Enhancing the photoreduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) to produce valuable chemicals, such as carbon monoxide (CO), is of significant importance. The bottleneck in developing advanced catalysts lies in the rational design of catalytic centers with efficient CO 2 activation and hydrogen proton production. In this work, palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) were successfully modified on UiO-66-NH 2 -Zn SAs (UN-Zn SAs) by a photo-deposition method. The optimized photocatalyst , 4 Pd NPs-UN-0.7Zn SAs, demonstrated exceptional performance in converting CO 2 to CO, exhibiting approximately 1.4-fold and 7.8-fold enhancements compared to UN-0.7Zn SAs and UN, respectively. A combination of time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance results unveiled that the introduction of Pd NPs effectively promoted the photogenerated charge separation and facilitated water activation to produce more hydrogen protons. The generated hydrogen protons were subsequently coupled with nearby CO 2 that was activated by Zn SAs, thus achieving the facile water-activation-induced CO 2 reduction process. Theoretical calculations further confirmed that the heterogeneous synergistic effects between Zn SAs and Pd NPs lowered the energy barrier for the rate-limiting step of CO 2 conversion to COOH* , thereby achieving efficient photocatalytic CO 2 reduction reactions. This work provides a new perspective on the development of efficient catalysts for the effective conversion of CO 2 .

Water electrolysis has been acknowledged as a renewable, scalable, and effective way of producing hydrogen . However, for water splitting, efficient and noble metal-free electrocatalysts were lacking. Here, a Co–Ni–Zn porous three-dimension N-doped carbonization structure on the carbon nanotube film (CNTF) was synthesized through a metal organic frameworks (MOFs) annealing procedure. The porous morphology, caused by the evaporation of zinc at high temperatures, enhances the interaction between the catalysts and electrolyte, and the self-supporting structure minimizes the contact resistance between the catalysts and the substrate, which reduces obstructions during current flow. More active sites, multiple mesopores, and high conductivity are all features of this composite structure. It can achieve a small overpotential of 112 mV and 270 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 , respectively, for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER). At a current density of 10 mA cm −2 , the Co–Ni–Zn/NCNTF has an external voltage of 1.58 V and is very durable for overall water splitting.

The selective electrochemical reduction of CO 2 to CO is a promising solution for the design of carbon-neutral, sustainable processes. Achieving a highly selective single reduction product is still challenging because of the energetically favorable competing hydrogen evolution reaction. We report the fabrication of N-doped sponge-like porous graphitic carbon structures embedded with Fe nanoparticles (Fe@NPC) via the pre-modification of a metal-organic framework (IRMOF-3(Zn)) with carboxyferrocene, followed by pyrolysis . The as-prepared Fe@NPC exhibited a 96.4% CO Faradaic efficiency at –0.5 V RHE and good stability. The exceptional CO 2 reduction performance is attributed to the unique structure of the composite catalyst, which provides abundant hierarchical pores that increase CO 2 adsorption and mass transfer, and active Fe sites that synergistically accelerate the kinetics of CO generation. The in situ attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared analysis provided proof of the improved ability of Fe@NPC to accumulate the crucial intermediate *COOH compared with other pyrolyzed porous carbons. Fe@NPC was used in a Zn-CO 2 battery that delivered a maximum power density of 3.0 mW cm –2 , evidencing its potential for application in energy-converting devices.

In this work, we designed a novel thermally stable Zn bromide-based deep eutectic ionic liquid (DEIL), synthesized from tetralkylphosphonium bromide (Bu 4 PBr) and ZnBr 2 by a facile heating method. The structural changes and the physical properties of the catalyst were in-depth investigated. Among all the DEILs, ZnBr 2 ·2Bu 4 PBr showed high activity, achieved 98.2% propylene carbonate (PC) yield at a low catalyst usage (0.15 mol%), and remained good stabilities for 8 cycles. Furthermore, based on experimental results and DFT calculations, we found that Bu 4 P + cation of DEIL served as a frame charge-balanced species interacting with three possible anions of ZnBr 4 2− , ZnBr 3 − and Br − . The interaction is accompanied by a reversible pre-equilibrium in which [Bu 4 P] 2 [ZnBr 4 ] could dissociate and produce the true catalytically active species, [Bu 4 P][ZnBr 3 ] and Bu 4 PBr. Meanwhile, a possible ring-opening mechanism was proposed, in which the synergetic effect of cations and anions in the catalytic system can promote ring-opening. The significance of this study is that it provides guidance for developing metal bromide-based DEILs for carbonate synthesis.

