Developing single-atom Fenton-like catalysts with the maximum utilization of active sites present an attractive potential in environmental remediation. Herein, the single-atom Fe and N co-doped hollow carbon microsphere loaded g-C 3 N 4 catalyst (HFeNC-g-C 3 N 4 ) was prepared by an innovative cascade anchoring strategy using polystyrene as the hard template, iron phthalocyanine, polydopamine and urea as the Fe, N and C precursor, in which the in-situ generated g-C 3 N 4 could not only effectively anchor Fe atom to create the well-dispersed Fe-N x active sites, but also accelerate the electron transfer in peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. Taking advantages of such sequential protecting strategy, the as-synthesized HFeNC-g-C 3 N 4 catalyst with single-atom Fe-N x active sites, verified by XRD , XPS and HAADF-STEM, could work as an efficient Fenton-like catalyst for PMS activation, which achieved almost 100% removal of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) in 5 min with the turnover frequency calculated to be 34.6 times higher than that of the homogeneous Fe 2+ catalyst. The mechanism of O 2 •- dominated radical combined with nonradical 1 O 2 pathway was confirmed by quenching experiments and ESR analysis, which might be interrelated to the improvement of pH adaptability and interference immunity of HFeNC-g-C 3 N 4 /PMS system. Overall, the present findings provided an innovation strategy for the synthesis of excellent single-atom Fe based catalyst in wastewater purification.

Glycolysis of poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is a promising way to recycle waste PET and produce bis-(2-hydroxyl ethyl) terephthalate (BHET), the monomer of PET. However, traditional catalysts will cause environment pollution and economic burden. In this work, based on the green and low-cost graphitic carbon nitride colloid, we developed a pseudo-homogeneous system for PET glycolysis, and poly (bisphenol A carbonate) (BPA-PC) and polylactic acid (PLA) methanolysis. Using this system, 100% conversion of PET and 80.30% yield of BHET were achieved, and the reaction time was 2-8 times shorter than that of other metal-based catalysis systems. Catalyst and ethylene glycol were reused five times directly preserving their activity. Furthermore, the degradation of real commercial plastics has also been achieved. According to FT-IR, XPS, and 1 H NMR characterization results, the nucleophilic attack ability of ethylene glycol and electrophilicity of the PET carbonyl's carbon are enhanced by the formation of hydrogen bond between ethylene glycol, PET and catalyst.

Microwave-assisted reduction of graphene oxide (GO) has been reported to be very effective in producing high-quality reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and its composites. However, either pretreatment (e.g., heating) or an external trigger (e.g., copper wire) is required to initiate the process due to the poor microwave absorption ability of GO. In this work, we report a one-step self-triggered microwave-arcing approach for synthesizing rGO composites (NiCo/rGO) for the first time. Evidenced by permittivity value, the synergic microwave absorption between GO and the metal nitrate salts is found to play an important role in initiating the process. From XRD, Raman, XPS and TEM results, it is proposed that mildly reduced rGO is firstly formed after 10 s, which further enables stronger microwave absorption to facilitate the complete reduction of GO as well as formation of well-crystallized NiCo nanoparticles about 10 nm after 90 s. The as-synthesized product shows a minimum refection loss value of − 44.48 dB with an absorption bandwidth of 3.66 GHz at 4.5 mm.

Au supported on monoclinic ZrO2 (Au/m-ZrO2) prepared by deposition–precipitation method showed excellent catalytic performance in the aerobic oxidation of amino alcohols to amino acids, i.e., glycine, alanine, serine, β-alanine, and 2-aminobutyric acid. The Au particle size and valence distribution of the gold species were adjusted by calcination temperature, as demonstrated by XRD, TEM, UV–vis DRS, XPS, and H2-TPR, which significantly influenced the catalytic activity but not the selectivity of amino acids. Metallic gold atoms on the surface were shown to be the active sites by the correlation between reaction rate per mole of metallic Au and Au particle size. The kinetics of oxidation of monoethanolamine (MEA) was studied in detail, and the results indicated that MEA oxidation is a first-order reaction with an activation energy of 52.8 kJ·mol–1.

