Nanoparticles have the great potential to act as drug delivery carriers, and such systems must effectively deliver the drug to the cancer cells, and provide intracellular drug release. In this research, two types of H+-triggered bubble generating nanosystems (BGNS) were developed which were obtained using hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles loaded with doxorubicin and subsequently treated with bubble generating agents, i.e., sodium bicarbonate (SBC) and ammonium carbonate (AC). These were named BGNS-SBC and BGNS-AC. After internalization by the tumor cells, the H+ reacts with bicarbonate or carbonate to generate carbon dioxide bubbles quickly in an acidic environment of endo/lysosomes, which results in lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP). Then, the enhanced LMP induced cancer cell death by an apoptosis-like pathway because of the release of caspase-3 from the lysosome into the cytoplasm. In addition, BGNS-SBC and BGNS-AC possessed remarkable cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cells and efficiently overcame the multidrug resistance (MDR) of MCF-7/adriamycin cells. Therefore, these bubble generating nanosystems could be a promising nanocarrier for the treatment of tumors.

To date, NH3 synthesis under mild conditions is largely confined to precious Ru catalysts, while nonprecious metal (NPM) catalysts are confronted with the challenge of low catalytic activity due to the inverse relationship between the N2 dissociation barrier and NHx (x = 1–3) desorption energy. Herein, we demonstrate NPM (Co, Ni, and Re)-mediated Mo2CTx MXene (where Tx denotes the OH group) to achieve efficient NH3 synthesis under mild conditions. In particular, the NH3 synthesis rate over Re/Mo2CTx and Ni/Mo2CTx can reach 22.4 and 21.5 mmol g–1 h–1 at 400 °C and 1 MPa, respectively, higher than that of NPM-based catalysts and Cs–Ru/MgO ever reported. Experimental and theoretical studies reveal that Mo4+ over Mo2CTx has a strong ability for N2 activation; thus, the rate-determining step is shifted from conventional N2 dissociation to NH2* formation. NPM is mainly responsible for H2 activation, and the high reactivity of spillover hydrogen and electron transfer from NPM to the N-rich Mo2CTx surface can efficiently facilitate nitrogen hydrogenation and the subsequent desorption of NH3. With the synergistic effect of the dual active sites bridged by H-spillover, the NPM-mediated Mo2CTx catalysts circumvent the major obstacle, making NH3 synthesis under mild conditions efficient.

There remains a great challenge to develop a switchable and feasible membrane for integrate reversible separation of oil/water mixtures. Herein, a highly-quality CAU-10-H mesh membrane with switchable superwettability was fabricated via solvothermal synthesis for on-demand oil/water separation. The CAU-10-H membrane exhibited under-liquid dual superlyophobicity due to the hierarchical micro-/nanostructures constructed by interpenetrating CAU-10-H crystals grown on the mesh. Meanwhile, the secondary growth time affecting the wetting behavior of the membrane is studied. More importantly, the membrane can achieve both immiscible oil/water separation and emulsion separation with high separation flux and high efficiency (>99.9%). Moreover, the membrane shows an excellent anti-corrosive property in various harsh environment. The present development would provide novel insights into the rational fabrication of MOF-based membranes for on-demand oil/water separation.

Post-modification of polyolefins by cutting-edge C–H activation has recently emerged as an attractive methodology for the incorporation of precise functionalities, thus expanding their applicability and creating value-added materials. In this report, chromone (CM), the core of naturally occurring molecules possessing manifold biological and pharmacological activities, was incorporated into polyethylene (PE) through the recently developed radical-mediated alkane C–H activation approach. The reaction was conducted in the presence of di-tertbutyl peroxide as the oxidant and a small amount of naphthalene as the solvent or under solvent-free conditions. The produced CM-grafted PEs (CM-PEs) exhibited intriguing antioxidative and fluorescence properties as revealed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and fluorescence microscopy. Moreover, CM-PEs were successfully demonstrated to act as a polymer-bound antioxidant, a fluorescence marker for plastic sorting, and a traceable compatibilizer for the PE/polystyrene blend, revealing that CM-PE is a multi-functional material.

