Several photosensitizers have recently been proposed as novel approaches against β-lactamase-producing drug-resistant bacteria. However, these reported photosensitizers are rarely used for accurate recognition of drug-resistant bacteria. To tackle this challenge, the structurally modified photosensitizer CySG-2 based on a lipophilic cationic heptamethine indocyanine near-infrared (NIR) dye (IR-780) and an important synthesis intermediate of cephalosporin antibiotic (GCLE) not only achieved the accurate recognition of TEM-1 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) successfully but also achieved antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in animal models infected by drug-resistant bacteria. Accurate enzyme recognition and efficient photodynamic therapy capabilities allow CySG-2 to achieve one stone with two birds. In addition, CySG-2 could also promote the eradication of internalized MRSA by facilitating the autophagy process, which is synergistic with its capacity of inducing reactive oxygen species generation under NIR laser irradiation for aPDT. Collectively, it is an effective multifunctional photosensitizer with the potential ability to guide the optimal use of different antibiotics and apply them in clinical treatment.

13-Ni/ZrO2, 13-Ni3P/ZrO2, 13-Ni/SiO2, and 13-Ni3P/SiO2 catalysts were used in the hydrogenation of diethyl oxalate (DEO) to ethyl glycolate (Egly) to investigate the modulating effect of phosphorus. XRD, TEM and FT-IR results show that phosphorus act as a divider of Ni metallic particle and shows a segregation effect. The presence of P transformed the linkage of surface metals from the original -Ni-Ni-Ni-Ni- to the P-Ni-P-Ni-P state, and FT-IR shows that the former adsorbed CO in a combination of linear and bridging adsorption mode, whereas the latter predominantly in CO linear adsorption. Bridging adsorption is via dual sites and makes the preliminary hydrogenation products less likely to detach from the catalyst surface thus facilitating deep hydrogenation, while linear adsorption facilitates partial hydrogenation by a rapid detachment of intermediate product like Egly. The various loading Ni3P/SiO2 catalysts show incomplete phosphorylation with increasing nickel loading, giving rise to a state of coexistence of Ni and Ni3P crystalline phases. This may lead to a coexistence of surface -Ni-Ni-Ni-Ni- and P-Ni-P-Ni-P and the corresponding assort of adsorption, e.g. bridging/linear ones, making deep hydrogenation occur partially besides stepwise hydrogenation.

Metal-zeolites catalysts are of great importance in selective organic conversions. Zeolites possess features of highly-ordered porous network, adjustable acidic properties (Brønsted/Lewis), spatial nanoconfinement effects, unique shape selectivity and the strong (hydrothermal-) stability. The role of zeolite hydroxyl (z-OH) groups, such as bridging ones in Si-O(H)-Al (B acids) and terminal ones in Al-OH and Si-OH (silanols), in catalysis is an interesting topic, particularly when they are not catalytic active sites, while they affect the catalytic performances. This study comprehensively investigated series of Au/USY catalysts in the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde and clarified the dominating contributions of Al-associated z-OH groups to affecting catalytic conversions and selectivity via altering the Si/Al ratio and reducing z-OH groups by amorphous silica species derived from diethoxydimethylsilane under high-temperature calcination. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, TEM, XPS, UV/Vis, FT-IR and in-situ DRIFT to investigate crystal structures, textural properties, morphologies, size distribution, chemical state of gold, acidity, and adsorptive properties. The experimental results proved that zeolites with a higher amount of z-OH groups tuned by Si/Al ratios or by diethoxydimethylsilane silylation exhibited higher catalytic activity because of the adsorption effect. Finally, a possible mechanism was discussed based on the experimental results and literature.

Herein, the SiC ceramic aerogels with in-situ growth of SiC nanowires (SiC w /SiC CAs) have been synthesized by polymer‐derived ceramics (PDCs) method. The morphology, microstructure, and phase composition of the as-prepared samples were systematically investigated through SEM, XRD , TEM , Raman spectrum, FT-IR spectrum, and XPS spectrum techniques. The results showed that the as-obtained SiC w has a diameter of about 80 nm and a length of 1–3.5 μm. In addition, the formation mechanism and evolution process of growth SiC w were systematically studied using a VLS growth mechanisms. The way in this work could be expanded to synthesize other Si-based porous ceramic aerogel nanostructed with nanowires.

