A simple and reliable colorimetric detection system based on anti-aggregation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is proposed for rapid detection of Hg 2+ with high selectivity and sensitivity. O -phenylenediamine (OPD) can cause the aggregation of AuNPs due to formation of the strong covalent NH Au bond, and then induce color change of the AuNPs solution from red to blue. However, in the presence of Hg 2+ , OPD prefers to combine with Hg 2+ rather than AuNPs resulting in inhibition of the color change. Based on the anti-aggregation mechanism, Hg 2+ can be detected by observing the color change of AuNPs solution containing OPD. After optimization, the selectivity of this Hg 2+ detection system by the naked eyes and UV–vis spectra is excellent comparing with other ions. The limit of the detection (LOD) is 0.1 μM by the naked eyes and 5.0 nM by UV–vis spectroscopy, which is lower than the mercury toxic level (10 nM) defined by US Environmental Protection Agency. It's a good linear relationship between A 520 / A 680 and Hg 2+ concentration from 0.01 μM to 2.0 μM, which is used for the quantitative assay of Hg 2+ . The applicability of our detection system is also verified by analysis of Hg 2+ in tap water and lake water.

Fe-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered significant attention as catalysts for heterogeneous Fenton reactions, while the limited efficiency of the Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox cycle hinders their widespread use in wastewater treatment. Herein, we successfully incorporated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into MIL-101(Fe) to modulate the coordination environment of Fe for achieving better catalytic activity. The MIL-101(Fe)/CNTs/H 2 O 2 system shows outstanding performance in degrading various pollutants, with the catalytic activity of the MIL-101(Fe)/CNTs composites (98.8%) significantly surpassing that of MIL-101(Fe) alone (26.4%) or CNTs alone (3.5%). Multiple experimental findings suggest that this synergistic effect is primarily attributed to the C-O-Fe bridge bonds resulting from the interaction of surface carboxyl groups on CNTs with Fe in MIL-101(Fe). This unique coordination structure accelerates the redox cycle of Fe(III)/Fe(II), thereby promoting the generation of hydroxyl radicals (HO • ). Furthermore, the MIL-101(Fe)/CNTs composites demonstrate excellent reusability and stability, maintaining effectiveness over a wide pH range from 3.0 to 6.5. This study provides new insights into regulating the microstructure of Fe-based MOFs to enhance their Fenton catalytic activity.

In the alkaline-surfactant-polymer flooding emulsion, oil droplets with various sizes exhibited different interfacial properties , resulting in different stabilization and destabilization behaviors. In view of this, it is expected to achieve outstanding oil-water separation efficiency by screening targeted demulsifier for oil droplets with different size ranges (0–1, 1–5 and 5–10 μm). Based on the size effect of oil droplets, a series of multibranched polyether-polyquaternium demulsifiers that integrated different charge neutralization and interfacial displacement functionalities were designed by regulating the cationicity and EO:PO ratios. As a result, the most effective polyether-polyquaternium variant for each size range of oil droplet was screened out. By employing these three selected polyether-polyquaternium variants in a sequential batch demulsification test, the maximum demulsification efficiency of 95.1% was obtained, which was much higher than that using a single polyether-polyquaternium variant (82.5%, 80.5% and 83.8%). The adsorption behaviors of polyether-polyquaternium variants on the oil/water interface were investigated by the molecular dynamics simulation. Moreover, the interfacial properties and oil droplet size variations during the demulsification process were monitored, so as explore the demulsification mechanism. This demulsification protocol based on the size effect of oil droplets with its excellent oil-water separation performance offered significant technical promise for the emulsified oil wastewater disposal.

The hydrogenolysis of cellulose-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is essential for the production of fuels and chemicals from biomass. Herein, we fabricated a phosphorus-doped Pd/P-TiO2 catalyst for the hydrodeoxygenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-dimethylfuran. A large number of defects and electron-deficient Ti4+ sites (dTi4+) were formed by doping phosphorus into the TiO2 support, which could promote hydrogen spillover and reactant adsorption. Moreover, the spilled active hydrogen induced the formation of P–O(H)-dTi4+, which acted as a “Brønsted acidic site” to promote the activation of C–O bonds. Consequently, the Pd/P-TiO2 catalyst exhibited superb activity for the hydrodeoxygenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-dimethylfuran at mild conditions of 150 °C under 1 MPa H2.

