The significant carrier recombination occurring in the bulk of BiVO4 is a primary factor limiting the enhancement of its photoelectrochemical performance. To address this issue, we have incorporated two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet morphology Bi:ZnIn2S4 and Co sites onto the surface of BiVO4 to create an effective composite photoanode. According to the ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy results, it was inferred that a Z-scheme transfer path of charges was formed between BiVO4 and Bi:ZnIn2S4, which promoted the separation of bulk phase carriers. Additionally, the 2D topography of Bi:ZnIn2S4 also shortens the transmission distance of the carriers. Furthermore, the presence of Co sites provides more active sites for the surface hydrolysis reaction to proceed. Ultimately, under AM1.5G illumination, the photocurrent density of the BiVO4/Bi:ZnIn2S4-Co photoanode reaches 3.6 mA cm–2 at 1.23 V vs reversible hydrogen electrodes.

Catalytic combustion is one of effective ways to remove short-chain alkanes. In this study, we elaborately designed a novel catalyst of in situ Co-Mn decorated LaMnO 3 perovskite for ethane catalytic combustion, in which extra Mn and Co species were introduced via acidic KMnO 4 and Co(NO 3 ) 2 solution precipitation method. The addition of Mn and Co could not only slightly etch LaMnO 3 , thereby increasing specific surface area and redox property, but also generate new active phase CoMn 2 O 4 , thus accelerating reaction. Among all the as-prepared catalysts, CMO/LMO-0.5 exhibited admirable ethane removal efficiency with a T 90 of 365 °C, a reaction rate of 0.46 mmol·g −1 ·h −1 , a TOF value of 0.64 mmol·g −1 ·h −1 , and excellent hydrothermal stability and reusability. Moreover, according to in situ DRIFTS, a possible pathway was proposed. This work can rationalize an alternative approach to develop an active catalyst for short-chain alkanes catalytic combustion or other catalytic systems.

Graphical This paper selectes MBioFs with copper ions as the metal center to design an MBioFs/PANI composite suitable for CO gas sensors. The morphology and nanostructure of the prepared materials were thoroughly analyzed, followed by testing their gas-sensing properties. Subsequently, the gas sensing mechanism of composite materials was proposed and discussed in detail. In addressing the issue of poor gas sensitivity in semiconductor CO sensor materials used in mining, such as pure PANI. This study utilized an ice-water bath in combination with an in-situ polymerization method to synthesize a new composite material consisting of Cu(II)-racemic glutamate nanofibers and PANI. The morphology, structure, and chemical bonds of the composite material were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and spectral analysis. The material's ability to detect CO (100–500 ppm) at room temperature was investigated, revealing a response value of up to 6.8 % for 400 ppm CO detection when the composite material was deposited on a ceramic interdigital electrode. The material exhibited good selectivity and responsiveness to CO detection at room temperature, attributed to the heterojunction formed between Cu(II)-racemic glutamate nanofibers and PANI, which enhanced carrier migration. Consequently, the Cu(II)-racemic glutamate nanofiber/PANI composite(Cu(II)-RGlu/PANI) material shows promise as a high-performance sensing material for CO detection at room temperature and as a low-power, integrable sensor material for underground coal mines. This research contributes to the development of a theoretical framework for such applications.

Recovery of sulfuric acid from industrial wastewater via electrodialysis (ED) has become a hot topic recently. Since the commercially used anion exchange membranes (AEM) generally lead to the severe proton leakage during ED process, the efficiency of the acid recovery was seriously affected. In this work, a series of proton blockage cross-linking AEM has been prepared by modifying poly(vinylidene fluoride- co -hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF- co -HFP) with 1-vinylimidazole, followed by crosslinking with 1,4-dibromobutane. Our investigation demonstrates that the as-prepared PVDF- co -HFP-based AEM has the observable asymmetric structure on the two sides of the AEM with a smooth and dense surface and a rough and porous surface. The asymmetric structure and the hydrophobicity of the fluorinated backbone of AEM render the improved proton blocking performance, and the increased electrical efficiency and reduced energy consumption of acid recovery. For example, the optimized AEM (AEM-0.5) exhibits the acid concentration with the values of c H + = 2.04 M (initial proton concentration: 1.0 M) in concentrate cell during 12 h-ED process at current density of 20 mA cm −2 and low energy consumption of 1.75 kw·h·kg −1 relative to the commercial NEOSEPTA® AHA and proton blockage ACM AEM. It is believed that this study can provide a guideline for designing advanced proton blocking AEMs.

