In this work, we choose NiO as an example of battery-type materials. We reveal that the electrochemical destabilization of NiO is attributed to the particle merging caused by electrochemical Ostwald ripening. Based on this understanding, we construct a particulate NiO-composed 2D structure coated by a thin carbon layer. Due to the prevention of particle merging by carbon coating and the increase of electrical and ionic conductivities by oxygen vacancies, this structure presents high electrochemical performance and an ultra-long cycling life. This carbon-coated 2D structure of NiO has a high specific capacity of 437.8 C g −1 at low current density and presents excellent high-rate performance (capacity retention of 66% at high current density). It exhibits ultra-high electrochemical stability (capacity retention of 93.5% after an ultra-long cycling of 100,000 cycles). This work demonstrates the success of carbon modification strategy for NiO, also may provide a significant outlet for transforming low-performance battery-type materials into high-performance materials.

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have attracted great interest as a new green alternative to ionic liquids. In order to investigate the potential of using DESs to replace traditional organic solvents in carbon capture processes, it is necessary to understand in detail the physicochemical and thermodynamic properties of DESs before and after CO 2 absorption. In this paper, choline chloride was used as the hydrogen bond acceptor and ethanolamine as the hydrogen bond donor to prepare the original DES. Afterward, 5 % mass fraction of morpholine/sarcosine is then added to make two kinds of ternary secondary amine functionalized DESs. Six quaternary DESs were finally prepared by mixing 20 % solvent (water/glycerol/ethylene glycol) with the ternary DESs. Subsequently, the physicochemical properties of DESs, such as melting point, density, viscosity and surface tension, were experimentally determined over the temperature range of 303.15–353.15 K. The properties of ternary and quaternary DESs before and after CO 2 absorption were especially predicted and analyzed using different models. It was found that the Vogel-Fulcher-Tamman model was more suitable for forecasting viscosity, and the Pelofsky equation was better for prediction of the relationship between surface tension and viscosity. Based on the experimental data and the solvent critical values predicted by the state equation, the thermodynamic properties of ternary and quaternary DESs before and after CO 2 absorption, such as molar volume, isobaric expansion coefficient, lattice energy, activation energy, viscous flow entropy and enthalpy, were derived and analyzed.

The use of renewable electricity to drive the electrocatalytic coupling of CO with nitrogen-containing organics offers a promising strategy for producing high-value chemicals. In this work, we conduct a systematic investigation of the coordination effect between iodide and copper oxide to generate Cu δ+ active sites. These Cu δ+ sites enable the electrosynthesis of dimethylacetamide from CO and dimethylamine. Through precise regulation of the electrode surface microenvironment, a dimethylacetamide Faradaic efficiency of 45.6% is achieved at a partial current density of 182.4 mA·cm -2 , with a production rate of 435.9 mmol·g cat. −1 ·h -1 and selectivity approaching 70%. Mechanistic studies reveal that specific adsorption of I - forms an iodide-enriched Cu 0 /Cu + interface that synergistically promotes dimethylacetamide formation by enhancing adsorption of ketene intermediates (*CCO) and facilitating C–N bonds formation. This anion-coordination interfacial engineering strategy demonstrates broad applicability for synthesizing various acetamide derivatives from CO 2 /CO and amine, providing a foundational framework for electrocatalytic C-N coupling in acetamide synthesis.

The development of high-performance UV-LED excited photoinitiators (PIs) is one of the current research hot spots in the field of photopolymerization. Thioxanthone (TX) derivatives have good UV-visible absorption ability under UV excitation. In this article, four novel thioxanthone derivatives were designed and synthesized as one-component polymerizable photoinitiators, and their structures were confirmed by FT-IR and 1H NMR. Their photophysical/photochemical, kinetic and migration stability were investigated experimentally by UV-vis spectrophotometer and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The photolysis and photoinitiation mechanisms of four initiators were elucidated. Comparison of the results for the TX system showed that these TX derivatives are highly efficient one-component polymerizable PIs with high migration stability, which has the potential to be used in UV curing systems, especially for food packaging and biomedical applications.

The ureido moiety stands as one of the most regarded scaffolds in medicinal and organic synthesis. In this study, we endeavored to synthesize a product containing tertiary amine moieties through the nucleophilic substitution reaction of the 2-chloroethyl urea derivative with a secondary amine, utilizing either inorganic bases, such as K2CO3 or organic bases like triethylamine as acid-binding agents in diverse reaction media. Unfortunately, the reaction failed to yield the desired nucleophilic substitution product in high yield, attributed to the reactivity of the 2-chloroethyl urea derivative. The structures of potential impurities were elucidated based on comprehensive spectroscopic data, including 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS, HMBC, and HSQC.

Purpose Budesonide (Bud) is a nonhalogenated glucocorticoid with high anti-inflammatory potency and low systemic side effects. However, the poor water solubility of Bud affects its dissolution and release behavior, thus influencing its anti-inflammatory effect. This study was aimed at synthesizing and evaluating novel conjugates of Bud, hoping to increase the anti-inflammatory activity of Bud by improving its water solubility.Materials and methods Seven novel Bud conjugates (3a–3g) were designed and synthesized in this study. Besides, the equilibrium solubility, cell viability, in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity, and the hydrolysis behavior of the conjugates in different pH solutions, rat and human plasma, and rat lung homogenate were studied in detail.Results As compared to Bud, the equilibrium solubility of 3a, 3c, and 3e was significantly increased; 3a, 3b, and 3c significantly inhibited the interleukin-6 production in lipopolysaccharide-induced A549 cells; 3a and 3e could significantly decrease the xylene-induced ear edema; and 3a and 3c were gradually and slowly hydrolyzed into Bud in the alveolar fluid and lung homogenate and broken down quickly in plasma.Conclusion The amino acid ester compounds budesonide-21-glycine ester (3a) and budesonide-21-alanine ester (3c) were selected as potential conjugates of Bud. This study would provide a theoretical and an experimental basis for the in vivo process of glucocorticoids and the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
