The synthesis of supported transition metal oxides with satisfactory low-temperature catalytic performance and application potential is still a challenge for the complete degradation of VOCs. Ni-Cu-loaded TiO 2 catalysts were prepared by an impregnation method. The lattice defect and oxygen vacancy concentrations of the prepared materials could be tuned by controlling the Ni/Cu molar ratio and the mass proportion of the TiO 2 support. 5Ni-Cu/TiO 2 exhibited the best catalytic activity and showed superior catalytic stability during complete toluene oxidation . The obtained catalysts were fully characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TEM, N 2 adsorption analysis, XPS, H 2 -TPR, O 2 -TPD, TPD analysis, and XPS. The 5Ni-Cu/TiO 2 catalyst had improved pore sizes and specific surface area, had more oxygen vacancies on its surface, had increased concentrations of adsorbed and lattice oxygen species, and had good redox properties; these characteristics were favorable for low-temperature catalytic performance and catalytic stability. Cyclic transformations of metal valence states between Cu + and Cu and between Ni and Ni 2+ were observed in the catalytic system. A potential catalytic reaction process based on the M-vK mechanism was proposed. This work serves as a reference for the application of supported transition metal catalysts for the degradation of VOCs.

The combination of photocatalysis and enzyme catalysis makes many previously difficult or slow chemical reactions easy to realize. A novel [email protected] −C 3 N 4 biohybrid catalyst was successfully synthesized using a simple in situ synthesis method to remove 4- tert -butylphenol (4- t -BP). A series of characterization methods were used to investigate the structure, morphology, chemistry, and optical properties of biohybrid catalysts. [email protected] −C 3 N 4 has improved photogenerated electron-hole pair separation efficiency and charge carrier mobility , as well as photocatalytic activity, with a removal rate of 4- t -BP nearly 100% within 180 min. The catalyst recycling test revealed that the composite could maintain its high removal efficiency after 10 recyclings. Meanwhile, the photocatalytic mechanism investigation reveals that ∙O 2 − play critical roles in the removal of 4- t- BP by g−C 3 N 4 . A detailed examination of the mechanism and pathway of 4- t -BP removal by photoenzyme oxidation was also carried out. This biohybrid catalyst opened up a new avenue for the advancement of environmental protection technology .

Graphitic phase carbon nitride (g-C3N4) demonstrates tremendous potential for photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants, but its performance is severely limited by the high recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. This study introduces an innovative approach oxalic acid-assisted thermal polycondensation to construct a series of oxygen-doped porous g-C3N4 (OCN) nanostructured materials, which simultaneously utilizes the heat-induced foaming mechanism of oxalic acid to achieve element doping modification. The results indicate that modified OCN-1.5 exhibited the optimal photocatalytic activity. Under visible light conditions, the degradation efficiency of OCN-1.5 catalyst toward bisphenol A (BPA, 30 mg L–1) reached 82.55% (240 min light irradiation). This represents a significant improvement of 60% compared to the traditional g-C3N4 catalyst. The mechanism is as follows: on the one hand, the doping of oxygen atoms alter the charge distribution and symmetry of g-C3N4, thereby enhancing the separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers. Furthermore, under visible light irradiation, it facilitates the formation of conjugated delocalized systems associated with e– and h+ on the surface, leading to an accelerated mineralization degradation of OCN and BPA at the interface. Additionally, the •O2– radicals generated from the interfacial reactions can also directly oxidize BPA simultaneously. On the other hand, the construction of a porous nanostructure provides a larger specific surface area and channels for the diffusion of charge carriers, thereby enhancing light capture and transfer. Moreover, this structure offers more active sites for the adsorption and degradation of pollutants. Therefore, the synthetic strategy proposed in this study overcomes the long-standing aggregation issue in the synthesis of g-C3N4, providing a perspective for the scalable preparation of high-performance g-C3N4 photocatalysts and the removal of organic pollutants.

Tripolyphosphate (TPP) has many advantages as a ligand for the optimization of the Fe2+/O2 system in environmental remediation applications. However, the relationship between remediation performance and the Fe2+/TPP ratio in the system has not been previously described. In this study, we report that the degradation mechanism of p-nitrophenol (PNP) in Fe2+/O2 systems is regulated by the Fe2+/TPP ratio under neutral conditions. The results showed that although PNP was effectively degraded at different Fe2+/TPP ratios, the results of specific reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging experiments and the determination of PNP degradation products showed that the mechanism of PNP degradation varies with the Fe2+/TPP ratio. When CFe2+ ≥ CTPP, the initially formed O2•– is converted to •OH and the •OH degrades PNP by oxidation. However, when CFe2+ < CTPP, the O2•– persists long enough to degrade PNP by reduction. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the main reactive species of Fe2+ in the system include [Fe(TPP)(H2O)3]− and [Fe(TPP)2]4–, whose content in the solution is the key to achieve system regulation. Consequently, by controlling the Fe2+/TPP ratio in the solution, the degradation pathways of PNP can be selected. Our study proposed a new strategy to regulate the oxidation/reduction removal of pollutants by simply varying the Fe2+/TPP ratio of the Fe2+/O2 system.

