The uniform distribution and high density of ionic moieties in functional porous organic polymers are highly advantageous for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and conversion. In this study, a series of functional poly(ionic liquid)s (FPILs) with hierarchical nanoporous structure bearing definite hydroxyl group were synthesized via ionothermal free-radical self-polymerization of hydroxyl-functionalized bis-vinylimidazolium monomer. The characterizations reflected that an improved surface area (up to 130.1 m(2) g(-1)), uniform chemical structure, and high-density ionic sites (up to 4.32 mmol g(-1)) and hydroxyl-based hydrogen bond donor (HBD) were achieved by optimizing synthetic parameters. After anion exchange to enrich active Br- anions, the resulting FPIL behaved as high-efficiency heterogeneous organocatalyst for solvent-additive-free CO2 cycloaddition at 90 degrees C and 1 MPa CO2. A high yield of 99.2 % with turnover frequency of 55.7 h(-1) over epichlorohydrin (ECH) was attained, much higher than most reported HBD-based heterogeneous catalysts, even surpassing homogeneous analogue. Furthermore, a wide range of epoxides including sterically hindered ones were transformed with high yields under atmospheric pressure. A possible synergistic effect involving Br- anions and HBDs dual active sites was proposed. This work highlights the significance of integrating hierarchical porosity, high-density and uniformly distributed active sites in the rational design of HBD-based heterogeneous organocatalysts for efficient CO2 fixation.
Separating acetonitrile-water azeotropic systems is challenging due to unclear molecular-level interaction mechanisms of ionic liquids (ILs). This study investigated ILs ([Emim]Br, [Bmim]Br, [Emim][BF4], and [Bmim][BF4]) as entrainers using experimental and theoretical approaches to elucidate the azeotropic point-breaking mechanism. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to analyze binary and ternary solutions, while density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6-311 + G(d) was used to refine the complexation energies and Boltzmann-averaged multiple isomers. Vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data (T, x, and y) for the pseudobinary systems of acetonitrile, water, and ILs at 101.33 kPa were measured and correlated using the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) model. The results show that ILs exhibit a stronger salting-out effect than solvation, enhancing the relative volatility of acetonitrile and eliminating the azeotropic point. The salting-out efficacy followed the order [Emim]Br > [Bmim]Br > [Emim][BF4] > [Bmim][BF4], with [Emim](+) and Br- being the most effective. These findings highlight the ILs' potential for efficient, sustainable industrial azeotrope separation.
Metal halide perovskites have recently emerged as promising candidates for photothermal catalysis due to their tunable band gaps, high absorption coefficient, and long carrier diffusion length. Most studies have concentrated on 3D perovskite-based heterostructures, while studies on 0D perovskite materials remain largely underexplored, especially in the area of photothermal catalysis. Herein, 0D Cs2MoBr6 microcrystals (MCs) with an octahedral morphology are synthesized, demonstrating efficient photothermal activity for the conversion of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde with similar to 97 % selectivity within 270 min, under normal pressure, at room temperature and without the use of additives or additional oxidants. Mechanistic studies reveal that 0D Cs2MoBr6 MCs exhibit ultrafast hot-carrier relaxation (< 1 ps) and strong electron-phonon coupling, which facilitate the generation of thermal energy and enhance reaction activity. Surface potential measurements further demonstrate efficient charge separation in Cs2MoBr6, which could facilitate the generation of superoxide radicals. Multiple scavenging experiments confirmed that the photogenerated electrons, holes, O-2(-), and O-1(2) play crucial roles in efficient photothermal catalysis. Our work highlights that perovskite can serve as an ideal platform for further exploration of thermocatalysis and photothermal catalysis, opening a new avenue for the use of halide perovskites as photothermal converters.
TEMPO-functionalized porous poly(ionic liquid)s prepared via copolymerization exhibits high catalytic efficiency under solvent-metal-free conditions. This study provides a green and sustainable approach for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols.
It is a formidable dilemma for vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) association behavior in chemical separation procedures to correlate and predict binary and ternary mixtures containing associated components, since the form of components is completely unknown, such as monomers, homogeneous or heterogeneous dimers, trimers, and even polymers, and so on. Herein, the VLE data for the binary and ternary mixtures, including methanol, water, and ethanoic acid, were measured via the various liquid- and vapor-phase compositions using a Fisher ebulliometer at 101.33 kPa. The geometric configurations and distributions of diverse clusters in methanol, water, and ethanoic acid systems were wholly optimized at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d) level of theory using Gaussian 09. Then, we established a strategy for computing the liquid activity coefficients by pondering the various association species in the associating system. The approach is named the discrete clusters (DC) model, and the comparison is also provided between the calculating results for the binary systems of the DC model and the UNIQUAC, NRTL, and Wilson models. Moreover, the ternary system's phase behavior was investigated by using the DC, UNIQUAC, NRTL, and Wilson models without further adjusting model parameters. The DC model conveyed the number of various clusters, indicating better consistency and a smaller deviation from the measured data. These VLE data originating from the DC model can be applied to the design and simulation of the chemical separation process of the binary and ternary association systems.
Selective hydrodeoxygenation transformations constitute the most pivotal industrial processes in chemistry and catalysis. Herein, we have rationally designed a heterogeneous Co/CoOx catalytic system with metallic Co and oxygen vacancies in CoOx for selective hydrodeoxygenation of structurally diverse ketones and nitro compounds under mild conditions (80-100 degrees C and 10 bar H2), which shows a superior performance compared to state-of-the-art noble-metal catalysts. Experimental results and DFT calculation revealed that oxygen vacancies not only promote the adsorption and activation of substrates and the intermediates via electronic interactions, but also enable the hydrodeoxygenation reactions in a low-energy pathway via the direct hydrogenolysis process, instead of the dehydration-hydrogenation process. Given its generality and efficiency, it is believed that this method can serve as a practical, economically viable approach for selective hydrodeoxygenation reactions, which should impact both the chemical industry and scientific research. The Co/CoOx catalyst with rich oxygen vacancies was found to be robust for mild and selective hydrodeoxygenation reactions. The oxygen vacancies promote the activation of substrates, and enable the reactions in direct hydrogenolysis pathway.

