Herein, a simple hydrothermal method was used to synthesize cobalt hydroxide/nickel sulfide and cobalt foam (Co(OH) 2 /NiS@CF) composite electrode. By simply heating cobalt foam in the aqueous solution containing cobalt nitrate, nickel nitrate, and thiourea, Co(OH) 2 /NiS nano stereoscopic website was synthesized on Cobalt foam. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and electrochemical tests were used to characterize these composite electrodes. When the molar ratio of Co(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O to Thiourea of 4:5, Co(OH) 2 /NiS@CF exhibits excellent performance under these tests. The specific capacitance was 1260 F/g at 1.0 A/g. The composite electrode had 92.3% capacitance retention after 2000 charge-discharge cycles at 1.0 A/g.

Ferroptosis induced by iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides (LPOs) has received increasing attention in cancer therapy, especially chemodynamic therapy (CDT). However, the quick annihilation of hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) severely restricts the ˙OH/LPO conversion efficiency, which has become one of the key factors that influences the therapeutic efficacy of ferroptosis-based CDT. Herein, we designed a ˙OH/LPO nano-converter with a high LPO generation efficiency via loading ferrocene (Fc), a green Fenton catalyst, in the phospholipid bilayer of liposome-PEG (Fc-Lp-PEG). Under catalysis with Fc, the over-expressed H2O2 in tumors can be decomposed to ˙OH. The generated ˙OH in situ reacts with unsaturated lipids on the liposome, and is converted into LPOs, which spread the lipid peroxidation chain reaction to the remote membranes of cells and organelles, triggering efficient cancer cell ferroptosis. Systematic in vitro and in vivo therapeutic outcomes showed the high tumor inhibition ratio (74.0%) and the low side effects of Fc-Lp-PEG on 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. This novel strategy for improving the ˙OH/LPO conversion efficiency might provide new insights for the clinical development of ferroptosis-based CDT.

Halide perovskite nanomaterials have demonstrated promising potential in various fields, including photocatalysis for environmental remediation. However, perovskites’ poor stability toward water makes it difficult to use them for the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater. Herein, we develop a facile and scalable NaBr-assisted room-temperature aqueous phase procedure for the synthesis of all-inorganic CsPbBr3-embedded PbBr(OH) with controlled hierarchical structures, excellent ambient stability, and strong activity for photocatalytic degradation of dyes (e.g., methyl orange and methylene blue) in simulated organic wastewater. It is exceptional that the added NaBr can complex PbBr2 to form a transparent aqueous solution, enabling the subsequent reaction with the aqueous Cs2CO3 precursor to produce CsPbBr3-embedded PbBr(OH) microflowers and microspheres. The photocatalysis shows that the CsPbBr3-embedded PbBr(OH) photocatalysts exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity for dye degradation under visible-light irradiation, which is significantly stronger than that of commercial TiO2 and some other perovskite-based materials produced using a previously reported method. The excellent stability of the CsPbBr3-embedded PbBr(OH) as a photocatalyst is verified by nine consecutive photocatalytic cycles without a noticeable drop in photodegradation efficiency. This work will shed light on the green synthesis of ultra-stable perovskite-based nanomaterials for photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants as well as other promising water treatment technology prospects.

In this work, Yb 4 Hf 3 O 12 ceramic, a typical rare-earth hafnate, was exposed to water vapor with Al(OH) 3 impurities at 1400 ℃, and microstructural evolution and corrosion mechanisms were investigated. The long-term corrosion can be divided into initial hydration and gasification of Hf 4+ and steady-state corrosion after the formation of Al 5 Yb 3 O 12 . In the initial stage, Hf 4+ and the surrounding O 2- tend to be hydrated and then volatilized in the form of Hf(OH) 4 , causing a metastable state of Yb 4 Hf 3 O 12 on the surface. Besides, the preferential corrosion of small grains, grain boundary, and specific crystal plane on the surface and sintered and densified grains result in varied corrosion behavior from the early linear law to the later parabolic law. In the steady-state corrosion stage, due to the consumption of Hf 4+ , more vacancies promote bonding and diffusion of Al 3+ to form corrosion product (Al 5 Yb 3 O 12 ), and during this stage, regrowth and shedding of the corrosion layer reach a dynamic balance.

