Chicken feathers represent a major agro-industrial waste stream, rich in recalcitrant β-keratin that resists conventional degradation. In this study, we developed a hybrid valorization strategy that integrates green ionic liquids (ILs) with microbial keratinase hydrolysis to efficiently convert feather waste into bioactive amino acids. A protic ionic liquid, monoethanolammonium formate ([MEA][HCOO]), was synthesized and characterized via FTIR and ¹H NMR. Optimization studies demonstrated that waste feathers completely dissolved in [MEA][HCOO] IL at 130 °C within 2 h. The dissolved substrate was subsequently hydrolysed by keratinase produced by Bacillus licheniformis (MTCC 2617), which exhibited peak activity of 12.9 ± 0.3 U mL⁻¹ after 48 h of cultivation at 37 °C and pH 7. The integrated IL–enzyme system significantly enhanced feather hydrolysis, releasing 151.1 μg/mL soluble protein (1.511 mg total), equivalent to 15.1 mg protein g⁻¹ feather, as determined by the Bradford assay. Amino acid analysis further confirmed serine (24.0 mg g⁻¹ feather (2.40 mg per 20 mL batch)) and glycine (8.09 mg g⁻¹ feather (0.809 mg per 20 mL batch)) as dominant products, identified by RP–HPLC and ninhydrin assays, respectively. To maximize amino acid recovery, RSM was employed to optimize dissolution and hydrolysis parameters, identifying pH 8.0 and hydrolysis temperature of 35 °C. This integrated approach demonstrates a sustainable circular bioeconomy pathway, converting low-value poultry waste into high-value biomolecules for applications in agriculture, cosmetics, and biomedicine.

鸡毛是一种主要的农业工业废物流，富含抗常规降解的顽固β-角蛋白。在这项研究中，我们开发了一种混合增值策略，将绿色离子液体（ILs）与微生物角化酶水解结合起来，有效地将羽毛废物转化为生物活性氨基酸。合成了一种质子离子液体甲酸一乙醇铵（[MEA][HCOO]），并通过FTIR和1H NMR对其进行了表征。优化研究表明，废羽毛在130℃条件下2 h内完全溶解于[MEA][HCOO] IL中。溶解后的底物随后被地衣芽孢杆菌（Bacillus licheniformis, MTCC 2617）产生的角化酶水解，在37℃和pH 7条件下培养48 h后，该酶的峰值活性为12.9±0.3 U mL−1。综合il -酶系统显著促进羽毛水解，释放151.1 μg/mL可溶性蛋白（总1.511 mg），相当于15.1 mg蛋白g−1根羽毛。氨基酸分析进一步证实丝氨酸（24.0 mg g - 1羽毛（2.40 mg / 20 mL批次））和甘氨酸（8.09 mg g - 1羽毛（0.809 mg / 20 mL批次））是主要产物，分别通过RP-HPLC和ninhydrin测定。为了最大限度地提高氨基酸的回收率，采用RSM优化溶解和水解参数，确定pH为8.0，水解温度为35℃。这种综合方法展示了可持续的循环生物经济途径，将低价值的家禽废物转化为高价值的生物分子，用于农业、化妆品和生物医学。

In this materialistic world, the multifunctional materials and their applications are widely appreciated. A novel multifunctional nanoparticle, the casein-infused nickel hydroxide, is synthesized through co-precipitation method and analysed for its electrochemical and antibacterial activities in this work. Analysis includes X-ray diffraction (XRD),Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope with Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (FESEM with EDAX), High-Resolution Transition Electron Microscope (HRTEM), X-ray Photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrochemical performance of the prepared material was evaluated using Cyclic voltammetry (CV), Galvanostatic charge and discharge (GCD) and Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies. Specific capacitance of casein-infused nickel hydroxide nanocomposite shows increased specific capacitance, increased energy and power density compared to that of pure nickel hydroxide nanoparticles that are attributed to the surface and structural modification. Further, the synergetic effect found in the casein-infused nickel hydroxide bio-nanocomposite shows an increased antimicrobial activity than that of the pure nickel hydroxide in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility assay.

