Ni modified Ce 0.6 Mn 0.3 Fe 0.1 O 2 (Ni-CMF) material is evaluated as an anode material for hybrid direct carbon fuel cell (HDCFC). The Temperature Programmed Reaction (TPR) and GC test results show that the Ni additive significantly promotes the oxidation of carbon and consequently accelerates the formation rate of CO. Moreover, the Ni-CMF material is found to show a high electrical conductivity compared to pure CMF in HDCFC operating conditions. Taking advantage of the excellent catalytic activity and high conductivity, the electrolyte-supported HDCFC with Ni-CMF anode shows a high maximum power density of 580.7 mW cm −2 at 800 °C, when activated carbon is used as the fuel. Furthermore, the cell displays good stability under galvanostatic operation at current density of 50 mA cm −2 at 750 °C. These results indicate that the designed Ni-CMF composite material has the potential to be developed as an alternative anode for HDCFCs.

This study presents the synthesis of highly active BiPO 4 /AgI/BC composite photocatalysts via a green, simple, and low-cost ambient temperature precipitation method. The electron transfer rate and visible-light responsiveness can be effectively enhanced by utilizing BiPO 4 compounded with the semiconductor AgI, which has a narrow bandgap and good visible-light responsiveness. Additionally, the introduction of biocarbon (BC) enhances the absorption and separation of photogenerated electrons and holes under visible light. Notably, the synthesized BP-AgI 0.6 -BC 5 % could remove 99.16 % and 99.7 % of EE2 and E2, respectively, at a concentration of 3 mg/L after 40 min of light exposure. The capture experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy reveal that the main active substance in the system is ·O 2 - , with BC playing a crucial role in enhancing the ·O 2 - concentration in the system. The findings from phytotoxicity and antimicrobial tests reveal that BP-AgI 0.6 -BC 5 % can efficiently degrade pollutants, producing degradation products that are substantially less toxic than the original pollutants. Moreover, it can remove more than 99.99 % of E. coli under both dark and light conditions, demonstrating excellent antimicrobial performance. Additionally, the photocatalytic mechanism and degradation pathway were examined in this study. Notably, the composite photocatalysts synthesized in this study achieved efficient degradation of EE2 and E2 under visible light conditions while exhibiting efficient bactericidal function. Furthermore, the room-temperature preparation method is conducive to industrial-scale production, highlighting a better prospect for practical applications.

Transforming alkanes into value-added light aromatics represents an promising strategy for maximizing the utility of fossil feedstocks. However, achieving highly selective aromatization reactions remains a formidable challenge. This study advocates for an alkane-O 2 coupling reaction strategy, which involves introducing a low-concentration O 2 atmosphere into the reaction system to facilitate the upgrading of alkanes to value-added aromatics over HZSM-5 zeolite catalyst. The investigation revealed that the abundant acidic sites on the zeolite facilitated alkane activation and subsequent C–C and C–H bond cleavage. Incorporating O 2 into the reaction generated oxygenated intermediates, significantly enhancing both the yield and selectivity of light aromatics compared to an inert atmosphere. Furthermore, the interaction of O 2 with coke bolstered the catalyst’s resistance to coking. Moreover, based on the in-situ FTIR results, a plausible alkane-O 2 coupling mechanism is proposed. These findings present a novel, effective, and environmentally benign approach for the highly selective aromatization of alkanes.

Photodynamic (PDT) and chemodynamic therapies (CDT) relying on reactive oxygen species-mediated treatments mainly face various challenges of hypoxia, endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) deficiency, and glutathione (GSH) overexpression in the tumor microenvironment. Herein, we propose a novel strategy using a core–shell structured nanocomposite, UCNP@mSiO 2 @5-ALA-CaO 2 -Cu(UA@CC). The strategy centers on upconverting NPs and then utilizes mesoporous silica loaded with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) to maximize the enrichment of protoporphyrin IX (Pph IX), an intra-tumor photosensitizer. Then in the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME), CaO 2 in the outer layer reacts with H 2 O to form O 2 , H 2 O 2 and Ca 2+ , and the released H 2 O 2 serves as an auxiliary “fuel” to induce acceleration of the Fenton-like (Cu 2+ ) reaction and inactivation of the antioxidant GSH enzyme, thus enhancing the tumor cells’ Catalysis. Furthermore, under the excitation of a 980 nm laser, 5-ALA-mediated PDT and Cu + -based CDT were initiated. Through interconnected processes of Ca 2+ overload, self-supply of H 2 O 2 /O 2 , and enhanced GSH depletion, an accelerated cycling strategy for combined PDT/CDT therapy was established, resulting in amplified oxidative stress and anti-tumor capabilities, which was validated in cancer cells and melanoma mouse models.

