Due to the unique properties of heterojunction interfaces, heterojunction materials have broad application prospects in gas sensors. In this study, we synthesized In2O3 microrods through direct calcination of MIL-68(In) at ambient condition. Subsequently, WO3/In2O3 n-n heterojunction composites were built via a solvothermal method. The sensors fabricated with this heterojunction demonstrated exceptional TEA sensing capabilities, such as excellent selectivity and stability, a high response value of 678.43 to 20 ppm TEA, a fast response time (11 s) and a low operating temperature of 160°C. The increased sensing performance is attributed to the improved specific surface area, distinct barrier-controlled electron transport present in n-n type heterojunctions, and the unique selectivity of WO3 to TEA. This work not only offers a strategy for creating heterojunction-rich sensing materials, but also an efficient way for TEA detection.

Real-time monitoring of triethylamine (TEA) is essential for environmental safety and various applications in daily life. However, TEA gas sensors still encounter specific technical challenges, such as high operating temperatures and insufficient sensitivity. In this study, in order to reduce the operating temperature and improve sensitivity, WO 3 -MoO 3 (WMo) n-n heterojunctions were synthesized via calcination and subsequent solvothermal method, in which WO 3 tightly bound to the MoO 3 nanobelt surface. The resulting heterojunction demonstrated excellent TEA sensing performance. The optimized gas sensor achieved a high response of 627.28 to 20 ppm TEA at a low operating temperature (100 °C). In addition, the device exhibited strong selectivity and stability. These improvements in gas sensing performance were attributed to the formation of n-n heterojunction between MoO 3 and WO 3 , as well as the surface gas sensing reaction of oxygen species facilitated by oxygen vacancies at the heterojunction interface. This study can be applied to the design of novel n-n type metal oxide heterojunction materials for the application of low-temperature high-sensitivity TEA sensors.

Rechargeable aqueous Zn batteries are considered as promising energy-storage devices because of their high capacity, environmental friendliness and low cost. However, the hydrogen evolution reaction and growth of dendritic Zn in common aqueous electrolytes severely restrict the application of Zn batteries. Here, we develop a simple strategy to suppress side reactions and boost the reversibility of the Zn electrode. By introducing 30% (volume fractions) N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) to the 2 M Zn(CF3SO3)2–H2O electrolyte (ZHD30), the preferential hydrogen-bonding effect between DMF and H2O effectively reduces the water activity and hinders deprotonation of the electrolyte. The ZHD30 electrolyte improves the Zn plating/stripping coulombic efficiency from ∼95.3% to ∼99.4% and enhances the cycles from 65 to 300. The Zn–polyaniline full battery employing the ZHD30 electrolyte can operate over a wide temperature range from –40°C to +25°C and deliver capacities of 161.6, 127.4 and 65.8 mAh g–1 at 25, –20 and –40°C, respectively. This work provides insights into the role of tuning solvent effects in designing low-cost and effective aqueous electrolytes.

Titania nanosheets with {0 0 1} facets were produced by the supercritical N,N-dimethylformamide (SC-DMF) fluid exfoliation of the layered bulk titanate material. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed the starting titanate crystals with layered structure; SEM, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron micrographs (TEM) demonstrated the obtained two-dimensional nanosheets with a thickness of 1.3 nm around and lateral dimensions of several microns; ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy characterized the optic properties of the nanosheets with uniformity and the disassembly of layered structure. Absorbance peak is centered at 301 nm and the molar extinction coefficient is 1.01 × 10 2 mol −1 dm 3 cm −1 ; thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of the sediments revealed that the weight loss in the case of ice-cold water cooling was the least. The course of the SCF exfoliation was explained to be rapid intercalation and swollen exfoliation by thermal stress. Restacking of exfoliated nanosheets was shown by the in situ XRD technique, and ratios of the obtained single layers in the working conditions of furnace cooling, air cooling and ice-cold water cooling are increased up to 7.8%.

