Polishing porcelain stoneware tile residues (PPR) is used to prepare foamed ceramic to solve the problem of solid waste discharge in ceramic industry. In this study, C, Al and Si powder were added to the simulated PPR to control foaming, and the mechanism of silicon carbide foaming in the PPR was discussed in detail. After these powders were introduced into the simulated PPR, the phenomenon of alumina crystallization on the pore wall of the foamed ceramic and the diffusion of gas in the foamed ceramic were discovered to be exciting. The foaming mechanism of PPR is detailed as follows: the diffusion rate of oxygen in silicate liquid is faster than that of CO during sintering, so the CO generated by incomplete oxidation of silicon carbide in PPR accumulates in the liquid, which makes the volume of ceramics expand and causes foaming.

Main conclusion A novel cytochrome P450 from Tripterygium wilfordii , CYP81AM1, specifically catalyses the C-15 hydroxylation of dehydroabietic acid. This is the first CYP450 to be found in plants with this function. Abstract Cytochrome P450 oxygenases (CYPs) play an important role in the post-modification in biosynthesis of plant bioactive terpenoids. Here, we found that CYP81AM1 can catalyze the formation of 15-hydroxydehydroabietic acid by in vitro enzymatic reactions and in vivo yeast feeding assays. This is the first study to show that CYP81 family enzymes are involved in the hydroxylation of abietane diterpenoids. At the same time, we found that CYP81AM1 could not catalyse abietatriene and dehydroabietinol, suggesting that the occurrence of the reaction may be related to the carboxyl group. Through molecular docking and site mutations, it was found that some amino acid sites (F104, K107) near the carboxyl group had an important effect on enzyme activity, also suggesting that the carboxyl group played an important role in the occurrence of the reaction.

We report on a hollow NiCoSe 2 /C prepared through a step-by-step derivatization method as high-performance supercapacitor electrode. Hollow nickel-cobalt bimetallic layered hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) derived from a typical zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) was selenized to NiCoSe 2 via in situ selenylation, which was then coated with a layer of carbon via the hydrothermal method by using glucose as the carbon source. The electrochemical performances of the as-synthesized NiCoSe 2 /C are investigated, and the results indicate that the hollow NiCoSe 2 /C exhibits considerable specific capacity of 232.6 mAh g −1 at 1 A g −1 , good rate capability of 72.6% and high capacity retention of 88.3% after 5,000 cycles. Compared with ZIF-67, NiCo-LDH and NiCoSe 2 , the greatly enhanced electrochemical performances of the NiCoSe 2 /C can be due to the hollow nanostructure of NiCoSe 2 , enhanced electrical conductivity by the introduction of Se and C, and inhibited volume changes during the redox cycling from the protection of the carbon layer.

Efficient catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are of paramount importance for electrochemical energy applications. Herein, a high-efficient carbon-based trifunctional electrocatalyst FeCoP/C is synthesized through a simple one-step supramolecular-assisted method, in which a supramolecular gel structure is formed by phosphoric acid and melamine to allow the efficient and homogeneous incorporation of highly active species. Experimentally, the as-obtained catalysts exhibit practical trifunctional activities in the ORR, OER, and HER. In alkaline electrolytes , requiring overpotentials of 95 and 282 mV to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm −2 for HER and OER, respectively, and presents the significantly increased alkalic ORR activity, with the half-wave potential of 0.849 V. Furthermore, the FeCoP/C also showed good integrated capabilities for Zn-air batteries. This supramolecular-assisted strategy could bring new inspiration to boost the electrocatalytic performance of transition metal-based electrocatalysts for energy conversion applications.

