A variety of poly (ether sulfone)s based anion exchange membranes (AEMs) rPES(x/y)-Q with high-density heterocyclic quaternary ammonium groups is prepared by a polycondensation of novel difluoro monomer with biphenol and bis(4-fluorophenyl) sulfone . The AEMs rPES(x/y)-Q exhibit low IEC values in the range of 0.82–1.33 mequiv. g −1 but relatively high hydroxide conductivity of 54.1–82.3 mS cm −1 at 80 °C. Moreover, the AEMs rPES(x/y)-Q display affordable water uptake and good stability due to their rigid side-chain, high-density and stable heterocyclic quaternary ammonium cations. Noticeably, the rPES(5/20)-MPy based single fuel cell displays a large maximum power density of 141 mW cm −2 , which reveals a potential application in anion exchange membrane fuel cell.

The fast recombination of electron-hole pairs results in low photoactivity, limiting carbon nitride further application in wastewater purification. To address this issue, regulation of electron configuration via optimizing surface atom properties is a promising strategy for improving the separation of electron-hole pairs. Here, sea-urchin carbon nitride (SUCN-6) with C-v and O-s mediated electronic structures were facile prepared, endowing it with a decrease in transportation resistance of charge carriers and increased activation towards oxygen. Under visible light, the SUCN-6 showed a removal efficiency of ∼ 89% towards tetracycline (TC) in 20 min and no obvious decaying after five consecutive cycles. This TC photodegradation follows a first-order kinetic, and its kinetic constant reaches 0.0908 min −1 , which is 2.35 folds higher than that of pristine carbon nitride. In addition, several crucial factors of practical wastewater purification (such as pH, TC concentration, water sources, inorganic salts, and organic matters) that might affect photoactivity were investigated. Moreover, the degradation pathways of TC and intermediates were detected by an HPLC-MS and electron spin resonance instrument, and a possible photodegradation mechanism over SUCN-6 was elucidated. This study offers new insights into the photocatalysis kinetics and photodegradation mechanism over carbon nitride for environmental remediation.

The continuous spread of COVID-19 has produced a large number of abandoned disposable medical masks (DMMs), which have a greater negative impact on the environment and biosafety. In response to this issue, a method for rapid microwave sulfonation , nitrification and oxidation of DMMs was proposed to convert DMMs with low carbonization efficiency into aromatic carbon with good thermal stability , which not only maintained 51 wt% of initial mass at 1000 °C, but also achieved in situ co-doping of S, N and O. Subsequently, porous carbons derived from DMMs were synthesized by self-activation pyrolysis , which avoided consumption of alkali and metal salts in the traditional activation process . It was further found that low pyrolysis temperature was not enough to produce enough active material H 2 and H 2 O to obtain high specific surface area, while increasing pyrolysis temperature could adjust the specific surface area of as-prepared carbon, ranging from 52 m 2 ·g −1 to as high as 890 m 2 g −1 . Thanks to synergistic effect of S, N, and O co-doping and hierarchical porous structure , the first discharge specific capacity of sample synthesized by self-activated pyrolysis at 900 °C was 1459.8 mAh·g −1 at 0.1 C, and the discharge specific capacity retention at 0.5 C after 400 cycles was 52.3%.

Reversible dynamic bonds are able to crack and recombine upon external stimuli, which endow polymers with exceptional self-healing, reprocessing, and reversible deformation ability. In this paper, we integrated the metal coordination bonds into shape memory poly(aryl ether ketone) (PAEK) to fabricate smart materials with multifunctionalities. Through tuning the metal ion content and species, the enhancement of shape memory behaviors was achieved, including the high recovery ratio (over 98%) and fixity ratio (over 98%), which was closely related to the synergic effect of the intrinsic motion ability of PAEK matrix and the cracking-recombination of coordination bonds. Besides, through the combination of the components with different Cu2+ contents, in addition to the components with Fe2+ coordination bonds, we fabricated the gradient shape memory structures with controllable shape memory and recovery behaviors. The manipulation of gradient coordination bonds resulted in different shape recovery speeds and directions. Furthermore, due to the dynamic cracking-recombination of coordination bonds, the metal-coordinated PAEK material exhibited the great self-healing and reprocessing performances, which were significant for largely extending its application range.

As a most promising potential next-generation energy storage system , lithium-sulfur batteries (Li–S batteries) received great attention in recent years. However, how to effectively prevent the shuttling effect and accelerate the redox reaction kinetics of polysulfides are still a challenge. Herein, a strategy of using the soft template as a pore-forming agent was proposed to prepare Mo 2 C/nitrogen-doped carbon hollow microflowers (marked as H–Mo 2 C/NC MFs), which was used as an efficient absorbent and electrocatalyst of polysulfides for Li–S batteries. Due to the physical limitations of assembling the special nanosheet into a hollow carbon matrix in the shape of a microflower, the H–Mo 2 C/NC MFs can be used as an appropriate S loading substrate. With the synergistic chemisorption from pyridine N sites and high content polar Mo 2 C nanoparticles , the as-prepared H–Mo 2 C/NC MFs can provide enhancing adsorption and catalytic conversion for polysulfides. As a result, the H–Mo 2 C/NC/S MFs-based cathode provides a high initial discharge capacity of 1104.8mAh/g at 0.2C. Even at the high rate of 1.0C, the initial capacity of 705.2mAh/g still shows good electrochemical performance, and in 1000 cycles, the average capacity decay rate is only 0.016%, with supercycle stability. This article provided a new strategy for a novel viewpoint for the reasonable design of conductive and polar materials for efficient and durable Li–S batteries.

