The electrolytic water method is an outstanding hydrogen production process because of its high stability and no restriction. A low-priced and efficient catalyst for electro-deposition of Ni–Co microspheres and nanoclusters on carbon steel (Ni–Co/CS) has been prepared by the dynamic hydrogen bubble template. In the 6 M KOH solution, Ni–Co/CS only requires an overpotential of 48 mV to provide a current density of 50 mA cm−2. At the same time, it also has a large electrochemically active specific surface area (ECSA) and a hydrophilic surface. In addition, the study about the influence of carbon steel (CS) on Ni–Co coatings and the comparison experiment for different base materials has been completed. The results prove that CS is an excellent base material for hydrogen production. It can help the Ni–Co catalyst to have a stable electrolysis in 6 M KOH for 500 h. The above properties of Ni–Co/CS catalyst make it a new choice of hydrogen production by electrolysis of water in practical applications.
(S)-N-Boc-3-hydroxypiperidine is an important intermediate of the anticancer drug ibrutinib and is mainly synthesized by the asymmetric reduction catalyzed by ketoreductase coupled with glucose dehydrogenase at present. In this study, the coexpression recombinant strainsE. coli/pET28-K-rbs-G with single promoter andE. coli/pETDuet-K-G with double promoters were first constructed for the coexpression of ketoreductase and glucose dehydrogenase in the same cell. Then, the catalytic efficiency ofE. coli/pET28-K-rbs-G for synthesizing (S)-N-Boc-3-hydroxypiperidine was found to be higher than that ofE. coli/pETDuet-K-G due to the more balanced activity ratio and higher catalytic activity. On this basis, the catalytic conditions ofE. coli/pET28-K-rbs-G were further optimized, and finally both the conversion of the reaction and the optical purity of the product were higher than 99%. In the end, the cell-free extract was proved to be a better catalyst than the whole cell with the improved catalytic efficiency of different recombinant strains. This study developed a better coexpression strategy for ketoreductase and glucose dehydrogenase by investigating the effect of activity ratios and forms of the biocatalysts on the catalytic efficiency deeply, which provided a research basis for the efficient synthesis of chiral compounds.Keywords:(S)-N-Boc-3-hydroxypiperidine;coexpression strategy;activity ratio;ketoreductase;glucose dehydrogenase
