A simple and one-step microwave digestion method was utilized to synthesize the highly photoluminescent glucosamine derived nitrogen and zinc doped carbon dots (N, Zn-CDs) with a bluish-green luminescence property. The synthesized N, Zn-CDs inherited a good photoluminescence property with a quantum yield of 74% and which were characterized by XPS , XRD , TEM , FT-IR, UV–Vis, and fluorescence spectrometry . More importantly, N, Zn-CDs served as a fluorescence sensor for the detection of Fe 3+ ions, under optimal conditions, a good linear relationship was established in the concentration range of 0.25–125 μM. Also, the experimental results showed the detection limit of N, Zn-CDs against Fe 3+ was 0.15 μM, this could be a promising assay for sensing Fe 3+ ions. Also, the role of zinc doping was explored by conducting the detection under similar experimental conditions in the absence of zinc, and reports revealed that the reason for high photoluminescence was due to the zinc doping. Along with the sensing application, our group had investigated the bactericidal property of synthesized N, Zn-CDs against gram-negative ( Escherichia coli ), and gram-positive pathogens ( Staphylococcus aureus ). N, Zn-CDs displayed good bactericidal activity against both pathogens under light conditions, but Escherichia coli , even under the dark condition proved its activity. Besides, the morphology of both the strains was displayed before and after the treatment via a scanning electron microscopic images. Also, a plausible mechanism for bactericidal activity was also explained. The reported synthesis method could provide a novel approach for the design of high photoluminescent N, Zn–CDs with good sensing and bactericidal property towards Fe 3+ ions, gram-negative and positive bacterial strains .

As the first reported examples of borates in the Zn–Sc–B–O system, Ba2ZnSc(BO3)3 and Ba4Zn5Sc2(BO3)8 were synthesized through a high-temperature solution method. The structure of Ba2ZnSc(BO3)3 can be described as ZnO4 tetrahedra connecting ScO6 octahedra to form a [ZnScO9]13− dimer, which further bonds with seven BO3 triangles to form a 2∞[ZnSc(BO3)3] layer, and the Ba atoms distribute in the voids between the layers. In contrast, in Ba4Zn5Sc2(BO3)8, Zn–O chains composed of 4- and 6-coordinated Zn atoms link with Sc2O8 dimers to form a Zn–Sc–O layer, and the BO3 triangles and Ba atoms fill in the voids between the layers. Interestingly, the special [Zn2(BO3)6]14− cluster is found in Ba2ZnSc(BO3)3, which is different from the 2D layers or 3D frameworks of the Zn–B–O configurations in other zincoborates. Moreover, the lowest-coordinated ScO5 polyhedra, as well as the coexistence of two types of ZnOn units (n = 4 and 6), are observed for the first time in Ba4Zn5Sc2(BO3)8. These fascinating results can promote the design of novel borates with BO3 units and enrich the borate structure chemistry.

In this study, a mechanochemical route to promote the adsorption of the precursor of Zn-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) was introduced, in which ZnO and SiO 2 were added to Zn basic carbonate and Al hydroxide that were first dry milled into an activated state as a precursor for a LDH phase. The samples prepared in this way were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The precursors showed a high adsorption rate when added with the oxides. 10% addition of ZnO gave a maximum MO removal efficiency of 96.91% (193.82 mg/g at initial MO concentration of 160 mg/L), 16.46% higher than the sample without addition. Addition of SiO 2 at 25% allowed MO removal efficiency reaching 88.90% (222.25 mg/g, at initial MO concentration of 200 mg/L), 19.26% higher than the no additive sample. The improvement in the adsorption performance could be attributed to the effective dispersion of the precursor's agglomeration phenomenon. Discussion was performed based on the characterized features of the samples and fitting results on several adsorption models.

