Abstract
The continuous exploration of new analogs of calixarenes and pillararenes unlocks infinite opportunities in supramolecular chemistry and materials. In this work, we introduce a new class of macrocycle, phenyl-extended resorcin[4]arenes (ExR4), a unique and innovative design that incorporates unsubstituted phenylene moieties into the resorcin[4]arene scaffold. Single-crystal analysis reveals a chair-like conformation for per-methylated ExR4 (Me-ExR4) and a twisted "Figure-of-eight" shaped conformation for per-hydroxylated ExR4 (OH-ExR4). Notably, OH-ExR4 demonstrates exceptional adsorption capability toward I3 - ions in an aqueous solution, with a rapid kinetic rate of 1.18×10-2 g ⋅ mg-1 ⋅ min-1. Furthermore, OH-ExR4 shows excellent recyclability and potential as a stationary phase in column setups. The discovery of ExR4 opens up new avenues for constructing new macrocycles and inspires further research in functional adsorption materials for water pollutant removal.

Abstract
Graphene aerogels hold huge promise for the development of high-performance pressure sensors for future human-machine interfaces due to their ordered microstructure and conductive network. However, their application is hindered by the limited strain sensing range caused by the intrinsic stiffness of the porous microstructure. Herein, an anisotropic cross-linked chitosan and reduced graphene oxide (CCS-rGO) aerogel metamaterial is realized by reconfiguring the microstructure from a honeycomb to a buckling structure at the dedicated cross-section plane. The reconfigured CCS-rGO aerogel shows directional hyperelasticity with extraordinary durability (no obvious structural damage after 20 000 cycles at a directional compressive strain of ≤0.7). The CCS-rGO aerogel pressure sensor exhibits an ultrahigh sensitivity of 121.45 kPa-1, an unprecedented sensing range, and robust mechanical and electrical performance. The aerogel sensors are demonstrated to monitor human motions, control robotic hands, and even integrate into a flexible keyboard to play music, which opens a wide application potential in future human-machine interfaces.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS) aerogels are highly porous (∼99 %), exhibit ultralow density, and are excellent sorbents for removing ionic pollutants and oils/organic solvents from water. Their abundant hydroxyl and amino groups facilitate the adsorption of ionic pollutants through electrostatic interaction, complexation and chelation mechanisms. Selection of suitable surface wettability is the way to separate oils/organic solvents from water. This review summarizes the most recent developments in improving the adsorption performance, mechanical strength and regeneration of CS aerogels. The structure of the paper follows the extraction of chitosan, preparation and sorption characteristics of CS aerogels for heavy metal ions, organic dyes, and oils/organic solvents, sequentially. A detailed analysis of the parameters that influence the adsorption/absorption performance of CS aerogels is carried out and their effective control for improving the performance is suggested. The analysis of research outcomes of the recently published data came up with some interesting facts that the unidirectional pore structure and characteristics of the functional group of the aerogel and pH of the adsorbate have led to the enhanced adsorption performance of the CS aerogel. Finally, the excerpts of the literature survey highlighting the difficulties and potential of CS aerogels for water remediation are proposed.

Abstract
Global population growth and industrialization have exacerbated the nonrenewable energy crises and environmental issues, thereby stimulating an enormous demand for producing environmentally friendly materials. Typically, biomass-based aerogels (BAs), which are mainly composed of biomass materials, show great application prospects in various fields because of their exceptional properties such as biocompatibility, degradability, and renewability. To improve the performance of BAs to meet the usage requirements of different scenarios, a large number of innovative works in the past few decades have emphasized the importance of micro-structural design in regulating macroscopic functions. Inspired by the ubiquitous random or regularly arranged structures of materials in nature ranging from micro to meso and macro scales, constructing different microstructures often corresponds to completely different functions even with similar biomolecular compositions. This review focuses on the preparation process, design concepts, regulation methods, and the synergistic combination of chemical compositions and microstructures of BAs with different porous structures from the perspective of gel skeleton and pore structure. It not only comprehensively introduces the effect of various microstructures on the physical properties of BAs, but also analyzes their potential applications in the corresponding fields of thermal management, water treatment, atmospheric water harvesting, CO2 absorption, energy storage and conversion, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, biological applications, etc. Finally, we provide our perspectives regarding the challenges and future opportunities of BAs. Overall, our goal is to provide researchers with a thorough understanding of the relationship between the microstructures and properties of BAs, supported by a comprehensive analysis of the available data.

Abstract
Among biopolymer-based adsorbents, composites in the form of beads have shown promising results in terms of high adsorption capacity and ease of separation from the effluents. This review addresses the potential of biopolymer-based beads to remediate wastewaters polluted with emerging organic contaminants, for instance dyes, active pharmaceutical ingredients, pesticides, phenols, oils, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and polychlorinated biphenyls. High adsorption capacities up to 2541.76 mg g-1 for dyes, 392 mg g-1 for pesticides and phenols, 1890.3 mg g-1 for pharmaceuticals, and 537 g g-1 for oils and organic solvents have been reported. The review also attempted to convey to its readers the significance of wastewater treatment through adsorption by providing an overview on decontamination technologies of organic water contaminants. Various preparation methods of biopolymer-based gel beads and adsorption mechanisms involved in the process of decontamination have been summarized and analyzed. Therefore, we believe there is an urge to discuss the current state of the application of biopolymer-based gel beads for the adsorption of organic pollutants from wastewater and future perspectives in this regard since it is imperative to treat wastewater before releasing into freshwater bodies.

