Summary: In this study, Ni particles were successfully dispersed on YSZ through the strong interaction with SiO2, resulting in the formation of nickel silicate particles. The SiO2-anchored Ni particles supported on YSZ (Ni/YSZ-SiO2) were obtained via direct reduction. The Ni/YSZ-SiO2 anode exhibited higher power density compared to the unmodified Ni/YSZ anode, attributed to the longer effective TPB area provided by the highly dispersed Ni particles. The growth of a SiO2 layer using low-temperature CVD is considered a promising method for preparing Ni/YSZ electrode material with well-defined microstructure.

Summary: This research developed two novel electromagnetic nanocomposites, Fe3O4@void@SiO(2)nanochains and Fe3O4@void@SiO2@PPy nanochains, and found that Fe3O4@void@SiO2@PPy nanochains have stronger absorption capability and broader effective absorption bandwidth than Fe3O4@void@SiO(2)nanochains due to the introduction of polypyrrole shells. With a minimum reflection loss value of -54.2 dB and a maximum effective absorption bandwidth of 5.90 GHz, Fe3O4@void@SiO2@PPy nanochains are promising microwave absorption candidates.

Summary: In this study, a novel magnetic nanoadsorbent was successfully synthesized, which exhibited water stability and biocompatibility in wastewater, and showed high selective capture for Pb(II) and Cu(II). The nanoadsorbent retained high uptake capacity after multiple cycles and had weak interference from other ions. The mechanism of interaction between the nanoadsorbent and heavy metal ions was analyzed based on electrostatic potential and average local ionization energy. The results showed that the interaction was bridged by oxygen active sites. This hierarchical and highly water-dispersible nanoadsorbent has the potential to be used for wastewater treatment.

The results showed that the composites had high adsorption capacities for RG5 dye and could be regenerated.

Summary: Hydrophobic coatings inspired by the lotus effect have gained popularity for their ability to solve various problems. The sol-gel method, utilizing silica, alumina, and titania, is explored as an environmentally friendly approach to produce water-based hydrophobic coatings. This study focuses on producing water-based hydrophobic coatings for cotton and polyester fabrics using a one-step sol-gel method. The coated fabrics exhibited improved hydrophobic properties, altered surface morphologies, and lower air permeability compared to uncoated fabrics. TEOS-PDMS coating provides a promising approach for enhancing the hydrophobic and surface properties of cotton and polyester fabrics.

Summary: Pt/C and SO42-/ZrO2 were used as catalysts for the synthesis of p-aminophenol through the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of nitrobenzene in water with formic acid as the hydrogen source. The optimal Pt loading for PAP selectivity was found to be 1 wt%. The presence of different valence states of Pt affected both the nitrobenzene hydrogenation and formic acid decomposition. Among different solid acid catalysts tested, SO42-/ZrO2 exhibited the highest catalytic activity for p-aminophenol formation. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the conversion of nitrobenzene reached 80.0%, with a selectivity of 47.6% for p-aminophenol.

Summary: The mechanism of the reaction between CO2 and styrene oxide for cyclic carbonate was revealed using density functional theory calculations. The noncatalytic reaction occurred via a concerted mechanism, while in the presence of guanidine and tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) co-catalysts, the epoxide ring-opening by nucleophilic attack of an iodide anion was predicted to be the rate-determining step. Guanidine acted as the H-bond donor to activate styrene oxide, facilitating the reaction with a lower activation barrier.

Summary: Copper nanorods (Cu-NRs) exhibit significant plasmonic behavior and can act as efficient catalysts in redox processes and coupling. A benign decarboxylative approach, utilizing localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) assisted catalysis with Cu-NRs, has been developed for the production of alkane analogues from alkyl carboxylic acids under visible light. The catalyst shows a broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance, without the need for an external oxidant or proton source. A plausible mechanism for this recyclable nano-catalyst has also been proposed based on control experiments.
