Graphical Take baby steps: Polyaniline-grafted vanadyl acetylacetonate shows high catalytic activity for the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) under atmospheric oxygen pressure. A high HMF conversion of 99 % and a 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) yield of 86 % are obtained after 12 h. More importantly, the synthesis of DFF directly from fructose is also realized with two binary catalysts: Amberlyst-15 and polyaniline–vanadyl acetylacetonate. Herein, polyaniline-grafted vanadyl acetylacetonate [VO(acac) 2 ] was prepared and used as an effective catalyst for the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) under atmospheric oxygen pressure. A high HMF conversion of 99.2 % was obtained after 12 h at 110 °C, and 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) was obtained in 86.2 % yield. More importantly, the one-pot conversion of fructose into DFF was also realized with two binary catalysts: Amberlyst-15 and polyaniline–VO(acac) 2 . Amberlyst-15 was used for the acid-catalyzed dehydration of fructose into HMF, followed by the in situ oxidation of HMF catalyzed by polyaniline–VO(acac) 2 . DFF could be obtained in a yield of 42.1 % from fructose by using the one-pot reaction, whereas two consecutive steps gave a higher DFF yield of 71.1 %. Owing to the facile catalyst preparation and low cost, this method showed a promising potential for the synthesis of DFF from abundant carbohydrates.

Zinc oxide supported on granular activated carbon (ZnO-GAC) was synthesized for the photocatalysis of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) with the presence of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). RB5 removal was improved with increasing temperature and dosage of PMS or catalyst, but declined with increasing pH and RB5 concentration. The reaction followed first-order kinetic model and the activation energy was determined to be 16.15 kJ mol −1 . After 60 min treatment, 43.6% of TOC was removed and further extending the reaction time to 90 min resulted in 51.9% TOC removal. The evolution profile of ammonium and nitrate ions was monitored during the treatment, and the organic degradation products of RB5 oxidation were identified by LC-MS analysis with a plausible degradation pathway being proposed. Quenching experiments indicated that electron hole (h + ) and reactive radicals (e.g. HO • /SO 4 •− ) were mainly responsible for RB5 removal in the UV/ZnO-GAC/PMS system. The catalyst reuse experiment shows that ZnO-GAC had no obvious deactivation after four cycles, which implied the reusability and stability of the prepared catalyst. Response surface methodology (RSM) with Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used to evaluate the effect of operating conditions, including PMS concentration, reaction temperature and initial pH on the removal rate of RB5. The result of adequacy check indicated the proposed RSM model was reliable and accurate to analyze the operating parameters of the UV/ZnO-GAC/PMS system.

Strong visible light absorption and high charge mobility are desirable properties for an efficient photocatalyst, yet they are hard to be realized simultaneously in a single semiconductor compound. In this work, we demonstrate that these properties coexist in homologous compounds ZnnIn2O3+n (n = 4, 5, and 7) with a peculiar layered structure that combines optical active segment and electrical conductive segment together. Their enhanced visible light absorption originates from tetrahedrally or trigonal-bipyramidally coordinated In atoms in Zn(In)O4(5) layers which enable p–d hybridization between In 4d and O 2p orbitals so that valence band minimum (VBM) is uplifted with a reduced band gap. Theoretical calculations reveal their anisotropic features in charge transport and functionality of different constituent segments, i.e., Zn(In)O4(5) layers and InO6 layers as being for charge generation and charge collection, respectively. Efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution was observed in these compounds under full range (λ ≥ 250 nm) and visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm). High apparent quantum efficiency ∼2.79% was achieved for Zn4In2O7 under full range irradiation, which is almost 5-fold higher than their parent oxides ZnO and In2O3. Such superior photocatalytic activities of these homologous compounds can be understood as layer-by-layer packing of charge generation/collection functional groups that ensures efficient photocatalytic reactions.

