This study is the first to apply a zero-valent iron (ZVI) system in the treatment of cottonseed oil (CTO) refining wastewater. The results indicated that the ZVI system can effectively degrade and mineralize CTO in the wastewater, whereas sunlight irradiation and O 2 bubbling can considerably enhance CTO degradation, removing 93.5% of CTO and 69.0% of chemical oxygen demand within 180 min. In addition, a low concentration (0.1 mM) of S O 4 2 - and Cl − in the wastewater improved CTO degradation, whereas a high concentration (>1 mM) of these anions considerably inhibited the degradation process. However, N O 3 - at all concentrations hindered CTO degradation. Furthermore, OH and O 2 - were the main active species for CTO degradation in the ZVI system under dark conditions. However, in addition to these two species, photogenerated hole (h + ) played a key role in CTO degradation under sunlight irradiation. This observation might be derived from the photocatalytic effect due to photoexcitation of the iron corrosion product, γ-FeOOH. Our findings show that the ZVI system assisted by sunlight irradiation and O 2 bubbling is feasible for CTO-refining wastewater treatment and can guide the real wastewater treatment project.

Rechargeable lithium oxygen (Li–O2) batteries are regarded as promising candidates for future energy storage systems due to their exceptionally high theoretical energy density. However, their practical implementation faces major obstacles, including high charge and discharge overpotentials and a semiopen battery structure that is highly sensitive to humidity. These factors lead to reduced efficiency and poor stability in moist air, significantly limiting real-world application. To address these challenges, a composite photoelectrode was developed by directly growing tungsten trioxide (WO3) nanoribbons on carbon paper (CP), followed by the uniform deposition of platinum nanoparticles using atomic layer deposition. Compared to WO3 photoelectrode, the resulting Pt–WO3 photoelectrode enables stable operation of photoassisted Li–O2 batteries under humid oxygen atmosphere. The batteries sustain stable operation for over 100 cycles without failure at current densities of 0.05 and 0.2 mA cm–2. Advanced characterization and theoretical calculations confirm the formation of an ohmic contact between platinum and tungsten trioxide, which promotes the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes, improves charge transfer, and facilitates the reversible formation and decomposition of lithium hydroxide (LiOH). This strategy effectively overcomes critical barriers faced by conventional Li–O2 batteries in real-world environments and provides a promising direction for the design of environmentally tolerant and photoelectrochemically efficient energy storage systems.

In this paper, a novel method is presented to enhance the antimicrobial properties of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) via plasma-induced grafting of quaternary ammonium (QA). The results show that the content of oxygen-containing functional groups on PVC surface is significantly increased after Ar-O 2 plasma treatment, beneficially enhancing the thickness and adhesion of QA coating. Plasma treatment time critically affects the morphology of PVC surface, which is closely related to the number, depth and diameter of pit on the surface. With the increase of pits size, the PVC surface forms ridge-like protrusions. The coating formed by grafting QA maintains the morphology characteristics of plasma-treated PVC surface. Results of antibacterial test show that specimens have the best antibacterial activity when there are a high and sharp ridge-like structure of QA coating on the plasma-treated PVC surface.

Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) play a pivotal role in the occurrence and development of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and precise detection of them holds significant clinical implications. The development of luminol-based luminophores in the field of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) for miRNA detection has been significant, while their effectiveness is hindered by the instability of co-reactant hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ). In this work, an iron single-atom catalyst (Fe-PNC) was employed for catalyzing the luminol-O 2 ECL system to achieve ultra-sensitive detection of myocardial miRNA. Target miRNA triggers a hybridization chain reaction (HCR), resulting in the generation of a DNA product featuring multiple sticky ends that facilitate the attachment of Fe-PNC probes to the electrode surface. The Fe-PNC catalyst exhibits high promise and efficiency for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in electrochemical energy conversion systems. The resulting ECL biosensor allowed ultrasensitive detection of myocardial miRNA with a low detection limit of 0.42 fM and a wide linear range from 1 fM to 1.0 nM. Additionally, it demonstrates exceptional performance when evaluated using serum samples collected from patients with AMI. This work expands the application of single-atom catalysis in ECL sensing and introduces novel perspectives for utilizing ECL in disease diagnosis.

