Sustainable cellulose has attracted considerable attention in the field of renewable supercapacitor owing to its low-cost and lightweight properties. However, it is still a challenge to enhance their electrochemical performance. Here, nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) co-doped carbon aerogels derived from cellulose were synthesized via the sol-gel-lyophilization-carbonization method. Their structures were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen sorption isotherm, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The N/P co-doped carbon aerogel exhibited significantly enhanced porous surface properties, and the increasing contents of the N and P could provide more defects and active sites. Therefore, the sample achieved a high specific capacitance of 235.5 F g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 , while also demonstrating good retention of specific capacitance with 62.6 % of initial capacitance at 20 A g −1 . The electrode exhibited 87 % capacitance retention and an excellent coulombic efficiency of close to 100 % after undergoing 10,000 cycles at a current density of 6 A g −1 . Overall, the synthesized cellulose carbon aerogels, modified through doping engineering, have been identified as a promising candidate for supercapacitor electrodes.

Synthetic polypeptides, also known as poly(α-amino acids), have the same polyamide backbone structures as natural proteins and peptides. As an important class of biomaterials, polypeptides have been widely used because of their biocompatibility, bioactivity and biodegradability. Ring-opening polymerization of N -carboxyanhydride (NCA) is a classical and widely used method for the synthesis of polypeptides. The dominantly used primary amine–initiated NCA polymerization can yield well-defined polymers and complex macromolecular architectures, but the reaction is slow and sensitive to moisture, making it necessary to use anhydrous solvents and a glovebox. One solution is to use lithium hexamethyldisilazide (LiHMDS) as the initiator, as described in this protocol. LiHMDS-initiated NCA polymerization is less sensitive to moisture and can be carried out in an open vessel outside the glovebox. It is also very fast; the reaction can be complete within 5 min to produce 30-mer polypeptides. In this protocol, poly(γ-benzyl- l -glutamate) is prepared as an example, but the protocol can easily be adapted to the synthesis of other polypeptides by generating NCAs from different amino acids, making it particularly suitable for the efficient parallel synthesis of polypeptide libraries. We provide detailed procedures for NCA synthesis and purification, the method of polymer end-group modification and measurement of polymerization kinetics and reactivity ratio. The procedure for synthesis of monomers and polymerization to form polypeptides requires <1 d. The superfast and open-vessel NCA polymerization method described here will probably enable a wide range of applications in the synthesis and functional study of polypeptide biomaterials.

Acidic and basic sites of catalysts are essential for CO 2 capture and activation. In this work, Zr, N-ZnO/ZnAl-LDH-IL composites in ionic liquid and methanol systems were fabricated, and applied to catalyze the synthesis of ethylene carbonate (EC) from ethylene glycol (EG) and CO 2 with about 4.76 mmol EC g Cat. −1 h −1 . The composites showed more strong basic sites due to the effective induction of reactive groups on the catalyst surface by Zr doping, resulting in an increase of pyridinic-N groups from 5.48% to 22.25%. More C atoms adjacent to pyridinic-N as strong basic sites was conducive to the activation of CO 2 and EG. In addition, the possible catalytic pathway and mechanism of the composites for synthesizing EC as well as the doping of La, Fe, Ce, and Cu were also investigated, which provides an effective strategy for regulating the acid-base centers on the catalyst surface through ionic liquids and methanol solvents.

Goat lactoferrin is an N-glycoprotein, and its glycan moieties are essential for its biological activity. However, the structures of these glycans, particularly the sialylated isomers with α-2,3- or α-2,6-linkages, remain poorly characterized. Utilizing online hydrophilic liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, our study characterized N-glycans in goat lactoferrin across different lactation stages, and the putative structures of the 86 N-glycans of goat lactoferrin were presented, including 53 previously undetected ones. The content and variety of N-glycans decreased from colostrum to mature milk, with transitional milk exhibiting the highest levels of neutral and high-mannose N-glycans. Colostrum was particularly rich in fucose- and sialylated N-glycans, especially those with α-2,6-linkages. Notably, the α-2,6-linked sialylated N-glycan H5N4F1A1-1 was 7.09-fold and 12.85-fold more abundant in colostrum compared to transitional and mature milk, respectively. These findings provide valuable insights into the structure of lactoferrin and could facilitate the development of functional goat milk products.

