Designing an efficient Pd-based catalyst with high atom utilization efficiency is a pressing priority, presenting a significant challenge for the practical deployment of electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination (EHDC), a promising method for degrading hazardous chlorophenols (CPs). Herein, a hybrid Pd/Co(OH) 2 /NF electrode for the dechlorination of 2,4- dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) is fabricated by a newly developed etching-deposition approach. Physical characterizations demonstrate that ultra-fine Pd nanoparticles (1.57 ± 0.29 nm) accompany with Pd 2+ hydroxides are uniformly deposited on the surface of Co(OH) 2 nanowire arrays. EHDC tests on Pd/Co(OH) 2 /NF show an impressive catalytic performance with a 94.5% removal efficiency within 2 h, fast reaction kinetics (0.024 min − 1 ) and remarkable current efficiency (55.4%), highly competitive with literature reports. Mechanism investigations indicate that the even distribution of Pd nanoparticles and coexistence of Pd 2+ sites facilitate the production of active H * and activation of C-Cl, contributing to the improvement of activity.

The design of environmentally friendly flame retardants to achieve the balanced flame retardancy and mechanical properties of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA) is a critical challenge. Herein, inspired by the micropapillae adorned with hydrophobic wax crystals structure of lotus leaf, Mg(OH) 2 /Co-MOF/DOPO hybrids (MH@MOF- g -DOPO) were successfully constructed through in-situ growth of Co-MOF and chemical grafting of DOPO. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that the Co-MOF content in MH@MOF was approximately 27.3 wt%, while the grafted DOPO in MH@MOF- g -DOPO was about 19.5 wt%. Owing to the unique microstructure, the water contact angle of MH@MOF- g -DOPO reached to 113.7°, implying its hydrophobic surface. Subsequently, the as-synthesized MH@MOF- g -DOPO was used to prepare PLA composites, which exhibited significantly improved flame retardancy, as indicated by the LOI value of 30.2 %, UL-94 V0 rating, and the reduction on PHRR by 70.1 %. The flame retardant mechanism was attributed to the synergistic effects of multiple flame retardant units (MH, Co-MOF and P) in MH@MOF- g -DOPO hybrids. Furthermore, the flame retarded PLA/20MH@MOF- g -DOPO achieved the brittle-tough transformation via uniaxial pre-stretch process, thus displayed outstanding mechanical properties (good stiffness and excellent toughness). Notably, compared to the pristine undraw PLA, the Youngꞌs modulus, tensile strength and the elongation at break PLA/20MH@MOF- g -DOPO increased by 35 %, 38 % and 1957 %, respectively. This work proposes an innovative and efficient method to achieve the excellent balance on flame retardancy and mechanical properties of PLA composites, benefiting to promoting their real-world applications as functional polymer materials.

Designing catalysts at atomic level fine-tune the electronic structure of surface-active site for efficient water splitting, is a highly desirable approach but also poses significant challenges. This study focuses on the synthesis of a series of electronically tunable metal single-atom (M−SAs) catalysts: M 9 @S-Ni(OH) 2 (M=Pt, Mn, Fe or Cu). Experimental results reveal that introduction of trace S-heteroatoms and metal atoms into Ni(OH) 2 lattice can effectively modulate the electronic structure of M 9 @S-Ni(OH) 2 through modulation of p-d and d-d orbital hybridization, resulting in exceptional performance in water electrolysis. Among M 9 @S-Ni(OH) 2 , Pt 9 @S-Ni(OH) 2 and Fe 9 @S-Ni(OH) 2 exhibit excellent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance, respectively, the overpotential requiring only 7 mV and 269 mV, respectively, at current density of 10 mA cm −2 . (−) Pt 9 @S-Ni(OH) 2 ||Fe 9 @S-Ni(OH) 2 (+) presents a high current density of 531.07 mA cm −2 at cell-voltage of 1.80 V in overall-water splitting (OWS), which is 14.07 times higher than that of the commercial (−) Pt/C||IrO 2 (+) (37.86 mA cm −2 ) system. This work achieves the development of cost-effective and stable electrocatalysts, offering a solution for large-scale and sustainable water-hydrogen conversion.

