Summary: Developing a hydrogen economy is crucial for sustainable human development. Photocatalytic and electrocatalytic water splitting, as promising H-2 production strategies, face challenges in efficiency and overpotentials. This study proposes a new strategy, utilizing mixed halide perovskite photocatalytic HI splitting for H-2 production and simultaneous electrocatalytic I-3(-) reduction and O-2 production. Efficient charge separation, abundant active sites, and a small energy barrier contribute to superior H-2 production activity. The molar ratio of H-2 to O-2 produced during the first cycle is close to 2:1, and continuous circulation achieves efficient and robust pure water splitting.

Summary: In this study, a layered nitro-halide beta-ZrNBr with a narrow band gap and low defect density was synthesized. The material exhibited multifunctionalities for photocatalytic water reduction, water oxidation, and CO2 reduction under visible-light irradiation. The formation of anion vacancies in the nitro-halide photocatalyst was inhibited, leading to improved performance. Furthermore, exfoliation into nanosheets promoted carrier transfer and charge separation. This work expands the territory of functional photocatalysts and provides a new avenue for efficient artificial photosynthesis.

Summary: The single-atom loading of non-precious transition metals (M = Ti, V, Mn, and Fe) on the (100) surface of SrTiO3 (STO) was theoretically studied to assess the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with the Gibbs free energy for hydrogen adsorption (Delta GH*). V1-STO showed a competitive Delta GH* value of -0.08 eV, comparable to metallic Pt (-0.09 eV). The d band center explained the primary screening of single-atom non-precious transition metals on STO. Furthermore, strain engineering was utilized to enhance the HER performance of V1-STO. Tensile strain increased Delta GH*, while compressed strain decreased Delta GH*. A new descriptor of the d orbital splitting (epsilon d-gap) was proposed to elucidate the optimization of HER performance due to surface strains. This work introduces a combined strategy to evaluate HER performance and offers guidance for the sequential design of HER catalysts.

Summary: This study proposes a correction algorithm based on analyzing steam condensation locations to solve the problem of large errors in calculating the heat transfer of air-cooling condenser (ACC) in Fluent. By building an accurate geometric model of the ACC and simplifying the heat-sinking tube bundle using radiator boundary conditions, Fluent software was used to calculate the heat transfer of the ACC under winter operating conditions. The calculated results were then corrected using the proposed algorithm, reducing the errors from 4.20% to 36.98% to 0.01% to 1.79%. The correction algorithm improves the accuracy by considering the steam condensation positions and can be applied to indirect air-cooling generator sets for anti-freezing guidance.

Summary: Plastic pollution is a serious environmental problem, and the inert nature of plastic makes it difficult to degrade. In this study, supercritical CO2 (Sc-CO2) assisted by NaOH/HCl solution was used to degrade polystyrene (PS) plastic under mild conditions. The factors affecting PS degradation efficiency were found to be reaction temperature, reaction time, and NaOH/HCl concentration. The use of Sc-CO2 created a homogeneous environment, promoting the degradation of PS. Furthermore, the addition of NaOH/HCl solution improved the solubility of PS in Sc-CO2 and reduced the activation energy of the reaction, leading to enhanced degradation efficiency. Overall, degrading PS in Sc-CO2 with the assistance of a base/acid solution is feasible and provides a reference for the future disposal of waste plastics.
