Ceramic dentures differ from those produced by additive manufacturing, and manual polishing is employed for ceramic dentures due to their hard-brittle nature, complex shapes, and thin-walled structures with thicknesses less than 1.0 mm. This presents challenges for the medical and manufacturing industries. To address these challenges, we prepared a novel ternary composite of Fe 3 O 4 @TiO 2 @PB (Prussian blue) to establish a photo-Fenton system. This composite enhances the transport of photogenerated electrons and facilitates the generation of radicals, demonstrating high photocatalytic activity for the polishing and degradation of pollutants without the need for sacrificial agents. Meanwhile, Fe 3 O 4 @TiO 2 @PB was utilized to develop a new photocatalytic magnetorheological polishing slurry. The slurry consisted of sorbitol, hydrogen peroxide, Fe 3 O 4 @TiO 2 @PB, and ceria (0.025 wt. %). After polishing, the surface roughness (Sa) decreased from 5.538 to 0.081 μm, representing a reduction of 98.54 % compared to the pristine surface. Due to photogenerated hydroxyl radicals, the Si-OH and Li-OH bonds can be created on the surface of the ceramic dentures, facilitating defects removal. Before and after polishing, the ceramic dentures enhanced the inhibition rates of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus from 50 % to 74 % and from 49 % to 80 % over the course of one day, respectively. Through irradiation with simulated sunlight, Fe 3 O 4 @TiO 2 @PB generates electrons, holes, and hydroxyl radicals, leading to the degradation of amoxicillin (AMOX) and polysorbate (PS20) by up to 99 % within 60 min. Additionally, Fe 3 O 4 @TiO 2 @PB was successfully separated and reused from the developed slurry. Therefore, the designed and developed novel ternary composite, Fe 3 O 4 @TiO 2 @PB, achieves photocatalysis, photodegradation, and recycling, offering new solutions for the medical, manufacturing, and environmental industries.

A Ni–Mg bimetal-doped Zn(O,S) photocatalyst has been synthesized, characterized, and tested for several photocatalytic applications. The hydrogen generation reaction, hydrogenation reaction for chemical transformation, detoxification of hexavalent chromium, and mixed dye (MB + RhB + MO) degradation under simulated solar-light illumination were confirmed. The essential characterization results indicated improved oxygen vacancy sites on the catalyst with enhanced photoresponse, better photocarrier separation, and facile charge transfer properties. A typical catalyst, NMZ-S10, was evaluated with a 1000-cycle CV test to demonstrate its long-term use for industrial application. Stable reusability experiments for the HER, PHR, PHC reaction, and PDM also supported the long-term application. The photocatalytic HER of NMZ-S10 could evolve hydrogen at a rate of 4000 μmol g−1 h−1. 30 ppm azobenzene-to-aniline conversion was completely done in 2 h of reaction. Detoxification of 30 ppm hexavalent chromium was conducted in 70 min of reaction. Finally, 10.5 ppm MB–RhB–MO mixed dye degradation was carried out in 1 h of reaction. The as-synthesized NMZ-S10 catalyst has demonstrated its capability to overcome energy and environmental issues promisingly. The great photocatalytic activities are discussed and elucidated with a plausible mechanism to rationalize the superb catalytic performance.

In this paper, a sol–gel made Ce–O–P catalyst (referred to as Ce–O–P-SG) was employed for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with NH3, which was directly compared with two other Ce–O–P samples as synthesized via hydrothermal and coprecipitation routes (referred to as Ce–O–P-HT and Ce–O–P-CP, respectively). Experimental results revealed that the Ce–O–P-SG catalyst yielded a more than 90% NO conversion at 200 °C in the presence of 10 vol % H2O, whereas Ce–O–P-HT and Ce–O–P-CP catalysts only showed 50% and 20% NO conversions under the same conditions, respectively. After subjected to a series of characterization technologies (e.g., XRD, BET-BJH, XPS, NH3-TPD, py-IR, and H2-TPR), it was found that more enriched surface Ce(4+) species were formed except for the two main CePO4 phases (monazite and rhabdophane phases) of the Ce–O–P-SG catalyst compared to the other two samples, resulting in the increase of surficial active oxygen ions content. This could lead to an enhancement in surface acidity and redox capacity of the Ce–O–P-SG catalyst, effectively promoting the NH3–SCR activity of the catalyst. Further analyses on SO2 and H2O tolerance revealed that the Ce–O–P-SG possessed a higher sulfur resistance than the other two samples, which could be attributed to the SO2 trapping effect by the abundant active oxygen species over Ce–O–P-SG catalyst.

