Recycling strategies for mixed plastics and textile blends currently aim for recycling only one of the components. Here, we demonstrate a water coupling strategy to co-hydrolyze polyester/cotton textile blends into polymer monomers and platform chemicals in gamma-valerolactone. The blends display a proclivity for achieving an augmented 5-hydroxymethylfurfural yield relative to the degradation of cotton alone. Controlled experiments and preliminary mechanistic studies underscore that the primary driver behind this heightened conversion rate lies in the internal water circulation. The swelling and dissolving effect of gamma-valerolactone on polyester enables a fast hydrolysis of polyester at much lower concentration of acid than the one in the traditional hydrolysis methods, effectively mitigating the excessive degradation of cotton-derived product and undesirable product formation. In addition, the system is also applicable to different kinds of blends and PET mixed plastics. This strategy develops an attractive path for managing end-of-life textiles in a sustainable and efficient way.

Lignin accounted for the second largest amount in biomass, and was regarded as an important carbon source and important renewable source for value-added chemicals. Herein, a series of lignin-derived carbon-based heterogeneous catalyst was synthesized through a simple hydrothermal method , using Co-MOFs as template. Lignin was introduced as a carbon material into MOF catalysts. Through some characterizations, it has been proven that lignin has been successfully introduced into MOF materials and significantly improved the catalyst performance. Then, lignin-MOF derived catalysts (Co/C-EL-X) were successfully introduced into the catalytic hydrodeoxygenation of lignin-derived phenols . The addition of enzymatic hydrolysis lignin (EL) in catalysts, calcination temperature and some other factors were investigated in detail, considering the catalytic performance during the HDO of vanillin and other typical lignin-derived phenols. Co/C-EL-0.5(500) exhibited the best catalytic performance for the conversion of different kinds of lignin-derived phenols to either 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol (MMP) or cyclohexanol . Under the optimal conditions of 240 °C, 0 MPa N 2 , and 2 h, the conversion rate of vanillin reached 100 %, and the yield of 4-methyl-2-methoxyphenol (MMP) was up to 92 %. Furthermore, vanillin could also be converted into 4-methylcyclohexanol (MCYL) by changing the initial nitrogen pressure. Also, Co/C-EL-0.5 (500) exhibited high activity for the conversion of other lignin-derived phenols into cyclohexanol (COL). This work provided a novel strategy for the catalytic valorization of lignin sources.

Microwave dielectric ceramics (MWDCs) are essential in low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology, necessitating a low sintering temperature, low dielectric constant ( ε r ), and high quality factor ( Qf ). On the other hand, the mismatch in the coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) between MWDCs and electrodes poses reliability challenges. Here, we report BaF 2 -LiF ceramics to address the need for low- ε r , high- Qf materials with high CTEs. The BaF 2 -LiF ceramics exhibit improved properties, including a substantial decrease in sintering temperature from 1,025°C to 700°C, enhanced relative density from 90.8% to 97.3%, and optimized Qf values increased by 20%. Moreover, the resulting ceramics demonstrate a high CTE of 20.6 ppm/°C, ensuring compatibility with polymer-based laminates and metal electrodes. Additionally, the BaF 2 -LiF ceramics serve as a promising dielectric resonator for high-performance millimeter-wave antennas. This study presents a comprehensive approach to optimize BaF 2 ceramics, addressing key parameters for high-reliability LTCC electronics and millimeter-wave antenna applications.

Protein crystals have advantageous properties as framework materials, such as porosity and organized, high-density functional groups with the potential for guest specificity. Thus, protein crystal materials open up vast opportunities for fluorescent species doping and drug sensing. In this work, we explore this frontier by combining two lanthanide complexes with hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) and directly obtaining co deposited structures in one step using an anti-solvent method different from the previous two-step method. Cross-linking of the protein was achieved using glutaraldehyde, ensuring the stability of the assembly in diverse solvent environments. The use of glutaraldehyde achieved protein cross-linking, ensuring the stability of the components in various solvent environments, including no leakage of fluorescent substances in ultrapure water and anhydrous ethanol. Differential fluorescence quenching effects of amino acids on the two doped luminescent complexes were observed. Introduction of amino acids, varying in concentration and type, resulted in distinct fluorescence enhancement or quenching effects on the protein assembly loaded with the complexes, and the detection results are reflected through different fitting equations and parameters. By exploring the application of this hybrid material for amino acid detection, this work lays the groundwork for broader applications.

Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys face challenges in clinical applications due to their high degradation rates and low antibacterial properties. To overcome these challenges, this study employed an electrolyte containing elements such as F, Ca, P, Si, Sr, and Ag to perform soft spark micro-arc oxidation (MAO) on ZrO 2 –AZ91D Mg alloy. The research encompassed analysis of the MAO process, characterization of the composite coating's phase composition and elemental valence states, measurement of the physicochemical properties of the coating, as well as evaluation of biological properties including cell adhesion, protein adsorption, cytotoxicity, and antibacterial activity. This study investigated the mechanisms underlying osteogenesis and antibacterial effects of co-doped coatings, and examined the influence of bioactive elements on the performance of MAO coatings. The results demonstrated that the co-doped F/Ca/Sr/Ag particle-containing MAO composite coating exhibited excellent wettability and corrosion resistance. Additionally, the coating displayed remarkable protein adsorption capacity, superior adhesion to MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells, and excellent antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus, all while showing negligible toxicity.

Biomass pyrolysis has the potential to be transformed into valuable chemicals and fuels. Nitrogenous chemicals exert a substantial influence on the quality of bio-oil. Studying the impact of lignin on the transformation of nitrogen-containing elements in biomass during biomass pyrolysis is crucial for achieving efficient and effective utilization of biomass resources. In this study, tube furnace experiments, thermogravimetric infrared experiments (TG-FTIR), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) were used to investigate the interactions of typical lignins (vanillin and syringol), nitrogenous components (glutamic acid), and the effect of lignin on the pyrolysis gas release of glutamic acid and the pyrolysis products during the co-pyrolysis process. In addition, the impact of lignin on the effect of pyrrolidone formation from glutamic acid was investigated in this study in conjunction with quantum chemical calculations. The experimental findings demonstrated that the co-pyrolysis of lignin and glutamic acid resulted in a reduction in the pyrolysis temperature. This reduction facilitated the release of HCN, NH 3 , and CO 2 while notably impeding the formation of nitrogen-containing compounds in the oil. The nitrogen concentration in the pyrolysis oil declined from 97 % to a range of 51.06–79.63 %, and the inhibitory impact decreased as the pyrolysis temperature increased. At an elevated pyrolysis temperature of 800 °C, lignin facilitated the decarboxylation process of glutamic acid, resulting in an increased production of pyrrolidone.Simulation results demonstrated that the lowest energy barrier paths were the dehydration condensation process and the Maillard reaction involving glutamic acid and lignin and their pyrolysis intermediates, with a particular competitive connection between the two pathways. The results explained the interaction mechanism between the two pyrolysis products and provided a fundamental theoretical basis for nitrogen conversion in biomass pyrolysis.

The superior tribological properties of bearings with low friction appear to be actualized by not a single lubrication , but the adaptive multi-mode co-lubrication in which the interface can adjust according to the friction conditions . This study attempts to reveal the friction adaptive mechanism of textures under grease lubrication. The single-stage linear groove surfaces (SLGSs) and the multi-stage bionic texture surfaces (MBTSs) were respectively designed, and MXenes lithium composite grease (MLCG) with MXenes as an additive was prepared. Compared with the non-textured surface, the friction coefficient of MBTS-1.5 is reduced by 67.6%, and the wear rate is reduced by 45.4%. The friction contact area presents an adaptive multi-mode lubrication trend from oil to grease-solid synergistic lubrication.

The capacity of Co-free Li-rich Mn-based layered oxide decreases rapidly due to the irreversible lattice oxygen lose and the crystal structure change. The sodium modified cathode materials are synthesized via the sol–gel method and the electrochemical properties are investigated. Specifically, the first discharge capacity of Li 1.18 Na 0.02 Mn 0.54 Ni 0.26 O 2 is 150.5 mAh·g −1 at 2C, demonstrating a capacity preservation rate of 94.1 % after 100 cycles. And the diffusion coefficient of Li 1.18 Na 0.02 Mn 0.54 Ni 0.26 O 2 is 1.2152 × 10 -15 , which is better than 1.3798 × 10 -16 of the undoped material. This work demonstrates that appropriate Na + doping can stabilize the crystal structure, increase the lithium layer spacing and reduce the irrevocable escape of lattice oxygen within material.

