This study is critically important, as it assesses the corrosion resistance properties of annealed steel wire electrodes coated with manganese, employing chronoamperometry and linear voltammetry techniques. The electrodes were immersed in an electrolyte solution and subjected to chronoamperometry at various voltages (−0.55 V, −0.60 V, and −0.70 V) and durations (60 s and 1800 s). Subsequently, linear voltammetry was performed over a potential range from −0.8 V to 0.8 V to generate Tafel plots. The Butler–Volmer equation was applied to the data obtained to determine the corrosion current density. The results indicate that the optimal conditions for forming a highly effective protective manganese layer occur at a potential of −0.70 V for 1800 s. Under these conditions, the electrodes exhibited superior corrosion resistance. This study also revealed that shorter durations and less negative potentials led to less-effective manganese coatings, with higher corrosion rates and reduced stability. These findings are significant for developing efficient corrosion protection methods in industrial and research applications, providing clear parameters for optimizing the manganese electrodeposition process on annealed steel. <a href="/2673-9623/4/4/23">Full article</a> </div> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2673-9623/4/4/23/show" ><span

This study focuses on synthesis and characterization of Ruthenium (Ru)-modified iridium oxide (IrO<sub>2</sub>) catalysts. The anode is the principal reason for the high overpotential of PEMWEs and it also greatly increases the cost of the electrolyzers. IrO<sub>2</sub> is highly stable and corrosion-resistant, particularly in acidic environments, making it a durable catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in PEMWEs, though it suffers from a relatively high overpotential. Ruthenium oxide (RuO<sub>2</sub>), on the other hand, is more catalytically active with a lower overpotential, but is less stable under the same conditions. In this study, the goal was to improve the catalytic activity and stability of the anode catalyst, IrO<sub>2</sub>, through the controlled incorporation of Ru and to reduce overall catalyst cost due to the reduced iridium content. This synergistic combination allows for better performance in terms of conductivity, efficiency, and durability, making Ru-modified IrO<sub>2</sub> an ideal catalyst for OER in PEMWE applications. The Adams fusion method was adapted and used to synthesize the catalysts. The modified catalysts were characterized using analytical instruments. These analyses provided insights into the structural, morphological, and electrochemical properties of the Ru-modified IrO<sub>2</sub> catalysts. <a href="/2673-9623/4/4/22">Full article</a> </div> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2673-9623/4/4/22/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1505225"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1505225"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1505225" data-cycle-prev="#prev1505225" data-cycle-progressive="#images1505225" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1505225-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00022/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00022-g001-550.jpg?1729743228" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images1505225" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1505225-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00022/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00022-g002-550.jpg?1729743230'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1505225-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00022/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00022-g003-550.jpg?1729743232'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-1505225-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00022/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00022-g004-550.jpg?1729743239'><p>Figure 4</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-1505225-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00022/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00022-g005-550.jpg?1729743243'><p>Figure 5</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='5' data-target='article-1505225-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00022/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00022-g006-550.jpg?1729743244'><p>Figure 6</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='6' data-target='article-1505225-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00022/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00022-g007-550.jpg?1729743244'><p>Figure 7</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='7' data-target='article-1505225-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00022/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00022-g008-550.jpg?1729743245'><p>Figure 8</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='8' data-target='article-1505225-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00022/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00022-g009-550.jpg?1729743246'><p>Figure 9</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1505225-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline;

