CuO/Fe 3 O 4 /GO, as a Z-scheme heterojunction catalyst, was successfully synthesized and used as a photocatalyst for removing tetracycline from aqueous solution. The CuO/Fe 3 O 4 /GO heterogeneous catalyst combines the narrow bandgap semiconductor CuO, oxygen vacancies of Fe 3 O 4 , and oxygen-containing reaction sites of GO. Without the addition of activators (persulfate or H 2 O 2 ), the photocatalytic performance on decomposing tetracycline is very excellent. Compared with GO, Fe 3 O 4 , and CuO, CuO/Fe 3 O 4 /GO exhibits superior photocatalytic performance. Under visible light radiation , CuO/Fe 3 O 4 /GO generates h + and ⋅O 2 − , which are the mainly responsible active groups for TC degradation . The effects of various pH, catalysts, and reuse on the degradation performance are evaluated, and the optimal conditions for CuO/Fe 3 O 4 /GO removal of tetracycline are obtained at pH 7, catalyst dosage 20 mg⋅L −1 , TC at a concentration of 30 mg/L, nearly 97.3% of tetracycline is decomposed. This study has great potential in the treatment of wastewater containing various antibiotics.

Hydrogels capable of optical switching have recently become one of the most celebrated materials for information encryption and anti-counterfeiting. However, challenges still remain for developing versatile gel-based platforms with on-demand multistage patterning and multi-dimensional encryption capacities as well as long-term stability. Herein, elaborately designed programmable and multifunctional gels with fascinating anti-swelling (swelling ratios < 0.1%), anti-freezing (below −70 °C), and anti-dehydration (over 3 months) abilities, solvent-induced reversible transparence variations, adjustable fluorescence, self-healing (86% in stress and 94% in strain), Fe3+-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium (EDTA·2Na)-induced reversible shape memory, and fluorescence off/on switch capabilities are facilely fabricated based on glycidyl methacrylate functionalized graphene quantum dots and Al3+ cross-linked gelatin and polyacrylic acid. Employing a simple mask photopolymerization or welding technique, various patterns can be readily and hierarchically encrypted on-demand into a single gel label, which can be further fixed into complex multi-dimensional architectures while quenching fluorescence after the treatment with Fe3+ to achieve high-security-level information encryption originating from the synergistic effects of the above multifunctions. The encrypted multi-level information can only be stepwise decrypted by an authorized individual who has mastered all decryption keys. Therefore, the creative design strategy for programing multifunctional gels opens up the possibility for hierarchical and multi-dimensional information encryption and anti-counterfeiting.

Entropy stabilization is an effective method to design and explore MAX phases with outstanding properties via tuning constituent elements and crystal structures, which have received considerable critical attention. Currently, some medium-/high-entropy (ME/HE) MAX phases, whose A layers are composed of Al, S, and magnetic elements, are reported, while few discussions about ME/HE-MAX phases with other A elements (e.g., Sn) are conducted. Herein, fully dense ME/HE-MAX phase bulks ((TiVNb) 2 SnC, (TiVNbZr) 2 SnC, and (TiVNbZrHf) 2 SnC) are designed and synthesized because of the chemical diversity of MAX phases. The results of Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy-affiliated energy-dispersive spectrometer analysis comprehensively verify the crystal structure of ME/HE-MAX phases. Both the electrical conductivity and the charge carrier mobility are significantly lower than the reported correlation ternary MAX phases, due to the electron scattering and structural defects in ME/HE-MAX phase crystal structures. Similarly, the electron contribution of thermal conductivity is gradually declining; on the contrary, the phonon plays an increasingly dominant role as temperature increases. Owing to the richness in composition of MAX phases, herein, a composition design route for discovering new MAX phases and tuning their properties is indicated.

Stone-sawing mud (SSM) is a solid waste generated during stone processing, with a presently estimated global production of 30 million m 3 . SSM is usually disposed of in the stone yard, occupying a large area of land and causing serious dust and water pollution. In this study, a novel shape-stabilized composite phase change material (ss-CPCM) containing SSM loaded with NaNO 3 was prepared using the mixing and sintering method for medium-high temperature thermal energy-storage applications. The ss-CPCM retained 50 wt% NaNO 3 without leakage. X-ray diffraction analysis showed good chemical compatibility between the SSM and NaNO 3 , and microscopy analysis demonstrated that NaNO 3 was uniformly distributed within the SSM structure. The compressive strength of the ss-CPCM reached 23.14 MPa. The melting temperature and latent heat of the ss-CPCM are approximately 306.78 °C and 79.86 J·g −1 , respectively, and no significant variations are observed after thermal cycling. The energy storage density of the material is 444.86 J·g −1 in the range of 50–400 °C, and its thermal conductivity is 0.696 W (m·K) −1 . Furthermore, the thermal conductivity of the composites reached 2.421 W (m·K) −1 with the addition of 10 wt% of graphite. Hence, the NaNO 3 /SSM ss-CPCM is considered a promising material for waste heat recovery, thereby providing a valorisation method for the resource utilisation of SSM.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as interesting nanomaterials owing to their large surface area, high porosity, tunable pore architecture and easy functionalization. However, an inferior electrical conductivity hinders their application in electrochemical sensing. In this paper, gold–palladium alloy/UiO-66-NH2/graphene (AuPd/UiO-66-NH2/GN) composites were synthesized by loading alloys on the surfaces of MOFs and then attaching them to the graphene surface. The addition of metal nanoparticles and graphene enhanced the electron transfer ability of MOFs. Then, composites were used to modify a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to construct a sensitive dopamine (DA) electrochemical sensor. The developed sensor manifested two linear relationships in lower concentration ranges and in higher concentration ranges with a 0.21 × 10−6 mol L−1 low detection limit (3σ/k) under optimal conditions. The results certified that the constructed sensor had high selectivity, excellent reproducibility and good stability, and had been used successfully for DA detection in actual human serum samples.

