Abstract
Mechanochemical strategies are widely used in various fields, ranging from friction and wear to mechanosynthesis, yet how the mechanical stress activates the chemical reactions at the electronic level is still open. We used first-principles density functional theory to study the rule of the stress-modified electronic states in transmitting mechanical energy to trigger chemical responses for different mechanochemical systems. The electron density redistribution among initial, transition, and final configurations is defined to correlate the energy evolution during reactions. We found that stress-induced changes in electron density redistribution are linearly related to activation energy and reaction energy, indicating the transition from mechanical work to chemical reactivity. The correlation coefficient is defined as the term "interface reactivity coefficient" to evaluate the susceptibility of chemical reactivity to mechanical action for material interfaces. The study may shed light on the electronic mechanism of the mechanochemical reactions behind the fundamental model as well as the mechanochemical phenomena.

Abstract
A general and modular protocol is reported for olefin difunctionalization through mechanochemistry, facilitated by cooperative radical ligand transfer (RLT) and electron catalysis. Utilizing mechanochemical force and catalytic amounts of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxyl (TEMPO), ferric nitrate can leverage nitryl radicals, transfer nitrooxy-functional group via RLT, and mediate an electron catalysis cycle under room temperature. A diverse range of activated and unactivated alkenes exhibited chemo- and regioselective 1,2-nitronitrooxylation under solvent-free or solvent-less conditions, showcasing excellent functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies indicated a significant impact of mechanochemistry and highlighted the radical nature of this nitrative difunctionalization process.

Abstract
It has become necessary to develop effective strategies to prevent and reduce water pollution as a result of the increase in dangerous pollutants in water reservoirs. Consequently, there is a need to design new catalyst materials to promote the efficiency of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in the field of wastewater treatment plant to ensure the mineralization of trace organic contaminants. A notable approach gaining attention involves the coupling of sulfate radicals-based AOPs to photocatalysis or electrocatalysis processes, aiming to achieve the complete removal of refractory contaminants into water and carbon dioxide. Titanium dioxide as metal oxide has received great attention for its catalytic application in water purification. TiO2 catalysts offer a multitude of advantages in AOPs. They are characterized by their high photocatalytic activity under both ultraviolet and visible light, making them environmentally friendly due to the absence of toxic byproducts during oxidation. Their versatility is remarkable, finding utility in various AOPs, from photocatalysis to photo-Fenton processes. TiO2's durability ensures long-lasting catalytic activity, which is crucial for continuous treatment processes, and their cost-effectiveness is particularly advantageous. Furthermore, their chemical stability allows it to withstand varying pH conditions. However, the large band gap energy and low electrical conductivity hinder the catalytic reaction effectiveness. This review aims to examine various approaches to enhance the catalytic performance of titanium dioxide, with the objective of enabling more efficient water purification methods.

Abstract
In this work, the functionalized covalent organic framework (COF) was prepared via a convenient ball milling process. The aldehyde group terminated COF-F reacted with amino thiadiazole in the ball milling jar under mechanical forces; hence, the thiadiazole functionalized COF-F was obtained and denoted as Thdz@COF-F. The as-prepared Thdz@COF-F serves as an oil-based lubricant additive and exhibits remarkable tribological properties, which can reduce the average friction coefficient of base oil from 0.169 to 0.102 and decrease the wear volume by 87.0%. The antifriction and antiwear performances are mainly due to the repairing effect of Thdz@COF-F nanoparticles and the protective tribo-film that averts the direct contact of friction pairs. In addition, through the ball milling method, triazole and thiazole functionalized COF-F were also prepared and represented good lubrication performance, demonstrating the feasibility of this mechanochemical synthesis method for functionalized COFs.

Abstract
There is experimental evidence that solid mixtures of the rhodium dimer [Cp*RhCl2]2 and benzo[h] quinoline (BHQ) produce two different polymorphic molecular cocrystals called 4α and 4β under ball milling conditions. The addition of NaOAc to the mixture leads to the formation of the rhodacycle [Cp*Rh-(BHQ)Cl], where the central Rh atom retains its tetracoordinate character. Isolate 4β reacts with NaOAc leading to the same rhodacycle while isolate 4α does not under the same conditions. We show that the puzzling difference in reactivity between the two cocrystals can be traced back to fundamental aspects of the intermolecular interactions between the BHQ and [Cp*RhCl2]2 fragments in the crystalline environment. To support this view, we report a number of descriptors of the nature and strength of chemical bonds and intermolecular interactions in the extended solids and in a cluster model. We calculate formal quantum mechanical descriptors based on electronic structure, electron density, and binding and interaction energies including an energy decomposition analysis. Without exception, all descriptors point to 4β being a transient structure higher in energy than 4α with larger local and global electrophilic and nucleophilic powers, a more favorable spatial and energetic distribution of the frontier orbitals, and a more fragile crystal structure.