Lanthanum (La)-based nanoparticles (NPs) are promising candidates for phosphate removal owing to their inherently high affinity towards phosphate. However, significant challenges remain to be addressed before their practical deployment, especially the problems associated with their aggregation. Herein, we fabricated a high-efficient sorbent for phosphate removal through in-situ synthesizing La(OH) 3 NPs on a natural support, bacterial cellulose (BC), which is pre-modified with polyethyleneimine. The resultant La(OH) 3 NPs-immobilized BC with different La contents (BPLa-X) exhibited a highly fibrous porous structure, in which BPLa-3 was selected for further phosphate adsorption studies. BPLa-3 demonstrated a high adsorption capacity of 125.5 mg P g −1 , and high adsorption selectivity due to the large surface area and abundant exposed active adsorption sites for phosphate. Additionally, BPLa-3 also displayed high reusability and still possessed high adsorption capacity after four consecutive cycles of adsorption-desorption. Therefore, the present adsorbent is believed to be a promising candidate for practical phosphate removal.

Along with the development of nanotechnology, nanomaterials have been gradually applied to agriculture in recent years, such as Cu(OH)2-nanorods-based nanopesticide, an antibacterial agrochemical with a high efficacy. Nevertheless, knowledge about physical stability of Cu(OH)2nanopesticide in soil solutions is currently scarce, restricting comprehensive understanding of the fate and risk of Cu(OH)2nanopesticide in the soil environment. Herein we investigated aggregation, sedimentation and dissolution of Cu(OH)2nanopesticide in soil solutions extracted from three different soil samples, wherein commercial Cu(OH)2nanopesticide formulation (NPF), as well as its active ingredient (AI) and laboratory-prepared Cu(OH)2nanorods (NR) with similar morphology as AI, were used as model Cu(OH)2nanopesticides. We found that NPF compared to AI showed less extents of aggregation in ultrapure water due to the presence of dispersing agent in NPF. Yet, moderated aggregation and sedimentation were observed for Cu(OH)2nanopesticide irrespective of NPF, AI or NR when soil solutions were used instead of ultrapure water. The sedimentation rate constants of AI and NPF were 0.023 min−1and 0.010 min−1in the ultrapure water, whereas the rate constants of 0.003–0.021 min−1and 0.002–0.007 min−1were observed for AI and NPF in soil solutions, respectively. Besides aggregation and sedimentation, dissolution of Cu(OH)2nanopesticide in soil solutions was highly dependent on soil type, wherein pH and organic matter played important roles in dissolution. Although the final concentrations of dissolved copper (1.08–1.37 mg/L) were comparable among different soil solutions incubating 48 mg/L of AI, NPF or NR for 96 h, a gradual increase followed by an equilibrium was only observed in the soil solution from acidic soil (pH 5.16) with the low content of organic matter (1.20 g/kg). This work would shed light on the fate of Cu(OH)2nanopesticide in the soil environment, which is necessary for risk assessment of the nanomaterials-based agrochemical.Keywords:soil solutions;aggregation;sedimentation;Cu(OH)2nanopesticide;dissolution

The adsorption of bio-polyols from dilute aqueous solution is important but faces challenges in the sustainable bio-refinery process. One solution to increase adsorption efficiency is to leverage host–guest interactions between the polyols and materials to grant a preference for polyols. In this study, we synthesized MIL-53 and diverse OH-bonded variants, and studied their adsorption properties towards ethanediol, 1,3-propanediol and glycerol in water. Among the four materials, OH–MIL-53 exhibited fast adsorption kinetics and high capacity, and could be completely regenerated through ethanol elution. Hydrophobic interactions between the alkyl chains of the polyols and the organic linkers of OH–MIL-53 and hydrogen bonding interactions between their OH groups were identified. The synergistic effect of the host–guest interactions is responsible for the unique adsorption performances of OH–MIL-53 towards polyols, and particularly for 1,3-propanediol.

H2 production during the transformation of Fe(OH)2 into magnetite (i.e., Schikorr reaction), has a significant impact on many environmental applications, including the long-term effectiveness of permeable reactive barriers composed of zerovalent iron and the stability of geological radioactive waste repository. However, the reactivity of the Schikorr reaction is not systematically evaluated and its chemical mechanism still remains controversial. Here, we investigate water reduction on the Fe(OH)2 surfaces with the help of an interface-reaction model between water and Fe(OH)2. The Fe(OH)2 hexagonal nanosheets prepared using a coprecipitation method possess dominantly exposed (001) and (100) facets. As unveiled by the DFT simulations, the (001) Fe(OH)2 facet only exposes OH, which is, therefore, inert to water reduction. Moreover, the active Fe-exposed (100) Fe(OH)2 facet is more thermodynamically favourable for water adsorption and dissociation than the (101) and (102) facets. However, the high energy barrier for water dissociation (2.79 eV) may restrict the rate of water reduction on the Fe(OH)2 facet. In addition, the capacity of (100), (101), and (102) Fe(OH)2 facets to adsorb OH− is stronger than that for H2O, which further inhibits water reduction. Furthermore, DOS calculations manifest that Fe d orbitals play a significant role in H2O adsorption, indicating that manipulating the electronic structure of the Fe site is a critical path to mediate water reduction in Fe(OH)2. Our study provides new insights into the understanding of the mechanism of the phase transformation of Fe(OH)2 under anaerobic conditions in environmental and earth sciences.