The resistance of this species to synthetic insecticides contributes to an increase in the incidence of malaria and therefore necessitates the development of new potent and eco-friendly insecticides. In this study, twelve previously reported limonoids from four <i>Entandrophragma</i> species collected in Cameroon have been computationally evaluated for their <i>Anopheles gambiae</i> AChE inhibitory activity. The docking procedure was carried out through Molecular Operating Environment 2019.01 (MOE), while the UCSF Chimera program was used to model the docking results based on interactions between proteins and ligands, and molecular dynamics trajectories were analyzed using the GROMACS 2021.1 tool. Entandrophragmin and encandollens B and C with docking scores ranging from −6.45 to −7.28 kcal/mol were the most promising hits compared to the reference azadirachtin (−6.22 kcal/mol) and were further evaluated for their mechanism of action. Subsequent evaluation classified encandollen C as the best candidate for the development of new potent eco-friendly insecticides based on its lower average RMSD and RMSF and its compactness over a 150 ns duration with acetylcholinesterase. <a href="/2673-9623/4/4/20">Full article</a> </div> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2673-9623/4/4/20/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1503733"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1503733"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1503733" data-cycle-prev="#prev1503733" data-cycle-progressive="#images1503733" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1503733-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00020/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00020-ag-550.jpg?1729581577" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Graphical abstract</p></div><script id="images1503733" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1503733-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00020/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00020-g001-550.jpg?1729581567'><p>Figure 1</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1503733-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00020/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00020-g002-550.jpg?1729581568'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-1503733-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00020/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00020-g003-550.jpg?1729581569'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-1503733-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00020/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00020-g004-550.jpg?1729581571'><p>Figure 4</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='5' data-target='article-1503733-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00020/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00020-g005-550.jpg?1729581572'><p>Figure 5</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='6' data-target='article-1503733-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00020/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00020-g006-550.jpg?1729581574'><p>Figure 6</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='7' data-target='article-1503733-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00020/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00020-g007-550.jpg?1729581575'><p>Figure 7</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1503733-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline;

This study explores the potential of olive waste (OW) by-products, specifically their individual components such as olive stones (OS), olive oily pomace (OS) and olive oil-free pomace (OF), as sustainable alternatives to wood in eco-friendly composite materials, alongside other residues such as miscanthus, spent mushroom substrate and recycled textile waste. Composite panels were produced with densities ranging from 685 to 907 kg/m<sup>3</sup> through thermocompression. The manuscript details the production methodology and assesses the panel’s thermal performance, water absorption, and mechanical strength. The aim is to assess the viability of these alternative materials in producing composites that could serve as environmentally friendly substitutes for traditional wood-based products. Oil-free pomace is a promising and effective alternative to wood, suitable for dry environments. Composite panels composed of miscanthus or spent mushroom substrate and oil-free pomace met the EN 312 standards for general-purpose products in dry conditions, highlighting their potential for use in sustainable applications. <a href="/2673-9623/4/3/19">Full article</a> </div> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2673-9623/4/3/19/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1483760"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1483760"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1483760" data-cycle-prev="#prev1483760" data-cycle-progressive="#images1483760" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1483760-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00019/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00019-ag-550.jpg?1727162970" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Graphical abstract</p></div><script id="images1483760" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1483760-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00019/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00019-g001-550.jpg?1727162949'><p>Figure 1</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1483760-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00019/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00019-g002-550.jpg?1727162952'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-1483760-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00019/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00019-g003-550.jpg?1727162954'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-1483760-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00019/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00019-g004-550.jpg?1727162958'><p>Figure 4</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='5' data-target='article-1483760-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00019/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00019-g005-550.jpg?1727162959'><p>Figure 5</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='6' data-target='article-1483760-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00019/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00019-g006-550.jpg?1727162960'><p>Figure 6</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='7' data-target='article-1483760-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00019/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00019-g007-550.jpg?1727162962'><p>Figure 7</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='8' data-target='article-1483760-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00019/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00019-g008-550.jpg?1727162964'><p>Figure 8</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='9' data-target='article-1483760-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00019/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00019-g009-550.jpg?1727162965'><p>Figure 9</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='10' data-target='article-1483760-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00019/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00019-g010-550.jpg?1727162968'><p>Figure 10</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='11' data-target='article-1483760-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00019/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00019-g011-550.jpg?1727162969'><p>Figure 11</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1483760-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline;

