Yellow-visual fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were prepared from petroleum coke by ultrasonic-assisted chemical oxidation and were used as label-free probes for Cu 2+ detection in water. The detection of Cu 2+ by CQD probes is related to a quenching of fluorescence by a photoinduced electron transfer mechanism. The quenched fluorescence of the CQDs by Cu 2+ can be recovered by adding ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid. The yellow-visual fluorescent CQD probes have a linear detection range from 0.25 to 10 μM, a detection limit of 0.0295 μM, a response time of 3 s, and a superior sensitivity and selectivity for Cu 2+ detection compared to other fluorescent probes. The CQDs are easy to prepare, economical, reusable, fast to respond and can be used in on-line detection.

Porous carbon materials can increase the conductivity of sulfur and restrain the shuttling of polysulfides in the electrolyte. A hierarchical microporous-mesoporous carbon (HMMC) with a large surface area and pore volume was prepared by the simple one-step carbonization of a mixture of magnesium gluconate (MG) and phenolic resin. The MG was transformed into nanosize magnesium oxide that acted as a hard template during carbonization to create mesopores. The HMMC has a high surface area (∼1 560 m 2 g −1 ) and large pore volume (∼2.6 cm 3 g −1 ), which provides abundant space for sulfur loading and accommodates volume changes during charge/discharge. The interconnected pore structure and carbon framework ensure fast electron and Li ion transfer. As the cathode of a Li-S battery the sulfur-loaded HMMC has a high discharge capacity of 939 mAh g −1 at 0.3 C and a reversible capacity of 731 mAh g −1 after 150 cycles with only a 0.15% capacity fade per cycle. Even at a high rate of 2 C, it still delivers a high discharge capacity of 626 mAh g −1 , showing an excellent rate performance.

Heteroatom doped carbon dots (CDs) possess many unique properties and have attracted increasing attention. The precursor is vital for the preparation of highly fluorescent heteroatom doped CDs. Herein, 1, 3-bis(carboxymethyl)imidazolium chloride ([Im(AH)2]Cl, a COOH-functional ionic liquid) and aminoethylethanolamine (AEEA) were firstly used as precursors to prepare nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) by a simple one-step pyrolysis approach. The effects of reaction time, temperature, and mass ratio of precursors on the quantum yield (QY) of N-CDs were investigated. The prepared N-CDs are spherical morphology with an average diameter of 2.4 nm, and have blue fluorescence with a QY of 23.2% and excitation-dependent emission behavior. They also possess good water solubility and fluorescent stability. In addition, based on the obtained N-CDs, a sensing method of free chlorine detection in acidic water system was introduced. The proposed method has good sensitivity and selectivity to free chlorine, and exhibits a nice linear response in the concentration range from 0.2 to 22 μM with a detection limit of 0.15 μM. Furthermore, this sensing method was successfully applied to detect free chlorine of tap water with satisfactory recovery (97%–103%), suggesting it has the potential application in water quality monitoring.

Chlorin e6 (Ce6), a large heterocyclic aromatic molecule, is a promising photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT). We propose an efficient nano-photosensitizer delivery system based on covalent interactions between Ce6 and polyethylenimine (PEI) coated carbon nanodots (CDots). We observed >50% Ce6 drug loading content for PEI, due to this compound's unique 'proton sponge effect.' We found that the covalently incorporated Ce6 molecules retained their functional properties for near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging and PDT. The chemical characteristics of CDot-PEI-Ce6 and Ce6 were evaluated using different analytical methods, including transmission electron microscopy and UV–Visible absorption spectra. Time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) and fluorescence spectra were used to demonstrate that Ce6 successfully conjugated to the CDots. The high cellular uptake of CDots-PEI-Ce6 was confirmed using flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy. According to the MTT assay, the CDots-PEI-Ce6 exhibited low dark toxicity and efficient PDT efficacy to HeLa cancer cells. These results indicate that CDot-PEI-Ce6 conjugates are potential photosensitizer delivery systems for PDT.

