The development of high-entropy alloy (HEA) nanocatalysts with ultrasmall size and hollow structures is vital yet challenging for efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) across all pH conditions. Herein, we present a mild and facile hydrothermal strategy for synthesizing hollow PtRuRhCoCu HEA nanospheres (NSs) via self-assembly of sub-3 nm alloy nanoparticles directed by N , N ′-methylenebisacrylamide (MBAA). The resulting PtRuRhCoCu HEA features a multielement composition, interconnected hollow architecture, and well-dispersed ultrafine particles, providing abundant active sites and strong synergistic electronic interactions. As a result, the PtRuRhCoCu HEA catalyst achieves remarkable HER activity with low overpotentials of 10 mV (1 M KOH), 15 mV (0.5 M H 2 SO 4 ) and 30 mV (1 M phosphate-buffered saline, PBS) at 10 mA cm −2 , outperforming commercial Pt black. Moreover, this catalyst also exhibits outstanding long-term stability across a broad pH range, operating continuously for 80 h under alkaline conditions at various current densities without noticeable degradation. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm that this HEA exhibits optimized hydrogen adsorption energy and electronic structure. When integrated into a full electrolyzer, it delivers a cell voltage of 1.48 V at 10 mA cm −2 , demonstrating great potential for water splitting. This work presents an effective design strategy for next-generation HEA electrocatalysts toward green hydrogen production.

In order to deal with the increasingly serious water pollution caused by dye wastewater, a novel sulfonic acid-modified polyacrylamide magnetic composite (Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /P(AM-AMPS)) was facilely prepared by crosslink reaction. The physicochemical properties and adsorption performances of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /P(AM-AMPS) were systematically studied by different characterization techniques and a series of batch experiments, respectively. It was found that the adsorption capacities of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /P(AM-AMPS) towards cationic dyes crystal violet (CV) and methylene blue (MB) were largely enhanced than those of silica-coated Fe 3 O 4 (Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 ) and maintained at relatively high levels in a wide pH range, due to the three-dimensional network structure and abundant functional groups of modified polyacrylamide. Besides, owing to the introduction of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 , Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /P(AM-AMPS) presented a unique magnetic property that helped it to be rapidly separated from water in a magnetic field. The maximum adsorption capacities of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /P(AM-AMPS) were 2106.37 mg g −1 for CV removal and 1462.34 mg g −1 for MB removal at 298.15 K, much higher than those of other reported magnetic composites. Furthermore, Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /P(AM-AMPS) was effectively regenerated with HCl solution and the regeneration rates were higher than 97% and 80% for CV and MB removal after five adsorption-desorption cycles, respectively. With its excellent adsorption capacity, wide pH applicability, high separation speed, and satisfactory regeneration ability, Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /P(AM-AMPS) was expected to become a promising adsorbent in the purification of cationic dye wastewater.

Inherent defects in carbon material serve as an important way to enhance peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activity, however, the mechanism that activates PMS has always been ambiguous. Herein, the pyrolysis of straw with Prussian blue nanoparticles to prepare CoFe 2 O 4 /C (Carbon) was applied to analyze the mechanism of defective amorphous-C catalyzed activation of PMS. Amorphous-C structural defects increased the specific surface area of CoFe 2 O 4 /C (from 44.19 to 108.73 m 2 /g) with triggered electronic rearrangement, resulting in more PMS adsorption. CoFe 2 O 4 /C ensured the supply of low-valent metals (≡Co 2+ and ≡Fe 2+ ) simultaneously introduced a large number of surface oxygen-containing functional groups, which facilitated free radical generation. The structural defects enhanced electron transfer contributing to the direct oxidative degradation of BPA. Thus, 100 % removal of 450 µM BPA was achieved within 40 min attributed to the combined effect of catalyst-mediated ∙OH, 1 O 2, and electron transfer. Furthermore, the CoFe 2 O 4 /C/PMS system for BPA degradation exhibited universal pH suitability (4 ∼ 10) and low metal leaching (452.10 and 19.53 μg/L for Co and Fe, respectively). This study constructs systematic support for proposing the catalytic mechanism of carbon intrinsic defects activated PMS.

High dispersion of active metal is an inevitable requirement to improve the catalytic performance of supported metal catalysts and achieving this goal always requires the support with a large specific surface area. Here we innovatively prepared a ZrO 2 @Pt catalyst using ZrO 2 with a small specific surface area as the core which is coated with highly dispersed Pt nanoclusters (<2 nm). In this process, the surface of ZrO 2 was firstly functionalized to increase the number of hydroxyl group, Pt nanoclusters were formed simultaneously and uniformly coated on the ZrO 2 surface. In this work, much attention was paid to the role of 2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinyl] ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) and ethanol in the one-pot preparation process. The results showed that HEPES acted as a reductant, while treatment with ethanol promoted both the generation of hydroxyl groups on ZrO 2 surface and the reduction of Pt precursor under mild conditions. As-prepared ZrO 2 @Pt catalyst showed excellent catalytic performance in the selective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene; nitrobenzene was completely converted to aniline with 100 % selectivity at room temperature and 8 bar H 2 pressure within 30 min, and the TOF reached as high as 3304 h −1 . Moreover, ZrO 2 @Pt also exhibited a good reusability and a broad substrate applicability. The results of both DRIFTS analysis and DFT calculation demonstrated that the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene on ZrO 2 @Pt catalyst followed the condensation reaction pathway. Our findings can provide a new approach to obtaining highly dispersed metal nanoparticles on the support with a small specific surface area.

