The exacerbation of plant invasion by microplastics attracted widespread attention. Pulse resource hypothesis is popular theory to elucidate plant invasion. Our previous work demonstrated biodegradable microplastics (BMPs) could increase the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonization rate.

Porphyrinic hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (porph-HOFs) have emerged as highly promising materials in the realm of photocatalysis due to their remarkable attributes, including low density, high surface area, efficient visible light absorption, and notable chemical stability. However, the rapid recombination of photogenerated charges remains a significant concern. In this work, a novel HOF-based photocatalyst, PFC-72/TiO was successfully designed with visible light response and high electron transfer capability.

Background: Hepatic fibrosis is a pathophysiological process of extracellular matrix abnormal deposition induced by multiple pathogenic factors. Currently, there is still a lack of effective and non-toxic drugs for treating fibrosis in clinic. Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds synthesized in plants and modern pharmacological studies confirmed flavonoids exhibit potent hepatoprotective effect.

The invasion of alien plant and the pollution caused by soil microplastics have emerged as significant ecological threats. Recent studies have demonstrated aggravating effect of non-biodegradable microplastics on plant invasion. However, the impact of biodegradable microplastics (BMPs) on plant invasion remains unclear.

Traditional solid phase extraction (SPE) suffers from a lack of specific adsorption. To overcome this problem, a combination of adsorption method and molecular imprinting technology by polydopamine modification was proposed to realize specific recognition of target compounds in SPE, which is of great significance to improve the separation efficiency of SPE. Cellulose hydrogel beads were prepared by dual cross-linking curing method and modified with polydopamine to make them hydrophilic and biocompatible.

The migration and transformation of allelochemicals are important topics in the exploration of allelopathy. Current research on the migration of allelochemicals mostly uses soil column and thin layer methods and verifies it by sowing plant seeds. However, traditional methods inevitably ignore the flux caused by the movement of allelochemicals carried by water.

Chlorogenic acid (CGA), known as an important natural antioxidative compound in Ficus carica L, has valuable application prospects on health food, functional food, nutrition and dietary formulations. In this study, a surface multiple imprinting layers membrane (SMILM) was developed and applied to separate CGA from F. carica.

In recent years, it has been found that changing ambient conditions (CO /N , temperature, pH) can trigger a switchable phase transition of deep eutectic solvents, and such solvents are known as responsive deep eutectic solvents. In this work, we present the development history, properties, and preparation of responsive deep eutectic solvents, followed by the application of responsive deep eutectic solvents in the extraction and separation of bioactive compounds are presented. Importantly, the mechanism of responsive deep eutectic solvents in the extraction of bioactive compounds is discussed.

Article Synopsis
  • A novel switchable temperature-responsive ionic liquid-based microemulsion (TRIL-SFME) was developed for extracting hydrophilic and lipophilic compounds from Camptotheca acuminata.
  • TRIL-SFME demonstrated low viscosity and quick temperature responsiveness, leading to enhanced extraction yields (1.50-5.79 times higher) compared to traditional solvents.
  • The system enabled rapid in-situ separation of different polar compounds within 3 minutes through thermal demulsification, and its extraction mechanism was analyzed using dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), revealing a unique “water pool” structure.

This study introduced the preparation of a novel HOF-loaded PU sponge (HOF-3PU) composite for the sustainable and efficient purification of catalpol and ajugol from leaves for the first time. HOF-3 was selected as the best adsorbent from the five synthesised HOFs. HOF-3PU was prepared by ultrasonication, and the loading conditions were optimised.
