In this work, novel heterostructured SrTiO 3 /SrCO 3 (STO/SCO) interface was constructed via the one-pot g-C 3 N 4 (CN) self-sacrificing hydrothermal strategy. The as-developed STO/SCO photocatalyst shows the air cleaning potential in continuous-flow reactors with degradation rates of NO and HCHO at 44 % and 40 %, respectively. From XRD, FTIR, and XPS analysis, CN participates in the crystallise process as the source of CO 3 2− to form the STO/SCO interface viewed by TEM and HRTEM. Subsequent temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculation results revealed the enhanced chemisorption effects of O 2 on the catalyst surface. The existence of oxygen vacancies combined with the formation of heterojunction surface induces intermediate levels, which leads to the photocatalytic oxidation under simulated solar light. Charge difference distribution simulation coupled with electrochemistry and photoluminescence tests confirmed the internal-built electron fields at the heterojunction interface which would be beneficial for photocarriers separation. Based on the above-mentioned effects, enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) OH and O 2 − were detected under light irradiation by electron spin resonance (ESR). This work demonstrates the effectiveness of in-situ self-sacrificed strategy for construction of heterojunction interfaces and provides opportunities by utilising insulator-based materials for photocatalytic degradation of air pollutants.

Bismuth-based photocatalysts are a class of excellent visible-light photocatalysts; however, their redox activity is relatively poor and the efficiency of photogenerated carrier separation is low, limiting their development and application in the field of photocatalysis . To address these issues, a series of polyoxometalate PW 12 O 40 3– -doped Bi 2 O 3– x /Bi Schottky photocatalysts PW 12 @Bi 2 O 3– x /Bi- n (PBOB- n , where n is the amount of NaBH 4 , i.e., 6, 12, 18, 24, and 48 mg) were prepared by a simple electrospinning/calcination/in-situ NaBH 4 reduction method. In this composite photocatalyst, the doping of PW 12 could effectively adjust the electronic structure of Bi 2 O 3– x and improve its redox properties. As a shallow electron trap, PW 12 promoted the separation of the photogenerated carriers. Furthermore, desirable Schottky junction between the metal Bi nanoparticles and PW 12 @Bi 2 O 3– x further accelerated the separation of the photogenerated carriers. The synergistic effect of the aforementioned factors endowed PBOB- n with excellent photocatalytic activity. Among the samples, PBOB-18 exhibited superior photocatalytic activity. Under visible-light irradiation, 93.7% (20 mg catalyst) of 20 ppm tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA, 20 mL) was degraded in 60 min. Its activity was 4.4 times higher than that of Bi 2 O 3 . PBOB-18 also exhibited an ultrahigh photocatalytic performance for the removal of NO. Its removal rate (600 ppb) reached 83.3% in 30 min, making it one of the most active Bi-based photocatalysts. Furthermore, the photocatalytic mechanisms of PBOB-18 for TBBPA and NO have been proposed. This work provides a new direction and reference for the design of low-cost, efficient, stable, and versatile photocatalysts.

The fabrication of anti-biofouling nanofiltration (NF) membrane is one of the effective methods to improve the vulnerability of membranes to bacteria in the feed solution. The prevalent approach to prepare anti-biofouling NF membranes is to graft biotoxic substances onto the NF membrane surface to kill the attached bacteria, inducing antimicrobial resistance in bacteria and water safety problem. In this study, non-biotoxic methyl 2-aminobenzoate (MA) was employed to prepare the anti-biofouling NF membranes. Instead of killing bacteria, the modified NF membrane could effectively prevent proliferation of bacteria on the membrane surface by blocking the quorum sensing in bacteria, thereby avoiding the generation of antimicrobial resistance. On the condition that the bacteria are alive, the biofilm formed by Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) and Bacillus subtilis ( B. subtilis ) on the modified NF membrane were significantly reduced by 94.5% and 65.1%, respectively. Additionally, the modified membrane showed superior anti-adhesion property for proteins and polysaccharides, attributing from the improved hydrophilicity of membrane surface. The optimally modified membrane exhibited the enhanced water permeability (from 6.72 L m -2 h −1 bar −1 to 12.12 L m -2 h −1 bar −1 ) and un-degraded divalent salt rejection (98.4% of Na 2 SO 4 ). This work provided an efficient and non-biotoxic approach for the fabrication of environmental friendly anti-biofouling NF membranes, which would eliminate the worries about the water safety and the development of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria.

