Nitrogen-containing disinfection by-products (N-DBPs) produced in the process of drinking water disinfection are widely concerning due to the high cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. It is due to the difficulty of natural degradation of N-DBPs in water and the fact that conventional treatment systems do not effectively treat N-DBPs in drinking water. In this study, N-nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR) in water was electrocatalytically degraded by a three-dimensional electrode reactor (3DER). This system applied graphite plates as anode and cathode. The granular activated carbon (GAC) was used as third electrode. The degradation of NPYR using a continuous flow three-dimensional electrode reactor was investigated by examining the effects of flow rate, current density, electrolyte concentration, and pollutant concentration on the degradation efficiency, energy consumption, and reaction kinetics of GAC particle electrodes. The results showed that the optimal operating conditions were flow rate = 0.45 mL/min, current density = 6 mA/cm 2 , Na 2 SO 4 concentration = 0.28 mol/L, and NPYR concentration = 20 mg/L. Under optimal conditions, the degradation of NPYR exceeded 58.84%. The main contributor of indirect oxidation was deduced from free radical quenching experiments. NPYR concentration was measured by GC–MS with DB-5 capillary column, operating in full scan monitoring mode for appropriate quantification of NPYR and intermediates. Based on the identification of reaction intermediates, a possible pathway for the electrochemical oxidation of NPYR on GAC particle electrodes was proposed.

Developing transparent and efficient photoanodes is a challenging but essential task in tandem photoelectrochemical cell for unassisted solar water splitting without an external bias. Here we report construction of p–n homojunction hematite photoanodes by hybrid microwave annealing-induced single antimony doping, which results in the gradually-increased valence states from the surface to the inside by the unique features of hybrid microwave annealing. The Sb-doped p–n homojunction hematite photoanode exhibits improved performance and displays a good transparency, achieving a stable photocurrent density of ~4.21 mA cm −2 at 1.23 V RHE under 100 mW cm −2 solar irradiation, which is comparable to the reported state-of-the-art hematite photoanodes. More importantly, a parallel-connected stack of six photoanodes of transparent p–n homojunction records a near-theoretical photocurrent density of ~10 mA cm –2 at 1.23 V RHE under standard photoelectrochemical water splitting conditions, which serves as a useful reference for hematite photoanodes and promises its practical application for unbiased photoelectrochemical water splitting.

Superoleophobic and anti-oil adhesion behavior has been considered the central character of the materials for removing oil from wastewater. Herein, poly(vinylidene fluoride)/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PVDF/PNIPAM) membranes were fabricated by vapor-induced phase separation (VIPS) and then further post-modified by deposition of sulfonated dopamine (SDA). The resulting membrane has a strong underwater superoleophobicity with an underwater toluene contact angle of 163 ± 2° and an ultralow adhesion force (1.9 ± 0.02 µN) between the surface and the oil. Therefore, it can efficiently remove emulsified toluene from water with a flux of 2211 ± 80 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 and an oil rejection of 99.5 ± 0.4%. This work offers a novel technique for the fabrication of porous membranes with excellent anti-oil fouling performance which will be practically used in the treatment of emulsified oils.

Alkali-surfactant-polymer (ASP) flooding has been considered to be one of the useful tertiary oil recovery techniques. However, field tests in China have revealed that serious side effects may occur due to using alkali. Thus alkali-free SP flooding is more favorable in China. Unfortunately, surfactants effective in ASP flooding are usually ineffective in the absence of alkali and new surfactants need to be designed. In this paper N -(3-Oxapropanoxyl)dodecanamide as a pure compound and a mixture of homologues with narrow EO number distribution, synthesized by the reaction of lauroyl chloride with diglycolamine and addition of one ethylene oxide to coconut monoethanolamide respectively, are examined for their adaptability in SP flooding. It is found that, when mixed with betaines, both products can reduce Daqing crude oil/connate water interfacial tension to a magnitude of 10 −3 –10 −4 mNm −1 at 45 °C in a wide surfactant concentration range, 0.01–0.5 wt%, and oil displacement tests using natural cores indicates that a tertiary oil recovery of 18.6 ± 0.4% OOIP can be achieved by SP flooding with the N -(3-Oxapropanoxyl)dodecanamide as the main surfactant without adding any alkaline agent and neutral electrolyte. N -(3-Oxapropanoxyl)dodecanamide, as a nonionic surfactant without a cloud point and producible industrially from renewable materials, is an ideal surfactant for SP flooding in the absence of an alkaline agent.

