Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms of pH-responsiveness allows researchers to design and fabricate membranes with specific functionalities for various applications. The pH-responsive membranes (PRMs) are particular categories of membranes that have an amazing aptitude to change their properties such as permeability, selectivity and surface charge in response to changes in pH levels. This review provides a brief introduction to mechanisms of pH-responsiveness in polymers and categorizes the applied polymers and functional groups. After that, different techniques for fabricating pH-responsive membranes such as grafting, the blending of pH-responsive polymers/microgels/nanomaterials, novel polymers and graphene-layered PRMs are discussed. The application of PRMs in different processes such as filtration membranes, reverse osmosis, drug delivery, gas separation, pervaporation and self-cleaning/antifouling properties with perspective to the challenges and future progress are reviewed. Lastly, the development and limitations of PRM fabrications and applications are compared to provide inclusive information for the advancement of next-generation PRMs with improved separation and filtration performance.

Abstract
To respond to the increasing demands for practical applications, stabilization and property modulation of metal nanoparticles have emerged as a key research subject. Herein, we present a viable protocol for preparing small metal nanoparticles (<5 nm; Ag, Pd, Pt, and Ru) via multidentate polyoxometalate (POM, [SiW9O34]10-) modification. In addition to enhancing stability, the POMs can modulate the electronic states of metal nanoparticles. Moreover, immobilization of the POM-modified metal nanoparticles on solid supports enables further tuning of the electronic states via a cooperative effect between the POMs and the supports without altering the particle size. Notably, POM-modified Pd nanoparticles on carbon support exhibited superior catalytic activity and selectivity in hydrogenation reactions in comparison with the catalyst without the POM modification.

Abstract
Pt-containing meta- and para-linked poly(phenyleneethynylene)s were synthesized by the dehydrochlorination coupling polymerization of PtCl2(PBu3)2 with m- and p-diethynylbenzenes. The formed polymers were sintered at 900 °C to obtain Pt-graphene hybrids, whose structures were examined by Raman scattering spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. Shapes─facets, terraces, and steps─with average diameters of 2.0-3.4 μm were observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The Pt-graphene hybrids moderately adsorbed CO2 and O2 and slightly adsorbed ethylene and methane. Epoxidation of stilbene was carried out using Pt-graphene hybrids as catalysts to obtain stilbene oxide.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have different shapes and sizes between the range of 1-100 nm, which show advantages for stabilizing compounds, higher carrier capacity, and lower costs. Metal nanoparticles such as copper, gold, silver, and zinc are favorable components for various applications due to their interesting properties. In the present study, nanoparticles were synthesized by reduction with flower extracts of Bauhinia variegate & Saussurea lappa that were used to stabilize the copper nanoparticles. Furthermore, the characterization of plants synthesized copper nanoparticles was carried out through UV-visible dynamic light scattering. Additionally, morphological characterization of nanoparticles was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the elemental composition of copper nanoparticles. Powder X-ray diffraction was conducted for the analysis of crystallinity, purity, and crystal size of plant-synthesized copper nanoparticles. The average particle size was evaluated and exhibited the particle size at the peak of 8.721 nm and 98.03 nm for flower extracts of Bauhinia variegate & Saussurea lappa copper nanoparticles. The Fourier Transform Infrared spectrum was taken to scrutinize the various functional groups that were responsible for the reduction of the copper ions. The antimicrobial results against the bacterial strains with the positive test results of the zone of inhibition were for Bauhinia variegate (17 mm, 18 mm, 19 mm, and 18 mm) and Saussurea lappa (17 mm, 19 mm, 18 mm, and 18 mm) respectively for plants synthesized copper nanoparticles against the Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Lipase inhibition assay and Amylase inhibition assay with different concentrations (20 μg/mL to 100 μg/mL) for Bauhinia variegate & Saussurea lappa (12.34 %-59.67 % and 10.50 %-47.01 %) and (34.52 %-89.02 % and 22.34 %-56.45 %) confirmed the anti-obesity and anti-diabetic activities of plants extract synthesized copper nanoparticles.

Abstract
The branched structures of dendronized polymers can provide good steric stabilization for metal nanoparticle catalysts. In this work, an amphiphilic dendronized copolymer containing hydrophilic branched triethylene glycol moieties and hydrophobic branched ferrocenyl moieties is designed and prepared by one-pot ring-opening metathesis polymerization, and is used as the stabilizer for metal (Au, Ag and Pd) nanoparticles. These metal nanoparticles (Au nanoparticles: 3.5 ± 3.0 nm; Ag nanoparticles: 7.2 ± 4.0 nm; Pd nanoparticles: 2.5 ± 1.0 nm) are found to be highly active in both the 4-nitrophenol reduction and Suzuki-Miyaura reactions. In the 4-nitrophenol reduction, Pd nanoparticles have the highest catalytic ability (TOF: 2060 h-1). In addition, Pd nanoparticles are also an efficient catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura reactions (TOF: 1980 h-1) and possess good applicability for diverse substrates. The amphiphilic dendronized copolymer will open a new door for the development of efficient metal nanoparticle catalysts.

