This study developed a novel PbS-rGO composite counter electrode to enhance the performance of quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs). The composite was synthesized via a hydrothermal method by anchoring PbS nanocubes onto reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets. The effect of mass ratios of rGO to PbS (0.0, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.6) to a power conversion efficiency (PCE) was investigated. The optimized rGO-PbS (0.03) composite achieved a power conversion efficiency of 5.358%, Voc of 0.540 V, Jsc of 21.157 mA/cm², and FF of 0.516. The rGO framework provides an interconnected conductive network that facilitates efficient charge transport, reduces the charge transfer resistance, and improves the overall conductivity. Electrochemical analyses confirmed the superior electrocatalytic activity of the composite in reducing the Sn²⁻/S²⁻ redox couple. The unique band alignment between rGO and PbS optimized the electron transfer pathways. The hierarchical structure increased the surface area and light absorption, enabling a more effective charge transfer at the electrode-electrolyte interface.

The hydrogenation of vanillin stands as a pivotal platform reaction within biomass conversion processes, presenting a significant challenge in achieving controlled synthesis of different products. Here, we proffer different methodology for elaborately designing the electronic structure of Pt via regulating the strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) between Pt and Mo 2 TiC 2 , thereby facilitating the targeted synthesis of vanillyl alcohol (VA) and 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol (MMP) from vanillin. Appropriate H 2 reduction can enhance the SMSI between Pt and Mo 2 TiC 2 , promoting the electron transfer from Mo 2 TiC 2 to Pt, resulting in 200-Pt/Mo 2 TiC 2 with 68.1 of Pt 2+ . However, the SR-Pt/Mo 2 TiC 2 obtained through the galvanic replacement strategy possesses 64.7 % of Pt 4+ , which is attributed to the weaker spontaneous SMSI between Pt and Mo 2 TiC 2 . XPS adsorption experiments highlight the pivotal role of Pt 2+ in facilitating the desorption of VA, resulting in the 200-Pt/Mo 2 TiC 2 catalyst demonstrating exceptional selectivity towards VA (96 %). Meanwhile, SR-Pt/Mo 2 TiC 2 showcases a predilection for the direct hydrogenation and deoxygenation of vanillin into MMP. This research not only marks the application of the MXene system to biomass conversion but also illuminates the relationship between the electronic structure of Pt and its selectivity towards VA and MMP.

Utilizing hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and acid medium for oxidation-reduction reaction to facilitate the efficient biorefining of lignocellulose is the ultimate goal of oxidative pretreatment . Here, the p-toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH) was employed in the H 2 O 2 pretreatment of poplar, which has achieved excellent depolymerizing effect of lignin and xylan . The results displayed that 99.9% xylan and 68.4% lignin were dramatically removed when 2% H 2 O 2 and 40 g/L TsOH were introduced to the pretreatment (HTP) at 160 °C. After enzymatic hydrolysis and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation, the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency and ethanol yield of poplar were advanced by 59.0% and 59.4%, respectively. The structural characterization indicated that the incremental efficiency was attributed to the advantageous accessibility, surface area , crystallinity, and crystal size of poplar by HTP’s augmentative removal of non-cellulosic components. This work expanded the application of acidic H 2 O 2 pretreatment and suggested that HTP was a synergistic and feasible way in biorefinery.

Photocatalytic technology holds significant promise for sustainable development and environmental protection due to its ability to utilize renewable energy sources and degrade pollutants efficiently. In this study, BiOI nanosheets (NSs) were synthesized using a simple water bath method with varying amounts of mannitol and reaction temperatures to investigate their structural, morphological, photoelectronic, and photocatalytic properties. Notably, the introduction of mannitol played a critical role in inducing a transition in BiOI from an n-type to a p-type semiconductor, as evidenced by Mott–Schottky (M-S) and band structure analyses. This transformation enhanced the density of holes (h + ) as primary charge carriers and resulted in the most negative conduction band (CB) position (−0.822 V vs. NHE), which facilitated the generation of superoxide radicals (·O 2− ) and enhanced photocatalytic activity. Among the samples, the BiOI-0.25-60 NSs (synthesized with 0.25 g of mannitol at 60 °C) exhibited the highest performance, characterized by the largest specific surface area (24.46 m 2 /g), optimal band gap energy (2.28 eV), and efficient photogenerated charge separation. Photocatalytic experiments demonstrated that BiOI-0.25-60 NSs achieved superior methylene blue (MB) degradation efficiency of 96.5% under simulated sunlight, 1.14 times higher than BiOI-0-70 NSs. Additionally, BiOI-0.25-60 NSs effectively degraded tetracycline (TC), 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-D), and rhodamine B (Rh B). Key factors such as photocatalyst concentration, MB concentration, and solution pH were analyzed, and the BiOI-0.25-60 NSs demonstrated excellent recyclability, retaining over 94.3% of their activity after three cycles. Scavenger tests further identified ·O 2− and h + as the dominant active species driving the photocatalytic process. In this study, the pivotal role of mannitol in modulating the semiconductor characteristics of BiOI nanomaterials is underscored, particularly in promoting the n-type to p-type transition and enhancing photocatalytic efficiency. These findings provide a valuable strategy for designing high-performance p-type photocatalysts for environmental remediation applications.

