Summary: The development of multifunctional film materials from novel organic small molecules has attracted researchers' attention. In this study, novel carbazole organic molecules (CS-14, CS-38 and CS-39) were successfully composited with TsNiPc and TPPS subphases into multilayer films by LB technology. The nanostructure and morphology of the composite films were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The stability of the composite film was proved by UV-vis spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The LB film electrodes exhibited excellent photoelectrochemical performance, with CS-38/TsNiPc Langmuir film showing a stronger photoelectric conversion effect. The electrolysis reaction of LB films to water showed that the composite films with TsNiPc as the subphase had better catalytic performance. Therefore, the prepared LB film has the potential to become an optoelectronic functional ultrathin film device.

Summary: Enzymes are crucial for various chemical reactions in organisms, and enzymatic reactions are highly efficient and specific. Tyrosinase, as a cupric enzyme present in all areas of life, not only catalyzes the production of melanin from tyrosine, but also produces substances with fluorescence. This study demonstrated that tyrosinase can catalyze the production of peptides with different colors and degrees of fluorescence under different substrate conditions. Furthermore, the impact of oxygen on the catalyzed product was investigated, revealing that fluorescent substances are more easily obtained under low oxygen conditions. This enzymatic method for producing different fluorescent peptides holds great potential for future applications in fluorescent dyes, labeling, and imaging research.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of an electric field on the adsorption and desorption performance of graphene oxide modified with different oxygen-containing functional groups for methane storage. The results show that an external electric field can enhance the adsorption energy and capacity of hydroxylated and carboxylated graphene, while weakening the adsorption energy and capacity of epoxy-modified graphene. The electric field also affects the desorption process, decreasing methane release from hydroxylated and carboxylated graphene, but increasing methane release from epoxy-modified graphene.

Summary: Molecular dynamics simulation was used to analyze the effects of wax content and molecular chain length on the wax deposition behavior in crude oil systems. The results showed that wax deposition on the iron surface occurred through a three-layer adsorption process driven by van der Waals forces. Different wax contents and molecular chain lengths resulted in similar wax deposition processes and thicknesses of the deposited layers on the iron surface. The study provides theoretical support for a better understanding of the wax deposition process.

Summary: The corrosion inhibitory potency of two new pyrimidine-pyrazole derivatives, PPA and PPC, was evaluated for mild steel in 1 M HCl. The results showed enhanced inhibition activities with increased concentration, reaching maximal values of 91.15% and 92.39% for PPA and PPC, respectively. However, the mitigation potency decreased with increasing temperature. SEM and XPS analysis revealed that PPA and PPC adsorbed on the mild steel surface, forming a shielding layer that prevented the dissolution of the steel in the acidic solution.
