Organic compounds containing multiple hydroxyl groups, namely α-cyclodextrin and γ-cyclodextrin, were used as additives for promoting Ni dispersion on supported Ni/SBA-15 catalysts. Catalysts prepared using modified and unmodified impregnation methods were characterized using N 2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, temperature-programmed reduction, and thermogravimetric analysis, and their catalytic performance in the CO 2 reforming of methane (CRM) to syngas was evaluated. The results show that compared with Ni/SBA-15 prepared using a conventional impregnation method, the cyclodextrin-modified catalysts had smaller NiO particles. They also exhibited higher catalytic activity and had stronger ability to resist carbon deposition in the CRM. Mechanistic studies showed that for the unmodified catalysts, Ni 2+ could migrate into the channels of SBA-15 as a result of concentration differences, and the Ni species were sintered during the following thermal treatment processes, and could not be well dispersed. In contrast, various types of complex were formed between Ni(NO 3 ) 2 and the cyclodextrins, and this would be favorable for Ni 2+ being taken into the channels of the SBA-15. The presence of cyclodextrins was beneficial to the mutual isolation of Ni species, and finally resulted in better dispersion of Ni species.

An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the optimum dietary γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) level in low fishmeal diet for juvenile Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei . Six practical diets (449 g kg −1 protein, 87 g kg −1 lipid) supplemented with graded levels of GABA (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 mg kg −1 ) were formulated. Each diet was randomly assigned to triplicate groups of 30 shrimps (approximately 0.44 g), and the shrimps were fed four times a day to apparent satiation. Weight gain and gain rate were significantly increased with the supplementation of GABA ( P < 0.05). Hepatosomatic index and survival were also significantly influenced by the dietary GABA levels ( P < 0.05) and show a similar trend to those of growth performance. Insulin and neuropeptide Y concentrations in blood were increased with the supplementation of GABA. In total, 150 mg GABA kg −1 -supplemented diets significantly increased the survival after 12, 24 and 36 h of NH 3 stress, also increased the total antioxidant capacity, total superoxide dismutase, catalase, antihydroxyl radical and phenoloxidase activities before and after the 36 h NH 3 stress compared to basic group. These results clearly indicated that GABA could improve growth performance, antioxidative capacity and resistance against NH 3 stress in L. vannamei , and 150 mg kg −1 GABA supplementation was suitable for L. vannamei fed with low fishmeal diet.

C60/Fe2O3 nanocomposites are successfully prepared, well characterized, and employed in visible-light-driven photocatalytic H2 production. The Fe2O3 polymorphs show obvious broad-spectrum absorption, even close to the near infrared region (780–900 nm). The H2 production rates of β-Fe2O3 and γ-Fe2O3 are almost 2.1 times and 3.1 times higher than α-Fe2O3 (which itself is close to that of g-C3N4). This demonstrates that carefully controlling the polymorphs can tune the photocatalysts' H2 production properties. After modifying the Fe2O3 polymorphs with C60, the sample with 0.5 wt% C60/β-Fe2O3 has the optimum photocatalytic activity. This result indicates that the strength of the interaction and interfacial contact between C60 and Fe2O3 polymorphs plays an important role in the enhancement of photocatalytic activity, which can improve the transmission efficiency of photogenerated electrons via a conjugated three-dimensional π system. Fluorescein is introduced as a photosensitizer and the optimum mass ratio of fluorescein + 0.5C60/β-Fe2O3 is 1 : 1, which significantly boosts the photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 0.5C60/β-Fe2O3 from 321.8 to 1665.0 μmol g−1 h−1. Meanwhile, the composites exhibit high stability and reusability.

Biomass derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is regarded as an important platform molecule for the synthesis of value-added chemicals and fuels, but the high production cost has always been a bottleneck for the industrial scale use of HMF. Different mineral acids (HCl and H2SO4) being used as the catalyst and different salts being used as the reaction promoter were evaluated. It was found that HCl, in combination with NaCl, in a water/γ-valerolactone system showed high selectivity and impressive efficiency for the synthesis of HMF from glucose. The optimal conditions to obtain the best HMF yield (62.45%) were 0.2 M HCl and 0.1 M NaCl at 140 °C with a residence time of 60 minutes. An 18.22% molar yield of LA was obtained as a by-product. The effect of different anions was also investigated, and it was determined that not only the hydrogen ions, but also the nature of the acid and the type of salt played a joint role in improving the HMF yield. In addition, a possible synthesis pathway was proposed for large scale production of HMF.

