JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2025; 491:137864. [PMID: 40086242 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2025.137864] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2024] [Revised: 02/25/2025] [Accepted: 03/05/2025] [Indexed: 03/16/2025]
Abstract
Designing suitable carriers of sorbents for hot-coal-gas desulfurization is still a challenging task so far. In this study, dendritic fibrous nanosilica (DFNS) carriers with central radial pore structures were synthesized via microemulsion method, and the formation mechanism was proposed. The mean particle diameter (MPD) and mean surface wrinkle spacing (MSWS) of DFNS could be directionally controlled by regulating the emulsion phase behavior during DFNS synthesis. A series of mesoporous Zn-based desulfurizers were then constructed based on these DFNS carriers. The results indicate that the proposed parameter, pore slope, could be well positively correlated with the breakthrough sulfur capacity of desulfurizers. The activation energy (20.5 kJ/mol) of sorbent with the optimized carrier is significantly lower than that of previously reported desulfurizers. Additionally, the desulfurization performance of DFNS-supported sorbents could be further improved by 1.27 %-34.6 % by metal (Sm/Mo/Ni) modification. Sorbents with Ni/Zn molar ratio of 1/5 exhibit the highest breakthrough sulfur capacity of 15.85 g S/100 g sorbents. Moreover, the optimized sorbent demonstrated good stability over multiple sulfidation/regeneration cycles, highlighting its potential for hot-coal-gas desulfurization applications.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) demonstrate strong electrode adhesion and facile processability, making them promising candidates in all-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs). However, poor ionic conductivity, low Li+ transference number, and insufficient mechanical strength greatly limit their practical application. Zeolite, a porous ceramic material rich in active sites, shows significant potential as a filler in the PEO-based SPEs. In this study, we prepared heteroatomic Sn-Beta zeolite with high Lewis acid activity through a simple two-step postsynthesis process and explored the mechanism of action of metal acidic sites on Li+ dissociation and transport. The Lewis acidic metal sites in the Sn-Beta zeolite effectively weaken the coordination environment of Li+ by binding the O atoms in PEO via metal-oxygen bonds, facilitating the transfer of Li+ along the PEO polymer chains. Moreover, it can promote the dissociation of the lithium salt by anchoring TFSI- anions, resulting in the release of free Li+. The obtained SPE (PL-Sn-Beta) exhibits a high ionic conductivity of 1.40 × 10-3 S cm-1 at 60 °C and a Li+ transference number of up to 0.51. Furthermore, the ordered pore channels of the Sn-Beta zeolite provide uniform Li-ion transport pathways, facilitating homogeneous Li+ deposition. As a result, the lithium symmetric cell with PL-Sn-Beta demonstrates a stable lithium plating/stripping cycle performance for over 2200 h at 60 °C and 0.1 mA cm-2. Meanwhile, the initial discharge capacity of the Li/PL-Sn-Beta/LiFePO4 full cell reaches 145.6 mAh g-1 at 1 C and 60 °C, and the capacity retention rate is 81.5% after 500 cycles. This work provides theoretical insights into the mechanism of zeolite fillers in SPEs as well as new design concepts.

Abstract
Asymmetric catalysis has emerged as a pivotal strategy in the synthesis of chiral compounds, offering significant advantages in selectivity and efficiency. In recent years, heterogeneous catalysis has become a focal point in the fields of organic synthesis and materials science due to continuous advancements in science and technology, especially the use of crystalline porous materials (CPMs) as catalysts. This review summarizes recent advances in using CPMs, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and zeolites, as promising supports for asymmetric catalysts. These materials provide high surface areas, tunable porosity, and the ability to host active catalytic sites, which enhance reaction rates and selectivity. In this review, we summarize the stereostructural properties of chiral CPMs to guide the future design of asymmetric heterogeneous catalysts and the study of catalytic mechanisms. Moreover, we discuss various strategies for incorporating catalytic moieties into these frameworks, including direct synthesis, post-synthesis modification and induced synthesis methods. Additionally, we highlight recent examples where CPMs have been successfully applied in asymmetric transformations, examining their mechanistic insights and the role of substrate diffusion in achieving high enantioselectivity. This review concludes with a perspective on the challenges and future directions in this rapidly evolving field, emphasizing the need for further integration of advanced artificial intelligence techniques and design principles to optimize the synthesis and catalytic performance of chiral CPMs.

Abstract
Since the recognition of the area of asymmetric synthesis in 2000, there has been a tremendous focus on the development of heterogeneous catalysts for asymmetric synthesis. Porous organic polymers (POPs) have emerged in recent years as inextricable materials of high physicochemical and hydrolytic stabilities, permitting infinite possibilities to modulate and tune reactivity, engineer porosity, regulate spatial environments and pore attributes, and maneuver material transport. With a diligent design of building blocks and the exploitation of organic reactions judiciously, the synthesis of POPs with BET surface areas of the order of a few thousand cm3/g has been demonstrated. The incorporation of reactive functional groups and chiral centers into the porous matrices of polymers offers opportunities to conduct asymmetric synthesis. Very high enantioselectivities of the order of 99% ee have been exemplified in the reactions mediated by chiral POPs (CPOPs). The design-driven tunability of POPs allows the development of catalytic materials for targeted applications in a tailor-made fashion. This review, while placing the development of chiral materials for asymmetric synthesis in the right perspective, delves into different design principles to pave the way for continued research on futuristic CPOP materials by a creative design, limited by one's imagination, for heretofore unprecedented results.

Electrocatalytic Hydrogenation Boosted by Surface Hydroxyls-Modulated Hydrogen Migration over Nonreducible Oxides. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2025; 37:e2500371.

Abstract
The migration of atomic hydrogen species over heterogeneous catalysts is deemed essential for hydrogenation reactions, a process closely related to the catalyst's functionalities. While surface hydroxyls-assisted hydrogen spillover is well documented on reducible oxide supports, its effect on widely-used nonreducible supports, especially in electrocatalytic reactions with water as the hydrogen source, remains a subject of debate. Herein, a nonreducible oxide-anchored copper single-atom catalyst (Cu1/SiO2) is designed and uncover that the surface hydroxyls on SiO2 can serve as efficient transport channels for hydrogen spillover, thereby enhancing the activated hydrogen coverage on the catalyst and favoring the hydrogenation reaction. Using electrocatalytic dechlorination as a model reaction, the Cu1/SiO2 catalyst delivers hydrodechlorination activity 42 times greater than that of commercial Pd/C. An integrated experimental and theoretical investigation elucidates that surface hydroxyls facilitate the spillover of hydrogen intermediates formed at the Cu sites, boosting the coverage of active hydrogen on the surface of the Cu1/SiO2. This work demonstrates the feasibility of surface hydroxyls acting as transport channels for hydrogen-species to boost hydrogen spillover on nonreducible oxide supports and paves the way for designing advanced selective hydrogenation electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Fabrication of ordered mesoporous materials (OMMs) has predominantly relied on templating-based methods. However, these methods are constrained by several limitations, especially the limited pore sizes attainable with commercially available surfactants used as structure-directing agents. To unlock the full potential of the OMMs, it is essential to develop synthetic strategies that facilitate the production of large-pore OMMs using scalable processes and cost-effective precursors. This work demonstrates the use of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)-derived carbon replicas for synthesizing ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) and metal oxides (OMMOs) via precursor infiltration and template removal. The nanostructural evolution of the resulting inorganic materials was systematically investigated. Specifically, using tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as a silica precursor, this method can produce an OMS with relatively large pores. To establish the generalizability of this process, the fabrication approach was extended to other commercially available TPEs with varied chemical compositions and molecular weights while consistently resulting in ordered structures. Additionally, this synthetic strategy can be successfully applied to the production of OMMOs, including tin and titanium oxide matrix chemistries, yielding pore sizes of 16.0 and 19.2 nm, respectively. By developing a general method and using low-cost precursors, this work presents a scalable approach for fabricating large-pore OMMs with tunable pore textures and matrix chemistries.

