A series of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was prepared in situ with different cucurbit[n]urils (CB[n]s) in an alkaline aqueous solution. The nanoparticle sizes can be well controlled by CB[n]s (n=5,6,7,8) with different ring sizes. The packing densities of CB[5–8] and free surface area on AuNPs were determined. A direct relationship was found between the ring size and packing density of CB[n]s with respect to the AuNP-catalyzed reduction of 4-nitrophenol in the presence of NaBH4. The larger particle size and higher surface coverage of bigger CB[n]-capped AuNPs significantly decreased the catalytic activity. Furthermore, this work could lead to new applications that utilize AuNPs under an overlayer of CB[n]s for catalysis, sensing, and drug delivery.Keywords:gold nanoparticles;cucurbit[n]urils;controllable synthesis;catalysis

Furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural are prominent biomass-derived aldehydes, offering substantial potential for sustainable fuel production. The electrochemical dimerization of these bio-derived aldehydes is investigated in this study as a novel and mild approach to carbon-chain elongation (>C6), leading to the formation of viable precursors for aviation kerosene. Compared with conventional electrochemical hydrogenation, this approach directly promotes C–C coupling without additional reagents or harsh conditions. Systematic investigations of electrode materials, applied potentials, and electrolysis duration enabled precise control over product selectivity. Notably, a Pb/CF electrode demonstrated superior catalytic performance, achieving 77.7 % selectivity for hydrofuroin from furfural and 89.8 % for 5,5′-bis(hydroxymethyl) hydrofuroin from HMF. Mechanistic analyses revealed that moderate hydrogen adsorption capacity on electrode surfaces enhances aldehyde coupling and suppresses competing hydrogenation pathways. Consequently, this mild electrochemical route offers clear advantages over thermochemical upgrading, including operational simplicity, environmental compatibility, and integration with renewable energy sources. These findings not only underscore the feasibility of electrochemical dimerization for biomass upgrading but also establish a robust basis for developing sustainable aviation fuels.

Electrocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMFOR) offers an energy-efficient route to high value-added chemicals. There is an urgent demand for high-performance non-precious metal catalysts. Herein, the oxygen-deficient FeO/NiO/Ni was synthesized, which has high performance for HMFOR with a conversion rate of 100%, a selectivity of 98.6% for 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), and a Faradaic efficiency of 94.1% at 1.5 V (vs. RHE), superior to most reported non-precious metal catalysts. The efficient catalytic activity of FeO/NiO/Ni is attributed to the high specific surface area and enhanced adsorption and activation of HMF by oxygen vacancies, thereby reducing the rate-limiting step energy barrier of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid to 5-formyl-furancarboxylic acid (*HMFCA→*FFCA). Ni 3+ acts as the active site for direct HMF oxidation catalysis, while Fe doping induces oxygen vacancies that facilitate the formation and stabilization of Ni 3+ species, enhancing their formation and catalytic functionality.

Pillar[5]arene complexes of the naturally occurring compound bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) were acquired for improving the water solubility and stability of BDMC. As a family member of curcuminoid compounds, BDMC has many interesting therapeutic properties. However, its low aqueous solubility and stability resulted in poor availability and restricted the clinical efficacy. Pillar[5]arenes with hydrophilic ends and a hydrophobic cavity could include with BDMC based on size matching. The synthesized hydrazide-pillar[5]arene (HP5A) and BDMC had a strong host–guest interaction with a 1:1 binding stoichiometry. Furthermore, the HP5A ⊃ BDMC complex could self-assemble into well-defined fibers in water/ethanol solution. This supramolecular complex worked well in vitro for inhibiting the proliferation of hepatoma carcinoma cells HepG2. Remarkably, this method of complexation with pillar[5]arenes visibly reduced the undesirable side effects on normal cells without weakening the anti-cancer activity of the drugs. We expected that the obtained host–guest complex and fibrous assembly would provide a promising platform for delivering drugs with low water solubility.