This study reports the eco-friendly synthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO₂ NPs) using Cissus Quadrangularis stem extract and evaluates their biological, photocatalytic, and electronic properties. The synthesized TiO₂ NPs were characterized by FT–IR, XRD, UV–Vis, HR–SEM, and EDX, confirming their composition, crystallinity, and uniform morphology. The nanoparticles exhibited strong antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (36 mm) and Bacillus subtilis (22 mm) with MIC values of 75 μg and 100 μg, respectively. Antioxidant assays (DPPH, ABTS, PM) showed over 50% activity relative to ascorbic acid. Photocatalytic studies demonstrated ∼50% degradation of methylene blue within 12 h, indicating potential for environmental remediation. The DFT method with CAM-B3LYP/6–311++G(d,p) basis set was analyses of Quercetin and TiO₂ NPs revealed electronic distributions, frontier molecular orbitals, MEP, ELF, LOL, RDG, and DOS, providing insights into reactivity and non-covalent interactions. First hyperpolarizability (β₀) indicated significant nonlinear optical potential, while molecular docking confirmed favorable protein interactions. These findings demonstrate that green-synthesized TiO₂ NPs possess multifunctional properties suitable for antibacterial, antioxidant, photocatalytic, and NLO applications, offering a sustainable approach for biomedical and environmental technologies.

Nickel-based metal-organic frameworks (Ni-MOFs) are synthesized and employed as efficient adsorbents for the removal of cadmium (Cd²⁺) ions from aqueous solutions. The adsorption process is optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) with a central composite design (CCD) to evaluate the influence of three key factors: pH, contact time, and adsorbent concentration. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) confirms the adequacy of the quadratic model, with high correlation coefficients (R² = 0.9969 and

R_{a d j}^{2}

= 0.9941) and low coefficient of variation, indicating strong model reliability. Among the studied parameters, solution pH emerges as the most significant factor influencing Cd²⁺ removal. The optimization results reveal that a pH of 5.0, a contact time of 15 min, and an adsorbent concentration of 0.03 g yield an optimum cadmium removal efficiency of 79.9 %. Confirmatory experiments validate the predicted model outcomes, demonstrating close agreement between experimental and theoretical values. This study establishes Ni-MOFs as a promising, efficient, and reusable adsorbent for cadmium remediation in wastewater treatment applications.

This study investigates the use of biochar derived from municipal sewage sludge, pyrolyzed at 450 °C in an O₂-free atmosphere, as an adsorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) from wastewater. The biochar was physicochemically characterized by FTIR, SEM, XRD, XPS, BET analysis, and pH at the zero point charge (pH_zpc). Batch adsorption experiments were conducted at room temperature to evaluate its performance for Cr(VI) removal. The effects of initial Cr(VI) concentration, adsorbent dose, agitation time, and pH on the adsorption were explored. The adsorption capacity increased from 23.19 to 81.75 mg/g as the initial Cr(VI) concentration rose from 30 to 100 mg/L. Optimal adsorption occurred at pH⁓5, with an agitation time of 60 min and a sorbent dose of 5 g/L. Linear regression analysis indicated that the Freundlich model provided a better fit than the Langmuir model for describing Cr(VI) adsorption onto the biochar. The adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model, suggesting that the process is governed by chemisorption. In addition, the biochar showed excellent recyclability and reusability over four regeneration-adsorption cycles, demonstrating its potential for suitable long-term applications. This study provides an efficient, low-cost and eco-friendly adsorbent for treating Cr(VI)-containing wastewater, while also offering a sustainable solution for sewage sludge management.

Improving the corrosion resistance and surface mechanical properties of T2-Cu is essential for its application in aggressive chemical and marine environments. In this study, a Ni/Ni–Co–La composite coating was prepared on T2-Cu by ultrasonic-assisted double-pulse electrodeposition to elucidate the electrochemical behavior of La³⁺ in an aqueous system and its influence on coating performance. The deposition mechanism and kinetics were investigated using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results indicate that La³⁺ is co-deposited with Ni²⁺ and Co²⁺ through an induced, irreversible, diffusion-controlled process, forming a single-phase face-centered cubic Ni-based solid solution. The introduction of La significantly refines the grain structure and enhances coating compactness. Electrochemical corrosion tests in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution show that the corrosion current density decreases from 4.387 to 0.287 μA cm⁻² (≈93.5% reduction), while the corrosion potential shifts positively by 88 mV, and the corrosion rate is reduced by nearly one orders of magnitude. Meanwhile, the microhardness increases from 177.2 to 563.3 HV_0.2 (≈218%), and the average friction coefficient decreases by about 67%. These results demonstrate that rare-earth-modified alloy coatings prepared by double-pulse electrodeposition provide an effective strategy for protecting copper alloys.

