Photocatalytic oxidation of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) is a promising technology for environmental protection and green sustainable development. However, its practical application remains limited due to inefficient activation of NO and O 2 , stemming from inadequate structural design of photocatalysts. Herein, we developed a thin-layer two-dimensional (2D) material Bi 2 MoO 6 (BMO) via cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CTAC) addition in synthesis process, which effectively modulates the surface electronic structure, enhance the light absorption and activation of NO and O 2 . This thin-layer Bi 2 MoO 6 nanosheets achieved a NO oxidation efficiency of 45.3 %, which was about 5.5 times that of traditional bulk BMO (8.2 %). Additionally, it demonstrated superior selectivity for NO 2 − /NO 3 − production (86.6 %) compared to bulk BMO (60.5 %) and significantly reduced the formation of toxic NO 2 byproducts (13.4 % vs. 39.5 %). Combining experimental characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) simulations, it demonstrated that the electron-hole pair separation could be promoted and targeted adsorption activation of O 2 can be enhanced to form superoxide radicals (•O 2 − ) and singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) via the effect of surface charge transfer adjustment on the thin-layer structure of Bi 2 MoO 6 , which are key factors affecting the efficiency and selectivity of photocatalytic oxidation of NO. This work provides important insights into the formation of directed ROS and proposes a unique mechanism for selective NO oxidation.

Fly ash, a solid waste rich in silicon (Si) and aluminum (Al), offers significant potential for valorization through the high-value synthesis of zeolites, exemplifying the waste-to-wealth approach. We determined the optimal synthesis conditions for FA-β zeolite using the alkali fusion hydrothermal synthesis method, with fly ash as the primary raw material. The conditions included a NaOH/FA ratio of 1.2, a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 30, an H2O/Al2O3 ratio of 1200, a TEAOH/Al2O3 ratio of 14, a β-seed addition of 7.5%, and hydrothermal conditions of 140 °C for 72 h. XRD and FTIR analyses confirmed that the diffraction peaks of the synthesized fly ash-based zeolite align well with the standard pattern of commercial β zeolite. Removal experiments indicated that the efficiency of nitrogen oxides removal hinges on the adequate oxidation of NO. Under optimized conditions, the FA-β zeolite demonstrated a removal efficiency of 83%. ESR analysis revealed that the removal mechanism involves the oxidative elimination of NO, catalyzed by FA-β zeolite through the decomposition of H2O2 to OH radicals. This novel synthesis method, which utilizes fly ash as the raw material to prepare β zeolite, offers advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness and environmental protection. It holds significant potential for applications in environmental conservation.

Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) leads to persistent tissue damage, antibiotic-resistant infections, and neurogenic inflammation, greatly impairing patients' quality of life. Current therapies fail to simultaneously eliminate resistant bacterial biofilms, neutralize alkaline conditions, and break the cycle of ammonia (NH 3 ) regeneration. Here, a piezoelectric gas therapy strategy based on platinum-decorated bismuth molybdate load in gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel (Pt@BMO-Gel) is introduced. Under ultrasound excitation, Pt@BMO generates high piezoelectric potential to improve charge separation, selectively adsorbs NH 3 on BMO (001) crystal facets, efficiently degrades NH 3 to normalize pH, and enables sustained release of H 2 and NO for dual antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Mechanistic insights from theoretical calculations show that the Pt (111) and BMO (001) surfaces lower energy barriers for H 2 formation and N─H bond cleavage, conducive to the generation of NO and H 2 . Transcriptomic profiling reveals downregulation of key nitrogen metabolism genes (arcC/hutH) in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and disruption of the (p)ppGpp-mediated stringent response, effectively eradicating bacterial persistence via metabolic reprogramming. This study establishes Pt@BMO as an efficient piezoelectric catalyst for wound therapy, presenting a novel approach in medicine that transforms harmful NH 3 into therapeutic H 2 and NO, offering a promising treatment paradigm for infected wounds, such as incontinence-associated dermatitis.

