A number of M-Cu-ZSM-5 (M = La, Ni, La-Ni) samples were prepared via an aqueous solution ion-exchange method. The co-doping with Ni and La into a Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst enhanced the NO decomposition activity in a temperature range 350–550 °C. The characterization results indicate that doping with La effectively improved the dispersion of the Cu species forming more Cu 2+ ions in the sample, while the effect of Ni is likely to facilitate the implantation of Cu 2+ to form (Cu 2+ -O 2– -Cu 2+ ) 2+ dimers. The synergistic effect of La and Ni contributes to the increased (Cu 2+ -O 2− -Cu 2+ ) 2+ content in the co-doped sample, thus enhancing the NO decomposition activity.

Dual catalysts are proposed in this study to convert biomass pyrolysis vapors into aromatics. Metal oxides (CaO, Al 2 O 3 , and ZnO) and ZSM-5 were introduced into the catalytic upgrading process. In the pyrolysis process without ZSM-5, the addition of CaO effectively removed carboxylic organics and methoxyphenols, reducing the product yield with a hydrogen to carbon ratio of 0, and the size of phenol compounds. The addition of Al 2 O 3 greatly promoted the cracking of oxygenates with molecular weight above 109 g mol −1 , such as large-size methoxyphenols and sugars. It is found that the upgraded pyrolysis volatiles are more conducive to conversion for aromatics with a ZSM-5 catalyst. The addition of CaO increased the selectivity of xylene (15.9%), while Al 2 O 3 promoted the selectivity of toluene (18.3%). The highest yield of aromatics was obtained with CaO-ZSM-5 dual catalyst system, which was boosted by 6.14% compared to that of pure ZSM-5. To explore more effective methods for aromatics production, the arrangement of catalysts and temperature condition were investigated. Mixing CaO with biomass produced more aromatics than other methods, and the most suitable temperature for the formation of aromatic hydrocarbons was 600 °C.

A series of low-cost α-Ni(OH) 2 /SiO 2 catalysts were successfully fabricated by the vapor-induced internal hydrolysis method, then the hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) was investigated by using the ethanol as the hydrogen donor over these as-prepared α-Ni(OH) 2 /SiO 2 catalysts. Based on the reaction results, these as-prepared catalysts, which could dispense with extra pre-reduction treatment before reactions, exhibited superior catalytic performance for the HMF hydrogenation to BHMF. A remarkable intrinsic selectivity of BHMF selectivity of almost 100% with about 90% HMF conversion could be obtained under 195 °C for 5 h in an N 2 atmosphere over the α-Ni(OH) 2 /SiO 2 catalyst of 5-Ni(OH) 2 /SiO 2 with about 5 wt% Ni on SiO 2 . The almost constant HMF conversion and BHMF intrinsic selectivity found from the recycling tests can indicate that the catalyst was stable without the obvious loss of its catalytic activity after recycling. Moreover, the mechanism of HMF hydrogenation using ethanol over the α-Ni(OH) 2 /SiO 2 catalysts could be referred to as the mechanism of the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reaction. This work will provide a simple synthesis method for future design and development of high-performance, low-cost, and low-energy consumption catalysts for HMF hydrogenation to BHMF.

A core-shell composite consisting of ZSM-5 zeolite as the core and ordered mesoporous silica as the shell was prepared by a surfactant-controlled sol-gel process and using tetradecylamine (TDA) as the template and Tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) as the silica precursor. The pores of the silica shell were found to be ordered and perpendicular to the crystal faces of the zeolite core. The thickness of the shell in the core-shell structured composite can be adjusted in the range of 20–90 nm, while the surface morphology and the pore size distribution were modified by changing the mass ratio of TEOS to zeolite. The composite molecular sieves have higher surface area for capturing molecules than ZSM-5, and with the increase of mesoporous shell layer, the ZSM-5@SiO 2 - x composites show stronger adsorption capacity of butyraldehyde. However, when the shell thickness exceeds 90 nm, the adsorption capacity of butyraldehyde decreases instead. The composites have a huge potential for environmental applications.

