Marine diesel engines produce a lot of exhaust gas (NO, SO 2 ). Based on the situation that wet scrubbing methods have been already applied to ship desulfurization and seawater is easily accessible around the ships, this paper proposed a novel AOP (advanced oxidation process) of NaClO 2 (sodium chlorite) with Cl − (abundant Cl − exist in seawater) to remove NO from the flue gases of marine engines. The buffer capacity of NaAC (sodium acetate), the effect of Cl − concentration, and Cl − promotion mechanism on NO removal were investigated. The result showed that the existence of NaAC in solution could inhibit the rapid decline of the solution pH. The addition of Cl − achieved a remarkable promotion to NO removal at lower NaClO 2 concentration, which was due to the fast generation of ClO 2 from the promotion decomposition of NaClO 2 by Cl − in acidic condition. Then, the thermodynamic and dynamic mechanism of the generation of ClO 2 was intensively analyzed. And the mechanism of NO removal was discussed finally.

A series of La 1– x Ce x MnO 3+ δ ( x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3) perovskites and Mn–Ce mixed oxides were prepared. Their physico-chemical properties were systematically characterized and the NO oxidation activities of the catalysts were investigated. The La 0.9 Ce 0.1 MnO 3+ δ has the best activity among all of the catalysts, with a maximum NO conversion of 85% at 300 °C. The characterization results indicate that the doping of Ce improves the properties of the perovskites in terms of the specific surface area, the average valence state of Mn ions, the number of reactive oxygen species and the NO x desorption behaviors. The Mn–Ce mixed oxide calcined at 500 °C shows a similar NO oxidation activity with La 0.9 Ce 0.1 MnO 3+ δ . However, the activity of the mixed oxide obtained at 750 °C decreases a lot, which results from the loss of active sites and active oxygen species.

Vascular complications caused by diabetes impair the activities of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), resulting in decreased physiological levels of nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The low bioavailability of NO and H2S hinders the endothelialization of vascular grafts. In this study, endothelium-mimicking bilayer vascular grafts were designed with spatiotemporally controlled dual releases of NO and H2S for in situ endothelialization and angiogenesis. Keratin-based H2S donor was synthesized and electrospun with poly(l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL) as the outer layer of the graft to release H2S. Hyaluronic acid, one of the major glycosaminoglycans in endothelial glycocalyx, was complexed with Cu ions as the inner layer to mimic glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and maintain long-term physiological NO flux. The synergistic effects of NO and H2S of bilayer grafts selectively promoted the regeneration and migration of human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs), while inhibiting the overproliferation of human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells (HUASMCs). Bilayer grafts could effectively prevent vascular calcification, reduce inflammation, and alleviate endothelial dysfunction. The in vivo study in a rat abdominal aorta replacement model for 1 month showed that the graft had a good patency rate and had potential for vascular remodeling in situ.

This study proposed a novel strategy to control nitrogen oxides (NOx) precursors by directing nitrogen to adhere to the fuel-N→NH 3 →N 2 pathway. The research aimed to illuminate the regulatory effects of CaO, Fe 2 O 3 , and their mixtures on NO and N 2 O precursors (NH 3 , HCN, and HNCO) during sludge pyrolysis, further sought to establish scientific correlations with varying temperatures and differentiate their impact. The findings indicated that unlike NH 3 , HNCO is generated from the cleavage of amides, sharing its origin with HCN. Notably, the sensitivities of three conditioners to different functional groups result in distinct impacts on precursor emissions. CaO interacted with –OH and N-H functional groups, releasing NH 3 . Fe 2 O 3 , being more responsive to C-H and C-C groups, contributed to HNCO emission. At 750 °C, a CaO-Fe 2 O 3 mixture created Ca x Fe y O z , which selectively reacted with N-H and C≡N, facilitating the conversion of HNCO and HCN to NH 3 . While temperature is a crucial factor in the performance of CaO, its impact on Fe 2 O 3 is primarily confined to transformation of heterocyclic and nitrile . Below 350 °C, Fe 2 O 3 favored the evolution of nitrogen into heterocyclic compounds within tar. Conversely, above 490 °C, it inhibited the formation of nitrile in char, promoting the dehydrogenation of tar into unsaturated aromatic structures. The CaO-Fe 2 O 3 mixtures exhibited a superposition of individual effects from CaO and Fe 2 O 3 , with Ca x Fe y O z stimulating N 2 emission. Importantly, among three conditioners, Fe 2 O 3 showed the most significant abatement effect on NOx precursors, primarily through nitrogen fixation in char, nitrogen enrichment in tar, and precursor oxidation. This research contributes innovative perspectives on nitrogen regulation in nitrogen-rich fuels, the utilization of NH 3 , and effective NO and N 2 O control.