With the advancement of industrial economies, incidents involving spills of petroleum products have become increasingly frequent. The resulting pollutants pose significant threats to air, water, soil, plant and animal survival, as well as human health. In this study, microcrystalline cellulose served as the matrix and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as the initiator, while butyl acrylate (BA) andN,N′-methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) were employed as graft monomers. Through free radical graft polymerization, cellulose-graft-poly(butyl acrylate-N,N′-methylene bisacrylamide) [Cell-g-P(BA-MBA)], possessing oil-adsorbing properties, was synthesized. The chemical structure, elemental composition, surface morphology and wetting properties of the graft polymerization products have been characterized, using infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy and contact angle testing. The adsorption properties of Cell-g-P(BA-MBA) for various organic solvents and oils were then assessed. The experimental results demonstrated that Cell-g-P(BA-MBA) exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 37.55 g/g for trichloromethane. Adsorption kinetics experiments indicated a spontaneous and exothermic process involving physical adsorption, conforming to the Freundlich isotherm model. Furthermore, adsorption kinetics experiments revealed that Cell-g-P(BA-MBA) displayed favorable reuse and regeneration performance, maintaining its adsorption capacity essentially unchanged over fifteen adsorption–desorption cycles.

Polymerization of N-substituted glycine N-thiocarboxyanhydrides (NNTAs) is a promising pathway to prepare functional polypeptoids benefiting from their tolerance to nucleophilic impurities. However, controlled NNTA polymerization is hard to achieve in amide polar solvents, including N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP), the only aprotic solvents for many biomacromolecules and polypeptoids. In the present work, we successfully achieve controlled NNTA polymerization in amide polar solvents by adding acetic acid as a promoter. The promotion is applied to the polymerization of sarcosine NTA, N-ethyl glycine NTA, and N-butyl glycine NTA. DMAc, DMF, and NMP are suitable solvents to prepare polypeptoids with designable molecular weights and low dispersities (1.06–1.21). The polysarcosines with high molecular weights are prepared up to 35.2 kg/mol. A kinetic investigation quantitatively reveals that the presence of acetic acid not only accelerates the polymerization, but also suppresses H2S-catalyzed decomposition of NNTAs by decreasing the concentration of H2S dissolved in polar solvents. Benzoic acid is also able to promote the polymerization, while trifluoroacetic acid, phosphoric acid, and phenol are not appropriate promoters. The moderate acidity of acids is essential. l-Methionine, l-tryptophan, and l-phenylalanine, which are dissolved in DMF, initiate the controlled polymerization of sarcosine-NTA in the presence of acetic acid and introduce functional end groups to polysarcosines quantitatively. In DMAc, hydrophilic vancomycin is grafted by poly(N-butyl glycine). The amphiphilic product dissolves in dichloromethane and stabilizes water-in-oil emulsion.

A non-covalent bonding method is utilized for forming pH-switchable wormlike micelles system by mixing N -hexadecyl- N -methylpyrrolidinium bromide-based cationic surfactant and pyrocatechol. The peculiarity of this system is that it has high viscoelasticity at acidic conditions and alkaline conditions, while it shows water-like behaviors at neutral conditions. Rheology, dynamic light scattering, and cryogenic-transmission electron microscopy results revealed that the microstructure transition between spherical micelles and wormlike micelles was the fundamental cause of the pH-switchable rheological properties. The unusual rheological and micellar responses of this system to pH are caused by different binding capacity of hydrotrope to C 16 MPBr as pH varies. Fluorescence analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance result support this hypothesis.

An N-addition reaction between imides and propargyl sulfonium salts was developed to afford sulfur-containing N-vinylimides with moderate to excellent yields. Under the activation of NaOAc·3H2O, imides could undergo deprotonation and propargyl sulfonium salts could isomerize to allenic sulfonium salts. The N-nucleophilic attack initiates the reaction and gives the desired products. Various imides, including arylimides, aliphatic imides and N-(arylsulfonyl) alkyl acylamides, and even bioactive saccharin, thalidomide and pomalidomide could provide organosulfur N-vinylimides compounds. The simple, mild and metal-free reaction conditions, the broad scope of substrates, gram-scale synthesis and convenient transformation embody the synthetic superiority of this process.

