Amino modified Fe3O4@SiO2 (Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2) was used to immobilize Cu2+ and VO2+ for preparing Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2–Cu2+ and Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2–VO2+ catalysts. Various technologies had been used for the characteristics of catalysts, such as XRD, XPS, FT-IR, SEM, TEM and VSM. The catalytic performance of Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2–VO2+ in HMF oxidation could be significantly enhanced by the use of Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2–Cu2+ as the co-catalysts. The type of reaction solvents showed a great influence on the oxidation of HMF. The highest HMF conversion reached up to 98.7% at 110 °C in toluene with an optimal 2,5-diformylfuran yield of 85.5%. Moreover, the Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2–Cu2+ and Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2–VO2+ catalyst exhibited great stability and could be readily applied in the next recycle after magnetic separation.

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has been extensively verified as a biobased aromatic ring platform compound. The development of mild and efficient novel oxidation technologies is important for FDCA preparation technologies. In this study, the efficient oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to produce FDCA by the TEMPO/NaClO/KBr single-phase aqueous catalytic oxidation system was systematically investigated, and the mechanism was analyzed in detail. Under the optimal reaction conditions, TEMPO as the main catalyst directly catalyzed the oxidation of HMF to FDCA, and the HMF conversion and FDCA yield both reached 100%. The oxidant NaClO could achieve a quantitative reaction (NaClO/HMF = 3:1(mol)). In addition, the reaction was conducted at mild room temperature and innovatively utilized a single aqueous system as the reaction solvent. This establishes a new method for the oxidative preparation of FDCA with the potential for technical scale-up.

The catalytic selective hydrodeoxygenation of guaiacol to value-added cyclohexane is one of the sustainable biomass utilization pathways for which the Ru/HZSM-5 support catalyst has been considered as promising. However, the effect of the catalyst morphology on the catalytic properties must be further investigated. Four Ru catalysts with different support morphologies, two-dimensional nanosheets (Ru/HZSM-5-P), brick-shaped (Ru/HZSM-5-G), cross-shaped (Ru/HZSM-5-J), and irregular particles (Ru/HZSM-5-D), were prepared by the impregnation method to investigate the effects of catalyst morphology and acidity on the conversion efficiency of lignin-derived guaiacol to cyclohexane. The catalytic activity data showed that Ru/HZSM-5-P exhibited the best catalytic performance among the four catalysts with a conversion rate of 99.9% for guaiacol and a yield of 99.9% for cyclohexane. The characterization results showed significant differences among the four catalysts in terms of accessibility (thickness and pore volume), acidity, metal particle size, and reduction temperature. The Ru/HZSM-5-P catalyst with a two-dimensional nanosheet structure showed the best accessibility, smaller metal particle size, reasonable metal–support interaction, and appropriate B/L. The relatively strong acid centers facilitate the activation of C–C and C–O bonds. Besides, the reduced Ru species on the Ru/ZSM-5 catalyst exhibited high H2 adsorption activity, which was beneficial for the adsorption of guaiacol. This indicates that the difference in catalyst morphology could greatly affect its catalytic activity, thereby altering the conversion rate of reactants and selectivity of the products.

The high-temperature H 2 S removal was conducted over x La y Cu/ZSM-5 sorbents prepared via citric acid method. The sorbents showed good desulphurization performance, the maximal sulfur capacity of 2240.5 μmol S/g over 5La5Cu/ZSM-5 was achieved at 700 °C. The presence of H 2 obviously shortened the breakthrough time and reduced the sulfur capacity. However, the presence of CO had little influence on the desulphurization behavior. The sulfidation activity of La 2 O 3 can be significantly enhanced by introduction of Cu due to the intimate mixing of La 2 O 3 and CuO, the formation of La 2 CuO 4 compound.

5-hydroxymethylfurfural is a common byproduct in food. However, its effect on growth and development remains incompletely understood. This study investigated the developmental toxicity of 5-HMF to Drosophila larvae. The growth and development of Drosophila melanogaster fed with 5–50 mM 5-HMF was monitored, and its possible mechanism was explored. It was found that 5-HMF prolonged the developmental cycle of Drosophila melanogaster (25 mM and 50 mM). After 5-HMF intake, the level of reactive oxygen species in the third instar larvae increased by 1.23–1.40 fold, which increased the level of malondialdehyde and caused changes in antioxidant enzymes. Moreover, the nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 antioxidant signaling pathway and the expression of heat shock protein genes were affected. At the same time, 5-HMF disrupted the glucose and lipid metabolism in the third instar larvae, influencing the expression level of key genes in the insulin signal pathway. Furthermore, 5-HMF led to intestinal oxidative stress, and up-regulated the expression of the pro-apoptotic gene, consequently impacting intestinal health. In short, 5-HMF causes oxidative stress, disturbs glucose and lipid metabolism and induces intestinal damage, damaging related signaling pathways, and ultimately affecting the development of Drosophila melanogaster .