Fungi are a valuable resource for improving a circular economy through the enhanced valorization of biomass and plant waste. They harbor a great diversity of oxidative enzymes, especially in their secretome. Enzymatic breakdown of the plant cell wall complex and lignocellulosic biomass yields sugars for fermentation and biofuel production, as well as aromatic compounds from lignin that can serve as raw materials for the chemical industry. To harness the biocatalytic potential, it is essential to identify and explore wild-type fungi and their secretomes. This study successfully combined genome mining and activity screening to uncover the oxidative potential of a collection of underexploited ascomycetes and basidiomycetes. The heme peroxidase and laccase activities of four promising candidates, <i>Bipolaris victoriae</i>, <i>Colletotrichum sublineola</i>, <i>Neofusicoccum parvum</i> and <i>Moesziomyces antarcticus</i>, were investigated to gain a deeper insight into their enzyme secretion. Furthermore, a plant-based medium screening with the phytopathogen <i>C. sublineola</i> revealed that soybean meal is a beneficial component to trigger the production and secretion of enzymes that catalyze H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-dependent oxidations. These results demonstrate that understanding fungal secretomes and their enzymatic potential opens exciting avenues for sustainable biotechnological applications across various industries. <a href="/2673-9623/4/3/18">Full article</a> </div> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2673-9623/4/3/18/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1452457"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1452457"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1452457" data-cycle-prev="#prev1452457" data-cycle-progressive="#images1452457" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1452457-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00018/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00018-g001-550.jpg?1723112838" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images1452457" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1452457-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00018/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00018-g002-550.jpg?1723112840'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1452457-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00018/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00018-g003-550.jpg?1723112842'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-1452457-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00018/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00018-g004-550.jpg?1723112846'><p>Figure 4</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-1452457-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00018/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00018-g005-550.jpg?1723112850'><p>Figure 5</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='5' data-target='article-1452457-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00018/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00018-g0A1-550.jpg?1723112852'><p>Figure A1</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1452457-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00018/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00018-g001-550.jpg?1723112838" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>Taxonomic classification of the mined fungi, belonging to the phyla <span class="html-italic">Ascomycota</span> and <span class="html-italic">Basidiomycota</span>, based on NCBI Common Tree and visualized using the online tool ‘iTOL: Interactive Tree Of Life’.

The effect of crystallization on the electrochemical and tribological properties of the HVOF-sprayed Fe-based coating was systematically studied. The XRD results validated the fully amorphous nature of the as-sprayed coating by showing a broad peak at 43.44° and crystallization of this coating after heat-treatment at 700 °C by demonstrating sharp peaks of Fe-, Mo-, and Cr-based carbides. After crystallization, an increase in the corrosion current density from 4.95 μAcm<sup>−2</sup> to 11.57 μAcm<sup>−2</sup> and in the corrosion rate from 4.28 mpy to 9.99 mpy, as well as a decrease in the polarization resistance from 120 Ωcm<sup>2</sup> to 65.12 Ωcm<sup>2</sup>, were observed, indicating the deterioration of the corrosion resistance of the as-sprayed Fe-based coating. This can be attributed to the formation of porous ferrous oxide, providing an easy channel for charge transfer and promoting pit formation. However, a decrease in the coefficient of friction from 0.1 to 0.05 was observed, highlighting the significant improvement in the wear resistance of the Fe-based coating after crystallization. This can be associated with the precipitation of hard carbides (MxCy) at the boundaries of the crystallized regions. <a href="/2673-9623/4/3/17">Full article</a> </div> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2673-9623/4/3/17/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1445615"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1445615"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1445615" data-cycle-prev="#prev1445615" data-cycle-progressive="#images1445615" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1445615-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00017/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00017-g001-550.jpg?1722267858" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images1445615" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1445615-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00017/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00017-g002-550.jpg?1722267862'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1445615-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00017/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00017-g003-550.jpg?1722267863'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-1445615-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00017/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00017-g004-550.jpg?1722267870'><p>Figure 4</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-1445615-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00017/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00017-g005-550.jpg?1722267871'><p>Figure 5</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='5' data-target='article-1445615-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00017/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00017-g006-550.jpg?1722267874'><p>Figure 6</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='6' data-target='article-1445615-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00017/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00017-g007-550.jpg?1722267882'><p>Figure 7</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1445615-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline;

