In this paper, ultra-flyweight hydrophobic poly(m-phenylenediamine) aerogel (PmPDA) was fabricated via a simple two step approach from a poly(m-phenylenediamine) micro-spherical shell (PmPDMS). The PmPDA was first formed by freeze-drying and then cross-linked via the oxidative polymerization of surface groups following an annealing process. The PmPDA is hydrophilic before the annealing process and becomes hydrophobic (the contact angle is 103.7°) after it is annealed in air. Moreover, the obtained ultra-flyweight PmPDA (ρ = 0.8 mg cm−3) has a large surface area (338 m2 g−1), low thermal conductivity (0.0125 W m−1 K−1 at 25 °C) and excellent mechanical properties. Finally, the regenerated aerogels retain their original shape and ultrahigh absorption capability after more than 10 cycles, making PmPDA an ideal candidate for practical application in the absorption or removal of organics, particularly in environmental protection and pollution control.

In this work, a general strategy was developed for the facile synthesis of bimetallic AuM (M = Pt or Pd) alloyed flowerlike-assembly nanochains (FANs) with the assistance of diprophylline as a structure-directing and stabilizing agent. The morphologies, crystal structures, and compositions of AuPt and AuPd FANs were investigated primarily by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The formation mechanism was discussed in some detail by varying the concentration of diprophylline. The as-prepared AuM FANs displayed improved catalytic activities and better stabilities for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) compared to commercial E-TEK Pt/C, Pt black and Pd black.

A highly crystalline phase g-C 3 N 4 , namely poly (heptazine imide) (PHI) was synthesized using molten salts. A high-performance ultrafiltration membrane was prepared by blending PHI nanosheets with Poly( m -phenylene isophthalamide) (PMIA) to obtain casting solution, and further prepared by phase conversion method. Hybrid PMIA membranes were prepared by incorporating 0.02–0.10 wt% of PHI, which were further characterized by SEM, AFM, XRD, FTIR, XPS, TGA and surface zeta potential. The hydrophilicity, water flux, and rejection of bovine serum albumin (BSA) of the membrane significantly increased. For instance, the water permeability of M4 (264.6 Lm −2 h −1 bar −1 ) was about 2.3 times that of bare PMIA membrane (113.6 Lm −2 h −1 bar −1 ), while maintaining a BSA rejection of 94.7 % for a 1000 mgL −1 BSA feed solution. Moreover, the M4 membrane showed excellent antifouling performance with a flux recovery rate of up to 88.7 % and lower irreversible fouling of 11.3 %. This study may provide reference for the modulation of highly crystalline g-C 3 N 4 structure and its application in membrane fabrication for water treatment.

Selection of appropriate solvents is of great significance for achieving efficient and safe m-xylene nitration . In this study, the exothermic behavior of m-xylene nitration under twelve organic solvents were studied by reaction calorimetry. The process hazards were assessed by calculation of thermal safety parameters. The reaction selectivity was quantified. The anhydrides exhibited the prominent promotion as water absorbent and active reagent in nitration, followed by selected aliphatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons. While acetic acid, propionic acid and ethyl acetate had negative effects. The maximum yield of 95.6 % was achieved in nitric acid-acetic anhydride (HNO 3 -Ac 2 O) system. The thermal weight loss of the products appeared at around 150−230 °C by thermogravimetry experiments. The activation energy was determined to be 192.9 kJ/mol through adiabatic kinetic calculations. Furthermore, the solvent effects were analyzed by calculating the solvent polarity and its interaction energy with HNO 3 . The different action mechanisms of Ac 2 O and Pc 2 O on NO 2 + generation were revealed. The density functional theory calculations were in agreement with the experimental results. These findings can provide guidance for understanding of the solvent effect on the reaction hazards and selectivity of m-xylene nitration, and provide experimental and theoretical basis for solvent screening for the nitration of similar aromatic compounds.

MFe 2 O 4 (M = Ca, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn) spinel sorbents were synthesized by a low-temperature sol–gel auto-combustion method for arsenic adsorption from flue gas. CuFe 2 O 4 spinel exhibited the highest arsenic removal performance among these sorbents, and the adsorption capacity reached 14.09 mg/g at 800 °C. The pseudo-first order, pseudo-second-order and Elovich kinetic models can well predict arsenic removal process, which indicates that the mass transfer and chemisorption processes are important during arsenic capture by CuFe 2 O 4 . The impact of incineration flue gas components on As 2 O 3 adsorption was elucidated. It was found that HCl showed negligible effect on arsenic removal by CuFe 2 O 4 sorbent while CO 2 , H 2 O, SO 2 and NO played inhibition roles. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results revealed that the adsorbed arsenic exists in the forms of As 3+ and As 5+ on the sorbent surface. The chemisorption and oxidation mechanisms are responsible for arsenic adsorption by CuFe 2 O 4 . The toxicity characteristic leaching procedure and sequential extraction experiments demonstrated that arsenic can be considerably immobilized in the CuFe 2 O 4 sorbent. The high arsenic capture capacity, excellent HCl resistance and low risk of secondary contamination make CuFe 2 O 4 an efficient sorbent for gaseous arsenic capture.

Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) is a typical harmful algal associated with eutrophication, making the study of its inactivation critical for water restoration. In this research, g-C 3 N 4 /CeO 2 composites with S-scheme heterojunctions were synthesized and incorporated into sodium alginate (SA) to successfully prepare photocatalytic gel beads with floating capabilities. A photocatalytic persulfate (g-C 3 N 4 /CeO 2 /SA/Vis/PMS) system was developed to systematically investigate the algal inactivation efficacy of floating catalysts. The g-C 3 N 4 /CeO 2 S-scheme heterojunctions significantly enhanced algal inactivation efficiency, achieving up to 96.65 % inactivation within 80 min. The alterations in algal cell properties during the inactivation process were examined. A decrease in the content of algal bile proteins indicated a disruption of the photosynthetic system within the algal cells, while an increase in the concentrations of K + , Ca 2+ , and Mg 2+ suggested further disruption of algal cell membranes and walls. Additionally, three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy (EEM) results indicated that the extracellular organic matter produced during the rupture of algal cells was degraded into humic acid-like substances. The energy bands and electronic structure of g-C 3 N 4 /CeO 2 were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) to analyze the electron transfer mechanism involved in this process, which is consistent with the S-scheme electron transfer pathway. The effective inactivation of M. aeruginosa was successfully achieved through the combined action of the non-radical 1 O 2 ,·O 2 – , and h + generated during the photogenerated carrier transfer process. This approach offers a promising strategy for the management of algal blooms in eutrophic waters.

Real-time monitoring of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is imperative for medical diagnosis and effective environmental preservation. Despite the formidable challenge posed by the inherent chemical inertness of CO₂ molecules, a pioneering CO 2 sensor based on MOF-804 cofunctionalized with ionic liquid (IL) and m-cresol purple (mCP) is successfully developed. By ingeniously integrating hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, and hydrophobic properties within the sensitive layer, the sensor achieves a state-of-the-art sensitivity (Δf = 384 Hz), an exceptionally vast detection range spanning 400–80 000 ppm, and remarkable stability with minimal sensitivity drift even at relative humidity (RH) levels exceeding 80%. Furthermore, the inherent gasochromic property, stemming from the zwitterionic mechanism, paves the way for innovative self-sustaining CO 2 test strips and groundbreaking applications, including CO 2 tracking and CO 2 -encrypted security labeling technology. Collectively, the realization of this ultra-sensitive and robust CO 2 monitoring approach, coupled with its CO 2 -triggered visual and multifunctional capabilities, opens up novel avenues for dynamic CO 2 detection, advanced military encryption strategies, and enhanced health management systems.

Perovskite hydroxystannate (MSn(OH) 6 ) has garnered considerable interest in recent years as a novel flame retardant characterized by its low toxicity and environmentally benign properties. In order to improve the flame retardancy and smoke suppression properties of epoxy resin (EP) matrices, transition metal hydroxystannate (MSn(OH) 6 , M = Fe, Co, Mn) was prepared by a ultrasonic-coprecipitation method and used as flame retardants. The synthesized composites were assessed for their flame retardant characteristics and mechanical properties through the measurement of the limiting oxygen index (LOI), the cone calorimetry test (CCT), and universal tensile testing. Upon the incorporation of 10 wt% of the MSn(OH) 6 flame retardants, the flame retardant of EP composites exhibited marked enhancement, especially manganese hydroxystannate (MHS). Compared with pure EP, the EP/MHS-10 composite demonstrated the best performance, reducing the peak of heat release rate (pHRR), total heat release (THR), total smoke production (TSP) by 60.0%, 14.4%, and 32.6%, respectively. During the process of combustion, the decomposition of MSn(OH) 6 results in the generation of non-flammable gases and water vapor. In the condensed phase, tin (Sn) and transition metals contribute to the formation of a more protective char residue. The residue serves as a physical barrier, effectively isolating the underlying epoxy (EP) matrix material from heat and oxygen.

