The selectivity of methanol conversion to aromatics on Zn/ZSM-5 is often limited, mainly because the hydrogen removed during the process combines with low-carbon olefin intermediates to regenerate alkanes and reduce the effective utilization of carbon atoms. Herein, CO 2 is added to the methanol aromatization reaction as a receptor that consumes hydrogen in situ, which reduces the hydrogen transfer reaction and improves the selectivity of aromatics. It is proposed that aromatic selectivity under CO 2 atmosphere is determined by the chemical state of Zn species. Specifically, ZnO converts CO 2 and consumes hydrogen, and ZnOH + promotes methanol aromatization. Under the same conditions, aromatic selectivity of 3ZnZ18-IM under CO 2 atmosphere can reach 85.2 %, which is much higher than that of 71.4 % under N 2 atmosphere. This study provides a new strategy for methanol to aromatics (MTA) reaction, which has a positive impact on solving the energy and environmental problems in the production of aromatics.

In the research of directly synthesizing H-form ZSM-5, ammonium hydroxide is commonly used as an alkali source instead of NaOH to avoid multiple ion exchange steps. However, the volatile nature and the lack of structure-directing effect of ammonium hydroxide limit its application in practical. In this study, n -butylamine (NBA) was used as the main alkali source to directly prepare HZSM-5 zeolites with SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratios ranging from 40 to 300 under traditional hydrothermal conditions. The influence of the amount of NBA, ethanol, seed, and pre-crystallization on the synthesis products was investigated under the condition of SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 = 80. Theoretical simulation suggested that n -butylamine cations (NBA + ) play the most potent directing role in the formation of the MFI structure but could lead to difficulties in removal during calcination. The addition of ethanol as the zeolite growth modifier (ZGM) could decrease the usage of NBA and reduce the difficulties in calcination, and the addition of seed provided the conditions for initiating crystallization in the system that could not spontaneously nucleate. HZSM-5 with different SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratios were prepared under the optimal crystallization conditions, and the as-synthesized samples exhibited superior textural and acid properties compared to commercial zeolite. Finally, the 1 L scale-up synthesis and MTP reaction were conducted to demonstrate the practicality of this economically and environmentally-friendly synthesis strategy.

The efficient transformation of biomass resources to biofuels has attracted much attention. Herein, ordered mesoporous alumina supported nickel-molybdenum sulfide catalysts (denoted as Ni-MoS 2 /mAl 2 O 3 ) were prepared by evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) method and used for the hydrogenolysis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF). Under mild conditions (130 °C, 1 MPa H 2 ), the 5Ni-7MoS 2 /mAl 2 O 3 catalyst achieved 95 % yield of DMF. The results of characterizations and DFT calculation showed that the active center was proposed to the coordinated unsaturated site (CUS) located at S-edge. And the intrinsic activity of CUS was directly related to the proportion of Mo substituted by Ni. The 5Ni-7MoS 2 /mAl 2 O 3 catalyst containing CUS with high proportions of Ni replacing Mo showed higher TOF and lower apparent activated energy. Besides, 2-propanol can cooperate with molecular hydrogen to improve DMF yield by forming ethers that were easier to be hydrogenolyzed. The present findings provided a new catalytic system for converting HMF to DMF.

Direct conversion of fructose-based carbohydrates to 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) catalyzed by Lewis acid in ethanol was investigated. It was found that BF 3 ·(Et) 2 O was favorable for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) etherification to EMF. BF 3 ·(Et) 2 O combination with AlCl 3 ·6H 2 O with the molar ratio of 1 was an effective catalyst system for synthesis of EMF from fructose-based carbohydrates. 55.0%, 45.4% and 23.9% of EMF yields were obtained from fructose, inulin and sucrose under optimized conditions, respectively.

