Synthesis of a new class of conjugated polyenes containing N-heterocyclic six-membered rings was demonstrated via cyclopolymerization of N-containing 1,7-octadiyne derivatives using Grubbs catalysts. Successful cyclopolymerization was achieved by introducing protecting groups to the amines in the monomers. Moreover, a hydrazide-type monomer containing a di--butyloxycarbonyl group () promoted the living cyclopolymerization to give poly() with a controlled molecular weight and narrow dispersity. This living polymerization allowed us to prepare various conjugated diblock copolymers using poly() as the first block.

In aqueous environments, microplastics (MPs) undergo photoaging, releasing dissolved organic matter (DOM). Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) formation from natural organic matter (NOM) phototransformation has been reported. However, the impact of NOM on the photoaging of MPs (especially nitrogen-containing MPs) and subsequent nitrogenous DBPs (N-DBPs) formation remains unknown.

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NORR) to harmless nitrogen (N) presents a viable approach for purifying NO-contaminated wastewater, yet most current electrocatalysts predominantly produce ammonium/ammonia (NH/NH) due to challenges in facilitating N-N coupling. This study focuses on identifying metal catalysts that preferentially generate N and elucidating the mechanistic origins of their high selectivity. Our evaluation of 16 commercially available metals reveals that only Pb, Sn, and In demonstrated substantial N selectivity (79.

This work explores the synergies between N-rich (Chlorella pyrenoidosa) microalgae and N-deficient (Undaria pinnatifida) macroalgae for the production of N-containing hydrochar and solid biofuels via co-hydrothermal carbonization (co-HTC). The impact of the feedstock (each alga alone and all possible binary mixtures) was comprehensively assessed under different temperatures (180-260 °C) and times (60-240 min). The synergies between micro and macroalgae governed product distribution, nitrogen transformation pathways, and hydrochar quality, with these effects varying by processing conditions.

Dysfunction in the SHP1 enzyme can cause cancers and many diseases, so it is of great significance to develop novel small molecule SHP1 inhibitors. Through continuous monitoring of metabolic and targeted processes of SHP1 inhibitors in real-time, we can evaluate the effectiveness and toxicity of the inhibitors, further optimize drug design, and explore SHP1 biology. Indoloquinoxaline is an important class of N-containing heterocycle, which has been studied and applied in the pharmacological field and in optoelectronic materials.

To explore the effects of the components in the raw materials and by-products of co-pyrolysis on the physicochemical properties of biochar, rice husk (RH, which has a high percentage of lignin and a low content of N) and sawdust (SD, which has a high percentage of both cellulose and N) were used as typical raw materials to prepare co-pyrolysis biochar. The benzene vapor adsorption performance of the obtained biochar was then tested on a fixed-bed device. At the same time, the by-product components generated during pyrolysis were analyzed using thermogravimetric (TG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