Abstract
To avoid the difficulty of separating solids from liquids when reusing powder photocatalysts, 3D stereoscopic photocatalysts were constructed. In this study, three-dimensional S defect-rich MoS2 hierarchical aerogel was prepared by chemical cross-linking of functional ultrathin 2D MoS2. Its phase, micro-morphology and structure were characterized, and it was used in the study of photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. Of the samples tested, MS@CA-3 (i.e., defect-rich 3D MoS2 aerogel with a loading of 30 mg of defect-rich MoS2) exhibited the best photocatalytic activity due to its suitable load, good light transmission, and a degradation rate of up to 91.0% after 3 h. In addition, MS@CA-3 aerogel offers high recyclability and structural stability, and the degradation rate of the organic pollutant methylene blue decreases only 9.8% after more than ten cycles of photocatalytic degradation. It combines the high catalytic performance of S defect-rich 2D MoS2 and the convenient reusability of hierarchical porous aerogel. This study provides valuable data and a reference for the practical promotion and application of photocatalytic technology in the field of environmental remediation.

Abstract
Stemming from the unique in-plane honeycomb lattice structure and the sp2 hybridized carbon atoms bonded by exceptionally strong carbon-carbon bonds, graphene exhibits remarkable anisotropic electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. To maximize the utilization of graphene's in-plane properties, pre-constructed and aligned structures, such as oriented aerogels, films, and fibers, have been designed. The unique combination of aligned structure, high surface area, excellent electrical conductivity, mechanical stability, thermal conductivity, and porous nature of highly aligned graphene aerogels allows for tailored and enhanced performance in specific directions, enabling advancements in diverse fields. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in highly aligned graphene aerogels and their composites. It highlights the fabrication methods of aligned graphene aerogels and the optimization of alignment which can be estimated both qualitatively and quantitatively. The oriented scaffolds endow graphene aerogels and their composites with anisotropic properties, showing enhanced electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties along the alignment at the sacrifice of the perpendicular direction. This review showcases remarkable properties and applications of aligned graphene aerogels and their composites, such as their suitability for electronics, environmental applications, thermal management, and energy storage. Challenges and potential opportunities are proposed to offer new insights into prospects of this material.

Abstract
Herein, a natural material including chitosan (CTS) and algae (food-grade algae, FGA) was exploited to attain a bio-adsorbent (CTS/FGA) for enhanced methyl violet 2B dye removal. A study of the FGA loading into CTS matrix showed that the best mixing ratio between CTS and FGA to be used for the MV 2B removal was 50 %:50 % (CTS/FGA; 50:50 w/w). The present study employed the Box-Behnken design (RSM-BBD) to investigate the impact of three processing factors, namely CTS/FGA-(50:50) dose (0.02-0.1 g/100 mL), pH of solution (4-10), and contact time (5-15 min) on the decolorization rate of MV 2B dye. The results obtained from the equilibrium and kinetic experiments indicate that the adsorption of MV 2B dye on CTS/FGA-(50:50) follows the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models, respectively. The CTS/FGA exhibits an adsorption capacity of 179.8 mg/g. The characterization of CTS/FGA-(50:50) involves the proposed mechanism of MV 2B adsorption, which primarily encompasses various interactions such as electrostatic forces, n-π stacking, and H-bonding. The present study demonstrates that CTS/FGA-(50:50) synthesized material exhibits a distinctive structure and excellent adsorption properties, thereby providing a viable option for the elimination of toxic cationic dyes from polluted water.

Abstract
A composite of chitosan biopolymer with microalgae and commercial carbon-doped titanium dioxide (kronos) was modified by grafting an aromatic aldehyde (salicylaldehyde) in a hydrothermal process for the removal of brilliant green (BG) dye. The resulting Schiff's base Chitosan-Microalgae-TiO2 kronos/Salicylaldehyde (CsMaTk/S) material was characterised using various analytical methods (conclusive of physical properties using BET surface analysis method, elemental analysis, FTIR, SEM-EDX, XRD, XPS and point of zero charge). Box Behnken Design was utilised for the optimisation of the three input variables, i.e., adsorbent dose, pH of the media and contact time. The optimum conditions appointed by the optimisation process were further affirmed by the desirability test and employed in the equilibrium studies in batch mode and the results exhibited a better fit towards the pseudo-second-order kinetic model as well as Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 957.0 mg/g. Furthermore, the reusability study displayed the adsorptive performance of CsMaTk/S remains effective throughout five adsorption cycles. The possible interactions between the dye molecules and the surface of the adsorbent were derived based on the analyses performed and the electrostatic attractions, H-bonding, Yoshida-H bonding, π-π and n-π interactions are concluded to be the responsible forces in this adsorption process.