Deep catalytic removal of nitrogen oxides is one of the widespread research topics, mainly limited by the low temperature activity and hydrothermal stability of the first step for NO oxidation. Oxygen vacancies (O v ) and oxygen migration capacity play a crucial role in this challenge. Particularly, tuning the Mn-O coordination environment according to the radius and valence differences of dopant ions can increase O v , while accelerate oxygen migration by constructing Pt/mullite interfaces. Here, based on the hydrothermal stability of Pt/mullite to NO oxidation, we designed Mg 2+ - and Ba 2+ -doped catalysts. And the NO oxidation performance of the Mg 2+ -doped catalyst was significantly enhanced compared to the undoped catalysts (After hydrothermal aging, turnover frequency = 1.9 s −1 at 150 °C and activation energy = 21 kJ/mol). Meanwhile, all catalysts tested with simulated diesel exhaust and the NO oxidation performance showed essentially no decrease after 16 h of hydrothermal aging at 800 °C. Furthermore, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) demonstrated the O v content of doped catalysts increased significantly. In addition, O 2 temperature programmed desorption (O 2 -TPD) and Thermogravimetry (TG) proved that the oxygen migration capacity of doped catalysts was enhanced by several times. Notably, the simple doping method is general for the modification of other mullites and worthy of industrial application.

Pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB) is an organochlorine protective fungicide with poor water solubility. In this research, pentachloronitrobenzene/hydroxypropyl- β -cyclodextrin inclusion complex nanofibers (PCNB/HP β CD-IC-NF) with a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1 were prepared by polymer-free electrospinning for the establishment of a rapidly dissolving water-based drug delivery system. It was proved that the formation of PCNB/HP β CD-IC enhanced the water solubility and thermal stability of PCNB by phase solubility study and thermogravimetric analysis respectively. Specifically, the solubility of PCNB in 10 mM HP β CD solution enhanced about 2.83 times, while the initial thermal decomposition temperature of PCNB in PCNB/HP β CD-IC-NF was also increased from 124 °C to 235 °C. The antifungal activity experiment exhibited that the antifungal activity of PCNB/HP β CD-IC-NF against Rhizoctonia solani was 2.13 times higher than that of pure PCNB. In summary, the formulation of PCNB/HP β CD-IC-NF prepared in the present study could efficaciously improve the solvability, thermal stability and antifungal activity of PCNB, thereby promoting the development of PCNB dosage form to water-based and low-pollution, which had potential in reducing the harm of PCNB to the environment and developing clean pesticide formulations.

Forming nanocomposites among different metal oxide species may lead to gas sensors with superior gas sensing properties. In this work, terbium oxide (Tb 2 O 3 ) was used to form composite nanofibers with zinc oxide (ZnO) to detect nitric oxide (NO) gas. The Tb 2 O 3 /ZnO composite nanofibers were synthesized through a facile electrospinning and annealing treatment. The heterostructure was investigated by various techniques such as XRD , SEM, TEM , and XPS , whereas the gas sensing performance of the composite nanofibers was investigated with a static gas testing system. Results showed that the Tb 2 O 3 /ZnO composite nanofiber exhibited excellent sensing performance to NO at 180 °C. Specifically, the composite nanofiber with [Tb]/[Zn] molar ratio of 0.01 had a high response of 28.3 (resistance ratio) to 1 ppm NO gas at 180 °C, with low response to other interference gases. The sensor also exhibited good repeatability and long-term stability. These remarkable sensing properties indicate that conventional ZnO is still promising for real applications via material composition and structure.