The rational design of electrochemical methods for isomer recognition is a focus of research in the molecular recognition and separation fields. In this work, a novel, rapid, and convenient electrochemical approach for recognition of nitrophenol isomers was constructed based on the alternating layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of water-soluble cationic and anionic pillar [5]arene on a carboxylic graphene (C-Gra) modified glass carbon electrode. The electrochemical recognition of nitrophenol isomers was investigated by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The electrochemical results reveal that both the peak currents of m -nitrophenol ( m -NP) and p -nitrophenol ( p -NP) increased with the increasing of the layer number of the assembled pillar [5]arene, whereas the peak current of o -nitrophenol ( o -NP) decreased with the increased layers, which demonstrated an efficient route for discriminating the nitrophenol isomers. The molecular recognition mechanism was studied by 1 H NMR spectra, which indicated that the m -NP and p -NP can be included in the cavity of the pillar [5]arene host. However, the o -NP could not enter into the host of pillar [5]arene, which was ascribed to the formation of intramolecular hydrogen bond of o -NP. The LbL assembly modified GCE was used for detecting p -NP and m -NP. A low detection limit of 0.33 μM (S/N = 3) and a linear response range of 1–90 μM for p -NP were obtained by using this method. And the detection limit of 0.16 μM (S/N = 3) and a linear response range of 0.5–70 μM for m -NP were obtained. This method of LbL assembly modified GCE has potential application in molecular recognition and separation.

The nature of external surface barriers in the zeolite ZSM-5 was explored by comparing mass transfer of n -heptane in samples with different crystal sizes, surface structure, and composition. These different surface properties were achieved by HF acid etching and SiO 2 deposition on an as-synthesized ZSM-5 crystal sample. HF etching does not reduce surface barriers. SiO 2 deposition on the same sample reduces surface barriers significantly. These insights into the nature of surface barriers could be used to guide the rational design of zeolitic materials with better mass transport properties.

Cytidine 5′-monophosphate (CMP) was widely applied in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Currently, CMP is mainly produced by enzyme catalysis. However, the starting materials for enzyme catalysis were relatively expensive. Therefore, seeking a low-cost production process for CMP was attractive. In this study, Escherichia coli (E. coli) was systematically modified to produce CMP. First, a the cytidine-producing strain was constructed by deleting cdd, rihA, rihB, and rihC. Second, the genes involved in the pyrimidine precursor competing pathway and negative regulation were deleted to increase cyti dine biosynthesis. Third, the deletion of the genes that caused the loss of CMP phosphatase activity led to the accumulation of CMP, and the overexpression of the rate-limiting step genes and feedback inhibition resistance genes greatly increased the yield of CMP. The yield of CMP was further increased to 1013.6 mg/L by blocking CMP phosphorylation. Ultimately, the yield of CMP reached 15.3 g/L in a 50 L bioreactor. Overall, the engineered E. coli with a high yield of CMP was successfully constructed and showed the potential for industrial production.

Salvia leucanthais a perennial herb of the genusSalviain the family Labiatae, which has a wide range of biological activities, mainly including inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory activity. To explore the protective effects and mechanism of action ofS. leucanthaon Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the anti-AD activity of SLE (extracts ofS. leucantha) was determined by using a transgenicCaenorhabditis elegans(C. elegans) model (CL4176). Analyses included paralysis assay, phenotypic experiments, transcriptome sequencing, RNA interference (RNAi), heat shock assays, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). SLPE (S. leucanthapetroleum ether extract) could significantly delay CL4176 paralysis and extend the longevity ofC. elegansN2 without harmful effects. A total of 927 genes were significantly changed by SLPE treatment inC. elegans,mainly involving longevity regulatory pathways—nematodes, drug metabolism—cytochrome P450, and glutathione metabolic pathways. RNAi showed that SLPE exerted its anti-AD activity through up-regulation of the genegst-5; the most abundant compound in SLPE analyzed by GC-MS was 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol (2,4-DTBP), and the compound delayed nematode paralysis. The present study suggests that active components inS. leucanthamay serve as new-type anti-AD candidates and provide some insights into their biological functions.

