This pioneering study investigated the effects of sip volume on sensory perception and drinking comfort during the consumption of Jiangxiangxing Baijiu (JB). Six sip volumes (6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 20 mL) were tested with 30 participants (15 males and 15 females). Results revealed gender-specific preferences: females tended to prefer sip volumes of 9–12 mL, while males were more likely to favor 18 mL. Using Temporal Dominance of Sensation (TDS) and Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) methods, it was found that oral sensations of sweetness and sauce flavor, as well as post-pharyngeal sensations of “smoothness,” “mellowness,” and “lingering aftertaste,” enhanced drinking comfort. In contrast, oral sensations of spiciness and bitterness, along with post-pharyngeal sensations of “pungency,” “thinness,” “blandness,” and “momentary aftertaste,” impaired comfort. Notably, females may place greater emphasis on oral perception, whereas males could focus more on post-pharyngeal sensations. A novel flavor analysis identified 20 key compounds that influence JB perception. The insights from this research provide valuable contributions to improving the drinking experience of JB.

Developing an efficient and stable catalyst for the aqueous hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin derivatives at ambient temperature is highly desirable. Here, a novel Pd/PHS catalyst with the hierarchical structure was facilely constructed. Taking HDO of vanillin (VAN, a typical molecule of lignin derivatives) to 2-methoxy-4-methyl phenol (MMP) as a model reaction, >99% VAN conversion and 98.2% MMP yield can be achieved over Pd/PHS at ambient temperature in a water solvent, outperforming the recent works reported in the literature. We found that the hierarchal zeolitic structure could immobilize acidic P species in Pd/PHS via trapping and hydrogen-bonding, and these P species could greatly accelerate the conversion of reaction intermediate, enhancing the yield of MMP product. Pd/PHS also showed excellent activities in HDO of other lignin derivatives. We think this work will provide a new route to guide the design of stable catalyst for the efficient aqueous HDO of lignin derivatives to high value-added chemicals and biofuels at ambient temperature.

Efficient production of high value-added chemicals and biofuels via low-temperature chemoselective HDO of lignin derivatives in water is still a challenge. Here, we construct a low-cost, active and stable Pd/PCE catalyst using phosphoric acid-modified commercial Celite (PCE) as the support, and this catalyst exhibits excellent activity in low-temperature HDO of vanillin as well as other lignin derivatives in water. The superior catalytic performance is due to the presence of P species on the surface of Pd/PCE, accelerating the selective conversion of the intermediate into the final product. Detailed experimental and mechanistic studies reveal that the rapid conversion of the intermediate to the final product proceeds via a free-radical process in an interfacial microenvironment created by intimate interacting between the P species and Pd NPs. The insights of this work provide a new low-cost catalytic system for efficient production of valuable chemicals and future biofuels from lignin derivatives.

Knoevenagel condensation reaction is important for generating C C double bonds and providing various valuable intermediates in organic chemistry, which always need harsh conditions including high reaction temperature, difficult catalyst recovery, difficult product separation, etc. In this work, a novel class of dual-responsive emulsion reactor was prepared for the Knoevenagel condensation reaction between malononitrile and aromatic aldehyde, where the temperature and CO 2 -responsive ionic liquids (ILs) were used as an emulsifier, responder, and catalyst simultaneously. Driven by temperature or CO 2 , the emulsion reactor undergoes reversible and controllable transformations between emulsification and demulsification, where efficient catalytic reactions, product separation, and reactor recovery are all achieved. The isolated product yield of 2-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-malononitrile remained above 90% after 5 cycles of the emulsion reactor. NMR and molecular dynamics simulations showed that the temperature drives the reversible stretching and curling of the polyether chain on the cation, while CO 2 reacts with the –COO - group on the anion to form carbonates and carboxylic acids in water, leading to changes in the surface activity of ILs, thereby reversibly regulating the demulsification and emulsification of the emulsion. Hence, through the dual stimuli-responsive ILs, the efficient reaction can be performed in the homogeneous phase, and the products and catalysts can be easily separated in the heterogeneous phase. These results on the revisable microreactor can not only help to design the smart and efficient “homogeneous reaction-heterogeneous separation” systems but also support the development of green sustainable chemistry.