Ti(C,N) is commonly observed in vanadium titanomagnetite blast furnaces and greatly affects the stable and smooth operation of the smelting processes. To get fundamental insight into Ti(C, N) formation, systematic experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of the composition of slags, temperatures, reaction time and reaction atmosphere on the formation of Ti(C,N) from TiO 2 -containing slags. The results show that TiN and TiC contents increase with TiO 2 content increases. When TiO 2 is larger than 30 wt pct, TiN contents increase dramatically. Control of basicity, MgO and Al 2 O 3 concentrations in the slag could help to reduce Ti(C,N) contents in slags. TiN and Ti(C,N) contents increase dramatically with the extension of time. TiN is more easily formed at high temperatures, and TiN contents increase with the increase of temperature. With the increase of N 2 contents, TiC contents are relatively stable, and TiN and Ti(C,N) contents increase almost linearly. H 2 would greatly promote the formation of TiC. This paper can provide a theoretical basis for minimizing the formation of Ti(C,N) in different blast furnace conditions.

The p- or n-type property of semiconductor materials directly determine the final performance of photoelectronic devices. Generally, perovskite deposited on p-type substrate tends to be p-type, while perovskite deposited on n-type substrate tends to be n-type. Motived by this, a substrate-induced re-growth strategy is reported to induce p- to n-transition of perovskite surface in inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). p-type perovskite film is obtained and crystallized on p-type substrate first. Then an n-type ITO/SnO 2 substrate with saturated perovskite solution is pressed onto the perovskite film and annealed to induce the secondary re-growth of perovskite surface region. As a result, p- to n-type transition happens and induces an extra junction at perovskite surface region, thus enhancing the built-in potential and promoting carrier extraction in PSCs. Resulting inverted PSCs exhibit high efficiency of over 25% with good operational stability, retaining 90% of initial efficiency after maximum power point (MPP) tracking for 800 h at 65 °C with ISOS-L-2 protocol.

The sensitive and rapid detection of n-butanol gas is crucial for ensuring industrial safety, environmental protection, and biological health. In this study, we employed electrospinning to fabricate a series of CuBi 2 O 4 nanofibers and nanotubes, followed by thorough characterization and analysis of their structural and functional features using XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, and XPS techniques. The gas-sensing performance demonstrates that CuBi 2 O 4 nanotubes (CBO-500) exhibit an exceptionally rapid response to n-butanol, highlighting their potential for use in high-sensitivity n-butanol sensors. The sensor exhibited a response of 12.30–10 ppm n-butanol at 150 °C, with a rapid response time of 2 s and a recovery time of 41 s. Furthermore, the sensors based on CBO-500 nanotubes exhibited excellent selective. In addition, this study elucidates the underlying mechanisms responsible for the gas-sensing properties of CuBi 2 O 4 nanotubes toward n-butanol.

To achieve the optimized performance and the widespread application of thermoelectric materials , it is crucial to decouple the highly interrelated thermoelectric parameters of materials. In this study, we illustrate that phonon and carrier transport properties of n-type Bi 2 Te 3 -based composites can be simultaneously optimized through alloying Cu 2 Se. Owing to the chemical reactions between the Bi 2 Te 3 matrix and the Cu 2 Se additives during the sample preparation, the carrier concentration and density-of-states effective mass can be tuned to optimize the carrier transport properties, while the lattice thermal conductivity can be reduced by introducing hierarchical structures including point defects , Cu 7 Te 5 inclusions, phase boundaries and localized Te-deficient regions. As a result, an enhanced thermoelectric performance is achieved compared with pristine Bi 2 Te 3 . Our study indicates the alloying Cu 2 Se can synergistically control the thermoelectric properties of Bi 2 Te 3 .