Abstract The views on catalytic activity of zeolite in isomerization of α -pinene have not came to an agreement. Thus, the key active substance in zeolite was further studied through experiments. H-mordenite was treated in three ways: (i) calcination under nitrogen flows, (ii) calcination under oxygen flows, (iii) calcination under nitrogen flows after alkali treatment. The properties of modified zeolites were investigated by methods of SEM, EDS, XRD, nitrogen adsorption, NH 3 -TPD, Py-IR, and 29 Si and 27 Al MAS NMR. The results showed that the zeolites produced mesoporous after 0.4M NaOH solution soaking and calcinations above 500 °C, but it had a slight effect on the change of micropore volumes. Comparison of zeolite acid sites amount under different roasting temperature by NH 3 -TPD showed that the decrease of acid sites amount was mainly related to the roasting temperature. Py-IR and 27 Al MAS NMR experiment revealed that Lewis acid was produced by framework aluminum. Finally, Analysis on the influencing factors we studied of H-mordenite catalytic activity in this paper suggested that, in isomerization of α -pinene, the relative concentration of six-coordination aluminum in zeolite is the dominant factor of provided catalytic activity of H-mordenite.

On the basis of the method used by Reinsch and Solovyeva, the aluminum based MOF material CAU-10-H (CAU stand for Christian-Albrechts-University) was synthesized by multiplying the amount of aluminum sulfate octahydrate and isophthalic acid by 10 times. CAU-10-H (b) is obtained after washing. In order to improve the water vapor adsorption performance of pure CAU-10-H (b), lithium chloride (LiCl) solution was compounded with CAU-10-H (b) by impregnation method to obtain a composite adsorbent CAU-10-H (L) and its adsorption characteristics were studied. The results showed that the composite adsorbent showed good adsorption and desorption performance under test conditions. Among them, the equilibrium adsorption capacity of the composite adsorbent with 33.1% LiCl content is 0.5007 g/g after 30 cycles, which is about 1.675 times of the adsorption capacity of pure CAU-10-H (b) under the same conditions. This shows the potential of the composite adsorbent to be used in the air-water extraction system.

Oxidation of fatty alcohols to fatty acids is still challenging due to the sluggish activation of the C–H bond over Au supported on reducible oxides with a coordination-saturated structure. Herein, we constructed an efficient interfacial Auδ−–OV–Ti structure by tuning the crystal forms of TiO2. Compared with TiO2-rutile exposed by (110) and (111) crystal facets, TiO2-anatase can exploit the defect (101) crystal facet to obtain rich oxygen vacancies (OV), inducing electron migration from TiO2-anatase support to Au species to form electron-rich Auδ− species. Specifically, the synergistic catalytic effect between the OV–Ti and Auδ− species greatly enhances the adsorption of alcohol and thereby overcomes sluggish activation of the C–H bond caused by the electron pushing effect triggered by long carbon chains. Consequently, the Au/TiO2-anatase catalyst shows excellent isooctyl alcohol conversion (69.5%) and isocaprylic acid selectivity (67.9%) under base-free conditions. The catalytic system is further extended to the oxidation of other fatty alcohols to fatty acids with excellent catalytic performance.

The Li-Mg-B-H composite (2LiBH 4 + MgH 2 ) is acknowledged as a promising material for hydrogen storage due to its large hydrogen capacity (11.4 wt.%). However, the sluggish kinetics and poor reversibility make it difficult to be practically used. In this work, the hydrogen storage performances of 2LiBH 4 + MgH 2 have been significantly improved by a hybrid of bulk NbC and layered Nb 4 C 3 MXene (denoted as “Nb-C”). The 2LiBH 4 + MgH 2 + 6 wt.% Nb-C can release 8.5 wt.% H 2 within 30 min at 400°C and the dehydrogenated composite can absorb 9.3 wt.% H 2 within 30 min at 350°C and 7.5 MPa H 2 . The reversible dehydrogenation capacity maintains at 8.4 wt.% after 24 cycles, with a capacity retention ratio of 95.4%. By contrast, the undoped 2LiBH 4 + MgH 2 suffers from serious capacity degradation, with the capacity decreased dramatically to 3.5 wt.% after 3 cycles. Microstructural studies revealed that the doped composite has uniform particle and elemental distributions and possesses various multiphase interfaces of LiH/MgB 2 /NbC/Nb 4 C 3 , which is beneficial to hydrogen diffusion during the hydrogen uptake and release process. Theoretical studies by first principle calculation presented an extended bond length of the Mg-H and B-H bonds in the 2LiBH 4 + MgH 2 + NbC system, which may also explain the improved hydrogen storage properties of 2LiBH 4 + MgH 2 by addition of Nb-C. This work provides new insights into the role of transition metal carbides in regulating the Li-Mg-B-H hydrogen storage materials both experimentally and theoretically.