提高T2-Cu的耐腐蚀性和表面力学性能是其在腐蚀性化学和海洋环境中应用的必要条件。本研究采用超声辅助双脉冲电沉积的方法在T2-Cu表面制备了Ni/Ni - co - la复合镀层，以研究La3+在水体系中的电化学行为及其对镀层性能的影响。采用循环伏安法、计时安培法和电化学阻抗法研究了沉积机理和动力学。结果表明：La3+与Ni2+和Co2+通过诱导、不可逆、扩散控制的过程共沉积，形成单相面心立方ni基固溶体；镧的引入使镀层的晶粒结构明显细化，致密性增强。在3.5 wt% NaCl溶液中进行电化学腐蚀试验，腐蚀电流密度从4.387减小到0.287 μA cm−2(≈93.5%)，腐蚀电位正位移88 mV，腐蚀速率降低了近1个数量级。同时，显微硬度从177.2提高到563.3 HV0.2(≈218%)，平均摩擦系数降低约67%。结果表明，采用双脉冲电沉积法制备稀土改性合金涂层是一种有效的铜合金保护策略。

This study investigates the optical properties, electrical conductivity and dielectric behavior of a series of azo Schiff base quinoline ligands 4-{[5-(4- derivatives-phenylazo)-8-hydroxy-quinolin-7-ylmethylene]-amino}-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-pyrazol -3-one (HL₁ – HL₅). Optimized molecular geometry and quantum chemical calculations indicate that the HL₄ ligand is more stable than the other ligands. The HOMO–LUMO energy gap of ligands is in the range 2.645–3.552 eV. The thermal activation energies for AC conductivity for ligands decrease with increasing frequency, and the AC conductivity is influenced by the variation of the substituent groups in the ligand structures. The AC electrical conductivity mechanism in HL₁–HL₅ is found to follow the correlated barrier hopping model. The type of electronic transition found to be indirect allowed for all ligands. The optical energy gaps (E_g) are calculated to be 0.613, 1.19, 1.658 and 1.753 eV, for the thermally evaporated thin films of the HL_2-5 ligands, respectively. The width of the band tail (E_u) values is found in range from 0.713 to 1.000 eV for the ligands. All the ligands show good emission properties; especially HL₁ ligand demonstrates the highest values of emission intensity.

In this study, Ni/Zn/S containing films were successfully electrodeposited on nickel foam using leachates derived from cold purification filter cakes of a zinc production plant. This method introduces the effective utilization of industrial waste to produce efficient electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media. The structural, morphological, and compositional properties of the films were characterized by SEM, XRD, EDS, and FTIR analyses.

Among the samples prepared under different deposition conditions, the catalyst obtained via optimized pulsed chronoamperometric deposition exhibited the best HER performance, achieving overpotentials of 70, 110, 200, and 330 mV at 10, 20, 50, and 100 mA cm⁻², respectively. The Tafel slope of 95 mV.dec⁻¹ indicates favorable reaction kinetics dominated by the Tafel step. Moreover, the optimized sample displayed the highest double layer capacitance (C_dl = 7.09 μF cm⁻²) and electrochemically active surface area (ECSA = 354 cm²) corresponding to a roughness factor of approximately 354.

The enhanced activity is attributed to its rough, thin morphology and Ni–S-rich surface composition, which increase both the density of active sites and intrinsic catalytic activity. This work demonstrates that complex industrial leachates can be effectively recycled into high-performance and low-cost HER electrocatalysts through optimization of the electrodeposition process.

利用某锌厂冷净化滤饼的渗滤液，成功地在泡沫镍上电沉积了含Ni/Zn/S薄膜。本文介绍了利用工业废渣在碱性介质中制备高效析氢反应电催化剂的方法。采用SEM、XRD、EDS和FTIR等分析手段对膜的结构、形态和成分进行了表征。在不同沉积条件下制备的样品中，通过优化脉冲计时安培沉积得到的催化剂表现出最好的HER性能，在10、20、50和100 mA cm−2下分别实现了70、110、200和330 mV的过电位。Tafel斜率为95 mV.dec−1，表明反应动力学以Tafel步骤为主。此外，优化后的样品显示出最高的双层电容（Cdl = 7.09 μF cm−2）和电化学活性表面积（ECSA = 354 cm2），对应的粗糙度因子约为354。活性的增强是由于其粗糙、薄的形貌和富含ni - s的表面组成，从而增加了活性位点的密度和内在催化活性。该研究表明，通过优化电沉积工艺，复杂的工业渗滤液可以有效地回收成高性能和低成本的HER电催化剂。

