The electrocatalytic nitrogen oxidation reaction (NOR) is a promising alternative to the industrial synthesis of nitrate. However, with the enhancement of NOR activity by modification methods, the competitive oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is always improved simultaneously. Here, a hybrid electrocatalyst composed of Au nanoparticles and oxygen vacancy-enriched niobium oxide nanobelts (Au–Nb2O5−x) was prepared on niobium foil for N2 fixation into NO3−. The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) demonstrate that electron transfer occurs between Au nanoparticles and the oxygen vacancies in Nb2O5−x nanobelts, which adjusts the electronic structures of oxygen vacancies near the Au/Nb2O5−x interface. Electrochemical and N2 temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) tests indicate that the optimization of the electronic structure suppresses the activity of the competitive OER on oxygen vacancy sites and facilitates nitrogen adsorption on the surface of Au–Nb2O5−x, which significantly enhances the NOR performance of the electrocatalyst.

Calcium chloride (CaCl2) aqueous solution as a liquid desiccant has the disadvantage of low vapor pressure and easy crystallization. Ionic liquids (ILs) such as [Emim]Cl, [Emim]Ac, and [Emim]Br have been verified to have a good ability to reduce the vapor pressure. In this paper, the vapor pressures of four kinds of CaCl2 + ILs + H2O were measured, which were CaCl2 + [Emim]Br + H2O (mass ratio CaCl2/[Emim]Br = 2:1) at temperatures of between 311.10 and 394.45 K, CaCl2 + [Emim]Cl + H2O (mass ratio CaCl2/[Emim]Cl = 2:1) at temperatures of between 306.58 and 393.89 K, CaCl2 + [Emim]Ac + H2O (mass ratio CaCl2/[Emim]Ac = 2:1) at temperatures of between 304.93 and 382.71 K, and CaCl2 + [Emim]NO3 + H2O (mass ratio CaCl2/[Emim]NO3 = 2:1) at temperatures of between 312.46 and 391.80 K, with the mass fraction of solute ranging from 0.2 to 0.5. The Antonie-type equation was used to fit the measured results. The average absolute relative deviation (AARD %) values of the measured vapor pressures and calculated vapor pressures were 0.52, 0.40, 0.33, and 0.27%, which showed good consistency and accuracy. Comparing the vapor pressures of the different solutions at the same concentration, the following order of the four anions with the ability to reduce the vapor pressure of CaCl2 + H2O can be drawn at a mass fraction of 0.4: Br– > Cl– > NO3– > Ac–.

A multitude of composite phase change materials (PCM) systems have been developed, resulting in significant advancements in the efficiency of solar thermal storage systems. However, there is a paucity of inorganic-organic composite PCMs systems, and the phase change mechanism remains unclear, which significantly constrains the deployment and advancement of this category of PCMs. To address this gap in the literature, this team has developed a novel organic-inorganic composite PCM system using 30 wt% Mg(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O (MNH) and 70 wt% propanamide (POA) as raw materials. The thermal physical properties of the PCMs were initially analyzed, and the results demonstrated that the PCMs exhibited favourable latent heat and thermal cycling stability. The melting point was found to be 376.2 K, with a latent heat of melting of 131.93 J·g −1 . It was observed that the melting temperature and latent heat remained essentially unaltered after 500 cycles. Subsequently, the structure of the PCMs was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Ultimately, the interaction between liquid MNH and POA was modeled using molecular dynamics, allowing for a deeper understanding of the phase transition mechanism. It is hypothesized that the hydrogen bonds (HBs) between the two substances affects the physical bond, and that HBs contribute to the PCMs having good stability and a high thermal decomposition temperature. The rational mechanism of this phenomenon is explained from many aspects, including structure, Hirshfeld surface and thermal analysis. It is anticipated that the discovery of this new PCMs will facilitate large-scale applications in solar energy storage.

