Spin polarization induced by atomic strain of MBene promotes the ·O2 – production for groundwater disinfection by Zhaoli Liu, Wenzhe Gao, Lizhi Liu, Yixuan Gao, Cui Zhang, Long Chen, Fan Lv, Jiafeng Xi, Ting Du, Linpin Luo, Junchen Zhuo, Wentao Zhang, Yanwei Ji, Yizhong Shen, Wen Liu, Jianlong Wang, Mingchuan Luo, Shaojun Guo

“…An emerging approach for green disinfection lies at photocatalysis, which levers the locally generated superoxide radical (·O2 −) for neutralization. However, the spin-forbidden feature of O2 hinders the photocatalytic generation of active ·O2 −, and thus greatly limited the disinfection efficiency, especially for real groundwater with a low dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration. …”

Effects of Luteolin Treatment on Postharvest Quality and Antioxidant Capacity of Nanfeng Tangerines by Wenjuan Dong, Xiaohan Wang, Miaolian Xiang, Jinyin Chen, Jiaoke Zeng, Ming Chen

“…Furthermore, luteolin treatment inhibited malondialdehyde (MDA) and H₂O₂ accumulation by enhancing the content of total phenols and flavonoids content, augmenting antioxidant enzyme activities (peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD)), and elevating the overall antioxidant capacity measured through the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging rate. Collectively, these results demonstrate that luteolin has potential as a preservative for promoting postharvest quality and antioxidant capacity. …”

1-Methylcyclopropene Delays Browning and Maintains Aroma in Fresh-Cut Nectarines by Rui Zhang, Ze Miao, Shuang Xie, Jiao Li, Sheng Tao, Yuqian Jiang, Lingling Pang, Lihua Duan, Xihong Li

“…Compared with the control, 1-MCP pre-cutting treatment maintained the ultrastructural integrity of the cell wall in fresh-cut nectarines, which also showed reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) content and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and enhanced the 1,1-Diphenyl-2-Picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities. Electronic nose and GC-MS analysis revealed that the aroma profiles presented significant differences in the control and 1-MCP treatment during the storage at 0 °C for 10 days. …”

Solar Photocatalytic Degradation of Bisphenol A on Immobilized ZnO or TiO2 by Andreas Zacharakis, Efthalia Chatzisymeon, Vassilios Binas, Zacharias Frontistis, Danae Venieri, Dionissios Mantzavinos

“…Degradation in wastewater is slower than that in pure water up to five times, implying the scavenging behavior of effluent’s constituents against hydroxyl radicals. Finally, the presence of other endocrine disruptors, such as 17α-ethynylestradiol, spiked in the reaction mixture at low concentrations usually found in environmental samples (i.e., 100 μg/L), neither affects BPA degradation nor alters its kinetics to a considerable extent.…”
