Radioactive uranium removal plays a key role in energy development and environmental security. Sulfide nanoscale zero-valent iron (S-NZVI) has good antioxidant capacity, dispersibility and activity to eliminate U(VI) from wastewater, but the removal efficiency is limited. To improve the reduction and adsorption capacity of S-NZVI, through treating Fe 3+ solution by nitro-functionalized UiO-66 (UiO-66-NO 2 ) with high porosity, UiO-66-NO 2 enhanced S-NZVI adsorbent (S-NZVI/UiO-66) was prepared by liquid phase reduction method. The smaller size and larger specific surface area of S-NZVI/UiO-66 were confirmed by a variety of characterization techniques. Based on the excellent surface structure and reactivity, the U(VI) removal capacity of S-NZVI/UiO-66 (895 mg g −1 ) was much better than S-NZVI (434 mg g −1 ) and UiO-66-NO 2 (267 mg g −1 ). The impacts of pH, background ion strength, coexisting ions and different water environments on adsorption were studied via macroscopic batch experiments. The results showed that S-NZVI/UiO-66 could remove U(VI) adequately in a wide pH range. The removal rate was basically not affected by the concentration of NaNO 3 , demonstrating that the adsorption process of U(VI) on S-NZVI/UiO-66 tended to inner surface complexation. From XPS technique combined with the results of batch adsorption experiments, it was clear that the elimination mechanisms of U(VI) by S-NZVI/UiO-66 were mainly the physical adsorption, electrostatic attraction and complexation of UiO-66-NO 2 , and the reduction and complexation of S-NZVI. Therefore, it is believed that S-NZVI/UiO-66 has a great potential to be an excellent adsorbent in the field of the environment remediation. Moreover, S-NZVI/UiO-66 promises to be a novel nanomaterial for solving the problem of radionuclide contamination in practical environments.

NO2 is a very dangerous and toxic gas and is prone to cause acid rain in high humidity environments, so it is essential to prepare a real-time monitoring and humidity immunity NO2 sensor. WO3 nanomaterials are commonly applied to detect NO2, but their poor immunity to humidity is still a critical limitation for the application. ZnO-nanorod-decorated WO3 nanosheets coated with ZIF-71 (ZnO@ZIF-71/WO3) composites prepared by an in situ growth method displayed excellent gas sensing performance and good humidity immunity to detect NO2. Compared to WO3 nanosheets and ZnO-nanorod-decorated WO3 nanosheets (ZnO/WO3) heterojunction composites grown on ceramic substrates in situ, ZnO@ZIF-71/WO3 presented excellent selectivity, good long-term stability, and a remarkably high response of about 947.96 to 100 ppm NO2 at 180 °C, which is 3.07 times higher than that of the ZnO/WO3 sensor and 4.59 times higher than that of the pure WO3 sensor. Even at a relative humidity of 85%, the response of ZnO@ZIF-71/WO3 to NO2 remained essentially constant. The functional ZIF-71 layer not only improved the humidity immunity of ZnO@ZIF-71/WO3 but also enhanced the sensitivity and selectivity performance to NO2 at low operating temperatures. The ZnO@ZIF-71/WO3 sensor still provided a response of 88.41 to 100 ppm NO2 at room temperature.

