In this study, we proposed in situ controlled preparation of 3D flower-like Ti 3 C 2 T x microspheres (FMXMSs) by water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion-assisted assembly. Polyethyleneimine (PEI), as a large molecule, can effectively stabilize the emulsion system. Ethylenediamine (EDA), as a weak cross-link agent, contains rich amino groups, which can effectively induce the assembly of Ti 3 C 2 T x in spherical droplets and eventually form 3D flower-like Ti 3 C 2 T x microspheres. By adjusting the water-oil volume ratio, the size of micro-emulsion droplets can be controlled, thus the structure and size of microspheres can finally be controlled. The structure has a large specific surface area (108.31 m 2 g -1 ) which can provide an effective ion diffusion pathway. As the supercapacitors electrode, the specific capacitance of FMXMSs is up to 224.57 F g -1 at 5 mV s -1 and 193.67 F g -1 at 0.5 A g -1 . Moreover, they also show good long-term cyclic stability. After 5000 cycles, the specific capacitance does not decay. The results indicate that W/O emulsion-assisted assembly is feasible for preparing MXenes microspheres with high electrochemical performance.

Paeoniflorin-6′-O-benzene sulfonate (CP-25) is a novel ester derivative of paeoniflorin, which has been shown to have synergistic pharmacodynamic effects with leflunomide (LEF). To determine the effects of CP-25 on the pharmacokinetics of LEF in rats, we developed a ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS)-based method for the determination of levels of teriflunomide (TER, an active metabolite of LEF). This method was used to determine TER concentrations in the plasma, urine, faeces and bile; heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, intestinal, brain and synovial tissues; and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of rats in the control (LEF [10 mg/kg]) and combined (CP-25 [50 mg/kg × 7d] plus LEF [10 mg/kg]) groups. TER area under the curve [AUC], T max , mean residence time (MRT), t 1/2α and t 1/2β were significantly lower, and clearance (CL) was significantly higher in the combined group than in the control group. Oral CP-25 administration in combination with LEF was found to promote TER excretion in urine, faeces and bile and to reduce its contents in most tissues and organs, especially in the liver, which may reduce LEF-induced liver injury. CP-25 also increased TER exposure in the synovium and its absorption by PBMCs, and this could explain the synergistic effects of CP-25 and LEF.

Developing low-cost and visible-light-driven metal oxide and sulfide-based photocatalysts for the degradation of organic dyes has been a major area of research to mitigate environmental pollution. In this study, a low-cost and facile precipitation method at low temperature of 95 °C was used to synthesize visible-light-driven Nd 2 O 3 /Mo(S,O) 3-x ·0.34H 2 O heterojunctions (NdMoOS). The crystal structure, elemental composition, optical, and electrical properties of as-prepared materials were investigated using various analytical techniques. Organic dyes of methyl orange (MO), Rhodamine B (RhB), and Methylene blue (MB) were selected as model organic pollutants to evaluate the photocatalytic efficiency of as-synthesized materials under visible light irradiation. 20 mol% NdMoOS nanocomposite showed excellent degradation efficiency and it decomposed 98.8%, 99.9%, and 99.8% of MO, RhB, and MB after 120 min, 90 min, and 90 min visible light irradiation, respectively. HPLC-MS analysis further confirms the complete removal of dyes. The formation of heterojunction, high charge separation, and low recombination rate of photoinduced e - -h + pairs can contribute to the enhanced photocatalytic activity. Superoxide radicals (O 2–• ), hydroxyl radicals (HO • ), and holes (h + ) were identified as major oxidative species involved in the photocatalytic degradation mechanisms of MO, RhB, and MB dyes.

Formation of water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion seriously limits heavy oil production, and the interfacial adsorption of heavy components of oil is the key to clarify the emulsification of crude oil and formation water. In this study, the viscosifying behavior of W/O emulsion was correlated with the interfacial adsorption of heavy components using two typical heavy oil samples, i.e., high-resins oil and high-asphaltenes oil. Results showed that the resins, instead of the asphaltenes , contributed to the pseudoplastic behavior of W/O emulsion. The interfacial adsorption of resins presented the lower interfacial tension (IFT), the higher interfacial viscosity and the stronger film stability. However, when more asphaltenes was adsorbed on the interface, the film of oil-water interface changed from viscous to brittle and breakable. According to the composition analysis, the interfacial activity of resins was much stronger than asphaltenes. Besides, the W/O emulsion formed using model oil with resins performed the better stability compared with that formed using model oil with asphaltenes. This study provided that the interfacial adsorption of resins enhanced the emulsifying ability of crude oil and the film stability of W/O emulsion, which heavily aggravated the viscosifying behavior.