As a crucial part of artificial photosynthesis, the design of the catalyst is important essential. Among them, the interface engineering between semiconductors and the construction of surface-active sites play a vital role in generating and transporting light-excited electrons, which can ultimately accelerate water decomposition. Therefore, the MoS 2 @MoO 3 step (S)-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was prepared by in-situ partial sulfidation. The excellent interface engineering of MoS 2 @MoO 3 nanomaterials achieves a high surface reaction rate. The in-situ vulcanization strategy gradually corrodes from the outside to the inside. The introduction of sulfur atoms can replace oxygen atoms to build a sulfur-rich surface and generate molybdenum sulfide. The amount of thioacetamide is adjusted to control vulcanization and optimizing the experimental conditions, the best hydrogen production rate is 12416.8 µmol h −1 g −1 . An in-situ irradiation XPS experiments and DFT calculations provide a deeper understanding of the S-scheme electron transport mechanism in MoS 2 @MoO 3 . MoS 2 @MoO 3 interface interaction has penetrating electron channels and a strong interface interaction force, which effectively promotes the charge transfer between interfaces. This gradual surface vulcanization strategy provides new ideas for introducing synergistic surface-active sites and optimizing interface engineering photocatalyst projects.

Simultaneous biodegradation of malodorous 1-propanethiol (PT) and dimethyl sulfide (DMS) by Pseudomonas putida S-1 and Alcaligenes sp. SY1 was investigated and the interactions implicated were explored. Results showed that PT was completely degraded in 33 h, while a lag of 10 h was observed for DMS degradation alone, and the lag was even extended to 81 h in the binary mixture. Mechanism analysis found that the lag was mainly attributed to the exposure of DMS degrader ( Alcaligenes sp. SY1), rather than PT metabolites and PT degrader. The exposure time and PT concentration also influenced the lag duration much. Citric acid could effectively reduce the lag. Pseudo-first-order model was proved suitable for the description of PT degradation, revealing that PT degradation could be enhanced in presence of DMS with a concentration of < 50 mg L −1 . A modified Gompertz model, incorporated the lag phase, was developed for the description of DMS degradation in the mixture, revealing that DMS degradation depended on the initial PT concentration, and when the lag was not considered, PT with low-concentration could promote DMS biodegradation, while a higher concentration (> 20 mg L −1 ) cast negative effect.

Rational design and construction of electrocatalysts that can work well at large current densities are imperative for water splitting. Herein, a multi-stage P–Ni 3 S 2 /NiFe/NF electrocatalyst was rationally designed by introducing heteroatoms (S and P) and heterostructure construction. Benefitting from the optimized electronic structure configuration by the synergistic incorporation of S and P, the as-prepared P–Ni 3 S 2 /NiFe/NF electrocatalyst exhibits remarkable activity and stability towards oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media , yielding ultralow overpotentials of 250 mV and 372 mV at the current densities of 100 mA/cm 2 and 1000 mA/cm 2 , respectively. Moreover, its multi-stage heterostructure also endows the electrocatalyst with unique multifunctional properties, making it can realize overall water splitting under a low cell voltage of 1.57 V at 10 mA/cm 2 , and has long-term stability. This work demonstrates the importance of rational introduction of heteroatoms and interface/surface engineering for advanced electrocatalytic materials.

Modulating the internal electric field (IEF) represents a potential strategy to stimulate the photocatalytic activity of heterojunctions, especially S-scheme photocatalysts. Herein, a Cs 3 Bi 2 Br 9 @V O -In 2 O 3 (CBB@V O -In 2 O 3 ) S-scheme heterojunction, of which Cs 3 Bi 2 Br 9 perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) are embedded into mesoporous V O -In 2 O 3 hosts, is rationally designed as a cornerstone for further IEF manipulation. Briefly, by introducing oxygen vacancies (V O ) into the composed reduction semiconductor (mesoporous In 2 O 3 ), an enlarged Fermi level ( E F ) gap between CBB and V O -In 2 O 3 is achieved, yielding an intensified IEF over the CBB@V O -In 2 O 3 heterojunction. Such an enhanced IEF affords a much more robust driving force for directional carrier delivery, leading to accelerated carrier transfer of CBB@V O -In 2 O 3 heterojunction. Consequently, the optimized CBB@V O -In 2 O 3 heterojunction features desirable CO 2 -to-CO conversion efficiency, and its CO production rate reaches 130.96 μmol g −1 h −1 . The reaction intermediates and CO 2 photoconversion pathway were unraveled by in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy. Combining with the DFT calculation, it was revealed that oxygen vacancies in V O -In 2 O 3 act as reactive centers, which optimize the coordination modes of the intermediates, thus reducing the activation energy for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. Our work demonstrates that the IEF modulation of S-scheme-based heterojunction could significantly boost the charge separation and then to drive efficient catalytic reaction , achieving high-efficiency solar fuel production.

