Highly reinforce the interface stability using 2-Phenyl-1H-imidazole-1-sulfonate electrolyte additive to enhance the high temperature performance of LiNi_(0.8)Co_(0.1)Mn_(0.1)O_(2)/graphite batteries

This work develops 2-Phenyl-1H-imidazole-1-sulfonate(PHIS)as a multi-functional electrolyte additive for H2O/HF scavenging and film formation to improve the high temperature performance of LiNi_(0.8)Co_(0.1)Mn_(0.1)O_(2)/graphite batteries.After 450 cycles at room temperature(25℃),the discharge capacity retentions of batteries with blank and PHIS-containing electrolyte are 56.03%and 94.92%respectively.After 230 cycles at high temperatures(45℃),their values are 75.30%and 88.38%respectively.The enhanced electrochemical performance of the batteries with PHIS-containing electrolyte is supported by the spectroscopic characterization and theoretical calculations.It is demonstrated that this PHIS electrolyte additive can facilitate the construction of the electrode interface films,remove the H2O/HF in the electrolyte,and improve the electrochemical performance of the batteries.This work not only develops a sulfonate-based electrolyte but also can stimulate new ideas of functional additives to improve the battery performance.

U(VI) reduction by Shewanella oneidensis mediated by anthraquinone-2-sulfonate

Anthraquinone-2-sulfonate（AQS） was employed in humus substitutes to evaluate the effects and influencing factors of U（VI） reduction by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1（S. oneidensis MR-1） under anaerobic condition. The removal rate of U（VI） at 30 °C reaches 99.0% afterd 96 h with the p H value of 7.0 and AQS concentration of 1.0 mmol/L. The effective concentrations of AQS as the accelerator for U（VI） bioreduction are approximately 0.5-1.0 mmol/L. The bioreduction of U（VI） is inhibited when the concentration of AQS exceeds 2.0 mmol/L. The coexistence of ions, such as Cu2＋, Cr6＋, Mn2＋, shows a remarkable negative effect on the U（VI） reduction, and Zn2＋ shows less influence on the process compared with other tested ions. The U（VI） reduction is remarkably inhibited when the concentration of nitrate ion exceeds 1.0 mmol/L. Otherwise, no difference is found when the nitrate ion concentration is less than 0.5 mmol/L. Sulfate ion（5.0 mmol/L） slightly promotes the U（VI） reduction. Zero-valent iron（ZVI） promotes the U（VI） reduction by S. oneidensis, and the reduction rate improves with increasing the amount of ZVI in the range of 0-2.0 g/L. The XPS result indicates that uranium deposits on the cell surface are in U（VI） and U（IV） forms, and the majority of uranium in the solution is stable UO2.

Propane-2-sulfonic acid octadec-9-enyl-amide,a novel PPARα/γ dual agonist,protects against ischaemiainduced brain damage in mice by inhibiting inflammatory responses

OBJECTIVE Propane-2-sulfonic acid octadec-9-enyl-amide(N15),an analogue of oleoylethanolamide(OEA),is a novel PPARα/γdual agonist.Our previous studies verified the positive effects of OEA on the acute and delayed stages of cerebral ischaemia.However,it is not clear whether N15 is effective against ischaemic cerebral injury.In the present study,male Kunming mice were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO).METHODS To evaluate its preventive effects,N15(50,100 or 200 mg·kg-1,ip)was administered for3 d before ischaemia.To evaluate its therapeutic effects,N15(200 mg·kg-1,ip)was administered 1 h before reperfusion or 0,1,2 or 4 h after reperfusion.Neurological deficit scores,infarct volume and the degree of brain oedema were determined at 24 h after reperfusion.Blood brain barrier(BBB)disruption was evaluated by Evans blue(EB)leakage at 6 h after reperfusion.The activation/inflammatory responses of microglia were detected using immunohistochemistry and Western blotting.RESULTS N15 pretreatment improved neurological dysfunction,reduced infarct volume and alleviated brain oedema in a dose-dependent manner;the most effective dose was 200 mg·kg-1.The therapeutic time window was within 2 h after reperfusion.Moreover,N15was more potent in the treatment of cerebral ischaemia injury than OEA.N15 treatment preserved the BBB integrity and suppressed the activation of microglia.N15 inhibited inflammatory cytokine expression not only in MCAO mice but also in lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-stimulated BV-2microglial cells.Moreover,N15 decreased the phosphorylation levels of NF-κBp65,STAT3,and ERK1/2 both in vivo and in vitro.CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrated that N15 exerts neuroprotective effects and was more potent than OEA.Additionally,the neuroprotective effects of N15 on cerebral ischaemia may be attributed to its anti-inflammatory properties,at least in part,by enhancing PPARα/γdual signalling and inhibiting the activation of the NF-κB,STAT3,and ERK1/2 signalling pathways.These findings suggest that N15 may be a potential therapeutic choice for the prevention and treatment of ischaemic stroke.

