A prototype of environmentally friendly and low-cost fluorescence sensor, consisting of spinach-extracted chlorophyll- a modified alkali-treated peanut shell (denoted as chlorophyll- a @peanut shell), is achieved and used for trace detection of Hg 2+ in aqueous solutions through fluorescence quenching method. The chlorophyll- a @peanut shell exhibits a linear dynamic detection range from 0 to 19 × 10 −8 M for Hg 2+ with a detection lower limit of 8.5 × 10 −9 M. The feasibility of sensitive and selective detection of Hg 2+ using the chlorophyll- a @peanut shell is also demonstrated in the test of Hg 2+ in synthetic polluted lake waters, showing excellent anti-interference ability to common impurities like silt and alga. Further experiments demonstrate that the improved sensing property of the chlorophyll- a @peanut shell for Hg 2+ than that of chlorophyll- a in solution is ascribed to the selective Hg 2+ adsorption of the alkali-treated peanut shell, which might also be used for the remediation of Hg 2+ in polluted waters. The design concept using non-toxic plants may open a new door to the environmentally friendly and low-cost materials for detection and remediation of environmental pollutants .

The rational design of an outer shell is of great significance to promote the photocatalytic efficiency of core-shell structured photocatalysts. Herein, a covalent organic framework (COF) nanoshell was designed and deposited on the cadmium sulfide (CdS) core surface. A typical COF material, TPPA, featuring exceptional stability, was synthesized through interfacial polymerization using 1, 3, 5-triformylphloroglucinol (TP) and p-phenylenediamine (PA) as monomers. The nanoshell endows the CdS@TPPA nanosphere with ordered channels for unimpeded light-harvesting and fast diffusion of reactants/products and well-defined modular building blocks for spatially charge separation. Moreover, the heterojunction formed between CdS and TPPA can further facilitate the effective charge separation at the interface via lower exciton binding energy compared with that of pristine TPPA. By modulating the thickness of TPPA nanoshell, the CdS@TPPA nanosphere photocatalyst with the nanoshell thickness of about 8±1 nm exhibits the highest photocatalytic H2 evolution of 194.1 μmol h-1 (24.3 mmol g-1 h-1, 8 mg), which is superior to most of the reported COF-based photocatalysts. The framework nanoshell in this work may stimulate the thinking about how to design advanced shell architecture in the core-shell structured photocatalysts to achieve coordinated charge and molecule transport.

Hermetia illucens , with a short growth cycle, is promising as a valuable source of chitin. However, the optimal method for extracting chitin from this insect and its application for hemostasis has not been addressed. This work employed an environmentally friendly choline chloride-lactic acid deep eutectic solvent technology to extract chitin effectively from the Hermetia illucens pupae shells, realizing one-step removal of inorganic salts and proteins. The extraction process was optimized through the response surface methodology, which identified the optimal temperature (92 °C), time (5.6 h), and liquid-solid ratio (20 mL/g) as the conditions that yielded the highest chitin yield (28.40 %) and the highest purity (96.93 %). The structural characterization of the extracted chitin revealed an α-type structure with favorable thermal stability. Furthermore, by regulating the degree of deacetylation, we optimized the degree of protonation of chitin for producing a series of chitosan (Cts), thereby enabling the production of Cts2 with excellent in vitro hemostatic properties. The superior hemostatic performance of Cts2 can be attributed to significantly superior platelet adhesion, achieved preferred adsorption of fibrinogen, and improved blood coagulation. This work provides a theoretical basis for the efficient extraction and high-value application of chitin from Hermetia illucens .

