Layered Co(OH) 2 has been regarded as a potential candidate for pseudocapacitor electrode material, but it is limited by its poor conductivity and low surface area. Herein, carbonated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) were used to improve the conductivity of α-Co(OH) 2 nanocomposites. α-Co(OH) 2 nanoflowers were successfully grown and tangled with MWCNTs-COOH to form a randomly oriented network structure mediated by ammonia using water-methanol as co-solvent at room temperature. The capacitance performances of the obtained α-Co(OH) 2 @MWCNT-COOH composites were investigated to find that MWCNT-COOH improved the specific capacitance efficiently. Especially, in the presence of 20% in mole of MWCNT-COOH, the composite gave rise to the high specific capacitance of 1027 F/g at the current density of 2 A/g with good cycle stability, whose specific capacitance remained 78% of its original even after 5000 cycles at 30 A/g current. The large surface area and strengthening the conductivity of the composites lead to the improvement of efficiency in charge/discharge process.

Heterogeneous Fenton has become a promising economical and environmentally-friendly method for water treatment, however, the production of abundant radical resources (e.g., O 2 − , OH) are oftentimes limited by finite Fe 2+ species to activate H 2 O 2 . Therefore, development of a new iron-bearing solid modified with diverse functional groups for generating a large of radicals in heterogeneous Fenton is significance. Here, we constructed a Fe 3 O 4 -modified schwertmannite (Fe 3 O 4 /Sch) catalyst to activate H 2 O 2 , SO 4 2− and O 2 to produce three kinds of radicals in heterogeneous Fenton reaction. Specifically, Fe 3 O 4 /Sch catalyst was synthesized to improve its surface properties such as the contents of surface Fe 2+ species as H 2 O 2 or O 2 activators to produce OH or O 2 − , the SO 4 2− of Sch surface as SO 4 − precursor, and electron transfer between Fe 3+ and Fe 2+ . Degradation rate of ciprofloxacin (CIP) for 6 min was up to 97% in Fe 3 O 4 /Sch-H 2 O 2 system, which was higher than that in Sch-H 2 O 2 or Fe 3 O 4 -H 2 O 2 . After four successive cyclic experiments, degradation rate of CIP was still achieved 97% within 10 min in Fe 3 O 4 /Sch-H 2 O 2 system. The formation pathways of the relevant active radicals and the degradation pathways of CIP were also proposed by theoretically calculated and LC-MS data. This finding has not only developed an efficient heterogeneous Fenton catalyst, but also given a new idea of SO 4 − generation by modified iron oxyhydroxysulfate mineral for application of heterogeneous Fenton technology.

One decisive factor for the photocatalytic performance of ZnSn(OH) 6 (ZSO) is nanoparticle morphology. However, the mechanism of the well-defined morphology preparation remains unknown, which leads to the systematic investigation of various parameters in the hydrothermal method . Here, shell-like hollow Archimedean ZSO nanocubes were prepared by a hydrothermal method under suitable conditions, with a uniform particle size distribution and superior dispersion. The effects of hydrothermal time, temperature, pH and surfactant on the microscopic morphology and photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye were investigated. The enhanced photodegradation efficiencies ( η ) of MB were 97.7%, 96.3%, 89.6%, and 96.2% for 8 h-ZSO, 120 ℃-ZSO, 2.85-ZSO, and Hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium Bromide-ZSO (CTAB-ZSO), respectively, which strongly depended on the morphology, leading to differences in physicochemical properties, such as bandgap and charge transfer resistance. The results suggested that a single change in hydrothermal time, temperature, pH, or surfactant can effectively improve the microscopic morphology and photocatalytic performance of ZSO, which may pave the way for the ingenious design of other high-performance photocatalysts . A growth mechanism was proposed for shell-like hollow ZSO prepared in an alkaline environment.

