A novel technique for generating tetramethylpyrazine (TTMP) was proposed, carried out on a phenolics-Fenton coupled redox cycling system in an acetoin-ammonium acetate (AA-ACT) pattern reaction. The TTMP generation employing the Fenton system is a first-order reaction that significantly increased the reaction rate, especially in the early stages, distinguishing it from the original zero-order kinetics reaction pattern. Further, the Fenton reaction effectively promotes the TTMP generation at lower temperature, and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) could reset the Fenton reaction, accomplishing the redox cycle. We have discovered a novel class of intermediate products, N-substituted amides, which act as a “reservoir” and transform into amino acid, then undergo aromatization to generate TTMP. The results provide a useful supplement for intelligent synthesis route design, and a new approach for understanding the transformation pathways of pyrazines.

The rate performance of Li-S batteries still remains poor due to the limited redox kinetics of polysulfides (PSs). Herein, by selectively coating a set of 2-demensional (2D) organic molecules, chenodeoxycholic acid (CA), 4,4′,4′′,4′′′-(porphine-5,10,15,20-tetrayl) tetrakis (benzoic acid) (TTBA), berberine chloride hydrate (BCH) and poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDDA) on honey comb-like porous carbon (HC) interlayers, respectively, the redox kinetics of PSs are remarkably enhanced in the interspace between the 2D molecules and carbon matrix, in the order of CA

The Kirschner wire (K-wire) is a versatile and effective external fixator in orthopedic surgery. However, a recognized challenge associated with the use of K-wires is the potential for bacterial migration and subsequent infection as the wire passes through the skin and penetrates the bone. In this study, we developed a straightforward method for depositing antibacterial ions on K-wires by redox-assisted co-deposition. This method offers several advantages over conventional coating techniques , including uniformity, high coverage, strong adhesion , and scalability. As a result, K-wires treated with this method have a rapid and long-lasting antimicrobial effect. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments have demonstrated that these antimicrobial K-wires have an excellent bacterial elimination . The results of this study provide new opportunities for the application of robust and multifunctional antibacterial coating materials on implantable devices with great potential in the fields of orthopedics, transplantation and surgery.

An intelligent delivery nanoformulation could enhance the utilization efficacy, uptake, and translocation of pesticides in plants. Herein, a redox/pH-triggered and fluorescent smart delivery nanoformulation was designed and constructed by using hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (HMONs) and ZnO quantum dots as the nanocarrier and capping agent, respectively. Boscalid was further loaded to generate Boscalid@HMONs@ZnO with a loading rate of 9.8% for controlling Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea). The quantity of boscalid released by Boscalid@HMONs@ZnO in a glutathione environment or at pH 3.0 was 1.3-fold and 1.9-fold higher than that in a neutral condition. Boscalid@HMONs@ZnO has 1.7-fold the toxicity index of boscalid technical against B. cinerea in antifungal experiments. Pot experiments revealed that the efficacy of Boscalid@HMONs@ZnO was significantly enhanced more than 1.27-fold compared to commercially available water-dispersible granules of boscalid. Due to the fluorescence properties of Boscalid@HMONs@ZnO, pesticide transport’s real-time monitoring of pesticide translocation in tomato plants could be observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Fluorescence images revealed that HMONs@ZnO had been effectively transported via treated leaves or roots in tomato plants. This research showed the successful application of HMONs@ZnO as a nanocarrier for controlling disease and offered an effective avenue to explore the real-time tracking of pesticide translocation in plants.

2,2′,7,7′-Tetrakis( N , N -di(4-methoxyphenyl)amino)-9,9′-spirobifluorene (Spiro) is an essential hole-transport material used in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the redox reaction of Spiro and its impact at the interface with the metal electrode are not yet fully understood. In this study, we introduced a crystalline additive (CA) to regulate the redox process of Spiro and its interface with an Ag electrode. Our findings indicate that CA functions as a molecular scaffold, improving the crystallinity and stability of radicals in Spiro throughout the entire redox reaction. This enhancement increases the hole mobility of Spiro and strengthens the internal electric field, thereby improving hole extraction and transport efficiency at both interfaces. Moreover, the optimized redox reaction of Spiro reduces energy loss at the Ag electrode, significantly boosting the power conversion efficiency to 25.21%. Furthermore, CA mitigates the aggregation of lithium salt and enhances the stability of the device. Our findings contribute to a deeper understanding of hole-transport mechanisms of Spiro and emphasize the importance of reducing energy loss at the Spiro/Ag electrode interface in PSCs.