The copigmentation effect between malvidin-3- O -glucoside and caffeic acid was comprehensive inquiry on the model wine solution, theoretical simulation and real wine. Thermodynamic parameters were determined by UV/Visible spectroscopy and Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Theoretical data were obtained employing a dispersion-corrected density functional approach. The effects in real wines were investigated by adding the caffeic acid during different fermentation periods. Results shown that the copigmentation reaction between caffeic acid and malvidin-3- O -glucoside is a spontaneous exothermic reaction driven by hydrogen bonding and dispersions forces. Computations show that the polyhydroxyl sugar moiety and phenolic hydroxyl groups are the key active sites. The addition of caffeic acid in post-alcohol fermentation samples evidences an improving color characteristics in the wine.

Two borates, K3Al2B11O21 (KABO) and K3Al2MoB9O21 (KAMBO), with edge-sharing [BO4] (ES-[BO4]) tetrahedra and different B–O configurations in one structure, were rationally designed and prepared at atmospheric pressure by introducing covalent tetrahedra. KABO is the first borate identified to have ES-[BO4] tetrahedra and two different dimensional B–O groups, namely, isolated [B6O12] groups with ES-[BO4] and one-dimensional infinite chains. In addition, KAMBO is a rare borate that features ES-[BO4] tetrahedra and two distinct isolated B–O groups ([B6O12] and [B3O6]). The discovery of these two compounds not only enriches the structures of borates, but also suggests a novel method for creating borates with ES-[BO4] tetrahedral structures and flexible B–O configurations at atmospheric pressure.

Simultaneously improving electrochemical activity and stability is a long-term goal for water splitting. Herein, hierarchical N-doped carbon nanotubes on carbon nanowires derived from PPy are grown on carbon cloth, serving as a support for NiCo oxides/sulfides. The hierarchical electrodes annealed in N 2 or H 2 /N 2 display improved intrinsic activity and stability for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and glucose oxidation reaction. Compared with Pt/C||Ir/C in alkaline media, the glucose electrolysis assembled with electrodes exhibits a cell voltage of 1.38 V at 10 mA cm −2 , durability for >12 h at 50 mA cm −2 , and resistance to glucose/gluconic acid poisoning. In addition, electrocatalysts can also be applied in ethanol oxidation reactions. Systematic characterizations reveal the strong interactions between NiCo and N-doped carbon support-induced partial charge transfer at the interface and regulate the local electronic structure of active sites. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the synergistic effect between N-doped carbon supports, metallic NiCo, and NiCo oxides/sulfides optimize the adsorption energy of H 2 O and the H* free energy for HER. The energy barrier of the dehydrogenation of glucose effectively decreased. This work will attract attention to the role of metal-support interactions in enhancing the intrinsic activity and stability of electrocatalysts.

Glycyrrhetinic acid 3-O-monoglucuronide (GAMG) and glycyrrhizin (GL) are typical pentacyclic triterpenoid saponins present in licorice roots that exhibit important pharmacological properties. GAMG and GL are sourced primarily from licorice, namely, “digging roots and extracting acid”, which results in ecological imbalance and environmental pollution. To overcome these issues, it is an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to de novo synthesize GAMG and GL in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by coupling UDP-glucuronic acid and glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) under the catalysis of glycosyltransferases. However, the reported productivity is too low for industrial production. The primary limiting factors include insufficient supply of precursors, poor activity, and low specificity of the glycosyltransferases. In this study, we reconstructed the GA-producing platform strain in which GA was mainly accumulated intracellularly, making it suitable for subsequent glycosylation modifications. Different glycosyltransferases were tested and selected in the platform strain for achieving the efficient and specific synthesis of GAMG and GL. Protein engineering of rate-limiting enzyme cUGT73P12 was performed to further facilitate the conversion from GAMG to GL. The glycosylation capacity of this system was assessed in vivo, uncovering that the insufficient supply of precursor GA limited glycosylation modifications. Correspondingly, multiple metabolic engineering strategies were applied to optimize the carbon flux distribution, increasing the titers of GAMG and GL by 115.6 and 50.2%, respectively. Finally, 552.9 mg/L GAMG and 476.6 mg/L GL were produced in the 5 L fed-batch fermentation, which were 238- and 79-fold higher than previously reported values, respectively. The strategy described herein can serve as a reference for the glycosylation of triterpenoids in a cost-effective manner.

This study presents a pH-switchable Fenton-like system based on sulfur-doped FeP synthesized via a confined gas–solid strategy, where ·OH dominates at pH 3.0 and Fe(IV)=O prevails at pH 6.0. Sulfur incorporation modulates the FeP electronic structure by expanding the lattice, enhancing Fe–P covalency, and increasing electron density, thereby promoting charge transfer and reducing the activation barrier for H 2 O 2 activation. The optimized FePS 15 catalyst achieved ~99% sulfamethoxazole degradation (150 mg/L) within 15 minutes, exhibiting a reaction rate 2.54 times higher than that of undoped FeP. When further supported on lignin-derived carbon spheres (FePS 15 @LC), it exhibited enhanced structural integrity, suppressed iron leaching, and improved reusability. These findings demonstrate that sulfur doping drives pH-dependent ROS switching from ·OH to Fe(IV)=O, supporting adaptable Fenton-like catalysis. This work improves mechanistic insight into ROS modulation and enables pH-adaptable advanced oxidation processes for pollutant removal.

