To enable sensitive quantitative detection of zearalenone (ZEN) in cereal matrices, this study develops a molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor. A three-dimensional flower-shaped carbon composite material (CoNiZn@C), synthesized from a ternary CoNiZn metal–organic framework, was utilized as a highly conductive substrate featuring excellent electrical conductivity and abundant binding sites. Density functional theory calculations were conducted to elucidate the intermolecular interactions and cooperative recognition mechanisms between zearalenone and the selected monomers. Experimentally, the AuNPs-based thioaniline units (PATP@AuNPs) and pyrrole were employed as bifunctional monomers. Specifically, PATP@AuNPs can be stably immobilized on the substrate surface to enhance interfacial electron transfer efficiency, while simultaneous in situ copolymerization of the two monomers generates numerous non-covalent binding cavities capable of specifically recognizing ZEN. Under optimized experimental conditions, the sensor exhibited a linear detection range from 10 nM to 1000 µM and a detection limit as low as 1.6 nM. This detection approach is straightforward, cost-effective, and demonstrates excellent specificity and sensitivity, indicating substantial potential for rapid screening and quantitative analysis of mycotoxins in agricultural products.

A major Chinese woody oil plant with unsaturated-fatty-acid-rich seeds for biodiesel and edible oil,Xanthoceras sorbifoliumtolerates drought but not waterlogging; salicylic acid (SA), a key stress response signal, is inexpensive, safe, and effective for enhancing stress tolerance. Two-year-old saplings ofXanthoceras sorbifoliumwere used as materials. They were sprayed with 0.5 mmol·L−1SA for 3 days (based on prior studies), and then waterlogged for 10 days; physiological and transcriptomic data were collected. SA significantly increased height, diameter, and root dry weight by 392.6%, 450.0%, and 242.4% compared to water control; enhanced osmotic regulatory substances, antioxidant enzyme activities, secondary metabolites, and root activity; and reduced malondialdehyde content and relative electrical conductivity by 23.40% and 148.7%. SA-enhanced antioxidant defense correlated with synergistic transcriptional regulation. Transcriptome analysis showed that SA up-regulated key enzyme genes involved in flavonoid synthesis, such as PAL and 4CL, and regulated hormone signal transduction-related genes such as SAUR and DELLA. Key transcription factor genes were also screened, mainly including members of the MYB, bHLH, and ERF families. SA alleviated waterlogging damage. Meanwhile, this study provides valuable insights into the molecular basis of the response to waterlogging stress regulated by salicylic acid, and offers important theoretical and practical significance for the promotion and cultivation ofXanthoceras sorbifoliumin rainy southern regions of China.

A strategy for plasma-coupled O v -rich catalytic hydrogen production is proposed. • The catalyst shows high activity and universality for hydrogen production. • Synergistic cascade from plasma dissociation to catalytic surface reforming. • The key mechanism of “hydrogen promotion and anti-coking” were revealed. Hydrogen production from plastics contributes to the circular economy by enabling both waste valorisation and green energy generation. Integrated pyrolysis-plasma catalytic technology offers notable advantages in improving hydrogen production, but it still faces challenges such as catalyst coking and limited understanding of the reaction mechanisms. This study proposes a water vapor plasma-coupled oxygen vacancy-rich (O v -rich) catalytic strategy to systematically investigate the improved hydrogen production from plastics over an anti-coking catalyst. The results show that the O v -rich catalyst exhibits outstanding hydrogen production activity, strong synergistic effect, and universality in the non-thermal plasma catalytic (NTP-C) reforming reaction of mixed model compounds in plastic pyrolysis oil. Crucially, its practical effectiveness was successfully validated in the NTP-C reforming of polyethylene (PE)/polypropylene (PP) pyrolysis oils. Moreover, the O v -rich catalysts significantly inhibited coking and maintained good stability for 1800 min in a multi-component mixed system. The mechanisms of hydrogen production and coking inhibition were revealed via Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, in situ plasma-coupled Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (DRIFTS), and Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES). A synergistic reaction pathway, coupling plasma gas-phase dissociation with catalytic surface reforming, was identified as a key mechanism for enhancing hydrogen yield in plasma-catalytic systems. The study offers valuable insights for advancing plasma-assisted hydrogen production technologies. Download: Download high-res image (150KB) Download: Download full-size image