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) offers a promising minimally invasive treatment for breast cancer, but its efficacy is limited by the hostile tumor microenvironment (TME), including hypoxia and high glutathione (GSH) levels. Although various strategies to improve oxygen concentration or reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) resistance for enhanced PDT have been explored, they typically require intricate design and complex synthesis of multifunctional nanocarriers. Thus, this study introduces a facile K 2 FeO 4 -induced strategy to enhance PDT efficiency in breast cancer through the tumor in situ synthesis of Fe 2 O 3 and O 2 . Inspired by the successful application of K 2 FeO 4 in ecological remediation and hemostasis, K 2 FeO 4 reacts with GSH, biological system, H 2 O 2 , and water, to generate Fe 2 O 3 and O 2 . Intratumoral injection of K 2 FeO 4 improves the TME, followed by Ce6 administration to enhance PDT through synergistic ferroptosis. This approach boosts PDT efficacy significantly by increasing ROS generation, lipid peroxidation, and inhibiting GSH and GPX4. Proteomic analysis revealed alterations in key pathways, including endocytosis and energy metabolism. This K 2 FeO 4 -PDT strategy creates a positive feedback loop by enhancing oxidative stress, providing an interesting and promising approach to PDT.

Utilizing flue gas as feedstock for CO 2 electro−reduction systems is a promising technology to address problems caused by excessive CO 2 emissions. However, the O 2 contained in the flue gas has a significant adverse effect on the CO 2 reduction. Herein, a facile strategy was proposed to suppress the influence of O 2 by constructing a CO 2 −enriched region. N−doping was demonstrated to be an efficient way to enhance CO 2 adsorption selectivity over O 2 on activated carbon. The N−doped activated carbon achieved 3.7 times increase in CO 2 adsorption selectivity over O 2 than that before modification under simulated flue gas atmosphere (75 %N 2 + 15 %CO 2 + 10 %O 2 ). The distinction in adsorption mechanism between CO 2 and O 2 was revealed by quantum chemistry study. The increased polarity of the carbon materials favored CO 2 adsorption and had less impact on O 2 adsorption. The electrostatic interaction between CO 2 and carbon material was demonstrated to be enhanced after the introduction of pyridinic N and pyrrolic N, which led to an improvement in the CO 2 adsorption capacity. The dispersion interaction, which fully regulated O 2 adsorption, was weakened due to the deviation of the O 2 adsorption position. This study provided a reference for the subsequent development of CO 2 selective adsorption materials.

Rechargeable aprotic lithium (Li)-oxygen battery (LOB) is a potential next-generation energy storage technology because of its high theoretical specific energy. However, the role of redox mediator on the oxide electrochemistry remains unclear. This is partly due to the intrinsic complexity of the battery chemistry and the lack of in-depth studies of oxygen electrodes at the atomic level by reliable techniques. Herein, cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) is used to study how the redox mediator LiI affects the oxygen electrochemistry in LOBs. It is revealed that with or without LiI in the electrolyte, the discharge products are plate-like LiOH or toroidal Li 2 O 2 , respectively. The I 2 assists the decomposition of LiOH via the formation of LiIO 3 in the charge process. In addition, a LiI protective layer is formed on the Li anode surface by the shuttle of I 3 − , which inhibits the parasitic Li/electrolyte reaction and improves the cycle performance of the LOBs. The LOBs returned to 2e − oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) to produce Li 2 O 2 after the LiI in the electrolyte is consumed. This work provides new insight on the role of redox mediator on the complex electrochemistry in LOBs which may aid the design LOBs for practical applications.

Photocatalytic oxidation of benzene to phenol using molecular O2 is one of the most promising sustainable approaches for the green synthesis of phenol. Introducing oxygen vacancies (OVs) on semiconductor surfaces by defect engineering is a promising strategy to enhance the efficiency of benzene oxidation to produce phenol due to the unique functions of OVs in facilitating the charge separation and activation of molecular O2. Herein, a vacuum-sealed annealing strategy has been well developed to generate abundant surface OVs on semiconductors, such as WO3. The well-sealed quartz vial creates a well-controlled low-pressure condition for the formation of OVs without the need for external energy for maintaining the vacuum state. Moreover, the gaseous species generated during the thermal annealing process help mitigate stress-induced defects, particularly bulk defects. The vacuum-sealed annealed WO3 with sufficient OVs and reduced bulk defects shows a better photocatalytic performance in the one-step oxidation of benzene to phenol with O2, compared to the WO3 synthesized through thermal annealing in Ar and H2 atmospheres. The present vacuum-sealed annealing strategy is found to be further applicable to engineer a wide range of semiconducting photocatalysts with abundant OVs to optimize their properties for efficient photocatalysis and other OV-promoted systems.

