Synthesis pathway governs Si-O-Fe bonding uniformity and functional group exposure. • GPFC-H unlocks pH-switchable synergy: charge neutralization (acidic) and hydrophobic association (alkaline). • GPFC-H achieves 91.2% HA removal at pH 6.0 and 74% at pH 9.6, versus < 41% for PFC. • The GPFC-H route requires no post-treatment and is compatible with spray drying. • Spray-dried powder retains > 90% coagulation activity after 28-day storage. Long-chain silane coupling agents like dimethyloctadecyl[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ammonium chloride (TPODAC) promise enhanced coagulation performance through hydrophobic interactions, yet their practical application is crippled by uncontrolled hydrolysis and detrimental self-condensation during conventional synthesis. This study demonstrates that the synthesis pathway fundamentally governs Si-O-Fe bonding configuration, colloidal stability, and the resulting coagulation mechanisms. By systematically comparing four synthesis strategies with modulated silane hydrolysis states and component addition sequences, a clear structure-property hierarchy is established through multi-method characterization (FTIR, XPS, XRD, zeta potential) and coagulation performance evaluation. The optimal route, pre-hydrolyzed silane grafted onto pre-formed polymeric ferric chloride (GPFC-H), suppresses silane self-condensation and yields uniform Si-O-Fe covalent bonding with fully exposed quaternary ammonium and C18 hydrophobic chains. This structural perfection unlocks a rare pH-switchable multi-mechanism synergy. At pH 6.0, GPFC-H achieves 91.2% humic acid removal via charge neutralization. Remarkably, at pH 9.6 where conventional coagulants fail (<41% removal), GPFC-H maintains 74% removal through hydrophobic association mediated by its pH-insensitive C18 chains. GPFC-H also achieves 78% Sb(V) removal at pH 7.0, versus 65% for PFC. Furthermore, this synthesis route requires no post-treatment and is compatible with spray drying; the obtained solid powder retains > 90% of its initial activity after 28-day storage, demonstrating its practical potential for industrial production and long-distance transport. By establishing causal links from synthesis pathway to bonding structure to pH-adaptive performance, this work transforms hybrid coagulant preparation from empirical optimization into a designable strategy for advanced water purification.

A glycoside prodrug of 4-aminosalicylic acid (4-ASA) with d -glucose was synthesized for targeted drug delivery to inflammatory bowel. The in vitro assessment of 4-aminosalicylic acid-β-O-glucoside (4-ASA-Glu) as a colon-specific prodrug was studied using colitis rat with the healthy one as control. The stability studies in aqueous buffers (pH 1.2, 6.8 and 7.4) indicated that 4-ASA-Glu was stable over a period of 12 h. The incubation of 4-ASA-Glu with cecal or colonic contents of healthy rats at 37 °C released 4-ASA in 77 or 80% of the dose in 12 h, respectively. The amount of 4-ASA liberated from the incubation of 4-ASA-Glu in cecal or colonic contents of colitis rats at 37 °C was 69 or 79% in 12 h respectively, while less than 9% 4-ASA was detected from the incubation of 4-ASA-Glu with the homogenates of stomach or small intestine . The curative effect of 4-ASA-Glu was evaluated in 2, 4, 6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) induced experimental colitis model in male Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats. It was found that 4-ASA-Glu possess significantly ameliorate effect than sulfasalazine , oral 4- and 5-aminosalicylic acid.

Odor analysis of human milk (HM) is often challenging. Here, a new strategy for the analysis of odorants in HM using dynamic headspace sampling combined with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography–olfactometry-mass spectrometry (DHS/GC × GC-O-MS) was established based on the comparison of different extraction methods and instrument modes. Overall, DHS/GC × GC-O-MS was proved to be able to provide higher extraction efficiency and better analytical results of the odor-active compounds (OACs) in HM, meanwhile, the salt addition during the extraction further promoted the release of the odorants. Twenty key OACs in HM were identified by flavor dilution analysis and odor activity calculation, of which 1-octen-3-one, 2,3-butanedione, ( E )-2-nonenal, and nonanal contributed significantly to the odor of HM. In addition, 2,3-pentanedione was detected as a key OAC in HM for the first time. This study provided a powerful analytical strategy for the comprehensive odor analysis of HM.

Summary The electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 is an attractive method for reducing greenhouse gases and producing chemical feedstocks. However, the activation of C=O bonds limits the reaction kinetics; therefore, understanding the mechanism of C=O bond activation can guide the design of high-performance catalysts. Here, we investigate the C=O bond activation mechanism during the electroreduction of CO 2 to CO on ZnO. Using in situ experimental techniques and quantum chemical calculations , we find that defects in ZnO promote the formation of Zn–ZnO x interfaces during CO 2 reduction, which mediates an intimate-junction exciton state by the metal semiconductor heterophase. This promotes the formation of CO 2 radicals, exposing electron donation centers for CO 2 adsorption and redox centers for cleaving stable C=O bonds. The internal electric field generated by the heterojunction enhances the initial C=O activation by facilitating the interaction between the metalized Zn d-orbital and the O π -orbital in CO 2 .