Abstract
Proton-conducting materials play an important role as solid electrolytes in electrochemical devices for energy storage and conversion, including proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent-organic frameworks (COFs) and more recently hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) have emerged as useful crystalline platforms for proton transport that provide high conductivity and enable insight into conduction pathways. Here, we present two new HOFs with high conductivity, reaching 2 × 10-2 S cm-1 at 60 °C and 75% relative humidity, obtained in reactions that represent a new class of reversible transformations of solids. The reactions are induced by solvent-free mechanochemistry and involve breaking of coordination linkages in a MOF and formation of extended hydrogen-bonded networks of metal-HOFs (MHOFs). This unprecedented class of MOF-to-MHOF transformations has been demonstrated using a non-conductive MOF (JUK-1) and formamidinium or methylammonium thiocyanates as solid reactants. Structural details of the solid-state reactions are revealed by powder X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinements for the MHOF products. None of the attempts using conventional methods were successful in obtaining the MHOFs, emphasizing a unique role of mechanochemical stimuli in the reactivity of supramolecular polymer solids, including crystalline MOFs and HOFs. The reversible nature of non-covalent interactions in such materials may be utilized for the development of healable polymer systems.

Abstract
Experimental studies of the degradation of two ribonucleosides (guanosine and uridine) were carried out by making use of mechanochemistry. Mechanochemical experiments reveal the decomposition of guanosine and uridine, promoted by nickel(II) and carbonate ions, into guanine and uracil, respectively. These nucleobases were identified by HPLC and 1H NMR spectroscopy (this applied only to uracil). Additionally, density-functional theory (DFT) methodologies were used to probe the energetic viability of several degradation pathways, including in the presence of the abovementioned ions. Three mechanisms were analysed via ribose ring-opening: dry, single-molecule water-assisted, and metal-assisted, wherein the last two mechanisms confirmed the mechanochemical degradation of both ribonucleosides into respective nucleobase moieties. These results can contribute to an astrobiological interpretation of the extraterrestrial sample's contents.

Abstract
Crosslinking chemistries occupy an important position in polymer modification with a particular importance when triggered in response to external stimuli. Enediyne (EDY) moieties are used as functional entities in this work, known to undergo a pericyclic Bergman cyclization (BC) to induce a triggered crosslinking of polyurethanes (PU) via the intermediately formed diradicals. Diamino-EDYs, where the distance between the enyne-moieties is known to be critical to induce a BC, are placed repetitively as main-chain structural elements in isophorone-based PUs to induce reinforcement upon heating, compression, or stretching. A 7-day compression under room temperature results in a ≈69% activation of the BC, together with the observation of an increase in tensile strength by 62% after 25 stretching cycles. The occurrence of BC is further proven by the decreased exothermic values in differential scanning calorimetry, together with characteristic peaks of the formed benzene moieties via IR spectroscopy. Purely heat-induced crosslinking contributes to 191% of the maximum tensile strength in comparison to the virgin PU. The BC herein forms an excellent crosslinking strategy, triggered by heat or force in PU materials.

Abstract
Wear of sliding contacts causes device failure and energy costs; however, the microscopic principle in activating wear of the interfaces under stress is still open. Here, the typical nanoscale wear, in the case of silicon against silicon dioxide, is investigated by single-asperity wear experiments and density functional theory calculations. The tests demonstrate that the wear rate of silicon in ambient air increases exponentially with stress and does not obey classical Archard's law. Series calculations of atomistic wear reactions generally reveal that the mechanical stress linearly drives the electron transfer to activate the sequential formation and rupture of interfacial bonds in the atomistic wear process. The atomistic wear model is thus resolved by combining the present stress-driven electron transfer model with Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics. This work may advance electronic insights into the law of nanoscale wear for understanding and controlling wear and manufacturing of material surfaces.

