The selective oxidation of ammonia nitrogen (NH 4 + -N) to dinitrogen (N 2 ) by persulfates (PS)-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) without the input of light or electrons is desired, but presents enormous challenges. In this study, S-doped carbon nanotubes (SCNTs) were prepared via a high-temperature sintering process and used to activate PS for NH 4 + -N oxidation in the presence of magnesium oxide (MgO). Compared with pristine carbon nanotubes (CNTs), SCNTs improved the N 2 selectivity of NH 4 + -N oxidation by SR-AOPs, which was attributed to the lower impedance of SCNTs than that of CNTs, enhancing the direct electron transfer pathway of NH 4 + -N oxidation. In the SCNTs/PS/MgO process, the non-radical pathway dominated the oxidation of NH 4 + -N. When SCNTs/PS/MgO process treated polluted lake water, 84.0% of NH 4 -N removal and 85.8% selectivity towards N 2 were achieved at initial pH of 6, initial NH 4 + -N concentration of 30 mg N/L, SCNTs dosage of 8 g/L, the mass ratios of SCNTs to PS of 1: 1, and reaction time of 60 min, highlighting its potential for practical applications.

Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) have been considered as ideal candidates for next-generation energy storage equipment. However, its development has been hindered by the shuttle effect exhibited by the intermediate lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). To address this problem, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) show great promises as sulfur hosts for LSBs. We devised and synthesized a covalent organic framework (TPAS–TPB–COF) that is rich in redox sites by solution polymerization. The reactive groups in the covalent organic framework nano–channels not only inhibit the shuttling of polysulfides, but also promote the migration of Li ions. Meanwhile, the abundant cavities as well as redox sites in the COF nano–channels achieve a high sulfur loading capacity (∼71 wt%), a strong LiPS adsorption capacity, and facilitate ion diffusion. Based on these advantages, when it is used as a sulfur host for LSBs, our COF system provides a high capacity of 1134 mAh g −1 at 0.2 C (1 C = 1675 mA g −1 ), an outstanding rate capability (560 mAh g −1 at 4 C), and excellent stability.

In this study, the effects of Ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1), the primary bioactive constituent of Panax ginseng roots, on glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) were examined using a zebrafish model, with a focus on elucidating its underlying mechanisms. Our findings demonstrated that Rg1 treatment inhibited osteoporosis induced by methylprednisolone (PN), as evidenced by increased mineralisation area and integrated optical density in the spine and skull of zebrafish larvae. Rg1 reduced the expression of bglap (an osteogenic marker gene) and increased the expression of traf (an osteoclast marker gene) compared with the PN group. Behavioural analysis revealed that Rg1 alleviated PN-induced hypoactivity, resulting in enhanced motion speed. Furthermore, transcriptome analysis identified 383 genes reversed by Rg1 treatment, with significant enrichment in skeletal system development. KEGG analysis indicated that Rg1 influenced several signalling pathways primarily involved in retinol, fat, protein and lipid metabolism. Several genes related to skeletal system development and retinol metabolism were validated by qRT-PCR. In summary, this study provides scientific evidence for the potential mechanisms of Rg1 in the therapeutic intervention of GIOP, highlighting its promise as a potential pharmacological agent for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Nanofiltration (NF) is considered a competitive purification method for acidic stream treatments. However, conventional thin-film composite NF membranes degrade under acid exposures, limiting their applications in industrial acid treatment. For example, wet-process phosphoric acid contains impurities of multivalent metal ions, but NF membrane technologies for impurity removal under harsh conditions are still immature. In this work, we develop a novel strategy of acid-resistant nanofiltration membranes based on interfacial polymerization (IP) of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and cyanuric chloride (CC) with the s-triazine ring. The IP process was optimized by orthogonal experiments to obtain positively charged PEI-CC membranes with a molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) of 337 Da. We further applied it to the approximate industrial phosphoric acid purification condition. In the tests using a mixed solution containing 20 wt% P2O5, 2 g/L Fe3+, 2 g/L Al3+, and 2 g/L Mg2+at 0.7 MPa and 25 °C, the NF membrane achieved 56% rejection of Fe, Al, and Mg and over 97% permeation of phosphorus. In addition, the PEI-CC membrane exhibited excellent acid resistance in the 48 h dynamic acid permeation experiment. The simple fabrication procedure of PEI-CC membrane has excellent acid resistance and great potential for industrial applications.

