Binding Cellulose and Chitosan via Intermolecular Inclusion Interaction: Synthesis and Characterisation of Gel by Jiufang Duan, Chunrui Han, Liujun Liu, Jianxin Jiang, Jianzhang Li, Yiqiang Li, Chao Guan

“…A novel cellulose-chitosan gel was successfully prepared in three steps: (1) ferrocene- (Fc-) cellulose with degrees of substitution (DS) of 0.5 wt% was synthesised by ferrocenecarboxylic acid and cellulose within dimethylacetamide/lithium chloride (DMAc/LiCl); (2) the β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) groups were introduced onto the chitosan chains by reacting chitosan with epichlorohydrin in dimethyl sulphoxide and a DS of 0.35 wt%; (3) thus, the cellulose-chitosan gel was obtained via an intermolecular inclusion interaction of Fc-cellulose and β-CD-chitosan in DMA/LiCl, that is, by an intermolecular inclusion interaction, between the Fc groups of cellulose and the β-CD groups on the chitosan backbone at room temperature. …”

Fine-tuning d-p hybridization in Ni-B x cocatalyst for enhanced photocatalytic H2 production by Haoyu Long, Xidong Zhang, Zhenyi Zhang, Jianjun Zhang, Jiaguo Yu, Huogen Yu

“…Herein, we propose a fine-tuning d-p hybridization strategy to precisely optimize the Hads/Hdes kinetics in a Ni-B x modified CdS photocatalyst (Ni-B x /CdS). X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy and theoretical calculations reveal that increasing B-atom amount in the Ni-B x cocatalyst gradually strengthens the d-p orbital interaction between Ni3d and B2p , resulting in a consecutive d-band broadening and controllable d-band center on Ni active sites. …”
