Open-shell organic radicals, characterized by their unique spin states, typically exhibit exceptional photothermal conversion efficiency. However, the development of open-shell organic radical materials with stability and high photothermal properties remains a challenge. Among these radicals, the stable and commercialized 4-OH-TEMPO radical molecule has garnered considerable attention in various organic synthesis reactions owing to its unique redox advantages, but it shows less application comparing with the other open-shell organic radicals in photo-thermal conversion. In this study, 4-OH-TEMPO exhibits favorable photothermal properties upon combination with Cu 2 + , thus it is capable of enhancing the reaction rate of HMF oxidation to DFF by a factor of 10 under LED (400 nm). Under illumination of LED, leading to the complete conversion of HMF and the generation of DFF with a yield of 99.7 % within 30 min. Mechanism study shows that the photothermal effect facilitates the kinetic process of the reaction, and accelerated conversion of 4-OH-TEMPO to the oxidatively active species 4-OH-TEMPO + under light-induced action further increased the reaction rate. This research proffers novel insights and references for 4-OH-TEMPO mediated organic synthesis reactions and the design of free-radical photothermal materials.

Size restrictions pose increasing challenges to the acoustic performance of microspeakers in portable devices as the size of such devices, and thus the back volume of microspeakers, continues to shrink. Filling the back volume with porous materials, such as zeolites, has been proved to be an effective strategy for improving acoustic performance. In this work, hierarchically structured ZSM-5 zeolites with abundant mesopores were synthesized via the traditional hydrothermal method by adjusting the SiO2/Al2O3ratios (SAR), and their pore structures and morphologies were systematically investigated. Their acoustic enhancement performance was evaluated using a commercial microspeaker. Based on their acoustic properties, the influence of pore structure on acoustic performance was further studied. The ZSM-5 zeolite sample with an SAR of 614, which exhibited the maximum mesopore volume, demonstrated exceptional acoustic enhancement performance with a resonance offset of 199.53 Hz and an enhanced sound pressure level of 4.74 dB at 500 Hz. The presence of mesopores significantly facilitates diffusion within the zeolite crystals, enabling air molecules to access more micropores for efficient sorption–desorption processes during diaphragm vibration in microspeakers. Furthermore, supermicropores were found to contribute to improved performance by adsorbing air molecules during diaphragm vibration, complementing the role of micropores.

The selective oxidation of methane to form methanol and acetic acid has been studied using AuPd nanoparticles supported on the zeolite H-ZSM-5 in water at 240 °C using molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant in the absence of any added coreductant. The addition of Pd to Au/ZSM-5 significantly increases the selectivity to acetic acid to levels approaching almost complete selectivity within the oxygenated products. However, we observe that the reaction conditions employed lead to the corrosion of the stainless-steel components of the autoclave reactor and also leaching of iron from the ZSM-5 zeolite, and hence the AuPd nanoparticles, on reaction, become coated or partially coated with an oxidic Fe shell. The presence of the oxidized iron coating hinders nanoparticle agglomeration preventing deactivation of the AuPd/ZSM-5 catalyst but does not adversely affect the observed catalysis.

Gallium-modified Zeolite Socony Mobil-5 (ZSM-5) zeolites were synthesized using wetness impregnation and hydrothermal synthesis methods. The structural and acidic properties of the zeolites were characterized through an analytical instrument, which demonstrated that Gallium-modified HZSM-5 zeolites retain the Mobil five instructure (MFI) framework structure, but exhibit a reduction in Brønsted acid sites and a decrease in micropore size. The catalytic performance of these zeolites in the pyrolysis of cellulose biomass and polyethylene was tested. Compared with HZSM-5, Ga-modified HZSM-5 zeolites considerably increased monoaromatic yields while reducing alkanes production. In particular, gallium-impregnated HZSM-5 increased the monoaromatic yield from 37.6% for ZSM-5 to 43.2%, while hydrothermal synthesized Ga-HMFI reduced polyaromatic and alkane yields from 6.6% and 24.6% for HZSM-5 to 2.9% and 11.4%, respectively. These results indicated that Ga-modified HZSM-5 zeolites can improve the synergy between cellulose-derived oxygenates and polyethylene-derived olefins, enhancing the yield of petrochemical hydrocarbons compared to that predicted by theoretical calculations.

