Sodium phenoxide is a potentially promising hydrogen storage material due to its high hydrogen capacity and enhanced thermodynamic properties. Nevertheless, efficient catalysts are still lacking due to the high kinetic barrier for the reversible hydrogen uptake and release of sodium phenoxide. In the current work, a comparative study on the catalytic hydrogenation of sodium phenoxide was conducted. To our delight, a simple yet effective ruthenium-based catalyst was identified to respond aggressively to hydrogen in the solid-state hydrogenation of sodium phenoxide even at room temperature. The activity was enhanced by 6 fold with the as-synthesized 5.0% Ru/TiO catalyst as compared to that with commercial 5.0% Ru/AlO, respectively, under the same conditions.

Combining carboxylation reactions using carbon dioxide (CO) as a reactant with phenol results in creation of new C-C bonds, and represents one of the most promising routes in sustainable utilization of ubiquitous and readily available resources for production of highly valuable products. This study provides a detailed and well-structured investigation of the effect of various reaction conditions (reactant loading, reaction duration, temperature, CO pressure) on the carboxylation of phenol. Sodium phenoxide carboxylation showed well-resolved trends with variation of temperature and time, and resulted in production of salicylic acid (SA) in the range of 11.

Conversion of CO into organic chemicals offers a promising route for advancing the circularity of carbon capture, utilisation, and storage in line with the international 2050 Net Zero agenda. The widely known commercialised chemical fixation of CO into organic chemicals is the century-old Kolbe-Schmitt reaction, which carboxylates phenol (via sodium phenoxide) into salicylic acid. The carboxylation reaction is normally carried out between the gas-solid phases in a batch reactor.

In this study, we successfully synthesized a small-sized gold nanocluster (2 nm) coated with homogeneous tripeptides bearing azido and amino groups that enable facile multifunctionalizations. Using sodium phenoxide to reduce tetrachloroauric(iii) acid in the presence of the cysteine-containing tripeptide, we efficiently prepared the gold nanoclusters without damaging the azido group. We then utilized this clickable bisreactive nanocluster as a versatile platform for synthesizing multifunctionalized gold nanomaterials.

Polybenzoxazine (PBZ) exhibits excellent heat resistance, and PBZ derivatives have been designed and synthesized to achieve high performance. However, the application range of PBZ is limited by the strong interactions between molecular chains and its low solubility in organic solvents, thereby limiting its processability. This study focused on the benzoxazine structure as the molecular backbone of new hydrogel materials that can be applied as electrolyte materials and prepared functional gel materials.