Mineral dust is an important type of ice nucleating particles in the troposphere; however, the effects of heterogeneous reactions on ice nucleation (IN) activities of mineral dust remain to be elucidated. A droplet-freezing apparatus (Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry Ice Nucleation Apparatus, GIGINA) was developed in this work to measure IN activities of atmospheric particles in the immersion freezing mode, and its performance was validated by a series of experimental characterizations. This apparatus was then employed to measure IN activities of feldspar and Arizona Test Dust (ATD) particles before and after heterogeneous reaction with NO 2 (10±0.5 ppmv) at 40% relative humidity. The surface coverage of nitrate, θ (NO 3 − ), increased to 3.1±0.2 for feldspar after reaction with NO 2 for 6 hr, and meanwhile the active site density per unit surface area ( n s ) at -20°C was reduced from 92±5 to <1.0 cm −2 by about two orders of magnitude; however, no changes in nitrate content or IN activities were observed for further increase in reaction time (up to 24 hr). Both nitrate content and IN activities changed continuously with reaction time (up to 24 hr) for ATD particles; after reaction with NO 2 for 24 hr, θ (NO 3 − ) increased to 1.4±0.1 and n s at -20°C was reduced from 20±4 to 9.7±1.9 cm −2 by a factor of ∼2. Our work suggests that heterogeneous reaction with NO 2 , an abundant reactive nitrogen species in the troposphere, may significantly reduce IN activities of mineral dust in the immersion freezing mode.

The detection of nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) is one of great significance in agricultural development and health care monitoring. It is urgent to develop a new type of NO 2 sensor with enhanced sensitivity, improved selectivity at low temperature. The search for advanced gas sensing materials to efficiently detect NO 2 gas at low temperature has much attracted the attention of researchers. Sensing materials with ultrasmall particle size is crucial to enhance response of gas sensor, and porous structure with large specific surface area is better for gas performance. In this study, SnO 2 nanoneural network material composed of ultrasmall SnO 2 nanoparticles (3 nm) was successfully obtained and has high specific surface area (96.69 m 2 ·g −1 ). The results of gas sensing test showed that the SnO 2 nanoneural network sensor exhibited excellent properties to NO 2 gas at 50 °C, including high response (72.6–10 ppm NO 2 ), good reproducibility and selectivity. In addition, the SnO 2 nanoneural network sensor has perfect moisture resistance and 12 weeks long-term stability for NO 2 detection. It proves that construction of SnO 2 nanoneural network by ultrasmall particles is an effective strategy to improve the sensing performance of NO 2 sensors, and its unique opening hierarchical structure provides a broader idea for improving the performance of gas sensors.

We reported the design of cactus-like Mo-WO 3 nanoarchitecture assembled of 1D nanoneedles and 2D nanosheets for achieving a highly improved NO 2 sensing performance. The nanoneedles were vertically studding between the nanosheets forming a cactus-like WO 3 nanoarchitecture, leading to highly exposed absorption sites. Mo was introduced in the WO 3 nanoarchitecture to introduce oxygen vacancy, resulting in highly activated sites. The resultant 2%Mo-WO 3 delivered the sensitivity (Rg/Ra) of 285 to 10 ppm NO 2 , which was nearly three-times higher than that of pristine WO 3 . The recovery time was only 24 s, which was greatly decreased, compared with 172 s of pristine WO 3 .

Soot and aged soot are often found to be mixed with atmospheric particles, which inevitably affect various atmospheric heterogeneous reactions and secondary aerosol formation. Previous studies have investigated the heterogeneous reaction of NO2with different types of soot, but there are few studies on the heterogeneous reaction of NO2with mixtures containing diesel soot (DS) or aged DS and mineral dust particles. In this study, the effects of DS and aged DS on the heterogeneous reaction of NO2on the surface of γ-Al2O3were investigated via in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectrometry (DRIFTS). The results showed that the DS or DS n-hexane extract significantly inhibited the formation of nitrate on γ-Al2O3particles and promoted the formation of nitrite. At 58% RH, with the increase of DS or DS n-hexane extract loading amount, the effect of DS or DS n-hexane extract on the formation of nitrate changed from promotion to inhibition, but DS or DS n-hexane extract always promoted the formation of nitrite. The results also showed that light was conducive to the formation of nitrate on the DS-γ-Al2O3or DS-n-hexane extract-γ-Al2O3particles. Furthermore, the influence of soot aging on the heterogeneous reaction of NO2was investigated under light and no light. In the dark, O3-aged DS-γ-Al2O3or O3-aged DS-n-hexane extract-γ-Al2O3firstly inhibited the formation of nitrate on the mixed particles and then promoted it, while the effect of aged DS on nitrite formation was complex. Under light, the O3-aged DS-γ-Al2O3firstly promoted the formation of nitrate on the mixed particles and then inhibited it, while the O3-aged DS-n-hexane extract-γ-Al2O3promoted the formation of nitrate on the mixed particles. Our results further showed that the production of nitrate on the O3-aged particles under light or no light was greater than that of the UV-nitrate-aged particles. This study is helpful to deeply understand the atmospheric chemical behavior of soot and the heterogeneous conversion of atmospheric NO2.Keywords:soot;NO2;heterogeneous reaction;aged soot;γ-Al2O3