Selective and efficient low-temperature hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin derivatives in water for the production of valuable biofuel and chemicals is still challenging. Herein, we reported biomass carbon-supported ultrafine Pd nanoparticles as highly active and stable catalysts for low-temperature HDO of vanillin (a typical lignin-derived compound) to 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol (MMP). We found that the abundant carboxyl groups on the resultant catalyst greatly accelerated the conversion of the generated intermediate (vanillyl alcohol, VAL), and then, the synergistic catalysis between carboxyl groups and Pd nanoparticles promoted the efficient production MMP through a free-radical pathway. Other lignin derivatives with different functional groups were also efficiently converted to the corresponding products over the prepared catalyst. This work may provide a new idea for designing a biomass-derived catalyst for efficient transformation of various lignin derivatives to produce value-added biofuels and chemicals.

Fluorophores with aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) properties have attracted increasing interest in recent years. On the basis of our previous research, we successfully designed and synthesized eleven chalcones. Through an optical performance experiment, we confirmed that compounds1–6had obvious AIEE properties. As these AIEE molecules had excellent fluorescence properties and a large Stokes shift, we studied their application in living cell imaging, and the results showed that these compounds had low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility at the experimental concentrations. More importantly, they could specifically label mitochondria. Subsequently, we selected zebrafish as experimental animals to explore the possibilities of these compounds in animal imaging. The fluorescence imaging of zebrafish showed that these AIEE molecules can enter the embryo and can be targeted to aggregate in the digestive tract, which provides a strong foundation for their practical application in the field of biological imaging. Compared with traditional fluorophores, these AIEE molecules have the advantages of possessing a small molecular weight and high flexibility. Therefore, they have excellent application prospects in the field of biological imaging. In addition, the findings of this study have very positive practical significance for the discovery of more AIEE molecules.Keywords:AIEE;chalcone;mitochondria;zebrafish

Three triphenylamine (TPA) substituted dichromophoric zinc porphyrins XZP1–3 and a single zinc porphyrin ZP1 have been rationally designed to construct dye-sensitized TiO 2 nanoparticles to explore the feasibility of dichromophoric dye design for photocatalysis. TPA, N,N -diphenyl-(1,1′-biphenyl)− 4-amine and a carbazole-diphenylaniline derivative are attached to the meso -position of porphyrin core as the second chromophore. The electronic structure of the porphyrins is studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and the dye-sensitized composites are investigated using couples of spectral and electrochemical techniques . XZP2/TiO 2 exhibits the smallest charge transfer resistance and the longest electron lifetime among the investigated composites. The same catalyst performs the highest efficiency in photodegradation of both acid black (AB1) and tetracycline (TC) polluted water samples. Electronic paramagnetic resonance and radical quenching experiments reveal that the priority reactive species are superoxide radicals (•O 2 − ) and holes (h + ), suggesting the efficient charge separation at the porphyrin-sensitized TiO 2 interface. This work demonstrates the facilitated interfacial charge separation using dichromophoric dye-sensitized semiconductor particles for photodegradation and, the insights should aid in dyad design for photocatalysis application.

Catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) is one of the most promising strategies to transform oxygen-rich biomass derivatives into high value-added chemicals and fuels, but highly challenging due to the lack of highly efficient nonprecious metal catalysts. Herein, we report for the first time of a facile synthetic approach to controllably fabricate well-defined Ni-Co alloy NPs confined on the tip of N-CNTs as HDO catalyst. The resultant Ni-Co alloy catalyst possesses outstanding HDO performance towards biomass-derived vanillin into 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol in water with 100% conversion efficiency and selectivity under mild reaction conditions, surpassing the reported high performance nonprecious HDO catalysts. Impressively, our experimental results also unveil that the Ni-Co alloy catalyst can be generically applied to catalyze HDO of vanillin derivatives and other aromatic aldehydes in water with 100% conversion efficiency and over 90% selectivity. Importantly, our DFT calculations and experimental results confirm that the achieved outstanding HDO catalytic performance is due to the greatly promoted selective adsorption and activation of C=O, and desorption of the activated hydrogen species by the synergism of the alloyed Ni-Co NPs . The findings of this work affords a new strategy to design and develop efficient transition metal-based catalysts for HDO reactions in water.

