Summary: A hydrophobic microscopic reaction environment was constructed through the modification of mesoporous silica, which helped improve the catalytic activity of the LPCE reaction. The Pt@SBA-15-tetramethyldisilazane catalyst, prepared by modifying the SBA-15 carrier and loading metal Pt, exhibited a superhydrophobic structure with a water contact angle of 158 degrees. This structure enhanced the catalytic performance and prevented catalyst deactivation. Experimental results showed that the catalyst had good catalytic activity in tritium water and maintained high activity after 30 days.

Summary: The study revealed that Au and Pt mainly exist in the form of alloy in the catalyst, with Au playing the role of reducing the size of AuPt alloy nanoparticles to enhance the adsorption and activation of intermediate products. After optimizing various factors, the Au1Pt2/MgO/SBA-15 (0.05) catalyst showed excellent catalytic activity and selectivity for the oxidation of glycerol. The synergistic effect between Pt and Au active sites was confirmed to facilitate the activation of C-H bond and oxidation of aldehyde group during the oxidation of glycerol.

Summary: The binding behavior of metallo-surfactant complexes with yeast t-RNA was investigated via various methods. Results showed significant effects of yeast tRNA on the binding behavior of the two surfactant complexes, with a significant absorption band of hypochromicity and red shift. The binding constants for the complexes below and above critical micelle concentration were determined, and the complexes were found to bind more strongly to yeast tRNA above the critical micelle concentration. Competitive displacement studies confirmed intercalative binding mode, and cyclic voltammetry studies suggested the binding process via intercalation. These findings were further supported by CD and hydrodynamic measurements, indicating that the surfactant complexes mainly bind to yeast tRNA through intercalation due to the hydrophobicity caused by the aromaticity of the ligand and planarity of the complex.

Summary: Urbanization and industrial development have led to increasing problems such as population explosion, encroachment of land, increased waste generation, and escalated concentrations of greenhouse gases and pollutants. In countries like India with large coastal populations, the impacts are particularly significant, resulting in changes in temperature, precipitation, sea levels, and disruptions to ecosystems. Immediate analysis of the factors contributing to climate change and its consequences is necessary for implementing precautionary measures. Cooperation between governments, organizations, and policymakers worldwide is essential in controlling and mitigating the impacts on health, agriculture, and related sectors.