Industrial production, environmental monitoring, and clinical medicine put forward urgent demands for high-performance gas sensors. Two-dimensional (2D) materials are regarded as promising gas-sensing materials owing to their large surface-to-volume ratio, high surface activity, and abundant surface-active sites. However, it is still challenging to achieve facilely prepared materials with high sensitivity, fast response, full recovery, and robustness in harsh environments for gas sensing. Here, a combination of experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations is performed to explore the application of tellurene in gas sensors. The prepared tellurene nanoflakes via facile liquid-phase exfoliation show an excellent response to NO2 (25 ppb, 201.8% and 150 ppb, 264.3%) and an ultralow theory detection limit (DL) of 0.214 ppb at room temperature, which is excellent compared to that of most reported 2D materials. Furthermore, tellurene sensors present a fast response (25 ppb, 83 s and 100 ppb, 26 s) and recovery (25 ppb, 458 s and 100 ppb, 290 s). The DFT calculations further clarify the reasons for enhanced electrical conductivity after NO2 adsorption because of the interfacial electron transfer from tellurene to NO2, revealing an underlying explanation for tellurene-based gas sensors. These results indicate that tellurene is eminently promising for detecting NO2 with superior sensitivity, favorable selectivity, an ultralow DL, fast response-recovery, and high stability.

Excess O 3 is invariably used to ensure the effective oxidation of NO in the industrial simultaneous desulfurization and denitration through combined ozone oxidation and absorbent scrubbing. O 3 is difficult to fully react with NO considering the short residence time of flue gas , remaining O 3 transport into the subsequent absorption device, and even its escape into the atmosphere. To study the influence of excess O 3 on NO 2 absorption in sulfite solution, we simulated an integrative process of pre-oxidation and post-absorption. NO 2 removal efficiency was improved from 36.1% to 66.5% as the mole ratio of O 3 /NO increased from 1.0 to 1.6. Additionally, the effects of temperature, pH, and reactant concentration with the remaining O 3 on NO 2 removal were evaluated. After 5 h of steady absorption, the concentration of total N species in the adsorbent was 82.8 mmol/L at a O 3 /NO mole ratio = 1.6. However, this concentration was only 51.4 mmol/L at a O 3 /NO mole ratio = 1.0, indicating that more NO 2 was absorbed, and the gas-liquid transfer of NO 2 was enhanced by the excess O 3 via oxidizing NO 2 − into NO 3 − . This work contributes to re-utilizing remaining O 3 and reducing O 3 escape in simultaneous desulfurization and denitration technology.

In order to enhance the gas response of polypyrrole to NO 2 , the polypyrrole/Fe 2 O 3 nanocomposites are synthesized by one-step hydrothermal route. The presence of ferric oxide in composites is demonstrated by XPS, HRTEM and TG analyses. The polypyrrole/Fe 2 O 3 sensor exhibits high selectivity and response to NO 2 at 50 °C. Compared with other polypyrrole/metal oxide materials, the polypyrrole/Fe 2 O 3 materials are easy to be synthesized, and the gas sensor has a higher response of 220.7%, lower detection limit of 0.1 ppm and good linear relationship when the NO 2 concentrations range from 0.1 ppm to 10 ppm. The gas response is greatly improved in comparison with the pure polypyrrole and Fe 2 O 3 . The reason for the improved response is also discussed.

