A hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent (HDES) based on lidocaine and thymol was examined for selective extraction and separation of Au(III), Pd(II) and Pt(IV) in the acidic leaching solution of secondary resources. At first, the properties of HDES were characterized by 1 H NMR, DSC, TGA, RDF and ESP to prove its suitability for extraction process. In addition, extraction behaviors, maximum extraction capacities and competitive extraction experiment were investigated to explore the extraction ability of HDES. The results show that the maximum extraction capacity of Au(III), Pd(II) and Pt(IV) reached 761.2 g/L, 98.3 g/L and 299.3 g/L, respectively. Meanwhile, their extraction efficiency was affected by the changing acidity of aqueous. And then, ion-association mechanism in the extraction process was proposed through the analysis of FT-IR. Finally, a separation process was proposed for the recovery of Au(III), Pd(II) and Pt(IV) based on acidity control and KSCN, which achieved recovery efficiency of 97.8 % Au(III), 99.9 % Pd(II) and 89.5 % Pt(IV). After collecting and regenerating the used HDES, their extraction performance of Au(III), Pd(II) and Pt(IV) were still maintained.

Cu2Ni0·05Zn0·95Sn(S,Se)4(CNZTSSe) films were synthesized on Mo-coated glass substrates by the simple sol–gel means combined with the selenization process, and CNZTSSe-based solar cells were successfully prepared. The effects of selenization temperature on the performance and the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of the solar cells were systematically studied. The results show that the crystallinity of films increases as the selenization temperature raises based on nickel (Ni) doping. When the selenization temperature reached 540 °C, CNZTSSe films with a large grain size and a smooth surface can be obtained. The Se doping level gradually increased, and Se occupied the S position in the lattice as the selenization temperature was increased so that the optical band gap (Eg) of the CNZTSSe film could be adjusted in the range of 1.14 to 1.06 eV. In addition, the Ni doping can inhibit the deep level defect of SnZnand the defect cluster [2CuZn+ SnZn]. It reduces the carrier recombination path. Finally, at the optimal selenization temperature of 540 °C, the open circuit voltage (Voc) of the prepared device reached 344 mV and the PCE reached 5.16%.Keywords:solar cell;selenidation temperature;CNZTSSe;sol gel

The photocatalytic hydrogen production efficiency of a single SrTiO3photocatalytic catalyst is often low, which is mainly due to the serious combination of electrons and holes produced by photocatalysis as well as the mismatch of the redox capacity and light absorption range. Construction of semiconductor heterojunctions can solve these problems. CdS has a narrow band gap, which can effectively utilize visible light, and it has a band structure matched with that of SrTiO3. Therefore, CdS is considered as an ideal candidate for constructing heterojunctions with SrTiO3. In this paper, bamboo pulp fibers were used as the substrate, and SrTiO3was coated on the substrate through the solvothermal process. CF/SrTiO3rich in oxygen vacancies was formed by high temperature carbonization, and heterojunctions were formed by loading CdS on the surface of the CF/SrTiO3composite material through the hydrothermal method, thus obtaining one-dimensional CF/SrTiO3/CdS core–shell photocatalysts. The structure and photocatalytic hydrogen production performance of the CF/SrTiO3/CdS core–shell photocatalysts were mainly studied. The photocatalytic hydrogen production experiment showed that the hydrogen production rate of the CF/SrTiO3/CdS-2 sample under the optimized process was as high as 577.39 μmol/g·h, which was about 11 times that of the CF/SrTiO3sample. In this composite photocatalytic material system, the loading of the CdS nanospheres could enhance the visible light absorption capacity of the composite catalyst, promote the rapid separation and high-speed migration of photocarriers, and significantly improve the photocatalytic activity.Keywords:SrTiO3;photocatalytic;hydrogen production;carbon fiber;oxygen vacancy;CdS

