In this paper, the microstructure evolution of polymeric carbon nitride was investigated and Au ions was used to improve its photocatalytic efficiency. Their structures were investigated by FT-IR, XPS, XRD , SEM and TEM. Their specific surface area and aperture distribution were measured by BET. Meanwhile, the energy band structure and electron-hole separation efficiency were analyzed by UV–Vis and PL spectroscopy. In addition, the photocatalytic performance of the photocatalysts was assessed by photocatalytic degradation of RhB and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution . The results showed that 600-PCN possessed the best photocatalytic performance, with a degradation rate of 46.92 % in 150 min. What's more, the degradation rate of RhB solution by 2 % Au/PCN reached 47.88 %, which was 2.17 times higher than that of 550-PCN (22.01 %). During the degradation process, h + oxidatively degrade RhB. The hydrogen production rate of 2 % Au/PCN was about 11.658 μmol/g/h, which was 41.23 times higher than that of 550-PCN (0.282 μmol/g/h).

In this work, pure NiO, Al-doped NiO, W-doped NiO and a series of Al/W co-doped NiO nanoflowers were successfully prepared through a simple solvothermal method . Various characterization methods, such as XRD , SEM, TEM, HRTEM and XPS , were used to confirm the physical and chemical properties of the sensitive materials in terms of micro-nano structures, compositions and elemental distributions. The as-obtained Al/W co-doped NiO showed a nanoflower structure with an approximate size of ∼ 200 nm. What's more, among six sensors constructed from the sensitive materials, the sensor based on 3 at% Al 3+ /3 at% W 6+ co-doped NiO (3Al3W-NiO) achieved the highest response (R g /R a =112) toward 100 ppm triethylamine with a low detection limit (1 ppm) at 325 ℃. Besides, this sensor also exhibited excellent response/recovery characteristics and long-term stability. These favorable sensing performances of the 3Al/3 W co-doped NiO sensor are not only modulated by the initial resistance (R a ), but are also closely related to the large specific surface area , porous structures , low crystallinity , rich oxygen vacancies and high Ni 3+ /Ni 2+ ratio in the composite nanomaterials.

Amines with functional groups are widely used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, and polymers but most of them are still prepared through petrochemical routes. The sustainable production of amines from renewable resources, such as biomass, is thus necessary. For this reason, we developed an eco-friendly, simplified, and highly effective procedure for the preparation of a non-toxic heterogeneous catalyst based on earth-abundant metals, whose catalytic activity on the reductive amination of furfural or other derivatives (more than 24 examples) proved to be broadly available. More surprisingly, the cobalt-supported catalyst was found to be magnetically recoverable and reusable up to eight times with an excellent catalytic activity; on the other hand, the gram-scale tests catalyzed by the same catalyst exhibited the similar yield of the target products in comparison to its smaller scale, which was comparable to the commercial noble-based catalysts. Further results from a series of analytical technologies involving XRD, XPS, TEM/mapping, and in situ FTIR revealed that the structural features of the catalyst are closely in relation to its catalytic mechanisms. In simple terms, the outer graphitic shell is activated by the electronic interaction as well as the induced charge redistribution, enabling the easy substitution of the –NH2 moiety toward functionalized and structurally diverse molecules, even under very mild industrially viable and scalable conditions. Overall, this newly developed catalyst introduces the synthesis of amines from biomass-derived platforms with satisfactory selectivity and carbon balance, providing cost-effective and sustainable access to the wide applications of reductive amination.

In this work, CdO-Ag-ZnO nanocomposites with hierarchically porous structure and large surface area were successfully fabricated by solution combustion synthesis (SCS) method. Crystalline structure, morphology, surface chemical states and specific surface area were investigated by XRD , SEM, TEM, XPS and BET techniques, respectively. Sensors fabricated from CdO-Ag-ZnO nanocomposites were made based on indirect heating method, which showed superior sensing properties in detecting different concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In contrast with singular ZnO, gas-sensing experiment results reveal that the addition of CdO and Ag effectively decreases optimum working temperature, increases gas response value and shortens response and recovery time. What’s more, other gas-sensing properties including repeatability, sensitivity and long-term stability are also discussed in this research. Particularly, gas sensor based on 10 mol% CdO-Ag-ZnO shows modest gas-sensing performance to VOCs at the operating temperature of 200 °C, and its gas response values are 198.63, 156.07, 53.04, 64.23, 183.65 towards 100 ppm formaldehyde, ethanol, acetone, methanol and isopropanol, respectively, indicating it a promising candidate in detecting VOCs. Superior sensing property is mainly ascribed to large specific surface area, special porous surface morphology, unique combination of nanocomposites and good catalytic ability of metallic Ag.