Pectin oligosaccharides have emerged as promising prebiotics whose biological activities are closely tied to their structural features, particularly monosaccharide composition. However, systematic experimental evidence regarding how different monosaccharide compositions collectively influence gut microbiota modulation, SCFA production, and the metabolomic responses of mixed pectin oligosaccharides remains limited. To address this gap, Pool-I (27.92% galacturonic acid, rich in neutral sugars including galactose, glucose, and arabinose) and Pool-II (98.73% galacturonic acid) were evaluated by comparison with inulin, a reference prebiotic, using an in vitro human fecal fermentation model. Microbial community structure, SCFA production, and metabolomic profiles were assessed at 12 h and 24 h via 16S rRNA gene sequencing, gas chromatography, and untargeted metabolomics, respectively. Inulin exhibited superior enrichment of Actinobacteria (predominantly Bifidobacterium ) and consistently higher total SCFA production (24.07 ± 0.25 mmol/L acetic acid at 24 h vs. 20.27 ± 0.28 and 20.53 ± 0.76 mmol/L for pectin oligosaccharides), particularly propionic and butyric acids. Although Pool-I and Pool-II yielded lower overall SCFA concentrations, they significantly enriched beneficial SCFA-producing genera (including Coprococcus_3 , Butyricicoccus , and Parabacteroides ) at 24 h. Metabolomic analysis revealed that Pool-I uniquely upregulated twenty-six differential metabolites ( VIP > 1, p < 0.05), including taurine ( VIP = 2.40, p < 0.001), L-proline ( VIP = 1.72, p = 0.015), and pantothenate ( VIP = 1.63, p < 0.001), while reducing uric acid ( VIP = 1.05, p < 0.001), whereas only two differential metabolites were identified for Pool-II. We conclude that monosaccharide composition is a key determinant of the prebiotic efficacy of pectin oligosaccharides: Pool-II selectively promotes SCFA-producing taxa, whereas Pool-I elicits broader metabolic regulation. These effects provide a theoretical foundation for developing pectin oligosaccharides as potential prebiotic candidates.

Sterilization technologies for microorganisms in food are limited by safety and antibiotic residue concerns and resistance, creating an urgent need for novel sterilization methods. Photothermal conversion nanomaterials can rapidly convert near-infrared light into thermal energy, offering fast, efficient, and environmentally friendly sterilization, leading to their increasing application. Herein, we designed and prepared a composite multilayer photothermal nanomaterial (MCOF@Au@PEI NPs), integrating “capture-photothermal sterilization-separation and recycling” functions and achieving rapid and efficient sterilization. The material maintains high photothermal conversion efficiency even after multiple cycles and exhibits excellent biocompatibility. Using Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus as model bacteria in milk and drinking water, the material achieves a 100% bacterial sterilization rate within 435 seconds under irradiation, equivalent to pasteurization. Moreover, the material exhibits potent destructive effects on bacterial biofilms, showing broad application prospects in developing novel nano-photothermal sterilization methods and antibiotic alternative therapies.

Microbial Contamination serves as an important issue in dairy safety. CRISPR/Cas12a-based methods possess tremendous potential, but are limited by nucleic acid pretreatment and specialized operations. Herein, a photothermal nanomaterial-assisted enhanced One-Tube CRISPR/Cas12a system was established to detect S. typhimurium in milk . S. typhimurium was lysed through the photothermal effect to obtain genomic DNA. A multi-crRNA strategy enables rapid signal accumulation, and the whole system was integrated into a single tube via trehalose-based aqueous biphasic systems. The proposed method requires only one step of sample addition to achieve sensitive detection within 40 min, with an LOD of 10 CFU/mL, showing potential in application.

Organophosphorus nerve agents pose grave risks to human health and ecology, creating an urgent demand for high-performance detection and remediation techniques. This work fabricates an all-in-one sensing-degradation platform with UiO-67@AuNCs/MnO 2 nanozyme and AChE biorecognition element, where MnO 2 acts as a reversible switch to regulate fluorescence and oxidase-like activity. The system delivers inverse dual optical signals for self-verification, greatly boosting detection precision. Tested on real sarin and soman, its colorimetric and fluorescent LODs reach 10 −3 –10 −4 ng·mL −1 , 2–7 orders of magnitude lower than most reported sensors. Benefiting from UiO-67's porous structure, the composite adsorbs nerve agents and achieves over 80% sarin and 70% soman degradation within 6 h at room temperature without extra energy or reagents, eliminating secondary contamination risks. Capable of universal screening of organophosphorus toxins, this multifunctional platform holds great value for military chemical defense and civilian environmental monitoring, offering a simple integrated strategy for simultaneous pollutant detection and detoxification.