It plays a significant role in contributing to the emissions arising from a variety of anthropogenic activities, such as energy production, transportation, the construction industry, and other industrial processes. Capturing and utilizing CO<sub>2</sub> to mitigate its impact on the environment is, therefore, of significant importance. To do so, strategies such as net-zero strategies, deploying capture and storage technologies, and converting CO<sub>2</sub> into useful products have been proposed. In this review, we focused our attention on the preparation and performance of polymeric and crystalline materials for efficient CO<sub>2</sub> capture. More precisely, we examined MOFs, petroleum-based polymers (amine-based, polymeric ionic liquid, ionic polymer, conjugated macro/micro-cyclic polymer, and porous organic polymer) as well as bio-based polymers for CO<sub>2</sub> capture. In brief, the present work aims to guide the reader on the available crafted polymeric and crystalline materials offering a promising avenue towards innovative carbon dioxide capture strategy. <a href="/2673-9623/4/3/16">Full article</a> </div> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2673-9623/4/3/16/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1422798"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1422798"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1422798" data-cycle-prev="#prev1422798" data-cycle-progressive="#images1422798" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1422798-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00016/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00016-g001-550.jpg?1719407892" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images1422798" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1422798-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00016/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00016-g002-550.jpg?1719407897'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1422798-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00016/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00016-g003-550.jpg?1719407898'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-1422798-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00016/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00016-g004-550.jpg?1719407899'><p>Figure 4</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-1422798-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00016/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00016-g005-550.jpg?1719407902'><p>Figure 5</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='5' data-target='article-1422798-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00016/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00016-g006-550.jpg?1719407904'><p>Figure 6</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='6' data-target='article-1422798-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00016/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00016-g007-550.jpg?1719407907'><p>Figure 7</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='7' data-target='article-1422798-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00016/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00016-g008-550.jpg?1719407908'><p>Figure 8</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='8' data-target='article-1422798-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00016/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00016-g009-550.jpg?1719407911'><p>Figure 9</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='9' data-target='article-1422798-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00016/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00016-g010-550.jpg?1719407913'><p>Figure 10</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='10' data-target='article-1422798-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00016/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00016-g011-550.jpg?1719407916'><p>Figure 11</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='11' data-target='article-1422798-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00016/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00016-g012-550.jpg?1719407917'><p>Figure 12</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1422798-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00016/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00016-g001-550.jpg?1719407892" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>Representation of different MOF structures.

Irradiation (λ<sub>max</sub> = 355 nm) of benzil yields its triplet excited state with λ<sub>max</sub> at 480 nm and τ<sub>T</sub> = 9.6 μs. Under the same conditions, 2,2′-furil shows a triplet-triplet absorption spectrum with bands at 380, 410, 450, and 650 nm and τ<sub>T</sub> = 1.4 μs. Quenching rate constants (<i>k<sub>q</sub></i>) of the reaction between benzil triplet and substituted phenols ranged from 1.4 × 10<sup>7</sup> L mol<sup>−1</sup> s<sup>−1</sup> (<i>para</i>-chlorophenol) to 1.8 × 10<sup>8</sup> L mol<sup>−1</sup> s<sup>−1</sup> (<i>para</i>-methoxyphenol). A new transient was formed in all cases, assigned to the benzil ketyl. Similar results were obtained for the quenching of 2,2′-furil triplet by phenols, for which <i>k<sub>q</sub></i> ranged from 1.9 × 10<sup>8</sup> L mol<sup>−1</sup> s<sup>−1</sup> (<i>para</i>-chlorophenol) to 2.2 × 10<sup>8</sup> L mol<sup>−1</sup> s<sup>−1</sup> (<i>para</i>-methoxyphenol). The 2,2′-furil ketyl radical was also observed in all cases (λ<sub>max</sub> = 380 nm). The quenching rate constants are almost independent of the substituent and diffusion-controlled (<i>k<sub>q</sub></i> ~ 10<sup>8</sup> L mol<sup>−1</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>). The proposed mechanism for the phenolic hydrogen abstraction by benzil and 2,2′-furil triplet may involve a proton-coupled electron transfer reaction, ultimately leading to the radical pair ketyl/aryloxyl. <a href="/2673-9623/4/3/15">Full article</a> </div> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2673-9623/4/3/15/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1422335"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1422335"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1422335" data-cycle-prev="#prev1422335" data-cycle-progressive="#images1422335" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1422335-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00015/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00015-g001-550.jpg?1719391461" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images1422335" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1422335-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00015/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00015-g002-550.jpg?1719391462'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1422335-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00015/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00015-g003-550.jpg?1719391463'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-1422335-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00015/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00015-g004-550.jpg?1719391464'><p>Figure 4</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-1422335-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00015/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00015-g005-550.jpg?1719391465'><p>Figure 5</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='5' data-target='article-1422335-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00015/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00015-g006-550.jpg?1719391466'><p>Figure 6</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='6' data-target='article-1422335-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00015/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00015-g007-550.jpg?1719391467'><p>Figure 7</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='7' data-target='article-1422335-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00015/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00015-g008-550.jpg?1719391468'><p>Figure 8</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='8' data-target='article-1422335-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00015/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00015-g009-550.jpg?1719391469'><p>Figure 9</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='9' data-target='article-1422335-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00015/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00015-g010-550.jpg?1719391470'><p>Figure 10</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='10' data-target='article-1422335-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00015/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00015-g011-550.jpg?1719391472'><p>Figure 11</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='11' data-target='article-1422335-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00015/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00015-sch001-550.jpg?1719391475'><p>Scheme 1</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1422335-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline;

