As nitrate contamination causes serious environmental problems, it is necessary to develop stable and efficient electrocatalysts for efficient electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (ENRR). Here, a nonprecious Co3O4/carbon felt (CF) electrode with a 3D structure was prepared by integrating electrodeposition with calcination methods. This 3D structured Co3O4/CF electrode exhibits a high-rate constant of 1.18 × 10–4 s–1 cm–2 for the ENRR, surpassing other Co3O4 electrodes in previous literature. Moreover, it also has an excellent stability with a decrease of 6.4% after 10 cycles. Density functional theory calculations, electron spin resonance analysis, and cyclic voltammetry were performed to study the mechanism of the ENRR on the Co3O4/CF electrode, proving that atomic H* (indirect pathway) plays a prominent role in NO3– reduction and clarifying the synergistic effect of Co(III) and Co(II) in the Co(II)–Co(III)–Co(II) redox cycle for the ENRR: Co(III) prefers the adsorption of NO3– and Co(II) favors the production of H*. Based on this synergy, a relatively large amounts of Co(II) on the surface of the Co3O4/CF electrode (1.3 Co(II)/Co(III) ratio) was maintained by controlling the temperature of calcination to 200 °C with a lower energy barrier of H* formation of 0.46 eV than other ratios, which is beneficial for forming H* and enhancing the performance of the ENRR. Thus, this study suggests that building 3D structure and optimizing Co(II)/Co(III) ratio are important for designing efficient Co3O4 electrocatalyst for ENRR.

In this study, a composite of Mo, Co co-doped NiS bulks grown on an Ni foam (Mo,Co-NiS/NF) was synthesized as a bi-functional electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) using a simple method. The existence of ZIF-67 and Mo ensure the even distribution of Co and Mo elements and the formation of N doped carbon layer in Mo, Co-NiS/NF. Mo, Co co-doping and NF support greatly improved the electrocatalytic performance of NiS bulks, because metal element doping could improve the intrinsic activity and electrical conductivity. Moreover, the Ni foam could act as a substrate to avoid aggregation and provide nickel source to form the bimetallic sulfide. The product Mo,Co-NiS/NF-400 showed outstanding electrochemical properties, with ultralow overpotential (92 mV vs. RHE) for HER and ultralow overpotential (117.2 mV vs. RHE) for OER to achieve 10 mA cm−2, as well as the ultralow cell voltage (1.36 V) to achieve 20 mA cm−2 for overall water splitting. This study provides an available method to promote the electrocatalytic activity of the traditional monometallic sulfides for overall water splitting.

Since catalytic chemoselective reduction of corresponding nitroarenes is a significant route to produce functionalized anilines, developing inexpensive and highly active catalyst is imperia. Herein, the Co-Ce-H 2 salen-hmta composite was first prepared by grinded completely the mixture of Co-H 2 Salen and hexamethylenetetramine (hmta) in 1:1 mol ratio in a mortar. The 3d–4f hetero-metal Co-Ce-H 2 salen coordination polymer acted as a support precursor and hmta provided the nitrogen source. Then, a target catalyst of Co/NC-CeO 2 -hmta were afforded by pyrolysis of Co-Ce-H 2 salen-hmta composite at 800°C in the presence of argon atmosphere. When the target catalyst of Co/NC-CeO 2 -hmta and reference catalysts were applied for the hydrogenation of nitroarenes under N 2 H 4 , the target catalyst of Co/NC-CeO 2 -hmta exhibited better performance than reference catalysts in terms of conversion, yield, selectivity, and recyclability. Spectral analysis suggested that the high catalytic performance of a target catalyst of Co/NC-CeO 2 -hmta were attributed to highly dispersed metallic Co 0 , rich oxygen vacancies, and nitrogen-doped carbon matrix.

Novel Pt/Co(OH)2-NiO/C catalysts based on carbon black were successfully synthesized using the hydrazine hydrate reduction method and galvanic replacement strategies. They were subsequently tested for their activity in the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol. It was observed that the peak current density of Pt/Co(OH)2-NiO/C (8.29 A mg-1Pt) was 22.4 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C-JM (0.37 A mg-1Pt). The electrocatalytic activities and durabilities of the synchronously synthesized Pt/Co(OH)2-NiO/C catalysts were significantly better than those of PtCo/C, PtNi/C, and PtCoNi/C-X (X = 200, 400, 600) catalysts synthesized by calcination in Ar at different temperatures. The reason is that the highly dispersed Pt helps to expose more active sites on the catalyst surface, and the addition of Co(OH)2 and NiO alters the electron density of Pt, which reduces the adsorption of intermediate CO, attenuates the toxic effect, and enables more efficient oxidation of methanol.

