Abstract
Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are nanomaterials (NMs) derived from natural clays and have been considered as biocompatible NMs for biomedical uses. However, the cardiovascular toxicity of HNTs has not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we compared the cardiotoxicity of HNTs and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), focusing on the changes in Kruppel-like factor (KLF)-mediated signaling pathways. Mice were intravenously injected with 50 µg NMs, once a day, for 5 days, and then mouse hearts were removed for experiments. While HNTs or MWCNTs did not induce obvious pathological changes, RNA-sequencing data suggested the alterations of KLF gene expression. We further confirmed an increase of Klf15 positive cells, accompanied by changes in Klf15-related gene ontology (GO) terms. We noticed that most of the changed GO terms are related with the regulation of gene expression, and we confirmed that the NMs increased myoneurin (Mynn) but decreased snail family transcriptional repressor 1 (Snai1), two transcription factors (TFs) related with Klf15. Besides, the changed GO terms also include metal ion binding and positive regulation of glucose import, and we verified an increase of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (Pck1) and insulin receptor (Insr). However, HNTs and MWCNTs only showed minimal impact on cell death signaling pathways, and no increase in apoptotic sites was observed after NM treatment. We concluded that intravenous administration of HNTs and MWCNTs activated a protective TF, namely Klf15 in mouse aortas, to alter gene expression and signaling pathways related with metal ion binding and glucose import.

Abstract
In the past few years, significant research efforts have been directed toward improving the electrochemical capabilities of supercapacitors by advancing electrode materials. The present work signifies the development of poly(lactic acid)/alloysite nano-clay as an electrode material for supercapacitors. Physico-chemical characterizations were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and a universal testing machine. Cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and galvanostatic charge-discharge techniques were employed to evaluate electrochemical characteristics. The optimized poly(lactic acid)/halloysite nano-clay film revealed the highest specific capacitance of 205.5 F g-1 at 0.05 A g-1 current density and showed 14.6 Wh kg-1 energy density at 72 W kg-1 power density. Capacitance retention of 98.48% was achieved after 1000 cycles. The microsupercapacitor device presented a specific capacitance of 197.7 mF g-1 at a current density of 0.45 mA g-1 with 10.8 mWh kg-1 energy density at 549 mW kg-1 power density.

Abstract
The fascinating electrochemical properties of the redox-active compound ferrocene have inspired researchers across the globe to develop ferrocene-based electrocatalysts for a wide variety of applications. Advantages including excellent chemical and thermal stability, solubility in organic solvents, a pair of stable redox states, rapid electron transfer, and nontoxic nature improve its utility in various electrochemical applications. The use of ferrocene-based electrocatalysts enables control over the intrinsic properties and electroactive sites at the surface of the electrode to achieve specific electrochemical activities. Ferrocene and its derivatives can function as a potential redox medium that promotes electron transfer rates, thereby enhancing the reaction kinetics and electrochemical responses of the device. The outstanding electrocatalytic activity of ferrocene-based compounds at lower operating potentials enhances the specificity and sensitivity of reactions and also amplifies the response signals. Owing to their versatile redox chemistry and catalytic activities, ferrocene-based electrocatalysts are widely employed in various energy-related systems, molecular machines, and agricultural, biological, medicinal, and sensing applications. This review highlights the importance of ferrocene-based electrocatalysts, with emphasis on their properties, synthesis strategies for obtaining different ferrocene-based compounds, and their electrochemical applications.

Abstract
We demonstrate in this work the practical use of uniform mixtures of a bioresin shellac and four natural clays, i.e. montmorillonite, sepiolite, halloysite and vermiculate as dielectrics in organic field effect transistors (OFETs). We present a thorough characterization of their processability and film forming characteristic, surface characterization, elaborate dielectric investigation and the fabrication of field effect transistors with two classic organic semiconductors, i.e. pentacene and fullerene C60. We show that low operating voltage of approximately 4 V is possible for all the OFETs using several combinations of clays and shellac. The capacitance measurements show an improvement of the dielectric constant of shellac by a factor of 2, to values in excess of 7 in the uniform mixtures of sepiolite and montmorillonite with this bioresin.