CH 4 CO 2 reforming to syngas was investigated over three different activated carbon catalysts. To better understand the influence of the supports on the catalytic properties , catalysts were analyzed by some characterization methods, such as nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, XRD , H 2 -TPR, NH 3 -TPD, CO 2 -TPD, FTIR, TEM and EDX . The results showed that the catalyst with AC 2 as the support provided the best catalytic activity . The CH 4 conversion and CO 2 conversion were 92% and 98% at 900 °C, respectively; best selectivity with the H 2 /CO ratio was close to 1 among the three supports used. It also showed a better stability at 900 °C. H 2 -TPR analysis showed that Co species in Co/AC 2 catalyst were strong interaction with the support. It was observed that active metals were well dispersed on the AC 2 support by the TEM. In addition, the ratio of CH 4 /CO 2 also had great influence on the CH 4 and CO 2 conversion.

Semiconductor catalyst with high photocatalytic activity can be exploited via heterojunction. In this study, a new S-scheme SrTiO 3 /porous ZnO composite was rationally devised, successfully prepared by utilizing a two-step pyrolysis of SrTiO 3 /ZIF-8, and analyzed by various characterization technologies including XRD, SEM, TEM, BET, XPS, PL, UV–vis DRS, and photoelectrochemical and DFT theoretical calculations. A porous structure, tight contact, and a heterojunction formed between SrTiO 3 and porous ZnO (ZnOT) can be observed by SEM and TEM images. BET testing indicates that the SrTiO 3 /porous ZnO composite (S3ZT) shows the highest specific surface area (30.37 m 2 /g). The band gap values (E g ) of SrTiO 3 and ZnOT are around 3.17 and 2.95 eV, which agree with those obtained from DFT calculations. Compared to other samples, the SrTiO 3 /porous ZnO composite (S3ZT) shows higher light absorption and lower transfer resistance as demonstrated by UV–vis DRS and EIS results. S3ZT presents a superior photocatalytic efficiency of 48.8% in degrading 5 mg/L methyl orange (MO) irradiated by 1 h UV–vis light, which are 7- and 1.5-fold higher than pristine SrTiO 3 and ZnOT, respectively. Moreover, based on Mott-Schottky theory, active species trapping experiments, XPS determination, and DFT calculations (energy band gap and work function), it was shown to be reasonable to utilize the S-scheme charge migration process for an explanation regarding the better photocatalytic activity of SrTiO 3 /porous ZnO composite. Overall, this work will provide an effective protocol for devising and preparing semiconductor photocatalysts with S-scheme heterojunction by utilizing the superior characteristics of MOFs.

Cellulose hydrolysis and further conversion to diketones and alcohols was performed with graphene layer encapsulated cobalt catalysts (Co@C) in phosphoric acid aqueous solution. A total of 60.5% yield of the products mainly including ethanol, 2,5-hexanedione (2,5-HD) and diols could be achieved in 0.06 M H3PO4 solution. A series of characterization methods such as XRD, XPS, TEM, TG-MS, BET, ICP, H2-TPD, NH3-TPD, and Raman were carried out to explore the catalyst formation mechanism and reaction activity. The results of the analysis indicated that the calcination temperature had a deep influence on the structure formation of the Co@C catalysts, thus leading to differences in the reaction activity. While the calcination temperature was determined at 700 °C, the Co@C catalyst meets with the requirements of optimal reaction activity, appropriate particle size, suitable surface area, and pore size. Besides, it was found that H3PO4 is not only favorable in cellulose hydrolysis but also cooperates with the Co@C catalyst in the hydrogenolysis of C–O bond and C–C bonds for the formation of products. This work provides a possible way for renewable cellulose conversion to diketone and alcohols over encapsulated non-noble metal catalyst combined with phosphoric acid aqueous solution.

Focused on energy and environment issues, in present investigation, an economical and eco-friendly photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution in water splitting reaction has been designed and fabricated. The characteristics by XRD, TEM, XPS and AFM confirmed that an octahedral H 2 Ta 2 O 6 is uniformly capsuled by ZnIn 2 S 4 thin clothes to form a package ZnIn 2 S 4 /H 2 Ta 2 O 6 heterojunction . The assembled ZnIn 2 S 4 /H 2 Ta 2 O 6 exhibits superior hydrogen generated performance with a value of 3217.31 μmol g −1 •h −1 under simulated sunlight irradiation, without obvious deactivation in five consecutive cycles. The enhanced activity and reusability are mainly attributed to ultrathin clothe-like shell, the well-matched band structure and a large tight contact interface in the package type construction, which can promote redox ability, extend light harvesting range and boost charge separation efficiency. The present study proposes a new design idea to assemble a highly efficient and durable photocatalyst for solar hydrogen generation by splitting water.

