Summary: This study fabricates 0D/2D/2D NCDs/TiO2/Ti3C2Mx photocatalyst via hydrothermal route for the first time and explores the synergistic effect of MXene and NCDs in enhancing the photocatalytic performance of TiO2 nanosheets. The results show that the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and tetracycline hydrochloride degradation of 0.1 NCDs/TiO2/Ti3C2Mx-12 h are significantly higher than those of TiO2. The surface termination dominated electronic property of MXene and the synergistic interfacial charge kinetics steering play crucial roles in the photocatalytic enhancement.

Summary: By designing a Pd/Cu2O/TiO2 ternary hybrid photocatalyst, high-efficiency and highly selective photocatalytic reduction of CO2 into CH4 is achieved, with a CH4 production rate of 42.8 mu mol g(-1) h(-1) and a selectivity of 99.5%. This is attributed to the consecutive multistep charge transfer between the Cu2O/TiO2 heterojunction and Pd in the hybrid catalyst, leading to a spatially separated electron-enriched surface (Pd) and hole-enriched surface (Cu2O) that contribute to the high conversion rate and selectivity of CH4.

Summary: Accelerating charge separation and transfer and increasing visible light absorption are crucial for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production via water splitting. In this study, we fabricated an in-plane graphited nanocarbon-conjugated polymeric carbon nitride (GNC-C3N4) nanosheet heterostructure photocatalyst for the first time. The incorporation of GNC into the conjugate network of C3N4 significantly enhanced light harvesting and improved charge separation and transfer through the built-in electric field and intimate interface. The optimized GNC-C3N4 photocatalyst exhibited over 15-fold enhancement in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water under visible light irradiation compared to C3N4.

Summary: In this study, four novel derivatives of chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) were synthesized by grafting pyridine-4-aldehyde Schiff bases onto chloracetyl chitosan oligosaccharide (CACS). The structural characterization was conducted using FTIR and NMR. The COS derivatives showed better antioxidant and antibacterial activities compared to COS and CACS, which may be attributed to the positive charge of these derivatives. Among them, derivative BPCACS with the highest degree of substitution exhibited the best bioactivity with high scavenging rate and inhibition diameter.

Summary: Urban expansion has exacerbated the heat-island effect, but urban lakes can significantly alleviate this effect. The temperature of the lake is the main factor influencing the cooling efficiency, while the lake area and the distance to the city center are secondary factors. Lakes around the urban area have limited ability to absorb the high surface temperature caused by the heat-island effect, resulting in lower cooling efficiency compared to lakes in the main urban area.

Summary: This study reports a new Ruddlesden-Popper (R-P) structure oxide, which is widely used as the electrode material in low temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LT-SOFCs) due to its high catalytic activity and excellent oxygen transport performance. However, there are few reports on its application as the electrolyte material in LT-SOFCs. The researchers prepared a P-N heterostructure by using R-P P-type semiconductor Sm1.2Sr0.8Ni0.6Fe0.4O4+5 (SSNF) oxide material as the electrolyte and N-type semiconductor Sm0.075Nd0.075Ce0.85O2-5 (SNDC) oxide material as the cathode. The 5SSNF-5SNDC composite electrolyte exhibited a high ionic conductivity of 0.201 S.cm-1 and a remarkable fuel cell power density of 1056 mW.cm-2 at 550℃. The results indicate that P-N heterojunctions constructed from oxide materials with highly catalytically active R-P structures exhibit excellent electrolyte performance. This work provides a new perspective for developing advanced electrolytes of LT-SOFCs.

Summary: A series of Bronsted-Lewis acidic tetraimidazolyl ionic liquids ([TeimILs]) were designed and synthesized, and [Teim-PS] [AlCl4]4 showed good catalytic performance in the conversion of glucose to 5-HMF with a biphasic system. The catalyst could be reused multiple times without significant decrease in yield. The biphasic system facilitated catalyst recycling and separation of 5-HMF. The catalytic system also exhibited applicability to the degradation of other carbohydrate compounds, and had a low activation energy of 49.98 KJ/mol. This work provides a new solution for the efficient and green conversion of glucose to 5-HMF.

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.
