The following study is conducted to improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy. First, ZnAl layered double hydroxide (ZnAl LDH) film was prepared on AZ61 magnesium alloy by using hydrothermal method. Then, as-prepared ZnAl LDH was put into 2-methylimidazole (2-mIm) solution to synthetize ZIF-8 film (ZIF-8/LDH). Finally, ZIF-8/LDH film synthesized ZIF-8-DMBIM film (ZIF-8-DMBIM/LDHs) via a shell-ligand-exchange-reaction in the methanol solution containing 5, 6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMBIM). The surface morphology, structure, and composition of the composite film were observed and determined by scanning electronic microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The wettability of composite film was measured by using a water contact angle meter, and the corrosion resistance of the composite film was estimated by the polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. Results show that the prepared ZIF-8-DMBIM/LDH composite film has a dense hexagonal plate morphology with a two-layer structure and a thickness of 3.5 μm. Compared with ZnAl LDH and ZIF-8/LDH films, ZIF-8-DMBIM/LDH composite film has a high contact angle (115.7°), low corrosion current density, and high corrosion potential and polarization resistance due to its near-smooth surface, dense two-layer structure, and hydrophobic characters.

Petaloid-shapedZnO grafted with 4,5-imidazoledicarboxylic acid was proposed as a composite to entrap Hemoglobin molecules through the synergistic effect of covalent bonding and adjacent complexation between the hetero-atoms of the imidazolyl ring andtheheme sites in Hemoglobin. The morphology, structuralfeatures, and physiochemical properties ofthecomposite with Hemoglobin anchoring were investigated by photography, spectroscopy, and electrochemicalmethods, as well as the mechanism of charge shuttle of the heme protein into the composite and the dynamics of enzymaticcatalysis. Experimental results revealed that intricate interactions between components of the complex and the integrated Hemoglobin molecules alter the mechanism of charge shuttle between cofactors in the enzyme and the conductive matrix with partial heme sites in coordination with the imidazolyl ring as an intra-molecular electron relay. Such interactions arealso responsible for theprocess of substrate binding for the cofactors in the redox protein. The rapid kinetics of heterogeneous charge convection is found to be 89.0 s -1 with a unique pattern of two electrons per proton. This interactions would also lead to a lower affinity to hydrogen peroxide (893.0 μM), a high detection limit (0.9 mM), inferior sensitivity (4.5×10 -5 A•L•mol-1) and moderate kinetics of substrate attachment and transformation (1.9×10 6 and 29.8 s -1 ).

Dealuminization over aluminium-containing ZSM-5 could create silanol nests and improve catalytic activity for alkylation of toluene with methanol. However, obviously damaged microporous structure seriously accelerated catalyst deactivation. Here, we demonstrate highly stable alkylation on ZSM-5 by deboronation treatment over boron-containing ZSM-5. 11 B MAS NMR, 1 H MAS NMR and OH-IR suggested that silanol nests with hydrogen bonds were created at the expenses of the removal of skeleton-B atoms. The formed silanol nests promote the adsorption of toluene, inhibit the methanol self-reaction and corresponding the deep alkylation process. Therefore, alkylation efficiency and toluene conversion could reach 70.8% and 33.5%, respectively. Importantly, the microporous structure of deboronized ZSM-5 was well maintained during deboronation, which determined a greatly improved catalytic stability compared with that of traditional dealuminized ZSM-5. Moreover, the deboronized ZSM-5 still presented relatively good catalytic stability under a higher methanol feedstock although the coke deposition was accelerated.

In this article, the photocatalytic polymerization of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was applied in the preparation of photo-generated humins (L-H) for the first time. The molecular weight and furan ring content of L-H would be increased by introducing HMF into low-molecular-weight humins (LMW-H) extracted from spoiled HMF under visible light. Compared with humins prepared by the thermal-acid method (A-H), the molecular weight of L-H was less than 800 g/mol; therefore, L-H exhibited great solubility in various solvents and high chemical reactivity for structure modification. Also, the structure units had great differences between L-H and A-H. A-H only consisted of 2,5-dioxo-6-hydroxyhexanal (DHH) and HMF, while L-H also included the 5-hydroxy-4-keto-pentenoic acid (HKPA) generated by reacting HMF with singlet-oxygen. Then, the furan-based polymers were obtained through the classic Diels–Alder (DA) reaction to realize resource utilization of L-H. HKPA units in L-H provided more reaction sites for DA reaction. Characterizations by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum, microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and tensile properties proved that the polymer DA-L-H containing D–A bonds had self-healing properties, and the recovery efficiency could reach 92.8%. Through the utilization of biomass waste humins, the recycling of resources and sustainable economic development could be realized.

