Electronic structure tuning is an effective strategy to activate transition metals. In this study, silica-promoted γ-Al 2 O 3 -supported Fe-based hydrodesulfurization catalysts of Fe species with electron loss were successfully prepared by transferring electrons from Fe to Si. The characterization results showed that the Fe-based hydrodesulfurization catalyst with the addition of silica modulated the structure and properties of the active metal, which not only improved the degree of sulfidation of the active metal but also promoted the generation of Fe(III)-S. The hydrodesulfurization rate of dibenzothiophene showed a remarkable rise from 38.4 to 83.2% at 673 K. Importantly, the formation of Fe(III)-S greatly stretched the bond length of Fe-S bonds, exhibiting an increase of approximately 21%, this facilitating the generation of coordinatively unsaturated active site. Finally, the HDS reaction performance of the Fe-based hydrodesulfurization catalysts was mainly influenced by the Fe(III)-S/Fe(II)-S ratio, with the most significant enhancement in the direct desulfurization reaction path. The results of this study provide a promising approach for the design and development of environmentally friendly and economical Fe-based catalysts in the field of clean fuels.

Discharging of organic pollutants from industrial activities into the water bodies is a common worldwide problem, which can adversely affect human life and the environment. Recently, many efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective photocatalytic methods have been investigated for environmental remediation. In this study, a simple and facile precipitation method at low temperature was proposed for the synthesis of V-doped Mo(O,S)2 oxysulfide. The crystallinity, morphology, elemental composition, and optical and electrical properties of the as-synthesized materials were characterized by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, FE-SEM, TEM, XPS, PL, and EIS. The photocatalytic performance of both bare and V-doped Mo(O,S)2 was evaluated in the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye. The holes (h+) and hydroxyl radicals (OH˙) were identified as the main oxidative species for MB degradation. V-Mo(O,S)2-10 synthesized with 10% vanadium precursor showed the highest photocatalytic efficiency for MB degradation under visible light irradiation with an apparent rate constant of 0.028 min−1, which was much greater than that of bare Mo(O,S)2 at 0.0098 min−1. Besides, V-Mo(O,S)2-10 had the lowest recombination rate of electron–hole pairs and charge transfer resistance to enhance the photocatalytic activity, as evidenced by PL and EIS analyses. Therefore, V-doped Mo(O,S)2 can be a potential candidate for photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes for environmental remediation.

Inorganic nanoparticles have been introduced into biological systems as useful probes for in vitro diagnosis and in vivo imaging, due to their relatively small size and exceptional physical and chemical properties. A new kind of colortunable Gd-Zn-Cu-In-S/ZnS (GZCIS/ZnS) quantum dots (QDs) with stable crystal structure has been successfully synthesized and utilized for magnetic resonance (MR) and fluorescence dual modality imaging. This strategy allows successful fabrication of GZCIS/ZnS QDs by incorporating Gd into ZCIS/ZnS QDs to achieve great MR enhancement without compromising the fluorescence properties of the initial ZCIS/ZnS QDs. The as-prepared GZCIS/ZnS QDs show high T
1 MR contrast as well as “color-tunable” photoluminescence (PL) in the range of 550–725 nm by adjusting the Zn/Cu feeding ratio with high PL quantum yield (QY). The GZCIS/ZnS QDs were transferred into water via a bovine serum albumin (BSA) coating strategy. The resulting Cd-free GZCIS/ZnS QDs reveal negligible cytotoxicity on both HeLa and A549 cells. Both fluorescence and MR imaging studies were successfully performed in vitro and in vivo . The results demonstrated that GZCIS/ZnS QDs could be a dual-modal contrast agent to simultaneously produce strong MR contrast enhancement as well as fluorescence emission for in vivo imaging.

Designing the efficient, low-cost and stable electrocatalyst is of great significance for storage and conversion of the renewable energy to hydrogen. Herein, the binder-free Ni–Fe–S electrocatalysts were directly electrodeposited on Ni foam, which exhibited the excellent hydrogen evolution reaction performance with the overpotential of 51.4 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm −2 . Based on the analysis and results of as-synthesized Ni, Ni–Fe and Ni–S, the boosted electrocatalytic activity can be attributed to the composite effect between Ni and the introduced Fe and S. Additionally, the Ni–Fe–S electrocatalysts also displayed the low cell voltage (1.59 V at 10 mA cm −2 ), remarkable durability and high Faraday efficiency in overall water electrocatalysis . Moreover, the water electrolysis device with Ni–Fe–S bi-electrodes can be driven by a small wind power generation and producing 4 mL H 2 in 39 min, indicating the prepared Ni–Fe–S electrocatalyst has the great potentials in producing hydrogen via renewable energy.