The rapid increase in atmospheric CO 2 levels due to industrialization underscores the urgent need for innovative carbon valorization strategies. Photocatalytic CO 2 reduction presents a sustainable solution; however, conventional systems suffer from inefficient charge separation and limited product applicability. Herein, a green and scalable tandem strategy is developed by integrating S-scheme photocatalysis with palladium-catalyzed carbonylation. A rationally designed CeO 2 /Bi 2 S 3 heterojunction leverages its hierarchical structure, broad visible-light absorption, oxygen-vacancy-mediated charge dynamics, and the S-scheme charge transfer mechanism to achieve highly efficient photocatalytic CO 2 -to-CO conversion (14.05 mmol g −1 , 98% selectivity). The generated CO is directly utilized in a subsequent carbonylation reaction under mild conditions, yielding high-value amides with near-quantitative CO utilization. This integrated approach eliminates the risks of CO handling and enhances economic viability, providing a direct and effective route for converting CO 2 into fine chemicals. By bridging photocatalysis with industrial catalysis, this work advances sustainable carbon recycling technologies and opens avenues for the development of efficient CO 2 conversion systems.

Li-S batteries (LSBs), with their exceptional theoretical energy density, are widely recognized as a leading option for future energy storage solutions. Nevertheless, on the way to commercialization, the poor conductivity of the positive electrode, the easy dissolution loss of the active substance, and the serious dendrite growth of the negative electrode are stumbling blocks. Therefore, this work designs a novel tungsten and nitrogen-co-doped nanoporous carbon (W,N-C) with multifunction: chemically adsorbs the polysulfides to inhibit shuttling behavior, accelerates Li + transfer, and catalyzes polysulfides redox to address the aforementioned issues of LSBs. As expected at the beginning of the design, the prepared W,N-C-5/S composites cathodes demonstrate excellent performances, i.e., delivering an initial capacity of 944.9 mAh g −1 and a reversible capacity of 771.7 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles at 1 C, significantly outperforming the N-C/S contrast sample. The proposed method offers a feasible solution for boosting the electrochemical performance of LSBs.

This paper presents a novel tubular microreactor immobilized a photocatalyst to overcome the limitations of low light utilization and the challenges associated with catalyst recovery in traditional photocatalysis reactors. The copper-sulfur co-doped carbon quantum dots (Cu, S-CQDs)/bismuth vanadate (BiVO 4 ) composites were successfully immobilized on the inner surface of the microreactor channel through the sol–gel process. The catalytic layer in the microreactor enlarged the specific surface area and facilitated the mass transfer. Meanwhile, it also greatly reduced the consumption of chemical supplies and eliminated the need for recycling the photocatalyst. The morphology and structural features of the catalytic layer were studied by characterization. Then the photocatalytic performance of the microreactor was evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B. The photocatalytic kinetics of the photocatalytic reaction in the microreactor was 0.60925, which was 10.49 times greater than that in the macroscopic system. The results showed that the microreactor led to a significant improvement in degradation efficiency. The reproducibility experiments conducted on the microreactor system further demonstrate its excellent stability. In short, integrating the beneficial properties of microreactors with Cu, S-CQDs/BiVO 4 exhibits highly promising prospects of photocatalytic applications.

The major challenge in photocatalytic water splitting lies in water oxidation reactions, which still suffer from poor charge separation. This study overcame inefficient charge separation by establishing a robust interfacial electric field through the electrostatic-driven assembly of Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles with a perylene imide supramolecule (PDINH). The well-aligned band structures and intimate interfacial contact in the PDINH/Co 3 O 4 heterostructure create an enhanced interfacial electric field that is 4.1- and 53.2-fold stronger than those of individual PDINH and Co 3 O 4 , thus promoting directional charge separation and transfer. Moreover, S-scheme charge transfer strongly preserves the oxidative holes in PDINH to drive efficient water oxidation reactions. Consequently, PDINH/Co 3 O 4 composite achieves a photocatalytic oxygen evolution rate of 29.26 mmol g –1 h –1 under visible light irradiation, 8.2-fold improvement over pristine PDINH, with an apparent quantum yield of 6.66% at 420 nm. This study provides fundamental insights into interfacial electric field control for the development of high-performance organic photocatalysts for efficient water oxidation.

