Due to their high surface energy, naked gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) tend to form agglomerates, which could lead to the decrease of active sites and catalytic activity of AuNPs. Herein, the gold nanoparticles/polyacrylonitrile (AuNPs/PAN) nanofibrous membranes have been prepared via an environmentally friendly and efficient route combining electrospinning, amination, and electroless plating technique. The abundant amine and imine groups can be introduced onto the surface of PAN nanofibrous membranes via amination treatment which could be used as “anchoring sites” to immobilize AuNPs. The resultant composite membranes were applied as the new catalytic materials for reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol under room temperature. The new catalytic membranes exhibited the significant advantages, such as low dosage, high catalytic activity, easy recycling, and excellent stability.

In this study, mesoporous SBA-15 bifunctionalized with cetyl and amino groups (cetyl/amino-SBA-15) was successfully prepared by a post-synthesis grafting method. Detailed characterization by XRD, FT-IR, N2 adsorption–desorption and elemental analysis confirmed that cetyl/amino-SBA-15 still retained a long-range ordered hexagonal mesostructure. Cetyl and aminopropyl groups were simultaneously functionalized on the surface of SBA-15. The adsorption capacity of cetyl/amino-SBA-15 was much higher than the arithmetic sum of those of cetyl-SBA-15 and amino-SBA-15 due to the cooperative effect of hydrogen bonding/electrostatic interaction between 4-nonylphenol (4-NP) and aminopropyl groups and hydrophobic interactions between 4-NP and cetyl groups. The effects of the dosage and mole ratio of cetyl and amino groups on the adsorption properties of cetyl/amino-SBA-15 for 4-NP were also investigated. Cetyl/amino-SBA-15 exhibited excellent adsorption capacity over a wide range of pH values and cetyl/amino-SBA-15(3.2/0.8) displayed the highest adsorption capacity up to 120 mg g−1. Furthermore, cetyl/amino-SBA-15 exhibited high adsorption selectivity for 4-NP against phenol as well as high reusability, showing great potential for applications in wastewater treatment.

A novel calix[4]arene-based tetracholesteryl derivative was synthesized, and its gelation behaviours in 30 organic solvents were studied. It showed that 1 gelled long chain alkane, some of alcohol, kerosene, ethyl acetate benzene and toluene. Interestingly the gel of 1/kerosene possessed special property, which was that the mixture solution of the compound 1/kerosene heating for a while was put on the flat contact heater and formed a gel film at 25 °C and 65 °C. Unlike ordinary film, gel film had higher strength and toughness at 65 °C, by contrast other was fragile and broken easily at 25 °C, this phenomenon was few reported before. In order to explore the phenomenon, the mechanism of the gel of 1/kerosene was discussed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), High Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (H NMR), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (IR) and micro-rheology. SEM revealed that the xerogel of 1/kerosene assembled network through some long and thick fibers at 65 °C, with concentration reducing fibers become thin and its networks were clearly observed. In contrast the morphology of xerogel was porous at low concentration and was a bulk at high temperature system. According to EI data in micro-rheology, the gelation process could be divided into three stages at 65 °C and they could be that some cholesterol segments in the gelator interacting with each other formed some small aggregation in the first stage, and other cholesterol section of the gelator sufficiently were cross-linked with time and assembled into large assembly in the second plateau. In the final moment the large assembly build gel network and the system of gel tended to stable. But there are two stages at low temperature and could be some cholesterol segments that didn't take part in assembly, which may be the cause that the performance of gel was fragile.

