Highly water-soluble and color-tunable photoluminescent fullerene nanoparticles are synthesized by using tetraethylene glycol (TEG) and lithium hydroxide as a catalyst. The maximum PL emission changes depend on the contents of the remaining π-conjugation in oxidized C(60), which is partially covalently
The synthesis of oxygenated fuel additives via solvent freebase-catalyzed etherification of glycerol is reported. The products of glycerol etherification arediglycerol (DG) and triglycerol (TG) with DG being the favorable one. The catalytic activity of different homogeneous alkali catalysts (LiOH, NaOH
Rapid dissolution of cellulose in LiOH/urea and NaOH/urea aqueous solutions was studied systematically. The dissolution behavior and solubility of cellulose were evaluated by using (13)C NMR, optical microscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), FT-IR spectroscopy, DSC, and viscometry. The experiment results
Transparent and bendable regenerated cellulose films prepared from aqueous alkali (NaOH or LiOH)/urea (AU) solutions exhibit high oxygen barrier properties, which are superior to those of conventional cellophane, poly(vinylidene chloride), and poly(vinyl alcohol). Series of AU cellulose films are prepared

It was puzzling that cellulose could be dissolved rapidly in 4.6 wt % LiOH/15 wt % urea aqueous solution precooled to -12 degrees C, whereas it could not be dissolved in the same solvent without prior cooling. To clarify this
