Microwave-Assisted One-Pot Lipid Extraction and Glycolipid Production from Oleaginous Yeast Saitozyma podzolica in Sugar Alcohol-Based Media

Glycolipids are non-ionic surfactants occurring in numerous products of daily life. Due to their surface-activity, emulsifying properties, and foaming abilities, they can be applied in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Enzymatic synthesis of glycolipids based on carbohydrates and free fatty acids or esters is often catalyzed using certain acyltransferases in reaction media of low water activity, e.g., organic solvents or notably Deep Eutectic Systems (DESs). Existing reports describing integrated processes for glycolipid production from renewables use many reaction steps, therefore this study aims at simplifying the procedure. By using microwave dielectric heating, DESs preparation was first accelerated considerably. A comparative study revealed a preparation time on average 16-fold faster than the conventional heating method in an incubator. Furthermore, lipids from robust oleaginous yeast biomass were successfully extracted up to 70% without using the pre-treatment method for cell disruption, limiting logically the energy input necessary for such process. Acidified DESs consisting of either xylitol or sorbitol and choline chloride mediated the one-pot process, allowing subsequent conversion of the lipids into mono-acylated palmitate, oleate, linoleate, and stearate sugar alcohol esters. Thus, we show strong evidence that addition of immobilized Candida antarctica Lipase B (Novozym 435^®), in acidified DES mixture, enables a simplified and fast glycolipid synthesis using directly oleaginous yeast biomass.

Ab initio calculations on the spectroscopic constants, vibrational levels and classical turning points for the 21∏u state of dimer 7Li2

The accurate dissociation energy and harmonic frequency for the highly excited 2^1Пu state of dimer ^7Li2 have been calculated using a symmetry-adapted-cluster configuration-interaction method in complete active space. The calculated results are in excellent agreement with experimental measurements. The potential energy curves at numerous basis sets for this state are obtained over a wide internuclear separation range from about 2.4a0 to 37.0a0. And the conclusion is gained that the basis set 6-311＋＋G（d,p） is a most suitable one. The calculated spectroscopic constants De, Re, ωe, ωeχe, ae and Be at 6-311＋＋G（d,p） are 0.9670 eV, 0.3125 nm, 238.6 cm^-1, 1.3705 cm^-1, 0.0039 cm^-1 and 0.4921 cm^-1, respectively. The vibrational levels are calculated by solving the radial SchrSdinger equation of nuclear motion. A total of 53 vibrational levels are found and reported for the first time. The classical turning points have been computed. Comparing with the measurements, in which only the first nine vibrational levels have been obtained so far, the present calculations are very encouraging. A careful comparison of the present results of the parameters De and We with those obtained from previous theories clearly shows that the present calculations are much closer to the measurements than previous theoretical results, thus representing an improvement on the accuracy of the ab initio calculations of the potentials for this state.     

One-pot rapid synthesis of 4H-1-benzopyran derivatives in a deep eutectic solvent

A method for introducing a biologically active heterocycle, 2-methylquinoline into the 4-position of a 2-amino-4H-1-benzopyran skeleton is described. Choline chloride/glucose (1:1 molar ratio) was used as both the solvent and catalyst in the reaction of a salicylaldehyde, methylquinoline, and cyanoacetate to obtain 2-amino-4H-1-benzopyran derivatives in 48%–80% yields after short reaction times. The effects of the deep eutectic solvent type, substrate molar ratio, cosolvent, temperature, and reaction time were examined. The method has the advantages of simple steps, environmental friendliness, mild conditions, and wide substrate applicability. This is the first attempt to synthesize methylquinoline derivatives of 4H-1-benzopyran.

Influence of Ga/(Ga + In) grading on deep‐defect states of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells

The benefits of gallium (Ga) grading on Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ (CIGS) solar cell performance are demonstrated by comparing with ungraded CIGS cells. Using drive‐level capacitance profiling (DLCP) and admittance spectroscopy (AS) analyses, we show the influence of Ga grading on the spatial variation of deep defects, free‐carrier densities in the CIGS absorber, and their impact on the cell's open‐circuit voltage V_oc. The parameter most constraining the cell's V_oc is found to be the deep‐defect density close to the space charge region (SCR). In ungraded devices, high deep‐defect concentrations (4.2 × 10¹⁶cm^–3) were observed near the SCR, offering a source for Shockley–Read–Hall recombination, reducing the cell's V_oc. In graded devices, the deep‐defect densities near the SCR decreased by one order of magnitude (2.5 × 10¹⁵ cm^–3) for back surface graded devices, and almost two orders of magnitude (8.6 × 10¹⁴ cm^–3) for double surface graded devices, enhancing the cell's V_oc. In compositionally graded devices, the free‐carrier density in the absorber's bulk decreased in tandem with the ratio of gallium to gallium plus indium ratio GGI = Ga/(Ga + In), increasing the activation energy, hindering the ionization of the defect states at room temperature and enhancing their role as recombination centers within the energy band.

Deep-Eutectic-Solvent-Based Self-Healing Polymer Electrolyte for Safe and Long-Life Lithium-Metal Batteries

The deployment of high-energy-density lithium-metal batteries has been greatly impeded by Li dendrite growth and safety concerns originating from flammable liquid electrolytes. Herein, we report a stable quasi-solid-state Li metal battery with a deep eutectic solvent (DES)-based self-healing polymer (DSP) electrolyte. This electrolyte was fabricated in a facile manner by in situ copolymerization of 2-(3-(6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-yl)ureido)ethyl methacrylate (UPyMA) and pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETEA) monomers in a DES-based electrolyte containing fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) as an additive. The well-designed DSP electrolyte simultaneously possesses non-flammability, high ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability, and dendrite-free Li plating. When applied in Li metal batteries with a LiMn₂O₄ cathode, the DSP electrolyte effectively suppressed manganese dissolution from the cathode and enabled high-capacity and a long lifespan at room and elevated temperatures.
