Nanocelluloses (NCs)-based aerogels with hierarchical microarchitecture are highly sought after for their extraordinarily thermal insulation and adsorption properties. Nevertheless, their intrinsic flammability, complex manufacturing processes, and inadequate mechanical characteristics substantially restrict their extensive practical applications. Herein, a Pickering emulsion templated sequential reaction strategy is employed to fabricate elastic NCs-based aerogels with hierarchically porous structures. The pivotal aspect of this synthesis resides in the Pickering emulsion phases, facilitating the in-situ construction of a polyvinyltrimethoxysilane (PVTMS) decorated framework. The resultant aerogels feature a low density and exhibit exceptional resilience. The material also displays exceptional anisotropic thermal insulating properties, with a peak value of 11.5 mW·m−1·K−1 along the axial direction and a value ten times greater, reaching 115.2 mW·m−1·K−1, along the radial direction. Such a preparation method for the hybrid aerogels will offer noval perspectives in the field of advanced materials for multifunctional applications.

Wood—a natural biomass resource—contains abundant hydroxyl groups that easily absorb moisture, making it hydrophilic. However, excessive amounts of moisture can deform and decay wood, leading to its poor dimensional stability and limiting its applicability. In particular, the surface of wood is prone to freezing when exposed to cold environments. Epoxy resin (EP) is frequently employed to prevent this issue and improve the service life of wood. Herein, the surface of wood was treated with EP and 3-(methacryloyloxy)propyltrimethoxysilane (KH570)-modified sunflower straw biochar (KH570@SFBC; the treated wood is referred to as KH570@SFBC-wood) to fabricate a coating with excellent photothermal properties, hydrophobicity, and durability. The changes in the static water contact angle and photothermal properties of wood under different lighting conditions were investigated. Results revealed that under these conditions, the surface temperature of KH570@SFBC-wood was higher than that of natural wood. Under 1-sun illumination (1000 W/m2), the surface temperature of KH570@SFBC-wood was 141.7 ℃ and ice melted on the surface within 10 s. KH570@SFBC-wood exhibited excellent hydrophobicity under harsh environmental conditions, such as while undergoing ultrasonic treatment and sandpaper abrasion as well as when immersed in a corrosive solvent. It also exhibited excellent stain resistance to liquids such as tea, juice, cola, milk, and coffee, which are commonly used in daily life. The developed coating exhibited excellent hydrophobicity, chemical stability, mechanical stability, photothermal stability, and self-cleaning and antifouling properties. Overall, the aforementioned fabrication method effectively improved the photothermal properties of wood and prolonged its surface freezing time, thereby expanding its applicability.

Natural rubber is an important industrial raw material and strategic resource, and the potential shortage of supply needs to be urgently solved. Taraxacum kok-saghyz Rodin (TKS) contains a significant amount of natural rubber in laticifers that is a secretory structure and its structure and development process are closely related to rubber production. Recently, the application of three-dimensional (3D) econstruction in plant promotes the understanding of relationship between internal structure and its function. However, 3D structural distribution and the developmental process of articulated laticifers in TKS has not been throughly studied. In this study, the three-dimensional pattern of TKS laticifers were obtained for the first time using micro-computed tomography imaging and found that the TKS laticifers interconnect into a network in each individual concentric layer. Notebly, the 3D analyses and paraffin section combined with histochemistry showed that the laticifer maturity from inside to outside of the root was positively correlated with natural rubber content. Furthermore, observations on the western blotting, immunofluorescence, and ultrastructure of laticifers indicated that autophagy is involved in the development of laticifers and the intensity of autophagy showed a trend from weak to strong and then weak from inside to outside of the root. Autophagosomes fused with lysosome structures to degrade most of the organelles and cytoplasmic compounds, which possibly provides precursor substances for the synthesis of rubber particles in TKS laticifers. In summary, these findings provided a theoretical basis for further exploring the mechanism of regulating the development of laticifers to increase the content of natural rubber.