Carbon steel is the most widely used engineering material , and its corrosion is one of the main areas of concern in many industries. The most practical approach to control this problem is to use corrosion inhibitors . Currently, because of their good water solubility, excellent chemical stability, low cost and nontoxic features, carbon dots (CDs), especially heteroatom-doped CDs, have been developed as green corrosion inhibitors, but the corrosion inhibition efficiency and underlying mechanisms of single- or dual-element doping have not yet been accurately compared and analyzed. Inspired by this, eco-friendly nitrogen-doped and nitrogen, sulfur codoped CDs ( N -CDs and N,S-CDs) are prepared via a one-step hydrothermal process, and a comparative study on their inhibition performance for carbon steel corrosion in strong acidic solution is performed. The results show that both N -CDs and N,S-CDs can restrain the corrosion of carbon steel, and their inhibition efficiency increases with increasing concentration and immersion time, reaching approximately 87.9% ( N -CDs) and 96.4% (N,S-CDs) at 200 ppm after 1 h of immersion. Molecular dynamics simulation indicates that the strong interaction ability between N,S-CDs and the Fe substrate leads to higher corrosion inhibition performance than the single N doping case, benefiting from the multi-anchor adsorption of N,S-CDs on carbon steel in a strong acidic solution. Therefore, the facile preparation, eco-friendliness and high corrosion inhibition performance of N,S-CDs will provide a new approach for designing highly efficient carbon dots and broadening the application of carbon dots in the corrosion field.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) has become a competitive candidate for efficient and economical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Compared with 1T-MoS 2 , 2H-MoS 2 possesses exceptional thermodynamic stability but still suffers from low active site density, poor conductivity, and weak hydrogen bonding in the wide pH range. Herein, 2H-MoS 2 nanoflowers with phosphorus doping, sulfur vacancies and crystalline-amorphous heterojunction were synthesized via phosphorus-assisted rapid calcination method. Benefiting from the cooperative interaction of multiple strategies, the prepared 2H-MoS 2 nanoflowers firstly achieve efficient pH-universal HER at high current densities. Experimental results show that in alkaline, acidic, and neutral media, MoS 2 -P2 requires only 332, 302, and 417 mV to drive the current density of 500 mA cm −2 and obtains 932, 1100, and 472 mA cm −2 at the potential of −0.4 V vs. RHE, respectively. Moreover, MoS 2 -P2 shows excellent stability of low and high current density in the full pH range.

Silver is widely used in medical materials, photography, electronics and other industries as a precious metal. The large-scale industrial production of silver-containing products and liquid waste emissions aggravate the environmental pollution. Silver ion is one of the most toxic metal ions, causing pollution to the environment and damage to public health. Therefore, the efficient and sensitive detection of Ag+ in the water environment is extremely important. Sulfur-doped carbon nitride nanosheets (SCN Ns) were prepared by melamine and thiourea via high-temperature calcination. The morphology, chemical composition and surface functional groups of the SCN Ns were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, and FT-IR. The fluorescence of SCN Ns was gradually quenched as the Ag+ concentration increased. The detection limit for Ag+ was as low as 0.28 nM. The quenching mechanism mainly is attributed to static quenching. In this paper, SCN Ns were used as the fluorescent probe for detecting Ag+. SCN Ns have successfully detected Ag+ in different environmental aqueous samples and cells. Finally, SCN Ns were further applied to the visual quantitative detection of intracellular Ag+.

Porous carbon materials have been widely used as electrode materials for supercapacitors . However, low specific capacitance severely hinders the practical application. To further improve the capacitance, this work reports a facile approach to prepare N, S co-doped hierarchical porous carbon/MnO 2 composites (NSPC/MnO 2 ). Acidified thiourea, acting as N and S source, is used to crosslink sodium alginate (SA) to give SA-based composite gels which are pyrolyzed to produce NSPC/MnO 2 . X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectra proved that manganese exists in the porous carbon in the form of MnO 2 . The obtained NSPC/MnO 2 exhibit hierarchical porous structure, remarkable mesoporous feature (the proportion of mesopores and macropores reached 32.69%), and high specific surface area of 1701 m 2 g −1 . Meanwhile, NSPC/MnO 2 show abundant heteroatom doping, i.e. Mn (2.05 at%), N (6.76 at%), and S (2.16 at%), which provided plenty of pseudocapacitance. The electrochemical tests show that NSPC/MnO 2 as electrode material can reach a high specific capacity of 281.1 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 (which is almost 1.85 times higher than the comparative sample), with good cycling stability (86.02% after 5000 cycles at 10 A g −1 ).

Visible light photocatalysis represents a promising procedure for indoor air purification . Here we developed the Ag nanoparticles decorated graphitic carbon nitride photocatalyst film supported on glass substrate . This photocatalyst film can effectively use visible light to degrade various volatile organic compounds which contain formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, ethylene, benzene, toluene, and p -xylene and deactivate Escherichia coli , Staphylococcus aureus , and Candida albicans . The decoration of Ag nanoparticles enhanced the visible-light-driven activity of graphitic carbon nitride because Ag nanoparticles strongly absorb visible light through the localized surface plasmon resonance effect and facilitate the efficient separation of charge carriers by forming Schottky barrier with the semiconductor. Photo-generated holes and superoxide radical anions, rather than hydroxyl radicals , are the major active species in the photocatalytic degradation of volatile organic compounds and deactivation of microorganisms . The application potential of the developed photocatalyst film for indoor air purification was demonstrated by the efficient removal of HCHO and TVOC under a simulated indoor environment and the favorable recyclability of the photocatalyst.