Estrogens have been demonstrated to inhibit age-related cognitive decline via binding to estrogen receptors (ERs). As a natural flavonoid component of Cuscuta Chinensis Lam. , Kaempferol-3- O -glucoside (K-3-G) not only possesses anti-neuroinflammatory potential but also functions as an agonist for ERα and ERβ. This study aimed to determine whether K-3-G improved cognition during the aging process, with an emphasis on its effect on microglial inflammation. In vivo , K-3-G (5 or 10 mg/kg/day) was orally given to the senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) mice from six to eight-month old. In addition to mitigating the memory and learning deficits of SAMP8 mice, K-3-G upregulated the expression of ERα and ERβ in their hippocampal CA1 region, with the higher dose being more effective. Less Iba-1 + microglial cells presented in SAMP8 mice treated with K-3-G. The formation of NLR Family Pyrin Domain Containing 3 (NLRP3) complex, production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress-related markers, as well as expression of pro-apoptotic proteins were reduced by K-3-G. In vitro , BV2 microglial cells exposed to oligomeric amyloid beta (Aβ) 1-42 were treated with 100 μM K-3-G. K-3-G showed similar anti-inflammatory effects on BV2 cells as in vivo . K-3-G-induced alterations were partly diminished by fulvestrant, an ER antagonist. Moreover, dual-luciferase reporter system demonstrated that K-3-G induced ER expression by activating the transcription of estrogen-response elements (EREs). Collectively, these findings demonstrate that K-3-G may be a novel therapeutic agent for senescence-related cognitive impairment by inhibiting microglial inflammation through its action on ERs.

Electrocatalytic depolymerization of lignin into value-added chemicals offers a promising technique to make biorefining sustainable. Herein, we report a robust trimetallic PdNiBi electrocatalyst for reductive C-O bond cleavage of different lignin model dimers and oxidized lignin under mild conditions. The reduction reaction proceeds with complete substrate conversion and excellent yields toward monomers of phenols (80%–99%) and acetophenones (75%–96%) in the presence of an ionic liquid electrolyte with operational stability. Systematic experimental investigations together with density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the outstanding performance of the catalyst results from the synergistic effect of the metal elements, which facilitates the easier formation of a key C α radical intermediate and the facile desorption of the as-formed products at the electrode. The results open up new opportunities for lignin valorization through the green electrocatalytic approach.

The widespread use of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in many fields has brought convenience to human lives but has also caused unavoidable environmental pollution issues. In particular, the resistance gene problem resulting from accumulating antibiotics that cannot be fully absorbed by biological individuals has been a concern; thus, it is urgent to find efficient technologies to boost the degradation efficiency of antibiotics in the environment. Here, an ε-MnO2catalyst was prepared by a novel droplet-interface-drying method and utilized as a Fenton-like catalyst for efficiently degrading ciprofloxacin (CIP). The ε-MnO2shell was formed preferentially at the gas–liquid interface and then continued to decompose into ε-MnO2with abundant O vacancies in the air-insulated microcavity. The XPS result confirms that this particular preparation method can regulate the content of O vacancies in the material. Compared with ε-MnO2samples obtained by the direct drying method (ε-MnO2-B), the catalytic performance of ε-MnO2prepared by the droplet-interface-drying method (ε-MnO2-P) is significantly improved. By activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) with the ε-MnO2-P catalyst, the CIP degradation efficiency can reach 84.1%. The detection and analysis of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the ε-MnO2-P/PMS oxidation system confirms that ·OH, SO4·−and1O2are the main ROS for CIP degradation. This study highlights the creation of miniature hypoxic space to regulate the content of O vacancies in ε-MnO2, providing a new idea for the synthesis of other O-vacancy-rich materials.Keywords:droplet-interface-drying method;Fenton-like oxidation;ε-MnO2;ciprofloxacin;water purification

Nowadays, materials that possess high activity and natural oxygen vacancy have garnered significant attention as potential electrode materials for supercapacitors . In this study, we successfully prepared the Hf 6 Ta 2 O 17 (HTO) nanofibres (NFs) with an orthorhombic superlattice structure using the electrospinning technique and sintering process. The characterization results indicate that the HTO NFs synthesized at 750 °C show good micro nanostructures and outstanding electrochemical properties . To enhance its energy storage performance, additional oxygen vacancies (OVs) were introduced through a carbothermal treatment under an Ar atmosphere. Although longer reduction reaction times can produce more OVs, the integration of grain boundaries and the growth of grain size caused by large annealing times may limit its electrochemical performance. Therefore, the HTO NFs treated for 1 h (HTO/C-1) exhibited the maximum C s of 925 F·g −1 at 1 A·g −1 with a larger voltage window of 2.1 V. Furthermore, a symmetric supercapacitor fabricated by two reduced HTO NFs electrodes and 1 M Na 2 SO 4 solution, recorded as r-HTO NFs//r-HTO NFs. The device demonstrated excellent energy density of 73.3 Wh·kg −1 (at power density of 1050 W·kg −1 ) and a long cycling life (81.8% retained after 5000 cycles). These results suggest that the optimized reduction process can provide appropriate oxygen vacancies in HTO NFs, thereby effectively enhancing its performance.

