Mesoporous alumina with a narrow pore size distribution is synthesized by direct thermolysis of Al-based coordination polymer. By applying the appropriate thermolysis temperature, both high surface area and large pore volume are obtained with the collapses and elimination of the 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate linkers of Al-based coordination polymer. This new class of mesoporous alumina display better adsorption properties and higher thermal stability, which retain mesoporous properties and high surface area after calcination in 900 °C. This thermolysis method provides a new approach to synthesize mesoporous alumina with high thermal stability by using coordination polymers.

An effective and green method to incorporate graphene oxide into quaternized hemicelluloses to form a hemicelluloses based film was introduced in this study. Tight, homogeneous, and smooth surfaces of the film were obtained from the SEM image. Data on the mechanical properties of the films indicated that the hybrid films prepared from QH and GO (component of GO was 4.8%) exhibited a high tensile strength of 43.83 MPa. This finding suggested that addition of GO contributed to the desirable mechanical properties of the hybrid film. The hybrid films exhibited high sensitivity to humidity; they could be bent spontaneously under wet conditions within seconds and stretched under dry conditions. In addition, the results of DMA indicated that the storage modulus of the hybrid films had an order of magnitude change in value at different humidities. These characteristics show that films can be potentially used in bio-medicine, packaging materials, and humidity sensors.

Transition metal dichalcogenides for electrocatalytic water splitting are important in renewable energy research, with studies showing that the edge structure and specific surface area are crucial to their electrocatalytic activity. Herein, the design and construction of yolk–shell nanospheres based on molybdenum diselenide-encapsulated molybdenum oxide are reported. Their structures were characterized using various techniques, which showed that the void space between the interior core and outer shell increased the number of active sites. This yolk–shell structure exhibited enhanced and stable electrocatalytic activity in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The HER current density at −0.5 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode was increased by 95% (to −256 mA cm−2) compared to that of traditional flower-like molybdenum diselenide. The overpotential of this yolk–shell structure, which was required to drive a current density of −10 mA cm−2, was 65 mV lower than that of flower-like molybdenum diselenide (286 mV). Furthermore, long-term potential cycling and potentiostatic measurement of this catalyst showed favorable stability and durability of electrocatalytic activity. This yolk–shell structure plays a key role in energy conversion processes central to several renewable energy technologies.

NO is the main precursor of photochemical smog. Since the SCR system of marine diesel engines has many disadvantages, this paper proposes an effective wet method to remove NO from the exhaust gases of marine diesel engines. Experiments were performed in a bubble column reactor to study the absorption of NO using sodium persulfate (Na 2 S 2 O 8 )/urea ((NH 2 ) 2 CO) solutions from a simulated gas stream. The effects of various operating parameters on NO removal were investigated, including reaction temperature, urea concentration, Na 2 S 2 O 8 concentration and the initial pH value of Na 2 S 2 O 8 /urea solutions. The experimental results showed that the NO removal efficiency increased with increasing reaction temperature (25–80 °C) and increasing Na 2 S 2 O 8 concentration (0.01–0.2 mol/L). When the concentration of urea was higher than 0.5 mol/L at 60 °C, 1 mol/L at 70 °C or 2 mol/L at 80 °C, the NO removal efficiency increased with the increase of urea concentration (0.1–4 mol/L). The highest NO removal efficiency was 99.7%, occurring at 80 °C when the concentrations of Na 2 S 2 O 8 and urea were 0.1 mol/L and 4 mol/L, respectively, and the concentration of nitrate was 14.93 mg/L. The optimal urea conditions were well below the legal limit of 60 mg/L. The NO removal efficiency increased with the increase of initial pH value within the herein investigated range of 7–9. All the experimental data showed that the novel system not only achieved effective NO removal efficiency, but also reduced the nitrate in wastewater, which could thus be applied to denitrification of marine engine exhaust gases.