Abstract
Increasing bacterial infections and growing resistance to available drugs pose a serious threat to human health and the environment. Although antibiotics are crucial in fighting bacterial infections, their excessive use not only weakens our immune system but also contributes to bacterial resistance. These negative effects have caused doctors to be troubled by the clinical application of antibiotics. Facing this challenge, it is urgent to explore a new antibacterial strategy. MXene has been extensively reported in tumor therapy and biosensors due to its wonderful performance. Due to its large specific surface area, remarkable chemical stability, hydrophilicity, wide interlayer spacing, and excellent adsorption and reduction ability, it has shown wonderful potential for biopharmaceutical applications. However, there are few antimicrobial evaluations on MXene. The current antimicrobial mechanisms of MXene mainly include physical damage, induced oxidative stress, and photothermal and photodynamic therapy. In this paper, we reviewed MXene-based antimicrobial composites and discussed the application of MXene in bacterial infections to guide further research in the antimicrobial field.

Abstract
Enhancing performance through the combination of polyoxometalates (POMs) clusters with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that contain various transition metals is a challenging task. In this study, we synthesized a polyoxometalate-based metal-organic framework (POMOF) named HRBNU-5 using a solvothermal method. HRBNU-5 is composed of Zn[N(C4H9)4][MnMo6O18{(OCH2)3CNH2}2]@Zn3(C9H3O6)2·6C3H7NO, which includes two components: Zn[N(C4H9)4][MnMo6O18{(OCH2)3CNH2}2]·3C3H7NO ({Zn[MnMo6]}) and Zn3(C9H3O6)2·3C3H7NO (Zn-BTC). Structural characterization confirmed the host-guest structure, with Zn-BTC encapsulating {Zn[MnMo6]}. In a three-electrode system, HRBNU-5 exhibited a specific capacitance of 851.3 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A/g and retained high stability (97.2 %) after 5000 cycles. Additionally, HRBNU-5 performed well in aqueous-symmetric/asymmetric supercapacitors (SSC/ASC) in terms of energy density and power density in a double-electrode system. Moreover, it demonstrated excellent catalytic performance in a 1.0 M KOH solution, with low overpotentials and Tafel slopes for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions: 177.1 mV (η10 HER), 126.9 mV dec-1 and 370.3 mV (η50 OER), 36.3 mV dec-1, respectively, surpassing its precursors and most reported studies. HRBNU-5's positive performance is attributed to its host-guest structure, high electron-transfer conductivity, and porous structure that enhances efficient mass transport. This work inspires the design of Anderson-type POMOF electrode materials with multiple active sites and a well-defined structure.

Abstract
Bottom-up fabrication protocols for uniform 3D hierarchical structures in solution are rare. We report two different approaches to fabricate uniform 3D spherulites and their precursors using mixtures of poly(ferrocenyldimethylsilane) (PFS) block copolymer (BCP) and PFS homopolymer (HP). Both protocols are designed to promote defects in 2D assemblies that serve as intermediate structures. In a multistep seeded growth protocol, we add the BCP/HP mixture to (1D) rod-like PFS micelles in a selective solvent as first-generation seeds. This leads to 2D platelet structures. If this step is conducted at a high supersaturation, secondary crystals form on the basal surface of these platelets. Co-crystallization and rapid crystallization of BCP/HP promote the formation of defects that act as nucleation sites for secondary crystals, resulting in multilayer platelets. This is the key step. The multilayer platelets serve as second-generation seeds upon subsequent addition of BCP/HP blends and, with increasing supersaturation, lead to the sequential formation of uniform (3D) hedrites, sheaves, and spherulites. Similar structures can also be obtained by a simple one-pot direct self-assembly (heating-cooling-aging) protocol of PFS BCP/HP blends. In this case, for a carefully chosen but narrow temperature range, PFS HPs nucleate formation of uniform structures, and the annealing temperature regulates the supersaturation level. In both protocols, the competitive crystallization kinetics of HP/BCP affects the morphology. Both protocols exhibit broad generality. We believe the morphological transformation from 2D to 3D structures, regulated by defect formation, co-crystallization, and supersaturation levels, could apply to various semicrystalline polymers. Moreover, the 3D structures are sufficiently robust to serve as recoverable carriers for nanoparticle catalysts, exhibiting valuable catalytic activity and opening new possibilities for applications requiring exquisite 3D structures.

Abstract
The removal of harmful chemicals and species from water, soil, and air is a major challenge in environmental remediation, and a wide range of materials have been studied in this regard. To identify the optimal material for particular applications, research is still ongoing. Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs), which combine the benefits of nanoparticles with polymers, an alternative to conventional materials, may open up new possibilities to overcome this difficulty. They have remarkable mechanical capabilities and compatibility due to their polymer matrix with a very high surface area to volume ratio brought about by their special physical and chemical properties, and the extremely reactive surfaces of the nanofillers. Composites also provide a viable answer to the separation and reuse problems that hinder nanoparticles in routine use. Understanding these PNCs materials in depth and using them in practical environmental applications is still in the early stages of development. The review article demonstrates a crisp introduction to the PNCs with their advantageous properties as a catalyst in environmental remediation. It also provides a comprehensive explanation of the design procedure and synthesis methods for fabricating PNCs and examines in depth the design methods, principles, and design techniques that guide proper design. Current developments in the use of polymer nanocomposites for the pollutant treatment using three commonly used catalytic processes (catalytic and redox degradation, electrocatalytic degradation, and biocatalytic degradation) are demonstrated in detail. Additionally, significant advances in research on the aforementioned catalytic process and the mechanism by which contaminants are degraded are also amply illustrated. Finally, there is a summary of the research challenges and future prospects of catalytic PNCs in environmental remediation.

