The development of porous carbon materials with high CO 2 adsorption capacity is crucial for addressing the current issues of industrial air pollution and global warming. In this study, B/N codoped porous carbon materials were prepared via a combined strategy involving the use of a self-sacrificing template in conjunction with potassium hydroxide activation; moreover, g-C 3 N 4 was used as the N source and boric acid was used as the B source. The pore structure and surface chemistry were investigated in detail using different techniques such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, N 2 adsorption and desorption, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Results showed that the prepared material exhibited the highest specific surface area (2278 m 2 /g) and pore volume (1.00 cm 3 /g) when the ratio of B/N sources was 1:0.5; moreover, its CO 2 adsorption value (3.26 mmol/g) was higher than those of most codoped adsorbents.

Microporous carbon materials are widely used in CO 2 adsorption because of their unique structure and excellent stability. In this work, N-doped porous carbon (NPC) with an ultramicroporous structure was prepared through the carbonization of an N-doped polymer and KOH at 600 °C, 700 °C, and 800 °C, respectively. The prepared NPC exhibited excellent CO 2 adsorption properties of up to 6.95 mmol· g −1 at 1 bar and 0 °C, and this value is considerably higher than that of the parent N-doped polymer. The excellent CO 2 adsorption performance is due to the well-defined ultramicroporous structure and high specific surface area of NPC. Moreover, these porous carbons can be combined with tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) to fix CO 2 into various cyclic carbonates, with a yield of up to 99% without any solvent. Whether the cause is the adsorption or catalytic conversion of CO 2 , NPC-700 exhibits excellent stability and can be cycled multiple times without significant reduction in its performance.

Drug solid dispersions improve the dissolution of drugs in aqueous media for enhancement of oral bioavailability. The current preparation methods of drug solid dispersions mainly involve the evaporation of solvents or the melting of drugs and matrix. Here, we create a new and simple method for the preparation of drug solid dispersions by dissolving drugs in N -vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) and then NVP photopolymerization. A variety of drugs were explored to find whether they were suitable for this method and only some of them were soluble in NVP and formed transparent and hard solid dispersions, including fluconazole, ketoconazole, bifonazole, miconazole nitrate, sulfamethoxazole, aspirin, ibuprofen and artesunate. The formation of photocuring solid dispersions was highly related to the free radical scavenging function of drugs. Those drugs with strong free radical scavenging capability, including curcumin, resveratrol, quercetin, genistein, puerarin, nicergoline, olanzapine, indomethacin, did not form solid dispersions. They scavenged 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radicals, which was demonstrated by ultraviolet spectrometry and electron spin resonance. The scavenging of free radicals stopped the chain polymerization of NVP. The Fourier transform infrared spectra, X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry of ibuprofen solid dispersions and artesunate solid dispersions showed the molecularly miscible state of the drugs and the hydrogen bonding between the drugs and polyvinyl pyrrolidone. The NVP-based solid dispersions of the two drugs had faster and more complete dissolution than their traditional solid dispersions. The NVP photopolymerization-based solid dispersion method provides a new choice for the production of solid dispersions in the research and industrial fields.

In this study, a solar-driven photocatalyst La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 /α-Fe 2 O 3 (20%) with p – n heterojunction structure was synthesized and characterized. The magnetic, photocatalytic properties, Fenton-like action and the synergistic effect of the photocatalysis and Fenton-like on methyl orange (MO) degradation of La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 /α-Fe 2 O 3 (20%) were also investigated. Results show that p – n heterojunction was formed, and it has considerable photocatalytic properties under ultraviolet light and solar irradiation. More importantly, La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 /α-Fe 2 O 3 (20%) also exhibits Fenton-like catalytic performance in the presence of H 2 O 2 and oxalic acid (OA). The main reactive radicals of the La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 /α-Fe 2 O 3 –H 2 O 2 –OA–sunlight system are h + , · OH and · O 2 − . The chemical oxygen demand removal rate of MO wastewater in La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 /α-Fe 2 O 3 (20%)–H 2 O 2 –oxalic acid–sunlight system reached 72.4%; the value was higher than that of the sum of single photocatalysis (34.5%) and Fenton-like-dark system (27.6%), indicating that there is a synergistic effect between the photocatalysis and Fenton-like on MO degradation. In addition, La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 /α-Fe 2 O 3 (20%) displays approximately superparamagnetism and has higher saturated magnetization ( M s ), low coercive force and residual magnetism. So it can be easily recovered by an external magnetic field and can be reused 6 times. It was anticipated that La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 /α-Fe 2 O 3 (20%) with p – n heterojunction structure is a stable and reusable solar-light-driven magnetic photocatalyst and has great potential applications for wastewater treatment. Graphical abstract The magnetic La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 /α-Fe 2 O 3 (20%) with p – n heterojunction structure was synthesized and characterized by different methods. The magnetic, photocatalytic properties, Fenton-like action and the synergistic effect of the photocatalysis and Fenton-like on methyl orange (MO) degradation of La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 /α-Fe 2 O 3 (20%) were also investigated. It is not only a solar-driven photocatalyst with high efficiency, but also shows excellent Fenton-like catalytic effect. And the photocatalysis and Fenton-like system exhibited synergetic catalytic effect on MO degradation by La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 /α-Fe 2 O 3 (20%). Furthermore, near superparamagnetic characteristics of the catalyst make it easy to recycle by the external magnetic field and can be reused for 6 times, suggesting that it is a stable multifunctional catalyst.

