Psoriasis, an immune-mediated disease, commonly utilizes topical drug administration in clinical treatments, yet the thickening of skin presents a challenge to conventional topical drug delivery methods. In this study, we have successfully developed a multifunctional composite ionic liquid (CIL) that enhances the local delivery of melittin (CIL@Mel) by modifying the fluidity of the stratum corneum and the structure of keratin. In addition, CIL@Mel can transport H 2 S to the psoriatic microenvironment, effectively regulating the redox imbalance within it. The in vivo experimental results demonstrated that CIL@Mel effectively mitigates the progression of psoriasis, provides relief from oxidative stress, reduces the production of inflammatory factors, and promotes the repolarization of macrophages. Computational simulations and experimental validation revealed that CIL@Mel exerts its effects by inhibiting the expression of EGFR, STAT3, IL-6, SRC, and HSP90AA1. In conclusion, this study unveils the transdermal promotion mechanism of CIL@Mel and validates its efficacy in psoriasis.

H2S is produced mainly by two enzymes:cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE), using L-cysteine (L-Cys) as the substrate. In this study, we investigated the role of H2S in gastric accommodation using CBS(+/-) mice, immunohistochemistry, immunoblot, methylene blue assay, intragastric pressure (IGP) recording and electrical field stimulation (EFS). Mouse gastric fundus expressed H2S-generating enzymes (CBS and CSE) and generated detectable amounts of H2S. The H2S donor, NaHS or L-Cys, caused a relaxation in either gastric fundus or body. The gastric compliance was significantly increased in the presence of L-Cys (1 mM). On the contrary, AOAA, an inhibitor for CBS, largely inhibited gastric compliance. Consistently, CBS(+/-) mice shows a lower gastric compliance. However, PAG, a CSE inhibitor, had no effect on gastric compliances. L-Cys enhances the non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic (NANC) relaxation of fundus strips, but AOAA reduces the magnitude of relaxations to EFS. Notably, the expression level of CBS but not CSE protein was elevated after feeding. Consistently, the production of H2S was also increased after feeding in mice gastric fundus. In addition, AOAA largely reduced food intake and body weight in mice. Furthermore, a metabolic aberration of H2S was found in patients with functional dyspepsia (FD). In conclusion, endogenous H2S, a novel gasotransmitter, involves in gastric accommodation.

In this study, non-thermal plasma (NTP) was employed to modify the Cu/TiO 2 adsorbent to efficiently purify H 2 S in low-temperature and micro-oxygen environments. The effects of Cu loading amounts and atmospheres of NTP treatment on the adsorption-oxidation performance of the adsorbents were investigated. The NTP modification successfully boosted the H 2 S removal capacity to varying degrees, and the optimized adsorbent treated by air plasma (Cu/TiO 2 -Air) attained the best H 2 S breakthrough capacity of 113.29 mg H 2 S/g adsorbent , which was almost 5 times higher than that of the adsorbent without NTP modification. Further studies demonstrated that the superior performance of Cu/TiO 2 -Air was attributed to increased mesoporous volume, more exposure of active sites (CuO) and functional groups (amino groups and hydroxyl groups), enhanced Ti-O-Cu interaction, and the favorable ratio of active oxygen species. Additionally, the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results indicated the main reason for the deactivation was the consumption of the active components (CuO) and the agglomeration of reaction products (CuS and SO 4 2− ) occupying the active sites on the surface and the inner pores of the adsorbents.