The pyrolytic characteristics of cellulose, cellobiose and glucose were examined by TG-FTIR combined with Py-GC–MS, in order to gain the effect of β -O-4 glycosidic bond on the pyrolysis process. In TG-FTIR analysis, two mass loss peaks were observed for cellobiose and glucose, indicating dehydration in low temperature stage and consequently intensive cracking of glycosidic bond and fragments for cellobiose. The samples were tested in Py-GC–MS at the temperature of 300, 500 and 900 °C according to their mass loss characteristics from TG-FTIR. Formation of furans from cellobiose, which involved the cracking of β -O-4 glycosidic bond, was prominent over other products, compared to that of cellulose and glucose. Four possible chemical pathways for the cleavage of β -O-4 glycosidic bond have been proposed with regard to the formation of furans and anhydrosugars from cellulose. Besides, another two reaction pathways leading to the formation of levoglucosan were also suggested.

The solubilities of 4′,5,7-triacetoxyflavanone in eight different alcohols, 2-methoxyethanol, 2-propoxyethanol, 2-butoxyethanol, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, and acetone have been measured with an HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) analysis method at the experimental temperature from 278.2 to 318.2 K. The solubilities of 4′,5,7-triacetoxyflavanone in selected solvents increase with an increasing of temperature. The solubilities of 4′,5,7-triacetoxyflavanone were correlated with the modified Apelblat equation and universal quasichemical (UNIQUAC) equation, respectively. The correlated solubilities were in good accordance with the measured data at the experimental temperature. Furthermore, the crystal habits of 4′,5,7-triacetoxyflavanone in selected solvents were studied in this work.

A composting study was performed to investigate the degradation of 4-nonylphenol (4-NP) in river sediment by inoculating Phanerochaete chrysosporium ( Pc ). Pc was inoculated into composting Reactor A, C and D, while Reactor B without inocula was used as control. The results showed that composting with Pc accelerated the degradation of 4-NP, increased the catalase and polyphenol oxidase enzyme activities in contaminated sediment. The dissipation half-life (t 1/2 ) of 4-NP in Reactor A, C and D with inocula of Pc were 2.079, 2.558, 2.424 days, while in Reactor B without inocula of Pc it was 3.239 days, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that the contents of 4-NP in sediment in Reactor A and D were negatively correlated with the actives of laccase, whereas no obvious correlation was observed in Reactor B and C. All these findings also indicated that Pc enhanced the maturity of compost, and the best composting C/N ratio was 25.46:1.

Hybrid nanostructures can be multifunctional and even possess enhanced properties. Ag–Fe2O3 nanocomposites and Ag nanoparticles (NPs) were fabricated and applied to catalyze the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. Compared with Ag NPs, Ag–Fe2O3 nanocomposites demonstrated enhanced catalytic activities. Furthermore, due to their magnetic properties, Ag–Fe2O3 nanocomposites could be easily separated from the reaction mixture and recycled through an external magnetic field. These findings will help us design hybrid nanostructures with catalytic activity and explore other potential applications of magnetic nanocomposites.

The development of efficient and robust metal nanoparticle catalysts for the aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol is crucial for advancing green chemistry. This study presents a class of ceria nanoparticle catalysts, designated as Ce-NC/CFMX-T, where “T” denotes the pyrolysis temperature. These catalysts are synthesized by pyrolyzing a mixture of Ce-MOF-801/CFMX and dicyandiamide at high temperatures, aimed at the liquid-phase aerobic oxidation of 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol to 4-methoxybenzaldehyde, using molecular oxygen as the oxidizing agent and avoiding harmful additives or bases. Among the synthesized catalysts, Ce-NC/CFMX-973 exhibited exceptional catalytic efficiency, achieving over 99.9% conversion of 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol and complete selectivity for 4-methoxybenzaldehyde. This performance was achieved under moderate conditions, using xylene as the solvent at 373 K over 8 h and an oxygen pressure of 1 atm. Kinetic analysis revealed that the activation energy for oxidizing 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol using Ce-NC/CFMX-973 was 68.5 ± 3.0 kJ/mol, which is lower than the values observed for Ce-C/CFMX-973, Ce-NC-973, and Ce-C-973. The remarkable catalytic performance of the Ce-NC/CFMX-973 catalyst is attributed to the synergistic effects between CeO2 nanoparticles and oxygen vacancies, along with the support’s balanced acidity and basicity properties.

