Summary: Plasma therapy is an exciting and novel cancer treatment method that can be influenced by treatment time and different parameters. Changing the polarity of the reactor can alter the plasma discharge regime, thereby directly affecting the treatment effectiveness. This treatment method can induce cell death, which is not completely counteracted by N-acetyl cysteine. Gene expression analysis also identified key genes associated with plasma-induced cell death.

Summary: A next generation of wearable self-powered wound dressing is developed, which can be activated by diverse stimuli from the patient's body and provide on-demand treatment for both normal and infected wounds. The dressing utilizes thermocatalytic bismuth telluride nanoplates (Bi2Te3 NPs) functionalized onto carbon fiber fabric electrodes, generating hydrogen peroxide to effectively inhibit bacterial growth at the wound site. The integrated electrodes connected to a wearable triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) accelerate wound closure by enhancing cellular proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. This self-powered dressing has great potential in personalized and user-friendly wound care with improved healing outcomes.

Summary: This study demonstrates an electrochemical advanced oxidation process (EAOP) that can simultaneously catalyze the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) to generate atomic hydrogen (H*) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in situ. By using a palladium-coated carbon-PTFE gas diffusion electrode (Pd/C GDE) as a catalytic cathode, hydroxyl radicals ((OH)-O-center dot) can be formed by the reaction of electrogenerated H* with H2O2. The H*/GDE process is more effective in degrading organic contaminants compared to the conventional H*/H2O2 process.

Summary: The study shows that the high-voltage direct current electrochemical technique can effectively treat chlorinated aromatic ring compounds, such as 2,4,5-T, by oxidizing and degrading the target compounds through the formation of active species and radicals. Using iron electrodes in combination with the electrochemical Fenton reaction can further enhance the degradation efficiency. By controlling technological factors and conditions such as air flow, the performance of the treatment process can be optimized.

Summary: In this study, P-doped CN photocatalyst with high efficiency for H2O2 production was successfully synthesized using a simple one-step calcination method. The mechanism of H2O2 production over P-CN was revealed through density functional theory calculations, showing that P-doping promotes the adsorption of O-2 on CN and enhances the formation of intermediate products. Experimental results confirmed that P-doping suppresses electron and hole recombination, leading to improved photocatalytic performance of P-doped CN.

Summary: Surface bubbles on the electrode can greatly enhance the electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide by a two-electron water oxidation reaction. Contrary to previous assumptions, surface bubbles actually improve the electrochemical reaction due to the high concentration of OH- accumulated by the bubbles. By designing aerophilic PVDF-coated CFP electrodes, the residence time of surface bubbles was prolonged, leading to an increase in 2e-WOR selectivity from 16.3% to 62.5% and a high H2O2 generation rate of 28.4 μmol min(-1) cm(-2). This study challenges conventional thinking about the impact of bubbles on electrodes and provides a theoretical guideline for designing 2-WOR catalysts.

Summary: In this study, pulsed dielectric barrier discharges (DBD) in He-H2O and He-H2O-O-2 mixtures were investigated using temporally and spatially resolved quantitative 2D imaging of the hydroxyl radical (OH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The main findings revealed that the addition of 5% O-2 decreased the OH densities and increased the H2O2 densities, while the H2O2 in the He-H2O-O-2 mixture showed relatively little sensitivity to the additional pulses.

Summary: This study investigates the degradation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in landfill leachate using a thin-water-film nonthermal plasma reactor. The removal percentage of PFAS depends on their category, with perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) having the highest removal percentage. The presence of landfill leachate components has minimal impact on PFOA mineralization. Intermediate PFAS species were identified and the degradation pathway suggests a stepwise removal of difluoromethylene (CF2). Non-targeted Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) successfully identified potential PFAS species in raw and treated leachates.