Abstract
The quest for advanced water purification technologies has been vigorous over recent decades, motivated by the promise of ever more efficient, greener, and affordable tools. Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are naturally-occurring materials that have shown potential as dye sorbents. Unfortunately, these nanoclays suffer from low permeation during water treatment, which limits their widespread application. Here, we use cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as structural scaffolds to support HNTs and fabricate permeable aerogel sorbent materials with mechanical stability. Aerogels containing 40 wt% HNTs showed a maximum dye adsorption capacity of 60 mg g-1 towards methylene blue, with only 15% decay in efficiency after 5 cycles. The good mechanical properties of these materials allowed for their incorporation into free-flowing purification columns that displayed excellent dye removal ability. Overall, this work provides a new strategy to fabricate green, renewable, and low-cost sorbent materials for the removal of dyes and shows potential for the sorption of other ionic pollutants.

Abstract
Kaolinite (Kaol)-methanol (MeOH) compounds (Kaol-Me) are widely used as the starting materials for further intercalation. The conventional approach to prepare Kaol-Me compounds is to wash dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-intercalated Kaol (Kaol-DMSO) for 16 days, and MeOH must be refreshed every day. Herein, we report a new and much more efficient method to prepare Kaol-Me from Kaol-DMSO by the promotion of AlCl3 under mild conditions, and the corresponding mechanism is investigated. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray fluorescence characterization results reveal that the electric double layer resulting from the impurities absorbed on the kaolinite surface prevents weakly polar molecules from entering the kaolinite interlayers, which is probably the key reason that MeOH must be refreshed daily in the preparation of Kaol-Me compounds. After being treated with HCl to remove the impurities, Kaol-Me-HCl was successfully intercalated by cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide and subsequently predominantly curled into nanoscrolls.

Abstract
A representative transition metal oxide (TMO), CoMn2O4 (CMO), is recognized as an effective peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activator with disadvantages like limited reactive sites and metal leakage. Herein, novel catalysts were synthesized by anchoring CMO on kaolinite (Kln) and halloysite (Hal) matrixes, two natural clay minerals with lamellar and tubular structures, for PMS activation in pharmaceutical degradation. Hal and Kln helped to control the crystallinity of CMO spontaneously with induce oxygen vacancies (OVs), which significantly enhanced the working efficiency. The reaction rate constants of Hal/CMO and Kln/CMO towards OFX degradation were nearly triple and twice that of bare CMO, respectively, with a 60% decrease in metal usage. The formation of OVs provided additional active sites for the reaction and accelerated the electron transfer. CMO/Hal and CMO/Kln exhibited better stability and durability than CMO, while CMO/Kln showed higher structural stability with lower metal leaching after 3 rounds of reaction. The higher crystallinity of CMO/Kln resulted in less OVs, but higher structural stability. The universal applicability of CMO/Hal and CMO/Kln were verified by using three other pharmaceuticals as probes. This work shed light on the modification of TMO catalysts by introducing clay mineral substrates for the efficient and ecofriendly remediation of pharmaceuticals in wastewater.

Abstract
Chitin, a fascinating biopolymer found in living organisms, fulfills current demands of availability, sustainability, biocompatibility, biodegradability, functionality, and renewability. A feature of chitin is its ability to structure into hierarchical assemblies, spanning the nano- and macroscales, imparting toughness and resistance (chemical, biological, among others) to multicomponent materials as well as adding adaptability, tunability, and versatility. Retaining the inherent structural characteristics of chitin and its colloidal features in dispersed media has been central to its use, considering it as a building block for the construction of emerging materials. Top-down chitin designs have been reported and differentiate from the traditional molecular-level, bottom-up synthesis and assembly for material development. Such topics are the focus of this Review, which also covers the origins and biological characteristics of chitin and their influence on the morphological and physical-chemical properties. We discuss recent achievements in the isolation, deconstruction, and fractionation of chitin nanostructures of varying axial aspects (nanofibrils and nanorods) along with methods for their modification and assembly into functional materials. We highlight the role of nanochitin in its native architecture and as a component of materials subjected to multiscale interactions, leading to highly dynamic and functional structures. We introduce the most recent advances in the applications of nanochitin-derived materials and industrialization efforts, following green manufacturing principles. Finally, we offer a critical perspective about the adoption of nanochitin in the context of advanced, sustainable materials.

