Graphitic carbons are commonly used as supports for electrocatalysts. However, due to their inherent lack of active sites and surface functional groups, graphitic carbon often causes significant aggregation and migration of Pt particles when used as a support for Pt/C catalysts, resulting in decreased activity and stability during the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) process. In this study, graphite was first etched with NaOH, followed by reaction with melamine to synthesize edge-N-doped porous graphitic carbon (NPGC) as a support for Pt-based catalysts. The porous structure and edge-N doping promote the dispersion and anchoring of Pt species, while also contributing to the reduction in Pt nanoparticle size. Consequently, the Pt/NPGC catalyst demonstrated a low overpotential of 43 mV at 10 mA·cm −2 , outperforming the unmodified Pt/GC (102 mV) and NaOH-etched Pt/PGC (49.7 mV), thus demonstrating superior HER activity. Additionally, the stability test results confirmed the exceptional stability of the Pt/NPGC catalyst. This study provides valuable insights into the design and fabrication of efficient graphitic carbon-supported Pt-based catalysts for potential applications in future hydrogen energy technologies.

Interfacial engineering in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) is essential to attain superior separation performance and ensure long-term operational stability. In this research, a range of novel MMMs were designed and fabricated for pervaporation (PV) separation of n-butanol/water solution by introducing the MIL-53(Al) particles and three variants (i.e., MIL-53(Al)–NH 2 , MIL-53(Al)–NO 2 , MIL-53(Al)–OH) into PEBA polymer matrix. These four MIL-53(Al) counterparts were synthesized via a microwave-assisted solvothermal method by selectively functionalizing the terephthalic acid linkers with different chemical groups. The functional MIL-53(Al) variants were employed to explore the relationship between membrane microstructures and PV performance by manipulating the interfacial interactions with PEBA matrix. The findings reveal that incorporating MIL-53(Al) variants not only displayed excellent interfacial compatibility and uniform dispersion within PEBA matrix, but also constructed the preferential transport pathways for n-butanol over water molecules. Impressively, in a 1 wt% n-butanol aqueous solution at 40 °C, the resultant membrane attained a permeation flux of 1483.3 g·m -2 ·h -1 and a separation factor of 18.1. Compared to the PEBA/PVDF membrane, the total flux was enhanced by 17.1 %, and the separation factor was improved by 46.4 %. Moreover, the embedding MIL-53(Al) variants boosted thermal and mechanical properties of the membrane, endowing it with considerable potential for practical applications.

N-Halamine-based antibacterial materials are widely used due to their excellent characteristics. However, the N–Cl bonds in N-halamine-based materials are not stable under UV light irradiation so that they are difficult to recover and reuse. Here, a kind of N-halamine-immobilized Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2(F@S@T-Cl) nanoparticles were prepared. In addition, the UV stability and regeneration capacity were also studied after variable time exposure to UV light. The results showed that nanoparticles have great antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Meanwhile, the N–Cl bond in the nanocomposite showed outstanding storage stability under UV light irradiation and good regeneration ability; the material can realize cyclic utilization and solve the problem of secondary pollution of the antibacterial material. It provides a broader application prospect for the recyclable N-halamine antibacterial material.

N-doped carbon material is a promising alternative to mercury catalyst for acetylene hydrochlorination. Herein, we present an innovative strategy to synthesize pyridinic N-rich aromatic ladder structure material through controlling the self-assembly of polyacrylonitrile polymer chains. The prepared material gave ∼93% conversion of acetylene with >99% selectivity for vinyl chloride and exhibited a satisfying stability during 200 h lifetime test. Characterizations and density functional theory calculations demonstrated that the activity of the catalyst likely originates from three types of active pyridinic N sites in the ladder structure. Particularly, the pyridinic N sites with one H atom nearby are more active because the H atom can stabilize the transition state through H···Cl bond, thereby reducing the energy barrier. The energy barriers on these pyridinic N sites were calculated to be 29.8 and 47.4 kcal mol–1, much lower than 83.2 and 84.4 kcal mol–1 on those sites without H atom nearby. The facile and highly effective strategy for the synthesis of a specific N species with defined formation mechanism is expected to be helpful in the design of other green catalysts for acetylene hydrochlorination.

