Hydrogen Sulfide (H 2 S) gas can cause physiological discomfort at low concentrations and is lethal at high concentrations. It is one of the major pollutants in the petrochemical industry. In this article, carbon-modified WO 3 nanoparticle gas-sensitive sensing materials were synthesized using the hydrothermal method, and high-performance H 2 S gas-sensitive sensing devices were fabricated. At a doping ratio of 2:3, the optimal working temperature for the carbon-modified WO 3 (C-WO 3 ) nanoparticles is 160 °C. It exhibits a response value of 23.7 for 10 ppm of H 2 S gas, with a response and recovery time of 6 s/64 s. The material demonstrates excellent selectivity, repeatability, and long-term stability for detecting H 2 S gas. These outstanding performance characteristics make it a promising candidate for H 2 S gas detection applications. This modification enhances the material’s gas-sensing performance and its resistance to interference. Finally, first-principles calculations revealed the mechanism behind the improvement in the H 2 S gas-sensing performance of carbon-modified WO 3 sensing materials.

Sulfide precipitation is a popular technique for the treatment and resource recovery of arsenic-containing dirty acid wastewater. However, this approach frequently suffers from toxic hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) escape and agent wastage issues. Herein, a safe and efficient technique is proposed based on a polytetrafluoroethylene membrane contactor wherein the mass transfer resistance of the gas, membrane, and liquid phases can be easily and independently regulated to control the H 2 S supply. Additionally, H 2 S is transferred in bubble-free form, fundamentally avoiding the issue of gas escape, and uniform membrane distribution contributes to evenly distributed H 2 S delivery. The results demonstrated that 99.3 % arsenic precipitation could be achieved and the H 2 S emission ratio was limited to < 0.12 %, which was significantly better than traditional methods. Thus, highly efficient separation and resource recovery of heavy metals in wastewater can be achieved using this unique and controllable low-dose H 2 S supply method. The separation factor between copper and arsenic was as high as 7490.9. This study provides a safe, reliable, and promising new approach for the treatment of arsenic-containing acidic wastewater.

To overcome high regeneration energy in conventional H 2 S capture processes, a novel non-aqueous solvent comprising sterically hindered tertiary-butylaminoethoxyethanol (TBEE) and triethylene glycol (TEG) was developed. At 30 wt% TBEE loading, exceptional H 2 S absorption capacity of 0.982 mol/mol was achieved under 0.6 bar and 293 K. Experimental characterizations combined with theoretical calculations analyses revealed that strong hydrogen-bonding networks between TBEE and TEG significantly enhanced thermal stability. Kinetic studies showed that the rate constants exhibited temperature- and pressure-dependent variations. Thermodynamic analysis using the Reaction Equilibrium Thermodynamic Model with physical absorption (RETM1-P) and van't Hoff equation obtained enthalpy (Δ H ) and entropy (Δ S ) values of −66.76 kJ/mol and −211.85 J/mol·K, respectively. Furthermore, the optimal absorption / desorption temperatures and theoretical desulfurization rate were determined. Moreover, the TBEE/TEG system show excellent recyclability with almost no significant decline in absorption capacity over ten consecutive absorption-desorption cycles, demonstrating its potential for long-term industrial application.

Efficiently removing elemental mercury (Hg 0 ) from natural gas is a serious task to both equipment safety and ecosystem. The granulation of adsorbent powder is required to reduce pressure loss and adsorbent elutriation from a fixed-bed demercuration system. Herein, urea modified CuO (Urea/CuO) pellets were developed for Hg 0 adsorption from natural gas with H 2 S. The characterization results show that the addition of urea accelerated the formation of pore structure and surface oxygen, thus enhancing the Hg 0 adsorption performance of CuO pellets. The Urea/CuO pellets with 20 % urea additive amount exhibited 93 % Hg 0 removal efficiency under the existence of 500 ppm H 2 S and a gaseous hourly space velocity of 1.21 × 10 5 h −1 . H 2 S was essential to in-situ convert Urea/CuO pellets into a highly active Hg 0 adsorbent. With the increase of H 2 S concentration from 0 to 1000 ppm, the Hg 0 removal efficiency was raised from 34 % to 93 %. Urea/CuO pellets performed well for Hg 0 adsorption at 10–50 °C, which was the representative temperature window of natural gas processing. The Hg 0 adsorption capacity and uptake rate of Urea/CuO with 500 ppm H 2 S reached as high as 27.06 mg·g −1 and 2.44 μg·g −1 ·min −1 , which largely exceeded those of commercial activated carbons specialized for Hg 0 adsorption as well as typical granulated Hg 0 adsorbents reported in previous literature. The existence of H 2 S in natural gas in-situ converted CuO into CuS. The S 2 2− on the formed CuS could act as active sites for Hg 0 adsorption, in which gaseous Hg 0 was captured as stable mercury sulfide (HgS). The deactivated adsorbent could be regenerated and reused by thermally decomposing HgS and replenishing the consumed surface oxygen and the sintering surface. With these advantages, the developed Urea/CuO pellets appears to be a promising Hg 0 adsorbent from natural gas with H 2 S.

