Heterogeneous catalysts have been developed for C-C coupling reactions, but stand low activity and always proceed under harsh conditions. Photocatalytic Stille cross-coupling reaction as a green catalytic method for C-C bond formation is of great interest for a wide range of scientists but still lacks stable and highly efficient catalysts. Herein, we have designed an Au nanoparticle-graphitic carbon nitride heterojunction as an outstanding photo-catalyst for artificial photosynthesis in Stille cross-coupling reaction. The interface effect between metal and semiconductor makes electron rectify and prevents the recombination of electron-hole pairs. Moreover, the efficiency of Au nanoparticle catalysts could be adjusted by gold contents. Thus the turnover frequency(TOF) value reached the highest level of 788 h −1 over the optimal heterojunction catalyst. Most importantly, the C-C bond formation reaction has been proved to be carried out well under visible light irradiation, indicating the low-cost organic synthesis process. Further analysis confirmed the stability and general application of our heterogeneous Au nano-heterojunction catalyst.

Cubic boride crystals with pure boron isotopes have attracted great attention in recent years. Here, high-quality cubic boron phosphide single crystals with isotopic 10B and a maximum width reaching 1.5 mm are grown via the high-temperature molten salt method. An interesting phenomenon that there are many discrete sharp lines in the low-temperature (4–80 K) photoluminescence spectra is observed. Besides, as temperature increases, the luminescence intensity of these sharp lines shows a nonmonotonic decay with two different trends exhibited. Based on analyses, the sharp-line emission originates from phonon-assisted donor–acceptor pair radiative recombination. The nonmonotonic decay is affected by the number of assisting phonons and the degree of thermal ionization under the effect of temperature, and the different decay trends are attributed to the effect of thermal ionization dependent on the distance between the donor and acceptor. Results obtained in this research are expected to enrich the knowledge concerning cubic boride crystals in the aspect of physical properties.

A nanocluster Ni–WC/C electrocatalyst is prepared through a sequential impregnation method and is used for the urea electrooxidation in alkaline conditions. The micro-morphology, lattice parameter , composition and surface states of Ni–WC/C particles are determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS) analysis. The electrooxidation activity and stability of the Ni–WC/C catalyst are also investigated by cyclic voltammograms and chronoamperograms. Characterization results indicate that the Ni nanoclusters are uniformly distributed on the WC/C framework, and the Ni–WC/C catalyst shows high electrocatalytic activity and stability for urea electrooxidation. The maximum current density at the Ni–WC/C electrode is almost 700 mA cm −2 mg −1 which is one order of magnitude higher than that at the Ni/C electrode, and the steady current density at the Ni–WC/C electrode is also markedly improved. Furthermore, the ESA values and XPS spectra indicate that the enhanced performance of the Ni–WC/C catalyst could be attributed to the structure effect and electron effect between nickel and tungsten carbide .

Using NaF as the only Na precursor, fluorophosphate Na 2 FePO 4 F/C materials have been synthesized via the solid-state reaction. Na 2 FePO 4 F starts to form at 300 °C, becomes the sole crystalline form between 400 and 600 °C, and decomposes at 650 °C. Comparing with the theoretical capacity of 124 mAh g −1 , the sample prepared at 600 °C delivered a discharge capacity of 118 mAh g −1 . The outstanding electrochemical performance is believed to result from the good crystallization and high purity of the synthesized materials . The capacity retentions at 0.5 C and 2 C are 95.8% and 89.8%, respectively, of that at 0.05 C. Furthermore, a discharge capacity of 122 mAh g −1 is maintained under the cycling between 2.0 and 5.2 V vs. Li/Li + , indicating that the second Na + is not extracted from the Na 2 FePO 4 F lattice.