As a culinary and medicinal herb, rosemary is widely used. The present work aimed to investigate the effects of rosemary extracts on metabolic diseases and the underlying mechanisms of action. Liver cells stably expressing SREBP reporter were used to evaluate the inhibitory effects of different fractions of rosemary extracts on SREBP activity. The obese mice induced by Western-type diet were orally administered with rosemary extracts or vehicle for 7 weeks, the plasma and tissue lipids were analyzed. SREBPs and their target genes were measured by quantitative RT-PCR. We demonstrated that the petroleum ether sub-fraction of rosemary extracts (PER) exhibited the best activity in regulating lipid metabolism by inhibiting SREBPs, while water and n -BuOH sub-fraction showed the SREBPs agonist-effect. After PER treatment, there was a significant reduction of total SREBPs in liver cells. PER not only decreased SREBPs nuclear abundance, but also inhibited their activity, resulting in decreased expression of SREBP-1c and SREBP-2 target genes in vitro and in vivo . Inhibiting SREBPs by PER decreased the total triglycerides and cholesterol contents of the liver cells. In the mice fed with Western-type diet, PER treatment decreased TG, TC, ALT, glucose, and insulin in blood, and improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, PER treatment also decreased lipid contents in liver, brown adipose tissue, and white adipose tissue. Our results from the present study suggested that petroleum ether fraction of rosemary extracts exhibited the best potential of improving lipid metabolism by inhibiting SREBPs activity.

A process for gallium recovery by cyclone electrowinning was proposed to inhibit concentration polarization and improve current efficiency (CE). The diffusion coefficient of GaO 2 − in 120 g/L NaOH solution was determined to be 1.65×10 −7 cm 2 /s by electrochemical study. The effect of various parameters on gallium electrowinning was investigated, and the optimum conditions were determined as: titanium cathode, current density of 750 A/m 2 , gallium concentration of 39.9 g/L, NaOH concentration of 120 g/L, and circulation flow of 200 L/h. Under these conditions, the CE and gallium recovery of electrowinning were 47.9% and 90.2%, respectively. The precipitated gallium can be easily separated from the cathode, and the final purity of gallium after washing was 99.993%. The energy consumption (EC) of gallium cyclone electrowinning was about 9048 kW·h/t. Overall, it is suggested that cyclone electrowinning is a promising process for gallium production with high CE and low EC.

ABSTRACT Photocatalytic water splitting to produce H 2 using semiconductor photocatalysts is a reliable approach to alleviating energy shortages and environmental pollution. However, the inadequate light-harvesting ability, rapid photogenerated carrier recombination, and inferior redox capacity of the individual photocatalysts restrict their photocatalytic activity . To address these limitations, a hierarchical S-scheme heterojunction of ZnIn 2 S 4 -nanosheet-decorated flower-like TiO 2 microspheres for enhancing photocatalytic H 2 evolution, purposely constructed through in situ chemical bath deposition, has been reported. The as-synthesized TiO 2 /ZnIn 2 S 4 heterojunctions exhibited ZnIn 2 S 4 -content-dependent photocatalytic activity for solar-driven H 2 evolution. As a result, the optimized TiO 2 /ZnIn 2 S 4 heterojunction exhibited a superior photocatalytic H 2 evolution rate of 6.85 mmol g –1 h –1 , approximately 171.2- and 3.9-fold with respect to that obtained on pure TiO 2 and ZnIn 2 S 4 , respectively, mainly attributed to the unique hierarchical structure, extended light-harvesting ability, enhanced redox capacity, and improved separation and transfer efficiencies of the photogenerated carriers induced by the S-scheme heterojunctions. Simultaneously, a detailed analysis of the S-scheme electron transfer pathway in the TiO 2 /ZnIn 2 S 4 heterojunction was performed using in situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy . This study provides insights into the design of highly active heterojunction photocatalysts for sustainable solar-to-fuel energy conversion.

A two-step photocatalytic water splitting system, termed a “Z-scheme system”, was achieved using Zn-doped g-C 3 N 4 for H 2 evolution and BiVO 4 for O 2 evolution with Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ as a shuttle redox mediator. H 2 and O 2 were evaluated simultaneously when the doping amount of zinc was 10%. Moreover, Zn-doped (10%) g-C 3 N 4 synthesized by an impregnation method showed superior active ability to form the Z-scheme with BiVO 4 than by in-situ synthesis. X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the samples. It was determined that more Zn–N bonds could be formed on the surface of g-C 3 N 4 by impregnation, which could facilitate charge transfer.