Abstract
The study investigated removal of hexavalent chromium Cr (VI) from aqueous solution using graphene oxide‑iron oxide reinforced pectin/polyvinyl alcohol magnetic gel beads prepared through co-precipitation and freeze-drying technique. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometer, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, and zeta potential are used for characterization. The surface area of magnetic gel beads calculated by BET method was determined to be 100.95 m2/g, significantly higher than that of GO and GO-Fe3O4. The optimum removal efficiency of GO-Fe3O4/Pec/PVA was assessed by batch method at variables such as pH(1-6), adsorption time(0-180 min), and temperature(25-35 °C). Accordingly, 0.2 g GO-Fe3O4/Pec/PVA dose, pH 2, contact time: 120 min at 25 °C were found to be the optimal conditions, and maximum adsorption capacity of GO, GO-Fe3O4 and GO-Fe3O4/Pec/PVA toward Cr(VI) removal was found to be 39.5, 62.5 and 78.55 mg g-1, respectively. Kinetic and isotherm studies indicate adsorption data follow pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models. Thermodynamic studies showed adsorption capacities of adsorbents decreased when temperature increased which indicated adsorption for Cr (VI) was an exothermic process. The activation energies were found to be 34.92, 26.57, and 35.23 KJ mol-1 for GO, GO-Fe3O4, and GO-Fe3O4/Pec/PVA, respectively, which illustrated adsorption of Cr(VI) onto the surface of adsorbents was a physical process. The beads exhibit excellent recoverability and reusability over five cycles. Overall, GO-Fe3O4/Pec/PVA demonstrates exceptional adsorption properties and can serve as an efficient, stable, less toxic, and magnetically separable adsorbent for removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution.

High-efficient removal of anionic dye from aqueous solution using metal-organic frameworks@chitosan aerogel rich in benzene structure. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 256:128433.

Abstract
With the exponentially increase of dye pollutants, the purification of dye wastewater has been an urgent ecological problem. As a novel type of porous adsorbent, metal-organic frameworks still face challenges in recyclability, agglomeration, and environmentally unfriendly synthesis. Herein, MOF-525 was in-situ growth onto the surface of the chitosan (CS) beads to fabricate MOF-525@CS aerogel. CS was utilized as substrate to uniformly disperse MOF-525, thereby significantly mitigating agglomeration and improving recyclability of MOF-525. The characterization results shown that MOF-525@CS aerogel had a high specific surface area of 103.0 m2·g-1, and MOF-525 was uniformly distributed in the 3D porous structure of CS, and the presence of benzoic acid was detected. The MOF-525@CS aerogel had a remarkable adsorption capacity of 1947 mg·g-1 for Congo red, which is greater than the sum of its parts. MOF-525@CS aerogel also inherited the rapid adsorption ability of MOF-525, removing 80 % of Congo red within 600 min. Such excellent adsorption performance can be attributed to the benzoic acid trapped by CS via CN band to enhance the π-π stacking interactions. Additionally, the utilization of benzoic acid makes the synthesis process of MOF-525@CS aerogel more environmentally friendly. The high-efficient MOF-525@CS aerogel is a competitive candidate for dye pollution adsorption.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution in water bodies is a global concern. The prominent source of metal contamination in aqueous streams and groundwater is wastewater containing heavy metal ions. Elevated concentrations of heavy metals in water bodies can have a negative impact on water quality and public health. The most effective way to remove metal contaminants from drinking water is thought to be adsorption. A deacetylated derivative of chitin, chitosan, has a wide range of commercial uses since it is biocompatible, nontoxic, and biodegradable. Due to its exceptional adsorption behavior toward numerous hazardous heavy metals from aqueous solutions, chitosan and its modifications have drawn a lot of interest in recent years. Due to its remarkable adsorption behavior toward a range of dangerous heavy metals, chitosan is a possible agent for eliminating metals from aqueous solutions. The review has focused on the ideas of biosorption, its kinds, architectures, and characteristics, as well as using modified (physically and chemically modified) chitosan, blends, and composites to remove heavy metals from water. The main objective of the review is to describe the most important aspects of chitosan-based adsorbents that might be beneficial for enhancing the adsorption capabilities of modified chitosan and promoting the usage of this material in the removal of heavy metal pollutants.

Abstract
Green synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has attracted a lot of attention as a crucial step for practical industrial applications. In this work, green synthesis of zinc(II) metal-organic framework (Zn-MOF) has been carried out at room temperature. The Zn metal (node) was extracted from spent domestic batteries, and the linker was benzene di-carboxylic acid (BDC). The characterization of the as-prepared Zn-MOF was accomplished by PXRD, FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, TGA, and nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. All the characterization techniques strongly supported that as-synthesized Zn-MOF using metallic solid waste Zn is similar to that was reported in the literature. The as-prepared Zn-MOF was stable in water for 24 h without any changes in its functional groups and framework. The prepared Zn-MOF was tested for the adsorption of three dyes, two anionic dyes, aniline blue (AB), and orange II (O(II)) as well as methylene blue (MB), an example of cationic dye from aqueous solution. AB has the highest equilibrium adsorbed amount, qe, of value 55.34 mg g-1 at pH = 7 and 25 °C within 40 min. Investigation of the adsorption kinetics indicated that these adsorption processes could be described as a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Furthermore, the adsorption process of the three dyes was described well by the Freundlich isotherm model. According to the thermodynamic parameters, the adsorption of AB on the prepared Zn-MOF was an endothermic and spontaneous process. In contrast, it was non-spontaneous and exothermic for the uptake of O(II) and MB. This study complements the business case development model of "solid waste to value-added MOFs."