Rapid and reliable detection of foodborne pathogens is essential for ensuring food safety, yet achieving high selectivity and sensitivity in complex matrices remains challenging. Herein, we report a sensitive and selective electrochemical sensing platform integrating a bacteria-imprinted polymer (BIP) capture interface with concanavalin A-functionalized Fe 3 O 4 (Fe 3 O 4 -ConA) for the detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 ( E. coli O157:H7). The BIP film was electropolymerized in situ on glassy carbon electrode to generate recognition sites for efficient capture of E. coli O157:H7. Subsequently, Fe 3 O 4 -ConA bound to surface glycans on the captured bacteria through lectin-glycan interactions, forming a sandwich-like sensing interface. The anchored Fe 3 O 4 nanozyme catalyzed the H 2 O 2 -mediated oxidation of o -phenylenediamine, producing amplified electrochemical signals for bacterial quantification. Benefiting from the combination of imprinting-based recognition and catalytic amplification, the sensor achieved an ultrasensitive detection limit of 2.8 CFU mL −1 and a linear range from 10 1 to 10 5 CFU mL −1 . Recoveries of 93.29–113.62% were obtained in spiked milk, fish, and juice samples, with reliable detection down to 10 CFU mL −1 in complex food matrices. This work provides an effective strategy for constructing nanozyme-amplified electrochemical sensors for sensitive and selective monitoring of foodborne pathogens.

Sea cucumber peptide products are valued for their high cost and potent biological activity, making it essential to monitor Escherichia coli contamination to ensure quality control. A novel sandwich assay had been developed, integrating magnetic enrichment with positive magnetic beads, magnetophoretic chromatographic separation, and nanozyme-mediated colorimetric photothermal detection to quantify Escherichia coli O157:H7 ( E. coli O157:H7). This approach used amino-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -NH 2 ) for effective bacterial concentration, demonstrating substantial capture efficiency. Magnetophoretic separation further enhanced enrichment, achieving a capture efficiency exceeding 85% for high-concentration samples (10 7 CFU/mL). An aptamer specific to E. coli O157:H7, modified on V-doped manganese dioxide nanozyme encapsulated by ZIF-90 (V-MnO 2 @ZIF-90), served as the secondary binding agent, ensuring high specificity. This configuration resulted in the formation of the Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -NH 2 - E. coli O157:H7-V-MnO 2 @ZIF-90/Apt sandwich complex. Upon the addition of ABTS, both colorimetric and photothermal signals were generated, yielding a detection limit of 1 × 10 CFU/mL for sea cucumber peptides samples, with the total detection time being approximately 75 min. This method presents significant promise for the rapid separation and detection of pathogenic bacteria in food products.

This study introduces a new bioactive Janus membrane for guided bone regeneration (GBR) to treat periodontal bone defects. • Unlike conventional barrier membranes that lack long-term stability or biological function, our bilayer membrane, composed of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), chitosan (CS), and the natural polyphenol proanthocyanidin (PA), combines mechanical strength with antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. • Its asymmetric design, with in situ biomineralized hydroxyapatite particles (HAp) on a chitosan layer, supports bone growth on one side while preventing bacterial invasion on the PA-incorporated side. • This innovative approach addresses major challenges in periodontal tissue engineering and offers a promising platform for more effective and biologically intelligent therapies in clinical bone regeneration. The achievement of periodontal bone regeneration using a barrier membrane in guided bone regeneration (GBR) technology is often limited by either its inferior mechanical strength or bioactivity. To address this limitation, we developed a novel Janus bi-layer membrane by sequentially electrospinning poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) mixed with proanthocyanidin (PCL-PA) and chitosan (CS) in acetic acid, then biomineralized it in simulated body fluid (BSF) to form hydroxyapatite particles (HAp) in situ on a CS nanofiber layer (CS-HAp): PCL-PA/CS-HAp. This bi-layer membrane exhibited superior mechanical performance compared to single-layer membranes, with a peeling strength of 58 J/m 2 and tensile strength exceeding 5.0 MPa under hydrated conditions. In vitro antioxidant assays demonstrated the strong free-radical-scavenging ability of PCL-PA/CS-HAp. In addition, the PA-incorporated membranes exhibited greater than 95% bacterial inhibition against both Gram-negative E. coli and Gram-positive S. aureus . The bilayer membrane also alleviated oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), thereby promoting the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells, as monitored by cytoskeletal staining. Flow cytometry analysis showed that the PA-incorporated membrane can stabilize immunomodulatory effects by about 10% in lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. When used in a rat periodontal bone defect model, significant bone regeneration was observed in the PCL-PA/CS-HAp group, with a bone volume to total volume ratio of 36.2% and a significant reduction in bone defect size after 8 weeks, outperforming other treatment groups ( p < 0.001). The PCL-PA/CS-HAp bi-layer membrane represents a promising strategy for guided bone regeneration, effectively combining mechanical stability and bioactive properties. A bi-layer barrier membrane, PCL-PA/CS-HAp, prepared via electrospinning, was effective for periodontal bone regeneration in a rat model.

