Article Abstract

Na-montmorillonite (Na-Mt) modified by quaternary ammonium surfactants containing different organic counterions [OMt-QAS·Y, Y = CHCO , CH (CH)COO, CHCH(OH)COO, and HCOO] was prepared for enhancing the adsorption capacity of 2, 4-dichlorophenol/cibacron brilliant yellow 3G-P. Compared with Na-Mt, whose adsorption efficiency for 2,4-dichlorophenol/cibacron brilliant yellow 3G-P was only 58/1.85 mg/g, the adsorption efficiency of OMt-QAS·Y was greatly improved, with OMt-QAS·CHCO having the highest adsorption capacity of 152.85/116.17 mg/g. The kinetic and isotherm studies indicate that all adsorption processes fit well to the pseudo-second-order model and Freundlich model, respectively. The hydrophobicity of counterions and their affinity with the aliphatic chains had an effect on the interlayer spacing and point of zero charge of OMt-QAS·Y, which in turn affected their adsorption properties.

Background: Dengue virus (DENV) is a major global health challenge, causing over 7.6 million reported cases in 2024. Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (NmAbs) have emerged as promising therapeutics to address the limitations of vaccines and lack of antivirals, but their development is complicated by viral diversity, "breathing" dynamics, and antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE).

The increasing global demand for food and the adverse environmental impacts of excessive agrochemical use highlights the urgent need for sustainable and scalable seed treatment technologies. This paper reports a novel photothermal seed coating (QC@SCCNTs) with high biocompatibility, exceptional photothermal efficiency, and notable reusability, serving as an effective alternative to conventional chemical treatments. The coating consists of sericin-functionalized carboxylated carbon nanotubes (SCCNTs) electrostatically complexed with quaternary ammonium chitosan (QC), forming a composite film (QS film).

Polyaromatic quaternary ammonium salts (PQASs) are of significant interest due to their promising applications in biological and materials sciences. The incorporation of a heteroatom significantly modifies the electronic and chemical properties of these molecules, influencing their absorption and emission characteristics, as well as the HOMO-LUMO gap. Herein, we report the synthesis and photophysical investigation of [7]helicene-backboned quaternary ammonium salts.

Smart antibacterial materials are gaining attention for their potential in controlled drug release and efficient treatment. This study constructed a composite hydrogel based on oxidized bacterial cellulose (OBC) and quaternary ammonium chitosan (QAC). This hydrogel was loaded with the natural antibacterial drug berberine (Ber) and utilized the abundant functional groups (such as amino and carboxyl groups) on OBC and QAC to achieve pH responsiveness, achieving on-demand drug release in the alkaline microenvironment of simulated chronic wounds.

Natural photosynthesis, a quintessential energy conversion process sustaining life on Earth through its sophisticated multi-step energy transfer cascades, has inspired the development of artificial light-harvesting systems aimed at mimicking its efficiency and complexity. Here, we report a supramolecular energy transfer platform constructed electrostatic interactions between sodium polystyrene sulfonate (RSS) and a quaternary ammonium salt modified cyano-substituted phenylenevinylene derivative (PPTA) in HO medium, achieving a sequential four-step energy relay. Energy is sequentially transferred from the PPTA-RSS complex to eosin Y (EY), rhodamine B (RhB), sulforhodamine 101 (SR101), and cyanine 5 (Cy5), with stepwise enhancement in superoxide anion radical (O˙) generation efficiency.
