Two-step catalytic pyrolysis of Nannochloropsis sp (NS) was conducted with SBA-15 and ZSM-5. Thermogravimetric analyzer (TG) and pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) were used to investigate the effects of SBA-15 and ZSM-5 on the two-step pyrolysis of NS. The comparative study showed that ZSM-5 and SBA-15 had different effects on the pyrolysis characteristic of NS because of their different property. ZSM-5 had no effects on the kinetic mechanism, but SBA-15 obviously changed DTG curves and the reaction order of the low temperature pyrolysis stage. SBA-15 increased the contents of amines and alkanes to 19.40% and 5.62% in the first step compared with those of the one-step pyrolysis (1.95% and 1.83%). Due to the stronger acid sites, ZSM-5 improved the content of olefins (33.79%) and esters (10.79%) in the first step and the contents of nitriles (11.75%) and aromatic hydrocarbons (31.01%) in the second step compared with those of one-step pyrolysis (10.61%, 5.41%, 0.00%, 8.42%). Acid catalyst had no positive effects on the generation of N-heterocyclic compounds. This study is expected to provide a reference for the efficient pyrolysis utilization of microalgae.

Conductive two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit excellent electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption properties at high frequencies due to their high conductivity loss. However, their unsatisfactory EMW absorption at low frequencies, attributed to impedance mismatch, remains a significant challenge. In this work, high-conductivity 1T′ WTe 2 nanosheets were incorporated into insulating mesoporous channels of Santa Barbara Amorphous-15 (SBA-15) via chemical vapor deposition (CVD), resulting in the formation of 1T′ WTe 2 /SBA-15 composites. These mesoporous channels restrict the growth of 1T′ WTe 2 and hinder carrier migration cross the channels, reducing their conductivity. Meanwhile, heterogeneous interfaces were formed between 1T′ WTe 2 nanosheets and mesoporous channels of SBA-15, accompanied by defects within the 1T′ WTe 2 nanosheets. This interaction promotes dipole polarization losses, significantly enhancing the attenuation of incident EMW, particularly at low frequencies. Consequently, the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 1T’ WTe 2 /SBA-15 composites within the S band reached to 0.72 GHz, ranging from 3.28 GHz to 4.0 GHz, with a minimum reflection loss (RL min ) of −26.5 dB at 3.68 GHz. Furthermore, the EAB of the composites extended to 3.92 GHz at 1.5 mm in the high-frequency range. This work introduces a novel strategy for enhancing EMW absorption performance in the S band through heterogeneous interfaces and defect engineering, driven by the limiting effects of mesoporous channels.

Although thermocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-formylfuran (DFF) by O2 is an important reaction, achieving a high yield of DFF is still challenging. In this study, a series of MoxCuy/NH2-SBA-15 are prepared, and Mo3Cu1/NH2-SBA-15 exhibits the desirable catalytic reactivity with a complete conversion of HMF and high selectivity of 94.4% toward DFF. XPS and EPR analyses indicate that the abundant oxygen vacancies (Ov) and Cu(I) are the reactive sites for O2 activation. Quenching experiments and various characterizations reveal that superoxo (≡Cu(II)/Ov-OO•) on the surface of catalyst, instead of •OH and O2•–, are the primary oxidizing species to abstract H from HMF to RCH2-O•, accompanied by the formation of ≡Cu(II)/Ov-OOH peroxo. Meanwhile, the doped Mo(V/VI) further activates ≡Cu(II)/Ov-OOH peroxo to form ≡Mo-(η2-O2) peroxo, which significantly promotes the oxidation selectivity of RCH2-O• toward DFF via the H-abstraction pathway. This study provides new insight on selective thermal-oxidation of biomass-derived compounds to high-value-added chemicals via regulating reactive oxidizing species on the surface of catalysts.