Background: Keloid is a skin fibroproliferative disease with unknown pathogenesis. Metabolomics provides a new perspective for revealing biomarkers related to metabolites and their metabolic mechanisms.Method: Metabolomics and transcriptomics were used for data analysis. Quality control of the data was performed to standardize the data. Principal component analysis (PCA), PLS-DA, OPLS-DA, univariate analysis, CIBERSORT, neural network model, and machine learning correlation analysis were used to calculate differential metabolites. The molecular mechanisms of characteristic metabolites and differentially expressed genes were identified through enrichment analysis and topological analysis.Result: Compared with normal tissue, lipids have a tendency to decrease in keloids, while peptides have a tendency to increase in keloids. Significantly different metabolites between the two groups were identified by random forest analysis, including 1-methylnicotinamide, 4-hydroxyproline, 5-hydroxylysine, and l-prolinamide. The metabolic pathways which play important roles in the pathogenesis of keloids included arachidonic acid metabolism and d-arginine and d-ornithine metabolism. Metabolomic profiling reveals that 5-hydroxylysine and 1-methylnicotinamide are metabolic indicators of keloid severity. The high-risk early warning index for 5-hydroxylysine is 4 × 108-6.3×108 (p = 0.0008), and the high-risk predictive index for 1-methylnicotinamide is 0.95 × 107-1.6×107 (p = 0.0022).Conclusion: This study was the first to reveal the metabolome profile and transcriptome of keloids. Differential metabolites and metabolic pathways were calculated by machine learning. Metabolomic profiling reveals that 5-hydroxylysine and 1-methylnicotinamide may be metabolic indicators of keloid severity.

Rapid deactivation by coke deposition is the main obstacle of ethane aromatization over Zn/ZSM-5. In this work, using the prepared nanosized Zn/HZSM-5, an almost threefold product yield and significantly improved stability were achieved in comparison with those of the microsized catalyst. XRD and XPS analyses indicated that a higher percentage of reactive [ZnOZn]2+ species was maintained during ethane aromatization over nano-Zn/HZSM-5 than micro-Zn/HZSM-5. In addition, the evolution of carbon deposits over nanosized and microsized Zn/ZSM-5 was investigated during prolonged ethane aromatization reaction using Raman spectroscopy and thermogravimetry measurements. Compared to the microsized catalyst, the nanosized zeolite facilitated the faster escape of light aromatics and the precursors of carbon deposits from the zeolite pores, thus suppressing the accumulation of coke deposits and improving the catalyst stability. Based on the nanosized Zn/HZSM-5, a protocol of isothermal reaction followed by regeneration was developed by periodically removing carbonaceous deposits, and an ∼25–35% product yield was achieved after 10 reaction–regeneration cycles.

We report here that L-rhamnose, a less popular renewable and commercially available carbohydrate, can be used as a potential raw material to generate 5-methylfurfural (MF). In particular, nearly 100% yield of MF was achieved over 7 consecutive cycles in NaCl solution containing AlCl3 within 30 min, thus providing an alternative and industrializable way for the production of the potential bio-platform compound MF.

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a crucial biobased compound for synthesizing chemicals and biofuels, but the direct conversion of glucose to HMF suffers low yield and purification problems. In this paper, a cheap and efficient deep eutectic solvent (DES) of choline chloride–chromium chloride (ChCl–CrCl3·6H2O) was developed to convert glucose and other carbohydrates to HMF. High HMF yields of 70.2, 78.6, 72.6, and 71.7% were achieved from glucose, fructose, high fructose corn syrup, and sucrose, respectively. The DES ChCl–CrCl3·6H2O could be reused nine times without a significant loss of catalytic activity. In addition, a method was developed to regenerate humins-polluted DES. Combined with ultraviolet and visible spectrum data and density functional theory calculation, [Cr(H2O)2Cl3Ch]+ was identified as the active species in DES ChCl–CrCl3·6H2O. This paper proposed a new effective system to convert carbohydrates to HMF. The discovery of active species provides a base for future studies on dehydration mechanisms.

Ru/Co 3 O 4 catalyst prepared by a simple coprecipitation method, was used to catalyze the conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) for the first time and exhibited excellent catalytic performance. 93.4% yield of DMF was achieved at relatively low reaction temperature and H 2 pressure (130 °C, 0.7 MPa). Further studies showed that Ru is responsible for hydrogenation, while CoO x species played important role in the hydrogenolysis of hydroxyl groups. Besides, this catalyst also displayed a good reusability and can be used for 5 times without loss of the activity.

The hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to biofuel 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) serves as a vital reaction in biomass refineries. Herein, Pd-UiO-66 catalysts with controlled contents of ligand-vacancies were developed for the HMF-to-DMF conversion. Strikingly, a volcano-like relationship between defect level and HDO activity was obtained. The DMF yield was promoted ∼3 times, reaching 92.2 % at 160 °C and 15 bar H 2 , which refers to a high-level turnover frequency value of 42.66 h −1 among the reported candidates. The Pd-UiO-66 catalysts also afforded >80 % yield for the HDO of 5-methyl furfural, furfural, and vanillin. Besides, high HDO activity could be retained in five recycles. Manipulating the contents of ligand-vacancies was confirmed to create more Pd 0 species and Bronsted acid sites, leading to remarkable performance. This work provides significant inspiration for tuning structural defects in MOFs to realize the efficient HDO of platform molecules in biomass valorization.