In this paper, three kinds of triphenyl imidazole-containing diamines including 2-phenyl-4,5-bis(4-(4-amino-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenyl)imidazole (PBAI), 2-(4-methylphenyl)-4,5-bis(4-(4-amino-2-trifluoromethyl phenoxy)phenyl)imidazole (MPBAI) and 2-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-4,5-bis(4-(4-amino-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenyl)imidazole (TFPBAI) were synthesized. Then, a series of polyimide (PI) films were prepared by the solution polymerization of the three diamines and various dianhydrides, such as 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA), 1,2,4,5-pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and 1,2,3,4-cyclobutanetetracarboxylic dianhydride (CBDA), followed by thermal imidization. The effects of chemical structures on the solubilities and thermal, optical and electrochemical properties of polyimides were explored. All the polyimides exhibited higher glass transition temperatures around 300 °C and excellent solubilities in common polar solvents. The polyimide films derived from CBDA or 6FDA showed better optical properties with light color and transparent characteristics. The fluorescence test showed that the photoluminescence color of CBDA-based polyimide films is in the blue range in the CIE 1931 spectrum, while the polyimide film based on PMDA and 6FDA presented black or weak yellow light. However, all these polyimides in solution exhibited similar blue luminescence. Electrochemical tests indicated that the HOMO and LUMO values of these films were around −6.5 and −3.6 eV, and the energy gap difference was about 3.0 eV. Therefore, the triphenyl imidazole-containing polyimides exhibit comprehensive performance, which will be expected as a new kind of functional material for certain application in the optical and optoelectronics fields.

The present work proposes a novel strategy to prepare reversibly interlocked networks with enhanced mechanical properties through hierarchy-induced multilevel energy consumption mechanisms. The core issue lies in the introduction of in situ inter-macromolecular ionic interactions among the component networks regardless of their miscibility, which is hard to be implemented in other materials. Traditional small-molecule contra-ions are no longer necessary accordingly. As revealed by the proof-of-concept transparent interlocked networks composed of immiscible cross-linked styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR) and polyethylenimine (PEI), the interlocking architecture and the inter-macromolecular ionic interactions are mutually promoted. The latter pulls the immiscible polymer chains together, favoring the formation of the former, while the former prevents the neighboring chains from separation and helps the complexation among the counterpart functional groups. Eventually, multilevel energy consumption mechanisms can be triggered under the applied force and the conventionally conflicting properties including strength, toughness, and creep resistance of the interlocked networks are remarkably increased at the same time. Moreover, the moisture sensitivity that used to accompany ionic interactions disappears, which broadens the application scope of the materials in practice. Owing to the included reversible Diels–Alder bonds and Schiff base, the SBR and PEI-based interlocked networks are self-healable and reprocessable and can even be unlocked producing the original single networks. It is anticipated that a versatile and facile platform technique may thus be developed for creating new polymeric materials with advanced multifunctionality.

Charge states at the catalytic interface can intensely alter the charge transfer mechanism and thus the oxygen reduction performance. Two symmetric cobalt porphyrins with electron deficient 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BTD) and electron-donating propeller-like triphenylamine (TPA) derivatives have been designed firstly, to rationally generate intramolecular partial charges, and secondly, to utilize the more exposed molecular orbitals on TPA for enhancing the charge transfer kinetics. The catalytic performance of the two electrocatalysts was examined for oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) in acidic electrolyte. It was found that BCP1/C with two BTD groups showed greater reduction potential but less limiting current density as compared to BCP2/C bearing BTD-TPA units. The reduced potential of BCP2/C was proposed to the introduction of the electron-donating ability of TPA, which may decrease the adsorption affinity of oxygen to the cobalt center. Both dipole-induced partial charge effect and the more exposed cation orbitals of the 3D structural TPA were proposed to contribute to the increased response current of BCP2/C . In addition, BCP2/C attained more than 80% of H 2 O 2 generation in acidic solution, which may also relate to the structural effect. These findings may provide new insight into the structural design of organic electrocatalysts and deep understanding on the interfacial charge transfer mechanism for ORR.

Triphenylamine (TPA) has often been used as a building block to construct functional organic materials yet is rarely employed in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) due to its strong electron-donating ability. This versatile segment bears a three-dimensional spatial structure whose effect has not been fully explored in catalytic systems. To this end, five symmetric cobalt porphyrins with carbazole and TPA derivatives have been synthesized and their ORR performance has been evaluated in acid medium. It was found that all compounds produced mainly hydrogen peroxide in oxygen reduction, with CP1 attaching benzyl derivatives and XCP4 possessing TPA-carbazole substituents at the meso-position of porphyrin, showing similar but more positive ORR potential as compared to the other analogues. Importantly, XCP4 achieved the greatest response current and the largest electron transfer numbers and H2O2 yields among the investigated molecules. Detailed electrochemical measurements suggested that the dipole-induced partial charges on the porphyrin in tandem with the more exposed molecular orbitals on TPA contributed to this enhancement, with the former attracting more protons to the affinity of reactive sites and the latter increasing the collision frequency between the electrocatalyst and H+ in solution. This is the first attempt to integrate the intermolecular forces with more exposed molecular orbitals in altering the electrochemical process.
