Background The accumulation of antibiotics in water systems has received considerable global attention due to its detrimental effects. There is an urgent need to develop rapid and efficient methods for the degradation of antibiotics. Methods In this work, a highly efficient AgFeO 2 /Ag 3 VO 4 photocatalyst was successfully fabricated by a hydrothermal method and analyzed using different techniques. Under visible light irradiation, photocatalytic behavior of AgFeO 2 /Ag 3 VO 4 heterojunctions in the degradation of levofloxacin is investigated. Significant findings The results showed that p-n heterojunction was formed between AgFeO 2 and Ag 3 VO 4 , which improved the separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carrier under the action of the internal electric field. The apparent reaction rate of AgFeO 2 /Ag 3 VO 4 heterostructure toward degradation of levofloxacin reached to 0.2770 min −1 , which was about 2.15 times and 36.73 times larger than those of Ag 3 VO 4 and AgFeO 2 , respectively, and much larger than other counterparts. Furthermore, possible photocatalytic degradation pathway of levofloxacin was comprehensively determined by LC-MS analysis. This work would provide in-depth understanding on the efficient photocatalytic removal of antibiotics for sustainable environmental remediation.

Synthesis of highly-crystallized ZSM-48 zeolite with low SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratio was successfully performed via seed-assisted route. The influence of various factors on the seed-assisted synthesis was investigated systematically, including the seeds dosages, different seeds species, adding order of seeds, hydrothermal temperature and time, silica and aluminum sources, and gel compositions. The crystallinity, morphology, textural and acidic properties of ZSM-48 were characterized by various techniques, such as XRD , SEM, FTIR, Py-IR, N 2 physisorption , 29 Si and 27 Al MAS NMR. Aluminum sources posed a critical influence on the crystallinity with NaAlO 2 more beneficial to obtain well-crystallized ZSM-48, whereas the crystallinity seemed slightly susceptible to silica sources. SEM results revealed that the crystal size was significantly reduced from ca. 20 μm to around 2 μm after introduced the seeds. Kinetic analysis suggested that the added seeds can significantly reduce the apparent activation energy of nucleation and crystallization, encourage the formation of crystal nuclei and promote crystallization. The Pt-supported seed-assisted samples exhibited considerably higher density of acid sites than that loaded on seed-free sample. The hydroisomerization of n -hexadecane was investigated over various Pt-supported catalysts, and the Pt-supported seed-assisted samples exhibited the highest i-C 16 yield of ca. 75 wt% at conversion over 87 wt%.

To enhance the efficiency of photocatalytic H 2 evolution, numerous methods are employed by increasing the utilization of photogenerated charge carriers (PCCs), including catalyst design, defect regulation, and selection of suitable H + resources. Using self-assembly method, CoWO 4 /Zn x Cd 1−x S with p–n heterojunction was synthesized. Although CoWO 4 (CW) cannot produce H 2 under visible light irradiation, it can provide photogenerated electrons (e − ) to Zn 0.3 Cd 0.7 S (ZCS), and largely increase the photocatalytic activity of ZCS. The optimal CW/ZCS composite can reach 15.58 mmol·g −1 ·h −1 , which is 45.8 and 24.3 times higher than the values of the pure CdS and ZCS, respectively. The largely enhanced photocatalytic H 2 production is attributed to the Zn vacancies (V Zn ), p–n heterojunction, and p-chlorobenzyl alcohol (Cl–PhCH 2 OH) as the H + source of H 2 production. V Zn on the ZCS surface as the capture center of photogenerated holes (h + ), can regulate the carrier distribution, which results in more photogenerated e − and less generated h + . The combination of p–n heterojunction and V Zn can enhance the separation and transfer efficiency of PCCs, and effectively inhibit the recombination of charge carriers. To further improve the utilization rate of PCCs, the photocatalytic H 2 evolution is proceeded by Cl–PhCH 2 OH oxidation in N , N -dimethylformamide solution, with 4-chlorobenzaldehyde (Cl–PhCHO) generated. The separated photogenerated e − and h + both participated in the redox reaction of H + reduction and Cl–PhCH 2 OH oxidation, considering that the amount of H 2 and Cl–PhCHO products are close to 1:1. This work not only facilitates the separation and transfer of PCCs, but also provides directions for the design of efficient photocatalysts and H 2 evolution in the organic phase.

