2% MWCNT content) was increased from 302 °C to 321.5 °C upon addition of MWCNTs. The effects of different diameters of MWCNTs on the morphology and properties of the PIF/MWCNT composites were also compared. The morphology, thermal stability, and mechanical properties of the composites containing smaller MWCNTs were higher than those of composites containing larger MWCNTs. This is because MWCNTs act as nucleating agents to promote the formation and growth of bubbles. Smaller diameters of MWCNTs lead to higher MWCNT contents in the unit volume and more nucleation points of MWCNTs in the PIF. An increasing MWCNT diameter leads to a gradually decreasing number of bubbling nucleation centers. The LOI of PIF/MWCNTS increased with increasing MWCNT due to the nitrogen heterocyclic interaction between the PIF and MWCNTS. The diameter of MWCNTS had only a minor effect on the flame retardancy.The spontaneous conversion of 3-indoxyl to indigo is a well-established process used to produce indigo dyes. It was recently shown that some indoles, when reacted with molybdenum hexacarbonyl and cumyl peroxide, proceed through an indoxyl intermediate to produce significant amounts of indirubin through a competing mechanism. Modulation of this system to lower temperatures allows for careful tuning, leading to selective production of indirubins in a general process. A systematic assay of indoles show that electron deficient indoles work well when substituted at the 5 and 7 positions. In contrast, 6-substituted electron rich indoles give the best results whereas halogeno indoles work well in all cases. This process shows broad functional group tolerance for generally reactive carbonyl-containing compounds such as aldehydes and carboxylic acids.Typical polyketides consist of C, H, and O atoms, whereas several types of N-containing polyketides are known to show intriguing properties. Because conventional synthetic approaches for such compounds focus on only specific structures, a more general method is desirable. Here, we have developed an iterative synthesis of nitrogen-containing polyketide. Chain elongation of carboxylic acid via decarboxylative Claisen condensation with malonic acid half thioester was iteratively performed to construct carbon frameworks. β-Keto groups formed by the chain elongation were appropriately converted to O-methyl oximes for incorporation of nitrogen atoms. Cyclization of the resulting oxime intermediates followed by reductive N-O cleavage afforded structurally diverse nitrogen-containing polyketides such as 2-pyridone, 4-aminopyrone, and 4-aminosalicylate. This method was finally applied to the synthesis of (R)-6-aminomellein, which is a nitrogen-substituted derivative of bioactive compound, (R)-6-methoxymellein. The versatility of the present method would enable the synthesis of diverse polyketides with nitrogen functional groups, which can be potentially utilized for the development of novel bioactive compounds.Nano-[Fe3O4@SiO2/N-propyl-1-(thiophen-2-yl)ethanimine][ZnCl2] as a nano magnetite Schiff base complex was designed and fully characterized by various analyses such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal gravimetric analysis (DTA), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron micrographs (TEM). The presented nano magnetite Schiff base complex was used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of pyrimido[4,5-b]quinolones by the reaction of aryl aldehyde, dimedone and 6-amino-1,3-dimethyluracil in EtOH  H2O (7  3) as a solvent at 60 °C.In order to study the photoelectric properties of the adsorption of different metal atoms on a two-dimensional (2D) perovskite surface, in this article, we built many models of Ag, Au, and Bi atoms adsorbed on 2D perovskite. We studied the rules influencing 2D perovskite adsorbing metal atoms with different n values (the n value is the number of inorganic layers of 2D perovskite; here n = 1, 2, and 3). Based on n = 2 2D perovskite, we successively used Ag, Au, and Bi metal atoms to adsorb on the 2D perovskite surface. Firstly, we calculated their adsorption energies. Based on the lowest energy principle, we found that Bi atom adsorption on the 2D perovskite surface gave the most stable structure among the three metal adsorptions because the energy of the Bi adsorption system was the smallest. Secondly, the electron transport process takes place from the s to the p orbital when Au and Ag atoms adsorb on the 2D perovskite surface, but in the Bi atom adsorption, the electron transport process takes place from th that the adsorption of metals like Bi on a 2D perovskite surface as an electrode is conducive to improving the charge transport performance.Low dark current density plays a key role in determining the overall performance of perovskite photodetectors (PPDs). To achieve this goal, a hole transport layer (HTL) on the ITO side and a hole blocking layer (HBL) on the metal electrode side are commonly introduced in PPDs. Unlike traditional approaches, we realized a high-performance solution-processed broadband PPD using metal oxide (MO) nanoparticles (NPs) as the HBL on the ITO electrode and PC61BM as another HBL on the metal electrode side to reduce the device dark current. The PPDs based on TiO2 and SnO2 NP-modified layers show similar device performances at -0.5 V a greater than 105 on/off ratio; over 100 dB linear dynamic range (LDR) under different visible light illumination; around 0.2 A W-1 responsivity (R); greater than 1012 jones detectivity (D*); and ∼20 μs rise time of the device. The MO NP interfacial layer can significantly suppress charge injection in the dark, while the accumulated photogenerated charges at the interface between the MO layer