With ammonia playing a more and more vital role in serving as a renewable hydrogen carrier, it is critical to develop economical and efficient electrocatalysts for the ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) in which hydrogen is released. In this work, a heterostructured electrocatalyst, Ni 3 S 4 @NiCo 2 O 4 /NF, was synthesized using the hydrothermal method for the purpose of improving AOR efficiency. The obtained nano catalyst exhibited an excellent AOR activity (10 mA·cm −2 at 0.58 V vs. Hg/HgO) and stability (37.2 h at 100 mA·cm −2 ). XRD and XPS characterizations indicated that the bulk catalyst remained unchanged yet with surface metallic Ni oxidized. In situ Raman spectroscopy analysis further revealed that the heterostructured catalyst underwent an obvious surface reconstruction process (Ni(OH) 2 → β-NiOOH → γ-NiOOH) which accordingly lowered the potential required for reconstruction and optimized the energy barrier for the AOR. DFT calculations showed that the heterostructured catalyst not only favors the acceleration of the reconstruction process due to electronic interactions, but also reduces the energy barrier in *NHNH 2 generation step, thus enhancing the performance of AOR, which is superior to the other two catalysts. The product gas analysis showed that the developed catalyst maintained an excellent Faraday efficiency of 95% and a continued activity. In summary, this work opened a potential new pathway for the design of heterostructured electrocatalysts for H 2 production through AOR.

Divalent cadmium ions in the water environment are a serious threat to human health. The purpose of this study is to develop a biodegradable bio-adsorbent based on bagasse lignin and can effectively adsorb cadmium ions. In this study, it was found that the thiol amino co-grafted lignin nanospheres (TALNPs) had been successfully prepared by the Mannich reaction system, and the performance tests indicate that TALNPs have good adsorption potential. The evaluation experiment shows that factors such as pH value, dosage, time, initial concentration, and temperature significantly affect the ability of TALNPs to adsorb cadmium ions. The simulation calculation of isothermal adsorption experiment shows that the adsorption of cadmium ions follows the Langmuir model, and the adsorption kinetics is pseudo-second order. Compared with unmodified lignin, the ability of TALNPs has increased by about 3.5 times. Using XPS to analyze the structure of TALNPs in the adsorption and desorption process shows that only the bridge bond changes, indicating that it is a relatively stable adsorbent and can be reused. In general, the design strategy of thiol-amino co-grafting to modify lignin nanospheres can enhance the adsorption of cadmium ions, and also provide a new way for the development and utilization of bagasse lignin.

In order to obtain the advanced photocatalyst with high performance for removing the gaseous formaldehyde, a new strategy with amination of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) and combination with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is proposed in this work. TiO 2 was first aminated into amino-TiO 2 and then combined with rGO by an electrostatic self-assembly process to form the amino-TiO 2 /rGO photocatalysts. The structure and morphology were characterized by XRD , FTIR, and SEM, respectively. Physicochemical properties were measured by EIS, XPS , ESR , PL , and photocurrent measurements. The mechanism of the photocatalytic reaction was studied. Optimal amino-TiO 2 /rGO catalyst exhibits high catalytic activity and recyclability. The reaction rate constant of HCHO over this catalyst is approximately 9.8 × 10 −3 L mol −1 ·min −1 , which is 10.5 times higher than that of the commercial Degussa P25 TiO 2 . The analysis results from XPS and ESR indicates that the high catalytic activity could be mainly attributed to the imine formed by chemisorption of amino and HCHO. The reaction speed of formaldehyde photolysis increases as the concentration of HCHO on the photocatalyst surface increased. In addition, the introduction of graphene enhances carrier separation efficiency so that leads to more reactive radicals such as hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide radicals (·O 2 − ), leading to improved performance on formaldehyde photolysis. This could provide a useful method for highly efficient formaldehyde photocatalysis .

A one-pot hydrothermal route was developed for the preparation of nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) hydrogels using graphene oxide (GO) as a raw material and nine amino acids with different acidities (acidic, neutral and basic) as doping agents. The morphology, structure and composition of the prepared NG using three amino acids (DL-aspartic acid, acidic; L-glycine, neutral; L-arginine, basic) were characterized by SEM, nitrogen physisorption, Raman and XPS spectroscopy. Acidic amino acids yielded NG with a cross-linked 3D network with a large specific surface area of 367.1 m2 g−1, while NG arising from the use of basic amino acids showed a tightly stacked structure with a much smaller surface area of 10.5 m2 g−1. The charged amino acids, and the ensuing electrostatic interactions between the amino acid and GO, affect the morphology of NG, and ultimately affect its electrochemical performance. The samples prepared using acidic amino acids, with the lowest surface N content (1.0%) but the largest surface area, displayed high specific capacitance of 246 F g−1 at 3 A g−1. The microstructure, surface area and effective nitrogen content, mainly the pyridinic nitrogen group related to pseudocapacitance, play important roles in the capacitive performance of the NG samples.