Despite great recent progress in one-way water transport (OWT) fabrics, the development of these fabrics based on roughness gradient without low surface energy materials has yet to be achieved. In this work, we prepared OWT fabrics using five polymers with hydrophobic or hydrophilic groups by constructing a roughness gradient structure along the fabric thickness. Electrospraying was used to deposit a rough layer on fabric’s single side. The surface energy gradient change across the fabric thickness derived from roughness gradient structure played a major part in determining the OWT performance. With the roughness gradient structure, even polymers with hydrophilic groups, such as polyacrylonitrile and polyamide 6, could become OWT fabrics. Besides, the layer deposited on the surface of the fabric showed no effects on the air permeability of the fabric. These novel results provided an opportunity for more polymers, especially for hydrophilic polymers, to be used to prepare OWT fabrics by designing a roughness gradient along the thickness of the fabric. The method would be applied in designing of OWT fabrics with high performance.

A number of M-Cu-ZSM-5 (M = La, Ni, La-Ni) samples were prepared via an aqueous solution ion-exchange method. The co-doping with Ni and La into a Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst enhanced the NO decomposition activity in a temperature range 350–550 °C. The characterization results indicate that doping with La effectively improved the dispersion of the Cu species forming more Cu 2+ ions in the sample, while the effect of Ni is likely to facilitate the implantation of Cu 2+ to form (Cu 2+ -O 2– -Cu 2+ ) 2+ dimers. The synergistic effect of La and Ni contributes to the increased (Cu 2+ -O 2− -Cu 2+ ) 2+ content in the co-doped sample, thus enhancing the NO decomposition activity.

The discovery of effective methods toward nitric oxide (NO) removal by solution is valuable for the cost-effective flue gas control. In this study, it is first reported that nitrous oxide (N2O) is obviously suppressed by using copper oxide (CuO) combined with (NH4)2SO3 (NS) solution. CuO has been characterized, and the effects of reactants concentration, additives, temperature, pH and powder size on NO absorption process have been evaluated. The selectivity of N2O can drop from 91.30% to 11.25% under the optimum experimental conditions. Furthermore, based on the method of single-factor analysis, the inhibition of N2O is identified as the coeffect of NS/CuO. In addition, the pathways of NO removal are divided into two parts—N2O formation and NO absorption—and its ratio is calculated in the range of 0.29–0.53. Because of the continuous supply of NS from ammonia desulfurization, this study opens the feasibility of simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification.

Compared to the generation of singlet oxygen in photodynamic therapy, photo-generation of nitric oxide (NO) would not be limited by the concentration of molecular oxygen. However, therapeutic applications of exogenous nitric oxide are usually limited by its short half-life and its vulnerability to many biological substances, thus straightforward and precise control over NO delivery may be critical to its therapeutic effects. Herein, we demonstrate a mitochondrial-targeting and photoactive NO-releasing system as an anticancer drug. Fabricated by covalently incorporating a photo-responsive NO-donor and a mitochondrial targeting ligand onto carbon dots, this nanosystem exhibits a multi-functional nature which combines mitochondrial-targeting, photocontrollable NO-releasing and cell imaging. Upon cellular internalization, the nanosystem could target mitochondria effectively. Furthermore, the system displays little dark toxicity under physiological temperature; but upon light irradiation, it could release NO, efficiently damage mitochondria and consequently cause prominent apoptosis of cancer cells. Moreover, evaluated by using MTT assay, this nanosystem shows high cytotoxicity towards two cancer cell lines. These observations provide new insights for exploiting NO in disease therapy.

MnO and CeO 2 powders were mechanically mixed by a spatula and by milling to obtain loose-contact and tight-contact mixed oxides, respectively. The monoxides and their physical mixtures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman, O 2 temperature-programmed desorption (O 2 -TPD), H 2 temperature-programmed reduction (H 2 -TPR) and NO temperature-programmed oxidation (NO-TPO). The MnO x -CeO 2 solid solutions did not form without any calcination process. The oxidation state of manganese tended to increase while the ionic valence of cerium decreased in the mixed oxides, accompanied with the formation of oxygen vacancies. This long-ranged electronic interaction occured more significantly in the tight-contact mixture of MnO and CeO 2 . The formation of more Mn 4+ and oxygen vacancies promoted the catalytic oxidation of NO in an oxygen-rich atmosphere.