Cellulose, a naturally abundant polysaccharide, has garnered significant attention as a recyclable and inexhaustible renewable resource, which offers a sustainable alternative to fossil-based polymers due to its edibility, environmental friendliness, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. To further enhance its applicability, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as innovative and green solvents owing to their exceptional low cost, easy fabrication, and non-toxicity, presenting new insights into cellulose chemistry by revealing the unique structure-property-application relationships. Thus, DESs are expected to become the preferred solvents for efficient cellulose dissolution. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of cellulose and DESs, highlighting the current advancements in cellulose dissolution using DESs, and exploring their potential in various cutting-edge applications. Moreover, we outline the opportunities and challenges associated with utilizing DESs for managing cellulose-based systems.

Twin-screw extrusion has recently seen its uses extended to the continuous green extraction of biomolecules. Here, it was successfully used for the extraction of antioxidants using subcritical water from two olive co-products, i.e., leaves (OL), and leaves plus branches (OLB). Extraction yields obtained were 52.5 % and 65.6 %, respectively, in proportion to the initial water-solubles. Total phenolic contents and antioxidant activities in the two freeze-dried extracts were 8.9 and 9.6 g gallic acid eq. per 100 g, and 9.8 and 12.1 g Trolox eq. per 100 g. These are of the same order of magnitude as those obtained in laboratory scale studies in which the extracts were obtained using ethanol rather than water as the extraction solvent, whether by maceration, Soxhlet or ultrasound. Twin-screw extrusion also enabled a high proportion of sugars to be co-extracted and, to a lesser extent, proteins, acetyl groups, and ash. For the future, this continuous industrial-scale technology represents a robust and economical methodology for the green extraction of antioxidants from olive leaves and branches. These extracts could find applications in agriculture or horticulture for plant protection, for food applications, or even in the cosmetics industry.

Two controlled-release pesticide systems based on layered double hydroxides (i.e. PDA/LDH@DNF and Zein/LDH@DNF) were developed to improve the anti-photodegradation and controlled release of dinotefuran (DNF) using polydopamine (PDA) or zein as the outer layer and layered double hydroxides (LDHs) as the inner carrier. Results showed that DNF was loaded into the LDHs surface by hydrogen bonding and electrostatic attraction, while both PDA and zein molecules were coated on the outer surface of LDH@DNF through hydrogen bonding. The loading proportions of PDA/LDH@DNF and Zein/LDH@DNF were as high as 10.17 % and 11.85 %, respectively. The PDA/LDH@DNF performed a pH-responsive release behavior due to the dissolution of carriers under different pH conditions. The cumulative amount of released DNF within 24 h at pH 5, 7, and 9 was 84.86 %, 59.59 %, and 33.44 %, respectively. On the other hand, Zein/LDH@DNF showed enzyme-responsive slow-release behavior. The final cumulative release of DNF from Zein/LDH@DNF in the presence of protease reached 46.77 % contrasting that of 24.69 % without adding protease. The anti-photodegradation capacities of DNF in PDA/LDH@DNF and Zein/LDH@DNF were improved to nearly 2.5 times higher than that of DNF without protection under ultraviolet irradiation. Compared with the commercial dinotefuran granules, the prepared systems enhanced the immobilization of DNF by reducing pesticide leaching by 54.55–64.72 % in soil. The two controlled-release pesticide systems were environmental-friendly to non-targeted zebra fish according to biosafety evaluation. Consequently, this research provides a controlled and sustained technology for long-term pest management and thus enhance pesticide efficiency as well as decline contamination to environment.

Soybean is a crucial global oilseed crop and a vital source of plant protein. As one of the world's largest consumers of soybeans, China heavily relies on soybean imports, making increased soybean yields an effective way to address the shortage of soybean resources. As soil salinization becoming increasingly severe, salt stress has become a major factor affecting soybean yield and quality in China. This paper proposes a deep learning framework for identifying salt stress levels in soybean seedlings using RGB images of their leaves. In this framework, a Convolutional Neural Network combined with a Convolutional Block Attention Module is used to extract image features; a dimensionality reduction method is employed to remove redundancy from the extracted features; and a machine learning classifier is used to classify the reduced features. Experimental results demonstrate that this framework can accurately identify salt stress levels from soybean leaf images while overcoming the overfitting problem associated with small datasets. Compared to existing traditional deep learning models, transfer learning models, and other frameworks, the proposed framework offers better classification performance and generalization ability.

