Construction of Low-Cost Z-Scheme Heterojunction CuO/PCN-250 Photocatalysts Simultaneously for the Enhanced Photoreduction of CO to Alcohols and Photooxidation of Water.

Solar-driven high-efficiency conversion of CO with water vapor into high-value-added alcohols is a promising approach for reducing CO emissions and achieving carbon neutrality. However, the rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers and low CO adsorption capacity of photocatalysts are usually the factors that limit their applicability. Herein, a series of low-cost Z-scheme heterostructures CuO/PCN-250- are constructed by growth of ultrasmall CuO nanoparticles on PCN-250.

Production of bioactive metabolites by submerged fermentation of the medicinal mushroom Antrodia cinnamomea: recent advances and future development.

Edible and medicinal mushrooms have usually been considered as a sustainable source of unique bioactive metabolites, which are valued as promising provisions for human health. Antrodia cinnamomea is a unique edible and medicinal fungus widespread in Taiwan, which has attracted much attention in recent years for its high value in both scientific research and commercial applications owing to its potent therapeutic effects, especially for its hepatic protection and anticancer activity. Due to the scarcity of the fruiting bodies, the cultivation of A.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of lipo-alkaloids and fatty acids in Aconitum carmichaelii using LC-MS and GC-MS.

Introduction: Lipo-alkaloid (LA) is a kind of C -norditerpenoid alkaloid in Aconitum species, which usually contains an aconitane skeleton and one or two fatty acid residues.

Objective: To qualify and quantify the fatty acids and lipo-alkaloids in Aconitum carmichaelii.

Methodology: An ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QQQ-MS) method was established to quantify LAs, while the free fatty acids were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS).
