The efficacy of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation is critically dependent on interfacial charge dynamics in photocatalytic systems. While covalent organic frameworks (COFs) show promise, their performance is often limited by suboptimal charge separation. Herein, we construct a metal-free S-scheme heterojunction by integrating TphDha COF with C 3 N 5 to achieve precise interfacial charge modulation. This unique architecture, stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds, establishes a built-in electric field that drives the directed migration and spatial separation of photogenerated carriers, thereby preserving their high redox potential. The optimized heterostructure exhibits significantly enhanced visible-light absorption and charge separation efficiency, which synergistically boosts the activation of PMS. Under visible light irradiation, the system achieves a superior tetracycline degradation efficiency of 96.9% and maintains over 90% efficiency after multiple cycles, demonstrating remarkable catalytic stability and reusability. The interfacial charge transfer mechanism was elucidated through in-situ characterization and theoretical calculations. Furthermore, the degradation pathways, toxicity evolution of intermediates, and the system's efficacy in continuous-flow operation, real water matrices, and complete bacterial inactivation were comprehensively investigated, underscoring its practical potential for environmental remediation. This work provides profound insights into interface engineering for designing efficient metal-free catalytic systems.

Improving the performance of antifouling coating under illumination-involved harsh environments is of prime scientific and engineering importance. However, it still remains a big challenge due to the strong photo-corrosion character of cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O) that works as the most widely-used primary antifoulant. To address this issue, a novel heterojunction of Cu 2 O@TiO 2 was constructed by in situ adsorption-hydrolysis approach. The as-designed heterojunction structure endows superior photo-stability with Cu 2 O@TiO 2 , which has been proven to proceed via S-scheme mechanism by a set of complementary characterizations including in situ XPS and EPR. As anticipated, the resulted Cu 2 O@TiO 2 coating manifests excellent stability and antifouling performance under illumination-involved mimetic service conditions such as dry-dock and waterline environments, as substantiated by the bioassays and marine field trials. A dual-target photo-synergized enhancing mechanism for the S-scheme Cu 2 O@TiO 2 could be deduced as to: (i) inhibit the accumulation of holes on Cu 2 O to exert a stabilization effect; (ii) boost the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS, including HO /O 2 − ) to enhance the antifouling property. The methodology provides a proof-of-concept design to fabricate high photo-stable Cu 2 O-based antifoulant materials, with the gain in understanding the intrinsic failure principle of coatings and the biocidal mechanism of cuprous oxide toward marine application.

Thienoacenes are a prominent class of fused-ring conjugated organic compounds and have attracted considerable attention due to their high coplanarity, good stability, high charge-carrier mobility, etc. However, most current synthetic methods toward thienoacenes require costly starting materials and reagents, as well as a lengthy synthetic procedure with low overall yields. Herein, a nonprecious copper-catalyzed system without additional ligands was developed to facilitate C–S coupling and 5-endo-dig thienannulation reaction, leading to the synthesis of a range of thienoacenes including dithieno[3,2-b:2′,3′-d]thiophenes (DTTs) and thieno[2′,3′:4,5]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene[2,3-d]thiophene (TTAs) with yields of up to 90% (for single-sided thienannulation reactions) and 65% (for double-sided thienannulation reactions). In addition, three π-extended DTTs were studied as potential thermoelectric materials, and their composites with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) exhibited high thermoelectric performance with the power factor up to 399.01 ± 16.26 μW m–1 K–2 at room temperature, which is the highest reported for thermoelectric composites comprising small-molecule thiophene derivatives and SWCNTs, signifying a step forward in the development of high-performance thermoelectric composites based on thiophene derivatives.

C-S-H gel is a complex cementitious system, and the properties present significant difference with various Ca/Si ratios. The immobilization mechanism of three heavy metals in C-S-H gel at various Ca/Si ratios was investigated in this work from the prospect of the physical adsorption and chemical immobilization. Results showed that higher Ca/Si ratios can result in an increase in silicon chain polymerization, and lower BET specific area, and C-S-H gel with various Ca/Si ratios showed the excellent immobilization for heavy metals. Pb(II) and Zn(II) can form hydroxyl complex polyhedra in C-S-H under strongly alkaline environments, and increase the silicon chain polymerization degree similar to the doping of C-S-H gel by Al. However, Cd(II) was immobilized in the C-S-H gel with the formation of a solid solution under the action of ion exchange with Ca(II), rather than in the form of hydroxyl complex polyhedral and cadmium hydroxide coprecipitates. The highest adsorption capacity of Pb(II) was realized in C-S-H gel with a Ca/Si molar ratio of 0.9, reaching 95.6006 mg/g. Pb(II) was mainly immobilized in C-S-H gel via physical and chemical adsorption, and the effect of chemical adsorption tended to be significant as the Ca/Si molar ratio increased. And the formation of Pb 8 Ca(Si 2 O 7 ) 3 can be detected in C-S-H gel with a higher Ca/Si molar ratio.

Photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production offers a greener alternative, but its efficiency is limited by high carrier recombination. Covalent organic frameworks, with their highly ordered structures and tunable properties, are promising photocatalysts. However, their application in H 2 O 2 production has been constrained by the lack of effective strategies to enhance catalytic activity. In this study, BiOCl/COF (TFPB-BPY) S-scheme heterojunctions were prepared via a simple in-situ growth method. The heterojunction exploits the nitrogen-rich architecture and charge transport of the COF, combined with the broad light absorption and internal electric field of BiOCl. This synergy enables superior visible light absorption, efficient charge separation, and suppressed recombination. Mechanistic studies confirmed the S-scheme mechanism as the key to its enhanced performance. This work provides a scalable and eco-friendly strategy for improving COF-based photocatalysts through S-scheme heterojunctions, offering a pathway for sustainable H 2 O 2 production and advancing the rational design of photocatalysts for green energy applications.

This study proposes a combined strategy of defect engineering and construction of S-scheme heterojunction that produces synergistic photovoltaic effects and significantly enhances photocatalysis degradation of organic pollutants under visible-light. A three-dimensional hierarchical flower-like photocatalyst CdS@Gd-ZnO featuring S-scheme heterojunction was rationally constructed. CdS@Gd-ZnO was able to degrade 99 % of rhodamine B (RhB) (10 mg/L, 75 min) and 95 % of methylene blue (MB) (10 mg/L, 60 min) under visible-light. Also, it has an excellent ability to degrade antibiotics, with 93 % of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) (20 mg/L, 60 min) and 90 % of oxytetracycline (OTC) (20 mg/L, 60 min), respectively. It was found that a small amount of Gd 3+ doping was not only conducive to introducing more oxygen defects, which provides a powerful tool for trapping electrons for charge transfer, but also caused the change of energy band structure, and ultimately enhanced the degradation of cationic pollutants. Accordingly, this strategy enhances the photocatalytic performance of CdS@Gd-ZnO, and the combined effect is significantly stronger than either alone. This work provides a new idea for the design of efficient heterojunction photocatalysts for energy and environmental applications.

Amino-functionalized six-membered cyclic carbonate tert-butyl(2-oxo-1,3-dioxan-5-yl) carbamate (TBC) was synthesized with tert-Butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) as protected group. Due to its thermal properties, ring-opening polymerization (ROP) carried out in a relatively low temperature, and Sn (Oct) 2 as catalyst. A series of copolymers were prepared with L-lactide (LA), ε-Caprolactone (CL) as co-monomers, searching for proper components and ratios. The protecting Boc-group was easy to remove by using trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). The structures of TBC and copolymers were confirmed by 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR analysis. Copolymers were characterized by DSC, GPC and water contact angle analysis. The introduction of pendant amino groups resulted in a significant enhancement of hydrophilicity of the copolymers.

The synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) via transesterification of ethylene carbonate (EC) and methanol (MeOH) was an environmental and practical strategy. Herein, poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) with swelling abilities were synthesized by free radical copolymerization of N -vinylimidazolium ionic liquids, sodium 4-vinylbenzoate and cross-linker 1,8-triethylene glycoldiyl-3,3ʹ-divinylimidazolium bromide ([(EG) 3 -DVIm]Br 2 ). The swelling abilities of PILs in various solvents were measured, and PILs could swell in methanol (MeOH). The swelling ability of PILs in MeOH could be modulated by changing the cross-linker content and chain length of 3-alkyl-substituents on imidazolium. The swollen state of PILs in MeOH presented a porous cross-linked network structure observed by the cryo-scanning electron microscope (cryo-SEM). The swelling PILs were used to catalyze the transesterification of ethylene carbonate (EC) and MeOH to prepare the DMC, and the catalytic activities was correlated with the swelling abilities of PILs. The PIL with 3-butyl-substituent and 2.5 mol% cross-linker (poly[VBIm-VBA-DVIm]-2.5%) had the highest swelling ratio ( Q = 12.4 (g/g)) in MeOH and EC mixed solvents and exhibited excellent catalytic activities, which was similar to corresponding homogeneous ionic liquid. Furthermore, the catalyst could be reused up to seven runs without any considerable loss of its initial activity.

Ammonia as a chemical substance is closely related to our daily life, and its production process has attracted researchers' attention. Due to its high energy consumption and high emission characteristics, the industrial Haber−Bosch process obviously cannot adapt to the sustainable development concept of low-carbon and environmental protection in today's society. The electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) technology is a promising method of converting unstable electrical energy into fuel for storage at ambient conditions. Here, a bimetallic catalyst, Co–Ni–S/Ni foam, is reported as an electrocatalyst to realize N 2 reduction. The in-situ growth strategy promotes the effective combination of Co 9 S 8 and Ni 3 S 2 on the Ni foam without any adhesive. The active centers of the bimetallic Co and Ni reasonably regulate the adsorption of various complex intermediates in the N 2 activation process, so that the Co–Ni–S/Ni foam has good N 2 activity. In 0.1 M Na 2 SO 4 , the designed electrocatalyst achieved an NH 3 yield of 5.05 × 10 −10 mol s −1 cm −2 at −0.6 V vs. RHE and an optimum Faradaic efficiency of 6.23% with good electrochemical stability and selectivity. Besides, the electrocatalytic sites were also evaluated in conjunction with density functional theory.