A series of composite aerogels with different precursor mass ratios were prepared from graphene oxide (GO) and chitosan (CS) by conducting the crosslinking step after lyophilization, the method of which was recently found beneficial to enhance the adsorptive properties of aerogels . The composite aerogels were then employed for the adsorption of methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) from water, and the one prepared at GO:CS= 1:2 (w/w) was selected as the optimal compromising the adsorption and mechanical properties. The maximum adsorption amounts of MO and MB were calculated to be 543.4 and 110.9 mg/g at 25 °C. Especially, the effects of pH on adsorption of MO and MB in both single and binary systems were investigated in detail. The aerogel possessed pH-responsive feature for single dye adsorption, tending to adsorb MO at low pH while to adsorb MB at high pH. In the binary system, the pH-responsive feature remained and selective adsorption was observed at low initial dye concentration. In contrast, synergistic adsorption occurred instead at high initial concentration, and MB and MO could be efficiently removed simultaneously in the whole pH range of 3–11.

NiFe 2 O 4 oxygen carrier (OC) presents higher oxygen carrying capacity than single metal oxides (NiO and Fe 2 O 3 ). However, the redox ability of NiFe 2 O 4 gets deactivated due to phase segregation. Herein, the investigation of the effect of supports (CeO 2 , CeZrO 2 , and ZrO 2 ) on the phase stability and the redox performance of NiFe 2 O 4 during the chemical looping (CL) process are presented. The structure of NiFe 2 O 4 -based OCs is characterized using different characterization methods. The CL reaction is conducted in a fixed-bed reactor at 900 °C under alternate 5% CO/N 2 and 5% O 2 /N 2 atmospheres. The results indicate that the redox performance and the phase stability of NiFe 2 O 4 -based OCs are significantly affected by the supports. According to experimental results, CeO 2 can improve the oxygen mobility of NiFe 2 O 4 . The CeO 2 –NiFe 2 O 4 OC has the best performance in terms of both recyclability and phase stability during the redox cycles. The results show that CeO 2 –NiFe 2 O 4 can reduce the tendency of Fe segregation due to the high concentration of oxygen vacancies. It can be reduced and reoxidized to the original crystalline phase of NiFe 2 O 4 . Nevertheless, the CeZrO 2 –NiFe 2 O 4 and ZrO 2 –NiFe 2 O 4 OCs have drawbacks related to serious sintering and phase segregation into Fe 2 O 3 .

In this work, optimization of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of Osmanthus fragrans (OF) fruit oils from four representative species of OF groups was firstly performed. A Box-Behnken design was applied to investigate and optimize the process variables. Among them, the specie of OF var. latifolius Makino (OFL) had the highest oil yield (18.53 %) by UAE under the optimal conditions with an ultrasound extraction time of 33 min, ultrasound temperature of 52 ℃ and liquid-to-solid ratio of 12 mL/g. Furthermore, the fatty acid composition, physicochemical characteristics, and antioxidant activity of OFL fruit oil extracts obtained through UAE and Soxhelet extraction (SE) were determined and compared. The results demonstrated that the oil yield and fatty acid composition between UAE and SE were similar, while the oil obtained by UAE displayed superior physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity . These findings suggest that UAE represents an effective method for OF fruit oil extraction.

We propose a facile and simple synthesis of photoluminescent (PL) carbon dot self-assembled monolayer films (CD-SAMFs) at oil-water interfaces. By using styrene both as the carbon source and the oil phase medium, we got our amazing CD-SAMFs under the copper acetate and hydrogen peroxide (Cu(Ac) 2 -H 2 O 2 ) catalytic-oxidation system. Without any surface modification, the spontaneously formed CD-SAMFs exhibit ultrathin thickness (<10 nm), bright luminescence, high transparency, and hydrophobicity, which have the potential as a new alternative to be used on multifunctional coating films, anticounterfeiting, displays, sensors, and optical devices.

As important ingredients in lithium-ion battery, the Coulombic efficiency and power density greatly impact the electrochemical performances. Although recent literatures have reported nano-porous materials to enhance the specific capacities, intrinsic drawbacks such as poor initial Coulombic efficiency and low volumetric capacity could not be avoided. Herein, we propose a strategy to prepare carbon supported MoO 2 spheres used for lithium-ion battery with high volumetric capacity density. A high initial Coulombic efficiency of 76.5% is obtained due to limited solid electrolyte interface film formed on the exposed surface. Meantime, the sample with an optimal carbon content and a proper structural strength reveals a higher reversible capacity of 956 mA h g −1 than the theoretical capacity of crystalline MoO 2 (838 mA h g −1 ) and a high capacity retention ratio of 96.4% after 100 cycles at 0.5 A g −1 . And an effective compaction capacity density (under 5 MPa) of 670 mA h cm −3 of the spheres proves its potential value in practical applications.

