5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a bio-based platform chemical that may be converted into various chemicals and fuels. In the present study, we developed an advanced low-boiling single-phase reaction system for producing HMF from glucose. It consists of water and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DMOE) and uses AlCl3 as catalyst. Our results show that introduction of DMOE can substantially enhance HMF production because of the polar aprotic solvent effect provided by DMOE. Under optimal conditions, a high HMF yield (58.56%) was obtained. GC-MS of the liquid-phase products revealed that HMF and furans comprised 80% and ∼90% of the detected products. Formation of liquid-phase products, including furans, oxygenated aliphatics, cyclopenten-1-ones, and pyrans is discussed. Further study of the humins formed during glucose conversion showed the effective inhibition of humin formation by DMOE. The structure of humins was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. Finally, HMF production from disaccharides (sucrose, maltose and cellobiose) and polysaccharide (cellulose) using the water–DMOE system resulted in good yields, demonstrating that our single-phase water–DMOE solvent system has good potential use in HMF production from glucose and complex carbohydrates.

The aerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a key platform compound derived from biomass, to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a highly important reaction in the production of green and sustainable chemicals. Here, we developed a highly efficient and stable halloysite-supported Pt–Au alloy catalyst for the selective oxidation of HMF to FDCA. The catalyst was synthesized through the organosilane functionalization of halloysite nanotubes, followed by the in situ formation and dispersion of Pt–Au alloy nanoparticles on the internal and external surfaces of nanotubes. The composition, morphology, and structure of the prepared catalyst were characterized. The catalyst with the optimal composition of Pt/Au molar ratio of 1/4 and metal loading of 1.5 wt % exhibited outstanding catalytic activity for the oxidation of HMF to FDCA using O2 as an oxidant with 100% conversion of HMF and 99% selectivity of FDCA. This excellent catalytic performance is mainly attributed to the high dispersion and alloying effects of bimetallic nanoparticles, which promoted the activation of reactants or intermediates and further improved FDCA selectivity. Furthermore, the halloysite-supported Pt/Au bimetallic catalyst showed high stability and reusability. This study provides a promising strategy by combining clay mineral halloysite and bimetallic alloys for developing efficient catalysts with high FDCA selectivity and stability for the oxidation of HMF to FDCA.

The development of green energetic materials is based on environmental friendliness, safety and performance improvement. It is of great significance to design and synthesize new nitrogen rich salts for a new generation of green energetic materials. In the present work, a series of 3-amino-5-hydrazinopyrazole energetic salts comprising energetic anions were synthesized and were characterized using elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Compounds 1–5 were further confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction and the sensitivities were measured by the standard BAM methods. Additionally, the structure–property relationship was elucidated from the experimental results and theoretical calculations. Energetic salts of 2 and 5 exhibited high heat of formation (5, 1160.06 kJ mol−1), high decomposition temperature (2, 172 °C; 5, 186 °C), excellent detonation performance (2, Dv, 9076 m s−1, P 34.1 GPa; 5, Dv, 8974 m s−1, P 31.9 GPa), moderate sensitivity towards outer stimuli and high nitrogen contents (2, 41.03%; 5, 63.84%). This work increases future prospects for the design of insensitive and novel high-energy green energetic material.

Constructing a heterojunction to extend the survival time of photogenerated carriers is an effective way to increase the photocatalytic performance of materials. The 2D-2D flower-like DUT-5@Bi 2 WO 6 composite material is obtained via the hydrothermal method for the frist time. The efficiency of Rhodamine B removal based on 30% DUT-5@Bi 2 WO 6 is 87% under visible light for 18 min, which is 4.55 times that of pure Bi 2 WO 6 . RhB-sensitized effect plays a decisive role in enhancing the photocatalytic activity of DUT-5 to RhB under visible light. The results shows that the type I heterojunction is formed between RhB/DUT-5 and Bi 2 WO 6 . The wide contact surface stems from heterojunction can accelerate the separation and transfer of photo-generated charges. Furthermore, the high specific surface area and unique pore structure of DUT-5 provide sufficient active sites for photocatalytic reactions. Thus, the efficient charge transfer and sufficient active sites contribute to the photocatalytic activity. This work provides a new idea for the development of 2D-2D composite materials to degrade organic pollutants under visible light to solve environmental pollution.