The development of efficient Cu–Ce catalysts for selective CO oxidation in hydrogen streams (CO-PROX) remains a critical challenge for hydrogen purification technologies. Herein, we report an acid-modified Cu–Ce/γ-Al2O3 catalyst synthesized through HCl-assisted wet impregnation and thermal aging, demonstrating exceptional low-temperature CO-PROX performance. The optimized CuCe0.8(Cl)0.2/γ-Al2O3 catalyst achieves superior CO conversion below 160 °C and maintains stable activity for 50 h at 160 °C. Mechanistic studies reveal that HCl modification induces dual enhancement effects: (1) increased Cu+ species density enhances CO adsorption capacity; (2) elevated Ce3+ concentration promotes oxygen vacancy formation for efficient O2 activation. Complementary characterization demonstrates that the acid treatment optimizes the active species dispersion and creates hierarchical pore structures in the γ-Al2O3 support, which facilitates reactant accessibility and stabilizes catalytic intermediates. The reaction mechanism involves synergistic cooperation between Cu+-mediated CO adsorption, oxygen vacancy-assisted O2 activation, and hydroxyl-assisted bicarbonate intermediate formation on the alumina support. This work establishes an effective acid-modification strategy for designing durable CO-PROX catalysts, advancing the development of a practical hydrogen purification system.

Solid-state sintering method was used for the synthesis of Mg 1−x Co x SiO 3 (x = 0–0.25) ceramics. Phase, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of the ceramics were investigated. With increase in Co 2+ content, the increase was observed in the lattice parameters. The Q u f o value of MgSiO 3 was enhanced from 103,453 to 145,846 GHz with increasing the value of x content from 0 to 0.15. The Co 2+ substitution also led to an obvious decrease in the sintering temperature by ~ 100 °C. Clino-enstatite phase formed for the composition with x = 0 while Proto-enstatite formed as the major along with minor clino-enstatite phase for the compositions with x > 0. Good dielectric properties at microwave frequencies i.e. ε r ~ 8.11, Q u f o ~ 145,846 GHz and τ f ~ − 12 ppm/°C were obtained for the composition with x = 0.15 sintered at 1350 °C for 9 h. This is suggested to be a very favorable dielectric material for millimeterwave applications.

The enhanced utilization of biomass-derived chemicals for the generation of high value aromatics through an advanced catalytic strategy has captured considerable attention within the realm of eco-friendly manufacturing. This work presented four innovative three-dimensional rod-shaped mesoporous Ce-based MOF materials, which were coupled with a H-donor solvent to facilitate vanillin hydrodeoxygenation and macromolecular lignin. Under the optimized conditions (30 mg CoCe@C catalyst, 2 MPa N 2 pressure, 15 mL isopropanol, 190 °C, and 5 h), the CoCe@C catalyst achieved nearly complete conversion of vanillin and demonstrated 87.8 % selectivity in the hydrogen-donor solvent. The characterization findings suggested that the synergy between metallic Co and oxygen vacancy sites enabled the effective activation of CHO group in vanillin, leading to formation of reactive product MMP . In addition, the optimal CoCe@C catalyst could also achieve macromolecular lignin hydrodeoxygenation to obtain high yield of lignin oil products with narrower molecular weight distribution . This study presented a viable approach for the concurrent utilization of lignin derivatives in the generation of high value fuels and chemicals.

