Seeking novel solar energy utilization and conversion methods has always been a frontier topic in energy research. Here, we propose a new way to directly photoelectrodeposit metals using solar energy based on semiconductor energy band theory . Three kinds of semiconductor photoanodes (TiO 2 , BiVO 4 and Fe 2 O 3 ) are employed to deposit metallic Cu or Bi at the cathode under illumination without external voltage. It is found that when TiO 2 and BiVO 4 are used as photoanodes, Cu, Cu 2 O and Bi can be continuously deposited on the cathode, but when Fe 2 O 3 photoanode is irradiated, no material comes out. The results prove that the potential of electrons in the conduction band determines whether photoelectric deposition occurs or not. The related mechanism involves the oxygen reduction reaction (OER) of the valence band holes of the photoanode, the collection of conduction band electrons by back electrode, as well as the reduction of metal ions on the counter electrode. In addition, we also put forward the concept of using the deposited Cu or Bi as the metal electrode to form a new metal-air battery to release chemical energy of the deposited metal.

The development of high-performance catalyst materials with high catalytic activity for the hydrolysis of organophosphorus toxicants without additional pH buffer conditions has become an urgent need for practical application. Here, a multifunctional molecularly imprinted polymer double network hydrogel (MIP-DN) material has been prepared by integrating the first polymer network containing the functional group of bi-amidoxime as the catalytic active center and the cationic polymer polyethyleneimine (PEI) with pH buffer function as the main component of the second network. Advantageously, the resultant MIP-DN hydrogel showed excellent catalytic performance without additional pH buffer conditions, exhibiting a half-life of 25 min for the hydrolysis of paraoxon in pure water. Together with multi-functions of high catalytic activity, self-buffering function and excellent processability, the MIP-DN hydrogel prepared in this work provides a new strategy for the preparation of catalytic materials with practical application value toward toxic organophosphates .

Herein, a hollow microtubular Fe/Mn-promoted CaO-Ca 12 Al 14 O 33 bi-functional material was prepared by the bio-template method and used for H 2 production from sorption enhanced water gas shift (SEWGS). The microtubular Fe/Mn-promoted CaO-Ca 12 Al 14 O 33 exhibits excellent CO 2 capture and H 2 production performance in SEWGS/regeneration cycles. The stable hollow microtubular structure improves available adsorption and catalytic sites in Fe/Mn-promoted CaO-Ca 12 Al 14 O 33 for CO 2 capture and H 2 production. Mn addition improves CO 2 affinity capacity of the microtubular material. The Fe-Mn interaction increases redox ability of Fe 3+ /Fe 3+, 2+ , which promotes CO conversion. Moreover, the formed Ca 2 Fe 2 O 5 and Ca 2 MnO 4 both increase oxygen vacancies to promote catalytic activity of the microtubular material for WGS and its CO 2 capture capacity. The CO conversions for the microtubular material with the Fe/Mn/Al/Ca molar ratio= 10/2/10/100 are 98.7% and 94.0% after 20 cycles under the mild and severe calcination conditions, respectively. The hollow microtubular bi-functional material shows good prospect for efficient H 2 production from SEWGS.

The sorption-enhanced steam gasification of biomass (SESGB) using CaO-based materials is considered as a promising method for H 2 production. Ca-Al-Ce material has been reported as a good bi-functional material in SESGB process. Red mud is a solid waste in aluminium industry with large yield, which is rich in Fe 2 O 3 . In this work, a red mud-doped Ca-Al-Ce bi-functional material was prepared by wet-mechanical mixing method for H 2 production from SESGB. The CO 2 capture, H 2 production, and tar reduction performances during SESGB process using the red mud-doped Ca-Al-Ce bi-functional material were studied. The results show that the optimum addition amount of red mud in the bi-functional material is 5 wt%. After 20 SESGB cycles, the H 2 concentration using the red mud-doped Ca-Al-Ce material achieves 65.1 vol%, which is 82.4% higher than that using Ca-Al-Ce material. Besides, with the addition of red mud in the bi-functional material, the tar, residue char yields and CO 2 concentration decrease by 25.2%, 8.6% and 52.2%, respectively. Fe 2 O 3 in the red mud reacts with CaO to form Ca 2 Fe 2 O 5 in the 1st cycle, and Ca 2 Fe 2 O 5 is stable during 20 cycles, which is beneficial for the generation of oxygen vacancy. The oxidation states of Fe species in the material increase with the number of SESGB cycles, thus the catalytic effects on water gas shift reaction and tar reduction are promoted. The red mud addition is the key factor that results in high H 2 production, CO 2 capture and tar reduction performances, so the red mud-doped Ca-Al-Ce material appears promising for SESGB.

