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.

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.

A novel ternary recyclable Fe 3 O 4 /graphene/sulfur-doped g-C 3 N 4 (Fe 3 O 4 /GE/SCN) composite catalyst was synthesized and adopted in a visible-light driven catalytic system for the degradation of ranitidine, which is an important precursor of the emerging disinfection by-product of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). The addition of GE and Fe 3 O 4 significantly improved the interface charge transfer of SCN, increased the light collection efficiency and decreased the photogenerated charge recombination efficiency. Considering both the ranitidine removal efficiency and catalyst recovery, the Fe 3 O 4 mass fraction of 20% (20%-Fe 3 O 4 /GE/SCN) was recommended. Ranitidine (≤ 2 mg/L) was completely removed in 60 min under the conditions of an initial pH of 7.0 and a 20%-Fe 3 O 4 /GE/SCN dose of 1.0 g/L, and its degradation fitted well with the pseudo first-order kinetics model. Electron paramagnetic resonance analysis and trapping experiments confirmed that ·O 2 − , ·OH and h + participated in the degradation of ranitidine. Ranitidine was removed through the pathways of demethylation and hydroxylation based on the analysis of the detected degradation intermediates, and 57.3% of the NDMA formation potential (FP) was reduced after the reaction. The visible-light driven 20%-Fe 3 O 4 /GE/SCN catalytic technology is a promising method not only for the control of NDMA FP but also the catalyst could be recovered and reused.

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.

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.

Due to the increasingly severe water contamination of antibiotics, high-efficient and green removal of antibiotics from aqueous solution is of great significance to environmental remediation and human health. The combined degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) in water by pulsed discharge plasma on water surface (WSPDP) coupled with CaFe 2 O 4 /Bi 2 O 3 composite was investigated. The basic properties of the prepared CaFe 2 O 4 /Bi 2 O 3 composite were analyzed by XRD , SEM, TEM, PL and XPS, which indicated that the CaFe 2 O 4 /Bi 2 O 3 sample was synthesized successfully. Degradation performance revealed that there existed a synergistic effect in the WSPDP + CaFe 2 O 4 /Bi 2 O 3 system, and WSPDP could induce catalysis of CaFe 2 O 4 /Bi 2 O 3 composite. After adding 0.4 g/L 7 wt% CaFe 2 O 4 /Bi 2 O 3 sample to the WSPDP system, the degradation efficiency of TCH improved from 82.9% to 93.8%, and the kinetic constant enhanced from 0.0616 min −1 to 0.0953 min −1 after 30 min of discharge treatment. Furthermore, the effects of pulse peak voltage, pulse frequency, initial pH of solution and air flow rate on TCH degradation were evaluated. The highest TCH degradation efficiency of 97.8% could be obtained at the peak pulse voltage of 24.6 kV, pulse frequency of 50 Hz, initial pH of 3 and air flow rate of 2 L/min within 30 min. OH, h + and O 2 − were the main reactive radicals for TCH degradation in the WSPDP + CaFe 2 O 4 /Bi 2 O 3 system·H 2 O 2 and O 3 were also involved in TCH degradation of the synergistic system, and the addition of CaFe 2 O 4 /Bi 2 O 3 could significantly improve the utilization of H 2 O 2 and O 3 in the solution. The intermediates of TCH degradation were identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Finally, the possible degradation pathways and synergistic degradation mechanism of TCH in the WSPDP + CaFe 2 O 4 /Bi 2 O 3 system were proposed.