Herein, Br − and Bi 0 co-modified Bi 2 WO 6-x nanosheets were synthesized for efficient photocatalytic NO removal. Plasmonic metallic Bi 0 markedly enhanced visible light absorption, and the Br − -Bi 0 synergistic interaction facilitated efficient separation and migration of photogenerated carriers. Consequently, the optimal catalyst achieved a maximum visible-light-driven NO removal efficiency of 53.1% with near-zero toxic NO 2 accumulation, significantly outperforming pristine Bi 2 WO 6-x (4.6%). Quenching experiments reveal that NO activation and oxidation are dominated by photogenerated e − and •O 2 − radicals, while photogenerated h + drives the subsequent deep oxidation of NO 2 . In-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm the coexistence of direct (NO → NO − → NO 3 − ) and indirect (NO → NO 2 − → NO 3 − ) NO deep oxidation pathways. The Br − -Bi 0 synergy promotes the NO 2 − -to-NO 3 − step, effectively suppressing toxic NO 2 accumulation. This work provides mechanistic insights into the design of advanced photocatalysts for safe and efficient atmospheric pollutant purification.

A bimetallic Ni-Pt catalyst (6Ni-Pt-HMS) was designed for the dehydrogenation of 1,2-cyclohexanediol (CHD) to catechol. The hexagonal mesoporous silica (HMS) as support, loaded with platinum and nickel by one-pot and incipient-wetness impregnation method, respectively. [Ni(en) 3 ](NO 3 ) 2 is used as the precursor of nickel. The physi-cochemical properties of the catalysts were examined by XRD, BET, SEM and TEM techniques. The effect of ethylenediamine on nickel dispersion during impregnation was studied by comparing with the traditional precursor (nickel nitrate). FTIR and TGA results showed that the presence of ethylenediamine modifies the behavior of nickel during impregnation and calcination . The activity and stability of the catalysts were evaluated on a fixed-bed, revealing the influence of mesoporous structure, ethylenediamine, and platinum on reaction. The 6Ni-Pt-HMS catalyst, with the conversion of CHD is 100 %, the selectivity of catechol as high as 99.7 % with the liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) is 9 h −1 , and a long-term stability. The deactivation mechanism of the spent catalyst was analyzed by BET, TGA, SEM, TEM-EDX and ICP-OES.

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.

Mustard gas is a kind of erosive poison with great harm and used as a chemical weapon since World War. It has suggested that the photocatalytic technology is an effective method to eliminate it. Because the small difference in molecular structure between 2-CEES and Mustard gas, and the less toxic of 2-CEES, 2-CEES is often used as a simulator to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of catalysts. In this work, symbiotic mixture of Bi 2 WO 6 and Bi 6 O 6 (OH) 3 (NO 3 ) 3 ·1.5H 2 O nanosheets doped with Mo (Mo-B-B) have been synthesized by a facile hydrothermal treatment. The samples were characterized by XRD, DRS, XPS, SEM, TEM, Raman, and PL. The photocatalytic activity of the samples was evaluated by measuring the degradation of 2-CEES under visible light irradiation. The results showed that the doped Mo reduce the Eg of bare symbiotic mixture and improve the separation efficiency of photo-generated carriers that is beneficial to photocatalytic activity. The optimum amount of doped Mo is 5% that exhibits the best activity for degradation for 2-CEES.

A novel and highly efficient one-pot synthesis of polysubstituted imidazoles from α-hydroxyphenylacetic acids, diphenylacetylene, and amines has been achieved by Pd(OAc)2/Ce(SO4)2/Bi(NO3)3 trimetallic catalytic system. A series of control experiments showed that this overall reaction occurs through a one-pot cascade process combining the steps of decarboxylation of α-hydroxyphenylacetic acids, Wacker-type oxidation of diphenylacetylene, and Debus–Radziszewski annulation of aryl aldehydes and benzil generated in situ, as well as amines. This reaction represents a novel multicomponent reaction using α-hydroxyphenylacetic acids and diphenylacetylene as sources of aryl aldehydes and a β-diketone. This process exhibits a broad substrate scope and a good functional group tolerance to assemble the corresponding polysubstituted imidazoles in excellent yields (72–88%) under mild conditions.

The vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data of four ternary solutions HCOOK + [Emim]Ac /[Emim]Br / [Emim]Cl / [Emim]NO 3 + H 2 O were measured using the boiling method at the temperatures from 305.78 K to 387.08 K, at solute (HCOOK + IL) mass fractions ( w ) between 0.2 and 0.5. A total of 234 data points ( w = 0 included) were obtained and correlated with empirical Antoine-type equations. The absolute average relative deviations (AARD %) between calculated and measured vapour pressures were 0.58%, 0.50%, 0.49%, 0.63%, respectively, which showed good agreement. The comparison of the experimental and standard data and combined uncertainties of the experimental data confirmed good reliability of the experimental method and apparatus. The four ternary solutions with ILs as additives have lower vapour pressure compared to the corresponding binary solutions without ILs. The results showed that the four ternary solutions of HCOOK + [Emim]Ac / [Emim]Br / [Emim]Cl / [Emim]NO 3 + H 2 O can be the alternatives for traditional dehumidification and absorption media. [Emim]Cl has the best ability to reduce the vapour pressure of HCOOK + H 2 O at the solute (HCOOK + IL) mass fraction of 0.4 and 0.5. The [Emim]Ac has the most effect reducing the vapour pressure of HCOOK + H 2 O at the solute (HCOOK + IL) mass fraction of 0.3.

The rational design of efficient photoanodes is essential for advancing solar-driven water oxidation. This study addresses the intrinsic challenges of bismuth vanadate (BiVO 4 ), such as sluggish charge kinetics and severe surface recombination, through the construction of a ternary composite photoanode via synergistic interfacial modification and cocatalyst integration. A hierarchical architecture was fabricated through sequential low-temperature chemical bath deposition and electrodeposition, integrating a CoFe-layered double hydroxide (CoFe-LDH) interlayer and nickel-hydroxynitrate (Ni 2 (NO 3 ) 2 (OH) 2 ) onto BiVO 4 substrates. The optimized BiVO 4 /CoFe-LDH@Ni 2 (NO 3 ) 2 (OH) 2 photoanode achieves a photocurrent density of 5.57 mA/cm 2 at 1.23 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (V RHE ) under Air Mass 1.5 Global (AM 1.5G) illumination, accompanied by a 251 mV cathodic shift in onset potential. Comprehensive characterizations-including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), open-circuit photovoltage (OCP) decay, time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) decay, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM)-reveal that the oxygen vacancy (O v )-rich CoFe-LDH@Ni 2 (NO 3 ) 2 (OH) 2 layer facilitates efficient charge transfer within BiVO 4 and generates a pronounced built-in electric field, thereby significantly enhancing interfacial charge separation. Concurrently, density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that the interfacial effect of CoFe-LDH@Ni 2 (NO 3 ) 2 (OH) 2 substantially lowers the thermodynamic barrier for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). This study offers fundamental insights for fabricating high-efficiency BiVO 4 -based photoanodes.

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction offers a sustainable route to ammonia synthesis and wastewater treatment. However, the nitrate-to-ammonia conversion remains inefficient due to the sluggish kinetics and diverse side reactions. Herein, well-faceted CuNi nanocrystals with Ni-rich surfaces and favorable d-band centres were synthesized with the assistance of γ-cyclodextrin via a solvothermal process. When used as catalysts for nitrate electroreduction, they delivered an ammonia yield of 1.374 mmol h−1 mg−1 (0.5496 mmol h−1 cm−2) at −0.3 V with the faradaic efficiency and selectivity reaching 94.5% and 65.0%, respectively, surpassing pure Cu or Ni nanocrystals and most reported catalysts. Such excellent performances originated from the optimal geometric and electronic structures and special element distribution, which optimized the adsorption behaviors and accelerated the reaction kinetics. A NO3−–NO2−–NH3 pathway was proposed with the chemical process following the initial electron transfer process as the rate-determining step. This work sheds light on the design of efficient catalysts to achieve carbon neutrality through simultaneous geometric and electronic structure modulation.

Battery-type electrode materials such as Ni(OH)2 applied in Faraday supercapacitors could present a low cycling stability due to the microstructure damage of materials, originating from their cyclic volume swelling and shrinking. It is well established that the structural stability of materials is crucial for their cycling stability. However, the lack of knowledge about the structural relevance of materials to their cycling stability somehow results in a chaotic understanding on the material design. In this study, we try to reveal the structural relevance by comparing an orderly built nanostructure with a randomly packed nanostructure using Ni(OH)2 as the target material. It is found that the branched nanosheet-interlaced nanostructure of Ni(OH)2 has its self-supportive function in favor of its structural stability, thus promoting its cycling stability. Also, the orderly nanostructured Ni(OH)2 presents high electrochemical performance due to the reduced interfacial charge-transfer resistance and Warburg resistance.