A non-phosgene route for the synthesis of hexamethylene-1,6-diisocyanate (HDI) was developed via catalytic decomposition of hexamethylene-1,6-dicarbamate (HDC) over Zn–Co bi-metallic supported ZSM-5 catalyst. The catalyst was characterized by FTIR and XRD analyses. Three solvents dioctyl sebacate (DOS), dibutyl sebacate (DBS) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIMBF 4 ) were investigated and compared; DOS gave better performance. The catalytic performances for thermal decomposition of HDC to HDI using DOS as solvent were then investigated, and the results showed that, under the optimized reaction conditions, i.e. ,10 wt% concentration of HDC in DOS, 250 °C temperature, 60 min reaction time, 83.8% yield of HDI had been achieved over Zn–Co/ZSM-5. Decomposition of the intermediate hexamethylene-1-carbamate-6-isocyanate (HMI) over Zn–Co/ZSM-5 in DOS solvent was further studied and the results indicated that yield of HDI from HMI reached to 69.6% (98.6% HDI selectively) at 270 °C, which further increased the yield of the total HDI (HDI tol ) to as high as 95.0%. Recycling of catalyst showed that HDI and HMI yield slightly decreased, and by-product yield increased after the catalyst was reused for 4 times. At last possible reaction mechanism was proposed.

Reactions of Zn(II) salts, 5-(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)-1H-tetrazolate (HIPT) and 2-mercaptobenzoic acid or 2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (H3PrIDC), result in two mixed-ligand coordination polymers (CPs), [Zn2(IPT)(DSDB)(OH)]n (H2DSDB = 2,2′-disulfanediyldibenzoic acid, 1) and [Zn2(IPT)(PrIDC)(H2O)]n (H3PrIDC = 2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid, 2). Compound 1 possesses a 2-D structure built by 1-D [Zn(IPT)]n chains and DSDB2− connectors, in which the DSDB2− is generated via in situ reaction from 2-mercaptobenzoic acid. It displays a new intricate 4-nodal {3·4·6·7·8·9}{3·6·7·8·9·10}{3·8·9}{4·6·8} topology. Compound 2 displays a 3-D framework with new 3-connected topology with Schläfli symbol of (4·8·10) (8·122), in which the 1-D Zn-carboxylate chains were bridged by 3-connected IPT− ligands. The thermal stabilities and luminescence properties of 1 and 2 have also been studied. The compounds exhibit intense solid-state fluorescent emissions at room temperature.

Toxicity of engineered nanoparticles on organisms is of concern worldwide due to their extensive use and unique properties. The impacts of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on seed germination and root elongation of corn ( Zea mays L.) and cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L.) were investigated in this study. The role of seed coats of corn in the mitigation toxicity of nanoparticles was also evaluated. ZnO NPs (1,000 mg L −1 ) reduced root length of corn and cucumber by 17 % ( p < 0.05) and 51 % ( p < 0.05), respectively, but exhibited no effects on germination. In comparison with Zn 2+ , toxicity of ZnO NPs on the root elongation of corn could be attributed to the nanoparticulate ZnO, while released Zn ion from ZnO could solely contribute to the inhibition of root elongation of cucumber. Zn uptake in corn exposed to ZnO NPs during germination was much higher than that in corn exposed to Zn 2+ , whereas Zn uptake in cucumber was significantly correlated with soluble Zn in suspension. It could be inferred that Zn was taken up by corn and cucumber mainly in the form of ZnO NPs and soluble Zn, respectively. Transmission electron microscope confirmed the uptake of ZnO NPs into root of corn. Although isolation of the seed coats might not be the principal factor that achieved avoidance from toxicity on germination, seed coats of corn were found to mitigate the toxicity of ZnO NPs on root elongation and prevent approximately half of the Zn from entering into root and endosperm.

Bifunctional Zn-salen complexes with multiple hydrogen bonding donors and protic ammonium bromides were developed as efficient catalysts for the formation of 4-phenyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-one from styrene oxide and CO 2 . Owing to synergistic effects of multiple sites on epoxide activation (Lewis acidic zinc, phenolic hydroxyl group and protonated tertiary ammonium able to activate epoxide and bromide anion acting as a nucleophile), the easily-synthesized Zn-salen complexes showed outstanding performance at mild reaction conditions (CO 2 0.1 MPa, 100 °C) using only 0.3 mol% catalyst amount. Besides, this protocol is applicable to a variety of epoxides including internal epoxide, giving the corresponding cyclic carbonates in good to excellent yields. Notably, 200 mmol-scale experiment was successfully conducted and TON of 49288 ± 13 and TOF of 39473 ± 8 h −1 were achieved.