and the perovskite layer introduce band bending, leading to dramatically increased current under illumination. Therefore, the dark current density of the devices is significantly reduced and the optical gain is drastically enhanced. However, after UV illumination, the dark current of the TiO2 device dramatically increases while the dark current of the SnO2 device can stay the same as before since the UV illumination-induced conductivity and barrier height changes in the TiO2 layer cannot recover after removing the UV irradiation. These results indicate that the TiO2 NP layer is suitable for making a vis-NIR photodetector, while the SnO2 NP layer is a good candidate for UV-vis-NIR photodetectors. The facile solution-processed high-performance perovskite photodetector using MO NP-modified ITO is highly compatible with low cost, flexible, and large-area electronics.Bio-electro-Fenton (BEF) systems have been potentially studied as a promising technology to achieve environmental organic pollutants degradation and bioelectricity generation. The BEF systems are interesting and constantly expanding fields of science and technology. These emerging technologies, coupled with anodic microbial metabolisms and electrochemical Fenton's reactions, are considered suitable alternatives. Recently, great attention has been paid to BEFs due to special features such as hydrogen peroxide generation, energy saving, high efficiency and energy production, that these features make BEFs outstanding compared with the existing technologies. Despite the advantages of this technology, there are still problems to consider including low production of current density, chemical requirement for pH adjustment, iron sludge formation due to the addition of iron catalysts and costly materials used. This review has described the general features of BEF system, and introduced some operational parameters affecting the performance of BEF system. In addition, the results of published researches about the degradation of persistent organic pollutants and real wastewaters treatment in BEF system are presented. Some challenges and possible future prospects such as suitable methods for improving current generation, selection of electrode materials, and methods for reducing iron residues and application over a wide pH range are also given. Thus, the present review mainly revealed that BEF system is an environmental friendly technology for integrated wastewater treatment and clean energy production.Nowadays, large numbers of MoFe proteins have been reported and their crystal data obtained by X-ray crystallography and uploaded to the Protein Data Bank (PDB). By big data analysis using a bond valence method, we make conclusions based on 79 selected PN in all 119 P-clusters of 53 MoFe proteins and 10 P-clusters of 5 VFe proteins from all deposited crystallographic data of the PDB. In the condition of MoFe protein crystals, the resting state PN clusters are proposed to have the formal oxidation state of 2Fe(iii)6Fe(ii), hiding two oxidized electron holes with high electron delocalization. The calculations show that Fe1, Fe2, Fe5, Fe6 and Fe7 perform unequivocally as Fe2+, and Fe3 is remarkably prone to Fe(iii), while Fe4 and Fe8 have different degrees of mixed valences. For PN clusters in VFe protein crystals, Fe1, Fe2, Fe4, Fe5 and Fe6 tend to be Fe2+, but the electron distributions rearrange with Fe7 and Fe8 being more oxidized mixed valences, and Fe3 presenting a little more reductive mixed valence than that in MoFe proteins. In terms of spatial location, Fe3 and Fe6 in P-clusters of MoFe proteins are calculated as the most oxidized and reduced irons, which have the shortest distances from homocitrate in the FeMo-cofactor and [Fe4S4] cluster, respectively, and thus could function as potential electron transport sites. This work shows different electron distributions of PN clusters in Mo/VFe protein crystals, from those obtained from previous data from solution with excess reducing agent from which it was concluded that PN clusters are all ferrous according to Mössbauer and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra.The water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) plays a pivotal role in many important industrial processes as well as in the elimination of residual CO in feed gas for fuel cells. The development of a high-efficiency low-temperature WGSR (LT-WGSR) catalyst has attracted considerable attention. Herein, we report a ZnO-modified Cu-based nanocatalyst (denoted as Cu@ZnO/Al2O3) obtained via an in situ topological transformation from a Cu2Zn1Al-layered double hydroxide (Cu2Zn1Al-LDH) precursor at different reduction temperatures. The optimal Cu@ZnO/Al2O3-300R catalyst with appropriately abundant Cu@ZnO interface structure shows superior catalytic performance toward the LT-WGSR with a reaction rate of up to 19.47 μmolCO gcat -1 s-1 at 175 °C, which is ∼5 times larger than the commercial Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst. (Z)-4-Hydroxytamoxifen clinical trial High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) proves that the reduction treatment results in the coverage of Cu nanoparticles by ZnO overlayers induced by a strong metal-support interaction (SMSI). Furthermore, the generation of the coating layers of ZnO structure is conducive to stabilize Cu nanoparticles, accounting for long-term stability under the reaction conditions and excellent start/stop cycle of the Cu@ZnO/Al2O3-300R catalyst. This study provides a high-efficiency and low-cost Cu-based catalyst for the LT-WGSR and gives a concrete example to help understand the role of Cu@ZnO interface structure in dominating the catalytic activity and stability toward WGSR.