Surface modification of polyolefine separators for high performance lithium-ion batteries has been a worthwhile research topic. In this work, poly (poly (ethylene glycol) methacrylate) (PPEGMA) was firstly grafted onto polypropylene (PP) separator based on N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) catalysis and activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET-ATRP). Bis(2,2,2-trichloroethyl) azodicarboxylate (BTCEAD) was anchored on the surface of PP separators in the presence of NHPI. Then BTCEAD functionalized PP separator initiated the polymerization of PEGMA by ARGET-ATRP. Thus, structure controllable PPEGMA was grafted on the surface of PP separators. The results of contact angle and electrolyte uptake tests demonstrated that electrolyte wettability of PPEGMA functionalized PP separator has been significantly improved. Electrochemical measurements indicated that the ionic conductivity and discharge capacity retention of cells assembled with PPEGMA functionalized PP separators were distinctly higher than that of cells with pristine PP separator. Herein, we presented a new methodology with high efficiency to modify PP separators under mild condition, which was also applied to other polyolefine separator for high performance lithium-ion batteries. The proposed approach might have many other potential applications in membrane modification field.

In this contribution, we reported the synthesis of poly( N -isopropylacrylamide)- block -poly(acrylic acid) (PNIPAAm- b -PAA) copolymer networks via sequential reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The PNIPAAm- b -PAA block copolymer networks were characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The volume phase transition (VPT) temperatures of the PNIPAAm- b -PAA hydrogels were measured by means of micro-differential scanning calorimetry (micro-DSC). It was found that the block copolymer hydrogels displayed the VPT temperatures lower than the control PNIPAAm hydrogel. Compared to the control PNIPAAm hydrogel, the deswelling and reswelling properties of the block copolymer hydrogels were significantly improved. The improved thermoresponsive properties of the PNIPAAm- b -PAA hydrogels have been interpreted on the basis of the formation of the architecture of the block copolymer networks.

Copper-catalyzed three-component redox-neutral ring opening of benzothiazoles with aryl iodides and O-benzoyl hydroxylamines for the synthesis of 1-amino-N-(2-(phenylthio)phenyl)methanimine has been developed. This one-pot reaction undergoes C–S and N–O bond cleavage and new C–S and C–N bond construction. Several control experiments excluded a free radical procedure and also demonstrated the secondary amine as a possible intermediate, which was vital to the catalytic reaction. Meanwhile, the deuteration experiment got rid of the C–H activation dehydroisomerization of the benzothiazole mechanism.

Scalp alopecia areata (SAA) is a common non-scarring hair loss condition, associated with factors such as autoimmune responses, genetics, emotional stress, and endocrine imbalances. Current treatments for SAA included minoxidil, topical steroid creams, biologics, and plant extracts.
Tea tree oil (TTO), a natural plant extract, is known for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and acaricidal properties, and it also provides nourishment for hair. In this research, a natural extract of TTO, was prepared to analyze its antibacterial properties. The hair follicle stem cells
(HFSCs) of patients with primary SAA were analyzed to understand the influences of TTO on migration of HFSCs. TTO was extracted from fresh tea tree leaves using steam distillation. Quantitative analysis of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) qualitative analysis and its total ion
chromatogram using area normalization method were conducted. Meanwhile, its antibacterial activity was tested against five common pathogens (Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Staphylococcus albus (S. albus), Pseudomonas
aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), and Candida albicans (C. albicans)) by measuring the diameter of inhibition zones (DIZ), minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). HFSCs were isolated from patients with SAA and cultured in
vitro, with cell identification performed through cytokeratin 15 (K15) immunofluorescent staining. The HFSCs were then exposed to varying concentrations (0.0, 0.5, 2.0, 5.0, 10.0, and 25.0 mmol/L) of TTO for culture, and cell proliferation activity (CPA) was assessed using the 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide
(MTT) assay, while migration of HFSCs was evaluated using the Transwell chamber assay. Results demonstrated that the extracted TTO had a content of 0.69 g and an extraction rate of 2.32%. 36 components were identified, constituting 98.67% of the total, with 4-terpineol reaching a high concentration
of 48.35%. It exhibited a DIZ of less than 25 mm against all tested pathogens, with MIC values lower than 29 mg/mL and MBC values below 38 mg/mL. Patients with SAA displayed yellow and black dots, broken hair, malnourished and exclamation mark hairs, with few flag hairs observed in skin microscope
examination. Isolated and cultured HFSCs expressed K15 primarily in the cytoplasm and exhibited favorable growth dynamics. Treatment with various concentrations of TTO greatly increased CPA and migrated cell numbers in HFSCs, with the optimal effect observed at 5.0 mmol/L concentration of
TTO. In conclusion, the plant extract TTO possessed significant antibacterial activity and can promote proliferation and migration in vitro of HFSCs, suggesting its potential therapeutic application for SAA.

