A novel molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) using the specific ionic liquid (i.e. 1-vinyl-3-carboxymethylimidazolium bromide, 1-vinyl-3-carboxyethylimidazolium bromide, 1-viny-3-carboxybutylimidazolium bromide, or 1-vinyl-3-carboxypentylimidazolium bromide) as functional monomer was prepared via precipitation polymerization, which can be used to selectively separate synephrine (SYN) from methanol-water media. Ionic liquids are facile to be designed with varying the cation or anion, which enables the specific ionic liquid to be effectively designed to be a functional monomer for the preparation of MIP. The MIP showed a good selectivity and high adsorption capacity for SYN in methanol-water media. The adsorption process could be described by the pseudo-first-order model, which meant that the adsorption kinetics described a diffusion-controlled process. The equilibrium data fitted well to the Freundlich model, indicating multilayer adsorption. Finally, the MIP were successfully applied as sorbent to selectively enrich and separate SYN from the extracts of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus with a relatively high recovery (80-90%).

Research into flexible solid-state supercapacitors for wearable electronics focuses on achieving high performance and safety. Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) are preferred over fully solid-state electrolytes due to their better ionic conductivity while addressing safety concerns associated with liquid electrolytes. This study aims to enhance high-performance gel polymer electrolytes (HP-GPEs) by improving the ion transfer rate of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with sulfonated hexagonal boron nitride (known as white-graphene) and exploring how rheology influences ion-conduction within HP-GPEs.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how the surface properties and electrical conductivity of betaine-based ionic liquids change when mixed with different concentrations of gabapentin at a specific temperature.
  • The findings show that as gabapentin concentration and the length of the alkyl chain increase, surface tension decreases, indicating stronger interactions.
  • Additionally, micellization parameters improve with longer chains, while conductivity decreases at higher gabapentin concentrations due to increased viscosity and ion interactions.

Here, a green poly(ionic liquid)-regulated one-pot method is developed for the synthesis of Au@Pt core-shell nanospheres (PNSs) under mild reaction conditions in water. It is found that the poly(ionic liquid) poly[1-methyl-3-butyl (3-hydroxy) imidazole] chloride (PIL-Cl) is very vital to guide the construction of Au@Pt PNSs. The as-obtained Au@Pt-1 PNSs have perfect spherical outlines, porous core-shell structures and large specific surface area by which they exhibit excellent peroxidase-like activity in acidic media and can be used to develop a simple and reliable colorimetric sensing platform.

Complex multicellular organisms are composed of distinct tissues involving specialized cells that can perform specific functions, making such life forms possible. Species are defined by their genomes, and differences between individuals within a given species directly result from variations in their genetic codes. While genetic alterations can give rise to disease-causing acquisitions of distinct cell identities, it is now well-established that biochemical imbalances within a cell can also lead to cellular dysfunction and diseases.

Nanopore technology holds great potential for single-molecule identification. However, extracting meaningful features from ionic current signals and understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the specific features remain unresolved. In this study, we uncovered a distinctive ionic current pattern in a K238Q aerolysin nanopore, characterized by transient spikes superimposed on two stable transition states.
