Photocatalysts TiO 2 @UiO-66-(OH) 2 was successfully synthesized via an impregnation method for removal of formaldehyde under high pressure mercury lamp irradiation, and the photocatalysts were characterized by using a variety of analytical techniques. The characterized results indicated that TiO 2 was attached to the surface of UiO-66-(OH) 2 , and there was a strong electronic interaction between the elements of TiO 2 and UiO-66-(OH) 2 in the composite. The synergistic combination of high adsorption capacity of UiO-66-(OH) 2 , high dispersion of TiO 2 and efficient interfacial charge transfer between UiO-66-(OH) 2 and TiO 2 have a significant impact on the enhanced photocatalytic performance for formaldehyde removal. And the hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH) and superoxide radicals (⋅O 2 − ) also play a major role in removal of formaldehyde. The formaldehyde removal rate of 20TiO 2 @UO (1 g 0.15 m 3 ) is 83.01 % within 5.5 h, if the removal time is extended to 24 h, the formaldehyde removal rate can reach 91.49 %, and the continuous photocatalytic reaction showed that the composite is a highly stable catalyst. This could provide a useful method for highly efficient formaldehyde in indoor air purification.

A Ni(OH) 2 /TiO 2 photoanode possessing high photoelectrocatalytic activity toward glucose oxidation driven by visible light was fabricated. The results indicated that deposition of Ni(OH) 2 on TiO 2 film electrode could remarkably promote the catalytic oxidation of glucose under visible light illumination. By applying a low voltage, the Ni(OH) 2 /TiO 2 electrode showed a linear photoelectrochemical response to glucose in the concentration range from 0.5 μM to 20 μM. Furthermore, the high photoelectrocatalytic activity of Ni(OH) 2 /TiO 2 electrode toward glucose oxidation was utilized to construct a glucose-air photofuel cell, which generated electrical signal responding to glucose concentration from 5 μM to 100 μM, without using external electrical power supply. Thus, dual non-enzymatic glucose sensors based on photocatalytic oxidation of glucose on the Ni(OH) 2 /TiO 2 electrode under visible light illumination were demonstrated.

Recovering cobalt from waste batteries is crucial for resource recycling and environmental protection. Here, MOF-OH, a Zr-based MOF, was synthesized and merged into a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) matrix to create MOF-OH-PAN nanofibers (NFs). These NFs showed a high cobalt ion adsorption capacity of 33.1 mg/g, retaining over 90% of the capacity after six cycles. The adsorption mechanism involves Co(II) surface diffusion followed by strong bonding with functional groups. This technology enables efficient cobalt recovery from waste batteries, supporting reuse and reducing resource depletion and environmental pollution. The study provides insights into waste battery resource management, highlighting environmental and economic benefits and contributing to green resource recovery and circular economy initiatives.

A visible light-driven photocatalyst, C-doped Zn 3 (OH) 2 V 2 O 7 , prepared by a hydrothermal method was studied. The as-prepared catalyst was characterized by SEM, XRD , DRS, and XPS , and exhibited efficient photocatalytic activity in the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible-light irradiation. Besides decoloring, the decomposition of MB was also observed, further demonstrating the performance of the photocatalyst. The carbon existing on the surface of Zn 3 (OH) 2 V 2 O 7 nanorods was free and in carbide form. Dye degradation followed first-order kinetics, and was explained on the basis of the Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism.

Herein, a facile sol–gel strategy for building the ordered interpenetrating network of Ni(OH) 2 and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was proposed. In this strategy, rGO nanosheets were homogeneously fixed inside composite utilizing the pores of Ni(OH) 2 gel as template, forming rGO-interpenetrated gel network. It was found that the rGO nanosheets could effectively reduce the internal resistant of composites and provide mechanical support for the gel network of Ni(OH) 2 . Therefore, the composite presented high electrochemical performance, especially high-rate performance, due to the interpenetrating of rGO nanosheets plus the supplementary role of acetylene black. It had high specific capacitance of 2163 F g −1 at low current density of 2.9 A g −1 and 733 F g −1 at high current density of 86.8 A g −1 .