Developing highly efficient noble-metal-free bifunctional nanocatalysts for electrocatalytic water splitting is attractive but challenging. Notably, the rational structure engineering could effectively promote electronic transfer and improve the active area. Herein, a free-standing N-doped porous carbon nanosheet arrays encapsulated with metallic Co nanoparticles electrocatalyst (Co@NC-A) for overall water splitting was designed via pyrolysis process followed with acid treatment. The N-doped carbon matrix not only enhances electron mobility and protects the metallic Co nanoparticles from electrolyte corrosion, but also improves the electrochemically active area and facilitates mass transfer. Consequently, the Co@NC-A exhibits superior electrocatalytic performance toward OER ( η 10 = 270 mV) and HER ( η 10 = 162 mV) in 1 M KOH. Moreover, the Co@NC-A as a bifunctional catalyst in overall water splitting could approach 10 mA cm −2 at a cell voltage of 1.66 V and operate stably for 50 h. Combined with the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the improvement of the HER and OER activities is also attributed to the modified electronic structure with N-doped carbon and the optimized free energy toward the adsorption/desorption of intermediates. This work provides a novel and facile non-precious metal catalyst for water splitting and should be instructive for designing more carbon-based nanocatalysts.

It is urgent to develop novel anode materials with high energy density and facile synthetic procedures, since the development of commercial lithium ions batteries (LIBs) is limited by the unsatisfied capacity of graphite. Herein, we propose a modified method to prepare core-shell structured ZIF-8 derived N-doped carbon/silicon (Si@NC) composites (6.6 wt% of nano-Si), featuring facile synthetic procedures and mild condition. The physicochemical properties of the ZIF-8 derived N-doped carbon are not changed when the nano-Si particles are employed as the seeds. The Si@NC composites deliver high reversible capacity of 724 mAh g −1 . Attributed to the good charge conductivity and structural stability of the ZIF-8 derived N-doped carbon, the Si@NC composites exhibit good rate performance (98.5% of the initial average capacity is retained after being cycled at different current density) and cycle stability (302 mAh g −1 while that of commercial graphite is ~10 mAh g −1 at 1000 mA g −1 after 800 cycles). The enhancement of lithium storage capability of the ZIF-8 derived N-doped carbon shows promising application in high energy density LIBs.

Sialylated N-glycan isomers with α-2,3 and α-2,6 linkages play crucial and distinctive roles in diverse physiological and pathological processes. Changes of α-2,3-linked sialic acids in sialylated N-glycans are especially important in monitoring the initiation and progression of diseases. However, the specific analysis of α-2,3-sialylated N-glycan linkage isomers remains challenging due to their extremely low abundance and technical limitations in separation and detection. Herein, we designed an integrated strategy that combines linkage-specific derivatization and a charge-sensitive separation method based on microfluidic chip capillary electrophoresis–mass spectrometry (microchip CE–MS) for specific analysis of α-2,3-sialylated N-glycan linkage isomers for the first time. The α-2,6- and α-2,3-sialic acids were selectively labeled with methylamine (MA) and N,N-dimethylethylenediamine (DMEN), respectively, which selectively makes α-2,3-sialylated N-glycans positively charged and realizes online purification, concentration, and discrimination of α-2,3-sialylated N-glycans from other N-glycans in microchip CE–MS. This new approach was demonstrated with standard multisialylated N-glycans, and it was found that only the α-2,3-sialylated N-glycans migrated and were detected in order according to the number of α-2,3-sialic acids. Finally, this strategy was successfully applied in highly sensitive profiling and reproducible quantitation of the serum α-2,3-sialylated N-glycome from ovarian cancer (OC) patients, where 7 of 33 detected α-2,3-sialylated N-glycans significantly changed in the OC group compared with healthy controls.

In this study, an alkali freeze–thaw pretreatment protocol was investigated to efficiently enhance enzymatic hydrolysis of chitin into N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) at high concentrations. The optimal conditions for alkali freeze–thaw treatment of chitin were determined to be an alkali concentration of 8% (w/v), a temperature of −25 °C, twice freeze–thaw cycles in 12 h, and a substrate concentration of 4% (w/v). This treatment caused chitin powder to acquire a visible fibrillar structure, with scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis showing that the surface of chitin changes from a dense structure to a nanofibrillar structure (diameter 30–50 nm) with increased surface areas after the treatment. Moreover, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction, and intrinsic viscosity analysis revealed that the crystallinity, molecular weight, and thermal stability of the chitin decreased upon pretreatment without alteration of the chemical structure or deacetylation. Interestingly, facile recovery of the alkali solution can be realized after the precipitation of chitin via boiling and centrifugation, and the recovered alkali aqueous solution can be reused without decreasing the subsequent treatment effect. Additionally, the GlcNAc concentrations from the fed-batch enzymatic hydrolysis of chitin treated with KOH and NaOH can reach up to 75 g L−1 and 68 g L−1 over 18 h, respectively. Thus, this work demonstrates a clean, sustainable, and efficient procedure to convert chitin into GlcNAc.