Aqueous Zn–S batteries are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage applications due to their high specific capacity and energy density. However, their performance is extremely plagued by the sluggish redox kinetics. Here, an interface chemistry regulator is proposed for both electrodes to facilitate reaction kinetics and promote stability. The tetramethylurea (TTMU) is selected as the electrolyte additive. It first preferentially adsorbs on the sulfur cathode surface and coordinates to Zn 2+ , thereby altering their reaction pathway. This reduces the energy barrier and promotes uniform ZnS nucleation, which accelerates reaction kinetics. At the same time, the additive induces an effective solid-electrolyte interphase on the anode and enhances the reversibility and stability of Zn plating/stripping. With the help of 10% TTMU additive, the Zn–S battery delivers a high capacity of 1620 mAh g −1 with a low overpotential of 0.37 V at 0.1 A g −1 , which is superior to 1138 mAh g −1 /0.65 V in the benchmark Zn(OAc) 2 /ZnI 2 electrolyte. With the increase of current density to 5 A g −1 , the additive also significantly enhances the capacity from 48 to 913 mAh g −1 . Promoted cycling stabilities are further achieved for both Zn electrode and Zn–S cells in the TTMU containing electrolyte.

Oligomerization of C4 olefins is one of the important pathways to utilize this type of resource for the production of high value-added chemicals. The spatial distribution of acid sites in the catalyst is closely related to the catalytic performance and product distribution. Ionic liquids (ILs) are a promising class of catalysts for butene oligomerization. Fabricating an ionic liquid into a poly(ionic liquid) is an effective approach to regulate the acid site distribution. Herein, various acidic poly(ionic liquid)s were synthesized by changing the polymerization method, copolymer block monomer structure, porogens, and assembly sequence during the synthesis process. Characterization results indicated that polymerizing the acidic ionic liquid monomer (1-vinyl-3-sulfobutylimidazolium triflate) with an appropriate amount of cross-linker (divinylbenzene) could effectively regulate the spatial distribution of active sites. The addition of lipophilic comonomers improved the lipophilicity of poly(ionic liquid)s to enhance the miscibility between butene and the catalyst. Moreover, it was found that adjusting the assembly sequence can further disperse the spatial distribution of the active sites of the IL monomer. The poly(ionic liquid) obtained by assembling the comonomer first and then copolymerizing the IL monomer and divinylbenzene, i.e., APIL-DVB@PDVB-EGDMA, contained a sufficient amount of Brønsted acid and exhibited good lipophilicity, with further improved spatial dispersion of acidic sites. When APIL-DVB@PDVB-EGDMA was used as the catalyst, isobutene was completely converted within 1 h, and the dimer selectivity reached 72.4%, in comparison with 100% for conversion and 39.2% for dimer selectivity in the catalysis by the ionic liquid monomer after 3 h.

Molten salt-assisted pyrolysis has emerged as an effective strategy for engineering defective/doped g-C 3 N 4 photocatalysts for CO 2 reduction. While K + incorporation enhances interlayer charge transport, excessive K + generates detrimental nitrogen vacancies that destabilize the heptazine framework and compromise carrier mobility. Herein, we developed S/K co-doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) with tunable nitrogen vacancies (denoted SWCN-M) via molten salt (KCl-LiCl) pyrolysis of sulfur-containing supramolecular precursors (melamine with thiourea or thioacetamide). The nitrogen vacancy concentration is precisely modulated by the choice of sulfur precursor (thiourea vs. thioacetamide) to optimize the synergy effect of K + -N-vacancy, and eventually boosting photocatalytic performance. The thiourea-derived SWCN-M TU achieves a CO evolution rate of 165.7 μmol g −1 h −1 , outperforming its thioacetamide analogue (SWCN-M TAA , 90.4 μmol g −1 h −1 ), pristine WCN (53.8 μmol g −1 h −1 ), and K-doped WCN-M (64.3 μmol g −1 h −1 ) by factors of 1.8, 3.1, and 2.6, respectively. DFT calculation results reveal that S-doping induces charge localization, elevating the N-vacancy formation energy via Coulombic repulsion with K + . This work advances the rational design of vacancy-engineered carbon nitride for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction

The environmental problems caused by excessive CO2 emissions have made the development of adsorbent materials for capturing CO2 an important topic. N-doped porous carbon materials are attractive for CO2 adsorption because of their large specific surface area, porous structure, and multiple active sites. S and N are known to work well together as codopants, but the effects of S on N and the synergistic effects of S and N on carbon materials need to be clarified. In this study, N and S codoped porous carbon samples with an ultramicroporous structure were prepared by using lignin as the carbon source and thiourea as the sulfur source. The prepared samples had a specific surface area of up to 1723 m2/g and N and S contents of up to 1.60 at % and 0.23 at %, respectively. In tests, the best-performing sample had a CO2 adsorption capacity of 3.58 mmol/g at 298 K and 1 bar, which can be attributed to ultramicropores (<1 nm) making up 67.8% of the pore volume. S doping had the synergistic effect of increasing the pyrrole N content on the sample surface, which increased the CO2 adsorption capacity. The present study provides insights into using N and S codoping to develop high-efficiency carbon-based adsorbents for CO2 capture.