The Ti 3 C 2 -based MXene with unique lamellar nanostructure and high conductivity is expected to effectively improve photocatalytic ability of composites as a cocatalyst. Herein, two dimensional Ti 3 C 2 -based MXene nanosheets decorated with copper sulfide particles (CuS@MXene) were synthesized by hydrothermal treatment to boost catalytic persulfate (PS) activation under light, exhibiting remarkable reactivity and stability for the rapid removal of Orange II. The phase composition of CuS@MXene was detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD), the morphology of CuS@MXene was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) proved the elemental composition and valence state of elements in the CuS@MXene. The dosage of PS and initial pH of solution were the main factors affecting the removal rate of Orange II, and the quenching experiment showed that 1 O 2 was the primary reactive species for the removal of Orange II in CuS@MXene -PS system. In addition, this study showed that CuS@MXene provided bi-active centers for PS activation, which was mainly attributed to the rapid charge transfer between dual electron-rich active centers of Cu and Ti. This system may be applicable to the degradation of other challenging organic pollutants .

The electrochemical oxidation of glycerol is considered as a promising route to generate high value-added products. Rationally tuning the electronic structure of Pt catalysts by supporter and modifier is desirable for promoting the activity and stability of glycerol electrooxidation reaction (GEOR). In this work, we report Pt–Bi hybrid nanoparticles anchored hollow titanium nitride nanowires grew on carbon cloth (Pt 1-x -Bi x /TiN HNWs/CC (0≤ x ≤ 1)) as a self-supported monolithic electrode for efficient GEOR. Contributed by 3D porous nanotube structure, high corrosion resistance and conductivity of TiN, and strong electronic coupling effect of Pt, Bi, and TiN, the optimized Pt 0.95 -Bi 0.05 /TiN HNWs/CC electrode exhibits good catalytic activity and stability for GEOR. It shows a high peak current density of 88.4 mA cm −2 or 306.7 mA mg Pt −1 in 0.05 M glycerol +1.0 M KOH solution. After continuous electrolysis for 8 h in 0.05 M glycerol +1.0 M KOH solution at a constant potential of 0.85 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (vs. RHE), a high glycerol conversion of 87.0%, a moderate selectivity of 36.6% for glyceric acid , and a good stability were achieved, which is superior to other compared electrodes and most of the reported Pt–Bi catalysts.

Wastewater containing quinoline has become a common pollutant in water and soil environments, which poses a threat to human health due to its carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, and mutagenicity. Quinoline’s stability and toxicity hinders its degradation by conventional physicochemical and biological methods. In this contribution, Fe-Co-Bi/kaolin particle electrodes were prepared for the efficient degradation of quinoline in wastewater, and characterized by using scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, pyridine-IR, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and four-probe resistivity test. Parameters affecting the degradation efficiency were optimized to be the particle electrode dosage of 40 g/L, pH 3.5, H 2 O 2 addition of 67.6 mmol/L, electrical conductivity of 12.7 ms/cm, and voltage of 20 V. The constructed three-dimensional catalytic particle electrode system (3D-CPE) achieved 92.1% removal rate of chemical oxygen demand (COD) under the optimal conditions. Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) generated in the 3D-CPE process were identified by radical scavenging tests and electron spin response analysis. To unravel the degradation mechanism, the intermediate products were identified by using high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The degradation mechanism was discussed with the help of theoretical calculation.

Heterojunctions are often introduced into gas sensor electrodes due to they can lower the working temperature and increase response rate during gas-sensing detection. However, many reported core–shell structured heterojunctions show a bad synergistic enhancement effect from both components. Here, a type of side-by-side bi-component heterojunction nanofibers of NiO/In 2 O 3 (INO SBHNFs) was designed by the self-made V-channel electrospinning technique. Results showed that these SBHNFs are comprised of two component NFs that attach together side-by-side with a well-defined interface. And the sensors based on INO-10 SBHNFs show the highest response of 210 to 100 ppm ethanol at 260 °C, which is an order of magnitude higher than all those of the ones based on the In 2 O 3 and INO-10-C NFs. Moreover, the INO-10 SBHNF sensors also show a high response recovery rate (4 s/36 s) and a low limit of detection (<200 ppb). Further analysis indicates that this side-by-side design can totally utilize the heterojunctions’ motivation and the solid solution’s enhancement on the formation of depletion layer (including the transfer of electrons), and the synergistic enhancement effect from both components and their surface. Besides, the sensors based on INO SBHNFs also show a good selectivity, as well as a high long-term stability.

