The application of Li metal anode in high energy density batteries is hindered by uncontrolled dendrites growth and rapid capacity decline. In this study, 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-ABA) is used as a multifunctional electrolyte additive to effectively stabilise Li anode and extend the cycling life of LiNi 0.8 Co 0.15 Al 0.05 O 2 (NCA) cathode in carbonate electrolyte. It is found that 4-ABA facilitates the desolvation of Li + and increases the Li + transference number, leading to an increase in Li + flux on the surface of the Li anode, and finally the growth of Li dendrites is inhibited. The cycling performance of Li||Li symmetric cell is extended from < 400 h to more than 600 h at 1 mA cm −2 with a capacity of 1 mAh cm −2 . For the NCA cathode, 4-ABA is involved in the formation of a thin and uniform cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer, which is conducive to inhibiting the corrosion of electrolyte on NCA cathode and reducing the dissolution of the transition metals Ni and Co. Thus, the electrochemical performances of the Li||NCA cell with the electrolyte containing 0.5% 4-ABA are significantly improved. In particular, the discharge capacity of the cells with the electrolyte containing 0.5% 4-ABA are still 164.9 and 150.7 mAh g −1 compared to only 126.3 and 116.0 mAh/g for the cells with the baseline electrolyte after 200 cycles at 1C and 5C. This study provides a simple and effective strategy for improving the electrochemical performances of Li anodes and NCA cathodes by optimising the electrolyte.

A simple and sensitive method was proposed for the simultaneous detection of paracetamol (acetaminophen, PR) and 4-aminophenol (4-AP) based on bis-Schiff bases and their cobalt complexes modified glassy carbon electrode. Bis-Schiff bases, namely 2,6-diaminopyridine-o-carboxyl benzaldehyde (L1), 2,6-diaminopyridine-m-carboxyl benzaldehyde (L2), 2,6-diaminopyridine-p- carboxyl benzaldehyde (L3) and their cobalt complexes (noted as C1, C2 and C3) were synthesized and characterized by MS, IR, UV-Vis, fluorescence spectra and thermogravimetric analysis, which were used for modification of glassy carbon electrode by electrodeposition method. The electrochemical behaviors of PR and 4-AP on the modified electrode were studied by cyclic voltammetry. The results showed C1 modified electrode exhibited excellent electro-catalytic activities, high selectivity and sensitivity towards oxidation of PR and 4-AR than that of bare glassy carbon electrode, C2 and C3 modified electrodes. The corresponding differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) current signals appeared as two well resolved oxidation peaks, with peak potential differences of 0.31 V (PR and 4-AR). For simultaneous detection, linear responses for PR and 4-AR were obtained under optimal conditions in the following concentration ranges: 5 to 30 pmoi∙L -1 , with detection limits of 1.86 and 2.08 μmoi-L’ 1 , respectively. These results demonstrated that C1 modified glassy carbon electrode can be a promising eiectrochemicai sensor for eiectrocataiytic appiications, which was proved to be appiicabie for simuitaneous detection of PR and 4-AR in paracetamoi tabiets.

In the present study, the formation and structure of the inclusion compound of large-ring cyclodextrin and 4-terpineol were obtained through different experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The analysis of FTIR, 1 H-NMR, and thermodynamic results confirmed the formation of clathrates. Analysis of molecular structure (root-mean-square deviation and radius of gyration), solubility, and interaction energy (Coul, H bond) based on MD simulations further clarified the nature of the clathrate and the conformational changes caused by guest molecules as well as inclusion complexes process trends. The inclusion complex reportedly has a new crystal structure with improved thermal stability. Practical Application This is the first work to demonstrate the complex formation between 4-terpineol and large-ring cyclodextrin by molecular dynamics simulation. Molecular dynamics simulation confirmed the formation of inclusion complexes theoretically. Conformational changes of the molecules and the formation of complexes with improved thermal stability were observed. Complexing with large-ring cyclodextrin can be used as an effective means to encapsulate the aroma/flavor compounds.

As a major intermediate metabolite of synthetic pyrethroids , the occurrence of 3-phenoxybenzoic acid hinders the decomposition of the parent pesticide and poses uncertain risks to environmental ecology and living organisms. Strain Aspergillus oryzae M-4 was previously reported to degrade 3-PBA and several substances were identified as downstream transformation products (TPs). But the mechanism underlying the cleavage of ether bond remains largely unclear. Here, we attempted to address such concern through identifying the peripheral TPs and analyzing transcriptomics, coupled with serial batch degradation experiments. Analysis results of chromatographic/mass spectrometry suggested that 3-PBA underwent twice hydroxylation , to yield mono- and dihydroxylated 3-PBA successively. In parallel, a mutual transformation between 3-PBA and 3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol (3-PBOH) also existed. The proposal of peripheral pathway represents an important advance towards fully understanding the whole 3-PBA metabolism in M-4. A specific altered metabolization was found for the first time, that is, resting cells of M-4 skipped the reduction step and initiate hydroxylation directly, by comparison with growing cells. Transcriptome analysis indicated that 3-PBA induced the up-regulation of genes related to energy investment, oxidative stress response, membrane transport and DNA repair. In-depth functional interpretation of differential expression genes suggested that the generation 3-PBOH and hydroxylated 3-PBA may be due to the participation of flavin-dependent monooxygenases (FMOs) and cytochrome P450 (CYP450), respectively. This study provides new insight to reveal the biodegradation mechanism of 3-PBA by A . oryzae M-4.