The reduce of the silicon concentration to low level (<5 mg·L −1 ) from the reverse osmosis brine wastewater is challenging and desirable for the maintain the membrane life and performance, as well as the wastewater treatment costs. This work focuses on the removal of silicon from the reverse osmosis brine wastewater by adding FeCl 3 into the plant wastewater for simultaneous Fe(OH) 3 formation and silicon adsorption. The effects of pH, FeCl 3 dosing concentration, reaction time, and temperature on the silicon removal ratio were investigated. It was demonstrated that the silicon removal ratio could reach up to 94% and its residual concentration was 3.2 mg·L −1 , which met the require of water quality in the reverse osmosis system. These results showed that Fe(OH) 3 could effectively be formed by adding FeCl 3 and realize the efficient silicon removal from the reverse osmosis brine wastewater, even when chloride ion (Cl - ), sulfate anion ( S O 4 2 - ) and nitrate ion ( N O 3 - ) were present. Moreover, the adsorption thermodynamics, kinetics and isotherms during the process of the adsorption of silicon from the wastewater by Fe(OH) 3 were studied. The calculated adsorption capacity of silicon could reach 612.74 mg·g −1 , which was much larger than those of reported adsorbents. These results showed that the silicon removal process was spontaneously exothermic and mainly controlled by the physical adsorption and the monomolecular layer adsorption. This simple and cost-effective method could be used for the silicon removal from different kinds of Si-containing wastewater.

Carbon dots (CDs) has been widely applied in LED diodes, sensing and bioimaging. However, the fluorescence property of CDs is limited because of the solid-state aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ). Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), due to their high surface area, porosity and tunable pore size, are considered suitable hosts to inhibit the ACQ of CDs. Herein, the Zr-MOFs (UiO-66-(OH)2) is chosen as a host to encapsulate CDs. The dual-emitting CDs@MOFs system is constructed, which overcomes the problem of solid-state aggregation-caused quenching of carbon dots to gain the blue-emitting CDs@UiO-66-(OH)2. With the volume of CDs increased, the fluorescence of CDs@UiO-66-(OH)2 has changed simultaneously. When the volume reaches 3 ml, CDs@UiO-66-(OH)2 begin to cause fluorescence quenching. The correlated color temperatures (CCT) of CDs@UiO-66-(OH)2 are transformed from cold light to warm light. That can be further researched in electroluminescent diodes, ion-sensor, environmental monitoring, biological imaging and developments in other related biochemical fields.

In this paper, a novel Al–Bi(OH) 3 system hydrogen-generating material is investigated. Hydrolysis experiments show that the hydrolysis properties of the Al–10 wt% Bi(OH) 3 composite are significantly improved by doping with sodium chloride, and the Al–10 wt% Bi(OH) 3 –5 wt% NaCl composite has a low activation energy (10.4 kJ mol −1 ). With the further optimization of milling time, the hydrogen yield of Al–10 wt% Bi(OH) 3 –5 wt% NaCl composite reaches 1000 mL g −1 in 1 min. X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis are applied to characterize the composite and explore the hydrolysis mechanism. The characterization results show that the activation of aluminum mainly comes from three factors: (1) The formation of alumina during ball milling plays an important role in preventing the agglomeration between Al–Bi, Al–Al and Bi–Bi; (2) Bismuth generated during ball milling can form micro-galvanic cell with aluminum to promote the corrosion of aluminum; (3) Sodium chloride as a grinding aid contributes to crush aluminum powder , and chloride ions facilitate the corrosion of aluminum in the hydrolysis process . In addition, the drying method and initial water temperature have a great influence on by-products. The composite is expected to be used in mobile emergency fuel cell due to its rapid hydrogen production capacity.

The enzyme-mimicking catalytic activity of single-atom nanozymes has been widely used in tumor treatment. However, research on alleviating metabolic diseases, such as hyperglycemia, has not been reported. Herein, we found that the single-atom Ce-N4-C-(OH)2 (SACe-N4-C-(OH)2) nanozyme promoted glucose absorption in lysosomes, resulting in increased reactive oxygen species production in HepG2 cells. Furthermore, the SACe-N4-C-(OH)2 nanozyme initiated a cascade reaction involving superoxide dismutase-, oxidase-, catalase-, and peroxidase-like activity to overcome the limitations associated with the substrate and produce •OH, thus improving glucose intolerance and insulin resistance by increasing the phosphorylation of protein kinase B and glycogen synthase kinase 3β, and the expression of glycogen synthase, promoting glycogen synthesis to improve glucose intolerance and insulin resistance in high-fat diet-induced hyperglycemic mice. Altogether, these results demonstrated that the novel nanozyme SACe-N4-C-(OH)2 alleviated the effects of hyperglycemia without evident toxicity, demonstrating its excellent clinical application potential.

