Abstract
Metal-oxo clusters hold great potential in several fields such as catalysis, materials science, energy storage, medicine, and biotechnology. These nanoclusters of transition metals with oxygen-based ligands have also shown promising reactivity towards several classes of biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, nucleotides, sugars, and lipids. This reactivity can be leveraged to address some of the most pressing challenges we face today, from fighting various diseases, such as cancer and viral infections, to the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources. For instance, metal-oxo clusters and related materials have been shown to be effective catalysts for biomass conversion into renewable fuels and platform chemicals. Furthermore, their reactivity towards biomolecules has also attracted interest in the development of inorganic drugs and bioanalytical tools. Additionally, the structural versatility of metal-oxo clusters allows for the efficiency and selectivity of the biomolecular reactions they promote to be readily tuned, thereby providing a pathway towards reaction optimization. The properties of the catalyst can also be improved through incorporation into solid supports or by linking metal-oxo clusters together to form Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), which have been demonstrated to be powerful heterogeneous catalysts. Therefore, this review aims to provide a comprehensive and critical analysis of the state of the art on biomolecular transformations promoted by metal-oxo clusters and their applications, with a particular focus on structure-activity relationships.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 242:124970.

Abstract
Conversion of renewable lignin into bio-aromatic chemicals offers a sustainable pathway to increase biorefinery profitability. However, the catalytic transformation of lignin into monomers remains a highly challenging task due to the complexity and stability of the lignin structure. In this study, a series of micellar molybdovanadophosphoric polyoxometalate (POM) catalysts, (CTA)nH5-nPMo10V2O40 (n = 1-5), were prepared by the ion exchange method and applied as oxidative catalysts for birch lignin depolymerization. These catalysts showed efficient cleavage of C-O/C-C bonds in lignin, and the introduction of an amphiphilic structure facilitated the generation of monomer products. The best catalytic activity was observed at 150 °C within 150 min under a 1.5 MPa oxygen atmosphere over (CTA)1H4PMo10V2O40, which yielded a maximum lignin oil yield of 48.7 % and lignin monomer yield of 13.5 %. We also employed phenolic and nonphenolic lignin dimer model compounds to explore the reaction pathway and demonstrated the selective cleavage of CC and/or CO lignin bonds. Moreover, these micellar catalysts have excellent recyclability and stability as heterogeneous catalysts, which can be used up to five times. The application of amphiphilic polyoxometalate catalysts facilitates the valorization of lignin, and we expect to develop a novel and practical strategy for harvesting aromatic compounds.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 441:129949. [PMID: 36113346 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2022] [Revised: 09/01/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Soil amendment products, such as biochar, with both sustained nutrient release and heavy metal retention properties are of great need in agricultural and environmental industries. Herein, we successfully prepared a new biochar material with multinutrient sustained-release characteristics and chromium removal potential derived from distiller grain by wet-process phosphoric acid (WPPA) modification without washing. SEM, TEM TG-IR, in situ DRIFTS and XRD characterization indicated that biochar and polyphosphate formed simultaneously and were tightly intertwined by one-step pyrolysis. The optimal product (PKBC-400) had the most stable carbon structure and an adequate P-O-P structure with less P loss. Batch experiments illustrated that 92.83% P (ortho-P), 85.94% K, 41.49% Fe, 78.42% Al and 65.60% Mg were continuously released in water from PKBC-400 within 63 days, and the maximum Cr removal rate reached 83.57% (50 mg/L K2Cr2O7, pH=3.0) with an increased BET surface area (304.0557 m2/g) after nutrient release. SEM, IC and 31P NMR analyses revealed that the dissolution and hydrolysis of polyphosphates not only realized the sustained release of multiple nutrients but also significantly improved the sustained release performance. The proposed resource utilization strategy provided new ideas for Cr hazard control, biomass waste utilization and fertilizer development.

Abstract
Investigations were launched under atmospheres of different N2/CO2 ratios for thermo-degradation of lignocellulosic biomass and its chlorinated derivative that typically contains 10 wt.% poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) over thermogravimetric analysis. Two degradation stages were found where CO2 was inert in stage one but changed to be reactive in stage two. Lignocellulosics were less reactive than their chlorinated derivatives. Non-isothermal thermogravimetric data were used for evaluating kinetics using Ozawa-Flynn-Wall and Vyazovkin methods. The values of apparent activation energy in stage one were 200-250 kJ/mol with less variance but varied greatly in stage two for different scenarios concerning CO2 proportion and PVC presence. These values were used to determine the reaction mechanism of each stage by master-plots method. Most processes were kinetically characterized by diffusion and reaction order models. The results afford a theoretical groundwork for the resourceful utilization of lignocellulosics derived from municipal activities and the development of their thermochemical conversion systems.

Abstract
This review highlighted the developments of safe, effective, economic, and environmental friendly catalytic technologies to transform lignocellulosic biomass into the activated carbon (AC). In the photocatalysis applications, this AC can further be used as a support material. The limits of AC productions raised by energy assumption and product selectivity have been uplifted to develop sustainable carbon of the synthesis process, where catalytic conversion is accounted. The catalytic treatment corresponding to mild condition provided a bulk, mesoporous, and nanostructure AC materials. These characteristics of AC materials are necessary for the low energy and efficient photocatalytic system. Due to the excellent oxidizing characteristics, cheapness, and long-term stability, semiconductor materials have been used immensely in photocatalytic reactors. However, in practical, such conductors lead to problems with the separation steps and loss of photocatalytic activity. Therefore, proper attention has been given to develop supported semiconductor catalysts and certain matrixes of carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, carbon microspheres, carbon nanofibers, carbon black, and activated carbons have been recently considered and reported. AC has been reported as a potential support in photocatalytic systems because it improves the transfer rate of the interface charge and lowers the recombination rate of holes and electrons.
