A novel tri-isopropanolamine functionalized graphene oxide (TI-GO) adsorbent was synthesized by one-step reaction at 358K. Then the prepared TI-GO was characterized by SEM-EDS, FTIR, Raman spectra, TG, BET and XPS. The characterization results indicated the TI-GO has been synthesized successfully and it interact with Pb(II) ions through its nitrogen and oxygen-containing functional groups. Batch adsorption experiments were applied to evaluate the optimized conditions of adsorption. The results indicated that the TI-GO can reach equilibrium adsorption in 30 min and get maximum adsorption capacity at 293 K, pH 5.0. Besides, the adsorption kinetic and adsorption isotherm research indicated that the adsorption of TI-GO fit pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic and Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. In addition, the maximum adsorption capacity evaluated by Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation is 1478 mg/g.

Porous Al doped ZnO (AZO) nanosheets have been prepared as an efficient multifunctional water treatment material. Their fundamental properties were characterized by various spectroscopic testing methods. The AZO nanosheets displayed very rapid adsorption rate and high adsorption capacity for methyl orange (MO) dye. The kinetics and equilibrium of adsorption process were found to follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models, respectively. Furthermore, the AZO nanosheets exhibited superior photodecolorizative activity compared with the commercial P25 TiO2 nanoparticles. It was found that Al doping increased the zeta potential of AZO nanosheets and then significantly enhanced the adsorption capacity for MO dye and, at the same time, retarded the recombination of photoexcited electron–hole pairs, and prolonged the lifetime of the photo-generated carriers, and then improved the semiconductor photocatalytic activity. In addition, the visible-light-driven dye photosensitized degradation was also an important reason for enhanced photodecolorizative activity. Therefore, AZO nanosheets are a potential multifunctional water treatment material combining highly efficient adsorption and photocatalytic degradation.

Large-scale hydrogen production through water splitting using photocatalysts with solar energy can potentially produce clean fuel from renewable resources. In this work, photocatalytic evolution of H2 with a high efficiency was achieved using graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets decorated with CdS sensitized TaON core–shell composites (GO–CdS@TaON). The CdS@TaON core–shell nanocomposites were prepared by an ion-exchange route with assistance from a hydrothermal process on GO as the support. The TaON core–shell composites containing 1 wt% CdS nanocrystals showed a high rate of H2-production at 306 μmol h−1 with an apparent quantum efficiency (QE) of 15% under 420 nm monochromatic light. The rate of hydrogen formation was 68 times faster in comparison with the rate observed on pure TaON. The rate was further increased to 633 μmol h−1 with a high quantum efficiency of 31% when the GO–CdS@TaON hybrid composite was coupled with 1 wt% of graphene oxide and 0.4 wt% of Pt (about 141 times higher than that of the pristine TaON). This high photocatalytic H2-production activity is ascribed firstly to the presence of CdS nanocrystals that alter the energy levels of the conduction and valence bands in the coupled semiconductor system; secondly to the involvement of graphene oxide that serves as an electron collector and transporter to efficiently lengthen the lifetime of the photogenerated charge carriers from CdS@TaON composites. This investigation can open up new possibilities for the development of highly efficient TaON-based photocatalysts that utilize visible light as an energy source.

Cyclohexanol is an excellent starting material for fuel production, but direct selective hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanol under mild conditions is a challenge. Herein we report a catalyst made of Ni nanoparticles supported on high-surface silica, which is highly active for selective formation of cyclohexanol under 1.0 Mpa pressure of hydrogen in aqueous medium without additives. Conversion of 100 mol% and selectivity up to 100% are achieved within 4 h and 1.0 MPa H 2 . Some factors such as the type of the source of silica, the loading of Ni, the reaction temperature and time, the H 2 pressure play important roles in controlling the selective hydrogenation. The generality of the 10%Ni/SiO 2 -1 catalyst for this reaction is demonstrated by selective hydrogenation of other hydroxylated aromatic compounds as well.

