Electrophotocatalytic C-H hydroxylation of benzene is an emerging green technology with high potential for producing phenol in one step. However, it is still limited by efficiency and scale-up challenges in batch process. In this study, a novel electrophotochemical flow microreactor was designed and manufactured using 3D printing technology. Static mixers were incorporated to enhance the mixing. The effect of various parameters, such as electrode materials, reaction time, potential, and reactant concentration, etc., on the continuous synthesis of phenol in the as-developed microreactor was investigated. Furthermore, machine learning (ML) algorithms were employed to explore the impact of these parameters on the reaction efficiency. With cost-effective electrodes, higher phenol productivity was achieved in the present flow microreactor when comparing with batch counterpart and literature value. This study offers insights into the optimization of electrophotochemical microreactor for the hydroxylation of benzene, and provides guidance for exploring sustainable electrophotocatalytic organic synthesis in flow.

In the catalytic transformation of bio-oil into liquid fuels having alkanes via hydrodeoxygenation (HDO), the acid and metal sites in the catalyst are pivotal for promoting the HDO of lignin-derived phenolic compounds. This study introduces a novel bifunctional catalyst comprising phosphomolybdenum-vanadium heteropolyacids (H4PMo11VO40) coupled with Ni/C. The HDO reaction of the model compound guaiacol was carried out under reaction conditions of 230 °C, revealing the superior performance of H4PMo11VO40 with Ni/C catalysts compared to the conventional acids, even at low dosage. The Keggin structure of H4PMo11VO40 provided a solid catalyst with strong acidic and redox properties, alongside advantages such as ease of synthesis, cost-effectiveness, and tunable acid and redox properties at the molecular level. Characterization of Ni/C and the prepared acid demonstrated favorable pore structure with a mesopore volume of 0.281 cm3/g and an average pore size of 3.404 nm, facilitating uniform distribution and catalytic activity of Ni-metal. Incorporating acid enhances the acidic sites, fostering synergistic interactions between metal and acidic sites within the catalyst, thereby significantly enhancing HDO performance. Guaiacol conversion at 230 °C reached 100%, with a cyclohexane selectivity of 89.3%. This study presents a promising pathway for converting lignin-derived phenolic compounds.

Developing a simple, reliable, and sensitive hepatitis C virus (HCV) genetic sensing platform is of great significance for diagnosing diseases and selecting appropriate antiviral treatments. Herein, a tandem nucleic acid amplification strategy for sensitive detection of HCV genotype 1b (HCV-1b) was developed by stringing the catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) and the triggered DNAzyme amplifier. The hairpin reactants were initiated by the target to produce lots of triggering double-stranded DNA sequences which can efficiently activate the subsequent blocked DNAzyme. Thereby, the continuous cleavage of substrate was realized, resulting in the fluorescence signal amplification. The DNA-based isothermal CHA-DNAzyme (CDz) sensing platform was successfully applied for sensitive detection of HCV-1b with the limit of detection (84 pM) and showed good selectivity. Moreover, the practical detection of target DNA in the complex biologic matrix indicated that the developing strategy had good potential for early HCV infection diagnosis.

One method to enhance the electrochemical performance of carbon-coated Li2FeSiO4cathode material in lithium-ion batteries is to produce an ideal Li2FeSiO4precursor with minimal impurities. A novel precursor for Li2FeSiO4(Li2O·FeCO3·CH3OSiO2H) was synthesized through a methanol solvothermal reaction under stringent conditions (180 °C and 2.7 MPa), achieving a purity level of 93.2%. During synthesis, the new Li2FeSiO4precursor exhibits unique self-purification properties and maintains a fine morphology after annealing. The resulting carbon-coated Li2FeSiO4composites demonstrate a Brunauer–Emmett–Teller specific surface area of 102.4 m2/g and approximately 81% mesoporous volume, with 90% of the pore sizes measuring less than 39 nm. As a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, this carbon-coated Li2FeSiO4exhibits initial specific capacities of 172.3 mAh/g (charge) and 159.3 mAh/g (discharge). Remarkably, nearly 50% of the theoretical specific capacity remains after 1300 cycles at a rate of 0.1 C. The excellent electrochemical performance of the carbon-coated Li2FeSiO4materials is demonstrated by their high lithium-ion diffusivity (DLi+) value of 1.26 × 10−11cm2/s. Additionally, the enormous capacities-controlled diffusion contribution, which accounts for 70% of the total diffusion at a rate of 1C, is noteworthy. This performance can be attributed to the high purity of the carbon-free Li2FeSiO4composite, which contains 91% Li2FeSiO4, as well as its favorable morphology.