Vitamin C (VitC) has shown great promise to promote cancer immunotherapy , however, its high hydrophilicity makes it quickly excreted, leading to limited therapeutic efficiency even with frequent high-dose administration. Herein, we provide a pioneering report about the employment of VitC amphiphile self-assembled nanofiber hydrogels for enhanced cancer immunotherapy. Specifically, driven by hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions , the synthesized VitC amphiphile, consisting of a hydrophilic VitC headgroup and a hydrophobic alkyl chain, could self-assemble into an injectable nanofiber hydrogel with self-healing properties. The formed VitC hydrogel not only serves as a reservoir for VitC but also acts as an effective delivery platform for stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist-4 (SA). Interestingly, the VitC hydrogel itself exhibits antitumor effects by upregulating genes related to interferon (IFN) signaling, apoptotic signaling and viral recognition and defense. Moreover, the SA-encapsulated VitC hydrogel ( [email protected] hydrogel) synergistically activated the immune system to inhibit the progression of both local and abscopal tumors.

Reliable power supplies at extremely high temperatures are urgently needed to broaden the application scenarios for electric devices. Aqueous zinc metal batteries (ZMBs) with intrinsic safety are a promising alterative for high-temperature energy storage. However, the reversibility and long-term cycling stability of aqueous ZMBs at extremely high temperatures (≥100 °C) have rarely been explored. Herein, we reveal that spontaneous Zn corrosion and severe electrochemical hydrogen evolution at high temperature are vital restrictions for traditional aqueous ZMBs. To address this, a crowding agent, 1,5-pentanediol, was introduced into an aqueous electrolyte to suppress water reactivity by strengthening O–H bonds of H2O and decreasing H2O content in the Zn2+ solvation sheath, while maintaining flame resistance of the electrolyte. Importantly, this electrolyte enabled reversible Zn deposition with a Coulombic efficiency of 98.1% and a long cycling life of Zn//Zn batteries for over 500 cycles (at 1 mA cm–2 and 0.5 mAh cm–2) at 100 °C. Moreover, stable cycling of Zn//Te full batteries at 100 °C was demonstrated.

The production of H 2 from non-fossil sources is a key research challenge to contributing solving the forthcoming energy problem. Aqueous solutions of tetrahydroxydiboron have very recently appeared as a H 2 source, from which both hydrogen atoms are provided by water, in the presence of highly sophisticated nanocatalysts. Herein, commercial and cheap Pd/C is shown to be an efficient and recyclable catalyst for H 2 evolution upon tetrahydroxydiboron hydrolysis. Graphic Abstract

SiC-W2B5/C composites were prepared through a novel and simple processing route (reaction hot-pressing). The density of composites increased from 96.1% to 99.2% with the increase in SiC content from 5 to 30 vol%, leading to significant improvements in mechanical properties such as flexural strength, fracture toughness, and Vickers hardness, which for the highest W15S30 composite were measured at 292.3 MPa, 6.12 MPa·m1/2, and 3.32 GPa, respectively. The fracture morphology exhibited a mixed fracture mode of transgranular and intergranular, along with a pull-out phenomenon, indicating a well-combined interface. The sintering process involved Si powder acting as a liquid-phase sintering agent, reacting with B4C to increase the B concentration and promote the generation of W2B5, as well as reacting with the carbon phase to generate a transition phase of Si-B-C. The presence of this transition phase enhanced the interface bonding strength and catalyzed the graphitization process. As the SiC content increased, the promotion effect became more pronounced, with the degree of graphitization increasing from 59.2% to 66.2%.

Herein, a biochar-based composite (Ti 3 C 2 T x @biochar-PDA/PEI) was constructed by decorating Ti 3 C 2 T x and polydopamine on coconut shell biochar via electrostatic self-assembly method. Different characterization techniques were applied to explore the structure, morphology and composition of the sorbents. It was found that the higher porosity and diverse functional groups were conducive for Ti 3 C 2 T x @biochar-PDA/PEI to capture radionuclides, and the water environmental conditions made a great contribution to the adsorption process. The process of removing U(VI)/Cs(I) well complied with the Langmuir isotherm and Pseudo-second-order equations, which indicated that the single layer chemical adsorption occurred on the solid liquid interface. Meanwhile, this produced composite exhibited superior removal performance under complex co-existing ion environment, and the maximum adsorption amounts of U(VI) and Cs(I) reached up to 239.7 and 40.3 mg g −1 . Impressively, this adsorbent still exhibited good adsorption performance after three cycles of regeneration. The spectral analysis and DFT calculation demonstrated that adsorption of U(VI) might be a chemical process, while the adsorption of Cs(I) should be ion exchange or electrostatic attraction. This study demonstrated the potential application of Ti 3 C 2 T x @biochar-PDA/PEI as an effective remediation strategy for radioactive wastewater cleanup. Graphical Abstract