Herein, we developed a low-cost fabrication route to prepare chemically grafted activated carbon fibers, which effectively removed Pb2+ from solution. Multiple characteristic results indicated that L-cyst-ACF had abundant nitrogen-containing and sulfur-containing functional groups. Based on the XPS and EDS analyses, the capture of Pb2+ was attributed to the abundant adsorption sites on the fiber surface. According to the analysis of the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model, the adsorption process could be interpreted as monolayer adsorption and chemisorption, and the equilibrium adsorption capacity was determined to be 136.80 mg g−1 by fitting the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum adsorption capacity of L-cyst-ACF for Pb2+ was calculated to be 179.53 mg g−1 using the Langmuir model. In addition, the adsorption reaction was endothermic and spontaneous, as evidenced by the thermodynamic parameters. The outcomes of this study provide a low-cost and feasible strategy for the remediation of Pb2+ pollution in the environment.

Simple and effective synthesis methods for 2D/2D heterostructure and the synergistic effect of 2D/2D composites on microwave absorbing (MWA) performance remain to be further explored and investigated. Herein, 2D/2D MoS 2 /Ti 3 C 2 T x heterostructure was successfully synthesized in 30 min by a cost-effective and time-saving microwave-assisted hydrothermal method . The 2 H-MoS 2 nanosheets with a thickness of 5–10 nm were homogeneously anchored on the surface of Ti 3 C 2 T x layers, showing a tunable distribution density. Besides, the metallic properties of MoS 2 /Ti 3 C 2 T x and the strong interaction between MoS 2 and Ti 3 C 2 T x , were revealed by DFT calculations, which was employed to further understand the MWA mechanism in terms of molecular dynamics. The MoS 2 /Ti 3 C 2 T x composites with an optimum mass ratio of MoS 2 to Ti 3 C 2 T x (6:1) displayed the best MWA performance. The minimum reflection loss ( RL ) value of −41.5 dB was attained with a layer thickness of only 2.0 mm at 12.2 GHz and a 3.6 GHz maximum efficacious absorption bandwidth. The MWA mechanism of MoS 2 /Ti 3 C 2 T x composites was comprehended from multiple reflections and scattering effects, synergetic effects of conductive losses and attenuation capacity, and polarization relaxations. This work provides a facile method for the synthesis of 2D/2D heterostructure, and also provides a candidate material as potential microwave absorber.

The anode materials with high capacity, excellent reversibility and good cycling stability are important for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) application. Herein, we construct a freestanding anode structure by bounding the carbon-coated MoS 2 on porous carbon nanofibers (C@MoS 2 @PCNF) for PIBs. Benefiting from the frame supporting of carbon nanofiber and carbon coating, the C@MoS 2 @PCNF materials have high conductivity and firm electrode structure . The porous structure of the carbon nanofibers alleviate the volume expansion of the MoS 2 nanosheets during the reaction process effectively. Meanwhile, the MoS 2 nanosheets have abundant dislocation defects and larger interlayer spacing. The C@MoS 2 @PCNF materials present excellent potassium storage performance used as PIBs anode. It delivers a high reversible capacity and a superior rate capacity, corresponding value are 323 mA h g −1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA h g −1 current density and 198 mA h g −1 at 1000 mA g −1 current density. The ex-situ atomic force microscope (AFM) images reveal the process of gradually forming SEI on the surface of C@MoS 2 @PCNF during the first cycle. Moreover, the C@MoS 2 @PCNF is assembled for potassium ion capacitor (PIC) with activated carbon (AC) to evaluate the potential application, which presents an excellent cycle stability.

Quinclorac (QNC) and Cr(VI), are common contaminants in surface waters, posing serious hazard to human and ecological health. Nano FeS, an effective catalyst that has excellent redox properties, is susceptible to over-oxidation and agglomeration problems, which impede its practical application. Herein, nano-Fe 1−x S was modified by stable iron oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) and biochar (BC AA /Fe 1−x S/Fe 3 O 4 ), which presented the core (Fe 1−x S) shell (Fe 3 O 4 )-like structure uniformly dispersed on BC AA surface. The composite overcame the disadvantages of nano-Fe 1−x S and achieved high removal efficiency of 100% and 99.98% for QNC and Cr(VI), respectively. Based on XPS analysis, Fe(II) content was reduced from 53.3% to 34.2% and S(II) content from 13.0% to 6.5%. Fe(II) species in the composite were the main active substance for QNC degradation and Cr(VI) reduction, and S(II) species also indirectly provided electrons to promote Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ cycling. Then, we identified the intermediates of QNC and active radicals • OH or SO 4 •− in the system to suggest possible degradation pathways. We further discovered no mutual interference between QNC and Cr(VI) and proposed the possible mechanism for simultaneous removal that QNC degradation by radical attack and Cr(VI) reduction by electrons.