Injectable adhesive hydrogels combining rapid gelling with robust adhesion to wet tissues are highly required for fast hemostasis in surgical and major trauma scenarios. Inspired by the cross-linking mechanism of mussel adhesion proteins, we developed a bionic double-crosslinked (BDC) hydrogel of poly (γ-glutamic acid) (PGA)/poly (N-(2-hydroxyethyl) acrylamide) (PHEA) fabricated through a combination of photo-initiated radical polymerization and hydrogen bonding cross-linking. The BDC hydrogel exhibited an ultrafast gelling process within 1 s. Its maximum adhesion strength to wet porcine skin reached 254.5 kPa (9 times higher than that of cyanoacrylate (CA) glue) and could withstand an ultrahigh burst pressure of 626.4 mmHg (24 times higher than that of CA glue). Notably, the BDC hydrogel could stop bleeding within 10 s from a rat liver incision 10 mm long and 5 mm deep. The wound treated with the BDC hydrogel healed faster than the control groups, underlining the potential for emergency rescue and wound care scenarios.

Genistein (GEN) is the most abundant aglycone in soy isoflavones and is a key factor distinguishing soybeans from other food sources. It holds significant nutritional value and exhibits notable biological activity. However, the low water solubility of genistein limits its widespread application. To improve its water solubility, this study prepared γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD)/GEN inclusion complexes and investigated their mechanism of action in alleviating hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress damage in PC12 cells. The results showed that γ-CD/GEN could be uniformly and stably dispersed in the system. Cell experiments indicated that γ-CD/GEN significantly increased cell survival after treatment with organic hydrogen peroxide, and promoted the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4). It also improved mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, thereby alleviating cell damage caused by oxidative stress. Further Nrf2 knockdown experiments revealed that γ-CD/GEN failed to provide protection, and no protective effect was observed under RSL3 intervention. In conclusion, γ-CD/GEN exerts antioxidant effects by activating the Nrf2/GPx4 pathway, thereby reducing oxidative stress damage induced by organic hydrogen peroxide, providing a theoretical basis for the development of novel antioxidants.

Tin-containing β zeolite exhibits excellent catalytic performance in various biomass conversions to high-value chemicals due to its strong Lewis (L) acidity produced by framework Sn 4+ sites. However, it is difficult to incorporate Sn species into the framework of β zeolite due to that the ionic radius of Sn (0.69 Å) is larger than that of Si (0.40 Å). Herein, organic additives with carbonyl, hydroxyl , aldehyde or amine groups were used to stabilize Sn species in the gel and framework Sn 4+ in the zeolite. Among all additives, acetone (AC) has the best stabilizing effect on Sn species. The stabilization effect between AC and Sn 4+ sites was observed by FT-IR. The characterization results indicate that more tin species were incorporated into β framework and the L acid density increased due to the complexation between carbonyl group and Sn species. Compared to Sn-β-3d synthesized without additive, the L acid density of Sn-β-AC-3d increased by ∼50% (from 21 μmol g −1 to 34 μmol g −1 ). For the conversion of ethyl levulinate to γ-valerolactone, the reaction reached equilibrium faster over Sn-β-AC-3d than over Sn-β-3d at the investigated reaction temperatures. A yield of 98% was obtained over Sn-β-AC-3d at 110 °C. Besides, Sn-β-AC-3d exhibited good stability and reusability.

γ-Cyclodextrin-based metal-organic frameworks (γ-CD-MOF) were successfully synthesized using the solvent diffusion method and applied as carriers for trans-N-p-coumaroyltyramine (N-p-t-CT, NCT) to study the solubability, stability, sustained release and inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase. The solubilization effect of γ-CD-MOF on N-p-t-CT was performed using impregnation (NCT@CD-MOF-1) and co-crystallization (NCT@CD-MOF-2) methods. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope (SEM), fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), and N2 adsorption/desorption were used to characterize the MOFs before and after loading NCT. The results showed that NCT@CD-MOF-2 had a better solubability for N-p-t-CT, 145.03 μg/mg of drug loading capacity could be achieved, and the solubility of NCT@CD-MOF-2 in water was 366 times higher than free N-p-t-CT. In addition, the stabilities of N-p-t-CT under temperature, UV light and pH conditions were greatly improved after encapsulation in γ-CD-MOF. Furthermore, NCT@CD-MOFs had a sustained release of N-p-t-CT over an extended period in vitro due to the primary encapsulation in pore structures. Notably, γ-CD-MOF loaded with N-p-t-CT showed superior inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase compared to free N-p-t-CT. Cytotoxicity studies demonstrated that NCT@CD-MOF-2 had low toxicity in vitro and perfect biocompatibility with HL-7702 cells, and γ-CD-MOF could reduce the toxicity of free N-p-t-CT at higher concentrations.

