HfCxN1−xnanoparticles were synthesized using the urea-glass route, employing hafnium chloride, urea, and methanol as raw materials. The synthesis process, polymer-to-ceramic conversion, microstructure, and phase evolution of HfCxN1−x/C nanoparticles were thoroughly investigated across a wide range of molar ratios between the nitrogen source and the hafnium source. Upon annealing at 1600 °C, all precursors demonstrated remarkable translatability to HfCxN1−xceramics. Under high nitrogen source ratios, the precursor exhibited complete transformation into HfCxN1−xnanoparticles at 1200 °C, with no observed presence of oxidation phases. In comparison to HfO2, the carbothermal reaction of HfN with C significantly reduced the preparation temperature required for HfC. By increasing the urea content in the precursor, the carbon content of the pyrolyzed products increased, leading to a substantial decrease in the electrical conductivity of HfCxN1−x/C nanoparticle powders. Notably, as the urea content in the precursor increased, a significant decrease in average electrical conductivity values was observed for the R4-1600, R8-1600, R12-1600, and R16-1600 nanoparticles measured at a pressure of 18 MPa, yielding values of 225.5, 59.1, 44.8, and 46.0 S·cm−1, respectively.Keywords:HfCxN1−x;pyrolysis;ultra-high-temperature ceramics;nanoparticles

Compared to other synthetic methods, the synthesis of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) by the boron oxide chemical vapor deposition (BOCVD) method can balance the purity and quality of the product nanotubes. However, due to the solid reaction characteristics of boron monomers, the closed reaction system, and the synthesis temperature of over 1000 °C, growth studies of BNNTs have been in a dilemma. To this end, simultaneous thermal analysis combined with multi-atmosphere annealing experiments at corresponding temperatures is used to study the inorganic solid-state reaction of the classical BOCVD precursor B/Li2O in real time and confirmed by experimental results that lithium borate is the actual active component and catalyst. Further experiments reveal that the growth process of BNNTs and lithium borate not only consumes less of the precursor and ammonia but is also flexible in its configuration, showing exceptional efficiency and reactivity. Lastly, experiments have shown that the structure and activity of borate are equally applicable to alkali metals, alkaline earth metal, and transition metals.

Hierarchical porous carbon shows great potential in the field of energy storage due to high porosity, large surface area, and excellent electrical conductivity. Here, we successfully fabricated carbon aerogel derived from sodium alginate/melamine composite (SAM) by directional freeze-drying combined with simple carbonization and activation process. The optimal SAM-700-4 possesses a high nitrogen (5.67 at.%) and oxygen (8.98 at.%) contents along with high specific surface area of 2577.62 m 2 /g and unique directional channel structure. Due to their synergistic effect, the SAM-700-4 electrode exhibits a high specific capacitance of 441.80 F/g at a current density of 0.5 A/g. Interestingly, the all-solid-state symmetric supercapacitor based on SAM-700-4//SAM-700-4 in PVA/SA/KOH gel electrolyte has a large energy density of 20.87 Wh/kg at a power density of 4000 W/kg and exhibits excellent cycling stability. It is believed that this N, O co-doped directional hierarchical porous carbon aerogel may show promising prospects as advanced energy storage materials.

Effects of pH (5, 7, or 9) and arginine level (0, 0.6%, 1.2%, or 1.8%, w/v) on the stabilization of emulsions prepared by a novel thermal-assisted stirring method were evaluated. The results of physical stability showed that thermal-assisted stirring was effective in manufacturing heat-insensitive o/w emulsions. As the arginine level increased, the emulsifying ability and the absolute zeta potential of each pH-treated group first increased significantly and then decreased significantly, reaching a maximum at 1.2% (w/v) addition. When pH increased, the emulsifying ability and the absolute zeta potential of each arginine-treated group increased significantly. The results of particle size, storage modulus, and loss modulus were in accordance with changes in the emulsifying ability and the zeta potential, which were confirmed by the microstructure. As a result, the emulsion prepared at pH 9 with 1.2% (w/v) arginine had the largest levels of emulsion stability and surface protein load (145.69 mg/m 2 ). In conclusion, the major reason for the formation of heat-insensitive emulsions by thermal-assisted stirring might be attributed to a high level of surface protein load, and increasing pH and arginine addition might enhance the adsorption of gelatin-arginine complexes on the surface of oil droplets, thereby improving the stability of emulsions.