This study developes a bioactive 3D-printed denture base resin by incorporating magnesium oxide nanoparticles (nMgO) via stereolithography (SLA) technology, aiming to impart robust antifungal properties while maintaining clinical applicability. Physicochemical characterization showed that nMgO exhibited a positive surface charge (∼+15 mV), cubic crystal structure (XRD), ROS generation capability (EPR), and uniform near-spherical to polyhedral morphology with sizes of 50–100 nm (TEM). The nMgO-modified resin demonstrated dose-dependent antifungal efficacy against Candida albicans , achieving up to 91 % reduction in colony-forming units and significant inhibition of biofilm metabolic activity. Importantly, the addition of nMgO did not compromise key clinical properties including mechanical strength (flexural strength ≥ 65 MPa; modulus ≥ 2 GPa), physicochemical stability (degree of conversion, water sorption < 40 µg/mm³, solubility < 7.5 µg/mm³), and surface wettability, all meeting ISO 4049:2019 and ISO 20795–1:2013 standards. Biocompatibility testing with human gingival fibroblasts confirmed non-cytotoxicity (relative growth rate > 80 %, EN ISO 10993–5). These results demonstrate that integrating nMgO effectively imparts antifungal activity to SLA-printed denture resin without compromising structural, physicochemical, or biological performance, highlighting its potential as a safe antimicrobial additive for dental prosthetics.

Softness is a crucial criterion in assessing the comfort and usability of tissue paper. Flexible fibers contribute to the softness of the tissue paper by allowing the sheets to conform to the contours of the skin without feeling rough or abrasive. This study focuses on developing innovative CGG/APAM/PDA hydrogels with interpenetrating networks consisting of cationic guar gum, anionic polyacrylamide, and polydopamine for cellulase immobilization, aimed at improving bamboo fiber flexibility. Cellulase biomolecules are efficiently immobilized on CGG/APAM/PDA hydrogels through the Schiff base reaction. Immobilized cellulases have a wider pH applicability than free cellulases, good storage stability, and can maintain high relative activity at relatively high temperatures. The treatment of bamboo fibers with immobilized cellulase results in a significant increase in flexibility, reaching 6.90 × 10 14 N·m 2 , which is 7.18 times higher than that of untreated fibers. The immobilization of cellulases using CGG/APAM/PDA hydrogels as carriers results in a substantial enhancement of storage stability, pH applicability, and inter-fiber bonding strength, as well as the capacity to sustain high relative enzymatic activity at elevated temperatures. The immobilization of cellulase within CGG/APAM/PDA interpenetrating network hydrogels presents a viable strategy for enhancing bamboo fiber flexibility, thereby expanding the accessibility of tissue products.

Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) based advanced oxidation processes have shown great potential to remove refractory organic pollutants. Developing catalysts that can effectively activate PMS and rapidly degrade pollutant in complex water environment remains a challenge. This study focused on the development of heterogeneous catalyst with high activity comparable to its homogeneous counterpart. The cobalt nanocrystals and single cobalt atom was anchored on porous N–doped graphene fabricating Co–NC and Co SAC , respectively. The PMS activation performance by Co 2+ , Co–NC, and Co SAC was evaluated by nitenpyram (NPR) degradation. Co SAC/PMS was determined as the radical and nonradical hybrid system, exhibiting great interference capability (100 % degradation of nitenpyram within 15 min in tap water, groundwater, river water, and seawater), high stability (maintaining ∼100 % NPR removal efficiency over a 10–hour operation period), and broad pH suitability (effective from pH 3.0 to 11.0). The identification of catalytic site and the oxidation mechanism of NPR were further elucidated through theoretical calculation, revealing the synergistic oxidation of 1 O 2 , • OH, and SO 4 •− for NPR degradation. The content of Co 2+ in the used Co SAC increased while the content of Co 3+ decreased, implying that the role of HSO 5 − acted as electron donors to transfer electrons to Co site, forming 1 O 2 . Results in this study provided practical application of PMS activation based on single–atom catalyst, which outperforms its homogeneous counterpart.

In this study, a novel technique utilizing vortex-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction with magnetic deep eutectic solvents (MDESs) was established and coupled with HPLC-UV to analyze six primary aromatic amines (PAAs). A novel hydrophobic MDES prepared from trioctylphosphine oxide , octanol , and CoCl 2 was used as the extractant, which could be dispersed uniformly during extraction, then floated onto the sample surface and re-aggregated into a single drop spontaneously after the extraction. The variables influencing the efficiency of the extraction process were investigated. When performing under the optimal extraction conditions, this method exhibited excellent linearity, low limits of detection (0.2–0.9 ng mL −1 ), and high precision (RSD ≤ 8.3 %). The enrichment factors ranged from 56 to 182. Satisfactory recoveries in the range of 91.6–109.2 % with RSDs < 7.1 % were obtained from three apple juices and three environmental water samples. The greenness and practicality of the developed method were assessed by AGREE, AGREEprep, and blue applicability grade index metric tools. Overall, the established procedure demonstrated its simplicity, speediness, environmental friendliness , and effectiveness in analyzing PAAs from aqueous matrices.