5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), also known as serotonin, plays a critical role in mood regulation, insomnia treatment, and free radical scavenging. Currently, 5-HT production primarily relies on plant extraction, which is challenged by limited raw materials and environmental concerns, emphasizing the need for innovative green production strategies. In this study, we explored a high-performance producer for biosynthesizing 5-HT in Escherichia coli. First, we constructed and optimized the 5-HT biosynthetic pathway to convert L-tryptophan (l-Trp) to 5-HT, avoiding the accumulation of tryptamine and 5-hydroxytryptophan. Moreover, precursor enrichment eliminated the need for l-Trp supplementation and dynamic downregulation of pyruvate kinase balanced growth and production. Further, the metabolic flux between the tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) module and the hydroxylation-decarboxylation module was optimized, reducing l-Trp accumulation. A novel “GXAA” system was implemented to enhance intracellular NAD(P)H supply, including (1) expression of gdhbsu (glucose dehydrogenase) from Bacillus subtilis, gapXfbr (mutated glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase) from Corynebacterium glutamicum, and pntAB (pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase); (2) knockout of ldhA (lactate dehydrogenase). Finally, transcriptomic analysis under high-5-HT stress revealed a potential 5-HT transporter, YhjX. The resulting strain WW15 produced 15.5 g/L 5-HT and a yield of 0.063 g/g glucose through a two-stage fed-batch fermentation, representing the highest titer and yield reported to date.

Low melting systems consisting of ammonium salts and highly concentrated fructose were used for the conversion of fructose into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). Not only acting as solvents, at sufficiently high temperatures, the ammonium salts themselves could also catalyse the dehydration of fructose to HMF. Among those salts, tetraethyl ammonium chloride (TEAC) was found to be the most efficient solvent-catalyst, demonstrated by its ability to achieve 81.3% HMF yield with 33.3 wt% fructose concentration at 120 °C. 79.2% HMF yield was obtained with 50 wt% fructose concentration in the TEAC/fructose system using 5 mol% NaHSO 4 ·H 2 O as a co-catalyst. A semi continuous biphasic system of TEAC/fructose/NaHSO 4 ·H 2 O melt using tetrahydrofuran (THF) to recover HMF was proposed and demonstrated in a laboratory scale process operating at 120 °C. The impurities in the HMF recovered, involving TEAC and NaHSO 4 ·H 2 O, were determined using 1 H NMR, elemental analysis and ICP-OES.

Herein, we synthesized and used a novel pillar[5]arene with two functionalizable rims (AP5A-C10-OAc) as stationary phase in gas chromatography (GC). The AP5A-C10-OAc column (0.25 mm, i.d.) showed a high column efficiency of 4107 plates/m and medium polarity. The AP5A-C10-OAc stationary phase possesses unique amphiphilic structure, including a π-electron rich cavity and two functionalized arms composed of five nonpolar alkyl chains and five polar ester chains, and showed good separation performance for diverse types of analytes and isomers (apolar/polar, aliphatic/aromatic). Particularly, the AP5A-C10-OAc phase showed high selectivity for the challenging isomers of chloronitrobenzenes, bromonitrobenzenes, benzenediols, and iodoanilines with distinct advantages if compared with the commercial polysiloxane column.

Among the families of modern energy storage devices, the potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are emerging as a shining star with desired high energy density and interesting commercial application prospect. However, they still encounter the big question with intrinsically bad cycle stability, especially under high-temperature working conditions. In this work, we report the progress on exploring high-temperature PIBs with ultrahigh stability, based on metal organic framework-5 (MOF-5) as anode materials. At the fixed working temperature of 62.5 °C, the as-constructed PIBs have initial discharge and charge specific capacities of respective ∼ 1183 and 210 mA h g −1 at a current density of 200 mA g −1 , and hold a specific capacity of 160 mA h g −1 with a low decay of 0.15% per cycle over 150 cycles. Even at a high current density of 500 mA g −1 , they deliver a reversible specific capacity of 56 mA h g −1 with a tiny decay of 0.018% per cycle over 3000 cycles, which is the state-of-the-art one among those of high-temperature PIBs ever reported. The energy storage mechanism based on C O bond as the redox center is proposed.