Abstract
A novel synthesis of a nanometric MCM-41 from biogenic silica obtained from rice husk is here presented. CTABr and Pluronic F127 surfactants were employed as templating agents to promote the formation of a long-range ordered 2D-hexagonal structure with cylindrical pores and to limit the particle growth at the nanoscale level thus resulting in a material with uniform particle size of 20-30 nm. The physico-chemical properties of this sample (RH-nanoMCM) were investigated through a multi-technique approach, including PXRD, 29Si MAS NMR, TEM, Z-potential and N2 physisorption analysis at 77 K. The results were compared to those of a nanometric MCM-41 synthesized from a silicon alkoxide precursor. The adsorption capacity of RH-nanoMCM towards the cationic dye rhodamine B from aqueous phase was investigated at different initial dye concentrations by means of UV-vis spectroscopy. Insight into the non-covalent interactions between the dye molecules and the adsorbent surface was gained by means of 1H and 13C MAS NMR spectroscopy and FT-IR spectroscopy.

Abstract
Asymmetric catalysis is essential for addressing the increasing demand for enantiopure compounds. Recent advances in reticular chemistry have demonstrated that metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) possess highly regular porous architectures, exceptional tunability, and the ability to incorporate chiral functionalities through their open channels or cavities. These characteristics make them highly effective and enantioselective catalysts for a wide range of asymmetric transformations. The chiral microenvironments within these frameworks facilitate precise control over reactant orientation and transition states, enhancing both catalytic activity and enantioselectivity, thereby offering significant advantages over traditional systems. This review overviews recent developments in chiral MOFs (CMOFs) and chiral COFs (CCOFs), focusing on their design strategies, and synthetic methods, and highlights the structure-property relationships that connect key structural features to asymmetric catalytic performance. Additionally, the current challenges and future prospects in this field are addressed, highlighting the pivotal role of reticular chemistry in the creation of chiral porous materials. It is anticipated that this review will inspire further research into the application of crystalline porous materials in asymmetric catalysis and promote the rational design of novel chiral heterogeneous catalysts for industrial use.

Abstract
Optogenetics, a revolutionary technique utilizing light-sensitive proteins to control cellular functions with high spatiotemporal precision, presents a promising avenue for disease treatment; however, its application in cancer therapy remains constrained by limited research. Herein, we introduce a pioneering strategy for remote-controlled optogenetic cancer therapy, synergistically merging optogenetics with ion therapy, which incorporates ion self-supply, in situ ion channel construction, and near-infrared (NIR) light-activated ion therapy, facilitating remote and noninvasive manipulation of cellular activities in deep tissues and living animals. We report the facile synthesis of water-dispersible upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP)-metal-organic framework (MOF) nanohybrids capable of effectively delivering plasmid DNA to cancer cells, thereby enabling the in situ expression of photoactivatable cation channels. The pH-responsive MOF components serve as a reservoir for metal cations, which are released in the acidic microenvironment of tumors, while the UCNP components function as remote-controlled transducers, converting near-infrared (NIR) light into visible light to activate the cation channels and allowing the cancer influx of released metal cations for ion therapy. The proposed remote-controlled cancer optogenetic therapy demonstrates its effectiveness across multiple tumor models, including subcutaneous colon tumors, subcutaneous breast tumors, and orthotopic breast tumors. This study represents a significant step toward the realization of optogenetics in clinics, with substantial potential for advancing cancer therapy.

Abstract
Suzuki-Miyaura coupling (SMC), a crucial C-C cross-coupling reaction, is still associated with challenges such as high synthetic costs, intricate work-ups, and contamination with homogeneous metal catalysts. Research intensely focuses on strategies to convert homogeneous soluble metal catalysts into insoluble powder solids, promoting heterogeneous catalysis for easy recovery and reuse as well as for exploring greener reaction protocols. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), recognized for their high surface area, porosity, and presence of transition metals, are increasingly studied for developing heterogeneous SMC. The molecular fence effect, attributed to MOF surface functionalization, helps preventing catalyst deactivation by aggregation, migration, and leaching during catalysis. Recent reports demonstrate the enhanced catalytic activity, selectivity, stability, application scopes, and potential of MOFs in developing greener heterogeneous synthetic methodologies. This review focuses on the catalytic applications of MOFs in SMC reactions, emphasizing developments after 2016. It critically examines the synthesis and incorporation of active metal species into MOFs, focusing on morphology, crystallinity, and dimensionality for catalytic activity induction. MOF catalysts are categorized based on their metal nodes in subsections, with comprehensive discussion on Pd incorporation strategies, catalyst structures, optimal SMC conditions, and application scopes, concluding with insights into challenges and future research directions in this important emerging area of MOF applications.

Abstract
The use of supported rhodium nanoparticles (RhNPs) is gaining attention due to the drive for better catalyst performance and sustainability. Silica-based supports are promising for RhNP immobilization because of their thermal and chemical stability. Functionalizing silica allows for the design of catalysts with improved activity for biomass transformations. In this study, we synthesized rhodium nanoparticles (RhNPs) supported on N-functionalized silica-based materials, utilizing SBA-15 as the support and functionalizing it with either nicotinamide or an imidazolium-based ionic liquid. Solid-state 29Si and 13C NMR experiments confirmed successful ligand anchoring onto the silica surface. RhNPs@SBA-15-Imz[NTf2] and RhNPs@SBA-15-NIC were efficiently prepared and extensively characterized, revealing small, spherical, and well-dispersed fcc Rh nanoparticles on the support surface, confirmed by XPS analyses detecting metallic rhodium, Rh(I), and Rh(III) species. The catalytic performance of these materials is assessed in the hydrogenation of biomass-derived substrates, including furfural, levulinic acid, terpenes, vanillin, and eugenol, among others, underscoring their potential in sustainable chemical transformations. The nanocatalysts demonstrated excellent recyclability and resistance to metal leaching over multiple cycles. The study shows that neutral and ionic silica grafting fragments differently stabilize RhNPs, affecting their morphology, size, and interaction with silanol groups, which impacts their catalytic activity.

