Summary: High-efficiency and environmental electro-catalysts for water oxidation were prepared, including nitrogen doping-carbon quantum dots (N-CQD) and NiCo-layered double hydroxide (LDH). The morphologies of NiCo-LDH were influenced by the Ni:Co molar ratios, with the optimized ratio being 1:1. Combining N-CQDs with NiCo-LDH improved electro-catalytic activity for water oxidation, attributed to the rapid electron transfer capabilities of N-CQDs.

Summary: NiCo layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanowire arrays were grown on carbon fabric via hydro-thermal processes, then annealed into NiCo2O4 nanowire arrays at 350 degrees C, and finally melted into NiCo2 particles at 800 degrees C. The influence of these NiCo compounds on the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance of carbon fabric was investigated. The results showed that LDH nanowire arrays enhanced the microwave attenuation of carbon fabric, while NiCo2O4 nanowire arrays improved the shielding effectiveness of carbon fabric mainly through multiple reflections. Only NiCo2 particles could improve the surface reflection and enhance internal absorption simultaneously, leading to a composite with better EMI shielding performance.

Summary: Bacterial infections, especially Gram-negative ones, have become a growing problem due to antibiotic resistance. Nanozymes offer a promising solution by using reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill bacteria. In this study, NiCo layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanozymes were synthesized and shown to selectively kill Gram-negative bacteria through their peroxide-like (POD-like) activity. Ni4Co6 LDHs exhibited the highest POD and antibacterial activity, and were able to selectively sterilize Gram-negative bacteria through electrostatic adsorption and hydrophilic interactions with the bacterial cell wall. Animal experiments demonstrated effective healing of G(-) bacteria-infected wounds without harming normal tissues. This research provides a new direction for the application of nanozymes.

Summary: In this study, hierarchically structured Cr-doped NiCo-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) nanoplates chemically grown on the surface of nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (NiCoCr LDH/N-rGO) were reported for bifunctional electrocatalysts of RZABs.

As a result, the RZAB with NiCoCr LDH/N-rGO catalyst exhibited higher power density and better cycling stability compared to Pt/C+RuO2.

Summary: A magnetically separable manganese-based spinel ferrite (MFO-LIBs) synthesized from spent ternary lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) shows enhanced degradation activity for bisphenol A (BPA) through peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. The improvement in activity is attributed to the doping of metals from spent LIBs, resulting in structural and surface property changes. The MFO-LIBs/PMS system exhibits excellent performance under high-salinity, humic acid, and alkaline conditions. The material can be easily separated and has wide applicability and regeneration ability. Moreover, the cost of BPA degradation is lower compared to other spinel ferrite activator/PMS systems.

Summary: In this study, solar drying technology was used for the deep dewatering of coal slime, resulting in energy savings and reduced dust production. The influence of solar radiation intensity and slime thickness on the drying process was investigated, and it was found that higher radiation intensity and thinner slime led to faster drying efficiency. By analyzing energy utilization under different conditions, optimal drying conditions were determined, and it was found that a target moisture content of 10% and a laying thickness of 1 cm achieved the highest energy utilization and solar thermal efficiency. Economic calculations and analysis showed that solar drying was more cost-effective than hot air drying, making it a promising method for coal slime drying.

Summary: By hybridizing TiO2 photocatalyst with CaCO3 as the wall material and using linseed oil as the core material, self-cleaning and self-repairing microcapsules were produced using in-situ precipitation. The microcapsules were evaluated for their morphology, chemical composition, thermal stability, and self-cleaning and self-repairing properties. Results showed that the microcapsules had a rough and spherical surface, along with excellent thermal stability and repeatability. Increasing the dosage of microcapsules significantly increased the degradation rate of methylene blue, while the self-repairing effect of micro-cracks became more evident. The optimal microcapsule dosage was found to be 7.0 wt%.