Sodium–oxygen (Na−O 2 ) batteries are being extensively studied because of their higher energy efficiency and lower cost compared to those of lithium–oxygen (Li–O 2 ) batteries. However, highly efficient and durable cathode catalysts are very limited, thus considerably hindering the application of Na–O 2 batteries. Herein, a vertically self-standing C@NiCo 2 O 4 nanoneedle arrays (C@NiCo 2 O 4 -NAs) have been delicately designed and fabricated by a facile hydrothermal method . The NiCo 2 O 4 nanoneedles are in-situ grown on the carbon paper , forming an unique urchin-like structure, which is directly used to Na–O 2 batteries as a self-standing and binder-free cathode for the first time. Under a current density of 50 mA g −1 , the Na–O 2 battery containing C@NiCo 2 O 4 -NAs cathode shows a high initial discharge capacity of 6500 mAh g −1 (based on NiCo 2 O 4 material mass) and low over-potential of 0.6 V due to the numerous catalytic sites and high electron mobility of C@NiCo 2 O 4 -NAs. SEM, XPS and FTIR tests have confirmed the formation of thin film-like Na 2 O 2 discharge product on the surface and gaps of NiCo 2 O 4 nanoneedles, and the special film-like structure can facilitate the decomposition of Na 2 O 2 in the subsequent charging process and reduce the over-potential notably. Meanwhile, the robust urchin-like structure of C@NiCo 2 O 4 -NAs renders the Na–O 2 battery a high cyclic stability up to 120 cycles when the specific capacity is limited to be 800 mAh g −1 .

s Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) electrosynthesis from 2-electron O 2 reduction reaction (2eORR) is widely regarded as a promising alternative to the current industry-dominant anthraquinone process. Design and fabrication of effective, low-cost carbon-based electrodes is one of the priorities. Many previous work well confirmed that hydrophilic carbon-based electrodes are preferable for 2eORR. Here, we proposed a strategy of hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity regulation. By using commercially available graphite felt (GF) as electrodes, we showed that both hydrophilic GF, hydrophobic GF, and Janus GF yielded significantly higher H 2 O 2 production, which is 7.3 times, 7.6 times, and 7.7 times higher than the original GF, respectively. Results showed that currents and stirring rates affect the H 2 O 2 yields. The enhancement of hydrophilic GF is due to the incorporation of oxygen-containing functional groups, while the hydrophobic and Janus GF comes from the locally confined O 2 bubbles, which built a gas-liquid-solid interface inside GF and thus enhance the H 2 O 2 formation kinetics. Finally, the effectiveness of the hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity regulation concept was tested in Electro-Fenton process by removing typical dyes and antibiotics. This work supply an effective but facile strategy to enhance the performance of carbon-based electrodes towards 2eORR by regulating the micro-environment of electrodes.

Selective production of value-added platform chemicals from renewable biomass feedstocks and their derivatives has attracted tremendous attention with high potential in addressing global problems of energy and sustainability. In this work, a lead-halide perovskite (MAPbBr3, MA = methylammonium) is utilized as a photocatalyst for selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) using atmospheric O2 upon visible-light irradiation. Under minimally optimized conditions, the photocatalytic conversion of HMF in acetonitrile solvent reaches 100% with a DFF selectivity of over 90%, achieving an overall furanic carbon yield of over 96%. A detailed catalytic mechanism was proposed based on various spectroscopic and experimental results, revealing that the atmospheric O2, photogenerated electrons (e–), holes (h+), •O2–, and 1O2 species together play crucial roles in the effective and selective photo-oxidation of HMF to DFF. In addition, our present photocatalytic system is also applicable for photo-oxidation of benzyl alcohol with approximately 100% conversion and benzaldehyde selectivity, providing insights for future exploration of the present catalytic system.

It is crucial to design effective cathode catalysts for high performance of Li–O 2 batteries (LOBs). Herein, porous LaCo 0.6 Ni 0.4 O 3 nanofibers decorated with ultrafine Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles (Co 3 O 4 @LCN NFs) are designed and employed as cathode catalyst for LOBs. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurement results suggested that uniform dispreading of Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles on LCN NFs surface could largely increase the surface chemisorbed oxygen, resulting in enhanced catalytic activity. Furthermore, with the assistance of Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles, Co 3 O 4 @LCN NFs can significantly facilitate O 2 adsorption and diffusion, Li 2 O 2 nucleation/decomposition and the formation of tiny sheet-like Li 2 O 2 , thereby achieving a low charge overpotential. A high specific capacity of 11,288 mA h g −1 , a low charge voltage plateau of 3.72 V at first cycle and excellent cycle stability of 116 cycles at 1000 mA g −1 are obtained for LOBs with Co 3 O 4 @LCN NFs.