High-density (∼99.34%), fine-grained (∼685 nm) ZnO ceramic was successfully fabricated by the high-pressure cold sintering. The influences of solvent (liquid phase) fraction and the applied pressure on densification in this process have been carefully studied. The excess solvent can result in grain refinement, but impedes the densification of ceramic. Significantly, the role of pressure is unlike that in the traditional pressure-assisted sintering, which can improve the densification and inhibit grain growth. There is a critical pressure (∼1 GPa) that can be associated with the transition of recrystallization from heterogeneous nucleation to homogeneous nucleation . When the pressure is lower than this critical value, the applied pressure can improve densification, but cannot inhibit grain growth. Above the critical value, the densification is dramatically weakened and many small crystals in the interstitial space between grains can be found.

Li-ion microbatteries find wide applications in microdevices. It is important to develop electrode materials with high areal capacity, excellent rate capability and superior safety for microbatteries. TiO2 nanowire arrays satisfy the requirements of high areal capacity, short transport lengths and superior safety for microbatteries, but their areal/volumetric capacity is hindered by the insufficient surface area. TiO2 nanotrees can effectively eliminate these disadvantages of TiO2 nanowires; however, the electrochemical performances of TiO2 nanotrees for Li-ion microbatteries remain unexplored. It is highly desired yet challenging to construct two-dimensional TiO2 nanobranches with an ultrathin thickness and large length on nanoarrays, to maximize the surface area and structural hierarchy of electrodes. Herein, we developed a novel synthetic strategy to fabricate TiO2 nanotrees by depositing anatase/TiO2(B) mixed phase ultrathin nanobelts onto single-crystalline anatase nanowire arrays. The nanobelt branches were several nanometers in thickness and 200–260 nm in length. The growth process and the electrochemical mechanism were investigated. The unique nanoarchitecture and optimal phase structure endow the electrode with high areal capacity and rate capability, which is the best performance for TiO2 nanowire arrays ever documented. The 2nd discharge capacity of the TiO2 nanotrees at 0.1 mA cm−2 is ca. 267 μA h cm−2, corresponding to a volumetric capacity of 330 mA h cm−3. The TiO2 nanotrees have an areal capacity of 205, 141, 97 and 69 μA h cm−2 at a current density of 0.5, 2.0, 5.0 and 10.0 mA cm−2, respectively. The capacity can remain stable for 400 charge–discharge cycles at 1.0 mA cm−2. The present strategy may give hints to elegant electrode designs for energy applications.

Herein, we present a strategy for supporting bromine as a catalyst for the oxidation of sulfides. In this strategy, branched poly(ethylene imine) was first decorated by magnetic oxide and then used to support liquid bromine to obtain solid polymeric bromine (M@PEI@Br) nanoparticles. Compared with free bromine, the stability of the M@PEI@Br nanoparticles improved obviously. The oxidation of thioanisole to methyl phenyl sulfoxide was chosen as a reaction model to evaluate the catalytic activity of the M@PEI@Br nanoparticles. All of the obtained results verify that the M@PEI@Br nanoparticles exhibited excellent catalytic efficiency and could accelerate the oxidation process under solvent-free conditions at room temperature; this highlighted the potential of decorated polymers to support active and unstable small-molecule organic catalysts. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Rice husk , as an abundant agricultural waste and renewable biomass, is adopted to produce porous silica which is used as a potential carbon-free adsorbent for mercury emission control of coal-fired power plants. The rice husk derived porous silica (RHS) exhibits a good Hg 0 adsorption capability with Hg 0 removal efficiency above 80% in the temperature range of 60–140 °C, which is plausibly due to the big specific surface area and mesoporous structure. The mercury removal performance of RHS can be evidently reinforced by KBr modification. The optimal KBr loading value and reaction temperature are 2 wt% and 140 °C, respectively. Acidic gas components, such as NO and SO 2 , both show slight inhibitive effects on Hg 0 adsorption process probably owing to the competitive adsorption or the elimination of adsorption sites.

