For the bioremediation of mixed-contamination sites, studies on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degradation or Cd (II) tolerance in bacteria are commonly implemented in nutrient-rich media. In contrast, in the field, inocula usually encounter harsh oligotrophic habitats. In this study, the environmental strain Paraburkholderia fungorum JT-M8 was used to explore the overlooked Cd (II) defense mechanism during PAH dissipation under P-limited oligotrophic condition. The results showed that the growth and PAH degradation ability of JT-M8 under Cd (II) stress were correlated with phosphate contents and exhibited self-regulating properties. Phosphates mainly affected the Cd (II) content in solution, while the cellular distribution of Cd (II) depended on Cd (II) levels; Cd (II) was mainly located in the cytoplasm when exposed to less Cd (II), and vice versa. The unique Cd (II) detoxification pathways could be classified into three aspects: (i) Cd (II) ionic equilibrium and dose–response effects regulated by environmental matrices (phosphate contents); (ii) bacterial physiological self-regulation, e.g., cell surface-binding, protein secretion and active transport systems; and (iii) specific adaptive responses (flagellum aggregation). This study emphasizes the importance of considering culture conditions when assessing the metal tolerance and provides new insight into the bacterial detoxification process of complex PAH-Cd (II) pollutants.

Recently, many efforts have been devoted to studying early-stage fire-warning materials (EFWMs). Among those, thermoelectric effect-based EFWM (TE-EFWMs) are particularly attractive because they are self-powered and intrinsically sensitive to temperature. However, none of the reported fire-warning response times of TE-EFWMs can reach 1.0 s. Herein, flame-retardant composite cotton fabrics with speedy and repeatable fire warning function (denoted as CF-TE-FR) were constructed by in-situ polymerized polypyrrole (PPy) doped with P-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) and a flame retardant composite layer composed of sodium montmorillonite (MMT) and ammonium polyphosphate (APP). The fire warning performance of CF-TE-FR was effectively enhanced through PTSA doping, and the fire warning response time was shortened with an increasing concentration of PTSA. The fire warning indicator could be triggered as fast as 0.8 s when the molar ratio of PTSA to pyrrole monomer reached 1:3. Meanwhile, all the CF-TE-FR samples could release the fire-warning signals repeatedly. This work proposes a facile approach to the fabrication and application of organic thermoelectric polymer-based materials with ultrafast fire-warning response, repeatable fire-warning capability, and excellent flame retardancy. Graphical abstract Flame-retardant cotton fabrics based on the thermoelectric effect of polypyrrole demonstrate speedy and repeatable fire warning function.

Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) is a major transmitter of redox signals during chemical processes. Cost-effective and easy-to-operate sensors for H 2 O 2 are in high demand in a variety of fields. A novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor for H 2 O 2 detection was investigated, using BiOBr/TiO 2 NAs/FTO (BiOBr/TNAs) as a PEC electrode which is obtained by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. This non-enzymatic PEC BiOBr/TNAs electrode shows excellent selectivity, stability, and reproducibility for H 2 O 2 detection in optimizing modes. The linear relationship is in a broad range from 4 to 1800 μM (R 2 = 0.994) and a detection limit of 0.65 μM (S/N = 3). In the detection of H 2 O 2 in apple juice and milk real samples, the BiOBr/TNAs show outstanding recovery ranging from 98.0 % to 102.0 %, indicating great potential in practical applications. Meanwhile, the p-n heterojunction formed between BiOBr and TiO 2 improves the utilization of visible light and effectively promotes the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes. This work provides a new strategy for the non-enzymatic detection of hydrogen peroxide in PEC mode.

Dynamics and morphology play a crucial role in the field of photocatalytic hydrogen production. Regulating the transfer of photogenerated charges is an effective way to improve the catalytic activity. In this paper, 1T-WS2 is introduced into a p–n heterostructure, ZnCdS/NiV-LDH, as a metalloid electron pump to transfer photogenerated electrons from semiconductors with larger work functions to metalloid materials with smaller work functions, effectively to attract photogenerated electrons, and promote charge rearrangement at the p–n heterostructure interface, so as to achieve the best utilization efficiency of photogenerated charges. Second, adjusting the morphology to increase the light absorption area of the catalyst is also a way to improve the photocatalytic activity. Two different nanosheet structures dispersed heavily stacked ZnCdS, increasing the light absorption area of the system. The optimal catalyst ratio achieves a hydrogen evolution rate of 22.37 mmol g−1 h−1, achieving 7.98% AQE and 2.12% STH conversion efficiency at 450 nm. The potential mechanism was demonstrated through in situ XPS. This study provides new insights into adding “electron pumps” to heterostructures to enhance photocatalytic activity.

