A high removal rate (>99.7%) of combined arsenite (As(III)) and Cd (Cd(II)) in low concentration (1000 μg/L) from contaminated water was achieved by a calcined MgZnFe-CO 3 layered double hydroxide (CMZF) adsorbent. Batch control studies and a series of spectroscopy detection technologies were employed to investigate the removal mechanism and interactions between As(III) and Cd(II) on the interface of water/CMZF. Synergistic adsorption and photooxidation occurred based on the systematical kinetic and isotherm studies. The enhanced removal of As(III) was achieved by the photooxidation, formation of ternary As(III) Cd(II) surface complexes and enhanced hydrogen bond . Meanwhile, oxidative formed negative charged As(V) could reduce the electrostatic repulsion force between Cd(II) cations and play a role as anion bridging, consequently resulted in a stronger attraction between CMZF and Cd(II). Combined with the verdicts of relevant characterizations such as XRD, XPS and EPR, it was assumed that the deep co-removal mechanism could be attributed to the coupling of various processes including intercalation, complexation, photooxidation of As(III) and precipitation of CdCO 3 . Moreover, the successful removal of As(III) and Cd(II) from real water matrix qualified the CMZF a potentially attractive adsorbent for both As(III) and Cd(II) deep treatment in practical engineering.

The development of efficient gamma-ray shielding materials is crucial for addressing increasingly complex radiation environments. In this study, (BiO) 4 CO 3 (OH) 2 (BCH) and (BiO) 4 CO 3 (OH) 2 @Gd 2 O(CO 3 ) 2 ·H 2 O (BG) fillers were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. After being dispersed into epoxy resin by mechanical stirring, the mixtures were molded using a vacuum-assisted thermal curing process. Under 59.5 keV gamma irradiation, the linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) of BG/EP-50 reached 5.8 cm −1 , representing an 84% increase compared to BCH/EP-50 (3.15 cm −1 ) and about 33 times that of pure EP (0.17 cm −1 ). In addition, the temperature at 50% weight loss (T 50% ) of BG/EP-50 increased to 637.9〬C, which is 60.9% higher than that of the epoxy matrix, indicating improved thermal stability. The BG filler, constructed through a simple two-step hydrothermal route, demonstrated a synergistic effect between Bi and Gd components, which not only compensated for the limitations of Bi in the low-energy region but also enhanced the gamma shielding capability of the epoxy resin at higher energies. Compared to several shielding materials reported in recent years, BG/EP-50 shows superior performance and offers a promising strategy for lightweight and environmentally friendly polymer-based gamma shielding materials.

Pseudocapacitor electrode materials, such as transition metal oxides/sulfides, have been extensively investigated and shown to have fast energy storage properties, but their low rate performance and poor cycle stability are serious problems in practical applications. We present here a design for the architecture of these electrode materials with the aim of improving the rate performance and cycle stability of pseudocapacitors by using an interface ion-exchange method. Precursor materials obtained by a hydrothermal reaction were soaked in aqueous NaHS solution to synthesize the urchin-like core–shell structure of NiCo2(CO3)1.5(OH)3@NiCo2S4. Such core–shell nanostructure electrode materials can make full use of both components with synergistic effects. Excellent results were obtained with a capacitance of 956.4 F g−1 at a current density of 4 A g−1 in the three-electrode system and an actual energy density of 32.3 W h kg−1 and power density of 1835 W kg−1 in the asymmetrical supercapacitor.

Series of Co 3+ -rich spinel Co 3 O 4 catalysts were synthesized and evaluated by toluene catalytic oxidation. An outstanding activity was achieved over Co 3 O 4 -N utilizing Co(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O as precursor (T 50 = 211 °C, T 90 = 217 °C at conditions: 1000 ppm(v), WHSV = 60 000 mL g −1 h −1 ). Results of comparative characterizations demonstrated that such excellent performance was mainly attributed to large surface area, high reducibility at low temperature, high abundance of Co 3+ ions and structure defects, as well as highly active surface oxygen. The results of in situ DRIFTS revealed that in the air or N 2 atmosphere, the by-products were almost the same. The reaction pathway of toluene oxidation can be described as follow: transformation of toluene from benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde, benzoate, benzene, phenol, benzoquinone, maleic acid and to final products, which were fully confirmed by PTR-TOF-MS. Besides, ring opened by-products, such as acetone, acetic acid, acetaldehyde, etc. were also detected. In this work, the combination of in situ DRIFTS and PTR-TOF-MS provided a promising approach for further understanding of the mechanism of VOCs elimination.

