Summary: In this study, dithiocarbamate functionalized activated carbon (DTC-AC) was synthesized and its adsorption performance for heavy metals Pb(II), Cu(II), and Cd(II) was investigated. The results showed that DTC-AC had higher heavy metal adsorption capacity, and pH played an important role in heavy metal removal. The adsorption equilibrium was reached within 20 minutes. The Langmuir model best described the adsorption performance of DTC-AC, with a maximum single metal uptake of 203.36 mg g(-1) for Pb(II). Thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption process of heavy metals onto DTC-AC was spontaneous and endothermic. This study demonstrated the potential of DTC-AC in remediating heavy metal pollution.

Summary: By adjusting the etching conditions of Ni2+, Co-ZIF-L templated CoNi-LDH with diverse morphologies and tailorable compositions are obtained, and their electrochemical properties are optimized. The etching conditions significantly affect the disassembling rate of Co-ZIF-L and the formation rate of CoNi-LDH, resulting in the morphological and compositional variance of the etched samples and their distinct electrochemical activities. The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor, composed of Co-ZIF-L derived CoNi-LDH and activated carbon, achieves a maximum energy density of 77.3 Wh/kg at a power density of 700 W/kg with a capacity retention of 85.7% after 2000 cycles, superior or comparable to other advanced CoNi-LDH based supercapacitors.

Summary: Different ligand functionalized UiO-66 materials were modified with ZnIn2S4 to form ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-X heterostructures for visible-light-driven H2O2 evolution in water. The H2O2 yields of ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-NH2, ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-(OH)2 and ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-OH were 799, 733, and 165 μmol L-1, respectively, much higher than that of ZnIn2S4/UiO-66. The outstanding performance is attributed to their visible-light response and Z-scheme heterostructures, and the H2O2 evolution follows an indirect O-2 reduction process with O-2(-) as an intermediate species. Moreover, ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-NH2 showed comparable H2O2 yields in tap water and Xuanwu Lake water compared to deionized water. This study highlights the potential of functionalized MOFs in green (photo)catalytic energy conversion.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