The conversion of concentrated 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) or fructose to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a renewable alternative to petroleum-derived terephthalate acid, is highly desirable but challenging for FDCA production in an industrial scale. In this contribution, DMSO/H 2 O mixture was demonstrated as an effective medium for the production of FDCA from high concentration of HMF or fructose. For example, FDCA yield up to 93% was achieved at 10 wt% HMF concentration in DMSO/H 2 O over commercially available Ru/C (2 equiv. NaHCO 3 , 130 °C, 4 MPa O 2 and 12 h). Furthermore, an overall FDCA yield of 65% was achieved from concentrated fructose (19 wt%) through a facile two-step process. Notably, it is so far the highest HMF or fructose concentration employed for FDCA formation. As compared to pure water or DMSO , DMSO/H 2 O mixed system is able to stabilize HMF in an alkaline environment, which allows the efficient oxidation of HMF at high concentrations.

Nano hierarchical mesoporous ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared with cationic dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride acrylamide copolymer (PDDA) as a soft second template. Using ZSM-5 catalyst as a matrix, Zn/ZSM-5 catalysts were also obtained by the wet impregnation method. The effect of the PDDA amount and Zn loadings on the properties of the catalysts, including crystallinity , morphology, textural properties, acid nature and catalytic activity in MTG reaction, was investigated by XRD , FESEM , TEM, Nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms and NH 3 -TPD method, respectively. The MTG reaction was performed in a fixed bed reactor , and the result revealed that the nano hierarchical ZSM-5 catalyst prepared with a PDDA/Si molar ratio of 0.070 possesses longer stable phase of 70 h with a liquid hydrocarbon selectivity of 29.8%. Zn/ZSM-5 catalyst with a Zn/ZSM-5 ratio of 0.07 wt.% shows the highest liquid hydrocarbon selectivity, reaching 62.5%.

Deep hydrogenation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into jet fuel is an important strategy for the upgrading of light cycle oil (LCO). Zeolite-supported metal catalysts have exhibited good catalytic performance for hydrogenation of PAHs under relatively mild conditions. However, the impacts of acidity variations in zeolite supports, arising from the differences in framework Al (Al F ) distribution on the catalytic behavior of zeolite-supported metal catalysts in the deep hydrogenation of PAHs remains unclear. Herein, two series of mesoporous ZSM-5 samples, that is ZSM-5-E- x and ZSM-5-F- x , with the differences in Al F distribution but similar Si/Al ratios, were prepared in the crystallization system with or without NaOH. The results of NH 3 -TPD, Pyridine-IR, N 2 adsorption-desorption and SEM reveal that two series of HZSM-5 samples have similar acid density and acid strength, textural properties, morphology and particle size. However, the results of XPS, 27 Al MAS NMR, 2,6-Ditert-butylpyridine-IR, catalytic cracking of 1,3,5-triisopropylbenzene and the controlled reactions as well as DFT calculation indicate that the higher enrichment degree of Al F on the external surface and the suitable arrangement mode of Al F in ten-membered ring (10-MR) of HZSM-5-F- x compared to HZSM-5-E- x in case of the similar Si/Al ratios, result in Pt/HZSM-5-F- x exhibiting remarkably-improved deep hydrogenation performance of phenanthrene (PHE) compared to Pt/HZSM-5-E- x . Particularly, the selectivity to perhydrophenanthrene (PHP) over Pt/HZSM-5-F-50 can reach above 99.0% at a conversion of PHE (>99.0%). Furthermore, Pt/HZSM-5-F-50 exhibits well reusability. This work helps to clarify the impact of Al F distribution in ZSM-5 on catalytic hydrogenation performance for PAHs, providing valuable guidance for design and development of efficient catalysts for the hydrogenation of PAHs.