The peroxone reaction between O 3 and H 2 O 2 over TiO 2 exhibits bright prospects for low-temperature flue gas denitration, which effectively overcomes the limitations of traditional peroxone reaction and remains advanced poison resistant ability. In this study, sulfur-doped TiO 2 was successfully adopted to improve the catalytic performance under low consumption of O 3 and H 2 O 2 , making this technology take a pivotal step towards practical application. Compared with TiO 2 /H 2 O 2 /O 3 system (68% NO conversion), the NO conversion could reach up to 85% in S-doped TiO 2 /H 2 O 2 /O 3 system under test condition (GHSV = 1.2 × 10 5 h −1 , H 2 O 2 /NO = 1.2, and O 3 /NO = 0.5). Characterizations and density functional theory calculations revealed that sulfur-doping modified the local structure of the catalyst, which enables a more effective combination between Ti 5c and hydroperoxyl, thus facilitating the reaction. Besides, the introduction of sulfur could increase the adsorption capacity of NO x and enhance the Lewis acidity of the catalyst, thus improving the NO conversion performance. The stability and applicability of the process were systematically tested from the following aspects: varied gas composition, H 2 O 2 consumption, pH value, and SO 2 /CO concentration. Results revealed that the S-doped TiO 2 /H 2 O 2 /O 3 system exhibited good stability and poison resistant ability, the potential for practical applications.

Each type of tea has a unique volatile profile due to its variety, processing technologies and origin. Using HS-SPME and GC/MS, we analyzed the changes of volatile components in cultivar Yinghong No. 9 during pile-fermentation every 10 days. A total of 94 compounds showed significant differences during a total of 60 days mainly including alkanes, ketones, esters, terpenes, aromatics and heterocyclic compounds. Interestingly, 13 metabolites were progressively reduced during the first 20 days and remained unchanged in subsequent procedures, while 17 metabolites remained unchanged in the early stage and progressively increased during the last 20 days of pile fermentation, indicating that they are characteristic volatile compounds of raw material sun-dried green tea and dark tea, respectively. β-ionone, phenylethyl alcohol, and a-ionone could be the top three contributed aroma compounds in the final dark tea. Our study provides a theoretical basis for process and quality improvement of Yinghong No. 9.

Abstract CrO x /black-TiO 2 catalysts were prepared by ligand-assisted (citric acid, oxalic acid and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) impregnation method. These catalysts were characterized in detail by means of X-ray diffraction, Raman, BET, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, H 2 and O 2 (NO) temperature programmed reduction or desorption and in-suit DFTIR spectra. The results indicated that ligands assistance was beneficial for CrO x interacted with oxygen vacancies and O–Ti–O structures. Among all the catalysts, CrO x /black-TiO 2 /CA (modified by citric acid) revealed excellent catalytic activity and stability for NO oxidation in the temperature range of 200–450 °C. The characterization results exhibited that the interaction existed between CrO x and oxygen vacancies resulting in more Cr 6+ . Moreover, the strong interaction between CrO x and O–Ti–O was attributed to the modification of carboxylic acid, which increased the content of Cr 3+ and chemical adsorption oxygen. High content of chemical adsorption oxygen promoted the adsorption ability of O 2 , and Cr 6+ enhanced the adsorption capacity of NO. Hence, chemical adsorption oxygen and Cr 6+ synergistically promoted the NO oxidation. Graphic Abstract

Abstract A series of Mn–Ti oxide catalysts were synthesized by the sol–gel method and the effects of different synthesis conditions were investigated in sequence. The microstructures and properties of the catalysts were characterized by using N 2 adsorption–desorption, XRD, SEM, H 2 -TPR, NH 3 -TPD, Raman and XPS. The catalytic performance over Mn–Ti oxide catalysts prepared under different synthesis conditions for the low-temperature SCR of NO with NH 3 were also comparatively evaluated. The results reveal that the calcination temperature and metal source play a significant role in the characteristics and the SCR activities of the catalysts. A relatively low calcination temperature is beneficial to low-temperature SCR activity. Manganese nitrate or manganese acetate as the Mn source combining with tetrabutyl titanate as Ti source can achieve high SCR activities. The excellent low-temperature NH 3 -SCR activity can be ascribed to the appropriate textural properties, amorphous Mn-oxides with equal ratio of Mn 3+ /Mn 4+ , good low-temperature reducibility and abundant surface B-acid sites.

To explore an efficient photocatalyst for NO pollution, a direct Z-scheme photocatalytic system is successfully fabricated by coupling Bi2WO6 with NH2-UiO-66 via a simple hydrothermal synthesis technique. The Z-scheme system promotes the NO photocatalytic oxidation activity with an optimum NO removal rate of 79%, which is 2.7 and 1.2 times that obtained by using only pristine Bi2WO6 and NH2-UiO-66, respectively. Simultaneously, superior selectivity for converting NO to NO3−/NO2− is observed. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of the Bi2WO6/NH2-UiO-66 hybrids is attributed to the following two aspects: (i) large specific area of NH2-UiO-66, which exposes more active sites and is beneficial to the adsorption and activation of NO; (ii) outstanding Z-scheme structure constructed between BiWO6 and NH2-UiO-66, which can improve the efficiency of the separation of electron–hole pairs and preserves the strong oxidation ability of hybrids. ESR analysis shows that ·O2− and ·OH contribute to NO removal. A possible photocatalytic mechanism of NO oxidation on the direct Z-scheme photocatalyst (BWO/2NU) under visible light irradiation is proposed. This work displays the BWO/2NU hybrid's potential for treating low-concentration air pollutants, and the proposed Z-scheme photocatalyst design and promotion mechanism may inspire more rational synthesis of highly efficient photocatalysts for NO removal.

