The MgO-doped hexagonal boron nitride (MgO-h-BN) nanomaterials were designed as a support for Palladium (Pd) catalysts for CO oxidation reaction. The catalytic properties of Pd/MgO(5)-h-BN catalyst was investigated and compared with Pd/h-BN catalyst. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results suggested that the PdO nanoparticles with small grain sizes (ca. 8 nm) were effectively dispersed on the surface of MgO, and the MgO were deposited on the h-BN nanosheets in the Pd/MgO(5)-h-BN catalyst. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses revealed that a small amount of Mg 2+ embedded into the B vacancies of h-BN nanosheets in the Pd/MgO(5)-h-BN catalyst. More significantly, a large amount of adsorbed oxygen appeared near the B vacancies of Pd/MgO(5)-h-BN catalyst. The experiments outcomes of diffuse reflectance fourier transform spectra analysis of CO (CO-DRIFT) indicated that the carbonate/formate species were easily decomposed to CO 2 on the Pd/MgO(5)-h-BN catalyst than Pd/h-BN catalyst, which might be a reason why the Pd/MgO(5)-h-BN catalyst had high CO oxidation activity. According to above analyses, we provide a new insight for the MgO-h-BN nanomaterials for Pd catalysts for application in CO oxidation reaction.

Cypermethrin, a common pyrethroid insecticide, raises significant ecological concerns due to its widespread use. In this study, a highly efficient cypermethrin-degrading strain, Rhodococcus sp. H-3, was isolated. The strain was capable of degrading 30 mg/L cypermethrin at the rate of 83.48 % within 7 days and it could hydrolyze cypermethrin into 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA) and permethric acid (DCVA). A novel cypermethrin degradation gene, cymE1 , was identified in strain H-3 through genome analysis, and its highest level of amino acid sequence similarity observed was 33.50 % in the Swiss-Prot database. The functional strain, SCK6-E, which could secrete CymE1, was successfully constructed by using double-exchange strategies. Strain SCK6-E could be applied for the removal of cypermethrin residues from tea plant leaves with a removal rate of 57.83 % within 2 h. Furthermore, strain H-3 demonstrated the capability to remediate cypermethrin-contaminated soil, exhibiting a degradation rate of 65.80 % over 10 days. The results of the 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing indicated that strain H-3 was conducive to the restoration of the diversity and richness of the bacterial community in the soil. This study provides novel strain and gene resources for researching the degradation mechanism of pyrethroids, and offers valuable insights for developing effective pesticide residue remediation strategies.

A new CeCO 3 OH@(hexagonal/cubic phases–CdS) (CeCO 3 OH@(H/C–CdS)) composite catalyst was facilely synthesized by a simple microinjection titration–stirring method, in which CdS nanoparticles were dispersed on the surface of CeCO 3 OH nanolines. The optimal conditions for the preparation of composite catalysts with high photocatalytic performance were determined by single-factor experiments and response surface experiments. Under these conditions, the degradation rate of 30 mL 2.000 g/L rhodamine B (Rh B) by CeCO 3 OH@(H/C-CdS) in a photocatalytic reaction for 1 h at 25 °C was up to 86.81 % and its degradation rate in a photocatalytic reaction for 150 min was up to 99.62 %. The degradation rate could be maintained above 80 % even after six times recycling. Especially, the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of 2.000 g/L Rh B on the composite catalyst under sunlight and at room temperature for 30 min reached 97.66 %. Meanwhile, the large size of CeCO 3 OH considerably alleviated the agglomeration of CdS, providing more adsorption and active sites for visible light-mediated degradation of Rh B. Importantly, the Z-scheme charge transfer realized by CdS and CeCO 3 OH enhanced the efficient separation of photogenerated electrons and holes, and successfully inhibited the recombination of photogenerated electrons with holes. At the same time, owing to the low energy band difference between the two phases of CdS, charge was transferred between the hexagonal and cubic phases, leaving more effective photogenerated charge to participate in the degradation of Rh B. The synergism of the heterophase junction and heterojunction and the presence of oxygen and sulfur vacancies considerably enhanced the degradation performance of the catalyst. Thus, this study provides a new strategy for the modification and enhanced visible-light catalysis performance of CdS-based catalysts.