The catalytic conversion of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) to non-toxic products has emerged as a critical strategy for air pollution control under stringent emission regulations. Photocatalytic NO x removal performance highly depends on the transmission of photogenerated electrons and the amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated. Herein, the Bi/BiOCl/SrTiO 3 heterostructure photocatalyst was prepared by a simple in situ synthesis method to address the limitations of conventional NOx removal systems. Due to the synergistic effect of bismuth (Bi) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and the built-in electric field in BiOCl/SrTiO 3 S-scheme heterojunction, Bi/BiOCl/SrTiO 3 showed strong light absorption ability and high charge separation efficiency, with the highest NO removal efficiency reaching 70 %. The enhanced electronic interaction between Bi and BiOCl/SrTiO 3 induced Bi-O covalent bonds with the BiOCl layer to facilitate fast charge separation, promoting the rapid transfer of interfacial photogenerated carriers, this process induces the activation of O 2 and H 2 O to form reactive oxygen species (ROS) to promote the oxidative removal of NO. This study provides new insights into the development of effective photocatalysts with fast charge separation by synergistic metal active sites and built-in electric field of heterojunction for air pollutant purification.

Bacterial infection reduces quality of wound healing and even cause severe complications, but most current dressings adopt single antibacterial mode showed limited effectiveness. Herein, a plant extract quercetin (Que) composite chitosan/hyaluronic acid hydrogel (named CBCQ) with near-infrared (NIR) triggered controllable NO releasing was developed for efficient photothermal therapy/nitric oxide (PTT/NO) synergistic antibacterial and wound healing. Specifically, CBCQ hydrogel with chemical/physical crosslinked network was fabricated via host-guest interaction, metal coordination and Schiff base reaction. It exhibited porous structure, excellent injectability, self-healing, adhesion, antioxidant, and biocompatible properties suitable for wound dressings. Notably, superior PTT effect generated from Que-Fe 3+ has been demonstrated, which served as a photothermal switch for the controllable NO release, thereby enable to utilize the physiological functions of NO at different concentrations, improving antibacterial efficiency by integrating PTT and NO benefits, and further allowing sustained antibacterial through Que when NIR was off. Importantly, CBCQ hydrogel achieved better healing of skin incision than commercial 3M medical glue and Film, and significantly improved the healing rate and quality of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infected wound by efficient and sustained antibacterial activity, inhibiting inflammation, and promoting collagen deposition and angiogenesis, highlighting its promising application in skin incisions and infected full-thickness skin wounds.

Herein, we fabricated hydroxyl groups decorated Bi 4 O 5 I 2 nanosheets, and the contents of hydroxyl groups on the surface could be controlled by changing the reducibility of organic solvents. The stronger reducibility of organic solvents, the more hydroxyl groups on the surface. The hydroxyl groups on the surface of Bi 4 O 5 I 2 nanosheets have significant effects on photocatalytic activity. For degradation of organic pollutants, the surface hydroxyls form hydrogen bonds with organic pollutants, which is conducive to the adsorption of the substrates. For NO removal, the NO adsorbed on the hydroxyl groups is more oxidized into a toxic by-product NO 2 instead of NO 3 - , so less hydroxyl groups are important for photocatalysts towards NO removal. These new discoveries provide new insights to improve photocatalytic activities by modulating surface functional groups of photocatalysts.

Solid waste fly ash can encroach on land, contaminate the environment, and jeopardize human health. An alkali fusion method combined with a hydrothermal method was adopted to prepare fly ash-derived ZSM-5 molecular sieves, and a series of Fe/ZSM-5 catalysts were also prepared to test their catalytic performance in NO oxidation with H2O2. Moreover, the characteristics of catalysts synthesized by fly ash, as well as the relationship between the structure and the catalytic activity, were analyzed in detail through multiple characterization approaches. The results gave important insights into the active sites of catalytic oxidation. They concluded that 10% Fe/ZSM-5 had the best catalytic activity in which Fe sites and Brønsted acid sites collectively provided the catalytic functionality, and 92% NO removal efficiency was obtained achieved under optimal experimental conditions. This work provided a new way for recycling fly ash and developing low-cost catalysts for NO removal.

The oxidation of SO 2 into SO 3 promote the formation of NH 4 HSO 4 (ABS), which can cover surface active sites catalyst, and then leading to the decrease of NH 3 -SCR De-NO x activity. In this work, phosphorus species were loaded on the V 2 O 5 -MoO 3 /TiO 2 De-NO x catalyst to enhance its SO 2 resistance via inhibiting the SO 2 /SO 3 conversion. XRD and N 2 -adsorption results showed that phosphorus has little impact on the structure and pore property of the catalyst. The results of XPS , H 2 -TPR, and NH 3 -TPD analyses illustrated that suitable amount of phosphorus (1%) increases the content of polymeric vanadate and chemisorbed oxygen (O α ) of the catalyst, which is benefit to the SCR process. Phosphorus species decreases the SO 2 absorbability and SO 2 oxidation activity of V-Mo-P/Ti catalysts, thus it exhibits higher NH 3 -SCR activity than that of the P-free catalyst at presence of SO 2 due to the lower SO 2 /SO 3 conversion and fewer amount of NH 4 HSO 4 deposition.