Natural polymer chitosan has many advantages, but the poor solubility limits its application. In this study, chitosan derivatives soluble in DCM, DMF, DMSO, H 2 O and other solvents were developed by introducing side chains into chitosan (CS). In addition, the fluorescent group on the side chain makes the chitosan derivative have the ability to detect 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). Firstly, a chain transfer agent containing C C (N3-NS) was synthesized with naphthalimide as the fluorescence unit. Then, using AIBN as initiator, an extensively soluble polymer with fluorescent moiety TP-NVP was synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) method using monomer N -vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP). Finally, the C C of TP-NVP was used to react with –NH 2 on CS to prepare PVP-g-chitosan, so that more CS was “pulled” by TP-NVP into the solvent. The solubility of the synthesized CS-PVP probe can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of NVP, up to 17.6 mg/mL. At the same time, the synthesized CS-PVP had a good detection effect on 4-NP, and the detection limit (LOD) was 0.054 μM. The HOMO-LUMO energy level of the probe was calculated by cyclic voltammetry (CV). In addition, CS-PVP was successfully loaded on a low background fluorescent test paper to achieve real-time visual intelligent determination of 4-NP in real samples with the help of a color scanning APP of a smartphone.

Hydrodefluorination (HDF) is the key step in fluoroaromatic pollutant (FAP) degradation, making the search for efficient HDF catalysts and the determination of the corresponding mechanism a matter of great importance. In this study, we developed an efficient HDF catalyst (a Rh-Pd alloy) and investigated the underlying catalytic reaction mechanism , using 4-fluorophenol (4-FP) as a model FAP. Specifically, the rapid aqueous-phase HDF of 4-FP at pH 3 was achieved on a Rh-Pd alloy-modified Ni foam electrode, which was followed by ring hydrogenation (RH) of the HDF product (phenol) to afford cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol . Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) and thermodynamic analyses showed that, in addition to those supplied by the applied current, the electrons involved in the HDF of 4-FP and the RH of phenol were largely provided by the oxidative dissolution of the Ni foam support. Hydrogenation and cyclic voltammetry experiments indicated that the HDF of 4-FP probably follows an indirect mechanism (featuring adsorbed H atoms as the direct reductant) and that the strength of 4-FP adsorption onto the surface of the catalyst significantly influences its HDF activity.

Biosensors based on allosteric transcription factors have been widely used in synthetic biology. In this study, we utilized theAcinetobacterADP1 transcription factor PobR to develop a biosensor activating the PpobApromoter when bound to its natural ligand, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4HB). To screen for PobR mutants responsive to 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate(HPP), we developed a dual selection system inE. coli. The positive selection of this system was used to enrich PobR mutants that identified the required ligands. The following negative selection eliminated or weakened PobR mutants that still responded to 4HB. Directed evolution of the PobR library resulted in a variant where PobRW177Rwas 5.1 times more reactive to 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate than PobRWT. Overall, we developed an efficient dual selection system for directed evolution of biosensors.

Poly[(3-hydroxybutyrate)- co -(4-hydroxybutyrate)] (P34HB), poly[(butylene succinate)- co -(butylene furandicarboxylate)] (PBSF) and poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) were melt-blended to prepare P34HB/PBSF/PVAc blends with improved ductility. The thermal properties, mechanical properties, rheological properties and morphology of the blends were systematically studied. The addition of PBSF promoted the melt crystallization of P34HB. The temperatures at 5% weight loss of the blends were higher than that of P34HB. The surface of the blends was investigated using scanning electron microscopy. The surface of P34HB was very smooth, but the surfaces of the blends were rough. PVAc can increase the compatibility between P34HB and PBSF. Compared with P34HB, the elongation at break of the blends was increased to 219.1%. © 2024 Society of Industrial Chemistry.
