Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a sulfur-coordinated Cu single-atom material and a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the technical field of fruit and vegetable storage and preservation materials. Background Art
[0002] Against the backdrop of rapid technological advancements, the field of fruit and vegetable preservation technology is experiencing a diverse and innovative trend, encompassing a variety of advanced approaches, including microbial manipulation, radiation sterilization, vacuum packaging, thin-film technology, and biopreservatives. Numerous research and trials are underway to combat oxidative browning and mold in fruits and vegetables, including low-temperature storage, controlled atmosphere refrigeration, mild preheating, ultraviolet light irradiation, xanthan gum and cinnamic acid composite coatings, chitosan coatings, fumigation, melatonin application, and postharvest inoculation. Some of these preservation strategies face limitations in commercial application due to insufficient validation of their effectiveness or consumer acceptance. Therefore, the research and promotion of fruit and vegetable preservation technologies remains of profound theoretical and practical significance, playing a crucial role in enhancing market competitiveness, reducing food loss, ensuring food safety, and satisfying public demand for a healthier diet.
[0003] Lipoic acid, a multifunctional plant growth regulator, possesses significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, playing a key role in regulating plant growth and development. This substance profoundly impacts plant growth and development by neutralizing reactive oxygen free radicals, optimizing circadian rhythms, and regulating fruit ripening and aging. Currently, lipoic acid research primarily focuses on clinical medicine, with limited research on its application in fruit and vegetable preservation.
[0004] Single-atom materials, as an emerging class of nanoscale materials, are composed of individual atoms connected by specific chemical bonds. They exhibit unique atomic-level structures, exceptional chemical stability, and excellent physical properties. These materials, with their high degree of controllability, fine pore structures, and surface functionalization, have revolutionized materials science and nanotechnology. Cu single atoms, nanoscale catalysts composed of single copper atoms, exhibit high activity, stability, and controllability. They have applications in electrocatalysis, CO2 reduction, organic synthesis, and sensors. They are at the forefront of nanoscience and materials science, promising advancements in energy conversion and environmental protection. Due to their unique structure and properties, single-atom materials have shown tremendous potential for applications in environmental protection, drug delivery, and controlled molecular release, and have garnered extensive attention and research. Furthermore, the metal sites in single-atom materials can undergo coordination, a field worthy of further exploration. In Cu single-atom catalysts, copper atoms can form coordinated structures with support materials or surrounding ligand atoms through chemical bonds. This coordination can modulate the electronic state of the single-atom material, thereby influencing its catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability. However, there is little research on Cu single-atom materials in the fields of coordination modification and fruit and vegetable preservation, and it is worth further exploration.
[0005] Thin film technology demonstrates remarkable practicality in food preservation, offering significant convenience, cost-effectiveness, and safety. It effectively extends the shelf life of fruits and vegetables while preserving their original quality and freshness, fully satisfying consumers' demand for high-quality food. Chitosan, a natural high-molecular-weight polysaccharide derived from the shells of crustaceans, possesses extremely high biocompatibility and gelling properties. Thanks to its excellent transparency and superior mechanical properties, chitosan has found widespread application in the pharmaceutical and food industries. In recent years, chitosan has been widely used in the production of food wrap, which provides excellent protection, effectively preventing moisture and contamination, and significantly extending the shelf life of food. Furthermore, chitosan is biodegradable and has a minimal environmental impact. Furthermore, gelatin, a protein extracted from animal bones and skin, also exhibits excellent gelling properties and biocompatibility, making it widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. With the advancement of science and technology, intelligent responsive controlled-release systems have become a hot topic of research. These systems can intelligently respond to external stimuli or environmental changes (such as pH, gas, temperature, and humidity) to release active substances at optimal times and conditions. These systems have enormous potential and are expected to trigger innovative breakthroughs and promote scientific and technological advancement in fields such as medicine, agriculture, and food.

In the TEM image, it can be seen that the morphology of Cu single atoms and sulfur-coordinated Cu single atoms remains consistent, without significant changes, and both show a regular and uniform dodecahedron morphology. Compared with Cu single atoms, the size of sulfur-coordinated Cu single atoms also hardly changes, proving that this coordination method does not affect its external morphology. In the infrared spectrum, it can be seen that the characteristic peak of disulfide bonds (520cm-1) is lost in the sulfur-coordinated Cu single atoms. -1 ), which produces a C-S bond (665 cm -1 ), indicating that when lipoic acid coordinates with Cu single atoms, the disulfide bond of lipoic acid is broken, and a Cu-S coordination bond is formed with the Cu single atom site, allowing the two to bind tightly. In the potential image, it can be seen that the potential of the sulfur-coordinated Cu single atom material has dropped significantly. In XRD, it can be seen that the crystal structures of Cu single atoms and sulfur-coordinated Cu single atom materials are very similar, indicating that the coordination of Cu single atoms with lipoic acid does not affect their structural integrity. In the nitrogen adsorption curve and specific surface area, it can be seen that Cu single atoms and sulfur-coordinated Cu single atom materials have microporous and mesoporous structures; after the Cu single atom is coordinated with lipoic acid, the specific surface area decreases, which means that this coordination occupies a small amount of pores, thereby reducing the available surface area for adsorption of gases or other molecules.
[0099] Figure 15-18 The graphs show the UV blocking performance, water vapor transmission rate, and antioxidant performance of the films made from the membrane solutions prepared in Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 and the membrane solutions containing sulfur-coordinated Cu single-atom materials, wherein: Figure 15 This is the UV blocking performance diagram. Figure 16 is the water vapor transmission rate diagram, Figure 17 is the scavenging rate graph of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, Figure 18 The figure shows the scavenging rate of 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid). It can be seen that the film made of sulfur-coordinated Cu single-atom material has better ultraviolet and water vapor barrier properties, and can better prevent water loss and the influence of ultraviolet rays. In addition, the film made of sulfur-coordinated Cu single-atom material has stronger free radical scavenging ability, indicating that it has stronger antioxidant performance.
[0100] Figure 19 The pH-responsive release performance of a film made from a membrane solution containing a sulfur-coordinated Cu single-atom material prepared in Example 1 shows significant differences in the amount of lipoic acid released by the film under different pH conditions. As the pH decreases, the release rate of lipoic acid increases significantly. This indicates that slightly acidic conditions significantly promote the release of lipoic acid, demonstrating that films made from sulfur-coordinated Cu single-atom materials have excellent pH-responsive performance.
[0101] Figure 20-23The membrane solution prepared in Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 and the membrane solution containing sulfur-coordinated Cu single-atom material are used for post-harvest preservation of strawberries, wherein: Figure 20 For the purpose of maintaining strawberry brightness after harvest ( L* ), Figure 21 This is the effect of strawberry hardness when applied to post-harvest strawberry preservation. Figure 22 This is a graph showing the effect of post-harvest preservation on the total soluble solids in strawberries. Figure 23 This figure shows the effect of the sulfur-coordinated Cu single-atom material on the total number of microorganisms in strawberries during post-harvest preservation. It can be seen that the sulfur-coordinated Cu single-atom material can significantly reduce the darkening of the color of strawberries during storage, inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, the decrease in hardness and the increase in total soluble solids, thereby effectively inhibiting the rotting and deterioration of strawberries.
