This work presents a facile way to fabricate a polymer/ceramics composite gel electrolyte to improve the overall properties of lithium-ion batteries. Lithium salt-grafted silica was synthesized and mixed with P(VDF-HFP) to produce a nanofiber film by the electrostatic spinning method. After coating a layer of SiO2onto the surface of nanofibers through a sol-gel method, a composite nanofiber film was obtained. It was then immersed in plasticizer until saturation to make a composite gel electrolyte film. Electrochemical test results showed that the obtained gel electrolyte film shows high thermal stability (~450 °C), high ionic conductivity of 1.3 × 10−3S cm−1at 25 °C and a lithium-ion transference number of 0.58, and superior cycling stability, providing a new direction for manufacturing secondary batteries with higher safety and performance.

Para-arsanilic acid ( p -ASA) is widely used as a feed additive, making it a pervasive environmental pollutant. Due to its migratory and transformative nature, p -ASA can easily convert into more toxic inorganic arsenic during its migration, thereby increasing the ecological burden and posing a threat to human health. Efficient removal of p -ASA from water is crucial for mitigating arsenic contamination. Efficient removal of p -ASA from water is crucial for mitigating arsenic contamination. This study introduced zirconium-loaded collagen fiber membrane (CFM Zr), a novel, sustainable membrane adsorption material synthesized by retanning collagen fiber membranes (CFM) with zirconium (Zr). Leveraging the physicochemical properties of CFM and the strong affinity of Zr for p -ASA, CFM-Zr achieved highly efficient p -ASA removal. The resulting membrane was made entirely from green, low-carbon and recyclable raw materials, achieving sustainable removal of p -ASA while realizing the concept of treating waste with waste for environmental recovery. Remarkably, the retanning with zirconium significantly enhanced the Zeta potential of CFM Zr, strengthening its electrostatic attraction to p -ASA, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 289.02 mg·g −1 , which was 19.72 times higher than that of the CFM before retanning (13.95 mg·g −1 ). Its adsorption rate constant was 12.54 mg·g −1 ·min −1 . Moreover, CFM-Zr showed good reusability and exhibited electrostatic adsorption and metal coordination effects on the “organic” parts (-OH, -NH 2 ) and “inorganic” parts (As O) of p -ASA, effectively removing it. This work provided a promising bio-based material for water purification, promoted the sustainable utilization of leather industry waste, and offered significant advancements in environmental remediation and resource recovery.

Water electrooxidation in proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolyzers has been considered to be a four-electron pathway mechanism, which leads to inherent sluggish kinetics that severely limits the scalable production of high-purity H2. Herein, cobalt phosphide/iron phosphide (Co2P/FeP) nanosheets with electron redistribution through aerogel-assisted and gas-phase phosphorization strategies have been reported. Benefiting from the unique nanosheet structure and electron redistribution induced by p–d hybridization interaction, the as-obtained Co2P/FeP nanosheets display outstanding alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. Co–P and Fe–P charge bridges trigger p–d orbital hybridization between the transition metal and P elements, which downshifts the d-band center of Co2P/FeP nanosheets and accelerates the formation of *OOH with a lower energy barrier that can expedite the water electrooxidation process with an overpotential of 257 mV to reach the 10 mA cm−2 current density and a Tafel slope of 39.6 mV dec−1. This work provides a deep insight into understanding the remarkable OER properties of transition metal phosphates by electron redistribution.

