To meet the criteria of high specific power thermal battery development, all-lithium molten salt electrolytes (LiF–LiCl–LiBr) are often employed in thermal batteries. In this work, a hexagonal boron nitride binding molten salt electrolyte (h-BN-E) was synthesized using a straightforward liquid nitrogen mixing process and high temperature calcination , which using h-BN as a binder in electrolyte. The h-BN-E has a low internal resistance (0.21 Ω) and a high discharge voltage (2.5 V), which is close to the theoretical discharge voltage (2.64 V). The h-BN-E with high specific capacity (329 mAhg −1 ) and specific energy (700 W h kg −1 ) at the same time. It can be demonstrated that h-BN has the capacity to more effectively immobilize the electrolytes at high temperature discharge when combined with the discharge overflow diagram. The investigation of h-BN as a binder for thermal batteries with low internal resistance can be started with the help of this work.

Titanium alloys are widely used in lightweight mechanical components, but their limited mechanical and tribological properties often lead to failure under service conditions. In this study, a titanium-based micro-arc oxidation (Ti-MAO) composite coating was developed by incorporating hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) while optimizing electrolyte composition and process parameters. Proper control of h-BN content effectively improved the high-temperature oxidation resistance and tribological properties of the Ti-MAO coating. The research results showed that h-BN could regulate the energy distribution during MAO discharge, promote coating densification, and reduce structural defects. At a concentration of 4 g/L, h-BN maintained good dispersibility. Compared with an additive-free Ti-MAO coating, the h-BN/Ti-MAO composite coating showed an 86% reduction in the oxidation rate constant at 600 °C. Due to the stable layered structure of h-BN over a wide temperature range, the composite coating maintained a friction coefficient (COF) below 0.31 from room temperature (RT) to 500 °C, reduced to below 0.21 within 300 °C. However, excessive h-BN led to particle aggregation and a decline in overall coating performance. In summary, this approach enhances the durability of titanium alloy components through improved oxidation resistance and tribological properties.

A triple-amplified and ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor for CA125 was designed based on hemin–graphene/SH-β-cyclodextrin@PdPt nanoflower (H-Gr/SH-β-CD@PdPtNF) composites and an exonuclease I (Exo I)-assisted strategy. In the nanocomposite, hemin acts as an internal reference signal owing to the reversible heminox/heminred pair. PdPtNFs can significantly improve the electron transfer rate. SH-β-CD can efficiently enrich quercetin probes through host–guest recognition and increase the second indicator signal. In the presence of CA125, due to the specific binding between the aptamer and CA125, the conformational change of dsDNA (designed by the CA125 aptamer and its complementary DNA) results in the release of quercetin embedded in dsDNA. Subsequently, the free quercetin and DNA fragments are enriched on the H-Gr/SH-β-CD@PdPtNF-modified electrode. Thus, an enhanced oxidation peak from quercetin (IQ) and a reduced peak from hemin (Ihemin) can indicate the same biological identification event. In addition, the recycling amplification of CA125 by Exo I can effectively assist the increase of the quercetin signal. The value of IQ/Ihemin is linear with the concentration of CA125 in the range from 6.0 × 10–4 to 1.0 × 103 ng/mL, and the limit of detection is 1.4 × 10–4 ng/mL. The recovery of CA125 in human blood serum samples was from 99.2 to 104.4%. The proposed sensor is sensitive and reliable, which provides an avenue for the development of triple amplification and ratiometric signal strategies for detecting tumor markers in clinical diagnostics.

Given their substantial neutron capture cross-section, extreme hardness, and high chemical and thermal stability, boron-based materials are widely used as building blocks to protect against highly ionizing radiations such as gamma rays and neutrons. Indeed, uncontrolled nuclear radiation exposure can be highly hazardous to radiation workers and the public. In this sense, this work presents an extensive study and experimental evaluation of the nuclear shielding features of hexagonal-boron nitride (h-BN) based nanocomposite, where bisphenol-A based polybenzoxazine (BA-PBz) was used as matrix. The neutron shielding studies were carried out at the nuclear research reactor of Algeria NUR. The surface treatment of h-BN nanoparticles was confirmed by FTIR and XPS techniques. The curing behavior and the degradation phenomena of the nanocomposites were evaluated by DSC-TGA analyses. The distribution of h-BN nanoparticles within the polymer matrix was assessed by TEM and SEM. The results showed that the developed boron nitride-based nanocomposite exhibits intriguing shielding performances and good thermal stability. The DSC-TGA tests exhibit high degradation temperature that reach 279°C. The highest performances were obtained at an h-BN concentration of 7 wt%, where the macroscopic cross was found to be (Σ = 3.844 cm –1 ) with a screening ratio of (S = 96.12%), equivalent to a mean free path (λ) of 0.138 cm.