Abstract
Emerging pollutants and a large volume of unused dyes from the textile industry have been contaminating water bodies. This work introduces a scalable approach to purifying water by the adsorption of Acid green 25 (AG), Crystal Violet (CV), and Sulfamethoxazole (SMA) from an aqueous solution by graphene oxide (GO) doped modified silica aerogel (GO-SA) with supercritical fluid deposition (SFD) method. Characterization of GO-SA using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) adsorption isotherms revealed the improvement in the adsorbent surface area, and its textural properties. The high removal percentages observed in most of the experimental runs provide evidence of the excellent performance of the adsorbent towards the anionic and cationic dyes along with the antibiotic. The adsorption isotherm and kinetics showed that the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models could explain adsorption. The adsorbent holds a higher adsorption capacity for SMA (67.07 mg g-1) than for CV (41.46 mg g-1) and AG (20.56 mg g-1) due to the higher hydrophobicity that interacts with the hydrophobic adsorbent. The GO-SA successfully removed AG, CV, and SMA with removal percentages of 98.23%, 98.71%, and 94.46%, respectively. The parameters were optimized using Central Composite Design (RSM-CCD). The prepared aerogel showed excellent reusability with a removal efficiency of > 85% even after 5 cycles. This study shows the potential of GO-SA adsorbent in textile and other wastewater purification.

Abstract
Aligned pore structures present many advantages when conceiving biomaterial strategies for treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Aligned ice templating (AIT) is one of the many different techniques capable of producing anisotropic porous scaffolds; its high versatility allows for the formation of structures with tunable pore sizes, as well as the use of many different materials. AIT has been found to yield improved compressive properties for bone tissue engineering (BTE), as well as higher tensile strength and optimized cellular alignment and proliferation in tendon and muscle repair applications. This review evaluates the work that has been done in the last decade toward the production of aligned pore structures by AIT with an outlook on the musculoskeletal system. This work describes the fundamentals of the AIT technique and focuses on the research carried out to optimize the biomechanical properties of scaffolds by modifying the pore structure, categorizing by material type and application. Related topics including growth factor incorporation into AIT scaffolds, drug delivery applications, and studies about immune system response will be discussed.

Abstract
Polysaccharides have emerged as a promising material for hydrogel preparation due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low cost. This review focuses on polysaccharide-based hydrogels' synthesis, characterization, and applications. The various synthetic methods used to prepare polysaccharide-based hydrogels are discussed. The characterization techniques are also highlighted to evaluate the physical and chemical properties of polysaccharide-based hydrogels. Finally, the applications of SAPs in various fields are discussed, along with their potential benefits and limitations. Due to environmental concerns, this review shows a growing interest in developing bio-sourced hydrogels made from natural materials such as polysaccharides. SAPs have many beneficial properties, including good mechanical and morphological properties, thermal stability, biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, abundance, economic viability, and good swelling ability. However, some challenges remain to be overcome, such as limiting the formulation complexity of some SAPs and establishing a general protocol for calculating their water absorption and retention capacity. Furthermore, the development of SAPs requires a multidisciplinary approach and research should focus on improving their synthesis, modification, and characterization as well as exploring their potential applications. Biocompatibility, biodegradation, and the regulatory approval pathway of SAPs should be carefully evaluated to ensure their safety and efficacy.

Abstract
Functional textiles with high-performance directional water transport for regulating human sweat are in high demand because of growing concerns about the role of comfort in the performance of wearer. However, the fabrication of such materials remains a critical job. Here, we report a facile strategy to develop hydrophilic oriented polyacrylonitrile (HOPAN)/hydrophilic polylactic acid @polyvinylidene fluoride (HPLA@PVDF) composite membrane with surface energy gradient for enhanced directional water transport. Three step fabrication strategy involves electrospinning of oriented polyacrylonitrile (OPAN fibers) on polylactic acid (PLA) nonwoven surface followed by dip-coating in hydrophilic agent, and single-side electrospray of PVDF dilute solution on HOPAN/HPLA. Combination of highly oriented fiber structure, differential pore size and asymmetric wettability between two layers enabled instant water transport. The resultant fabricated composite membranes offer superior properties with one-way transport capacity (R) of 1117%, overall moisture management capacity (OMMC) of 0.91, and excellent water vapor transmission rate of 11.6 kg m-2 d-1. The successful preparation of these fascinating directional water transport materials offers new insight into the role of fiber alignment along with differential apertures and asymmetric chemical structure for realizing membranes for quick-drying applications.

[PMID: 37110521 PMCID: PMC10144585 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28083288] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
With the rapid development of nanotechnology, electrospun nanofiber membranes (ENM) application and preparation methods have attracted attention. With many advantages such as high specific surface area, obvious interconnected structure, and high porosity, ENM has been widely used in many fields, especially in water treatment, with more advantages. ENM solves the shortcomings of traditional means, such as low efficiency, high energy consumption, and difficulty in recycling, and it is suitable for recycling and treatment of industrial wastewater. This review begins with a description of electrospinning technology, describing the structure, preparation methods, and factors of common ENMs. At the same time, the removal of heavy metal ions and dyes by ENMs is introduced. The mechanism of ENM adsorption on heavy metal ions and dyes is chelation or electrostatic attraction, which has excellent adsorption and filtration ability for heavy metal ions and dyes, and the adsorption capacity of ENMs for heavy metal ions and dyes can be improved by increasing the metal chelation sites. Therefore, this technology and mechanism can be exploited to develop new, better, and more effective separation methods for the removal of harmful pollutants to cope with the gradually increasing water scarcity and pollution. Finally, it is hoped that this review will provide some guidance and direction for research on wastewater treatment and industrial production.