Aluminum-rich ZSM-5 zeolite membranes are prepared on α-alumina support through organic template free precursor gels by secondary hydrothermal synthesis , microstructure of the membrane through the different Si/Al ratio and alkali metal fluoride synthesis gel are discussed in this work. Alkali metal fluorides have a significant influence on the synthesis of aluminum-rich ZSM-5 zeolite membranes without organic template, which are realized by the synergistic reaction of the “bridging” and “salting-out” effects. Sodium fluoride and potassium fluoride could produce dense and needle-like zeolites layer on the supports by an extremely low Si/Al ratio synthesis gel (Si/Al <10). When the Si/Al ratio of the initial synthesis gel is 18.52, the compact and prismatic ZSM-5 zeolites are fully covered on the supports with sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride or lithium fluoride. There are few of ZSM-5 zeolites could form on the support by cesium fluoride containing synthesis gel.

In this study, 5-nonyl salicylaldoxime (5-NSA) was synthesized and used as a malachite collector. Its flotation performances and adsorption mechanism were systematically investigated by micro-flotation experiments, contact angle measurements, SEM-EDS, FT-IR, XPS and DFTB+ simulations. The micro-flotation test results showed that 5-NSA produced high recovery of malachite at pH 9.0–10.0, while showing lower collecting power to calcite or quartz. The contact angle analysis results indicated that the hydrophobicity of malachite surface was promoted after the adsorption of 5-NSA. SEM confirmed the adsorption of 5-NSA on malachite surface. FT-IR and XPS analysis results confirmed that O and N atoms in the oxime group were immobilized on malachite surface with Cu through O Cu O and N Cu O bonding. Their adsorption performances on malachite surface were simulated by DFTB+ method, including 5-NSA, tert -butylsalicylaldehyde oxime (TBSA) and salicylaldoxime agents, which analyzed the bond lengths of their covalent bond formation with Cu and speculated their adsorption properties. In general, according to the experimental test and simulation results, 5-NSA showed a stronger power to malachite than TBSA and salicylaldoxime, and only a small dosage can produce a high malachite recovery. The findings of this research will be helpful to improve the comprehensive utilization efficiency of malachite and promote the metallurgy of copper oxide ores.

The increasing number of infections caused by pathogenic bacteria has severely affected human society. More and more deaths were originated from Gram-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection each year. The potential and excellent bacteriostatic activity and resistance to biofilm formation of pillar[5]arene with different functional groups attract important attention to further study the relationship between antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity by varying the length of the hydrophobic chain, the number of positive charges, and the hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance of the molecule. In this work, four pyridinium-based cationic pillar[5]arene (PPs) with linear aliphatic chains of different lengths were synthesized. After systematic characterization, their inhibition activities against S. aureus were investigated. It revealed that PP6 (six methylenes in each linker) exhibited excellent inhibition activity against S. aureus (ATCC 6538) with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 3.91 μg/mL and a minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of 62.50 μg/mL. As expected, PP6 exhibited the strongest antibiofilm ability and negligible antimicrobial resistance even after the 20th passage. A study of the action mechanism of selected PPs on the bacterial membrane depolarization and permeability by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) disclosed that the cationic pyridine groups of PPs inserted into the negatively charged bacterial membranes, thereby leading to membranolysis, cytoplasmic content leakage, and cell death. Importantly, PPs all showed very low toxicity to mammalian cells (L929 and HBZY-1), which provided a significant reference for the construction of hypotoxic antibacterial biomaterials for multiple drug-resistant bacteria based on pyridinium-grafted cationic macrocycles with controllable hydrophobic chain lengths.