In this work, we have systematically studied the miscibility and phase structure of a hydrogen-bonded polymer blend composed of short rigid poly( N -acryloyl piperidine) (PAP) and long flexible poly(acrylic acid) (PAA). Ultrathin PAP/PAA blend films with various compositions were prepared by solution-casting method. It was found that the spin-coated blend films had distinct surface features with many protuberant domains that can be extracted by toluene. Composition analysis of the isolated protrusion domains and matrix domains revealed that PAP/PAA blend is a partially miscible system with PAP-rich protrusion phase (dispersed phase) and PAA-rich matrix phase. The hydrogen-bonding interaction between the amide carbonyl of PAP and hydroxyl of PAA (O=C ⋯ H-O) was found to account for the partial miscibility of these two components. Interestingly, only one positively shifted glass transition temperature (T g ) was detected for this blend. This behavior is very different from other reported partially miscible polymer blends, in which two inward shifted T g s are usually observed. Thermal analysis further disclosed that T g s of PAP-rich dispersed phase and PAA-rich matrix phase are very close to each other, thus merged into one broad T g presented in the blend. The close T g s of these two phases is attributed to the strong hydrogen-bonding interaction between PAP and PAA, which surpasses the compositional difference between them. At high PAP concentrations (above 60 mol percent), the separation of excess PAP in dispersed phase contributed to the appearance of a second T g that corresponds to that of PAP. Such phase behavior was further confirmed in the free-standing films of PAP/PAA blends.

The nickel phosphides have garnered increasing attention as an excellent catalytic site in the fields of electrocatalysis and hydrotreating, but their application in organic synthesis remains infrequent. In this study, ammonium phosphate and nickel chloride were employed as the doping sources for the first time to synthesize the Ni-based ZIF-8 precursor via the host–guest method. Subsequently, the precursor was pyrolyzed to obtain Ni2P nanoparticles (NPs) supported on N, P co-doped carbon. The composite materials exhibit elevated metal loading and effective dispersion due to the synergistic combination of phosphorus and nickel. Specifically, compared with Ni-NC, the optimal Ni2P-NCP-1 exhibits enhanced catalytic activity in the α-alkylation of arylacetonitriles with alcohols using KOH as the base. It shows a wide broad substrate scope at 140 °C for 12 h in n-octane using a hydrogen borrowing strategy. Through characterizations and mechanistic studies, it has been discovered that the introduction of P source not only provides more basic sites on carbon matrix but also leads to the formation of Ni2P NPs, which facilitates the catalytic efficiency by modifying the electronic structure of Ni. Compared with the metallic Ni species, the synergistic effect between Ni2P and acid-basic sites significantly influences the dehydrogenation of alcohols to generate Ni–H species. This study successfully achieves simultaneous phosphating of both the metal and support, and it also demonstrates that the N2P-NCP-1 catalyst has significant potential in the heterogeneous organic transformation field.

The chloroxylenol (PCMX) has shown well virucidal efficacy against COVID-19, but the large-scale utilization of which will undoubtedly pose extra environmental threaten. In the present study, the recycled industrial phenylenediamine residue was used and an integrated strategy of “carbonization-casting-activation” using super low-dose of activator and templates was established to achieve in-situ N/O co-doping and facile synthesis of a kind of hierarchical hyperporous carbons (HHPC). The sample of HHPC-1.25–0.5 obtained with activator and template to residue of 1.25 and 0.5 respectively shows super-high specific surface area of 3602 m 2 /g and volume of 2.81 cm 3 /g and demonstrates remarkable adsorption capacity of 1475 mg/g for PCMX in batch and of 1148 mg/g in dynamic column adsorption test. In addition, the HHPC-1.25–0.5 exhibits excellent reusability and tolerance for PCMX adsorption under various ionic backgrounds and real water matrix conditions. The combined physio-chemistry characterization, kinetic study and DFT calculation reveal that the enhanced high performances originate from the hierarchical pore structure and strong electrostatic interaction between PCMX and surface rich pyridinic-N and carbonyl groups.
