This article employs six organic acids to selectively dissolve Mo, Ni and V from spent catalysts, and the most effective acid is identified. Then, the effects of key leaching parameters, including acid concentration, temperature, and S/L ratio, on metal leaching are systematically explored to determine the leaching mechanism. The results demonstrate that the leaching ability of organic acids followed the order: oxalic acid > citric acid > tartaric acid > malonic acid > acetic acid > formic acid. The leaching process of metals was jointly influenced by acidolysis and complexolysis. Among them, more than 93.07 % of Mo, 86.64 % of V, and 74.21 % of Ni were selectively leached with oxalic acid at the optimum condition: S/l: 1/20, oxalic acid: 1.0 mol/L, temp: 60 °C. From the correlation coefficients, the resulting activation energies, and n values, it was demonstrated that Mo and V followed the Avrami dissolution reaction model, V leaching was controlled by the diffusion mode, and Mo leaching was controlled by a mixed mode of chemical reaction and diffusion. The dissolution behavior of both metals consistently adhered to the linear trend of the Avrami kinetic model under varying S/L ratios and oxalic acid concentrations.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the susceptibility of mice with streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetes mellitus (TIDM) to the uptake of pentavalent inorganic arsenic (iAs V ) and the possible molecular mechanism. Methods TIDM was induced in mice by STZ. TIDM and normal mice were treated with 15.0 mg/kg Na 2 HAsO 4 ·12H 2 O by intragastric administration. Then, the concentrations of arsenic in various tissues were measured by atomic fluorescence spectrometry. The gene expression levels of Pit1 and Pit2 were quantified by real-time RT-PCR, and their protein levels were detected by Western blotting in mouse heart, kidney, and liver tissues. Results The concentrations of arsenic in STZ-induced TIDM mouse tissues were higher at 2 h after intragastric administration of Na 2 HAsO 4 ·12H 2 O. Compared with the levels in normal mice, PIT1 and PIT2, which play a role in the uptake of iAs V , were upregulated in the livers and hearts of TIDM mice. PIT1 but not PIT2 was higher in TIDM mouse kidneys. The upregulation of Pit1 and Pit2 expression could be reversed by insulin treatment. Conclusion The increased uptake of iAs V in TIDM mouse tissues may be associated with increased PIT1 and/or PIT2 expression.

An in-depth understanding of the sorption behaviors of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in soil is essential to assess their environmental risks accurately. Due to chemical industry production and waste treatment, co-contamination soil of heavy metals (HMs)-PFASs has become a public concern worldwide. This study investigated soil sorption behaviors of PFASs including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), and perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS). A multiple linear regression (MLR) model was developed to predict the sorption of PFOS in soil. Validation results demonstrated that this model could effectively predict the distribution coefficients ( K d ) of PFOS based on soil organic carbon (OC), silt, clay, and free Fe/Al-oxide contents, exhibiting a strong predictive ability ( r 2 = 0.942, p < 0.001). In six soils, HMs (Cd 2+ and As 5+ ) influence three anionic PFASs sorption primarily by altering the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between soil components and PFASs. The K d values of PFOS tend to rise with increasing Cd 2+ concentration but decline with increasing As 5+ concentration. In contrast, HMs have a relatively minor influence on the sorption of PFOA and PFHxS. Moreover, a nonlinear model was constructed for the first time to quantify the impact of HMs on PFASs sorption. The model achieves exceptional prediction accuracy when applied to both experimental data from this study and literature data. A comprehensive understanding of PFASs sorption behavior in soil under conditions of coexisting HMs is of great significance for formulating targeted degradation and mitigation strategies for co-contaminated sites.

Antimony (Sb) migration in soil and water systems is predominantly governed by its adsorption onto ferrihydrite (FH), a process strongly influenced by natural organic matter. This study investigates the adsorption behavior, stability, and mechanism of FH and FH–humic acid (FH-HA) complexes on Sb(V), along with the fate of adsorbed Sb(V) during FH aging. Batch adsorption experiments reveal that initial pH and concentration significantly influence Sb(V) sorption. Lower pH levels decrease adsorption, while higher concentrations enhance it. Sb(V) adsorption increases with prolonged contact time, with FH exhibiting a higher adsorption capacity than FH-HA complexes. Incorporating HA onto FH surfaces reduces reactive adsorption sites, decreasing Sb(V) adsorption. Adsorbed FH-HA complexes exhibit a higher specific surface area than co-precipitated FH-HA, demonstrating stronger Sb(V) adsorption capacity under various conditions. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirms that Sb(V) adsorption primarily occurs through ligand exchange, forming Fe-O-Sb complexes. HA inhibits the migration of Sb(V), thereby enhancing its retention within the FH and FH-HA complexes. During FH transformation, a portion of Sb(V) may replace Fe(III) within converted iron minerals. However, the combination of relatively high adsorption capacity and significantly lower desorption rates makes adsorbed FH-HA complexes promising candidates for sustained Sb adsorption over extended periods. These findings enhance our understanding of Sb(V) behavior and offer insights for effective remediation strategies in complex environmental systems.

