The treatment process of metal plating wastewater in industry usually exists excessive consumption of chemicals, coproduction of sludge and complex reuse of metal. At present, some available technologies have been designed for effective removal of specific metal ions rather than entire metals ions in effluents. Herein, a novel strategy of treating waste with waste is proposed that using metal plating wastewater containing Zn(Ⅱ) to prepare 3D Luffa cylindrical (LC) / heterogeneous ZIFs (h-ZIF-8) composite (LC/h-ZIF-8) for photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants (Nitrofurazone (NFZ), Methylene blue (MB), Rhodamine B (RhB) and Congo red (CR)) and mixed-dye wastewater. The strategy realized the efficient treatment of electroplating wastewater, expediently reuse of metal ions and removal of organic contaminants . Moreover, investigations of cycling performance indicated the photocatalytic stability and easy separation from water. Furthermore, the spectroscopy and electrochemical are employed to elaborate possible degradation mechanisms, expounding the LC/h-ZIF-8 possess lower recombination rates of carriers and transfer resistance of electron compared with ZIF-8. Therefore, the work proposes a new strategy for the efficient treatment of metal wastewater and achieves the combination of resource recovery and wastewater treatment with the advantages of simple operation and mild conditions.

Co-Ce as the dominant active sites immobilized MCM-48 (Co-Ce/MCM-48) was fabricated via H-bonding by the hydrothermal and incipient wetness co-impregnation method. The incorporation of Co-Ce/MCM-48 (67.2%) provided higher mineralization of sulfamethazine (SMT) than Co/MCM-48 (62.2%) and Ce/MCM-48 (39.4%) in O 3 /peroxymonosulfate (O 3 /PMS) system at 90 min reaction time. The catalytic efficiency could be further improved owing to enhanced PMS decomposition rate when initial pH increased to 9.4. The electron transfer capacity in Co-Ce/MCM-48/O 3 /PMS was improved according to in-situ electrochemical tests. In situ-Raman characterization implied that PMS was bonded to the Co⋯HO-Si-O-Si-OH⋯Ce to generate the Ce-OH⋯HSO 5 − and Co-OH⋯HSO 5 − complexes, which was decomposed by O 3 and one-electron transfer reaction into reactive oxygen species (ROSs). LC-MS analysis indicated that the breakage of N-S bond, SO 2 extrusion and -CH 3 oxidation on rings were the major degradation pathway during SMT degradation. To uncover the relationship of interface electron transfer with Co-Ce/MCM-48 and PMS activation by O 3 , electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra was recorded to investigate the variation of ROSs in different processes. Simultaneous PMS reduction and oxidation over the solid-liquid-gas interface occurred for the generation of free and non-free radicals in Co-Ce/MCM-48/O 3 /PMS process.

Fuel cells hold great promise for clean and sustainable energy, whereas their widespread commercialization strongly depends on the development of highly efficient and stable electrocatalysts. Herein, three-dimensional fluffy PtPd nanocorals (NCs) loaded on two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) supports were successfully achieved by a simple one-step strategy based on ultraviolet (UV) laser-excited photochemical reaction. As for alcohol oxidation reaction, the h-BN/PtPd NCs with unique nanoporous surface provide more enhanced electrocatalytic performances than many previous nanocatalysts, owing to abundant active sites and plentiful charge-transfer channels formed on high electrode–electrolyte contact area. Especially, the mass activity of h-BN/PtPd NCs is about 962.8 mA mgPtPd–1 in methanol oxidation reaction in alkaline solution, which can be maintained at ∼274.9 mA mgPtPd–1 (28.6% of the initial one) even after a 5 × 104 s durability test. The present work not only offers an advanced electrocatalyst for long-term fuel cells but also provides a versatile route for construction of complex metallic nanocomposites on 2D supports, holding great potential for diverse energy-related applications.