Fuel cell gas sensors have emerged as promising advanced sensing devices owing to their advantageous features of low power consumption and cost-effectiveness. However, commercially available Pt/C electrodes pose significant challenges in terms of stability and accurate detection of low concentrations of target gases. Here, we introduce an efficient Cu–Pt/CrN-based fuel cell gas sensor, designed specifically for the ultrasensitive detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) at room temperature. Compared to the commercial Pt/C sensor, the Cu–Pt/CrN sensor exhibits excellent sensitivity (0.26 μA/ppm), with an increase in the selectivity by a factor of 2.5, and demonstrates good stability over a 2 month period. The enhanced sensing performance can be attributed to the modulation of the electronic arrangement of Pt by Cu, resulting in an augmentation of H2S adsorption. The Cu–Pt/CrN fuel cell gas sensor provides an opportunity for detecting parts per billion-level H2S in various applications.

Removing hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) via the selective oxidation has been considered an effective way to further purify the indusial sulfur-containing due to it can completely transform residual H 2 S into elemental sulfur. While N-doped porous carbon was applied to H 2 S selective oxidation, a sustainable methodology for the synthesis of efficient and stable N-doped carbon catalysts remains a difficulty, limiting its future development in large-scale applications. Herein, we present porous, honeycomb-like N-doped carbon catalysts with large specific surface areas, high pyridinic N content, and numerous structural defects for H 2 S selective oxidation prepared using reusable NaCl as the template. The as-prepared NC-10-800 catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic performance (sulfur formation rate of 784 g sulfur kg cat. −1 h −1 ), outstanding stability (> 100 h), and excellent anti-water vapor, anti-CO 2 and anti-oxidation properties, suggesting significant potential for practical industrial application. The characterization results and kinetic study demonstrate that the large surface areas and structural defects created by the molten salt at high temperature enhance the exposure of pyridinic N sites and thus accelerate the catalytic activity. Importantly, the water-soluble NaCl template could be easily washed from the carbon nanomaterials, and thus the downstream salt-containing wastewater could be subsequently reused for the dissolution of carbon precursors. This environment-friendly, low-cost, reusable salt-template strategy has significant implications for the development of N-doped carbon catalysts for practical applications.

Semiconductor metal oxides (SMOs) are widely used in gas sensing and detection due to their low cost, ease of manufacture, and portability. However, single SMO for hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) detection suffers from high operating temperatures, low sensitivity, and poor selectivity. This study focused on designing multifaceted SMO materials, and three-dimensional openwork structure YMn 1-x Fe x O 3 composites were prepared using the premixed stagnation flame method. The prepared gas sensor showed high sensitivity to H 2 S gas. Specifically, the YMn 0.7 Fe 0.3 O 3 sensor has a maximum response value of 10.55 at an optimum operating temperature of 200 °C when exposed to 30 ppm H 2 S. It also demonstrated a low detection limit of 0.94 ppm and excellent selectivity, which is advantageous for long-term practical applications. The excellent sensing performance is attributed to the three-dimensional openwork structure of the material and the successful doping of Fe 3+ into the YMnO 3 lattice. These features increase the specific surface area, which facilitates the diffusion and adsorption of H 2 S gas in the sensing layer. The YMn 1-x Fe x O 3 materials provide a viable strategy for designing highly responsive and selective SMO gas sensors for detecting H 2 S.

H 2 S selective oxidation to elemental sulfur (S 8 ) is a typical reaction where the mass product diffusion ( e.g ., S 8 ) through the catalytic bed is crucial as well as the reagents accessibility ( e.g ., H 2 S, O 2 ) to the active sites. The NaNO 3 -assisted pyrolysis of polyacrylamide was applied to synthesize defect-enriched N-doped carbon nanosheets with thickness up to c.a. 2 nm, featured by fully accessible and highly interconnected pores, for boosting the H 2 S selective oxidation process. The PAM-0.3-700 sample has revealed an unprecedented desulfurization activity with sulfur formation rate of 1165 g sulfur kg cat. −1 h −1 , other than a remarkable stability (>80 h). Experimental and theoretical studies have unveiled the critical role of edge sites containing unpaired electrons and nitrogen species with respect to the material aptitude towards O 2 dissociation and HS - activation. The material in presence of a highly interconnected porous network facilitates the reactants/product diffusion especially for catalysis operated under harsh experimental conditions.

