| 1 | Protic vs aprotic ionic liquid for CO2 fixation:A simulation study显示文摘The cycloaddition of CO2 with epoxides catalyzed by ionic liquids(ILs)has been a widely ongoing studied hot topic over the years.Recent experimental research has shown that the protic ionic liquids(PILs)behave stronger hydrogen proton donating ability than aprotic ionic liquids(APILs),and can effectively catalyze the cycloaddition of CO2.Unfortunately,the mechanistic explanation remains primarily unraveled.Herein,a detailed simulation study on the cycloaddition reaction catalyzed by PIL([HDBU][Mim])in comparison with APIL([MeDBU][Mim])re-action catalysts was conducted,including the three-step route(ring-opening of PO(propylene oxide),insertion of CO2 and ring-closure of propylene carbonate(PC))and two-step route(simultaneously ring-opening of PO and addition of CO2,and then ring-closure of PC).Based on the activation energy barrier of the rate-determining step,PIL preferentially activates PO as the optimal route for the reaction with the energy barrier of 23.2 kcal mol-1,while that of APIL is 31.2 kcal mol-1.The role of[HDBU]+in the reaction was also explored and found that the direct formation of intermolecular hydrogen bond(H-bond)between[HDBU]+and the reactants(PO+CO2)was unfavorable for the reaction,while the cooperation with the anion[Mim]-to assist indirectly was more conducive.To fully consider the reaction microenvironment of ILs,ONIOM calculation was used to study the solvent effect.At last,the above conclusions were further verified by the analysis of intermediates with charge,non-covalent interaction(NCI),and atoms in molecules(AIM)methods.The computational findings show that ILs studied in this work have dual functions of catalyst and solvent,enabling a microscopic understanding of the ILs catalyst for CO2 utilization as well as providing guidance for the rational design of more efficient ILs-based catalysts. | Wenzhong Sun Meichen Wang Yaqin Zhang Weilu Ding Feng Huo Li Wei Hongyan He | 2020 | Green Energy & Environment2020,5,2: | 4 |
| 2 | Wood waste biochar promoted anaerobic digestion of food waste:focusing on the characteristics of biochar and microbial community analysis显示文摘Anaerobic digestion(AD)has been considered as a promising technique for food waste(FW)recycling.However,the accumulation of volatile fatty acids(VFAs)restricts the stability of anaerobic reactors.The present study investigated the use of biochar produced at different conditions(750℃-30 min,750℃-60 min,750℃-120 min,550℃-60 min,650℃-60 min,850℃-60 min,950℃-60 min)for enhancing the AD of FW.Batch experiments showed that all the biochar increased the methane production rates and biochar obtained at 750℃-60 min resulted in the highest enhance-ment by 21.5%.It was further showed surface oxygen-containing functional groups and graphitization degree of biochar were the critical factors for improving methane production.Microbial analysis showed that biochar addi-tion formed different microbial communities,and Methanosaeta,Romboutsia,and norank_f_Anaerolineaceae were enriched,which might be correlated with direct interspecies electron transfer(DIET).This research showed biochar could enhance the AD of FW and also revealed the main characteristics of biochar relating with the enhancement of AD. | Chao Zhang Rui Yang Meichen Sun Shicheng Zhang Mingjing He Daniel C.W.Tsang Gang Luo | 2022 | Biochar2022,4,1: | 2 |
| 3 | Metabolomics analysis of poly(L-lactic acid)nanofibers’performance on PC12 cell differentiation显示文摘The aim of this article is to reveal the influence of aligned/random poly(L-lactic acid)(PLLA)nanofibers on PC12 cell differentiation from the perspective of metabolic level.First,three materials-PLLA aligned nanofibers(PLLA AF),PLLA random nanofibers(PLLA RF)and PLLA films(control)-were prepared by electrospinning and spin coating.Their surface morphologies were characterized.Subsequently,the cell viability,cell morphology and neurite length of PC12 cells on the surface of the three materials were evaluated,indicating more neurites in the PLLA RF groups but the longer average neurite length in the PLLA AF groups.Next,the metabolite profiles of PC12 cells cultured on the surface of the three nanofibers after 12 h,24 h and 36 h showed that,compared with the control,51,48 and 31 types of differential metabolites were detected at the three time points among the AF groups,respectively;and 56,45 and 41 types among the RF groups,respectively.Furthermore,the bioinformatics analysis of differential metabolites identified two pathways and three metabolites critical to PC12 cell differentiation influenced by the nanofibers.In addition,the verification experiment on critical metabolites and metabolic pathways were performed.The integrative analysis combining cytology,metabolomics and bioinformatics approaches revealed that though both PLLA AF and RF were capable of stimulating the synthesis of neurotransmitters,the PLLA AF were more beneficial for PC12 cell differentiation,whereas the PLLA RF were less effective. | Xiaoman Su Yan Huang Rong Chen Yiwen Zhang Meichen He Xiaoying Lu | 2021 | Regenerative Biomaterials2021,8,4: | 0 |
