Enhanced removal of phosphonates from aqueous solution using PMS/UV/hydrated zirconium oxide process

Traditional treatment processes cannot completely remove phosphonates in circulating cooling water by one-step method. Herein, we designed peroxymonosulfate/UV irradiation/hydrated zirconium oxide(PMS/UV/HZO) coupling process to enhance the phosphonates removal. In particular, nitrilotrismethylenephosphonic acid(NTMP) removal efficiency by PMS/UV/HZO process was much higher than that of PMS/UV process, UV/HZO process and other processes in comparison experiments. Specifically,almost 97.2% NTMP in water was degraded, and the total phosphorous(TP) reduced from 9.3 mg/L to 0.26 mg/L at pH 7 within 180 min. TP removal efficiency still reached above 90% after 5 cycles adsorptiondesorption of HZO. Moreover, Cl^(-), NO_(3)-and SO_(4)^(2-)ions all had negligible effect on NTMP removal. During the process, NTMP was first destroyed to form phosphates and other intermediates by the reactive oxygen species(ROS), then phosphates were in situ immobilized via HZO adsorption. Sulfate radical(SO_(4)^(·-))has been confirmed to be the major ROS in the reaction system by quenching experiment and electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR) characterization. And the excellent selective adsorption capacity of HZO for phosphate produced was attributed to the strong inner-sphere coordination between H_(2)PO_(4)-/HPO_(4)^(2-)and Zr-OH on the surface of HZO. These results suggest that PMS/UV/HZO process is a promising technique for enhanced phosphonates decontamination.

Synthesis of chiral allylic phosphonates via asymmetric reductive cross-coupling of α-bromophosphonates and vinyl bromides

Chiral phosphine-containing skeletons play a pivotal role in bioactive natural products, pharmaceuticals, chiral catalysts, and ligands. Despite considerable progress has been made in the synthesis of chiral phosphorus compounds, the development of facile and modular methods to access chiral allylic phosphorus compounds remains challenging due to the simultaneous control required for reactivity, enantioselectivity, and stereoselectivity. Herein, we present a general and modular platform to achieve the asymmetric reductive cross-coupling of α-bromophosphonates and vinyl bromides, enabling the synthesis of highly valuable chiral allylic phosphonate products with remarkable yields, enantioselectivities, and stereoselectivities.

Activating Ru in the pyramidal sites of Ru_(2)P-type structures with earth-abundant transition metals for achieving extremely high HER activity while minimizing noble metal content

Rational design of efficient pH-universal hydrogen evolution reaction catalysts to enable large-scale hydrogen production via electrochemical water splitting is of great significance,yet a challenging task.Herein,Ru atoms in the Ru_(2)P structure were replaced with M=Co,Ni,or Mo to produce M_(2-x)Ru_(x)P nanocrystals.The metals show strong site preference,with Co and Ni occupying the tetrahedral sites and Ru the square pyramidal sites of the CoRuP and NiRuP Ru_(2)P-type structures.The presence of Co or Ni in the tetrahedral sites leads to charge redistribution for Ru and,according to density functional theory calculations,a significant increase in the Ru d-band centers.As a result,the intrinsic activity of CoRuP and NiRuP increases considerably compared to Ru_(2)P in both acidic and alkaline media.The effect is not observed for MoRuP,in which Mo prefers to occupy the pyramidal sites.In particular,CoRuP shows state-of-the-art activity,outperforming Ru_(2)P with Pt-like activity in 0.5 M H_(2)SO_(4)(η10=12.3 mV;η100=52 mV;turnover frequency(TOF)=4.7 s^(-1)).It remains extraordinarily active in alkaline conditions(η10=12.9 mV;η100=43.5 mV)with a TOF of 4.5 s^(-1),which is 4x higher than that of Ru_(2)P and 10x that of Pt/C.Further increase in the Co content does not lead to drastic loss of activity,especially in alkaline medium,where,for example,the TOF of Co_(1.9)Ru_(0.1)P remains comparable to that of Ru_(2)P and higher than that of Pt/C,highlighting the viability of the adopted approach to prepare cost-efficient catalysts.

Intermolecular Acid-Base-Pairs Containing Poly(p-Terphenyl-co-lsatin Piperidinium)for High Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

How to optimize and regulate the distribution of phosphoric acid in matrix,and pursuing the improved electrochemical performance and service lifetime of high temperature proton exchange membrane(HT-PEMs)fuel cell are significant challenges.Herein,bifunctional poly(p-terphenyl-co-isatin piperidinium)copolymer with tethered phosphonic acid(t-PA)and intrinsic tertiary amine base groups are firstly prepared and investigated as HT-PEMs.The distinctive architecture of the copolymer provides a well-designed platform for rapid proton transport.Protons not only transports through the hydrogen bond network formed by the adsorbed free phosphoric acid(f-PA)anchored by the tertiary amine base groups,but also rely upon the proton channel constructed by the ionic cluster formed by the t-PA aggregation.Thorough the design of the structure,the bifunctional copolymers with lower PA uptake level(<100%)display prominent proton conductivities and peak power densities(99 mS cm^(-1),812 mW cm^(-2)at 160℃),along with lower PA leaching and higher voltage stability,which is a top leading result in disclosed literature.The results demonstrate that the design of intermolecular acid-base-pairs can improve the proton conductivity without sacrificing the intrinsic chemical stability or mechanical property of the thin membrane,realizing win-win demands between the mechanical robustness and electrochemical properties of HT-PEMs.