The selective electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol to high-value C2–C3 chemicals offers a promising approach to glycerol overproduction, while it struggles with precise C–C cleavage and limited selectivity from multiple pathways. Regulating the adsorption capacity of glycerol oxidation intermediates and the degree of C–C bond cleavage through the interfacial electronic structure of electrocatalysts is crucial for controlling C2–C3 selectivity. Herein, a self-supported p-n heterojunction catalyst (Co3O4/CeO2) is developed for the efficient electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol to C2 chemicals, achieving a glycolic acid selectivity of 42%, with a yield of 19.6 μmol cm–2 h–1. The built-in electric field enables rapid interfacial charge transfer from CeO2 to Co3O4, which leads to the upshifted d-band center of active Co3O4. Electrochemical characterization and theoretical calculations demonstrate that the heterojunction promotes the adsorption of hydroxyl species and glycerol, thereby enhancing the activity of the glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR). Concurrently, the optimized electron cloud distribution of Co3O4 active sites strengthens the adsorption of oxygen-containing intermediates while weakening the adsorption of glycolic acid and suppresses the further cleavage of C–C bonds, thus increasing glycolic acid selectivity. This study clarifies the redox kinetic adsorption regulation mechanism of the Co3O4/CeO2 heterojunction catalyst and provides a highly promising electrocatalyst design strategy for the production of high-value-added C2 products via glycerol oxidation.

Developing high-performance CO 2 -based polymers is promising to address the challenges of CO 2 sequestration and the environmental impact of petroleum-based plastics. The δ-lactone 3-ethylidene-6-vinyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one and its derivatives, synthesized from CO 2 with 1,3-butadiene, have emerged as very promising CO 2 -derived monomers. However, their general ring-opening polymerizations face challenges with thermodynamics and kinetics, generally resulting in long reaction times, low conversions, and low-molecular-weight polyesters with poor mechanical properties. Herein, we report a dual isomerization-driven cationic ring-opening polymerization (DI-CROP) of a CO 2 -derived thionolactone, 3-ethyl-6-vinyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-thione, in which the relayed S/O and vinyl isomerizations significantly enhance polymerization activity, enabling the rapid synthesis of high-molecular-weight CO 2 -based polythioesters, achieving near-quantitative conversion within just a few minutes. Also, the relayed S/O and vinyl isomerizations in DI-CROP can easily migrate C=C substituents on the ring of thionolactone into its backbone. These features further enable the production of sustainable CO 2 -based materials through efficient copolymerization and post-polymerization functionalization. This study enriches the realm of isomerization-driven polymerizations, and provides a new synthetic approach to CO 2 -derived polymeric materials.

In order to have a better prediction for the degradation reaction rate constant of organic compounds in Fenton process at different temperatures. A partial least squares (PLS) model was established based on 116 lg k values for 24 organic compounds and quantum chemical parameters, some basic information of molecules as well as the temperature of reaction system. The optimal model was demonstrated as stable, robust and had good predictive ability, with the associate statistical indices of adjusted squared correlation coefficient was 0.722, internal validation was 0.652, external validation was 0.512, cumulative cross-validation coefficient was 0.635, the criterions indicated the developed model could be used to estimate the reaction rate of organic compounds in Fenton process at different temperature. The model contains three components, the most significant descriptors explaining the reaction rate are T and 1/ T for component 1, the maximum charge in a carbon atom and minimum charge for nucleophilic attack for component 2, the charge in a hydrogen atom, maximum charge for hydroxyl radical attack and minimum value of bond order for component 3. The applicability domain (APD) of the proposed model was calculated by the Euclidean distances. The results of APD showed that the predictions by the derived PLS model were reliable. The proposed model not only offer a method to predict the reaction rates, but also give some insights of the mechanism for the degradation of organic compounds in Fenton process at different temperatures.
