Enveloped viruses encased within a lipid bilayer membrane are highly contagious and can cause many infectious diseases like influenza COVID-19, thus calling for effective prevention inactivation strategies. Here, we develop diatomic iron nanozyme with lipoxidase-like (LOX-like) activity the of enveloped virus. The sites destruct viral envelope via peroxidation, displaying non-specific virucidal property. In contrast, natural LOX exhibits low antiviral performance, manifesting advantage over...
We report the effect of water on conversion ethene with H-ZSM-5 to make aromatics at 300–500 °C. found that seriously decreased and yield aromatics, suppressed hydrogen transfer reaction, changed distribution low reaction temperature (300 °C). However, became relatively insignificant an increase in temperature. Characterization by TGA, situ FTIR, GC-MS a simulation DFT validated cofed preferentially adsorbs Brønsted acid site (BAS) catalysts, comparison ethene, leading formation Z–OH···H2O...
Plastic waste has imposed significant burdens on the environment. Chemical recycling allows for repeated regeneration of plastics without deterioration in quality, but often requires harsh reaction conditions, thus being environmentally unfriendly. Enzymatic catalysis offers a promising solution under mild it faces inherent limitations such as poor stability, high cost, and narrow substrate applicability. Biomimetic may provide new avenue by combining enzyme-like activity with stability...
Chemical recycling of plastic waste could reduce its environmental impact and create a more sustainable society. Hydrogenolysis is viable method for polyolefin valorization but typically requires high hydrogen pressures to minimize methane production. Here, we circumvent this stringent requirement using dilute RuPt alloy suppress the undesired terminal C–C scission under hydrogen-lean conditions. Spectroscopic studies reveal that PE adsorption takes place on both Ru Pt sites, yet bond...
Electronic energy band structure of In-doped ZnO transparent conducting oxide was investigated by density functional calculations using local approximation+Hubbard U (LDA+U) scheme. By systematically calculating the formation energies and transition levels In atom In-related complex in ZnO, it has been shown that substitutional a low introduces shallow donor level, which is 38 meV below conduction-band minimum. Substitutional atoms contribute significantly delocalized s orbitals conduction...
Most metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have an insulating nature due to their porosity and redox-inactive organic components. The electrical conductivity of the prototypical MOF, HKUST-1, can be tuned by infiltrating a small-molecule semiconductor, 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), into HKUST-1 pores, creating TCNQ@HKUST-1. However, current processes TCNQ@HKUST-1 films many roadblocks such as slow crystallization rates, which limit high throughput production, formation Cu(TCNQ)...
Abstract Remediation and reuse of discarded plastics can reduce their accumulation in the environment bring energy savings for plastic production. Here we discover a binuclear zinc catalyst that features biomimetic intramolecular pathway polyester depolymerization, which not merely enables environmental degradation PET but also affords industrial-scale recycling under relatively mild conditions. The delivers specific activity 36 mg d -1 g catal toward depolymerization at pH 8 40 o C, very...
