Article Abstract

Hydrogen-bonding-initiated self-association makes the valorization of biomass-based hydroxyl compounds a formidable challenge at high concentration. Apart from enhancing the dehydration reaction of hydroxyl compounds with the noncovalent medium effects, insights into how these effects can be exploited to optimize the oxidative reactivity of concentrated hydroxyl compounds remain unclear. Herein, we elucidate that deaggregation of hydroxyl groups with a catalytic number of hydrogen bond acceptors is essential in improving the reactivity of the aerobic oxidation of biomass-based neat aromatic alcohols over the vanadium-based catalyst. The neat 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) deaggregated with 25 mol % ,-dimethylformamide (DMF) shows a >7-fold increase in reactivity to produce corresponding aldehydes with excellent selectivity, in stark contrast to the contrary deactivation of reaction in excessive DMF.

The turnover of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soil regulated by biodegradable microplastics (MPs) has garnered much attention due to its profound impact on the storage and stability of soil organic matter. However, the transformation and reactivity of plant-derived and microbially derived DOM by microorganisms adapted to biodegradable MPs, and the involved microbial physiological processes, remain nearly unknown. Here, we added virgin and aged polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) to agricultural soils and incubated for 56 days.

Iron is an essential trace element for the human body, but having too much or too little of it can cause various biological issues. When ferrous ions react with hydrogen peroxide, they create highly reactive and soluble hydroxyl radicals that can damage cells through oxidation. This reaction, known as the Fenton reaction, can cause lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis.

Nanozymes, which possess inherent catalytic properties that are akin to those of natural enzymes, have emerged as promising candidates for biomedical innovation. In this work, we successfully synthesize a Co Cu S nanoflower by the solvothermal and soaking method. Fortunately, through cobalt doping and microstructure design, its morphological structure and active sites have been optimized and adjusted, thus bestowing the Co Cu S nanoflower enhanced peroxidase-mimetic activity.

The decontamination of chemical warfare agents or compounds involved in chemical industry incidents poses a significant challenge to environmental protection and human health. These compounds are highly toxic and could be relatively resistant to conventional decontamination methods. In recent years, surfactants have emerged as a promising option, as they can enhance the solubility of organophosphorus compounds in aqueous solutions while promoting their degradation or adsorption onto surfaces.