Hybrids of Co(OH)2 nanosheets (NSs) and Co3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized by a facile hydrothermal strategy, wherein the Co(OH)2 NSs form a flower-like structure and the Co3O4 NPs are embedded on the interlayer surfaces of the Co(OH)2 NSs. The morphology, microstructure and composition of the hybrid can be tuned by the reaction time. When tested as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, these ordered hybrid nanostructures of Co(OH)2 NSs/Co3O4 NPs manifest significantly enhanced Li storage properties, including a high reversible capacity, long cycle life, and superior rate performance. The obtained promising performance could be attributed to the unique microstructure and the synergistic effect of the corresponding chemical composition in the nanocomposite.

As one typically sustainable polymer material, poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) is highly necessary to improve its flame retardancy and simultaneously maintain satisfied mechanical performances. In this study, “three-in-one” novel flame retardant was synthesized through grafting organophosphorus onto Fe-MOF functionalized Mg(OH) 2 (labeled as MH@Fe-MOF-P), then it was introduced into PBS matrix to investigate its effect on flame retardancy and mechanical properties. The results indicated that PBS/20MH@Fe-MOF-P exhibited excellent flame retardancy, including that the LOI was 29.6%, the UL-94 rating reached to V0, and the peak of heat release rate (PHRR) decreased by 82.1%. The flame retardant mechanism was ascribed to the synergistic effect of Mg(OH) 2 , Fe-MOF and organophosphorus on delaying the decomposition and catalyzing the carbonization of PBS. Meanwhile, PBS/20MH@Fe-MOF-P presented better mechanical performances than PBS/20MH and PBS/20MH@Fe-MOF composites, resulting from the special structure of MH@Fe-MOF-P to achieve good dispersion of fillers and strong polymer-filler interface adhesion. This work provides a novel strategy to modify Mg(OH) 2 with high flame retardant efficiency, and also broadens the practical applications of PBS materials with balanced comprehensive performances.

Four new 3D uranyl complexes, [(UO2)2(H2O)(ipa)2]·9H2O (1), [(UO2)2(H2O)(nip)2]·H2O·Et3NH (2), [(UO2)2(H2O)(aip)2]·Et3NH (3) and [(UO2)(hip)]2·17H2O (4) (H2ipa = isophthalic acid, H2nip = 5-nitroisophthalic acid, H2aip = 5-aminoisophthalic acid, H2hip = 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid, Et3N = triethylamine), were hydrothermally synthesized. Structural analyses reveal that compounds 1–4 consist of pentagonal bipyramidal uranyl monomers bridged via acid inkers to form a structural motif, [(UO2)2L2], serving as the foundation of the 3D framework. Two structural motifs adopt different arrangement modes to connect to two types of chains. For 1–3, uranium atoms and carboxyl groups being from two types of chains respectively are coordinated to build similar 3D frameworks, while for 4, one type of chain links to the 3D architecture by the bond of the uranium atoms and –OH of the 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid ligand. The different guest molecules and structure assemblies displayed by the four compounds are a function of the variation of substituent groups of 5-X-1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid (X = –H, –NO2, –NH2, –OH). Furthermore, the photocatalytic properties of 2 and 4 for degradation of rhodamine-B (RhB) upon xenon lamp irradiation have been examined. Elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, DRS and luminescence properties were also discussed.