As a highly toxic substance that may be harmful to the environment and human beings, hydrazine has been paid growing attention in the field of electrochemical detection . Using the organometallic framework as a template and taking advantage of its high porosity, we prepared cobalt disulfide rhombic dodecahedral nanocomposites with nitrogen coordination and graphene coating (N-CoS 2 @graphene) in this study. Nitrogen coordination can effectively boost the intrinsic activity of the active site by modulating the electronic structure of the Co center in N-CoS 2 @graphene. The surface graphene layers not only work as protective layers to enhance stability but also promote electron transfer. It has been proved that this electrocatalyst has excellent hydrazine electrochemical sensing performance with a high sensitivity of 1580 μA mM −1 cm −2 , a low detection limit of 30 nM at S/N = 3, a linear range from 1.0 μM to 1.0 mM, and satisfactory reproducibility and stability at 0.1 V. It can be seen that this catalyst has a very attractive application prospect in an electrochemical sensor .

With the development of coal chemical industry, large amounts of naphthalene and n -butene are produced, and converting them into high value-added products through alkylation has gained particular importance and interest. In this work, liquid coordination complexes (LCCs) were used as acid catalysts for the first time in the naphthalene alkylation reaction under mild conditions to obtain multi-butylnaphthalenes with high yield. Various reaction conditions were thoroughly investigated. The LCC consisting of urea and AlCl 3 showed excellent catalytic performance under optimal reaction conditions, giving 100% conversion of naphthalene and 99.66% selectivity towards multi-butylnaphthalenes. Combining the catalyst properties and catalytic results, a plausible reaction mechanism was proposed. The lubricating properties of the synthesized products were investigated for their potential application as lubricating base oils. The synthesized multi-butylnaphthalenes showed comparable physicochemical properties and tribological performances as the commercial cycloalkyl base oil.

Chronic pain is a significant public health problem that afflicts nearly 30% of the global population, but current pharmacotherapies are insufficient. Previous report indicated that N -demethylsinomenine, an active metabolite of sinomenine, is efficacious against postoperative pain. The present study investigated whether N -demethylsinomenine is effective for chronic painful conditions or whether repeated treatment alters its effect. Both chronic constriction injury (CCI) surgery and complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) intraplantar injection induced significant and reliable mechanical allodynia at least for 7 days. Acute treatment with N -demethylsinomenine (10–40 mg/kg, i.p.) dose-dependently attenuated the mechanical allodynia both in CCI-induced neuropathic pain and CFA-induced inflammatory pain in mice. The potency of N -demethylsinomenine for reducing CFA-induced mechanical allodynia was slightly higher than sinomenine. During the period of repeated treatment, N -demethylsinomenine maintained its anti-allodynic effect against both neuropathic and inflammatory pain without producing carry-over effect. Pretreatment with bicuculline, a selective γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA A ) receptor antagonist, almost completely blocked the anti-allodynia of N -demethylsinomenine (40 mg/kg) both in CCI and CFA-treated mice. Our findings indicated that N -demethylsinomenine exhibits GABA A receptor-mediated anti-allodynic effects in mouse models of neuropathic and inflammatory pain, suggesting it may be a useful novel pharmacotherapy for the control of chronic pain.

In this study, N/O co-doped cage-type biomass carbon (NOBC) was prepared through a simple and facile hydrothermal reaction and two-step carbonization method. As the anode of a potassium ion battery, NOBC displays a superhigh long-cycling performance and a super high rate performance. NOBC-2 provides an excellent reversible capacity of 251.2 mAh g −1 after 1500 cycles at 0.5 A g −1 , and an excellent performance of 334.6 mAh g −1 at a high current density of 5 A g −1 (after 2000 cycles). The reversible capacity of 124.19 mAh g −1 can be maintained even after 5000 cycles at 10 A g −1 . The excellent performance of NOBC is attributed to the unique hollow cage structure, internal 3D carbon network structure and N/O co-doping. Based on the results of detailed fundamental analysis, the pseudo-capacitance mechanism contributes to the higher K ion storage process in NOBC-2. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further show that N/O double doping can promote the adsorption of K ions in biomass carbon materials and improve the conductivity of the materials. The simple synthesis route and excellent electrochemical performance provide new insights for the search for novel carbon-based K storage anode materials with high energy and long cycle life.