The synthesis of poly( o -anisidine)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes composite (POA/MWCNTs NC) was carried out via chemical oxidative polymerization for the adsorptive removal of Direct Yellow 26 dye (DY 26). In the polymerization, the ammonium persulphate was used as an oxidant along with 4,4′-diaminodiphenylamine dimer as initiator. Then, the structural composition, crystalline properties, absorption behavior, morphology, and surface attributes of both the polymer and the nanocomposite were analyzed by different techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–visible spectroscopy (UV–visible), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis (BET). BET analysis showed significant improvement in the surface area (690 m 2 /g) and porosity (0.216 cm 3 /g) of the composite material as compared to pure POA. Further, the composite was applied for the elimination of DY 26 in aqueous media. Moreover, the adsorption parameters were also optimized like pH, contact time, adsorbent dose and dye concentration. The highest dye removal efficiency was achieved up to 83% against 50 mg/L concentration of dye solution under the conditions of pH at 2, contact time of 30 min, and 2 g amount of the adsorbent. Furthermore, the kinetic studies revealed that the adsorption of DY 26 followed the pseudo first-order rate constant by the polymeric adsorbent.

Photocathodic protection is a promotion strategy for the corrosion protection of metallic materials, and the selection of photocathodic materials is a critical factor in improving the performance of photocathodic protection of metallic materials. Herein, a Ti-P-V-O composite semiconductor photoelectrode with an adjustable porous structure was prepared by the micro-arc oxidation (MAO) method using titanium alloy (TC 4 ) as the matrix and ammonium metavanadate (NH 4 VO 3 ) as the additive. The photogenerated open circuit potential, instantaneous photocurrent density response value, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and Tafel curve of as-prepared Ti-P-V-O photo-electrodes were measured after coupling with 304SS to clarify the cathodic protection effect for 304 stainless steel (304SS). It is found that the as-prepared Ti-P-V-O coating photoelectrode has a more negative open circuit potential, a more significant photocurrent density response, more effective interface carrier transport ability, lower resistance, lower compounding efficiency of photogenerated electron/hole pairs, and more negative conduction band level, as compared with that of TiO 2 coatings. Moreover, the optimized Ti-P-V-O photoelectrode (Ti-P-V-O&300 V) exhibited the maximum negative shift of the corrosion potential (410 mV vs. SCE) for coupling with 304 stainless steel. This work presents a new strategy for constructing an efficient coating photo-electrode for photocathodic protection of metallic materials.

The cleavage of C–O bonds in biomass-derived carbohydrates is of great significance for the conversion of biomass to chemicals and fuels. We demonstrated that various F127-directed covalent triazine frameworks functionalized by sulfonic acid-based ionic liquids ([C 3 N][OTf]-FCTF) were synthesized by a two-step synthesis process. The interesting morphology of spherical nanofiber of the [C 3 N][OTf]-FCTF(0.25)-10 catalyst was obtained by carefully adjusting the usage of both F127 and ethanol in the synthetic system. The 5-hydroxymethylfurfural synthesis reaction parameters of were first optimized using the [C 3 N][OTf]-FCTF(0.25)-10 via response surface methodology. The [C 3 N][OTf]-FCTF(0.25)-10 exhibited high catalytic activity, and outperformed other CTF-based catalysts with different morphologies and commercial solid acids in the conversion of carbohydrates (e.g., fructose, inulin, sucrose and honey). This is due to the advantages of the loose spherical nanofiber, the rich N-containing units, the suitable Brønsted acid nature and the adjacent acid-base pairs on the surface of the catalyst. The high Brønsted acidity of [C 3 N][OTf]-FCTF(0.25)-10 played a positive role in the selective synthesis of levulinic acid from carbohydrates. The theoretical calculations demonstrated that discrepancies in electron cloud distribution between constructed acid-base pairs and N-rich groups in the catalyst could facilitate the cleavage of C–O bonds in fructose molecules. The Fukui function combined with experimental results elucidated the reaction pathways. The robust interaction between –[C 3 N][OTf] groups and frameworks ensured the excellent reusability of [C 3 N][OTf]-FCTF catalysts. This study will provide a novel approach for synthesizing CTF-based solid acids with controllable morphology, enabling the high-value utilization of carbohydrates.