Abstract
The use of mechanical forces at the molecular level has been shown to be an interesting tool for modulating different chemical and physical molecular properties. The so-called covalent mechanochemistry deals with the application of precise mechanical forces that induce specific changes in the structure, stability, reactivity, and other physical properties. The use of this kind of force to modulate photophysical properties and photochemical reactivity has also been studied. Nevertheless, the general problem of mechanical modulation of the energy gap between two electronic states has been addressed only with the development of simple theoretical models. Here, we develop and implement an algorithm providing the Largest energy Gap variation with Minimal mechanical Force (LGMF) that allows the determination of the optimal mechanical forces tuning the electronic energy gap, as well as to identify the maximum mechanical response of a molecular system to the application of any mechanical stimulus. The algorithm has been implemented for diverse molecular systems showing different degrees of flexibility. The phyton code of the algorithm is available in a public repository.

Abstract
Flexible piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) have gained substantial attention owing to their wearability, breathability, and sustainable self-powered supply. However, existing film PEHs cannot identify forces in different bending directions, limiting their applications in wearable electronics and artificial intelligence. This study constructs a fabric PEH for the first time by introducing piezoelectric anisotropic BaTi2 O5 nanorods (BT2-nr) into piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibers with a bi-oriented architecture, in which BT2-nr uniformly aligns in the PVDF nanofiber during electrospinning. The dual-orientation feature endows the flexible PEH with anisotropy, which can sensitively identify the forces at different bending directions (e.g., bent vertically, parallelly, or twisted by 45° along the fiber orientations). Simultaneously, the composite PVDF/BT2 PEH containing 15 wt.% BT2-nr delivers an optimal piezoelectric output of 31.2 V with a high sensitivity of 5.22 V N-1 . The developed anisotropic PEH can be used as a self-powered pressure sensor for multimodal intelligent biomonitoring of human movement. This study provides a feasible strategy for fabricating self-powered flexible PEHs with high electromechanical conversion efficiency and multifunctionality for wearable piezoelectric pressure sensors.

Strategies for tailoring fiber morphology have been the primary focus for realizing enhanced piezoelectric output. However, the relationship between piezoelectric performance and fiber structure remains unclear. This study fabricates PVDF hollow fibers through coaxial electrospinning, whose wall thickness can be tuned by changing the internal solution concentration. Simulation analysis demonstrates an increased effective deformation of the hollow fiber as enlarging inner diameter, resulting in enhanced piezoelectric output, which is in excellent agreement with the experimental results. This study is the first to unravel the influence mechanism of morphology regulation of a PVDF hollow fiber on its piezoelectric performance from both simulation and experimental aspects. The optimal PVDF hollow fiber piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) delivers a piezoelectric output voltage of 32.6 V, ≈3 times that of the solid PVDF fiber PEH. Furthermore, the electrical output of hollow fiber PEH can be stably stored in secondary energy storage systems to power microelectronics. This study highlights an efficient approach for reconciling the simulation and tailoring the fiber PEH morphology for enhanced performances for future self-powered systems.

Abstract
Mechanochemical synthesis of ordered mesoporous carbons with tunable mesopores and well-developed irregular microporosity is investigated. This synthesis was carried out by the self-assembly of ecofriendly chemicals such as tannin and glyoxal used as carbon precursors, and triblock copolymer as a soft templating agent. The structural properties of the resulting carbons were tailored by using different block copolymers (Pluronic F127, and P123) as soft templates. The various weight ratios of tannin and block copolymer were employed to tune the textural properties of these carbons. The tannin: Pluronic F127 ratios (1:0.75, 1:1, 1:1.1) gave the ordered mesoporous carbons among a wide variety of the samples studied. The ordered mesoporosity was not observed in the case of Pluronic P123 templated mesoporous carbons. The CO2-activated carbon samples obtained for both Pluronic templates showed a high specific surface area (close to 900 m2/g), large pore volume (about 0.6-0.7 cm3g-1), narrow pore size distribution, and high CO2 uptake of about 3.0 mmol g-1 at 1 bar pressure and ambient temperature.

Abstract
The many pollutants detected in water represent a global environmental issue. Emerging and persistent organic pollutants are particularly difficult to remove using traditional treatment methods. Electro-oxidation and sulfate-radical-based advanced oxidation processes are innovative removal methods for these contaminants. These approaches rely on the generation of hydroxyl and sulfate radicals during electro-oxidation and sulfate activation, respectively. In addition, hybrid activation, in which these methods are combined, is interesting because of the synergistic effect of hydroxyl and sulfate radicals. Hybrid activation effectiveness in pollutant removal can be influenced by various factors, particularly the materials used for the anode. This review focuses on various organic pollutants. However, it focuses more on pharmaceutical pollutants, particularly paracetamol, as this is the most frequently detected emerging pollutant. It then discusses electro-oxidation, photocatalysis and sulfate radicals, highlighting their unique advantages and their performance for water treatment. It focuses on perovskite oxides as an anode material, with a particular interest in calcium copper titanate (CCTO), due to its unique properties. The review describes different CCTO synthesis techniques, modifications, and applications for water remediation.