Here, we report our finding in the fabrication of novel porous urchin-like Ni2/3Co1/3(CO3)1/2(OH)·0. 11H2O (denoted as NC) nanomaterial composed of numerous nanoneedles through an one-step hydrothermal method, which deliveres a high specific capacity of 318 C g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1. Moreover, an architectural composite electrode consisting of the porous NC nanoneedles wrapped by reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets exhibits large specific capacity (431 C g−1 at 1 A g−1), high rate capability and long cycling life (94% capacity retention after 5,000 cycles at 20 A g−1). The presence of rGO in the composite electrode greatly improves the electronic conductivity, providing efficient current collection for fast energy storage.

The exo-hydroxyl group (exo-OH) on isosorbide (ISB) has long been asserted as a highly reactive moiety compared with the endo-hydroxyl group (endo-OH). In this study, calculations based on density functional theory and experiments without adding catalysts reveal that endo-OH has strong nucleophilic ability, and in the case of transesterification with diphenyl carbonate, the nucleophilic attack surmounts steric hindrance in rendering endo-OH more reactive than exo-OH. The kinetics of transesterification with different catalysts is investigated to determine the catalytic reactivity and molecular structure evolution. The results show that preferential activation of exo-OH moieties can be achieved either by reducing the coordination ability of catalytic cations (lg β1) or by enhancing the alkalinity of catalytic anions. Despite the low reactivity of exo-OH on ISB monomers, terminal exo-OH on carbonate oligomers exhibits higher reactivity than terminal endo-OH, justifying the experimental fact that ISB-based polycarbonates (ISB-PCs) are mostly terminated by endo-OH. Balancing the reactivity between endo-OH and exo-OH can be promoted by increasing the reaction temperature, thus accelerating transesterification to a high equilibrium constant. These findings help to clarify the mechanism of ISB transesterification and provide new strategies for the synthesis of high-molecular-weight ISB-PCs.

Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of great importance in splitting water. However, the sluggish OER kinetics at the anode severely hinders the H 2 evolution at the cathode which is a crucial procedure for energy storage. Herein, we report the synthesis of a new OER catalyst of Co(OH) x (WO 4 ) y via a one-step hydrothermal method, where the incorporation of WO 4 2 − as a condenser greatly enhanced the electrocatalytic activity of Co(OH) 2 toward OER. Moreover, the introduction of mesoporous carbon (MC) further improves the electrocatalytic performance of Co(OH) x (WO 4 ) y by forming the nanocomposites of Co(OH) x (WO 4 ) y /MC. The synergism between Co(OH) 2 and WO 4 2 − and the synergistic catalytic effect of Co(OH) x (WO 4 ) y and MC majorly contributed to the apparently enhanced electrocatalysis of Co(OH) x (WO 4 ) y /MC toward OER. This work provides an efficient strategy to improve the electrocatalytic activity of Co(OH) 2 by introducing WO 4 2 − and forming nanocomposites between Co(OH) x (WO 4 ) y and MC for low-cost, convenient and highly efficient water oxidation.

Magnetic solid acid catalysts SO 4 2− /Zr(OH) 4 –Fe 3 O 4 were prepared using magnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles , ZrOCl 2 ·8H 2 O, and sulfuric acid as starting materials in the calcination temperature range 110–650 °C. The properties of the magnetic solid acid, such as loaded SO 4 2− content, acid distribution, surface morphology, and porous structure, were characterized. In the aqueous asymmetric aldol reaction of various benzaldehydes with strong electron-withdrawing groups (R = NO 2 and CN), good to excellent catalytic performance (83%–100% yield, 86.0%–95.6% ee anti , and anti/syn = 88–96/12–4) was achieved. These nanomagnetic solid acids can be quantitatively recycled from the reaction mixture using an external magnet and reused five times without significant loss of catalytic activity.

A high-efficient composite of flame retardant (CFR) composed of an aluminum hydroxide (ATH) core and an aluminum phosphate (AP) flower-like shell was synthesized by an in-situ growth method, which is low cost and easy-to-handle. It has been demonstrated that flame retardancy and smoke suppression of (ethylene-vinyl acetate) EVA/CFR were enhanced compared to EVA/ATH attributed to the high-efficiency heat barrier and gas isolation of ceramic char residues mainly composed of Al 2 O 3 porcelain agents and AlPO 4 sintering aids. Thus, the novel hierarchical core-shell AlPO 4 @Al(OH) 3 might supersede the ATH as flame retardants.