In this paper, a novel Fenton-like system was constructed by a new catalyst (CNTs-Fe-Cu) combined with Al 0 -CNTs to in situ generate H 2 O 2 from activating O 2 for the degradation of sulfamerazine (SMR). The CNTs-Fe-Cu composite was prepared and characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS and BET methods. The results showed that H 2 O 2 could be generated in-situ by Al 0 -CNTs composite under oxygen aeration, which was then converted to OH and O 2 − radical by CNTs-Fe-Cu composite. The high removal efficiency of SMR could be obtained in Al 0 -CNTs/CNTs-Fe-Cu/O 2 system at a relatively broad range of pH. Furthermore, the removal efficiency of SMR and total organic carbon (TOC) was 85% and 60%, respectively under the following condition: initial pH = 5.8, T = 25 °C, O 2 flow rate = 400 mL/min, CNTs-Fe-Cu = 1 g/L, Al 0 -CNTs = 1 g/L, SMR = 50 mg/L, reaction time = 60 min. In addition, the intermediate products of SMR degradation were identified and the possible degradation pathways of SMR and the degradation mechanism of Al 0 -CNTs/CNTs-Fe-Cu/O 2 process were tentatively proposed.

The Li–O 2 battery is one of the most promising next-generation energy storage systems due to its super-high theoretical energy density . However, its further development is impeded by the current cathode system, which exhibits low energy efficiency and poor cycling stability. Herein, we report a composite of vanadium nitride coated with nitrogen-doped carbon nanoribbons grown in situ on carbon paper (denoted as VN@C) as a novel binder-free cathode for Li–O 2 batteries. We find that the nitrogen-doped carbon coating can significantly improve the stability of VN and enhance the composite's ORR/OER activities. The Li–O 2 batteries with our optimal VN@C-850 cathodes achieve an initial discharge capacity of 8269 mA h g −1 , a discharge-charge voltage gap of 0.88 V, and considerable cycling stability for 183 cycles with a cut-off capacity of 1000 mA h g −1 , compared with 2027 mA h g −1 , 1.21 V, and 12 cycles with uncoated VN cathodes.

Solar-driven photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production presents a sustainable alternative to the industrial anthraquinone process. An in situ anthraquinone (AQ) functionalized metal–organic framework (UiO-66-F 4 ) with fluorinated linkers enables efficient concurrent synthesis of H 2 O 2 and value-added benzaldehyde (BzH) in a two-phase system. The AQ-modified F-MOF achieves exceptional H 2 O 2 production rates of 118.1mmol g -1 h −1 under visible light and 328.2mmol g -1 h −1 under simulated sunlight, along with high BzH selectivity (∼95%). Fluorinated linkers and AQ act synergistically to enhance the built-in electric field, promote charge separation, and facilitate oxygen adsorption and activation. RDE and RRDE studies verify a highly selective two-electron oxygen reduction pathway (94% H 2 O 2 selectivity) and reveal a non-traditional mechanism involving energy transfer to form electrophilic 1 O 2 , which is subsequently reduced to •O 2 – by electron and protonated to H 2 O 2 . Both experimental and theoretical results demonstrate that the 1 O 2 mediated pathway proceeds with a lower free energy barrier compared to the molecular oxygen route. Meanwhile, the incorporation of AQ reduces the oxygen adsorption energy and provides additional adsorption sites, further enhancing photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production. EPR spectroscopy corroborates the interconversion between 1 O 2 and •O 2 – during the reaction. This work offers mechanistic insight into the coexistence and interconversion of reactive oxygen species, while demonstrating spontaneous separation and collection of both H 2 O 2 and high-value oxidation products in a two-phase system.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common intestinal tumors, of which occurrence and development are closely related to immune escape activity in vivo . Then, how to comprehensively block immune escape remains a big challenge for immunotherapy. Thus, a biomimetic nanoprobe [email protected] /hybrid membrane/PA ( [email protected] ) is designed by coating Ce6 loaded ZIF-8 with a hybrid membrane composed of neutrophil membrane (Nm) & red blood cell membrane (Rm), accompanied by palmitoyl ascorbate (PA) to achieve reprogramming of immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and enhancement of sonodynamics therapy (SDT) in hypoxic tumor. Cell and animal experiments indicate that, the [email protected] probe can specifically target tumor at the inflammatory site, and it can effectively reduce the adsorption of neutrophils, then inhibit the polarization toward immunosuppressive M2 macrophage phenotype.