The discovery of materials as soil conditioners for the improvement of soil nitrogen-use efficiency provides a promising strategy for simultaneously addressing production and pollution problems in agriculture. Herein, adsorption–desorption performance and mechanisms of ammonium (NH4+–N) by a poly(acrylic acid)-grafted chitosan and biochar composite (PAA/CTS/BC) were studied to evaluate its potential in soil amendment. Furthermore, mathematical models were further applied to explore the effects of PAA/CTS/BC on controlling soil NH4+–N loss. Results suggest that PAA/CTS/BC showed a high capacity of NH4+–N adsorption, with a maximum value of 149.25 mg·g–1 at 25 °C, considerably higher than most of the reported BC-based adsorbents. Fast adsorption of NH4+–N was completed with an efficiency of >90% within 20 min, primarily attributed to the dominant electrostatic interactions with carboxyl groups. Adsorbed NH4+–N was capable of being easily re-released with the variation of the liquid-phase concentration because of the weak binding of NH4+–N with the material. These results demonstrate that the PAA/CTS/BC can be considered as a nitrogen slow-release medium to dynamically maintain a plant-available NH4+–N concentration in the soil. Finally, the mathematical simulation of NH4+–N flow in the PAA/CTS/BC-amended soil revealed that soil NH4+–N loss was effectively reduced by 24.18–31.77% at a 1.57–2.02% material dosage during a 10-week rice cultivation.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries exhibit a high specific capacity (1675 mAh g −1 ) but poor S conductivity and severe shuttle effects. Selenium (Se) can greatly mitigate these disadvantages, but its theoretical capacity is relatively low (675 mAh g −1 ). A series of S x -Se y compounds supported by chitosan-derived carbon with intertwined carbon nanotube (CC + CNT) carriers exhibit the high capacity of S, the stability of Se, and the excellent conductivity of C, complementing their individual defects. S 2 Se 1 /CC + CNT shows the best electrochemical performance (833.2 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles). Characterization results reveal the structure–activity relationships and complex reaction mechanisms of the prepared electrode materials. The overall reactions are a combination of basic Li-S and Li-Se reactions. The discharge steps are clearly identifiable, while the reaction sequences are slightly adjusted and fully integrated when charging. This work provides a foundation for future research and for the practical application of chalcogenides in lithium-metal batteries.

Enriching high-value chemicals from the pyrolysis of agricultural and forestry waste is an efficient way to achieve sustainable development and large-scale application of biomass pyrolysis. Phenols, as important chemical raw materials, spices and food additives, have attracted widespread attention. Herein, a novel technical route of torrefaction pretreatment combined with fractional condensation in pyrolysis loop was proposed to enrich the phenols in liquid products. In this study, the enrichment of phenols from the pyrolysis loop of walnut shell under the combination of torrefaction and fractional condensation was explored using a fixed-bed pyrolysis reactor equipped with a three-stage condensation system. Simultaneously, the effects of torrefaction on feedstocks were investigated through a thermogravimetric analyzer based on the characteristics of feedstocks. The results showed that the torrefaction and pyrolysis loop had a negative impact on the pyrolysis efficiency and the yield of liquid products, while the change in the condensation efficiency depended on the combined effects of torrefaction and pyrolysis loop. In addition, phenols tended to be enriched in the second condensation stage, especially phenol, o-cresol, 4-ethylphenol. Importantly, torrefaction could significantly enrich phenols in the liquid products, and the enrichment of phenols is relatively increased by 109.44% at least. Moreover, the pyrolysis loop was also beneficial to the enrichment of phenols, which was at least 90% higher than that of walnut shell. This study provided a potential route to enrich high value-added products from the pyrolysis loop of lignocellulosic biomass.

The bamboo shoot shell fibers were extracted by using environmental protection oxidant sodium percarbonate combined with alkali oxygen bath method. To explore the influence of various factors on its degumming, the efficiency of degumming through single-factor and orthogonal experiments was assessed. The results showed that the used method had a good effect on the degumming of bamboo shoot shell fiber, and most of the non-cellulose components such as hemicellulose, lignin, and pectin had been removed. After the treatment, the cellulose content and crystallinity were 73.19% and 61.40%, respectively. Taking the degumming rate as the index, the factors such as dosage of sodium percarbonate and hydrogen peroxide, soaking temperature, and time in alkali boiling treatment were optimized. The results showed that the degumming rate was 69.17% when the scouring temperature was 90°C, the alkali boiling time was 120 min, the dosage of sodium percarbonate was 24 g/L, and the dosage of hydrogen peroxide was 40 mL/L. The structure and properties of bamboo shoot shell fiber were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The prepared bamboo shoot shell fibers would be considered as a promising and sustainable raw material for the textile industry and other prospects in the future.

A composite of a core–shell structured nanowires with ZnO as a core and conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) as a shell was prepared. At first, the hexagonal ZnO nanowires, with diameter of about 80–100 nm and length 4–5 μm, were fabricated by hydrothermal synthesis process. Then a thick layer of poly(trifluoroethyl methacrylate)- block -poly(sodium styrene sulfonate) (PTFEMA- b -PSSNa) was grafted from the surface of ZnO nanowires via atom transfer free radical polymerization. At last, with the ZnO@PTFEMA- b -PSSNa as a template and the PSSNa chain as the counterion dopant, PEDOT was precipitated onto the surface of the template to form the composite of ZnO@PEDOT/PSSNa. With the evaluation of the EDOT polymerization, the thickness of the PEDOT layer increased steadily. However, as the ratio of EDOT/ZnO was greater than 1:2, the ZnO nanowires templates were dissolved at last and then PEDOT particles were produced due to increasing of the acidity during the oxidation polymerization of EDOT. In this case, the product was the mixture of the nanotubes and particles of PEDOT/PPSNa. The electrochemical capacitances of the composites with different structures were investigated with cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge–discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques with three-electrode cell configuration. The maximum specific capacitance of ZnO@PEDOT electrode can reach 101.34 F/g at 20 mV/s.

