Photocatalytic ammonia synthesis is of great importance but remains very challenging in photocatalysis. Here, we fabricated a photocatalytic reaction system for the efficiently photocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia under UV irradiation using PdSn/NiO/NaTaO 3 :La as a photocatalyst in the presence of formic acid. Several important factors of the photocatalytic performance were investigated, including initial concentration of the nitrate solution, initial pH value and cocatalyst loadings. Nitrate conversion reaches 100% and ammonia selectivity is 72% over the optimum photocatalyst with 5% bimetallic PdSn alloy and 0.2% NiO loadings. The outstanding performance of photocatalyst can be ascribed to both the strong adsorption of nitrite on NiO and the efficient separation of electron-hole pairs by PdSn bimetallic alloy. Besides as the hole scavenger, formic acid also provides not only carboxyl anion radicals for nitrate reduction but also the in-situ buffer effect on ammonia formation. These results give inspiration for designing the reactive system with efficient photocatalytic ammonia synthesis.

As the key heat storage and transfer medium in concentrated solar power (CSP) systems, molten salts’ thermophysical properties, such as thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, and thermal stability, critically determine the systems energy conversion efficiency and economic viability. However, conventional molten salts suffer from low thermal conductivity and limited energy storage density, restricting their application in high-temperature thermal energy storage. Recent advances show that doping with nanoparticles, such as Al 2 O 3 , CuO, and SiO 2 , can significantly improve these properties. Nevertheless, systematic studies on quaternary molten salt systems remain scarce. In this work, we focus on the quaternary eutectic salt H15 (15 wt% Ca(NO 3 ) 2 –5.95 wt% NaNO 3 –45.05 wt% KNO 3 –34 wt% NaNO 2 ), which demonstrates a high decomposition temperature of 597.4 °C alongside a relatively low melting point of 84.4 °C and high thermal energy storage density of 1052.41 kJ/kg. To overcome its thermal performance limitations, Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles (0.1 wt% to 3 wt%) were introduced to form a nanocomposite molten salt. The influence of varying nanoparticle loadings was assessed via DSC, HotDisk, SEM, and XRD to examine corresponding changes in phase transition behavior, thermal conductivity, viscosity, and material microstructure. This study provides theoretical and experimental support for developing high-performance, wide temperature-range thermal energy storage materials for advanced CSP systems.

All-solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs) have attracted extensive attention because of their high energy density and good safety performance. But the ionic conductivity at low temperature and dendritic growth hinder their further development. In this work, a flexible all solid-state electrolyte consisted with Ce(NO 3 ) 3 , lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide (LiFSI), and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is synthesized. Ce(NO 3 ) 3 as an effective additive can enhance the ionic conductivity of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) by regulating Li + transporting and stabilizing the interface between lithium metal anode and electrolyte by forming a stable and uniform solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on lithium metal anode surface. The as-prepared electrolyte exhibits a good ionic conductivity of 1.6 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at 60 °C and a wide electrochemical window of 4.4 V . The Li//Li symmetric cell with PEO + LiFSI+1%Ce(NO 3 ) 3 electrolyte displays a long cycling lifespan of over 1100 h at 0.1 mA cm −2 at 60 °C. Moreover, the corresponded LiFePO 4 (LFP)//Li cell exhibits a long cycling lifespan of 300 cycles and excellent rate capability. This work proposes an effective additive to improve ionic conductivity and stabilize the Li metal/electrolyte interface.

The performance of energetic hydrogels—a promising class of water-resistant explosives—is often related to the internal microstructure and chemical reactivity. This study introduces a modification strategy employing copper (II) nitrate trihydrate (Cu(NO 3 ) 2 ·3H 2 O) to simultaneously tailor the hydrogel’s microstructure and enhance its chemical reactivity. The additive functions dually: by acidifying the system, it accelerates cross-linking kinetics and refines sensitized microbubbles; concurrently, it lowers the thermal decomposition barrier of the gel matrix. At an optimal content of 0.75 wt%, the proportion of effective microbubbles (diameter ≤ 100 µm) is maximized to 42.2 %, establishing a dense hotspot network. This microstructural and chemical optimization synergistically boosts detonation performance, increasing velocity by 15.34 % to 4610 m·s⁻¹ and reducing the minimum initiation charge from 50 g to 30 g. Thermal analysis confirms a reduced apparent activation energy and reveals a possible low-temperature exothermic pathway, providing direct evidence for the enhanced reactivity. Crucially, this enhancement does not compromise handling safety, as the initial decomposition temperature remains above 244 °C for all formulations. This work establishes additive-mediated modification as an effective route to engineer energetic materials by concurrently optimizing the microstructure and accelerating the reaction kinetics.