Oxygenation of siderite produces hydroxyl radicals (•OH) that are capable of transforming the pollutants. Yet, the influence of low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs)/ thiols (LMWOTs) which are widely occurring in soils and waters on •OH production from the oxygenation process of siderite is poorly understood. Results of this study show that the presence of LMWOAs/LMWOTs significantly facilitated •OH production from siderite oxidation by O 2 at pH 6–8. For instance, at pH 7, the cumulative •OH concentration within 24 h was only 1.3 μM for oxygenation of 1 g/L siderite, while it boosted to 19.7 and 7.2 μM, respectively, with the respective addition of 1 mM ethylenediaminotetraacetate and cysteine. The mechanisms responsible for the enhanced •OH production are associated with the complexation ability and redox activity of LMWOAs/LMWOTs. In the absence of LMWOAs/LMWOTs, •OH is mainly produced from the oxidation of adsorbed Fe(II) by O 2 , followed by the oxidation of structural Fe(II) on siderite surface. In the presence of LMWOAs, LMWOAs react with adsorbed Fe(II) and structural Fe(II) to produce complexed Fe(II). Therefore, the oxidation of LMWOAs complexed Fe(II) by O 2 predominantly contributed to •OH production. Although the complexation ability of LMWOTs is weaker than that of LMOWAs, LMWOTs can reduce O 2 to generate •O 2 − and H 2 O 2 , thus facilitating •OH production. Based on the proposed mechanisms, a kinetic model was developed to quantify the relative contribution of each pathway to •OH production. The addition of 1 mM citrate and cysteine in siderite suspension could increase the removal of trichloroethylene from <5% to 15% and 7%, respectively. Our study reveals the overlooked catalytic effects of LMWOAs/LMWOTs in enhancing •OH production from siderite oxidation by O 2 under redox-dynamic conditions.

The activation capacity of molecular oxygen is an important indicator to evaluate the photocatalytic efficiency of a catalyst. In this paper, MoO3−x nanosheets with oxygen vacancies were deposited on WO3 nanoflowers to form a WOM heterojunction, which improved the photocatalytic performance and molecular oxygen activation ability of the catalyst. This novel WOM heterojunction exhibited excellent photoactivity for degrading rhodamine B (RhB), photocatalytic water splitting ability and molecular oxygen activation ability under sunlight irradiation. Among all the samples, WOM83% could degrade 98% of 30 ppm RhB in 40 min. Meanwhile, WOM83% exhibited the highest hydrogen generation rate (4214.2 μmol h−1 g−1) and the strongest TMB oxidation capacity, and can generate 2.23 μmol of ·O2− in 50 min. The enhanced photocatalytic performance via heterojunction construction may be attributed to these following reasons: (i) higher light absorption achieved by the MoO3−x and WO3 composite; (ii) the matched energy band gap of MoO3−x and WO3 led to higher photogenerated carrier mobility; (iii) MoO3−x with oxygen vacancies as electron traps suppressed the photogenerated carrier recombination; (iv) enhanced molecular oxygen activation ability of the WOM heterojunction, such as the production of ·O2−. The measurements for TMB photo-oxidation and ·O2− showed excellent molecular oxygen activation ability of WOM heterojunctions. Finally, a possible photocatalytic mechanism was proposed. This study provided a viable option for the application of materials with oxygen vacancies to remove pollutants and improve molecular oxygen activation ability.

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.

Summary Both the activity and structure of a cathode, when it is used in non-aqueous Li-O 2 batteries, play a prominent role in the aspects of durability and capacity. In this work, α-MnO 2 /prGO hybrid nanocomposites with a three-dimensional (3D) porous structure are proposed to act as the cathode to improve the battery performance. Highly active α-MnO 2 /prGO nanocomposites with different mass ratios are synthesized through a two-step template method and a subsequent annealing process. It is found that the optimal 50% α-MnO 2 /prGO cathode exhibits outstanding discharge capacity of 13 294 mAh g −1 under the condition of 100 mA g −1 . Meanwhile, with the limited capacity and currency density of 1000 and 100 mA g −1 , respectively, the battery maintains excellent durability for 239 cycles. Significantly, it is clear that the excellent electrochemical performance of the nanocomposites is strongly associated with the synergistic effect of their distinct porous architecture and the ORR/OER catalytic activity.