Abstract
The unique catalytic properties of natural enzymes have inspired chemists to develop biomimetic catalyst platforms for the intention of retaining the unique functions and solving the application limitations of enzymes, such as high costs, instability and unrecyclable ability. Porous materials possess unique advantages for the construction of biomimetic catalysts, such as high surface areas, thermal stability, permanent porosity and tunability. These characteristics make them ideal porous matrices for the construction of biomimetic catalysts by immobilizing enzyme-mimic active sites inside porous materials. The developed porous biomimetic catalysts demonstrate high activity, selectivity and stability. In this feature article, we categorize and discuss the recently developed strategies for introducing enzyme-mimic active species inside porous materials, which are based on the type of employed porous materials, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), molecular sieves, porous metal silicate (PMS) materials and porous carbon materials. The advantages and limitations of these porous materials-based biomimetic catalysts are discussed, and the challenges and future directions in this field are also highlighted.

Abstract
Zeolites are microporous crystalline materials that find a very wide range of applications, which, however, are limited by the size and dimensionality of their pores. Stable silica zeolites with a three-dimensional (3D) system of extra-large pores (ELP, i.e., pores with minimum windows along the diffusion path consisting of more than 12 SiO4/2 tetrahedra, 12R) are in demand for processing larger molecules than zeolites can currently handle. However, they have challenged worldwide synthetic capabilities for more than eight decades. In this review we first present a brief history of the discovery of ELP zeolites. Next, we show that earlier successes of zeolites with 3D ELP were not actually zeolites, but rather interrupted structures with, in addition, a composition that severely detracted from their stability. Finally, we present three new fully connected stable silica-based 3D ELP zeolites ZEO-1, ZEO-3 and ZEO-5, discuss their preparation methods and stability as well as the clear advantage of their increased porosity in catalysis and adsorption processes involving large molecules. We will discuss peculiar characteristics of their preparation and present two new reaction types giving rise to zeolites (1D-to-3D topotactic condensation and interchain expansion), highlighting how new synthesis methods can provide materials that would otherwise be unfeasible.

Abstract
The highly dispersed ultrasmall palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) (1.7 nm) were successfully immobilized on a N-containing metal-organic framework (MOF, DUT-67-PZDC) using a co-reduction method, and it is used as an excellent catalyst for formic acid dehydrogenation (FAD). The optimized catalyst Pd/DUT-67-PZDC(10, 10 wt% Pd loading) shows 100% hydrogen (H2) selectivity and formic acid (FA) conversion at 60 °C, and the commendable initial turnover frequency (TOF) values of 2572 h-1 with the sodium formate (SF) as an additive and 1059 h-1 even without SF, which is better than most reported MOF supported Pd monometallic heterogeneous catalysts. The activation energy (Ea) of FAD is 43.2 KJ/mol, which is lower than most heterogeneous catalysts. In addition, the optimized catalyst Pd/DUT-67-PZDC(10) maintained good stability over five consecutive runs, demonstrating only minimal decline in catalytic activity. The outstanding catalytic performance could be ascribed to the synergistic corporations of the unique structure of DUT-67-PZDC carrier with hierarchical pore characteristic, the metal-support interaction (MSI) between the active Pd NPs and DUT-67-PZDC, the highly dispersed Pd NPs with ultrafine size serve as the catalytic active site, as well as the N sites on the support could act as the proton buffers. This work provides a new paradigm for the efficient H2 production of FAD by constructing highly active heterogeneous Pd-based catalysts using MOF supports.

Abstract
Efficient, green and stable catalysis has always been the core concept of enzyme catalysis in industrial processes for manufacturing. Therefore, we construct a new strategy with photothermal interfacial molecular transfer for green and efficient biodiesel catalysis. We encapsulate Candida albicans lipase B (CalB) in a γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (γ-CD-MOF) loading with Ti3C2TX by in situ growth and electrostatic assembly. The γ-CD-MOF not only protects the fragile enzyme, but also enhances the catalytic performance through the synergistic effects of porous adsorption (MOF pore structure) and interfacial enrichment (cyclodextrins host-guest assembly structure) for accelerating substrate transfer (642.6 %). The CalB@γ-CD-MOF/MXene-i activity can be regulated up to 274.6 % by exposure to near-infrared (NIR). Importantly, CalB@γ-CD-MOF/MXene-i achieves 93.3 % biodiesel conversion under NIR and maintained 86.9 % activity after 6 cycles. Meanwhile, the MXene after the CalB@γ-CD-MOF/MXene catalytic cycle can be almost completely recovered. We verify the mechanism of high catalytic activity of γ-CD-MOF and rationalize the mechanism of CD molecular channel by DFT. Therefore, this highly selective enzyme catalytic platform offers new possibilities for green and efficient preparation of bioenergy.

Abstract
The use of light energy to drive asymmetric organic transformations to produce high-value-added organic compounds is attracting increasing interest as a sustainable strategy for solving environmental problems and addressing the energy crisis. Chiral covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as porous crystalline chiral materials, have become an important platform on which to explore new chiral photocatalytic materials due to their precise tunability, chiral structure, and function. This review highlights recent research progress on chiral COFs and their crystalline composites, evaluating their application as catalysts in asymmetric photocatalytic organic transformations in terms of their structure. Finally, the limitations and challenges of chiral COFs in asymmetric photocatalysis are discussed, with future opportunities for research being identified.

Abstract
In this work, a Pd(II)-C,N-cyclometalated complex was grafted to polysiloxanes via azide-alkyne cycloaddition. The obtained polymer-metal complex (Pd-PDMS) acts as a catalyst in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. Pd-PDMS was drop-casted onto a carbon fiber support, and the resulting membrane demonstrated catalytic activity in the cross-coupling reaction without yield loss after several catalytic cycles. The catalytic membrane allows for easy catalyst recycling and provides ultra-low palladium levels in Suzuki-Miyaura reaction products.

Abstract
Bioethanol is one of the most important bio-resources produced from biomass fermentation and is an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil-based fuels as it is regarded as renewable and clean. Bioethanol and its derivatives are used as feedstocks in petrochemical processes as well as fuel and fuel additives in motor vehicles to compensate for the depletion of fossil fuels. This review chronicles the recent developments in the catalytic conversion of ethanol to diethyl ether, ethylene, propylene, long-chain hydrocarbons, and other important products. Various heterogeneous catalysts, such as zeolites, metal oxides, heteropolyacids, mesoporous materials, and metal-organic frameworks, have been used in the ethanol conversion processes and are discussed extensively. The significance of various reaction parameters such as pressure, temperature, water content in the ethanol feed, and the effect of catalyst modification based on various kinds of literature are critically evaluated. Further, coke formation and coke product analysis using various analytical and spectroscopic techniques during the ethanol conversion are briefly discussed. The review concludes by providing insights into possible research paths pertaining to catalyst design aimed at enhancing the catalytic conversion of (bio)ethanol.

