In this work, the hydrogen bond formation ability of cation and anion of the ILs was determined by using the solvatochromic method and was found to be responsible for their catalytic activity in the Knoevenagel reactions. The enhancement in the hydrogen bond donor ability of the cations and the hydrogen bond acceptor ability of the anions can both lead to the increase in the catalytic activity of the ILs. From the proposed reaction mechanism, it was deduced that the cations of the ILs can form hydrogen bond with aldehyde to activate the C O bond as electrophile, and the anions of the ILs can promote active methylene compound to produce carboanion as nucleophile, showing dual function activation effect in the catalytic processes. In addition, the optimized N,N-dimethylethanolamnium acetate as dual function activator for the Koevenagel reactions benefits from wide substrates tolerance, ambient reaction temperature, easy work-up procedure, and easy reuse of the IL.

Switchable-hydrophilicity solvents (SHSs) are an emerging class of solvents with switchable phase behavior. They can be used as a substitute for volatile solvents and can be removed from organic products without distillation. However, the detailed physical properties data of SHSs are still very scarce in the literature. In this work, the experimental values densities, dynamic viscosities, refractive indices as well as conductivities of switchable hydrophilicity solvent (SHS) systems ( N , N -Dimethylbutylamine (DMBA), water, and carbon dioxide) are investigated at temperatures (283.15, 288.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15 and 308.15) K and at atmospheric pressure. VLE of the CO 2 loaded DMBA solutions are measured at 298.15 K over the partial pressure range of carbon dioxide from 17.0 to 98.0 kPa. Density data have been used to calculate the apparent molar volumes ( V ϕ ), limiting apparent molar volumes ( V ϕ 0 ) and limiting partial molar expansivity of solute ( E ϕ 0 ). The Jones-Dole coefficients B, the Gibbs free energies of activation of viscous flow per mole of solvent ( Δ μ 1 0 ≠ ) and per mole of solute ( Δ μ 2 0 ≠ ), entropies ( Δ S 2 0 ≠ ) and enthalpies ( Δ H 2 0 ≠ ) of activation of viscous flow were calculated from experimental viscosity data and discussed in terms of transition state theory. The Walden's product was calculated from the conductance and dynamic viscosity data. The results are valuable sources of information on the design and development of SHSs for novel industrial applications.

A series of N-modified Ru/N x -AC catalysts were prepared by ammonia treatment method and applied in dioctyl phthalate hydrogenation, which is a cascade reaction system involving partial hydrogenation of aromatic ring and the further saturated hydrogenation of the formed intermediate bis(2-ethylhexyl) cyclohexene-1,2-dicar-boxylate (DH 4 ) to dioctyl di-2-ethylhexylcyclohexane-1,4-dicar-boxylate (DEHCH). N doping was found to be able to increase the nitrogen-containing pyridine groups on the activated carbon (AC) surface, resulting in the abundance of binding sites for anchoring Ru and exceptionally enhancing the dispersion of Ru nanoparticles. Furthermore, the N-modified Ru/N 12 -AC catalyst exhibited a significantly higher turnover frequency value (1260.06 h −1 ) than Ru/AC catalyst (913.64 h −1 ). It was deduced that the presence of the pyridine groups could improve the adsorption of intermediate DH 4 by promoting the coverage of DH 4 on the catalyst surface. The environment of surface-enriched DH 4 accelerated the reaction rate of DH 4 hydrogenation and increased the selectivity to DEHCH. Therefore, the cooperation between highly dispersed Ru nanoparticles and pyridine groups supports remarkably enhanced the activity and selectivity. In addition, the Ru/N 12 -AC catalyst presented excellent catalytic activity and versatility in the hydrogenation of other phthalates such as dimethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, and dibutyl phthalate, demonstrating its prospective application in phthalate esters hydrogenation.

