Article Abstract

The fabrication of novel chemically cross-linked double network cryogels (DNC), with an abundant number of amine groups, based on chitosan (CS) cross-linked with glutaraldehyde (GA), as the first network, and poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI), with a concentration up to 15% cross-linked with ethyleneglycol diglycidyl ether (EGDGE), as the second network, and their enhanced sorption capacity for phosphate ions are presented here. The phosphate sorption was fast (equilibrium in three hours) and well modeled by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The experimental sorption isotherms were fitted with Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models. The Langmuir and Sips isotherms were the best in modeling the sorption process. The maximum sorption capacity given by the Langmuir isotherm for the DNC having the highest content of GA and the highest concentration of PEI was about 343 mg phosphate/g, which placed this novel sorbent among the best sorbents for phosphate recently reported in literature.

CuCo-Layered Double Hydroxide Nanosheets Grown on Hierarchical Carbonized Wood as Bifunctional Electrode for Supercapacitor and Hydrogen Evolution Reaction.

Adv Sci (Weinh)

September 2025

Carbonized wood has great potential as a self-supported electrode for energy storage/conversion applications. However, developing efficient and economical bifunctional electrodes by customizing the surface structure remains a challenge. This study proposes a novel multifunctional electrode design strategy, using N/P co-doped carbonized wood (NPCW) as carriers and in situ grows copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) as nucleation centers to induce vertical growth of CuCo-layered double hydroxid (LDH) nanosheets along the substrate.

TLR8 and TLR9 are innate immune receptors belonging to the TLR family that are essential for viral recognition and early immune activation. Their dysfunction is linked to increased susceptibility to infections. TLR8 detects viral single- and double-stranded RNA, while TLR9 recognizes viral DNA molecules with CpG motifs.

Transcription factors (TFs) are essential proteins that regulate gene expression by specifically binding to transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) within DNA sequences. Their ability to precisely control the transcription process is crucial for understanding gene regulatory networks, uncovering disease mechanisms, and designing synthetic biology tools. Accurate TFBS prediction, therefore, holds significant importance in advancing these areas of research.

Reconstruction of three-dimensional fractures in coal based on multidirection slicing and U-Net segmentation.

J Adv Res

September 2025

State Key Laboratory for Fine Exploration and Intelligent Development of Coal Resources, China University of Mining and Technology at Beijing, Beijing 100083, China. Electronic address:

Introduction: Accurate characterization of multi-size fractures in coal is crucial for estimating its transport properties. However, the extraction of narrow microfractures in 3D voxel-type CT images is difficult, which causes the loss of connectivity in the extracted fracture network and reduces the accuracy of the predicted transport properties.

Objectives: Improving the image quality and optimizing the segmentation process to deal with the inaccuracy of fracture extraction from coal CT images.

Foam dust suppressant based on synergistic coordination between oxidized starch-gelatin Schiff base reaction and multiple crosslinking.

Carbohydr Polym

College of Safety and Environmental Engineering, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, China; State Key Laboratory of Mining Disaster Prevention and Control Co-founded by Shandong Province and the Ministry of Science and Technology, Shandong University of Science and Technol

Aiming at the problems such as large dust in each production process of open-pit mines, insufficient water resistance of the curing layer of dust control materials, and poor mechanical strength, this research applied the network generated by Schiff base reaction between oxidized starch (OS) and gelatin (GEL) as the basis, and combined with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and calcium chloride (CaCl). This material improves the problem of poor dust suppression effect caused by the environment of open-pit coal mines. It was found that the large number of amino groups contained in GEL attack the carbon atoms in the carbonyl group of OS to form carbon-nitrogen double bonds, generating Schiff bases as the crosslinking network, which enhanced the water resistance of the polymers.