Metal oxyhalides have attracted extensive attention as fascinating nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Here, two barium niobium oxyfluorides, Ba3Nb2O2F12(H2O)2 (1) and Ba0.5NbO2F2(H2O) (2), have been obtained by regulating the O/F ratio in Nb–O–F units (NbOF6 pyramids to NbO4F2 octahedra). The overall NLO effect is improved from 1 to 2 with larger second-harmonic generation (SHG) intensities (0.9 to 1.7 × KH2PO4 (KDP)) and maintainable large band gaps (>3.0 eV) by regulating the O/F ratio in Nb–O–F units (1:6 to 4:2).

Currently, the search for the fabrication of inexpensive and efficient binder-free electrodes for high performance supercapacitor applications is still a great challenge. In this work, different nanostructures of Ni–Mn oxide (Ni–Mn–O) are directly grown on the surface of flexible electrospun carbon nanofibers (ECNFs) and further used as binder-free electrodes for supercapacitors. Among three typical nanostructures, Ni–Mn–O nanosheets on ECNFs show superior electrochemical properties with a good specific capacitance (368.6 F g−1) and excellent rate properties (88.6% retention at 20 times initial current density) in a three-electrode system. Furthermore, an aqueous symmetry cell and a solid-state symmetry supercapacitor are assembled using two pieces of flexible ECNFs@Ni–Mn–O nanosheets. The maximum energy density and power density based on the solid-state supercapacitor are up to 20.4 W h kg−1 and 5.2 kW kg−1, respectively, indicating that the flexible ECNFs@Ni–Mn–O nanosheets present a fairly promising future for practical applications in the field of energy storage.

Phenol is an important commodity chemical in the industry, which is currently produced using fossil feedstocks. Here, we report a strategy to produce phenol from lignin by directly deconstructing C sp2 –C sp3 and C–O bonds under mild conditions. It was found that zeolite catalyst could efficiently catalyze both the direct C sp2 –C sp3 bond breakage to remove propyl structure and aliphatic β carbon–oxygen (C β– O) bond hydrolysis to form OH group on the aromatic ring. The yield of phenol could reach 10.9 weight % with a selectivity of 91.8%. In this unique route, water was the only reactant besides lignin. A scale-up experiment showed that 4.1 g of pure phenol could be obtained from 50.0 g of lignin. The reaction pathway was proposed by a combination of control experiments and density functional theory studies. This work opens the way for producing phenol from lignin by direct transformation of C sp2 –C sp3 and C–O bonds in lignin.

The oxidized platinum (Pt) can exhibit better electrocatalytic activity than metallic Pt 0 in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), which has aroused great interest in exploring the role of oxygen in Pt-based catalysts. Herein, we select two structurally well-defined polyoxometalates Na 5 [H 3 Pt (IV) W 6 O 24 ] (PtW 6 O 24 ) and Na 3 K 5 [Pt (II) 2 (W 5 O 18 ) 2 ] (Pt 2 (W 5 O 18 ) 2 ) as the platinum oxide model to investigate the HER performance. Electrocatalytic experiments show the mass activities of PtW 6 O 24 /C and Pt 2 (W 5 O 18 ) 2 /C are 20.175 A mg −1 and 10.976 A mg −1 at 77 mV, respectively, which are better than that of commercial 20% Pt/C (0.398 A mg −1 ). The in situ synchrotron radiation experiments and DFT calculations suggest that the elongated Pt-O bond acts as the active site during the HER process, which can accelerate the coupling of proton and electron and the rapid release of H 2 . This work complements the knowledge boundary of Pt-based electrocatalytic HER, and suggests another way to update the state-of-the-art electrocatalyst.

In this study, Bi₂O₂Se nanosheets were synthesized via a hydrothermal method, and a Bi₂O₂Se/WSe₂ heterostructure was subsequently constructed using a mechanical compounding approach to develop a photoelectrochemical photodetector. By optimizing the mass ratio and KOH electrolyte concentration, the Bi₂O₂Se/WSe₂ heterostructure exhibited optimal performance at a 7:1 ratio in 0.1 M KOH. Benefiting from the interfacial heterojunction between the two materials, the Bi₂O₂Se/WSe₂ heterostructure achieved a photocurrent density of -2.74 µA/cm² under zero external bias, representing an order-of-magnitude enhancement compared to pristine Bi₂O₂Se nanosheets. Concurrently, the rise time was significantly reduced from 0.86 s to 0.28 s, And the decay time decreased from 4.85 s to 0.32 s, demonstrating superior self-powered characteristics. Furthermore, the Bi₂O₂Se/WSe₂ heterostructure exhibited a maximum photoresponsivity of 61 µA/W. The optimized Bi₂O₂Se/WSe₂ photodetector showed no notable performance degradation during a 10,000 s cyclic on/off illumination test. This work highlights the immense potential of the Bi₂O₂Se/WSe₂ heterostructure-based self-powered photodetector in delivering exceptional self-driven functionality, outstanding optoelectronic properties, and robust stability for practical applications.