Promotion of bio-oil production from the microwave pyrolysis of cow dung using pretreated red mud as a bifunctional additive: Parameter optimization, energy efficiency evaluation, and mechanism analysis. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 236:116806. [PMID: 37536556 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116806] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2023] [Revised: 07/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/30/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023]
Abstract
To address the issues of high oxygen content and energy consumption in the microwave-assisted pyrolysis of biomass for biofuel production, this study used high-temperature pretreated red mud (RM) as an additive. The pretreated RM exhibited dual functionalities, namely microwave absorption and catalytic properties, during the microwave-assisted pyrolysis of cow dung (CD). This study also evaluated the optimization potential of energy recovery efficiency. The results showed that the addition of pretreated RM significantly increased the oil yield during the microwave-assisted pyrolysis of CD. The highest oil yield (59.63%) was obtained via the microwave-assisted pyrolysis of CD over catalysis with RM pretreated at 750 °C (RM750). Through the optimization of the RM750-to-CD mixing ratio, optimal oil quality and energy recovery efficiency were achieved. At a mixing ratio of 1:1, the pyrolysis oil featured the highest aromatic hydrocarbon content and lowest acid content. The high-temperature pretreatment of RM increased the Fe2O3 content, which enhanced the dielectric properties and magnetic loss ability of the reactants. This resulted in localized high temperatures and the formation of "hot spots," which can promote the deoxygenation and hydrogenation reactions of oil. Consequently, the lower heating rate of oil increased from 35.12 to 40.11 MJ kg-1. The released oxygen escaped in the form of CO. In addition, pyrolytic char was used as an in situ microwave absorbing material owing to its increased Fe2O3 content and graphitization degree, leading to an increase in energy recovery efficiency from 4.71% to 9.98%. This study provides valuable guidance for the efficient utilization of diversified solid wastes and demonstrates the potential application of microwave-assisted pyrolysis technology in the resource utilization of solid wastes.

Abstract
Mimicking the structures and functions of cells to create artificial organelles has spurred the development of efficient strategies for production of hollow nanoreactors with biomimetic catalytic functions. However, such structure are challenging to fabricate and are thus rarely reported. We report the design of hollow nanoreactors with hollow multishelled structure (HoMS) and spatially loaded metal nanoparticles. Starting from a molecular-level design strategy, well-defined hollow multishelled structure phenolic resins (HoMS-PR) and carbon (HoMS-C) submicron particles were accurately constructed. HoMS-C serves as an excellent, versatile platform, owing to its tunable properties with tailored functional sites for achieving precise spatial location of metal nanoparticles, internally encapsulated (Pd@HoMS-C) or externally supported (Pd/HoMS-C). Impressively, the combination of the delicate nanoarchitecture and spatially loaded metal nanoparticles endow the pair of nanoreactors with size-shape-selective molecular recognition properties in catalytic semihydrogenation, including high activity and selectivity of Pd@HoMS-C for small aliphatic substrates and Pd/HoMS-C for large aromatic substrates. Theoretical calculations provide insight into the pair of nanoreactors with distinct behaviors due to the differences in energy barrier of substrate adsorption. This work provides guidance on the rational design and accurate construction of hollow nanoreactors with precisely located active sites and a finely modulated microenvironment by mimicking the functions of cells.

Abstract
Developing well-defined structures and desired properties for porous organic polymer (POP) supported catalysts by controlling their composition, size, and morphology is of great significance. Herein, we report a preparation of polyaniline (PANI) supported Pd nanoparticles (NPs) with controllable structure and morphology. The protocol involves the introduction of MnO2 with different crystal structures (α, β, γ, δ, ϵ) serving as both the reaction template and the oxidant. The different forms of MnO2 each convert aniline to a PANI that contains a unique regular distribution of benzene and quinone. This leads to the Pd/PANI catalysts with different charge transfer properties between Pd and PANI, as well as different dispersions of the metal NPs. In this case, the Pd/ϵ-PANI catalyst greatly improves the turnover frequency (TOF; to 88.3 h-1 ), in the reductive coupling of furfural derivatives to potential bio-based plasticizers. Systematic characterizations reveal the unique oxidation state of the support in the Pd/ϵ-PANI catalyst and coordination mode of Pd that drives the formation of highly dispersed Pd nanoclusters. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show the more electron rich Pd/PANI catalyst has the lower energy barrier in the oxidative addition step, which favors the C-C coupling reaction.

