Electrochemical oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has drawn wide attention recently. Rational interface engineering can modulate the electronic structure, tune the adsorption energy and endow the hybrid material with more active sites for HMF electrochemical oxidation. Herein, we propose a strategy for the synthesis of metal sulfide/metal phosphide (MSx/MPy, M = Co, Fe, Ni…) nanotube arrays with abundant interfaces by the sequential electrodeposition interface engineering method. Since Ni-based electrocatalysts show high efficiency for the electrochemical oxidation of HMF, we designed and synthesized interface-rich heterogeneous NiSx/Ni2P nanotube arrays. The abundant interfaces promote electron transfer between NiSx and Ni2P, which synergistically improves the oxidation state of the Ni species and further enhances the electrocatalytic performance of HMF oxidation. The NiSx/Ni2P electrocatalyst shows superb HMF oxidation activities with a low onset potential of 1.25 V vs. RHE. A current density of 20 mA cm−2 can be reached at 1.346 V vs. RHE, which is reduced by 204 mV compared with that with water oxidation. Chronoamperometry electrolysis reveals that HMF conversion is nearly 100% and FDCA selectivity can reach 98.5%.

Directly synthesizing olefins from syngas using metal-zeolite composite catalysts has engrossed a lot of attention recently. Fe-based catalysts will be the most promising industrial candidates due to cost and availability constraints. In this work, we investigate the characteristics and Fischer-Tropsch activity of a novel Fe@Na-ZSM-5 composite for one-step conversion of syngas to higher olefins (C 5+ ). The in-situ crystallization mechanism induced Na in the ZSM-5 as a Fe-based promoter which realized 52.5 % selectivity for gasoline of which ∼ 70% were olefins. Additionally, the promotion by the Na ions enhanced the formation of Fe 5 C 2 phases which in turn favored C–C coupling, high gasoline and olefins selectivity. Na type zeolite (Na-Zeolite) offers a novel Na electron promoter, which participate immensely in the development of heterogenous catalyst and functional materials.

Nanofiltration with high stable permeance is of great significance for wastewater treatment . Herein, we reported the novel polyamide thin-film composite (PA TFC) nanofiltration membranes prepared for the first time by blending nanometer cerium doped high silica ZSM-5 zeolites (CeO 2 @HSZSM-5, CHZ) in the aqueous phase followed by the classic interfacial polycondensation . The structural morphology of these membranes and their performance had been characterized. SEM and XPS characterizations clearly revealed the presence of inorganic CHZ in the PA layer. The results also showed that the CHZ-integrated inorganic-organic PA TFC membranes with a higher fraction of CHZ had a thinner PA active layer (28.3 ± 3.6 nm) and slightly enlarged pore size with lower crosslinking degree. The optimized membranes exhibited 1.65-folds pure water permeability of the traditional membrane, 20.3 L/(m 2. h . bar) with comparable Na 2 SO 4 and MgSO 4 rejection of 95.8% and 91.1%, respectively. The rejection of dyes stayed stable above 96.0% with boosted permeance, and the membrane almost completely removed CR and RB as well as natural organic matters. The composite membrane also sustained superior stability and excellent antifouling performance. The as-prepared CHZ-integrated PA TFC membranes with regulatable structural morphology and superior separation properties enables the potential practical application in wastewater treatment.

Graphical HMF synthesis in NADES : High yield of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is obtained in a cheap and green natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) system with a low amount of SnCl 4 catalyst from different biomass materials, including glucose, starch, and food wastes. The addition of water obviously improves the reactivity and economy of the NADES mixture. This is a green and efficient method to utilize carbohydrate resources for HMF production in a robust solvent system. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has been regarded as an essential building block for synthesizing chemicals and biofuels, but the direct conversion of biomass to HMF is still a critical challenge. In this study, a cheap and green aqueous-natural deep eutectic solvent (A-NADES) was used to efficiently produce HMF from various carbohydrates, with a low amount of SnCl 4 as the catalyst. High HMF yields of 64.3, 64.0, 61.3, and 54.5 % were obtained from glucose, starch, rice waste, and bread waste at 130 °C in the A-NADES/MIBK (methyl isobutyl ketone) biphasic system, respectively. Mechanistic study results revealed that the water in A-NADES was the key factor in facilitating the conversion of Sn atom existent forms and promoted the HMF production. The choline chloride in NADES stabilized the HMF product with the cooperation of extraction solvent MIBK and inhibited the side reactions of HMF. This study investigated the multiple interaction functions of A-NADES to feedstocks and proposed a practical application of novel solvents to facilitate biomass and food waste conversion with a green method.