Li–Mg–B–H composite (2LiBH 4 + MgH 2 ) possesses a very high hydrogen storage capacity of 11.4 wt%. However, it still suffers from high operating temperature, slow kinetics, and poor reversibility. In this work, the two-dimensional Ti 3 CN MXene was first synthesized and then introduced into the Li–Mg–B–H composite. The addition of 5 wt% Ti 3 CN reduces the onset dehydrogenation temperature of the 2LiBH 4 + MgH 2 composite by about 50 °C and shortens the induction period of the LiBH 4 decomposition at 400 °C from >90 min to <10 min. The reversible capacity maintains at 8.3 wt% after 20 cycles, with a capacity retention ratio of 93%. Microstructure studies show that Ti 3 CN will partially transform to a highly-dispersed nano-TiB 2 with particle size around 5 nm. Such nano-TiB 2 could serve as an active catalyst to significantly improve the kinetics and reversibility of the Li–Mg–B–H composite. This work offers a strategy to enhancing the hydrogen storage performance of the advanced metal borohydride-based composites by addition of the MXene material and provides some new insights in understanding the role of MXene in tailoring the hydrogen storage properties of the Li–Mg–B–H composite.

Numerous catalytic reaction systems take oxygen vacancy as the active site to initiate the redox cycle. However, the oxygen vacancy is easily occupied by various oxygen-containing species (e.g., water or other intermediates), resulting in catalyst deactivation . Here, we demonstrate that the layered double hydroxide (LDH) catalysts fundamentally solve the deactivation of oxygen vacancy frequently encountered with metal oxide catalyst systems, which simultaneously realizes the superior reactivity and durability for catalyzing ozone decomposition. First-principles calculations reveal that the ubiquitous surface hydroxyls on the layered hydroxide serve as the reactive sites and the redox cycle is achieved by a robust H-transfer mechanism in the 2D confined LDH systems, which are responsible for the extraordinary activity and resistance of LDH catalysts.

Sulfonated hierarchical H-USY zeolite was prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction, N 2 physisorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia, and acid–base titration. It was proved that sulfonic group was successfully anchored onto the hierarchical H-USY zeolite. The acidity of the hierarchical H-USY was remarkably improved. Sulfonated hierarchical H-USY zeolite was efficient for the hydrolysis of hemicellulose and cellulose. The yield of TRS for hydrolysis of hemicellulose reached 78.0% at 140 °C for 9 h. For hydrolysis of α-cellulose, 60.8% conversion with 22.4% yield of glucose was obtained. Even for microcrystalline cellulose, 43.7% conversion with 15.1% yield of glucose can be obtained. These results are much higher than those obtained over hierarchical H-USY zeolite, indicating that both the acidity and the pore structure determine the activity of zeolite as catalyst in the hydrolysis of biomass.

Magnesium borohydride (Mg(BH 4 ) 2 ) is widely regarded as a promising hydrogen storage material due to its high capacity; however, it is still challenging to synthesize Mg(BH 4 ) 2 with low cost. Traditionally, Mg(BH 4 ) 2 has been mainly produced using other borohydride as the starting materials via exchange reactions. Herein, we report an economical method to synthesize Mg(BH 4 ) 2 by converting B-O bonds in widely available borates or boric acid to B-H. The borates or boric acid is ball-milled with MgH 2 under ambient conditions to form Mg(BH 4 ) 2 with high yield (>80%). Mg(BH 4 ) 2 was also successfully generated by reacting low-cost Mg with boric acid. Compared with previous approaches, this method avoids expensive boron sources such as LiBH 4 , NaBH 4 , and B 2 H 6 , and does not require high pressure H 2 gas and high temperatures, and therefore significantly reduces costs. This method could be an alternative to the current Mg(BH 4 ) 2 synthesis processes.