In this study, cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) were directly prepared after autohydrolysis of eucalyptus raw materials. The effect of different autohydrolysis times on the hydrogen bond structure, micro-structure and properties of CNFs were analyzed by FTIR peak fitting, two-dimensional infrared, TGA, TEM and X-ray diffractometer. The results showed that the autohydrolysis treatments could obviously lead to the sequence of hydrogen bond changes in CNFs as follows: v (weak hydrogen bond) > v (free hydroxyl) > v (O(3)H.O(5)) > v (O(2)H.O(6)) > v (O(6)H.O(3′)), and further impact in crystallite size of CNFs. With the increase of the autohydrolysis strength, the crystallite size of CNFs on the 1 1 ¯ 0 crystal plane could be reduced by up to 26%, but the crystallite size on the 110 crystal plane and the 200 crystal plane increased by 24.5% and 22.6%, respectively. These microstructure changes finally increased the crystallinity index of CNFs, and then resulted in their high thermal stability.

Chiral amino acids are extensively applied in the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, and agricultural industries. As a representative example, l -phosphinothricin ( l -PPT, a chiral non-natural amino acid) is a broad-spectrum herbicide. An NAD(H)-driven biocatalytic system for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral amino acids (focused on l -PPT) with high efficiency and low cost is highly desired. The key for the development of such biocatalytic system is to obtain an NADH-dependent biocatalyst with high catalytic performance toward l -PPT pro-ketone PPO. Herein, an engineered glutamate dehydrogenase from Lysinibacillus composti ( Lc GluDH) with desired activity was obtained by gene mining and protein engineering. In silico analyses suggested that the volume of substrate-binding pocket was substantially enlarged from 330.5 Å 3 to 409.6 Å 3 . The stability of Lc GluDH was increased ( T m value increased from 47.3 °C to 65.3 °C) by introducing positively charged amino acids or aromatic amino acids at position 375. The desired biocatalytic system was constructed by coupling the engineered Lc GluDH and an NAD + -dependent FDH. Through this biocatalytic system, the batch production of l -PPT exhibited high space-time yield (207.3 g ⋅ L −1 ⋅ day −1 ) with strict stereoselectivity ( ee of l -PPT>99%). Furthermore, eight other chiral amino acids were synthesised by the developed NAD(H)-driven biocatalytic system with high ee values.

Selective oxidation of C–H bonds under mild conditions is one of the most important and challenging issues in utilization of energy-related molecules. Molybdenum oxide nanostructures containing Mo5+ species are effective for these reactions, but the accurate identification of the structure of active Mo5+ species and the catalytic mechanism remain unclear. Herein, unsaturated penta-coordinated Mo5c5+ with a high fraction in MoOx fabricated by the hydrothermal method were identified as the active sites for low-temperature oxidation of dimethyl ether (DME) by the deep correlation of characterizations, density functional theory calculations, and activity results, giving a methyl formate selectivity of 96.3% and DME conversion of 12.5% at unreported 110 °C. Low-temperature electron spin resonance (ESR) and quasi in situ X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) with the designed experiments confirm that the Mo5c5+ species can be formed in situ. Molybdenum located at the pentachronic site is preferable to significantly promote the oxidation of the C–H bond in CH3O* at lower temperatures.

Transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) was an effective way to realize controlled drug delivery. However, realizing zero-order controlled drug skin delivery was still challenging in the drug-in-adhesive patch. This study provided a strategy to accomplish this delivery form by stabilizing the drug concentration in adhesive through concentration-dependent competitive interaction. Clonidine (CLO) and Granisetron (GRA) were chosen as the model drugs which were of high skin permeability, and polydimethylaminoethyl acrylate (EA) as an excipient to interact with hydroxyphenyl adhesive (HP). Drug release, permeation and pharmacokinetic study were conducted to evaluate the controlled effect of HP-EA. The molecular interaction was characterized by FT-IR, 1 H NMR and XPS. Dynamic simulation and molecular docking further clarified the competitive interaction involved in the release process. Both the drug skin permeation study of CLO and GRA patch based on the HP-EA adhesive showed good zero-order fitting with r of 0.994 and 0.998, compared with non-functional adhesive (0-PSA). Furthermore, the pharmacokinetic study of the CLO patch showed a plateau phase for around 52 h without influencing the area under concentration–time curve ( AUC ), indicating that the HP-EA could realize zero-order drug skin delivery. The mechanism study revealed that EA serving as a ‘buffer component’ promoted the conversion of the ionic CLO to the neutrals the as the neutrals released, which stabilized ‘1% neutrals CLO concentration’. In conclusion, the drug delivery system based on the concentration-dependent competitive interaction broadened our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in zero-order controlled release in transdermal patches which would promote the development of zero-order drug delivery in TDDS.

