Abstract
L-3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) is widely used in Parkinson's disease treatment and is therefore in high demand. Development of an efficient method for the production of L-DOPA is urgently required. Nanozymes emulating tyrosine hydroxylase have attracted enormous attention for biomimetic synthesis of L-DOPA, but suffered from heterogeneity. Herein, a spherical porous iron-nitrogen-carbon nanozyme was developed for production of L-DOPA. Tannic acid chelated with ferrous ions to form a tannin-iron coordination framework as a carbon precursor. Iron and nitrogen co-doped carbon nanospheres were assembled via an evaporation-induced self-assembly process using urea as a nitrogen source, F127 as a soft template, and formaldehyde as a crosslinker. The nanozyme was obtained after carbonization and acid etching. The nanozyme possessed a dispersive iron atom anchored in the Fe-N coordination structure as an active site to mimic the active center of tyrosine hydroxylase. The material showed spherical morphology, uniform size, high specific surface area, a mesoporous structure and easy magnetic separation. The structural properties could promote the density and accessibility of active sites and facilitate mass transport and electron transfer. The nanozyme exhibited high activity to catalyze the hydroxylation of tyrosine to L-DOPA as tyrosine hydroxylase in the presence of ascorbic acid and hydrogen peroxide. The titer of DOPA reached 1.2 mM. The nanozyme showed good reusability and comparable enzyme kinetics to tyrosine hydroxylase with a Michaelis-Menten constant of 2.3 mM. The major active species was the hydroxyl radical. Biomimetic simulation of tyrosine hydroxylase using a nanozyme with a fine structure provided a new route for the efficient production of L-DOPA.

A New 2D Metal–Organic Framework for Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Dyes in Water. Catalysts 2023.

Abstract
Two–dimensional (2D) metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are fascinating photocatalytic materials because of their unique physical and catalytic properties. Herein, we report a new (E)–4–(3–carboxyacrylamido) benzoic acid [ABA–MA] ligand synthesized under facile conditions. This ABA–MA ligand is further utilized to synthesize a copper-based 2D MOF via the solvothermal process. The resulting 2D MOF is characterized for morphology and electronic structural analysis using advanced techniques, such as proton nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, 2D MOF is employed as a photocatalyst for degrading organic dyes, demonstrating the degradation/reduction of methylene blue (MeBl) dye with excellent catalytic/photodegradation activity in the absence of any photosensitizer or cocatalyst. The apparent rate constant (kap) values for the catalytic degradation/reduction of MeBl on the Cu(II)–[ABA-MA] MOF are reported to be 0.0093 min−1, 0.0187 min−1, and 0.2539 min−1 under different conditions of sunlight and NaBH4. The kinetics and stability evaluations reveal the noteworthy photocatalytic potential of the Cu(II)–[ABA–MA] MOF for wastewater treatment. This work offers new insights into the fabrication of new MOFs for highly versatile photocatalytic applications.

Abstract
The unique micro/mesoporous spherical nanostructure composed of non-noble metal nanoparticles encapsulated within a heteroatom-doped carbon matrix provides great advantages for constructing advanced non-precious oxygen reduction (ORR) electrocatalysts. Herein, a promising oxygen electrocatalyst comprising iron sulfide (Fe1−xS) nanoparticles embedded into a nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon sphere (Fe1−xS/NS-CS) is successfully explored through a simple and fast polymerization between methylolmelamines (MMA) and ammonium ferric citrate (AFC) as well as a high-temperature vulcanization process. Moreover, the proposed polymerization reaction can be finished completely within a very short time, which is useful for large-scale manufacturing. Impressively, the developed Fe1−xS/NS-MCS catalyst demonstrates outstanding ORR catalytic activity in terms of a more positive onset and half-wave potential as well, as much a better methanol tolerance and stability, in comparison with that of Pt/C benchmarked catalyst. The remarkable ORR electrocatalytic properties are strongly associated with the favorable characteristic spherical N, the S co-doped porous graphitic carbon nanoskeleton incorporated with the Fe1−xS nanoparticle-encapsulation structure.