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a biomass-derived platform compound with great application potential. Herein, the efficient NbW-SBA-15 series catalysts were prepared by incorporating the niobium and tungsten into the pore wall of SBA-15 mesoporous silica. The physico-chemical features of NbW-SBA-15 catalysts with different proportions of niobium and tungsten were analyzed through ICP-AES, Low/Wide-angle XRD, N 2 adsorption–desorption, SEM, TEM, UV–Vis DRS, Raman spectroscopy, NH 3 -TPD, and Py-FTIR technologies. It was discovered that by changing the incorporating ratio of niobium and tungsten in the pore wall, the acidic nature (acid strength, acid density, and acid ratio) of the catalyst was adjusted, which in turn affected the catalytic performance. As the introduction molar ratio of niobium to tungsten is 1:1, the corresponding [1:1]NbW-SBA-15 catalyst occupied the highest acid density and stronger acid sites, showing the best catalytic activity. A desired HMF yield of 64% was obtained under optimal reaction conditions. Furthermore, after five consecutive testing cycles, the performance of [1:1]NbW-SBA-15 catalyst was maintained, confirming its outstanding hydrothermal stability. Graphical Abstract

The interaction between pyridine pillar[5]arene (PyP5) and 2-naphthol with the former as the host molecule and the latter as the guest molecule is studied by fluorescence spectroscopy and NMR techniques, and the results show that PyP5 forms a 1:1 host-guest inclusion complex with 2-naphthol. Although free 2-naphthol has strong fluorescence, it is quenched in 2-naphthol@PyP5. Experiments were conducted with 2-naphthol@PyP5 as a fluorescent probe to detect different anions with results showing that only CO32− causes a significant enhancement of the fluorescence of the fluorescent probe. Due to this high selectivity and high sensitivity, the fluorescent probe 2-naphthol@PyP5 may open up an effective way for the detection of CO32−.

To explore the effect of channel properties on catalytic activity, ZSM-5 zeolite nanosheets were synthesized with di-quaternary ammonium-type surfactant and used in n-heptane cracking reaction. Nanosheet thickness was changed from around 4 nm–20 nm by adjusting the ratio of surfactant to tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). The synthesized zeolite nanosheets were characterized by physical and chemical adsorption , electron microscopy , X-ray diffraction (XRD), pyridine infrared (Py-IR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Raman spectra. The results showed that zeolite with thicker nanosheets had more microporosity and was more conducive to remarkably improving the selectivity of light olefins . High mesoporosity of zeolite nanosheets greatly reduces the diffusion resistance and accelerates mass transfer which even increases the direct diffusion of insufficiently cracked intermediates. Thicker zeolite nanosheets with more micropores prolong the reaction time and thus improve the selectivity of target products.

The real-time detection of neurotransmitters had attracted more attention due to the potential to provide vital information for pathology research, disease diagnosis, and clinical efficacy evaluation. Here, a magnetic-mediated nano sensor was developed to improve sensitivity for detection of serotonin (5-HT). The PDMS membrane doped with magnetic particles serves as a conversion element, enhancing the deformation of the thin film caused by surface stress under the action of a magnetic field and amplifying the resistance response signal of the nano sensor. The 5-HT detection associated with neurotransmitter diseases serve as a proof of concept revealing the magnetic sensitization. The detection limit of the 5-HT was decreased to 3.21 nM in the linear range of 5–500 nM, which was lower than that of the nano sensor without magnetic field. The clinical 5-HT samples were also been accurately detected, indicating a positive application potential of the as-prepared magnetic-mediated nano sensor. All these results reveal the high sensitivity and practicality of the as-prepared magnetic-mediated nano sensor and provide a new method for neurotransmitter diseases diagnosis.

The supramolecular interaction between the water-soluble pillar[5]arene (WP[5]) as host and dopamine hydrochloride (DH) as guest was studied by spectrofluorometry . The fluorescence intensity of DH gradually decreased with increasing WP[5] concentration, and the possible interaction mechanism between WP[5] and DH was confirmed by 1 H NMR, 2D NOESY , and molecular modelling. Based on significant DH fluorescence, a highly sensitive and selective method for DH determination was developed for the first time. The fluorescence intensity was measured at 312 nm, with excitation at 285 nm. The effects of pH, temperature, and reaction time on the fluorescence spectra of the WP[5]-DH complex were investigated. A linear relationship between fluorescence intensity and DH concentration in the range of 0.07–6.2 μg mL − 1 was obtained. The corresponding linear regression equation is Δ F = 25.76 C + 13.56 (where C denotes the concentration in μg mL − 1 ), with the limit of detection equal to 0.03 μg mL − 1 and the correlation coefficient equal to 0.9996. This method can be used for the determination of dopamine in injection and urine samples. In addition, the WP[5]-DH complex has potential applications in fluorescent sensing and pharmacokinetics studies of DH.
