The important stationary points on the potential energy surface of the reaction CH(3)O(2) + NO have been investigated using ab initio and density functional theory techniques. The optimizations were carried out at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) and MP2/6-311++G(d,p) levels of theory while the energetics have been refined using the G2MP2, G3//B3LYP, and CCSD(T) methodologies. The calculations allow the proper characterization of the transition state barriers that determine the fate of the nascent association conformeric minima of methyl peroxynitrite. The main products, CH(3)O + NO(2), are formed through either rearrangement of the trans-conformer to methyl nitrate and its subsequent dissociation or via the breaking of the peroxy bond of the cis-conformer to CH(3)O + NO(2) radical pair. The important consequences of the proposed mechanism are (a) the allowance on energetic grounds for nitrate formation parallel to radical propagation under favorable external conditions and (b) the confirmation of the conformational preference of the homolytic cleavage of the peroxy bond, discussed in previous literature.

Energetic ionic liquids have a high potential to replace the traditional monopropellant hydrazine as a high-energy green propellant and can be widely used in aerospace technology. A high-energy ionic liquid─HEHN has also gained extensive attention from researchers. To explore the reaction mechanism of HEHN and establish a chemical kinetic model for high-energy ionic liquid propellants, 28 hydrogen abstraction reactions of HEH, which is the main decomposition product of HEHN, were investigated in this study.

Based on a typical ozone （O） pollution process in Jinan City from June 16 to 26, 2021, the variation characteristics of O and its precursor volatile organic compounds （VOCs） during different pollution periods （clean period （CP）, pollution rise period （PRP）, heavy pollution period （HPP）, and pollution decline period （PDP）） in the urban area were analyzed. Both positive matrix factorization （PMF） and an observation-based model （OBM） were used to identify the main sources of VOCs, O production mechanisms, and sensitive species. The results showed that the average value of （O-8h） during the HPP period in the urban area was （246.

Criegee intermediates play an important role in the oxidizing capacity of the Earth's troposphere. Although extensive studies have been conducted on Criegee intermediates in the past decade, their kinetics with radical species remain underexplored. We investigated the kinetics of the simplest Criegee intermediate, CHOO, with the methyl peroxy radical, CHO, as a model system to explore the reactivities of Criegee intermediates with peroxy radicals.

High-molecular-weight chitosan has limited applications due to unsatisfactory solubility and hydrophilicity. Discharge plasma coupled with peracetic acid (PAA) oxidation ("plasma+PAA") realized fast depolymerization of high-molecular-weight chitosan in this study. The molecular weight of chitosan rapidly declined to 81.
