A novel ellipsoidal (t-s) BiVO 4 modified g-C 3 N 4 composite photocatalyst was fabricated via a facile two-step synthesis strategy in the assistance of ultrasonic and magnetic stirring method. In this typical process, (t-s) BiVO 4 was prepared by using a modified polyol method, and the coupling process of (t-s) BiVO 4 with g-C 3 N 4 was executed after ultrasonic treatment in the ethanol system. The photocatalytic activity of the as-obtained composites was evaluated by monitoring the degradation process of Rhodamine B (RhB) under the simulated sunlight irradiation. The results revealed that the highest degradation efficiency can reach up to 97.7% in 120 min when the mass ratio of (t-s) BiVO 4 and g-C 3 N 4 came to be 1:16. And the optimum degradation rate was 0.03088 min −1 , which was 4.6 and 47.5 times faster than that of the bare g-C 3 N 4 and (t-s) BiVO 4 , respectively. The trapping experiments were conducted to verify that h + and secondary·O 2 - radicals were the main active species in the photocatalytic process. The enhanced photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the synergetic effect of the heterojunction formed at the interface of g-C 3 N 4 and (t-s) BiVO 4 , which resulted in the enlarged optical absorption range and improved separation ability of photo-induced carriers.

The work develops a novel method for the detection of bisphenol A (BPA) based on glutathione (GSH)-protected silver sulphide quantum dots (Ag 2 S QDs), which was simple, fast, non-toxic, sensitive and selective. Ag 2 S QDs were synthesised with a sulphur–hydrazine hydrate complex as the S 2− source and GSH as the stabiliser. Ag 2 S QDs, near-infrared QDs, offered the advantages over lower background fluorescence and lower signal loss. The fluorescence peak of Ag 2 S QDs at 650 nm was quenched significantly in the presence of BPA. Good linear correlations were obtained over the concentration range from 0 to 60 μM of BPA under optimised conditions. The developed selective and sensitive method presaged more opportunities for the application in environmental samples.

Bisphenol S (BPS) has attracted much attention as an emerging hazardous contaminant due to its endocrine disruption and oncogenic effects. Although white-rot fungi have remarkable bioremediation capabilities for some bisphenols, little is known about their performance in BPS degradation. In this study, the newly discovered Phlebia acerina S-LWZ20190614-6 exhibited high capacity to degrade BPS. To further explore the mechanism of BPS degradation by P. acerina S-LWZ20190614-6, the whole-genome background and degradation pathways were investigated. Five low-toxicity metabolites were detected during the BPS biodegradation process, and a strong correlation was found between this biodegradation process and the interactions between BPS and ligninolytic enzymes. Moreover, transcriptomic analysis revealed that genes related to DNA replication and repair, ABC transporters, and fatty acid metabolism were involved in this BPS degradation process. Overall, this study provides insights into the achievement of BPS biodegradation by white-rot fungi.

Constructing the coordination environment of single-atom catalysts (SACs) can be an attractive technical strategy to regulate the generation of reactive oxygen species for Fenton-like reactions. Herein, we have constructed an asymmetric coordination of Fe single-atom catalyst (Fe SA -NS-PCNS) with abundant N-Fe-S bridge (Fe SA -N 3 S 1 ) for robust Fenton-like reactions. 82.5 % of singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) selectivity and high turnover frequency of bisphenol A degradation (0.568 min −1 ) were achieved at mild conditions. Experimental works and theoretical analyses illustrated that S doping breaks the inert environment of the original N-Fe-N symmetric coordination equilibrium and modulates the electron density of the atomic Fe center, which is beneficial for boosting PMS adsorption and reducing the energy barriers of vital *OH and *O intermediates. The coupling between the Fe SA -N 3 S 1 interface and peroxymonosulfate molecule boosts in-situ electron transfer through the N-Fe-S bridge, which induces more electron flow from the low valence Fe to OH* on the surface of Fe-*O-H, forming a high yield of 1 O 2 . Moreover, we designed the Fenton-like reactions by Fe SA -NS-PCNS membrane reactor for an efficient contaminant removal rate of over 90 % even after 11 cycles. This work provides a novel perspective on developing SACs with asymmetric coordination to regulate reactive oxygen species for the treatment of organic contaminants in water bodies.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have attracted significant attention due to their high theoretical energy density, low cost and environmental friendliness, which are considered one of the most promising candidates for next-generation energy storage devices. However, the sluggish kinetics associated with sulfur oxidation–reduction reactions and the detrimental shuttle effect caused by lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) significantly impacts the electrochemical performance of Li-S batteries. In this work, Co single-atom catalyst (Co SAC -NC) on an ordered macro-microporous structure are designed, and the catalyst are coated onto 2325 separator. The ordered micro-microporous structure of Co SAC -NC enhances the interaction with LiPSs and provide reservoir for LiPSs. Secondly, the highly exposed Co-N x configuration active sites can effectively anchor LiPSs and promotes their rapid conversion. This work significantly improves the utilization efficiency of the cathode, resulting in an exceptionally low-capacity decay rate of just 0.043 % per cycle over 1000 cycles at 1 C.

