Single-stage oil/water separation membranes usually suffer from weak chemical stability, susceptible mechanical damage and relatively low permeating flux, and the sophisticated preparation processes also limit their massive utilization. In this work, Cu(OH) 2 nanoneedles coated copper mesh (CM) is prepared by simple and eco-friendly anodic oxidation at a current density of 4 mA/cm 2 for 6 min, which is the most efficient route reported so far. The mesh exhibits outstanding superhydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity towards various oils with contact angles up to 164.9°, achieving superior oil/water separation efficiency of above 99.5% and ultrahigh permeating flux of 191 160 L·m −2 h −1 solely driven by gravity. Impressively, the Cu(OH) 2 /CM demonstrates excellent chemical stability and anti-fouling performance when exposed to acidic and strongly alkaline solutions, saturated NaCl solution and various organic solvents . High durability to withstand mechanical challenges, e.g. high-power sonication and sand abrasion, is experimentally confirmed owing to strong cohesional strength of Cu(OH) 2 nanoneedles on CM surface. Importantly, the Cu(OH) 2 /CM exhibits favorable long-term recyclability with stable microstructure morphologies even after 50 cycles. These distinct advantages endow the Cu(OH) 2 /CM to be an ideal candidate to efficiently separate oil pollutants from water. The oil/water separation mechanisms are proposed based on the concept of intrusion pressure.

A hybrid nanocomposite consisting of hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs−OH) and cube mesoporous carbon (CMK−8) was applied in this study to construct an MWCNT−OH/CMK−8/gold electrode (GE) electrochemical sensor and simultaneously perform the electro-reduction of olaquindox (OLA) and carbadox (CBX). The respective peak currents of CBX and OLA on the modified electrode increased by 720- and 595-fold relative to the peak current of GE. The performances of the modified electrode were investigated with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and differential pulse voltammetry. Then, the modified electrodes were used for the individual and simultaneous determination of OLA and CBX. The fabricated sensor demonstrated a linear response at 0.2–500 nmol/L in optimum experimental conditions, and the detection limits were 104.1 and 62.9 pmol/L for the simultaneous determination of OLA and CBX, respectively. As for individual determination, wide linear relationships were obtained for the detected OLA with levels of 0.05–500 nmol/L with LOD of 20.7 pmol/L and the detected CBX with levels of 0.10–500 nmol/L with LOD of 50.2 pmol/L. The fabricated sensor was successfully used in the independent and simultaneous determination of OLA and CBX in spiked pork samples.Keywords:CMK−8;MWCNTs−OH;electrochemical sensor;differential pulse voltammetry;simultaneous determination;carbadox;olaquindox

An investigation of aerobic oxidation of 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol to vanillin catalyzed by a number of cobalt salts, complexes, oxides, and hydroxides in alkaline solutions is reported. A good yield of vanillin (90%) was obtained when CoCl2 was used as the catalyst, while a poor yield (6%) was obtained with Co3O4. Unexpectedly, however, the Co3O4 catalytic activity was restored after heating in an alcoholic solution of NaOH for 24 h, producing a good yield of vanillin (85%). The recovered catalytic activity of Co3O4 indicated a conversion of inactivated heterogeneous particles to activated particles. In addition, precipitates were generated when “homogeneous” CoCl2 was employed as a catalyst, making us wonder about the true nature of the catalyst in this reaction. A series of experiments are described, including kinetic studies, filtration tests, centrifugation tests, dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction, for the investigation of the true catalyst under catalytic conditions. The key observations led to the conclusion that the cobalt salts and complexes act as precatalysts that transform to cobalt oxide/hydroxide [CoOx(OH)y] nanoparticles, which is responsible for the benzylic C(sp3)–H oxyfunctionalization of 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol. Additionally, the size of the particles is decisive for catalyst performance. The nature of the active nanoparticles was also studied. With regard to the identification of homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysis, this study provides a complement to existing catalytic reaction types.

Hexagonal β-Ni(OH) 2 nanosheets with thickness of ∼12 nm were synthesized by a hydrothermal method at 150 °C using nickel chloride as nickel source and morpholine as alkaline. Electrodes for application in pseudocapacitor were assembled through a traditional technique: pressing a mixture of β-Ni(OH) 2 nanosheets and acetylene black onto nickel foam. Due to the hexagonal shape of rigid β-Ni(OH) 2 nanosheet and the mediation of surface-modified glycerol during electrochemical charge–discharge cycles, a nanostructure of electrode material with facile interior pathway for the transfer of electrolyte was formed. As a result, the as-formed electrodes presented high specific capacitance of 1,917 F g −1 at current density of 1.6 A g −1 in 3 mol L −1 KOH solution. At high charge and discharge current density of 31.3 A g −1 , the electrodes still remained a high specific capacitance of 1,289 F g −1 . The interesting results obtained from this investigation may provide a new insight for the synthesis of electrode materials with high electrochemical performance.