The present study reports the development of a novel AC/MnO₂ nanocomposite synthesized from the dead bark of Indian jujube for the efficient removal of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye from aqueous media. Activated carbon (AC) was produced via chemical activation and subsequently modified through a low-temperature reductive deposition method to form a uniform MnO₂ coating. The structural, morphological, and surface properties of the nanocomposite were extensively characterized using FTIR, XRD, FESEM, HRTEM, EDS, and zeta potential analysis. The XRD pattern confirmed the formation of α-MnO₂ on the AC surface, while FTIR revealed abundant oxygen-containing functional groups that facilitate dye interaction. FESEM/HRTEM imaging showed a highly porous architecture suitable for adsorption, and the nanocomposite exhibited strong surface stability with a zeta potential of −43.10 mV.

Batch adsorption studies demonstrated that RhB removal was strongly influenced by pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, initial dye concentration, and temperature. Optimal performance was achieved at pH 2, with a dose of 40 mg L⁻¹ and a contact time of 50 min, resulting in a maximum removal efficiency of 98.40 %. Kinetic data fitted best to the pseudo-second-order model, indicating chemisorption-dominated interaction, while equilibrium data followed the Langmuir isotherm, suggesting monolayer adsorption with a maximum adsorption capacity of 135.13 mg g⁻¹. Thermodynamic analysis confirmed the spontaneity and endothermic nature of the adsorption process. The nanocomposite retained ∼90 % adsorption efficiency after four reuse cycles, demonstrating excellent structural stability and reusability.

Overall, the study establishes AC/MnO₂ synthesized from Indian jujube bark as a cost-effective, sustainable, and high-performance adsorbent for dye-contaminated wastewater remediation.

In the present study, cellulose micro/nano strands (CMNS) extracted from sugarcane bagasse were utilized to prepare biocompatible three-phase O/W (oil-in-water) emulsion systems wherein water was a continuous phase and coconut oil was a dispersed phase. Prepared emulsions were characterized for their physicochemical and rheological properties. The destabilization, creaming behavior, droplet size distribution and rheological properties of prepared three-phase emulsion systems (Pickering emulsions) were correlated with variations in coconut oil and CMNS concentrations. Emulsion with 5 % CMNS concentration displayed superior properties with the least creaming tendency and higher stability due to optimal formulation resulting in a strong interconnected network of cellulose nano-strands. Oil concentration worked synergistically with the amount of CMNS to fix the emulsion stability. The interconnected network of CMNS could be responsible for a mechanical steric barrier around the oil droplets, preventing their coalescence and stabilizing the emulsion phase over time. The shear-thinning behaviors of emulsions were confirmed with a flow behavior index (n) value below 1. The consistency index showed that for a low shear rate, the collision between particles formed aggregate in the system consequently raising the emulsion viscosity. For higher shear rates, the former aggregates break eventually decreasing the viscosity. The developed biocompatible O/W emulsions will have widespread applications in cosmetics and personal care, food packaging, and pharmaceuticals.

在本研究中，利用从蔗渣中提取的纤维素微纳米链（CMNS）制备生物相容性三相O/W（水包油）乳液体系，其中水为连续相，椰子油为分散相。对制备的乳液进行了理化性质和流变性能表征。制备的皮克林乳液体系的失稳、成乳行为、液滴大小分布和流变性能与椰子油和CMNS浓度的变化有关。当CMNS浓度为5%时，乳液表现出优异的性能，乳化倾向最小，稳定性更高，这是由于优化的配方导致了纤维素纳米链的强互联网络。油的浓度与CMNS的用量协同作用，以固定乳状液的稳定性。相互连接的CMNS网络可能负责油滴周围的机械位阻屏障，阻止它们聚并并随着时间的推移稳定乳液相。乳状液的剪切减薄行为在流动性能指数(n)小于1时得到证实。稠度指数表明，在低剪切速率下，颗粒之间的碰撞在体系中形成聚集体，从而提高乳液粘度。在较高的剪切速率下，原有的团聚体最终破裂，降低了粘度。所研制的生物相容性乳剂将在化妆品、个人护理、食品包装和药品等领域得到广泛应用。