Electrocatalytic water splitting in acidic media is a promising strategy for grid scale production of hydrogen using renewable energy, but challenges still exist in the development of advanced catalysts with both high activity and stability. Herein, it is reported that iridium doped tungsten trioxide (Ir-doped WO 3 ) with arrayed structure and confined Ir sites is an efficient and durable bi-functional catalyst for overall acidic water splitting. A low overpotential (258 mV) is required to achieve an oxygen evolution reaction current density of 10 mA cm −2 in 0.5 m H 2 SO 4 solution. Meanwhile, Ir-doped WO 3 processes a similar intrinsic activity to Pt/C toward hydrogen evolution reaction. Overall water splitting using the bi-functional Ir-doped WO 3 catalyst shows low cell voltages of 1.56 and 1.68 V to drive the current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm −2 , respectively, with only 16 mV decay observed after 60 h continuous electrolysis under the current density of 100 mA cm −2 . Structural analysis and density functional theory calculation indicate that the adjusted coordination environment of Ir within the crystalline matrix of WO 3 contributes to the high activity and durability.

Bi/BiOCl/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 heterojunction was prepared via one-step hydrothermal process under the synergistic catalysis of Ni 2+ , where Bi(NO 3 ) 3 was employed as Bi source, DMF was used as carbon source and reductant, NiCl 2 was adopted as Cl source and co-catalyst. The content of Bi, BiOCl and Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 can be adjusted by changing the reaction time, temperature, content of DMF and NiCl 2 . The doping of Bi enhanced the photocatalytic activity of BiOCl/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 under visible-light. Bi/BiOCl/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 presented photo-degradation activity for environmental pollutants of rhodamine B, sunset yellow and tetracycline, which were 13.01, 9.40, 1.50 times and 168.38, 10.90, 4.75 times higher than BiOCl and Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 , respectively. The improved photocatalytic activity was ascribed to the sensitized effect of Bi and BiOCl, the surface plasmon resonance effect and the heterojunction structure, which inhibited the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The degradation mechanism for rhodamine B was discussed, and the decreased toxicity of the degradation products was demonstrated.

Palladium (Pd) is supposed to be one of the most promising catalytic metals towards ethanol (C 2 H 5 OH) oxidation reaction (EOR). However, Pd electrocatalysts easily suffer from the poisoning of the intermediates (especially CO), resulting in the quick decay of EOR catalysis. Herein, inspired by the Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory, a “attraction–repulsion” concept is proposed to guide the surface structure engineering toward EOR catalysts. Specifically, we induce Bi(OH) 3 species as Brønsted base onto PdBi nanoplates to effectively repel the adsorption of CO intermediates. The PdBi-Bi(OH) 3 nanoplates show an impressive mass activity of 4.46 A mg Pd -1 during the EOR catalysis and keep excellent stability. Both the stability and enhanced performance are attributed by the interfacial Brønsted base Bi(OH) 3 which can selectively attract and repel reactants and intermediates, as evidenced from in situ measurements and theoretical views.

A scaffold, constructed from a bi-layer silk fibroin skeleton (BSFS) and a bladder acellular matrix hydrogel (BAMH) encapsulated with adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), was developed for bladder augmentation in a rat model. The BSFS, prepared from silk fibroin (SF), had good mechanical properties that allowed it to maintain the scaffold shape and be used for stitching. The prepared BAM was digested by pepsin and the pH was adjusted to harvest the BAMH that provided an extracellular environment for the ASCs. The constructed BSFS–BAMH–ASCs and BSFS–BAMH scaffolds were wrapped in the omentum to promote neovascularization and then used for bladder augmentation; at the same time, a cystotomy was used as the condition for the control group. Histological staining and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed that the omentum incubation could promote scaffold vascularization. Hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome staining indicated that the BSFS–BAMH–ASCs scaffold regenerated the bladder wall structure. In addition, immunofluorescence analyses confirmed that the ASCs could promote the regeneration of smooth muscle, neurons and blood vessels and the restoration of physiological function. These results demonstrated that the BSFS–BAMH–ASCs may be a promising scaffold for promoting bladder wall regeneration and the restoration of physiological function of the bladder in a rat bladder augmentation model.