Abstract
Conventional catalyst preparative methods commonly entail the impregnation, precipitation, and/or immobilization of nanoparticles on their supports. While convenient, such methods do not readily afford the ability to control collective ensemble-like nanoparticle properties, such as nanoparticle proximity, placement, and compartmentalization. In this Perspective, we illustrate how incorporating colloidal templating into catalyst design for thermocatalysis confers synthetic advantages to facilitate new catalytic investigations and augment catalytic performance, focusing on three colloid-templated catalyst structures: 3D macroporous structures, hierarchical macro-mesoporous structures, and discrete hollow nanoreactors. We outline how colloidal templating decouples the nanoparticle and support formation steps to devise modular catalyst platforms that can be flexibly tuned at different length scales. Of particular interest is the raspberry colloid templating (RCT) method which confers high thermomechanical stability by partially embedding nanoparticles within its support, while retaining high levels of reactant accessibility. We illustrate how the high modularity of the RCT approach allows one to independently control collective nanoparticle properties, such as nanoparticle proximity and localization, without concomitant changes to other catalytic descriptors that would otherwise confound analyses of their catalytic performance. We next discuss how colloidal templating can be employed to achieve spatially disparate active site functionalization while directing reactant transport within the catalyst structure to enhance selectivity in multistep catalytic cascades. Throughout this Perspective, we highlight developments in advanced characterization that interrogate transport phenomena and/or derive new insights into these catalyst structures. Finally, we offer our outlook on the future roles, applications, and challenges of colloidal templating in catalyst design for thermocatalysis.

Abstract
This study elucidates the mass transfer mechanism of myoglobin (Mb) within a single silica particle with a 50 nm pore size at various pH levels (6.0, 6.5, 6.8, and 7.0). Investigation of Mb distribution ratio (R) and distribution kinetics was conducted using absorption microspectroscopy. The highest R was observed at pH 6.8, near the isoelectric point of Mb, as the electrostatic repulsion between Mb molecules on the silica surface decreased. The time-course absorbance of Mb in the silica particle was rigorously analyzed based on a first-order reaction, yielding the intraparticle diffusion coefficient of Mb (Dp). Dp-(1 + R)-1 plots at different pH values were evaluated using the pore and surface diffusion model. Consequently, we found that at pH 6.0, Mb diffused in the silica particle exclusively through surface diffusion, whereas pore diffusion made a more substantial contribution at higher pH. Furthermore, we demonstrated that Mb diffusion was hindered by slow desorption, associated with the electrostatic charge of Mb. This comprehensive analysis provides insights into the diffusion mechanisms of Mb at acidic, neutral, and basic pH conditions.

Abstract
Zeolite-mediated catalytic cracking of alkanes is pivotal in the petrochemical and refining industry, breaking down heavier hydrocarbon feedstocks into fuels and chemicals. Its relevance also extends to emerging technologies such as biomass and plastic valorization. Zeolite catalysts, with shape selectivity and selective adsorption capabilities, enhance efficiency and sustainability due to their well-defined network of pores, dimensionality, cages/cavities, and channels. This study focuses on the alkane cracking over 10-membered ring (10-MR) zeolites under industrially relevant conditions. Through a series of characterizations, including operando UV-vis spectroscopy and solid-state NMR spectroscopy, we intend to address mechanistic debates about the alkane cracking mechanism, aiming to understand the dependence of product selectivity on zeolite topologies. The findings highlight topology-dependent mechanisms, particularly the role of intersectional void spaces in zeolite ZSM-5, influencing aromatic-based product selectivity. This work provides a unique understanding of zeolite-catalyzed hydrocarbon conversion, linking alkane activation steps to the traditional hydrocarbon pool mechanism, contributing to the fundamental knowledge of this crucial industrial process.

Abstract
Superlong MOF-74-type micro/nanofibers, which have aspect ratios much higher than 200, are synthesized via nanoparticulate MOF-mediated recrystallization. Co-MOF-74 microfibers have high crystallinity, whereas Co-MOF-74-II nanofibers are composed of nanocrystals and amorphous phases, even though they have nanofibrous morphology. Both MOFs consist of plenty of micropores with diameters in the range of 1.0 to 2.0 nm, and they exhibit high thermal stability with a decomposition temperature higher than 260.0 °C. The MOFs are demonstrated for selective absorption of some vitamins including riboflavin, folic acid, and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate. Co-MOF-74-II nanofibers can efficiently absorb riboflavin and folic acid from their aqueous solution with absorption percentages approaching 90.0%, and they have enhanced capability for absorbing tocopherol in methanol. The micro/nanofibrous morphology, together with the capability for selective vitamin absorption, makes the novel MOFs highly promising for applications in micro-solid-phase extraction.

Abstract
Imidazole molecules entrapped in porous materials can exhibit high and stable proton conductivity suitable for elevated temperature (>373 K) fuel cell applications. In this study, new anhydrous proton conductors based on imidazole and mesoporous KIT-6 were prepared. To explore the impact of the acidic nature of the porous matrix on proton conduction, a series of KIT-6 materials with varying Si/Al ratios and pure silica materials were synthesized. These materials were additionally modified with cerium atoms to enhance their Brønsted acidity. TPD-NH3 and esterification model reaction confirmed that incorporating aluminum into the silica framework and subsequent modification with cerium atoms generated additional acidic sites. UV-Vis and XPS identified the presence of Ce3+ and Ce4+ in the KIT-6 materials, indicating that high-temperature treatment after cerium introduction may lead to partial cerium incorporation into the framework. EIS studies demonstrated that dispersing imidazole within the KIT-6 matrices resulted in composites showing high proton conductivity over a wide temperature range (300-393 K). The presence of weak acidic centers, particularly Brønsted sites, was found to be beneficial for achieving high conductivity. Cerium-modified composites exhibited conductivity surpassing that of molten imidazole, with the highest conductivity (1.13 × 10-3 S/cm at 393 K) recorded under anhydrous conditions for Ce-KIT-6. Furthermore, all tested composites maintained high stability over multiple heating and cooling cycles.

Abstract
Precious metal nanoparticles have been widely investigated due to their excellent activity shown in catalysis and sensing. However, how to prepare highly dispersed noble metal nanoparticles to improve the lifetime of catalysts and reduce the cost is still an urgent problem to be solved. In this study, a carbon-based carrier material was prepared by an expansion method and loaded with Pd or Ag nanoparticles on this carbon material to synthesize precious metal nanoparticle composites, which were characterized in detail. The results show that the nanoparticles prepared using this method exhibit superior dispersion. Under the synergistic effect of noble metal nanoparticles and porous carbon carriers, the composites exhibited excellent catalytic degradation of p-nitrophenol and showed excellent sensing performance in the modified hydrogen peroxide sensor electrode. This approach is highly informative for the preparation of nanocomposites in medical and environmental fields.

Abstract
Interfacial hydrogen transfer between metal particles and catalyst supports is a ubiquitous phenomenon in heterogeneous catalysis, and this occurrence on reducible supports has been established, yet controversies remain about how hydrogen transfer can take place on nonreducible supports, such as silica. Herein, highly dispersed Pt clusters supported on a series of porous silica materials with zeolitic or/and amorphous frameworks were prepared to interrogate the nature of hydrogen transfer and its promotional effect on H2-HDO isotope catalytic exchange. The formation of zeolitic frameworks upon these porous silica supports by hydrothermal crystallization greatly promotes the interfacial hydrogen bidirectional migration between metal clusters and supports. Benefiting from this transfer effect, the isotope exchange rate is enhanced by 10 times compared to that on the amorphous counterpart (e.g., Pt/SBA-15). In situ spectroscopic and theoretical studies suggest that the defective silanols formed within the zeolite framework serve as the reactive sites to bind HDO or H2O by hydrogen bonds. Under the electrostatic attraction interaction, the D of hydrogen-bonded HDO scrambles to the Pt site and the dissociated H on Pt simultaneously spills back to the electronegative oxygen atom of adsorbed water to attain H-D isotope exchange with an energy barrier of 0.43 eV. The reverse spillover D on Pt combines with the other H on Pt to form HD in the effluent. We anticipate that these findings are able to improve our understanding of hydrogen transfer between metal and silica supports and favor the catalyst design for the hydrogen-involving reaction.

