A catalytic quantity of ZrCl 4 (20 mol %) was found to be an efficient catalyst for the one-pot esterification and deprotection of (5 S,6 R)-5,6-diacetoxyoct-7-enoic acid in good yields (44-62%) with a lactone formed as a minor byproduct. ZrCl 4 (10-20 mol %) was also sufficient to deprotect 1,3-dioxalane, bis-TBDMS ethers, and diacetate functional groups in excellent yields of up to 93%. ZrCl 4 (1-10 mol %) also promoted diol protection as the acetonide in 90% yield and acted as a trans-esterification catalyst for a range of esters.

Designing an ideal catalyst with antifouling performance and enhanced conversion efficiency can prevent microbial or dye contamination and protect the active phase of the catalysts at the triple-phase interface during disinfection processes. Herein, we developed an Lous-leaf-inspired nanometal anchored redox-active Janus nanoarchitecture with dynamic wetting abilities and synergistic catalytic/antibacterial performances. Specifically, the redox-active hydrophilic polydopamine (PDA) was used to mediate the localized self-assembly and nucleation of Ag on a cotton fabric without using other reductants.

Heteroatom doping is a promising strategy for optimizing the photocatalytic activity of semiconductors. However, relying solely on single-element doping often poses challenges in modulating the capabilities of semiconductors. Herein, we adopt a strategy of simultaneously modifying ZnInS with the double non-metallic elements nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) to form (N, O)-ZnInS.

The photocatalytic hydrogen (H) evolution reaction driven by solar energy is one of the most promising methods to alleviate energy and environmental problems. Regrettably, the rapid recombination of photogenerated electrons and hole pairs in semiconductor catalysts leads to low solar energy conversion efficiency. To address this problem, we chose the method of co-catalyst loading.

Donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymers have been widely reported as promising photocatalysts for organic conversion. However, achieving excellent photocatalytic performance still relies on the rational design of molecular structures and the careful selection of appropriate building blocks. In this study, we designed two D-A type conjugated porous polymers (CPPs) using 2,7,12-tribromo-5,5,10,10,15,15-hexamethyl-10,15-dihydro-5H-diindeno[1,2-a:1',2'-c]fluorene (Tx) as the donor unit and two 1,3,5-triazine-based derivatives, namely 2,4,6-tri(thiophen-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (TTT) and 2,4,6-triphenyl-1,3,5-triazine (TPT), as the acceptor units.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) with ultra-low Pt loading is highly desirable but confronts challenges of deficient activity and durability for practical application. Herein, we report a newly integrated catalyst layer based on 3D porous B-doped graphene (3D-PBG) with the atomic layer deposition of Pt (Pt/3D-PBG) for PEMFC, in which highly graphitized 3D-PBG not only provides a robust framework to support Pt but also B dopants further enhances the deposition of Pt and their electronic interaction, resulting in high-performance PEMFC at ultra-low Pt loading. The cell with Pt/3D-PBG at 80.