The increasing demand for high-performance lithium-ion batteries has propelled the exploration of advanced materials to overcome limitations associated with commercially available polyolefin-based separators. This study introduces a pioneering approach involving the synthesis of a crosslinked hydrogel nanofiber membrane (PDs) composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and N, N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAAm) through the combination of the photo-polymerization with electrospinning process. To address key drawbacks observed in existing separators—namely, low porosity, inadequate thermal stability, and insufficient electrolyte wettability—the porosity of the PDs hydrogel nanofibers was systematically controlled through both heating drying (PD12-HD) and freeze-drying (PD12-FD) methods. The separator’s properties and performance were thoroughly examined, focusing on its chemical, mechanical, thermal, swelling, morphological, conductivity, and electrochemical properties. Comprehensive characterization of the PD12-FD separator revealed remarkable attributes surpassing those of a commercial counterpart (Celgard). The PD12-FD separator demonstrated exceptional mechanical strength (16.3 MPa), robust thermal stability (no shrinkage or deformation at 170 °C), high porosity (84.66 %), substantial electrolyte uptake capacity (672.86 %), superior ionic conductivity (3.405 mS/cm), and high lithium-ion transfer number (tLi + = 0.678). The improvement is attributed to the cross-linked structure formed between PVA and DMAAm. Importantly, coin cells assembled with the PD12-FD separator exhibited outstanding electrochemical performance. Even after 150 cycles at 1C, the PD12-FD separator maintained a capacity above 95 % (145.48 mAh/g), surpassing both PVA and Celgard separators. This study proposes a novel methodology for fabricating hydrogel nanofiber separators and introduces a customizable synthesis approach for producing separators with enhanced performance and controlled characteristics.

In this study, a novel composite DUT-5/Bi 2 MoO 6 (DUT-5/BMO) photocatalytic material was prepared by two-step hydrothermal method for the first time. The materials were characterized by SEM, XPS, etc. Studies have shown that material with a new n–n heterojunction structure can quickly degrade tetracycline. DUT-5 was embedded between the Bi 2 MoO 6 nanosheets, which promotes the photogenerated electrons from DUT-5 flows to Bi 2 MoO 6 , thereby reducing the recombination rate of photo-generated electron–hole pairs. The BET results show that the composite material has a larger specific surface area than the monomer Bi 2 MoO 6 . It can provide more active sites. After 60 min of visible light irradiation, the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of TC with 15% DUT-5/BMO reached 84.22%, which is 5.37 and 2.12 times higher than that of pure DUT-5 and Bi 2 MoO 6 , ·O 2 − and h + were the main active substances in the photocatalysis process. In addition, DUT-5/BMO composites show excellent stability and recyclability in 5 times cyclic experiments. In conclusion, DUT-5/BMO has good stability in the environment, and can be used for environmental remediation without pollution. Graphical

N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) possesses the ability to promote mental health and enhance immunity and is widely used in both medicine and food fields as a supplement. Enzymatic production of Neu5Ac using N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) as substrate was significant. However, the high-cost GlcNAc limited its development. In this study, an in vitro multi-enzyme catalysis was built to produce Neu5Ac using affordable chitin as substrate. Firstly, exochitinase SmChiA from Serratia proteamaculans and N-acetylglucosaminosidase CmNAGase from Chitinolyticbacter meiyuanensis SYBC-H1 were screened and combined to produce GlcNAc, effectively. Then, the chitinase was cascaded with N-acetylglucosamine-2-epimerase (AGE) and N-neuraminic acid aldolase (NanA) to produce Neu5Ac; the optimal conditions of the multi-enzyme catalysis system were 37°C and pH 8.5, the ratio of AGE to NanA (1:4) and addition of pyruvate (70 mM), respectively. Finally, 9.2 g/L Neu5Ac could be obtained from 20 g/L chitin within 24 h along with two supplementations with pyruvate. This work will lay a good foundation for the production of Neu5Ac from cheap chitin resources.