Sustainable upgrading of biomass to high-value chemicals is greatly dependent on catalytic C-C/C-O bond cleavage of high selectivity. Here, an oxidation-enhanced photoelectrochemical protocol was developed to be capable of breaking different types of C-C bonds for efficiently producing aromatic carboxylic acids (85.0–99.8% yields) from lignin. Ni local electronic state of the prepared F-Fe 2 O 3 -Co:NiO x H y with excellent durability could be modulated, and high-valence Ni(Ⅳ) reactive species played a key role in the oxidative C-C bond scission of various lignin models. In-situ characterization and control experiments indicated that photocatalytic radical and electrocatalytic interface facilitated C-H/O-H delocalization, contributing significantly to the enhanced oxidation process. In addition, quantum calculations elaborated that photo-excited holes and Ni(Ⅳ) are key reactive species for enhancive electrocatalytic cleavage of different C-C bonds in lignin to exclusively furnish aromatic carboxylic acids. This research provides a renewable funnel strategy for using solar energy to produce high-value mono-functional products from biomass.

Tigecycline (TGC), a third-generation, broad-spectrum, potent antimicrobial drug based on a tetracycline structure, may pose potential hazards to ecosystems and human health due to its difficulty in natural degradation in the environment. However, the environmental degradation behavior of TGC has not been fully investigated, so it is still a major challenge to rationally design efficient, stable, environmentally friendly and cost-effective electrocatalysts for TGC degradation. In this study, Pd-ZnS NPs/CF composite electrode anchored on copper foam (CF) was synthesized by simple ultrasonic method and two-step electrodeposition. The degradation efficiency of TGC at the Pd-ZnS NPs/CF composite electrode was as high as 88.75 % within 30 min under neutral conditions, and the energy consumption was only 0.11 kWh/m³ . In addition, the overall Pd 2+ contribution was as low as 0.00005 M after the introduction of inexpensive ZnS. The Pd-ZnS NPs/CF composite electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity and degradation of antibiotics under different aqueous environmental conditions. Suitable for degradation of a wide range of antibiotics with excellent cyclic stability. The TGC degradation rate was stabilized above 85.40 % after 240 min of continuous operation in a continuous flow reactor, and the composite electrode prepared once can be used for a long time. It highlights the broad application prospects of the composite electrode in the field of water treatment technology and the significant advantages of high efficiency, low energy consumption and stable long-term operation. In this study, the mechanism of action of ·OH and H* with TGC is also deeply investigated, and the dynamics of TGC degradation intermediates are probed using two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCOS) and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. Finally, the ecotoxicity of Pd-ZnS NPs/CF composite electrodes is investigated, which provides a simple and feasible idea for the preparation of efficiently degraded antibiotic cathodes.

Selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides with methane (CH4-SCR) is an effective way to simultaneously eliminate NOx and CH4 emissions. Development of efficient CH4-SCR reaction system with high NOx reduction activity and selectivity is highly desirable for its commercial application. Herein, a two-part relay reaction system, including sequentially Co@S-1 and In-Ce/H-Beta catalysts, is designed for boosting CH4-SCR. In this system, the Co@S-1 with high redox ability boosts NO oxidation to NO2 and generates key intermediate CH3NO2 that can partially be in situ oxidized and the excessive can migrate to In-Ce/H-Beta. Meanwhile, the inner synergistic effect between InO+ and CeO2 species on In-Ce/H-Beta not only exhibits fair CH4-SCR performance, also facilitates the formation of NO- 3 species to react with the migrated CH3NO2 from Co@S-1. Benefiting from the combination between outer active sites synergy and inner active sites synergy, the simultaneous efficient conversion of NOx (T50 = 380 ℃) and CH4 (T50 = 425 ℃) with well durability is achieved.

