In this study, nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) supported on layered double hydroxide (LDH) composite (LDH@nZVI) was prepared, characterized and applied to U(VI) scavenging in water. Removal of U(VI) as a function of pH, ionic strength, reaction time, initial concentrations of U(VI), and temperature were studied and compared with pure LDH and nZVI, the LDH@nZVI had best U(VI) removal efficiency owning to the excellent synergistic combination of LDH adsorption and nZVI reduction. XPS analysis found that surface oxygen functional groups and surface-bound Fe(II) played a critical role in U(VI) remediation. The large surface areas (334.0 m(2)/g), abundant functional groups (i.e., M-O, C-O and -OH), rapid kinetics (adsorption equilibrium within 1 h) and excellent adsorption capacities (176 mg/g) indicating that LDH@nZVI can be considered as a potential material for preconcentration of U(VI) from sewage water.

Shiang Liu, Yuwen Hu, Haojie Xu, Zhangrong Lou, Jianrong Chen, Cheng-Zong Yuan, Xingshuai Lv, Xiaoguang Duan, Shaobin Wang, Xi-Lin Wu

Summary: In this research, enzyme-mimicking single-atom catalyst was created by incorporating Co-N4 sites into graphite carbon nitride. The catalytic activity and selectivity of the EMSA-Co sites were similar to natural enzymes, and they showed excellent performance in activating persulfate under visible light. The EMSA-Co-g-C3N4 + PS + Vis system exhibited a BPA degradation rate 33 times faster than the g-C3N4 + PS + Vis system. The high reactivity and selectivity of EMSA-Co sites led to efficient generation of radical species, resulting in the rapid elimination of various organic pollutants. Mechanistic studies showed that the directional ultrafast electron transfer in EMSA-Co nanozyme accelerated the redox circulation of Co single sites, enhancing their performance in photo-Fenton-like reactions. This study opens up new possibilities for the use of robust and efficient enzyme-like single-atom catalysts in environmental remediation.

Meng Xie, Mengxian Lin, Chao Feng, Zhejun Liu, Yanchao Xu, Nana Wang, Xiao Zhang, Yang Jiao, Jianrong Chen

Summary: To overcome the collapse of structure and sluggish reaction kinetics of MnO2 in aqueous Zn-ion batteries, researchers prepared Zn2+ doped MnO2 nanowires with rich oxygen vacancies using a hydrothermal method combined with plasma technology. The doped nanowires stabilized the interlayer structure of MnO2 and provided additional specific capacity as electrolyte ions. Plasma treatment optimized the electronic structure and improved the electrochemical behavior of the cathode materials. The optimized Zn/Zn-MnO2 batteries showed outstanding specific capacity and cycling durability, and the H+ and Zn2+ reversible co-insertion/extraction energy storage system of the battery was revealed. The plasma treatment also optimized the diffusion control behavior of the electrode materials. This research proposes a synergistic strategy of element doping and plasma technology to enhance the electrochemical behaviors of MnO2 cathode and provides insights for the design of high-performance manganese oxide-based cathodes for ZIBs.

Prediction of phosphate adsorption amount, capacity and kinetics via machine learning: A generally physical-based process and proposed strategy of using descriptive text messages to enrich datasets

Baiqin Zhou, Huiping Li, Ziyu Wang, Hui Huang, Yujun Wang, Ruichun Yang, Ranran Huo, Xiaoyan Xu, Ting Zhou, Xiaochen Dong

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
