The cycling experiments revealed that the Co/Fe-CN/Vis/PMS system had favorable stability and applicability. This work provides a simple preparation method to fabricate bimetallic co-doped CN for the enhancement of degradation rate in the Photocatalyst/Vis/PMS system.

Broad interest in developing new commercial hemostatic agents has been widely aroused for massive blood loss in terms of hospital surgery and on the battlefield. In this study, we report biomimetic red-blood-cell like (RBC-like) hydrogel microspheres with controllable surface morphology by adjusting the proportion of carboxylated chitosan (CM) and gelatin (G) using Fe 3+ as crosslinking agent. It is worth noting that the microspheres are similar to RBCs in the dry state, with a microporous structure on the surface and a hollow structure inside, and enable restoration to the microsphere shape after absorbing water. The CMG1 microspheres show the best hemostatic effect, as indicated by whole blood coagulation in vitro and rat liver and leg artery damage models in vivo . The microspheres exhibit antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) and Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ). In addition, the microspheres have satisfactory degradation performance, hemocompatibility, biocompatibility and histocompatibility. This study indicates that these RBC-like microsphere-based hemostatic powders facilitate a physical barrier in wounds by forming aggregations. In addition, the micropores on the surface of the microspheres make it swell rapidly by absorbing blood, aggregating coagulation factors, activating platelets and ultimately accelerating the coagulation cascade to facilitate hemostasis. In conclusion, CMG1 hydrogel microspheres present potential application in the field of emergency hemostasis.

Recently, materials with complicated environmentally-sensitive abilities, high stretchability and excellent conductive sensitivity are interesting actuators in future applications. Herein, we fabricated a versatile and facile polyvinyl alcohol/polyacrylic acid/dialdehyde cellulose nanofibrils-Fe 3+ hydrogel integrated with programmable dual-shape memory properties, high mechanical strength, good recoverability, and heat-induced self-healing capability. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of hydrogen bonds and dual metal coordination bonds of cellulose-based dialdehyde and carboxyl with Fe 3+ and then heating-freeze-thawing cycle treatment, the obtained hydrogel exhibited dual shape memory abilities, high tensile strain (up to 600 %), good self-recovery, and anti-fatigue properties. Moreover, the resultant hydrogel sensors showed revealed high strain sensitivity (gauge factor = 2.95) and satisfactory electrochemical performance; and such hydrogel-based sensor could be used as ionic skin to detect various human motions in real-time and barrier-free communication in the aquatic environment. The composite hydrogel with superior and versatile performances reported in this study could offer a great promise to be applied under extreme conditions as multifunctional sensors.

Polyphenols have been utilized to connect hydrophobic modifiers with certain substrates because of their adhesive properties and multiple active groups in their structure. Nevertheless, research is scarce regarding using polyphenols to enhance the superhydrophobic properties of polyamide . In this study, a plant-derived phenolic compound , p-coumaric acid (pCA), was chelated with Fe 3+ and deposited on the polyamide 66 (PA66) surface to increase its roughness. Subsequently, octadecanethiol was grafted onto pCA using a thiol-ene click chemistry reaction to create a superhydrophobic modified PA66 fabric (pCA-Fe-SH-PA66) with a static water contact angle (CA) of 154.4° and a sliding angle (SA) of 2°. The resulting pCA-Fe-SH-PA66 demonstrated excellent capabilities in self-cleaning, UV-blocking, photothermal conversion, and oil-water separation. Furthermore, pCA-Fe-SH-PA66 exhibited remarkable antibacterial ability, displaying inhibitory rates of 97.00% against E. coli and 96.15% against S. aureus , respectively. Additionally, it demonstrated noteworthy stability in a series of tests, encompassing 225 min of washing, 1000 cycles of abrasion, 48 h of UV light aging, 48 h of acid/base solution, seawater, and organic reagents immersion. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that three additional plant-derived phenolic compounds, namely 3-hydroxycinnamic acid (HA), polyatin (PD), and 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxycinnamic acid (HDA), can also be effectively utilized for the multifunctional modification of PA66 fabric. The proposed modification method is mild, fast, and simple, offering a novel approach to the multifunctional modification of synthetic materials. The modified PA66 fabric holds potential in applications such as oily wastewater treatment , outdoor sportswear, tents, and other fields.