Plastics have become an integral part of modern society due to their excellent mechanical properties, light weight, chemical stability and low cost. However, their continuous production and use worldwide have resulted in a major environmental problem. In this context, the green degradation and upcycling of waste plastics using electrochemical oxidation present a promising solution. To make this solution practical, the development of cost-effective catalysts optimized for this reaction is essential. In this study, we propose a new catalyst for the electrocatalytic reforming of ethylene glycol (EG) derived from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to formic acid. The catalyst comprises layered Ni–Co9S8 nanosheet arrays (NSAs) grown on nickel foam (NF) via the hydrothermal method. Under EG oxidation reaction (EGOR) conditions, the Ni–Co9S8 NSAs/NF catalyst achieves Faraday efficiencies (FEs) of up to 92%. Additionally, the direct use of commercial PET plastic powder hydrolysate still enables formate FEs to exceed 90%. These outstanding results are rationalized using density functional theory (DFT) calculations providing insights into the role of the different elements in the EGOR. Overall, this study demonstrates both a synthetic strategy for transition metal sulfides and an efficient and sustainable strategy for the upgraded recycling of PET plastics.

As an important class of detoxifying enzymes , glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are pivotal in decreasing insecticide toxicity to insects. Periplaneta americana GSTd1 (PaGSTd1) has been verified as a key enzyme in detoxifying pyrethroid insecticides, but its detoxification capability against a broader spectrum of insecticides has never been investigated. It is revealed that PaGSTd1 expression showed a rapid and significant increase upon exposure to various insecticides (organophosphates, neonicotinoids , and fipronil). Subsequent in vitro metabolic assays indicated that organophosphates , particularly chlorpyrifos-methyl, can be effectively metabolized by PaGSTd1. Further knockdown of PaGSTd1 via RNA interference significantly heightened the susceptibility of P. americana to chlorpyrifos-methyl, underscoring the enzyme's key role in detoxifying chlorpyrifos-methyl. Additionally, this study confirmed that PaGSTd1 cannot mitigate insecticide toxicity through countering oxidative stress . Collectively, these findings elucidate the involvement of PaGSTd1 in the detoxification processes for organophosphates, offering a comprehensive insight into the metabolic mechanisms mediated by GSTs in P. americana . This research provides a foundational understanding for managing GSTs-mediated metabolic resistance in this species, which is crucial for effective pest control strategies.

Construction of S-scheme heterojunction with 2D/2D structure can accelerate the carrier separation and migration owing to the induced built-in electric field, short carrier migration distance and large contact area. Herein, we develop a simple one-step solvent thermal method for the synthesis of novel Bi 2 O 3 -BiOI 2D/2D S-scheme heterojunction with intimate interfacial contact. As expected, the as-prepared Bi 2 O 3 -BiOI heterojunction presents higher visible-light driven photodegradation of tetracycline (TC), as well as rhodamine B (RhB), methyl orange (MO), and tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl), than the counterparts. Besides, the potential degradation pathways of TC are elucidated and the toxicities of intermediates are assessed in detail. Significantly, the mechanism insight into S-scheme charge transfer mechanism in Bi 2 O 3 -BiOI 2D/2D heterojunction is uncovered in depth by density functional theory calculations and a series of experimental evidences. This work affords a useful inspiration on constructing high-performance BiOI-based photocatalysts via engineering of heterojunction and morphology for organic hazards removal.

