The development of a highly active and stable non-noble-metal hydrogen-producing catalyst for renewable energy reserves and conversion remains a serious challenge. In this work, we described a novel binary solution (DETA/H2O) reaction for preparing a composite catalyst composed of CdS nanoparticles grown on CoSe2 nanobelts. The composite catalyst (CoSe2/CdSDETA) exhibits excellent catalytic activity for a hydrogen evolution reaction in an EY sensitized 15% (v/v) TEOA aqueous solution under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm). Moreover, the catalytic activity of the P-doped sample (CoSe2/CdSDETA|P) was further improved. The excellent performance is ascribed to the synergy among DETA and atomic-level P-doping. Some essential characterization methods such as XRD, SEM, TEM, UV-vis diffuse spectroscopy, XPS, photoelectrochemistry, PL, etc. were carried out to support the related results and a possible reaction mechanism was put forward.

The N/P co-doped hierarchical porous carbon materials are synthesized by SiO 2 -template approach following potassium phosphate activation. Polyvinylidene fluoride is used as the carbon source, melamine as the nitrogen source and potassium phosphate as the phosphorus source and activator. The obtained porous carbon materials exhibit a hierarchical pore structure (∼0.6 and ∼4 nm), a large specific surface area (1431 m 2 g −1 ) and a high nitrogen and phosphorus content. These predominant characteristics enable the CNP-5-800 sample to exhibit a superior specific capacitance of 337 F g -1 at 0.5 A g −1 and outstanding cycling stability of 97.8% retention after 10000 cycles in a three-electrode system. Even in the two-electrode system (an all-solid-state symmetric capacitor), this kind of materials still can deliver an energy density of 23.1 W h kg −1 to 12.4 W h kg −1 at power densities of 720.4 W kg −1 to 13950 W kg −1 , respectively, and a cycling property of 98.7% maintenance after 5000 cycles. Therefore, the practicable synthetic method and excellent electrochemical performance make CNP- x - y materials a potential candidate in supercapacitor application.

Graphical Right off the batt : A Li@Super P composite anode with a high specific surface area is fabricated through a low-cost brushing method, which effectively decreases the interface impedance and overpotential of Li depositing/stripping. The anode can also mitigate the detrimental shuttling effect of I 3 − generated from LiI during the charging process. The combination of the protected Li anode and LiI mediator delivers superior Li−O 2 battery performance. Rechargeable Li−O 2 batteries represent a highly attractive battery technology, owing to a high theoretical energy density of 3500 Wh kg −1 , but they suffer from large charging polarization and lithium anode degradation on cycling. Herein, we report a Li−O 2 battery system with reduced polarization and a long lifespan, which is realized by using a novel Li@Super P composite anode integrated with lithium iodide in ether-based electrolyte. Coating a Super P carbon layer, with an optimal thickness of approximately 30 μm, onto the lithium anode results in a lowered interface impedance and a decreased Li depositing/stripping overpotential (<15 mV) over 300 cycles at 0.3 mA cm −2 . The Li−O 2 batteries assembled with the Li@Super P anode and LiI additive could mitigate the detrimental shuttling effect of I 3 − and deliver a high reversible capacity of 1000 mAh g −1 with a median charge voltage lower than 3.3 V after 50 cycles. This study provides a simple yet effective way to protect the lithium anode and design high-performance Li−O 2 batteries.

In order to further improve the photocatalytic activity, Cu 2 O coupled with SrTiO 3 was for the first time constructed by introducing SrTiO 3 to Cu 2 O and synthesized via a two-step route. The obtained n-SrTiO 3 /p-Cu 2 O heterojunction photocatalysts were systematically characterized by XRD , XPS , SEM, UV–vis spectra, etc., showing that n-SrTiO 3 /p-Cu 2 O composites were formed by coupling SrTiO 3 submicroparticles with Cu 2 O cubic micrometer structure. Photocatalytic results demonstrated that the introduction of SrTiO 3 brought about significant enhancement of photocatalytic activity of Cu 2 O, which led to the fact that SrTiO 3 could serve as cocatalyst for the degradation of pollutant MB by forming p-n heterojunction to accelerate photo-generated charge carriers separation and migration and providing enriched active sites. The obtained n-SrTiO 3 /p-Cu 2 O heterojunction composites showed good stability and recyclability in the process of photo-degradation. Besides, the possible photocatalytic mechanism was proposed.