Abstract
The fine particulate matter (PM) pollution has become a serious concern to public health. As the core part of PM air filters, high-performance electrostatic nanofiber membranes are urgently needed. However, the existing air filters remain challenging to further decrease the pressure drop to improve the wearer comfort. On the other hand, the rapidly disappearing static electricity of the existing electrostatic nanofiber inevitably gives rise to a relatively short service life. Here, we demonstrate a novel and enhanced electrostatic nanofiber membrane by introducing the halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) to the traditional electrospun PAN nanofiber membrane. The optimal PAN-HNTs nanofiber membrane shows a high removal efficiency of 99.54%, a low pressure drop of 39 Pa, and a high quality factor of 0.89 Pa-1. This greatly improved filtration performance can be attributed to the increased surface area and diameter of nanofiber after introducing the HNTs as additives with suitable doping concentrations. More importantly, compared with the pure PAN nanofiber membrane, the electrostatic capacity of the PAN-HNTs nanofiber membrane is significantly enhanced, which is confirmed by the leaf electroscope. After introducing the HNTs as additives, the surface of the PAN-HNTs nanofiber membrane becomes hydrophilic, which benefits for preventing foulants from attaching to the surface. We anticipate that the PAN-HNTs nanofibers as high-performance membrane air filters will bring great benefits to public health.

Abstract
Four types of ionic liquids (ILs) of [X]TFSI ([X]+ is a cation such as 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium BMIm+, 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium BMPyrr+, 1-butyl-1-methylpiperidinium BMPip+ and methyltrioctylammonium MOc3Am+ and TFSI- is the bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion) were confined in halloysite nanoclay (Hal) at an excess ionic liquid concentration (IL : Hal ∼55 : 45 wt%) and studied by X-ray diffraction, TG, DSC analysis and FTIR spectroscopy. It was found that the physicochemical properties of ILs trapped by halloysite at maximum loading are similar to those of bulk ILs and change depending on the cation type and size. The cold crystallization temperature (T cc) and melting point (T m) of the crystalline mesophase in confined BMIm+ and BMPyrr+ ionic liquids are higher than in the bulk ones, while in the amorphous BMPyrr+ mesophase, the T cc and T m values decrease by 9.7 and 14.2 °C, respectively. Confined BMPip+ and MOc3Am+ only have the glass transition temperature (T g), which increases by 1.5 and 8.0 °C, respectively, compared to bulk ILs. The onset decomposition temperature (T d) decreases by 106.5, 40.7, 19.0 and 7.7 °C in BMIm+, BMPip+, BMPyrr+ and MOc3Am+, respectively. The changes in the properties are explained by the cation and anion interaction with halloysite, as well as by the transformation of the ionic liquid structure. It is found that in this case the amount of the TFSI- anion trans-conformer increases in the following order: BMIm+ > BMPyrr+ ∼ BMPip+ >> MOc3Am+.

Calorimetric and Dielectric Investigations of Epoxy-Based Nanocomposites with Halloysite Nanotubes as Nanofillers. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13101634.

Abstract
Epoxy nanocomposites are promising materials for industrial applications (i.e., aerospace, marine and automotive industry) due to their extraordinary mechanical and thermal properties. Here, the effect of hollow halloysite nanotubes (HNT) on an epoxy matrix (Ep) was the focus of the study. The structure and molecular mobility of the nanocomposites were investigated using a combination of X-ray scattering, calorimetry (differential (DSC) and fast scanning calorimetry (FSC)) and dielectric spectroscopy. Additionally, the effect of surface modification of HNT (polydopamine (PDA) and Fe(OH)3 nanodots) was considered. For Ep/HNT, the glass transition temperature (Tg) was decreased due to a nanoparticle-related decrease of the crosslinking density. For the modified system, Ep/m-HNT, the surface modification resulted in enhanced filler–matrix interactions leading to higher Tg values than the pure epoxy in some cases. For Ep/m-HNT, the amount of interface formed between the nanoparticles and the matrix ranged from 5% to 15%. Through BDS measurements, localized fluctuations were detected as a β- and γ-relaxation, related to rotational fluctuations of phenyl rings and local reorientations of unreacted components. A combination of calorimetry and dielectric spectroscopy revealed a dynamic and structural heterogeneity of the matrix, as confirmed by two glassy dynamics in both systems, related to regions with different crosslinking densities.