A novel MnO x –TiO 2 catalyst with hollow silkworm structure was synthesized successfully via an ethanol-thermal strategy by using activated carbon fiber felt as template for the first time. The silkworm-like MnO x –TiO 2 catalyst (MnTi) exhibited higher NO x conversion in the whole experimental temperature region (90–330 °C) under a high space velocity of 36,000 h −1 in comparison with the common MnO x –TiO 2 catalyst without hollow silkworm structure (MnTi-B). The excellent catalytic performance of MnTi can be attributed to its high specific surface area, large content of active surface oxygen species (O S ), and more surface acid sites. In addition, the MnTi catalyst also exhibited excellent resistance to water or SO 2 poisoning.

A series of Mn–V–W/TiO2 (Mn–VWT) catalysts were synthesized by the impregnation method and calcinated at different temperatures (300–600 °C). To explore the effects of the reaction temperature, SO2, and H2O on the simultaneous removal performance of elemental mercury (Hg0) and NO, Mn–VWT were investigated by a fixed-bed reaction system. Various techniques (scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, X-ray diffraction, H2-temperature-programmed reduction, NH3-temperature-programmed desorption, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) were utilized to characterize the samples. The results showed that the catalytic activity of Mn–VWT first increased and then decreased with the increasing calcination temperature. The removal efficiency of Hg0 and NO still had good performance even in low reaction temperature (200 °C), achieving 100 and 82%, respectively. Mn–VWT-400 had the best simultaneous removal performance because of the highest content of the Mn4+, V4+, and chemisorbed oxygen Oα and the best reductive activity at low temperature. Furthermore, SO2 irreversibly inhibited Hg0 and NO removal ability due to the sulfate and sulfite generation on the surface of Mn–VWT-400. Especially, the inhibition effect was more serious if SO2 and H2O coexisted because the rate of sulfate/sulfite was higher than that of the former. In addition, with the increase in reaction temperature, the effect of SO2 and H2O on the removal of Hg0 and NO over Mn–VWT was gradually reduced.

In order to further improve its photocatalytic activity , the BiOI microspheres were activated by a synchronous coupling of Bi metal and graphene under solvothermal conditions. The effects of the synthesis temperature (160–200 °C) on crystallinity, morphology, and photocatalytic activity were studied in particular. As expected, the ternary Bi-BiOI/graphene photocatalyst synthesized at 180 °C exhibited higher photocatalytic activity for NO oxidation removal under visible light irradiation than individual BiOI, and binary Bi-BiOI and BiOI/graphene composites. The photocatalytic efficiency for the NO removal of the ternary Bi-BiOI/graphene photocatalyst synthesized at 180 °C reached 51.8% within 30 min of visible light irradiation. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the ternary Bi-BiOI/graphene photocatalyst is attributed to (I) the efficient transfer of photo-generated electrons from BiOI and Bi to graphene, leading to the effective separation of the photo-generated electron-hole pairs and (II) the surface plasmon resonance effect of Bi nanoparticles in the composite photocatalyst. Furthermore, the results of the scavenger experiments and DMPO-ESR spin-trapping measurements reveal that O 2 − radical species play the most critical role and holes serve as a secondary active species in the oxidative removal process of NO by 180BOI/GR composite under visible light irradiation.

Cell wall is the major component of root apoplast which is the main reservoir for iron in roots, while nitric oxide (NO) is involved in regulating the synthesis of cell wall. However, whether such regulation could influence the reutilization of iron stored in root apoplast remains unclear. In this study, we observed that iron deficiency elevated NO level in tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ) roots. However, application of S-nitrosoglutathione, a NO donor, significantly enhanced iron retention in root apoplast of iron-deficient plants, accompanied with a decrease of iron level in xylem sap. Consequently, S-nitrosoglutathione treatment increased iron concentration in roots, but decreased it in shoots. The opposite was true for the NO scavenging treatment with 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (cPTIO). Interestingly, S-nitrosoglutathione treatment increased pectin methylesterase activity and decreased degree of pectin methylation in root cell wall of both iron-deficient and iron-sufficient plants, which led to an increased iron retention in pectin fraction, thus increasing the binding capacity of iron to the extracted cell wall. Altogether, these results suggested that iron-deficiency-induced elevation of NO increases iron immobilization in root apoplast by decreasing pectin methylation in cell wall.