Herein, a strategy for screening ionic liquids as entrainers to separate acetonitrile and water azeotropic systems was implemented by combining theoretical and experimental investigations on the breaking azeotropic-point principle. The measured VLE data (T, x, y) for the acetonitrile (1) + water (2) + ILs (3) pseudo-binary systems at 101.33 kPa were correlated by the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) model at the different ILs mole concentrations. 1:1 complexes of four kinds ILs including [Emim]Br, [Bmim]Br, [Emim][BF4], and [Bmim][BF4] with acetonitrile or water were calculated at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d) level of theory using Gaussian 16 package. The salt-out effect of ILs on acetonitrile is superior to their solvation effect by quantum chemistry and COSMO-RS simulations. The experimental results show that the VLE line deviates from the VLE line of the azeotropic system of acetonitrile and water with the addition of [Emim]Br, [Bmim]Br, [Emim][BF4], and [Bmim][BF4]. The bigger the mole fraction of ILs is, the greater the deviation from the VLE azeotropic line is. Therefore, the ILs can change the relative volatility of acetonitrile to the water and eliminate the azeotropic point of the acetonitrile and water system. The order of the salting-out effect of ILs on acetonitrile is as follows: [Emim]Br, [Bmim]Br, [Emim][BF4], and [Bmim][BF4]. Meantime, among them, the salting-out law of the cations on acetonitrile is in the order: [Emim]+ > [Bmim]+; and that of the anions on acetonitrile is Br ‑ > [BF4] ‑ .
The society’s evaluation of individual traditional martial arts people because of their defeat in modern martial arts competitions is more extreme,and some of the online criticisms that have lost their objective rationality are full of anti-intellectualism. Based on the literature and interview methods,the research has examined cultural phenomena and sociology of this social phenomenon,and believes that the traditional Wushu authority has the ideal characteristics of intellectuals,lacks the ability to keep pace with the times and is connected with reality;modern media methods have changed the communication expectations amplify the bad faith of the disorderly crowds;the lack of a public domain of mutual trust in modern society makes the general public unable to objectively and rationally recognize traditional Wushu authority and other factors are the main reasons for the traditional Wushu authority to be questioned. Taking this as a refracting point,we can also see the anxiety and suffering suffered by contemporary society in the modernization brought about by the development and prosperity of the media.
Selective hydrogenation of nitriles is a feasible route to synthesize primary amines. While highly desirable, conducting the synthesis under mild conditions is challenging. We report non-precious zinc and aluminum oxides supported Ni catalysts (Ni/ZnAlOx) facilely prepared by calcination and reduction of NiZnAl layered double hydroxide (LDH) precursors. The optimized Ni/ZnAlOx-600 catalyst demonstrates great activity towards the selective hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines. Proper-size metallic nickel provides the hydrogenation centers, and the presence of Ni-Zn alloys indicates strong metal-support interactions, which can produce electron-deficient nickel species and enhances the chemisorption of the C---N bonds on the catalyst surface. The introduction of Zinc provides strong Lewis acid sites which also contribute to the catalytic activity. Based on the catalyst characterizations and control experiments, a plausible mechanism is proposed. This catalyst shows good stability and is conducive to the transformation of a variety of aromatic and aliphatic substrates, demonstrating potential application prospects.

Biomass feedstocks are promising candidates of renewable clean energy. The development and utilization of biological energy is in line with the concept of sustainable development and circular economy. As an important platform chemical, γ-valerolactone (GVL) is often used as green solvent and biofuel additive. Regarding this, the efficient synthesis of GVL from biomass derivative furfural (FF) has attracted wide attention recently, However, suitable catalyst with appropriate acid-base sites is required due to the complex reaction progress. In this Mini Review, the research progress of catalytic synthesis of GVL from furfural by Zr/Hf-based catalysts was reviewed. The different effects of Lewis acid-base and Brønsted acid sites in the catalysts on each steps in the reaction process were discussed firstly. Then the effects of regulation of acid-base sites in the catalysts was also studied. Finally, the advantages and challenges of Zr/Hf-based catalysts in FF converted to GVL system were proposed.
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is now a promising technology for energy storage. However, rapid capacity decay due to sulfur dissolution and shutting effect severely limit its commercial development. In this work, a NH2-UIO-66 metal organic framework-derived porous composite (Co-ZrO2@NC) consists of nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) loaded with cobalt nanoparticles was prepared. The porous NC component not only increases the accommodation of sulfur in the cathode, but also benefits the charge transfer in sulfur electrochemistry. The Co and ZrO2would act as active centers to enhance the adsorption/conversion of lithium polysulfide and improve its electrochemical utilization. When used in sulfur cathode, the Co-ZrO2@NC electrode shows excellent electrochemical performance with an initial specific capacity of 1073 mAh g-1at a rate of 0.2 C and a reversible capacity of 1015 mAh g-1after 100 cycles, corresponding to a capacity retention of 94.6%. Furthermore, after 300 cycles at 1.0 C, corresponding to a capacity retention of 75.4%. Moreover, the cell also exhibits good rate performance (640 mAh g-1at 3.0 C). Even at high sulfur loading of 4.0 mg cm-2, the S/Co-ZrO2@NC cathode is able to deliver an areal specific capacity of 4.8 mAh cm-2.