The cycling stability of electrode materials is a key for Faraday supercapacitors (FSs), especially the structure-unstable Ni(OH) 2 . There exist various strategies for stabilizing the structure of Ni(OH) 2 such as cobalt ions doping and mechanical support from substrate. However, these strategies have their own disadvantages. On the other hand, the combination of two or more strategies has the serious issues in materials synthesis. In this work, a branched nanosheets-interlaced structure of Co 2+ /Co 3+ -doped Ni(OH) 2 is built by a method of precursor template, which effectively applies two strategies including ions doping and self-supportive structure. Due to the synergistic contribution of these two strategies, the cycling stability of as-prepared material is significantly enhanced. This material also presents excellent high-rate capacity, and the as-assembled asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) show both high energy and power densities. These results prove that the effective combination of ions doping and self-supportive structure strategies is a promising route for the preparation of Ni(OH) 2 -based electrode materials with high performance.

With the increasing complexity of radiation environments, the development of effective shielding materials against 222 Rn and gamma radiation is critical for ensuring human health and safety. This study utilized a two-step hydrothermal method to synthesize Gd₂O(CO₃)₂@bismuth-based metal–organic frameworks (Bi-MOFs)/graphene nanoplatelets (GBG) composite fillers, followed by melt blending and hot-press molding to develop GBG/polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) composites aimed at shielding against 222 Rn and gamma radiation. The successful synthesis and structural integrity of the composites were confirmed using various characterization techniques, including x-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. The experimental results indicate that the GBG composite filler exhibits superior enhancement in 222 Rn shielding capabilities, with the 222 Rn diffusion coefficient of GBG/PMMA-20 composites reduced to 1.41 × 10 −13 m 2 /s, a 98.6% decrease compared to pure PMMA (1.04 × 10 −11 m 2 /s). Furthermore, the GBG demonstrates outstanding improvements in gamma-ray shielding performance, with the mass attenuation coefficient of GBG/PMMA-50 reaching 2.70 cm 2 /g for 59.5 keV gamma rays, nearly 16 times higher than that of pure PMMA (0.16 cm 2 /g). Additionally, thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the introduction of GBG fillers significantly improves the thermal stability of the PMMA composites. This work could offer an innovative approach to the design of 222 Rn and gamma radiation shielding materials. Highlights Developed a novel composite for enhanced 222 Rn and gamma radiation shielding. Introduced Gd-based fillers to enhance gamma radiation attenuation in PMMA composites. Achieved superior thermal stability in PMMA composites compared to pure PMMA. Materials designed for application in high-radiation environments, including mining.

Low crystalline flowerlike cobalt silicate hydroxide (Co 3 (Si 2 O 5 ) 2 (OH) 2 , CoSiO x ) is synthesized by a one-pot hydrothermal approach. Abundant highly active Co OH + is preformed on the surface of CoSiO x , while the low crystallinity of CoSiO x leads to the formation of active 1 O 2 caused by the generation of oxygen vacancy in the valence change cycle between Co 2+ and Co 3+ . The optimal CoSiO x with a high specific surface area of 665.2 m 2 g −1 could expose surface Co OH + , thus rapidly activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and accelerate catalytic efficiencies. As a result, at least 11 kinds of organic pollutants could be degraded with 33–242% higher efficiencies than reported. In addition to the common SO 4 - and OH, large amounts of active 1 O 2 endow the CoSiO x /PMS system with superb catalytic performances in diverse conditions, suggesting the excellent adaptability for practical usage. This work provides a new protocol to advance the PMS activation process for high-performance cobalt based heterogeneous catalysts.

s The development of a new type of photocatalyst for multiple deep degradation of phenol in wastewater together with the elucidation of the method for this process are highly significant in the treatment of sewage. In this report, three-dimensional heterostructured La(OH)CO 3 /NiAl-LDHs composite catalysts were prepared by loading ultrathin NiAl-LDHs onto La(OH)CO 3 substrates using a hydrothermal synthesis method and an in-situ growth technique. Photocatalytic experimental studies showed that La(OH)CO 3 /NiAl-LDHs could remove up to 97 % of (degrade) phenol from water, which was 5.86 and nearly two-fold greater than pure NiAl-LDHs and La(OH)CO 3 . Even after 5 cycles, La(OH)CO 3 /NiAl-LDHs still sustains an excellent photocatalytic stability (93.6 % phenol degradation). Fabrication of ultrathin NiAl-LDHs greatly enhanced the surface expanse of the composites from 1.442 m 2 /g to 140.16 m 2 /g, exposing more active sites. According to the in-situ XPS analysis under irradiation and the capture of active species on La(OH)CO 3 /NiAl-LDHs, the electrons would be transferred from La(OH)CO 3 to ultrathin NiAl-LDHs. The S-type heterointerfaces formed at the La(OH)CO 3 substrate with ultrathin NiAl-LDHs nanosheets effectively inhibited carrier complexation and improved the catalytic performance. Meanwhile, the formation of oxygen vacancies between La(OH)CO 3 and NiAl-LDHs further enhanced the photocatalytic activity. The photocatalytic degradation mechanism of phenol showed that the main radicals of this catalytic reaction were •O 2 - and •OH. The three-dimensional stratified staging engaged with La(OH)CO 3 and the ultrathin NiAl-LDHs mixed nanosheet faces offered a new path to advance superlative catalysts to treat sewage.