Used as a kind of feed additive,p-arsanilic acid can pose a potential risk to organisms when abandoned in the environment. The photodegradation ofp-ASA was investigated under UV-C irradiation in the presence of persulfate (PS) in this work. The addition of PS facilitated the decomposition ofp-ASA and notably, the presence of 50 mmol PS brought about a nearly complete mineralization after 3 h, while an insignificant total organic carbon (TOC) removal was observed under UV irradiation (λ = 254 nm) only. Experimental results proved that sulfate radical (SO4•−) was responsible for the promotion effect. The cleavage of As-C bond released inorganic arsenic and caused the occurrence of various organic products, for example, hydroxybenzaldehyde, nitrobenzene, benzenediol sulfate, and biphenylarsinic acid. The application of PS with UV-C light may throw a light on thorough treatment forp-ASA containing wastewater.Keywords:p-arsanilic acid;photodegradation;UV/persulfate system;sulfate radical

The inhibition of fungal contamination of food by natural plant essential oils is receiving widespread attention. In this study, 1 μL/mL p -anisaldehyde showed remarkable antifungal ability against Aspergillus flavus spore germination and mycelium growth. Experiments of peanut seeds infection showed that 4 μL/mL p -anisaldehyde inhibited the development of A. flavus spores on peanuts by 95.5% and the production of aflatoxin B1 production by 69.4%. Transcriptome analysis suggested that differentially expressed genes were primarily associated with spore growth, cell wall, cell membrane, oxidative stress, and energy metabolism. Physiological and biochemical experiments as well as scanning electron microscopy, fluorescence staining, and enzyme activity assay, further confirmed that p -anisaldehyde destroyed the cell wall, permeability, and ergosterol biosynthesis of the cell membrane and led to decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and accumulated reactive oxygen species. This study provided new knowledge on the antifungal activity of p -anisaldehyde and its mechanism of action, as well as theoretical support for p -anisaldehyde as a possible antifungal agent for the control of A. flavus contamination of food crops.

In surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection research, the shape, structure, surface modification, and material selection of nanoparticles can significantly impact the SERS intensity. Petal-like gap-enhanced Raman tags (P-GERTs) possess numerous sharp tips and edges, which generate localized electric field enhancements, further amplifying the electric field enhancement effect on neighboring molecules and enhancing the SERS signal. Additionally, the surface of P-GERTs can be modified with functional molecules, enabling their application in the detection of disease biomarkers. Using COVID-19 as an example, the performance of P-GERTs in disease biomarker detection was validated, demonstrating that the signal intensity of this probe can reach 55 times that of regular gold nanoparticles and 36.7 times that of smooth shell gap-enhanced Raman tags (S-GERTs). Furthermore, in combination with magnetically retrievable magnetic bead substrates, the N-protein antigen was specifically detected in a one-step process. N-protein was detected within 15 min using a portable Raman spectrometer. The limit of detection (LOD) for the standard sample was 4.28 pg/mL, and the LOD for the actual throat swab sample system was 25.4 pg/mL. This workflow can be extended to the detection of other biomarkers, making it widely applicable.

Ag nanoclusters (Ag NCs) templated by hyperbranched polyethyleneimine (PEI) with different terminal groups and molecular weights had been developed as a special optical sensor for detecting p-nitrophenol (p-NP). When adding p-NP into Ag NCs, an obvious color change from pale yellow to deep yellow could be observed by naked eyes, accompanying with an apparent red-shift of absorption peak, and the reason was attributed to the formation of oxygen anion of p-NP based on the transfer of H + from p-NP to amine groups of PEI. The molecular weights of template would greatly affect the sensitivity of p-NP. Ag NCs capped by PEI terminated ethylenediamine (EDA) possessed better sensitivity than other Ag NCs, showing good linear range from 5 to 140 μM with the limit of detection as low as 1.28 μM. Most importantly, this present system displayed high selectivity toward p-NP even in the presence of other nitrophenols and nitrotoluenes . This reliable method had been successfully applied for the detection of p-NP in real water and soil samples.