Abstract
Two positional isomers, 4-amino-3-methylpyridine and 3-amino-5-methylpyridine, produce 4-amino-3-methylpyridinium and 5-methylpyridin-3-aminium, respectively, under acidic conditions. The two protonated isomers create different hydrogen bonding networks, resulting in different coordination environments of the [MnX4]2- unit embedded in molecular compounds such as 4-amino-3-methylpyridinium manganese bromide, [(C6H9N2)2MnBr4] and 5-methylpyridin-3-aminium manganese bromide, [(C6H9N2)4MnBr4(H2O)·(MnBr4)]. Both compounds can be prepared using the slow evaporation method or mechanochemical synthetic procedures. Single-crystal structure analysis of [(C6H9N2)2MnBr4] and [(C6H9N2)4MnBr4(H2O)·(MnBr4)] revealed different manganese halide units, including tetrahedral and tetrahedral with distorted trigonal bipyramidal structures, which emit photoluminescence in the green (527 nm) and red (607 nm) regions, respectively. Electronic structure calculations were conducted to support the validity and interpretation of the UV-vis and photoluminescence (PL) spectral data. Thin films deposited using the [(C6H9N2)2MnBr4] precursor also exhibit PL properties. The diverse pseudo-three-dimensional networks can be constructed by using positional isomers with different hydrogen bonding pathways and π-π stacking of organic units, in which the design strategy successfully enables the tuning of various optical properties.

Abstract
Ultrasounds are commonly used in medical imaging, solution homogenization, navigation, and ranging, but they are also a great energy source for chemical reactions. Sonochemistry uses ultrasounds and thus realizes one of the basic concepts of green chemistry, i.e., energy savings. Moreover, reduced reaction time, mostly using water as a solvent, and better product yields are among the many factors that make ultrasound-induced reactions greener than those performed under conventional conditions. Sonochemistry has been successfully implemented for the preparation of various materials; this review covers sonochemically synthesized nanoporous materials. For instance, sonochemical-assisted methods afforded ordered mesoporous silicas, spherical mesoporous silicas, periodic mesoporous organosilicas, various metal oxides, biomass-derived activated carbons, carbon nanotubes, diverse metal-organic frameworks, and covalent organic frameworks. Among these materials, highly porous samples have also been prepared, such as garlic peel-derived activated carbon with an apparent specific surface area of 3887 m2/g and MOF-177 with an SSA of 4898 m2/g. Additionally, many of them have been examined for practical usage in gas adsorption, water treatment, catalysis, and energy storage-related applications, yielding satisfactory results.

Exploring the Multifunctionality of Mechanochemically Synthesized γ-Alumina with Incorporated Selected Metal Oxide Species. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28052002. [PMID: 36903248 PMCID: PMC10004189 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28052002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 02/18/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2023] Open
Abstract
γ-Alumina with incorporated metal oxide species (including Fe, Cu, Zn, Bi, and Ga) was synthesized by liquid-assisted grinding-mechanochemical synthesis, applying boehmite as the alumina precursor and suitable metal salts. Various contents of metal elements (5 wt.%, 10 wt.%, and 20 wt.%) were used to tune the composition of the resulting hybrid materials. The different milling time was tested to find the most suitable procedure that allowed the preparation of porous alumina incorporated with selected metal oxide species. The block copolymer, Pluronic P123, was used as a pore-generating agent. Commercial γ-alumina (SBET = 96 m2·g-1), and the sample fabricated after two hours of initial grinding of boehmite (SBET = 266 m2·g-1), were used as references. Analysis of another sample of γ-alumina prepared within 3 h of one-pot milling revealed a higher surface area (SBET = 320 m2·g-1) that did not increase with a further increase in the milling time. So, three hours of grinding time were set as optimal for this material. The synthesized samples were characterized by low-temperature N2 sorption, TGA/DTG, XRD, TEM, EDX, elemental mapping, and XRF techniques. The higher loading of metal oxide into the alumina structure was confirmed by the higher intensity of the XRF peaks. Samples synthesized with the lowest metal oxide content (5 wt.%) were tested for selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3 (NH3-SCR). Among all tested samples, besides pristine Al2O3 and alumina incorporated with gallium oxide, the increase in reaction temperature accelerated the NO conversion. The highest NO conversion rate was observed for Fe2O3-incorporated alumina (70%) at 450 °C and CuO-incorporated alumina (71%) at 300 °C. The CO2 capture was also studied for synthesized samples and the sample of alumina with incorporated Bi2O3 (10 wt.%) gave the best result (1.16 mmol·g-1) at 25 °C, while alumina alone could adsorb only 0.85 mmol·g-1 of CO2. Furthermore, the synthesized samples were tested for antimicrobial properties and found to be quite active against Gram-negative bacteria, P. aeruginosa (PA). The measured Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values for the alumina samples with incorporated Fe, Cu, and Bi oxide (10 wt.%) were found to be 4 µg·mL-1, while 8 µg·mL-1 was obtained for pure alumina.