Electrochemical grafting of diazonium salts have been applied to improve interfacial properties of carbon fiber and matrix resin . However, these graft modifications are still limited to general-purpose carbon fiber reinforced resin matrix composites such as epoxy. In this research, the direct grafting of Poly (aryl ether ketone) (PAEK) macromolecule on carbon fiber was achieved with mild condition. Firstly, aniline was introduced into Poly (ether ether ketone) (PEEK) as pendent group to improve solubility and amino terminated group was introduced as precursor of diazonium salt. Then the graft was conduct through diazonium salt reduction. After modification, the aniline side group could be hydrolyzed off to recover crystallinity . To further analyze the graft, single molecular-force spectroscopy was introduced to investigate the surface of carbon fiber. Impressively, the extension curve suggested the PAEK macromolecule had been attached to surface through strong interaction. Combined this with XPS data, it was believed that the graft was a success. As a result, the grafted polymer along with the polymer that physically absorbed on carbon fiber in electrolyte can cooperate to strengthen the interface. The interfacial shear strength of the grafted carbon fiber and PEEK increased from 42.27 MPa to 97.33 MPa by 130.26%. The improvement mainly originated from the covalent bonding that connected the carbon fiber and the graft coating layer as well as the great compatibility between the graft coating layer and the matrix resin. These results also demonstrated the possibility to graft high performance polymers on carbon fiber through one-step modifications.

The ions activation of quartz is a thorny problem that deteriorates the flotation of metal ore. Polymer inhibitors have exhibited excellent depression performance in the selective flotation of metal-ion activated minerals. In this study, the inhibitory role of sodium alginate (NaAl) in the flotation of Ca 2+ -activated quartz was thoroughly explored by zeta potential, dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis and adsorption test. The flotation results suggested that NaAl could inhibit the flotation of Ca 2+ -activated quartz in sodium oleate (NaOl) system to different degrees, depending on the addition sequence of NaOl and NaAl. More significant depression of Ca 2+ -activated quartz could be achieved when NaAl was added prior to NaOl. It was found that prominent mutual interaction existed among Ca 2+ , NaOl and NaAl in the bulk solution, probably forming calcium alginate–calcium oleate crosslink product, which was not affected by the addition sequence of these two reagents. However, the interfacial behaviors of these two reagents on Ca 2+ -activated quartz surfaces differed under different reagent conditions. The addition of NaAl after NaOl could not only partially desorb the pre-adsorbed NaOl from mineral surfaces, but also decrease the mineral surface hydrophobicity by polymer coating, which therefore deteriorated the flotation of Ca 2+ -activated quartz. In contrast, when NaAl was added prior to NaOl, the pre-adsorption of NaAl made the further adsorption of NaOl rather difficult, which was likely attributed to the reticulated structure of NaAl and the associated steric hindrance effect. As a result, the flotation of Ca 2+ -activated quartz was tightly depressed.

In this research, FeCo 2 O 4 nanomaterial was successfully synthesized by a typical sol–gel method and conducted as an effective agent for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation to eliminate antibiotics flurbiprofen (FLU), a strong nonsteroidal drug. FeCo 2 O 4 nanomaterial was characterized by XRD, TEM, SEM, and XPS. Various characterization results proved that FeCo 2 O 4 held stable spinel structure. The interfering factors including initial pH, PMS concentration, catalyst dosage, inorganic anions, and humic acid on FLU removal were also discussed. The conclusion was that the removal efficiency of FLU reached 98.2% within 120 min after adding FeCo 2 O 4 (0.4 g L −1 ) and PMS (3 mM). The optimal pH for FLU degradation was the initial pH of 6.5; too acidic or alkaline was not conductive to the degradation. The existence of HA and Cl − restrained the degradation of FLU, and HCO 3 − promoted the removal, while the influence of NO 3 − and SO 4 2− could not be considered. The radical scavenging experiment confirmed that • OH, O 2 •− , and SO 4 •− participated in FLU removal and SO 4 •− functioned a leading role. FeCo 2 O 4 showed high efficiency for PMS activation in pH range of 3.0 to 10.0. After the fourth cycle operation, the FLU removal rate exceeded 76.9%, and the Co leaching rate was low during the catalytic reaction. This study shows that FeCo 2 O 4 nanomaterial is an efficient and environment-friendly catalyst, which can be applied for PMS activation to remove organic pollutants in water.

