Transforming liquid flow fuel cells to controllable reactors for highlyefficient oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid at low temperature

Highly-efficient oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurtural(HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid(FDCA) at low temperature with air as the oxidant is still challenging.Herein,inspired by the respirato ry electron transport chain(ETC) of living cells mediated by electron carriers,we constructed artificial ETCs and transformed liquid flow fuel cells(LFFCs) to flexible reactors for efficient oxidation of HMF to produce FDCA under mild conditions.This LFFC reactor employed an electrodeposition modified nickel foam as an anode to promote HMF oxidation and(VO_(2))_(2)SO_(4) as a cathode electron carrier to facilitate the electron transfer to air.The reaction rate could be easily controlled by selecting the anode catalyst,adjusting the external loading and changing the cathodic electron carrier or oxidants.A maximal power density of 44.9 mW cm^(-2) at room temperature was achieved,while for FDCA production,short-circuit condition was preferred to achieve quick transfer of electrons.For a single batch operation with 0.1 M initial HMF,FDCA yield reached 97.1%.By fed-batch operation,FDCA concentration reached 144.5 g L^(-1) with a total yield of 96%.Ni^(2+)/Ni^(3+) redox couple was the active species mediating the electron transfer,while both experimental and DFT calculation results indicated that HMFCA pathway was the preferred reaction mechanism.

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid production via catalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural:Catalysts,processes and reaction mechanism

Biomass conversion to value-added chemicals has received tremendous attention for solving global warming issues and fossil fuel depletion.5-Hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF)is a key bio-based platform molecule to produce many useful organic chemicals by oxidation,hydrogenation,polymerization,and ring-opening reactions.Among all derivatives,the oxidation product 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid(FDCA)is a promising alternative to petroleum-based terephthalic acid for the synthesis of biodegradable plastics.This review analytically discusses the recent progress in the thermocatalytic,electrocatalytic,and photocatalytic oxidation of HMF into FDCA,including catalyst screening,synthesis processes,and reaction mechanism.Rapid fundamental advances may be possible in non-precious metal and metal-free catalysts that are highly efficient under the base-free conditions,and external field-assisted processes like electrochemical or photoelectrochemical cells.

High efficient catalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid under benign conditions with nitrogen-doped graphene encapsulated Cu nanoparticles

Selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfual(HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid(FDCA) as a bioplastics monomer is efficiently promoted by a simple system without noble-metal and base additives. In this work, graphene oxide(GO) was first synthesised by an electrochemical method with flexible graphite paper(FGP) as start carbon material, then, nitrogen-doped graphene(NG) layers encapsulated Cu nanoparticles(NPs) was prepared by one-step thermal treatment of GO supported Cu2+ in flowing NH3 atmosphere. Compared with NG supported Cu NPs prepared by the traditional impregnation method, enhanced catalytic activity was achieved over Cu/NG and an FDCA yield of 95.2% was achieved under mild reaction conditions with tert-butylhydroperoxide(t-BuOOH) as the oxidant. Control experiments with different catalysts and different addition procedure of t-BuOOH showed the yield of HMF and various intermediates during reaction. From the changing of intermediates concentrations and reaction rates, a reaction pathway through HMF-DFF-FFCA-FDCA was proposed. This work gives a more convenient, more green,more economical and effective method in encapsulated metal NPs preparation and high selectivity in HMF oxidation to FDCA under mild conditions.

A new approach for the aerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid without using transition metal catalysts

The organic compound 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid（FDCA） has been identified by the US Department of Energy（DOE） as a valuable platform chemical for a wide range of industrial applications. Currently, the most popular route for FDCA synthesis is reported to be the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural（HMF）by O_2 over the catalysis of noble metals（e.g., Au, Pt, Ru, and Pd）. However, the high costs of noble metal catalysts remain a major barrier for producing FDCA at an industrial scale. Herein, we report a transition metal-free synthesis strategy for the oxidation of HMF to FDCA under O_2 or ambient air. A simple but unprecedented process for the aerobic oxidation of HMF was carried out in organic solvents using only bases as the promoters. According to the high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） analysis, excellent product yield（91%） was obtained in the presence of NaOH in dimethylformamide（DMF） at room temperature（25 ℃）. A plausible mechanism for the NaOH-promoted aerobic oxidation of HMF in DMF is also outlined in this paper. After the reaction, the sodium salt of FDCA particles were dispersed in the reaction mixture, making it possible for product separation and solvent reuse. The new HMF oxidation approach is expected to be a practical alternative to current ones, which depend on the use of noble metal catalysts.