With the increasing needs of people for a better life, the problem of water resources pollution has attracted wide attention. The construction of p-n heterojunction is an effective strategy to promote the removal of pollutants by photocatalysts. In this work, a series of BiOBr/Cu 2 S heterojunction photocatalysts with mass ratios of Cu 2 S have been synthesized successfully by a hydrothermal method combined with grinding method for photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline (TC) and ciprofloxacin (CIP). The results showed that BiOBr/Cu 2 S exhibited superior photodegradation efficiency of TC and ciprofloxacin CIP than BiOBr and Cu 2 S monomers. When the mass ratio of Cu 2 S is 0.15 %, the visible degradation of CIP and TC are 79.2 % in 90 min and 88.5% in 60 min. In addition, the effects of different inorganic ions and pH value on the photocatalytic performance of BiOBr/Cu 2 S were investigated. It was proved that superoxide free radical (•O 2 - ) was the main active species by free radical trapping experiment. The photocatalytic degradation process was further evaluated by total organic carbon and mass spectrometry tests. This work provides a feasible construction strategy for photocatalysts with potential application in water resources pollutants.

Introduction: Applying biochar (BC) to reduce toxic substance accumulation in soil, either through direct adsorption or modulation of the microbial community, has received considerable attention. However, a knowledge gap exists regarding how BC regulates microbial community structure and functions to mitigate toxic substance accumulation.Methods: We previously identified p-coumaric acid (p-CA) as a representative autotoxin in tobacco rhizosphere soil. On this basis, this study simulated a soil environment with p-CA accumulation to investigate the impacts of BC on p-CA, soil physicochemical properties, and microbial community structure and function.Results: The results showed that p-CA could be directly adsorbed onto BC, which followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.996). A pot experiment revealed that BC significantly reduced soil p-CA, altered soil microbial composition, and enhanced bacterial community diversity. A weighted correlation network analysis showed a close association between taxon 1 in the microbial network and p-CA, suggesting a pivotal role for this taxon in reducing p-CA, with Devosia and Nocardioides identified as potential key contributors to this process. The prediction of possible keystone taxa functions showed that BC increased the relative abundances of aromatic compound degraders. Mantel tests indicated that soil organic matter exerted the greatest influence on keystone taxa functions and hub genera.Discussion: These findings suggest that BC may either directly chemisorb p-CA or indirectly facilitate p-CA degradation by regulating the functioning of keystone taxa. The results of this study provide a novel perspective for further investigation of the mechanisms through which BC reduces the accumulation of toxic substances in soil.

As a crucial component of flexible electronic devices, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)-based hydrogels for strain sensors have garnered extensive attention for their potential in the field of wearable sensors due to their inherent conductivity and flexibility. However, challenges such as poor mechanical strength, limited sensitivity, and poor durability have hindered the widespread application of PEDOT:PSS hydrogels in high-performance strain sensors. In this study, we develop a novel PEDOT:PSS-P(HEMA-co-AA) hydrogel that addresses common limitations in hydrogel applications, demonstrating remarkable stretchability, low hysteresis, and reliable conductivity. The hydrogel is synthesized using a semi-interpenetrating polymer network (SIPN) strategy, combining the linear conducting polymer PEDOT:PSS with a chemically cross-linked network based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and acrylic acid (AA). This hybrid structure notably contributes to the hydrogel's mechanical properties, achieving a stretchability of 195 %, while maintaining a rapid response time of 0.20 seconds and exceptional cyclic stability over 1000 cycles under 100 % strain. Moreover, the hydrogel demonstrates promising strain-sensing capabilities, positioning it as a strong candidate for future applications in wearable electronics and flexible sensors. The adoption of the SIPN strategy, along with the synergistic combination of PEDOT:PSS and P(HEMA-co-AA), paves a new pathway for enhancing the mechanical performance and sensing properties of hydrogels in strain-sensing technologies.

