CO 2 sequestration based on hydrate technology is considered to be the most promising long-term CO 2 sequestration technology. In this study, a method of using initial stirring to activate CO 2 hydrate formation process was proposed in the aim of saving energy and avoiding the problem of stirring shaft stuck, where the stirring only played a role in activating hydrate formation process. Two amino acids, l -Methionine and d -leucine, were chosen as promoters for improving the formation kinetics of CO 2 hydrates, and l -Methionine presents better than d -leucine. When the concentration of l -methionine solution is equal to or greater than 4 mmol/L, even with the initial stirring of 10 rpm within 8 min, T 90 can be shortened to close to or less than 40 min with a high gas consumption of more than 7.3 mmol gas/mL water, where the promoting effect is similar to the condition of continuous stirring of about 100 min, indicating that about 90 % of the energy consumed for mechanical stirring can be saved. Moreover, an interesting phenomenon was observed that CO 2 hydrates firstly nucleated inside the l -methionine solution, and a large number of small hydrate floccules rapidly formed and filled the entire solution under the action of magnetic stirring, which proved the instantaneous excitation effect of stirring on hydrate formation. This work contributes to rethinking the promoting roles of stirring and promoters in CO 2 hydrate formation.

Poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLLGC) and 1,4-butanediamine modified maleated poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (BMPLGA) were both synthesized by ring-opening polymerization with stannous octoate as catalyst. Then PLLGC/BMPLGA blend porous films were prepared by using NaCl particles as a porogen through a solvent casting/particle leaching method. The PLLGC/BMPLGA blend porous films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography and scanning electron microscopy. The tensile properties of the PLLGC/BMPLGA porous films were also studied. The results showed that the content and size of the NaCl porogens had significant effects on the porosity of the PLLGC/BMPLGA porous films. The tensile strength and elongation percentage of the porous films decreased with increasing porogen content. Thus, both the pore structure and mechanical properties of the porous PLLGC/BMPLGA blend films can be controlled by changing the amount and size of the porogen.

In this work a novel type of composite scaffolds based on poly(lactide-co-glycolide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLLGC), 1,4-butanediamine modified poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (BMPLGA), nanobioactive glass (NBAG) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) were fabricated by using a thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) method. The in-vitro degradation behaviors were investigated by immersing the scaffolds in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH = 7.27) solution at 37 °C for 40 days. The properties, including the PBS pH value change and the water uptake, mass loss and morphology changes of the composite scaffolds, were investigated by comparing with pure PLLGC/BMPLGA scaffolds. The introduction of NBAG and β-TCP nanoparticles decreased the degradation rate of the PLLGC/BMPLGA matrix and improved the wetting behavior. The decrease in the degradation rate of the composite scaffolds correlated well with the results obtained from mass loss, water uptake and pH measurements. The degradation rate of the PLLGC/BMPLGA polymer in the composite scaffolds decreased as a result of the alkaline effect of the NBAG and β-TCP particles, with the OH- ions formed neutralizing acidic polymeric degradation products and binding the H+ ions from the tissue fluids.

In this study, nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen co-doped carbon armored cobalt sulfide (Co/Co 9 S 8 @N-S-O-C) composite was synthesized, characterized and used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX). SMX (0.04 mM) can be completely degraded within 20 min in the presence of 0.8 mM PMS and 0.1 g/L Co/Co 9 S 8 @N-S-O-C composite. The first-order kinetics constant of SMX degradation was 0.307 min -1 , and the mineralization of SMX was 30.1 %. The Quenching experiments of the free radicals and the identification of degradation products demonstrated that sulfate radicals played a dominant role in SMX degradation. The degradation rate of SMX increased with temperature, and activation energy was calculated to be 48.6 kJ/mol. The degradation rate of SMX increased firstly then decreased with increase of pH. Chloridion and humic acid decreased the degradation rate of SMX no matter what their initial concentration was. The effect of carbonate on SMX degradation depended on its initial concentration. Co/Co 9 S 8 @N-S-O-C composite showed good stability, the removal efficiency of SMX was 98.4 % in the fifth experiment. Based on the characterization results of the catalyst before and after use, it was concluded that cobalt, sulfur, pyridnic N and graphitic N were responsible for PMS activation.