Three azo dyes were synthesized using N-butyl substituted phthalimides as diazo components. All of the synthesized intermediate derivatives and dyes were characterized by mass spectrometry, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared (IR) and elemental analyses. Synthesized dyes were also evaluated for their dyeing behavior and fastness properties toward polyester fabric. The ultraviolet-visible absorption maxima of the dyes were observed in the range of 445–563 nm. Bromo and cyano substitutions at the 3- and/or 5- positions of the phthalimide ring resulted in hypsochromic and bathochromic shifts, respectively. IR spectra peaks at 1770 and 1395 cm−1 of hydrolyzed dye showed that C–O groups appeared under relatively mild alkaline conditions. The K/S values of dyed polyester/elastane fabrics decreased obviously as the pH value increased. Hydrolysis of the phthalimide ring was found to be largely influenced by steric effects rather than inductive effects. Bromo substituted dyes have the lowest rates of hydrolysis. Compared with S-type dyeing disperse dyes, phthalimide dyes have lower dyeing rates and lower levelness of dye migration. The ωB97XD/6-311G(d,p) calculation found that pi-stacking interactions of phthalimide–benzene and phthalimide–phthalimide dimers increased the dye–fiber and dye–dye interactions.

The photoluminescence, electroluminescence, and electrochemiluminescence from nanocrystals (NCs) have been extensively exploited for both fundamental and applied investigation over two decades, while the understanding of chemiluminescence (CL) from NCs is still far from clear by now. Herein, a general route for triggering CL from NC luminophore is proposed by extensively exploiting the charge transfer between n-type NCs and oxidants. Oxidants, such as K2S2O8, H2O2, KMnO4, and NaClO, can chemically inject the hole onto the valence band (VB) of methionine-capped n-type AuNCs (Met@AuNCs) and enable the occurrence of efficient radiative-charge-recombination between the chemically injected exogenous VB hole and the pre-existed endogenous conduction band (CB) electron, which eventually results in single-color and defect-involved CL with the maximum emission wavelength around 824 nm. The CL of Met@AuNCs/oxidant is qualified for ultrasensitive CL immunoassay in a similar procedure to the biotin–avidin and magnetic separation involved commercial CL immunoassay and exhibits acceptable performance for linearly determining carcinoembryonic antigen from 50 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL with a limit of detection of 10 pg/mL (S/N = 3). This strategy provides a general route to develop nanoparticulate CL luminophores and might eventually enable CL multiplexing assay via extensively exploiting the CL of different wavebands.

Azacrown ethers contain multiple coordination sites, which show specific complexation to alkali metal ions . In this research, a neoteric liquid-liquid extraction system was investigated for the selective separation of lithium isotope using N -phenylaza-15-crown-5 (Ph-N15C5) as chelating agent and [BMIm][NTf 2 ] and anisole as extraction solvent. The effects of the counter anions of lithium salt , concentrations of crown ether , temperature, extraction equilibrium time and concentrations of lithium salt solution on the separation of lithium isotope with Ph-N15C5 were studied. The maximum extraction efficiency of lithium ions was 41.54% and the maximum single-stage separation factor (α) of 6 Li/ 7 Li obtained in the present study was 1.025, indicating that the lighter isotope 6 Li was enriched in organic phase while the heavier isotope 7 Li was concentrated in the aqueous phase. The complexation ratio of the lithium crown ether complex was determined as 1:1 by the slope analysis method. The lithium ions in the aqueous phase were extracted into the organic phase to form [Li(Ph-N15C5)] + complex. The thermodynamic data obtained at different temperatures demonstrated that lithium isotope exchange was a spontaneous exothermic process , and lowering the temperature was beneficial to increase the separation factor. In addition, the system reached the extraction equilibrium after 60 min. This high efficiency and green liquid-liquid extraction system has potential application in lithium isotope separation.