Luminescent lanthanide cages have many potential applications in guest recognition, sensing, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and bioimaging. However, these polynuclear lanthanide assemblies’ poor stability, dispersity, and luminescence properties have significantly constrained their practical applications. Furthermore, it is still a huge challenge to simultaneously synthesize and design lanthanide organic polyhedra with high stability and quantum yield. Herein, we demonstrate a simple and robust strategy to improve the rigidity, chemical stability, and luminescence of an Eu(III) tetrahedral cage by introducing the conjugated planar auxiliary phen ligand. The self-assembled tetrahedral cage, (Eu4L4)(phen)4 [L = (4,4′,4″-tris(4,4,4-trifluoro-1,3-dioxobutyl)-triphenylamine), phen = 1,10-phenanthroline], exhibited characteristic luminescence of Eu3+ ions with high quantum yield (41%) and long lifetime (131 μs) in toluene (1.0 × 10–6 M). Moreover, the Eu(III) cage was stable in water and even in an aqueous solution with a pH range of 1–14. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and cellular imaging revealed that the Pluronic F127-coated hybrid material, (Eu4L4)(phen)4@F127, exhibited low cytotoxicity, good biocompatibility, and cellular imaging ability, which may inspire more insights into the development of lanthanide organic polyhedra (LOPs) for potential biomedical applications.

The hydrogenation products of aromatic molecules with reducible groups (such as C=C, NO2, C=O, etc.) are relatively critical intermediate compounds in fine chemicals, but how to accurately reduce only specific groups is still challenging. In this work, a bimetallic Pt-Ni/Chitin catalyst was prepared for the first time by using renewable biomass resource chitin as support. As the carrier, the chitin was constructed into porous nanofibrous microspheres through the sol-gel strategy, which was favorable for the adhesion of nano-metals and the exchange of reactive substances due to its large surface area, porous structure, and rich functional groups. Then the Pt-Ni/Chitin catalyst was applied to selective hydrogenation with the model substrate of 4-nitrostyrene. As the highly dispersed Pt-Ni NPs with abundant exposed active sites and the synergistic effect of bimetals, the Pt-Ni/Chitin catalyst could efficiently and selectively hydrogenate only NO2or C=C with yields of ~99% and TOF of 660 h−1, as well as good stability. This utilization of biomass resources to build catalyst materials would be important for the green and sustainable chemistry.Keywords:biomass chitin;Pt-Ni nanoparticles;supported catalyst;hydrogenation

Morphology and geometrical dimensions play crucial roles in the photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance of bismuth vanadate (BiVO 4 ) for water splitting. Decahedral BiVO 4 was synthesized through a facile hydrothermal process, which exhibited superior charge injection efficiency to the nanoporous counterpart prepared by the traditional method. More importantly, the crystal size and facet proportion of BiVO 4 decahedrons were facilely controlled. The charge separation efficiency can be significantly improved with a reduction in the crystal size and an increase in (0 4 0) facet exposure. A new method was developed for rate law analysis: illumination intensity-modulated oxygen evolution reaction rate versus open circuit potential difference, which suggested that the surface reaction kinetics was not affected by facet regulation. Furthermore, after decorating the FeOOH and NiOOH as dual oxygen evolution cocatalysts, an enhanced photocurrent density of 3.2 mA cm −2 at 1.23 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode and interfacial charge injection efficiency of 97.0% can be reached. Our work inspires the development of facet-regulated BiVO 4 photoanodes with high charge injection efficiency in the PEC field and provides a feasible route to enhance its charge separation efficiency.

