    2,3-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-2,3-dinitro-1,4-butanediol tetranitrate(DNTN) is energetic material, which is the densest nitrate. The unclear thermal decomposition mechanism of DNTN has seriously hindered its application in propellants. The thermal decomposition process of DNTN was investigated by a combination of reactive force field molecular dynamics(ReaxFF MD) simulation, solid-phase in situ infrared spectroscopy(in situ IR) and TG-DSC- FTIR-MS simultaneous techniques, and the gas and solid products of the thermal decomposition were analysed, the thermal decomposition mechanism was elucidated. The results showed that the decomposition of DNTN was revealed that the process occurred in three stages. During the first stage from 127 ℃ to 147 ℃, the O—N bond in DNTN was partially broken, releasing a minor amount of NO2 gas. In the second stage, between 147 ℃ and 220 ℃, DNTN underwent rapid decomposition, removing the nitro groups and decomposing the quaternary carbon skeleton, accompanied by the formation and cleavage of the microcyclic structure, releasing a large amount of gases such as NO2 and CO2, and at the same time emitting a large amount of heat. The third stage, taking place within the temperature range of 240—350 ℃, involved the high temperature pyrolysis of the remaining solid product of DNTN, which resulted in a limited release of CO2 gas, and above 300 ℃, the remaining solid phase material would further react to result in the production of cyano. In this paper, the thermal decomposition mechanism of DNTN was illustrated from a multistage perspective, which had important guiding significance for its application in propellants and the follow-up research on stability mechanism.

    Phenylboronic acid(PBA) can form reversible covalent bonds with cis-1,2-diol or 1,3-diol in an aqueous solution, which makes it useful as the glucose-responsive units or dynamic cross-linking groups in nano/hydrogels. In this paper, PBA was efficiently grafted on hydroxypropyl chitosan(HPCS) by employing 2-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)- NNN',N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate(HATU) as a coupling reagent in dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO). The resulting carboxyphenylboronic acid-grafted hydroxypropyl chitosan(CPBA-HPCS) was soluble when pH>8.5, and the structure was characterized and confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR). In addition, the kinetics of the reaction were studied and a series of CPBA-HPCS with different substitution degrees(up to 0.78) was prepared. This novel chitosan derivative has good application prospects in the preparation of smart hydrogels and drug carriers.

    Co3O4/UiO-66@α-Al2O3 ceramic membranes were constructed with α-Al2O3 as the support layer, UiO-66 as the separation layer, and Co3O4 as the catalytic layer. The ceramic membrane exhibits outstanding separation performance of benzene/pyridine. The molar concentration ratio of pyridine to benzene in the gas on the permeate side can be increased from 1 to 17 on the feed side. After O3 was introduced into the system, the concentration of benzene on the feed side was significantly reduced, and its removal rate can reach 89%. The removal rate of pyridine on the permeate side was only 27%, which was retained to a large extent, and the remaining pyridine could be collected for separate advanced treatment. The Co3O4/UiO-66@α-Al2O3 ceramic membrane can effectively solve the emission problem of nitrogen oxides in the waste gas treatment process of the spraying industry, and is expected to be an ideal choice for the waste gas pretreatment process of the spraying industry.

    Fe-N-CDs nanopaticles were successfully prepared by one-step hydrothermal method using L-histidine and Fersulfate heptahydrate(FeSO₄·7H₂O) as precursors. The introduction of Fe atoms produced more active sites on the surface of carbon dots, promoted the electron transfer in the catalytic process, and thus improved the catalytic efficiency of the material. The Fe-N-CDs nanopaticles effectively catalyzed the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to generate hydroxyl radicals(•OH), which subsequently oxidized 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine(TMB) to form a blue oxidation product(oxTMB) with a characteristic absorption peak at 652 nm. Curcumin, a natural polyphenolic compound widely found in plants, exhibits excellent antioxidant properties and antidepressant effects. Leveraging the ability of curcumin to reduce oxTMB and cause its color to fade, a quantitative relationship between the change in absorbance and the curcumin content was established. This enabled the development of a colorimetric sensing method for the detection of curcumin. The experimental results demonstrated that this method possesses good selectivity, anti-interference capability and rapid response characteristics. It can be applied for the colorimetric analysis of antioxidant components in pharmaceuticals and food products, offering a new analytical approach for quality assessment of related products and the development of antidepressant drugs.