A series of MOF-5 @BTA-X (X = -CH 3 /-NH 2 /-CO(CH 2 ) 6 CH 3 ) anticorrosion composites was fabricated through loading benzotriazole derivatives in a metal–organic framework (i.e., MOF-5). Their crystal structures and morphologies were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy , and transmission electron microscopy . The loading–releasing mechanisms between MOF-5 and BTA derivatives were revealed by experiments and theoretical calculations. Their anticorrosion performance for copper was also evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization in 0.5 M NaCl. The corrosion product was analyzed via scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results indicated that the loading capacities followed the order of MOF-5 @BTA-NH 2 > MOF-5 @BTA-CH 3 > MOF-5 @BTA-CO(CH 2 ) 6 CH 3 . The release rates followed the order of MOF-5 @BTA-NH 2 < MOF-5 @BTA-CH 3 < MOF-5 @BTA-CO(CH 2 ) 6 CH 3 . Furthermore, the results of theoretical calculations indicated that the differences in loading capacities depended on the polarity of the functional group. Meanwhile, the strong binding force decreased the release rate.

One-step fractionation with concentrated formic acid at elevated temperatures with short retention time was investigated for corn stover valorization. Crude pulp (CP) with high purity of cellulose and FA-lignin (FAL) with high guaiacyl content were fractionated through one-step mild pretreatment. Formylation reaction on both CP and FAL fractions occurred during the pretreatment and improved the hydrophobicity and thermal stability of CPs and FALs. The presence of formyl group on CPs significantly inhibited the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency for sugar production, however, the formylated cellulose showed super high reactivity and selectivity for HMF production through catalysis by maleic acid and aluminum chloride in acetonitrile-water co-solvent system. In addition, the fractionated FAL fraction exhibited a loose structure which is prominent for its further catalytic conversion into chemicals and energy.

5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is widely used in the clinical treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC), but its effectiveness is limited by poor patient compliance and inadequate drug retention. Herein, a novel thermoresponsive nanogel (P(NVCL-co-GelMA)) was synthesized through the copolymerization of N-vinylcaprolactam (NVCL) and methacrylated gelatin (GelMA). This nanogel serves as an effective carrier for 5-ASA, transitioning from a sol to a hydrogel at physiological temperatures, thereby enhancing drug retention and reducing leakage. In vitro studies revealed that the nanogel has a lower critical solution temperature of approximately 34 °C and can form a gel within 60 s. It demonstrates superior bioadhesion, biocompatibility, and controlled release of 5-ASA. In a rat model of UC, the 5-ASA-loaded nanogel significantly improved weight loss and disease activity index scores compared to untreated rats. The hydrogel coating acts as a biophysical barrier on the intestinal mucosa, effectively blocking the irritation caused by metabolites and maximizing the therapeutic effect, comparable to that of commercial mesalazine enema (Salofalk). The P(NVCL-co-GelMA) nanogel represents a promising drug delivery system for the treatment of UC, offering extended drug retention, reduced leakage, and enhanced therapeutic efficacy.

The sensitivity, selectivity, and accuracy of immobilized protein-based methods are critically dependent on the strategies employed for protein immobilization. Compared with random immobilization approaches, site-specific covalent methods have emerged as promising alternatives, offering enhanced analytical performance. However, these methods typically require genetic modification of the target protein to incorporate a specific tag or prior purification of the protein, posing significant challenges for immobilizing endogenous proteins. Herein, we address these limitations by using the 5-hydroxytryptamine transporter (5-HTT) as a model system. We designed a probe by conjugating fluvoxamine─a specific ligand of 5-HTT─with either a fluorescent reporter or aminopropyl-modified silica gel through an alkyl linker containing an acyl imidazole moiety as the reactive group. By introducing ligand-directed acyl imidazole (LDAI) chemistry, we achieved selective labeling of 5-HTT in live cells and endogenous 5-HTT immobilization without purification in advance. Labeling experiments confirmed the high specificity and favorable kinetics of the LDAI ligands toward 5-HTT. Chromatographic analysis revealed significant improvements in selectivity (5.7–50.9-fold), resolution (1.2–3.0-fold), and sensitivity (1.0–12.0-fold) for analyzing canonical ligands when using immobilized endogenous 5-HTT, compared to His-tagged and Halo-tagged recombinant proteins. This approach, by substituting fluvoxamine with other ligands in the probe, can be generalized for the labeling and immobilization of a wide range of endogenous proteins, offering a versatile platform for advanced protein-based analytical techniques.