Novel polyurethane (PU) conducting composite thin films based on tetrahydroxyl-terminated poly(butadiene- co -acrylonitrile) (THTBN) and hydroxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs-OH), were prepared via an in-situ coupling reaction route between hydroxyl groups and isocyanate groups. The chemical and crystal structures were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphologies and the dispersion behavior of THTBN/MWNTs-OH were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV–Vis measurements. The influence of MWNTs-OH loading amount on conducting properties and response to some volatile organic compounds (VOCs) especially benzene and toluene was investigated. The experimental results indicated that MWNTs-OH was tightly encapsulated by PU moieties and homogeneously dispersed in the PU moieties. The as-prepared THTBN/MWNTs-OH PU conducting thin films exhibited strong and selective response to nonpolar benzene and toluene vapors, and the response depends on the loading of MWNTs-OH and VOC vapor concentrations. The improvement in dispersity and sensing properties were closely correlated with the chemical linkage of MWNTs-OH in the THTBN matrices through bridging molecules HDI. The developed PU conducting thin films had fast response and reversibility, significant reproducibility and long-term stability. Therefore, they had a possibility as a candidate of volatile organic solvent vapor sensors.

Recently, several emerging pollutants have caused increasing damage to aquatic ecosystems. Reducing antibiotic concentrations in water by visible light is one of the most promising strategies for sustainable development. Here, a Bi 2 S 3 /CeO 2 /Ni(OH) 2 Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was prepared by the hydrothermal method, which could effectively utilize free radicals to degrade tetracycline. Ni(OH) 2 was used for co-catalysing in photodegradation experiments to improve electron transfer and enhance photocatalytic performance. The degradation rate of the Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst for 20 mg/L TC was 91.35% after reacting 60 min under visible light irradiation. Besides, it also investigated such operational parameters influencing the photocatalytic reaction as catalyst dosage, initial concentration of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC), and solution pH. Studies using free radical scavenging experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements demonstrated that hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide radicals (·O 2 − ) both contributed to the photodegradation of TC. Finally, with high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), potential degradation pathways of the intermediate products were logically inferred as well as the photocatalytic mechanism. The experimental results surface that the prepared Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst Bi 2 S 3 /CeO 2 /Ni(OH) 2 exhibits superior photocatalytic performance, offering a novel approach to addressing TC contamination in environmental settings.

Latent thermal energy storage using phase change material (PCM) is an effective way to store and transport energy. In this work, expanded graphite was modified using octylphenol polyoxyethylene ether to generate modified expanded graphite (MEG), and then a novel shape-stabilized Ba(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O/MEG composite PCM was synthesized by incorporating Ba(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O into MEG matrix. Mass fractions of Ba(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O in composite PCM were calculated from 74% to 93%. The effects of MEG on properties of PCM were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and thermal constant analyzer. The results indicated that MEG had the desired compatibility with Ba(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O. The phase separation of Ba(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O was effectively inhibited by the MEG matrix and the supercooling temperature decreased from 13 °C for Ba(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O to 2.4 °C for composite PCM with a MEG matrix density of 200 g/L. At the same matrix density, the thermal conductivity of composite PCM reached 3.58 W/(m K), 1.84 times higher than that of Ba(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O. The latent heat was approximately equal to the product of the latent heat of Ba(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O and its mass fraction. Moreover, the enthalpy loss of the composite PCM was negligible after 400 cycles, showing good thermal reliability.

Image-guided phototherapy is considered to be a prospective technique for cancer treatment because it can provide both oncotherapy and bioimaging, thus achieving an optimized therapeutic efficacy and higher treatment accuracy. Compared to complicated systems with multiple components, using a single material for this multifunctional purpose is preferable. In this work, we strategically fabricated poly(acrylic acid)- (PAA-) coated Cu2(OH)PO4 quantum dots [denoted as Cu2(OH)PO4@PAA QDs], which exhibit a strong near-infrared photoabsorption ability. As a result, an excellent photothermal conversion ability and the photoactivated formation of reactive oxygen species could be realized upon NIR irradiation, concurrently meeting the basic requirements for photothermal and photodynamic therapies. Moreover, phototherapeutic investigations on both cervical cancer cells in vitro and solid tumors of an in vivo mice model illustrated the effective antitumor effects of Cu2(OH)PO4@PAA upon 1064-nm laser irradiation, with no detectable lesions in major organs during treatment. Meanwhile, Cu2(OH)PO4@PAA is also an exogenous contrast for photoacoustic tomography (PAT) imaging to depict tumors under NIR irradiation. In brief, the Cu2(OH)PO4@PAA QDs prepared in this work are expected to serve as a multifunctional theranostic platform.