Ionic liquids (ILs) were selected and applied to investigate the best coal desulfurization through orthogonal tests. FTIR, XPS, SEM and contact angle tests were used to characterize the effect on the physical and chemical structures in coal for revealing the coal desulfurization mechanism by ILs-H 2 O 2 system. The orthogonal test results showed that reaction temperature and reaction time were the main influencing factors for the desulfurization rates of coal in the ILs-H 2 O 2 system, and the ILs synergy could effectively improve the desulfurization rates of H 2 O 2 . The maximum coal desulfurization rates of [BMIM][HSO 4 ], [BMIM][OTF], and [BMIM][BF 4 ] ionic liquids were 30.7%, 30%, and 33.2%, respectively. The results indicated that the alkyl groups in coal were oxidized and the contents of oxygen-containing functional groups such as hydroxyl and carbonyl increased. Coal surface underwent swelling, the internal pores increased and new pores and cracks were generated. The wettability of coal improved substantially. In addition, the physical structures changes in coal facilitated the contact between the extractant and the sulfur-containing structures. The contents of thiols and sulfides in coal significantly decreased and were oxidized to sulfoxides and sulfones, with some further oxidized to soluble sulfites or sulfates. Thus achieving removal from coal.

The specific roles of tartaric acid (TA), as an eco-friendly ligand, in homogeneous and heterogeneous copper-catalyzed systems were systematically revealed and new mechanisms of TA enhancing the three Fenton-like processes were proposed to provide a theoretical significance in overcoming the deficiency of conventional Fenton processes. The results identified hydroxyl radical (•OH) as the main species responsible for the simultaneous decomposition of TA and metronidazole (MNZ) according to TOC removal. The ESR technique was used to detect superoxide radicals (•O 2 − ), carbon-centered radical (•R) and hydrogen radical (•H) in the Cu 2+ /TA/H 2 O 2 system, which contributed to the acceleration of the Cu 2+ /Cu + redox cycle. The enhancing effect of TA on the homogeneous process was ascribed to the formation of a soluble complex with Cu 2+ , which favored the pH range extension, Cu + oxidation , and radical generation. Moreover, the adsorption of TA on the catalysts surface promoted the consumption of H 2 O 2 , inducing •OH generation. The formed surface complex (≡Cu 2+ -TA) also accelerated the regeneration of ≡Cu + , which was confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculation and surface characterization analysis (SEM, XRD, and XPS). The possible degradation pathways of MNZ in TA-modified Fenton-like system were also clarified.

A simple and one-step microwave digestion method was utilized to synthesize the highly photoluminescent glucosamine derived nitrogen and zinc doped carbon dots (N, Zn-CDs) with a bluish-green luminescence property. The synthesized N, Zn-CDs inherited a good photoluminescence property with a quantum yield of 74% and which were characterized by XPS , XRD , TEM , FT-IR, UV–Vis, and fluorescence spectrometry . More importantly, N, Zn-CDs served as a fluorescence sensor for the detection of Fe 3+ ions, under optimal conditions, a good linear relationship was established in the concentration range of 0.25–125 μM. Also, the experimental results showed the detection limit of N, Zn-CDs against Fe 3+ was 0.15 μM, this could be a promising assay for sensing Fe 3+ ions. Also, the role of zinc doping was explored by conducting the detection under similar experimental conditions in the absence of zinc, and reports revealed that the reason for high photoluminescence was due to the zinc doping. Along with the sensing application, our group had investigated the bactericidal property of synthesized N, Zn-CDs against gram-negative ( Escherichia coli ), and gram-positive pathogens ( Staphylococcus aureus ). N, Zn-CDs displayed good bactericidal activity against both pathogens under light conditions, but Escherichia coli , even under the dark condition proved its activity. Besides, the morphology of both the strains was displayed before and after the treatment via a scanning electron microscopic images. Also, a plausible mechanism for bactericidal activity was also explained. The reported synthesis method could provide a novel approach for the design of high photoluminescent N, Zn–CDs with good sensing and bactericidal property towards Fe 3+ ions, gram-negative and positive bacterial strains .

Ion flotation was used to remove copper(II), lead(II) and chromium(III) from simulated wastewater using a new biodegradable biosurfactants, namely, sodium N-lauroylsarcosinate (LS), and the synthetic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as collectors. The use of LS resulted in better removal of metal ions than that achieved with SDS. It was found that the removal efficiency of single metal ions can reach more than 95%. The results showed that the complex formed by surfactant and metal ion was flocculent and loose in structure, which may be the main reason for the slow ion flotation speed. XPS and IR analysis showed that there was a complex reaction between the sulfonic group of SDS and the carboxyl group of LS with metal ions. These findings indicate that the new biosurfactant LS has a better treatment effect on wastewater containing heavy metal ions and compared with industrial surfactants (such as SDS), LS is degradable and environmentally friendly, potentially leading to better industrial application. DFT theory further confirmed the experimental results. The calculated results show that LS has higher complexation ability for Pb(II) than dose SDS. LS reacts with Pb to form a four-membered ring complex containing two O atoms, which has higher stability than the complex containing SDS.