Abstract
For many flexible electronic and photonic devices, moisture stability is one of the most important factors that affects its short- and long-term performance. To maintain the performance, the device should be packaged in such a way that it hermetically blocks moisture from the device; however, in practice, it is rather difficult to achieve. The more practical solution is to impede the moisture ingress to the device. In optoelectronic devices that will be outdoors like solar cells, the interfacial adhesion strength between the encapsulant layer (adhesive) and a moisture barrier layer is also a critical parameter. This paper presents surface modifications of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) carrier films, one of the layers in the trilayer barrier film that directly adheres to an encapsulant, using chemical, UV/ozone, and both treatments to improve adhesion with the thermoset encapsulant polymer material. Whereas previous studies also utilized treatment methods to increase the wettability characteristics, in this paper, we not only present the results of the adhesion strength upon various techniques to achieve good adhesion but also screen their behavior upon exposure to a damp-heat (60 °C, 90% RH) environment. We found that the combined treatment method increases the adhesion by up to 12.1-fold and demonstrates up to a 200% increase in adhesion strength even upon our severe damp-heat environmental condition.

Abstract
The assembly of one-dimensional nanomaterials into macroscopic fibers can improve mechanical as well as multifunctional performance. Double-walled aluminogermanate imogolite nanotubes are geo-inspired analogues of carbon nanotubes, synthesized at low temperature, with complementary properties. Here, continuous imogolite-based fibers are wet-spun within a poly(vinyl alcohol) matrix. The lyotropic liquid crystallinity of the system produces highly aligned fibers with tensile stiffness and strength up to 24.1 GPa (14.1 N tex-1) and 0.8 GPa (0.46 N tex-1), respectively. Significant enhancements over the pure polymer control are quantitatively attributed to both matrix refinement and direct nanoscale reinforcement, by fitting an analytical model. Most intriguingly, imogolite-based fibers show a high degree of healability via evaporation-induced self-assembly, recovering up to 44% and 19% of the original fiber tensile stiffness and strength, respectively. This recovery at high absolute strength highlights a general strategy for the development of high-performance healable fibers relevant to composite structures and other applications.

Abstract
In this article, halloysite nanoclay (Hal) was used as porogen for the synthesis of nitrogen doped porous carbon material with high specific surface area and pore volume. To this purpose, polymerization of melamine and terephthalaldehyde (MT) was performed in the presence of amine-functionalized carbon coated Hal (Hal@Glu-2N) that was prepared from hydrothermal treatment of Hal and glucose. Then, the prepared nanocomposite was palladated and carbonized to afford Pd@Hal@C. To further improve the textural properties of the nanocomposite, and introduce more pores in its structure, Hal nanotubes were etched. The characterization of the resulting compound, Pd@C, and comparing it with Pd@Hal@C, showed that etching of Hal significantly increased the specific surface area and pore volume in Pd@C. Pd@C was successfully used as a heterogeneous catalyst for promoting hydrogenation of nitroarens in aqueous media using hydrogen with atmospheric pressure as a reducing agent. The comparison of the structural features and catalytic activity of the catalyst with some control catalysts, including, Pd@Hal, Pd@Hal@Glu, Pd@Hal@Glu-MT and Pd@Hal@C confirmed that nitrogen groups in C could improve the Pd anchoring and suppress its leaching, while etching of Hal and introduction of more pores could enhance the catalytic activity through facilitating the mass transfer.