Revealing the synergistic catalytic mechanism involving multiple active centers is crucial for understanding multiphase catalysis. However, the complex structures of catalysts and interfacial environments pose a challenge in thoroughly exploring the experimental evidence. This study reports the utilization of a CuNi dual-atom catalyst (Cu/Ni–NC) for the electrochemical reduction of CO2. It demonstrates a high Faradaic efficiency of CO exceeding 99%, remarkable reaction activity with a partial current density surpassing –300 mA cm–2, and prolonged stability for more than 5 days at a current density of –200 mA·cm–2. Operando characterization techniques and density functional theory calculations reveal that Ni atoms function as active sites for the activation and hydrogenation of CO2, while Cu atoms serve as active sites for the dissociation of H2O, supplying protons for the subsequent hydrogenation process. Moreover, the electronic interactions between Ni and Cu atoms facilitate the formation of *COOH and the dissociation of H2O, illustrating a synergistic reduction of CO2 at the dual-atom sites.

Achieving selective detection of ppb-level CO is important for air quality testing at industrial sites to ensure personal safety. Noble metal doping enhances charge transfer, which in turn reduces the detection limit of metal oxide gas sensors. In this work, metal–organic framework-derived Au-doped In2O3 nanotubes with high electrical conductivity are synthesized by pyrolysis of the Au-doped metal–organic framework (In-MIL-68) as a template. Gas-sensing experiments reveal that the detection limit of 0.2% Au-doped In2O3 nanotubes (0.2% Au, mass fraction) is as low as 750 ppb. Meanwhile, the sensing material shows a response value of 18.2 to 50 ppm of CO at 240 °C, which is about 2.8 times higher than that of pure In2O3. Meanwhile, the response and recovery times are short (37 s/86 s). The gas-sensing mechanism of CO is uncovered by in situ DRIFTS through the reaction intermediates. In addition, first-principles calculations suggest that Au doping of In2O3 significantly enhances its adsorption energy for CO and improves the electron transfer properties. This study reveals a novel synthesis pathway for Au-doped In2O3 nanotubular structures and their potential application in low concentration CO detection.

The development of a highly selective and trace-level gas sensing platform for detecting hydrogen sulfide (H2S) remains a formidable challenge. To solve this problem, Co–Mo multimetal oxide semiconductors are rationally tailored by employing metal organic frameworks (MOFs) as self-sacrificial templates. The MOF-derived Co3O4/β-CoMoO4 based gas sensors displays high sensitivity (Rg/Ra = 22) to 10 ppm of H2S and ultralow limit of detection (10 ppb H2S). The formation of p-p heterojunction and multivalence states of Mo play a crucial role in electron transfer and oxygen adsorption. A sensor array constructed from four Co3O4/β-CoMoO4 materials with different Co/Mo ratios demonstrates a superior selective discrimination of H2S from other VOCs and malodorous gases by principal component analysis (PCA). Besides, a H2S gas sensing and alarming platform was designed for monitoring the environment contaminated with H2S. This finding provides a feasible approach for the discovery of highly efficient gas sensors to monitor environmental H2S concentration.

Electromagnetic (EM) pollution frequently disrupts the regular operation of sophisticated electrical devices, necessitating the urgent development of lightweight EM wave absorbers that possess powerful absorption capability. Herein, we report a simple method for the preparation of Fe and heteroatom co-doped biochar composites (FeX-BC, where X = N, S) by directly carbonizing the precursors of anhydrous FeCl 3 , cherry kernel powder, and heteroatom dopants (melamine or Na 2 S 2 O 3 ·5H 2 O). By adding different amounts of dopants during the synthesis of the precursors, it is possible to adjust the heteroatom content of the FeX-BC samples with precision. It is worth mentioning that the FeN 0.1 -BC composite delivers the best EM wave absorption performance with an effective absorption bandwidth of 4.8 GHz and a minimal reflection loss of −63.2 dB. Furthermore, the significant attenuation of EM wave can be attributed to the synergistic interplay of magnetic loss, dielectric loss and the enhanced impedance matching. This study introduces a simple methodology for the fabrication of EM wave absorbers, a significant contribution to the synthesis, advancement, and functional applications of biomass-derived materials.
