This study investigated the interactions between volatile and char during biomass pyrolysis at 400 °C, employing a β–5 lignin dimer and amino-modified graphitized carbon nanotube (CNT–NH 2 ) as their models, respectively. The results demonstrated that both –NH 2 and its carrier (CNT) facilitated the conversion of the β–5 dimer, which significantly increased from 9.7% (blank run), to 61.6% (with CNT), and to 96.6% (with CNT–NH 2 ). CNT mainly favored the breakage of C–O bond in the feedstock to produce dimers with a yield of 55.5%, while CNT–NH 2 promoted the cleavage of both C–O and C–C bonds to yield monomers with a yield up to 63.4%. Such significant changes in the pyrolysis behaviors of the β–5 lignin dimer after the introduction of CNT–NH 2 were considered to be mainly caused by hydrogen-bond formations between –NH 2 and the dimeric feedstock/products, in addition to the π–π stacking between CNT and aromatic rings.

As the frequency range of electronic devices gradually expands, exploring frequency insensitive electromagnetic wave adsorption (EWA) materials that can achieve effective absorption in all bands has aroused great interest. A series of Fe 1 − x S@C composite materials with three-dimensional conductive networks were successfully prepared in this work. In the preparation process, poly (aryl ether sulfone) with branched carboxylic (PAES-C) was selected as the skeleton and Fe 3+ ions were introduced via chemical adsorption. The main purpose of this work was to develop array porous composite materials with good EWA property. The work proposed a novel controllable method for preparing metal sulfides to explore the electromagnetic wave absorption. This routine was also developed to prepare other M x S@C composites (M = Fe, Cu, Mn). Compared to Mn x S@C and Cu x S@C composites, the RL min value of Fe 1 − x S@C-4 was − 40.6 dB at 13.52 GHz, and at a thickness of 1.5 mm the effective bandwidth reached 3.12 GHz. Furthermore, its effective absorption band covered Ku, X, and C radar bands at different thicknesses.

Protein C-termini containing valuable biological information plays a vital role in various physiological processes , such as protein localization, protein recognition, and signal transduction in organisms. However, C-terminal peptide identification is still challenging due to their low abundance and similar physicochemical properties to other digested peptides. Herein, we developed a simple and mild strategy for the enrichment of C-terminal peptides that incorporates selectively 2-pyridinecarbaldehyde (2-PCA) derivatization of α-amine with negative enrichment by NHS resin. Two synthesized peptides were utilized to evaluate the efficiency of 2-PCA derivatization and optimize the coupling conditions of NHS resin. The feasibility of the method was further validated by enriching the C-terminus of the bovine serum albumin (BSA). Finally, this method was successfully applied to the C-terminus analysis of mouse brain tissue, identifying 404 protein C-termini with physicochemical properties unbiasedly. Additionally, the GO and KEGG analyses revealed that these identified proteins are crucial for proper brain function. In summary, our proposed method is effective and has the potential to facilitate comprehensive C-terminal analysis of proteins . Significance Effective enrichment methods are essential for the identification of the proteins C-terminus. In this study, a mild and simple method for negative C-terminal enrichment combined with site-specific derivatization was developed. The enrichment process was simplified and minimized sample loss simultaneously, using 2-PCA derivatization which has high α-amino specificity. Up to 346C-terminal proteins were identified in mouse brain tissue unbiasedly and reliably. This approach has the potential to facilitate comprehensive analysis of protein C-termini in a variety of biological contexts.

The complex reaction interface and the high reaction barrier for C─C coupling hinder the conversion of CO 2 toward high-value C 2+ products. In this work, thiol is employed to modify facet-controlled Cu nanoparticles, systematically elucidating the tripartite interaction between organic modifiers, active sites, and key intermediates. Theoretical calculations, Kelvin Probe Force Microscope (KPFM), and in situ investigations reveal that the thiol-derived spatial potential field facilitates CO 2 activation and the formation of hydrocarbon intermediates ( * COH). More importantly, the results demonstrate that the C 2+ products of the thiol-modified catalyst are strongly dependent on the crystal planes: the potential field preferentially drives suitable adsorbed * COH to asymmetric * CO- * COH coupling on Cu (100)/(111) interface. Consequently, the C 2+ selectivity of the thiol-modified Cu (100)/(111) interface-rich Cu nanoparticle is intrinsically enhanced, exhibiting high selectivity to C 2+ products with a faradaic efficiency (FE) of 85.44%. Remarkably, the structure achieves a C 2 H 4 FE of 73.79% ± 2.69% with a peak partial current density of 345.75 mA cm − 2 (total current: 1.38 A). Beyond establishing a high-efficiency CO 2 to C 2+ conversion protocol, this study provides mechanistic insights into the selective steering of C─C coupling through tailored surface modifications.