5- O -Caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA), also known as chlorogenic acid, exhibits various biological activities. Hence the interest in its property change during processing and extraction has increased. The present work studied the influence of ultrasound on the stability of 5-CQA at different pH (pH 4.69, 7.09, 7.69 and 9.22) in water and 50% methanol-water system. Different parameters including solvent, ultrasonic power, time, temperature, duty cycle, and liquid height were investigated during the treatment. Results indicate that ultrasound accelerated the degradation of 5-CQA. Based on Weibull model, the degradation kinetics were described. The rate constant ( k ) of the degradation increased with the increasing pH, demonstrating the alkali sensitivity of 5-CQA. The isomerization of 5-CQA to 3- and 4- O -caffeoylquinic acid was found at neutral and alkaline conditions, which was further boosted by ultrasound. The stability of 5-CQA was improved by adding epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and vitamin C (VC) respectively.

The fundamental understanding of the catalytic performance of copper-based catalysts for lignin hydroconversion is delayed compared with the empirical optimization of the catalyst preparation. Herein, we investigate the interplay between the lignin-abundant oxygen-containing functional groups and Cu active species via the catalytic β-O-4 lignin linkage hydrogenolysis. Catalyst performance data and elemental spectra characterizing the catalyst demonstrate the dominance of Cu0 in the catalysis. Remarkably, Cα–OH and Cα═O in the aliphatic chain play critical roles in this process, without which the linkage cannot be broken. These groups markedly accelerate the linkage cleavage by decreasing both the chemisorption energy between Cβ–O and Cu0 and the bond dissociation energy of the linkage. On the contrary, the methoxyl groups attached to the aromatic rings hinder the bond cleavage as a result of the steric effect. Such hindrance is significantly affected by the amount and position of the methoxyl groups. The results of this work highlight the importance of the unique structures of lignin in its reductive depolymerization catalyzed by copper-based catalysts, which appear to offer an opportunity for tailoring efficient copper-based catalysts for lignin hydrogenolysis.

The development of multi-target-directed ligands (MTDLs) may improve complex central nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, a series of 7-O-1, 2, 3-triazole hesperetin derivatives was evaluated for their inhibition of cholinesterase , anti-neuroinflammatory, and neuroprotective activity. Among the hesperetin derivatives, compound a8 (7-O-((1-(3-chlorobenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)hesperetin) possessed excellent anti-butyrylcholinesterase activity (IC 50 = 3.08 ± 0.29 μM) and exhibited good anti-neuroinflammatory activity (IC 50 = 2.91 ± 0.47 μM) against NO production through remarkably blocking the NF-κB signaling pathway and inhibiting the phosphorylation of P65. In addition, a8 showed a remarkable neuroprotective effect and lacked neurotoxicity up to 50 μM concentration. Furthermore, possessing significant self-mediated Aβ 1-42 aggregation inhibitory activity, chelated biometals and reduced ROS production were found in compound a8 . In the bi-directional transport assay, a8 exhibited a blood–brain barrier penetrating ability. In this study, the Morris water maze task showed that compound a8 significantly improved the learning and memory impairment of the scopolamine-induced AD mice model. Results highlighted the potential of compound a8 to be a potential MTDL for the development of anti-AD agents.

In this study, the effect of surface charge density of bacterial cellulose nanofibrils (BCNF) on the rheological characteristics of O/W Pickering emulsions was investigated by regulating the fibril charge density. BCNFs with different carboxylate group contents (0.66, 0.90 and 1.16 mmol/g dry cellulose, representing as TOBC-a, -b, and -c) were obtained by 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-nitrogen-oxide (TEMPO) oxidation . These oxidized products were used as Pickering stabilizers to prepare O/W Pickering emulsions. Diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS)-based microrheology was utilized to reflect the rheological features of emulsions. TOBC-a stabilized emulsion had a lower macroscopic viscosity, lower elasticity, and better fluidity. It was because a weaker fiber network was formed in the continuous phase during the ultrasonication emulsification . The influences of pH and ionic strength on the rheological properties of high-charged TOBC-c stabilized emulsions were also investigated. The emulsion prepared at pH 3.0 exhibited the highest viscosity. It was probably because the inter-fibrils electrostatic repulsion was weakened by the addition of HCl, and the hydrogen bonding interaction became dominant due to the protonation of carbohydrate group. At pH 11, the emulsion viscosity was lowest, which was resulted from the destruction of the intra-fibrils hydrogen bonds. With the NaCl concentration increased, the emulsion viscosity and elasticity increased. It was induced by the fact that the charge shielding effect of NaCl facilitated the formation of a tighter fibrils network in the continuous phase. These results have the potential to provide a guide for developing emulsion-based products with appropriate fluidity to broaden the practical application of emulsion.