Si 3 N 4 is a promising material for heat dissipation substrate due to its excellent thermal conductivity and mechanical properties. However, its application is limited by the difficulties in surface metallization. In this work, surface metallization of Si 3 N 4 ceramic substrate is realized by thick film method for the first time. Conductive silver paste containing Bi 2 O 3 -B 2 O 3 -ZnO glass frit as glass binder was prepared, and high-performance silver thick films were formed on Si 3 N 4 ceramic surface. The mechanical and electrical properties of silver films were significantly promoted with increasing sintering temperature, and silver films with high shear strength of 23.35 MPa and low resistivity of 3.41 μΩ·cm were obtained when sintered at 600 °C. In the meanwhile, the silver films exist high reliability under thermal cycles. The bonding between the silver thick film and Si 3 N 4 ceramic substrate was considerably enhanced as a result of interfacial reaction, forming Bi 2 Si 2 O 5 phase at the interface during sintering process. The formation mechanism was discussed and it is of great significance for the interfacial design in future studies. The results suggest that thick film method is a promising technology for obtaining high-quality surface metallization for Si 3 N 4 ceramic substrate. Graphical abstract

Baicalin (Bn) is the main component of the Chinese patent medicine Baicalin Tablet which is used for the auxiliary treatment of acute, chronic hepatitis and persistent hepatitis. Herein, an ultrasensitive electrochemical sensor was manufactured based on the nitrogen and zinc double doped carbon nanospheres(ZnN-CNS) derived from γ-cyclodextrin self-assembled supermolecules with ZnCl 2 . The sensing nanomaterials were characterized and investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), raman spectroscopy (RS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), etc. Under the optimized optimal environment, the linear detection range of the prepared sensor for Bn was ranged from 1 × 10 −8 to 7.5 × 10 −7 M, where the LOD was 7.17 × 10 −8 M with a sensitivity of 220 A/M. Good accuracy and desirable recovery results for the detection of Bn in real samples (Bear bile scutellaria eye drops and Shuanghuanglian oral liquid) were also observed. This work provides a new idea about the detection of Bn as well as the application of novel binary doped carbon materials .

Background In the field of electronic packaging, Sn-58Bi solder paste is a promising low-temperature option for step soldering. However, the tendency for the Bi-rich phase to coarsen and segregate poses a significant challenge to the long-term reliability of the solder joints. Methods The Sn coated Zn (Zn@Sn) core-shell particles were prepared through a chemical plating process and incorporated into the Sn-58Bi low-temperature solder paste to enhance its reliability. The microstructural and mechanical characteristics of the solder joints were evaluated under thermal cycling and thermomigration conditions to assess their long-term service reliability. Significant findings The addition of Zn lowers the nucleation energy and promotes the refinement of the eutectic structure, avoiding a significant reduction in shear strength after thermal cycling. In thermomigration, the heat transfer Q* of Bi is calculated to be 22.5 kJ/mol. The Zn-rich phases hardly move and are evenly distributed within the solder joints, acting like a barrier to prevent the Bi phase diffusing from the hot end to the cold end.

Non-noble metal nitrides have emerged as highly efficient and robust substitutes for platinum-based catalysts toward the oxygen reduction reaction. Herein, we demonstrate a supramolecular confinement strategy to synthesize ultrafine iron nitride (Fe3N, less than 1.5 nm) nanocrystals embedded in a nitrogen-doped carbon matrix, in which the pre-formed Fe–N coordination bonds can anchor the Fe3N nanocrystals and prevent their agglomeration during the pyrolysis process. Reducing the size of Fe3N nanocrystals is conducive to exposing more accessible Fe–N–C ORR active sites and consequently facilitating electrocatalytic ORR activity. The optimized Fe3N/NC-800 exhibits a positive half-wave potential of 0.83 V versus RHE, along with favorable stability and superior tolerance toward methanol. The power density and specific capacity of the optimized Zn–air batteries associated with Fe3N/NC-800 are as high as 90.91 mW cm−2 and 691.59 mA h g−1, respectively. Briefly, a feasible supramolecular confinement strategy is proposed for the construction of ultrafine nanocrystals.