Abstract
Ultra-fine nanoparticles (uf-NPs) embedded in hierarchical porous carbon (HPC) have been proven to possess intriguing properties for various energy storage applications, but effective synthetic control is still lacking. Herein, we present an efficient coordination anchor activation (CAA) strategy for the scalable synthesis and elaborate control of a series of uf-NPs embedded in HPC (Sb@HPC and FeSb2@HPC as examples), which is achieved by taking advantage of the coordination capability of industrial ionic exchange resins. The in situ coordination-anchored uf-NPs and the tailored hierarchical porous HPC enables superior rate capability (533.1 mA h g-1 at 3.30 A g-1 for Sb@HPC, 276.0 mA h g-1 at 5.37 A g-1 for FeSb2@HPC), enhanced cycling stability, and high reversible areal capacity (5.02 mA h cm-2). Our study demonstrates a potentially scalable uf-NP synthesis strategy with industrial raw materials that can be applied to a large variety of energy materials.

Abstract
Herein, Bi2O3 quantum dots (QDs) have been synthesized and doped with various concentrations of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and a fixed amount of carbon spheres (CS) using a co-precipitation technique. XRD analysis confirmed the presence of monoclinic structure along the space group P21/c and C2/c. Various functional groups and characteristic peaks of (Bi-O) were identified using FTIR spectra. QDs morphology of Bi2O3 showed agglomeration with higher amounts of g-C3N4 by TEM analysis. HR-TEM determined the variation in the d-spacing which increased with increasing dopants. These doping agents were employed to reduce the exciting recombination rate of Bi2O3 QDs by providing more active sites which enhance antibacterial activity. Notably, (6 wt%) g-C3N4/CS-doped Bi2O3 exhibited considerable antimicrobial potential in opposition to E. coli at higher values of concentrations relative to ciprofloxacin. The (3 wt%) g-C3N4/CS-doped Bi2O3 exhibits the highest catalytic potential (97.67%) against RhB in a neutral medium. The compound g-C3N4/CS-Bi2O3 has been suggested as a potential inhibitor of β-lactamaseE. coli and DNA gyraseE. coli based on the findings of a molecular docking study that was in better agreement with in vitro bactericidal activity.

Abstract
Bifunctional catalysts consisting of metal-containing nanoparticles (NPs) and zeolite supports have received considerable attention due to their excellent catalytic properties in numerous reactions, including direct (biomass is a substrate) and indirect (platform chemical is a substrate) biomass processing. In this short review, we discuss major approaches to the preparation of NPs in zeolites, concentrating on methods that allow for the best interplay (synergy) between metal and acid sites, which is normally achieved for small NPs well-distributed through zeolite. We focus on the modification of zeolites to provide structural integrity and controlled acidity, which can be accomplished by the incorporation of certain metal ions or elements. The other modification avenue is the adjustment of zeolite morphology, including the creation of numerous defects for the NP entrapment and designed hierarchical porosity for improved mass transfer. In this review, we also provide examples of synergy between metal and acid sites and emphasize that without density functional theory calculations, many assumptions about the interactions between active sites remain unvalidated. Finally, we describe the most interesting examples of direct and indirect biomass (waste) processing for the last five years.

Abstract
Using electrostatic self-assembly and electrostatic nanotemplating, a quaternary nanostructured system consisting of zinc oxide nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, poly[3-(potassium-4-butanoate)thiophene-2,5-diyl] (PT), and methyltrioctylammonium chloride (MTOA) (PT-MTOA-ZnO-Au) was designed for aqueous photocatalysis. The PT-MTOA hollow sphere aggregates served as an electrostatic template for both individual inorganic nanoparticles controlling their morphology, stabilizing the nanoparticles, and acting as a photosensitizer. The hybrid structures included spherical ZnO nanoparticles with a diameter of d = 2.6 nm and spherical Au nanoparticles with d = 6.0 nm embedded in PT-MTOA hollow spheres with a hydrodynamic radius of RH = 100 nm. The ZnO nanoparticles acted as the main catalyst, while the Au nanoparticles acted as the cocatalyst. As a photocatalytic model reaction, the dye degradation of methylene blue in aqueous solution using the full spectral range from UV to visible light was tested. The photocatalytic activity was optimized by varying the Zn and Au loading ratios and was substantially enhanced regarding the components; for example, it was increased by about 61% using PT-MTOA-ZnO-Au compared to the composite without gold particles. A photocatalytic mechanism of the methylene blue degradation was proposed when catalyzed by these multicomponent nano-objects. Thus, a simple procedure of templating two different nanoparticle species within the same cocatalytically active template has been demonstrated, which can be extended to other inorganic particles, making a variety of task-specific catalysts accessible.

Abstract
Functional metal oxide particles are often added to the polymers to prepare flexible functional polymer composites with adequate mechanical properties. ZnO and cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) outstand among these metal oxides and the polymer matrices respectively due to their various advantages. Herein, we in situ prepare ZnO microrods in the presence of CNF, which resultes in a layered composite structure. The ZnO microrods are sandwiched between the CNF layers and strongly bind to highly charged CNF, which provides a better stress transfer during mechanical activity. Digital image correction (DIC) and finite element analysis-based computational homogenization methods are used to investigate the relationship between mechanical properties and composite structure, and the stress transfer to the ZnO microrods. Full-field strain measurements in DIC reveal that the in situ ZnO microrods preparation leads to their homogenous distribution in the CNF matrix unlike other methods, which require external means such as ultrasonication. The computational homogenization technique provides a fairly good insight into the stress transfer between constituents in microstructure as well as a good prediction of macroscopic mechanical properties, which otherwise, would be challenging to be assessed by any ordinary mechanical testing in the layered composites. Finally, we also demonstrate that these composites could be used as physiological motion sensors for human health monitoring.

