Ultrahigh Loading Copper Single Atom Catalyst for Palladium-free Wacker Oxidation

Wacker oxidation is an industry-adopted process to transform olefins into value-added epoxides and carbonyls. However, traditional Wacker oxidation involves the use of homogeneous palladium and copper catalysts for the olefin addition and reductive elimination. Here, we demonstrated an ultrahigh loading Cu single atom catalyst(14% Cu, mass fraction) for the palladium-free Wacker oxidation of 4-vinylanisole into the corresponding ketone with N-methylhydroxylamine hydrochloride as an additive under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies by ¹⁸O and deuterium isotope labelling revealed a hydrogen shift mechanism in this palladium-free process using N-methylhydroxylamine hydrochloride as the oxygen source. The reaction scope can be further extended to Kucherov oxidation. Our study paves the way to replace noble metal catalysts in the traditional homogeneous processes with single atom catalysts.     

疏水缔合悬浮稳定剂的合成及其对固井水泥浆稠度和悬浮稳定性的影响

针对大温差条件下固井水泥浆在固井过程中可能存在的悬浮失稳问题，本研究采用水溶液自由基聚合法来合成具有疏水缔合结构的聚合物作为悬浮稳定剂(PAAN)。通过红外光谱仪、凝胶渗透色谱仪、热重分析仪、高温流变仪、SEM、紫外分光光度计等表征PAAN的结构，发现PAAN随温度升高，形成分子间疏水缔合网状结构，保证了体系的粘度，从而起到有效的悬浮稳定作用。研究发现在40~110 ℃下，0.6%加量的PAAN可以保证固化后的水泥石柱顶部和底部密度差<0.01 g/cm³，且水泥浆稠化时间基本不变，表明PAAN可以保证水泥浆体系具有良好的悬浮稳定效果，且对水泥浆的其他性能无不良影响。     

利用沙漠沙低温合成高长径比莫来石晶须

利用沙漠沙独特的化学组成特性和矿物特性,将沙漠沙荒料作为硅源,工业Al(OH)3作为铝源制备莫来石晶须.改变硅源/铝源配比和合成温度,结合XRD、SEM、TEM研究莫来石生长环境和自由生长形态的变化.研究结果表明:当沙漠沙与Al(OH)3的质量比为35/65时,在1200℃的低温下就能获得平均值>60的高长径比莫来石晶须;随着煅烧温度的升高,莫来石晶须长径比不断增大,当温度升至1300℃,平均长径比>94.随着合成温度的升高,莫来石的形成经过了一次莫来石和二次莫来石化两个阶段;若配方中Al2 O3处于过饱和状态,样品中刚玉相会随着煅烧温度的升高出现先增多后降低的变化现象.

A post curing strategy toward the feasible covalent adaptable networks in polyacrylate latex films

The implementation of covalent adaptable networks (CANs) in general resin system is becoming attractive. In this work, we propose a simple post-curing strategy based on the core-shell structured acrylate latex for the achievement on both the improved general performance and the CANs characteristics in latex films. The building to the CANs was relied on the introduction of 4,4′-diaminophenyl disulfide as the curing agent, which cured the acetoacetoxy decorated shell polymer through the ketoamine reaction. The metathesis reaction of aromatic disulfides in the crosslinking segments enabled the thermally induced dynamic behavior of the network as revealed in the stress relaxation tests by comparison with other diamine crosslinking agents without the incorporation of disulfide. The synergism of the dynamic crosslinking of the shell polymer and static crosslinking in the core polymer contributed to the improved mechanical strength (15 MPa, strain% = 250%) and the suppressed water adsorption (~1% in 24 h of soaking) of the latex film, which exhibited above 90% of recovery in both strength and strain from a cut-off film damage within 1 h at 80°C. Moreover, the cured latex film could be recycled, and 75% of the mechanical performance was regained after three fragmentation-hot-pressing cycles. These, in addition with the feasible and environmental friendly characteristics, suggest a sustainable paradigm toward the smart thermosetting latex polymers.     

Strategies for synthesizing non-bioaccumulable alternatives to PFOA and PFOS

This minireview describes the strategies for synthesis of fiuorinated surfactants potentially nonbioaccumulable.Various strategies have been focused on(Ⅰ) reducing the length of the perfluorocarbon chain,(Ⅱ) introducing hetero atoms into the fluorocarbon chain,(Ⅲ) introducing branch(herein and after branch means the fluoro-carbon chain section is not straight).In most cases,the surface tensions versus the surfactant concentrations have been assessed.These above strategies led to various highly fiuorinated(perfluorinated or not perfluorinated) surfactants whose chemical changes enabled to obtain novel alternatives to perfluorooctanoic acid(PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulphonate(PFOS).