The accumulation of antibiotics in the environment has caused worldwide concern and photocatalytic processes have shown attractive prospects for the elimination of antibiotics due to its sustainability, cleanliness and efficiency. In this study, a series of self-assembled hollow tubular Zn–In–S photocatalysts (Zn-doped In 2 S 3 , ZnIn 2 S 4 , and ZnS/ZnIn 2 S 4 ) were first designed by one-step sulfidation of Zn/In-MOFs. The as-synthesized microtubular structured Zn–In–S exhibited high surface area(107.61–127.26 m 2 /g), high porosity(0.25–0.52 cm 3 g −1 ) and high degradation rate(≥86%) towards tetracycline within 120 min. Moreover, the photoelectric properties and photocatalytic performance were dependent on the existence of Zn species. Particularly, the optimized hollow microtubular ZnS/ZnIn 2 S 4 composites exhibited ultrahigh photocatalytic degradation rate (>90%) within 1 h solar light irradiation. The kinetic constant reached 0.0379 min −1 , which was 2.96, 2.02, and 5.65 times higher than In 2 S 3 , ZnIn 2 S 4 , and ZnS respectively. The ultrahigh photocatalytic degradation efficiency originated from the formation of direct Z scheme heterojunction between ZnIn 2 S 4 and ZnS. The unique heterojunction enabled the effective separation of electron-hole pairs and the production of highly reactive oxidants (•OH, •O 2 − , h + ). Density functional theory(DFT) demonstrated a higher charge density near the Fermi level and higher affinity towards O 2 molecules, which contributed to the efficient interfacial charge mobility and O 2 activation. The work provides guidance for the modulation of ternary catalysts to maximize the virtues of photocatalytic activity .

The poor osseointegration and postoperative bacterial infection are prominently responsible for the failure of titanium (Ti)-based implant in clinic. To address above issues, methacryloyl modified graphene oxide (GOMA) as zinc ions (Zn 2+ ) reservoir and release platform was fabricated on the Ti substrates with cathode electrophoresis deposition (EPD). Afterward, phenylboronic acid (PBA) functionalization methacryloyl-gelatin (GelMA-PBA) was reacting with GOMA through in situ free-radical polymerization to prepare GO-Zn/GelMA-PBA coating. The obtained coating was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Zn ions release property, respectively. in vitro cellular experiments including cell activity, alkaline phosphatase, collagen secretion, extracellular matrix (ECM) mineralization, osteogenic genes and proteins, revealed that GO-Zn/GelMA-PBA coating was beneficial for enhancing the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of osteoblasts. The positive results were related to the existence of gelatin, formation of boronic ester between PBA groups, and carbohydrates of osteoblasts surface. Meanwhile, antibacterial assay against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa confirmed that GO-Zn/GelMA-PBA coating on Ti substrates had superior antibacterial capacity, availably inhibited the bacterial adhesion, and prevented formation of biofilm. Hence, the study provides a promising strategy for designing pro-osteogenesis and antibacterial coating on Ti substrates for orthopedic applications.

A series of Pd-La/SiO 2 /cordierite (cordierite = COR) and Pd-Zn/SiO 2 /COR bimetallic monolithic catalysts were prepared, characterized, and tested for the hydrogenation of 2-ethylanthraquinone (eAQ) as the key step of anthraquinone method for production of H 2 O 2 . It was found that the metal particle size is remarkably dependent on the Pd/M (M = La, and Zn) mass ratio of bimetallic monolithic catalysts. By virtue of its small metal particle size and the strong interaction, the 0.8% Pd-0.4% La/SiO 2 /COR monolithic catalyst presents the highest H 2 O 2 yield (7.7 g L −1 ) and selectivity toward active quinones (95%), which is attributed to the addition of La leading to the synergistic effect between Pd and La. Moreover, the density functional theory (DFT) calculations for the adsorption of eAQ over the surface of Pd-La/SiO 2 /COR and Pd-Zn/SiO 2 /COR bimetallic monolithic catalysts have been conducted to further understand the mechanism of molecule–surface interactions between eAQ and the PdM(1 1 1) or Pd(1 1 1) surfaces. Detailed studies showed that the high catalytic activity of Pd-La/SiO 2 /COR bimetallic monolithic catalyst is attributed to the stronger adsorption between Pd 3 La 1 (1 1 1) and the carbonyl group of eAQ.
