Article Abstract

The carbonylation of dimethyl ether (DME) with CO is a key step for ethanol synthesis from syngas, but traditional mordenite (MOR) zeolite shows low catalytic stability. Herein, various FER zeolite nanosheets were prepared with four types of organic templates. The catalytic performance of FER in DME carbonylation is strongly dependent on the location of strong acid site in framework, which can be effectively regulated by altering organic template. FER- sample synthesized with morpholine shows the highest DME conversion of 53%, thus, giving a methyl acetate space-time yield (STY) of 0.889 mmol g h. DFT calculation, NH-IR, H/Al/Si MAS NMR, and DRIFTS results indicate that morpholine directs more Al species, or strong Brønsted acid sites (BAS), to locate in 8-membered ring (8-MR) channels, which not only enhances carbonylation activity but also suppresses formation of coke species. The catalytic performance is well maintained within 4 repeated recycles (∼460 h).

Decellularized tissues are used as biomaterials for transplantation. Many decellularized tissues in clinical applications are prepared using surfactants; however, we have developed a new decellularization method that uses subcritical dimethyl ether (DME) instead of surfactants. Subcritical DME perfusion is usually used for lipid extraction; therefore, by perfusing tissues with subcritical DME, phospholipid cell membranes may be destroyed.

Conventional one-dimensional gas chromatography methods for gasoline quality monitoring require separate analyses for different component classes, limiting analytical efficiency and unconventional additive detection. This study presents a comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC × GC-FID) platform enabling simultaneous quantification of regulated components and rapid screening of unconventional additives in a single analytical run. The method achieved excellent agreement with ASTM standards and high repeatability for BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes) and oxygenates in gasoline.

Selective Catalysis-Mediated Interface to Stabilize Antimony Atom-Cluster Anode for Robust Potassium-Ion Batteries.

Controlling the electrode-electrolyte interfacial behavior is crucial for achieving a high-quality solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and ensuring sustainable battery performance. Here, we propose a selective catalysis strategy to stabilize antimony atom-cluster (Sb) anode/electrolyte interface for robust potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Specifically, the electrode featuring Sb in porous carbon (Sb/PC) as "electrocatalyst" unduly catalyzes the reduction of the dimethyl ether-based electrolyte, resulting in loose SEI layer and rapid capacity decay.

A novel aqueous electrolyte incorporating tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (G4) and trace amounts of ZnI (HSG-I) is presented to enhance the sulfur conversion reversibility. G4 improves kinetics, stabilizes the interfaces, and enables uniform zinc deposition. Crucially, G4's ether groups coordinate I, mediating reversible I/I transformation to ensure efficient sulfur redox chemistry.

Alkali Metalation Enables Natural Anthraquinone Derivatives as Sustainable Cathode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Organic electrode materials (OEMs) derived from natural quinones can enable sustainable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) if their dissolution-induced capacity fading in organic electrolytes and their conductivity issues are addressed. It is demonstrated that converting natural anthraquinones (AQs) into organic alkali-metalated salts effectively inhibits their dissolution in aprotic electrolytes. For this purpose, a solubility indicator (ΔMPI) is developed, which reliably guides the selection of compatible OEMs and electrolytes.