Conversion of glucose to 5-hydromethyl furfural (HMF) and levulinic acid (LA) was systematically investigated in LiCl·3H 2 O without additional catalyst. Based on the experimental investigations by using glucose, fructose and HMF as the reaction substrate separately, corresponding reaction kinetics in LiCl·3H 2 O were modelled by first-order assumption. Kinetic analysis demonstrates that high temperature favors the formation of LA, while low temperature facilitates to selectively form humins. To achieve high LA yield, at least a temperature of 140 °C is required. Without additional catalyst converting glucose to LA in LiCl·3H 2 O, humins was predominantly derived from glucose and HMF, and glucose isomerization is the reaction rate-determining step. The activation energies of the main reactions are 160.96 kJ/mol (glucose to HMF), 139.20 kJ/mol (fructose to HMF), and 71.81–76.48 kJ/mol (HMF to LA) respectively. The activation energies for humins formation were 23.45 kJ/mol from glucose, 49.54 kJ/mol from fructose, and 42.15–65.85 kJ/mol from HMF, respectively. It is verified that LiCl·3H 2 O, as compared to aqueous medium, is an excellent reaction medium for converting glucose to LA as it can provide the active centers for fructose to HMF reaction and HMF to LA reaction, but lack of highly efficient Lewis acid for glucose isomerization. With the addition of Lewis acid (such as AlCl 3 and FeCl 3 ), as high as 83.4% of LA yield can be obtained respectively when directly converting glucose, with the total selectivities of LA and HMF of 95%.

Microwave-assisted pyrolysis of waste cooking oil is an environmentally friendly and economical method for obtaining benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) which are important industrial chemicals. This study provides new routes to produce of BTEX and the utilization of waste cooking oil. The effect of catalytic temperatures (350 °C, 400 °C, 450 °C, 500 °C, and 550 °C), types of metal oxide (CoO, NiO, ZrO 2 , SrO, CeO 2 , and CaO), catalytic modes (ex-situ mixed catalysis, ex-situ separate catalysis, and in-situ separate catalysis), and ratio of HZSM-5 to metal oxide (HZSM-5 only, 4:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, and CaO only) were studied. Results showed high catalytic temperature promoted the formation of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons at the cost of a decrease in bio-oil yield. But the concentration of BTEXS (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, and styrene) only increased from 256.58 mg/ml to 259.55 mg/ml with a temperature increase from 500 °C to 550 °C. Alkaline earth metal oxides (CaO, SrO) showed a significant deoxygenation capability during co-catalysis with HZSM-5. However, when CaO was applied under ex-situ mixed catalysis, the concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons was up to 35.47%, which was much higher than 9.18% under HZSM-5 only. Also, the concentration of BTEXS decreased from 256.58 mg/ml (HZSM-5 only) to 167.54 mg/ml (HZSM-5 mixed with CaO). Further investigation of catalytic mode showed that ex-situ separate catalysis was more suitable for co-catalysis of alkaline earth metal oxides and HZSM-5. The concentration of BTEXS were both significantly higher than that of HZSM-5 only, which increased by 121.81 mg/ml for CaO and 108.52 mg/ml for SrO under ex-situ separate catalysis. Further study showed that the highest concentration of BTEXS was 702.20 mg/ml obtained when the ratio of HZSM-5 to CaO was 2:1. It was almost 2.8 times higher than HZSM-5 alone and 42.2 times higher than non-catalytic results.

Molten carbonate pyrolysis is proposed to convert digestate (DE) into biobased monophenols coupled with a metal-modified HZSM-5 catalyst. The results indicated that Fe/HZSM-5 was the most suitable catalyst for this process. The optimum reaction conditions for the process were WHSV = 15 h −1 at a pyrolysis temperature of 430 °C and a catalytic cracking temperature of 475 °C, and 79.22 % of monophenol components were achieved in the bio-oil. A kinetic study on the digestate with carbonates indicated that the alkali metal ion in the molten carbonates attached to the β-O-4 bonds and branch methoxy group of lignin, which promoted the removal of these functional groups, resulting in a reduction in the activation energy during monophenol generation. The Fe/HZSM-5 catalyst reinforced the generation of monophenol compounds in both concentration and yield. Compared with molten carbonate pyrolysis, the Fe on the catalyst not only benefited the breaking of β-O-4 bonds and methoxy groups of lignin but also lowered the temperature during molten carbonate pyrolysis to minimize the secondary cracking of phenolic compounds.

