A new turn-on fluorescence sensor based on xylenol orange (XO) functionalized CdSe/CdS quantum dots (QDs) is developed for the determination of lead ion. CdSe/CdS QDs were first modified by mercaptoacetic acid (MAA). The MAA-modified QDs were then capped with the natural biopolymer chitosan and the negatively charged XO. The XO-functionalized QDs were formed via the layer-by-layer self-assembly reaction. The fluorescence of the QDs was quenched by electron transfer mechanism after XO was bound to the QDs. Upon the addition of Pb(2+), a dramatic enhancement of the fluorescence intensity was observed, which resulted from the coordination between Pb(2+) and XO on QDs surface and the disruption of the electron transfer mechanism. Hence the fluorescence of the QDs was recovered. The recovery of the fluorescence intensity showed a good linear relationship with the concentration of Pb(2+) added from 0.05 to 6 μmol L(-1). A detection limit of 0.02 μmol L(-1) was achieved. This method was successfully applied to the determination of lead in real samples with satisfactory results.

Layer-by-Layer (LbL) self-assembly encapsulation is a promising technology for the protection and delivery of lactic acid bacteria. However, laboratory-scale encapsulation is often time-consuming, involves intensive protocols tailored for small-scale operations, requires substantial amounts of energy and water, and results in a low yield of encapsulated biomass. Scaling-up this process to a bench-bioreactor scale is not simply a matter of increasing culture volume as different key parameters (not particularly relevant at lab scale) become critical, including biomass production, the number of polymer layers, and the biomass-to-polymer mass ratio.

In this study, physicochemical and structural properties of gelatin-zein blending films and bilayer films prepared through blending and layer-by-layer self-assembly method under TGase crosslinking were systematically compared. The ratios of gelatin to zein examined were 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2. Results showed that the tensile strength of both blending films and bilayer films was the highest when the ratio of gelatin to zein was 2:1, which was 4.

Due to their outstanding electrical and thermal properties, graphene and related materials have been proposed as ideal candidates for the development of lightweight systems for thermoelectric applications. Recently, the nanolaminate architecture that entails alternation of continuous graphene monolayers and ultrathin polymer films has been proposed as an efficient route for the development of composites with impressive physicochemical properties. In this work, we present a novel layer-by-layer approach for the fabrication of highly ordered, flexible, heat-resistant, and electrically conductive freestanding graphene/polymer nanolaminates through alternating Marangoni-driven self-assembly of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and poly(ether imide) (PEI) films.

Article Synopsis
- Research on 3D and 2D perovskite hybrid systems highlights their great potential in optoelectronic applications, but the physics of their interfaces is not well understood.
- Using fluorescence microspectroscopy, the study investigates the photoluminescence properties of CsPbBr/PEAPbBr nano-heterostructures, revealing new quasi-2D structural phases that form at the 3D/2D interface.
- The research shows that these phases can restructure under light excitation, enhancing energy transfer between the 2D and 3D materials, which is vital for advancing optoelectronic devices.