Dye pollution has caused great harm to the ecological environment. In this paper, N and S co-doped biochar (K-NSBC) was obtained by a calcination–alkali activation method, then Co/Al layered double hydroxide (Co/Al-LDH) was anchored on it by a co-precipitation method to activate ozone (O3) to degrade methylene blue (MB). When the O3 concentration was 3.12 mg L−1, catalyst dosage was 0.6 g L−1, the MB concentration was 25 mg L−1, and pH was 6.8, the degradation efficiency of MB reached 99.65%. The degradation efficiency still remained at 92.75% even after Co/Al-LDH@K-NSBC was recycled five times. The results of material characterization and quenching experiments show that the presence of oxygen vacancies (Ov) on the metal surface not only accelerates the exchange of oxygen and the generation of active free radicals, but also promotes the conversion of Co3+/Co2+ and the activation of O3. Pyridine N, graphite N and thiophene S provide electron-rich groups, which promote the activation of O3 to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). Among them, 1O2 is the main ROS leading to the degradation of MB, and its intermediates ˙OH and ˙O2− also participate in the oxidation of MB. This study is expected to provide new ideas and directions for the design of highly efficient and stable ozonation activators and industrialization of non-phase catalytic ozonation degradation of dye wastewater.

The QS@PDA/Co-Mn-ZIF catalyst, synthesized using quartz sand as a base material, effectively degrades TCH through the activation of PMS. The Co-Mn-ZIF component activates PMS, while PDA ensures the adhesion of ZIF to quartz, facilitating catalyst recovery. This design enhances electron transport and metal ion redox reactions, generating reactive species that degrade TCH. It achieves a 94 % TCH removal rate from a 100 mg/L solution within 40 min, demonstrating stability under various pH and water conditions. The catalytic mechanism was elucidated·through radical trapping experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis. QS@PDA/Co-Mn-ZIF shows great potential for treating recalcitrant and high-concentration organic wastewater.

Co-, Ni-, and Zn-containing MOFs are prepared and then pyrolyzed to generate materials for ambient temperature NO adsorption. Materials containing Co are much more efficient for NO adsorption than those containing Ni and Zn; therefore, Co is identified as the active phase. The best performing material studied here achieves 100% low concentration (10 ppm) NO adsorption for more than 15 h under a weight hourly space velocity of 120 000 mL g–1 h–1. Powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared, and Raman spectroscopies, along with scanning electron microscopy and TEM, are used to probe the physicochemical properties of the materials, particularly the Co active phase, and chemistries involved in NO adsorption–desorption. NO adsorbs on oxygen-covered Co nanoparticle surfaces in the form of nitrates and desorbs as NO at higher temperatures as a result of surface nitrate decomposition. NO storage capacity decreases gradually upon repeated NO adsorption–desorption cycles, likely because of Co3O4 formation during these processes.

In this work, a chemiluminescence (CL) aptasensor was designed for detection of microcystin-RR (MC-RR) by introducing Cu/Co nanorods acting as CL catalyzer. Cu/Co nanorods were firstly synthesized throughout a hydrothermal method . Then the thiolated MC-RR aptamer was immobilized on the surface of Cu/Co nanorods, which was employed for recognizing of MC-RR target. In the presence of MC-RR, the conformational change of MC-RR aptamer was happened via recognizing between MC-RR and its aptamer. The luminol CL was catalyzed by Cu/Co nanorods that influenced by conformational change of MC-RR aptamer. The formed MC-RR/aptamer composite prevented the diffusion channel of luminol substrate toward the Cu/Co nanorods surface and restrained the Cu/Co nanorods catalyzing luminol CL. And the intensity of CL depended on the concentration of MC-RR. Under optimal condition, the CL aptasensor had a linear range in 0.1 to 70 nM and a low detection limit of 3.3 × 10 −11 M for MC-RR. This study provided a significant method for MC-RR detection in real samples with excellent selectivity.

There is a challenge to boost the electromagnetic wave absorption performance of magnetic carbon-based materials by rationally adjusting the structure of MOF. In this paper, nanoclip-shaped polypyrrole (PPy) was wrapped on the surface of the Co/C nanoparticle derived from Co-MOF via in-situ polymerization of pyrrole with the help of cetylammonium bromide. The electromagnetic parameters of prepared Co/C@PPy can be easily tuned by adjusting the feed ratio of PPy to Co/C. The optimum value of reflection loss (RL) for Co/C@PPy is −45.49 dB at 2.4 mm and 15.12 GHz when the feed ratio of pyrrole to Co/C is 200 μL to 80 mg, and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB, RL ≤ −10 dB) reaches 5.97 GHz (11.76–17.73 GHz) at the matching thickness of 2.5 mm. This study paves the way for further design and preparation of the nanocomposites based on MOF-derived nanostructures with excellent EMW absorption performance.