Graphical Organic single-crystalline p-n junctions are grown from mixed solutions. First, C 60 crystals (n-type) form and, subsequently, C8-BTBT crystals (p-type) nucleate heterogeneously on the C 60 crystals. Both crystals continue to grow simultaneously into single-crystalline p-n junctions that exhibit ambipolar charge transport characteristics. This work provides a platform to study organic single-crystalline p-n junctions.

Compared with heavy metal catalysts, persulfate (PS) activated with iron-based materials for controlling refractory organic pollutants are more effective, environment-friendly, and safe to human health. However, Fe 2+ application is limited to acidic conditions, and Fe 0 is not thermodynamically stable in water. Ferrous sulfide (FeS) ore particles are large-sized, low-purity, crystallized iron-based materials that are inexpensive and readily available. In this work, FeS is proposed as an alternative electron donor to activate persulfate and degrade p -chloroaniline (PCA). The effects of initial solution pH, FeS dose, and persulfate concentration on PCA degradation and total organic carbon (TOC) removal were examined at 20 ± 5 °C in batch experiments. Cl − , SO 4 2 − , and Fe 3+ ions were the main inorganic products used to investigate the oxidative mechanism in the present system. Compared with Fe 2+ , FeS could serve as a continuous-releasing source of dissolved Fe 2+ and surface bound Fe 2+ , with PCA removal increasing by 80% at pH 7.0 for a 1 h reaction. In contrast with Fe 0 , recycling of Fe 3+ to Fe 2+ can prevent excessive Fe 2+ consumption and Fe 3+ accumulation. The PS activation mechanism was affected by the initial solution pH. And the application ranges of pH for PCA fast degradation was from 3.0 to 7.0 in the tested pH values of 3.0–11.0 and nearly complete degradation of PCA (>99%) was observed at 150 min, PCA degradation increased as the FeS dose and persulfate concentration increased. PCA removal, dechlorination, and TOC removal reached over 99% within 60, 210, and 500 min, respectively. Generation of small amounts of amorphous iron oxide precipitants on the residual FeS surface was, observed and FeS recyclability was conducted preliminarily. These findings suggest that FeS can function as an effective persulfate activator for PCA control.

The enthalpies of dilution of protocatechualdehyde and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde in the aqueous sodium chloride solutions were measured by using a mixing-flow microcalorimeter at 298.15 K. Densities of the ternary homogeneous systems at different temperatures (293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 313.15 K) were also measured with a quartz vibrating-tube densimeter. The homogeneous enthalpic interaction coefficients (h2, h3, and h4) were calculated according to the excess enthalpy concept based on the calorimetric data. The apparent molar volumes (Vϕ) and standard partial molar volumes (Vϕ0) of the investigated system were computed from their density data. The variation trends in h2 and Vϕ0 with increasing salt molality were obtained and discussed in terms of the (solute + solute) and (solute + solvent) interactions. The experimental results showed that the molecular structures of protocatechualdehyde and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, especially the number of hydroxyl groups, have evident influence on their thermodynamic properties. The thermodynamic data obtained in this work may be helpful for exploring the structure–function relationship of protocatechualdehyde and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde.

Low-grade heat (<100 °C) is abundant and ubiquitous in the environment, and the recovery of low-grade heat energy will be of great significance for the energy supply and the improvement of the environment. Low-cost and effective technologies for transforming low-grade heat into electricity are urgently needed. Thermocell (TEC) based on REDOX couples has become a promising technology for low-grade heat harvesting due to its advantages of low cost, scalability, and intrinsic high thermopower. To enhance its performance, different types of TECs need to incorporate various additives into the REDOX couples. However, there is currently no identical additive that effectively enhances the performance of both P-type and N-type TECs. In this paper, carboxylated chitosan is used as an identical additive, resulting in an increase in the Seebeck coefficient of P-type and N-type TECs by 115.33 % and 53.25 %, respectively. Furthermore, we introduce a novel sandwich-structured packing technique featuring a configuration of Metal/PET film/Carbon felt (MPC) for TEC. This approach effectively reduces both the cost and weight of the TEC, while the MPC structure further enhances their performance. The TEC can be scaled up to power electrical devices. Our achievement provides an effective strategy for harvesting low-grade heat energy.