Environmental context Acetate esters, emitted into the atmosphere from both natural and anthropogenic sources, can participate in photochemical processes leading to the formation of secondary organic aerosols. We report a study on the kinetics and mechanisms of the reaction of two acetate esters with O3, OH, NO3, and Cl radicals. The results help our understanding of the chemical behaviour of this important class of compounds in the atmosphere. The photodegradation reactions of isopropenyl acetate (IPA) and 2-methyl-2-propenyl acetate (MPA) initiated by O3, OH, Cl and NO3 radicals have been investigated in a 100 L Teflon reactor at 293 ± 3 K, by using gas chromatography with flame-ionisation detection as well as thermal desorption–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry to monitor the reactants and the products. The rate constants for the reactions of IPA and MPA with the four atmospheric oxidants were determined by using either absolute or relative rate methods. The following rate constants (in units of cm3 molecule−1 s−1) were obtained: k(O3 + IPA) = (0.37 ± 0.06) × 10−18, k(OH + IPA) = (6.44 ± 0.74) × 10−11, k(Cl+ IPA) = (4.33 ± 0.52) × 10−10, k(NO3 + IPA) = (1.62 ± 0.22) × 10−14, k(O3 + MPA) = (2.76 ± 0.40) × 10−18, k(OH + MPA) = (7.41 ± 0.92) × 10−11, k(Cl + MPA) = (3.33 ± 0.39) × 10−10, k(NO3 + MPA) = (1.34 ± 0.23) × 10−14. With the exception of the kinetic study of the reactions of O3 and OH with IPA and the mechanistic study of the reaction of IPA with O3, the current research reports the first kinetic and mechanistic investigation for these reactions at atmospheric pressure. Acetic anhydride and 1-acetoxyacetone are the main products of the reactions of IPA and MPA, respectively. On the basis of the products and estimated tropospheric lifetimes of the two esters, reaction mechanisms are proposed and the atmospheric implications are discussed.

Synroc is recognized as the second generation waste form for the immobilization of high-level radioactive waste (HLW). Zirconolite-rich (CaZrTi 2 O 7 ) Synroc minerals were attempted by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) using Fe 2 O 3 , CrO 3 , Ca(NO 3 ) 2 as the oxidants and Ti as the reductant . All designed reactions were ignited and sustained using Ca(NO 3 ) 2 as the oxidant, and zirconolite-rich ceramic matrices were successfully prepared with pyrochlore (Ca 2 Ti 2 O 6 ), perovskite (CaTiO 3 ) and rutile (TiO 2 ) as the minor phases. The sample CN-4, which was designed using Ca(NO 3 ) 2 as the oxidant with TiO 2 /Ti ratio of 7:9, was readily solidified with density of 4.62 g/cm 3 and Vickers hardness of 1052 HV.

CO 2 capture is an important technology to achieve carbon emission reduction. The key is reducing the energy consumption of the CO 2 capture process. Ionic liquids (ILs) blended with organic amines can be used as an efficient CO 2 absorbent allowing for low regeneration energy consumption. This work proposes the use of N-butylpyridinium nitrate ([Bpy][NO 3 ]) in combination with organic solvents for CO 2 capture. The effects of ILs concentration, reboiler load and flue gas concentration on regeneration energy consumption were studied on a continuous pilot unit for absorption-desorption process. The results showed that the CO 2 absorption capacity of 30 wt% MEA + 10 wt% [Bpy][NO 3 ] was 0.1308 g CO 2 /g solvent, higher than monoethanolamine/water, and the CO 2 absorption capacity remained at 74.3% after the five cycles. At 40 °C, the viscosity of IL-amine blending solvents before and after absorption was 2.01 and 3.534 mPa·s, respectively, significantly lower than that of the conventional non-aqueous phase absorbent. The continuous absorption-desorption results showed that the capture rate of IL blending reached more than 95%. The regeneration energy consumption is 34.2% lower than the 30 wt% MEA.