The fabrication of high-performance electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption (EMA) materials is an effective strategy to deal with ever-increasing EM pollution. In this work, a series of manganese oxides/porous carbon (Mn x O y @C) hybrid composites are obtained by a two-step process. It is revealed that different manganese oxides play various influence on the dielectric properties of absorbers. Owing to the moderate complex permittivity of MnO@C hybrid composites, the optimal reflection loss could reach as high as -76.0 dB at the matching thickness of 2.0 mm with 5.2 GHz of effective absorption bandwidth at thickness of 2.1 mm. We demonstrated that the addition of porous carbon is vital for enhancing EMA performance of composites, which not only coordinates impedance matching allowing more EM waves enter the absorber, but also provides the path for electron movement, thus profiting conductive loss. Besides, different heterogeneous interfaces including porous carbon, manganese oxide and so on, are conducive to contribution of interface polarization. The most noteworthy is ingenious design of composite materials and systematic research of EM energy attenuation mechanism in this work will provide the possibility to realize high-performance EMA.

Rational engineering of nanostructured anode materials is important to develop lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this study, hierarchical composites of fluoridated carbonaceous GeO2 (F-GeO2@C) with rich oxygen vacancies were prepared by a simple annealing method. It is found that F– ions not only exist in the carbon matrix but also replace O2– of metallic oxides. The abundant introduced oxygen vacancies can provide more active sites and contribute to better electronic conductivity. Moreover, density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm that F-doping greatly changes the electronic structure of the GeO2 composite, exhibiting interesting metallic behavior. Consequently, the F-GeO2@C anode shows an enhanced initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) value of 71.6% and delivers excellent rate capability, much higher than most reported GeO2-based anodes. The enhancement of the electrochemical performance for F-GeO2@C is attributed to the hierarchical nanostructure and F-doping by increased reaction kinetics, reversibility, and cycling stability. Thus, such rational fabrication of the composite can motivate other high-performance germanium-based materials in LIBs.

The precise regulation of the nano-catalyst structure is a big challenge that limits the application of photocatalytic technology in CO 2 reduction. Herein, to improve the utilization of sunlight, the separation and transfer efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, and the surface catalytic reaction process, CuInS 2 /C/TiO 2 (CIS/C/T) hierarchical tandem heterostructure have been rationally designed. Multiple in-situ characterizations and DFT simulations show that CQDs not only act as a co-catalyst, but also act as a bridge between TiO 2 (T) and CuInS 2 (CIS), which further attribute to the efficient separation and enrichment of photogenerated electron-hole pairs while effectively avoiding the recombination. In consideration of the excellent broad-spectrum absorption, the CO 2 -to-CO photoreduction performance of the optimal CIS/C/T reaches up to 7.73 μmol g -1 h −1 , about 3.16 times enhancement of C/T. Combined with in-situ DRIFTs, the intrinsic structure–activity relationship is pointed out, and extended to other similar TiO 2 -based catalytic systems (In 2 S 3 /C/TiO 2 ). This work will provide a new universal strategy for the design and synthesis of high-performance nano-photocatalysts.

Porous Si/Cu 6 Sn 5 /C composite containing native oxides was prepared via solid-state mechanical milling and wet chemical etching. This composite was used as anode material for Li-ion batteries. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, 119 Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy show that the composite has a pitaya-like morphology based on porous Si and embedded Cu 6 Sn 5 non-porous microparticles with surface native oxides. Both Si and Cu 6 Sn 5 are electrochemically active, and the activation process during the first charge–discharge improves the nanostructuration of the composite that helps buffer the volume variations of the Li-Si and Li-Sn alloying reactions. The porous composite delivers a reversible and stable capacity of 900 mAh g −1 at a galvanostatic current density of 422 mA g −1 with a retention of 90% for 100 cycles, which is higher than porous Si (53%). The stability during cycling is explained by buffering effect, enhanced electrode conductivity, and stable SEI due to the presence of native oxides and the use of FEC-containing electrolyte.