Currently, a big challenge for the practical use of potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) is their intrinsically poor cycling stability, due to the relatively large radius of K+ and sluggish kinetics for intercalation/deintercalation. Here we report the scalable fabrication of N/S-codoped hollow carbon nanocubes (NSHCCs), which have the potential as an electrode for advanced PIBs with robust stability. Their discharge and charge specific capacities are ∼560 mA h g–1 and 310 mA h g–1 at a current density of 50 mA g–1, respectively. Meanwhile, they exhibit 100% specific capacity retention after 620 cycles over 9 months at a low current density of 50 mA g–1, which is state-of-the-art among carbon materials. Moreover, they demonstrate nearly no sacrifice in specific capacities with 99.9% retention after 3000 cycles over 4 months under a high current density of 1000 mA g–1, superior to most carbon analogues for potassium storage previously reported. The improved electrochemical performance of NSHCC can be mainly attributed to the unique hollow carbon nanocubes with incorporated N and S dopants, which can expand the carbon layer spacing, facilitate K+ adsorption, and relieve the volume change during the intercalation/deintercalation of K+ ions.

Colorimetric sensor arrays demonstrate numerous superior features in chemo- and bio-sensing, but they are generally not applicable to less-reactive analytes. Based on the findings that N-methyl carbamate pesticides could be decomposed into reactive phenols in basic media, herein, a novel strategy of strong base pre-treatment was developed and employed for the colorimetric sensor array detection and differentiation of the N-methyl carbamate pesticides in an indirect manner. With the use of five inexpensive and commercially available phenol responsive indicators, such a colorimetric sensor array can be facilely fabricated. Classification analysis (e.g. hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA)) reveals that the as-fabricated sensor array has an extremely high dimensionality and, consequently, exhibits excellence in discriminating a variety of N-methyl carbamates from other types of pesticides and potential interferants, and further identifying them exactly from each other. Moreover, semi-quantitative detection could also be achieved through combining HCA/PCA, recognition patterns, and corresponding fitting curves. Overall, the as-developed method exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity, good anti-interference, simultaneous detection and identification capability for each of the N-methyl carbamate pesticides, and potential applicability in real samples. Most importantly, this study demonstrates that pre-treatment strategies are very effective in expanding the range of applications of colorimetric sensor array methodology to less-reactive analytes.

A facile method was used to oxidize p-type Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) nanowires into n-type Zinc Oxide (ZnO) through a 700 °C annealing process in air. Single crystal ZnSe nanowires, with a hole concentration of 0.805 × 10 18 cm −3 and
a negative photoconductivity, were oxidized into polycrystalline ZnO nanowires with an electron concentration of 4.88 × 10 18 cm −3 and a positive photoconductivity. Additionally, both the as-synthesized ZnSe nanowires and the post-oxidized ZnO nanowires presented excellent optoelectronic properties. This method can be used to construct radial p–n junctions or other nano-devices based on a single NW through a regioselective oxidation process.

Protein glycosylation plays pivotal role in a variety of biological processes and has association with many diseases. The highly efficient glycopeptide enrichment is essential for the mass spectrometry–based glycoproteome research to reduce interference from non-glycopeptides. In this study, novel glutathione-functionalized two-dimensional cobalt sulfide nanosheets (Co-S@Au-GSH) were synthesized for rapid and highly effective enrichment of glycopeptides. By using this nanomaterial, 34 and 21 N-glycopeptides were effectively captured from human serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) digests, respectively. In addition, the Co-S@Au-GSH showed remarkable performance in N-glycopeptide extraction with high selectivity (HRP: BSA = 1:500), low limit of detection (0.5 fmol/μL), high binding capacity (150 mg/g), good reusability, and great robustness. Moreover, it was successfully applied in complex serum samples, demonstrating its excellent enrichment performance. These results indicated that this nanomaterial has great potential in complicated practice samples in glycoproteome determination. Graphical abstract

Green and environment-friendly high-efficiency flame retardants (FRs) are crucial to polymer FR modification. Here, a green FR 2-((bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino)methyl)-5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinane 2-oxide (HAMPP) was synthesized. The HAMPP was incorporated with a cyclic phosphorus structure, which will readily carbonize to inhibit or prevent further combustion. Moreover, the HAMPP contains dihydroxy reactive groups that can be used as a monomer in the polymerization reaction to obtain the main chain containing phosphorus polymer. Research studies on FRs were based on flexible polyurethane foam (PU-HAMPPs). The limiting oxygen index value of PU foam with 10% HAMPP could reach 23.7%, passing a UL-94 V-0 rating together. With the addition of HAMPP, the peak heat release rate of PU foam decreased significantly, the decomposition temperature increased, the heat release capacity reduced by 31%, and the char yield increased by 42%. The chemical composition and morphology of the char residual have been studied and analyzed thoroughly. We find that HAMPP forms a molten viscous protective layer uniformly on the material surface and releases some incombustible gases. These indicated that the FR exploited both condensed-phase and gas-phase flame retardancy mechanisms. Besides, the addition of FRs improved the mechanical properties.