The process of urbanization has resulted in a continuous growth of the production of municipal solid waste , consequently leading to the increase of municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI FA) over time. This has prompted the need for effective disposal and value-added utilization strategies for MSWI FA. In this study, a hydrothermal method was employed to synthesize Ca Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) using MSWI FA as the raw material. The main objective was to investigate how different synthesis parameters affect the crystallinity of the layered bimetallic hydroxides. Subsequently, the synthesized LDHs were characterized using various techniques such as BET, SEM , XRD, FT-IR, and XPS. The results revealed the presence of calcium and aluminum cations in the interlayer region of the synthesized material, with chloride ions, sulfate ions, and acetate ions being the predominant anions. Moreover, the formation of LDHs presents an effective approach for the self-purification of leachates derived from MSWI FA. The LDHs exhibited excellent adsorption capacity for Cd 2+ and Cu 2+ in wastewater, with maximum values of 730 mg·g −1 and 446 mg·g −1 , respectively. The adsorption mechanisms involved isomorphous substitution, complexation, as well as the precipitation of hydroxides or interlayer anions. This method presents a novel approach for effectively utilizing MSWI FA to produce environmentally friendly value-added adsorbents.

Palladium is versatile in many industrial applications due to its distinct physicochemical properties . Due to the scarcity of natural resources and the growing market demand, palladium recovery from wastes such as spent catalysts is receiving increasing attention. Here, a silica-supported thiourea resin (SiPS-TU) was prepared and applied to separate Pd(II) from spent catalysts. The SiPS-TU was fabricated through in situ polymerization and post modification method using amorphous macroporous silica as the matrix. Experimental results suggested that the optimal acidity for the adsorption process was 0.1 M under selected range, and the uptake of SiPS-TU was affected by H + and Cl − . The adsorbent showed rapid sorption kinetics with an equilibrium attained in 30 min, while more than 3 h was required for the commercial D840 resin. Column tests showed that SiPS-TU had excellent dynamic separation property for Pd(II) in continuous process. Around 215 bed volumes (430 mL) of Pd(II) solution could be effective treated by the SiPS-TU bed before breakthrough at 4 mL/min, while D840 resin bed was less effective under equivalent conditions (20 mL). In view of its satisfactory adsorption performances, palladium was successfully separated from the catalyst leaching solution by SiPS-TU. XPS spectra and DFT calculations indicated that the adsorption mechanism of SiPS-TU for Pd(II) mainly involved anion exchange and coordination. In conclusion, this study provides a feasible material for palladium recovery from practical leachate.

Copper ions have been widely used as activators in mineral flotation. However, in this study, it was found that copper ions can be used as auxiliary depressant for chalcopyrite depression, reversing the traditional use of copper ions as activators. In addition, a chalcopyrite depressant called sodium trithiocarbonate (Na 2 CS 3 ) has been proposed. Na 2 CS 3 was used as the main depressant and copper ions as the auxiliary depressant in this paper. Copper ions could enhance the depression effect of Na 2 CS 3 on chalcopyrite. The depression effect was reflected through micro-flotation tests, and the depression mechanisms were investigated by UV–Vis spectrophotometry determination, contact angle measurements, LEIS experiments, XPS tests, Zeta potential measurements and DFT simulation. The flotation results indicated that Na 2 CS 3 can depress chalcopyrite, and copper ions could enhance the depression effect of Na 2 CS 3 on chalcopyrite. UV–Vis spectrophotometry analysis shows that Na 2 CS 3 can reduce adsorption capacity of BX on chalcopyrite surface. Contact angle measurements and LEIS experiments indicate that hydrophilicity substance is formed after the addition of Na 2 CS 3 . XPS tests confirm that the Cu(OH) 2 produced by the addition of Na 2 CS 3 was mainly responsible for the depression. Zeta potential measurements and DFT simulation reveal the synergistic mechanism between copper ions and Na 2 CS 3 . The enhanced depression effect of copper ion is mainly achieved by promoting the desorption of BX and the formation of Cu(OH) 2 on chalcopyrite surface in the presence of Na 2 CS 3 .

The widespread use of tetracycline (TC) is a non-negligible cause of environmental pollution , such as antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Economical, green and efficient treatment methods are urgently needed. In this study, the magnetic N-doped iron sludge based biochar (N-BCFe) was prepared by a one-step pyrolysis method using the iron-containing sludge from groundwater treatment plants, sycamore leaves and urea as raw materials to active persulfate (PS) for TC degradation . The results show that under the optimal experimental conditions, the removal rate of 10 mg/L TC in the N-BCFe/PS system could reach 86.56% (120 min), accompanied by a 59.9% reduction in total organic carbon (TOC), and still 63.34% of TC was removed in the third recycle experiment. Combined with EPR, free radical quenching experiments and XPS spectra, it is confirmed that there are free radicals ( S O 4 · − , ·OH) and non-radical ( 1 O 2 ) pathways in N-BCFe/PS system. And the former is related to Fe doping, while the latter is attributed to N doping (nitrogen-containing functional groups). Seventeen TC intermediates were identified by LC-MS technology, and three TC degradation pathways were established accordingly. Generally, this study illustrates the considerable catalytic potential of N-BCFe and provides valuable insights into the synthesis of catalysts prepared from iron-containing sludge as feedstock.