In this study, efficient production of the platform chemical 3-acetamido-5-acetylfuran (3A5AF) from chitin resources via a chemo-enzymatic protocol was investigated. Initially, chitinolytic enzyme was used to convert chitin into N -acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) using an affinity adsorption–enzymatic reaction integrated approach. Then, the obtained GlcNAc was used to produce 3A5AF using screened ammonium thiocyanate (NH 4 SCN) as the catalyst. The optimal conditions for converting GlcNAc into 3A5AF were determined at a temperature of 180 °C, solvent of DMAc, a molar ratio of GlcNAc to NH 4 SCN of 2:1, addition of CaCl 2 ·2H 2 O, a molar ratio of GlcNAc to CaCl 2 ·2H 2 O of 1:1 and a reaction time of 10 min, resulting in 3A5AF with a molar yield of 56.66%. The NH 4 SCN showed good recyclability within five cycles. Furthermore, upon scaling up of the 3A5AF preparation, a good yield was still maintained. Additionally, 99% pure 3A5AF needle-shaped crystals were obtained with 34 wt% yield by crystallisation purification. This new chemo-enzymatic protocol provides a good option to convert chitin resources into 3A5AF.

5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is one of the food contaminants mainly formed by Maillard and caramelization reaction. Here, we developed a simple method to detect HMF based on split-DNAzyme assisted signal amplification via Quartz crystal microbalance . Firstly, two fragments of the split-DNAzyme (ESΙ and ESII) and AuNPs-ssDNA were prepared. In the absence of HMF, the amino group of ESΙ reacted with the aldehyde group of ESΙΙ by Schiff base condensation，which linked ESΙ and ESII as DNAzyme. With the help of Mg 2+ , this DNAzyme cleaved AuNPs-ssDNA, freeing the complementary sequence of capture DNA from the ssDNA. In the presence of the target HMF, the aldehyde group in its molecular structure preferred to react with ESΙ, which prevented the link of ESΙ and ESII. In this case, DNAzyme cannot be formed effectively and the ssDNA modified on AuNPs cannot be cleaved. Secondly, the capture DNA was immobilized on Au chip in the QCM chamber. Then, the intact AuNPs-ssDNA was introduced to hybridize with the capture DNA, resulted in a large frequency change (ΔF) of the QCM biosensor because of the huge increased mass of AuNPs. So, HMF can be detected based on the frequency change (ΔF) of the QCM biosensor. This QCM biosensor is more sensitive than previously reported methods, which provide a new direction for the analytical detection of HMF and other food contaminants.

Zeolite is one kind of the solid acid catalysts for the oligomerization process but surfers from rapid deactivation. In this specific study, a series of mesoporous ZSM-5 catalysts have been synthesized and evaluated in the 1-hexene oligomerization. XRD, BET, SEM, TEM, 27 Al MAS NMR, 29 Si MAS NMR, NH 3 -TPD, Py-FTIR and TGA analysis were used to characterize the physicochemical properties of zeolites. The synthesized mesoporous zeolites were found to be more stable in the reaction and the initial activity increase significantly compared with the common ZSM-5 zeolite . Moreover, the catalytic activity of mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolite is found to be closely related to the number and the distribution of acid sites. The mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolites with the lower amount of acid sites, moderate strength of Brønsted acid sites inhibiting the cracking and coke products. High L/B ratio enhanced the dimers formation. The efficiency was further highlighted by a high space–time yield (STY) of 557 mg·g cat −1 h −1 in the average stage at 260 °C. Compared to conventional ZSM-5 catalyst, the synthesized catalyst displayed excellent resistance to coke deposit.

Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase A (RpiA) is of great importance in biochemistry research, however its application in biotechnology has not been fully explored. In this study the activity of RpiA from Ochrobactrum sp. CSL1 (OsRpiA) towards D-allose was engineered based on sequential and structural analyses. Strategies of alanine scanning, rational design and saturated mutagenesis were employed to create three mutant libraries. A single mutant of K124A showed a 45 % activity improvement towards D-allose. The reaction properties of the mutant were analyzed, and a shift of optimal pH and higher thermal stability at low reaction temperatures were identified. The conversion of D-allose was also improved by 40 % using K124A, and higher activities on major substrates were found in the mutant’s substrate scope, implying its application potential in rare sugar preparation. Kinetics analysis revealed that K m of K124A mutant decreased by 12 % and the catalytic efficiency increased by 65 % towards D-allose. Moreover, molecular dynamics simulation illustrated the binding of substrate and K124A was more stable than that of the wild-type. The shorter distance and more relax bond angle between the catalytic residue of K124A and D-allose explained the activity improvement in detail. This study highlights the potential of OsRpiA as a biocatalyst for rare sugar preparation, and provides distinct evidences for its catalytic mechanism.

