The goal of this study is to demonstrate that bio-based benzaldehyde, a noteworthy high-value chemical, is able to be directionally prepared from lignocellulosic biomass. This new controllable transformation was materialized by uniting catalytic-pyrolysis of lignocellulose to toluene intermediate and catalytic oxidation of toluene intermediate to bio-based benzaldehyde. This work also developed a highly active magnetic catalyst (CoFe2O4@Biochar(HTR)), achieving 77.1% benzaldehyde selectivity and 46.7% benzaldehyde yield using this catalyst. It was found that introducing the biochar carrier into the cobalt iron composite metal oxide catalyst enhanced hydroxyl radical formation and bio-based benzaldehyde synthesis. Based on catalyst characterizations and hydroxyl radical analysis, potential reaction mechanism for biobased benzaldehyde synthesis was proposed. This strategy may provide a beneficial pathway for developing high-value bio-based chemical (benzaldehyde) using renewable lignocellulosic biomass.","PeriodicalId":10036,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Chemical Physics","volume":"39 1","pages":"125-135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147909832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their insoluble and infusible cross-linked networks pose a significant recycling challenge, particularly with the impending retirement of the first generation of wind turbine blades. In this work, we reported a fully bio-based epoxy Vitrimer (FEP) incorporating a dual-dynamic covalent network design and systematically investigated the influence of the 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) catalyst on its curing kinetics, thermal/mechan- ical properties, dynamic exchange behavior, and degradation performance in a mild alkaline solution. Compared to conventional epoxy resins, FEP exhibited superior tensile strength and elongation at break at an optimal TBD concentration (2 wt%), achieving an excellent strength-toughness balance. The presence of TBD accelerated the exchange rates of both disulfide and ester bonds, endowing FEP with notable stress relaxation at elevated temperatures. Moreover, FEP demonstrated complete dissolution in 1 mol/L NaOH within 6 h at 25 °C. These results underscored the exceptional strength, toughness, and recyclability of FEP, positioning it as a promising, environmentally friendly matrix resin for next-generation applications in the new energy sector.","PeriodicalId":10036,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Chemical Physics","volume":"39 1","pages":"136-144"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"http://cjcp.ustc.edu.cn/hxwlxb/en/article/pdf/preview/10.1063/1674-0068/cjcp2512180.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147918550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the dynamic evolution of 2D/3D interfaces under external stimuli such as thermal stress and longterm illumination significantly impacts device performance. In this study, we systematically investigate the role of intermolecular interactions in governing ion migration at 2D/3D interfaces by physically stacking three 2D perovskite, (BA)2PbI4 (BA=butylammonium), (PEA)2PbI4 (PEA=phenethylammonium), and (BDA)PbI4 (BDA=1,4-butane diammonium), with 3D perovskite-MAPbI3 (MA=methylammonium), followed by thermal annealing; and subsequent characterization was carried out using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption and femtosecond-transient absorption (fs-TA) spectra. Our findings reveal that small MA+ ions migrate from the 3D perovskite into the 2D perovskites, forming quasi-2D perovskites and introducing new decay pathways, while BA+ and PEA+ ions back-incorporate into the 3D lattice, causing a slight blue shift of 2–3 nm in exciton peaks. Notably, no significant ion migration is observed at the (BDA)PbI4/MAPbI3 interface due to strong hydrogen bonds, demonstrating superior robustness against ion movement. Further analysis indicates that the stability of 2D/3D interface is governed by intermolecular interactions, following the order: hydrogen bonds > π-π stacking > van der Waals forces. These findings highlight the pivotal role of molecular interactions in modulating ion migration at 2D/3D interfaces and provide a clear design principle for constructing stable 2D/3D heterojunctions by selecting diammonium cations with robust hydrogen bonds, offering key insights for the rational design of stable perovskite interfaces.","PeriodicalId":10036,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Chemical Physics","volume":"38 5","pages":"649-658"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147914837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using variable-temperature infrared (IR) spectroscopy with carbonyl (C=O) and cyano (C≡N) groups as IR probes, combined with molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations, the temperature-dependent evolution of the Li+ solvation structure and molecular dynamics were systematically investigated over the range of −45 °C to 45 °C. The results show that the introduction of BN not only significantly enhances the low-temperature ionic conductivity and high-temperature stability of the electrolyte, but also optimizes the solvation structure and interfacial characteristics of lithium ions through strong coordination interactions.

While the steric influence of His is known to dictate donor group selection in Cu(II) coordination, the extent of these constraints on peptide complexes remains unclear. In this study, we employed a multi-spectroscopic approach (FTIR, 2D IR, UV-Vis, EPR, and NMR) to systematically investigate pH-dependent Cu(II) coordination in three tripeptides. Our results demonstrate that Cu(II) coordination geometries are cooperatively determined by both the protonation state of the N-terminus and the steric constraints imposed by the His residue.","PeriodicalId":10036,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Chemical Physics","volume":"38 5","pages":"634-640"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147332759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