[PMID: 36972821 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124184] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2022] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023]
Abstract
Graphene oxide chitosan composite (GOCS) is recognized as an environmentally friendly composite adsorbent because of its stability and abundant functional groups to adsorb heavy metals, and Fe-Mn binary oxides (FMBO) have attracted increasing interest due to their high removal capacity of As(III). However, GOCS is often inefficient for heavy metal adsorption and FMBO suffers poor regeneration for As(III) removal. In this study, we have proposed a method of dopping FMBO into GOCS to obtain a recyclable granular adsorbent (Fe/MnGOCS) for achieving As(III) removal from aqueous solutions. Characterization of BET, SEM-EDS, XRD, FTIR, and XPS are carried out to confirm the formation of Fe/MnGOCS and As(III) removal mechanism. Batch experiments are conducted to investigate the effects of operational factors (pH, dosage, coexisting ions, etc.), as well as kinetic, isothermal, and thermodynamic processes. Results show that the removal efficiency (Re) of As(III) by Fe/MnGOCS is about 96 %, which is much higher than those of FeGOCS (66 %), MnGOCS (42 %), and GOCS (8 %), and it increases slightly with the increasing molar ratio of Mn and Fe. This is because amorphous Fe (hydro)oxides (mainly in the form of ferrihydrite) complexation with As(III) is the major mechanism to remove As(III) from aqueous solutions, and it is accompanied by As(III) oxidation mediated by Mn oxides and the complexation of As(III) with oxygen-containing functional groups of GOCS. Charge interaction plays a weaker role in As(III) adsorption, therefore Re is persistently high over a wide range of pH values of 3-10. But the coexisting PO43- can greatly decrease Re by 24.11 %. As(III) adsorption on Fe/MnGOCS is endothermic and its kinetic process is controlled by pseudo-second-order with a determination coefficient of 0.95. Fitted by the Langmuir isotherm, the maximum adsorption capacity is 108.89 mg/g at 25 °C. After four times regeneration, there is only a slight decrease of <10 % for the Re value. Column adsorption experiments show that Fe/MnGOCS can effectively reduce As(III) concentration from 10 mg/L to <10 μg/L. This study provides new insights into binary polymer composite modified by binary metal oxides to efficiently remove heavy metals from aquatic environments.

Hydrophobization of aerogels based on chitosan, nanocellulose and tannic acid: Improvements on the aerogel features and the adsorption of contaminants in water. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 220:115197.

Abstract
Hydrophobic chitosan aerogels are promising adsorbents for immiscible contaminants such as oils and organic solvents. However, few studies have reported the application of hydrophobic aerogels as adsorbent for organic contaminants dissolved in water. Herein, novel highly hydrophobic chitosan (CS) beads containing cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and hydrophobized tannic acid (HTA) composite were prepared with different CS and CNC-HTA content to achieve an optimized adsorbent to remove emerging contaminants from water in batch and fixed-bed assays. The CS@CNC-HTA beads properties were assessed by FTIR, XRD, SEM, XPS, Micro-CT, WCA, and zeta potential. Supramolecular interactions and physical interlacements between CS and CNC-HTA enabled the formation of CS@CNC-HTA beads with high porosity (98.6%), great volume of open pore space (10.16 mm3) and hydrophobicity (121.8°). The 1:1 CS@CNC-HTA beads showed the best performance for removing the pharmaceutical sildenafil citrate, the basic blue 26 dye, and the surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride, reaching adsorption capacities of 86 (73%), 375 (84%), and 390 (90%) mg.g-1, respectively. The 1:1 CS@CNC-HTA beads efficiently removed sildenafil citrate, basic blue 26 and cetylpyridinium chloride in fixed-bed experiments with exhaustion times of 890, 300, and 470 min, respectively. Theoretical calculations and adsorption assays indicate that the main attractive interactions are pyridinium-π, π-π, electrostatic and hydrophobic.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1183333. [PMID: 37064228 PMCID: PMC10098122 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1183333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 04/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Chitosan is a biopolymer material extracted from marine biomass waste such as shrimp and crab shells, which has good biocompatibility and degradability with great potential for application in the field of wastewater treatment and soil remediation. The higher the degree of deacetylation (DD), the better the adsorption performance of chitosan. Chitin deacetylase (CDA) can specifically catalyze the deacetylate of chitin in a green reaction that is environmentally friendly. However, the scarcity of high yielding chitin deacetylase strains has been regarded as the technical bottleneck of chitosan green production. Here, we screened a natural chitin degrading bacterium from coastal mud and identified it as Bacillus cereus ZWT-08 by re-screening the chitin deacetylase activity and degree of deacetylation values. By optimizing the medium conditions and enzyme production process, ZWT-08 was cultured in fermentation medium with 1% (m/V) glucose and yeast extract at pH 6.0, 37°C, and a stirring speed of 180 r/min. After fermenting in 5 L fermenter for 48 h, the deacetylation activity of the supernatant reached 613.25 U/mL. Electron microscopic examination of the chitin substrate in the fermentation medium revealed a marshmallow-like fluffy texture on its structural surface. Meanwhile, 89.29% of the acetyl groups in this chitin substrate were removed by enzymatic digestion of chitin deacetylase produced by ZWT-08, resulting in the preparation of chitosan a degree of deacetylation higher than 90%. As an effective strain for chitosan production, Bacillus cereus ZWT-08 plays a positive role in the bioconversion of chitin and the upgrading of the chitosan industry.

