Herin, a new nanohybrid acid catalyst was fabricated for the efficient biodiesel production. At the first, magnetic porous nanosheets of graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN@FeO) was prepared and then functionalized with sulfonic acid. Next, the preparation of the catalyst was completed by mixing this surface modified support with n-methyl imidazolium butyl sulfonate zwitterion to achieve non-covalent immobilized acidic ionic liquid on g-CN@FeO support.

As a promising conjugated polymer, binary carbon nitride has attracted extensive attention as a metal-free and visible-light-responsive photocatalyst in the area of photon-involving purification of water and air. Herein, we report sulfur-doped polymeric carbon nitride microrods that are synthesized through thermal polymerization based on trithiocyanuric acid and melamine (TM) supramolecular aggregates. By tuning the polymerization temperature, a series of sulfur-doped carbon nitride microrods are prepared.

Article Synopsis
  • A new PAMAM system was developed that uses a light harvesting antenna with yellow-green emitting donor units to absorb light and transfer energy to a Rhodamine 6G acceptor.
  • The system is structured in a way that enables it to function as a molecular fluorescence probe, utilizing both electron transfer and pH-dependent absorption.
  • This combination allows the antenna to act as a selective ratiometric pH fluorescence probe, making it useful for monitoring pH changes in complex solutions.