Abstract
Methyl carboxylate esters promote the formation of dimethyl ether (DME) from the dehydration of methanol in H-ZSM-5 zeolite. We employ a multilevel quantum method to explore the possible associative and dissociative mechanisms in the presence, and absence, of six methyl ester promoters. This hybrid method combines density functional theory, with dispersion corrections (DFT-D3), for the full periodic system, with second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) for small clusters representing the reaction site, and coupled cluster with single, double, and perturbative triple substitution (CCSD(T)) for the reacting molecules. The calculated adsorption enthalpy of methanol, and reaction enthalpies of the dehydration of methanol to DME within H-ZSM-5, agree with experiment to within chemical accuracy (∼4 kJ mol-1). For the promoters, a reaction pathway via an associative mechanism gives lower overall reaction enthalpies and barriers compared to the reaction with methanol only. Each stage of this mechanism is explored and related to experimental data. We provide evidence that suggests the promoter's adsorption to the Brønsted acid site is the most important factor dictating its efficiency.

Abstract
Construction of robust heterogeneous catalysts with atomic precision is a long-sought pursuit in the catalysis field due to its fundamental significance in taming chemical transformations. Herein, we present the synthesis of a single-crystalline pyrazolate metal-organic framework (MOF) named PCN-300, bearing a lamellar structure with two distinct Cu centers and one-dimensional (1D) open channels when stacked. PCN-300 exhibits exceptional stability in aqueous solutions across a broad pH range from 1 to 14. In contrast, its monomeric counterpart assembled through hydrogen bonding displays limited stability, emphasizing the role of Cu-pyrazolate coordination bonds in framework robustness. Remarkably, the synergy of the 1D open channels, excellent stability, and the active Cu-porphyrin sites endows PCN-300 with outstanding catalytic activity in the cross dehydrogenative coupling reaction to form the C-O bond without the "compulsory" ortho-position directing groups (yields up to 96%), outperforming homogeneous Cu-porphyrin catalysts. Moreover, PCN-300 exhibits superior recyclability and compatibility with various phenol substrates. Control experiments reveal the synergy between the Cu-porphyrin center and framework in PCN-300 and computations unveil the free radical pathway of the reaction. This study highlights the power of robust pyrazolate MOFs in directly activating C-H bonds and catalyzing challenging chemical transformations in an environmentally friendly manner.

Abstract
Defect-engineered metal-organic frameworks (DEMOFs) are emerging advanced materials. The construction of DEMOFs is of great significance; however, DEMOF-based catalysis remains unexplored. (E)-vinylboronates, an important building block for asymmetric synthesis, can be synthesized via the hydroboration of alkynes. However, the lack of high-performance catalysts considerably hinders their synthesis. Herein, a series of DEHKUST-1 (HKUST = Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) (Da-f) catalysts with missing occupation of linkers at Cu nodes were designed by partially replacing benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (H3BTC) with defective connectors of pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate (PYDC) to efficiently promote the hydroboration of alkynes. Results showed that the Dd containing 0.8 doping ratio of PYDC exhibited remarkable catalytic activity than the defect-free HKUST-1. This originated from the improved accessibility for reactants towards the Lewis acid active Cu sites of DEHKUST-1 due to the presence of plenty of rooms next to the Cu sites and enhanced coordination ability in such 'defective' HKUST-1. Dd had high selectivity (>99 %) and yield (>96 %) for (E)-vinylboronates and extensive functional group compatibility for terminal alkynes. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to elucidate the mechanism of hydroboration. Compared with that of defect-free HKUST-1, the low energy barrier of DEHKUST-1 can be attributed to the lower coordination number of Cu sites and enhanced accessibility of Cu active sites towards reagents.

Abstract
Designing highly efficient and stable electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) is essential to the production of green and renewable hydrogen. Metal-organic framework (MOF) precursor strategies are promising for the design of excellent electrocatalysts because of their porous architectures and adjustable compositions. In this study, a hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) nanowire was developed as a precursor and template for the controllable and scalable synthesis of CoRu-MOF nanotubes. After calcination in Ar, the CoRu-MOF nanotubes were converted into N-doped graphene (NG) nanotubes with ultrafine CoRu nanoclusters (hereon called Co-xRu@NG-T; x = 0, 5, 10, 15, 25 representing the Ru content of 0-0.25 mmol; T = 400 °C to 700 °C) that were densely encapsulated and isolated on the shell. Taking advantage of the synergistic effects of the porous, one-dimensional hollow structure and ultrafine CoRu nanoclusters, the optimized Co-15Ru@NG-500 catalyst demonstrated superior catalytic performance for HERs in alkaline electrolytes with an overpotential of only 30 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and robust durability for 2000 cycles, which outperforms many typical catalytic materials, such as commercial Pt/C. This work introduces a novel high-efficiency and cost-effective HER catalyst for application in commercial water-splitting electrolysis.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as a subclass of porous crystalline materials with unique structures and multifunctional properties, play a pivotal role in various research domains. In recent years, significant attention has been directed toward composite materials based on MOFs, particularly MOF-on-MOF heterostructures. Compared to individual MOF materials, MOF-on-MOF structures harness the distinctive attributes of two or more different MOFs, enabling synergistic effects and allowing for the tailored design of diverse multilayered architectures to expand their application scope. However, the rational design and facile synthesis of MOF-on-MOF composite materials are in principle challenging due to the structural diversity and the intricate interfaces. Hence, this review primarily focuses on elucidating the factors that influence their interfacial growth, with a specific emphasis on the interfacial engineering of heterogeneous reactions, in which MOF-on-MOF hybrids can be conveniently obtained by using pre-fabricated MOF precursors. These factors are categorized as internal and external elements, encompassing inorganic metals, organic ligands, lattice matching, nucleation kinetics, thermodynamics, etc. Meanwhile, these intriguing MOF-on-MOF materials offer a wide range of advantages in various application fields, such as adsorption, separation, catalysis, and energy-related applications. Finally, this review highlights current complexities and challenges while providing a forward-looking perspective on future research directions.

Abstract
A systematic procedure is introduced for modeling charge-neutral non-polar surfaces of ionic minerals containing polyatomic anions. By integrating distance- and charge-based clustering to identify chemical species within the mineral bulk, our pipeline, PolyCleaver, renders a variety of theoretically viable surface terminations. As a demonstrative example, this approach was applied to forsterite (Mg2SiO4), unveiling a rich interface landscape based on interactions with formaldehyde, a relevant multifaceted molecule, and more particularly in prebiotic chemistry. This high-throughput method, going beyond techniques traditionally applied in the modeling of minerals, offers new insights into the potential catalytic properties of diverse surfaces, enabling a broader exploration of synthetic pathways in complex mineral systems.

