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.

The synthesis of poly(methyhydrosiloxane) (PMHS) and N,N′-bis(3-allyl)pyromellitic diimide was optimized for O2/N2 separation. The membrane exhibits excellent mechanical and thermal properties and shows an O2/N2 selectivity of up to 4.44 with an O2 permeability of 31.0 Barrer; compared with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and pure polyimide (PI) membranes, the separation selectivity shows a 107% increase for PDMS, and the permeation shows a 660% increase for pure PI. The obtained results were well above the ones reported on the literature for similar conditions opening the door for the preparation of a stable polysiloxane (PMHS-I) gas separation membrane with extraordinary O2/N2 separation performance.

In this study, a novel reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) made of Pd-loaded porous Ti was prepared to achieve ultrafast and efficient oxidation of trace antibiotics sulfamethoxazole (SMX) under anodic polarization. At a current density of 0.5 mA/cm 2 , the percentage removal of SMX by the REM was 96.3% in flow-through mode, with the energy cost ( i.e. , the electrical energy per order of removal, 1.34 Wh/m 3 ) being much lower than the flow-by mode (125.76 Wh/m 3 ) under the same operating condition. Quenching experiments and electron spin resonance spectra demonstrated that singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) was the main reactive oxygen species in the REM system, playing a vital role in SMX degradation. Results of this study indicated that 1 O 2 was mainly generated on the anode via Pd–O 2 interaction that directly activated oxygen, rather than the evolution of 1 O 2 precursors ( e.g ., O 2 − and H 2 O 2 ). The constantly high electrochemical removal of SMX (88.5–91.9%) from actual surface water demonstrated that the matrix effect on the process performance was minimal in realistic applications, highlighting this novel REM to be a viable way to remove trace organic contaminants from surface water.

The local crystal sites occupied by Eu3+ in Ca5(BO3)3F:1% Eu3+ phosphor were investigated experimentally and theoretically. Ca5(BO3)3F:1% Eu3+ was synthesized by high-temperature solid-state method in air. The crystal structure and optical properties of the phosphor were studied by X-ray powder diffraction and photoluminescence, respectively. Two different O2− → Eu3+ CT broad bands with the peaks at 266 and 283 nm in Ca5(BO3)3F:1% Eu3+ were detected, indicating the Eu3+ sites occupied Ca2 and Ca1, respectively. The different sharp f–f emission spectra under the excitation of 283 and 266 nm proved that there are two different local lattice environments around Eu3+ existing in Ca5(BO3)3F:1% Eu3+. Environmental factor he, the standard deviation of environmental factor (EFSD) and the bond energy were used to illustrate and explain the site occupancy mechanism of Eu3+ into the host lattice. By comparing the intensity ratios of 5D0 → 7F2 transition to the 5D0 → 7F1 transition, I(5D0/7F2)/I(5D0/7F1) of Eu3+ at Ca2 (7.381) was found to be 2.5 times stronger than that of Eu3+ at Ca1 site (2.933). was calculated to analyze the I(5D0/7F2)/I(5D0/7F1) value. On the basis of the bond valence model, a bond-energy method was used to study the occupancy of the Eu ion, which indicated that the preferential sites of Eu ion occupancy in the Ca5(BO3)3F are the Ca2 and Ca1 sites. All three theoretical calculation results are consistent with each other.

Bifunctionalized NH2-UiO-66-CF3 nanofillers were successfully prepared by grafting - CF3 on NH2-UiO-66 via aldehyde-amine condensation reaction and applied to the preparation of 6FDA-ODA/NH2-UiO-66-CF3 mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). The successful introduction of -NH2 and -CF3 groups was verified by FT-IR, XRD, and XPS characterization, and the integrity of the crystal structure was ensured. Due to the presence of hydrogen bonding, NH2-UiO-66-CF3 showed good interfacial compatibility with the polymer matrix. Due to the introduction of the - CF3 group, the MMMs exhibited excellent thermal stability (T10% > 500°C, Tg = 300°C–305°C), hydrophobicity (contact angle of 92.96–97.71), and mechanical properties (tensile strength of 74–85 MPa). The gas separation performance tests showed that the MMMs exhibited significantly improved gas permeability and selectivity compared to the pure 6FDA-ODA membranes, which was attributed to the fact that the -NH2 and -CF3 groups provided more adsorption sites for gases. In particular, the PI/NUF(10) MMMs showed the best performance, with permeabilities of 42.71, 9.22, and 92.79 Barrer for CO2, O2, and He, respectively, which were 248%, 213%, and 173% higher than those of the pure membranes. Meanwhile, the selectivities of CO2/N2, O2/N2 and He/N2 were improved by 37%, 24%, and 8%, respectively. Close to the Robeson upper limit, demonstrating excellent gas separation potential.