Extended light absorption and dynamic charge separation are vital factors that determine the effectiveness of photocatalysts. In this study, a nonmetallic plasmonic S-scheme photocatalyst was fabricated by loading 1D plasmonic W 18 O 49 nanowires onto 2D g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets . W 18 O 49 nanowires play the dual role of a light absorption antenna—that extends light adsorption—and a hot electron donor—that assists the water reduction reaction in a wider light spectrum range. Moreover, S-scheme charge transfer resulting from the matching bandgaps of W 18 O 49 and g-C 3 N 4 can lead to strong redox capability and high migration speed of the photoinduced charges. Consequently, in this study, W 18 O 49 /g-C 3 N 4 hybrids exhibited higher photocatalytic H 2 generation than that of pristine g-C 3 N 4 under light irradiation of 420–550 nm. Furthermore, the H 2 production rate of the best-performing W 18 O 49 /g-C 3 N 4 hybrid was 41.5 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 upon exposure to monochromatic light at 550 nm, whereas pure g-C 3 N 4 showed negligible activity. This study promotes novel and environmentally friendly hot-electron-assisted S-scheme photocatalysts for the broad-spectrum utilization of solar light.

Photocatalysis is an effective means to convert CO 2 and solar energy into high value-added chemicals. Herein, the surface gradient S doped CuCo 2 O 4 microflowers were fabricated by an in situ topotactic engineering strategy. This photocatalyst presented CO 2 photoreduction with a satisfying activity (5 h, 181 μmol) and stability (94.5% retention). Additionally, the theoretical calculations indicated the fomated M-S bond could be favorbale to facilitate the initial CO 2 ⁎ binding and promote the formation of COOH ⁎ intermediates. This work provides a novel strategy for the fabrication of effective photocatalysts and highlights an in-depth understanding of micro-level regulation towards photocatalytic overall performance.

ABSTRACT Nowadays, conjugated polymers have garnered numerous attention as a new class of organic photocatalysts due to their tunable electronic properties, low cost, excellent stability and sufficient light-absorption performance. In particular, pyrene-benzothiadiazole-based conjugated polymer (PBBP) has been considered to be a new type of conjugated polymers for photocatalytic H 2 evolution. However, the poor charge separation seriously limits its practical application in H 2 evolution. In this work, a PBBP-based polymer/CdS 2D/2D organic/inorganic S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst with a strong internal electric field is, for the first time, prepared for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The pyrene-benzothiadiazole-based conjugated polymers (PBBP) are synthesized by the Suzuki-Miyaura reactions. Then, the hybrid heterojunction photocatalysts are fabricated by coupling CdS with it through the ultrasonic mixing method. As a result, the highest H 2 -production rate of 15.83 mmol h −1 g −1 is achieved on 20% PBBP/CdS composite under visible-light irradiation, nearly 2.7 times higher than that of pure CdS. The apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) of 20% PBBP/CdS composite could reach 8.66% at λ = 420 nm. The enhanced activity could be attributed to the construction of S-scheme heterojunction, which accelerates the recombination of carriers with weaker redox ability and maintains the strong reducibility of electrons in CdS. This work provides a protocol for pyrene-benzothiadiazole-based conjugated polymers to prepare S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts based on organic/inorganic coupling.

This study focused on the structural differences of lignin after pyridine–acetic acid–water (PAW) and dioxane–acidic water (DAW) purification processes. These structural differences included the S/G ratio, condensed structure, weight-average (MW) molecular weights, β-O-4 linkages and sugar content. The chemical structure of the isolated crude lignin (CL), PAW purified lignin (PPL) and DAW purified lignin (DPL) was elucidated using quantitative13C NMR, 2D-HSQC NMR spectra, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed that the PPL fractions contain fewer condensed structures, higher S/G ratios, more β-O-4 linkages, higher average MWand lower thermal degradation properties compared to the CL and DPL fractions. Furthermore, the PAW process was more selective in removing condensed units and enriching S-type lignin from CL compared to the DAW process. These results provide valuable information for understanding which purification process is more suitable to be applied for lignin.Keywords:lignin purification;structural recognition;condensed lignin;S/G ratio