Oxidized molybdenum disulfide (O–MoS 2 ) as a two-dimensional (2D) functional nanosheets material, has been used to fabricate high separation performance nanofiltration (NF) membranes for water treatment. However, the effect and regulation mechanism of the degree of oxidation on structure and separation performance of O–MoS 2 modified NF membrane has not yet been fully understood. In this work, O–MoS 2 with different oxidation degrees was synthesized by adjusting the oxidation time and KMnO 4 oxidant content via Hummers’ method. The results demonstrated that the O–MoS 2 synthesized under with an oxidation time of 3 h and MoS 2 :KMnO 4 ratio of 1:2 had excellent stability under acidic, neutral and alkaline conditions. The pure water flux increased 2.5 times and the Na 2 SO 4 salt rejection increased to 97.6% with this O–MoS 2 incorporation compared to the control membrane. The influence of different oxidation degrees on the performance of O–MoS 2 is a breakthrough finding of this work to provide a theoretical basis for the application of O–MoS 2 in the field of membrane separations .

There is an urgent need to develop a selective hydrogenolysis of C aryl -O bonds in lignin to produce valued-added chemicals and fuels. Recently, hydrogen has been used in the hydrogenation reaction, which hides inevitable danger and is not economical. Therefore, isopropanol, as a hydrogen-donor solvent, is employed for aryl ether hydrogenolysis in lignin models over nickel supported on a carbon nanotube (CNT). Except for aromatic ether (4-O-5), the Ni/CNT catalyst is also found to be suitable for alkyl-aryl ether (α-O-4 and β-O-4) cleavage in control experiments. The physicochemical characterizations were carried out by means of H 2 -temperature-programmed reduction, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses. The catalyst can be magnetically recovered and efficiently reused for five consecutive recycling tests in the transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ethers. A mechanism study indicated that the hydrogenolysis cleavage of the ether bond is the first step in the reaction process, and hydrogenation of aromatic rings is only a successive step in which phenol and benzene are intermediate states and are then further hydrogenated. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that aryl groups play an important role in the hydrogenation of phenol in the competitive catalytic hydrogenation reaction of phenol.

Graphene oxide (GO) underwent a single and double-side modification with octadecylamine (ODA) to MGO1 and MGO2 respectively. MGO1 and MGO2 were incorporated into the O/W base emulsion respectively to change the composition of the boundary layer and the oil phase. It was found that the tribological properties of MGO1-emulsion were better than that of MGO2-emulsion. Chemical composition analysis of the worn surfaces suggests that MGO1 nanosheets might adsorb more easily onto the surface and react better with the bearing steel to produce C–N–O–Fe-containing compounds than do MGO2 nanosheets, and that MGO1 nanosheets were more actively involved in the shear process that occurs in the contact area. SEM and nanoindentation indicated that there was a non-uniform softer MGO1-tribofilm on metal substrate.

Realizing the efficient utilization of photogenerated carriers is a pivotal process to access the efficient transformation of light energy . Herein, we firstly practice a facile template method to synthesize O-doped crystalline/none-crystalline g-C 3 N 4 embedded nano-homojunction photocatalysts (CMCCN-x). This nano-homojunction makes the crystalline phase sufficiently contact with amorphous phase and further facilitates the photoinduced electron transformation. Therefore, the best performance catalyst CMCCN-5 well integrates the advantages of crystal g-C 3 N 4 and amorphous g-C 3 N 4 , which exhibits an excellent photogenerated carrier separation ability and abundant photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction activity sites. Excellent performance in the separation and use of photogenic carriers endows CMCCN-5 with efficient utilization of photogenerated carriers. Although there is a limited light absorption range (<460 nm), the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of CMCCN-5 is up to 203.66 μmol h −1 under the visible light irradiation, about 86 times higher than pristine g-C 3 N 4 . The AQY numbers of CMCCN-5 at 420 nm and 450 nm are up to 26.9% and 14.0%, respectively. Thus, the significant effectiveness is forcefully proved for the facile construction of O-doped g-C 3 N 4 crystalline/none-crystalline nano-homojunction.