The abundant Fe 3+ Lewis acidic sites and well-developed pore structure endow the Fe-MOFs with great potential for H 2 S catalytic oxidation at room temperature, but their performance is inferior owing to the insufficient redox ability of the Fe 3+ species inherent in frameworks. Herein, an effective protocol was proposed for the first time to remarkably improve the catalytic oxidation performance of MIL-100(Fe) under ambient conditions through the introduction of Fe 2+ coordinatively unsaturated site (CUS) species into the framework. As expected, the sample after modification had a superior H 2 S breakthrough capacity of 267.3 mg S/g, an 18.4-fold increase compared with that without Fe 2+ CUS (14.5 mg S/g). The introduced Fe 2+ species triggered the Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ redox cycle for H 2 S catalytic oxidation by enhancing the oxidative ability of the Fe 3+ CUS intrinsic to the framework. Moreover, the Fe 2+ CUS was also found act as an active site for O 2 activation into O 2 ∙– , which not only provides an additional pathway for H 2 S catalytic oxidation but also accelerates the redox cycling of Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ during the catalytic oxidation process. On the basis of the experimental findings, a plausible catalytic mechanism involving mixed-valence iron sites in MIL-100(Fe) was proposed.

To improve their low-temperature desulfurization performance, the activated carbon-based materials have typically been modified by either metal oxide loading or nitrogen doping. However, most of the aforementioned materials are limited to only one of the above modification methods, resulting in relatively poor desulfurization performance. Herein, a novel MgFe 2 O 4 -loaded N -doped biochar (MgFe 2 O 4 @NBC) was fabricated by one-pot pyrolysis of a nitrogen containing precursor of g-C 3 N 4 , cooked rice waste, and metal salts for efficient low-temperature desulfurization of H 2 S. Different fabrication conditions such as pyrolysis temperature and the nitrogen mixing ratio (i.e., the mass ratio of cooked rice waste to g-C 3 N 4 ) have been extensively studied. The optimized MgFe 2 O 4 @NBC-500–2 sample delivered a superior breakthrough capacity of 1052.83 mg/g in an atmosphere of O 2 content of 20% and relative humidity of 80% at 25 °C, and demonstrated high tolerance and stability of desulfurization performance to harsh environmental conditions with 80% relative humidity and no oxygen. The desulfurization mechanism of H 2 S on the surfaces of the MgFe 2 O 4 @NBC composites was attributed to the synergistic effects of reactive adsorption and catalytic oxidation process. The composite also demonstrated excellent reusability, retaining 85% of the initial breakthrough capacity after 5 recycled uses. Therefore, the as-prepared MgFe 2 O 4 @NBC composite offers a potentially promising carbon-based desulfurizers for practical applications in the low-temperature desulfurization field.

CO 2 and H 2 S are considered impurities in natural gas that moderate the pace of environmental health. Developing highly efficient and cost-effective absorbents is of significance for sweetening natural gas. Herein, four superbase protic ionic liquids (SPILs) were prepared in this study. Typical physical properties (density, viscosity, and decomposition temperature) were also examined at ambient pressure. These SPILs show low viscosity values at ranging from 5.1 cP to 18.3 cP at 313.2 K. The solubility of H 2 S (0–1.0 bar), CO 2 (0–1.0 bar), and CH 4 (0–5.0 bar) was systematically measured at temperatures in the range of 298.2 K to 333.2 K. Impressively, the absolute solubility of H 2 S under 0.1 bar was found to be located at 4.31–5.15 mol/kg at 313.2 K, which is the highest value obtained among the reported results in the literature. The ideal selectivity of H 2 S/CH 4 and CO 2 /CH 4 (H 2 S or CO 2 solubility at 0.1 bar vs CH 4 solubility at 1 bar) at 313.2 K are in the ranges of 367–653 and 92.4–240, respectively. The interaction mechanism we explored was characterized by NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. Thermodynamic parameters, such as enthalpy, Gibbs free energy, and entropy of dissolution were calculated from the temperature dependent solubility using the “deactivated model”. These SPILs are promising alternative candidates for the simultaneous removal of H 2 S and CO 2 in natural gas upgrading.

