Efficient Photosynthesis of Hydrogen Peroxide from Water and Air over Water-Dispersible Anthraquinone-Based Porous Aromatic Frameworks.

Photosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide from earth-abundant water and air over organo-based semiconducting materials is a promising alternative to the traditional anthraquinone (AQ) method. However, the generally hydrophobic nature of organic semiconductors has led to their poor dispersibilities in aqueous systems, which built huge barriers for photon capture and reactant contact in water-based photocatalysis. Aiming at this issue, this study reports the facile synthesis of AQ-based porous aromatic frameworks (AQ-PAFs) by coupling of AQ fragments with thiophene-derived linkers via robust carbon-carbon bonds.

Preparation of temperature-responsive pickering emulsions for encapsulating compound essential oils and their application in fresh noodle preservation.

In the present study, corn starch was modified to create temperature-responsive particles, which were employed as an emulsifier to formulate Pickering emulsions (PE) for the encapsulation of compound essential oils (CEO). The temperature responsiveness of CEOPE endows PE with the characteristics of faster release rate at lower temperature and more stability at room temperature, aligning with the typical low-temperature storage conditions of fresh noodles. The characteristics of CEOPE with different oil-water ratios were analyzed by morphology, particle size, PDI, zeta-potential, FTIR and rheological measurements.

Distinct Diffusion and Recombination Dynamics of Atomic Carbon and Oxygen on Face-Centered Cubic and Body-Centered Cubic Iron Multilayers.

This study investigates the distinctly different dynamics of atomic carbon and oxygen diffusion, both on the surface and into the bulk of iron multilayer films with face-centered cubic (FCC) (100) and body-centered cubic (BCC) (110) structures, and how these processes impact the recombination behavior of carbon and oxygen, particularly at elevated temperatures. On FCC-iron (γ-iron), CO dissociation occurs around 300 K, leading to the formation of segregated carbide and oxide islands on the surface upon annealing. Above the onset temperature of 600 K, mobile oxygen atoms diffuse to the edge of the carbide islands, where they combine with carbon to form CO.

Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography-Based Enrichment Method for Deciphering the N-Phosphorylated Proteome Landscape.

Protein N-phosphorylation, especially in mammals, was gradually studied and attracted widespread attention. However, the lack of effective enrichment methods resulted from the intrinsic lability of the P-N bond under acidic conditions, which seriously hindered biological function elucidation. In this work, hydrophilic two-dimensional nanocomposites with enhanced hydrophilicity and coordination interaction with phosphate were designed as the HILIC stationary phase, and then the HILIC-based strategy was developed for enrichment of N-phosphopeptides under neutral conditions.