    In response to the escalating challenges of global climate change and urban heat island effects, the development of energy-efficient functional materials with high near-infrared(NIR) reflectance and effective thermal regulation capabilities has become a research focus. Traditional oxide materials, such as Bi2MoO6, still exhibit certain limitations in NIR reflectance. In recent years, rare-earth-modified molybdate materials have attracted significant attention in the field of NIR-reflective coatings due to their excellent optical response characteristics and structural stability. In this study, Gd3+-doped Bi2-x Gd x MoO6x=0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) NIR reflective materials were synthesized via a solid-state reaction method. The obtained samples were systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy(EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, near-infrared(NIR) reflectance spectroscopy, thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry(TG-DSC) and thermal insulation performance tests. The results indicated that the synthesized samples exhibited good crystallinity. Gd3+ doping induced a bandgap narrowing (from 2.87 eV to 2.80 eV), leading to a redshift of the absorption edge and enhanced absorption in the 450—600 nm blue-green region, resulting in a more pronounced yellow hue and enabling effective color modulation. All Bi2-x Gd x MoO6 samples exhibited high NIR reflectance, with values exceeding 87.68%, significantly higher than that of TiO2(75.66%). In particular, the sample with x=0.4 demonstrated the highest NIR reflectance of 90.11% and a NIR solar reflectance of 89.53%, which are 14.45% and 9.24% higher than those of TiO2, respectively. Infrared lamp irradiation experiments further confirmed the superior energy-saving and thermal insulation performance of the materials. TG-DSC analysis revealed that Bi2-x Gd x MoO6 pigments possess excellent thermal stability, allowing for long-term application in high-temperature environments. These findings offer a new and promising alternative for high-performance thermal insulation materials.

    This study employs an environmentally-friendly method to synthesize MIL-100(Fe), and utilizes a double-solvent impregnation approach to confine Pt nanoparticles within the pores of MIL-100(Fe), subsequent to acidification with HCl and reduction with formaldehyde, a bifunctional catalyst, Pt/MIL-100(Fe), featuring hydrogenation and Lewis acid centers, is prepared. The catalytic performance is evaluated using the selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde(CAL) as a probe reaction. Under optimal conditions(60 ℃, 1 MPa H2), the conversion of CAL reaches 88.3% in 2 h, with a cinnamyl alcohol(COL) selectivity of 84.9%. By comparing the reaction performance of Pt/MIL-100 catalysts with Cr, Al and Fe metal centers, it is revealed that the Fe center favors for the hydrogenation of C=O bonds in both CAL to COL and furfural to furfuryl alcohol. The impact of water content in the reaction system on the selective hydrogenation of CAL is extensively studied. Characterization and static adsorption experiments indicate that removal of free water from the pores of Pt/MIL-100(Fe) facilitates direct enrichment of CAL in the channels, leading to an enhanced conversion. Additionally, removal of coordinated water from the Fe cluster promotes the adsorption of the C=O group of CAL, resulting in an improved selectivity toward COL. After five catalytic cycles under optimal conditions, Pt/MIL-100(Fe) maintains the catalytic performance. Results of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption characterization confirm the stability of the catalyst structure after reaction.

    A Mn-Cu containing bimetallic phyllosilicate(AMCP) was prepared by one-pot sol-gel method, which was verified to present intrinsic laccase-like and peroxidase-like performance. The results indicated that AMCP presented a well confined 2-dimentional layered structure, and the varied valence states arose from Mn and Cu endow it with excellent enzyme-mimetic activities. Moreover, it exhibits superior pH and temperature tolerance comparing with natural analogue, when the temperature was higher than 70 ℃, AMCP retained above 80% activity while natural enzyme was completely deactivated. Besides, it also remained around 90% activity under pH value of 3—9. Finally, the catalytic mechanism indicated the electron transfer between Mn and Cu accelerated the cycle of Cu2+ and Cu+, which could promote the production of ROS and facilitate the catalytic performance of AMCP. This work provides a novel strategy and direction for the customization of high performance, multi-enzyme mimetic nanozyme, which has a potential application prospect on biosensing, disease therapy and environmental remediation.