Abstract
A novel nitrile-/cyano-free ionic liquid was synthesized and carbonized under two different carbonization methods in the presence of ZnCl2 as a catalyst to afford N-doped carbon materials. It was found that the carbonization condition could affect the nature and textural properties of the resulting carbon. In the following, ionic liquid-derived carbon was hybridized with naturally occurring halloysite nanotubes via two procedures, that is, hydrothermal treatment of halloysite and as-prepared carbon and carbonization of ionic liquid in the presence of halloysite. The two novel nanocomposites were then used for stabilizing Pd nanoparticles. Examining the structures and catalytic activities of the resulting catalysts for the hydrogenation of nitroarenes in aqueous media showed that the carbonization procedure and hybridization method could affect the structure and the catalytic activity of the catalysts and hydrothermal approach, in which the structure of halloysite is preserved, leading to the catalyst with superior catalytic activity.

Abstract
The porous shell structure of liquid marbles allows liquid vapor to enter in/out of the liquid marbles, leading to the deformation/collapse of liquid marbles, which limits their application as miniature reactors for long-term chemical reactions. In this study, to prevent volatilization and maintain long-term stability, stable liquid marbles were fabricated by encapsulating glycerol/water droplets using superhydrophobic cellulose nanocrystals. The influence of water evaporation and absorption on the stability of aqueous glycerol marbles at different relative humidities (RHs) was investigated. At the same RH, the evaporation/absorption rates of the liquid marbles decreased on increasing the glycerol concentration. For the liquid marbles with the same glycerol volume concentration, the evaporation rates decreased with the increase in RH. The liquid marbles exhibited higher evaporation/absorption resistance compared with pure naked liquid droplets.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers (NF) with sizes or features on a nanoscale are a class of flower-shaped nanomaterials self-assembled from metal ions and organic components. Here, to be more specific, the organic components mainly refer to biomolecules ranging from proteins, peptides, and amino acids to DNA/RNA. Beyond their pleasing aesthetics, their unique properties and integrated functions have attracted widespread interest and made them promising candidates in the application of biomedical areas. Great efforts have been made to design and synthesize versatile functional hybrid nanoflowers. In this review, we begin with the clarification of versatile recently reported hybrid nanoflowers according to the types of metal ions and biomolecules employed. To highlight the design of organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers, their synthetic methods and mechanisms, structural and biological characteristics are discussed. After that, the state-of-the-art applications of hybrid nanoflowers in biomedical fields including biosensing, biocatalysis, and cancer therapy are demonstrated. In the end, we discuss the prospects of organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers and highlight the challenges and opportunities for future research.

Abstract
Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), naturally occurring and environmental benign clay nanoparticles, have been successfully functionalized with amphiphilic polypeptoid polymers by surface-initiated polymerization methods and investigated as emulsion stabilizers toward oil spill remediation. The hydrophilicity and lipophilicity balance (HLB) of the grafted polypeptoids was shown to affect the wettability of functionalized HNTs and their performance as stabilizers for oil-in-water emulsions. The functionalized HNTs having relatively high hydrophobic content (HLB = 12.0-15.0) afforded the most stable oil-in-water emulsions containing the smallest oil droplet sizes. This has been attributed to the augmented interfacial activities of polypeptoid-functionalized HNTs, resulting in more effective reduction of interfacial tension, enhancement of thermodynamic propensity of the HNT particles to partition at the oil-water interface, and increased emulsion viscosity relative to the pristine HNTs. Cell culture studies have revealed that polypeptoid-functionalized HNTs are noncytotoxic toward Alcanivorax borkumensis, a dominant alkane degrading bacterium found in the ocean after oil spill. Notably, the functionalized HNTs with higher hydrophobic polypeptoid content (HLB = 12.0-14.3) were shown to induce more cell proliferation than either pristine HNTs or those functionalized with less hydrophobic polypeptoids. It was postulated that the functionalized HNTs with higher hydrophobic polypeptoid content may promote the bacterial proliferation by providing larger oil-water interfacial area and better anchoring of bacteria at the interface.