One-dimensional wide band-gap metal oxide semiconductors demonstrate enormous potential in high-performance ultraviolet photodetectors. Here, via tuned zinc oxide (ZnO) concentration ratio and heterojunction structure as well as decent V TH value, we electrospun tin zinc oxide (SnZnO X ) nanowires for photoelectronic conversion function. The constructed optimized photodetectors based on Sn 8 Zn 2 O X nanowires can exhibit a remarkable detectivity of 1.77 × 10 16 Jones, excellent responsivity of 2.23 × 10 3 A/W and relative high sensitivity over 10 4 . In addition to the excellent photodetection performance, Sn 8 Zn 2 O X nanowire devices exhibit nonvolatile memory effect , which can maintain the light-induced low resistance state at 5 V without light. Moreover, a voltage of 30 V was applied to Sn 8 Zn 2 O X nanowires devices to realize light-writing state switching to bias-erasing state, and the device could come back to their initial high resistance state. These results indicate SnZnO X nanowires devices possess a tremendous potential in the circuit design of the artificial visual system.

The present work aimed at using bisulfites (HSO 3 − ) to enhance the oxidative degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) in a Fenton process based on the Fe 3+ -H 2 O 2 reagents. It was confirmed that both the degradation and mineralization of BPA were drastically enhanced by the addition of HSO 3 − . Typically, the use of 0.1 mmol L −1 Fe 3+ , 0.3 mmol L −1 HSO 3 − and 10 mmol L −1 H 2 O 2 achieved a complete degradation of BPA (0.05 mmol L −1 ) in only 2 min. The addition of HSO 3 − increased the BPA degradation rate constant from 0.045 min −1 in the Fe 3+ -H 2 O 2 system to 2.71 min −1 in the Fe 3+ -HSO 3 − -H 2 O 2 system by 60 times. This drastic enhancement effect of HSO 3 − was attributed to its complexing and reducing abilities. The formation of FeSO 3 + complex prevented the precipitation of Fe 3+ and accelerated the cycling of Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ ; the reducing ability of HSO 3 − further favored the transformation of Fe 3+ to Fe 2+ . Several reactive species, including OH, SO 3 − and SO 4 − were responsible for the degradation of BPA, among which OH was the dominant one. The proposed Fe 3+ -HSO 3 − -H 2 O 2 system is suggested be able to act as the followed stage of a traditional Fe 2+ -H 2 O 2 system in the engineering setting.

The effects of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment, storage time, and shelf life and temperature on phenolic concentrations and antioxidant activity in apple peel and flesh of ‘Jonagold’ apple ( Malus domestica Borkh) have been investigated. Hyperoside and chlorogenic acid were the most abundant phenolic compounds in the peel and flesh, respectively. The flesh had lower concentrations of individual phenolics, total phenolics, flavonoids and lower antioxidant activity (determined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay) than the peel. In addition, the profiles of phenolics as well as the changing patterns of individual phenolics also differed between the peel and the flesh. After long-time storage (180 d), the greatest decrease of concentrations was the concentrations of hyperoside (27 %) in the peel and total phenolics (35 %) in the flesh. Also, during the 90–180 d storage period, hyperoside and rutin in the peel, chlorogenic acid in the flesh, and flavonoids and antioxidant activity decreased in both peel and flesh tissues. Individual phenolics exhibited different stabilities during the early stages after harvest. 1-MCP reduced the reduction in the concentrations of hyperoside in the peel, chlorogenic acid in the flesh, and total phenolics, flavonoids and antioxidant activity in both the peel and flesh tissues during storage and shelf life. However, for quercetin and rutin, the protective effect of 1-MCP was only observed during the shelf life period. Overall, phenolic compounds responded variously to storage, shelf life, shelf temperature and 1-MCP treatment.