Camus, the Australian Native Lemongrass, is a lesser-known member of the genus <i>Cymbopogon,</i> and research on this plant is scarce. Australian Indigenous people use the stalks and leaves of <i>C. ambiguus</i> as teas. Dried chopped leaves are also used as herbs in cooking. The aim of this study was to determine the proximate composition and bioactive properties of Australian native lemongrass (<i>C. ambiguus</i>). Antimicrobial capacity was carried out using the well diffusion method, antioxidant capacity by the FRAP method, and antidiabetic capacity by using the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity assay. The results obtained in the current study were compared with previously published literature on lemongrass (<i>C. citratus</i>). The results showed that <i>C. ambiguus</i> has lower fat and protein content and lower antioxidant and antimicrobial capacities than <i>C. citratus</i>, but it is very rich in fibre (67.55%) and has strong α-glucosidase inhibitory capacity. The total phenolic and total flavonoid content determined in the aqueous extract of <i>C. ambiguus</i> are also notable. The results of the present study showed that Australian native lemongrass has promising bioactive potential to be used as an alternative native herbal tea. <a href="/2673-9623/4/2/14">Full article</a> </div> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2673-9623/4/2/14/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1402913"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1402913"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1402913" data-cycle-prev="#prev1402913" data-cycle-progressive="#images1402913" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1402913-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00014/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00014-ag-550.jpg?1716807976" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Graphical abstract</p></div><script id="images1402913" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1402913-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00014/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00014-g001-550.jpg?1716807972'><p>Figure 1</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1402913-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00014/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00014-g002-550.jpg?1716807974'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-1402913-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00014/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00014-g003-550.jpg?1716807976'><p>Figure 3</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1402913-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00014/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00014-ag-550.jpg?1716807976" title=" <strong>Graphical abstract</strong><br/><strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2673-9623/4/2/14'>Full article</a></strong> "></a><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00014/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00014-g001-550.jpg?1716807972" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>(<b>A</b>) The dried Australian native lemongrass (<span class="html-italic">Cymbopogon ambiguus</span> A.