Abstract
....With the development of nanomedical technology, the application of various novel nanomaterials in the biomedical field has been greatly developed in recent years. MXenes, which are new inorganic nanomaterials with ultrathin atomic thickness, consist of layered transition metal carbides and nitrides or carbonitrides and have the general structural formula Mn+1XnTx (n = 1-3). Based on the unique structural features of MXenes, such as ultrathin atomic thickness and high specific surface area, and their excellent physicochemical properties, such as high photothermal conversion efficiency and antibacterial properties, MXenes have been widely applied in the biomedical field. This review systematically summarizes the application of MXene-based materials in biomedicine. The first section is a brief summary of their synthesis methods and surface modification strategies, which is followed by a focused overview and analysis of MXenes applications in biosensors, diagnosis, therapy, antibacterial agents, and implants, among other areas. We also review two popular research areas: wearable devices and immunotherapy. Finally, the difficulties and research progress in the clinical translation of MXene-based materials in biomedical applications are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is considered the most promising biobased substitute for fossil-derived polymers due to its compostability, biocompatibility, renewability, and good thermomechanical properties. However, PLA suffers from several shortcomings, such as low heat distortion temperature, thermal resistance, and rate of crystallization, whereas some other specific properties, i.e., flame retardancy, anti-UV, antibacterial or barrier properties, antistatic to conductive electrical characteristics, etc., are required by different end-use sectors. The addition of different nanofillers represents an attractive way to develop and enhance the properties of neat PLA. Numerous nanofillers with different architectures and properties have been investigated, with satisfactory achievements, in the design of PLA nanocomposites. This review paper overviews the current advances in the synthetic routes of PLA nanocomposites, the imparted properties of each nano-additive, as well as the numerous applications of PLA nanocomposites in various industrial fields.

Abstract
Application of nanocomposites in daily life requires not only small nanoparticles (NPs) well dispersed in a matrix, but also a manufacturing process that is mindful of the operator and the environment. Avoiding any exposure to NPs is one such way, and direct liquid reaction-injection (DLRI) aims to fulfill this need. DLRI is based on the controlled in situ synthesis of NPs from the decomposition of suitable organometallic precursors in conditions that are compatible with a pulsed injection mode of an aerosol into a downstream process. Coupled with low-pressure plasma, DLRI produces nanocomposite with homogeneously well-dispersed small nanoparticles that in the particular case of ZnO-DLC nanocomposite exhibit unique properties. DLRI favorably compares with the direct liquid injection of ex situ formed NPs. The exothermic hydrolysis reaction of the organometallic precursor at the droplet-gas interface leads to the injection of small and highly dispersed NPs and, consequently, the deposition of fine and controlled distribution in the nanocomposite. The scope of DLRI nanosynthesis has been extended to several metal oxides such as zinc, tin, tungsten, and copper to generalize the concept. Hence, DLRI is an attractive method to synthesize, inject, and deposit nanoparticles and meets the prevention and atom economy requirements of green chemistry.

Abstract
This work demonstrates the incorporation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) into crosslinker-free poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAM, particles in situ and the examination of their structural and catalytic properties. The formation process of the AuNPs across the crosslinker-free PNIPAM particles are compared to that of crosslinked PNIPAM particles. Given the relatively larger free volume across the crosslinker-free polymer network, the AuNPs formed by the in situ reduction of gold ions are detectably larger and more polydisperse, but their overall integration efficiency is slightly inferior. The structural features and stability of these composite particles are also examined in basic and alcoholic solvent environments, where the crosslinker-free PNIPAM particles still offer comparable physicochemical properties to the crosslinked PNIPAM particles. Interestingly, the crosslinker-free composite particles as a colloidal catalyst display a higher reactivity toward the homocoupling of phenylboronic acid and reveal the importance of the polymer network density. As such, the capability to prepare composite particles in a controlled polymer network and reactive metal nanoparticles, as well as understanding the structure-dependent physicochemical properties, can allow for the development of highly practical catalytic systems.

Abstract
This work originated from the need to functionalize surfactant-coated inorganic nanoparticles for biomedical applications, a process that is limited by excess unbound surfactant. These limitations are connected to the bioconjugation of targeting molecules that are often in equilibrium between the free aliquot in solution and that which binds the surface of the nanoparticles. The excess in solution can play a role in the biocompatability in vitro and in vivo of the final nanoparticles stock. For this purpose, we tested the ability of common surfactants - monothiolated polyethylene glycol and amphiphilic polymers - to colloidally stabilize nanoparticles as excess surfactant is removed and compared them to newly appearing multidentate surfactants endowed with high avidity for inorganic nanoparticles. Our results showed that monothiolated polyethylene glycol or amphiphilic polymers have an insufficient affinity to the nanoparticles and as the excess surfactant is removed the colloidal stability is lost, while multidentate high-avidity surfactants excel in the same regard, possibly allowing improvement in an array of nanoparticle applications, especially in those stated.