Abstract
Assembling metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into ordered multidimensional porous superstructures promises the encapsulation of enzymes for heterogeneous biocatalysts. However, the full potential of this approach has been limited by the poor stability of enzymes and the uncontrolled assembly of MOF nanoparticles onto suitable supports. In this study, a novel and exceptionally robust Ni-imidazole-based MOF was synthesized in water at room temperature, enabling in situ enzyme encapsulation. Based on this MOF platform, we developed a DNA-directed assembly strategy to achieve the uniform placement of MOF nanoparticles onto bacterial cellulose nanofibers, resulting in a distinctive "branch-fruit" structure. The resulting hybrid materials demonstrated remarkable versatility across various catalytic systems, accommodating natural enzymes, nanoenzymes, and multienzyme cascades, thus showcasing enormous potential as universal microbioreactors. Furthermore, the hierarchical composites facilitated rapid diffusion of the bulky substrate while maintaining the enzyme stability, with ∼3.5-fold higher relative activity compared to the traditional enzyme@MOF immobilized in bacterial cellulose nanofibers.

Abstract
An unprecedented correlation between the catalytic activity of a Zr-based UiO-type metal-organic framework (MOF) and its degree of interpenetration (DOI) is reported. The DOI of an MOF is hard to control owing to the high-energy penalty required to construct a partially interpenetrated structure. Surprisingly, strong interactions between building blocks (inter-ligand hydrogen bonding) facilitate the formation of partially interpenetrated structures under carefully regulated synthesis conditions. Moreover, catalytic conversion rates for cyanosilylation and Knoevenagel condensation reactions are found to be proportional to the DOI of the MOF. Among MOFs with DOIs in the 0-100% range, that with a DOI of 87% is the most catalytically active. Framework interpenetration is known to lower catalytic performance by impeding reactant diffusion. A higher effective reactant concentration due to tight inclusion in the interpenetrated region is possibly responsible for this inverted result.

Abstract
Owing to their high porosity and tunability, porous solids such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), zeolites, or activated carbons (ACs) are of great interest in the fields of air purification, gas separation, and catalysis, among others. Nonetheless, these materials are usually synthetized as powders and need to be shaped in a more practical way that does not modify their intrinsic property (i.e., porosity). Elaborating porous, freestanding and flexible sheets is a relevant shaping strategy. However, when high loadings (>70 wt.%) are achieved the mechanical properties are challenged. A new straightforward and green method involving the combination softwood bleached kraft pulp fibers (S) and nano-fibrillated cellulose (NFC) is reported, where S provides flexibility while NFC acts as a micro-structuring and mechanical reinforcement agent to form high loadings porous solids paper sheets (>70 wt.%). The composite has unobstructed porosity and good mechanical strength. The sheets prepared with various fillers (MOFs, ACs, and zeolites) can be rolled, handled, and adapted to different uses, such as air purification. As an example of potential application, a MOF paper composite has been considered for the capture of polar volatile organic compounds exhibiting better performance than beads and granules.

Abstract
A simple model for functionalized disordered porous media is proposed and the effects of confinement on self-association, percolation and phase behavior of a fluid of patchy particles are studied. The media are formed by randomly distributed hard-sphere obstacles fixed in space and decorated by a certain number of off-center square-well sites. The properties of the fluid of patchy particles, represented by the fluid of hard spheres each bearing a set of the off-center square-well sites, are studied using an appropriate combination of the scaled particle theory for the porous media, Wertheim's thermodynamic perturbation theory, and Flory-Stockmayer theory. To assess the accuracy of the theory a set of computer simulations have been performed. In general, predictions of the theory appeared to be in good agreement with the computer simulation results. Confinement and competition between the formation of bonds connecting the fluid particles, and connecting fluid particles and obstacles of the matrix, gave rise to a re-entrant phase behavior with three critical points and two separate regions of the liquid-gas phase coexistence.

Abstract
Crystalline porous organic salts (CPOSs), formed by the self-assembly of organic acids and organic bases through ionic bonding, possess definite structures and permanent porosity and have rapidly emerged as an important class of porous organic materials in recent years. By rationally designing and controlling tectons, acidity/basicity (pKa), and topology, stable CPOSs with permanent porosity can be efficiently constructed. The characteristics of ionic bonds, charge-separated highly polar nano-confined channels, and permanent porosity endow CPOSs with unique physicochemical properties, offering extensive research opportunities for exploring their functionalities and application scenarios. In this review, we systematically summarize the latest progress in CPOS research, describe the synthetic strategies for synthesizing CPOSs, delineate their structural characteristics, and highlight the differences between CPOSs and hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs). Furthermore, we provide an overview of the potential applications of CPOSs in areas such as negative linear compression (NLC), proton conduction, rapid transport of CO2, selective and rapid transport of K+ ions, atmospheric water harvesting (AWH), gas sorption, molecular rotors, fluorescence modulation, room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) and catalysis. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives of CPOSs are presented.

Abstract
Benzene derivatives in wastewater have negative impacts on ecosystems and human health, making their removal prior to discharge imperative. In this study, Fe3O4@AC-NH2@Cu-opa (AC-NH2 = aminoclay, Cu-opa = [Cu(opa)(bipy)0.5(H2O)]n (H2opa = 3-(4-oxypyridinium-1-yl) phthalic acid)) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized as adsorbent and catalyst for phenolic compound removal from wastewater. Fe3O4@AC-NH2@Cu-opa NPs demonstrated outstanding performance in the adsorption of phenol, exhibiting a remarkable adsorption capacity of up to 166.39 mg g-1 according to the Langmuir model. The composite also exhibited higher Fenton activity toward the degradation of electron-rich organic phenolic pollutants, with a rate approximately 3.4 times higher than that of Fe3O4 alone. The high catalytic activity of the composite was attributed to the large surface area and abundant active sites of the 2D charge-separated Cu-MOF. Meanwhile, the superparamagnetism of the Fe3O4 core enabled magnetic recollection and reuse without any significant loss of activity. Therefore, use of Fe3O4@AC-NH2@Cu-opa/H2O2 shows potential in an efficient method for the removal of phenolic compounds from wastewater.

Abstract
Three novel copper Schiff base complexes, L1Cu(OAc)-L3Cu(OAc), bearing NNO tridentate ligands were synthesized and successfully entrapped in zeolite. All free and encapsulated complexes were fully characterized through experiments combined with theoretical calculations, and were subsequently employed as catalysts to activate H2O2 for degradation of methylene blue (MB). The catalytic activity of free complexes was tunable by substitution effects. The complex L3Cu(OAc) displayed enhanced efficiency by adopting bulky and donor substitutions due to the lower oxidation states. However, the free complexes exhibited modified structural and catalytic properties upon encapsulation into the zeolite. The constraint from the zeolite holes and coordination geometry caused the alteration of electronic structures and subsequently modified the reactivity. This study revealed that upon encapsulation, the larger molecular dimension of L3Cu(OAc) resulted in additional distorted geometry, leading to higher catalytic efficiency for MB degradation with more blue shifts in the UV-Vis spectrum. There was high catalytic activity by LnCu(OAc)-Y compared to that of the free complex, and high recyclability under near neutral conditions. In addition, the catalytic efficiency of L3Cu(OAc)-Y was higher or equivalent compared to other catalysts. This work provides new complexes with NNO tridentate ligands encapsulated inside zeolite and explains the relationship between the modified structure and functionality.