Abstract
This study shows the effectiveness of magnetic-guide targeting in the delivery of curcumin diethyl γ-aminobutyrate (CUR-2GE), a prodrug of curcumin (CUR) previously synthesized to overcome unfavorable physicochemical properties of CUR. In this study, chitosan (Ch)-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (Ch-IONPs) were fabricated and optimized using Box-Behnken design-based response surface methodology for delivery of CUR-2GE. Ch was used as a coating material on the nanoparticle surface to avoid aggregation. The optimized condition for preparing Ch-IONPs consisted of using 4 mg Ch fabricated at pH 11 under a reaction temperature of 85 °C. The optimized Ch-IONPs were successfully loaded with CUR-2GE with sufficient loading capacity (1.72 ± 0.01%) and encapsulation efficiency (94.9 ± 0.8%). The obtained CUR-2GE-loaded Ch-IONPs (CUR-2GE-Ch-IONPs) exhibited desirable characteristics including a particle size of less than 50 nm based on TEM images, superparamagnetic property, highly crystalline IONP core, sufficient stability, and sustained-release profile. In the presence of permanent magnets, CUR-2GE-Ch-IONPs significantly increased cellular uptake and cytotoxicity toward MDA-MB-231 with a 12-fold increase in potency compared to free CUR-2GE, indicating the potential of magnetic-field assisted delivery of CUR-2GE-Ch-IONPs for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Graphene-based microparticles materials are broadly utilized in all sorts of fields owing to their outstanding properties. Despite great progress, the present graphene microparticles still face challenges in the aspects of size uniformity, motion flexibility, and tailorable surface chemistry, which limit their application in some specific fields, such as versatile adsorption. Hence, the development of novel graphene microparticles with the aforementioned characteristics is urgently required. EXPERIMENTS We presented a simple microfluidic electrospray strategy to generate magnetic Janus reduced graphene oxide/carbon (rGO/C) composite microspheres with a variety of unique features. Specifically, the microfluidic electrospray method endowed the obtaiend microspheres with sufficient size uniformity as well as magnetic responsive motion ability. Additionally, magnetic-mediated surface assembly of phase transition lysozyme (PTL) nanofilm on the microspheres rendered the deposited area hydrophilic while non-deposited area hydrophobic. FINDINGS Such magnetic Janus rGO/C composite microspheres with regionalized wettability characteristics not only showed prominent performance in adsorbing organic liquids with high adsorption capacity and remarkable reusability but also displayed satisfying biocompatibility for the efficient uptake of bilirubin. More encouragingly, the microspheres could serve as adsorbents in a simulative hemoperfusion setup, which further demonstrated the clinical application potential of the magnetic Janus rGO/C microspheres. Thus, we anticipate that the obtained magnetic Janus rGO/C composite microspheres could show multifunctional properties toward water treatment and blood molecule cleaning.

Abstract
Excessive phosphorus (P) in water is the main reason for eutrophication, which has been a global problem for many years. For the adsorption treatment of phosphorus-containing wastewater, adsorbents are key research topics. In this study, we develop the synthesis of a series of Ce/Fe adsorbents by modifying the commercial cerium carbonate with Fe2(SO4)3. By conducting comprehensive analysis with XRD, FTIR, and SEM, we find that the amorphous granular structure and large chunky structure created by the high and low Fe content, respectively, both had a negative effect on the adsorption capacity of phosphate. Among different adsorbents, Ce/Fe-15/3, with Ce loading of 28.33 wt % and Fe loading of 5.66 wt %, exhibits high P adsorption capacity of 58 mg P/g (in pH = 7, 30 mg P/L solution). It also demonstrates excellent selectivity toward phosphate adsorption in Cl-, SO4 2-, and NO3 - solution (up to 20 times of the phosphate molarity) and good adsorption stability in acidic environments (pH = 3-6). The adsorption behavior of Ce/Fe-15/3 can be modeled well by the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order (PSO) model. By conducting the XPS analysis, we conclude that the adsorption mechanism is a combination effect of Ce/PO4 3- and Fe/PO4 3- chemical interactions.

James A, Yadav D. Bioaerogels, the emerging technology for wastewater treatment: A comprehensive review on synthesis, properties and applications. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 212:113222. [PMID: 35398081 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.113222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2021] [Revised: 03/15/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Over the past decade use of aerogels has received much attention as an emerging technology for wastewater treatment. However, production of aerogels is not environment-friendly. Owing to its excellent properties such as porosity, three-dimensional structure, being amenable to chemical modifications, it is imperative to devise strategies for their improved production and use. Bioaerogels are non-toxic and most of their precursor compounds are biomass-derived. This review aims to present a comprehensive report on survey of existing literature published on the use of bioaerogels for removal of all major categories of water contaminants, namely, heavy metals, industrial dyes, oil, organic compounds and pharmaceuticals. It also gives critical analysis of the lacunae in the existing knowledge such as lack of studies on domestic sewage, emerging pollutants, toxicity of raw materials and adequate disposal of used adsorbents. Proposals of overcoming the limitations in the applicability of bioaerogels, like combining constructed wetlands with use of bioaerogels, among others have been discussed. In this review, emphasis has been given on production of bioaerogels, with an aim to underscore the potential of valorization of biomass waste to develop novel materials for wastewater treatment in an effort towards creating a circular and green economy.