Abstract
Converting poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has emerged as a promising innovation for upcycling of waste plastics. However, previous solvothermal methods suffer from toxic solvent consumption, long reaction time, high pressure, and high temperature. Herein, a mechanochemical milling strategy was reported to transform waste PET into a series of MOFs with high yields. This strategy had the merits of solvent-free conditions, ambient reaction temperature, short running time, and easy scale-up for large-scale production of MOFs. The as-prepared MOFs exhibited definite crystal structure and porous morphology composed of agglomerated nanoparticles. It was proven that, under mechanochemical milling, PET was firstly decomposed into 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, which acted as linkers to coordinate with metal ions for forming fragments, followed by the gradual arrangement of fragments into MOFs. This work not only promotes high value-added conversion of waste polyesters but also offers a new opportunity to produce MOFs in a green and scalable manner.

Abstract
Targeting sustainable and eco-friendly polymer synthesis, we demonstrate here a synergistically catalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) induced and controlled by interplay between ball milling (BM) and piezoelectric nanoparticles (piezoNPs). BM-induced electron transfer can be achieved through piezoNPs deformation under impact force, serving as an external stimulus to mediate polymerization. The ppm level of copper loading is sufficient in fabrication of a polymer with well-defined molecular weight and low polydispersity. High-molecular-weight polymers ranging from 33 to 74 kDa were prepared successfully through DMSO-assisted grinding. Besides, its good performance on availability of water as liquid-assisted grinding additive, the recyclability of piezoNPs, and the formation of cross-linker-free composite resin make our ATRP approach a green and practical option alongside the existent heat-, electro-, and photo-induced methods.

Abstract
With the intention to abate the pollution arising from the improper handling of petroleum-based plastic, green composites consisting of biodegradable plastics and biomass wastes have received widespread attention. However, the balance between mechanical performance and biodegradability still has not been reconciled and evaluated. Herein, a concept for water-soluble poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/biomass waste composite materials is proposed. Instead of degrading to small molecules, the PVA matrix can dissolve in water within the soil. Moreover, after PVA was composited with waste cottonseed shell (CTS) using solid-state shearing milling (S3M) technology, considerable mechanical and thermal performance was achieved, with the maximum tensile strength and degradation temperature of the PVA/CTS composites reaching 10.3 MPa and ∼250 °C, respectively. Moreover, the soil burial test demonstrated that even if PVA cannot degraded in environment within a short term, its water-soluble nature ensures its environmental friendliness, as the PVA matrix can dissolve in soil in 10 days without imposing any adverse effects on either plants (wheat) or animals (earthworm). This work not only describes the preparation a series of ecofriendly PVA/biomass composites but also provides new insight into the environmental friendliness of PVA-based materials.

Abstract
Herein, we have optimized a highly efficient and neat mechanochemical grinding procedure for the facile synthesis of N-substituted amines using easily available substituted halides and amines. The developed protocol is applicable for gram scale synthesis as well. Advantageous features of this strategy include mild and neat reaction conditions, a short reaction time at room temperature and isolation of products without column chromatography in excellent yields.

Abstract
The mechanochemical synthesis of nitrogen-rich nanoporous carbon materials has been scaled up using an extruder. Lignin, urea, and K2 CO3 were extruded under heat and pressure to yield nanoporous carbons with up to 3500 m2 g-1 specific surface area after pyrolysis. The route was further broadened by applying different nitrogen sources as well as sawdust as a low-cost renewable feedstock to receive carbons with a C/N ratio of up to 15 depending on nitrogen source and extrusion parameters. The texture of obtained carbons was investigated by scanning electron microscopy as well as argon and nitrogen physisorption, while the chemical structure was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The received carbon was tested as a supercapacitor electrode, showing comparable performance to similar ball-mill-synthesized materials. Lastly, the space-time yield was applied to justify the use of a continuous reactor versus the ball mill.