Metal-supported catalyst with high activity and relatively simple preparation method is given priority to industrial production. In this work, this study reported an easily accessible synthesis strategy to prepare Mott-Schottky-type N-doped carbon encapsulated metallic Co (Co@Np+gC) catalyst by high-temperature pyrolysis method in which carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and dopamine were used as support and nitrogen source. The prepared Co@Np+gC presented a Mott-Schottky effect; that is, a strong electronic interaction of metallic Co and N-doped carbon shell was constructed to lead to the generation of Mott-Schottky contact. The metallic Co, due to high work function as compared to that of N-doped carbon, transferred electrons to the N-doped outer shell, forming a new contact interface. In this interface area, the positive and negative charges were redistributed, and the catalytic hydrogenation mainly occurred in the area of active charges. The Co@Np+gC catalyst showed excellent catalytic activity in the hydrogenation of phenylacetylene to styrene, and the selectivity of styrene reached 82.4%, much higher than those of reference catalysts. The reason for the promoted semi-hydrogenation of phenylacetylene was attributed to the electron transfer of metallic Co, as it was caused by N doping on carbon.Keywords:cobalt catalyst;N-doped carbon;Mott-Schottky effect;catalytic hydrogenation;phenylacetylene

Seven organic-inorganic hybrids [(H2L1)3(Bi2Br9)(BiBr6)(H2O)] (1) (L1 = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine), [(HL2)3(SbCl5)] · Cl (2) (L2 = 4-chlorobenzylamine), [(HL3)3(SbCl4)] · Cl2 (3) (L3 = 2,6-dimethylaniline), [(HL3)2(ZnCl4)] · 2H2O (4), [(HL4)4(Bi2Br10)] (5) (L4 = 2-methylquinoline), [(HL4)2(SbCl5)] (6) and [(H2L5)2(SbCl5)2] · H2O (7) (L5 = bis(N-imidazolyl)methane) were prepared and characterized by IR, XRD, EA and TG analysis. XRD analysis told that all complexes were built from non-covalent bonds between the cations and the perhalometallates anions. The lattice H2O also played crucial role in structure extension in the respective hybrids.Extensive intermolecular interactions have been used in the self-assembly of diverse motifs, ranging from strong X-H···Y (X = O, N; Y = Br, Cl, O) H-bonds to weak CH-M (M = Cl, Br), CH2-M (M = Cl, Br), CH3-M (M = O, Cl, Br), CH3-CH3/CH3-CH/CH2-CH/CH-CH, Cl-Cl, CH3-π and π-π associations. Among them, 3 D architectures are found in 1–2 and 4–7, but only 2 D motif is appeared in 3. The arrangements of the anions and cations in the solid mode are ruled not only by the size and symmetry of the cations, but also by the non-covalent bonds in the crystals.

Increasing electromagnetic (EM) radiation has driven the rapid development of carbon-based EM wave absorption materials, but the design of light-weight and efficient carbon-based materials remains a huge challenge. Herein, N -doped carbon fibers embedded with CoNi alloy particles (CoNi/C fibers) were synthesized via electrospinning technology and carbonization . Then, conductive polypyrrole-coated CoNi/C fibers (CoNi/C@PPy composites) were synthesized by chemical polymerization. As-synthesized CoNi/C@PPy composites showed outstanding EM wave absorption property due to the synergistic effect between CoNi, N -doped carbon fibers and PPy. The optimal reflection loss (RL) is -68.78 dB (12.90 GHz) with the thickness of 2.43 mm and the low filler loading of 15 wt%. The widest effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) is 5.62 GHz with the thickness of 2.10 mm and the low filler loading of 20 wt%. The outstanding EM wave absorption property is mainly attributed to 3D network structure, great impedance matching and strong dielectric loss. The results showed that embedding magnetic alloy particles in carbon fibers coated with conductive polymers is an effective strategy for constructing efficient lightweight EM wave absorption materials.

In this study, sulfated zirconia with loading of platinum (Pt) and platinum alumina (PA-Al 2 O 3 ) promoted sulfated zirconia (SZ) catalysts were synthesized by hydro-thermal route. The samples were characterized by XRD, BET, FT-IR, NH 3 -TPD, and TGA. The catalytic efficiency of all the synthesized catalysts was tested on the isomerization of n -butane. The results indicated that the conversion of n -butane (71.04%), selectivity to i -butane (98.96%), and yield of i -butane (70.30%) is significantly high for PA/SZ sample than that of Pt modified SZ and bare SZ. The results of this study suggest that the SZ modified by Pt/Al 2 O 3 (PA) provided better catalytic performance and higher stability (within 25 h of TOS), when compared with SZ, and Pt-modified SZ.
