Unimolecular micelles have attracted intense interests as drug carriers for tumor chemotherapy owing to their superior stability in comparison with the self-assembled supramolecular ones. Among them, the dendritic polymers with the polar frameworks could favour the loading of chemotherapeutic drugs rather than the hyperbranched polymers via radical polymerization, by enhancing the interaction with drugs. While the tedious synthesis procedure for dendritic polymers could be simplified with the construction principle on urethane chemistry. Here, the PEGylated dendritic polyurethanes, Ph-DPU Gly -PEG and Ph-DPU TEA -PEG, were designed with glycerol or triethanolamine as monomer, respectively. The effect of the molecular architecture of the Ph-DPU-PEGs unimolecular micelles on the controlled drug releasing performance was compared. It was found that the Ph-DPU TEA -PEG with tertiary amine as branching points could efficiently endow the pH-triggered drug release, due to its protonation.

The development of new kinds of organic semiconductor-based photocatalysts has being attracting more and more research attentions due to their advantages over traditional inorganic photocatalysts and their great application prospects. In this work, polyacrylonitrile (PAN), a low-cost homopolymer largely used in the textile industry, was found for the first time to possess the photocatalytic capability due to its good light absorption and proper electronic band structure to generate radicals. Under simulated solar illumination, it successfully degraded organic pollutants of phenol and sulfamethoxazole (SMX), and disinfected Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) bacteria. After 2 h treatment, the residual concentrations of phenol and SMX decreased to ∼ 75.9 % and ∼ 89 % respectively, while the survival ratio of E. coli cells dropped to only ∼ 28 % after 1 h treatment. h + and ·O 2 – were found to be the main active species in its photocatalytic process. It had a good stability and reusability, and worked well in the real water matrix of tap water, beneficial for its practical applications. PAN, PAN-based organics, and organics with similar structures as PAN could become a new series of organic semiconductor-based photocatalysts for various technical applications, especially as wearable products with self-disinfection property to provide protection against bacteria and viruses.

Citrus fruits (CFs) were abundant in polyphenols (PPs). This study aimed to assess the effect of mixed lactic acid anaerobic fermentation-based biotransformation on CFs phenolic profiles and antioxidant activity. Citrus PPs were metabolized into small molecular phenolics. Moreover, the total SCFAs, acetic acid and butyric acid were remarkably increased in CFs supernatant ( p < 0.05), and the populations of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lactobacillus acidophilus significantly increased ( p < 0.05). Finally, fermented CFs exhibited strong antioxidant activity by reducing ROS fluorescence intensity induced by lipopolysaccharide and increasing mitochondrial membrane potential in Caco-2 cells. These findings indicate that citrus PPs microbial derivatives could act as key active ingredients in functional foods.

Microporous organic polymers with high surface area are widely used in many applications. Among them, hypercrosslinked polymers have been extensively concerned because of their simple processes and low-cost reagents. However, due to most state-of-the-art strategies for HCPs based on condensation reactions, the release of small molecules such as hydrochloric acid and methanol involved in such strategies brings about new hazards to environment. Herein, we propose a method of fabrication of hypercrosslinked polymers via self-addition polymerization of divinyl benzene and its crosslinking with polar aromatic molecules. The hypercrosslinked polyDVB-based products are demonstrated by Friedel-Crafts addition reaction of double bonds on DVB that can connect adjacent phenyl rings of aromatic molecules to form the crosslinked networks. The HCPDVB-CB obtained in 1-chlorobutane as solvent has a high micropore content and displays high surface area up to 931 m 2 /g. Following this finding, DVB is used as a novel external crosslinker for knitting polar aromatic molecules. When L-phenylalanine and bisphenol A are used as the aromatic units, the obtained HCP(Phe-DVB) and HCP(BPA-DVB) could reach surface area of 612 and 471 m 2 /g, and have hydrogen uptake of 0.62 wt% and 0.58 wt% at 77 K and 1.13 bar by comparison with HCPDVB-CB having hydrogen uptake of 0.30 wt%, respectively.