Recently, layered IV–VI metal monochalcogenides have attracted a lot of attention because of their unique properties. Among them, tin monoxide (SnO) has been widely studied as thin films for the application in high-mobility p-channel transistor and photoelectricity device
fabrication. In this work, we successfully synthesized SnO nanoshells through a facile solution chemical method. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images confirmed the morphology of these nanoshells. The surface chemical composition was investigated
by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Raman and photoluminescence spectra were used to study the optical properties of nanoshells with different sizes, which were formed in different concentrations. We found that the special nanostructure may result in abundant
Sn or O vacancies on the surface of nanoshells, and these defects resulted in a broad photoluminescent signal. This work provided a solution synthesis method to prepare SnO and other IV–VI metal monochalcogenides as well as their promising applications in optical device.

Artemia egg shell loaded with nano-magnesium (shell-Mg) can be used to recover phosphorus from wastewater. The exhausted Artemia egg shell-Mg (denoted as shell-Mg-P) can be used as a slow-release fertilizer for phosphorus reuse. However, due to the coexistence of heavy metal ions in the environment, the application of slow-release fertilizer for phosphorus removal and reuse may have potential risks. In this paper, the potential risks of Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ , Zn 2+ and Cu 2+ in phosphorus wastewater and soil were studied from the formation and application process of shell-Mg-P. The result showed that shell-Mg adsorbed Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ , Zn 2+ and Cu 2+ in phosphate wastewater during the formation of shell-Mg-P and became shell-Mg-P-metal hybrid biomaterial . Although the experiment proved that the existence of heavy metal ions did not affect the phosphorus slow-release behavior of slow-release fertilizer, but the heavy metal ions in the shell-Mg-P-metal were also slow released. The pot experiment results confirmed that the slow-release phosphorus fertilizers (shell-Mg-P and shell-Mg-P-metal) in the soil polluted in low concentration of heavy metals can reduce the amount of heavy metals in whole wheat seedlings and promote wheat seedling growth. However, the application of slow-release fertilizers increased the translocation efficiency (T FR to SL ) of metal from root (R) to aboveground part (stem and leaves, SL), promoted the transportation of heavy metals from roots to the stems and leaves, and increased the safety risk of the wheat seedling edible. Therefore, besides the positive role of slow-release fertilizers in retaining heavy metals and reducing the amount of heavy metals in whole seedlings, the risk that it may aggravate the translocation of heavy metals to stems and leaves should be paid more attention, so as to ensure the safe and reliable application of slow-release fertilizers.

Yolk-shelled hollow structures with unique structural features are incredibly attractive for energy storage systems . Here we present a self-template strategy to prepare carbon coated yolk-shelled Fe 3 O 4 -CeO 2 hollow spheres. First, yolk-shelled Fe-Ce glycerate precursors are designed by a solvothermal method. Afterward, the carbon coated yolk-shelled Fe 3 O 4 -CeO 2 hollow spheres are eventually synthesized via calcinations the obtained precursors in Ar. Such unique structures endow the Fe 3 O 4 -CeO 2 with abundant inner cavities, large surface area and more electroactive site. As electrode material for supercapacitors , a large capacity of 430 C g −1 is obtained at 2.0 A g −1 , and it can be as high as 198.4 C g −1 even at 20 A g −1 . Moreover, it also takes outstanding rate capability and superior cycling durability (only 5.2 % capacity reduction over 5000 cycles at 6.0 A g −1 ). Furthermore, a quasi-solid-state flexible asymmetric supercapacitor device is constructed by Fe 3 O 4 -CeO 2 cathode and activated carbon anode . The device manifests a high energy density of 46.6 Wh kg −1 at 2.0 A g −1 ( versus 1650 W kg −1 power density). Even at 15 A g −1 , the energy density is still 21 Wh kg −1 with 12,441 W kg −1 . We envision that this work not only explores a promising electrode material for supercapacitors, but also provides an alternative avenue to prepare yolk-shelled hollow structures toward energy storage applications .