Abstract
In order to make the synthesis of pharmaceutically active carbonitriles efficient, environmentally friendly, and sustainable, the method is regularly examined. Here, we introduce a brand-new, very effective Cu3TiO4/g-C3N5 photocatalyst for the production of compounds containing chromene-3-carbonitriles. The direct Z-Scheme photo-generated charge transfer mechanism used by the Cu3TiO4/g-C3N5 photocatalyst results in a suppressed rate of electron-hole pair recombination and an increase in photocatalytic activity. Experiments showed that the current method has some advantages, such as using an environmentally friendly and sustainable photocatalyst, having a simple procedure, quick reaction times, a good product yield (82–94%), and being able to reuse the photocatalyst multiple times in a row without noticeably decreasing its photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Artificial enzymes are becoming a powerful toolbox for selective organic syntheses. Herein, we first propose an advanced artificial enzyme by polymeric modularity as an efficient aldolase mimic for aqueous asymmetric aldol reactions. Based on an in-depth understanding of the aldolase reaction mechanism and our previous work, we demonstrate the modular design of protein-polymer conjugates by co-incorporating l-proline and styrene onto a noncatalytic protein scaffold with a high degree of controllability. The tailored conjugates exhibited remarkable catalytic performance toward the aqueous asymmetric aldol reaction of p-nitrobenzaldehyde and cyclohexanone, achieving 94% conversion and excellent selectivity (95/5 diastereoselectivity, 98% enantiomeric excess). In addition, this artificial enzyme showed high tolerance against extreme conditions (e.g., wide pH range, high temperature) and could be reused for more than four times without significant loss of reactivity. Experiments have shown that the artificial enzyme displayed broad specificity for various aldehydes.

Abstract
With increasingly frequent highly infectious global pandemics, the textile industry has responded by developing commercial fabric products by incorporating antibacterial metal oxide nanoparticles, particularly copper oxide in cleaning products and personal care items including antimicrobial wipes, hospital gowns and masks. Current methods use a surface adsorption method to functionalize nanomaterials to fibers. However, this results in poor durability and decreased antimicrobial activity after consecutive launderings. In this study, cuprous oxide nanoparticles with nanoflower morphology (Cu2O nanoflowers) are synthesized in situ within the cotton fiber under mild conditions and without added chemical reducing agents from a copper (II) precursor with an average maximal Feret diameter of 72.0 ± 51.8 nm and concentration of 17,489 ± 15 mg/kg. Analysis of the Cu2O NF-infused cotton fiber cross-section by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed the internal formation, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the copper (I) reduced oxidation state. An exponential correlation (R2 = 0.9979) between the UV-vis surface plasmon resonance (SPR) intensity at 320 nm of the Cu2O NFs and the concentration of copper in cotton was determined. The laundering durability of the Cu2O NF-cotton fabric was investigated, and the superior nanoparticle-leach resistance was observed, with the fabrics releasing only 19% of copper after 50 home laundering cycles. The internally immobilized Cu2O NFs within the cotton fiber exhibited continuing antibacterial activity (≥99.995%) against K. pneumoniae, E. coli and S. aureus), complete antifungal activity (100%) against A. niger and antiviral activity (≥90%) against Human coronavirus, strain 229E, even after 50 laundering cycles.

Abstract
With sustainability at the forefront of current polymerisation research, the typically earth-abundant, inexpensive and low-toxicity main group metals are attractive candidates for catalysis. Main group metals have been exploited in a broad range of polymerisations, ranging from classical alkene polymerisation to the synthesis of new bio-derived and degradable polyesters and polycarbonates via ring-opening polymerisation and ring-opening copolymerisation. This tutorial review highlights efficient polymerisation catalysts based on Group 1, Group 2, Zn and Group 13 metals. Key mechanistic pathways and catalyst developments are discussed, including tailored ligand design, heterometallic cooperativity, bicomponent systems and careful selection of the polymerisation conditions, all of which can be used to fine-tune the metal Lewis acidity and the metal-alkyl bond polarity.

Abstract
The pharmaceutical science demand for sustainable and selective electrochemical sensors which exhibit ultrasensitive capabilities for the monitoring of different drugs. In an attempt to build a useful electrochemical sensor, we describe a most efficient method for the fabrication of NiO/ZnO nanocomposite through aqueous chemical growth method. The successfully synthesized NiO/ZnO nanocomposite is successfully employed to modify a glassy carbon electrode in order to build a sensitive and reliable electrochemical sensor for the detection of carbamazepine (CBZ), an anticonvulsant drug. The morphological texture, functionalities and crystalline structure of prepared nanocomposite were determined via FTIR, XRD, EDX, TEM, and SEM analysis. In order to examine the charge transfer kinetics, the cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to exploit the electrochemical properties of the synthesized nanocomposite. The NiO/ZnO nanocomposite exhibited excellent electron transfer kinetics and less resistive behavior than the individual NiO and ZnO nanoparticles. The differential pulse voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry tools were used for the fluent determination of CBZ. Certain parameters were optimized to develop an effective method including optimum scan rate 60 mV/s, potential range from 0.4 to 1.4 V and BRB as supporting electrolyte with pH 3. The developed sensor showed exceptional response for CBZ under the linear dynamic range from 5 to 100 μM. The limit of detection of proposed NiO/ZnO sensor for the CBZ was calculated to be 0.08 μM. The analytical approach of prepared electrochemical sensor was investigated in different pharmaceutical formulation with acceptable percent recoveries ranging from 96.7 to 98.6%.

