The great challenges of modern industry and the environment make it important to develop sustainable energy resources with low cost. In this work, a cleaner enzymatic procedure for biodiesel production was developed through the utilization of a biocompatible and hydrophilic ionic liquid [Choline][H2PO4]. This ionic liquid can be synthesized from cheap raw materials through simple neutralization procedures, and it has been proved to be well biocompatible. The utilization of this ionic liquid in Novozym 435 catalyzed biodiesel production makes the reaction and work-up procedures very simple, because its hydrophilicity can lead to the implementation of a pseudo homogeneous reaction and then heterogeneous separation. Various oil resources such as triolein, sunflower oil and castor oil can all be converted to biodiesels with high yields. After the completion of reaction, both the ionic liquid and Novozym 435 can be recycled and reutilized for at least five cycles without a significant activity decrease. In addition, this reaction system can be conveniently scaled up to the multi-gram level with high efficiency and feasible separation. Overall, the above mentioned benefits make this ionic liquid based enzymatic system cleaner for the production of biodiesel and promising for further industrial applications.

Hybrid co-assembly of polyoxometalates (POMs) with cationic organic matrices offers a preferable way to greatly enhance POM functionality as well as processability. Thus, multi-stimulus responsive supramolecular materials based on lanthanide-containing POMs with improved luminescence may be fabricated from appropriate components through this convenient strategy. Herein, we reported that the co-assembly of Na9(EuW10O36)·32H2O (EuW10) and a commercially available cationic surfactant, myristoylcholine chloride (Myr), in water could produce enhanced red-emitting luminescent aggregates, with their photophysical properties highly dependent on the molar ratio (R) between Myr and EuW10. The R of 36 was finally selected owing to the displayed superior luminescence intensity and good aggregate stability. The Myr/EuW10 hybrids induced by electrostatic and hydrophobic forces presented practically as multilamellar spheres with diameters varying from 80 to 300 nm. Compared to an aqueous solution of EuW10 nanoclusters, a 12-fold increase in absolute luminescence quantum yield (～23.3%) was observed for the hybrid spheres, which was ascribed to the efficient shielding of water molecules. An unusual aggregation arrangement mechanism and the excellent photophysical properties of these aggregates were thoroughly investigated. Both the enzyme substrate character of Myr and the sensitive coordination structure of EuW10 to the surrounding environment made Myr/EuW10 aggregates exhibit multi-stimulus responsiveness to enzymes, pH, and transition metal ions, thus providing potential applications in fluorescence sensing, targeted-release, and optoelectronics.
