Natural ester is regarded as a potential alternative to mineral insulating oil and has a wide range of applications in power system , but its electrical properties and thermal conductivity still need to be improved. Nano modification technology can improve the performance of natural ester to ensure the stability and reliability of natural ester in power equipment. In this study, nano modified natural ester is prepared with APTES surface modified h-BN, and the mechanism of enhancing the properties of natural ester is explored from the microscopic perspective by molecular simulation. The experimental results showed that nano h-BN had good dispersion stability in natural ester after surface modification with APTES. The electrical properties and thermal conductivity of the nano modified natural ester have been greatly improved, and the relative optimal doping concentration of nanoparticles is 0.03 g/L. The simulation results show that the interfacial thickness between nanoparticles and natural ester is larger and more tightly bound after surface modification, which is beneficial to reduce thermal resistance and improve thermal conductivity of natural ester insulating oil. The traps at the interface between nanoparticles and natural ester can capture free electrons in the oil, thus improving the breakdown voltage of natural ester insulating oil.

Searching for highly efficient and robust CO2 adsorbents is very important for CO2 capture, utilization, and storage. In this study, new polyethylenimine-grafted metal–organic framework (MOF)–polymer composites, abbreviated as PEI@PGD-H, were synthesized via high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) template polymerization of divinylbenzene and glycidyl methacrylate, followed by in situ generation of HKUST-type MOF in the presence of hydrophobic-modified CuO nanoparticles via the reaction of CuO with 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid and then polyethylenimine (PEI) functionalization via epoxy–amine reaction and amine–metal sites interaction. The coexistence of the hierarchical interconnected porous skeleton of poly(glycidyl methacrylate–divinylbenzene) (PGD), high specific surface area of MOF, and chemical CO2 adsorption of PEI endows PEI@PGD-H with high CO2 adsorption capacity, rate, and selectivity. PEI70@PGD-H shows a CO2/N2 separation factor as high as 76 and CO2 adsorption capacities of 4.3, 3.0, and 1.8 mmol of CO2/g from pure CO2, simulated flue gas, and air, respectively. After 20 CO2 adsorption–desorption cycles, the adsorbent still retained a high and stable CO2 capture capacity over 2.8 mmol of CO2/g for simulated flue gas. The adsorbent also displays reasonably good thermal stability, excellent water endurance, low desorption energy, and easy shaping. The desorption heat is as low as 48 kJ/mol of CO2. These features make PEI@PGD-H highly efficient, robust, and low-energy CO2 adsorbents for practical application in CO2 capture.

In order to efficiently produce γ-valerolactone (GVL) from furfural , a Zr-graphitic carbon nitride/H-β composite (Zr CN/H-β) had been simply prepared via an impregnation-calcination protocol. The morphology and structure, elemental information, and total acid and base properties of the Zr CN/H-β and related catalysts (H-β, CN/H-β, and Zr/H-β) were determined by SEM, TEM , X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD-NH 3 , CO 2 ) characterizations. The effects of reaction temperature and time, and the furfural dosage on GVL production as well as the recyclability of Zr CN/H-β were investigated. With a catalyst/furfural dosage of 0.1/0.22 g, the Zr CN/H-β produced a remarkable 76.5% of GVL yield at 160 °C in 18 h using isopropanol as the solvent. The results of NH 3 , CO 2 -TPD experiments indicated that the simultaneous introduction of Zr species and carbon nitride onto H-β formed new types of acid and base, which should be responsible for the high efficient conversion of furfural to GVL. Additionally, the recyclability of Zr CN/H-β was reasonable.

The separation of water and oil is a promising work due to the increasing worldwide oil pollution and leakage of chemical solvents. Superhydrophobic porous materials were prepared for their separation. In this work, various porous substrates of copper meshes, filter papers and polyurethane (PU) sponges were chosen to obtain superhydrophobic surfaces. Superhydrophobic surfaces were fabricated by polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and hydrophobic nano-silica particle coatings through a spraying approach. The superhydrophobicity, stability of coatings and oil/water separation effect of these as-coated materials were studied. The results demonstrated that all the surfaces showed high water contact angles (>150°), good reusability and excellent oil selectively. Moreover, the coated filter paper was scaled up for practical use of removing trace water from mineral insulating oil in our group. It is promising that this superhydrophobic coating could be used in more applications.

An intramolecular aryl C−H amination reaction has been achieved using molecular iodine as the sole oxidant for the synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives. The required substrates were readily prepared by addition or coupling of arylamines with the corresponding nitriles or aryl iodides. Iodine-mediated oxidative cyclization of these substrates in the presence of potassium carbonate (K 2 CO 3 ) as base afforded the corresponding products in moderate to good yields. The transition metal-free protocol presented here is insensitive to air and operationally simple. This versatile and eco-friendly synthetic methodology is broadly applicable to a variety of N -aryl-substituted amidines and pyridin-2-amines, and provides direct access to both 1 H -benzo[ d ]imidazole and pyrido[1,2- a ]benzimidazole derivatives from the corresponding precursors.