In this study, we grafted brush-like CBMA copolymer brushes onto the surface of PVA hydrogel membrane through photo-induced electron transfer–reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) polymerization. ATR-FTIR, XPS , AFM , UV–Vis absorption spectra and elemental analysis were adopted to characterize the hydrogels, and equilibrium swelling, water contact angle, vitro cytotoxicity assay, protein adsorption and cells adhesion experiments were used to evaluate the related property of hydrogels. The results of ATR-FTIR and XPS showed that pCBMA was successfully grafted onto the surface of PVA hydrogel membrane. The Ra roughness of hydrogel surface in AFM increased slightly from 5.44 nm to 6.12 nm. Transmittance of the PVA-g-pCBMA hydrogel in the visible range (380 nm-780 nm) was remaining at 91.2%–97.0%. The optimal reaction conditions (CPADB: 1.20 mmol/L, Eosin Y: 0.03 mmol/L and CBMA : 358 mmol/L) were confirmed through control experiments. The equilibrium swelling and water contact angle showed that the swelling ratio increased from 2.06 cm 3 g −1 to 3.65 cm 3 g −1 , while the water contact angle decreased from 45.94° to 18.06° with the increase of grafting ratio (23.92%–55.18%). In vitro cytotoxicity assay by CCK-8 showed that the cells relative viability remained at least 90.55%. Anti-protein adsorption experiment illustrated approximately 57.2% improvement of anti-protein capacity at 37 °C, while cells adhesion experiment also showed about 64.57% improvement of anti-cells capacity. These results revealed the applicability of the oxygen tolerant PET-RAFT mechanism on the PVA modification and it was effective, feasible and non-cytotoxic method to prepare the other functional PVA hydrogel membrane.

Four hydrosoluble macroazacyclic compounds, phosphorus phthalocyanine and substituent phosphorus triaza tetrabenzo corrole substituted with amino or sulfonate groups respectively, were investigated as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 1 mol/L HCl. The results obtained from weight loss test showed that the inhibitive efficiency of phosphorus phthalocyanine was higher than the phosphorus triaza tetrabenzo corrole; while the amino substituent phosphorus phthalocyanine showed the strongest inhibitive ability among them. The potentiodynamic tests illustrated that these inhibitors protected steel according to the mixed type mechanism on electrochemistry; while the impedance spectra revealed the increasing of charge transfer resistance and the decreasing of double layer capacitor caused by the adsorption of inhibitors. The surface analysis (XPS and SEM) proved the protection of steel surface by the adsorbed inhibitors. The molecular dynamic simulation indicated the advantages of phosphorus phthalocyanine as inhibitors associating with highly binding stability and stable adsorption configuration. The unique degradation properties of these inhibitors under visible light made them useful with environmental advantage in application.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) MIL-101(Cr)-PMIDA with phosphate groups were prepared for the adsorption of U(VI). The morphology and structure of the samples were characterized by SEM, TEM, FT-IR, BET, XPS and XRD. This study investigated the effects of the initial U(VI) concentration, contact time, pH, adsorption temperature and coexisting ions on the adsorption of U(VI) by MIL-101(Cr)-PMIDA. The experimental results showed that the adsorption capacity of MIL-101(Cr)-PMIDA was 267.92 mg g −1 at C 0 (U) = 40 mg L −1 , pH = 6.0 and T = 298 K, which was much higher than that of MIL-101(Cr)-NH 2 (71.10 mg g −1 ). More importantly, the material exhibited excellent selective removal performance for U(VI) in an aqueous solution. Furthermore, adsorption thermodynamics and kinetic studies showed that the adsorption was spontaneous (∆G < 0) and exothermic (∆H ˃ 0), following the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R 2 > 0.99).

Eco-friendly and low-cost composite, amidoxime-functionalized microcrystalline cellulose/mesoporous silica (MCC/MS-AO), were synthesized by co-condensation method. The obtained materials were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and N 2 adsorption–desorption analysis. Batch experiments were carried out to study the adsorption capacity of U(VI) on MCC/MS-AO. The results show that the material has good adsorption capabilities for U(VI) including high capacity, good selectivity, and reusability. The adsorption process conforms to pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model, and it is spontaneous and endothermic. Finally, the possible adsorption mechanism was further studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. Graphical abstract