Abstract
Large scale production of green CH3 OH obtained from CO2 and green H2 is a highly wanted process due to the role of CH3 OH as H2 /energy carrier and for producing chemicals. Starting with a short summary of the advantages of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as catalysts in liquid-phase reactions, the present article highlights the opportunities that MOFs may offer also for some gas-phase reactions, particularly for the selective CO2 hydrogenation to CH3 OH. It is commented that there is a temperature compatibility window that combines the thermal stability of some MOFs with the temperature required in the CO2 hydrogenation to CH3 OH that frequently ranges from 250 to 300 °C. The existing literature in this area is briefly organized according to the role of MOF as providing the active sites or as support of active metal nanoparticles (NPs). Emphasis is made to show how the flexibility in design and synthesis of MOFs can be used to enhance the catalytic activity by adjusting the composition of the nodes and the structure of the linkers. The influence of structural defects and material crystallinity, as well as the role that should play theoretical calculations in models have also been highlighted.

Abstract
5-hydroxymethylfurfural represents a key chemical in the drive towards a sustainable circular economy within the chemical industry. The final step in 5-hydroxymethylfurfural production is the acid catalysed dehydration of fructose, for which supported organoacids are excellent potential catalyst candidates. Here we report a range of solid acid catalysis based on sulphonic acid grafted onto different porous silica nanosphere architectures, as confirmed by TEM, N2 porosimetry, XPS and ATR-IR. All four catalysts display enhanced active site normalised activity and productivity, relative to alternative silica supported equivalent systems in the literature, with in-pore diffusion of both substrate and product key to both performance and humin formation pathway. An increase in-pore diffusion coefficient of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural within wormlike and stellate structures results in optimal productivity. In contrast, poor diffusion within a raspberry-like morphology decreases rates of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural production and increases its consumption within humin formation.

Abstract
The synthesis of heterogeneous Ti(IV)-based catalysts for ethylene polymerization following surface organometallic chemistry concepts is described. The unique feature of this catalyst arises from the silica support, KCC-1700. It has (i) a 3D fibrous morphology that is essential to improve the diffusion of the reactants, and (ii) an aluminum-bound hydroxyl group, [(Si-O-Si)(Si-O-)2Al-OH] 2, used as an anchoring site. The [(Si-O-Si)(Si-O-)(Al-O-)TiNp3] 3 catalyst was obtained by reacting 2 with a tetrakis-(neopentyl) titanium TiNp4. The structure of 3 was fully characterized by FT-IR, advanced solid-state NMR spectroscopy [1H, 13C], elemental and gas-phase analysis (ICP-OES and CHNS analysis), and XPS. The benefits of combining these morphological (3D structure) and electronic properties of the support (aluminum plus titanium) were evidenced in ethylene polymerization. The results show a remarkable enhancement in the catalytic performance with the formation of HDPE. Notably, the resulting HDPE displays a molecular weight of 3 200 000 g mol-1 associated with a polydispersity index (PD) of 2.3. Moreover, the effect of the mesostructure (2D vs. 3D) was demonstrated in the catalytic activity for ethylene polymerization.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are proved to be good precursors to derive various nanomaterials with desirable functions, but so far the controllable synthesis of ordered mesoporous derivatives from MOFs has not been achieved. Herein, this work reports, for the first time, the construction of MOF-derived ordered mesoporous (OM) derivatives by developing a facile mesopore-inherited pyrolysis-oxidation strategy. This work demonstrates a particularly elegant example of this strategy, which involves the mesopore-inherited pyrolysis of OM-CeMOF into a OM-CeO2 @C composite, followed by the oxidation removal of its residual carbon, affording the corresponding OM-CeO2 . Furthermore, the good tunability of MOFs helps to allodially introduce zirconium into OM-CeO2 to regulate its acid-base property, thus boosting its catalytic activity for CO2 fixation. Impressively, the optimized Zr-doped OM-CeO2 can achieve above 16 times higher catalytic activity than its solid CeO2 counterpart, representing the first metal oxide-based catalyst to realize the complete cycloaddition of epichlorohydrin with CO2 under ambient temperature and pressure. This study not only develops a new MOF-based platform for enriching the family of ordered mesoporous nanomaterials, but also demonstrates an ambient catalytic system for CO2 fixation.

Abstract
Iron-loaded zeolite (Fe-zeolite) has shown great potential as an efficient catalyst for degrading organic pollutants with high concentrations in the catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) process under mild conditions. Here, 0.4 wt% Lanthanum (La) was added in the 1.0 wt% Fe-ZSM-5 by two-step impregnation method for an enhanced H2O2 utilization efficiency. For a systematical comparison, the CWPO process at 55 °C, where m-cresol with a high concentration of 1000 mg/L as a substrate, was studied over Fe-ZSM-5 and Fe-La-ZSM-5 catalysts. Compared with Fe-ZSM-5, Fe-La-ZSM-5 showed 15% higher H2O2 utilization efficiency with comparable total organic carbon (TOC) removal at around 40%, meanwhile with a 15% reduced metal leaching. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with elemental mapping (EDS), surface acidity analysis by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and NH3-temperature programmed desorption (NH3-TPD), redox property analysis by Raman spectroscopy and H2-temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR) of both catalysts revealed, that the La doped Fe-ZSM-5 can provide an altered surface acidity, a more uniform and evenly dispersed surface Fe species with a promoted reducibility, which effectively promoted the accurate decomposition of H2O2 into the reactive •OH radicals, enhanced the H2O2 utilization efficiency, and increased the catalyst stability. Also, more than 90% conversion was maintained during the continuous experiment for more than 10 consecutive test days under 55 °C without pH adjustment, showing a promising possibility of the Fe-La-ZSM-5 for a practical wastewater treatment process.

Abstract
In the present work, nanocrystalline Zn-MOF-74 is shown to be a heterogeneous catalyst for the acid-catalyzed ring-opening alcoholysis of cyclohexene oxide. The results corroborated that accessible open metal sites within the material are critical conditions (Zn(ii) Lewis acid sites) for this reaction. Zn-MOF-74 was tested at three different temperatures (30, 40, and 50 °C) for the alcoholysis reaction. Furthermore, the cyclohexene oxide conversion was 94% in less than two days. A comparison of the catalytic activity with different crystal sizes of Zn-MOF-74 and the homogenous phase, zinc acetate, was conducted. Zn-MOF-74 exhibited excellent catalytic cyclability for three cycles without losing its activity. The material showed chemical stability by retaining its crystalline structure after the reaction and cyclability process.

