The formation of highly graphitic phenolic resin chars (GPFCs) during catalytic carbonization at relatively low reaction temperature (1200–1600 °C) using novel Ni-Zn-B alloy catalyst with small amount of addition (5–15%) was systematically studied. Only two kinds of graphites (turbostratic graphite and ordered graphite) can be found in GPFCs after catalytic carbonization with Ni-Zn-B and their proportions were changed with reaction conditions. When Ni-Zn-B was involved at 1200–1600 °C, the phenolic resin char was fully transformed to be graphite, and ordered graphite content increased to 28.42% at 1400 °C, which was also almost twice of ordered graphite content in the char catalyzed by pure Ni. But the order graphite content would decrease due to sintering at higher reaction temperature. The addition of Zn and B can promote nickel-based alloy catalytic action by reducing melt point and accelerating graphitization respectively. It was also found that ordered graphite content could be used as a key evaluation parameter to directly reflect the quality of GPFCs based on detailed characteristics analysis. The model between three reaction conditions (reaction temperature, retention time, catalyst content) and ordered graphite content was built with artificial neural network (ANN), and the prediction accuracy of ANN was high up to 91.48%.

Magnetic Zn/Al layered double hydroxides (M Zn/Al LDH) were prepared by co-precipitation method and then calcined at 370 °C for 2 h to obtain magnetic Zn/Al calcined layered double hydroxides (M Zn/Al CLDH) used for adsorption of humic acid (HA) from aqueous solution. The morphology and structure of M Zn/Al CLDH were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), specific surface area (SSA), thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) and vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM), respectively. The results showed that the implant of a certain amount of magnetic substrates on Zn/Al LDH didn't damage the layered structure of Zn/Al LDH. After calcination, M Zn/Al CLDH exhibited the characteristics of zinc aluminum oxides, whose specific surface area increased to 80.00m 2 /g from 49.15 m 2 /g of M Zn/Al LDH. The magnetism of M Zn/Al LDH originating from Fe 3 O 4 and γ-Fe 2 O 3 kept well under calcination at 370 °C. The influence of solution pH and competitive ions on the HA removal was investigated. M Zn/Al CLDH exhibited high HA removal efficiency which was over 97% from pH 4 to pH 8 for 30 min at M Zn/Al CLDH dosage of 0.2 g/L and HA initial concentration of 20 mg/L. The kinetic, adsorption isotherm and thermodynamic of the adsorption of HA by M Zn/Al CLDH were studied. The results indicated that the adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetics model and Langmuir isotherm model. Thermodynamic analysis suggested that the adsorption of humic acid on M Zn/Al CLDH was a spontaneous and endothermic process . The adsorption mechanism is associated with electrostatic interaction and the intercalation of some functional groups of HA during layered structure of M Zn/Al LDH recovery in water due to the memory effect . This study revealed that M Zn/Al CLDH was an effective adsorbent for HA removal in water treatment .

In this study, Ru(bpy) 3 2+ and oxalate (C 2 O 4 2− ) in Ru@Zn-MOF generated self-enhanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL). The self-enhanced ECL composite exhibited a short electron transfer distance and minimal energy loss, which ensured the high and stable luminescence efficiency of Ru@Zn-MOF. A MnO 2 @AuNPs nanocomposite was introduced into Ru@Zn-MOF via antigen–antibody interactions in the presence of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA). This significantly quenched the ECL signal due to the combined effect of the dual quenchers, MnO 2 NFs and AuNPs. A highly efficient ECL-RET immunosensor was constructed for the sensitive detection of SCCA in the linear range of 1 fg/mL to 100 ng/mL, with a limit of detection of 0.26 fg/mL (S/N = 3). This immunosensor has broad clinical applications for the quantitative detection of biomarkers.