A phase transfer method was developed to prepare Mg(OH)2 nanosheets and a subsequent adsorption–calcination process was followed to obtain lamellar MgO nanostructures. The as-prepared MgO nanosheets also showed a superior adsorption property of Congo red. Transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffractometer results indicated that the as-obtained Mg(OH)2 was plate-shaped with a hexagonal crystal structure where MgO possessed a lamellar structure with a cubic phase. The maximum adsorption capacities of Mg(OH)2 and MgO were reached up to 1820 and 2650 mg g−1, respectively. The high adsorption capacity might be related to the particle geometry and large surface area (87.97 m2 g−1 for Mg(OH)2 and 132.31 m2 g−1 for MgO). The adsorbents can be easily regenerated for five times without any significant loss in their adsorption property. The adsorption behaviors of the Mg(OH)2 and MgO adsorbents showed that the adsorption kinetics and isotherms were in good agreement with pseudo-second-order rate equation and Freundlich adsorption model.

Oxygen vacancies play a crucial role in charge transport and surface states in semiconductor metal oxides, significantly influencing various research fields, such as photocatalysis and gas sensor. Developing effective strategies to generate oxygen vacancies and thereby enhance device performance is highly desirable. In this study, we proposed a water-based one-step electrospinning method to introduce hydroxyl groups, leading to the synthesis of Pt-decorated WO3 nanofibers (Pt-WO3(H2O)) with increased oxygen vacancies. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the dissociation energy of W–OH is lower than that of the W–O bonds, promoting the formation of oxygen vacancies via W–OH bond cleavage. These vacancies reduced the adsorption energy of acetone on the WO3 surface, enhancing surface interactions. Consequently, the Pt-WO3(H2O) sensor exhibited an ultrahigh response of 82 to 1.8 ppm acetone at 300 °C, which was about 1 order of magnitude higher than the one fabricated by conventional electrospinning. These findings indicate that water-based electrospinning is an effective technique for generating oxygen vacancies in metal oxide nanofibers. Our high-performance acetone sensor, capable of detecting low concentrations, holds great potential for applications in noninvasive health screening.

Modifying the back contact interface plays a key role in improving the efficiency of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) solar cells. Aiming at the phase decomposition and carrier recombination issues in the CZTSSe/Mo back contact interface, an ultra-thin Mg(OH)2 intermediate layer was introduced between the Mo substrate and the CZTSSe absorber layer. The Mg(OH)2 intermediate layer effectively suppressed the interface phase decomposition reactions and inhibited the generation of interface secondary phases. Meanwhile, during the high-temperature selenization process, the Mg2+ doped into CZTSSe at the back contact interface, reducing the defects and band offset at the CZTSSe/Mo interface. The performance of the device was improved, with a significant increase in efficiency compared to the control device. This work highlights the modification effect of Mg(OH)2 for improving back contact and also provides an easy-handling method to achieve high-performance CZTSSe solar cells.

Graphitic-phase carbon nitride (CN) is a potential flame retardant due to its unique two-dimensional structure and thermal properties. Here, hexachlorocyclic triphosphate was grafted onto CN to form organic–inorganic crosslinked nanosheets (CPH) through the abundant reactive groups of polydopamine. Then the nickel hydroxide nanosheets were loaded onto the surface of CPH to obtain CPH@Ni(OH) 2 hybrids. The combination of Ni(OH) 2 and CPH can achieve multiple flame-retardant effects with excellent catalytic char formation and gas-phase flame-retardant properties. The results show that CPH@Ni(OH) 2 /EP has the highest residual char (30.2%) in the thermogravimetric experiments, which lays the foundation for its high adiabatic properties. Compared with other samples, the CPH@Ni(OH) 2 /EP sample exhibits the largest expansion height (24.1 mm), the largest expansion rate (18.83), and the smallest smoke density (38.6%), which indicates a significant increase in the expansion height and smoke suppression properties. The SEM reveals a denser and more complete residual char layer for the CPH@Ni(OH) 2 /EP samples. Some metal oxides were embedded in the residual char, which was essential for improving the heat resistance and strength of the char layer. Evidently, CPH@Ni(OH) 2 can effectively improve the flame-retardant properties of epoxy coatings.