Cyclodextrins (CD) are well known to form host-guest assemblies with hydrophobic compounds. As a structural homologue, starch-guest inclusion complexes (ICs) have become promising in the food, agriculture , and pharmaceutical industries due to their low cost and versatility. This study compared the stabilizing and releasing abilities for thymol of three kinds of pre-formed V-type starch (Water-V, Salt-V, and Alkali-V) and β-CD. The loading efficiency for thymol decreased in the order of Water-V > Alkali-V > CD > Salt-V when removing the free thymol. Water-V, β-CD, and their ICs had better thermal stability with maximum thermal decomposition temperatures over 320 °C. Under non-cold chain daily storage conditions for 4 d, the percentage of thymol released from starch/CD-thymol ICs was 14% (Water-V), 35% (Salt-V), 34% (Alkali-V), and 43% (CD). The Water-V made ICs had good sustained release properties and long-term antibacterial activity , which kept strawberries fresh for 6 d without decay.

As one of the most common inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), ulcerative colitis (UC) has become a rising global health issue that affects people’s quality of life. Conventional therapeutic drugs have low bioavailability and may cause serious side effects due to their lack of acidic resistance and lesion-targeting capabilities. The development of novel nanomedicines to overcome these problems is urgently needed. Nanozymes have attracted attention because of their excellent catalytic efficiency in various harsh environments. In this study, tannic acid-vanadium (TA-V) nanozymes with multienzymatic and excellent antioxidant abilities, which exhibit acidic resistance and a negative surface charge, were successfully developed. All these characteristics make it possible that these nanozymes are not easily decomposed by gastric acid and can effectively accumulate in colitis lesions with a positive charge through oral delivery. In vitro and in vivo experiments further demonstrated the excellent prophylactic and therapeutic value of these compounds in the treatment of UC by scavenging reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) and mitigating the oxidative stress environment, thus downregulating the levels of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. Furthermore, TA-V also showed excellent biosafety and biocompatibility without causing obvious damage to the main organs. This work provides novel preventative and therapeutic TA-V nanozymes that might have potential clinical applications in UC treatment.

In this study, amino group surface-functionalized porous silicon adsorbent was successfully prepared for the first time using diamond wire saw silicon powder (DWSSP) as raw material through copper-assisted chemical etching (Cu-ACE) and organic functional group grafting. Amino-functionalized porous silicon adsorbent (TEPA-GTS-NPSi) can be used for removing As(V) from water. The properties and mechanism of the new adsorbent were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis (BET), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The concentration of metal ions in the solution was determined by inductively coupled plasma spectrometry. Meanwhile, the effects of initial pH, adsorption time, initial concentration and adsorbent dosage on the removal of As(V) in an aqueous solution were studied by intermittent adsorption experiments. The results showed that the adsorption equilibrium could be reached rapidly after 30 min soaking. Under the optimized pH of 7, the maximum adsorption capacity was 13.2 mg/g, and the minimum adsorption limit was 3 mg/L. The adsorbent shows good adsorption performance after five successive regenerated cycles. Based on the density functional theory (DFT) analysis results, the adsorption mechanism is attributed to hydrogen bond interaction between the NH2group and As(V) ions.Keywords:silicon cutting powder;copper-assisted chemical etching;surface modification;waste recycling;arsenic removal

The energy level alignment (ELA) between electron transport layers (ETLs) and perovskite layers would affect the photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), especially for the open-circuit voltage (Voc). However, systematic investigations were rarely reported. In this letter, a series of SnS2/SnS composite ETLs were in situ synthesized, where the doping of SnS was used to adjust the energy level of SnS2 nanosheets. Results showed that electrons could be transferred from perovskite layers to ETLs; even the conduction band (CB) of ETLs was a little higher than that of perovskite layers. In comparison with PSCs based on SnS2 ETLs, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PSCs based on SnS2/SnS was enhanced by 27.95% (from 14.13% to 18.08%) with a higher Voc promotion (from 0.94 to 1.08 V). A corresponding explanation and working principle have been proposed. In addition, a stability test demonstrated that PSCs based on SnS2/SnS ETLs possessed much better stability than that of traditional PSCs based on TiO2 ETLs because of the strong interaction of Pb and S. This work proposes a promising future for reducing the Voc loss and improving the stability of perovskites.

