[5]Pseudorotaxanes can be obtained by self-sorting using heteroditopic guests and various cucurbituril homologues as hosts. The assembly and chemically induced disassembly of the pseudorotaxanes can be monitored by measuring the fluorescence of the anthracene guest in solution. Mass spectral evidence for the supramolecular assemblies is obtained in the gas phase. The disassembly in the gas phase can be achieved by collision-induced dissociation leading to the corresponding [2]- and [3]pseudorotaxanes.

Stereochemistry plays a key role in both fundamental chemical processes and the dynamics of a large set of molecular systems of importance in chemistry, medicine and biology. Predicting the chemical transformations of organic precursors in such environments requires detailed kinetic models based on laboratory data. Reactive intermediates play a critical role in constraining the models but their identification and especially their quantification remain challenging.

Mass Transfer-Reaction Modeling of CO Capture Mediated by Immobilized Carbonic Anhydrase Enzyme on Multiscale Supporting Structures.

Environ Sci Technol

January 2025

Zhejiang Key Laboratory of Clean Energy Conversion and Utilization, Science and Education Integration College of Energy and Carbon Neutralization, Zhejiang University of Technology, Hangzhou 310014, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Immobilized carbonic anhydrase (CA) enhances CO absorption in potassium carbonate (PC) solutions, presenting a viable alternative to traditional amine-based carbon capture methods.
  • The study developed cross-scale models to assess how different enzyme immobilization materials—ranging from nanoparticle to macro-scale carriers—affect CO absorption rates, finding that nanoscale carriers are most effective.
  • While increasing enzyme activity can boost absorption rates, diffusion limits, particularly in the liquid phase, impose an upper limit to this enhancement, and smaller particle sizes below 0.35 μm significantly improve performance over benchmark solutions.

Formaldehyde-purifying air conditioner with integrated gas-phase photoelectrocatalytic system.

J Colloid Interface Sci

December 2024

School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430074, China. Electronic address:

Developing an efficient and economical indoor air purification system for catalytic decomposition of formaldehyde is of great significance. In this work, an indoor air conditioner capable of purifying formaldehyde was designed by directly integrating defective WO/TiO nanotube catalytic fin, with both thermal conductivity and gas-phase photoelectrocatalytic (GPEC) properties, onto the condenser component. The electrochemical treatment of the catalytic fin introduced a substantial number of oxygen vacancies, resulting in a significant increase in carrier concentration and mobility to the semi-metallic level.

Co-gasification of blast furnace dust with petcoke for sustainable waste management.

Waste Manag

December 2024

Department of Mineral Processing, CSIR-IMMT, Bhubaneswar, Odisha 751013, India. Electronic address:

This study employed a lab-scale fluidized bed steam gasification setup to perform the co-gasification experiments with blast furnace dust (BFD) and petcoke (PC) - wastes from the steel and refining industries, respectively. Multiple experiments were conducted at the optimized conditions to decipher the effects of the mineralogical content of the feed samples on the gasification performance parameters. With the addition of iron and zinc-abundant BFD sample to PC, an effective enhancement in the ability of the gasifier to produce hydrogen-rich synthesis gas was observed, attributed to an increase in surface active sites for gasification reactivity.