Swerilactones H–K ( 1 – 4 ) as four unprecedented secoiridoid trimers represent a new type of natural product, which has attracted much interest of natural chemists due to their novel skeletons and promising bioactivity. In order to well understand their MS fragmentation behaviors, they were investigated by electrospray ionization ion-trap time-of-flight multistage product ion mass spectrometry (ESI-IT-TOF-MS n ) for the first time. The protonated molecules ([M+H] + ) of swerilactones J and K, and deprotonated molecules ([M−H] − ) of swerilactones H, J and K were readily observed in the conventional single-stage mass spectra (MS); however only the [M+Cl] − ion for swerilactone I was obtained in negative mode. Based on the MS n study, the fragmentation pathways of swerilactones H and I in negative mode, and swerilactones J and K in both positive and negative modes were proposed. The neutral losses of H 2 O, CO, CO 2 and C 2 H 4 O moieties are the particular elimination from the precursor ions due to the presence of hydroxyl, δ -lactone and 1- O -ethyl moieties in their structures, of which the retro-Diels–Alder cleavage was the most particular dissociation. The fragment ions at m/z 341 and 291 in negative mode can be considered as the diagnostic ions for secoiridoid trimers. This investigation will provide valuable information for their fast characterization from complicated natural mixtures and extensive understanding their structural architectures.

Electrophotocatalytic C-H hydroxylation of benzene is an emerging green technology with high potential for producing phenol in one step. However, it is still limited by efficiency and scale-up challenges in batch process. In this study, a novel electrophotochemical flow microreactor was designed and manufactured using 3D printing technology. Static mixers were incorporated to enhance the mixing. The effect of various parameters, such as electrode materials, reaction time, potential, and reactant concentration, etc., on the continuous synthesis of phenol in the as-developed microreactor was investigated. Furthermore, machine learning (ML) algorithms were employed to explore the impact of these parameters on the reaction efficiency. With cost-effective electrodes, higher phenol productivity was achieved in the present flow microreactor when comparing with batch counterpart and literature value. This study offers insights into the optimization of electrophotochemical microreactor for the hydroxylation of benzene, and provides guidance for exploring sustainable electrophotocatalytic organic synthesis in flow.

H-NS is a histone-like nucleoid-structuring protein that regulates gene expressions, particularly acquired foreign genes, however, little is known about whether H-NS can modulate bacterial susceptibility by regulating its intrinsic genes. The hns-deleted mutant EΔhns, the hns-complemented strain EΔhns/phns and the hns-overexpressed strain E/phns were derivatives of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, the susceptibility of which were assessed by the broth microdilution method and time-kill curves assays. We found that the MICs for strain EΔhns against gentamicin and amikacin were significantly decreased by 8–16 folds in contrast to E. coli ATCC 25922. Further studies displayed that the absence of hns caused damage to the bacterial outer membrane and increased the expression levels of porin-related genes, such as ompC, ompF, ompG, and ompN, thus obviously enhancing aminoglycosides uptake of strain EΔhns. Meanwhile, hns deletion also led to remarkable inhibition of the efflux pumps activity and decreased expressions of efflux-related genes clbM, acrA, acrB, acrD, and emrE, which reduced the efflux of aminoglycosides. In addition, the activation of glycolysis and electron transport chain, as well as the reduction of Δψ dissipation, could lead to a remarkable increase in proton motive force (PMF), thus further inducing more aminoglycosides uptake by strain EΔhns. Our findings reveal that H-NS regulates the resistance of E. coli to aminoglycosides by influencing its uptake and efflux, which will enrich our understanding of the mechanism by which H-NS modulates bacterial resistance.

Solar-driven evaporators have emerged as a sustainable strategy for water purification and energy harvesting. Designing advanced systems that achieve high evaporation performance, long-term operational stability, and resistance to salt crystallization remains a significant challenge. In this study, an innovative Janus membrane is proposed that addresses these challenges, featuring a super hydrophilic cellulose nanofiber (CNF)@Hexadecyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB)-MXene layer and a superhydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) layer. CTAB modification of MXene enhances its interlayer spacing and specific surface area, enabling rapid water transport and efficient solar energy absorption of the CNF@CTAB-MXene layer. A PTFE layer is sputter-deposited onto CNF@CTAB-MXene layer, effectively preventing salt accumulation and membrane fouling, with plasma pre-treatment ensuring excellent interfacial bonding between these two layers. Under 1 sun illumination, the CNF@CTAB-MXene/PTFE Janus evaporator achieves a remarkable evaporation rate of 1.51 kg m −2 h −1 with outstanding salt resistance. The synergy between superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic layers facilitates efficient water transport while maintaining long-term stability without performance degradation. Additionally, the evaporator generates a voltage of 343.8 mV during thermoelectric power generation, and its unique design allows electricity generation from wind energy at night. This integrated system provides an advanced and durable solution for water-power co-generation, offering practical benefits for off-grid or remote regions.