Dielectric polymers play a vital role in modern electronic and electrical application because of easy processing, light weight, and high breakdown strength. A high dielectric constant (εr) and breakdown strength cannot be satisfied simultaneously in the dielectric homopolymers. Via combining the merits of different polymers, the dielectric polymer blending method is a feasible option to address this issue. In this paper, n-type semiconductive polymer poly(1,6,7,12-tetra-chlorinated perylene-N-2-aminoethyl acrylate-N′-dodecylamine-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic bisimide) (PPDI) and relaxor ferroelectric polymer poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene) (PVTC) were utilized to prepare the dielectric polymer blends because PPDI had the characteristic of binding electrons and PVTC possessed a high εr. A series of polymer blends with different weight ratios of PPDI were fabricated to investigate the loading effect of an n-type semiconductive polymer on the dielectric and energy storage properties of PPDI/PVTC blends. The experimental results showed that, when the loading was below 3 wt %, the εr of polymer blends increased from 25 to 33 at 102 Hz with the increasing content of polymer PPDI and then decreased from 33 to 7 with the increasing concentration from 3 to 40 wt %. The dielectric behavior of polymer blends was related to the dispersion of organic fillers and interface polarization. Additionally, a low dielectric loss was found in all polymer blending films. A maximal discharge energy density of 4.42 J/cm–3 was achieved in the 4.5 wt % PPDI/PVTC blending film at 200 kV/mm–1. The finding presents an innovative idea to synthesize high-performance all-organic dielectric materials.

Heterogeneous Pd has been developed as a well-known catalyst for debenzylation reactions via hydrogenative C–N bond cleavage. However, the extensive applications are still limited owing to a high loading and usage amount of the noble metal. Herein, well-dispersed Pd nanocatalysts over TiO2 were explored with a deposition–precipitation method and characterized by FESEM, physical adsorption, XRD, TEM, and XPS. It was proposed that the ultrasmall and electron-rich Pd nanoparticles can be enhanced over TiO2 rather than C, Al2O3, or SiO2. As representatives, the debenzylations of hexabenzylhexaazaisowurtzitane (HBIW) and tetraacetyldibenzylhexaazaisowurtzitane (TADBIW), which are key steps for the synthesis of CL-20 with the highest energy and density, were selected to evaluate the catalytic performances. It was found that Pd/TiO2 exhibited considerably low usage with high yields in the debenzylation processes of not only HBIW (1 wt ‰) but also TADBIW (4 wt ‰). Meanwhile, the superior catalytic activities can be maintained in the different reaction scales and can be repeated for TADBIW hydrodebenzylation. Hence, Pd nanoparticles supported on TiO2 can be considered to be suitable catalysts for highly efficient catalytic synthesis for hydrogenative C–N bond cleavage.

Abstract In addition to traditional metal oxides, N-containing compound would become efficient catalyst for H 2 S selective oxidation. TaON and Ta 3 N 5 , taking as examples, with porous structure are able to selectively oxidize H 2 S into sulfur. TaON exhibits ca. 99% H 2 S conversion and ca. 89% sulfur selectivity at 250 ℃, while Ta 3 N 5 exhibits near complete H 2 S conversion (~ 100%) and 86% sulfur selectivity at 250 ℃. TaON of lower N content shows higher sulfur selectivity (~ 90–100%) above 130 ℃, compared with that (~ 86–95%) over Ta 3 N 5 . Whereas, Ta 3 N 5 of higher N content demonstrates higher H 2 S conversion (~ 30–40%) below 160 ℃, compared with that (~ 6–30%) over TaON. Temperature programmed desorption results show that Ta 3 N 5 owns larger amount of acid sites and weaker basic sites than TaON. Over Ta 3 N 5 , the reactant molecules could dissociatively adsorb on acid sites more frequently and could be easier to move across the weaker basic sites, thus increasing probability for reaction at low temperature. Manipulating both cations and anions in N-containing compound can alter surface property for optimization of selective H 2 S oxidation. Graphic Abstract

Expanding the optical absorption range of photocatalysts is still a key endeavor in graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) studies. Here, we report on a novel thiophene group extending the optical property, which is assigned to n-π* electronic transitions involving the two lone pairs on sulfur (TLPS). The as-prepared samples, denoted as CN-ThA x (where x indicates the amount of ThA added, mg), showed an additional absorption above 500 nm as compared to pristine g-C 3 N 4 . Further, the thiophene group enhanced charge carrier separation to suppress e − /h + pair recombination. The experimental results suggest that the thiophene group can obstruct the polymerization of melem to generate a large plane, thus exposing the lone electron pairs on the sulfur. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated in the decomposition of bisphenol A and H 2 evolution. Compared with g-C 3 N 4 , the optimized CN-ThA 30 sample led to a 6.6- and 2-fold enhancement of the degradation and H 2 generation rates, respectively. The CN-ThA 30 sample allowed for synchronous H 2 production and BPA decomposition.