CO 2 -based polyols have a unique terminal hydroxyl group structure that makes them suitable for the production of high-performance polyurethane foams. Zn-Co double metal cyanides (DMC) are an important class of catalysts for the copolymerization reaction of CO 2 with propylene oxide (PO). In the DMC-catalyzed CO 2 /PO copolymerization to produce CO 2 -based polyols, the crucial role of chain transfer agents (CTAs) is emphasized. In this work, a high-performance composite CTA (c-CTA) was successfully developed by investigating various dicarboxylic acids and polypropylene glycol (PPG-400) as CTAs. This system combines the high reaction rate of the DMC/PPG-400 system with the high CO 2 insertion rate of the DMC/sebacic acid (SA) system, achieving 2-3 times higher activity than that of single CTA (PPG-400 or SA), reaching 0.5 kg/g. The molecular characteristics of the CO 2 -based polyols synthesized by different DMC/CTAs systems were analyzed by FTIR and 1 H NMR. The reasons for the high catalytic activity of the DMC/c-CTA system were elucidated by analyzing the hydrogen bond distribution in each DMC/CTA systems. Overall, this work provides a theoretical guidance for the development of novel CO 2 -based materials with high industrial application value.

Electromagnetic (EM) pollution can disrupt the functioning of advanced electronic devices, hence it’s necessary to design EM wave absorbers with high-level absorption capabilities. The Ti 3 C 2 T x (MXene) is classified as a potential EM absorbing material; nevertheless, the lack of magnetic loss mechanism leads to its inadequate EM absorbing performance. On this basis, a novel composite design with promising EM absorption properties is hypothesized to be the integration of few-layer MXene and heterogeneous magnetic MOF derivatives (Fe 3 O 4 /C) with complementary advantages. Herein, we synthesized two-dimensional (2D) interfacial-polarization-enhanced MXene hybrid (Fe 3 O 4 /C/MXene) by electrostatic assembly. It is notable that the interfacial polarization is realized by adding a small amount of magnetic Fe 3 O 4 /C. Furthermore, the Fe 3 O 4 /C/ MXene demonstrates an astonishing effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 10.7 GHz and an excellent EM wave absorption performance (RL min ) of −66.9 dB. Moreover, the radar cross section (RCS) of Fe 3 O 4 /C/MXene is lower than −15.1 dB m 2 from −90° to 90° with a minimum RCS value of −52.6 dB m 2 at 32°. In addition, the significant attenuation of the EM wave is due to the synergistic effect of improved impedance matching, dielectric loss, and magnetic loss. Thus, the magnetized Fe 3 O 4 /C/MXene hybrid is expected to emerge as a strong contender for high-performance EM wave absorbers.

Introducing “spacer” materials into Ti3C2Tx layers is a powerful approach to reduce layer stacking and enhance the utilization of active sites in capacitive deionization (CDI). In this research, porous carbon spheres derived from polymethacrylates (PMMA) act as the “spacer” material, and the Ti3C2Tx/C composite is prepared through a straightforward technique of mixing followed by annealing. Through the cooperative effect of the “separation” of Ti3C2Tx nanosheets and the porous nature of the carbon spheres, Ti3C2Tx/C has a large specific surface area of 96.01 m2 g–1, a pore volume of 0.2306 cm3 g–1, and a well-developed mesoporous structure. Benefiting from the increased adsorption sites coupled with lower migration resistance, Ti3C2Tx/C achieves an ion adsorption capacity of 24.29 mg g–1 and ion adsorption rate of 0.0485 mg g–1 s–1 in 1000 μS cm–1 NaCl solution at 1.2 V, reflecting an increase of 76 and 166%, respectively, compared to m-Ti3C2Tx (13.8 mg g–1 and 0.0485 mg g–1 s–1). Besides, it is established that the ion adsorption process of Ti3C2Tx/C is more accurately described by the second-order kinetic module.

Non-precious metal electrocatalysts (such as Fe–N–C materials) for the oxygen (O 2 ) reduction reaction demand a high catalyst loading in fuel cell devices to achieve workable performance. However, the extremely low solubility of O 2 in water creates severe mass transport resistance in the thick catalyst layer of Fe–N–C catalysts. Here, we introduce silicalite-1 nanocrystals with hydrophobic cavities as sustainable O 2 reservoirs to overcome the mass transport issue of Fe–N–C catalysts. The extra O 2 supply to the adjacent catalysts significantly alleviated the negative effects of the severe mass transport resistance. The hybrid catalyst (Fe–N–C@silicalite-1) achieved a higher limiting current density than Fe–N–C in the half-cell test. In the H 2 –O 2 and H 2 –air proton exchange membrane fuel cells, Fe–N–C@silicalite-1 exhibited a 16.3% and 20.2% increase in peak power density compared with Fe–N–C, respectively. The O 2 -concentrating additive provides an effective approach for improving the mass transport imposed by the low solubility of O 2 in water.