Strategies for catalytic lignin depolymerization to yield ethylbenzene chemicals are green, sustainable and environmentally friendly methods. In this study, a series of Ni-CeO 2 /H-ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared via the precipitation method, which catalytically degraded the β-O-4 chemical bonding structure to yield ethylbenzene chemicals. The 2-(2-methoxy-phenoxy)-1-phenylethanol substance (β-O-4) was selected as a typical lignin model compound for the investigation of the intrinsic depolymerization mechanism and the catalytic performance. The results demonstrated that the introduced CeO 2 active phase can effectively promote the catalytic conversion of the β-O-4 chemical bonding structure to ethylbenzene chemicals. Physicochemical data demonstrate that the reaction pathways and hydrogenation selectivity were effectively regulated and controlled by the tuning of the dehydration and hydrogenolysis processes via the introduction of CeO 2 , which realized the selective adjustment of the redox properties and the surface valence states of active species in the catalytic process due to its excellent oxygen transfer performance.

In late-stage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), impaired islet β cell function leads to absolute insulin deficiency, thereby disrupting blood glucose homeostasis. GLP-1, an incretin hormone, stimulates insulin secretion from islet β cells post-meals. This study investigated the effects of anthocyanin cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) on GLP-1 secretion using STC-1 (intestinal endocrine L cells) and NIT-1 (islet β cells). In a co-culture system, C3G treatment increased GLP-1 secretion in STC-1 cells, promoting insulin release in NIT-1 cells under high glucose. Mechanistically, C3G activated the PPARβ/δ-β-catenin-TCF-4 pathway in STC-1 cells, enhancing PG precursor transcription and GLP-1 synthesis.Inhibiting PPARβ/δ with GSK0660 blocked this C3G-induced upregulation. Overall, C3G stimulates GLP-1 secretion from intestinal L cells via this pathway, indirectly boosting insulin release from β cells. These findings enhance T2DM mechanism understanding and suggest the potential of C3G in GLP-1-based T2DM therapy.

Currently, the hydrogen storage application of carbon-based adsorbent materials is mostly implemented under the pressure conditions of 30–300 bar, while there is few targeted studies conducted on the unsaturated adsorption under ambient pressure conditions. Therefore, based on industrialized Lyocell biopolymer fiber precursors and the enhancement effects of dipole-induced hydrogen bonds (DIHB), this work presents a facile construction strategy for P/O co-doped Lyocell-based porous carbon fiber cloth (Ly-ACF-F40). By the technical route of thermal stabilization---sonication assisted phosphoric acid activation---hydrogen bonds introduced by interfacial fluorination, the constructed Ly-ACF-F40 acquires a high specific surface area (1870 m 2 /g) and total pore volume (1.277 cm 3 /g), and an excellent hydrogen storage capacity of 3.22 wt% under ambient pressure conditions (77 K, 1 bar). The study directly demonstrated in the experiment that dipole induced hydrogen bonding H(I)-H(II)···F can effectively enhance the atmospheric hydrogen storage density on the basis of other eliminating influencing factors of specific surface area. The simple construction strategy of porous carbon-based materials can provide reference for the research of unsaturated adsorption hydrogen storage materials under ambient pressure conditions, also assist in the application and promotion of low-cost solid hydrogen storage materials.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries can provide far higher energy density than currently commercialized lithium ion batteries, but challenges remain before it they are used in practice. One of the challenges is the shuttle effect that originates from soluble intermediates, like lithium polysulfides. To address this issue, we report a novel laminar composite, N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan-reduced graphene oxide (CC-rGO), which is manufactured via the self-assembly of CC onto GO and subsequent reduction of GO under an extreme condition of 1 Pa and −50 °C. The synthesized laminar CC-rGO composite is mixed with acetylene black (AB) and coated on a commercial polypropylene (PP) membrane, resulting in a separator (CC-rGO/AB/PP) that can not only completely suppress the polysulfides penetration, but also can accelerate the lithium ion transportation, providing a Li-S battery with excellent cyclic stability and rate capability. As confirmed by theoretic simulations, this unique feature of CC-rGO is attributed to its strong repulsive interaction to polysulfide anions and its benefit for fast lithium ion transportation through the paths paved by the heteroatoms in CC.