In many important industries, such as the textile printing industry, a large amount of dye/salt wastewater is often discharged, which can destroy the ecological environment of the water body. Membrane technology has a great potential in the treatment of environmental problems caused by dye/salt wastewater. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofiltration (NF) membrane has a bright future in dye/salt wastewater treatment , however, works on this are rare. Herein, antibacterial PVA NF membrane incorporated with Cu(OH) 2 nanowires for the dye/salt wastewater treatment is reported. The membrane was prepared via coating the solutions containing PVA, glutaraldehyde and Cu(OH) 2 nanowires on the polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane. Cu(OH) 2 nanowires has a diameter of 60 nm and was successfully introduced into the membrane. The introduction of nanowires improved the membrane hydrophilicity and roughness, which is conducive to the improvement of membrane flux. Membrane separation performance for one component solution and dye/salt solution were investigated. The introduction of Cu(OH) 2 increases the flux of the membrane obviously (the highest increase is 178.78% (from 21.49 to 38.42 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 , for NaCl solution as the feed). Besides, the membrane doped with nanowires also possessed a high dye/salt selectivity . For one component solution, the dye removal rate was over 97.00% while the salt rejection was low (the lowest was 13.18% (NaCl)). For the dye/salt solution, the dye (Congo Red) rejection kept at a high level (98.91%) and the salt (NaCl) rejection was still low (13.71%), while the flux was also high (37.56 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 ). The performance is superior to that of many membranes reported in previous works. Moreover, the Cu(OH) 2 nanowires endowed the membrane with an improved and high antibacterial property. The sterilization rate of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus reached more than 99.99%.

Three-dimensional graphene foam (3DGF) is a superior sensing material because of its high conductivity, large specific surface area and wide electrochemical potential windows. In this work, hexagonal Ni(OH)2 nanosheets are deposited on the surface of chemical vapor deposition-grown 3DGF through a facial hydrothermal process without any auxiliary reagents. The morphology and structure of the composite are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Based on the Ni(OH)2/3DGF composite, a free-standing electrochemical electrode is fabricated. Being employed as a nonenzymatic glucose detection electrochemical electrode, it exhibits a high sensitivity (∼2.65 mA mM−1 cm−2), low detection limit (0.34 μM) and excellent selectivity with a linear response from 1 μM to 1.17 mM. The excellent sensing properties of the Ni(OH)2/3DGF electrode may be attributed to the synergistic effect of the high electrocatalytic activity of Ni(OH)2 nanosheets and the high conductivity and large surface area of 3DGF.

CsPbBr 3 nanoplates (NPs) have shown great potential in diverse optoelectronic applications. Despite the wonderful luminescence properties, the inherent instability of these NPs hinders their use in practical situations. Herein, a facile water-assisted strategy is reported to synthesize highly stable blue emission CsPbBr 3 NPs encapsulated in PbBr(OH). The introduction of water directly into the reaction mixture is pivotal, as it triggers the transformation of bulk CsPbBr 3 nanocubes into 2-D CsPbBr 3 NPs within the PbBr(OH) matrix, resulting in the formation of CsPbBr 3 @PbBr(OH) microbricks. Remarkably, the water content in the reaction mixture allows the control of the number of perovskite layers in the NPs, thus enabling the emission color to be tuned from deep blue to green. The unconventional approach presented herein not only offers a cost-effective pathway to synthesize blue-emitting perovskites which are highly stable in a wide variety of polar and non-polar solvents, but also holds immense potential for propelling the advancement of high-performance LEDs and other optoelectronic devices. The findings underscore the significance of water in dictating the growth dynamics and emission characteristics of perovskite NPs, paving the way for their practical application.