Helicoverpa armigera and H. assulta are two of the few insects that can feed on hot pepper fruits. Capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin ( i.e. , capsaicinoids) are the principal pungent compounds in hot peppers. To explore possible molecular mechanisms of adaptation that allow these two species to consume capsaicinoids, the capacity of the three detoxification tissues (fat body, midgut, and Malpighian tubule) of the two pests, to metabolically degrade capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin, was compared. The results showed that capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin were metabolized by crude enzyme preparations from all three tissues of the two pests. Five metabolites of capsaicin, and five metabolites of dihydrocapsaicin were identified. Tissue and species differences in the degree of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin metabolism were observed. The specialist H. assulta had an overall greater capacity to degrade the capsaicinoids compared to the generalist H. armigera. Further, the midgut was the most significant contributor to capsaicinoid metabolism. The notably high specific activity in Malpighian tubules of H. armigera also further highlights the significance of this organ in xenobiotic detoxification. Alkyl hydroxylation and dehydrogenation were the main pathways for the oxidative biotransformation of both capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin by cytochrome P450s. This study provides evidence that enhanced metabolic decomposition of capsaicinoids may be an adaptation explaining dietary preferences for Capsicum fruits by these two pests.

In this study, NaClO2was selected as a denitration oxidant. In order to clarify the mechanism of NaClO2as an oxidation agent for NO removal efficiency, the effects of H+and other factors (NaClO2concentration, temperature, and the other gas) on the NO removal efficiency were investigated. NaClO2showed a promotional ability on NO removal, whose efficiency increased with the increase of NaClO2concentration. One hundred percent removal efficiency of NO could be achieved when the NaClO2concentration was 0.014 mol/L. Furthermore, raising the reaction temperature benefited the removal of NO. The lower the pH, the better the NO removal efficiency. The promoting effect of H+on the NO removal was studied by the Nernst equation, ionic polarization, and the generation of ClO2. Under the optimal conditions, the best removal efficiency of NO was 100%. Based on the experimental results, the reaction mechanism was finally speculated.Keywords:sodium chlorite (NaClO2);wet scrubbing;removal efficiency;NO reaction mechanism

Although noble metal electrocatalysts are highly efficient in the dehalogenation of halogenated antibiotics, the prohibitive cost hinders their practical applications. In this study, a cobalt-phosphorous/oxide (Co P/O) composite prepared via a one-step electrodeposition was for the first time applied in electroreductive dechlorination of halogenated antibiotics (HA), including chloramphenicol (CAP), florfenicol (FLO) and thiamphenicol (TAP). Co P/O had a higher FLO dechlorination efficiency (91%) than Pd/C (69.3%) (t = 60 min, C 0 = 20 mg L −1 , applied voltage of −1.2 V vs. saturated calomel electrode (SCE)). Furthermore, the dechlorination efficiencies of Co P/O for CAP and TAP reached to 98.7 and 74.2%, respectively. The electron spin resonance and in situ Raman characterizations confirmed that atomic H* was produced via the Co P and the formation of Co Cl bonds occurred on the Co O in Co P/O. The Co Cl bond formation could trap HA molecules onto Co P/O and weaken the C Cl bond strength. The synergistic effect of H* attack and Co Cl bond was responsible for the high dechlorination efficiency. This study offers new insights into the interface mechanism of electroreductive dehalogenation process, and shows a great potential for the remediation of halogenated antibiotics contaminated wastewater.

Liquid chromatographic separation of mirabegron enantiomers on Chiralpak AY-H, a column coated with amylose tris-(5-chloro-2-methylphenylcarbamate) as a chiral stationary phase, was studied under normal phase conditions. The influence of ethanol content (30–45%) and column temperature (20–40°C) on retention, resolution and separation were evaluated. Apparent thermodynamic parameters deduced from Van't Hoff plots were used to understand chiral separation mechanisms, and the chiral separation was enthalpy driven. The optimized chromatographic conditions were using a mixture solution of n-hexane, ethanol and diethyl amine (55 : 45 : 0.1, v/v/v) as a mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The column temperature and UV detector were set at 35°C and 254 nm, respectively. The method was validated to be simple, accuracy, sensitive and robust according to the ICH guidelines, and it was suitable for the routine quality control of mirabegron enantiomers for pharmaceutical industries.
