A high-performance piezoelectric photocatalyst was developed to improve the removal efficiency of tetracycline hydrochloride. The photocatalyst introduced a piezoelectric effect and constructed a heterojunction structure. The removal efficiency was further enhanced by ultrasound. The immobilized photocatalyst floated on the water surface, enabling easy recovery.
A high-performance piezoelectric photocatalyst (V-BiOIO3/FTCN) was constructed to improve removal efficiency of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). The role of V-BiOIO3 in the composite was to introduce piezoelectric effect and construct S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst with fish scale tubular carbon nitride (FTCN). The morphology, structure, chemical composition and optoelectronic characteristics of the as-prepared photo -catalysts were studied by SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS and UV-Vis DRS. Combined with UV-Vis DRS, XPS valence band, Mott-schottky curve and theoretical calculations, the mechanism of TCH degradation was deeply analyzed. A series of degradation experiments showed that the V-BiOIO3/FTCN could effectively degrade TCH, and the removal efficiency was further improved under the action of ultrasound. Importantly, the further immobilized V-BiOIO3/FTCN/MS could float on the water surface to degrade TCH without additional stirring, which facilitated the recovery of photocatalysts and showed excellent practical application value. This work provided a reference for the design and immobilization of carbon nitride-based piezoelectric photocatalysts.

Lottery preference and stock market participation: evidence from China

Tingting Zhang, Desheng Wei, Zhifeng Liu, Xihao Wu

Summary: This paper examines the effects of lottery preference on stock market participation at the macro level and finds that lottery preference increases people's propensity to enter and trade in the stock market, with high lottery preference having a more significant impact on trading behavior. However, lottery preference has no significant effect on stockholding.

Design of a highly efficient Cu-based catalyst with two functional areas: The role of Cu0 and oxygen vacancies in Fenton-like system

Cui Lai, Lu Yang, Ling Li, Dengsheng Ma, Min Cheng, Shiyu Liu, Mingming Zhang, Huchuan Yan, Chensi Tang, Zhexin Chen, Lin Tang

Summary: In this study, a novel strategy was proposed to reduce the input of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the Fenton process. The designed Cu catalyst (G-Cu) with two functional regions (Cu0 and OVs) was able to produce H2O2 in situ and promote its activation over the catalyst surface. This strategy resulted in higher degradation efficiency of oxytetracycline (OTC) with a smaller dosage of H2O2.

Qingyun He, Chenhui Zhao, Lin Tang, Zhifeng Liu, Binbin Shao, Qinghua Liang, Ting Wu, Yuan Pan, Jiajia Wang, Yang Liu, Shehua Tong, Tianjue Hu

Summary: Social development is often accompanied by pollution caused by technological progress. Antibiotics, as an essential resource of modern medical treatment, have become a hot topic in terms of environmental pollution. In this study, fish scales were used to synthesize a biochar catalyst (FS-BC) for degrading tetracycline hydrochloride. FS-BC demonstrated the best catalytic performance due to its excellent defect structure and the synergy of N, P heteroatoms. This research not only provides a reference for biochar selection, but also suggests a superior strategy for TC degradation in the environment.

Catalytic thermal degradation of tetracycline based on iron-based MOFs and annealed derivative in dark condition

Hui Chen, Tao Cai, Wanyue Dong, Jiajia Wang, Yutang Liu, Wenlu Li, Xinxian Xia, Lin Tang

Summary: Excessive use of tetracycline in livestock farming has caused serious pollution. A new method proposed the catalytic thermal degradation of tetracycline using iron-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and studied the mechanism. The annealing derivatives of three Fe-based MOFs showed better degradation performance than the raw materials due to the exposure of Fe-O clusters and the formation of oxygen vacancies. The optimum sample exhibited a degradation efficiency of 94.22% for tetracycline within 60 minutes at 70 degrees C.

Jin He, Zhihong Peng, Jiaqing Zeng, Chuxuan Li, Lu Tang, Jun Jiang, Xinghua Luo, Wenyan Gao, Junkang Guo, Binbin Shao, Shengguo Xue

Summary: The abandoned smelters in southern China have led to serious environmental and health hazards. A study on an abandoned zinc smelter in the region found high concentrations of heavy metals in soil samples, with zinc, cadmium, lead, and arsenic contamination being the most severe. Surface runoff, surface solid waste, atmospheric deposition, and parent material were identified as the main sources of heavy metals. Surface solid waste was identified as the priority control factor for human health risk, but only accounted for a small percentage of the metal contents. Mercury posed the highest ecological risk, while lead and arsenic contributed to non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks respectively. The findings emphasize the need for prioritizing control factors in the integrated management and cost-effective soil remediation of the region.