Photocatalytic degradation is an effective technology for degrading water pollution that plays a significant role in environmental remediation. Ternary 2D ternary V-VI-VIIA semiconductors are ideal candidates for photocatalytic degradation of pollutants due to effective light absorption and high charge carrier mobility. In this work, high-quality SbSeI crystals were prepared using the chemical vapor transport (CVT) method and their photocatalytic degradation performance for multiple pollutants was studied. SbSeI exhibits excellent photocatalytic performance in the degradation of potassium dichromate (Cr (VI)), rhodamine B (RhB), tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) and methyl orange (MO). More than 98% of Cr (VI) and RhB can be removed after irradiation with an Xe lamp for 10 min and 40 min, respectively. The capture experiments and electron spin resonance results indicated that · O 2 − plays a major role in reducing Cr (VI), while h + plays a primary role in the degradation of MO, RhB and TC-HCl. Interestingly, the degradation rate of Cr (VI) is 1.3 times higher than that of a single pollutant system, and the degradation rate of RhB is 1.6 times higher, due to the enhanced separation and utilization of holes and electrons. The results demonstrate that SbSeI is a potential photocatalytic degradation material.

Selective catalytic reduction of NO using CO (CO-SCR) is a promising technology for the purification of NO in the flue gas. However, the presence of O 2 significantly inhibits the activity of the CO-SCR catalyst. Herein, we synthesize a hollow Mn-doped CeO 2 @Co 3 O 4 catalyst (Mn-CeO 2 @Co 3 O 4 ), which achieved 82% NO conversion, 100% CO conversion, and 78% N 2 selectivity under 5 vol% O 2 at 200 °C, superior to those of CeO 2 @Co 3 O 4 and Co 3 O 4 @CeO 2 catalysts. The characterization results indicate that the strong electronic interaction at the heterointerfaces between Co 3 O 4 and CeO 2 plays a crucial role in promoting selective adsorption of NO. Furthermore, the Mn doping into the Co 3 O 4 lattice of the catalyst facilitates the conversion of N 2 O intermediates, thereby enhancing the overall activity. This research provides a new strategy for the design and synthesis of CO-SCR catalysts.

Purpose Transferrin receptors (TfRs) are overexpressed in tumor cells but are scarce in normal tissues, which makes TfR an attractive target for drug treatment of cancer. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of BP9a (CAHLHNRS) as a peptide vector for constructing TfR targeted peptide-drug conjugates and selective drug delivery. Methods Doxorubicin (DOX) was connected to BP9a via a disulfide-intercalating linker to afford a reduction-responsive BP9a-SS-DOX conjugate. By using HepG2 human liver cancer cells and L-O2 normal hepatic cells as TfR over-expressing and low-expressing in vitro models, respectively, TfR mediated cellular uptake of this conjugate was studied by using flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The in vitro cytotoxicities of the conjugate against HepG2 and L-O2 cells were examined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay to evaluate its tumorous specificity. Results Cellular uptake and TfR blockage test results showed that the BP9a-SS-DOX conjugate gained entry into HepG2 cells via endocytosis mediated by TfR and mainly accumulated in cytoplasm. The in vitro antiproliferative activity of this conjugate against HepG2 cells (IC 50 6.21 ± 1.12 μM) was approximately one-sixth of that of free DOX (IC 50 1.03 ± 0.13 μM). However, its cytotoxic effect on L-O2 cells was obviously reduced compared with that of free DOX. Conclusions The BP9a-SS-DOX conjugate showed specific antiproliferative activity against HepG2 liver cancer cells. Our study suggests that BP9a has the potential to target chemotherapeutic agents to tumor cells over-expressing TfR and facilitate selective drug delivery.