The FeaTibOx catalyst was loaded into the pores of porous ceramic using impregnation method for removing nitrogen oxides with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology. The catalytic performance over FeaTibOx catalyst was studied in detail. The Fe6Ti1Ox catalyst displayed more than 95% NOx conversion within the range of 280 °C–400 °C, and still maintained 97% NOx conversion when 300 ppm SO2 and 10 vol.% water vapor were introduced at the testing temperature of 300 °C. The influence factors (including filtration velocity, NH3/NO mole ratio and oxygen concentration) for NOx conversion over Fe6Ti1Ox catalyst were also studied. The suitable NH3/NO mole ratio and oxygen concentration was 0.9 and 6%, respectively. The XRD, N2-BET, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD and XPS were employed to investigate physicochemical property of the FeaTibOx catalyst. The results illustrated that Fe6Ti1Ox catalyst has hematite Fe2O3 and TiO2 structure, better redox properties and stronger surface acid.

The redox flow battery technology is of great potential for large-scale energy storage. However, its widespread application is suffering from the challenges of low energy efficiency and considerable performance degradation in the high-current cycles. Herein, we propose and develop a phosphorus-doped electrode with stabilized electrochemical interface and hierarchical pore structure for cost-effective flow batteries. Density functional theory calculation was first used to demonstrate the stability and activity of phosphorus-doped graphite surface. On basis of theoretical design, the phosphorus-doped graphite felt electrode was fabricated by a facial thermally treating method. Stabilized heteroatom-doped chemical surface with abundant phosphorus-containing functional groups (1.7%) was observed. Beyond that, the hierarchical pore structure from macro (~20 μm) to nanoscale (<200 nm) was formed synchronously, suggesting the enhanced reaction activity, stability and mass transport. In charge-discharge test, flow battery assembled with phosphorus-doped electrodes yielded a prominent energy efficiency of 81% at 200 mA cm −2 , 46% higher than battery with traditional electrodes. Even current densities up to 500 mA cm −2 , battery with phosphorus-doped electrodes still exhibits a workable energy efficiency of 64% while batteries with other electrodes cannot operate properly. Moreover, the superior durability of battery with phosphorus-doped electrodes was verified after 100-cycle charge-discharge test with nearly no-decay energy efficiencies. This work offers a promising way to develop stable and efficient flow batteries for the energy storage systems.

The strategy of constructing catalytic membrane has a significant influence on its structure and performance. In this work, Co 3 O 4 -C x @SiO 2 nanofiber membranes (NFMs) were fabricated by an in-situ growth–pyrolysis–oxidation strategy. The Co 3 O 4 -C x catalyst derived from ZIF-67 was wrapped around nanofibers, which helps to maintain a stable membrane structure, then suppressing the reduction of gas permeability. Among the Co 3 O 4 -C x catalyst, the carbon skeleton can prevent the agglomeration of Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles, obtaining an ultra-fine Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles with high dispersibility, redox property and surface area. The obtained Co 3 O 4 -C 300 @SiO 2 NFM exhibits outstanding ammonia selective catalytic reduction (NH 3 -SCR) denitrification activity (T 90 = 225 °C at a GHSV of 77,000 h −1 ). The effect of catalyst loading on PM 2.5 filtration performance of SiO 2 NFM was also tested. Co 3 O 4 -C 300 @SiO 2 NFM has higher filtration efficiency (99.99%) than SiO 2 NFM at a lower pressure drop of 58 Pa, which suggests that catalyst loading via our method can improve the filtration performance of SiO 2 NFM. This work might provide a universal strategy for the design and preparation of highly efficient catalytic membrane.