Hypothesis Iohexol (IOH) is a commonly used second-generation nonionic iodinated contrast agent. However, low gastrointestinal mucosal adherence and high downstream speed limit its application in intestinal Computed tomography (CT) imaging. We hypothesize that oral IOH delivery carriers composed of environmentally responsive materials enable the intestinal targeted delivery and prolong the intestinal residence time of IOH, enhancing the intestinal disease detection efficiency. Experiments An emulsion-filled alginate hydrogel system was developed as the intestinal targeting vehicle for IOH. The formulation optimization was determined by response surface analysis . After a thorough study of the physicochemical properties of this hydrogel matrix, the pH sensitivity and the ability to control release were investigated, followed by a vitro cell experiment evaluating its bioactivity and CT imaging capability. Findings This alginate hydrogel matrix was sparsely structured and rapidly released IOH at pH 7.4. Meanwhile the swelling degree was 4.4 times higher than that at pH 1.2, indicating a good selective responsiveness to the gastrointestinal simulated environment. It improved the CT visual contrast of A549 cells without affecting cell morphology, suggesting that it would be an effective oral administration for water-soluble nonionic contrast agents and a potential candidate for intestinal disease detection tools.

Efficient depolymerization of C–O linkages is essential for converting lignin into fuels and higher value-added chemicals. In this work, CoRuP/SiO2, an amorphous Ru-Co phosphide composite, was fabricated for the efficient hydrogenolysis of ether linkages. The 4–O–5 andα–O–4 linkages containing lignin-related compounds, such as diphenyl ether, benzyl phenyl ether, 3-methyl diphenyl ether, and dibenzyl ether, are selected as representatives of linkages in lignin. Under mild conditions, Ru-containing metallic phosphides have high-performance for the catalytic depolymerization of C–O linkages. Compared with other catalysts, CoRuP/SiO2shows an outstanding selectivity for benzene and excellent efficiency in depolymerizing diphenyl ethers, yielding only a small amount of by-products. Furthermore, the total acidity shows a linear relationship with the hydrogenolysis reactivity in cleaving aromatic ether bonds. The mechanisms for the catalytic hydrogenolysis of 4–O–5 andα–O–4 bonds over CoRuP/SiO2are proposed. Moreover, two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum coherence nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis demonstrates that CoRuP/SiO2could effectively depolymerize C–O bonds of lignin. These dominant hydrogenolysis products from lignin have excellent potential in the production of high value-added drugs or pharmaceutical intermediates. The hydrogenolysis of lignin can be a highly efficient alternative to the existing method of lignin utilization.Keywords:hydrogenolysis;C–O linkages;metallic phosphides;reaction pathway

The treatment of arsenite pollution in water has always been concerned. Oxidation of high toxic As(III) to relatively low toxic As(V) by efficient photocatalytic oxidation technology is a research hotspot. This paper is focused on the active photocatalyst of TiO 2 @Fe 3 O 4 composites synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method for the efficient photocatalytic oxidation of As(Ⅲ). The successful construction of Ti–O–Fe interface bonds between TiO 2 and Fe 3 O 4 significantly promoted the transfer efficiency of photo-generated carriers, and further rapidly improved the photocatalytic oxidation efficiency of As(Ⅲ). The application results showed that the constructed TiO 2 @Fe 3 O 4 photocatalyst with 0.10 g Fe 3 O 4 (TF-0.10) could complete the transformation from As(Ⅲ) (10,000 μg/L) to As(Ⅴ) within 4 min with a high oxidation ratio of 100% and maintained the good properties with unchanged crystal structure after five cycles. Furthermore, the photocatalytic properties of TiO 2 @Fe 3 O 4 composites were still stable under different pH values. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) consequence displayed that the superoxide radical (‧O 2 — ) and hole (h + ) were the main intermediate product in the arsenic photocatalytic oxidation system, and hydroxyl radical (‧OH) had little effect on this oxidation system. The possible mechanism of As(Ⅲ) photocatalytic conversion was further explored based on the results of the data analysis. Furthermore, this work provides a potential new idea for the practicability of efficient photocatalytic arsenic oxidation.

Wheat bran arabinoxylan-bovine serum albumin (WBAX-BSA) conjugates were prepared via enzymatic synthesis using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and H 2 O 2 as catalysts. The conjugates were characterized by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis), high-performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The feasibility of its application in stable emulsions was also assessed. UV–vis results revealed that phenolic acid in WBAX and aromatic amino acids in BSA were implicated in the enzymatic synthesis of the WBAX-BSA conjugate with the optimal WBAX:BSA mass ratio of 3:2. HPSEC results confirmed the intermolecular interactions between WBAX and BSA and the molecular weight of WBAX-BSA (2673 ± 16 kg/mol) was higher than that of control groups. Compared with the WBAX/BSA physical complexes, the WBAX-BSA conjugates had higher apparent viscosity (0.08–0.24 Pa.s), denser structure, larger particle sizes (33.5 ± 5.7 nm), and improving emulsifying properties in oil in water (O/W) emulsion system under different environmental stresses. The preparation of the enzymatic conjugates not only provides novel O/W emulsion systems but also improves processed food manufacturing processes that require efficient emulsification.