In this study, the magnetic core-shell nanomaterial Fe 3 O 4 /SiO 2 /N-TiO 2 /Ag/AgCl (FSNT/Ag/AgCl) that efficiently degraded methyl orange (MO) was produced. The dosages of tetrabutyl titanate (TBOT), urea and AgNO 3 were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). Scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis (XPS), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectrum (UV–vis DRS) were used to characterize the nanomaterial. The particle size of FSNT/Ag/AgCl was 91.98 nm, and it presented a core-shell structure with Fe 3 O 4 as the core, SiO 2 and N-TiO 2 wrapped in Fe 3 O 4 , and Ag/AgCl deposited on the outermost layer. Performance and mechanism research experiments showed that under the optimized conditions of 1 g/L FSNT/Ag/AgCl, pH = 9, temperature of 35℃ and initial MO concentration of 10 mg/L, about 90 % of MO was degraded in 20 min. The mineralization rate was 35.2 % within 120 min. Holes (h + ) and superoxide anions (·O 2 − ) were the main active substances in the whole photocatalytic degradation. FSNT/Ag/AgCl could be recovered by magnet. After 5 repeated experiments, the degradation rate of MO within 100 min still reached 88.5 %. This work provides a recyclable core-shell nanomaterial for faster degradation of dye wastewater.

Self-healing is an effective strategy to improve the durability of a superhydrophobic surface, but a challenge remains in repairing its multi-scale structures and wettability simultaneously after damage. Here we report a self-healable superhydrophobic aerogel that spontaneously restores its superhydrophobicity, microstructure and macroscopic configuration simultaneously after physical or chemical damage. The superhydrophobic aerogel is fabricated by decorating an alginate-based aerogel with silver nanoparticles and octadecylamine (ODA). Once the aerogel is scratched or cut, it repairs both hierarchical structures and configuration integrity autonomously via wetting/heating processes, resulting in the recovery of superhydrophobicity and mechanical properties. Even after being etched with O2 plasma, it regains its superhydrophobic properties through a simple heat treatment. The robust healability is attributed to the dynamic catechol–Fe coordination as well as thermally induced rearrangement of ODA molecules. This concept of robust healability offers a new insight into the design of robust superhydrophobic surfaces aiming at various technological applications.

The valorization of crude glycerol, a major byproduct of biodiesel production, into high-value chemicals is critical for sustainable biorefineries. Herein, we report a novel alkali-free and homogeneous photocatalytic strategy for selectively converting glycerol to glycolic acid (GLYA) and formic acid (FA) using H 2 O 2 as a radical initiator under 365 nm UV irradiation. By optimizing volume fraction of H 2 O 2 (3.18％), light intensity (10 W), and temperature (35 °C), 99.3 % glycerol conversion with 23.47 % GLYA yield and 22.66 % FA yield was achieved within 2 h at ambient pressure. Crucially, scavenging experiments, post-illumination reactivity studies and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra revealed a synergistic •OH /•O 2 ⁻/ 1 O 2 radical cycle triggered by H 2 O 2 photolysis: (1) •OH initiates glycerol oxidation to glyceraldehyde; (2) •O 2 ⁻ (generated from O 2 reduction or H 2 O 2 decomposition) produces 1 O 2, which drives selective C-C cleavage to GLYA; (3) •OH/•O 2 ⁻/ 1 O 2 cycle enables mutual regeneration of active species, sustaining oxidation even after light cessation. This autocatalytic cycle eliminates the need for strong bases or noble metals, offering a green, energy-efficient route for glycerol upcycling.

Direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (DSHP) from H2 and O2 offers a promising alternative to the present commercial anthraquinone method, but it still faces the challenges of low H2O2 productivity, low stability of catalysts, and high risk of explosion. Herein, by loading in a microchannel reactor, the as-synthesized Pd–Sn alloy materials exhibit high catalytic activity for H2O2 production, presenting a H2O2 productivity of 3124 g kgPd–1 h–1. The doped Sn atoms on the surface of Pd not only facilitate the release of H2O2 but also effectively slow down the deactivation of catalysts. Theoretical calculations demonstrate that the Pd–Sn alloy surface has the property of antihydrogen poisoning, showing higher activity and stability than pure Pd catalysts. The deactivation mechanism of the catalyst was elucidated, and the online reactivation method was developed. In addition, we show that the long-life Pd–Sn alloy catalyst can be achieved by supplying an intermittent flow of hydrogen gas. This work provides guidance on how to prepare high performance and stable Pd–Sn alloy catalysts for the continuous and direct synthesis of H2O2.