Furfurylamine is an important furfural-upgrading biobased chemical for the production of pharmaceuticals, biofuels, fibers, additives, polymers, etc. In one-pot reaction system, biomass was tandemly catalyzed to furfurylamine with aluminium-based alkaline-treated graphite (Al-AG) catalyst and recombinant ω-transaminase biocatalyst. Al-AG (3.6 wt%) catalyzed corncob (75.0 g/L) to 110.0 mM furfural at 56.8% yield (based on xylan in corncob) in γ-valerolactone–water (1:4, v:v; pH 1.0) for 40 min at 180 °C. The pH-adjusted corncob-slurry (pH 7.5) containing furfural were catalyzed to furfurylamine at high yield with γ-valerolactone-tolerant Aspergillus terreus ω-transaminase biocatalyst at 35 °C using isopropylamine (3 mol isopropylamine/mol furfural) as amine donor. Such an efficient and sustainable approach for catalytic conversion of biomass to high-value-added biobased furfurylamine was successfully established in tandem reaction with Al-AG and ω-transaminase biocatalyst.

The efficient and synchronous monitoring of diverse harmful gases by one portable sensor has recently become a hot topic due to the vast majority of reports for only sensing a given gas. Herein, two types of hollow microspheres cross-linked through γ-WO 3 nanosheets were controllably prepared by simple pyrolysis of commercial ammonium metatungstate (AMT). Among, the orange product obtained by air calcination at 400 °C is trace (NH 4 ) 0.33 WO 3 doped γ-WO 3 composite, and has broad mesoporous structure, rich oxygen vacancies and the synergistic catalysis of surface W 6+ Lewis acid. These unique factors help to promote the diffusion of gas molecules, expose more active sites for chemical reaction, increase the conductivity of sensitive material and modulate the state of surface adsorbed oxygen species, which in turn effectively improve its sensitive capability toward diverse noxious gases. The (NH 4 ) 0.33 WO 3 /WO 3 sensor achieves response values of 234 for 5 ppm NO 2 at low 50 °C and 170 for 100 ppm diisopropylamine (DIPA) at 170 °C. Meanwhile, it also displays low detection concentrations, good reversibility and moisture resistance, as well as practical detection for vehicle exhaust and prometryn. This is also the first report of a WO 3 -based sensor that can simultaneously achieve dual-detection of trace NO 2 and DIPA. Moreover, the temperature-tuned dual-response mechanism has also been discussed in detail.

In this study, Ce-doping Fe-based nanozymes were employed to construct a simple multichannel colorimetric sensor array for the identification and detection of quinolone antibiotics. The study demonstrates that Ce doping effectively induced a phase transformation from α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 7 (PO 4 ) 6 (Fe-P) to γ-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 7 (PO 4 ) 6 composites (0.5-Ce/Fe-P) after a phosphorization treatment. This transformation led to enhanced peroxidase (POD)-like activity in 0.5-Ce/Fe-P compared to Fe-P, thanks to the excellent catalytic properties of γ-Fe 2 O 3 and the porous nature of the composites. The proposed colorimetric sensor exhibited wide linear ranges: 0.05–2.5 μM and 200–650 μM for norfloxacin (NOR), 0.05–2.5 μM and 350–750 μM for ciprofloxacin (CIP), and 0.05–2.5 μM and 300–650 μM for enrofloxacin (ENR), with the low detection limits of 0.78, 0.80 and 7.18 nM, respectively. Furthermore, the study employed principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) to successfully distinguish between NOR, CIP and ENR, demonstrating the sensor array's ability to differentiate antibiotics. This study contributes to the food safety and environmental protection field by providing a novel tool for monitoring antibiotics in drinking water.

Straw-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) is widespread in farmland soils, but the relationship between straw-derived DOM and As in their co-sorption on minerals and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, batch experiments and spectroscopic analyses were employed to investigate the co-sorption of straw-derived DOM and As(III/V) on γ-Al 2 O 3 . Results showed a trade-off between the As(III/V) and DOM immobilization on γ-Al 2 O 3 under different pH levels, which was caused by competitive sorption. The rape straw-derived DOM (DOM_Ra) exhibited a stronger inhibition on As(III/V) sorption than rice straw-derived DOM (DOM_Ri). This could be due to more aromatic fractions in the DOM_Ra and DOM_Ri, which were preferentially sorbed by γ-Al 2 O 3 . In turn, the preferential sorption of aromatic DOM components was weakened by As(V) sorption, which, however, was not found in As(III) and DOM co-sorption. Furthermore, spectral results indicated that carboxylic groups on the sorbed DOM could provide additional binding sites for As(III/V) to form ternary complexes, but its role was overwhelmed by the DOM competitive sorption, which ultimately exhibited the inhibitory effect of DOM on As(III/V) sorption. These findings enhance the fundamental understanding of the co-sorption of As(III/V) and DOM on soil minerals and contribute to predicting As mobility and OM stability in As-contaminated farmlands with straw return.