Heterojunction formation has been considered as an effective way for exploring ultrahigh sensitive multi-metal oxide based gas sensors. Herein, unique hierarchical radial CeO 2 /ZnO heterostructures with excellent triethylamine (TEA) gas-sensing performance were successfully prepared via a feasible solvothermal method . The morphology, microstructure and gas-sensing performance of the composite were systematically characterized and investigated. The selective TEA gas response of the radial CeO 2 /ZnO heterostructure was increased by ten times as compared to that of pure ZnO phase, ascribing to the abundant reactive sites induced by the formation of n-n heterojunction . Furthermore, the radial CeO 2 /ZnO n-n heterojunction exhibited the best TEA gas sensitivity with R a /R g = 92.17 at an operating temperature of 200 °C, a fast response/recovery time of 29 s/23 s, and a long-term stable repeatability for at least 60 days. The excellent selectivity of CeO 2 /ZnO heterojunction for TEA sensing is also remained even when mixing with other interferent gases. The interface-dependent and enhanced TEA sensing property of CeO 2 /ZnO can be ascribed to its intriguing radial morphology, for which the CeO 2 nanoparticles located in the internal structure of the composite while the ZnO hexagonal prism grew radially outward. The well assembled hierarchical CeO 2 /ZnO n-n heterojunction with abundant accessible active sites significantly facilitate the surface reaction and diffusion of target gas molecules at the interface between CeO 2 and ZnO during gas sensing process.

Development of high-performance and stable electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is crucial for hydrogen economy. Inspired by hydrogen evolution behavior on hydrogenase enzyme, in which the azadithiolate bridging ligand of active center facilitates fast proton shuttling and catalytic turnover, here we present an efficient approach to enhance both HER kinetics and stability realizing on an IrNi@N,O-C catalyst with individual IrNi nanoparticle separately confined in N and O co-doped carbon (N,O-C) nanocage. Experimental and theoretical investigations indicate that the N,O-C nanocage provides proton-adsorbing functionality on raising H* coverage over IrNi active centers, resulting in much accelerated HER kinetics. The IrNi@N,O-C presents superior HER performances compared to all reported Ir-based catalysts, with overpotential of 22 mV at 100 mA cm −2 , ultrahigh mass activity of 9.82 A mg Ir −1 (−0.050 V vs. RHE) and outstanding durability of 200 h at large current density. This work affords fresh insights/strategies for design of high-performance electrocatalysts

The recovery of gold from wastewater has always been a research hotspot. Here, a novel chitosan-based adsorbent (CS-DPDM) was successfully synthesized by functionalizing chitosan with (N, N-(2-aminoethyl))-2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide. The adsorbent was analyzed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H NMR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and zeta potential method (Zeta). To investigate the adsorption performance of CS-DPDM for Au(III), the effects of pH, temperature, adsorption time and initial concentration were discussed. The maximum adsorption capacity of CS-DPDM for Au(III) at pH 5.0 is 659.02 mg/g at 318 K. The adsorption is a spontaneous endothermic behavior, and the adsorption process follows the quasi-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models, indicating that a single layer of chemical adsorption may have occurred on the surface of the adsorbent. The competitive adsorption and repetitive experiments show that CS-DPDM has considerable selectivity and reusability for Au(III). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results show that N and O functional groups adsorb Au(III) on the surface of CS-DPDM through electrostatic, chelation and reduction. These results indicate that CS-DPDM has broad application prospects in recovering gold ions from aqueous solutions.

The experimental values of density and viscosity for binary solutions diethylenetriamine (DETA) + H2O, DETA + N,N-diethylethanolamine (DEEA), and ternary solution DETA + DEEA + H2O over the entire concentration range were reported at atmospheric pressure and T = (293.15, 303.15, 313.15, 323.15, 333.15) K. The measured densities and viscosities were used to calculate the thermal expansion coefficient, excess molar volume, partial molar volume, apparent molar volume, partial molar volume at infinite dilution, viscosity deviation, and excess Gibbs free energy of activation for viscous flow. The molecular interactions in mixtures were discussed based on the volumetric and viscometric properties.