The complexes of epigallocatechin (EGC) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) were respectively constructed in water-soluble and ethanol-soluble systems to study the reducing effect of EGC on harmful substance 5-HMF in food. The results showed that EGC and 5-HMF can be combined by non-covalent way in water-soluble and ethanol-soluble systems, and the main force were hydrogen bond. Scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer and differential scanning calorimeter displayed that EGC combined with 5-HMF in the form of co-amorphous complexes. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1 H-NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulation confirmed that EGC can form O–H⋯O hydrogen bonds with adjacent 5-HMF molecules. Thin-layer chromatography and in vitro digestive juice assay further proved that no free 5-HMF were observed after EGC and 5-HMF formed complexes. The results indicated that EGC and 5-HMF can form an EGC-5-HMF co-amorphous complexes through intermolecular hydrogen bonding, thereby changing the stability of free 5-HMF. EGC has favorable potential for the control of 5-HMF in food.

Purpose To evaluate the effect of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) combined with rutaecarpine (RUT) on the antiproliferative, anti-migratory, and apoptosis-promoting ability of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and explore the underlying mechanism.Methods The antiproliferative effects of RUT and 5-FU on CRC cells were evaluated using MTT and colony formation assays. Anti-migration was assessed by cell scratch and transwell tests. The synergistic effect of RUT and 5-FU was assessed by isobologram and combination index analysis using CompuSyn software. The effects of RUT and 5-FU on cell apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. Differences in protein expression levels with or without RUT and/or 5-FU treatment were assessed by Western blot. Moreover, a mouse xenograft model of CRC was established to investigate the antitumor effect of RUT and 5-FU in vivo, and Ki67 and cleaved caspase-3 expression was detected by immunofluorescence.Results In this study, we found that 5-FU combined with RUT can inhibit the proliferative, migratory, and antiapoptotic abilities of CRC cells to a significantly greater extent than either RUT or 5-FU alone both in vivo and in vitro. Western blot analysis showed that the level of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) phosphorylation in CRC cells was significantly reduced after combination therapy compared with that seen with the respective monotherapies. In addition, combination therapy influenced the STAT3 signaling pathway, namely, it inhibited the expression of c-Myc, CDK4, and Bcl-2 while enhancing that of the proapoptotic protein cleaved caspase-3. Immunofluorescence staining further showed that the expression of Ki67 and cleaved caspase-3 was significantly downregulated and upregulated, respectively, in tumor tissues of mice treated with combination therapy compared with that observed with 5-FU treatment alone.Conclusion Combined therapy with 5-FU and RUT exerted a superior curative effect in CRC than treatment with either single drug alone and has potential as a novel therapeutic modality for the treatment of CRC.

Co-based catalysts are promising alternatives to precious metals for the selective and effective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to the higher value-added 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). However, these catalysts still suffer from unsatisfactory activity and poor selectivity. A series of N-doped carbon-supported Co-based dual-metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been designed, among which the Co-Cu 1.4 -CN x exhibits enhanced HMF oxidative activity, achieving FDCA formation rates 4 times higher than that of pristine Co-CN x , with 100% FDCA selectivity. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations evidenced that the increased electron density on Co sites induced by Cu can mediate the positive electronegativity offset to downshift the d-band center of Co-Cu 1.4 -CN x , thus reducing the energy barriers for the conversion of HMF to FDCA. Such findings will support the development of superior non-precious metal catalysts for HMF oxidation.