Resveratrol , a non-flavonoid polyphenol found mainly in red grapes and peanuts, with excellent antioxidant and protein-binding properties. This present work was aimed to systematically investigate the effects and mechanism of incorporation of different levels (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, and 2.0 mM) of resveratrol on the interfacial adsorption behaviour and protein-lipid co-oxidation of whey protein isolate (WPI)-stabilised oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. The results showed that the physical stability of the O/W emulsion was gradually enhanced with increasing resveratrol levels, which was clearly evidenced by increasing absolute ζ-potential values and decreasing droplet size. Moreover, the content of adsorbed proteins (AP) slightly increased as a function of resveratrol level, which evidenced that resveratrol could effectively modulate the interfacial adsorption behaviour of WPI in O/W emulsions. Meanwhile, molecular docking simulation showed that the resveratrol could bind to WPI through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction. Compared to unadsorbed proteins (UAP), the structural characteristics and molecular mass of AP were more affected by resveratrol, which was confirmed and characterised by electrophoresis and fluorescence. Furthermore, incorporation of resveratrol only retarded, but did not completely inhibit, protein-lipid co-oxidation of O/W emulsions under an accelerated oxidation condition, as demonstrated by oxidation stability, hierarchical cluster, and correlation analysis. Our results clearly demonstrated that the resveratrol could modulate the interfacial adsorption of WPI and retard the protein-lipid co-oxidation of WPI-stabilised O/W emulsions with enhanced storability, further broadening the application of resveratrol in the food industry.

In this study, we encapsulated epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) in emulsified oil droplets of protein-stabilized emulsions for the first time, with the participation of peppermint essential oil (PEO). Gum arabic (GA) and sodium caseinate (SC) were sufficiently crosslinked to construct the oil-water interface of the emulsion, improving the stability of EGCG in the emulsified oil droplets. When SC and 4 g/kg GA were mixed for 12 h before emulsification, the protein adsorption at the oil-water interface was significantly enhanced. Compared with the SC-stabilized emulsion, the retention of EGCG in the emulsion stabilized by mixing SC and 4 g/kg GA for 12 h increased about 2 and 33 times, respectively, after thermal treatment (30 min at 90 °C) and storage 10 weeks at 4 °C. Moreover, the emulsion stabilized by SC and 4 g/kg GA was resistant to the ionic strength of 0–0.6 mol/L and had predominantly elastic characteristics in the rheological properties. This indicates that the stability of active ingredients in emulsified oil droplets can be improved by regulating the rheological properties of the oil-in-water emulsion. The study is of great value for the efficient encapsulation and stability improvement of hydrophilic active ingredients in emulsified oil droplets based on emulsion systems.

Simultaneous oxidation of benzyl alcohol (BA) and reduction of p-dinitrobenzene (p-DNB) over Gd-doped TiO 2 nanorods decorated with poly(o-phenylenediamine, PoPD) nanowires was reported in this work. The doping of TiO 2 with Gd induced surface defects, i.e., oxygen vacancy (OV) and the Ti 3+ –on-Ti 4+ site, while incorporating PoPD highly enhanced the light absorption capability and electron conductivity of TiO 2 nanorods , as confirmed by UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and electrochemical measurements, respectively. BA was selectively oxidized by photogenerated h + to form benzaldehyde with a yield of 70.5% in water and 90.6% in acetonitrile solvent. Conversely, p-DNB was selectively reduced to p-nitroaniline (p-NA) with a yield of 89.1% in acetonitrile and to p-phenylenediamine (p-PDA) of 85.0% yield in water. This work demonstrates a vital strategy to utilize the full economic potential of photogenerated charge carriers and the decisive role of solvent for product selectivity in the course of selective organic transformations.

Reducing the recombination rate of photoexcited electron–hole pairs is always a great challenging work for the photocatalytic technique. In response to this issue, herein, a novel Z-scheme CuInS2/In2O3 with interfacial S–O linkages was synthesized by a hydrothermal and subsequently annealing method. The Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) measurements confirmed the formation of covalent S–O bonds between CuInS2 and In2O3. The quenching and electron spin resonance (ESR) tests revealed the Z-scheme transfer route of photogenerated carriers over the CuInS2/In2O3 heterojunctions, which was further verified theoretically via density functional theory (DFT) calculations. As expected, the CuInS2/In2O3 heterojunctions showed significantly boosted photocatalytic activities for lomefloxacin degradation and Cr(VI) reduction under visible light illumination compared with the bare materials. Accordingly, a synergistic photocatalytic mechanism of Z-scheme heterostructures and interfacial S–O bonding was proposed, in which the S–O linkage could act as a specific bridge to modify the Z-scheme manner for accelerating the interfacial charge transmission. Furthermore, the CuInS2/In2O3 heterojunction also exhibited excellent performance perceived in the stability and reusability tests. This work provides a new approach for designing and fabricating novel Z-scheme heterostructures with a high-efficiency charge transfer route.