Multi-stimuli-responsive hydrogels are being increasingly studied due to their sensitive response to small stimuli and wide applications in biosensors and drug delivery. In this study, a multi-stimuli-responsive hydrogel, poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate- co - N -vinyl pyrrolidone- co -methacrylic acid- co - N -isopropylacryl amide) [poly(HEMA- co -NVP- co -MAA- co -NIPA)], was synthesized by radical polymerization and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and 13 C NMR spectroscopy techniques. With the aids of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterization, it was confirmed that the sensitive stimuli-responsive behavior of the hydrogel stemmed from its microstructure variation with those external stimulus. Rheological study showed that the hydrogel had rheological feature of typical elastomer. Compression tests revealed that the poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate- co - N -vinyl pyrrolidone) [poly(HEMA- co -NVP)] played an important role in enhancing the compressive modulus of such hydrogel. More interestingly, the equilibrium swelling ratio (ESR) studies further confirmed that the composite hydrogel displayed response sensitively to the stimulus of temperature, pH, and ionic strength. Herein, theophylline as a drug model was adopted due to the multi-stimulus properties of hydrogels, which were a potential candidate for drug loading and delivering. Releasing drug continuously in a given period was dependent on the characteristics of solution and loading time. The mechanisms for drug release from the hydrogels were studied by Ritger–Peppas model.

Polymer template method is a general and facile to fabricate nano-structural matters. Some amphiphilic polymers or co-polymers were used as templates to synthesize nano-silica. In this contribution, polymethacrylate (PMMA) employed was a commercial hydrophobic acrylate polymer and grafted with a strong hydrophilic polyethyleneimine (PEI, a densely amino-groups polymer) via aminolysis reaction, which was monitored and identified by means of FT-IR. The aminolysis reaction was optimized and the suitable reaction time was 12 h at 110 °C. The obtained copolymer, PMMA-co-PEI was applied as a template to prepare nano-silica spheres that was characterized by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). When the dosage was 1 wt% of purified PMMA-co-PEI, the resultant nano-silica had uniform particle size, and average diameter of 311 nm. When the dosage of PMMA-co-PEI was increased to 2 wt% or 4 wt%, the resultant particles became bigger and inclined to aggregate. Nano-silica afforded by this template method will be a promising material in application of catalysis, energy, biology and chromatographic analysis and the copolymer of PMMA-co-PEI will be a template for producing metal oxide nano-spheres.

Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 )-mediated photodynamic therapy has emerged as a promising antibacterial strategy. To further enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 , we have rationally designed cobalt-doped TiO 2 nanocomposites (C/Co/TiO 2-x ) via a sol–gel synthesis approach. The synthesized materials were systematically characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–Vis DRS). Structural analyses confirmed the presence of Ti, O, C, and Co elements, exhibiting a block-like morphology with a dominant anatase crystalline phase. Notably, the optimized material exhibits an extended visible-light absorption edge (762 nm) accompanied by a reduced band gap (1.63 eV), demonstrating significantly enhanced visible-light harvesting efficiency. Antibacterial evaluations revealed that the C/Co/TiO 2-x nanocomposite (5 mg/mL) achieved complete inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) and Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) within 60 and 100 min, respectively, under visible-light irradiation (7 W LED). Radical trapping experiments identified photogenerated holes (h + ) and hydroxyl radicals (·OH) as the predominant reactive species responsible for bacterial inactivation. In vitro cytotoxicity assessment demonstrated excellent biocompatibility of the material. This study successfully illustrates the synthesis of C/Co/TiO 2-x nanocomposites, which exhibit promising potential for antibacterial applications.

Reasonable heterogeneous interface engineering is crucial for achieving efficient and robust oxygen reduction reactions (ORR). Herein, a ferrocene enhanced interface coupling catalyst has been successfully developed, which consists of cobalt‑nitrogen-doped carbon dodecahedra (Co@NC) with cobalt-ferrocene MOF nanosheets (Co-FcDC). The Co@NC/Co-FcDC catalyst demonstrates superior ORR electrocatalytic activity with a half-wave potential of 0.82 V and a good durability. This promoted performance is attributed to the Fc-enhanced interface coupling interaction between Co-FcDC and Co@NC, which optimizes the electron structure of Co nanoparticles (NP s), increases oxygen adsorption, and reduces the energy barrier for converting O-containing intermediates (*OH) into OH − . This research offers a valuable perspective for the reasonable construction of ferrocene-based heterogeneous interfaces for energy storage and conversion.