Background. Ferroptosis is a newly identified form of programmed cell death caused by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Our study was designed to determine the expression patterns and role of 15-lipoxygenase-1 (ALOX15) in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and to investigate whether cepharanthine (CEP) can inhibit ferroptosis by inhibiting ALOX15 in specific cell types. Methods. A mouse model of SAH was developed by the endovascular perforation method. bEend.3 endothelial cells and BV2 microglial cells as well as RSL3 and hemin were used to simulate SAH in vitro. Mice and cell lines were treated with CEP and a group of specific oxygenase inhibitors to explore the protection effect from ferroptosis. Lipid peroxidation staining with BODIPY 581/591 C11 and transmission electron microscopy were used to identify ferroptosis in vitro and in vivo. Results. In the present study, the accumulation of lipid peroxide, a defect in the glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4)/glutathione (GSH) antioxidant system, highly expressed ALOX15 in microglia and endothelium, and ferroptotic changes in microglial mitochondria confirmed the occurrence of ferroptosis after SAH in vivo. Further, CEP was shown to inhibit ferroptosis and improve neurological function by downregulating the expression of ALOX15. During in vitro experiments, we investigated the important role ALOX15 in RSL3-induced endothelial ferroptosis. In addition, we found that M2-type microglia are more sensitive to RSL3-induced ferroptosis than M1-type microglia and that hemin probably induced ferroptosis in M2-type microglia by increasing ALOX15 levels and decreasing GPx4 levels. The effect of CEP treatment was also demonstrated in vitro. Conclusions. In summary, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first study demonstrating that ferroptosis occurred in the microglia and endothelium after SAH, and this process was facilitated by increased ALOX15 levels. More importantly, treatment with CEP could inhibit ferroptosis through downregulating the expression of ALOX15.

The objective of this study was to explore the effects and underlying mechanisms of miR-690 on hepatic steatosis in db/db mice. Our findings revealed that miR-690 was downregulated in the liver of db/db mice and high-glucose (HG)-treated NCTC1469 cells. In vivo, miR-690 overexpression alleviated hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and hyperinsulinemia, improved liver function, and mitigated steatosis and pathological damage. In vitro , miR-690 enhanced cell viability and glucose uptake while reducing lipid deposition. Mechanistically, bioinformatics analysis identified 15-LOX and NF-KappaB P65 as potential miR-690 targets, with their expression levels inversely correlated with miR-690. Furthermore, treatment with miR-690 agomir downregulated 15-LOX and NF-KappaB P65, although dual-luciferase reporter assays confirmed that 15-LOX is indirectly targeted by miR-690. Additionally, miR-690 agomir increased LC3BII/I and Beclin1 levels while decreased P62 and p-mTOR (Ser2448)/mTOR and induced autophagosome formation. Moreover, overexpression of 15-LOX or NF-KappaB P65 reversed the protective effects of miR-690 on autophagy. Collectively, these results suggest that miR-690 exerts hepatoprotective effects against diabetic hepatic steatosis by activating autophagy via modulating 15-LOX and NF-KappaB P65, providing experimental evidence for its potential use in the treatment of hepatic steatosis in diabetes, and new insight into diabetes drug development for targeting miR-690.

Ruthenium nanoparticles supported onto aluminum-doped mesoporous silica catalysts (Ru/Al–SBA-15) are fabricated using hydrothermal and impregnation methods for catalysis application. The Ru/Al–SBA-15-3 catalyst at a Si/Al molar ratio of 3 exhibited excellent catalytic performance for the hydrogenation of p-phthalic acid with high conversion efficiency (100.0%) and cis-isomer selectivity (84.0%) in water. Moreover, this system displays exceptional stability and recyclability through preserving the conversion efficiency, as well as a cis-isomer selectivity of 90.2 and 83.3%, respectively, after reusing it fourteen times. Such an exceptional system can also be ideal for the hydrogenation of aromatic dicarboxylic acids and their ester derivatives in water. Strong Lewis acid sites due to doped Al species play significant roles in the hydrogenation reaction. Moreover, isotope labeling studies indicated that water molecules effectively participated in the hydrogenation reaction. Hydrogen and water contributed half of the hydrogen atoms for this hydrogenation reaction. In the end, a plausible mechanistic pathway for the hydrogenation of p-phthalic acid using the Ru/Al–SBA-15-3 catalyst in water is proposed.