Ni(OH) 2 is a typical battery-type material with high theoretical specific capacity. Its two inherent disadvantages, namely slow electrochemical dynamics and extremely poor cycling life, have become stumbling blocks for its application in supercapacitors (SCs). The hitherto slow advancement in the electrochemical performance of Ni(OH) 2 implies a misunderstanding of its electrochemical mechanism and inappropriate building strategies of the structure. In this work, we build a structure of porous carbon-confined α-Ni(OH) 2 using Mg-MOF-74 as a sacrificial template. The carbon matrix acts as the conductive network and the porous substrate for self-healing the damaged structure caused by the dissolution-precipitation of α-Ni(OH) 2 and suppressing the dissolution-recrystallization behavior of β-Ni(OH) 2 transformed from α-Ni(OH) 2 . Due to the thin sheet morphology and the retention of this morphology throughout cycling, the porous carbon-confined Ni(OH) 2 demonstrates excellent high-rate performance, and an ultra-long cycling life comparable to the carbon materials of electrical double layer capacitors (EDLCs). The assembled SCs also exhibit a high power density of 10.8 kW kg −1 and an energy density of 40.9 Wh kg −1 . The positive result in this work may offer a promising strategy for obtaining SCs with both high energy and power densities.

Ammonia borane (NH 3 BH 3 ) as a solid chemical hydrogen storage material with a high hydrogen content can be hydrolyzed under mild conditions to release hydrogen. In this work, Fe–Ni–B/Cu(OH) 2 –Cu foam was synthesized by combining in situ growth and electroless plating. Compared with the binary Fe–B/Cu(OH) 2 –Cu foam and Ni–B/Cu(OH) 2 –Cu foam prepared by the same method, the ternary Fe–Ni–B/Cu(OH) 2 –Cu foam has superior catalytic performance. The Fe–Ni–B/Cu(OH) 2 –Cu foam catalyst was able to achieve a maximum hydrogen production rate of 5.6 ml min −1 cm −2 at 298 K with an activation energy as low as 46.3 kJ mol −1 . And more importantly, its catalytic efficiency has hardly decayed after ten cycles. These excellent properties are due to its low activation energy and the large specific surface, multi–site Cu(OH) 2 –Cu–foam carrier.

Simple wet chemical method was used to prepare Cu(OH) 2 nanowire-coated copper mesh (denoted as Cu(OH) 2 -CM). Following modification with phytic acid (PA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI), superhydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic copper mesh (denoted as Cu(OH) 2 /PA/PEI-CM) with excellent mechanical and chemical stability was obtained. The Cu(OH) 2 /PA/PEI-CM exhibited efficient separation for various oil/water mixtures. Importantly, Cu(OH) 2 /PA/PEI-CM shows superior anti-crude oil fouling properties. A 280-cycle test (with only four cleanings) using a 2 cm 2 Cu(OH) 2 /PA/PEI demonstrates a large separation capacity, long-term stability and self-cleaning performance of the mesh during the treatment of a 11.2 L crude oil/water mixture. These distinct advantages give the Cu(OH) 2 /PA/PEI-CM great potential for practical application in separating oil pollutants from water.

Nanoplastics and bisphenols (including bisphenol A and its alternatives) are emerging co-contaminants in aquatic ecosystems, yet their combined toxicological effects remain poorly understood. To address this gap, we developed a novel electrochemical biosensor using HepG2 cells and a nanocomposite of hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride), and boron-doped graphene quantum dots (MWCNT-OH/PDDA/B-GQDs). This unique composite design, verified by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, revealed strong adsorption energies for cellular electroactive substances (xanthine: −1.12 eV; guanine: −1.56 eV), confirming the sensor's superior detection capability. The biosensor was used to assess the cytotoxicity of polystyrene nanoplastics (PS 25 nm ) and five bisphenols individually; their mixture exhibited an additive combined effect. Beyond rapid toxicity screening, we further conducted comprehensive mechanistic investigations through oxidative stress analysis, apoptosis assessment, and transcriptome sequencing. Results indicated that exposure to PS 25 nm and bisphenols, either individually or in combination, induced oxidative stress, as evidenced by decreased glutathione (GSH) levels and reduced superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Transcriptome analysis revealed substantial enrichment of differentially expressed genes in the pathways related to protein synthesis, oxidative stress response, and liver disease. This study not only establishes a rapid and sensitive approach for evaluating the toxicity of nanoplastics and bisphenols in aquatic environments but also provides a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms through integrated multi-level analysis, thereby providing essential mechanistic data to support their comprehensive biosafety assessment and regulatory management.
