Summary: Polarizations within ferroelectric or pizeoelectric materials promote interior photogenerated carriers separation, improving photocatalytic activity. However, pristine ferroelectric or pizeoelectric semiconductors are limited by insufficient polarization and spectral absorption. In this study, Bi4Ti3-2nCrnNbnO12/x-g-C3N4 (BTCNO-n/x-CN) heterojunctions were prepared by loading ultrathin g-C3N4 on ferroelectric BTCNO synthesized with co-doping of Cr3+-Nb5+ pairs. The doping not only enhances the piezoelectric performance of the heterojunctions but also promotes spectral absorption, leading to improved photocatalytic performance.

Summary: The Z-scheme heterojunction is promising in photocatalysis due to its efficient carrier separation and strong photoredox properties. However, regulating charge separation at the nanometric interface remains a challenge. In this study, we used g-C3N4 and MoS2 as models and designed the Mo-N chemical bond to connect the CB of MoS2 and VB of g-C3N4. The Mo-N bond acts as an atomic-level interfacial bridge, facilitating charge carrier migration between g-C3N4 and MoS2. Experiments confirmed that the Mo-N bond and internal electric field greatly enhance photogenerated carrier separation. The optimized photocatalyst exhibits a hydrogen evolution rate 19.6 times higher than pristine bulk C3N4. This study demonstrates the importance of atomic-level interfacial chemical bond design in heterojunctions and provides a new approach for efficient catalytic heterojunction design.

Summary: In this study, a supramolecule self-assembly approach combined with thermal polycondensation was used to construct direct Z-scheme-dictated TiO2/g-C3N4 heterojunctions, resulting in enhanced visible-light photocatalytic oxidation activity. The TiO2/g-C3N4 heterojunctions showed significantly improved photocatalytic activity compared to TiO2, P25 TiO2, and g-C3N4 in the degradation of phenolic pollutants, with the TiO2-to-g-C3N4 molar ratio influencing the activity. This enhancement can be attributed to the direct Z-scheme-dictated charge carrier transfer mechanism and intimate interfacial contact between TiO2 and g-C3N4.

Summary: Chemical oxidation as a pretreatment for petroleum-contaminated soil, coupled with bioremediation, can have serious impacts on indigenous microorganisms and available nutrients. This study found that hydrogen peroxide treatments significantly promoted the removal of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), especially in the initial days, and also affected the levels of dissolved nutrients. Both chemical oxidation and nutrients contribute to changes in microbial community structure and diversity. However, the long-term effects of H2O2 as a pretreatment had little impact on the soil indigenous microbial community structure and actually facilitated the continuous removal of TPH by indigenous microorganisms.

Summary: The presence of chloride ion (Cl-) in hydroxyl radical based advanced oxidation processes (HR-AOPs) can either promote or inhibit the oxidation of organic compounds, depending on the reactivity of chlorine radicals. However, the effects of high concentrations of Cl- on the removal of total organic compounds (TOC) in high salinity organic wastewater treated by HR-AOPs have not been well studied. This research investigated the removal and mineralization of azo dye Orange II (OrgII) by UV/H2O2 process with high contents of Cl-. It was found that high concentrations of Cl- significantly promoted the mineralization of dyes with TOC removal increasing by 10%-40% under both acidic and alkaline conditions. The proposed mechanism is that Cl- reacts with hydroxyl radicals, inhibiting the decomposition of H2O2 and promoting the oxidation of dye molecules.

Summary: The corrosion inhibitory potency of two new pyrimidine-pyrazole derivatives, PPA and PPC, was evaluated for mild steel in 1 M HCl. The results showed enhanced inhibition activities with increased concentration, reaching maximal values of 91.15% and 92.39% for PPA and PPC, respectively. However, the mitigation potency decreased with increasing temperature. SEM and XPS analysis revealed that PPA and PPC adsorbed on the mild steel surface, forming a shielding layer that prevented the dissolution of the steel in the acidic solution.