Photocatalytic process using core–shell nano-catalyst is an efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective process for removal or minimize hazard of pollutants in waste water. Herein, a recyclable and robust Cu 2 O/Fe 3 O 4 @C/Cu core–shell nanocomposite with photocatalyst activities is designed based on the synergistic photocatalytic activities of Cu 2 O and Cu and the magnetic property and stability of Fe 3 O 4 @C. The Cu 2 O/Fe 3 O 4 @C/Cu is shown to act as nano-catalyst to almost completely convert 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) within 3 min by sufficient electrons in the electron-rich region formed under ultraviolet light irradiation. The Cu 2 O/Fe 3 O 4 @C/Cu nanocomposite shows a good stability, reusability and magnetic separation ability after five recycles. In addition, a photocatalytic mechanism of 4-NP reduction over this nanocomposite is proposed, and the roles of each nanocomponent of this nanostructure played in the synergistic enhancing photocatalytic performance via cascade reaction is demonstrated. This work suggests that Cu 2 O/Fe 3 O 4 @C/Cu nanocomposite with high activity, good stability and magnetically recyclability could be applied for the elimination of pollutants in wastewater.

Marine alkaloids have novel structures and antitumor activities. Therefore, we synthesized rhopaladins’ analogs from marine alkaloids rhopaladins A-D and modified their structures to synthesize 4-benzylidene-5-pyrrolidone derivatives. Among the compounds, (2E, 4E)-4-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-2-(4-chlorostyryl)-N-cyclohexyl-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxamide (RPDPRH) has high efficiency and less hepatotoxicity, with IC50 values of 4.66, 6.42, 17.66, 15.2, 12.36, 22.4, and 243.2 μM in vitro anti-proliferative activity testing against cervical cancer C-33A, CaSki, SiHa, and HeLa cells, human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 and 7402 cells, and human normal liver LO2 cells, respectively. In particular, RPDPRH has similar activity to cisplatin on human hepatocarcinoma cells, and cisplatin served as a positive control in our study. Next, the apoptosis of HepG2 and 7402 cells induced by RPDPRH at different concentrations was detected by Annexin V/PI flow cytometry. Moreover, the expression of apoptotic proteins was detected by Western blot analysis. Finally, the results showed that RPDPRH could induce apoptosis of hepatocarcinoma cells by regulating Bax and Bcl-2 expressions. In summary, our results indicate that RPDPRH has the potential to serve as an antitumor agent and plays a significant role in future studies.

A new and highly stereoselective synthesis of chiral diol (S)-14, the common synthetic intermediate to (+)-(2R,4′R,8′R)-α-tocopherol (1), was accomplished in seven steps with 13.8% overall yield. This developed route featured a lipase-catalyzed desymmetric hydrolysis of prochiral diester 39a, which was prepared through a challenging Heck coupling, to chiral quaternary carbon-containing monoester (R)-37a of the correct configuration in 81% yield and 96.7% ee, to the best of our knowledge, leading to the most efficient enzymatic desymmetric synthesis of the chiral chroman skeleton of vitamin E members reported to date. Coupled with the modified preparation of the phytol-derived side chain, the chemoenzymatic total synthesis of 1 was completed in 15 longest linear steps with 3.1% overall yield.

Electrocatalytic conversion of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to value-added 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is of great significance for sustainable chemical production. The key challenge is to establish an electrocatalytic system with a wide potential window, which can selectively oxidize HMF to FDCA without causing water oxidation. In this study, Cu foam decorated with Cu(OH)2 (CF-Cu(OH)2) was successfully fabricated as an efficient catalyst, and CuOOH active species generated by electrochemistry were demonstrated as the main catalytic sites for HMF oxidation. As a result, the current density of CF-Cu(OH)2 reached up to 198.2 mA/cm2 (100 mM HMF, 1.0 M KOH, 0.8 V vs Ag/AgCl), and a high faradic efficiency close to 100% for FDCA production (yield: 98.7%) was realized. Moreover, we reveal the mechanism for the electro-oxidation of HMF to FDCA and further provide an insight into the oxidation pathway for HMF. A paired electrochemical system exhibits superior catalytic performance of synergetic reactions (HMF oxidation and 4-NP reduction). Therefore, this work proposes a strategy to simultaneously produce two types of value-added chemicals at both electrodes, which can be applied in other electrocatalytic systems for the green synthesis of organic compounds.

Isothiocyanates had attracted attention for many years due to their antimicrobial properties. In this study, the antifungal efficiency of eighteen isothiocyanate compounds were evaluated against six plant pathogenic fungi and two molds in vitro . Among them, 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl isothiocyanate displayed the highest antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger (EC 50 = 4.19 μg/mL). The further studies of its mode of action showed that it may damage the cell morphology and membrane integrity in a dose dependent manner by morphological observation, propyl iodide staining and the release of cellular contents. On the other hand, the decrease of related enzyme activities in tricarboxylic acid cycle suggested that 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl isothiocyanate may effected energy metabolism. Besides, reactive oxygen species, the content of malondialdehyde, the total antioxidant capacity , the content of glutathione and the kinase of oxidative reactive were changed in fungi treated with 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl isothiocyanate, compared with those in untreated fungi, which all indicated that 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl isothiocyanate exhibited antifungal activity against A.niger by inducing oxidative stress.