Background Cytoplasmic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is overexpressed in both nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), while clinical outcome and prognosis vary greatly among patients treated with gefitinib, and all patients eventually develop resistance to this agent. Therefore, we propose a new concept for synthesizing multitarget compounds and reveal new therapeutic strategies for NPC and TNBC expressing EGFR. Methods Compound H was synthesized in our previous study. Molecular docking, and cell thermal shift assays (CETSAs) and drug affinity responsive target stability(DARTS) were used to confirm the binding of compound H to EGFR and GLUT1. Methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide(MTT), annexin V-PE assays, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) assays, and animal models were used to evaluate the inhibitory effect of compound H on TNBC cell lines. Energy metabolism tests, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence staining were performed to evaluate the synergistic effects on EGFR- and glucose transporter type 1(GLUT1)-mediated energy metabolism. Results Compound H can simultaneously act on the EGFR tyrosine kinase ATP-binding site and inhibit GLUT1-mediated energy metabolism, resulting in reductions in ATP, MMP, intra-cellular lactic acid, and EGFR nuclear transfer. The anti-tumor activity of compound H is significantly superior to the combination of GLUT1 inhibitor BAY876 and EGFR inhibitor gefitinib. Compound H has remarkable anti-proliferative effects on TNBC MDA-MB231 cells, and importantly, no obvious toxicity effects of compound H were found in vivo . Conclusions Synergistic effects of inhibition of EGFR- and GLUT1-mediated energy metabolism by compound H may present a new strategy for the treatment of TNBC and NPC.

The cholinergic hypothesis constitutes a pivotal theoretical framework for elucidating the pathological mechanisms underpinning Alzheimer's disease (AD). Quantitative assessment of cholinesterases (ChEs) and NAD(P)H levels in neuronal cells, particularly within the septo-hippocampal pathway, is imperative for the comprehensive study of the cholinergic system. In this study, we designed and synthesized a dual-channel, dual-enzyme-responsive fluorescent indicator that was chemically optimized for detecting levels of ChEs and NAD(P)H in neuronal cells. Biological experiments demonstrated that this indicator can sensitively and reliably visualize the dynamics of intracellular ChEs and NAD(P)H following stimulation. The corresponding ChEs activities and NAD(P)H concentrations demonstrated a linear correlation with fluorescence intensity, reaching equilibrium within a few minutes. This innovative and precise technique for visualizing ChEs and NAD(P)H dynamics with high spatial resolution during the progression of AD is expected to serve as a robust tool for investigating alterations in the cholinergic nervous system, including changes in acetylcholine neurotransmission and neuronal energy metabolism.

In the transformation of methanol to gasoline (MTG), the selectivity to gasoline and the aromatic content in the produced gasoline are important factors. The catalytic activities of steam-treated and non-steam-treated nano-scale H-ZSM-5 (NHZ5) catalysts impregnated with Ag(I), Zn(II) or P(V) have been investigated in a continuous flow fixed bed reactor. The NH 3 -TPD results showed that after impregnation, the Ag/NHZ5, Zn/NHZ5 and P/NHZ5 catalysts contained comparatively more strong, medium-strong and weak acid sites, respectively. Treatment with steam decreased the number of acid sites in all the catalysts, but the pore volumes in the catalysts were larger which improved carbon deposition resistance resulting in prolonged lifetimes. After 6 h of MTG reaction, the selectivity to gasoline for the steam-treated catalysts,
\(Ag_{H_2 O} /NHZ5\) , \(Zn_{H_2 O} /NHZ5\) and \(P_{H_2 O} /NHZ5\) were 70.5, 68.4 and 68.7 wt-%, respectively, whereas their respective aromatic contents in the produced gasoline were 61.9, 55.4 and 39.0 wt-%. Thus \(P_{H_2 O} /NHZ5\) is the most promising catalyst for MTG applications which can meet the China IV gasoline standard that the amount of aromatics in gasoline should be less than 48 wt-%.

The study about simultaneously enhancing the resistive switching level and ambient-air-stability of perovskite-based memorizers will promote its commercialization. Here, a new 3D perovskite (TAZ-H)PbBr 3 (TAZ-H + = protonated thiazole) has been fabricated as FTO/(TAZ-H)PbBr 3 /Ag device, which only exhibits binary memory performance with the high tolerant temperature of 170 °C. After encapsulating by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), the (TAZ-H)PbBr 3 @PVP composite-based device can demonstrate ternary resistive switching behavior with considerable ON2/ON1/OFF ratio (10 5.9 : 10 3.9 :1) and high ternary yield (68 %). Specially, this device presents good ambient-air stability at RH 80 % and thermal tolerance of 100 °C. The binary resistive switching mechanism can be ascribed to the halogen ion migration induced by bromine defects in the (PbBr 3 ) n n – framework. But the ternary resistive switching phenomenon in the (TAZ-H)PbBr 3 @PVP-based device could be depicted as the carrier transport from filled traps of PVP to (PbBr 3 ) n n – framework (ON1 state) and then carriers flowing in the re-arranged (TAZ-H) n n + chain in 3D channels (ON2 state). The PVP treatment can not only modify the grain boundary defects, but also facilitate the transport of injected carriers to the perovskite films via Pb-O coordinated bonds and inhibition of order-disorder transformation. This facial strategy for implementing ternary perovskite-based memorizers with good ambient-air-stability is quite meaningful for high-density memory in harsh environments.

