Boosting Hydrogen Peroxide Electrosynthesis via Modulating the Interfacial Hydrogen-Bond Environment

Designing highly efficient and stable electrode-electrolyte interface for hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) electrosynthesis remains challenging. Inhibiting the competitive side reaction, 4 e⁻ oxygen reduction to H₂O, is essential for highly selective H₂O₂ electrosynthesis. Instead of hindering excessive hydrogenation of H₂O₂ via catalyst modification, we discover that adding a hydrogen-bond acceptor, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), to the KOH electrolyte enables simultaneous improvement of the selectivity and activity of H₂O₂ electrosynthesis. Spectral characterization and molecular simulation confirm that the formation of hydrogen bonds between DMSO and water molecules at the electrode-electrolyte interface can reduce the activity of water dissociation into active H* species. The suitable H* supply environment hinders excessive hydrogenation of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), thus improving the selectivity of 2 e⁻ ORR and achieving over 90 % selectivity of H₂O₂. This work highlights the importance of regulating the interfacial hydrogen-bond environment by organic molecules as a means of boosting electrochemical performance in aqueous electrosynthesis and beyond.     

Efficient and mild swern oxidation using a new sulfoxide and bis(trichloromethyl)carbonate

A new type of sulfoxide, 4-(2-(2-(methylsulfinyl) ethyl)-4-nitrophenyl)- morpholine (I), was designed and prepared in good yield. Upon the combination of I and bis(trichloromethyl)carbonate, the Swern oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols was significantly promoted under mild conditions, which afforded the corresponding aldehydes or ketones in good yields. It is noteworthy that the reoxidation of the isolated by-product sulfide V could be further recycled in Swern oxidation.     

Dual effects of dimethylsulfoxide on cellulose solvating ability of 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride

Polar aprotic solvents are considered to act as cosolvents with ionic liquids (ILs) for cellulose, strengthening the solvating ability of ILs by improving their cellulose solvating kinetics without influencing the solubility of cellulose in ILs. In this work, it was found that dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) at low concentration improves the cellulose solvating ability of [AMIM][Cl], but weakens it at high concentration. To clarify the mechanism of these dual effects of DMSO on the cellulose solvating ability of [AMIM][Cl], the [AMIM][Cl]/DMSO system was investigated using excess infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) T ₂ relaxometry, ¹H NMR, ³⁵Cl NMR, and dynamic light scattering. The results indicate that the tight association between the cation and anion in the [AMIM][Cl] network is loosened at low DMSO concentration. As a result, mass transport is accelerated due to the enhanced dynamics of [AMIM][Cl], promoting the cellulose solvating kinetics of [AMIM][Cl]. However, ion clusters of [AMIM][Cl] start to form when the molar fraction of DMSO (x _DMSO) exceeds 0.5. The hydrogen bonds between cations and anions in the ion clusters become much stronger than in pure [AMIM][Cl], leading to decreased ability of [AMIM][Cl] to form hydrogen bonds with cellulose and thus decreased cellulose solubility in the [AMIM][Cl]/DMSO mixture.     

Extensional rheology of cellulose/NaOH/urea/H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O solutions

The extensional flow behaviors of cellulose/NaOH/urea/H₂O solution were investigated by using capillary breakup extensional rheometry (CaBER). The effects of temperature, storage time and cellulose concentrations on both the storage modulus G′ and the loss modulus G″ were also analyzed. For 2 wt% cellulose solution, the G′, G″ and filament lifetime remained unchanged after long storage time. While, for 4 wt% cellulose solution, physical gels could form at either higher temperature or for longer storage time, and the filament lifetime, the relaxation time (λ _e ) and the initial extensional viscosity (η _e0) first increased and then decreased with increase of the storage time. The transition points of the filament lifetime shifted to lower storage time with the increase of the temperature. The η _e0 is proportional to λ _e . The results presented suggest that the extensional properties of the cellulose/NaOH/urea/H₂O solution first increase and then decrease during the gelation process, and the spinning time, which decreases linearly with the increase in the storage temperature, must be controlled below the time that η _e0 starts to decrease.