Zn–iodine (I 2 ) battery, as a promising energy storage device, especially under high I 2 loading, is harassed by the shuttle effect of the soluble polyiodide intermediates. Herein, the bifunctional role of 2D carbon nanosponge with rich P-dopant (4.2 at%) and large specific surface area (1966 m 2 g −1 ) in anchoring I 2 /I x − ( x = 1, 3 or 5) and catalyzing their mutual conversion is reported. Both experiment and computational results reveal the transfer of electrons from the P-doped site to iodine species, showing strong interfacial interaction. When being used as a host, it possesses high specific capture capacity for I 2 (3.34 g iodine g −1 or 1.6 mg iodine m −2 ) and I x − (6.12 g triiodide g −1 or 3.1 mg triiodide m −2 ), which thus effectively suppresses the shuttle effect, supported by in situ UV–vis and Raman spectra. In addition to the strong interfacial interaction that favors iodine conversion, the P-doped sites can also catalyze the conversion of I 5 − to I 2 , which is the rate-determining step. Consequently, Zn–I 2 batteries under a high I 2 content (70 wt%) deliver high specific capacity (220.3 mAh g −1 ), superior Coulombic efficiency (>99%), and low self-discharge rate; moreover, they can also operate steadily at 2 A g −1 with ignorable capacity decay for 10 000 cycles.

Persistent free radicals (PFRs) in biochar have been found to the transformation of organic contaminants in environment. However, there remains insufficient comprehension on the relationship of biochar aging with interfacial reactivity of PFRs to the degradation of phenolic compound in geochemical process. Herein, we studied both sorption and degradation of p -nitrophenol (PNP) on fresh and aged biochars via H 2 O 2 aging under anoxic condition . With increasing aging extent, the enhancive proportion of O-centered radicals was observed progressively as indicated by increased g factors. The aging of PS350 annihilated the presence of PFRs in aged biochars of low-temperature, weakening PFR intensity. But, the aging of PS650 supplied more O-centered radicals for aged biochars of high-temperature, enhancing PFR intensity. This caused the decreased degradation on 5%PS350 and 15%PS350 (37.7–79.6% decline), whereas the increased degradation on 5%PS650 and 15%PS650 (33.3–55.8% increase). At similar intensity and species of PFRs, more adsorbed amount on fresh and aged biochars produced more degradation of PNP. Nevertheless, when PFR intensity of PS650 was much lower than that of PS350, despite high sorption capacity of PS650, the degradation amount of PS350 and PS650 was comparable. The results indicated that the reactivity of C-centered radicals of PS650 was stronger than that of O-centered radicals of PS350 in anoxic system. Overall, the interfacial reactivity of biochars was simultaneously regulated by the sorption capacity of biochars and intensity and species of PFRs. This work provides a deep perspective to the impact of biochar aging on the interfacial reactivity of PRFs to phenolic compound, which will be beneficial to accurately predict the fate of organic contaminant in carbon-rich environment.

Doping nonmetallic heteroatoms into carbonaceous materials is a proven strategy for enhancing peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation in the degradation of endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs). Understanding the role of heteroatom doping defects and intrinsic defects (topological, vacancies, or edge defects) on PMS activation is crucial for designing more efficient carbon catalysts. Herein, we synthesized nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) co-doped carbon microspheres (NPCs) through the pyrolysis of aminophosphonic acid resin (D418) precursors and utilized them to activate PMS for bisphenol A (BPA) degradation. The pyrolysis temperature was found to regulate the type and degree of defects, as well as the configuration of N and P. NPC-1000 (pyrolysis temperature at 1000 °C) exhibited the highest reaction rate constant ( k ) (1.20 × 10 −1 min −1 ) with the lowest N and P doping defects and the highest intrinsic defect intensity resulting from the removal of N and P during pyrolysis. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and correlation analysis between defect sites and k suggest that the adsorption of PMS was facilitated by graphitic N-coordinated C and intrinsic defect sites rather than P doping defect sites, resulting in the degradation of BPA through electron transfer and radical mechanisms, specifically superoxide radicals (O•–2). Excess halide anions led a significant increase of k with only a limited formation of trichloromethane (TCM) (disinfection byproducts) in presence of 100 mM Cl − . This research offers fundamental insights into constructing intrinsic defects through regulating heteroatom configuration, intending to enhance the catalytic activity of metal-free materials.