Oxide ceramic matrix composites (OCMC) have good high-temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, and mechanical properties. However, the microwave absorbing properties of OCMC areinsufficient due to the low dielectric and low loss characteristics of oxide ceramics, so it is urgent to develop a kind of the oxide ceramic matrix with adjustable microstructure and electromagnetic properties. PDC-SiOC ceramics are the optimal oxide ceramics whose component and microstructure can be adjusted by rare earth nitrate modified polysiloxane precursor. For Sc(NO 3 ) 3 modified PDC-SiOC ceramics, rare earth metals not only can react with siloxy groups to form silicates at high temperatures but also can catalyze the formation of SiCnws. Herein, rare earth nitrate modified polysiloxane precursor was pyrolyzed at 900°C, and then annealing at high temperature to form silicate and SiCnws. After annealing at 1400°C, a large amount SiCnws was in situ formed conductive network structure in SiOC ceramic, so the SiOC ceramic with SiCnws had great electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing properties, the maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EAB max ) and the minimum reflection coefficient (RC min ) at the thickness of 2.75 mm reach 4.0 GHz and −42.3 dB in X -band, respectively. By the double-layer impedance matching design, the EAB can be effectively improved, which provide a good way for the design and fabrication of OCMC with advanced (EMW) absorbing properties.

Aiming at the challenges such as wide band gap, limited surface reactivity, and sluggish reaction kinetics of the promising Aurivillius compound Bi 2 O 2 (OH)NO 3 (BON). Our endeavors culminated in the successful creation of layered BON nanoplates featuring surface oxygen vacancies and Pd nanoparticles deposition by UV light irradiation, elegantly designated as Pd-OVs BON. This accomplishment was realized through the adept application of a two-step photoreduction technique, skillfully executed in both pristine water and ethanol-water environments. We then evaluated the effectiveness of Pd-OVs BON in degrading a series of tetracycline antibiotics. Our evaluation involved a comprehensive approach, encompassing systematic morphology characterization and photoelectrochemical analysis. Additionally, we investigated how surface oxygen vacancies and the plasma effects of Pd impact the separation and transport of photogenerated carriers, as well as the photocatalytic performance. The outcomes of this study indicate that Pd-OVs BON holds substantial potential for the photodegradation of antibiotics. Its layered nanoplates structure enhances the specific active surface area of BON, while the surface oxygen vacancies generated through photoreduction create more active sites for catalyzing antibiotic degradation reactions. Furthermore, the introduction of Pd nanoparticles onto the OVs-BON surface during the secondary photoreduction process induces localized surface plasmon resonance. This phenomenon broadens the photocatalyst's responsiveness to a wider range of light wavelengths, enabling efficient utilization of visible light and facilitating the effective decomposition of antibiotic molecules.

Solar-driven photodegradation technology is a highly promising route for resolving environmental pollutants. However, the performance of photocatalysts is usually limited by the poor light harvesting, the high recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, and the insufficient surface active sites. In this work, thin Bi 2 O 2 (OH)(NO 3 ) nanosheets co-modified with oxygen vacancies and bromine-grafting (BNSBr-OV) presented a superb rhodamine B photodegradation efficiency of 98.5 % within 4 h under visible light (λ＞420 nm), which was 8.2 times higher than that of pristine Bi 2 O 2 (OH)(NO 3 ). Besides, BNSBr-OV exhibited universal photocatalytic abilities of degrading various antibiotics, including tetracycline hydrochloride, ofloxacin and sodium sulfacetamide. The introduction of oxygen-vacancy and grafted bromine dual active sites can not only improve the light harvesting ability of the photocatalyst, but also promote the migration efficiency of photogenerated carriers, which boosts its photocatalysis performance. This study provides a platform for understanding the dual active sites modified single-crystal material, which potentially offers new design of environmental catalysts for multiple applications.

The first alkaline earth metal borate-nitrate, namely Ba2B5O8(OH)2(NO3)·3H2O (BBNOH), has been synthesized by the hydrothermal method. BBNOH crystallizes in the space group of P21/c and shows two-dimensional (2D) 2∞[B5O8(OH)2]3− borate anion layers, and the hydrated barium cations and the [NO3]− anions are located between the layers. The process of optimizing the structure of Ba2B5O8(OH)2OH to BBNOH has been discussed. The first principles calculation has been used to calculate the birefringence of Ba2B5O8(OH)2(NO3)·3H2O, and the value is 0.033@1064 nm, which is mainly originated from the borate anions and the π conjugated [NO3]− anions.