Acidic oxygen evolution electrodes are essential anodes in acidic water splitting, carbon dioxide, nitrogen electrochemical reduction, etc. The iridium–ruthenium (Ir–Ru)-based catalysts have the potential to withstand the harsh acid corrosion and oxidation environments of the oxygen evolution reaction, but there are still challenges in designing and preparing highly active and stable integrated Ir–Ru electrodes. Herein, we develop a cost-effective and scaled-up passivation engineering strategy to prepare an integrated Ir–Ru anode containing a Ti substrate, a manganese titanate (MnTiO3) passivation layer, and an Ir–Ru oxide catalytic layer. By uniformly loading an appropriate amount of divalent Mn ions (Mn2+) on the surface of zerovalent Ti metal (Ti0) and heating to 350 °C in air, a special passivation reaction occurred between Mn2+ and Ti0, producing a dense MnTiO3 passivation layer. The conductive MnTiO3 passivation layer forms a strongly bonded interface with the Ti substrate, effectively protecting the Ti substrate from electrochemical oxidation to insulating TiO2. Then, on the surface of MnTiO3, a thin layer of complex ions of Ir and Ru is uniformly adsorbed, and after secondary heat treatment, Ir–Ru mixed oxides are generated. Interestingly, the lattice of MnTiO3 perfectly matches that of Ir and Ru oxides, thus achieving the epitaxial growth of Ir–Ru mixed oxides on the surface of MnTiO3 with strong interaction interfaces. These result in the high activity and stability of low-loading Ir–Ru oxides, with an overpotential of only 165 mV at 10 mA cm–2 and over 3000 h of stable operation at 300 mA cm–2 in acidic electrolytes. In situ Raman spectroscopy combined with isotope labeling experiments further confirms that the Ir–O–Ru local structure suppresses the participation of lattice oxygen and enhances the stability of active Ru species.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) has attracted wide attention for medical application due to its biocompatibility and bioactivity. However, the infection problems of HA remain among the leading reasons for implantation failure. Thus, it is urgent to endow HA biomaterials with antibacterial activity. Herein, the high antibacterial activity was achieved by introducing trace Mn3+ and H vacancy couples in HA through a facile heat-treatment strategy in air. The theoretical results indicated that Mn3+ was preferentially substituted for the Ca(2) site in the HA structure with a charge-compensating H vacancy appearing at the adjacent OH− site. The antibacterial tests showed that Mn-HA possessed antibacterial activity towards both E. coli and S. aureus with trace Mn content at the ppm level, and implied that Mn3+ and centers may play an important role in the antibacterial process. The Mn3+ and couples in Mn-HA, serving as oxidative and reductive centers respectively, could then collectively participate in the CoQ/CoQH2 redox cycling and synergistically facilitate the accumulation of CoQ˙− and ROS radicals. This enhanced ROS production was the main factor to endow Mn-HA with efficient antibacterial activity. Moreover, the in vitro bioactivity assay showed that Mn-HA materials exhibited enhanced osteogenic activity and good biocompatibility. Therefore, this work not only provides a feasible method to control the oxidation state of Mn elements in HA, but also proposes a novel trace Mn3+-doped HA for potential applications in tissue engineering.

A series of ultraviolet (UV)-curable self-healing polyurethane (PU) oligomers were synthesized by incorporating different contents of 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidone and polycarbonate diols (PCDL) with different molecular weights at the end of PU chains. The structure of the oligomers were determined through Nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The PU oligomers were used to produce UV-curable self-healing coatings, the properties of which were investigated and the properties of the coatings with different functionality were studied. The results revealed that the performance of the coating was higher when a higher molecular weight of PCDL was used and With functionality increasing, the crosslinking density of the coating ascends, resulting in higher self-healing temperature and upper pendulum hardness and gloss of the coating. To balance the self-healing ability and mechanical properties of the coating, a series of coating formulations were designed by adding different types and amounts of active diluents. Double bond conversion, thermostability, and self-healing ability were investigated to determine the effect of active diluents on coating performance. The results demonstrated that the resultant coating have excellent adhesion, gloss, and thermostability. Coatings prepared used all types of active diluents had favorable self-healing ability, except for that prepared using 2-acryloyloxymethyl-2-ethyltrimethylene diacrylate. Excellent self-healing and mechanical properties were obtained when 20 w.t.% of triethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate was used.
