Here, we report a self-sufficient heterogeneous biocatalyst (ssHB) combining an extremophilic ene-reductase from Halomonas elongata (HeNRed) with a thermostable glucose dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis (BsGDH) for in situ nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) regeneration. A consensus coimmobilization protocol was identified by microtiter plate screening, where both enzymes were reversibly coimmobilized on macroporous agarose supports activated with positively charged diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) groups. The same support also enabled NADH coimmobilization, allowing cinnamaldehyde bioreduction without exogenous cofactor supply. The resulting ssHB was thoroughly characterized and implemented in a plug-flow packed-bed reactor (PBR), enabling >90% conversion of cinnamaldehyde to hydrocinnamaldehyde under continuous flow with a 30 min residence time in the presence of 50% toluene as a cosolvent. The PBR operated continuously for 12 reactor cycles without exogenous supply of NADH before exhaustion. Translating this self-sufficient system from batch to continuous flow increased volumetric productivity 55-fold, reaching a space-time yield of 12.1 g L–1 h–1. The system also enabled full recovery of enzyme activity through streamlined reloading with fresh NADH. This work demonstrates how enzyme immobilization, cofactor recycling, and reaction intensification can be integrated into a scalable and sustainable platform for valorizing renewable feedstocks in green chemical manufacturing.","PeriodicalId":25,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149209545","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}

Herein, a hierarchical heterostructure of carbon-doped carbon nitride nanosheets tightly wrapped on SnO2 nanofibers (C-PCN/SnO2) is constructed via one-step calcination of electrospun Sn2+-containing polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) nanofibers mixed with bulk carbon nitride precursor, during which Sn-PVP converts to SnO2 nanofibers while PVP decomposition simultaneously induces in situ exfoliation of bulk carbon nitride and carbon self-doping, forming a closely contacted heterojunction. Experimental and theoretical results reveal that the built-in electric field at the heterointerface drives S-scheme charge separation, preserving highly reductive electrons and oxidative holes. Notably, C-PCN serves as an efficient oxygen adsorption and activation domain, whereas hydrophilic SnO2 facilitates water-involved oxidation, jointly optimizing the interfacial reaction microenvironment. Benefiting from this synergy, the optimized heterojunction achieves a H2O2 production rate of 31.09 μM h–1 under visible light without sacrificial agents or cocatalysts, 7.6 and 12.5 times higher than C-PCN and SnO2, respectively.

Conventional recycling technologies are often constrained by inherent drawbacks, including high energy consumption, severe secondary pollution, and inadequate structural restoration. Herein, we report a simple room-temperature NH3 plasma treatment strategy for regenerating spent graphite into high-performance anodes. Through precise control of the plasma treatment conditions, three key functions are achieved simultaneously: effective removal of residual passivating solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) species, restoration of the graphitic structural ordering and in situ nitrogen doping. The optimal regenerated anode (denoted N-Gr-20), obtained by 20 min plasma treatment, delivers a high reversible specific capacity of 412 mAh g–1 at 0.5 C. It also exhibits excellent rate capability (296 mAh g–1 at 3.0 C) and exceptional long-cycle stability, retaining a capacity of 286 mAh g–1 after 350 cycles at 2.0 C. Electrochemical kinetic analyses indicate that the restored graphitic framework promotes solid-state Li+ diffusion, while nitrogen-induced surface defects provide additional active sites for surface-controlled lithium storage.

However, its practical application remains limited by intrinsically low electronic conductivity, sluggish Na-ion transport kinetics, and insufficient long-term cycling stability. In this work, an aliovalent Ti-doping strategy is proposed to modulate the local crystal structure and electronic-state distribution of nonstoichiometric N5.12FPP materials via spray drying following by solid-state calcination method.

As the transition toward a bio-based economy intensifies, identifying sustainable production routes from renewable resources like lignocellulosic biomass is essential. To that end, different biomass-to-catechol strategies have been developed, such as (i) lignin depolymerization, followed by catalytic conversion of their alkylated/methoxylated phenol monomers, or (ii) glucose fermentation to catechol. Yet both approaches face specific challenges that hamper strong market integration. As an alternative, this present study reports an interesting, yet long-neglected alternative, catechol synthesis in subcritical water from 2-acetylfuran, a biomass-derived furan obtained from, e.g., sorbitol dehydration or acylation of furan. Since the subcritical reaction of 2-acetylfuran to catechol essentially entails a rearrangement, a higher atom economy can be persued, compared to lignin and fermentation-based routes. After initial exploration, a systematic optimization of the reaction temperature, time, and Lewis catalyst concentration (ZnCl2) through response surface modeling, a catechol yield of 52% was achieved (i.e., a 10-fold increase over what was previously achieved) at a conversion of 82% and a selectivity of 61% (applying catalyst concentration of 2.4 mol % ZnCl2, 310 °C reaction temperature and 366 min reaction time). Mass balance closures reached 92–93%, identifying acetic acid as the primary side product formed through competing α-dicarbonyl cleavage, with virtually no catechol degradation under these reaction conditions. These findings establish 2-acetylfuran as a high-potential feedstock for sustainable aromatic production, offering a robust pathway for integrating green catechol into industrial biorefinery schemes.","PeriodicalId":25,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149209588","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}

These challenges mainly arise from the high desolvation barrier of [Zn(H2O)6]2+, which slows interfacial kinetics and promotes irregular Zn deposition. Here, we propose a monodentate acetate-coordinated electrolyte (MACE) based on non-flammable trimethyl phosphate (TMP) as a co-solvent and KAc as a coordination regulator. Both theoretical and experimental analyses reveal that the acetate coordination mode critically governs Zn2+ desolvation behavior: compared with bidentate coordination, the monodentate configuration weakens the Ac–-Zn2+ interaction, lowers the desolvation energy barrier, and enables uniform, compact Zn deposition. Meanwhile, excess Ac– constructs a H-bonding network with water molecules, effectively suppressing water activity and related parasitic reactions. As a result, the MACE enables highly stable Zn anodes, delivering a Zn symmetric cell lifespan of over 4800 h at 0.5 mA cm–2 and 0.5 mAh cm–2.