Three dinuclear Cu(I) complexes, [Cu 2 (pnd)(PPh 3 ) 4 ](BF 4 ) 2 (1) , [Cu 2 (pnd)(dppp) 2 ] (BF 4 ) 2 (2) , and [Cu 2 (pnd)(DPEphos) 2 ](BF 4 ) 2 (3) (PPh 3 = triphenylphosphine , dppp = 1, 3-bis (diphenylphosphino)propane, DPEphos = bis(2-diphenylphosphinophenyl)ether, pnd = N , N ’-bis (pyridin-2-ylmethylene)naphthyl-1, 5-diimine), have been prepared and characterized by IR, 1 H NMR, 31 P NMR, 13 C NMR, XRD , elemental analysis and X-ray crystal structure analysis. The structural analysis reveals that the flexible pnd in 1 – 3 acts in a trans bridging coordination mode to connect two Cu + ions, forming a S-shape conformation, while each of Cu (I) ion is four-coordinate N2P2, adopting a distorted-tetrahedral geometry. DFT calculations show that the HOMOs of complexes 1 – 3 are primarily located on the copper d -orbital and the phosphine ligand, together with a specific contribution of pnd, while LUMOs are mostly composed of pnd with admixed Cu(I) d-orbital character. Corresponding calculations of atomic charges indicate that the charge of the copper atom in complexes 1 – 3 is below + 1, while the total charges of the coordinated atoms are 0.743–0.786. Moreover, the solid-state emission spectra of complexes 1 – 3 show the existence of broad emission bands at 350–550 nm.

We report the direct synthesis of highly luminescent Cu–Zn–In–S (CZIS) quaternary nanocrystals (NCs) in the non-coordinating solvent 1-octadecene (ODE) using chloride salts of Cu, In, and Zn as metal precursors in the presence of oleic acid and dodecanethiol. The resulting CZIS NCs had a narrow size distribution with an average diameter of 2.5 nm. The photoluminescence spectra can be tuned from 400 nm–850 nm by varying the Cu : Zn precursor ratio, and a relatively high photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY) of 46% was obtained without any post-processing. The PL decay times of the as-prepared CZIS NCs were tunable via controlling the Cu : Zn precursor ratio and reaction time. The photoluminescence mechanism of the CZIS nanocrystals was discussed using the PL decay curves. EDS analysis revealed that the resulting CZIS NCs were Cu-deficient, and the internal defect-related emission process could be strongly promoted by the large Cu deficiency which is associated with the improvement of PL QY.

Defect engineering, such as introducing heteroatoms and vacancies into the electrode materials, provides a feasible strategy for boosting the electrochemical characteristics of hybrid supercapacitors. In this work, hollow N, S co-doped carbon (HNSC) spheres with high specific surface area are fabricated through the carbonization-etching process. Thanks to the unique porous architecture and multiple heteroatoms doping, the obtained HNSC electrode achieves an excellent capacitance of 330.4 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 and superior capacitance retention of 97 % after 10,000 cycles in 6 M KOH. Subsequently, the Co 3 S 4 nanoparticles with controllable sulfur vacancies (Vs-Co 3 S 4 ) are homogeneously deposited on the HNSC skeleton by a facile chemical reduction strategy. The fabricated Vs-Co 3 S 4 /HNSC cathode exhibits a compelling electrochemical capacity of 497.2 C g −1 at 1 A g −1 and a prominent cycle life of 98.1 % after 10,000 cycles in 6 M KOH. Noticeably, benefiting from the defects regulation and unique structures of HNSC and Vs-Co 3 S 4 /HNSC, the constructed hybrid supercapacitor of V S -Co 3 S 4 /HNSC//HNSC reaches a marvelous energy density of 71.4 Wh kg −1 at 925.3 W kg −1 with only 8.1 % capacity loss within 15,000 cycles at 10 A g −1 . Such eminent electrochemical features inspire the rational design of advanced defect-modulated electrode materials for energy storage applications.

Evidence is accumulating that insect epsilon class glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) play an important role in the resistance to xenobiotics such as insecticides. A Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) epsilon class GST gene, TcGSTe17 , was previously found to be significantly induced following exposure to the plant derivative eucalyptol. However, whether TcGSTe17 is involved in resistance to eucalyptol remains unclear. In this study, TcGSTe17 was cloned from the T. castaneum . Development stage expression profiling revealed that TcGSTe17 was expressed at all development stages of T. castaneum but was highly expressed in late-stage larvae. Subsequent expression profiling of tissues showed that TcGSTe17 was highly expressed in the gut of larvae and the fat body of adults, and also revealed gender-specific expression patterns. In addition, the transcripts of TcGSTe17 were significantly increased following exposure to eucalyptol, and RNAi increased the susceptibility of the beetles to eucalyptol. Collectively, these results suggest that TcGSTe17 contributes to the susceptibility of T. castaneum to eucalyptol. These findings provide new data for the prevention of pest resistance.