Abstract
Fusarium graminearum (F. graminearum), a pathogen for Fusarium head blight (FHB) on wheat, significantly reduces wheat yield and poses potential threats to human food safety. In this study, graphene oxide (GO) modified chitosan (GO-CS composite) was synthesized and its antifungal activity against F. graminearum in vitro and in vivo was evaluated. The 1HNMR and FTIR results revealed the reaction between the carboxyl groups in GO and the amino groups in chitosan (CS). In vitro, the combination of GO and CS resulted in a significant synergistic inhibitory effect on the mycelial growth of F. graminearum relative to single GO or CS. The EC50 value of the GO-CS composite was 14.07 μg/mL, which was much lower than that of GO or CS alone. In vivo, the GO-CS composite significantly reduced the disease incidence and severity compared with single GO or CS, and the control efficacy could reach 60.01 %. Microbial cells might be ultimately damaged when interacting with GO-CS due to various mechanisms such as biological effects and physical barriers. Overall, the combination of GO and CS provides new opportunities for their application in the control of fungi.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are of great potential as adsorbents owing to their tailorable functionalities, low density and high porosity. However, their intrinsically stacked two‐dimensional (2D) structure limits the full use of their complete surface for sorption, especially the internal pores. The construction of ultrathin COFs could increase the exposure of active sites to the targeted molecules in a pollutant environment. Herein, an ultrathin COF with a uniform thickness of ca. 2 nm is prepared employing graphene as the surface template. The resulting hybrid aerogel with an ultralow density (7.1 mg cm−3) exhibits the ability to remove organic dye molecules of different sizes with high efficiency. The three‐dimensional (3D) macroporous structure and well‐exposed adsorption sites permit rapid diffusion of solution and efficient adsorption of organic pollutants, thereby, greatly contributing to its enhanced uptake capacity. This work highlights the effect of COF layer thickness on adsorption performance.

Abstract
Development of chitosan-based hemostatic products and their application in wound healing has always been a research hotspot in the field of emergency treatment and biomedicine. In this study, the classic hemostatic chitosan and the most well-known inorganic hemostatic agent-kaolin were tried to combine to form a more excellent dressing. Together with the aid of non-toxic, harmless and good hydrophilic polyethylene oxide, chitosan/polyethylene oxide (PEO)/kaolin nanofiber membranes (CPKs) were prepared by electrospinning technology. Such membranes exhibited adjustable mechanical properties and good biocompatibility. Furthermore, a series of in vitro coagulation experiments proved that CPKs with 10 % ratio of kaolin (CPK10) has excellent hemostatic ability. Especially, in the whole blood coagulation time (WBCT) assay, the hemostatic time of CPK10 (43 ± 1.4 s) was significantly lower than that of chitosan/polyethylene oxide (CPK0) nanofiber membrane (61 ± 2.2 s) and QuikClot® Combat Gauze (55.7 ± 1.2 s). The further rat liver injury test reconfirmed that CPK10 can stop bleeding better and faster compared to other groups. In addition, CPKs could promote back wound healing in rats within 14 days without significant inflammatory response. This safe and effective hemostatic CPKs is expected to be a promising candidate hemostat in pre-hospital medical care.

Abstract
In this study, a series of Zirconium-based MOF and chitosan composites (MOF-808/chitosan) were synthesized as efficient adsorbent for Cr(VI) ions elimination from aqueous solution. MOF-808/chitosan structure and morphology was characterized by FE-SEM, EDX, XRD, BET, zeta potential analysis, FT-IR, XPS techniques. The kinetic studies ascertained that Cr(VI) adsorption over MOF-808/chitosan followed pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption isotherms fitted the Langmuir isotherm model, implying on homogeneously adsorption of Cr(VI) on the surface of MOF-808/chitosan. According to the Langmuir model, the maximum capacity was obtained to be 320.0 mg/g at pH 5. Thermodynamic investigation proposed spontaneous (ΔG° < 0), disordered (ΔS° > 0) and endothermic (ΔH° > 0) for adsorption process. Besides, MOF-808/chitosan displayed an appropriate reusability for the elimination of Cr(VI) ions from their aqueous solutions for six successive cycles. DFT study of the adsorption process displayed and confirmed the role of hydrogen bonding and electrostatic attraction simultaneously.

Abstract
Currently, water pollution is a significant health problem for both humans and animals due to large amounts of dye-containing wastewater. Thus, polymer composite membranes (PCMs) are considered as efficient adsorption/filtration membranes that can be utilized for removing organic dyes from contaminated water/wastewater. In this study, the goal is to explore the modification of the interfacial dialysis cellulose (DC) surface through molecular interactions of an active graphene oxide-chitosan (GO-CTS) composite hydrogel (GCCH) network without the use of an external cross-linker toward an effective dye removal ability using a simple casting process and a low-cost adsorption technique, resulting in the formation of a PCM, i.e., GO/CTS/DC membrane (GCD-mems). Concomitantly, the incorporation of the GCCH network (as an active hybrid network) and DC (as a supporting material) is considered as a promising approach toward a dye-removing PCM. As a result, the GCD-mems showed that cellulose robustly interacted via the chemical bonds of the GCCH network by maintaining the three-dimensional (3D) porous layer structures, and the functional surface of the membrane was enhanced toward specific groups for an effective dye removal approach. In addition, there is a significant improvement in dye removal performance after modification of the interfacial DC surface through molecular interactions of GCCH, i.e., high adsorption capacities of cationic and anionic dye molecules on the GCD-mems, compared to the relevant GO-based adsorbents. Also, the dye flux and rejection of the GCD-mems can simultaneously remove both methylene blue and Congo red. In the adsorption, it is appropriate with the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models corresponding to chemical adsorption and monolayer approaches, as well as physical sieving through the 3D layers of porous channels of GCD-mems during the filtration process. Moreover, the structural stability and sustainability of the PCMs are enhanced during the recycling process, and the use of ethanol in the recycling process further simplifies the process and reduces the cost of the PCMs. Thus, the GCD-mems are encouraged as potential candidates that can be applied directly in the removal of dyes from the wastewater of textile industries or selective dialysis applications.

