Here, sixteen binary terpene-based HDESs composed of menthol, thymol, limonene, linalool, carvone, camphor, and borneol were systematically evaluated using a stability-guided selection approach. Density, viscosity, temperature-dependent flow behavior, volatility-related mass loss, water uptake, and compositional stability after water contact, heating, ultrasound treatment, and UV irradiation were investigated. All systems had densities below 1.0 g cm–3, while viscosity at 25 °C ranged from 1.351 mPa·s for LIM-CARV to 35.506 mPa·s for MENT-THYM. Volatility-related mass loss at 100 °C varied from 3.5 to 39.0%. After contact with a 100-fold excess of water, the water content of the recovered HDES phase ranged from 961 to 30,781 ppm, demonstrating pronounced composition-dependent hydration. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) profiling showed that most systems preserved more than 95% of their original components after the applied treatments. THYM-CARV showed the most favorable overall stability profile, with only 3.5% mass loss and ≥99.9% preservation of the original components after thermal, ultrasonic, UV, and water-contact treatments. These results demonstrate that terpene-based HDESs should be selected using integrated structure–property–stability criteria rather than hydrophobicity or component origin alone.","PeriodicalId":25,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2026-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149374685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although several anti-scaling cathodes have been reported, it is difficult for them to achieve large-scale application due to their small size, high cost, or short lifetime. Herein, a scalable anti-scaling cathode and an integrated device are proposed to demonstrate the practical potential of direct seawater electrolysis. In-situ observations reveal that its stable anti-scaling performance during at least 1000 h is attributed to the surface microstructure, where a thick hydrophobic layer more than 40 μm covers most of Sn microcones in the bottom layer, while only NiFeCo nanocones standing on the tips of Sn microcones are exposed. The essential feature of this hydrophobic hierarchical cone structure is highly dispersed electroactive areas in a stable hydrophobic surface. An integrated device on the basis of this anti-scaling cathode is assembled, and Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles with a purity up to 98.3% are successfully extracted from seawater with an energy consumption of 3.26 kW h kg–1 Mg(OH)2. The stable cell voltage during 1000 h of seawater electrolysis further supports its anti-scaling capability. The novel cathode and integrated device are expected to have application potential in fields such as hydrogen evolution from seawater, softening of reverse osmosis concentrate, and separation of magnesium/lithium from salt lake brine.","PeriodicalId":25,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2026-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149374686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study uses terephthalic acid (TPA) as a catalyst to hydrolyze waste PET into its monomer, TPA. During hydrolysis, TPA facilitates the selective cleavage of PET’s ester bonds, allowing for efficient breakdown and recycling of PET flakes. Optimized reaction conditions for the TPA-assisted hydrolysis achieve up to 99.9% PET conversion, a maximum TPA yield of 95.3%, and over 98% purity, matching commercial TPA standards. This work primarily focuses on conversion and the role of workup in improving product recovery and purity. The end quality of the TPA obtained was further confirmed by HPLC, and 1H NMR and 13C NMR for purity assessment found high-purity TPA.

However, most existing indicators rely on synthetic dyes, which raise safety concerns and environmental issues. In this work, cholesteric cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) served as chiral building blocks to construct the liquid–crystalline skeleton, and chitosan (Cs), xylose (Xyl), and guaiacol-glyceryl ether (GGE) were introduced to construct a multi-component composite iridescent film via evaporation-induced self-assembly. Chitosan and xylose modulate the internal hydrogen-bonding network, while GGE acts as a co-assembly regulator to endow the film with stimulus-responsive optical evolution. The microstructure, mechanical properties, thermal stability, and pH-responsive behavior were systematically investigated. The optimal formulation achieved a tensile strength of up to ∼5.7 MPa and a toughness of ∼44 MJ/m3, which were 4.5 MPa and 42 MJ/m3 higher than those of pure CNC films. Meanwhile, its peak thermal decomposition temperature increased by around 40 °C relative to pure CNC films. The CXCG-4 film exhibited distinct, reversible pH-responsive iridescent color changes from orange to deep red (ΔE ≈ 23.3), enabling real-time visual monitoring of grape freshness. In an 8-day grape storage test at 25 °C, the CXCG-4 group retained the highest soluble solids content (12.8%) and ascorbic acid content (3.0 mg/100 g), with the lowest weight loss (24.6%), confirming its superior comprehensive performance. Unlike traditional CNC-based films, this work achieved responsive color variation relying on multi-component co-assembly rather than extrinsic dyes. The present dye-free, green, and degradable structural color film may provide a promising strategy for intelligent food packaging applications.","PeriodicalId":25,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2026-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149374683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this process remains challenging due to the need for bifunctional catalysts with balanced Lewis and Brønsted acid sites. In this work, a series of carbon nitride (CN)-modified Zr/SBA-15 catalysts (ZrxCNy/SBA-15) were synthesized by a simple impregnation method and evaluated for the reductive etherification of FUR using isopropanol as both the solvent and the hydrogen donor. The introduction of CN significantly enhanced the catalytic performance by increasing the dispersion of Zr species, enriching Lewis acid sites (LAS), and introducing Lewis base sites (LBS) from nitrogen functionalities. The optimized Zr4.4CN3.6/SBA-15 catalyst achieved a remarkable IPFE yield of 91.6% under mild conditions, substantially outperforming the CN-free counterpart (14.9% IPFE yield). By optimizing the reaction conditions, a 94.2% FUR conversion and a 92.7% selectivity to IPFE were achieved at 150 °C within only 20 min, corresponding to a productivity of 52.5 mmol·g–1·h–1, which was significantly superior to the results reported in the literature. XPS and Py-FTIR characterization revealed that the synergistic acid–base bifunctional mechanism, together with enhanced Lewis acidity via electronic interaction between CN and Zr, is responsible for the high activity and selectivity. Poisoning experiments confirmed that LBS, LAS, and BAS are all essential for the cascade conversion of FUR to IPFE, and a plausible reaction mechanism was accordingly proposed. The catalyst also exhibited excellent reusability and structural stability over five consecutive cycles.","PeriodicalId":25,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2026-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149374690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their separation performance was evaluated by ternary vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) experiments, and the data were correlated using the non-random two-liquid (NRTL) model. Quantum chemical calculations revealed that strong hydrogen-bonding interactions between the DESs and azeotropic components are essential for efficient separation. Extractive distillation processes using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and the best-performing DES as entrainers were designed and optimized via multi-objective optimization coupled with multi-criteria decision-making. Life cycle assessment was performed using Eco-indicator 99 (EI-99). Compared with the DMSO-based process, the DES-based process achieved lower total annual cost (TAC), CO2 emissions (ECO2), and EI-99 score, but exhibited a relatively lower thermodynamic efficiency. Compared with the non-electrified DES-based process, the flash vapor compression heat pump (FVCHP)-electrified DES-based process reduced TAC, ECO2, and EI-99 by 5.81%, 43.64%, and 50.71%, respectively.