A dual-mode sensing platform has been developed for ultrasensitive malathion (MAT) detection based on bifunctional rGO@ZnO/Zn-Fe 3 O 4 composites (reduced graphene oxide-supported ZnO nanorods and Zn-doped Fe 3 O 4 microspheres). The rGO@ZnO/Zn-Fe 3 O 4 nanozyme is fabricated via a one-pot hydrothermal strategy and integrates favorable electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emission and intrinsic peroxidase-mimicking activity to realize dual-signal readout. In the K 2 S 2 O 8 ECL system, Au NPs@UiO-66 serves as a coreactant booster to further magnify the ECL intensity of the composite. Meanwhile, the nanozyme catalyzes the H 2 O 2 -mediated oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to produce a colorimetric response. MAT suppresses both ECL and colorimetric responses by occupying Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ catalytic sites and scavenging of reactive radicals. The sensor achieves limits of detection as low as 2.8 × 10 –13 mol/L under ECL mode and 1.32 × 10 –6 mol/L under colorimetric mode. In practical testing of MAT-spiked vegetable samples, the sensor exhibits acceptable recoveries and low relative standard deviations, demonstrating its practicability for field food safety supervision and rapid pesticide residue screening.

First piezo-responsive MOF heterostructure for mechanical Cr(VI) reduction. • F-modified MOF and ZnO loading synergistically boost piezoelectric response. • Efficient piezo-catalytic interface enables ultrafast Cr(VI) reduction. • 10 ppm Cr(VI) completely reduced to undetectable level within only 15 s. Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is highly toxic and carcinogenic; its reduction to Cr(III) remains the most viable remediation strategy. Piezoelectric catalysis, which converts mechanical energy into chemical energy via built-in electric fields, offers a sustainable route for pollutant degradation. However, the application of piezoelectric Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) in heavy metal reduction remains largely unexplored. Herein, we report a strategy of fluorination combine with ZnO loading to construct piezoelectric MOF heterostructures for ultrafast Cr(VI) reduction. The optimized ZnO/UiO-66-F 4 completely reduced 10 ppm Cr(VI) to below detection limits within merely 30 s under sonication, substantially outperforming pristines. Systematic characterizations and DFT calculations revealed that fluorination depresses the conduction band to −0.91 V vs. NHE, establishing a type-II staggered band alignment with ZnO that synergizes with the piezoelectric field to drive vectorial charge separation, as corroborated by markedly reduced charge-transfer resistance and prolonged fluorescence lifetime with enhanced quantum yield. Mechanistic investigations further identified the interfacial Zn Zr dual-atom site as the true catalytic center, exhibiting the strongest Cr(VI) adsorption affinity and the lowest activation energy barrier for the rate-determining step. The catalyst demonstrated exceptional durability, retaining 98.2% removal efficiency after five cycles with negligible metal leaching. This work pioneers the application of piezoelectric MOFs in heavy metal remediation and establishes a molecular-level electronic modulation strategy for mechanical-energy-driven water purification. Piezoelectric ZnO/UiO-66-F 4 heterostructure was constructed via fluorine modification coupled with ZnO loading, demonstrating superior piezocatalytic performance for Cr(VI) reduction under ultrasonic vibration.