Metal-organic skeleton (MOF) with adjustable pore skeleton and finely reaction sites has been widely accepted in the application of high-performance supercapacitors. Here, the Se-Co-MOF-1 nano-particles obtained by modified doped Se element to Co-MOF and the CoV 3 -MOF nano-sheets obtained by in-situ doped V element in Co-MOF. As a result, Se-Co-MOF-1 and CoV 3 -MOF electrode materials have more electrochemical reactivity, better conductivity and better stability. At a certain current density, Se-Co-MOF-1 and CoV 3 -MOF electrode materials have better mass-specific capacitance and better rate performance than Co-MOF. Furthermore, the Se-Co-MOF-1//AC ASC and CoV 3 -MOF//AC ASC are also assembled, which show relatively excellent power density and energy density compared to similar work reported. The Se-Co-MOF-1//AC ASC and CoV 3 -MOF//AC ASC after 10,000 cycles, their mass-specific capacitance retention rate are still 70.00 %, which further shows the reliable stability of Se-Co-MOF-1 and CoV 3 -MOF electrode materials. This result proves that the synthetic schemes of MOF nano-sheets/nano-particles can be selected as the source of the strategy for preparing excellent electrode materials.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are promising candidates for all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) due to their advantages of good interfacial adhesion and shape flexibility. However, the low ionic conductivity at room temperature (RT) and inferior electrochemical stability at high voltages limit the practical applications of SPEs. In this work, we demonstrate a cryogenic engineering to improve PEO-based SPEs for ASSLBs operated at RT. The rapid in situ cooling process will lead to the uniform formation of PEO crystal nuclei, which can limit the PEO crystal growth in SPEs. The novel crystallization structure could promote the ionic conductivity of SPEs effectively. Such improved cryogenic SPEs display a superior ionic conductivity of 2.17 × 10 −5 S cm −1 and a superior electrochemical stability at RT. A discharge capacity of 154.9 mAh g −1 can be achieved at 0.1 C and RT when LiFePO 4 (LFP) is used as the cathode. The discharge capacity can remain at ~98%, even after 100 cycles performed at 0.1 C. Notably, cryogenic SPEs can be utilized in 4 V-class ASSLBs. A high discharge capacity of 118 mAh g −1 can be achieved at 0.2 C and RT with the LiNi 0.6 Co 0.2 Mn 0.2 O 2 (NCM622) as the cathode and can retain a 94.1% capacity even after 100 cycles. These extraordinary performances of cryogenic SPEs break new ground for the fabrication of ASSLBs operated at RT and high voltages.

Solid-state lithium batteries (SSLBs) have attracted significant attention due to their high energy density and safety. However, the volumetric expansion/contraction of electrodes, along with persistent interfacial side reactions, leads to mechanical stress damage and failure of interfacial ion transport. Herein, we report an interfacial self-healing polymer electrolyte (SHPE) based on gradient covalent–noncovalent dynamic bonds, enabling multi-interfacial dynamic self-healing throughout the lifecycle of SSLBs. Via molecular engineering, high-strength boronic ester bonds are combined with ultrafast dynamic responsive hydrogen bonds to enable efficient room-temperature self-repair of interfacial defects in SSLBs. The rapid dynamic exchange between polymer chains further promoted fast lithium-ion conduction, achieving an ionic conductivity of 1.6 × 10 −3 S cm −1 (25°C). The Li|SHPE|Li cells demonstrated stable cycling for >3000 h. The incorporation of oxidation-resistant boron- and fluorine-containing functional groups extended the electrochemical window to 5.2 V. LiFePO 4 |SHPE|Li and LiCoO 2 (LCO)|SHPE|Li cells delivered >1000 and 700 cycles, respectively, while being compatible with LCO under high voltage (4.6 V) and loading (14 mg cm −2 ). Furthermore, the LCO|SHPE|Li (1.2 Ah) and LCO|SHPE|Si-C (2.5 Ah) pouch cells exhibited 200 and 400 cycles, respectively, and passed nail penetration safety tests. This study provides an interfacial self-healing strategy for developing high-energy-density and high-safety SSLBs.

Phase-pure MgP 2 O 6 and NiP 2 O 6 metaphosphate ceramics were synthesized via solid-state reaction. Both crystallize in a monoclinic C2/c structure, with NiP 2 O 6 exhibiting a contracted unit cell due to the smaller ionic radius of Ni 2+ compared to Mg 2+ . The optimum sintering temperature for MgP 2 O 6 was 975 °C, yielding ε r = 5.1, Q × f = 45,300 GHz, τ f = −14.7 ppm/°C, while for NiP 2 O 6 it was 925 °C, yielding ε r = 5.4, Q × f = 66,100 GHz, τ f = −8.7 ppm/°C. The slightly higher ε r of NiP 2 O 6 stems from higher bond ionicity and polarizability density. The superior Q × f is attributed to a higher packing fraction, larger lattice energies, and weaker phonon damping, as evidenced by a narrower Raman FWHM. The improved τ f arises from stronger A–O and P–O bond energies, resisting thermal vibrations. These results indicate MgP 2 O 6 and NiP 2 O 6 as promising low-permittivity microwave ceramics and suggest that A-site cation engineering provides a promising proof-of-concept for tailoring dielectric properties in metaphosphates.