Although the intermittent energy-driven direct seawater splitting technology provides an unparalleled approach to achieving sustainable development, the severe corrosion via aggressive Cl – severely affects the stability and efficiency of the anode catalyst and limits its industrial application. Herein, a lattice Cl – functioned NiFe-LDH electrode (E-NF-LDH Cl or E-NF-LDH SW ) is firstly constructed by a minute-level electrochemistry assisted chlorine corrosion strategy, which presents enhanced oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance and excellent anti-Cl – corrosion behavior for seawater splitting. The optimized E-NF-LDH Cl and E-NF-LDH SW deliver low OER overpotential of 355 and 384 mV to reach 1 A cm −2 current density in the 1 mol L –1 KOH and 1 mol L –1 KOH seawater, respectively, as well as excellent stability of E-NF-LDH Cl is maintained at 1 A cm –2 for 400 h in the 1 mol L –1 KOH and 1 mol L –1 KOH + 0.5 mol L –1 NaCl. MD (molecular dynamics) simulation and DFT (density functional theory) calculation confirmed that strong common-ion repulsion effect in IHP region repels free Cl – , forming high spin polarization centers and more single electrons to enhance the intrinsic activity of OER.

Interface has often played significant role in the behavior of metal-based catalysts during various heterogeneous reactions. Herein, we reported a novel interfacial pathway for propane dehydrogenation on Pt-GaO x dual sites. The active ensemble, composing Pt particles and Ga 2 O 3 clusters, facilitates the facile dissociation of C–H bonds (energy barrier < 0.30 eV) through H-abstraction by O sites, coupled with alkyl stabilization on the Pt surface. Notably, the electronic perturbation of the Pt slab induces higher-lying O 2 p states at the interface, accompanied by a substantial density of states around fermi level. This is in stark contrast to the O species present in Ga 2 O 3 crystals or clusters alone, leading to an exceptionally strong affinity for H and a robust ability for C–H scission. The Pt/Ga-Al 2 O 3 catalysts prepared with Pt nanoparticles decorated by Ga oxide exhibit superior performance compared to Pt/Al 2 O 3 and PtSn/Al 2 O 3 catalysts. This insight into interfacial catalysis contributes to a broader understanding of the origin of the high catalytic efficiency observed in metal-based catalysts.

As by-products of petroleum refining, heavy oils are characterized by a high carbon content, low cost and great variability, making them competitive precursors for the anodes of potassium ion batteries (PIBs). However, the relationship between heavy oil composition and potassium storage performance remains unclear. Using heavy oils containing distinct chemical groups as the carbon source, namely fluid catalytic cracking slurry (FCCS), petroleum asphalt (PA) and deoiled asphalt (DOA), three carbon nanosheets (CNS) were prepared through a molten salt method, and used as the anodes for PIBs. The composition of the heavy oil determines the lamellar thicknesses, sp 3 -C/sp 2 -C ratio and defect concentration, thereby affecting the potassium storage performance. The high content of aromatic hydrocarbons and moderate amount of heavy component moieties in FCCS produce carbon nanosheets (CNS-FCCS) that have a smaller layer thickness, larger interlayer spacing (0.372 nm), and increased number of folds than in CNS derived from the other three precursors. These features give it faster charge/ion transfer, more potassium storage sites and better reaction kinetics. CNS-FCCS has a remarkable K + storage capacity (248.7 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g −1 ), long cycle lifespan (190.8 mAh g −1 after 800 cycles at 1.0 A g −1 ) and excellent rate capability, ranking it among the best materials for this application. This work sheds light on the influence of heavy oil composition on carbon structure and electrochemical performance, and provides guidance for the design and development of advanced heavy oil-derived carbon electrodes for PIBs.

CO 2 hydrogenation to value-added light olefins (C 2–4 = ) is crucial for the utilization and cycling of global carbon resource. Moderate CO 2 activation and carbon chain growth ability are key factors for iron-based catalysts for efficient CO 2 conversion to target C 2–4 = products. The electronic interaction and confinement effect of electron-deficient graphene inner surface on the active phase are effective to improve surface chemical properties and enhance the catalytic performance. Here, we report a core-shell FeCo alloy catalyst with graphene layers confinement prepared by a simple sol-gel method. The electron transfer from Fe species to curved graphene inner surface modifies the surface electronic structure of the active phase χ-(Fe x Co 1– x ) 5 C 2 and improves CO 2 adsorption capacity, enhancing the efficient conversion of CO 2 and moderate C-C coupling. Therefore, the catalyst FeCoK@C exhibits C 2–4 = selectivity of 33.0% while maintaining high CO 2 conversion of 52.0%. The high stability without obvious deactivation for over 100 h and unprecedented C 2–4 = space time yield (STY) up to 52.9 mmol CO2 ·g –1 ·h –1 demonstrate its potential for practical application. This work provides an efficient strategy for the development of high-performance CO 2 hydrogenation catalysts.