K0.25V2O5 (KVO) and K0.25V2O5/graphene oxide (KVO/GO) have been successfully synthesized by a chemical coprecipitation method and a subsequent calcination process. The structure and morphology of KVO and KVO/GO were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The as-obtained vanadate and vanadate modified by GO materials were used as anodes with LiMn2O4 as a cathode and saturated LiNO3 as an electrolyte to assemble an aqueous rechargeable lithium-ion battery (ARLB). The cyclic voltammogram curves of both KVO and KVO/GO electrodes exhibited three pairs of redox peaks corresponding to charge/discharge platforms. We found that a small amount of graphene oxide added improved the electrochemical performance more significantly than excess graphene oxide. The as-prepared KVO/GO//LiMn2O4 could not only improve the initial discharge capacity but could also reduce the attenuation at a high current density. Furthermore, the ARLB with a KVO/GO anode exhibited an excellent rate performance and super long cycle life. These good electrochemical properties of this new ARLB system actually provided feasibility for application in large-scale power sources and energy storage devices.

Recently, the membrane separation materials show promising applications in the fields of crude oil removal because of their low energy consumption and less secondary pollution. However, the membrane separation materials suffer problem of low separation efficiency due to the high viscosity of crude oil. Here, a superhydrophobic material with Joule heat and photothermal effect was prepared by decorating the delignified wood with reduced graphene oxide (GSH) and vinyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane (V-PDMS) through thiol-ene click reaction. The prepared PDMS@GSH wood exhibited stable superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 156°. Meanwhile, the GSH layer provided promising electrothermal effect that endowed the PDMS@GSH wood with excellent crude oil/water separation capability under the Joule heat with a surface temperature of 139 °C and separation rate of 1.78 × 10 5 kg m −3 h −1 . Besides, the PDMS@GSH wood displayed a good photothermal effect that assisted with the Joule heat to heat the wood for crude oil removal to save energy. More importantly, the PDMS was crosslinked with GSH on the wood via thiol-ene click reaction, leading to the stable superhydrophobicity and electrical conductivity in strong acid or alkali environment. This material has broad application prospects in crude oil clean-up due to its high separation speed and easy large-scale production.

Clean and sustainable photoelectric technology has been developed rapidly in many fields. One of which is the novel marine corrosion protection technology that directly utilizes the abundant solar energy falling on the ocean to provide photoinduced cathodic protection for metallic structures, and has received increasing attention year by year. Improving the photoelectrochemical conversion and photoelectric cathodic protection performance for metals under sunlight is vital for achieving effective protection. In particular, optimizing the multi-dimensional nanostructured photoanode to accelerate the collection and transfer of photogenerated electrons and to improve the photoelectric and cathodic protection performance is a promising method. Here, an ultrafine branched anatase TiO2 nanolawn (NL) photoanode co-decorated with CdS nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide quantum dots (rGO QDs) was prepared. Compared with single CdS modified TiO2 NL, the three-phase junction CdS/rGO QDs/TiO2 NL shows further enhanced photoelectrochemical conversion performance under simulated sunlight and visible light irradiation, increased by 66.7% and 83.3% compared to that of CdS/TiO2 NL, respectively. The rGO QDs, which acted as a high-efficiency electron transporter, are uniformly deposited on the TiO2 NL, and further promote the transport efficiency of photogenerated electrons. CdS as a visible-light responder is responsible for broadening the spectral response, and the ultrafine branched TiO2 NL substrate greatly expands the photon capture area and increases the electron collection sites. Finally, the synergy of the above three aspects ensures that the ternary CdS/rGO QDs/TiO2 NL photoanode exhibits further enhanced simulated sunlight-driven and visible light-driven photoelectric conversion efficiency and a photoinduced cathodic protection effect on 316L stainless steel and pure copper.