Abstract
Chrysanthemum tea is a tranditional Chinese health drink, which contains luteolin, a flavonoid with vesatile health benefit activities. Herein, A sensitive electrochemical sensor based on composite materials consisting of MoO3 nanorods, poly (3, 4-ethylene dioxyethiophene)(PEDOT), and γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic framework(CD-MOF) was prepared.The materials were characterized and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Due to the synergisticeffects of the materials, the sensor showed a wide linear range of 0.4 nM -1800 nM and a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.1 nM (S/N = 3) for luteolin under optimized conditions. Besides, the influences of some coexistent phenolic compounds and common metal ions on luteolin detection were evaluated and no significant interference was observed. Finally, the sensor was successfully applied to the detection of luteolin in real Chrysanthemum tea samples.

Abstract
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), one of the most important platform molecules in biorefinery, can be directly obtained from a vast diversity of biomass materials. Owing to the reactive functional groups (-CHO and -CH2 OH) in the structure, this versatile building block undertakes several transformations to provide a wealth of high value-added products. Among numerous well-established paradigms, the catalytic hydrogenation of 5-HMF towards 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran (BHMTHF) is of great interest because this downstream diol can be exploited in a wide range of industrial applications. Not surprisingly, incessant endeavors from both academia and industry to upgrade this catalytic process have been established over the years. The main aim of this Review was to provide a comprehensive overview on the development of heterogeneous metal catalysts for the 5-HMF-to-BHMTHF transformation. Herein, the rational design and utility of hydrogenating catalysts were elaborated in many aspects including metal types (Ni, Co, Pd, Ru, Pt, and bimetals), solid supports, preparation method, recyclability, operating conditions, and reaction regime (batch and continuous flow). In addition, the assessment of cooperative catalysts to convert carbohydrates into BHMTHF under one-pot cascade, tentative mechanism, as well as prospects and challenges for the chemo-selective hydrogenation of 5-HMF were also highlighted.

Abstract
In this work, the hydrothermally synthesized of BiVO4@MoS2 hierarchical nano-heterojunction composite is employed as a novel electrocatalyst for electrochemical sensing of Furazolidone (FZE) drug by modifying the glassy carbon electrodes (GCE). The Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy are used to thoroughly investigate the functional groups, vibrational modes, crystal structure, elemental composition and surface topography of the heterojunction composite. The physical characterization results revealed the successful construction of 1D-2D BiVO4@MoS2 hierarchical nano-heterojunction composite. When these unique architectures are reinforced on GCE surface, we achieved an enhanced electroactive surface area of 0.154 cm2. The electrochemical performance of 1D-2D BiVO4@MoS2 is examined though cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) analysis. The BiVO4@MoS2 composites exhibited an excellent electrocatalytic activity in sensing of FZE with superior linear detection ranges of 0.01-14 and 14-614 μM. The limit of detection (LOD) of the BiVO4@MoS2 based sensor is determined to be 2.9 nM which is far superior than other reported FZE sensors. Consequently, it is evident from the investigation that the BiVO4@MoS2 based FZE sensor can be recommended for analyzing real time samples like human urine and blood serum with appreciable recovery.

Abstract
The development of highly active and selective heterogeneous-based catalysts with tailorable properties is not only a fundamental challenge, but is also crucial in the context of energy savings and sustainable chemistry. Here, we show that ruthenium nanoparticles (RuNPs) stabilised with simple polymerised ionic liquids (PILs) based on N-vinyl imidazolium led to highly active and robust nano-catalysts in hydrogenation reactions, both in water and organic media. Of particular interest, their activity and selectivity could simply be manipulated through counter-anion exchange reactions. Hence, as a proof of concept, the activity of RuNPs could be reversibly turned on and off in the hydrogenation of toluene, while in the case of styrene, the hydrogenation could be selectively switched from ethylbenzene to ethylcyclohexane upon anion metathesis. According to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analyses, these effects could originate not only from the relative hydrophobicity and solvation of the PIL corona but also from the nature and strength of the PIL-Ru interactions.

Abstract
The recyclable nanomagnetic Pd-complex PAMAM G0-Pd@γ-Fe2O3 is reported for catalytic C–C cross-coupling reactions of challenging substrates. Mainly, a great variety of aryl chlorides can be used as substrates for Suzuki–Miyaura and Mizoroki–Heck reactions under mild reaction conditions (60–90 °C) and low catalyst loading (<1 mol% Pd) in aqueous media. The presence of numerous polar groups in the polymer matrix increases the solubility of the catalyst in water, thus facilitating its operation in aqueous environments. The immobilization of the catalyst on the surface of a magnetic platform allows its effective recovery and reuse without significant loss of catalytic activity for at least six cycles with total leaching of <1% palladium metal, meeting the requirements for acceptable metal residues in the pharmaceutical industry. The recyclable nanomagnetic Pd-complex PAMAM G0-Pd@γ-Fe2O3 is reported for catalytic C–C cross-coupling reactions of challenging substrates.![]()