Flower-like n -type CeO 2-δ is hybridized with p -type β-Bi 2 O 3 nanoparticles to design a novel β-Bi 2 O 3 /CeO 2-δ p - n heterojunction photocatalyst via a thermal treatment process of Bi/Ce(CO 3 )(OH) precursor. The synthesized β-Bi 2 O 3 /CeO 2-δ exhibits a remarkable enhancement in NO removal and significant suppression of toxic intermediates nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) under visible light irradiation. The superior photocatalytic activity of β-Bi 2 O 3 /CeO 2-δ for NO removal is mainly derived from the synergistic effects of the oxygen vacancies (OVs) and p-n heterojunction. The OVs not only enhance the visible light utilization and boost the separation of electron-hole pairs but also improve the adsorption and activation of NO and O 2 . Particularly, the p-n heterojunction is beneficial for the interfacial migration of photogenerated charge carriers. Electron spin resonance (ESR) and trapping experiment reveal that the synergistic effects of OVs and p-n heterojunction can induce the generation of more active species. The electrochemical measurements and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations in-depth confirm that both p-n heterojunction and OVs can accelerate the interfacial charge transfer, resulting in the deep oxidation of reactants. Therefore, the flower-like β-Bi 2 O 3 /CeO 2-δ p-n heterojunction photocatalyst exhibits an advanced photocatalytic activity for deep NO removal and a suppressed NO 2 generation. In addition, monitoring the reaction products by in situ Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR) further validates that the main products of nitrates are formed during the photocatalytic process. This work demonstrates a straightforward approach for construction of p-n heterojunction photocatalysts, which can enhance the effective photocatalytic activity and stability for NO removal.

Sulfadiazine (SDZ), a type of antibiotics with refractory and high-mobile characteristics, can accumulate and be detected out in aquatic ecosystems all over the world. SDZ can be destroyed by ozonation, but the degradation effect is easily and negatively affected by carbonate ions (CO 3 2- ) which be eliminated by introduction of Ca 2+ in ozonation systems. Experimental results manifested that the maximum removal rate of 100 % and 94.15 % corresponding to SDZ and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were achieved under the optimum Ca(OH) 2 addition without pH adjustment. In addition, the presence of Cl - and humic acid inhibited the SDZ degradation to some extent. It could be found that Ca 2+ and OH - jointly played great roles in increased oxidation of ozonation. For one thing, quenching effect of CO 3 2- on •OH was eliminated through combination of Ca 2+ and CO 3 2- and low molecular intermediate forming insoluble precipitates. For another, OH - caused alkaline condition which was instrumental in existence of •OH. Moreover, successive addition of Ca(OH) 2 was proposed and proved to be feasible to elevate the •OH generation and oxidizing ability in O 3 /Ca(OH) 2 system. Ultimately, the three potential degradation pathways of SDZ were speculated basing on density function theory (DFT) calculations and identification of several intermediate products. Overall, this study provided promising insights for promotion of antibiotics removal and ozonation efficiency by alleviating the inhibitory effect of carbonate ions in aqueous environment.

To improve Co-LDH nanosheet utilization in catalytic conversion of microalgal lipids to biodiesel, an efficient bifunctional catalyst with synergetic acid and base sites was synthesized by in situ growth of Co-LDH nanosheets on HY zeolite. The bifunctional catalyst with a molar ratio of Co-LDH nanosheets to HY zeolite at 4 exhibited synergistic catalysis of acid sites in the HY zeolite and base sites Co(OH)x (x = 2, 3) in the Co-LDH nanosheets, which promoted esterification of free fatty acids and transesterification of triglycerides in microalgal lipids. Co-LDH nanosheets were dispersed on the HY zeolite surface through generated Si–O–Co bonds to enhance Co(OH)x (x = 2, 3) utilization, while the specific surface area of the catalyst increased from 107.9 m2/g (Co-LDH) to 272.5 m2/g. Therefore, the optimal catalyst promoted conversion efficiency from 87.8 to 96.1%, and the conversion efficiency remained at 87.6% after six reusability cycles.