The highly selective and direct oxidation of cyclohexane to adipic acid (AA) using molecular oxygen under solvent-free conditions represents a “dream reaction” in industrial catalysis, yet is severely hampered by the inherent chemical inertness of C-H bond and the challenging activation of O 2 . Addressing this grand challenge, we report a non-metal heterointerface engineering strategy to construct an advanced B/F-doped h-BN/g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction catalyst (known as BN/CN-BF 4 ) via a facile synergistic ultrasonication and thermal treatment utilizing the ionic liquid. The resulting BN/CN-BF 4 exhibits a powerfully ability to regulate interfacial electronic microenvironment, as evidenced by spectroscopic, electrochemical analysis, and DFT calculations, which reveal a type-II staggered band alignment and an internal electric field (IEF) formation across the heterojunction. This precisely engineered heterointerface achieved a remarkable breakthrough in catalytic performance, yielding a high cyclohexane conversion of 18.8% with an unprecedented selectivity for AA reaching 51.3% (a significant advancement over the typical 3%-5% conversion) in solvent-free system. Mechanistic investigations established a multi-step synergistic catalytic mechanism that B-N sites and H-bonding facilitate the initial C-H bond adsorption and activation; simultaneously, the IEF-driven directional electron transfer and C-F bond formation significantly accelerate the activation of O 2 to generate highly reactive oxygen species, steering the reaction pathway directly towards the terminal product, adipic acid. This work provides a novel strategy for enhancing industrial selective oxidation by manipulating the interfacial electronic microenvironment with IEF, offering a promising route for advanced solvent-free and metal-free selective oxidation catalysts.

Catalytic oxidative depolymerization of lignin is an important strategy for producing valuable oxygen-functionalized monoaromatic compounds. However, this process is less efficient over heterogeneous catalysts due to the slow rate-determining step of selective oxidation of secondary alcohol (C α -OH to C α =O) in β-O-4 lignin linkages. Herein, a facile and efficient Ru(OH) x /C catalyst was developed for the oxidative depolymerization of lignin model compounds and real lignin in aqueous phase using molecular oxygen as oxidant. Extensive characterizations revealed that molecular oxygen abstracts electrons from the conductive carbon matrix to generate superoxide radicals (•O 2 – ), which are subsequently converted to hydroperoxide radicals (HOO•) in the presence of water. The C α -OH in the β-O-4 linkages first reacts with Ru-OH to form a Ru-O-C(H)- metal alkoxide intermediate, which then undergoes β-H elimination with the help of HOO• to generate H 2 O 2 and surface Ru-O-C•- species. Hydrolysis of Ru-O-C•- leads to the generation of C α =O products and the regeneration of Ru-OH sites. Different from the traditional Ru(OH) x -catalyzed alcohol dehydration mechanism in which Ru abstracts β-H to form Ru-H, in this case, the β-H in the Ru-alkoxide intermediate is eliminated by the hydroperoxide radicals rather than Ru, avoiding the formation of inert Ru-H species, thereby accelerating the dehydrogenation of C α -OH to C α =O. Electrochemical measurements further confirmed the charge transfer from Ru(OH) x to carbon during alcohol oxidation, demonstrating that electron donation by alcohol occurs on Ru(OH) x , while electron abstraction by O 2 occurs on the carbon. The free-radical-involved β-H elimination reaction pathway endows Ru(OH) x /C with superior catalytic oxidation activity in the aqueous phase compared with traditional metal oxides supported Ru(OH) x (e.g. SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2 ), and provides a fundamental basis for the rational design of aqueous phase oxidation catalysts.