Nanozymes, the nanomaterials with enzyme-like characteristics which exhibit lower cost, easier synthesis and functionalization, better stability compared with natural enzymes, have been widely developed for biosensing, disease therapy and environmental governance. However, the lack of catalytic efficiency of nanozymes compared to natural enzymes makes it difficult to completely replace natural enzymes to achieve higher sensitivity and lower detection limit in biosensing. Herein, magnetism-controlled technology was used to form nanozyme array consisted of stacked Fe3O4/Au NPs at the bottom of the microchannel as a spatially confined microreactor for the catalytic reaction. By enhancing the mass transfer process of substrate towards nanozyme which was mediated by the corresponding V-structure, a higher local concentration of substrate and more efficient utilization of active sites of nanozyme were obtained to increase the catalytic efficiency (kcat/KM) of the nanozyme array consisted of the Fe3O4/Au NPs by 95.2%, which was two orders of magnitude than that of the open reactor. Based on this, a colorimetric method on an integrated microfluidic platform was proposed for sensitive biosensing of Salmonella typhimurium. The entire detection could be completed within 30 minutes, yielding a linear range from 102 to 107 CFU/mL and a detection limit as low as 5.6 CFU/mL.

In addition to the intrinsic driving force of photocatalysis, the external thermal field from the photothermal effect can provide additional energy to the photo-catalytic system to improve the photo-catalytic hydrogen-evolution (PHE) efficiency. Herein, based on the results of density functional theory, we designed and constructed a hollow core–shell FeNi 2 S 4 @Mn 0.3 Cd 0.7 S (NFS@MCS) S-scheme heterojunction with a photothermal effect, thereby realising a significant enhancement of the PHE performance due to the thermal effect, S-scheme heterojunction and hollow core–shell morphology. As a light collector and heat source, the hollow NFS could absorb and convert photons into heat, resulting in the increased local temperature of photocatalyst particles. Moreover, the S-scheme charge path at the interface not only improved the carrier separation efficiency but also retained a higher redox potential. All these are favourable to increase the PHE activity. The PHE tests show that 0.5 %-NFS@MCS exhibits the highest PHE rate of 17.11 mmol·g −1 ·h −1 , 7.7 times that of MCS. Moreover, through a combination of theoretical calculation and experimental evidence, the PHE mechanism of the NFS@MCS system is discussed and clarified in-depth.

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) interfere with the normal secretion, transport and metabolism of human hormones, thus affecting neurological, reproductive and immune functions. Photocatalysis is regarded as a facile organic degradation technique. The construction of heterojunctions can modulate the reactive oxygen species and enhance the photocatalytic performance of semiconductors. However, poor contact interfaces still severely limit carrier separation and transfer. Herein, we have doped Co to modulate the band structure of Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 while facilitating the in situ growth of BiOI on its surface via shared Bi atoms. This approach led to the development of a 2D/2D Co-Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 /BiOI (Co-BOC/BiOI) S-scheme heterojunction characterized by atomically close contact interfaces. Furthermore, the photo-electrochemical characterization results indicate that the light adsorption capacity, carrier separation and transport efficiency of the optimized Co-BOC/BiOI-3 are greatly improved. This system demonstrates almost 100% removal rate for three typical EDCs within 60 min. The degradation kinetic constants show an improvement by an order of magnitude compared to single BiOI and Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 . More importantly, O 2 •﹣ , which is produced from O 2 reduction on high negative conduction band, can be subsequently oxidized into 1 O 2 by photogenerated hole. Electron paramagnetic resonance and quenching experiments indicate that the organics degradation process is dominated by 1 O 2 . This work offers new insights into the construction of high-quality S-scheme heterojunction interfaces for modulation of reactive oxygen species.

Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) has been an outstanding technique with a bright prospect, which can meet the growing global demand for propylene. However, undesired side reactions result in the deactivation of the Pt-based catalysts, which contribute to the insufficient lifetime of the catalysts. Herein, we describe a novel catalyst by encapsulating bimetallic CoCu-modified Pt species in S-1 zeolite for efficient dehydrogenation of propane, which synergizes the confinement of zeolites and the geometric and electronic effects on Pt species for enhancing the catalyst stability. The introduction of bimetallic additives efficiently promotes the dispersion of platinum and the electron transfer between Pt species and the additives, which greatly prolongs the lifetime of the catalysts. Particularly, no obvious deactivation is observed on 0.2Pt0.3Co0.5CuK@S-1 after 93 h on stream with a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 5.4 h −1 , revealing an ultralow deactivation constant of 0.0011 h −1 (t = 909 h). The formation rate of propylene still maintains at a high value of 407 mol g Pt -1 h −1 (WHSV = 21.6 h −1 ) at 580 ℃ even after on pure propane stream for 42 h. The catalyst with the bimetallic CoCu-modified Pt species in S-1 zeolite reveals ultra-high activity and stability for PDH, which is ascribed to the highly dispersed Pt species and the stabilization effect of bimetallic additives on Pt species.