A family of graphene-based activators including reduced graphene oxide (RGO), nitrogen doped reduced graphene oxide (NRGO), zero-valent manganese loaded reduced graphene oxide (Mn-RGO) and zero-valent manganese loaded N-doped reduced graphene oxide (Mn-NRGO) were fabricated to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for bisphenol A (BPA) degradation. A significant synergistic effect between loaded manganese nano-particles (Mn-NPs) and doped N was revealed by comparing the apparent reaction rate constants with about 12.4, 7.6 and 10.5-folds enhancement when compared Mn-NRGO with RGO, NRGO, Mn-RGO, respectively. By integrating the results of chemical scavenger experiment, electron paramagnetic resonance test, galvanic oxidation process, PMS stoichiometric efficiency, linear sweep voltammetry and in-situ Raman spectrum, a predominant outer-sphere catalyst-PMS complexes mediated electron transfer pathway was uncovered. Based on kinetic studies, the specific contribution of synergistic effect was quantified to be at least 70%. The calculated Fermi level advanced by 0.03 eV in Mn-NG compared with that in NG, demonstrating that Mn-NG is more liable to donate electrons to PMS. The E ads and l O-O results pointed out that synergistic effect between Mn-NPs and doped N relied on the intimate affinity between Mn-NPs and HSO 5 – which triggered more uneven distribution of charge on the whole carbon sheets, and more adsorption of HSO 5 – on carbon framework. These newly created adsorption consequently reinforcing the formation of catalyst-PMS complexes and the elevation of mediated electron transfer pathway. Overall, this study firstly provides a comprehensive and definite insight of the synergistic effect between loaded Mn-NPs and doped-N on carbon materials for promoting PMS activation to degrade organics.

An improved method for hydrogen production by the steam reforming of phenol over novel fly ash-based catalysts is investigated. The Ni/Al 2 O 3 -ash catalysts are prepared by an equal-volume impregnation method and characterized by XRD , FESEM , BET and H 2 -TPR techniques. The effects of various process parameters including mixing ratio of fly ash, temperature, support, gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) and steam-to-carbon molar ratio (S/C) on the catalytic activity are investigated. The results show that fly ash mixing at 50 wt% and choosing γ-Al 2 O 3 as the support own the best performance. A maximum hydrogen yield of 83.8% is achieved at 450 °C with a S/C of 10 and a GHSV of 4968 h −1 with a maximum phenol conversion of 98.6%. The stability of the Ni-ash1-γA1 catalyst is further investigated and it is shown to continuously and stably react for more than 20 h at 450 °C with excellent catalytic reaction stability.

Graphene oxide (GO) channels exhibit unique mass transport behaviors due to their flexibility, controllable thinness and extraordinary physicochemical properties, enabling them to be widely used for adsorption and membrane separation. Nevertheless, the adsorption behavior of nanosized contaminants within the channels of GO membrane has not been fully discussed. In this study, we fabricated a GO membrane (PG n , where n represents the deposition cycles of GO) with multi channels via the cross-linking of GO and multibranched poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI). Phenol was used as molecular probe to determine the correlations between dynamic adsorption behavior and structural parameters of the multilevel GO/PEI membrane. PG8 shows higher adsorption capacities and affinity, which is predominantly attributed to the multichannel structure providing a large specific surface for phenol adsorption, enhancing the accessibility of active sites for phenol molecules and the transport of phenol. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the adsorption mechanism of phenol within GO channel is energetically oriented by hydrogen bonds, which is dominated by oxygen-containing groups compared to amino groups. Particularly, the interfaces which facilitate strong π-π interaction and hydrogen bonds maybe the most active regions. Moreover, the as-prepared PG8 membrane showed outstanding performance for other contaminants such as methyl orange and Cr(VI). It is anticipated that this study will have implications for design of GO-related environmental materials with enhanced efficiency.

Although supported Rh nanoparticles (NPs) are one of the best catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanol, they still suffer from poor selectivity problems. In this study, we promoted the selectivity of Rh NPs with CoOx through an in situ transformation of the bimetallic RhCo NPs on SiO2. Among the obtained Rh–CoOx/SiO2 catalysts, the one with a Co/Rh molar ratio of 1/3 exhibited the highest phenol conversion (i.e., 98.1%) and the highest selectivity to cyclohexanol (i.e., 99.4%). Our study showed that CoOx promoters modified the electronic states of Rh and created new active sites at their interface, which are beneficial to the activation of phenol and the desorption of cyclohexanol. Excessive coverage of Rh by CoOx, however, would cause deactivation due to the less exposure of the Rh–CoOx interface.