Development of highly active and stable catalyst for C–O bonds cracking is important in biomass conversion , in this work, we report a SiO 2 -encapsulated NiPt/HY core-shell catalyst for phenethoxybenzene (PEB) catalytic cracking . The as-grown silica shell with defined pores serves as a ‘storage’ to enhance local concentration of PEB and intermediate isomers and promotes catalytic cracking on NiPt/HY core. With the increase of silica shell thickness from 0 to 40 nm, PEB reaction rate has increased more than five times, and the major cracking product selectivity is raised to above 90%, which is attributed to the continuous conversion of PEB isomers within the shell. This designed structure endows the NiPt/HY@SiO 2 with a high activity and no obvious deactivation in PEB cracking to corresponding phenol and aromatics. The outstanding performance benefit from the enrichment effect on the unique core-shell structure, as well as the moderate acidity originated from silica regulation. This work can be extended to the modulation of microenvironment to promote the catalytic behavior of core-shell catalysts.

The inert substrate surface of MoS 2 leads to unsatisfactory adsorption performance. Herein, an inert substrate surface activation strategy is proposed, and the resulted MoS 2 /montmorillonite (MMT) prepared via the hydrothermal method is immersed with NaF (F–Mt). The intercalation of Na + contributes to inducing the transformation of MoS 2 from 2H phase to 1 T phase, thereby providing a large number of S vacancies and exposing available Mo 4+ . Meanwhile, the surface of MMT is activated due to the fact that partially [Si 4 O 10 ] 4- are etched by F - , which facilitates forming Si–O–Mo bonds to promote the charge transfer. The improved charge transfer rate can make S 2- in MoS 2 accumulate more negative charges, greatly enhancing the adsorption capacity to Pb 2+ . Moreover, the natural negative potential on the surface of MMT solves the problem of easy stacking for nanosheets , improving the availability of active sites on the edge, which are also benefit from the etching effect on MoS 2 nanosheets with NaF. The maximum adsorption capacity achieves 97.09 mg/g. Additionally, density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm the resulted S vacancies in MoS 2 are in favor of removing Pb 2+ , which is also contributed by the electrostatic and chemical adsorption with MMT. Therefore, it suggests that F–Mt is an excellent adsorbent for Pb 2+ .

In this paper, a series of N/O co-doped porous carbons (PCs) were designed and used to prepare coal tar pitch-based supercapacitors (SCs). The introduction of N/O species under the intervention of urea effectively improves the pseudocapacitance of PCs. The results show that the specific surface area of synthesized N3PC4-700 is 1914 m2 g–1, while the N and O contents are 1.3 and 7.2%, respectively. The unique interconnected pore structure and proper organic N/O co-doping, especially the introduction of pyridine-N and pyrrole-N, are beneficial for improving the electrochemical performance of PCs. In the three-electrode system, the specific capacitance and rate capability of N3PC4-700 are 532.5 F g–1 and 72.5% at the current densities of 0.5 and 20 A g–1, respectively. In addition, the specific capacitance of N3PC4-700 in a coin-type symmetric device is 315.5 F g–1 at 0.5 A g–1. The N3PC4-700 electrode provides an energy density of 43.8 W h kg–1 with a power density of 0.5 kW kg–1 and still maintains a value of 29.7 at 10 kW kg–1. After 10,000 charge/discharge cycles, the retention rate was as high as 96.7%. In order to obtain high-performance carbon-based SCs, the effective identification and regulation of organic N/O species is necessary.

In this work, a novel silver ion (Ag + )-regulated ratiometric fluorescence method for the effective and sensitive determination of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was established based on carbon dots (CDs) and o -phenylenediamine (OPD). OPD can be oxidized by Ag + to generate fluorescent 2, 3-diaminophenazine (DAP). Thus, based on inner-filter effect (IFE) or/and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between CDs and DAP, the CDs-Ag + -OPD system can generate dual-emission at 454 nm and 570 nm respectively when excited at 360 nm. The introduction of ascorbic acid (AA) can react with Ag + to produce dehydroascorbic acid (DHAA), which inhibits the generation of DAP, resulting in the fluorescence decrease at 570 nm and fluorescence recovery of CDs at 454 nm. Meanwhile, DHAA can react with OPD to generate quoxaline (QX), which emits strong blue fluorescence at 440 nm, further inhibiting the IFE or/and FRET between CDs and DAP. An obvious ratiometric fluorescence response was observed with the increase of the concentration of AA introduced. Due to the fact that AA can be generated by the enzyme catalysis reaction between ALP and 2-phospho- l -ascorbic acid (AAP), the CDs-Ag + -OPD ratiometric system was applied to the determination of ALP successfully. The ratiometric fluorescence value of F 454 / F 570 increases with increasing ALP concentration, with a linear range of 0.2 to 40 U/L and detection limit of 0.1 U/L. In addition, the CDs-Ag + -OPD ratiometric system was successfully applied to the detection of ALP in human serum samples.