We report on catalytic fast pyrolysis microalgae under ammonia atmosphere into acetonitrile over Ga/HZSM-5, which provides a long-term sustainable option for acetonitrile production and microalgae valorization. The effect of various catalysts, reaction conditions and species of microalgae on acetonitrile production was explored systematically. Under the optimized conditions, the maximum carbon yield of acetonitrile from Chlorella vulgaris was 23.4%, and the selectivity of acetonitrile in bio-oil was up to 77.2%. The possible reaction pathways were proposed according to the comprehensive experimental investigation on the conversion of model compounds and intermediates (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, carboxylic acids, furans, and amines). High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis showed that Ga was present mainly at the outer surface of zeolite crystals, and a small amount of Ga was doped into the zeolite crystals.

Recently, a Ti-containing hollownest-structured zeolite (Ti-HSZ) material with the shell constructed by randomly intergrown MWW (framework type code) flaky crystals has been synthesized through one-step rotating hydrothermal method within 3.5 days, which shows predominant catalytic property for the epoxidation of alkenes . Herein, it is firstly reported that the crystallization efficiency of Ti-HSZ material can be notably increased by applying seeds-assisted synthesis method. Thus-crystallized materials have been characterized by XRD , UV–vis, XPS , SEM , TEM, FT-IR, and N 2 adsorption-desorption. Moreover, the key controlling factors are revealed to include the addition percentage of seed crystals, rotating rate and filling degree of autoclave. When 2 wt% or 3 wt% seed crystals are added into the reaction gel, the crystallization time of Ti-HSZ can be sharply reduced to 2.5 days or even 2.0 days, respectively. Particularly, thus-synthesized Ti-HSZ-SM material still maintains hollownest morphology characteristic and excellent catalytic activity and catalytic stability. About 95% allyl chloride can be converted into corresponding epoxide when using H 2 O 2 as oxidant, and about 85% cyclopentene and 87% cyclooctene can be converted into corresponding epoxides when using TBHP as oxidant, with the selectivity for epoxides of nearly 100%.

In this study, two different polymers have been synthesized and introduced as adsorbents to study their performances in the removal of Fe(III) ions and phenol from wastewater. The polymers have been synthesized by mixing acrylic acid, acryl amide, and N , N -dimethylacrylamide. This is both used as a primary polymer and grafted with graphene oxide as modified polymer to compare their performances in Fe(III) ions and phenol removal. The structure and morphology of the polymer and the grafting polymer with GO were characterized by FT-IR, SEM, and TEM. The effects of pH, time, contact temperature, and dosage of adsorbent were evaluated. From the obtained results, the optimum condition of the adsorption process was concluded to be a concentration of graphene oxide/polymer (1 g L −1 ) and polymer (3 g L −1 ) at an ion concentration of 75 ppm, pH 8 for 2 h. The highest removal rates for Fe 3+ and phenol were 92–98% and 86–89%, respectively. The Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherm model was studied. The removal of Fe 3+ and phenol is consistent with a pseudo-second-order model, meaning physical adsorption occurs on the surface of both polymers. Other isotherm models, like Temkin and intra-particle, were used; the error function was calculated to test the fitness of all the models’ results. Adsorption was not consistent with the last two models and the result from the error function proved that the pseudo-second-order model is favorable for the removal of Fe(III) and phenol.

There are many methods for synthesizing magnetite nanoparticles. Most methods take a long time, and the result is undesirable. In this paper a green method was used to synthesize nanoparticles because it takes a short time and is both straightforward and eco-friendly. It is done by adding : =1:2 molar ratio solution with different amounts of extract and different amounts of NaOH solution for 20 min at different temperatures, in hotplate stirrers, to control their relative size. UV-Vis spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer technique (VSM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the magnetite nanoparticles. The result confirms that the changes in amounts of NaOH and extract led to a change in the pH of a solution and that the increase in amounts of the extract caused the low addition of NaOH. These changes influenced the process of synthesis and characterization. The Uv-vis analysis confirms that the surface plasmon resonance had a highly visible brad peak in the 290–460 nm range, as well as a peak shift to shorter wavelengths (blue shift) with a pH change and a peak shift to longer wavelengths (red shift) with a temperature change. TEM imaging confirms that all the synthesized had a spherical shape with size changed according to a parameter change of within 40–9 nm. Magnetic analysis showed the magnetite nanoparticles synthesized have smaller sizes and are superparamagnetic with the influence of particle size on the magnetic properties, including Hc, Ms, and Mr.