Abstract
AbstractIn this research, cellulose grafted to chitosan by EDTA (Cs-EDTA-Cell) bio-based material is reported and characterized by a series of various methods and techniques such as FTIR, DRS-UV–Vis, TGA, FESEM, XRD and EDX analysis. In fact, the Cs-EDTA-Cell network is more thermally stable than pristine cellulose or chitosan. There is a plenty of both acidic and basic sites on the surface of this bio-based and biodegradable network, as a multifunctional organocatalyst, to proceed three-component synthesis of 2-amino-4H-pyran derivatives at room temperature in EtOH. The Cs-EDTA-Cell nanocatalyst can be easily recovered from the reaction mixture by using filtration and reused for at least five times without significant decrease in its catalytic activity. In general, the Cs-EDTA-Cell network, as a heterogeneous catalyst, demonstrated excellent catalytic activity in an environmentally-benign solvent to afford desired products in short reaction times and required simple experimental and work-up procedure compared to many protocols using similar catalytic systems.

Abstract
The performance of graphene aerogels (GAs) is based on the microstructure. However, GAs face a challenge of simultaneously controlling the size and alignment of pores strategically. Herein, we initially proposed a simple strategy to construct GAs with an adjustable structure based on the emulsion and ice dual template methods. Specifically, GAs with a honeycomb structure prepared by conventional freezing (CGAs) exhibited a high specific surface of 176 m2/g, superelasticity with a compressive strain of 95%, isotropic compression and thermal insulation performances, as well as an excellent absorption capacity of 150-550 g/g. Instead, the GAs with a bamboo-like network frozen by unidirectional freezing (UGAs) showed anisotropy in compression and thermal insulation behavior. Furthermore, UGAs exhibited incredible special stress (7.9 kPa cm3/mg) along the axial direction twice than that of the radial direction. Meanwhile, the apparent temperature of UGAs was only 45.6 °C when placed on a 120 °C hot stage along the radial direction. Remarkably, the properties of CGAs and UGAs were significantly improved with the adjustment of the microstructure.

Abstract
Nuclear power will continue to provide energy for the foreseeable future, but it can pose significant challenges in terms of the disposal of waste and potential release of untreated radioactive substances. Iodine is a volatile product from uranium fission and is particularly problematic due to its solubility. Different isotopes of iodine present different issues for people and the environment. 129I has an extremely long half-life of 1.57 × 107 years and poses a long-term environmental risk due to bioaccumulation. In contrast, 131I has a shorter half-life of 8.02 days and poses a significant risk to human health. There is, therefore, an urgent need to develop secure, efficient and economic stores to capture and sequester ionic and neutral iodine residues. Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials are a new generation of solid sorbents that have wide potential applicability for gas adsorption and substrate binding, and recently there is emerging research on their use for the selective adsorptive removal of iodine. Herein, we review the state-of-the-art performance of MOFs for iodine adsorption and their host-guest chemistry. Various aspects are discussed, including establishing structure-property relationships between the functionality of the MOF host and iodine binding. The techniques and methodologies used for the characterisation of iodine adsorption and of iodine-loaded MOFs are also discussed together with strategies for designing new MOFs that show improved performance for iodine adsorption.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS) and graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites have received wide attention in biomedical fields due to the synergistic effect between CS which has excellent biological characteristics and GO which owns great physicochemical, mechanical, and optical properties. Nanocomposites based on CS and GO can be fabricated into a variety of forms, such as nanoparticles, hydrogels, scaffolds, films, and nanofibers. Thanks to the ease of functionalization, the performance of these nanocomposites in different forms can be further improved by introducing other functional polymers, nanoparticles, or growth factors. With this background, the current review summarizes the latest developments of CS-GO nanocomposites in different forms and compositions in biomedical applications including drug and biomacromolecules delivery, wound healing, bone tissue engineering, and biosensors. Future improving directions and challenges for clinical practice are proposed as well.

Abstract
The anisotropic nature of ‘graphenic’ nanosheets enables them to form stable three-dimensional porous materials. The use of these porous structures has been explored in several applications including electronics and batteries, environmental remediation, energy storage, sensors, catalysis, tissue engineering, and many more. As method of fabrication greatly influences the final pore architecture, and chemical and mechanical characteristics and performance of these porous materials, it is essential to identify and address the correlation between property and function. In this review, we report detailed analyses of the different methods of fabricating porous graphene-based structures – with a focus on graphene oxide as the base material – and relate these with the resultant morphologies, mechanical responses, and common applications of use. We discuss the feasibility of the synthesis approaches and relate the GO concentrations used in each methodology against their corresponding pore sizes to identify the areas not explored to date. Due to their anisotropic nature, graphene nanosheets can be used to form 3-dimensional porous materials using template-free and template-directed methodologies. These fabrication strategies are found to influence the properties of the final structure.![]()