Adding lead-carbon composite materials to the negative plate of lead-acid batteries can effectively improve the electrochemical performance of the battery . In this paper, a novel quasi-solid method is used to in-situ synthesize the nano-Pb/C composite as additives in the negative active material of lead-acid cells, which can greatly increase the utilization rate of negative active material and the initial discharge capacity of the lead-acid cell. Compared with the N C material, the nano-Pb/C composite effectively inhibits the hydrogen evolution reaction . In addition, since the nano-Pb/C composite and the negative active material in the negative plate form a porous framework, the diffusion of the electrolyte and the dissolution of PbSO 4 are accelerated. The cell containing 1 wt.% nano-Pb/C composite has the best cycle performance (18,154 cycles) under high-rate partial-state-of-charge condition. All in all, the nano-Pb/C composite prepared via a new quasi-solid method has the advantages of improving the initial capacity and lifespan of lead-acid batteries, and it is a promising candidate material for lead-acid battery additives.

Manufacturing heteroatom-doped porous C with controllable N species is an important issue for supercapacitors. Herein, we report a low-cost and simplified strategy for synthesizing B,N-codoped porous C (BNPC) by a freeze-drying chitosan–boric acid aerogel beads and subsequent carbonization treatment. The BNPC samples were studied using various characterization technologies. The introduction of boric acid to chitosan successfully induced the formation of B,N-codoped C with a well-developed 3D interconnected porous structure. The B doping had a significant impact on the distribution of N species in the samples. Moreover, the good wettability of the sample resulting from B doping is favorable for electrolyte diffusion and ion transport. As a consequence, the optimal BNPC sample showed an excellent specific capacitance of 240 F g–1 at 0.5 A g–1 and an outstanding capacitance retention of 95.1% after 10000 cycles at 5 A g–1. An assembled symmetrical supercapacitor displayed an energy density of 11.4 Wh kg–1 at a power density of 250 W kg–1. The proposed work provides a simple and effective method to obtain B,N-codoped C-based materials with high electrochemical performance.

Vitamin C (VC)-loaded oleogel (VCOG) with corn oil and monoglyceride stearate was used to replace lipid phase of margarine completely. The oxidative stability of VCOG was evaluated at 60±1°C in a lightproof oven for 18 days and the result showed that VCOG peroxide (> 6 days) and p-anisidine value (> 4 days) was significantly lower than that of bulk oil and VC-free oleogel (p < 0.05). Then, the margarine containing 79.70% VCOG (VCOGM) was in comparison with four commercial butter in sensory and physical characteristic. Results showed that firmness, solid fat content and trans fatty acid of VCOGM were in the lowest values while unsaturated fatty acid and adhesiveness of VCOGM was in the highest values. Furthermore, VCOGM presented the similar springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, score appearance, texture, taste and overall impression to some/all commercial butters selected in this research (p > 0.05). These results implied that VC-loaded oleogel was an excellent alternative of lipid phase in margarine which confirmed by 55% “definitely buy” and 25% “try once-then decide”.

High-efficiency, porous and renewable magnetic microwave absorbing (MA) materials have been enthusiastically pursued due to their suitable impedance matching, light weight, strong multiple scattering and the synergy effect of dielectric and magnetic loss. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) Co@C/ANF aerogel, composed of magnetic MOF derivatives embedded in biomass aramid nanofiber (ANF), was prepared for the first time through a directional-freezing method followed by an annealing process. To evaluate their MA attenuation performance, the electromagnetic parameters of Co@C/ANF composites with different component ratios were measured at 2–18 GHz. Profiting from the preserved porous structure of MOF derivatives, the construction of multiple heterogeneous interfaces and suitable electromagnetic parameters, Co@C/ANF 2 : 1 exhibited a good MA performance of RLmin = −64.3 dB (indicating more than 99.99996% microwaves were absorbed) and EABmax = 6.8 GHz. Considering the admirable overall performance, the Co@C/ANF aerogel is deemed to be a promising candidate for the next-generation of lightweight, reproducible, and high-performance MA materials.