Sulphamethoxazole (SMX) is extensively used in humans and livestock, but its appearance in natural water raises environmental concerns. This study demonstrated that SMX and its degradation product , 3-amino-5-methylisoxazole (3A5MI), could be effectively degraded in microbial fuel cell (MFC) reactors. Approximately 85% of 20 ppm SMX was degraded within 12 h, and this was a more rapid biodegradation rate than has been previously shown in the literature. In addition, 3A5MI, a toxic chemical that forms in the SMX degradation process, can be further mineralized. The degradation products of SMX were detected by mass spectrometry, and three speculated by-products were confirmed with chemical standards. It was observed that nitrogen atoms of SMX were progressively eliminated during the degradation process, which may relate with the degradation of SMX and 3A5MI. An antibacterial activity test showed that the biotoxicity of SMX towards Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 and Escherichia coli DH5α was greatly reduced after MFC treatment. Moreover, the ATP level of the MFC microbe was nearly threefold higher than that in open-circuit controls, which may be related to the rapid degradation of SMX in MFCs. This study can facilitate further investigations about the biodegradation of SMX.

Ga-ZSM-5 zeolite has excellent performance for methanol to aromatics (MTA) reactions, but introducing Ga metal into ZSM-5 zeolite leads to a complex acid species. The present study investigated the effect of Ga metal content on the acid amount and MTA reaction products in the hydrothermal synthesis of Ga-ZSM-5 zeolite. Lewis acid mainly formed at a Ga/Al ratio below 2.0, and at a Ga/Al ratio higher than 2.0, framework Ga species formed, increasing Brønsted acid content. Ga 2.0 -ZSM-5 zeolite exhibited the lowest B/L acid ratio (0.48), excellent BTX selectivity (40.26%), and the highest H 2 selectivity (8.93%). This finding indicates the most pronounced synergistic hydrogenation of Brønsted and Lewis acids. Ga 3.0 -ZSM-5 produced more xylene with more Brønsted acid compared to Ga 1.0 -ZSM-5, although they both had the same B/L acid ratio. The alterations in acidic species at different content of Ga metal appear to be conducive to the regulation of acidity in Ga-ZSM-5 zeolites.

Background 2′-Fucosyllactose (2′-FL) is one of the major oligosaccharides found in human breast milk, with several recognized beneficial effects on the host. Extensive research has indicated positive effects of 2′-FL on cognitive development in the brain, yet its molecular mechanisms have remained elusive. This study aimed to assess the impact of 2′-FL on the gut-brain axis microbiota and cognitive function in growing mice, along with its potential mechanisms of action.
Results Following long-term supplementation for 4 weeks, 2′-FL was found to enhance cognitive memory function in growing mice (3 weeks old) as assessed through Y-maze, novel object recognition, and water maze tests. Analysis via 16S rRNA sequencing revealed significant alterations in gut microbiota diversity and composition induced by 2′-FL, notably increasing the relative abundance of Bacteroides and Lactobacillus genera. Additionally, 2′-FL significantly elevated levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) in the hippocampal tissue. However, antibiotic intervention abolished the cognitive advantage conferred by 2′-FL, highlighting the critical role of gut microbiota in mediating its effects. Similarly, short-term supplementation with 2′-FL for 7 days indicated rapid changes in gut microbiota composition preceding cognitive improvements, further suggesting a potential causal relationship between gut microbiota characteristics and cognition. Further, in vitro experiments with mouse feces suggested that 2′-FL may influence tryptophan hydroxylase levels in the gut microbiota and inhibit the activity of 5-hydroxytryptophan decarboxylase, potentially leading to increased accumulation of 5-HTP. Additionally, 2′-FL may indirectly impact tryptophan hydroxylase levels in enterochromaffin cells by promoting short-chain fatty acid production, which could support 5-HTP synthesis. Elevated 5-HTP produced by the gut system enters the bloodstream, crosses the blood–brain barrier, and may potentially enhance brain 5-HT levels.
Conclusion This study offers preliminary evidence that the cognitive-promoting effects of 2′-FL in mice may be closely associated with gut microbiota and 5-HT. The findings suggest that 2′-FL contribute to cognitive development in growing mice, potentially by modulating gut microbiota and enhancing 5-HT levels in the brain.