A set of mono- and bimetallic (Zn-Co) supported ZSM-5 catalysts was first prepared by PEG-additive method. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were investigated by FTIR, XPS, XRD, N 2 adsorption-desorption measurements, SEM, EDS and NH 3 -TPD techniques. The physicochemical properties showed that the ZnCo 2 O 4 spinel oxide was formed on the ZSM-5 support and provided effectual synergetic effect between Zn and Co species for the bimetallic catalyst. Furthermore, bimetallic supported ZSM-5 catalyst exhibited weak, moderate and strong acidic sites, while the monometallic supported ZSM-5 catalyst showed only weak and moderate or strong acidic sites. Their catalytic performances for thermal decomposition of hexamethylene–1,6–dicarbamate (HDC) to hexamethylene–1,6–diisocyanate (HDI) were then studied. It was found that the bimetallic supported ZSM-5 catalysts, especially Zn-2Co/ZSM-5 catalyst showed excellent catalytic performance due to the good synergetic effect between Co and Zn species, which provided a suitable contribution of acidic sites. HDC conversion of 100% with HDI selectivity of 91.2% and by-products selectivity of 1.3% could be achieved within short reaction time of 2.5 h over Zn-2Co/ZSM-5 catalyst.

Cation exchange-mediated transformation from Zn-metallogels (MOGs), which was a mild facile strategy relative to the demanding hydrothermal method , was employed to develop Co 2 + metal-organic frameworks (Co-MOFs) at room temperature . The obtained Co-MOFs was of uniform octahedral morphology and possessed high activity to catalyze luminol chemiluminescence without extra oxidants. By adding cysteine, the CL emission of luminol-Co-MOFs system was further enhanced. Based on this phenomenon, Co-MOFs was utilized to build a practical sensing platform for cysteine determination. Under the optimized conditions, the relative CL intensity (ΔI) was proportional to the concentration of cysteine in the range of 2–10 μM, and the detection limit was 0.49 μM (3S/N). Moreover, the established method was applied to the determination of cysteine in commercially available pharmaceutical injections.

Lactic acid is an important platform molecule in the synthesis of a wide range of chemicals. However, in aqueous solutions without alkali, its efficient preparation via the direct catalysis of sugars is hindered by a side dehydration reaction to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural due to Brønsted acid, which originates from organic acids. Herein, we report that a previously unappreciated combination of common two metal mixed catalyst (Zn-Sn-Beta) prepared via solid-state ion exchange synergistically promoted this reaction. In water without a base, a conversion exceeding 99% for sucrose with a lactic acid yield of 54% was achieved within 2 hours at 190 °C under ambient air pressure. Studies of the acid and base properties of the Zn-Sn-Beta zeolite suggest that the introduction of Zn into the Sn-Beta zeolite sequentially enhanced both the Lewis acid and base sites and the base sites inhibited a series of side reactions related to fructose dehydration to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and its subsequent decomposition.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted growing attention in electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems (e.g., Zn-air batteries, ZABs) owing to their structural tunability, ordered porosity and high specific surface area. In this work, for the first time, the three-dimensional (3D) highly open catalyst (CNFs/CoZn-MOF@COF) possessing hierarchical porous structure and high-density active sites of uniform cobalt (Co) nanoparticles and metal-N x (M-N x , M = Co and Zn) is demonstrated, which is fabricated using electrospinning technique in combination with MOF/COF hybridization strategy and direct pyrolysis. Benefiting from the well-designed branch-leaf nanostructures, plentiful and uniform active sites on the MOF/COF-derived carbon frameworks, as well as the synergistic effect of multiple active sites, CNFs/CoZn-MOF@COF catalyst achieves superior electrocatalytic activity and stability towards both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with a small potential gap (ΔE = 0.75 V). In situ Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results indicate that the CoOOH intermediates are the main active species during OER/ORR. Significantly, both aqueous and all-solid-state rechargeable ZABs assembled with CNFs/CoZn-MOF@COF as the air cathode show high open-circuit potential, outstanding peak power density, large capacity and long cycle life. More impressively, the obtained all-solid-state ZAB also displays superb mechanical flexibility and device stability under different, showcasing great application deformations potential in portable and wearable electronics. This work provides a new insight into the design and exploitation of bifunctional catalysts from MOF/COF hybrid materials for energy storage and conversion devices.