Abstract
Azoxy compounds have aroused extensive attention due to their unique biological activities, but the chemical synthesis of these compounds often suffers from limitations due to their requirement for stoichiometric oxidants, high costs, and restricted substrate range. Herein, a series of azoxy compounds were constructed via facile coupling reactions by using cost-effective N-methoxyformamide and nitroso compounds over Cu-based catalysts, affording high product yields with excellent tolerance of functional groups. Significantly, the mesoporous silica nanosphere-encapsulated ultrasmall Cu (Cu@MSN) catalyst was developed via a one-pot synthetic method and first used for the synthesis of azoxy compounds. As compared with copper salt catalysts, the Cu@MSN catalyst exhibited remarkably enhanced catalytic activity and superior recycling stability. Such a Cu@MSN catalyst overcame the inherent drawbacks of low activity, fast deactivation, and difficult recycling of traditional metal salt catalysts in organic reactions. This work provides a green and efficient method for the construction of azoxy compounds and also creates new prospects for the application of nanoporous materials confined metal catalysts in organic synthesis.

Abstract
A cost-effective and convenient method for supporting of Cu(ii) nanoparticles on a modified chitosan backbone containing urea and thiourea bridges using thiosemicarbazide (TS), pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and toluene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI) linkers was designed. The prepared supramolecular (CS-TDI-PMDA-TS-Cu(ii)) nanocomposite was characterized by using Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), thermogravimetry/differential thermogravimetry analysis (TGA/DTA), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), EDS elemental mapping and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The obtained supramolecular CS-TDI-PMDA-TS-Cu(ii) nanomaterial was demonstrated to act as a multifunctional nanocatalyst for promoting of multicomponent cascade Knoevenagel condensation/click 1,3-dipolar azide-nitrile cycloaddition reactions very efficiently between aromatic aldehydes, sodium azide and malononitrile under solvent-free conditions and affording the corresponding (E)-2-(1H-tetrazole-5-yl)-3-arylacrylenenitrile derivatives. Low catalyst loading, working under solvent-free conditions and short reaction time as well as easy preparation and recycling, and reuse of the catalyst for five consecutive cycles without considerable decrease in its catalytic efficiency make it a suitable candidate for the catalytic reactions promoted by Cu species.

Abstract
This study investigated the pore size dependence of the mass transfer of zinc myoglobin (ZnMb) in a single mesoporous silica particle through confocal fluorescence microspectroscopy. The ZnMb's fluorescence depth profile in the particle was analyzed by a spherical diffusion model, and the intraparticle diffusion coefficient was obtained. The intraparticle diffusion coefficient in the silica particle with various pore sizes (10, 15, 30, and 50 nm) was furthermore analyzed based on a pore and surface diffusion model. Although the mass transfer mechanism in all silica particles followed the pore and surface diffusion model, the adsorption and desorption of ZnMb affected the mass transfer depending on the pore size. The influence of the slow desorption of ZnMb became pronounced for large pore sizes (30 and 50 nm), which was revealed by simulation using a diffusion equation combined with the adsorption-desorption kinetics. The distribution of ZnMb was suppressed in small pore sizes (10 and 15 nm) owing to the adsorption of ZnMb onto the entrance of the pore. Thus, we revealed the mass transfer mechanism of ZnMb in the silica particle with different pore sizes.

Abstract
Currently, the construction of heterojunctions as a method to enhance photoelectrochemical (PEC) activity has shown prospective applications in the analytical field. Restricted by carrier separation at the interface, developing a heterojunction sensing platform with high sensitivity remains challenging. Here, a double-photoelectrode PEC sensing platform was fabricated based on an antenna-like strategy by integrating MIL-68(In)-NH2, a p-type metal-organic framework (MOF) photocatalyst, as a photocathode with the type-II heterojunction of CdSe/MgIn2S4 as a photoanode synchronously. According to the ligand-to-metal charge transition (LMCT), the photo-generated carriers of MIL-68(In)-NH2 transferred from the organic ligand to the metal cluster, which provides an efficient antenna-like transfer path for the charge at the heterojunction interface. In addition, the sufficient Fermi energy difference between the double photoelectrode provides the continuous internal driving force required for rapid carrier separation at the anode detection interface, significantly improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency. Hence, compared with the traditional heterojunction single electrode, the photocurrent response of the double-photoelectrode PEC sensing platform developed using the antenna-like strategy is 2.5 times stronger. Based on this strategy, we constructed a PEC biosensor for the detection of programed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). The elaborated PD-L1 biosensor exhibited sensitive and precise detection capability with a detection range of 1 × 10-5 to 1 × 103 ng/mL and a lower detection limit of 3.26 × 10-6 ng/mL and demonstrated the feasibility of serum sample detection, providing a novel and viable approach for the unmet clinical need of PD-L1 quantification. More importantly, the charge separation mechanism at the heterojunction interface proposed in this study provides new creative inspiration for designing sensors with high-sensitivity PEC performance.

Abstract
Trimesic acid-functionalized chitosan (Cs/ECH-TMA) material was prepared through a simple procedure by using inexpensive and commercially available chitosan (Cs), epichlorohydrin (ECH) linker and trimesic acid (TMA). The obtained bio-based Cs/ECH-TMA material was characterized using energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The Cs/ECH-TMA material was successfully used, as a multifunctional heterogeneous and sustainable catalyst, for efficient and expeditious synthesis of medicinally important polyhydroquinoline (PHQ) and polyhydroacridinedione (PHA) scaffolds through the Hantzsch condensation in a one-pot reaction. Indeed, the heterogeneous Cs/ECH-TMA material can be considered as a synergistic multifunctional organocatalyst due to the presence of a large number of acidic active sites in its structure as well as hydrophilicity. Both PHQs and PHAs were synthesized in the presence of biodegradable heterogeneous Cs/ECH-TMA catalytic system from their corresponding substrates in EtOH under reflux conditions and high to quantitative yields. The Cs/ECH-TMA catalyst is recyclable and can be reused at least four times without significant loss of its catalytic activity.

Abstract
The heterogeneous Electro-Fenton (EF) process is a promising wastewater treatment technology that can generate onsite H2O2, and operate in a wide pH range without generating a metal sludge. However, the heterogeneous EF process needs bifunctional cathode electrodes that can have high activity in 2e- oxygen reduction reaction and H2O2 decomposition. Herein, ZnFeV layered double hydroxide (LDH), as a heterogeneous catalyst, was coated on the graphite felt (ZnFeV LDH@GF) cathode using the electrophoretic deposition method. ZnFeV LDH@GF cathode was able to generate 59.8 ± 5.9 mg L-1 H2O2 in 90 min under a constant supply of O2. EF process with ZnFeV LDH@GF cathode exhibited 89.8 ± 6.8% removal efficiency for pharmaceutical (ciprofloxacin) at neutral pH. Remarkably, the apparent reaction rate constant (kapp) of the ZnFeV LDH@GF-EF was 2.14 times that of the EF process with pristine GF. ZnFeV LDH coating increased the hydroxyl radical (•OH) production of the EF process from 1.74 mM to 3.65 mM. The pathway of •OH production is thought to be a single electron transfer from redox couples of Fe2+/Fe3+ and [Formula: see text] to H2O2. After 10 reuse cycles, the ZnFeV LDH@GF cathode retained 90.2% of its efficiency. Eight intermediate compounds were identified by GC-MS including cyclic compounds and aliphatic compounds.