Hydrogen energy as a new type of clean energy has been widely used. Electrolysis is a highly effective method of producing hydrogen from water. Catalysts with low development costs and high efficiency are the focus of current research. A novel Ni–W–P/Mo catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was synthesized by electrodeposition based on a molybdenum mesh. The experimental results show that when the current density is 10 mA/cm2, the best overpotential of Ni–W–P/Mo in alkaline medium is 75 mV. Not only that, the Tafel slope (77 mV/dec) also proves its excellent dynamic performance. In addition, the 60 h stability test at a current density of 10 mA/cm2 indicates an excellent long-term stability performance. Compared with the catalysts reported in recent years, the HER performance of Ni–W–P/Mo is much better than that of most nonprecious metal catalysts. The uniform and regular molybdenum network provides a large area of support for the catalyst, which is conducive to the synthesis and reaction of the catalyst. By doping W, the electronic structure of the catalyst is regulated, and the water decomposition is promoted. The stability of the morphology is also an important factor in improving the activity of the catalyst. The amorphous catalyst synthesized by the electrodeposition method in this work provides a new idea for the research of catalytic materials for hydrogen production by electrolysis of water and has important significance for promoting the development of a hydrogen energy economy.

Non-metallic heteroatom-doped carbon materials are promising catalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP), but their controlled synthesis remains challenging. Herein, a novel three-dimensional N, P co-doped carbon nanosheet (NPC-NS-T) catalyst is prepared, which shows an impressive catalytic performance in the ODHP reaction with high propane conversion (20.0%) and high selectivity for propene (62.1%) and olefins (64.5%) at 500 °C along with good long-time stability. Comprehensive experimental characterizations revealed that incorporation of appropriate P can not only help to form more CO species on the surface of NPC-NS-T but also inhibit the consumption of CO species under ODHP conditions, thereby remarkably improving the catalytic performance. This work could pave the way for developing efficient biomass-derived carbon catalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation reactions of propane.

In this work, P and Mo dual-doped CoNiS (PMo-CoNiS) nanosheet arrays were successfully constructed through a common solvothermal treatment. The precise doping of P and Mo species into the CoNiS can regulate the microstructures and meanwhile endow with PMo-CoNiS abundant amorphous/crystalline heterointerfaces, which can adjust the electronic structure, thus enhancing the intrinsic activity of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). As a result, ultra-low overpotentials of merely 156 and 58 mV are required to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm −2 for OER and HER, respectively, and the electrocatalysts PMo-CoNiS also exhibit low Tafel slopes and maintain robust stability for 48 h in alkaline media at a high current density of 50 mA cm −2 . In addition, in an assembled electrolyte cell for overall water splitting, a voltage as low as 1.48 V is sufficient to yield a current density of 10 mA cm −2 . Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further confirmed that the enhanced OER and HER result from the optimized OH* and H* adsorption energy of PMo-CoNiS due to P, Mo dual doping and generated interfacial effect. This work may offer an avenue for designing low-cost bifunctional catalysts with superior catalytic activity and provide a new application strategy for broader applications in various electrocatalytic fields.

CsPbBr 3 perovskite has become a star material for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) due to its excellent optoelectronic properties, dielectric properties and stability in the atmosphere. However, regulating its optoelectronic and dielectric properties through charge-directed transport and separation within TENGs has not been comprehensively explored. Herein, p-n junction is constructed to form built-in potential ( E built-in ) for charge-directed transport by introducing a semiconductor layer beneath the perovskite film in perovskite-TENGs, where the effect of E built-in ’s direction and intensity on output performance is systematically investigated. Introducing the p-type semiconductor NiO x creates a reversed E built-in , which enhances the surface triboelectric charge density of the perovskite and achieves improved triboelectric output performance of 205 V and 43 μA cm −2 for the PVDF-CsPbBr 3 TENG. Conversely, the n-type semiconductor SnO 2 establishes a parallel E built-in , greatly facilitating the extraction and separation of photogenerated carriers, leading to a high current density of 1.4 mA cm −2 under illumination based on the triboelectric-photoelectric coupling effect. Moreover, the CsPbBr 3 -TENGs demonstrate superior stability and a broad linear response range and fast photoresponsivity, proving their potential for practical applications in various self-powered optoelectronic detection devices.