Abstract
In the era of nanotechnology, the synthesis of nanomaterials for advanced applications has grown enormously. Effective therapeutics and functionalization of effective drugs using nano-vehicles are considered highly productive and selectively necessary. Polymeric nanomaterials have shown their impact and influential role in this process. Polymeric nanomaterials in molecular science are well facilitated due to their low cytotoxic behavior, robust functionalization, and practical approach towards in vitro and in vivo therapeutics. This review highlights a brief discussion on recent techniques used in nanohydrogel designs, biomedical applications, and the applied role of nanohydrogels in the construction of advanced therapeutics. We reviewed recent studies on nanohydrogels for their wide applications in building strategies for advantageously controlled biological applications. The classification of polymers is based on their sources of origin. Nanohydrogel studies are based on their polymeric types and their endorsed utilization for reported applications. Nanotechnology has developed significantly in the past decades. The novel and active role of nano biomaterials with amplified aspects are consistently being studied to minimize the deleterious practices and side effects. Here, we put forth challenges and discuss the outlook regarding the role of nanohydrogels, with future perspectives on delivering constructive strategies and overcoming the critical objectives in nanotherapeutic systems.

Abstract
Solubility and functionality of polymeric materials are essential properties determining their role in any application. In that regard, double hydrophilic copolymers (DHC) are typically constructed from two chemically dissimilar but water-soluble building blocks. During the past decades, these materials have been intensely developed and utilised as, e.g., matrices for the design of multifunctional hybrid materials, in drug carriers and gene delivery, as nanoreactors, or as sensors. This is predominantly due to almost unlimited possibilities to precisely tune DHC composition and topology, their solution behavior, e.g., stimuli-response, and potential interactions with small molecules, ions and (nanoparticle) surfaces. In this contribution we want to highlight that this class of polymers has experienced tremendous progress regarding synthesis, architectural variety, and the possibility to combine response to different stimuli within one material. Especially the implementation of DHCs as versatile building blocks in hybrid materials expanded the range of water-based applications during the last two decades, which now includes also photocatalysis, sensing, and 3D inkjet printing of hydrogels, definitely going beyond already well-established utilisation in biomedicine or as templates.

Abstract
N,N-Dimethylformamide-stabilized Ru nanoparticles (NPs) provide a highly efficient catalyst for the Guerbet reaction of primary alcohols. DMF-modified Ru NPs were synthesized, and characterized by transition electron microscopy, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectronspectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The Ru NP catalyst was highly durable during catalytic reactions under external additive/solvent-free conditions. N,N-Dimethylformamide-stabilized Ru nanoparticles (NPs) provide a highly efficient catalyst for the Guerbet reaction of primary alcohols under solvent-free conditions and without the use of external ligands.![]()

Abstract
Despite numerous works devoted to the cellulose hydrogenolysis process, only some of them describe reaction kinetics. This is explained by the complexity of the process and the simultaneous behavior of different reactions. In this work, we present the results of the kinetic study of glucose hydrogenolysis into ethylene- and propylene glycols in the presence of Ru@Fe3O4/HPS catalyst as a part of the process of catalytic conversion of cellulose into glycols. The structure of the Ru-containing magnetically separable Ru@Fe3O4/HPS catalysts supported on the polymeric matrix of hypercrosslinked polystyrene was studied to propose the reaction scheme. As a result of this study, a formal description of the glucose hydrogenolysis process into glycols was performed. Based on the data obtained, the mathematical model of the glucose hydrogenolysis kinetics in the presence of Ru@Fe3O4/HPS was developed and the parameter estimation was carried out. The synthesized catalyst was found to be characterized by the enhanced magnetic properties and higher catalytic activity in comparison with previously developed catalytic systems (i.e., on the base of SiO2). The summarized selectivity towards the glycols formation was found to be ca. 42% at 100% of the cellulose conversion in the presence of Ru@Fe3O4/HPS.

Abstract
Metal oxides/hydroxides with a two-dimensional (2D) porous structure have extensive applications in catalysis, microwave absorption, and energy storage fields due to their large specific surface areas, massive exposed active sites, and good structural integrities. Herein, a general surfactant-assisted vapor diffusion-deposition self-assembly method is developed to synthesize various 2D porous metal oxides/hydroxides. Benefiting from the structure-directing effect of surfactants and the precise tuning of nucleation and growth process that results from this vapor diffusion-deposition strategy, a 2D porous structure is constructed. To explore the advantages of such 2D porous structure, electromagnetic characteristics and absorbing properties of as-obtained materials are investigated. The minimum reflection loss (RL) of 2D porous NiFe2O4 is -23.1 dB at 6.4 GHz, and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) is 5.1 GHz. However, the minimum RL is only -15.0 dB at 8.7 GHz and the EAB is 3.9 GHz for NiFe2O4 particles. In addition, the as-obtained 2D porous NiFe2O4 exhibits superior absorbing properties compared with many previously reported nickel ferrites. Furthermore, the microwave absorbing mechanism of 2D porous NiFe2O4 is investigated.