The utilization of O 2 for propylene epoxidation is a highly desirable reaction due to its 100 % atom economy. However, achieving this reaction under mild conditions presents a significant challenge. In this paper, we present a tandem reaction system that combines 4,4′-dibromobenzophenone (BP) modified carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) with titanium silicalite zeolite (TS-1) to enable the selective photooxidation of propylene into propylene oxide at room temperature, using O 2 as the oxygen source. The achieved production rate of propylene oxide was an impressive 1195 μmol/g cat. /h, with a selectivity exceeding 99 %. Furthermore, the catalyst exhibited no significant deactivation after 5 cycles. Spectra and in-situ capture experiments revealed that the reaction involved a two-step system, with photocatalytic production of H 2 O 2 and propylene epoxidation facilitated by H 2 O 2 ·H 2 O 2 was generated through O 2− and 1 O 2 pathways, with an in-situ utilization efficiency of H 2 O 2 reaching 82 %. This work presents a novel approach for the direct epoxidation of propylene using O 2 .

This ceramic has uniform elemental distribution without impurity and segregation. The annealing experiment results show a reversible transformation between single phase and double phases in (Y 0·25 Zr 0.25 Hf 0.25 Ce 0.25 )O 2−δ in 800–1600 °C. The reversible phase transformation does not display any obvious influence on the thermal expansion of this sample. The thermal expansion coefficient of (Y 0·25 Zr 0.25 Hf 0.25 Ce 0.25 )O 2−δ is 12.4 × 10 −6 K −1 in 100–1500 °C, higher than that of 8 wt% yttria-stabilized zirconia (8 YSZ). Furthermore, (Y 0·25 Zr 0.25 Hf 0.25 Ce 0.25 )O 2−δ possesses a lower thermal conductivity (1.51 W m −1 K −1 at 900 ° C) and higher oxygen barrier property compared with 8 YSZ at high temperature. The Vickers' hardness, Young's modulus and fracture toughness of (Y 0·25 Zr 0.25 Hf 0.25 Ce 0.25 )O 2−δ are 10.0 GPa, 193.9 GPa and 1.93 MPa m 1/2 , respectively. These results demonstrate that (Y 0·25 Zr 0.25 Hf 0.25 Ce 0.25 )O 2−δ can be used as a promising candidate ceramic of thermal barrier coatings.

CZLSNYO exhibits a single-phase cubic fluorite structure with a smooth and crack-free surface and distinct grain boundaries after sintering at 1400 °C, 1500 °C and 1600 °C for 12 hours. The concentration of Ce 3+ in Ce ions is calculated to be 22.23 % ± 1.11 %, and the value of δ is 0.3519 ± 0.0176, yielding a nominal composition of (Ce 0.16 Zr 0.16 La 0.16 Sm 0.16 Nd 0.16 Y 0.16 )O 1.6481 ± 0.0176 . With the increase of sintering temperature, the average grain size of CZLSNYO initially enlarges and then reduces, and its Vickers hardness exhibits a comparable trend. By comparing with the 5-cations (Ce 0.2 Zr 0.2 La 0.2 Sm 0.2 Nd 0.2 )O 2- δ HEFOs, 6-cationic single-phase CZLSNYO sintered at 1500 °C possess large hardness (16.32 GPa) and fracture toughness (8.07 MPa m 1/2 ), since the addition of Y element increases the configuration entropy of the system, and Y has a greater hardness, resulting in a cocktail effect.

Aiming at inhibiting the irreversible P2–O2 phase transition of conventional P2-type cathode materials at high voltage and enhancing the cycling stability of sodium-ion batteries, in this article, based on a strategy of adjusting the Na + ion occupancy within the crystal structure, Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.67– x Fe x O 2 (NM– x Fe, x = 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) cathode materials were synthesized by high shear mixer (HSM)-assisted co-precipitation method and evaluated the electrochemical performance at high voltage (4.35 V). The optimal sample NM–0.15Fe exhibits an initial discharge capacity of 130.8 mAh/g (0.1 C), with exceptional retention of 95.9% after 100 cycles (1 C). XRD analysis reveals that Fe intercalation promotes the more amount of Nae-similar occupation; the Nae/Naf ratio equals 1.93 for NM–0.15Fe versus 1.62 for NM, which enhances Na + diffusion kinetics, as confirmed by GITT tests. Through characterizations of in situ XRD, XPS, HRTEM, CV, etc., it is illustrated that the Fe 3+ intercalation can effectively disrupt the Na + /vacancy ordering and inhibit the harmful P2–O2 phase transition, and then improve the cycling stability of the cathode. DFT calculations disclose that intercalated Fe can reduce the electron densities of adjacent transition metallic elements, generating more repulsive forces impacted on sodium and consequently appearance of more Nae sites, leading to a lower Na + diffusion energy barrier. Such strategy of modulating Na occupation sites in crystal structure is conducive to the development of low-cost and high-performance layered cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries.