pH-sensitive carriers have emerged as an optimal choice for the oral administration of anticancer drugs, exhibiting the desired release performance. This study aims to develop biocomposite beads for the sustained release of the anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Here, 5-FU was encapsulated within a ZIF-8 metal-organic framework (MOF), which was subsequently impregnated into amino-chitosan beads. The resulting Am-CS@ZIF-8 biocomposite beads were characterized for their chemical structure, surface morphology, elemental composition, crystallinity, surface charges, and mechanical properties utilizing Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), zeta potential analysis, and a texture analyzer, respectively. The developed beads exhibited a textured surface, denser composition, and a positively charged surface with a maximum zeta potential of +12.4 at pH 7.4. In comparison to Am-CS beads, the Am-CS@ZIF-8 biocomposite beads demonstrated superior mechanical properties, achieving a maximum stress value of 5.668 MPa compared to the 1.874 MPa recorded for pure Am-CS beads. pH sensitivity was assessed through the investigation of water uptake behavior at pH 1.2 and pH 7.4. The Am-CS@ZIF-8 biocomposite beads demonstrated a high encapsulation efficiency of approximately 81.6 % for 5-FU. They exhibited pH-responsive release behavior, with only 17 % of the drug released at pH 1.2 after 2 h and a sustained release of 52 % at pH 7.4 over 24 h. The release mechanism was predominantly governed by Fickian diffusion, as closely fitted by the Peppas-Sahlin kinetic model. The formulated carrier confirmed its biodegradability under enzymatic physiological conditions, suggesting its potential applicability as an effective system for the oral delivery of anticancer drugs.

Under the dual pressures of oil depletion and low-carbon transition, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) technology offers a viable option for producing high value-added lower (C 2 -C 4 ) hydrocarbons from non-oil sources. However, conventional Fe-based catalysts often suffer from deactivation due to carbon deposition and sintering. Here, we report a unique Fe-ZSM-5 catalyst synthesized by doping Fe into ZSM-5, which demonstrates excellent FTS catalytic performance. During high-temperature template removal, Fe species migrated from the zeolite framework to form highly dispersed FeO x clusters (∼2 nm). Upon treatment by syngas, these FeO x clusters aggregate to form uniformly small-sized Fe 5 C 2 @C core-shell particles distributed on ZSM-5 support. The confinement effect of the inter-crystalline structure effectively prevents the sintering of Fe 5 C 2 . The smaller Fe 5 C 2 particles exhibit controlled CO dissociation, reducing the concentration of activated carbon species (C*), and the carbon shells (∼6.5 nm) limit the departure of C*, effectively suppressing carbon deposition. This unique structure enables stable catalytic activity for over 100 hours with maintained product selectivity. The Fe-ZSM-5 catalyst achieved a C 2 -C 4 hydrocarbons selectivity of 54.52 %, nearing the 56 % theoretical limit of the Anderson-Schulz-Flory (ASF) distribution. Additionally, the hydrophobic carbon shell prevents excessive oxidation of Fe 5 C 2 , reducing CO 2 selectivity by ∼56 % compared to conventional Fe/ZSM-5 catalysts, significantly enhancing atomic utilization efficiency and aligning with the principles of green development.