The efficient and selective conversion of biomass-derived vicinal diols into high-value-added chemicals represents a pivotal area of research that has garnered substantial interest within the scientific community. In this work, three ultralow loading Fe supports on N-doped carbon nanosphere catalysts (Fe@NC-T) were successfully prepared using the hard template method with acid etching. The selective conversion of vicinal diols into aldehydes, ketones, and amines over the Fe@NC-800 nanosphere catalyst was achieved through an anaerobic cleavage of C–C bonds and successfully utilized autologous hydrogen resources. The exceptional catalytic activity of the Fe@NC-800 nanosphere catalyst may be credited to the presence of highly dispersed Fe species at the active sites, which has been verified through several characterization techniques, control tests, and density functional theory calculations. In addition, the Fe@NC-800 nanosphere catalyst also demonstrated its wide applicability and excellent reusability under the operating conditions. We believe that this study presents an auspicious scheme for the highly selective conversion of vicinal diols into high value-added carbonyl compounds and amine products.

Promoting C─C bond cleavage of ethanol to achieve a complete 12-electron pathway (C1 pathway) for ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) is crucial for the development of highly efficient direct ethanol fuel cells. In this study, a highly porous ultrathin PdSn nanomesh (NM) with high proportion of low-coordinated edge and step sites is developed for alkaline EOR. The PdSn NM/C catalyst exhibited superior specific activity of 21.9 ± 0.9 mA cm −2 Pd with a significantly enhanced Faradaic efficiency of C1 pathway to CO 2 . In situ attenuated total reflection surface enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy measurements demonstrated the significant enhancement of C1 selectivity on PdSn NM/C. Theoretical calculations further revealed the pivotal role of low-coordinated edge and step sites in effectively lowering the activation energy barrier for C─C bond cleavage of CH 3 CO*. This work provides a strategy for the rational design of highly efficient EOR electrocatalysts through low-coordinated site engineering.

High-energy-density sustainable aviation fuels are recognized as effective means to mitigate carbon emissions in the aviation sector. Here, we report various metal-modified layered double hydroxides (LDHs). The screened MgAlSn-LDH catalyst incorporating abundant oxygen vacancies and strong base sites yields (E)-1-(furan-2-yl)-5-methylhex-1-en-3-one (ALD) over 96% at 120 °C for 4 h. The catalyst exhibits promising long-term stability in a fixed-bed reactor at 170 °C. A combination of investigations using in situ DRIFTS studies and DFT calculations reveals that MgAlSn-LDH enhances the adsorption of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) and furfural (FF). Further calculations have shown that the synergy of oxygen vacancies and strong base sites decreases the energy barrier of MIBK enolation, which increases the rate of the enolation reaction. This research provides a versatile synthesis method for improving the alkaline catalytic activity of LDH catalysts, and the performance of the catalysts can be extended to other upgrading processes of biomass chemicals.

With the increasing energy demands and impending climate change, significant concerns have been raised over the metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived porous carbons and their utilization for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and triiodide reduction reaction (IRR). However, the provision of high intrinsic activity, active-site accessibility, and structural stability of MOF-derived Co-embedded N-doped carbon (Co/N-C) for HER and IRR is challenging. In this work, core-shell MOF-in-MOF precursors are designed to construct novel double-shell N-C-in-Co/N-C electrocatalysts with nanorod- and rhombic dodecahedron-shaped hollow morphologies (NR-H-C and RD-H-C). The double-shell structured NR-H-C and RD-H-C significantly enhance the HER and IRR activity of Co-MOF-derived Co/N-C. Specifically, NR-H-C achieves a high N-content (10.35 at.%), large specific surface area (590.87 m 2 g −1 ), and hierarchical porous configuration (micropores and mesopores). When NR-H-C is applied as the HER catalyst in alkaline electrolyte, it exhibits an admired overpotential of 123 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and a Tafel slope of 51 mV dec −1 . The solar cell adopting NR-H-C as counter electrode for IRR achieves a high short circuit current density of 16.77 mA cm −2 , an open-circuit voltage of 0.745 V, a fill factor of 0.682, and a power conversion efficiency of 8.51%, higher than that of Pt-based solar cell (16.26 mA cm −2 , 0.744 V, 0.602, and 7.28%). The elucidatory Volmer-Heyrovsky HER mechanism and reversed Volmer-Heyrovsky IRR mechanism give a better understanding of the enhanced dual-functional activity of NR-H-C. This work provides an essential information for the rational design of high-performance dual-functional HER and IRR catalysts and further open up a new avenue for the construction of multicomponent MOFs in the energy conversion field.

