In this study, a green and effective stepwise catalytic system for cellulose conversion to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is reported. In a pretreatment process, very fast (15 min) dissolution of cellulose was achieved at a low temperature of 70 °C, utilizing ZnBr 2 ·4H 2 O as the best dissolution solvent, which to improve the reactivity of cellulase for raw cellulose and increase efficiency of cellulose degradation. Enzyme-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers (Cellulase@β-glucosidase/Zn 3 (PO 4 ) 2 -NF and Glucose isomerase@Zn 3 (PO 4 ) 2 -NF) with different morphological structures were prepared to act as biocatalyst in the sequential conversion of pretreated cellulose to glucose and glucose to fructose. HCl was applied catalyst for dehydration of fructose to 5-HMF in a water/tert-butanol biphasic system. Under optimal reaction conditions, the yield of 5-HMF for the overall reaction from cellulose was about 21.6%. A feasibility route for green conversion of cellulose to 5-HMF is reported.

The practical implementation of Zn-based flow batteries encounters the challenges associated with uneven deposition of Zn ions and undesirable side reactions. Here, a hybrid Zn-based electrolyte system composed of ZnBr 2 , ethylene glycol (EG), H 2 O and potassium gluconate (KGlu) is developed as anolyte to modulate the solvation structure and interface engineering for a sustainable Zn-based flow battery. The EG molecules could exclude water molecules outside the solvation structure, inhibiting the water-induced side reactions and Zn corrosion. Moreover, the incorporation of potassium gluconate constructs an artificial stable anionic interface for dendrite-free Zn deposition. Chemical stability and hydrogen evolution potential tests demonstrate that the activity of water molecules could be suppressed in the EG-containing hybrid electrolyte. Deposition morphologies and Zn//Zn symmetric flow battery tests also reveal that gluconate anions preferentially adsorbed on zinc anode could effectively facilitate uniform zinc deposition. As a result, the Zn-based flow battery with the proposed hybrid electrolyte delivers a stable cycling performance over 200 cycles and high reversibility with an average CE of over 97.4 % at 20 mA cm −2 , exhibiting a peak power density of 103.2 mW cm −2 . This work provides a universal electrolyte design strategy for realizing a sustainable Zn-based flow battery.

Oleylamine/oleic acid (OAm/OA) as the commonly used ligand is indispensable in the synthesis of perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs). Unfortunately, poor colloidal stability and unsatisfactory photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) are observed, resulting from a highly dynamic binding nature between ligands. Herein, we adopt a facile hybrid ligand (DDAB/ZnBr2) passivation strategy to reconstruct the surface chemistry of CsPbBr3 NCs. The hybrid ligand can detach the native surface ligand, in which the acid–base reactions between ligands are suppressed effectively. Also, they can substitute the loose capping ligand, anchor to the surface firmly, and supply sufficient halogens to passivate the surface trap, realizing an exceptional PLQY of 95% and an enhanced tolerance toward ambient storage, UV irradiation, anti-solvents, and thermal treatment. Besides, the as-fabricated white light-emitting diode (WLED) utilizing the PNCs as the green-emitting phosphor has a luminous efficiency around 73 lm/W; the color gamut covers 125% of the NTSC standard.

A type of clay-supported catalysts were developed for conversion of CO 2 by encapsulating ZnBr 2 -based Lewis acidic ionic liquids (ZnBr 2 /IL) in halloysite (Hal) via a one-step strategy. The Lewis acidic ionic liquid was loaded within enlarged lumens of Hal via acid treatment, and the mesoporous structure was found to benefit for CO 2 storage/conversion. The composite ZnBr 2 /IL@P-Hal was found to have an adsorption capacity (6.43 cm 3 /g) of CO 2 via adsorption/desorption isotherm measurements. The composite ZnBr 2 /IL@P-Hal showed excellent catalytic performance (TOF value was 1747.7 h −1 ) for coupling of CO 2 with epoxides to produce propylene carbonate under the lack of any cocatalyst . Kinetic investigations indicated the reaction followed an order of one, with respect to catalyst ZnBr 2 /IL@P-Hal. The overall pathway of CO 2 cycloaddition was theoretically validated via DFT calculations. These experimental and computational efforts deepen comprehension of the rational design of clay-based catalysts for CO 2 cycloaddition, further elucidated halloysite was a promising support.

Redox electrochemical capacitors , using soluble redox couples to utilize the “dead weight” of the electrolyte to add faradaic charge, are considered as an effective strategy to increase the energy storage capacity of the electro-chemical double-layer capacitors. In this work, we report a new aqueous dual-redox electrochemical capacitor, using Zn 2+ /Zn as the anolyte and Br 3 ˉ/Brˉ as the catholyte. The electrolyte contains 1 M ZnBr 2 , 0.1 M TPABr and 2 M Zn(OTf) 2 . The theoretical voltage gap of the two redox couples is larger than 1.7 V, which is expected to be an advantage for higher specific energy. Tetrapropyl ammonium cation (TPA + ) has been used as a complex agent to solve the Br 3 ˉ cross diffusion issue. To avoid the generation of [TPA] 2 [ZnBr 4 ] precipitation, an appropriate amount of Zn(OTf) 2 has been added to the electrolyte to adjust the Zn/Br ratio. After adding these two additives, the coulombic efficiency of the dual-redox EC has been increased from 90% to 99%, and the open-circuit voltage loss (24 h) has been dropped from 31% to 5%. The newly configured Zn/OTf/TPA/Br redox EC exhibits a specific energy of 110 W h/kg at 1 A/g, a high power density (7 kW/kg) and stable cycling over 6000 cycles.