Carboxylic acids are considered as an important group of chemicals. Direct conversion of cellulose to formic acid (FA) by vanadium(V(V))-contained catalyst is of significant conceptual and practical interest. A second metal (from Mg(II), Ca(II), Al(III), Cr(III), Mo(VI), Mn(II), Cu(II), or Fe(III)) incorporated into V(V)-contained catalyst system was screened to further improve the oxidation of cellulose by O 2 to yield FA. Fe(III) exhibited the best performance and effects of reaction parameters on the conversion of cellulose in NaVO 3 -FeCl 3 -H 2 SO 4 aqueous solution were investigated. Cellulose could be rapidly converted, and the yield of FA (66.8%) was higher than that obtained by the single use of FeCl 3 (48.4%) or NaVO 3 (57.6%). The conversion of cellulose in another V(V)-contained catalyst system (H 5 PV 2 Mo 10 O 40 ) was explored to verify the universal enhancement of FeCl 3 . Influences of the second metal Fe(III) on the V(V)-contained catalyst system and mechanism of cellulose oxidation in the V(V)-Fe(III)-H 2 SO 4 system were studied. Compared with single use of V(V), the employment of Fe(III) alone is not active enough in the oxidative C C bond cleavage . V(V) other than Fe(III) is the main active species for selective oxidation of substrates. The incorporation of Fe(III) and V(V) shows both synergistic and competitive relationships. Both the synergistic and competitive effects are beneficial to increase FA yield, as they promote the oxidation of V(IV) to V(V), increase oxidative ability, and inhibit the overoxidation to by-product CO 2 . The catalyst system was reused four times without decline in activity.

Three-dimensional (3D) nanomaterials have received significant attention for large-scale functional applications due to their large specific surface areas as well as desired electrical, physicochemical, and catalytic properties. Herein, we present a facile and effective synthetic route for in situ grown 3D hierarchical Ni3S2 superstructures (rod-like arrays and nanoforest patterns) on nickel foam. This handy strategy endows the Ni3S2 superstructures with large surface active areas, porosity, and macro-/mesoporous structures. We have shown that these materials can serve as highly active, binder-free, bifunctional electrocatalysts for both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Moreover, these materials were found to provide a ∼100% faradaic yield towards both HER and OER and exhibit remarkable catalytic stability (for >50 h).

Multicomponent miktoarm stars with multifunctional Y junctions may provide us with new insights into their physicochemical properties and prospective applications. Considering the unique role of a gas stimulus in smart materials and the promising gradient-type properties induced by combined stimuli, this study aims at the synthesis, thermoresponsive and self-assembly behaviors of an O2-, redox-, thermo-, and pH-responsive 3-miktoarm star quarterpolymer. A robust method involving controlled polymerization, amine–thiol–ene conjugation and hydrolysis was developed to achieve a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-4-(2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethylcarbamoyl)ethylthio)-2-(acrylamido)-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)butanamide)-arm-poly(ε-caprolactone)-arm-poly(acrylic acid) star. Owing to the changes in amphiphilicity, chemical composition and mutual interactions, a single stimulus or various stimuli combinations could lead to switchable LCSTs and morphological transformations. Upon increasing pH, O2 treatment and oxidation, the copolymer solution was liable to exhibit enhanced LCST due to the improved hydrophilicity. The star quarterpolymer could self-assemble into multicompartment vesicles (pH 3.0), vesicles (pH 5.9) and small micelle/vesicle mixtures (pH 10) at ambient temperature. Upon thermo, redox and O2 stimuli, the assemblies formed at different pHs could be further converted into some other morphologies such as compound micelles and nanocapsules with hollow caves. Our research affords a general route to synthesize MMSs with tailored Y junctions, and the combination of the O2 stimulus with other stimuli may potentially expand the scope of multi-triggered properties and applications of star copolymers.

Visible-light-driven H 2 O 2 production from O 2 reduction is an eco-friendly strategy and attracts increasing attentions. In this study, KOH modified graphitic carbon nitrides (CNKx) were constructed through the thermolysis of melamine-cyanuric acid supramolecular-complex in the presence of KOH. The BET specific surface area of CNK 0.2 with porous structure was 92 m 2 g −1 . The photocatalyst was characterized by XPS, ESR and element analysis and the analysis suggested that nitrogen vacancy was created in the framework of g-C 3 N 4 . Photoluminescence (PL) spectra indicated that the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes was efficiently suppressed. ζ-potential revealed that more negative charge on the surface of CNK 0.2 , which promoted the adsorption of O 2 and accelerated the photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production. ESR experimental and radical quenching results illustrated that superoxide radical (O 2 - ) was the primary intermediate during the O 2 reduction process, suggesting the O 2 reduction pathway by CNK 0.2 was the sequential two-step single-electron reduction.