The hydrogenation of bio-based oil into biodiesel is a key strategy in reducing reliance on fossil fuels. However, efficient catalysts are needed to enable low-temperature hydrogenation reactions due to the current high-temperature requirement for bio-based oil hydrogenation. Here, bimetallic catalysts Rex-Ru/C for low-temperature hydrogenation of bio-based oils were prepared. The presence of Re oxides (ReOx) in the catalyst enhances the abundance of weak and medium acid sites, thereby facilitating the adsorption of H2. The DFT calculation shows the introduction of Re also improved the adsorption capacity of the catalyst for fatty acid methyl ester and H2. The Re0.25-Ru/C catalyst exhibits superior conversion, selectivity, and recyclability at low temperatures compared to the previously reported catalysts, achieving 100% conversion of methyl stearate with 100% selectivity toward n-heptadecane (C17) and n-octadecane (C18) (reaction conditions: 150°C, 4 h, 2.5 MPa H2). Moreover, the catalyst also shows excellent hydrogenation activity toward various fatty acids or esters, including methyl palmitate, stearic acid, and palmitate at low temperatures. The Re0.25-Ru/C catalyst showed consistent recycling performance over 9 cycles. The decline in catalytic performance of the catalyst was primarily caused by a reduction in ReOx content, resulting in a decrease in acid site concentration. Consequently, there was reduced adsorption of H2 and oil on the catalyst.

Oil pollution poses severe threats to both ecosystems and human health. This study utilized electrospinning and carbonization processes to fabricate a SiO2-TiO2-C nanofiber membrane (STCNFM) exhibiting photocatalytic self-cleaning properties designed explicitly for oil-water separation. These membranes possess nanoscale rough structures, endowing them with superoleophilicity (0°) and hydrophobicity (138°). Addressing the limitations associated with traditional ceramic membranes, particularly in terms of stability and reproducibility, cyclic experiments confirm the significant stability and reproducibility of this composite membrane, ensuring reliable long-term applications for continuous oil-water separation. Leveraging the synergistic effect of TiO2 and the carbon fiber substrate, STCNFMs-5 demonstrate exceptional separation performance and notable self-cleaning capabilities. Following a 2-h exposure to ultraviolet light, the membrane's flux is restored to its original level. STCNFMs offer a promising solution for efficiently separating oil-water mixtures and emulsions, holding potential importance in water treatment and resource recovery endeavors.

ABSTRACT Quantitative determination of tetracycline (TC) in environment and foods is of great importance, as excessive residues might have negative effects on human health and environmental risks. Herein, a self-powered molecularly imprinted photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor based on the ZnO/C photoanode and the Fe-doped CuBi 2 O 4 (CBFO) photocathode is developed for the sensitive detection of TC. The photocathodic current can be amplified by the efficient electron transfer caused by the Fermi energy level gap between the photoanode and photocathode. Furthermore, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) at photocathode can selectivity identify the TC templates and thus improve the specificity. Under the optimal conditions, the sensor has a linear range of 10 ‒2 -1.0 × 10 5 nmol/L, and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.007 nmol/L (S/N = 3). More crucially, the milk sample detection is carried out using the as-prepared sensor, and the outcome is satisfactory. The research gives us a novel sensing platform for quick and accurate antibiotic (like TC) in environment and food monitoring.

Curcumin has been widely employed in various fields, but excessive intake may cause tissue necrosis and pose a serious threat to people’s lives and health. Hence, it is crucial to rapidly and precisely detect the content of curcumin. In present research, CdS@C heterostructure materials were successfully prepared through a one-pot solvothermal reaction strategy, utilizing glucose as the carbon source. Simultaneously, polydopamine thin films (ePDA) were successfully deposited on the surface of CdS@C-modified electrodes by the cyclic voltammetry (CV) method. A photoelectrochemical sensor based on the polydopamine membrane-coated CdS@C core–shell heterostructure (ePDA/CdS@C) was designed for curcumin detection. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometers (UV-vi) techniques were applied to characterize the structure and morphology of the synthesized photoelectric materials. The ePDA coating enhances the stability of the CdS@C material, and the CdS@C core-shell heterostructure accelerates electron transfer. Consequently, the ePDA/CdS@C material generates an outstanding and steady photocurrent response. Under ideal conditions, the novel sensor exhibits a satisfactory linear response to curcumin detection within the concentration range of 0.025–370 μM, with a detection limit as low as 0.0165 μM. Additionally, the ePDA/CdS@C-based photoelectrochemical aptasensor displays remarkable reproducibility, stability, and selectivity. This innovative sensing platform accurately detects curcumin in human serum and urine samples, with an excellent recovery range (99.47 %–103.60 %) and relatively low RSD values (1.49 %–3.56 %). In conclusion, this work offers a novel approach for curcumin detection.