Strain/pressure sensors with high sensitivity and a wide operation range have broad application prospects in wearable medical equipment, human-computer interactions, electronic skin, and so on. In this work, based on the different solubilities of Zr4+ in the aqueous phase and the hydrophobic ionic liquid [BMIM][Tf2N], we used N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMA) as a vinyl monomer to prepare a Janus-type ionic conductive gel with one-sided adhesion through “one-step” UV irradiation polymerization. The Janus-type gel has satisfactory mechanical properties (tensile strength: 217.06 kPa, elongation at break: 1121.01%), electrical conductivity (conductivity: 0.10 S m−1), one-sided adhesion (adhesion strength to glass: 72.35 kPa) and antibacterial properties. The sensor based on the Janus gel can be used not only for real-time monitoring of strain changes caused by various movements of the human body (such as finger bending, muscle contraction, smiling, and swallowing) but also for real-time monitoring of pressure changes (such as pressing, water droplets, and writing movements). Therefore, based on the simplicity of this method for constructing Janus-type ionic conductive gels and the excellent electromechanical properties of the prepared gel, we believe that the method provided in this study has broad application prospects in the field of multifunctional wearable sensors.

Elaborate design of high stability catalytic active site is of great concern for the development of advanced organic–inorganic composite catalysts. Herein, cobalt-doped mesoporous molecular sieve grafted with N,N-dihydroxypyromellitimide catalyst (Co-SBA-15-NDHPI) is developed for the catalytic oxidative desulfurization (ODS) in diesel fuels. The close integration of organic active components and porous supports strengthens the synergistic catalytic effect, resulting enhancement of selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfone derivatives. In detail, N,N-dihydroxypyromellitimide is bonded to a Co-based mesoporous molecular sieve by 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane as the coupling agent allowing exclusive retention of NHPI, which serve as the active sites that result in boosted catalytic ODS performance. Meanwhile, taking advantage of strong chemical anchoring strategies, the Co-SBA-15-NDHPI catalyst exhibits the highest stability compared to other NHPI-containing desulfurization catalysts. This work opens the way for the development of a more stable organic–inorganic hybrid desulfurization catalyst.

To seek more efficient extractant for Pd recovery from leaching solution of spent automotive catalysts, a new compound N-methyl-N-isopropyl octanthioamide (TA-813) was synthesized and characterized through FT-IR, 1 H NMR, ESI-MS and elemental analysis. Its extraction and stripping behaviors for Pd were studied. To evaluate its reusability performance, extraction−stripping cycles were carried out. Finally, TA-813 was applied to separating Pd from simulated leaching solution of spent automotive catalysts. TA-813 shows fast extraction kinetics, high extraction efficiency and specific selectivity for Pd. During extraction two TA-813 molecules coordinate with one Pd. The loaded Pd in the organic phase is efficiently stripped by neutral and acidic thiourea solutions. TA-813 shows no loss in activity after eight extraction−stripping cycles. Even from simulated leaching solution of spent automotive catalysts, in which the concentrations of some purities (La, Ce, Mg, Al) are much higher than that of Pd, Pd is still selectively extracted.

Substituting hydrazine oxidation reaction for oxygen evolution reaction can result in greatly reduced energy consumption for hydrogen production, however, the mechanism and the electrochemical utilization rate of hydrazine oxidation reaction remain ambiguous. Herein, a bimetallic and hetero-structured phosphide catalyst has been fabricated to catalyze both hydrazine oxidation and hydrogen evolution reactions, and a new reaction path of nitrogen-nitrogen single bond breakage has been proposed and confirmed in hydrazine oxidation reaction. The high electro-catalytic performance is attributed to the instantaneous recovery of metal phosphide active site by hydrazine and the lowered energy barrier, which enable the constructed electrolyzer using bimetallic phosphide catalyst at both sides to reach 500 mA cm −2 for hydrogen production at 0.498 V, and offer an enhanced hydrazine electrochemical utilization rate of 93%. Such an electrolyzer can be powered by a bimetallic phosphide anode-equipped direct hydrazine fuel cell, achieving self-powered hydrogen production at a rate of 19.6 mol h −1 m −2 .