The work herein employed a rotating packed bed(RPB)to intensify the sulfonation process of 1,4-diaminoanthraquinone leuco(DL)in an attempt to improve the yield of the product 1,4-diaminoanthra quinone-2-sulfonic acid(DSA).First,the effects of operating conditions in a stirred tank reactor(STR),including stirring speed,chlorosulfonic acid/DL molar ratio(η),solvent/DL mass ratio(ζ),reaction temperature and dropping speed of chlorosulfonic acid,on the yield of DSA were investigated.The yield of DSA can reach 87.34%under the optimal operating conditions:stirring speed of 500 r·min^(-1),ηof 4.5,ζof 7,reaction temperature of 150℃,dropping speed of 0.61 ml·min^(-1).In addition,the kinetics of the sulfonation process via the shrinking core model revealed that the reaction is controlled by diffusion via a product layer under the reaction temperature of 140℃.Furthermore,the RPB was employed to intensify the mass transfer between liquid and solid phases during the sulfonation reaction process.The results showed that the DSA yield of 92.69%obtained by RPB was 5.35%higher than that by STR,indicating that RPB can significantly intensify the mass transfer in the liquid-solid phase sulfonation reaction process.

Assembly of 3-sulfonated 2H-pyrrol-2-ones through the insertion of sulfur dioxide with allenoic amides

Generation of 3-sulfonated 2 H-pyrrol-2-ones through a three-component reaction of allenoic amides,sulfur dioxide,and aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates under metal-free conditions is achieved.This transformation proceeds under mild conditions without the addition of catalysts or additives,giving rise to 3-sulfonated 2 H-pyrrol-2-ones in moderate to good yields.Good functional group compatibility is observed.A plausible mechanism is proposed,which is initiated by aryl radicals formed in situ from aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates and DABCO·(SO2)2.Additionally,excellent chemoselectivity and regioselectivity are presented in this transformation.

Enhanced bio-decolorization of1-amino-4-bromoanthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid by Sphingomonas xenophaga with nutrient amendment

Bacterial decolorization of anthraquinone dye intermediates is a slow process under aerobic conditions. To speed up the process, in the present study, effects of various nutrients on 1-amino-4-bromoanthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid（ABAS） decolorization by Sphingomonas xenophaga QYY were investigated. The results showed that peptone, yeast extract and casamino acid amendments promoted ABAS bio-decolorization. In particular,the addition of peptone and casamino acids could improve the decolorization activity of strain QYY. Further experiments showed that L-proline had a more significant accelerating effect on ABAS decolorization compared with other amino acids. L-Proline not only supported cell growth, but also significantly increased the decolorization activity of strain QYY. Membrane proteins of strain QYY exhibited ABAS decolorization activities in the presence of L-proline or reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, while this behavior was not observed in the presence of other amino acids. Moreover, the positive correlation between L-proline concentration and the decolorization activity of membrane proteins was observed, indicating that L-proline plays an important role in ABAS decolorization. The above findings provide us not only a novel insight into bacterial ABAS decolorization, but also an L-proline-supplemented bioaugmentation strategy for enhancing ABAS bio-decolorization.

Regulation of Superoxide Anion Radical During the Oxygen Delignification Process

In this study, the superoxide anion radicals were generated by the auto-oxidation of 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene and determined by UV spectrophotometry, and the reaction was found to be facilitated by anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid sodium salt. The bamboo kraft pulps were treated by the 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene auto-oxidation method or the 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene auto-oxidation combined with anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid sodium salt to show the ef-fect of the superoxide anion radicals during the oxygen delignification of bamboo kraft pulp and the enhancing af-fect of anthraquinone compounds as an additive on delignification. The results indicated that the superoxide anion radicals could react with lignin and remove it from pulp with negligible damage on cellulose, and the an-thraquinone-2-sulfonic acid sodium salt could facilitate the generation of superoxide anion radical to enhance delig-nification of pulps. The oxygen delignification selectivity could be improved using the 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene auto-oxidation system combined with anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid sodium salt.
