Article Abstract
Herein, we present a simple approach to fabricate protein nanoconstructs by complexing cytochrome (Cyt ) with silk nanofibrils (SNF) and choline dihydrogen phosphate ionic liquid (IL). The peroxidase activity of the IL modified Cyt nanoconstruct (Cyt + SNF + IL) increased significantly (2.5 to 10-fold) over unmodified Cyt and showed enhanced catalytic activity and stability under harsh conditions, proving its potential as a suitable protein packaging strategy.

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been gaining increasing focus in a variety of applications including emerging electric-propulsion concepts. A quantitative understanding of how IL ions fragment during high-energy collisions with background gases is therefore essential for interpreting mass spectra, predicting ion lifetimes in plasma and vacuum environments, and designing IL-based technologies. This work uses molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with a reactive force field to numerically model the collision-induced dissociation (CID) of isolated ions (both positive and negative) and ion clusters (2:1 and 1:2 clusters) of the prototypical ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIM-BF), colliding with a nitrogen (N) molecule, exploring all possible fragmentation channels arising from the breaking of both ionic and covalent bonds at collision energies ranging from 10 electron volts (eV) to 100 electron volts (eV) in the laboratory frame.

This article presents an advanced iteration of the polyoxometalate (POM)-Ionosolv concept to generate biobased methyl formate in high yield and a bleached cellulose pulp from lignocellulosic biomass in a single-step operation by using redox-balanced POM catalysts and molecular oxygen in alcoholic ionic liquid (IL) mixtures. The performance of the three Ionosolv-ILs triethylammonium hydrogen sulfate ([TEA][HSO]), N,N-dimethylbutylammonium hydrogen sulfate ([DMBA][HSO4]), and tributylmethylphosphonium methyl sulfate ([TBMP][MeSO]), mixed with methanol (MeOH) (30/70 wt%), is evaluated by methyl formate yield from extracted hemicellulose and lignin as well as purity of the bleached cellulose pulp in the presence of various Keggin-type POMs. The redox-balanced HPVMnMoO POM catalyst in [TBMP][MeSO]/MeOH emerge as the most effective combination, achieving 20% methyl formate yield from commercial beech wood.

Ionic liquids (ILs) are a class of organic salts with melting points below 100°C. Owing to their unique chemical and physical properties, they are used as solvents and catalysts in various chemical transformations, progressively replacing common volatile organic solvents (VOCs) in green synthetic applications. However, their intrinsic ionic nature can restrict the use of mass spectrometric techniques to monitor the time progress of a reaction occurring in an IL medium, thus preventing one from following the formation of the reaction products or intercepting the reaction intermediates.

The study of electrochemical oxidations has wide-ranging implications, from the development of new electrocatalysts for fuel cells for energy conversion, to the synthesis of fine chemicals. 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) has been used for decades as a sustainable, metal-free mediator for chemical oxidations and is now being used for electrochemical oxidations. We describe here a novel approach to TEMPO-mediated electrooxidations, in which the chemical input and waste generated during electrooxidations of alcohols are minimized by using a multifunctional room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) to facilitate flow electrosynthesis.

The crystallization behavior of ionic liquids (ILs) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium [BMIM] hexafluorophosphate [PF] and chloride [Cl] is investigated upon confinement in 2.3 or 8.2 nm diameter silica nanopore arrays, along with the effects of covalently modifying the pore walls with 1-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)3-methylimidazolium [TMS-MIM] groups.