Fabricating zeolite-supported catalysts with excellent catalytic performance for hydroconversion of bio-oils into high-quality fuels is still a great challenge. Herein, hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolites were successfully synthesized with 3-[(trimethoxysilyl) propyl] octadecyldimethylammonium chloride as a mesoporous template. The hierarchical ZSM-5 supported Pt catalysts (Pt/HZ-x) were used to enhance the hydrodeoxygenation of dibenzofuran into bicyclohexane, and the influence of acidity distribution on the reaction pathways was investigated by tailoring the Si/Al molar ratios (50, 75, and 100). For all catalysts, cycloalkanes were produced via the partial hydrogenation of the aromatic rings to generate tetrahydrodibenzofuran, followed by the cleavage of C—O bond. The optimal bicyclohexane selectivity (86.8%) was obtained on Pt/HZ-75 catalyst due to the good synergistic effect between metal dispersion and acid distribution. This catalyst also showed excellent stability because of its strong metal–support interactions. Even after reused five times, the catalytic activity was almost unchanged compared with the fresh one. Furthermore, the possible reaction pathways for conversion of dibenzofuran into bicyclohexane over Pt/HZ-x catalysts were developed.

In 2 O 3 (ZnO) k superlattice ceramics are promising oxide thermoelectric materials, as superlattice interfaces are effective in scattering phonons and filtering low-energy electrons to decrease thermal conductivity and improve the figure of merit ( ZT ) value. In this work, homologous compounds were prepared by solid-state reaction method using ZnO and In 2 O 3 as raw materials. Phase purity and crystal structure were characterized by x-ray diffraction, revealing that In 2 O 3 (ZnO) k crystallizes in an R3 m space group for odd k values and P6 3 /mmc for even k values. The study of thermoelectric (TE) properties showed that as k increased, the thickness of InO(ZnO)

The electrochemical coupling of biomass oxidation and nitrogen conversion presents a potential strategy for high value-added chemicals and nitrogen cycling. Herein, in this work, CuO/Co 3 O 4 with heterogeneous interface is successfully constructed as a bifunctional catalyst for the electrooxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid and the electroreduction of nitrate to ammonia (NH 3 ). The open-circuit potential spontaneous experiment shows that more 5-hydroxymethylfurfural molecules are adsorbed in the Helmholtz layer of the CuO/Co 3 O 4 composite, which certifies that the CuO/Co 3 O 4 heterostructure is conducive to the kinetic adsorption of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. In situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy further shows that CuO/Co 3 O 4 has faster reaction kinetics and lower reaction potential in oxygen evolution reaction and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural electrocatalytic oxidation. Moreover, CuO/Co 3 O 4 also has a good reduction effect on NO 3 − $$ {\mathrm{NO}}_3^{-} $$ . The ex-situ Raman spectroscopy shows that under the reduction potential, the metal oxide is reduced, and the generated Cu 2 O can be used as a new active site for the reaction to promote the electrocatalytic conversion of NO 3 − $$ {\mathrm{NO}}_3^{-} $$ to NH 3 synthesis. This work provides valuable guidance for the synthesis of value-added chemicals by 5-hydroxymethylfurfural electrocatalytic oxidation coupled with NO 3 − $$ {\mathrm{NO}}_3^{-} $$ while efficiently producing NH 3 .

Mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolites were synthesized by using hydrophilic carbon black as a hard template. Hydrophobic carbon black was oxidized with sodium hypochlorite solution then dispersed into the synthetic precursor, and hydrothermally treated by omitting the evaporation process. The samples were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD , nitrogen adsorption/desorption and NH 3 -TPD measurements. As a result, mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolites were obtained in the morphology of single crystal like aggregates (about ∼2 μm) with intra-mesopores in the range of 5–18 nm. Textural properties and acidity of mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolites were varied by adjusting the amount of carbon black used. In the toluene disproportionation, mesoporous ZSM-5 templated by hydrophilic carbon black showed more active in toluene conversion and more selective to the para -xylene than conventional zeolite, and even comparable to the commercial zeolite catalyst.