TaWO 6 nanosheet was assembled into multilayer films by a layer-by-layer deposition technology with polyethylenimine as the linker. UV–vis absorption spectra in the assembly process showed a linear enhancement of absorbance at 238 nm per deposition cycle, indicating the successful formation of multilayer composite films, which were converted into polymer-free films by the heat treatment at 400 °C for 2 h. The bandgap energy and flatband potential of TaWO 6 nanosheet were estimated to be 3.48 eV and −0.79 V vs. Ag/AgCl, respectively. The photoelectrocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B with the TaWO 6 nanosheet electrodes demonstrated that both the oxygen anionic radicals and the dye cationic radical are essential to mineralize the dye under visible-light-driven photocatalytic conditions. It is the first time to investigate the mechanism of photoelectrocatalysis of TaWO 6 nanosheet electrode.

Nanoscaled SnO 2 with different morphologies has been synthesized via a simple hydrothermal process at 180 °C using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS), cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) or tetrapropyl ammonium bromide (TPAB) as surfactant . All the prepared SnO 2 are of a tetragonal crystal structure. Nanocubes, nanorods , nanosheets , nanobelts and nanoparticles were prepared when changing the type and dosage of organic surfactants. It is shown that anionic surfactant (SDS) and cationic surfactant (CTAB or TPAB) at their suitable addition amounts can largely influence the morphologies of SnO 2 nanocrystals . The effect is significantly dependent on the solvent types: water or ethanol. The non-ionic surfactant (PVP) can also change the morphologies like SDS but the impacts are less obvious. The effect of surfactants on the shape and size of SnO 2 nanoparticles was discussed in detail. The particle growth mechanism is described based on the electrostatic interactions and Van der Waals’ forces.

The electrocaloric (EC) effect cooling technique of environmentally friendly lead-free thin film materials driven by electric fields has recently gained tremendous attention due to the urgent demand for microelectronic and integrated circuit refrigeration devices. However, the widespread use of lead-free materials in EC devices is seriously hindered due to the small electrocaloric temperature change (ΔT) within a narrow operation temperature span (T span ) near room temperature. Here, lead-free Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15 Zr 0.1 Ti 0.9-x Sn x O 3 (BCZT-xSn, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.03) thin films were prepared on substrates (Pt/Ti/SiO 2 /Si) via a sol-gel route. The BCZT-0.02Sn thin film presents an excellent EC effect (ΔT = 32.74 K, ΔS = 37.18 J kg −1 K −1 ) and large EC strength (ΔT/ΔE = 0.033 K cm kV −1 , ΔS/ΔE = 0.037 J cm K −1 kg −1 kV −1 ) over a wide T span (∼26 K) under 1000 kV cm −1 near room temperature. The giant ΔT is mainly attributed to the emergence of an intermediate O phase and the formation of a multiphase (R, O and T phases) coexistence structure at room temperature, while the diffuse phase transition behavior is responsible for the wide T span . Our study provides a new idea for developing environment-friendly EC materials with an excellent room-temperature ΔT over a broad operational temperature region.

A novel mesoporous silica-deoxycholate (MS-NaDC) synergistic substrate was developed for room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) sensing and analysis. The substrate exhibited rapid and strong RTP-inducing ability toward 9-bromophenanthrene (9-BrP). The formation mechanism of MS-NaDC synergistic substrate was analyzed and demonstrated. Five MSs with pore size range of 2.73–18.58 nm were synthesized and investigated, and the MS designated as LPMS2 was selected for its rapid RTP protection and good stability in dispersions. RTP in the presence of MS-NaDC substrate also shows good thermostability. Assistant inducers, such as cyclohexane, can be used together for further RTP enhancement. Finally, 9-BrP holds a fairly wide linear concentration range of 2 nM–3 μM, and a detection limit of 0.5 nM. All the results demonstrated the feasibility and application potential of the MS-NaDC substrate in RTP.
