Cellulose hydrolysis catalyzed by highly acidic lignin-derived carbonaceous catalyst synthesized via hydrothermal carbonization

Acidic carbonaceous solids were synthesized from mass pine alkali lignin via hydrothermal carbonization followed by sulfonation. Hydrothermal carbonization of lignin in the presence of acrylic acid (LAHC-SO₃H) provided many more carboxylic groups than that in the absence of acrylic acid, allowing subsequent sulfonation to produce a highly active and stable catalyst for cellulose hydrolysis in the [BMIM]Cl-H₂O solvent system. The hydrochar and catalyst were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller and acid–base titration. Results showed that a high acid content of 5.48 mmol/g, including carboxylic group (2.85 mmol/g), phenolic hydroxyl group (1.05 mmol/g) and sulfonic acid group (1.58 mmol/g), contributed significantly to the highly efficient hydrolysis of cellulose. Further, it was found that addition of trace water in [BMIM]Cl was favorable to cellulose hydrolysis. The highest yield (75.4%) of total reducing sugar (TRS) obtained in [BMIM]Cl-H₂O at a mass ratio of 100:1 was more than twice that (36.1%) achieved in [BMIM]Cl without water; the corresponding reaction conditions were 50 mg of microcrystalline cellulose, 30 mg of catalyst, 1.0 g of [BMIM]Cl, 10 mg of H₂O, reaction temperature of 130 °C and reaction time of 2 h. Furthermore, the TRS yield with 5 cycles for LAHC-SO₃H was higher than 68.1%, and the catalytic activity of catalyst could be fully recovered (74.0% of TRS yield) easily by regeneration.     

Employment of [Amim] Cl in the effort to upgrade the properties of cellulose acetate based polymer electrolytes

Transparent thin film polymer electrolytes were prepared by solvent casting technique with the doping of environmental-friendly ionic liquid, 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Amim] Cl) into the matrix formed by cellulose acetate (CA) and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI). The ionic conducting nature of this system improves significantly from the order of 10^?7–10^?2 S cm^?1 upon increasing doping of [Amim] Cl content till a maximum of 4.68 × 10^?2 S cm^?1 is attained for the composition CA:LiTFSI:[Amim] Cl (14:6:80 wt%). The improving trend in ionic conductivity results from the bond weakening between the connecting atoms in the crystalline region that induces to the increase in amorphous counterpart fractions in the CA matrix. This observation was proved via the accountancies in the reduction of relative viscosity, root mean square value and increase in void as increase in [Amim] Cl doping. The resultant phase conversion hence permits immense lithium ion (Li⁺) fluidity along the polymer backbone and assisting the improvement in ionic conductivity. The thin film polymer electrolyte is found to be elastic in the presence of crystalline fraction and radically deforms upon the chains diffusion into the amorphous fraction. The linear curvatures of the Arrhenius plot justify the conductivity improvement as via the increasing frequency of Li⁺ ions hopping as the temperature increases. The increasing addition of [Amim] Cl diminishes both the heat-resistivity and thermal stability of CA:LiTFSI:[Amim] Cl matrix.     

Effects of Cationic Structure on Cellulose Dissolution in Ionic Liquids: A Molecular Dynamics Study

In recent years, great progress has been made in the dissolution of cellulose with ionic liquids (ILs). However, the mechanism of cellulose dissolution, especially the role the IL cation played in the dissolution process, has not been clearly understood. Herein, the mixtures of cellulose with a series of imidazolium‐based chloride ionic liquids and 1‐butyl‐3‐methyl pyridinium chloride ([C₄mpy]Cl) were simulated to study the effect that varying the heterocyclic structure and alkyl chain length of the IL cation has on the dissolution of cellulose. It was shown that the dissolution of cellulose in [C₄mpy]Cl is better than that in [C₄mim]Cl. For imidazolium‐based ILs, the shorter the alkyl chain is, the higher the solubility will be. In addition, an all‐atom force field for 1‐allyl‐3‐methyl imidazolium cation ([Amim]⁺) was developed, for the first time, to investigate the effect the electron‐withdrawing group within the alkyl chain of the IL cation has on the dissolution of cellulose. It was found that the interaction energy between [Amim]⁺ and cellulose was greater than that between [C₃mim]⁺ and cellulose, indicating that the presence of electron‐withdrawing group in alkyl chain of the cation enhanced the interaction between the cation and cellulose due to the increase of electronegativity of the cations. These findings are used to assess the cationic effect on the dissolution of cellulose in ILs. They are also expected to be important for rational design of novel ILs for efficient dissolution of cellulose.     