The sulfite (S(IV))-based advanced oxidation process (AOP) has emerged as an appealing alternative to the traditional persulfate-based AOP for the elimination of organic contaminants from diverse water matrices. In this work, a silica reinforced ZIF-67(Co) catalyst (CZS) is fabricated, characterized and tested in the activation of S(IV) for the sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation. The prepared CZS demonstrates superior stability and catalytic ability for the degradation of SMX compared to ZIF-67(Co) across a broad pH range. Unlike the conventional radical-dominated oxidation systems, the CZS/S(IV) system for SMX degradation operates through a non-radical mechanism, featuring high-valent Co(IV) and singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) as the predominated reactive species. The hydroxylated Co species exposed on the CZS surface is identified as the pivotal active site, realizing the S(IV) activation through a complexation-electron transfer process, resulting in the production of various reactive intermediates. Co(II) undergoes the conversion to Co(IV) by generated HSO 5 − , and 1 O 2 predominantly originates from the intermediate SO 4 •− . Profiting from the highly selective oxidation capacities of Co(IV) and 1 O 2 , the established oxidative system demonstrates a remarkable interference resistance and exhibits an exceptional decontamination performance under real-world water conditions. In short, this work provides a sustainable S(IV)-based oxidation strategy for environmental remediation via non-radical mechanism.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derived Co-based catalysts have received extensive attention in the chemoselective hydrogenation of nitroarenes, while they usually require a lot of solvent during the synthesis and identification of active species. This study explores a solid-phase synthesis strategy to obtain MOF precursors without using any solvent, which is then foamed and pyrolyzed to synthesize the Co@NC-X catalyst. It was found that a nitrogen-doped graphene shell can well encapsulate the Co nanoparticles. The resulting catalyst, which was pyrolyzed at 800°C, exhibited ~100% conversion for the hydrogenation of 3-nitrostyrene and >99% selectivity to 3-vinylaniline. This catalyst also showed excellent stability and good substrate universality for the hydrogenation of extensive substituted nitroarenes. Various characterizations revealed a positive relationship between the catalytic performance and the content of Co—N species tuned by pyrolysis temperature. This work provides a novel and green strategy to design an efficient Co-based catalyst for chemoselective hydrogenation.

The successful commercialization of concentrated solar power (CSP) plants necessitates the development of efficient energy storage systems to ensure the on-demand power generation during solar transients. In recent years, the redox cycling of doped CaMnO3−δ has emerged as a promising approach for thermochemical energy storage (TCES) in CSP applications. This study aims to enhance the thermochemical energy storage capability of CaMnO3−δ by co-doping with Sr and Co at the A- and B-sites, respectively, forming (SrxCa1–x)(CoxMn1–x)O3–δ. Two doping levels (x = 0.05 and 0.10) were investigated. XRD and SEM–EDS analyses confirmed that Sr and Co were homogeneously incorporated into the perovskite lattice, yielding porous microstructures in both compositions. Notably, evaluation of the thermochemical energy storage (TCES) densities of these codoped perovskites under diverse thermal energy storage conditions revealed that although the two materials exhibited different heat storage processes, comparable TCES densities were ultimately achieved. In particular, under favorable thermochemical energy storage conditions (1100 °C, pO2 = 10–5 atm), the thermochemical energy storage densities of Sr0.05Ca0.95Co0.05Mn0.95O3–δ and Sr0.10Ca0.90Co0.10Mn0.90O3–δ achieved 459 kJ/kgABO3 and 470 kJ/kgABO3, respectively. However, in the subsequent redox cycle tests, Sr0.10Ca0.90Co0.10Mn0.90O3–δ demonstrated a stronger reoxidation capability compared to Sr0.05Ca0.95Co0.05Mn0.95O3–δ. Compared to the undoped material, both co-doped samples exhibited significant improvements in the TCES density and thermal stability. Moreover, the isothermal redox reaction rate measurements and the analysis revealed the rapid redox reaction rate in both materials, providing valuable insights for the development of advanced perovskite-based thermochemical energy storage systems.