Synthesis and Characterization of Poly(terephthalic acid-2,5-furandicarboxylic acid-1,8-octanediol) Copolyester

Terephthalic acid,2,5-furandicarboxylic acid and 1,8-octanediol were adopted as monomers and antimony trioxide as catalyst,and poly(terephthalic acid-2,5-furandicarboxylic acid-1,8-octanediol) copolyesters identified as PEOT-x,where x is the mole fraction of furandicarboxylic acid in the samples,were synthesized by direct esterification.The molecular structure of the copolyesters was characterized by FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy.Gel permeation chromatography (GPC),differential scanning calorimetry (DSC),and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to characterize the molecular weight,molar mass dispersity,glass transition temperature,and thermal stability of the copolyesters,respectively.The mechanical properties of the samples were also investigated.The number-average molecular weight (M_(n)) of the samples varies from 9 700-18 800 g/mol,and molar mass dispersity (■=M_(w)/M_(n)) from 2.15-3.34.The initial decomposition temperature of the copolyesters is in the 332-356 ℃ range,with maximum decomposition rates at 390-410 ℃,while the glass transition temperature (Tg) varies from 0-33 ℃.Mechanical test shows that PEOT-10 has the highest tensile strength,while PEOT-90 has the largest tensile modulus and elongation at break.The experimental results show that these copolyesters can be synthesized with relatively high molecular weights,good thermal stability,and fair mechanical properties,which makes them excellent replacements for commercial polyesters,such as PET,and these properties can be tuned through the relative amounts of biomass monomer 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid used in the reactions.

Lubricating properties of ester oil prepared from bio-based 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid

The depletion of petroleum resources and the intensification of environmental problems have necessitated the development of renewable products from bio-based chemicals instead of petroleum resources.Herein,a new kind of ester lubricating oil,isooctyl furan dicarboxylate(isooctyl-FD),was prepared from bio-based 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid.The structure of isooctyl-FD was evaluated using nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and high-resolution mass spectroscopy.Its physicochemical and tribological properties including thermal and oxidation stabilities,flash point and pour point,viscosity and viscosity index,and friction-reducing and anti-wear properties were systematically evaluated.The results show that isooctyl-FD has comparable thermal and oxidation stability to the synthetic ester lubricating oil,isooctyl sebacate(isooctyl-S).Its friction-reducing and anti-wear properties are superior to isooctyl-S;however,its viscosity-temperature and low-temperature properties are inferior to isooctyl-S.

目的观察龟羚帕安丸对帕金森病(Parkinson’s disease,PD)大鼠血清神经元特异性烯醇化酶(Neuron-specific enolase,NSE)、胱抑素C(Cystatin C,Cys-C)、5-羟色胺(5-Hydroxytryptamine,5-HT)、5-羟基吲哚乙酸(5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid,5-HIAA)及去甲肾上腺素(Norepinephrine,NE)水平的影响。方法采用6-羟基多巴胺(6-OHDA)立体定向注射法制作PD大鼠模型,造模成功的PD大鼠随机分为模型组,西药组,中药高、中、低剂量组,中西药合用组,每组15只,另设假手术组15只。模型组及假手术组给予等容积生理盐水灌胃,其余组给予相应药物灌胃,连续给药28 d。大鼠腹主动脉取血,用酶联免疫吸附测定法(Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay,ELISA)检测各组大鼠血清NSE、Cys-C、5-HT、5-HIAA及NE的水平。结果模型组大鼠血清NSE及Cys-C水平均明显升高,血清5-HT、5-HIAA及NE水平均明显降低;中药各剂量组、中西药合用组、西药组血清NSE及Cys-C水平均明显降低,5-HT、5-HIAA及NE水平均明显升高。结论龟羚帕安丸具有明显神经保护作用,作用机制与降低NSE及Cys-C水平,增加5-HT、5-HIAA及NE水平,降低脑实质损伤、神经炎症损伤及提高单胺类神经递质有关。

5-氨基酮戊酸光动力治疗对鲍温病皮损中p53 Caveolin-1表达的影响

目的:探讨5-氨基酮戊酸光动力疗法对鲍温病皮损中p53、Caveolin-1表达的影响及意义。方法:运用5-氨基酮戊酸光动力疗法治疗鲍温病及周围正常皮肤组织各40例,采用免疫组织化学技术(SP法)检测光动力治疗前后鲍温病及周围正常皮肤组织中p53、Caveolin-1的阳性细胞表达率。结果:治疗前p53蛋白在正常皮肤组织及BD中表达的阳性率分别为10%、40%(χ^(2)=11.202,P<0.001),差异有统计学意义。治疗后p53在正常皮肤组织及BD的阳性率为10%、5%(χ^(2)=0.712,P=0.399),两者间差异无统计学意义。治疗前后p53在BD中的阳性表达率差异有统计学意义(χ^(2)=14.811,P<0.001)。治疗前Caveolin-1在正常皮肤组织及BD中阳性表达率为15%、55%(χ^(2)=14.449,P<0.001),两者间差异有统计学意义。治疗后正常皮肤组织及BD中Caveolin-1的阳性率为5%、12.5%(χ^(2)=0.816,P=0.366),差异无统计学意义。治疗前后Caveolin-1在BD中的阳性表达率差异有统计学意义(χ^(2)=19.013,P<0.001)。BD中p53与Caveolin-1阳性表达呈正相关性(r=0.533,P=0.015)。结论:p53及Caveolin-1的高表达可能与BD的发生密切关联,且ALA-PDT能够抑制p53及Caveolin-1的表达,从而抑制疾病的发展。通过更大样本量的研究,p53及Caveolin-1可能会成为皮肤相关疾病的诊断工具,并为其治疗提供新的靶点。