The component analysis and structure characterization of complex mixtures of biomass conversion remain a challenging work. Hence, developing effective and easy to use techniques is necessary. Diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) is a non-selective and non-invasive method capable of achieving pseudo-separation and structure assignments of individual compounds from biomass mixtures by providing diffusion coefficients ( D ) of the components. However, the conventional 1 H DOSY NMR is limited by crowded resonances when analyzing complex mixtures containing similar chemical structure resulting in similar coefficient. Herein we describe the application of an advanced diffusion NMR method, Pure Shift Yielded by CHirp Excitation DOSY (PSYCHE-iDOSY), which can record high-resolution signal diffusion spectra efficiently separating compounds in model and genuine mixture samples from cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Complicated sets of isomers ( d -glucose/ d -fructose/ d -mannose and 1,2-/1,5-pentadiol), homologous compounds (ethylene glycol and 1,2-propylene glycol), model compounds of lignin, and a genuine reaction system (furfuryl alcohol hydrogenolysis with ring opening) were successfully separated in the diffusion dimension. The results show that the ultrahigh-resolution DOSY technique is capable of detecting and pseudo-separating the mixture components of C 5 /C 6 sugar conversion products and its derivative hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis from lignocellulose biomass.

In this work, a ratiometric fluorescence sensor along with a portable coffee ring visualized detection method for bisphenol A (BPA) was developed based on carbon dots. The probe was formed by the coordination polymerization of Eu3+ and 5′-adenosine monophosphate on the surface of carbon dots containing a large number of hydroxyl and carbonyl groups. The results showed that the fluorescence intensity ratio and the concentration of BPA had a good linear relationship in a wide range of 0.1–100 μM with a detection limit of 20 nM (S/N = 3). The recoveries of the added standard BPA in water samples ranged from 91.80 to 102.7% with relative standard deviation values no more than 1.84% (n = 3). In addition, the changes of the fluorescence color of the CDs@Eu–AMP suspension with different BPA concentrations can be easily visualized under a UV lamp by the naked eye, which highlights the great potential of the coffee ring detection method for the fast and convenient monitoring of BPA in real water samples.

In this paper, a type of heterojunction photocatalyst S-Tyr-NDI-Tyr/TiO 2 was prepared by self-assembly of tyrosine-substituted naphthamide (NDA) and bonding with titanium dioxide. The self-assembly process and driving force of monomer M-Tyr-NDI-Tyr were simulated by theoretical calculation. Taking atenolol as the target pollutant, the photocatalytic performance of the heterojunction photocatalyst under visible light was studied, and the degradation products were analyzed by mass spectrometry. The environmental toxicity of photocatalytic process was evaluated by luminescent bacteria. The principle of high photocatalytic activity of S-Tyr-NDI-Tyr/TiO 2 heterojunction photocatalyst was proposed by analyzing the fluorescence spectrum, photocurrent density and resistance, electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum, free radical capture experiment and energy band position of S-Tyr-NDI-Tyr/TiO 2 heterojunction photocatalyst. In addition, the photocatalytic degradation of different pollutants by S-Tyr-NDI-Tyr/TiO 2 heterojunction photocatalyst was also studied. This work will provide a useful example for the further development of new and efficient organic supramolecular/inorganic semiconductor composite photocatalysts.

Two new hydrophilic-hydrophobic and acid-base balanced liquid chromatographic stationary phases were obtained by using two long-chain monomers including undecylenic acid (UA) and oleic acid (OA) combined with short-chain 4-vinyl pyridine (Py) in-situ polymerized on silica microspheres surfaces, respectively. These two stationary phases can be used for reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) modes. Hydrophilic, hydrophobic, acidic and basic analytes can be separated on two new stationary phases in RPLC or HILIC mode. Compared with commercial hydrophobic C18 columns and other HILIC columns, two new stationary phases have excellent selectivity and separation performance in the separation of 9 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 10 aromatic acids, 10 anilines and 5 oxazolidinones, respectively. This novel polymer-functionalized silica design strategy has opened up new ideas for the future of mixed-mode stationary phases with multiple functions and specificity.