In this work, a bismuth metal-organic framework is used as a modifier to prepare a modified BiOI photocatalytic material (BBI-2), which is then characterized via X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy , N 2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In photocatalytic degradation tests, much higher photocatalytic activity is found for BBI-2 than for pure BiOI. After 75 min of visible-light irradiation, the degradation ratio of 10 mg/L rhodamine B by 100 mg/L BBI-2 can reach 97.14%. In addition, BBI-2 shows good performance in terms of pH applicability and circulation. Photoelectric analysis, free-radical analysis, and energy band analysis make clear that the improvement in the visible-light photocatalytic performance of BBI-2 is mainly due to the optimization of its morphology, size, specific surface area, energy band position, and the transmission and separation properties of photogenerated carriers. The active substances that play a significant role in the photocatalytic system are also determined. A study of biological effects finds that BBI-2 shows distinct photocatalytic antibacterial activity under visible-light irradiation, low cytotoxicity to human primary fibroblasts, and good compatibility with defibrinated rabbit blood.

In this study, metal composite oxides grown on nickel foam were prepared, which were modified by dopamine and biochar to obtain cauliflower-shaped Co 2 MnO 4 /NF@PDA/BC adsorption material to adsorb cationic dyes from aqueous solutions. The maximum adsorption amounts q max for methylene blue (MB), malachite green (MG), and crystal violet (CV) were 8.44, 41.03 and 3.39 mg g − 1 , and the adsorption aligned with the Langmuir isothermal model as single molecular layer adsorption on a homogeneous surface. The adsorption experiments of dyes were conducted using lake water in the environment, and the adsorption rates of MB, MG, and CV were 91.4%, 94.8% and 85.1%, respectively. Meanwhile, the material has wide pH applicability (3–9), and good adsorption-desorption cycle performance. In addition, the synthesized adsorbent Co 2 MnO 4 /NF@PDA/BC and the control adsorbent were investigated and shown to have good adsorption capacity. In conclusion, the adsorbent materials synthesized in this work have some application prospects in dye wastewater adsorption.

The marine applicability of adsorbents intended for recovering uranium from seawater is crucial. For such applicability, the materials must exhibit anti-biofouling properties, seawater pH adaptability (pH~8), and salt tolerance. Extracting uranium from seawater is a long-term project; hence, biofouling, high salt concentrations, and weak alkaline environments negatively affect the adsorption of uranium and damage the recovered materials. Most studies on the extraction of uranium from seawater focus on increasing the adsorption capacity of the employed adsorbent, while its marine applicability is neglected. In the present study, three types of guanidine polymer (GP)-modified acrylic fibers were prepared to investigate the impact of the introduced structure on the marine applicability of the fibers. After screening, the introduction of polyhexamethylene biguanidine (PHMB) is observed to produce PAO-PHMB-A, characterized by excellent marine applicability. The enhanced properties include high antimicrobial activity (10 9 CFU/mL, 99.71%), good salt tolerance, and optimal adsorption at a pH of 8. Owing to the synergistic effect of its functional groups, the PAO-PHMB-A material exhibits excellent adsorption performance (525.89 mg/g), as well as high selectivity and durability. More importantly, long-term marine tests revealed that PAO-PHMB-A shows a remarkable uranium adsorption capacity (30 d, 3.19 mg/g) and excellent antibacterial activity. Considering its excellent marine applicability and good adsorption performance, the PAO-PHMB-A material developed in this work could serve as a potential adsorbent for engineering applications associated with uranium recovery from seawater.

The world faces increase in water scarcity and water pollution. A combined effect of adsorption and photodegradation is potential way to remove pollutants from water. In this work, mannose grafted chitosan (CSMan) films were synthesized due to Schiff base. To improve the adsorption and photodegradation capacity of films, graphite carbon nitride-zinc oxide (gCNMZnO0.3) was introduced into a system through solvent volatilization to remove tetracycline (TC). Comfortingly, the composite films of CSMan-gCNMZnO0.3-1 displayed outstanding adsorption capacity and excellent activity of degrading organic pollutant by visible light in water. The maximum adsorption capacity of CSMan-gCNMZnO0.3-1 was 164.627 mg g −1 through surface complexation, cation exchange, electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, π–π interaction and plane strengthening effect. The analysis revealed that OH and h + were the crucial radicals in photodegradation process. Meanwhile, CSMan-gCNMZnO0.3-1 possessed superior reusability and broad applicability in five distinct types of water. The simulation experiment of silicone tube showed the combined effect had a removal ratio of 84.3 % in 120 min, and the adsorption-photodegradation efficiency was constant in operating after five continuance usages.