A glycosyl transferase , isolated from Angelica decursiva a medical herb rich in coumarin , shows C-glycosyl transferase activity by in vitro activity assay using 5,7-dihydroxycoumarin as substrate, producing a C-glycosylated product at position C′8 along with the main product at C′6 position. Catalytic promiscuity assay shows that Ad CGT also displays O- or C-glycosylation activity to other coumarins and flavonoids . When phloretin and 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone were fed as substrates, Ad CGT catalyzed the formation of di-C-glycosides. Therefore, Ad CGT is a multifunctional glycosyltransferase with a broad substrate acceptability. This work highlights the potential of Ad CGT as a catalyst for glycosylation of coumarin and reveals a new regio-selective C-glycosyltransferase, providing a basis for exploring the mechanism of coumarin glycosylation.

The debenzylation reaction of hexabenzylhexaazaisowurtzitane (HBIW) and 2,6,8,12-tetraacetyl-4,10-dibenzyl-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (TADBIW) to synthesize 2,6,8,12-tetraacetyl-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (TAIW) is the major challenge in the production of 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (HNIW). This is primarily attributed to the reaction needing a lot of palladium catalysts, which tend to deactivate rapidly during the process. In this work, a series of Pd(OH)2/C catalysts were successfully prepared through a convenient deposition-precipitation method by controlling the flow rate of the PdCl2 solution. Employing the 10% Pd(OH)2/C–F0.5 sample, the debenzylation reaction was successfully completed with a lower usage of Pd and shorter time of reaction. For the HBIW debenzylation reaction, the yield of TADBIW was 87.4% at low temperature (25 °C) when 1‰ Pd/HBIW was used, and the higher yield was 89.8% at high temperature (45 °C) when 3‰ Pd/HBIW was used. The TADBIW/Pd/h values of them were 42.5 and 95.7, respectively. For the TADBIW debenzylation reaction, the complete conversion of the reactant was realized when Pd/TADBIW was 2‰. The value of TAIW/Pd/h was 154.6 when Pd/TADBIW was 4‰, which was higher than the reports. Compared to the reported catalysts, the dosage of Pd used in the debenzylation reactions of HBIW and TADBIW was significantly decreased. Furthermore, the 10% Pd(OH)2/C–F0.5 sample was recycled six times with similar performance, demonstrating excellent stability. Based on the analysis of characterization results, it is effortless to find that the flow rate of the PdCl2 solution plays a key role in controlling the adsorption behavior of palladium species on activated carbon. The lower flow rate is beneficial to obtaining Pd nanoparticles with a smaller size, a higher proportion of Pd2+, and a higher metal distribution. This study may provide a simple way to develop palladium catalysts with high performance for related applications.

The exploration of sustainable approaches for plastic waste disposal has emerged as an urgent imperative task. This research presents an innovative and eco-friendly electrochemical route to degrade plastic waste, ethylene glycol (EG), into value-added formate. To this end, an interesting hollow FeOOH/CoOOH heterostructure is successfully fabricated for EG oxidation. The difference in work functions between FeOOH and CoOOH results in the establishment of a built-in electric field (BEF), which is beneficial for the adsorption of EG and *OH. As a result, the FeOOH/CoOOH demonstrates outstanding catalytic performance in the EG oxidation reaction (EGOR) with an exceptionally low potential of only 1.32 V at 10 mA cm -2 and a high Faraday efficiency of 92.19% for formate generation. Glycollic acid is identified as a pivotal intermediate in the EGOR by in-situ infrared spectroscopy. Theoretical computations disclose that the FeOOH/CoOOH heterostructure not only causes an upward shift of the d-band center but also largely enhances the *OH adsorption, thus speeding up the cleavage of the inert C-C bond and markedly facilitating the conversion of EG to formate. This research not only enriches the fundamental comprehension of the EGOR but also provides deep insights for the rational design of highly selective and active EGOR catalysts.
