Spontaneous Directional Self-Cleaning on the Feathers of the Aquatic Bird Anser cygnoides domesticus Induced by a Transient Superhydrophilicity

In nature, the feathers of the goose Anser cygnoides domesticus stay superhydrophobic over a long term, thought as the main reason for keeping the surface clean. However, contaminants, especially those that are oleophilic or trapped within textures, cannot be removed off the superhydrophobic feathers spontaneously. Here, a different self-cleaning strategy based on superhydrophilic feathers is revealed that is imparted by self-coating of the amphiphilic saliva, which enables removing away low-surface-tension and/or small-size contaminants by forming directional water sheeting depending on their unique anisotropic microstructures. Particularly, the surface superhydrophilicity is switchable to superhydrophobicity upon exposure to air for maintaining a clean surface for a long time, which is further enhanced by coating with self-secreted preening oil. By alternate switching between a transient superhydrophilicity and a long-term stable superhydrophobicity, the goose feathers exhibit an integrated smart self-cleaning strategy, which is also shared by other aquatic birds. An attractive point is the re-entrant structure of the feathers, which facilitates not only liquid spreading on superhydrophilic feathers, but also long-term stability of the cleaned surface by shedding water droplets off the superhydrophobicity feathers. Thus, artificial self-cleaning microtextures are developed. The result renews the common knowledge on the self-cleaning of aquatic bird feathers, offering inspiration for developing bioinspired self-cleaning microtextures and coatings.     

Preparation of a ternary hybrid of P-g-C3N4@PGS-Ti and its enhancement of the flame retardancy of epoxy resins

A novel ternary hybrid flame retardant named P-g-C₃N₄@PGS-Ti was prepared through step-by-step method. First, titanium dioxide was loaded on PGS to make PGS-Ti (where PGS = palygorskite), and then, PGS-Ti was decorated by phosphor-doped g-C₃N₄ (abbreviated as P-g-C₃N₄) to prepare a ternary flame retardant of P-g-C₃N₄@PGS-Ti. It showed that P-g-C₃N₄@PGS-Ti could efficiently improve the flame retardancy of epoxy resins (EP). The structure and the morphology of P-C₃N₄@PGS-Ti were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scaanning electron microscopy and hermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The flame retardancy and the burning behavior of 5 wt% P-g-C₃N₄@PGS-Ti composited EP were well investigated through TGA, limiting oxygen index (LOI), cone calorimeter test (CCT) and vertical burning test (UL-94 standard). It was found that the peak heat releasing (pk-HRR) of the EP/P-g-C₃N₄@PGS-Ti composite reduced 36% (from 1459 to 852 kW/m²) with the addition of 5 wt% of P-g-C₃N₄@PGS-Ti flame retardant to the matrix of EP. The combustion residue analysis showed that the EP/P-g-C₃N₄@PGS-Ti composite gained the most continuous and firmest char yield due to the synergistic effect of PGS, TiO₂ and the introducing of P element. The mechanism proved that the combination of gas phase and condensed phase flame-retardant processes were well coordinated to improve the fire retardancy for EP. We tested and studied the mechanical properties of EP/P-g-C₃N₄@PGS-Ti composites. Only 2.4% decreasing of flexural strength and 23.5% decreasing of impact strength in EP/P-g-C₃N₄@PGS-Ti composites compared to pure EP, respectively. But according to the test results of EP/P-g-C₃N₄@PGS-Ti composite material and the control sample in the system, EP/P-g-C₃N₄@PGS-Ti composite material had the highest flexural modulus and impact strength.

In situ Raman spectroscopic study towards the growth and excellent HER catalysis of Ni/Ni(OH)2 heterostructure

The electrochemical water splitting to produce H₂ in high efficiency with earth-abundant-metal catalysts remains a challenge. Here, we describe a simple “cyclic voltammetry + ageing” protocol at room temperature to activate Ni electrode (AC-Ni/NF) for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), by which Ni/Ni(OH)₂ heterostructure is formed at the surface. In situ Raman spectroscopy reveals the gradual growth of Ni/Ni(OH)₂ heterostructure during the first 30 min of the aging treatment and combined with polarization measurements, it suggests a positive relation between the Ni/Ni(OH)₂ amount and HER performance of the electrode. The obtained AC-Ni/NF catalyst, with plentiful Ni–Ni(OH)₂ interfaces, exhibits remarkable performance towards HER, with the low overpotential of only 30 mV at a H₂-evolving current density of 10 mA/cm² and 153 mV at 100 mA/cm², as well as a small Tafel slope of 46.8 mV/dec in 1 M KOH electrolyte at ambient temperature. The excellent HER performance of the AC-Ni/NF could be maintained for at least 24 h without obvious decay. Ex situ experiments and in situ electrochemical-Raman spectroscopy along with density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that Ni/Ni(OH)₂ heterostructure, although partially reduced, can still persist during HER catalysis and it is the Ni–Ni(OH)₂ interface reducing the energy barrier of H1 adsorption thus promoting the HER performance.     

Effects of hydroxyl radical induced oxidation on water holding capacity and protein structure of jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) mantle

Protein oxidation is considered as an important issue in food preservation process. In the present study, the potential influence of protein oxidation on water holding capacity and protein structure of jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) mantle was investigated. After the hydroxyl radical oxidation, it was found that the carbonyl, surface hydrophobicity and dityrosine content of myofibrillar protein significantly increased (P < 0.05), while the content of total sulphydryl decreased significantly (P < 0.01). Meanwhile, the fluorescence intensity of squid was weakened, and the maximum absorption peak of fluorescence red shift as the H₂O₂ concentration increased. The sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) showed that not only the protein cross-linking but also degradation could have occurred. The content of α-helix decreased, the content of β-sheet, β-turn and the unordered structures increased after oxidation. In addition, oxidation resulted in a decrease in water holding capacity. Taken together, oxidation resulted in the damage of the myofibrillar structure, the increase in muscle loss rate and the decrease in water holding capacity.
