BACKGROUND In this study, the effects of biofilm coatings obtained by immobilization of different borates – namely borax (BX), colemanite (COL), and ulexite (UX) – with chitosan (Ch) on the shelf life of rainbow trout fillets were investigated. The immobilization and characterization of borates in Ch were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and zeta potential analysis. In determining the shelf life of fillets that were covered by immersion and stored for 15 days, microbiological (total aerobic mesophilic, psychrotrophic, lactic acid, Pseudomonas, and Enterobacteriaceae bacteria counts) and chemical analyses (total volatile basic nitrogen, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance, and pH levels) were performed at 3 day periodic intervals. In addition, the biodegradation of borates was determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in biofilm‐coated fillets on the 1st, 8th, and 15th storage days. RESULTS The microbial results of the coatings enriched with borates (BX, COL, and UX) at different levels (0, 0.03, and 0.06 mg L−1) (due to the immobilization with Ch) show the shelf life was extended by 3–6 days in all of the treatment groups compared with the control. CONCLUSION It was concluded that BX, COL, and UX coatings enriched by immobilization with Ch increase shelf life and improve fillet quality. In addition, the enrichment of BX, COL, and UX with Ch showed explicit natural protective effects. This study demonstrates that Ch‐enriched coatings of BX, COL, and UX can be used as natural bioactive nanocarriers to provide bioactive food ingredients in the seafood processing industry. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

The ever-increasing energy consumption has been projected to burden renewable energy sources. It is imperative to look for high-performance clean energy storage systems to sustain future energy demands. Among all the environmentally friendly and efficient energy storage options, supercapacitors are one of the most researched devices. Supercapacitors possess excellent electrochemical properties such as high-power density, superior cyclic stability, fast charging-discharging rates, and high specific capacitance that makes them a fascinating candidate. To improve the energy storage capacity, the two-dimensional counterpart of the supercapacitors is being investigated extensively and manifested unique electrochemical properties. This article thoroughly summarizes the synthesis and characterization techniques adopted for the most recent two-dimensional supercapacitor electrode materials. We focus on the family of carbon-based materials, transition metal oxides and hydroxides, MXenes, and transition metal dichalcogenides that can be employed for clean energy storage applications. The performance of these materials is discussed and compared based on their synthesis technique.

Nanoindentation and photoluminescence (PL) studies were performed on hydrogenated boron carbon nitride thin films deposited using radio frequency magnetron sputtering. Dual target sputtering from B4C and BN targets was used to deposit films. The variation in the composition of films was studied using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The influence of hydrogen gas and substrate temperature on the mechanical properties was investigated using nanoindentation measurements. Photoluminescence studies were performed on films deposited under varying hydrogen content and different deposition temperatures. The films deposited in this study exhibited hardness of 6–22 GPa and Young’s modulus of 125–140 GPa. PL spectra demonstrated two prominent emission peaks around 499 nm and 602 nm for the deposited films. Increasing the hydrogen gas ratio in the films induced PL peak shifts to longer wavelengths. Emission spectra shifted to long wavelength with increasing substrate temperature. The emission peak position shifted from 499 nm to 544 nm and from 602 nm to 655 nm as a function of substrate temperature. For the first time, BCNH based thin films PL behavior at low temperature (77 K) has been characterized in this study. The BCNH thin films show a rare phenomenon of negative thermal quenching of emission.