Janus films with asymmetric physical/chemical properties have attracted considerable attention due to their promising applications in personal thermal management, electronic skins, sensors, actuators, etc. However, traditional methods for fabricating Janus films conventionally need the assistance of an interface or auxiliary equipment, which are usually complex and time-consuming. Herein, flexible poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/graphene oxide (GO)/h-BN (recorded as PVA/GO/h-BN) Janus films with thermally, optically, and electrically anisotropic properties are fabricated by a simple density deposition self-assembly method, which just utilizes the density difference between GO and h-BN during water evaporation. Experimental results show that the two sides of the acquired Janus films have obvious asymmetric characteristics. In the original state of the PVA/GO/h-BN Janus films, the thermal conductivity of the GO side (10.06 W·m −1 ·K −1 ) is generally lower than that of the h-BN side (10.48 W·m −1 ·K −1 ). But after GO is reduced, the thermal conductivity of the rGO side reaches 12.17 W·m −1 ·K −1 , surpassing that of the h-BN side. In addition, the relative reflectance of the h-BN side of Janus film is also significantly higher than that of the rGO side, and the surface resistance difference between the two sides is about 4 orders of magnitude. The prepared PVA/GO/h-BN Janus films show great application potential in human thermal management, light conversion switches, and electronic skins. This study provides a simple and versatile strategy for fabricating Janus films with multifunctional (such as thermal, optical, and electrical) anisotropies.

Glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR) represents an economical pathway for transforming renewable feedstock to value-added chemicals. However, the inertness of C(sp 3 )─H bonds of glycerol and intermediates results in the high energy barrier of the dehydrogenation step, relating to poor product selectivity at high glycerol conversion. Here, a carbon nanotube–supported PdBO x @Pd heterostructure catalyst (PdBO x @Pd/CNTs) was synthesized in which in situ–exsoluted PdBO x clusters covalently covered Pd nanoparticles, thus yielding strong electronic interaction between Pd nanoparticles and PdBO x clusters. The strong electronic interaction in PdBO x @Pd/CNTs induces the hybridization between Pd(d), B(s, p), and O(s, p) atom orbits, optimizing the adsorption of reactants and intermediates, thus enhancing the activity for the GOR. The density functional theory calculation result reveals that the strong electronic interaction in PdBO x @Pd/CNTs facilitates the hydrogen transfer in the primary C─H bond of the CH 2 OHCHOHCH 2 O* intermediate, thus reducing the energy barrier of the rate-determining step and improving glyceric acid selectivity toward the GOR.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common oral malignancy. DEAD/H-box helicase 11 (DDX11), a DNA helicase, has been implicated in the progression of several cancers. Yet, the precise function of DDX11 in OSCC is poorly understood. The DDX11 expression in OSCC cells and normal oral keratinocytes was evaluated in the Gene Expression Omnibus database (GSE146483 and GSE31853). SCC-4 and CAL-27 cells expressing doxycycline-inducible DDX11 or DDX11 shRNA were generated by lentiviral infection. The role of DDX11 in OSCC cells was determined by 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry assay, TUNEL staining, and western blot. The effects of DDX11 on tumor growth were explored in a xenograft nude mouse model. The relationship between DDX11 and transcription factor Yin Yang-1 (YY1) was researched using the dual luciferase report assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. DDX11 expression was significantly upregulated in OSCC cells. Knockdown of DDX11 inhibited cell proliferation, induced cell cycle arrest, and suppressed PI3K-AKT pathway, while DDX11 overexpression showed opposite effects. The number of apoptotic cells was increased in DDX11 silenced cells. DDX11 upregulation or knockdown accelerated or suppressed tumor growth in vivo, respectively. Moreover, the YY1 bound and activated the DDX11 promoter, resulting in increasing DDX11 expression. Forced expression DDX11 reversed the anticancer effects of YY1 silencing on OSCC cells. DDX11 has tumor-promoting function in OSCC and is transcriptionally regulated by YY1, indicating that DDX11 may serve as a potential target for the OSCC treatment.

Hydrated hydronium ions formed in the pores/cages of zeolite catalysts are suggested as the active species that could impact the adsorption of reactant, the stability of intermediates or transition states, and the reaction mechanism in the aqueous phase alcohol dehydration. Nevertheless, under a typical vapor phase reaction condition, the relevant situation is still debatable. Herein, the promotion of water on cyclohexanol (CyOH) adsorption and dehydration under a vapor phase condition was clarified by in situ 1 H MAS NMR, 2D 1 H DQ MAS NMR and 2D 1 H- 27 Al HMQC NMR spectroscopy, systematic kinetic studies, isotope tracing and thermodynamic measurements. The water promoting effects were ascribed to water facilitating the formation of H 3 O + cluster (H 3 O + (H 2 O) n-1 ), and per Brønsted acid site (BAS) could be saturated by about 5 water at ambient temperature. The CyOH dehydration pathway was found to be highly dependent on the water concentrations, and a dimer reaction route with the C-H bond rupture as the kinetically relevant step (KRS) was verified as the main reaction pathway at high water concentrations. All these findings provide the deep insights into how water regulating the zeolite catalyzed dehydration reaction at a molecular level.

This work reports an intramolecular C(sp3)–H annulation of functionalized 2,6-lutidines catalyzed by an organocalcium hydride [{(DIPPnacnac)CaH(thf)}2] (DIPPnacnac = CH{(CMe)(2,6-iPr2–C6H3N)}2). This reaction constitutes a streamlined approach for producing a new family of tetrahydro-1,5-naphthyridines and hexahydropyrido[3,2-b]azocines derivatives in good to excellent yields with high atom efficiency and broad substrates scope. A calcium alkyl complex was isolated from the stoichiometric reaction between calcium hydride and the substrate through deprotonation, which was structurally characterized and confirmed as the catalytic intermediate.