The widely presented industrial light alkanes (LAs) have posed significant hazards to the environment and human health; however, the efficacious catalytic purification of LAs is still greatly suffered from their strong chemical stability and catalyst deactivation due to the presence of sulfur-containing impurity in practical exhausts. Herein, cobalt phosphate (Co 3 (PO 4 ) 2 )-modified Pt/CeO 2 catalysts (Pt/CeO 2 - x CP) with boosted activity and sulfur resistance were rationally engineered. Results revealed that Pt/CeO 2 -0.2CP shows the highest C 3 H 8 oxidation activity with 90 % of which oxidized at 260 °C and apparent activation energy ( E a ) of 84.39 kJ∙mol −1 , obviously lower than that of Pt/CeO 2 . Remarkably, the activity of Pt/CeO 2 -0.2CP is well-maintained in 24 h of successive operation with the co-existence of 250 H 2 S, while over 20 % of C 3 H 8 conversion reduction can be found over Pt/CeO 2 due to the deactivation of Pt 4+ active sites by surface sulfation. The Co 3 (PO 4 ) 2 -Pt interface promotes the electron transfer from Pt δ+ to phosphorus component and weakens the Pt-O-Ce bond, thereby generating more highly active Pt 4+ sites and oxygen vacancy, polarizing the electron cloud around the C-H bond and oxygen molecules and promoting C 3 H 8 oxidation. Meanwhile, the Co 3 (PO 4 ) 2 modification optimizes the surface acidity of Pt/CeO 2 -CP, effectively weakens the adsorption and oxidation of H 2 S, and maintains the formation and consumption of high active oxygen species, resulting in strong sulfur resistance. This work provides important insights for the rational design of efficient sulfur-tolerant catalysts towards LAs purification under harsh conditions.

Flower-like n -type CeO 2-δ is hybridized with p -type β-Bi 2 O 3 nanoparticles to design a novel β-Bi 2 O 3 /CeO 2-δ p - n heterojunction photocatalyst via a thermal treatment process of Bi/Ce(CO 3 )(OH) precursor. The synthesized β-Bi 2 O 3 /CeO 2-δ exhibits a remarkable enhancement in NO removal and significant suppression of toxic intermediates nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) under visible light irradiation. The superior photocatalytic activity of β-Bi 2 O 3 /CeO 2-δ for NO removal is mainly derived from the synergistic effects of the oxygen vacancies (OVs) and p-n heterojunction. The OVs not only enhance the visible light utilization and boost the separation of electron-hole pairs but also improve the adsorption and activation of NO and O 2 . Particularly, the p-n heterojunction is beneficial for the interfacial migration of photogenerated charge carriers. Electron spin resonance (ESR) and trapping experiment reveal that the synergistic effects of OVs and p-n heterojunction can induce the generation of more active species. The electrochemical measurements and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations in-depth confirm that both p-n heterojunction and OVs can accelerate the interfacial charge transfer, resulting in the deep oxidation of reactants. Therefore, the flower-like β-Bi 2 O 3 /CeO 2-δ p-n heterojunction photocatalyst exhibits an advanced photocatalytic activity for deep NO removal and a suppressed NO 2 generation. In addition, monitoring the reaction products by in situ Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR) further validates that the main products of nitrates are formed during the photocatalytic process. This work demonstrates a straightforward approach for construction of p-n heterojunction photocatalysts, which can enhance the effective photocatalytic activity and stability for NO removal.

Advanced oxidation processes are widely used to remove petroleum hydrocarbons from soil, but usually consume large quantities of ferrous and acidify the soil. This study tested an advanced oxidation approach based on percarbonate in laboratory experiments. It removed 88% petroleum hydrocarbons in soil with a pH increase from 8.2 to 10.2. ·OH and ·CO 3 - were the main reactive species, and degraded 41% and 37% PHCs from soil respectively. The o-dihydroxybenzene structure in catechin was found to reduce ferric to ferrous, and prolong the generation of ·OH from 120 s to over 1800 s. The petroleum hydrocarbons were degraded to intermediates including alkanes and olefins through hydrogen-abstraction by ·OH and ·CO 3 - , and by dimerization and β-scission of alkyl radicals. These intermediates were then oxidized to CO 2 and H 2 O by ·OH and ·CO 3 - . The main residual intermediates in the soil were low-molecular-weight n-alkanes and branched alkanes, and they were found to inhibit the growth of oats ( Avena sativa L. ) much less than the original petroleum hydrocarbons. These findings provide a fundamental basis for designing effective technologies which use percarbonate to remove organic pollutants .