Advanced oxidation processes are widely used to remove petroleum hydrocarbons from soil, but usually consume large quantities of ferrous and acidify the soil. This study tested an advanced oxidation approach based on percarbonate in laboratory experiments. It removed 88% petroleum hydrocarbons in soil with a pH increase from 8.2 to 10.2. ·OH and ·CO 3 - were the main reactive species, and degraded 41% and 37% PHCs from soil respectively. The o-dihydroxybenzene structure in catechin was found to reduce ferric to ferrous, and prolong the generation of ·OH from 120 s to over 1800 s. The petroleum hydrocarbons were degraded to intermediates including alkanes and olefins through hydrogen-abstraction by ·OH and ·CO 3 - , and by dimerization and β-scission of alkyl radicals. These intermediates were then oxidized to CO 2 and H 2 O by ·OH and ·CO 3 - . The main residual intermediates in the soil were low-molecular-weight n-alkanes and branched alkanes, and they were found to inhibit the growth of oats ( Avena sativa L. ) much less than the original petroleum hydrocarbons. These findings provide a fundamental basis for designing effective technologies which use percarbonate to remove organic pollutants .

There is an urgent need to develop an economical and convenient method for the ultrasensitive detection of patulin (PAT), a mycotoxin that can potentially harm human health when it is found in fruits and their derivatives. In this study, we have developed a novel fluorescent aptasensor that utilizes nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) as the fluorescent donor and hexagonal β-Co(OH) 2 nanoplates as the fluorescent acceptor. N-CDs were synthesized through the hydrothermal method, resulting in spherical particles with a diameter of 7.6 nm. These nanoparticles exhibited excellent water solubility and displayed a vibrant blue emission at 448 nm when excited at 360 nm. Cobalt hydroxide nanoplates with a beta crystal structure [β-Co(OH) 2 ] were synthesized using a simple co-precipitation method, exhibiting hexagonal plate-like shapes with uniform lateral sizes of 4–5 μm. The fluorescence of N-CDs can be efficiently quenched by hexagonal β-Co(OH) 2 nanoplates through Förster resonance energy transfer mechanism. The maximum quenching-recovery capability can be achieved when the concentrations of N-CDs-Apt and β-Co(OH) 2 nanoplates are 150 nmol/L and 100 μg/mL, respectively. The pH of the TE buffer should be 8.0, and the incubation time should be 10 min at 25 °C. The developed fluorescent aptasensor displayed an excellent selectivity for PAT determination with a detection limit of 0.57 pg/mL in the linear range of 1.25 pg/mL-100 ng/mL. The rapid PAT determination in fruit juice samples was realized with good recoveries (96.9–105.8%). The developed fluorescent aptasensor based on the interaction between N-CDs and hexagonal β-Co(OH) 2 nanoplates can be a promising method for the rapid and ultrasensitive detection of PAT in agricultural products.

Urea, a non-toxic nitrogenous small molecule, is used for electrochemical energy storage and conversion. However, slow kinetics of urea electro-oxidation reaction and finding an optimal catalyst continues to be major challenges. In this study, we report the preparation of hierarchical Ni(OH) 2 –NiS in-plane edge hybrid nanosheets on the carbon cloth surface (Ni(OH) 2 –NiS-CC) as a flexible catalytic electrode by hydrothermal and electroplating processes. The Ni(OH) 2 –NiS-CC substrate is characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and electro-chemical methods. The developed hierarchical Ni(OH) 2 –NiS-CC nanosheets electrode shows an enhanced electrocatalytic performance (low-onset oxidation potential, rapid reaction kinetics, and higher mass activity) towards urea electro-oxidation than NiS-CC in an alkaline solution. Counting the benefits including superior catalytic activity, conductivity and available more active sites, the hierarchical Ni(OH) 2 –NiS-CC in-plane edge hybrid nanosheets electrode displays urea electro-oxidation with a catalytic current of 87.5 mA at 0.8 V vs. Ag/AgCl, which denotes the remarkable electrocatalytic activity as compared with other Ni based catalysts. This simple and useful electrode fabrication method enables a new route to acquire ultra-fine heterostructured substrates for wide variety of potential applications including direct-urea-fuel-cells (DUFC) and urea-assisted water splitting.