Given that the biological treatment of antibiotic wastewater can easily induce resistant bacteria, the photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics is considered as a better method for treating antibiotic wastewater. Therefore, the ability to remove Tylosin (TYL) and Tetracycline (TC) in aqueous solution using rare earth element Tb-doped g-C 3 N 4 under simulated natural solar radiation was investigated. A series of rare earth Tb 3+ doped mesoporous g-C 3 N 4 were successfully prepared by nitric acid treatment and Tb(NO 3 ) 3 ·5H 2 O samples showed significantly higher degradation efficiency for TYL and TC than pure g-C 3 N 4 . Leaching toxicity experiments were carried out on the catalyst using chard seeds and demonstrated negligible toxicity of the leachate from the catalyst. The structure, elemental state, optical properties, morphology, and photogenerated carrier separation of the prepared xTCN catalysts were characterized by XRD, XPS, UV–Vis DRS, TEM, and PL. The results show that Tb doping enhanced the photocatalytic activity of the g-C 3 N 4 catalyst by narrowing the band gap while improving the light-trapping ability; The separation and transport rate of photogenerated carriers were significantly increased after Tb doping. Finally, a simple, efficient, and non-polluting Tb-doped carbon nitride photocatalyst is successfully developed in this paper.

The synthesis of supported transition metal oxides with satisfactory low-temperature catalytic performance and application potential is still a challenge for the complete degradation of VOCs. Ni-Cu-loaded TiO 2 catalysts were prepared by an impregnation method. The lattice defect and oxygen vacancy concentrations of the prepared materials could be tuned by controlling the Ni/Cu molar ratio and the mass proportion of the TiO 2 support. 5Ni-Cu/TiO 2 exhibited the best catalytic activity and showed superior catalytic stability during complete toluene oxidation . The obtained catalysts were fully characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TEM, N 2 adsorption analysis, XPS, H 2 -TPR, O 2 -TPD, TPD analysis, and XPS. The 5Ni-Cu/TiO 2 catalyst had improved pore sizes and specific surface area, had more oxygen vacancies on its surface, had increased concentrations of adsorbed and lattice oxygen species, and had good redox properties; these characteristics were favorable for low-temperature catalytic performance and catalytic stability. Cyclic transformations of metal valence states between Cu + and Cu and between Ni and Ni 2+ were observed in the catalytic system. A potential catalytic reaction process based on the M-vK mechanism was proposed. This work serves as a reference for the application of supported transition metal catalysts for the degradation of VOCs.

The discharge of industrial heavy metal wastewater not only leads to environmental pollution, but also harms human health, so it is imperative to control heavy metal pollution. In the current work, a sequence of anatase/brookite TiO 2 @COF with different mass ratios, bi-phase TiO 2 and bare COF were successfully synthesized by simple hydrothermal synthesis. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared catalysts was assessed by reducing Cr(Ⅵ) in model pollutant (K 2 Cr 2 O 7 ). Under the condition of pH = 3, the Cr(Ⅵ) reduction rate of TiO 2 @COF-4 was as high as 99.19% in 30 min. The photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 @COF-4 remained stable in four consecutive cycles, suggesting that it has a potential application prospect for the removal of Cr(Ⅵ) in the actual environment. The morphology and structure of photocatalysts were observed by different techniques (SEM/EDS, HRTEM, BET analysis, XRD, FTIR and XPS). The specific reasons for the enhancement of photocatalytic performance of materials were explored by different methods (PL, UV–vis DRS, Mott-Schottky plots, I-T curves and EIS). Finally, we concluded that the photocatalytic system of TiO 2 @COF-4 may follow the typical direct Z- scheme mechanism. This work provides an effective solution for the water treatment of heavy metal pollution.