H 2 S gas sensors with facile preparation, low detection limits, and high selectivity are crucial for environmental and human health monitoring. However, it is difficult to maintain a high response of H 2 S gas sensors under high humidity in practical applications. To face this dilemma, a layer-by-layer growth method is applied to in situ prepare a nanostructured Co(CO 3 ) 0.5 (OH)·0.11H 2 O/WO 3 coated by a hydrophobic hierarchical ZIF-67 as the H 2 S sensor. This novel composite exhibits excellent humidity immunity without sacrificing the excellent sensitivity and selectivity of H 2 S. At a low operating temperature of 90 °C, a remarkable response value of 1052.3 to 100 ppm H 2 S has been achieved, which is 779 and 9.36 times higher than that of pure WO 3 and Co(CO 3 ) 0.5 (OH)·0.11H 2 O/WO 3 , respectively. More importantly, an 82.2% relative response value remains at a high humidity of 75%RH. The sensing mechanisms are investigated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), which revealed that the reaction products are H 2 O and SO 2 . The high humidity immunity and fast response of the Co(CO 3 ) 0.5 (OH)·0.11H 2 O@ZIF-67/WO 3 demonstrate the layer-by-layer in situ synthesis method holds the potential application for the development of high-performance WO 3 -based H 2 S sensors.

This study employed a wet impregnation method to synthesize five types of Cu/HZSM-5 adsorbents with Si/Al ratios of 25, 50, 85, 200, and 300, used for the removal of H 2 S in low-temperature, low-oxygen environments. The impact of different Si/Al ratios on the adsorption oxidative performance of Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 adsorbents was investigated. According to the performance test results, Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 exhibited the highest breakthrough capacity, reaching 231.75 mg H 2 S/g sorbent . Cu/HZSM-5 sorbent maintains a strong ability to remove H 2 S even under humid conditions and shows excellent water resistance. XRD , BET, and XPS results revealed that CuO is the primary active species, with Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 having the largest surface area and highest CuO content, providing more active sites for H 2 S adsorption. H 2 -TPR and O 2 -TPD results confirmed that Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 sorbent exhibits outstanding redox properties and oxygen storage capacity, contributing to excellent oxygen transferability in the molecular sieve adsorption-oxidation process. With notable characteristics such as a large surface area, high desulfurization efficiency, and water resistance, Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 sorbents hold significant importance for industrial applications.

Rationally regulating the photogenerated carrier transfer behavior and band structure of TiO2 through metal doping is an effective strategy for enhancing the photocatalytic activity in the removal of malodorous gas hydrogen sulfide (H2S). In this study, TiO2 modified with the doping of Group IIIA metal ions (Al3+, Ga3+, and In3+) was utilized as an efficient photocatalytic desulfurizer under ultraviolet irradiation. Among these samples, the 4% In-TiO2 exhibited the best photocatalytic H2S removal efficiency of 100% for a duration of 120 min, nearly 3 times higher than that of commercial P25 TiO2. The UV–vis DRS and PL spectra demonstrated that the incorporation of Group-IIIA metal ions into TiO2 resulted in the formation of a shallow acceptor level above the valence band in the energy band structure, which induced a slight redshift at the edge of the visible light absorption band and reduced the electron–hole recombination rate. In situ DRIFTS and DFT calculations revealed that the adsorption and activation of H2S occurred simultaneously on In-TiO2, facilitated by its strong oxygen vacancy formation and adsorption capability. The ln3+ doping into TiO2 promoted photothermal-catalytic oxidation reaction on the surfaces of In-TiO2, thereby significantly enhancing the desulfurization efficiency of H2S. This study not only offers a deeper understanding of the regulated band structure of TiO2 by doping of Group IIIA metal ions, but also provides a promising and green photocatalytic desulfurizer of In-TiO2 for efficient removal of H2S.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an extremely noxious impurity generated from industrial processes, but conventional absorption devices applied to remove H2S are often constrained by low mass transfer coefficients and large equipment volume. To overcome these limitations, we propose a novel high-jet oscillating purifier (HOP) and systematically investigate the key operational parameters that influence desulfurization performance when HOP is combined with a methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) solution. Experimental results demonstrated that H2S removal efficiency and mass transfer coefficients increased with absorption flow rate (0.06–0.12 m3/h), methyl diethanolamine concentration (0.8–3.2 wt %), and inlet H2S concentration (20–160 mg/m3), but decreased with methyl diethanolamine solution temperature (25–85 °C). Intriguingly, inlet gas flow rates (5 and 17 m3/h) improved removal efficiency but reduced mass transfer coefficients. Radial injection (α = 0°) of absorption liquid achieved optimal performance, yielding peak efficiency at 98.7%, surpassing nonradial injection (α = ±45°) by 12.3–15.8%. The mass transfer coefficients (KGa) at 0.0715 kmol·m–3·kPa–1·s–1, are about ten times higher than conventional devices. Semiempiric equation (R2 = 0.99, p < 0.001) was derived to predict KGa across operational conditions. The industrial application indicated that HOP achieved an average removal efficiency higher than 95.1% with only 1/8 of the device volume compared to conventional scrubbers. The study indicates that HOP combined with MDEA solution has great potential for application in removing H2S for industrial plants.