The construction of special heterogeneous interface structures without precious metals is found to be efficient for the development of low-cost and high-activity hydrogen evolution reduction (HER) catalysts. Here, we report a moderate method to develop an efficient and stable HER electrode especially composed of the Co2(OH)2CO3 (COC) nanowire substrate modified by benzenehexol (HOB) molecules. This kind of interfacial structure leads to prominent electrocatalytic HER performance in an alkaline environment with a low overpotential of 130.8 mV at a current of 20 mA cm–2. Meanwhile, density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the nanoscale synergistic interfacial mechanism and strong electron interaction between HOB and COC can reduce the activation energy for HER.

Metastable intermolecular composites (MICs) composed by solid fuel and oxidizer can undergo violent redox reaction with release of huge amount of energy. Integration of MIC with microelectromechanical-system (MEMS) is of particular interest to meet the demand of miniaturization in modern pyrotechnic devices. Meanwhile, fluorine-containing oxidizers are favored in MIC owing to their potential to fluorinate the oxide passivation layer in common elemental fuels. Herein, Co(OH)F was employed for the first time as a novel fluorine-containing oxidizer in Al-based MIC. Vertically aligned Co(OH)F@Al nanobelt arrays (NAs) with tunable morphology were successfully fabricated on a variety of substrates (Si, glass, Ni, Cu, Ti) via a facile hydrothermal synthesis followed by electron beam evaporation. The whole fabrication process is highly compatible with modern MEMS technology. The thermal behavior of pure Co(OH)F and Co(OH)F@Al composites was comprehensively investigated by TG-DSC and a series of ex-situ and in-situ characterization. It was found that, Co(OH)F@Al composites achieved main exothermal reaction before melting of Al regardless of morphology and equivalence ratio. This feature is attributed to the etching of Al 2 O 3 shell by HF released from Co(OH)F which is termed as pre-ignition reaction. To elucidate the effect of micro-structure on the actual specific heat release, we proposed a phenomenological model which can be a reference for future micro-structure design of MIC.

Micromotors have held great promise for environmental treatment due to their unique self-propelled movement that can significantly accelerate the chemical process in solution. Herein, we have developed a new AO–Mn2O3/γ-AlO(OH) fluorescent micromotor using renewable and uniquely hollow kapok fibers as biological templates. The AO–Mn2O3/γ-AlO(OH) micromotor was powered by the asymmetric decomposition of hydrogen peroxide fuel catalyzed by Mn2O3, reaching a maximum speed of 139.6 μm s−1 in 3% H2O2 solution. The micromotor revealed a markedly enhanced fluorescence effect compared to both pure AO solution and non-micromotor counterparts and exhibited excellent selectivity and sensitivity for Hg2+ detection. The detection range and limit for Hg2+ were 5 × 10−8–5 × 10−5 M and 2.25 × 10−8 M, respectively. The enhanced Hg2+ sensing benefited from the synergy of enhanced fluorescence via the inhibition of the dimerization of AO, fluorescence quenching induced by charge transfer and the enhanced contact between the micromotor and Hg2+ ions resulted from the self-propelled motion. This micromotor-assisted fluorescence detection idea provided a new strategy for the development of sensors with high sensitivity.

OH − sieving membranes provide a valuable means for treating alkaline effluents but their development presents several challenges. In this study, the concept of ionization engineering is applied to two-dimensional (2D) laminated membranes to facilitate OH − separation. This concept is demonstrated through the stacking of the self-designed sulfonated graphene oxide (SGO) nanosheets to fabricate 2D membranes. The SGO membranes enhance synergistically the OH − dialysis coefficients and separation factors when treating simulated NaOH/Na 2 WO 4 alkaline wastewater, compared with the performance of 2D GO membranes and commonly adopted polymeric cation exchange membranes. Furthermore, the separation factor achieved by the SGO membranes is considerably higher than that of most of the existing alkali recovery membranes. Results of molecular dynamics simulations indicate that the high efficiency of OH − separation in the 2D SGO confined channels is attributable to dehydration effects and intensified electrostatic repulsion. Overall, this research provides an alternative strategy for achieving rapid OH − sieving through the ionization of 2D confined channels.