The efficient and clean utilization of low-rank lignite conforms the strategy of carbon neutral development. Herein, a two-step strategy of hard template method and co-precipitation method was designed to prepare nickel nanoparticles supported on mesoporous carbon (Ni x /MPC) using the residue from the ethanolysis of Longquan lignite for quantitative detection of p -nitrophenol (NP). The electrochemical reduction properties of modified glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) with different nickel loadings ( x = 10, 15, and 20 wt%) for NP were compared, in which Ni 15 /MPC/GCE stood out and presented better conductivity, larger electrochemical active surface area, and faster electron transfer rate. According to the differential pulse voltammetry detection results, Ni 15 /MPC/GCE displays satisfactory detection limit (1.8 µM) and far wider detection concentration range (170 ∼ 10000 µM) than other reported electrochemical sensors. Moreover, Ni 15 /MPC/GCE exhibits acceptable stability and reproducibility, and the relative standard deviation of NP detection current is only 0.71% under the interference of 100-fold concentration interfering substances. Hence, the constructed Ni 15 /MPC/GCE demonstrates a promising electrochemical sensor for detecting NP in environmental sewage.

Precious metal phosphides have attracted considerable research interest for electrocatalysis in recent years, but it remains an open question how to design such electrocatalysts to facilitate the gas-evolving water electrolysis with high activity and durability at low metal loading. In this work, rhodium phosphide nanoparticles are attached on a nitrogen/phosphorus-doped carbon cloth matrix (Rh2P-N/P-CC) with an ultralow Rh loading of 39.2 μg cm–2 to be used as an excellent bifunctional electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). By rationally integrating the merits of its two components, as-reported Rh2P-N/P-CC exhibits impressive HER catalytic performance, outperforming benchmark Pt/C catalysts at only 7.85% equivalent of Pt; meanwhile, Rh2P-N/P-CC largely surpasses the RuO2 catalyst during OER catalysis in alkaline media. As a bifunctional electrocatalyst, Rh2P-N/P-CC catalyzes stable electrochemical water splitting of 200 mA cm–1 under 1.7 V. This work reports a feasible strategy to integrate three-dimensional electrodes for high performance water electrolysis.

A BaF(p-BDC)0.5catalyst was prepared by solid state reaction at room temperature with Ba(OH)2as precursor, NH4F as F source, and H2(p-BDC) as organic ligand. The calcined samples were used as catalysts for dehydrochlorination of 1-chloro-1,1-difluoroethane to generate vinylidene fluoride (VDF) at 350 °C. Commercial production of VDF is carried out at 600–700 °C. Clearly, pyrolysis of the BaF(p-BDC)0.5catalyst provided a promising way to prepare VDF at low temperatures. Prior to calcination, the activity of the BaF(p-BDC)0.5catalyst was low. Following calcination at high temperatures, BaF(p-BDC)0.5decomposed to BaF2and BaCO3, and then the catalyst was chlorinated and fluorinated to BaClF, which showed high activity and stable VDF selectivity for dehydrochlorination of 1-Chloro-1,1-Difluoroethane to VDF.Keywords:barium fluoride;catalytic pyrolysis;dehydrochlorination;1-chloro-1,1-difluoroethane;vinylidene fluoride

A sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor for sensing 4-nitroquinoline N-oxide (4-NQO) by differential pulse voltammetry was designed. Poly L-histidine (P-L-his) composite and metal-organic framework UiO-66 (Zr) modified electrode was used as the working electrode which had large specific surface area, mesoporous structure and excellent conductivity. Unlike most modification methods, UiO-66 was electrodeposited in this study. Compared with drop coating, electrodeposition proceeds efficiently under mild conditions and often requires shorter time. FTIR, EDX, TEM, SEM and electrochemical assay were used to characterize the prepared materials and modified electrodes. After that, some experimental conditions like electro-polymerization time, deposition time, pH and scan rate were also improved and optimized separately. At the UiO-66/P-L-his-modified glassy carbon electrode, a good linear relationship between 4-NQO concentration and its peak current was obtained under the best conditions in a wide range from 0.2 to 50.0 μM, and the limit of detection (S/N = 3) was 66.7 nM. Moreover, multiple experiments elucidated that the as-synthesized sensor could be applied to detect 4-NQO in actual samples, and the recoveries results obtained were satisfactory.

In this paper, polyvinyl alcohol/starch composite films with p-coumaric acid modified chitosan (P-CS) and chitosan nanoparticles (P-CSNPs) at different concentrations were successfully prepared. The films were compared for their mechanical, thermal, physical, antioxidant, antibacterial, cytotoxicity and optical barrier properties. The results suggested that P-CS could significantly increase the tensile strength (TS) of the film from 15.67 MPa to a maximum of 24.32 MPa. The compact structure of P-CSNPs film prevented water diffusion, reducing the water amount within. Both films showed a reduction in water solubility, the extent of swelling, and water vapor transmittance. Specifically, P-CSNPs films showed better thermal stability while P-CS films revealed higher antioxidant activity. Besides, the P-CS films exhibited excellent transparency and good ultraviolet-barrier at 200−280 nm. P-CSNPs films demonstrated higher antibacterial activity on both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Additionally, P-CS films were less cytotoxic compared to P-CSNPs films.