Developing environmental benign and efficient solvents for the natural gas sweetening is of great significance to the development of green chemistry. However, there is no task-specific deep eutectic solvents (DESs) for H 2 S absorption so far. Herein, we have for the first time developed a series of task-specific DESs for the selective separation of H 2 S, in which quaternary ammonium salts with free tertiary amine groups are designed as hydrogen bond acceptors (HBAs) and azoles as hydrogen bond donors (HBDs). Density, viscosity, and thermal decomposition temperature, as well as the solubility of H 2 S (0–1.0 bar), CO 2 (0–1.0 bar), and CH 4 (0–5.0 bar) were systematically determined. NMR paired with theoretical calculations are applied to characterize the interaction mechanism of H 2 S and DESs. A reaction equilibrium thermodynamic model (RETM) with a 1:2 stoichiometric reaction mechanism was screened to correlate H 2 S solubility data. It is found that [C 4 -TMHDA][Cl]-Im could achieve up to 0.996 mol H 2 S per mol DES at 303.2 K and 1.0 bar. Moreover, the captured H 2 S can be easily stripped out at elevated temperature and reduced pressure, with negligible loss in H 2 S capacities during four absorption–desorption cycles. The results obtained in this work indicate that these DESs are promising candidates for efficient and selective separation of H 2 S and CO 2 from natural gas. This work provides novel insights into the future design of high-performance task-specific DESs for the capture of H 2 S.

Cu–1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate (Cu–BTC) exhibited potential for hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) removal, however, its sulfur capacity is limited due to it relies only on the adsorption reaction path. Herein, a series of Fe-doped Cu–BTC materials (denoted as x Fe–Cu–BTC) were synthesized to enhance H 2 S removal capacity via a adsorption–oxidation bifunctional synergism mechanism. The prepared materials were characterized using various techniques, and their H 2 S removal performance was measured under dry and ambient conditions. The experimental results demonstrated that the 18%Fe–Cu–BTC shown the optimal breakthrough sulfur capacity of 122.8 mg S/g, marking a 2.1-fold and 10.3-fold improvement over pure Cu–BTC and Fe–BTC, respectively. The characterization analyses revealed that the Cu 2+ active sites initially react with H 2 S to form CuS, while the incorporated Fe 3+ sites trigger the oxidation of CuS, yielding elemental sulfur, Cu 2+ and Fe 2+ . The resultant Cu 2+ and Fe 2+ further engage in reactions with H 2 S to form CuS and FeS, thereby enhancing the H 2 S removal capacity via dual reaction pathways of adsorption and oxidation. Additionally, appropriate Fe doping increased the specific surface area and pore volume of Cu–BTC, which exposed more active sites and improved molecular diffusion. Based on the obtained findings, a plausible desulfurization mechanism involving adsorption and oxidation synergism for remove H 2 S was proposed.