Blackberry fruit (Rubus spp.) is a delicious fruit that is rich in pigments such as anthocyanins. Deep eutectic solvents (DES) stand as green efficient solvents for the recovery of pigments from various matrices in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. DES showed high efficiency for the recovery of anthocyanins from blackberry fruit. However, scientific data on the protective role and stability of pigments in DES is lacking. In the present study, we investigated the stabilization of anthocyanins from blackberry fruit extracted with choline chloride and glycerol-based DES (CHGLY). Stability tests including storage in darkness, light stability and thermal stability were designed. After storage in the dark, the pigments remained 25.55 ± 0.89–68.62 ± 1.25 % in the DES while they decreased to 0.07 ± 0.00–5.82 ± 0.48 % in the water. The evaluation of the degradation kinetics of anthocyanins revealed that they are more strongly protected and stable in CHGLY than in water. The t1/2 obtained with the storage in the dark was 91.90 ± 0.07–1238.27 ± 60.03 h for CHGLY and 64.58 ± 0.02–163.79 ± 4.77 h for water. For the light stability test, the t1/2 value was 283.59 ± 19.58h-589.49 ± 4.97 h for CHGLY and 65.79 ± 0.02h-170.42 ± 5.07 h for water. The thermodynamic properties such as first-order reaction constant k, activation energy (Ea), Gibbs value (∆G ̊), enthalpy (∆H ̊) and entropy (∆S ̊) demonstrated that natural pigments from blackberry fruit are thermally more stable in CHGLY than in a water solution. This work thereby generated important outcomes regarding the ability of DES to stabilize pigments such as anthocyanins.

Micro-nano structures play a pivotal role in constructing superhydrophobic fabrics. However, the micro-nano structures, formed by hydrogen-bonding assembly of inorganic nanoparticles, are susceptible to falling off, making superhydrophobic fabrics nondurable during practical applications. To address this issue, chemical bonding is proposed to construct micro-nano structures on cellulosic fibers by reactive phenyl T7-POSS-OH. Subsequently, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) binder is further introduced on surfaces of cotton fibers by dip-coating. Astonishingly, the treated cotton fabrics exhibit impressive superhydrophobic stability under harsh conditions including immersion in acidic/alkaline media, or organic solvents, high-temperature and outdoor exposures. Interestingly, the as-fabricated cotton fabrics show outstanding thermal self-healing capability even if suffered from extreme treatments including mechanical abrasion, UV irradiation, laundering and air plasma etching. Most notably, mechanical strength of the modified fabric is improved by two times as compared to that of the pristine cotton fabric. Unfortunately, both air permeability and thermal stability of the modified cotton fabric are slightly weakened due to reactive POSS. Additionally, the modified cotton fabric also exhibits excellent stain resistance, self-cleaning ability and oil-water separation performance. These findings provide an instructive strategy for developing durable multifunctional cotton fabrics, envisioning promising application prospects in self-cleaning, oil-water separation and water-proof fields in the future.

The capture of radioiodine plays a crucial role in protecting the environment and safeguarding public health. In this paper, we aim to investigate the iodine trapping properties of lignin with different structural features. Lignin, each with distinct structures and characteristics, was transformed into nanospheres and utilized in a fluidized bed system. The iodine trapping properties and mechanisms of the lignin nanospheres were thoroughly investigated. Notably, the fluidized bed was designed in-house after assessing the practical requirements of different application scenarios, making it both innovative and relevant to real-world applications. The results indicate that the iodine capture capacity of these lignin nanospheres (LNPs) can reach a maximum of 100 mg/g (CELNPs). The capture process is best described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Furthermore, the LNPs remain reusable. The primary mechanism for iodine capture by LNPs involves chemical interactions, while physical interactions serve only as a secondary mechanism. This study evaluated the applicability of lignin in iodine capture and to confirm its feasibility for purifying iodine vapors and subsequent industrial applications. This research provides foundational data for the future development of lignin-based iodine trapping materials and presents a pathway for realizing high-value applications of lignin.