Reactive polyurethane (RPU) films in a solvent-free medium exhibit exceptional stability and mechanical properties due to their highly cross-linked structure. Achieving inherent fire resistance, waterproofing, and high mechanical performance in RPUs is challenging. Here, we prepared an intrinsic flame retardant, waterproof, and flexible RPU using a P/Si synergistic system with hydroxylated ammonium polyphosphate aAPP/Si-RPU via in-situ polyaddition of NCO-double capped prepolymer and polyol components, including polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and aAPP. The aAPP was synthesized through cation exchange between diethylene glycol amine (DGA) and ammonium polyphosphate (APP). Compared to pure RPU, aAPP/Si 15% -RPU showed a 60.3 % reduction in peak heat release rate (pk-HRR) and a 14.1 % reduction in total heat release (THR), with the limiting oxygen index (LOI) increasing from 18.2 % to 27.8 %. Mechanical properties and hydrophobicity improved, with tensile strength at 31.9 ± 1.9 MPa, elongation at break at 522.7 ± 20.3 %, and a water contact angle of 127.1°. The balance of properties was due to ordered microphase separation from the organic–inorganic hybrid structure of aAPP and PDMS, where aAPP particles enhanced microstructure and crosslinked interactions, and the Si-O bond in PDMS provided flexibility and water resistance. This study presents a strategy to resolve the conflict between rigidity and toughness, offering design ideas for intrinsic flame retardant polyurethane.

The P-CDs exhibited sensitive response to Fe 3+ in a broad linear range from 0.001 µM to 0.01 µM with a limit of detection of 4.43 × 10 −3 µM. In this research, P-CDs were compounded based on Hedyotis Diffusa Willd by using a hydrothermal method of which the morphology, chemical composition, and optical properties were characterized. The P-doped CDs exhibited effective antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus . Strong electrostatic interactions between negatively charged bacteria and positively charged P-CDs, and the production of H 2 O 2 by P-CDs were thought to be responsible for bacterial death. Moreover, the P-CDs showed a remarkable fluorescent property with an excellent scope for detecting metal ion. The P-CDs exhibited sensitive response to Fe 3+ in a broad linear range from 0.001 µM to 0.01 µM with a limit of detection of 4.43 × 10 −3 µM.

In recent years, great progress has been made on nanozymes with enzyme-like properties. Here, bimetallic Fe and Ni nanoclusters were anchored on the nanosheets of nitrogen-rich layered graphitic carbon nitride by one-step pyrolysis at high temperature (Fe/Ni-CN). The loading content of Fe and Ni on Fe/Ni-CN is as high as 8.0%, and the Fe/Ni-CN has a high specific surface area of 121.86 m²/g. The Fe/Ni-CN can effectively oxidize 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2, and exhibits efficient peroxidase-like activity, leading to a 17.2-fold increase compared to pure graphitic carbon nitride (CN). Similar to the natural horseradish peroxidase (HRP), the Fe/Ni-CN nanozyme follows the catalytic kinetic.The Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) value of Fe/Ni-CN nanozyme for TMB is about 8.3-fold lower than that of HRP, which means that Fe/Ni-CN nanozyme has better affinity for TMB. In addition, the catalytic mechanism was investigated by combination of free radical quenching experiments and density-functional theory calculations (DFT). The results show that the high peroxidase-like activity is due to the easy adsorption of H2O2 after bimetal loading, which is conducive to the production of hydroxyl radical. Based on the extraordinary peroxidase-like activity, the colorimetric detection of p-phenylenediamine (PPD) was constructed with a wide linear range of 0.2 - 30 μM and a low detection limit of 0.02 μM. The sensor system has been successfully applied to the detection of residual PPD in real dyed hair samples. The results show that the colorimetric method is sensitive, highly selective and accurate. This study provides a new idea for the efficient enhancement of nanozyme activity and effective detection of PPD by bimetallic synergistic strategy.

N-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine-quinone (6PPD-Q) has been identified as the cause of the “urban runoff mortality syndrome.” Thus, the ecological risks of substituted p-phenylenediamines (PPDs) and their quinone derivatives (PPD-Qs) in water have gained global attention. However, large-scale observation of their pollution characteristics in surface water is still lacking. Herein, a nationwide investigation revealed the pervasive occurrence of PPDs and PPD-Qs in riverine waters across China, with the mean concentration of ∑5PPD-Qs being 4.9 times higher than their parent ∑5PPDs. Notably, the 6PPD-Q concentrations at eight sampling sites exceeded the median lethal concentration for coho salmon. National annual riverine fluxes were estimated at 113.1 and 276.2 tonnes/year for PPDs and PPD-Qs, respectively, with the Yangtze River contributing more than one-third of the total fluxes. The transformation of PPDs to PPD-Qs was dependent on atmospheric hydroxylation rates and the half-lives of PPDs. A combined multimedia exposure assessment revealed that water exposure accounted for 82.5% of human exposure to PPDs and PPD-Qs, surpassing the contributions from dust and air exposure. This study provides a comprehensive spatial picture of PPDs and PPD-Qs in China. The national atlas highlights their potential ecological risks and implies that targeted actions should be taken to mitigate potential exposure to PPDs and PPD-Qs.