In order to distinguish NO2 and SO2 gas with one sensor, we designed a paper chip assembled with a 2D g-C3N4/rGO stacking hybrid fabricated via a layer-by-layer self-assembly approach. The g-C3N4/rGO hybrid exhibited a remarkable photoelectric property due to the construction of a van der Waals heterostructure. For the first time, we have been able to selectively detect NO2 and SO2 gas using a “light on and off” strategy. Under the “light off” condition, the g-C3N4/rGO sensor exhibited a p-type semiconducting behavior with a low detection limit of 100 ppb of NO2, but with no response toward SO2. In contrast, the sensor showed n-type semiconducting behavior which could detect SO2 at concentration as low as 2 ppm under UV light irradiation. The effective electron transfer among the 2D structure of g-C3N4 and rGO nanosheets as well as highly porous structures could play an important role in gas sensing. The different sensing mechanisms at “light on and off” circumstances were also investigated in detail.

As atmospheric issues and energy crises worsen, developing environmentally friendly, low-cost, high-performance self-powered gas sensing systems for gas pollutant monitoring is crucial for the development of ecological civilization. In this work, an eco-friendly self-powered nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) sensor (EFNS) system based on an eco-friendly triboelectric nanogenerator (EF-TENG) is reported. The system comprises a power supply unit (EF-TENG) and a sensing unit (In 2 O 3 /PPy sensor), connected through a signal stabilization circuit. EF-TENG utilizes eco-friendly and biodegradable gelatin and PLA/PBAT as the friction layer. By introducing leaf structures on the gelatin surface using a template method , the output voltage and current of EF-TENG were increased by 1.44 and 1.67 times, respectively. The peak power density and root mean square power density of EF-TENG reached 1386 mW m −2 and 185.35 mW m −2 , respectively. Additionally, EF-TENG exhibited excellent long-term stability, maintaining a stable output voltage (∼24 V) after rectification and voltage stabilization treatment under conditions of 15–55°C and 40–80 % RH . Additionally, an In 2 O 3 /PPy heterostructure sensor was prepared, and the EFNS system was constructed through impedance matching effects, revealing the NO 2 response mechanism of the In 2 O 3 /PPy heterostructure . This achieved a wide detection range and highly sensitive (V g /V a = 355 %@30 ppm) detection of NO 2 . This work provides insights into eco-friendly self-powered gas sensors and sensing mechanisms, offering ideas for the development of environmental monitoring sensors and clean energy harvesting devices.

Until now, there have been many reports on the regulation of inorganic metal ions on the catalytic activity of nanozymes, but few reports on the regulation of anions (such as NO 2 − ) on enzyme activity. In this work, a copper-molybdenum doped carbon dots (Cu, Mo-CDs) with peroxidase-like (POD) activity was synthesized by simple one-step microwave digestion method. The Cu, Mo-CDs + NO 2 − system can promote 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidizing to blue oxidative product (oxTMB) due to the formation of ∙NO 2 free radical. While Hg 2+ was introduced into the system, the POD-like activity of Cu, Mo-CDs + NO 2 − system was inhibited due to the strong interaction and the electron transfer between Cu, Mo-CDs and Hg 2+ . The formation of ∙NO 2 and the electron transfer capability of Cu, Mo-CDs + Hg 2+ were confirmed through ESR spectra and FMN experiments. The bioenzyme-free colorimetric assay based on Cu, Mo-CDs nanozyme is used for detection of NO 2 − and Hg 2+ , showing lower detection limit (LOD) of 1.63 µg/L for NO 2 − , 0.13 µg/L for Hg 2+ , respectively and good recovery from 90.79 to 108.90%. The work paves a new way to design a nanozyme-based colorimetric protocol for traces NO 2 − and Hg 2+ residues in food analysis.