To solve the problem of biochar lack of adsorption sites for heavy metal ions and the difficulty of recycling, CoFe 2 O 4 magnetic nanoparticles confined in nitrogen, sulfur co-doped 3D network biochar matrix (C–CoFe 2 O 4 /N,S-BC) was designed and fabricated successfully. The obtained C–CoFe 2 O 4 /N,S-BC displays remarkable adsorption performance for both Pb 2+ and ciprofloxacin (CIP) removal at the single or binary system due to the role of N,S as metal ion anchoring compared to the N,S-free sample (CoFe 2 O 4 /BC). N,S co-doped BC not only participates in adsorption reaction but also effectively inhibites the agglomeration of CoFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles and increases the active sites as a carrier at the same time. In the single system, CoFe 2 O 4 /N,S-BC demonstrates a fast adsorption rate (equilibrium time: 30 min) and high adsorption capacity (224.77 mg g −1 for Pb 2+ , 400.11 mg g −1 for CIP) towards Pb 2+ and CIP. The adsorption process is befitted pseudo-second-order model, and the equilibrium data are in great pertinence with Langmuir model. In the binary system, the maximum adsorption capacity of CoFe 2 O 4 /N,S-BC for Pb 2+ and CIP is 244.80 mg g −1 (CIP: 10.00 mg L −1 ) and 418.42 mg g −1 (Pb 2+ : 10.00 mg L −1 ), respectively. The adsorption mechanism is discussed based on the experimental results. Moreover, C–CoFe 2 O 4 /N,S-BC shows good practical water treatment capacity, anti-interference ability and stable reusability (the removal efficiency>80% after eight cycles). The rapid, multifunctional, reusable, and easily separable adsorption properties make C–CoFe 2 O 4 /N,S-BC promising for efficient environmental remediation. This study also offers a viable method for the construction of adsorption material for complex wastewater treatment .

Water soluble N, S-doped carbon dots (N, S-CDs) with orange emission were synthesized from basic fuchsin and sulfosalicylic acid by the typical hydrothermal route. Based on the inner filter effect (IFE), the prepared N, S-CDs can be innovatively developed as an effective “signal-off” multifunctional sensing platform for sensitive determination of tetracycline antibiotics (for example, chlortetracycline (CTC)) and quercetin. The proposed sensor was utilized to realize the determination of CTC in water and milk samples and quercetin in beer sample (λex = 375 nm, λem = 605 nm) with satisfactory recoveries and relative standard deviations (RSD). The linear range and detection limit (LOD) of CTC is 1.24–165 μM and 32.36 nM, respectively. For quercetin, the linear ranges are 0.98–34 μM and 34–165 μΜ, and the LOD is 6.87 nM (3σ/m). By virtue of the good biocompatibility and long-wavelength emission, N, S-CDs were also used in the imaging of oocystis cells and yeast cells, which demonstrated promising applicability for bio-imaging and sensing.

Over use or long term exposure of acetaminophen (APAP) could cause severe damage to human health. Currently APAP related events is still a global burden. Therefore, secure management of APAP is important for avoiding possible APAP induced incidents. Rapid sensing of APAP in human body fluids can help in better moniotoring of the health condition and provide information for necessary medical aid. Electrochemical sensor utilizing functional nanomaterials and nanostructures have been proved to be a facile approach for sensing APAP in human body fluids. Among various fucntional nanmaterials, the transition element doped Fe3O4 nanoparticle decorated carbon materials have found extensive applications in catalysis, energy and environmental etc. areas. In order to explore the versatility of Zn doped Fe3O4 nanoparticle incorporated with biomass carbon electrocatalyst in electrochemical sensing area, we prepared the N, S and P doped biomass carbon material (NSP-BC) from the biomass of Elaeagnus Angustifolia gum through pyrolysis approach. Then, facile one-pot polyol solvothermal synthesis method was adpoted for deposition of Zn doped Fe3O4 nanoparticle onto the NSP-BC. Among the synthesized electrocatalysts, the Zn/Fe ratio of 0.132 electrocatalyst was found to show the highest Ipa response current towards APAP molecule. The electrocatalysts were systematically characterized by scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, element mapping, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffractometer, Raman spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy and electrochemical analysis. The electrocatalyst modified glassy carbon electrode sensor achieved a wide linear sensing range of APAP from 2.5 to 500 μM covering urinary physiological APAP concentration range with a limit of detection of 63.9 nM and a sensitivity of 0.64 μA μM-1 cm-2. The electrocatalyst modified GCE sensor also exhibited satisfactory recovery rates of APAP in urine samples. This facile synthesized Zn-doped Fe3O4 nanoparticle @ NSP-BC electrocatalyst has potential application in clinical diagnostics and pharmaceutical analysis.