The effect of RE 2 O 3 (RE = La, Y, Er, Lu) on the oxidation behavior of RMI-SiC ceramics in air and wet oxygen atmospheres at 1400 °C were studied. The outward migration of RE 3+ cations reduces the oxidation resistance of SiC-RE ceramics in air, but improves the wet-oxidation resistance of SiC-RE ceramics due to the formation of denser RE 2 Si 2 O 7 layer. The outward migration rates of RE 3+ cations may be influenced jointly by the RE 3+ cation radius and the formation rate of RE 2 Si 2 O 7 . The higher mobility of Er 3+ and Y 3+ cations makes Y 2 O 3 and Er 2 O 3 promising modifier for enhancing the wet-oxidation resistance of RMI-SiC f /SiC composites, although the modified components need to be optimized and further analyzed in a more realistic service environment.

In this work, a stable bimetallic hydrotalcite-derived NiCu/MgAlO catalyst and O 2 as oxidant were used for the toluene oxidation to produce the valuable benzyl alcohol (PhCH 2 OH) and benzaldehyde (PhCHO) under solvent-free and additive-free conditions. This strategy gave 7.2% toluene conversion with 70.7% selectivity to PhCH 2 OH & PhCHO. Multiple characterizations showed that highly dispersed metallic Cu and Ni were anchored on the support surface and a chemical bonding interaction occurred between the metallic Ni and the MgAlO. The metal–support interaction contributed to the formation of active Ni 0 species and NiCu alloy with abundant oxygen defects, resulting in excellent catalytic activity and acceptable stability. A plausible reaction mechanism for the catalytic oxidation of toluene over NiCu/MgAlO catalyst has been proposed. The attractive feature of the present catalytic oxidation system compared to conventional methods was its ability to achieve high selectivity for the desired target product. The further advantage of NiCu/MgAlO catalyzed toluene oxidation was that the reaction temperature and time could be below 180 °C and 2 h, thereby minimizing energy consumption and reducing effluent wastewater, which has potential application prospects.

Superoxide anion radical scavenger and xanthine oxidase inhibitor play an important role in the treatment of several relevant human diseases. In the present study, ultrafiltration liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry coupled to microplate reader was applied to screen and identify superoxide anion radical scavengers and xanthine oxidase inhibitors from total flavonoids of Ginkgo biloba leaves. As a result, four compounds (quercetin, apigenin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin) were screened as xanthine oxidase inhibitors by ultrafiltration LC–MS, and the 50% scavenging concentration values of the screened flavonoids were lower than those for allopurinol. Lineweaver–Burk plot results indicated that kaempferol was a competitive xanthine oxidase inhibitor; the other flavonoids were all anticompetitive inhibitors. Four flavonoids—rutin, quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin—were screened as superoxide anion radical scavengers by LC–MS. The results demonstrate that the method for screening and evaluation of superoxide anion radical scavenger and xanthine oxidase inhibitor from a complex mixture system is feasible and efficient.

Flexible Li-O 2 batteries have attracted worldwide research interests and been considered to be potential alternatives for the next-generation flexible devices. Nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (N-CNFs) prepared by electrospinning are used as flexible substrate and an amorphous TiO 2 layer is coated by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and then decorated with Ru nanoparticles . The Ru/N-CNFs@TiO 2 composite is directly used as a free-standing electrode for Li-O 2 batteries and the electrode delivers a high specific capacity, improved round-trip efficiency and good cycling ability. The superior electrochemical performance can be attributed to the amorphous TiO 2 protecting layer and superior catalytic activity of Ru nanoparticles. Based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations from first principles, the carbon electrode after coating with TiO 2 is more stable during discharge/charge process. The analysis of Li 2 O 2 on three different interfaces (Li 2 O 2 /N-CNFs, Li 2 O 2 /TiO 2 , and Li 2 O 2 /Ru) indicates that the electron transport capacity was higher on Ru and TiO 2 compared with N-CNFs, therefore, Li 2 O 2 could be formed and decomposed more easily on the Ru/N-CNFs@TiO 2 cathode. This work paves a way to develop the free-standing cathode materials for the future development of high-performance flexible energy storage systems .