Water promotes protein-chain mobility, wetting, and penetration into porous wood, whereas premature water loss during open assembly restricts molecular rearrangement, causes rapid thickening, and weakens interfacial development. Inspired by water regulation during seed germination, we constructed a temperature-sensitive poly(amidoamine)–glutaraldehyde network in a soybean-meal adhesive to regulate water loss and flow during processing. Before hot pressing, hydrogen bonding and network confinement reduced premature water loss; upon heating, weakened hydrogen-bonding interactions and network rearrangement reduced the confinement of associated water, thereby preserving adhesive flow and promoting interfacial penetration. After 2 h of open assembly, the modified adhesive retained 46% more water than the unmodified soybean-meal adhesive and 14% more than a PAE-modified soybean-meal adhesive. Subsequent hot pressing produced plywood with a wet shear strength of 0.71 MPa, 1320% and 78% higher than the respective controls. Under standard processing conditions, wet shear strength reached 1.39 MPa, representing increases of 184% and 34%.

Phosphate-centered PT clusters were grown in situ on two-dimensional BCN, followed by solvent-assisted ultrasonication to improve interfacial contact and cluster dispersion. The terminal {PO4} groups of the PT clusters were further used to selectively anchor atomically dispersed Cu species. Under UV–vis irradiation in pure water, the optimized Cu–PT/BCN exhibited markedly enhanced CO2 photoreduction activity, with CO2 conversion rates 7 and 30 times higher than those of BCN and pristine CN, respectively, while maintaining nearly 100% selectivity toward CO. Mechanistic studies revealed that charge transfer between BCN and PT follows a Z-scheme pathway, resulting in substantially improved separation of photogenerated charge carriers. The electrons retained on PT are subsequently transferred to Cu sites, which promote CO2 adsorption and activation and facilitate its selective reduction to CO. In situ microsecond transient absorption spectroscopy revealed an electron transfer efficiency of 80.5% under reaction conditions, while CO2 adsorption measurements and in situ Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy further confirmed enhanced CO2 adsorption and stabilization of the key COOH* intermediate.

To overcome this limitation, a hematite-CaO2 coupling system was constructed to explore potential Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycling and its role in promoting lignocellulose conversion into methane. The results demonstrated that Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycling was established in the hematite-CaO2 system through microbial Fe(III) reduction and CaO2-induced Fe(II) oxidation, which promoted •OH generation and consequently facilitated lignocellulose degradation. FTIR analysis confirmed the cleavage of lignin–carbohydrate linkages. Consequently, cumulative methane production increased by 17.4% in the Fe-CaO2 group compared with the control group. In addition, the hematite–CaO2 coupling system reduced the demand for exogenous Fe(III) sources and promoted the transformation of iron oxides toward more crystalline minerals. Consistently, microbial electron transfer capacity increased by 15.8%. Furthermore, microbial community analysis revealed that lignocellulose-degrading microorganisms were enriched in the control group, likely due to the limited degradation efficiency at the end of the experiment. Moreover, metagenomic analysis revealed that the relative abundance of genes involved in the sequential conversion from lignocellulose degradation to methane production increased. Overall, this study provides new insights into Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycling-mediated lignocellulose degradation and highlights a promising strategy for enhancing renewable energy recovery from agricultural waste.","PeriodicalId":25,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2026-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149374694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