In this study, five salts containing the same anion fac-[FeII(CO)3I3]− were prepared through the reaction of cis-[Fe(CO)4I2] with organic amines whose protonated forms, i.e., (EtNH3+), (PrNH3+), (BuNH3+), (PentNH3+), and (Et2NH2+), become the cations of the salts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. These aminium salts, which are soluble in water and polar organic solvents such as DMSO and methanol, were characterized by various techniques including X-ray single-crystal diffraction. These salts underwent solvolysis in both water and DMSO to release CO, following first-order kinetics. In DMSO, the decomposition of these salts proceeded via a significantly simpler mechanism without the involvement of radicals than that in water, and the CO-release rate of these salts was almost linearly related to the hydrophobicity (the logarithm of the oil/water partition coefficient P) of the amines. The CO-release rate was substantially faster in water and in addition to undergoing solvolysis, the anions generated an iodine radical, I˙. Due to the complicated decomposition of these salts in water, the CO-release proceeded in a two-stage manner. The iodine radical was found to be at least partly responsible for the cytotoxicity of these salts in water; this indicates that the proposed anion has potential for applications in cancer therapy.

Platinum-based electrocatalysts represent the most promising candidates for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) in direct methanol fuel cells. However, the wide commercialization of platinum-based electrocatalysts faces significant challenges, including high material costs, insufficient catalytic activity, limited operational durability, and susceptibility to CO poisoning. To overcome these issues, a new Au-doped Pt-Co aerogel (AG) is fabricated by the facile one-pot aqueous-solution heteroatom doping method. This catalyst demonstrates good electrocatalytic performance for MOR, combining both high activity and remarkable stability. The Au 1 -Pt 67 Co 33 AG with optimized Au doping amount exhibits outstanding mass activity, which is 1.7 times that of its undoped Pt 67 Co 33 AG counterpart and 4.6 times that of the commercial Pt/C catalyst. Furthermore, the Au 1 -Pt 67 Co 33 AG demonstrates significantly enhanced long-term stability under continuous operation. Density functional theory calculations indicate that Au doping reduces the energy barriers for methanol dehydrogenation and lowers the total energy barriers for the *CO oxidation steps, facilitating the rapid dehydrogenation of CH n OH and faster conversion of *CO, thereby significantly enhancing the electrocatalytic activity and stability of the Au 1 -Pt 67 Co 33 AG toward MOR.

Functionalized magnetic microspheres were prepared by anchoring cross-linked core–shell poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (P(NIPAM-co-AA)) nanoparticles onto silica-coated magnetic microspheres (Fe3O4@SiO2). First, the smaller polystyrene/P(NIPAM-co-AA) core–shell nanoparticles were synthesized through seed emulsion polymerization and adhered to the surface of amino-modified Fe3O4@SiO2 micorspheres, which were made using the modified Stöber method through electrostatic interaction under appropriate preparation conditions. An amidation reaction between the carboxylic and amino groups on the respective surfaces was then catalyzed. Finally, the novel architecture magnetic microspheres with multiresponsive functionalities were obtained, and their polymerization conditions, environmental sensitivity, and magnetic properties were discussed and optimized. The superparamagnetism and temperature/pH dual responsivity and excellent dispersibility of the P(NIPAM-co-AA) functionalized magnetic microspheres provide them with high potential to be used in the fields of controlled drug delivery, bioseparation, and catalysis.

A series of Sm-Mn oxides (SmMnO 3 , SmMn 2 O 5 and Sm 0.9 Ag 0.1 Mn 2 O 5 ) of perovskite-type and mullite crystal phases were synthesized for the catalytic oxidation of CO and C 3 H 8 . The Sm 0.9 Ag 0.1 Mn 2 O 5 composition showed the highest catalytic activity among the series of solids, especially for the CO oxidation to CO 2 with T 50 and T 90 values of 60 and 95 °C, respectively. The catalysts were characterized by powder XRD, Raman, BET, XPS, and H 2 -TPR. It was found that the catalytic performance of the solids was correlated well with their redox properties. Synergetic effects between Ag-related species and the mullite phase resulted in more active surface oxygen species and remarkably lowered the reduction temperature of the Sm 0.9 Ag 0.1 Mn 2 O 5 solid.
