The hydrogen bond donor-promoted fixation of CO(2) and epoxides into cyclic carbonates was investigated through experimental and density functional theory studies. A highly effective homogeneous system of 1,2-benzenediol-tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) and heterogeneous poly-ionic liquids were developed for the fixation of CO(2) into cyclic carbonates via hydrogen bond activation, based on the understanding of the reaction mechanism and catalyst design. The work hence provides a molecular level understanding of the reaction process and forms the basis for the rational design of catalytic systems for the fixation of CO(2) into useful organic compounds.

The cycloaddition of CO to epoxide (CCE) reactions produce valuable cyclic carbonates useful in the electrolytes of lithium-ion batteries, as organic solvents, and in polymeric materials. However, halide-containing catalysts are predominantly used in these reactions, despite halides being notoriously corrosive to steel processing equipment and residual halides also having harmful effects. To eliminate the reliance on halides as cocatalyst in most CCE reactions, halide-free catalysts are highly desirable.

Hot dry rock (HDR) is a novel green, low-carbon energy. Its development requires the creation of fracture channels in deep thermal reservoirs. Traditional methods such as hydraulic fracturing have limited effectiveness in reservoir stimulation, so a method of liquid nitrogen cold shock was proposed.

This research investigates the eco-friendly production of iron oxide nanoparticles and their combination with carbon to create the FeC-1and FeC-2 NPs, using seedless pods of Acacia nilotica. These pods, rich in tannins and flavonoids, serve as a natural reducing, stabilizing, and carbon source. The study details the synthesis of FeC NPs through a non-toxic, green method and examines the influence of varying concentrations of Acacia nilotica extract (ANE) on the electrochemical characteristics of the resulting n FeC-1and FeC-2 electrodes.

Article Synopsis
- A new Sonogel-Carbon (SNGC) electrode, enhanced with the amino acid l-leucine, has been created for detecting homovanillic acid (HVA) effectively.
- Electrochemical techniques like cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy confirmed the performance of the SNGC-Leu electrode, which demonstrated a linear detection range for HVA from 0.5 μM to 50 μM and a detection limit of 0.4 μM.
- The SNGC-Leu sensor showed high accuracy in real applications, successfully measuring HVA in human urine and synthetic cerebrospinal fluid with impressive recovery rates.