To enhance the efficiency of photocatalytic H 2 evolution, numerous methods are employed by increasing the utilization of photogenerated charge carriers (PCCs), including catalyst design, defect regulation, and selection of suitable H + resources. Using self-assembly method, CoWO 4 /Zn x Cd 1−x S with p–n heterojunction was synthesized. Although CoWO 4 (CW) cannot produce H 2 under visible light irradiation, it can provide photogenerated electrons (e − ) to Zn 0.3 Cd 0.7 S (ZCS), and largely increase the photocatalytic activity of ZCS. The optimal CW/ZCS composite can reach 15.58 mmol·g −1 ·h −1 , which is 45.8 and 24.3 times higher than the values of the pure CdS and ZCS, respectively. The largely enhanced photocatalytic H 2 production is attributed to the Zn vacancies (V Zn ), p–n heterojunction, and p-chlorobenzyl alcohol (Cl–PhCH 2 OH) as the H + source of H 2 production. V Zn on the ZCS surface as the capture center of photogenerated holes (h + ), can regulate the carrier distribution, which results in more photogenerated e − and less generated h + . The combination of p–n heterojunction and V Zn can enhance the separation and transfer efficiency of PCCs, and effectively inhibit the recombination of charge carriers. To further improve the utilization rate of PCCs, the photocatalytic H 2 evolution is proceeded by Cl–PhCH 2 OH oxidation in N , N -dimethylformamide solution, with 4-chlorobenzaldehyde (Cl–PhCHO) generated. The separated photogenerated e − and h + both participated in the redox reaction of H + reduction and Cl–PhCH 2 OH oxidation, considering that the amount of H 2 and Cl–PhCHO products are close to 1:1. This work not only facilitates the separation and transfer of PCCs, but also provides directions for the design of efficient photocatalysts and H 2 evolution in the organic phase.

La–Sn-codoped Zn(O,S) catalysts were synthesized with different amounts (0%, 2.5%, 5%, and 10%) of Sn and a constant amount (10%) of La to improve the photocatalytic hydrogenation reaction (PHR) of azobenzene to aniline. The as-prepared catalysts were carefully characterized and tested for a hydrogenation reaction. The incorporation of Sn significantly enhanced the PHR activities since the incorporated Sn in the Zn(O,S) lattices could increase the conductivity of the catalysts to improve the charge transfer during the catalytic reaction as indicated with EIS measurement. Further measurement with a photoresponse of La–Sn-codoped Zn(O,S) catalysts also exhibited relatively higher intensities as compared to those of La-doped Zn(O,S) and Sn-doped Zn(O,S) catalysts. On the basis of the measurement results of EIS and transient photo current, the La–Sn-codoped Zn(O,S) with the best properties was further utilized for PHR to convert azobenzene to aniline. GC–MS measurement confirmed that 15 ppm azobenzene could be totally converted to aniline in only 60 min which was achieved with a catalyst that was prepared with 5%-Sn and 10%-La doping. The relatively short reaction time indicated that the as-prepared catalyst had a strong reduction capability able to cleave the strong bonding of N═N in azobenzene. The reaction kinetic of the N═N bond cleavage was elucidated based on solvation, adsorption, pinning, and photocatalytic hydrogenation processes on the catalyst surfaces.

Despite the continuous exploration and development of new antibiotics, the emergence of super-resistant bacteria has led to a gradual loss of effectiveness in some antibiotics. Developing new methods and applying antimicrobial materials can effectively reduce antibiotic usage, thereby slowing down the emergence of bacterial resistance. Herein, we present a novel micro-nano composite antimicrobial material synthesized through a one-pot method. This innovative system integrates ZnO, Cu2O, and CuCO3 onto CaCO3 carriers, demonstrating dual advantages of structural simplicity and functional synergy. The composite exhibits exceptional antimicrobial performance with minimum bactericidal concentrations of 15.625 µg/mL against Gram-negative bacteria and 7.8125 µg/mL against Gram-positive bacteria, while maintaining favorable biosafety. Mechanistic studies reveal a dual bactericidal action: (1) physical disruption of bacterial membranes through permeability alteration and structural damage, leading to critical cellular component leakage (e.g., DNA); (2) intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction triggering oxidative stress. Characterization by thermogravimetric analysis confirms its thermal stability and suitability for polymer processing. The cost-effective synthesis protocol and scalable production potential position this copper-zinc micro-nano composite as a promising candidate for advanced antimicrobial plastics engineering, addressing both efficacy and industrial feasibility requirements.