Nano magnetic particles immobilized on the surface of carbon spheres ( M Fe 2 O 4 /CNS, M = Mn, Ni, Zn) composites have been obtained through a facile and environmental friendly solvothermal method. The measurement results of M Fe 2 O 4 /CNS clarified the successful preparation of M Fe 2 O 4 /CNS and characterization of composites. Meanwhile, the activation performance of M Fe 2 O 4 /CNS was also measured through catalyzing persulfate (PS) for degrading Rhodamine B. Results showed that the catalytic performance of M Fe 2 O 4 /CNS for PS activation was much stronger than that of pure CNS, and the catalytic ability of M Fe 2 O 4 /CNS was MnFe 2 O 4 /CNS > NiFe 2 O 4 /CNS > ZnFe 2 O 4 /CNS. The influence factors of Rhodamine B degradation were also investigated. When the optimum conditions were conducted, with PS 5 × 10 –3 M, MnFe 2 O 4 /CNS 0.5 g/L, initial pH 6.0, and 60 °C, 98.4% Rhodamine B degradation was obtained within 70 min. Finally, the recycle of MnFe 2 O 4 /CNS was carried out for four times, which demonstrated the favorable retrievability and reusability of MnFe 2 O 4 /CNS. The experiments also proved that the synthesized MnFe 2 O 4 /CNS was a potentially useful catalyst for contaminants degradation in water/wastewater treatment.

The combined pollution toxicity of hexavalent chromium heavy metal (Cr(VI)) and antibiotics (such as ofloxacin, OFL) is much higher than that of a single pollutant, posing a serious challenge to the ecological environment. Photocatalytic technology can achieve the removal of both single pollutants and composite pollutants. It is urgent to develop catalysts with high carrier separation efficiency and photocatalytic degradation performance. In this work, we successfully prepared m-PDI/BiOI heterojunction catalysts (mPB-3) with tight contact interfaces using the continuous ion layer adsorption and reaction method, and applied them to the synergistic removal of OFL and Cr(VI). The results showed that mPB-3 exhibited a bidirectional enhancement effect. The degradation rate of OFL reached more than 99.5 % within 40 min, the corresponding reduction efficiency of Cr(Ⅵ) reached 63.7 % at pH = 9. Furthermore, the influence of different environmental factors on the degradation process have also been clarified, indicating that mPB-3 has good stability and adaptability. The system characterization results confirmed that a S-scheme heterojunction has been formed. This can accelerate the rapid migration of electrons from m-PDI to BiOI, achieving efficient charge separation, and ultimately enhancing the photocatalytic activity. Finally, the degradation intermediate products and degradation mechanism were analyzed. This study provides a feasible solution for the design of efficient photocatalytic materials and their application in the combined pollution treatment of OFL and Cr(VI). Environmental implication Cr(VI) and OFL coexisting in water bodies pose significant ecological risks due to their enhanced combined toxicity. Traditional treatment techniques often struggle to effectively address such complex pollution systems. This study demonstrates that the m-PDI/BiOI heterojunction photocatalyst can efficiently synergistically remove both contaminants under environmentally relevant conditions (e.g., pH = 9), providing a practical strategy to mitigate composite pollution challenges. The S-scheme charge separation mechanism offers insights for designing advanced catalysts to tackle emerging multi-pollutant threats in aquatic ecosystems, supporting sustainable water treatment solutions.

Organic multiferroic heterostructure is one of the most promising structures for the future design of high-density flexible energy-efficient data storage. Here, organic ferromagnetic metal(tetracyanoethylene) (M(TCNE)) x /ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) multiferroic heterostructures are fabricated, where the excited state in M(TCNE) x interacted with localized dipole in P(VDF-TrFE) provides a key link for the interfacial coupling. Thus, aligned dipoles in P(VDF-TrFE) by external electric field can affect the magnetization of Fe(TCNE) x effectively to result in a pronounced magnetization–voltage ( M – V ) hysteresis loop. Moreover, light-induced electron-hole pairs in Fe(TCNE) x with long lifetime effectively interact with the dipoles in P(VDF-TrFE) to lead to an effect in external light control of electric polarization of P(VDF-TrFE). Overall, the organic multiferroic heterostructure provides the possibility of realizing two storage modes, light control of dipole as well as electric field control of spin, which can broaden multifunctional applications of organic multiferroic materials in the area of multistate storage.

m -Cresol and p -cresol cannot be effectively separated using conventional distillation because of their proximate boiling temperatures. This study investigated the adsorption separation of cresol using the short b -axis ZSM-5 synthesized via a urea-assisted method. In contrast to the ellipsoidal HZSM-5, which was approximately 1 μm in length, the thickness of the sheet-like HZSM-5 decreased to 36 nm, resulting in an increase in total cresol adsorption capacity from 76 to 122 mg/g. Applying the CLD method, an increase in the TEOS:HZSM-5 ratio from 0 to 0.83 resulted in the increase in p -cresol adsorption capacity from 69 to 106 mg/g, while m -cresol adsorption capacity dropped from 53 to 12 mg/g. The adsorption selectivity significantly rose from 1.3 to 9.7. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms demonstrated that the process was exothermic for p -cresol and endothermic for m -cresol.