Selective catalytic hydrotreatment of lignin-derived phenols and dimeric ethers into alkanes is crucial for utilization of lignin and its fragments. Herein, we developed an efficient catalytic system with well-dispersed metal nanoparticles supported on SBA-15 synergistic with an ionic liquid. The catalytic system could catalyze the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of various monomeric and dimeric lignin-derived phenols into the corresponding alkanes under acid free conditions. The synergistic [Bmim]PF6-Ru/SBA-15 (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate) catalysis exhibited the best HDO activity for lignin-derived phenols and dimeric ethers with >99.0% conversion and maximum >98.0% selectivity of the corresponding alkanes. The yield of cyclohexane from diphenyl ether was 97.7% with 100% conversion under 2 MPa H2 at 130 °C for 6 h. The mechanism investigation confirmed that the Ru/SBA-15 catalyst and the anion of [Bmim]PF6 played crucial roles in the hydrogenation process and deoxidization process, respectively. The catalytic system was reused six times for HDO of diphenyl ether to test its stability.

Cepharanthine (CEP) is a potential candidate for treatment of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. To investigate the effect of CEP on cerebral I/R injury, we established a mouse model of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) and a microglia cell model of oxygen and glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R). Administration of CEP attenuated neurological deficits, reduced infarct volume and edema, and decreased microglia activation in MCAO mice. Immunofluorescence staining showed an up-regulation in NLR Family Pyrin Domain Containing 3 (NLRP3) immunoreactivity in Iba1-labled microglia together with total Iba1 and NLRP3 expression in the brain following tMCAO, while down-regulated by CEP treatment. In both tMCAO-induced mice and OGD/R-treated BV-2 cells, CEP exhibited dose-dependent inhibition on the expression of NLRP3, ASC and cleaved caspase-1. Importantly, CEP attenuated tMCAO or OGD/R-induced overproduction of M1 microglia-regulated pro-inflammation cytokines IL-1β and IL-18, suggesting that CEP might involve in suppressing microglia polarization to M1 phenotype in vivo and in vitro . Moreover, CEP dose-dependently inhibited tMCAO-induced arachidonate 15 lipoxygenase (ALOX15) together with Iba1-labled microglia. The subsequent ALOX15-mediated oxidative stress was decreased by CEP treatment in vivo and in vitro , as evidenced by reduced ROS generation and MDA level, and increased SOD activity. Taken together, we demonstrate that CEP attenuates cerebral I/R injury probably by inhibiting microglia activation and NLRP3 inflammasome-induced inflammation and reducing oxidative stress via suppressing 12/15-LOX signaling.

Hole transport layer-free, carbon-based, all-inorganic CsPbI 3 perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have exhibited great potential in photovoltaic applications owing to their low cost and excellent thermal stability. However, the low power conversion efficiency (PCE) hampers its development, mainly due to the existence of defects inside the CsPbI 3 film or at TiO 2 electron transport layer/CsPbI 3 interface. Herein, these issues were addressed through a facile TiO 2 post-treatment strategy using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole hexafluorophosphate (BMIMPF 6 ) ionic liquid. First, BMIMPF 6 can passivate TiO 2 /CsPbI 3 interface defects by forming strong bond between the electron-rich N atoms and uncoordinated ions. Second, BMIMPF 6 -modified TiO 2 shows reduced hydrophilicity, inducing decreased heterogeneous nucleation and is favorable for obtaining high-quality CsPbI 3 film. Thirdly, the non-volatile BMIMPF 6 can diffuse to the perovskite film surface during annealing, further passivating defects located at perovskite grain boundaries and surface. Based on this one-step ionic liquid interface-to-bulk modification, the modified device achieves a champion PCE of 15.09%, which is 14% higher than the control device (13.27%). In addition, the modified device also shows enhanced long-term stability, which remains 96% of initial PCE after 30 days storage in dry air. The work demonstrates the superiority of multifunctional ionic liquid applied to all-inorganic carbon-based PSCs, providing a guidance for its commercialization.