    The near-infrared thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF) material 11,12-bis[4-(diphenyla- min)phenyl]dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine-3,6,10,13-tetracarbonitrile(FCNPZ-TPA) was designed and synthesized with dipyridinophenazine as the acceptor unit and triphenylamine(TPA) as the donor unit. The introduction of four cyano groups into the acceptor unit increased its electron-withdrawing strength. Considering that tripheny-lamine is a strong electron-donating group, we successfully pushed the emission of FCNPZ-TPA into Near Infra(NIR) region via the incorporation of strong donor and strong acceptor. The steric hindrance between donor(D) and acceptor(A) led to a twisted D-A molecular configuration of FCNPZ-TPA, and thus achieving a small singlet-triplet energy gap(ΔEST). Due to the rigid molecular skeleton and small ΔEST, FCNPZ-TPA based organic light-emitting diode(OLED) exhibited a state-of-the-art maximum external quantum efficiency(EQE) of 8.01% at 742 nm when doped in the 4,4'-bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1'-biphenyl.

    Apart from the canonical nucleobases, RNA molecules contain a variety of chemical modifications. So far, over 150 different types of RNA modifications have been identified in the three-domain system of life. These chemical modifications do not alter the sequence of RNA, but they can change the structures and biochemical properties of RNA, which thereby can control and regulate the spatiotemporal expression of genes. As an important epigenetic regulation layer, RNA modifications also play crucial roles in regulating plant growth and development and respond to stresses. In recent years, with the rapid advancement of analytical methods, especially the technologies for RNA modification sequencing, the functions and mechanisms of plant RNA modifications have gained in-depth understanding. In the current review, we introduce the functions of plant RNA modifications and summarize the analytical methods for plant RNA modifications. We believe that this review will provide useful information for the systematic study of plant RNA modifications in the future.

    Oxygen plays an important role in life activities and provides an important source of energy for aerobic organisms. Insufficient oxygen supply will lead to tissue hypoxia. Hypoxia is often closely related to inflammation, chronic wounds, tumors and other diseases, and tissue oxygen concentration is also an important basis for evaluating body health. The enormous advantages of optical imaging in terms of spatial resolution, sensitivity and cost-effectiveness make it an important imaging diagnostic tool for inflammation, cancer, brain diseases, and surgical navigation. In this review, we introduce the synthesis strategies of several hypoxia-responsive optical probes and illustrate the applications of different hypoxia optical probes in tumor detection, inflammation monitoring, wound oxygen content imaging, treatment response monitoring and food packaging. Finally, we discussed the application prospect of hypoxia optical imaging.

    Covalent organic frameworks are crystalline porous materials with great application potential in heterogeneous catalysis. We synthesized a new functional covalent organic framework, COF-FL-2, using derivatives of electron-deficient naphthalene diimide(NDI) as monomers. COF-FL-2 has a large pore size and good adsorption performance. The NDI structure on the skeleton can form a stable functional composite with polyoxometalates through π-anion interaction. A novel hybrid heteropolyacid complex, PTA@COF-FL-2, was prepared by loading phosphotungstic acid(PTA) on COF-FL-2. Remarkably, PTA@COF-FL-2 shows high catalytic activity for the epoxidation of olefins with t-BuOOH as the oxidant, and can epoxidate cyclooctene and 1-octene into the corresponding epoxides under mild conditions. PTA@COF-FL-2 can be used for a long time under reaction conditions, and there is no PTA leaching phenomenon when used. In addition, PTA@COF-FL-2 is very convenient to recycle and can be recycled many times.
