To improve electrode properties of MgMn2O4 (MMO), which has attracted attention as a positive electrode material for magnesium rechargeable batteries, we performed modification of MMO with a Mo compound and investigated particularly effects of heat-treatment temperature (600-800 °C) in the modification process on the electrode properties and crystal structures. The Mo-modified MMO were successfully synthesized by immersing MMO in an aqueous solution containing Mo ion, followed by the heat treatment. Discharge/charge cycle tests revealed that Mo-modified MMO heat-treated at 700 °C exhibited the highest discharge capacity and cycle characteristics. Crystal-structure analyses using synchrotron X-ray diffraction data showed that the heat treatment at higher temperature could relax the distortion of the crystal structure although it increased an amount of Mg and Mn cation mixing. The crystal-structure change and surface modification with a Mo compound are considered to be the factors for improved positive-electrode properties of MMO.
镁锰氧化物(MMO)作为镁充电电池的正极材料备受关注,为了改善其电极性能,我们用钼化合物对 MMO 进行了改性,并研究了改性过程中热处理温度(600-800 ℃)对电极性能和晶体结构的影响。将 MMO 浸入含 Mo 离子的水溶液中,然后进行热处理,成功合成了 Mo 改性 MMO。放电/充电循环测试表明,在 700 °C 下热处理的钼改性 MMO 具有最高的放电容量和循环特性。利用同步辐射 X 射线衍射数据进行的晶体结构分析表明,高温热处理虽然增加了镁和锰阳离子的混合量,但却能减缓晶体结构的畸变。晶体结构的变化和钼化合物的表面改性被认为是改善 MMO 正电极性能的因素。

Lacunary polyoxometalates represent a distinctive category of inorganic multidentate ligands that serve as precursors for building organic-inorganic hybrid materials and multinuclear metal oxo clusters. In this study, we successfully synthesized and characterized the organic-inorganic hybrid, [P2W12O44(C6H5PO3)2]10–. Two phenylphosphonato ligands were introduced at both ends of the vacant site to form the unique organic-inorganic-organic structure.

In this research, we prepared novel hydrogels from enzymatically synthesized α-1,3-glucan and its carboxymethyl derivative by crosslinking with ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether. The resulting hydrogels were highly swellable and pH-sensitive with an enhanced highly developed structure and showed excellent protein/dye adsorption performances. Furthermore, the hydrogels had good biodegradability and could be degraded in soil extract solution. Herein, the prepared hydrogels have potential applications as a green and environmentally friendly adsorbent for the effective removal of organic dyes in printing and dyeing wastewater.

Shape-forming technology is essential for the widespread utilization of metal-organic frameworks. We developed a one-pot synthesis method for HKUST-1 monolith. HKUST-1 monolith was successfully prepared by the hydrothermal treatment of a Cu monolith in an aqueous solution of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, ethanol, and nitric acid without the addition of a metal source. The prepared HKUST-1 monolith showed CO2 adsorption properties comparable to those of commercially available HKUST-1 powdery crystals.

In peptide drug discovery, the C-terminal structure of peptide compounds is crucial for enhancing the affinity with target proteins and for optimizing the compound's dynamics and physical properties. In conventional solid-phase synthesis, two steps are necessary to modify the C-terminal structure: cleavage from the resin and subsequent amidation involving activation of the resulting carboxylic acid. This process can potentially lead to racemization of the C-terminal amino acid side chain. To address this issue, we developed a novel method that, in the presence of a Ta catalyst, directly allows amines to react with amino acid-loaded resins, thereby accomplishing both resin cleavage and amidation in a single step.

The reaction mechanisms of C3H8 dehydrogenation and subsequent metathesis on a TiH2 surface were investigated using an automated reaction path search method. The predicted pathway suggests that dehydrogenation could occur at the H vacancies present on the TiH2 surface. The propylidene species formed by the initial dehydrogenation reaction are crucial intermediates in butane formation; this compound is in turn required by the subsequent metathesis reaction on the surface of the metal hydrides.

We propose a coarse-grained analysis to understand coordination self-assembly. The developed model reduced the system into the assembling components that interact mainly electrostatically. The modeled energies sufficiently reproduced the energy changes to produce a caged di-nuclear palladium complex obtained by the density functional theory. The model made it possible to clarify the physicochemical background of the assembly process.
