The authors investigated the sensitivity of 10 strains of bacteria genus Clostridium to newly synthetized organic ammonium salts series N-[2-(dodecanoylamino)ethyl] alkyl dimethyl ammonium bromides and N-[2-(dodecanoylamino)ethyl] alkyl dimethyl ammonium bromides. The most effective of the two series of compounds were n-hexyl, n-octyl and n-decyl derivatives, the antibacterial activity of which is comparable with the effectiveness of a selected disinfectant Septonex and is several times greater, as compared with the effectiveness of Ajatin.

The increasing prevalence of micropollutants like cationic and anionic dyes in wastewater creates an influential environmental challenge, mainly due to their toxic effects and persistence. Current methods often lack the efficiency and versatility to cope with a wide variety of contaminants. This study explores the modification of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNF) using (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (CHPTAC) to enhance their cationic properties.

Solar energy sources have garnered significant attention as a renewable energy option. Despite this, the practical power conversion efficiency (PCE) of widely used silicon-based solar cells remains low due to inefficient light utilization. In this study, carbon dots (APCDs) were prepared a hydrothermal method using ammonium polyphosphate and -phenylenediamine, then incorporated into a silicone-acrylic emulsion (CAS) to create a luminescent down-shifting (LDS) layer for solar cells.

Background: Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that ambient concentrations of particulate matter < 2.5 μm (PM) are associated with reduced fecundability, the per cycle probability of conception. The specific constituents driving this association are unknown.

In this work, we present an efficient strategy for the straightforward synthesis of functionalized 1,6-dihydropyridine derivatives a three-component reaction of 3-vinylchromones, aromatic aldehydes, and ammonium acetate. A tandem procedure including NH aldimine formation/Michael-type addition/opening of the pyrone ring/isomerization/6π-electrocyclization/[1,5]-H shift allows rapid access to a series of dihydropyridines bearing an -hydroxybenzoyl and a benzoyl scaffold in good yields. Readily available precursors, simple heating conditions, and operational simplicity are some highlighted advantages of this transformation.

Cathode materials with both high capacity and high operating voltage are essential for advancing aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). Conventional high-capacity materials, such as vanadium-based compounds, typically deliver low discharge voltages. In contrast, organic cathodes show high operating voltages but often exhibit limited capacity.