It is desirable to prepare low-cost non-noble metal catalysts using a simple and efficient method. Herein, we display for the first time that nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous carbon-supported vanadium nitride (VN/NC/C-x) catalysts can be regulated by dicyandiamide (DCDA). The introduction of DCDA not only effectively controls the pore structure, but also plays an important role in adjusting oxygen vacancies and d-electrons. In addition, DCDA is not only a significant raw material for the N-doped carbon, but also a nitrogen source for the preparation of vanadium nitride. The VN/NC/C-3 catalyst was prepared after optimization of the preparation parameters, and the macro/micro structure demonstrates a superior ORR performance in alkaline media with a positive onset potential of 0.85 V and a half-wave potential of 0.75 V, the limiting current density is as high as 4.52 mA·cm−2, and the Tafel slope is only 75.54 mV·dec−1. The VN/NC/C-3-based Zn–air battery exhibits a highest peak power density (161.82 mW∙cm−2) and an excellent energy density (702.28 mAh·kgZn−1and 861.51 Wh·kgZn−1). This work provides a valuable synthetic approach for the preparation of other transition metal nitride catalysts with a relative economic value and high performance.Keywords:VN/NC/C;N-doped carbon;oxygen vacancies;oxygen reduction reaction;Zn–air battery

N-Glycosylation is one of the most common and important protein posttranslational modifications. Structural aberrations of the N-glycans branching from glycoproteins are closely related to various disease occurrences and progressions. Therefore, global systematic identification of disease-related
N-glycans not only largely facilitates the understanding of their cellular functions but also promotes the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers. However, N-glycans are low in abundance and hydrophilic, thereby hindering high-throughput, and large-scale N-glycan analysis
and N-glycoproteome research. Here, a zwitterion-functionalized polymer brush-grafted silica hybrid hydrophilic material (poly-SBMA-S) was fabricated by in situ growth of polymeric [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide (SBMA) chains on porous silica particles
through a surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization technique, and it was used as a new stationary phase for highly selective N-glycan enrichment. Human plasma demonstrated 64 N-glycans due to the densely packed polyzwitterion chains and the significantly increased coverage of
hydrophilic binding sites, demonstrating the high potential of the new hydrophilic matrix in the profiling and analysis of N-glycans and other hydrophilic targets.

A series of novel cis poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) substituted at meta -position(s) by two alkoxycarbonyl pendants, i.e. , sP-Me-C8/rP-Me-C8 , P-Me-C12 , sP-Et-C4 , sP-2C4 and sP-Oct-C4 , were synthesized under the catalysis of [Rh(nbd)Cl] 2 (nbd = norbornadiene). The dependence of elongation, screw sense, and stimuli response of helical polyene backbone on the structure of pendant, solvent, and temperature was systematically investigated in both solution and solid states. Because of n → π * interaction between vicinal carbonyl groups, sP-Me-C8/rP-Me-C8 could adopt contracted cis-cisoid helix in THF, toluene, CH 2 Cl 2 , and CHCl 3 . Such an intramolecular interaction was sensitive to the hydrogen bond donating ability of solvent and temperature, but insensitive to the dielectric constant and polarity of solvent. In poly(3-methoxycarbonyl-5-alkoxycarbonylphenylacetylene), the longer the chiral alkyl chain was, the easier the stable cis-cisoid helix could be achieved. However, when the methoxycarbonyl was changed to ethoxycarbonyl, sec -butyloxycarbonyl, and octyloxycarbonyl pendant groups, only cis-transoid helix was obtained at room temperature due to the increased steric hindrance. Moreover, lowering temperature was found to facilitate the stabilization of n → π * interactions, and reversible temperature-dependent stereomutations were achieved in sP-Me-C8 and sP-Et-C4 depending on the solvent where they were dissolved. These results suggested that the long alkyl chain, small pendant size, and lower temperature favored the stabilization of intramolecular n → π * interactions and the formation of contracted, cis-cisoid helices for poly(3,5-diester substituted phenylacetylene)s.