Biomass has been widely used due to its environmental friendliness, sustainability, and low toxicity. In this study, aminophosphorylated cellulose (PNC), a biomass flame retardant containing phosphorus and nitrogen, was synthesized by esterification from cellulose and introduced into polyurethane to prepare flame-retardant rigid polyurethane foam. The combustion properties of the PU and PU/PNC composites were studied using the limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL-94, and cone calorimeter (CCT) methods. The thermal degradation behavior of the PU and PU/PNC composites was analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and thermogravimetric infrared spectroscopy (TG-IR). The char layer after combustion was characterized using SEM, Raman, and XPS. The experimental results showed that the introduction of PNC significantly improved the flame-retardant effect and safety of PU/PNC composites. Adding 15 wt% PNC to PU resulted in a vertical burning grade of V-0 and a limiting oxygen index of 23.5%. Compared to the pure sample, the residual char content of PU/PNC15 in a nitrogen atmosphere increased by 181%, and the total heat release (THR) decreased by 56.3%. A Raman analysis of the char layer after CCT combustion revealed that the ID/IG ratio of PU/PNC15 decreased from 4.11 to 3.61, indicating that the flame retardant could increase the stability of the char layer. The TG-IR results showed that PNC diluted the concentration of O 2 and combustible gases by releasing inert gases such as CO 2 . These findings suggest that the developed PU/PNC composites have significant potential for real-world applications, particularly in industries requiring enhanced fire safety, such as construction, transportation, and electronics. The use of PNC provides an eco-friendly alternative to traditional flame retardants. This research paves the way for the development of safer, more sustainable, and environmentally friendly fire-resistant materials for a wide range of applications.

In the present work, self-adhesive and self-healing drug loaded poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate-acrylamide)/gelatin hydrogels with dual networks were synthesized by a facile one-pot method via crosslinking with dynamic hydrogen bonds and metal–ligand interactions. The prepared hydrogels displayed excellent cyclic adhesion performance on various surfaces due to the presence of Fe3+ ions and tannic acid (TA). Notably, due to the uniform compact pore size distribution, the prepared P(HEMA-AM)/Gel0.9 hydrogel possessed enhanced physicochemical properties, with a tensile strength of 305 kPa and an elongation at break of 589% in tensile experiments, and a compressive strength of 1.11 MPa under 70% strain. At the same time, the self-healing efficiency of the P(HEMA-AM)/Gel0.9 hydrogel can reach 95% after 24 h of repair. Furthermore, drug release experiments showed that the hydrogels had pH-responsive and sustained drug release properties, and the addition of gelatin in the composite hydrogel would accelerate drug release. Therefore, the P(HEMA-AM)/Gel hydrogel fabricated with a convenient and simple method possesses great potential for use in drug delivery systems.

It's a dream to make zeolites more stable so as to keep the activity and stability of the catalyst. Phosphorus modification is an effective method, however, the known post-modification predominantly presents as non-framework P, and the P-loss is a big trouble in application. We have discovered that in the reaction of PCl 3 or SiCl 4 + PCl 3 with NaY zeolite, a portion of P enters the framework of the zeolite, forming a PO 4 -AlO 4 structure. Further investigations revealed that P cannot be incorporated into the framework through P for Al isomorphous substitution, but rather through isomorphous substitution with Si(4Al). PCl 3 exhibits two effects in reaction: at lower quantities, it mainly undergoes isomorphous substitution with Si(4Al); at higher quantities, it leads to zeolite dealumination generating aluminum vacancies, which disrupt the zeolite framework or promotes Si for Al isomorphous substitution. After hydrothermal aging at 800 °C for 4 h, the stable presence of framework PO 4 -AlO 4 implies that the weakest site Si(4Al) becomes the more stable site P(4Al) in the Y zeolite framework. Compared with the JPY (prepared by impregnating (NH 4 ) 2 HPO 4 solution to high silica Y zeolite) sample, after 10 cycles of hydrothermal and water washing treatment, the P 2 O 5 loss rate of DPY (prepared by SiCl 4 + PCl 3 with NaY) zeolite ranged from 0.4 % to 3.5 %, significantly lower compared to the range of 18.7 % to 25.9 % observed in the JPY sample. This indicates that in DPY zeolite, the interaction between P and the zeolite is stronger and less prone to loss. Moreover, P is more uniformly distributed on the surface and bulk phase of DPY than JPY sample.