Contrary to organic solvent-induced aggregation of Au nanoclusters (AuNCs), herein, we reported aggregation induced emission enhancement (AIEE) of AuNCs in an aqueous media through confinement of AuNCs by in situ formed Zn-MOF for detecting Zn 2+ . Glutathione capped AuNCs (GSH-AuNCs) was synthesized through reduction of Au 3+ by glutathione. Zn 2+ could significantly enhance the fluorescence of GSH-AuNCs upon addition of 2-methylimidazole, which was attributed to the formation of Zn-MOF. XRD and TEM were used to characterize the in situ formed Zn-MOF. Zn 2+ induced aggregation was demonstrated by dynamic light scattering and TEM. The quantum yields (QYs) of AuNCs after aggregation induced by in situ formed Zn-MOF attained to 36.6%, which was nearly 9 times that of the sole AuNCs. On this basis, a fluorogenic sensor was reported for Zn 2+ detection with a linear range from 12.3 nM to 24.6 μM and a detection limit of 6 nM (S/N = 3). The proposed sensor was successfully applied to assay the content of zinc in human serum, milk, water, and zinc sulfate syrup oral solution samples. The novel strategy proposed in this work may open a new window of interest in an unconventional application of gold nanoclusters/MOF nanoscale platform for metal ion detection and nutritional assessment of food.

Wurtzite solid solutions between GaN and ZnO highlight an intriguing paradigm for water splitting into hydrogen and oxygen using solar energy. However, large composition discrepancy often occurs inside the compound owing to the volatile nature of Zn, thereby prescribing rigorous terms on synthetic conditions. Here we demonstrate the merits of constituting quinary Zn-Ga-Ge-N-O solid solutions by introducing Ge into the wurtzite framework. The presence of Ge not only mitigates the vaporization of Zn but also strongly promotes particle crystallization. Synthetic details for these quinary compounds were systematically explored and their photocatalytic properties were thoroughly investigated. Proper starting molar ratios of Zn/Ga/Ge are of primary importance for single phase formation, high particle crystallinity and good photocatalytic performance. Efficient photocatalytic hydrogen and oxygen production from water were achieved for these quinary solid solutions which is strongly correlated with Ge content in the structure. Apparent quantum efficiency for optimized sample approaches 1.01% for hydrogen production and 1.14% for oxygen production. Theoretical calculation reveals the critical role of Zn for the band gap reduction in these solid solutions and their superior photocatalytic acitivity can be understood by the preservation of Zn in the structure as well as a good crystallinity after introducing Ge.

Zn-doped In 2 O 3 starfish-like dendritic structures (IZ x, x =0, 1, 3, 5) were successfully synthesized by a facile co-precipitation method and applied for triethylamine (TEA) sensing. The influence of Zn addition on the phase structure, microstructure, chemical composition and surface state of IZ x sensor was characterized by XRD, Raman, UV-vis, SEM, TEM, XPS and BET analyses. TEA-sensing performance was measured by gas-sensing test system at 40% humidity. Results show that the typical IZ3 sensor has a high response of 156.2 and short response/recovery times of 6 s/165 s after exposure to 5 ppm TEA at optimal temperature of 140 ºC. It also exhibits a low detection limit of 0.1 ppm, excellent selectivity to TEA, and long-term stability. The excellent TEA-sensing ability of IZ x -based sensors may be attributed to their unique morphology with large specific surface area, suitable internal defects and band gap induced by Zn-doping. Therefore, Zn-doped In 2 O 3 sensors have potential applications in actual TEA-detection.