Electrochemical water splitting into hydrogen is a promising strategy for hydrogen production powered by solar energy. However, the cell voltage of an electrolyzer is still too high for practical application, which is mainly limited by the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction process. To this end, hybrid water electrolyzers have drawn tremendous attention. Herein, coaxial Ni/Ni3S2@N-doped nanofibers are directly grown on nickel foam (NF), which is highly active for hydrogen evolution reaction. Meanwhile, the Ni3S2@N-doped nanofibers on NF prepared in an Ar atmosphere display superior urea oxidation reaction performance to previously reported catalysts. The cell voltage is about 1.50 V in urea electrolysis to deliver a current density of 20 mA cm–2, lower than that of a traditional water electrolyzer (1.82 V). The current density is around 77% relative to its initial value of 20 mA cm–2 after 20 h, superior to Pt/C|Ir/C-based urea electrolysis (14%). It is found that the synergistic effect between metallic Ni and Ni3S2, as well as the interfacial effect between metal centers and N-doped carbon, favors the initial dissociation of H2O and the adsorption/desorption of H* with thermal neutral Gibbs free energy. Meanwhile, the in-situ generated NiOOH on the outer surface of Ni3S2 possessed lower electrochemical activation energy for urea decomposition. Meanwhile, the abundant oxygen vacancies in electrodes could expose more active sites for the adsorption of intermediates, including H* and OOH*. It is also found that the hierarchical nanostructure of densely packed nanowires provides ideal electronic and ionic transport paths for fast electrocatalytic kinetics. The present work indicated that the modulation of compositions and hierarchical nanostructure is effective to prepare efficient catalysts for H2 production via urea electrolysis.

The cocatalysts play a key role in photocatalytic technology in remarkably improving the efficiency of H 2 evolution. Herein, S vacancies-rich Cd 0.6 Zn 0.4 S nanorods (CZS NRs) were prepared via solvothermal method. Then, as-obtained CZS NRs were modified with Ni–Co PBA-derived NiS x nanoparticles (NPs) cocatalyst using grinding method. The optimized CZS/NiS x -N-1.5 hybrids (CZS/NiS x -N, where N represents nickel nitrate which was used as nickel source) exhibited outstanding stability and activity, the average rate of H 2 was up to 192.82 mmolg −1 h −1 in deionized water medium, which was 201.4% higher than that of CZS. Besides, NiS x -A and NiS x -C cocatalysts with different particle sizes were obtained using nickel acetate (A) and nickel chloride (C) as nickel source, respectively. The CZS/NiS x -C-1.5 and CZS/NiS x -A-1.5 exhibited the H 2 evolution rate of 180.70 and 201.93 mmolg −1 h −1 in deionized water medium, respectively. The as-prepared materials also exhibited the excellent H 2 evolution performance in natural seawater medium. Besides, the photocatalytic mechanism of H 2 evolution over CZS NRs/NiSs NPs was also discussed. This work develops a novel H 2 evolution cocatalyst and unveils the relationship between the loading amount/particle size of cocatalyst on the H 2 evolution rate.

Given the downsizing and high integration of laser diodes in recent decades, Yb: Sr 5 (PO 4 ) 3 F (S-FAP) crystal materials are predicted to be employed as an all-solid laser medium to produce more energy for inertial nuclear fusion. The effects of various sintering conditions on the microstructure evolution and properties of 2 at. % Yb: S-FAP transparent ceramics by hot pressing sintering were systematically investigated in this work, which including sintering temperature , sintering pressure, heating rate, and holding time. When other sintering variables are held constant, the results reveal that a sintering temperature of up to 1050 °C results in visible grain development, substantial optical scattering, and even a significant carburizing impact at 1100 °C. Excessive sintering dwell time will result in grain development, and a high sintering holding time will result in the emergence of intergranular pores, lowering the optical quality of ceramics. The optimal heating rate range for as-synthesized ceramic is found to be 5–15 °C/min. Moreover, the grain development process of Yb: S-FAP transparent ceramics is determined to be grain boundary diffusion, with an activation energy of 239.4 kJ/mol during hot pressing sintering. Meanwhile, the as-prepared sample has excellent mechanical properties such as Vickers hardness of 7.47 ± 0.045 GPa, which are highly competitive when compared to other Yb-doped optical ceramic media such as Y 2 O 3 , YAG, Lu 2 O 3 , and so on. Finally, the transmittance was interpreted based on the microstructures of the as-synthesized ceramic samples and the Rayleigh-Gans-Debye scattering theory.