Heterogenization of homogeneous catalysts without the loss of activity is still a huge challenge. Herein, homogeneous [HTMG][His][I] amino acid ionic liquid (IL), consisting of 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine cation, histidine anion and iodine anion, were introduced into the pore channels of SBA-15 substrate with the assistance of supercritical CO 2 (scCO 2 ) media. Due to its low viscosity, high diffusivity and absence of surface tension, scCO 2 enabled [HTMG][His][I] to highly disperse in SBA-15 pore channels. Surprisingly, [HTMG][His][I]/SBA-15 heterogeneous catalyst displayed higher CO 2 cycloaddition activity (95% propylene carbonate yield) than equivalent molar pristine [HTMG][His][I] homogeneous catalyst (69% propylene carbonate yield) under the identical conditions. The significantly enhanced activity was resulted from the synergistic effect of [HTMG][His][I] and SBA-15 support. Moreover, [HTMG][His][I]/SBA-15 performed outstanding universality of various epoxides and reusability. This work developed a promising strategy to heterogenization of homogeneous IL catalyst assisted by scCO 2 as synthetic media and provided an efficient catalyst for CO 2 conversion.

Catalytic pyrolysis of corn cob lignin were preformed using a tailored HZSM-5 @Al-SBA-15 hierarchical zeolite for the production of value-added aromatic hydrocarbon. Resulted showed that the highly ordered two-dimensional p6mm mesoporous shell could uniformly form on the surface of HZSM-5 core phase. The porosity and acidity of the HZSM-5 @Al-SBA-15 could be tailored by adjusting the TEOS/HZSM-5 mass ratio in the synthesis process. The aromatic hydrocarbon components regulated due to pre-cracking and enhanced diffusion via the mesoporous shell, as well as the retained shape-selectivity of the HZSM-5 core. Herein, the relative content of MAHs reached 45.02% with fewer poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) of 25.91% when the TEOS/HZSM-5 mass ratio of 1.0. However, the length of the diffusion path had a certain impact on the anti-coking behavior. The catalytic stability of the hierarchical zeolites was also improved, with less coke formation than HZSM-5 alone. This work demonstrates that using a tailored hierarchical zeolite to regulate aromatic hydrocarbon components is feasible, and provide a reference for the practical application of agricultural crop wastes.

In this work, the novel acid-base bi-functional mesoporous SBA-15 catalysts with four kinds of morphologies were synthesized by Mg incorporated and sulfated zirconia (SZ) grafted. The introduction of Mg to mesoporous SBA-15 materials significantly improves the strength of the base. And the supported SZ group exhibit effective Brønsted/Lewis acid strength. The physical and chemical properties of the prepared materials were systematically analyzed by the characterization tests of SEM, TEM, XRD , N 2 adsorption-desorption of, FT-IR, TGA , XPS, NH 3 /CO 2 -TPD and in-suit PY-IR. The obtained catalysts of SZ@Mg-SBA-15 could be applied to the fructose conversion into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) with the co-solvent system of iPrOH/DMSO ( v / v = 9:1). 5-HMF was achieved under the optimal reaction condition with the highest yield of 98.6%. The result shows that the reaction of fructose dehydration into 5-HMF could be caused by the combination of Brønsted acid site and basic site. This work developed reaction system could avoid the large use of environmentally dangerous solvents, and provides a new economical and feasible method for the large-scale conversion of fructose biomass.