MnO2–CoOX catalysts with different Mn/Co ratios were prepared using polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as an assistant to control the morphology and exposed crystal faces of composite oxides. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were systematically characterized and the catalytic activity of NH3-SCR and resistance to SO2/H2O were investigated. It was found that the NO conversion over Mn–Co-0.2-PVP was apparently higher compared with that over Mn–Co-X-PVP (X = 0.9, 0.8, 0.6, and 0.4). This can be interpreted in terms of exposed crystal surface (110) and enhanced adsorption of NH3/NO, and better redox performance resulting from higher Co3+/Co2+ ratio. Furthermore, different PVP and HAc additives have different H2O and SO2 resistance. Mn–Co-0.2-PVP showed good resistance to H2O and SO2 poisoning owing to having more low-temperature (∼200 °C) NO adsorption sites, which are beneficial to promote the de-NOX reaction and less affected by SO2.

Stimulus-sensitive nanoparticles (NPs) have been established to widely adapt to remarkable abnormalities under the tumor microenvironment, which can observably enhance the therapeutic efficiency, improve the specific targeting ability and reduce the side effects. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a promising non-invasive and selective treatment for cancers through photodynamic reaction can profit from stimulus-sensitive NPs. Herein, a harmonious amphiphilic polymer (PEG- b -PTPPDS- b -PEG) with an extremely sensitive redox response is constructed via click chemistry between N 3 -TPPC6-N 3 , PEG-N 3 and alkynyl-containing disulfide ester for PDT. This polymer can be self-assembled into micelles with excellent stability, ultra-fast sensitivity of redox-triggered porphyrin release, and significant photodynamic anticancer performance. The redox-triggered dissociation of micelles and the release of porphyrin are much faster than common porphyrin-containing polymer. The bio-distribution and phototoxicity of micelles against A549 cells are measured and evaluated in vitro by flow cytometry, confocal scanning laser microscopy (CLSM) and MTT assay, respectively. The results reveal that PEG- b -PTPPDS- b -PEG micelles can effectively enhance the cellular uptake and cellular internalization of porphyrin and have an extremely low dark toxicity with efficient PDT towards A549 cells. This intracellular responsive nanoparticle provides a potential strategy for anticancer therapeutic application.

Mackinawite (FeS) nanoparticles have been extensively tested for reducing contaminants under anoxic conditions, while the oxidizing impact induced by FeS under oxic conditions has been largely underestimated. In light of previous findings that hydroxyl radicals (·OH) can be produced from oxygenation of sediment Fe(II), herein we revealed that ·OH can be produced efficiently from FeS oxygenation at circumneutral conditions, yielding 84.7 μmol ·OH per g FeS. Much more ·OH was produced from the oxygenation of FeS compared with siderite, pyrite, and zerovalent iron nanoparticles under the same conditions. The oxidation of FeS was a surface-mediated process, in which O2 was transformed by the structural Fe(II) on FeS surface to ·OH with the generation of H2O2 intermediate. A small proportion of Fe(II) was regenerated from the reduction of Fe(III) by FeS and S(-II), but this proportion did not significantly contribute to ·OH production. We further validated that the ·OH produced from FeS oxygenation considerably contributed to the oxidation of arsenic. As the change of redox conditions from anoxic to oxic is common in both natural and artificial processes, our findings suggest that the oxidizing impact induced by FeS at oxic conditions should be concerned due to ·OH production.

Three kinds of method were employed to prepare Fe loaded activated carbon (Fe-AC), liquid reduction method, carbonthermal method, incipient wetness method, respectively. Before and after adsorption, the adsorption property of Fe-AC had been analysed.
Results indicated that the removal mechanisms were mainly redox reaction, adsorption and precipitation. In addition, the adsorption models fitted with the kinetic model and adsorption isotherm model. Based on the analysis of six influencing factors, we obtain some actual information to deal with the humic acid and the “back to acid”.