A comprehensive analysis of the chemical and physical characteristics of OPP was conducted, employing analytical techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis and emitted gas analysis (TG-MS-EGA), and proximal analysis. Experimental samples of epoxy grout were prepared by using different proportions of a conventional inorganic filler, quartz powder, and OPP within an epoxy mortar matrix. As the percentage of OPP in the formulation increased, the microstructure of the samples gradually became more porous and less compact. Consequently, there was a decrease in density with the increase in OPP content. The 28-day compressive strength decreased from 46 MPa to 12.8 MPa, respectively, in the samples containing only quartz (Sample E) and only OPP (Sample A) as a filler. Similarly, flexural strength decreased from 35.2 to 5.3 MPa. The thermal conductivity decreased from 0.3 W/mK in Sample E to 0.11 in Sample A. Therefore, increasing the %wt of OPP improved insulating properties while reducing the mechanical resistance values. This study highlights the potential of OPP as an environmentally friendly and thermally efficient filler for epoxy mortars, thereby promoting sustainable construction practices. <a href="/2673-9623/4/2/13">Full article</a> </div> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2673-9623/4/2/13/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1389332"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1389332"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1389332" data-cycle-prev="#prev1389332" data-cycle-progressive="#images1389332" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1389332-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00013/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00013-g001-550.jpg?1715069558" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images1389332" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1389332-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00013/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00013-g002-550.jpg?1715069559'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1389332-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00013/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00013-g003-550.jpg?1715069566'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-1389332-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00013/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00013-g004-550.jpg?1715069568'><p>Figure 4</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-1389332-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00013/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00013-g005-550.jpg?1715069571'><p>Figure 5</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='5' data-target='article-1389332-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00013/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00013-g006-550.jpg?1715069572'><p>Figure 6</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='6' data-target='article-1389332-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00013/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00013-g007-550.jpg?1715069580'><p>Figure 7</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='7' data-target='article-1389332-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00013/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00013-g008-550.jpg?1715069587'><p>Figure 8</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='8' data-target='article-1389332-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00013/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00013-g009-550.jpg?1715069590'><p>Figure 9</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='9' data-target='article-1389332-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00013/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00013-g010-550.jpg?1715069592'><p>Figure 10</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='10' data-target='article-1389332-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00013/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00013-g011-550.jpg?1715069594'><p>Figure 11</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1389332-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline;

This study delves into the electrochemical reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> as a promising avenue for sustainable carbon capture and utilization. Focused on the formation of formate (HCOO<sup>−</sup>/HCOOH), a high-value product, the research explores the integration of nonthermal plasma (NTP) with electrochemical processes—an approach rarely studied in existing literature. A comprehensive investigation involves varying parameters such as plasma discharging voltage, carrier gas, discharging mode, electrolysis voltage, polarity, and plasma type. The electrochemical tests employ a 10 wt.% Pd/C catalyst, and formate production is quantitatively analyzed using NMR. Results reveal that NTP significantly enhances CO<sub>2</sub> reduction, with key factors influencing formate yield elucidated. The study reveals the complexity of CO<sub>2</sub> electrochemical reduction, providing novel insights into the synergistic effects of NTP. These findings contribute to advancing sustainable technologies for CO<sub>2</sub> utilization, paving the way for more efficient and environmentally friendly processes in the pursuit of a carbon-neutral future. <a href="/2673-9623/4/2/12">Full article</a> </div> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2673-9623/4/2/12/show" ><span