Several key virulence factors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are regulated by quorum-sensing systems, small noncoding RNAs (sRNAs), and environmental stress, leading to a high mortality rate. Our previous studies indicated that the alkaline phosphatase LapA regulated P. aeruginosa PAO1 biofilm formation in a chronic wound model established with ex vivo porcine skin explants. Notably, one particular sRNA located upstream of the lapA gene was highly expressed in the model. Therefore, the sRNA was further characterized via northern blotting and rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The results revealed that the sRNA we named LapS is 197 nucleotides in length and is derived from the 5´ UTR and sequence internal to the lapA gene. Next, LapS mutation, overexpression, and complementation strains were constructed from the PAO1 strain, and phenotypic experiments associated with lapA were performed and compared with those of the ΔlapA and wild-type strains. The results indicated that LapS is involved in regulating swarming motility, rhamnolipid and alkaline phosphatase production, las/rhl quorum-sensing systems, and biofilm formation by controlling the level of lapA mRNA under phosphate-depleted conditions. Therefore, this LapS-lapA signaling cascade is beneficial for balancing the virulence regulation of P. aeruginosa. Additionally, an in vitro study indicated that LapS directly and post-transcriptionally regulated at least one unlinked gene, putA, which encodes bifunctional proline dehydrogenase, a virulence factor of P. aeruginosa. Collectively, our findings reveal a previously unstudied regulatory sRNA and advance the understanding of the roles of sRNAs in the pathogenicity of P. aeruginosa.

The synthesis of bis(5-methylfuran)methane (BMFM) from biomass-based 5-methylfurfural (5-MF), a vital fuel precursor, is crucial for biomass refining. However, selective BMFM production from 5-MF needs to suppress side reactions such as hydrogenolysis and decarbonylation. Therefore, direct hydrogenation of 5-MF into BMFM is very challenging in sustainable biomass valorization. In this study, we developed a bimetallic RuCu/hydroxyapatite (HAP) catalyst for selective synthesis of BMFM from 5-MF. The RuCu/HAP catalyst delivered a BMFM yield of 75.6% under mild reaction conditions (Vwater : Vcyclohexane = 1 : 1, 4 MPa H2, 100 °C, 4 h), significantly surpassing its monometallic counterparts (Ru/HAP: 28.7%; Cu/HAP: 0%). Furthermore, a 79% yield of C11 straight-chain alkanes was obtained from BMFM through the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) process. The systematic characterization revealed that Ru mediates hydrogenation steps via CO activation, while Cu orchestrates acid sites essential for self-condensation of 5-MFA. The synergistic interplay between metallic Ru and acidic Cu sites thereby enables simultaneous optimization of conversion efficiency and BMFM selectivity. These findings provide a practical and efficient route for converting lignocellulosic derivatives into renewable biofuels, particularly for sustainable aviation fuel applications.

The core–shell structured MCM-22/ZSM-5 zeolite (MZCS50) was synthesized through a combination of hydrothermal crystallization (to form the MCM-22 core) and steam-assisted crystallization (to form the ZSM-5 shell). The MCM-22 core exhibited lamellar cake-like shape with a diameter of 3 ∼ 4 µm, while the ZSM-5 shell consisted of aggregated nanoparticles. MZCS50 possessed a high specific surface area, a micropore-mesopore coexisting structure, and was Brønsted acid-dominant material. MZCS50 was used as a catalyst for the cracking of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) to produce BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes). The results showed that 550 °C was the optimal temperature for LDPE cracking. The maximum liquid yield achieved was 23.4 %, with selectivities to BTEX, xylenes and p -xylene of 79.8 %, 43.2 %, and 21.3 %, respectively. Repeated cracking experiments demonstrated that MZCS50 exhibited good stability and superior catalytic performance in converting toluene to xylenes and further transforming xylene isomers into p -xylene. These results indicate that the core–shell structured MZCS50 is a promising catalyst for converting plastic wastes into valuable p -xylene.

1,3-benzodioxole-5-yl-methyl-maleimide (BDOMM), a type of hydrogen-abstraction photoinitiator with both hydrogen donor and acceptor in one molecule for free radical photopolymerization, was synthesized through the reaction of piperonyl amine and maleic anhydride and characterized by IR, UV and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The results obtained indicated that the introduction of BDOMM could avoid the use of additional amine coinitiator, decrease the leachablity of photoinitiator and maintain high photo-initiation efficiency.