Nitric oxide and sulfur dioxide from the exhaust gases of marine diesel engines are harmful for the environment and human health. Environmentally friendly sodium persulfate, which satisfies the requirements of ships and navigation, was used as the main absorbent for the simultaneous removal of SO2 and NO in a self-designed bubble column reactor with an industrial gas distributor in this work. The focus of this work was the absorption of the insoluble NO. The influences of various parameters including the reaction temperature, Na2S2O8 concentration, NO concentration, pH value of the solution, and presence of coexisting gases on NO absorption were comprehensively and systematically studied according to the different working conditions of marine diesel engines. Furthermore, experiments for simultaneously removing SO2 and NO were conducted. Different from the previous studies, the new experimental results showed that the increase of NO concentration and the pH value of 12 were not conducive to the NO absorption; the highest removal efficiency of NO was at pH of 9; the existence of sulfur dioxide weakened the absorption of nitric oxide; the final products of the simultaneous absorption were sulfate and nitrate according to the product detection results. However, the SO2 and NO in simulated exhaust gases (900 ppm SO2, 1000 ppm NO, 15% O2 and 5% CO2) from marine diesel engines were completely absorbed under nonoptimal conditions (at 70 °C and in a 0.15 mol/L sodium persulfate solution), which indicated that sodium persulfate is promising for use in wet emission control technologies for marine diesel engines.

The nitrogen-rich ZnO/g-C 3 N 4 composites were prepared and exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution and NO photo-oxidation under visible-light illumination. The obtained nitrogen-rich ZnO/g-C 3 N 4 composite has efficient visible-light utilization and effective separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Experimental data verifies that the photocatalytic activity of ZnO/g-C 3 N 4 composite could be improved by N dopant. NZnOCN1 composite exhibits the highest photocatalytic activity for H 2 evolution and NO removal. The results show that the possible mechanism of the photocatalytic H 2 evolution reaction is the type II mechanism, while the Z-scheme mechanism of nitrogen-rich ZnO/g-C 3 N 4 composite is conducive to NO photo-oxidation.

Gaseous therapy based on nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as a potential tumor therapy route. However, the development of a NO generator with precisely controlled NO releasing in the target site is still facing enormous challenges. Herein, a typical NO delivery platform by integrating the hollow structured polydopamine (PDA) coated Bi2S3 nanohybrids (denoted as H-Bi2S3@PDA) with a heat-sensitive S-nitrosothiol (RSNO) molecule was explored for near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive on-demand NO-releasing and synergetic gas/photothermal combination therapy of tumors. The designed H-Bi2S3@PDA nanocomposites hold high photothermal conversion efficiency of 46.13% under irradiation of a NIR laser, leading to NIR light-triggered controllable generation of NO gas via breaking the S–NO bonds of the heat-sensitive RSNO molecules. More importantly, synergistic gas/photothermal therapy of the tumor was also achieved, which presented remarkable inhibition growth and ablation of tumors. These findings provide the opportunity to design a NIR light-activated NO generator with a combination of photothermal materials and heat-sensitive molecules for integrative gas/photothermal therapy in deep tumors.

Ceria has absorbed extensive interests in functioning as catalysts for low-temperature (LT) selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx due to its abundant surface oxygen species and salient redox property. The mechanistic interpretations of how such redox property contributes to its LT-SCR activity, however, still remain debated. Here, we use a model tungsten-promoted ceria catalyst (WO 3 /CeO 2 ), known as preeminent in LT-SCR reactions, and combine steady-state kinetic, structural characteristic and in situ spectroscopic experiments with theoretical treatments to reveal the mechanistic connections between NO oxidative activation and LT-SCR turnovers. We show that, compared with NO oxidation to NO 2 , NO oxidative activation to nitrite intermediates is both kinetically and thermodynamically more favorable; surface nitrate species are not detected in the present case, indicating their more difficult formation than nitrites. All these results thus suggest the prevalence of NO activation to nitrites over NO to nitrates or oxidation to NO 2 and subsequent occurrence of fast SCR in the WO 3 /CeO 2 -catalyzed LT-SCR reaction. These findings progress the understanding of LT-SCR reaction mechanism on CeO 2 -based catalysts and convey a detailed perspective of different reaction intermediates and their consequences for LT-SCR turnovers, which may contribute to the rational design of catalysts towards further improved LT-SCR activity.