Solar catalysis efficiency is severely subject to the insufficient charge separation and inactive surface sites. Building piezoelectric field is established to be effective for anisotropic photocharge separation, and introducing defects can enrich surface reactive sites. However, the relationship between piezoelectric field and surface defect or reaction kinetics remains unclear. Herein, we report piezo-activating oxygen vacancy (OVs) to regulate quantum well effect and p-band center for exceptional photocatalysis in polar BiOIO 3 single crystals. The introduction of piezoelectric field enhances the local charge asymmetry distribution induced by OVs, facilitating electron donating from bulk to surface I atom. Remarkably, the external strain collaborates with OVs to largely reduces the work function of its surface, and induces a larger up-shift of p-band center of I 5p orbitals in BiOIO 3 . It indicates a reduction in the occupancy of antibonding-orbital, facilitating the stabilization of O 2p antibonding states and formation of I-O ads bonds for strong O 2 /H 2 O adsorption. Thus, oxygen-vacant BiOIO 3 achieves a dramatically improved piezo-photocatalytic degradation efficiency towards various pollutants, outperforming the related piezo-photocatalysts in previous reports. This work reveals the mechanism of piezoelectric field on surface vacancy and surface electronic structure at the atomic level.

This work explores the potential of porphyrin-grafted lignin nanoparticles (TCPP- g -AL-NPs) as a novel, effective, and biocompatible photosensitizer for antibacterial applications. Lignin acted as a sustainable framework, enhancing water-compatibility and single oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) generation of porphyrin. The mechanism study revealed the successful formation of a p-n heterojunction between lignin and porphyrin, which promoted the charge separation and the photocatalytic process of O 2 to 1 O 2 . In vitro antibacterial assessments demonstrated the efficacy of TCPP- g -AL-NPs in eradicating both Gram-negative ( E. coli ) and Gram-positive ( S. aureus ) bacteria under blue LED light irradiation. The observed lower antibacterial effectiveness against E. coli compared to S. aureus could be attributed to the thicker cell membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Additionally, TCPP- g -AL-NPs exhibited no cytotoxicity towards mouse fibroblast cells (L929). This study presents a straightforward and promising approach for developing lignin-based photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy.

The extensive utilization of rubber-related products can lead to a substantial release of p -phenylenediamine (PPD) antioxidants into the environment. In recent years, studies mainly focus on the pollution characteristics and health risks of PM 2.5 -bound PPDs. This study presents long-time scale data of PPDs and N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl- p -phenylenediamine quinone (6PPD-Q) in PM 2.5 and proposes the innovative use of PPDs as new markers for vehicular emissions in the Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) source apportionment . The results indicate that PPDs and 6PPD-Q were detectable in 100 % of the winter PM 2.5 samples, and the concentration ranges of PPDs and 6PPD-Q are 15.6–2.92 × 10 3 pg·m −3 and 3.90–27.4 pg·m −3 , respectively, in which 6PPD and DNPD are the main compounds. Moreover, a competitive formation mechanism between sulfate, nitrate, ammonium (SNA) and 6PPD-Q was observed. The source apportionment results show that the incorporation of PPDs in PMF reduced the contribution of traffic source to PM 2.5 from 13.5 % to 9.5 %. In the traffic source factor profiles, the load of IPPD, CPPD, DPPD , DNPD and 6PPD reaches 91.8 %, 91.6 %, 92.9 %, 80.6 % and 87.2 %, respectively. It`s amazing that traditional markers of traffic source, which often overlap with coal burning and industrial sources, over-estimated the contribution of vehicles by one third or more. The discovery of PPDs as specific markers for vehicular emissions holds significant utility, particularly considering the growing proportion of new energy vehicles in the future. The results may prove more accurate policy implications for pollution control . Synopsis PPDs are excellent indicators of vehicle emissions, and PMF without PPDs over-estimated the contribution of traffic source to PM 2.5 .