Electrochemical oxidation of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is an intriguing way of biomass conversion. Herein, a sulfidation of nickel foam (Ni2S3/NF) was attempted via a hydrothermal method, achieving high selectivity and efficiency for HMF oxidation. The optimized Ni2S3/NF electrode exhibits a nearly 100% conversion of HMF, 98% yield of FDCA, and 94% high faradaic efficiency. This material is stable and retains activity after 6 consecutive measurements. This work provides a facile route to design and prepare electrocatalysts for biomass upgrading.

In this work, a sulfonic acid-functionalized magnetic separable solid acid (Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -SO 3 H) was synthesized, characterized, and tested for fructose conversion to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). Results indicated that the prepared catalyst had a good efficacy for fructose dehydration to HMF due to its larger specific surface area, appropriate acid amount and homogeneous acid distribution. The maximum HMF yield of this work was 96.1 mol%. It was obtained at 120 °C for 1.5 h with 100 mol% fructose conversion. More importantly, the produced HMF could be further in-situ oxidized into 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) after the replacing of the Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -SO 3 H with a ZnFeRuO 4 catalyst, and the highest DFF yield of 90.2 mol% (based on initial fructose) was obtained after reaction another 8.5 h. The production of DFF from fructose through the above two consecutive steps avoids the intermediate HMF separation, which saves time and energy. In addition, both Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -SO 3 H and ZnFeRuO 4 catalysts exhibited satisfied stability in the recycling experiments, which can be reused at least for five times with the HMF and DFF yield loss<5.3% and 3.3%, respectively. Finally, the plausible reaction mechanisms for fructose conversion to HMF or DFF over Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -SO 3 H or/and ZnFeRuO 4 catalysts were also proposed in this work.

The preparation of value-added products is an effective way to reuse waste cotton fabrics (WCFs). Seven kinds of choline chloride (ChCl)-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were rapidly formed and characterized. Performances of these ChCl-based DESs were evaluated in terms of degradation of WCFs to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) without any additional catalyst. The degradation was characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) method. The results showed that the DESs formed by ChCl and p -toluene sulfonic acid ( p -TSA) had the best effect in converting WCFs. Moreover, the stability of 5-HMF in the as-obtained DESs was also investigated. The highest 5-HMF yield was 10.20 % at 100 °C, with a reaction time of 90 min, and the molar ratio of hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) to hydrogen bond donor (HBD) was 1:1.3 in ChCl/ p -TSA DESs system without a catalyst. The investigated DESs system offers a good alternative compared to the available WCFs degradation methods, considering its cost-efficiency, environmental, and operability aspects. Therefore, the green and environmentally friendly synthesis of 5-HMF from cellulose materials (WCFs) could be an effective method to realize the high-value utilization of waste textiles, having an important theoretical significance and practical value.

The production of 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) from renewable and abundant biomass feedstock has attracted great attention due to its potential applications in the chemistry and energy industries. As one of the most abundant biomass, glucose has great significance for the production of EMF in large scale. In this study, an efficient one-pot conversion of glucose into EMF catalyzed by ultra-stable Y zeolite (USY) was developed. The effects of process parameters including reaction temperature, reaction time, reactant concentration, and catalyst dosage on EMF yields were systematically investigated, and the respond surface methodology was further used to investigate the interactions of different parameters. Under the optimum reaction conditions of reaction temperature 200 °C, reaction time 10 min, the substrate concentration 100 g·L −1 , and catalyst dosage 1.8 ωt%, a EMF yield of 39.5 mol% can be obtained. Moreover, the products distribution was analyzed by GC–MS and a plausible reaction pathway of glucose one-pot alcoholysis reaction catalyzed by USY was put forward accordingly. At the same time, XRD, FTIR, BET, NH 3 -TPD, and Py-IR were used to characterize the reusability of USY, and the results showed that the structure of the catalyst was kept stable after being reused. After five cycles, the EMF yield was 31.4 mol% suggesting that the catalyst maintained high catalytic activity. Graphical abstract