Background 2′-Fucosyllactose (2′-FL) is one of the major oligosaccharides found in human breast milk, with several recognized beneficial effects on the host. Extensive research has indicated positive effects of 2′-FL on cognitive development in the brain, yet its molecular mechanisms have remained elusive. This study aimed to assess the impact of 2′-FL on the gut-brain axis microbiota and cognitive function in growing mice, along with its potential mechanisms of action.
Results Following long-term supplementation for 4 weeks, 2′-FL was found to enhance cognitive memory function in growing mice (3 weeks old) as assessed through Y-maze, novel object recognition, and water maze tests. Analysis via 16S rRNA sequencing revealed significant alterations in gut microbiota diversity and composition induced by 2′-FL, notably increasing the relative abundance of Bacteroides and Lactobacillus genera. Additionally, 2′-FL significantly elevated levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) in the hippocampal tissue. However, antibiotic intervention abolished the cognitive advantage conferred by 2′-FL, highlighting the critical role of gut microbiota in mediating its effects. Similarly, short-term supplementation with 2′-FL for 7 days indicated rapid changes in gut microbiota composition preceding cognitive improvements, further suggesting a potential causal relationship between gut microbiota characteristics and cognition. Further, in vitro experiments with mouse feces suggested that 2′-FL may influence tryptophan hydroxylase levels in the gut microbiota and inhibit the activity of 5-hydroxytryptophan decarboxylase, potentially leading to increased accumulation of 5-HTP. Additionally, 2′-FL may indirectly impact tryptophan hydroxylase levels in enterochromaffin cells by promoting short-chain fatty acid production, which could support 5-HTP synthesis. Elevated 5-HTP produced by the gut system enters the bloodstream, crosses the blood–brain barrier, and may potentially enhance brain 5-HT levels.
Conclusion This study offers preliminary evidence that the cognitive-promoting effects of 2′-FL in mice may be closely associated with gut microbiota and 5-HT. The findings suggest that 2′-FL contribute to cognitive development in growing mice, potentially by modulating gut microbiota and enhancing 5-HT levels in the brain.

The photocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) represents a sustainable strategy for the conversion of biomass-based platform compounds into high-value chemicals. In this work, a supramolecular self-assembly strategy is employed to synthesize tubular carbon nitride (T-MCN), and sodium ion-doped carbon nitride (Na-T-MCN) is obtained via sodium chloride-assisted thermal polymerization. The optimized catalyst demonstrates superior activity in the oxidation of 5-HMF, achieving a high yield of FDCA (90%) within 8 h. The exceptional photocatalytic performance of Na-T-MCN is attributed to the incorporation of Na+ ions and cyanamide groups, which facilitate the separation of photogenerated charges and holes. To elucidate the underlying mechanism, intermediate trapping experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy are employed to investigate the dynamics of photoinduced charge separation, electron transfer, and the reaction pathway of photocatalytic oxidation of 5-HMF. The findings reveal that the key active species in the oxidation reaction are the •O2– and h+ species. This study provides a viable and efficient strategy for converting biomass platform compounds into high-value-added products.

As a novel green chemical building block, it is of significance to increase the productivity of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) derived from hexoses. In our work, a catalytic system efficiently converting glucose to HMF was designed, which is guided by catalytic coupling at multiple length scales. A catalyst from the sulfonated and carbonized glucose with aluminum loading containing Lewis and Brønsted acidic sites, along with tetrahydrofuran/H 2 O-NaCl featuring low boiling point and biphasic solvent, was introduced to the catalytic conversion of glucose. Not only the HMF yield of 75% from glucose was achieved at 140°C for 8 h but also the purity of HMF went up to 93% by facile separation and evaporation. In the reuse of the catalysts, the selectivity of HMF was basically maintained at 81% with the conversion of glucose decreasing by ca. 20% after five runs.

As an essential B vitamin, folate participates in one‑carbon metabolism. The 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) avoids the drawbacks associated with folic acid and native folylpolyglutamate folate in food, thereby emerging as a superior alternative to folate supplement. To enhance the stability and digestibility of 5-MTHF, nanoliposome (NL) was modified using a layer-by-layer self-assembly method with chitosan (CH) and pectin (P). Chitosan–nanoliposome (CH–NL) and pectin–chitosan–nanoliposome (P–CH–NL) were created, each featuring a core–shell structure. P–CH–NL achieved an encapsulation efficiency of 64.62 %, loading efficiency of 1.05 mg/g, and particle size of 285.86 nm. It exhibited better physical stability and 5-MTHF retention (>80 %) under various conditions, including salt and pH variations, as well as oxidative, thermal, fermentation, and UV stress. During in vitro digestion, P–CH–NL protected 5-MTHF until it was released into the small intestine. This study highlighted the application prospects of multilayer liposome-loaded 5-MTHF as a stable, highly digestible folate supplement.