The biochar pH was adjusted to approximately 6 using sulfuric and phosphoric acids prior to formulating the six tested composites. Maize was cultivated for 50 days under greenhouse conditions, with evaluations of the maize dry matter (DM) and N in the plant shoot. The biochar and composite properties underwent scrutiny for chemical and physicochemical attributes, as well as for soluble N in water and in an HCl solution. Throughout maize cultivation, the release of N as ammonium and nitrate from the composites and pure biochars in the Oxisol solution was successively assessed. Composites formulated with DAP and supplied at a dose of 270 mg kg<sup>−1</sup> N yielded the same maize dry matter as composites in which 400 mg kg<sup>−1</sup> N was supplied to plants. Regardless of the N source, at the end of maize cultivation, the residual N in the Oxisol was reduced and inadequate for a new cultivation, even in soils treated with urea. Notably, the biochar–N composites, particularly those formulated with DAP, were as effective as urea in nourishing and promoting robust maize growth. In contrast, the maize biomass was lower for plants fertilized with pure biochars, indicating that the N from the carbonized matrices was insufficient for optimal biomass production. <a href="/2673-9623/4/2/11">Full article</a> </div> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2673-9623/4/2/11/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1377305"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1377305"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1377305" data-cycle-prev="#prev1377305" data-cycle-progressive="#images1377305" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1377305-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00011/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00011-g001-550.jpg?1713348756" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images1377305" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1377305-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00011/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00011-g002-550.jpg?1713348758'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1377305-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00011/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00011-g003-550.jpg?1713348760'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-1377305-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00011/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00011-g004-550.jpg?1713348761'><p>Figure 4</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-1377305-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00011/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00011-g005-550.jpg?1713348764'><p>Figure 5</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1377305-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00011/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00011-g001-550.jpg?1713348756" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>(<b>a</b>) Spectral signature of composite and biochars by the FTIR-ATR spectroscopy technique of (<b>a</b>) chicken manure biochar, chicken manure biochar with acidification and leguminous cake biochar; (<b>b</b>) composite FTIR spectra in the region between 600 cm<sup>−1</sup> and 4000 cm<sup>−1</sup>.

Chalcones and their derivatives have demonstrated promising pharmacological potential for the treatment of diabetes. The aim of the study was to evaluate antidiabetic activities and analyze 4-methoxychalcone (MPP) using GC-MS. The compound was characterized using mass spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance and headspace with gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (HS-GC-MS). MPP was evaluated via the inhibition of the alpha-glucosidase enzyme, cell viability and antiglycation and hemolytic activities in vitro. The study of the interaction between the bovine serum albumin protein and MPP was investigated via molecular docking. Oral sucrose tolerance and oral glucose tolerance tests were performed in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. The HS-GC-MS method was able to accurately detect and characterize the compound, and the interaction between MPP and BSA revealed the remarkable affinity for the two main binding sites of BSA. This was confirmed by the in vitro antiglycation test, since MPP showed activity through both oxidative and non-oxidative stress. MPP significantly attenuated the increase in glycemia after glucose loading in STZ-induced diabetic mice. These results confirm that MPP has antihyperglycemic activity and may be an alternative for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. <a href="/2673-9623/4/2/10">Full article</a> </div> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2673-9623/4/2/10/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1373199"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1373199"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1373199" data-cycle-prev="#prev1373199" data-cycle-progressive="#images1373199" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1373199-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00010/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00010-g001-550.jpg?1717588121" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images1373199" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1373199-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00010/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00010-g002-550.jpg?1717588124'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1373199-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00010/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00010-g003-550.jpg?1717588126'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-1373199-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00010/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00010-g004-550.jpg?1717588128'><p>Figure 4</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-1373199-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00010/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00010-g005-550.jpg?1717588130'><p>Figure 5</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='5' data-target='article-1373199-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00010/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00010-g006-550.jpg?1717588132'><p>Figure 6</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='6' data-target='article-1373199-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00010/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00010-g007-550.jpg?1717588133'><p>Figure 7</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1373199-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00010/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00010-g001-550.jpg?1717588121" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p><sup>1</sup>H NMR spectrum and region amplification δ 7.0–8.3 of 4-methoxychalcone (MPP) (DMSO-<span class="html-italic">d</span><sub>6</sub>, 500 MHz).</p> <strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2673-9623/4/2/10'>Full article</a></strong> "></a><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/appliedchem/appliedchem-04-00010/article_deploy/html/images/appliedchem-04-00010-g002-550.jpg?1717588124" title=" <strong>Figure 2</strong><br/> <p>Chromatogram, calibration curve and mass spectrum of GC-MS headspace analysis for the quantification of 4-methoxychalcone.

The market could benefit significantly if a simple and cheap method of analyzing a wine’s aromatic profile were developed. The purpose of this study is to develop such a method. A multi-analytical method for quantifying 39 volatile compounds of wine aroma was developed and validated using liquid–liquid extraction and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). The method was validated for its linearity, reproducibility, recovery, limit of detection, and limit of quantification and showed excellent results for almost all compounds.