Textile dye wastewater has the characteristics of high concentration, complex composition and changeable color degree and pH, which is difficult to be effectively and completely treated, and easy to cause environmental pollution. Here, a strategy of secondary bond interface assembly of polyethyleneimine on zein microparticles (PEI) ( [email protected] ) was constructed to achieve rapid and efficient removal of Reactive Black 5 (RB5), which is one of the most widely used reactive dyes in the textile industry. Structural analysis indicated that the as-prepared PEI layer immobilized on zein microparticles was constructed based on the interface assembly dominated by hydrophobic interactions and electrostatic attraction between PEI molecules and zein chains. The novel interface showed excellent absorption performance for RB5 with an absorption capacity of 631.0 mg·g -1 , rapid adsorption in 2 min, wide pH range of 4–10. Mechanism analysis suggested the effective adsorption of RB5 by [email protected] microparticles was mainly attributed to secondary bond interface such as electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bond between RB5 and PEI immobilized on the surface of zein microparticles. Moreover, due to the presence of secondary bond interface, RB5 adsorbed on microparticles can be easily desorbed by using 0.01 M NaOH. Therefore, the strategy of secondary bond interface assembly with polyethyleneimine on zein microparticles has high potential for practical application in the treatment of dye-containing wastewater.

Herein, through knitting benzylated β-cyclodextrin (BnCD) by dimethoxypillar[5]arene (P[5]), porous copolymers (P[5]-BnCDs) containing two kinds of macrocycles were synthesized with yields not <97 %. The molar ratio of P[5]/BnCD greatly influenced the P[5]-BnCDs' porosity and adsorption performance. When the molar ratio of P[5]/BnCD was 4/1, the P[5]-BnCD (4-1), demonstrated a surface area up to 515.95 m 2 /g and showed fast adsorption kinetic , high adsorption capacity and good reusability towards the model organic micropollutants (OMPs). The adsorption fitted well with the pseudo-second-order and the Langmuir models, while the thermodynamic studies revealed spontaneous physisorption process. The adsorption mechanism was dominant by host-guest and hydrophobic interactions and the adsorption at environmentally relevant concentrations experiments showed the practicality and superiority in extraction of the OMPs at μg/L level. This study paves a way for the development of versatile porous organic polymers with multiple macrocycles for efficient removal of OMPs from water.

The tribological and anti-corrosion performances of four as-synthesized 5-phenyltetrazole ionic liquid (PTIL) lubricant additives for water were investigated. Research results suggested that an addition 3% of PTIL lubricant additive could greatly improve the tribological properties of water. Notably, the friction coefficient was reduced by about 80% and the wear volume by about 94% for the addition of 3% of tetrabutylphosphonium 5-phenyltetrazol-2-ide (PTP 4444 ) in water. Further tested by CA, QCM, EDS , SEM and XPS showed that the exceptional tribological performances presented by PTILs were mainly due to the physical and chemical tribofilms generated during the rubbing procedure. Moreover, the synergistic effect of N-P elements also played a key role in the good tribological performances of PTP 4444 .

The traditional treatment processes for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) removal generally suffered several disadvantages, such as secondary air-pollutants. To overcome these issues, wet scrubber coupled with heterogeneous UV/Fenton was developed for gaseous VOCs (i.e. toluene) removal. ZSM-5 supported iron oxide (Fe/ZSM-5) was prepared as a multifunctional catalyst for activation of H 2 O 2 and enhancement of gas-liquid mass transfer. Toluene was removed efficiently by this coupled process with the removal efficiency of 85% during 120 min. Many intermediates were detected in the solution by GC-MS while no intermediates were observed in the outlet gas, suggesting that wet scrubber coupled with heterogeneous UV/Fenton could significantly reduce secondary air pollutants . The possible mechanism of toluene oxidation was proposed including the physical adsorption by Fe/ZSM-5 and OH oxidation. This study provides an environmentally benign and highly efficient chemical scrubbing process for gaseous VOCs removal.

In the presented work, a series of Cr/β zeolites were prepared and used as bifunctional catalysts with Brønsted and Lewis acidity in the conversion of biomass-derived carbohydrates to 5‑hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). The physicochemical properties of all catalysts were characterized by ICP-AES, N 2 physisorption , solid-state 27 Al NMR, XRD, SEM-EDX, UV–Vis, XPS , Raman, NH 3 -TPD and Py-FTIR techniques. It was found that the catalysts with appropriate total acidity, ratio of Lewis to Brønsted acid sites and acid density appear to be beneficial for HMF formation. Under mild reaction conditions, a superior 72% HMF yield with 83% selectivity was achieved from glucose in the H 2 O/THF biphasic system by using the 0.4-Cr/β zeolite catalyst. Moreover, the results of the stability evaluation showed that the catalytic activity of the 0.4-Cr/β zeolite was not significantly lost after four consecutive cycles, and the framework remained intact. Therefore, the catalytic approach proposed in this study is believed to provide potential prospects for the production of HMF from biomass material refining in the future.