Vibrio splendidus AJ01 is the primary pathogen of Apostichopus japonicus , resulting in huge economic losses. In the present study, we found that 5-iodoindole exhibits a remarkable protective effect on A. japonicus , the survival rate of which can be improved to 93.75%. To explore the impact of 5-iodoindole on V. splendidus AJ01, bacterial growth and virulence factors were determined. Results showed that 5-iodoindole significantly decreased swimming motility, hemolytic activity and protease activity but had minimal effect on the overall growth of the bacterium. Furthermore, a differentially expressed protein was downregulated and identified as elongation factor thermo unstable protein (EF-Tu) via SDS-PAGE combined with LC-MS/MS. Moreover, 5-iodoindole had impact on a large number of genes at RNA level, such as genes related to two-component system, ABC transporters, flagella, and chemotaxis. In addition, 20 µM 5-iodoindole could upregulated the mRNA level of immune related genes in A. japonicus , including IL-17, VEGF and MMP1. Our results indicated 5-iodoindole protect A. japonicus through a two-pronged approach: not only inhibiting bacterial virulence but also enhancing the host's immunity. This not only addresses the limitations of traditional indole but also provides a green alternative to antibiotics for protecting A. japonicus from infections caused by V. splendidus AJ01.

Organic micropollutants pose a tremendous challenge to global water resources, for nonbiodegradable synthetic chemicals, especially. In this investigation, we loaded Cucurbit [5]uril on polymer BPEIH to prepare supramolecular polymer Q[5]@BPEIH with pore structure , which is used to adsorb and remove organic micropollutants in water. The experimental results show that the adsorbent can remove organic micropollutants from water quickly and with high loading, which is better effect than that of traditional activated carbon. In particular, the polymer is an excellent adsorbent for 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene and Neutral Red pollutants. It also has classy adsorption properties for 1-naphthylamine, Amaranth, Metallic Yellow, 8-hydroxy-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid pyrene, Methyl Orange and Crystal Violet. This adsorbent can also adsorb I 2 . When the adsorption tends to equilibrium, the calculated adsorption rate is 87.2%. These outstanding adsorption effects show that this adsorbent can help to remove a variety of micropollutants in the process of wastewater treatment . More importantly, Q[5]@BPEIH that we designed and synthesized has the characteristics of low synthesis cost, simple synthesis and preparation process, high product yield, fast adsorption speed and strong removal ability. The admirable removal ability of pollutant proved the prospect of Q [5]@BPEIH for rapid sewage disposal.

5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), as one of the top ten important platform chemicals, can be used to produce 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), 2,5-dimethyl furan (DMF), levulinic acid, and other chemicals. An environmentally friendly system for the synthesis of sulfonated carbon materials from discarded masks has been proposed. A series of mask-based solid acid catalysts (bMC-SO3H) were prepared by a simple two-step process. Mechanochemical pretreatment (ball milling) of waste mask and sulfonated group precursor, followed by thermal carbonization under nitrogen gas, were used to synthesize sulfonated porous carbon. The total acid amount of the prepared bMC-SO3H was measured by the Boehm method, which exhibited 1.2–5.3 mmol/g. The addition of the sulfonated group precursor in the mechanochemical treatment (ball milling) process caused intense structure fragmentation of the discarded masks. These sulfonated porous carbons (bMC(600)-SO3H) as solid acid catalysts achieved fructose conversion of 100% and HMF yield of 82.1% after 120 min at 95 °C in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride. The bMC-SO3H could be reused five times, during which both the HMF yield and fructose conversion were stable. This work provides a strategy for the synthesis of sulfonated carbon from discarded masks and efficient catalyzed fructose upgrading to HMF.Keywords:biomass;carbohydrates;mask;solid wastes;solid acid catalyst

Size restrictions pose increasing challenges to the acoustic performance of microspeakers in portable devices as the size of such devices, and thus the back volume of microspeakers, continues to shrink. Filling the back volume with porous materials, such as zeolites, has been proved to be an effective strategy for improving acoustic performance. In this work, hierarchically structured ZSM-5 zeolites with abundant mesopores were synthesized via the traditional hydrothermal method by adjusting the SiO2/Al2O3ratios (SAR), and their pore structures and morphologies were systematically investigated. Their acoustic enhancement performance was evaluated using a commercial microspeaker. Based on their acoustic properties, the influence of pore structure on acoustic performance was further studied. The ZSM-5 zeolite sample with an SAR of 614, which exhibited the maximum mesopore volume, demonstrated exceptional acoustic enhancement performance with a resonance offset of 199.53 Hz and an enhanced sound pressure level of 4.74 dB at 500 Hz. The presence of mesopores significantly facilitates diffusion within the zeolite crystals, enabling air molecules to access more micropores for efficient sorption–desorption processes during diaphragm vibration in microspeakers. Furthermore, supermicropores were found to contribute to improved performance by adsorbing air molecules during diaphragm vibration, complementing the role of micropores.