To solve the problem that it is difficult to recycle the ZIF-67 in aqueous solution, a porous self- supporting material (KGM/GO) was prepared by using biomass KGM. And then ZIF-67 crystal was loaded onto KGM/GO solid substrate by in-situ growth method so that a novel KGM/GO/ZIF-67 composite aerogel was obtained. FT-IR and SEM characterization showed that ZIF-67 was successfully loaded on KGM/GO substrate by covalent bonding, and the adsorption site of composite aerogel surface was uniform. The N 2 adsorption/desorption testing results showed that the porosity of composite aerogel changed from 86.48 % to 91.18 % after loading ZIF-67. It provides enough diffusion channel and active adsorption sites. Moreover, the as-prepared composite aerogel showed excellent adsorption ability to both methylene blue and methyl orange, and the maximum adsorption capacities were as high as 185.67 mg/g (pH = 8) and 130.2 mg/g (pH = 2), respectively. Noted that after five cycles, the adsorption capacity to methylene blue and methyl orange were still up to 174.4 mg/g and 118.3 mg/g, which exhibited high adsorption capacity and excellent reusability. Therefore, loading ZIF-67 on KGM/GO substrate can enhance the adsorption and recovery performance of ZIF-67. The method provides a new possibility for the treatment of complex dye-containing wastewater.

K 2 CO 3 -based adsorbent pellets produced by graphite-casting method are promising alkali metal-based solid CO 2 adsorbents. The incorporation of porous metal oxide supports is an effective to enhance CO 2 adsorption capacity of K 2 CO 3 -based adsorbent pellets. In this work, graphite-casted K 2 CO 3 -based adsorbent pellets incorporated with different porous supports (i.e., TiO 2 , ZrO 2 , and SiO 2 ) were prepared for CO 2 capture. Comparatively, the ZrO 2 -supported, K 2 CO 3 pellets loaded with 30 wt% of K 2 CO 3 exhibit the highest CO 2 adsorption capacity, approximately 0.93 mmol/g. For the SiO 2 -supported K 2 CO 3 adsorbent pellets, the high calcination temperature (>700 °C) required to remove the graphite layer covering the pellet surface will cause the formation of new eutectics (i.e., K 2 Si 2 O 5 and K 2 Si 4 O 9 ), which leads to the collapse of the adsorbent pellets. Low calcination temperature of 500 °C can avoid the collapse of the SiO 2 -supported K 2 CO 3 adsorbent pellets and remove most of the graphite on the surface. Moreover, the CO 2 adsorption capacity can be further increased to 1.30 mmol/g by adding 20 wt% of microcrystalline cellulose to the SiO 2 -supported K 2 CO 3 adsorbent pellet. Although the adsorption capacity of structurally improved, SiO 2 -supported K 2 CO 3 pellets is still inferior to that of structurally improved, ZrO 2 -supported K 2 CO 3 pellets, they exhibit great cost advantage. Therefore, SiO 2 -supported K 2 CO 3 pellets with 20 wt% of microcrystalline cellulose have industrial application prospects.

Uranium as a strategic and non-renewable resource has been paid close attention to its efficient recovery and reuse from uranium-containing wastewater. Here, a composite bead was prepared by functionalized graphene oxide and sodium alginate (L-Lys-GO/SA) with ion-stimuli responsiveness for achieving U(VI) adsorption. The L-Lys-GO/SA-60 composite beads can selectively adsorb U(VI) with the maximum adsorption capacity (q max ) of 704.22 mg/g. Interestingly, the composite beads will swell under the stimulation of ions, which is more conducive to rapid solid-liquid separation and U(VI) recovery at low energy consumption. More importantly, the composite beads also exhibit high reusability of U(VI) adsorption with excellent life span of 80.11 % adsorption rate after 9 cycles, meaning that the composite beads and technology may be used in extraction and production for U(VI) from uranium-containing wastewater.

The visible-light-responsive photocatalysts with high efficiency have been attracting tremendous focus in environmental remediation. Herein, three-dimensional (3D) Sb 2 X 3 ( X = S , Se) nanowires/graphene aerogel (Sb 2 X 3 /GA) monoliths were prepared by a facile hydrothermal route. The as-prepared Sb 2 X 3 /GA monoliths show the shape of a cylinder with a hierarchical porous structure. FESEM and porosimetry analyses revealed that the monoliths have high porosity, large total pore area as well as large pore volume . Sb 2 X 3 /GA demonstrated excellent photodegradation performance for the representative anionic/cationic dyes (methyl orange, rhodamine B , and crystal violet) and antibiotic drug (tetracycline hydrochloride) under 120 min of visible light irradiation. The degradation efficiencies of Sb 2 X 3 /GA were found to be 92.6–99.8% for the above-mentioned dye/drug, which were much larger than that of the pristine Sb 2 X 3 nanowires . The enhanced photodegradation activity could be ascribed to the synergistic effect between the Sb 2 X 3 nanowires and graphene aerogel, which was confirmed by the results of the photoluminescence and electrochemical impedance spectra. These findings provide an innovative strategy for designing 3D visible-light-responsive photocatalysts for water purification .