Highly dispersed palladium nanoparticles (NPs) supported on UiO-66 as catalyst for CO 2 methanation were prepared by supercritical fluid deposition (SFD). As a result, the most suitable Pd precursor salt and co-solvent are Na 2 PdCl 4 and ethanol/DMF, respectively. The best SFD process condition to deposit the Pd precursor on UiO-66 is 40 °C, 10 MPa and 2 h. Under the above condition, 4% Pd/UiO-66 exhibits the highest activity with 53% of CO 2 conversion and 95% of CH 4 selectivity while the turnover frequency (TOF) value is 3669.4 h −1 . The catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, TEM, XPS, TGA, CO-DRIFTS and ICP-OES to investigate the structure–activity relationship. The 4% Pd/UiO-66 with the average size of 2.2 nm of Pd prepared in assistance of supercritical fluid behaved the similar activity as the 6%Pd/UiO-66 with average size of 9.7 nm of Pd prepared by sol–gel method. It is showed prospect of technique for reducing noble metal loading resulting from high dispersion effect.

The corrosion inhibition behavior and adsorption mechanism of three novel synthetic surfactants in 1 M HCl solution on carbon steel were investigated. The PP results confirmed that all the synthetic surfactants behave as mixed-type inhibitors, while the EIS results validated the existence of a protective layer by the adsorption of inhibitor molecules on the carbon surface. T 3 was observed to offer the highest inhibition efficiency ( η w , 96.28%) at 1 mM by the static weight loss measurements due to two different hydrophobic chains which form a more compact film with the crosswise arrangement. SEM/EDS and XPS results revealed the formation of the surfactants film on the carbon steel surface. Molecular dynamics simulation (MD) was further executed to determine the adsorption mechanism in molecular level insights. In addition, a linear correlation between surface activity ( γ ) and corrosion inhibition efficiency ( η w ) was verified. The adsorption of the prepared surfactants followed the Freundlich isotherm at different concentration ranges. Moreover, the bilayer/multilayer adsorption mechanism was also proposed and confirmed by experimental, adsorption isotherm studies and MD. Hence, both MD simulations and experimental results revealed the analogous inhibition with the order follows: T 3 > T 2 > T 1 .

Highly monodisperse PMMA microspheres have been synthesized by photoinitiated RAFT dispersion polymerization in the presence of a Macro-RAFT agent and a small molecular RAFT agent. A particle yield of over 90% was achieved within 3 h under UV irradiation at room temperature. The Macro-RAFT agent acts as a stabilizer and stabilizes the particles via formation of block copolymers in situ, and XPS analysis shows that about 29.9% of the particle surface was covered by the stabilizer. Various surface functional microspheres were prepared by using four kinds of Macro-RAFT agents, including poly(methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) acrylate)-based trithiocarbonate (P(mPEGA)-TTC), poly(methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) acrylate-co-acrylic acid)-based trithiocarbonate (P(mPEGA-co-AA)-TTC), poly(acrylic acid)-based trithiocarbonate (PAA-TTC), and poly(methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) acrylate-co-4-vinylpyridine)-based trithiocarbonate (P(mPEGA-co-4VP)-TTC). Ag/PMMA nanocomposite spheres were prepared using the P(mPEGA-co-AA)-TTC stabilized microspheres. The PAA-TTC stabilized microspheres showed pH sensitivity. The colloidal stability of the particles prepared by this photoinitiated RAFT dispersion polymerization was also investigated.

A series of Mn/CeSiOx catalysts were prepared by the wet impregnation method and used for selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3. As can be seen from the experimental results, the Mn/CeSiOx catalyst with a Ce/Si molar ratio of 2/1 showed excellent low-temperature SCR activity, high N2 selectivity and excellent SO2 and H2O tolerance. The relationship between the CeSiOx support and the SCR performance of Mn/CeSiOx (2 : 1) catalyst was investigated based on the characterization results of N2 adsorption, XRD, XPS, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD and in situ DRIFT. The strong interaction between Ce and Si resulted in the good dispersion of Mn species on the support; correspondingly, the redox ability and NH3 adsorption capacity were greatly enhanced. The results of in situ DRIFT study revealed that the NH3-SCR reactions over Mn/CeO2 and Mn/CeSiOx (2 : 1) mainly obeyed both the E–R mechanism and the L–H mechanism. Furthermore, the formation of more Mn4+ and chemisorbed oxygen greatly facilitates the oxidation of NO to NO2, as a result, promoting the low-temperature SCR performance of Mn/CeSiOx (2 : 1).