The development of readily accessible high-mobility n-type semiconducting polymers is in great demand for realizing high-performance p-n junction-based organic electronics. In this study, we demonstrate that with the combination of dual-acceptor strategy and C-H direct arylation polymerization (DArP), unipolar n-type semiconducting polymers can be conveniently synthesized. By tuning the monomer concentration, three dual-acceptor polymers, namely, poly(naphthalene diimide- alt -dithiophenyl pyrrolopyrrole-dione) (PNDI-DPP), poly(naphthalene diimide- alt -dithiophenyl isoindigo) (PNDI-IID), and poly (naphthalene diimide- alt -dithiophenyl bezothiadiazole) (PNDI-BT) can be obtained via C-H activation with decent number average molecular weight of ∼10 to 30 kg mol −1 and relatively narrow polydispersity index of ∼2. In addition, these polymers are defect-free in nature as evidenced by the nuclear magnetic resonance. Moreover, we attribute the different molar masses of the three copolymers under the same DArP condition to the different α-C-H acidity, which may stem from different electron-withdrawing capability of the hydrogenated acceptor units. Furthermore, the influence of the hydrogenated acceptor monomers on the optical, electrochemical and charge transporting properties is comprehensively studied. Among the three dual-acceptor polymers, PNDI-BT demonstrates the highest electron mobilities of up to 0.6 cm 2 V −1 s −1 in unipolar n-type organic transistors because of its relatively planar backbone, larger overlaps of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital and strong H-aggregation. Note that the transistor performance of PNDI-BT synthesized via C-H activation in this study is at least comparable to the one made by conventional C(sp 2 )-C(sp 2 ) Stille or Suzuki cross-coupling polymerization. This study demonstrates the presented protocol can be a useful platform for sustainable and convenient synthesis of high-performance n-type semiconducting polymers.

A highly selective, green and sustainable chlorination of aliphatic C–H bonds is reported using MCln under the co-catalysis of visible light and nano-Cu@CuCl, which was synthesised via a one-step, hydrothermal strategy using copper(II) sulfate and D-glucose as the reducing agent in a KCl solution. A novel cascade method of producing Cl2 occurs in situ chlorinating C(sp3)–Hs, achieved through nano-Cu@CuCl catalysis using inorganic chloride MCln as a chlorine source under visible light and without the need for a strong oxidant. The reaction was applied to the chlorination of different alkylarene α-Hs and cyclic hydrocarbons C–HS and was developed for use in a photocatalytic serial reactor system which accomplished the chlorination of toluene α-Hs to give 92% conversion, 90% yield and 98% selectivity. Electron spin resonance (ESR) studies of DMPO-Cl. revealed that the reaction mechanism belonged to a free radical process.

For preparing finer and well-dispersed calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) seeds at a lower cost, the waste solution of acid treatment of recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs) and black liquor from pulping were used for the synthesis of C-S-H seeds. The results show that C-S-H seeds can be successfully fabricated by chemical co-precipitation reaction using the two waste solutions. Interestingly, it was globular rather than traditional foil-like. Furthermore, C-S-H seeds synthesized using the two waste solutions had smaller particle size and better dispersibility. More importantly, it had a more prominent accelerating effect to the strength development of mortar, significantly enhancing the early and long-term compressive strength of mortar.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) represents a globally prevalent malignancy characterized by a poor prognosis, largely due to the challenges that patients face in tolerating invasive diagnostic procedures. Therefore, it is imperative to explore strategies to enhance the early diagnostic rate for patients with ESCC. Based on the property of H-chain ferritin-based magnetic ferritin nanoparticles (M-HFn) as contrast agents that can target cluster of differentiation 71 (CD71), this study provides a comprehensive evaluation of the expression levels and diagnostic potential of CD71 to investigate the feasibility of utilizing M-HFn for non-invasive diagnosis. Following the synthesis and the characterization of M-HFn, an orthotopic mouse model is developed to simulate the progression of ESCC. Subsequently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are conducted after administering M-HFn to the mice. The results indicate a progressive increase of CD71 expression in tissues, transitioning from normal epithelium to esophageal squamous precancerous lesions (ESPL) and ultimately to ESCC. M-HFn injected into the mice selectively target cells with heightened CD71 expression, resulting in accumulation at the lesion sites. Consistent with pathological diagnoses, MRI images demonstrate a reduction in signal intensity at the lesion site in T 2 -weighted sequences, thereby facilitating the visualization of ESCC and ESPL. CD71 demonstrates high accuracy and specificity as a diagnostic target, positioning M-HFn-mediated targeted diagnostic strategy as a promising approach for the early detection of ESCC, with the potential to significantly improve patient prognosis.