Three new multi-dimensional coordination polymers, namely, [Cd(SIP)(HBPP)(BPP) 0.5 (H 2 O)·H 2 O] n ( 1 ), [Zn(L)(BIB) 0.5 ] n ( 2 ), and {[Cd 2 (L) 2 (BIB) 2 ](H 2 O) 7 } n ( 3 ) (H 3 SIP = 5-sulfo-1,3-benzenedicarboxylate, BPP = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane, H 2 L = 4-oxyacetate-benzoic acid, and BIB = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)-butane), were hydrothermally synthesized by self-assembly of the flexible N-donor ligand and the polycarboxylate ligands. Single crystal X-ray analyses reveal that complexes 1 – 3 possess different structural features. The Cd(II) atom in complex 1 is seven-coordinated by two bidentate chelating carboxylate groups and two nitrogen atoms as well as one water molecule. The adjacent Cd(II) atoms are bridged by two carboxylate groups to form 1D chains running along different directions, which are connected by BPP ligands to generate 2D network. The resulting 2D networks are further linked by hydrogen-bond interactions, affording a 3D supramolecular architecture. In complex 2 , the [Zn 2 (COO) 4 ] units are bridged by L 2− ligands to generate 1D double chain structure and then linked by BIB ligands to give 2D grid framework. In complex 3 , the [Cd(L 2 )] n and [Cd(BIB)] n helixes are alternately arranged, leading to the formation of a 2D bilayer structure.

Photocatalytic selective oxidation represents a sustainable approach for valuable chemical transformations, yet achieving high yield and selectivity of products remains a significant challenge. In this work, we demonstrate that electronic structure modulation of CsCuCl 3 halide perovskites enables highly selective photocatalytic oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde (BD). By strategically doping Zn into CsCuCl 3 , we achieved control over the electronic modulation of catalytic sites, leading to a remarkable BD yield of 4.08 mmol g −1 h −1 with 85.4 % selectivity under visible light irradiation. Mechanistic investigations revealed that Zn doping creates an optimal electronic structure, which simultaneously facilitates O 2 activation to form superoxide radicals and promotes selective C–H bond activation of toluene. Density functional theory calculations showed that Zn doping induces charge redistribution at Cu and Cl sites, optimizing surface energetics for both O 2 and toluene adsorption while lowering kinetic barriers for the rate-determining steps. The enhanced charge carrier separation efficiency, confirmed by spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses, further contributes to the superior catalytic performance. This work establishes electronic structure engineering as a powerful strategy for developing high-performance single-component photocatalysts and provides new insights into the selective photocatalytic oxidation reactions.

In this study, Zn–W–Bi–O catalysts with a sandwich structure were prepared by mixing zinc tungstate and bismuth nitrate to form bismuth tungstate at the interface. The catalyst was composed of bismuth nitrate as the upper layer, zinc tungstate as the lower layer, and phase interface (bismuth tungstate) as the core. The generation of phase interfaces provides a new reaction mechanism for catalytic processes. Based on the different intermediate state changes in the reaction process, the Zn–W–Bi–O catalysis system can be divided into H-S Mechanism, B-R Mechanism, and P-G Mechanism. These reaction mechanisms will simultaneously react with H 2 O 2 to generate various transition states, which will cooperatively oxidize sulfur atoms to remove them. The structural characteristics and stability of Zn–W–Bi–O catalysts were determined. There are strong stability and catalytic efficiency for Zn–W–Bi–O catalysts. The desulfurization rate can be close to 100% under optimal conditions (Catalyst of 0.02 g, ionic liquids of 0.5 mL, H 2 O 2 of 0.2 mL, model oil of 5 mL, 80 °C). Zn-W-Bi-O-2 catalysts lead to 3 times improvement in ODS activity for the upper layer and 1.25 times improvement in ODS activity for the lower layer. The catalytic reaction mechanism was obtained by the structure-activity relationship.