Efficient, selective and highly sensitive detection of H 2 S is important for environmental protection and human security. Nanomaterials-based cataluminescence (CTL) sensors, especially metal-free catalysts, have been used for gas sensing. Herein, due to the efficient electron transfer and high specific area of silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ), combined with the strong electronegativity of fluorine and oxygen, we purposely synthesized F and O-modified Si 3 N 4 (F/O-Si 3 N 4 ) by engineering surface states and catalytic properties. We then used it to construct a H 2 S CTL gas sensor. Compared with other metal-based CTL sensors, the F/O-Si 3 N 4 -based CTL system exhibited high sensitivity and a longer lifetime stability. The detection limit was 0.027 μg mL −1 in the detection range of 0.49–8.17 μg mL −1 , and a relative standard deviation (RSD) of better than 3.3% were obtained. Further research demonstrated the luminescence mechanism, in which the rich oxygen vacancies of Si 3 N 4 promoted the adsorption of O 2 and the formation of F-Si sites due to the catalytic oxidation of H 2 S and the generation of SO 2 *. This served as the main emitter accounting for the strong CTL emission. This work is the first report of the application of Si 3 N 4 as a catalyst for CTL H 2 S sensing. This will expand the methods for enhancing the catalytic activity and practical applications of metal-free materials.

The continuous supply of hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) gas at high concentrations to tumors is considered a promising and safe strategy for tumor therapy. However, the absence of a durable and cost-effective H 2 S-producing donor hampers its extensive application. Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) can serve as an excellent H 2 S factory due to their ability to metabolize sulfate into H 2 S. Herein, a novel injectable chondroitin sulfate (ChS) hydrogel loaded with SRB ( [email protected] Gel) is proposed to sustainably produce H 2 S in tumor tissues to overcome the limitations of current H 2 S gas therapy. In vitro , the ChS Gel not only supports the growth of encapsulated SRB, but also supplies a sulfate source to the SRB to produce high concentrations of H 2 S for at least 7 days, resulting in mitochondrial damage and immunogenic cell death . Once injected into tumor tissue, the [email protected] Gel can constantly produce H 2 S for >5 days, significantly inhibiting tumor growth. Furthermore, such treatment activates systemic anti-tumor immune responses, suppresses the growth of distant and recurrent tumors , as well as lung metastases , meanwhile with negligible side effects. Therefore, the injectable [email protected] Gel, as a safe and long-term, self-sustained H 2 S-generating factory, provides a promising strategy for anti-tumor therapy.

Complex gas environments and the demand for room temperature detection will provide challenges for chemo-resistive-type gas sensors in a variety of applications. In this work, 2D/0D SnSe 2 /TiO 2 composite is used as a sensing material, displaying good sensitivity and specificity to ppb-level NO 2 at ambient temperature (25 °C). The response value and time of the SnSe 2 /TiO 2 sensor are 207 % and 139s when exposed to 100 ppb NO 2 , as opposed to 62 % and 183s for the pristine SnSe 2 sensor. The composite sensor also offers great long-term stability for NO 2 and good gas selectivity. Notably, the SnSe 2 /TiO 2 sensor's mixed gases (NO 2 +H 2 S) measurement is done to examine its NO 2 detection capacity in the presence of interfering gas. The constructed composite sensor can accurately detect NO 2 even if the concentration of the reductive interfering H 2 S is 66.7 times higher than that of the oxidative target NO 2 . The effective usage of SnSe 2 modified by TiO 2 for low-concentration, room-temperature NO 2 detection in a complex gas environment is shown by the composite sensor's pleasing gas detection results.

Ultrafine nanoparticles of W-doped SnO2 with an average diameter of 6 nm were fabricated via a facile hydrothermal method. The material shows a reduced particle size and enhanced response to H2S gas as compared to the pristine SnO2 nanoparticles. The detection limit can be down to 100 ppb while the response time and recovery time of the 5%-doped one are reduced to 17 s and 7 s respectively. In addition, the material shows impressive long-term stability of the response through 40 cycles of injection with 10 ppm H2S, which is attractive for designing a durable hydrogen sulfide sensor. The doping of W results in the reduction of size and modification of the electronic band structure of SnO2, which reduces the response time and recovery time and further improves the sensing durability of the materials.