Electronic metal–support interactions (EMSIs) have opened a new way to tailor the electronic and catalytic properties of supported catalysts. Herein, we demonstrate the EMSIs between Pt nanoparticles and Co(OH)2 flakes grown on SiO2 and show its beneficial effect on enhancing the CO oxidation activity. The EMSI characteristics of the Pt–Co(OH)2/SiO2 catalyst are identified by in situ X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), and transmission electron microscopy. Quantitative XAFS analysis reveals the presence of metallic-like Pt–Co bonds. The formation of Pt–Co intermetallic bonds allows for electron donation form Co to Pt, leading to the negative charging of the Pt atoms as evidenced by reduced Pt 2p-to-5d electron-transition intensity detected by XAFS spectroscopy and the emergence of a CO adsorption band at 2063 cm–1 in DRIFTS. The significance of EMSIs is manifested by comparing the CO oxidation activity over the Pt–Co(OH)2/SiO2 and Pt/SiO2 catalysts with similar Pt loadings. Pt–Co(OH)2/SiO2 is superior to Pt/SiO2 in both the apparent activation energy (19 vs 64 kJ/mol) and the turnover frequency (0.03 vs 0.003 s–1 at 37 °C). The enhanced activity is attributed to the negative charging of Pt, which downshifts the d-band center and reduces the CO adsorption strength.

The decarbonylation of biomass-derived fatty acids (CnH2n+1COOH) presents a sustainable method for producing high-value alkenes (CnH2n). However, the development of efficient and highly selective catalysts for fatty acid decarbonylation remains challenging. In this work, we prepared a series of CoPhPhen/MWCNT-X catalysts by pyrolyzing a 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (PhPhen) Co complex immobilized on multi-walled carbon nanotubes. In the model decarbonylation reaction of stearic acid, the optimized CoPhPhen/MWCNT-900 catalyst demonstrated remarkable catalytic efficacy, with 81.6% conversion of stearic acid and 58.3% yield of heptadecene. Characterization and comparative experiments demonstrated that the substantial phenyl groups in the PhPhen ligand engage in strong π-π interactions with the MWCNT, effectively inhibiting the migration and aggregation of cobalt single atoms during pyrolysis and thus maintaining a high density of active Co single-atom sites. Further electronic structure investigation revealed that the local electron density around the cobalt species markedly rises with higher pyrolysis temperatures, and this electronic impact exhibits a distinct positive association with the decarbonylation performance of catalysts. In situ DRIFTS was employed to reveal the adsorption and reaction process of fatty acids on the Co single-atom active sites: The fatty acid molecule first coordinates to the cobalt center via the carbonyl oxygen, followed by successive dehydration and decarbonylation processes, finally yielding H2O, CO, and olefins.

Choline chloride (ChCl) was used as the hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) and acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide (AM) as the hydrogen bond donor (HBD), and the three materials were mixed in a certain molar ratio to obtain deep eutectic solvent (DES). Subsequently, P(IA-co-AA-co-AM) composite hydrogels were prepared by adding itaconic acid (IA) to DES using the frontal polymerization (FP) method. The hydrogels were characterized by Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the influence patterns of IA content on the mechanical properties, swelling properties, and pH responsiveness of the composite hydrogels were investigated. The results showed that the composite hydrogel exhibited a homogeneous porous structure. The elongation at the break of the composite hydrogel gradually increased with the increase of IA content, and the elongation of the FP4 sample reached 167%. The addition of IA increased the number of hydrophilic groups, resulting in a 2.14-fold increase in the equilibrium swelling of the composite hydrogel in distilled water. P(IA-co-AA-co-AM) composite hydrogels exhibit different swelling patterns in acidic and alkaline environments, making them promising for acid–base indicators, biosensors, and other applications. In this study, a simpler and greener method was proposed to prepare P(IA-co-AA-co-AM) composite hydrogels with pH responsiveness.

A composite material of Co/N-doped porous carbon was derived from a zeolite imidazolate framework (Zn/Co-ZIF) precursor, which exhibited a controllable microstructure and high specific surface area. In order to study the microwave absorption properties of the composites, the Zn/Co-ZIFs were heat-treated at 930°C in a N 2 atmosphere to obtain the composites, in which Co nanoparticles were distributed uniformly in N-doped porous carbon (Co/C composites). Through N 2 adsorption and desorption testing, the specific surface area of the Co/C composites was about 333.5 m 2 g −1 , and the Barrett−Joyner−Halenda (BJH) pore size distribution was 5.7131 nm, with the majority of pores at mesoporous scale. The microwave absorption properties of Co/C composites with different content were then analyzed, revealing that the Co/C composite with absorbent content of 15 wt.% had the smallest reflection loss (−46.36 dB) at a thickness of 3.1 mm. Based on these results, the Co/C composites not only have the advantages of high specific surface area and special porous structure, but with the appropriate absorbent content, the Co/C composites show excellent microwave absorption performance.