Catalytic Conversion of Glucose into Levulinic Acid Using 2-Phenyl-2-Imidazoline Based Ionic Liquid Catalyst

Levulinic acid (LA) is an industrially important product that can be catalytically valorized into important value-added chemicals. In this study, hydrothermal conversion of glucose into levulinic acid was attempted using Brønsted acidic ionic liquid catalyst synthesized using 2-phenyl-2-imidazoline, and 2-phenyl-2-imidazoline-based ionic liquid catalyst used in this study was synthesized in the laboratory using different anions (NO₃, H₂PO₄, and Cl) and characterized using ¹H NMR, TGA, and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. The activity trend of the Brønsted acidic ionic liquid catalysts synthesized in the laboratory was found in the following order: [C₄SO₃HPhim][Cl] > [C₄SO₃HPhim][NO₃] > [C₄SO₃HPhim][H₂PO₄]. A maximum 63% yield of the levulinic acid was obtained with 98% glucose conversion at 180 °C and 3 h reaction time using [C₄SO₃HPhim][Cl] ionic liquid catalyst. The effect of different reaction conditions such as reaction time, temperature, ionic liquid catalyst structures, catalyst amount, and solvents on the LA yield were investigated. Reusability of [C₄SO₃HPhim][Cl] catalyst up to four cycles was observed. This study demonstrates the potential of the 2-phenyl-2-imidazoline-based ionic liquid for the conversion of glucose into the important platform chemical levulinic acid.     

A Facile Route for the Synthesis of Polycationic Tellurium Cluster Compounds: Synthesis in Ionic Liquid Media and Characterization by Single‐Crystal X‐ray Crystallography and Magnetic Susceptibility

An innovative soft chemical approach was applied, using ionic liquids as an alternative reaction medium for the synthesis of tellurium polycationic cluster compounds at room temperature. [Mo₂Te₁₂]I₆, Te₆[WOCl₄]₂, and Te₄[AlCl₄]₂ were isolated from the ionic liquid [BMIM]Cl/AlCl₃ ([BMIM]⁺: 1‐n‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium) and characterized. Black, cube‐shaped crystals of [Mo₂Te₁₂]I₆, which is not accessible by conventional chemical transport reaction, were obtained by reaction of the elements at room temperature in [BMIM]Cl/AlCl₃. The monoclinic structure (P2₁/n, a = 1138.92(2) pm, b = 1628.13(2) pm, c = 1611.05(2) pm, β = 105.88(1) °) is homeotypic to the triclinic bromide [Mo₂Te₁₂]Br₆. In the binulear complex [Mo₂Te₁₂]⁶⁺, the molybdenum(III) atoms are η⁴‐coordinated by terminal Te₄²⁺ rings and two bridging η²‐Te₂^2– dumbbells. Despite the short Mo···Mo distance of 297.16(5) pm, coupling of the magnetic moments is not observed. The paramagnetic moment of 3.53 μ_B per molybdenum(III) atom corresponds to an electron count of seventeen. Black crystals of monoclinic Te₆[WOCl₄]₂ are obtained by the oxidation of tellurium with WOCl₄ in [BMIM]Cl/AlCl₃. Tellurium and tellurium(IV) synproportionate in the ionic liquid at room temperature yielding violet crystals of orthorhombic Te₄[AlCl₄]₂.

Beyond a solvent: the roles of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride in the acid-catalysis for cellulose depolymerisation

In this report, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C₄C₁im]Cl) is demonstrated to enhance the kinetics of acid-catalysed hydrolysis of 1,4-β-glucans in binary solvent mixtures. [C₄C₁im]Cl plays other roles in the reaction beyond acting as a solvent for cellulose, as currently accepted. In fact, the presence of the IL increases the Hammett acidity of the catalyst dissolved in the reaction medium. The kinetic data from cellobiose and cellulose hydrolysis directly correlate with the acid strength found for p-toluenesulfonic acid in the different reaction media studied here. The current report identifies neglected, but yet very important phenomena occurring in cellulose depolymerisation.     

Tuning Binding Strength of Multiple Intermediates towards Efficient pH-universal Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution by Mo8O26-NbNxOy Heterocatalysts

Developing efficient and robust hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts for scalable and sustainable hydrogen production through electrochemical water splitting is strategic and challenging. Herein, heterogeneous Mo₈O₂₆-NbN_xO_y supported on N-doped graphene (defined as Mo₈O₂₆-NbN_xO_y/NG) is synthesized by controllable hydrothermal reaction and nitridation process. The O-exposed Mo₈O₂₆ clusters covalently confined on NbN_xO_y nanodomains provide a distinctive interface configuration and appropriate electronic structure, where fully exposed multiple active sites give excellent HER performance beyond commercial Pt/C catalyst in pH-universal electrolytes. Theoretical studies reveal that the Mo₈O₂₆-NbN_xO_y interface with electronic reconstruction affords near-optimal hydrogen adsorption energy and enhanced initial H₂O adsorption. Furthermore, the terminal O atoms in Mo₈O₂₆ clusters cooperate with Nb atoms to promote the initial H₂O adsorption, and subsequently reduce the H₂O dissociation energy, accelerating the entire HER kinetics.
