Summary: In this study, a unique nanohybrid ternary g-C3N4/ZnFe2O4/UiO-66 was successfully prepared using a hydrothermal synthesis technique. The characterization methods confirmed the properties of the prepared nanocomposite. The use of UiO-66 resulted in an expansion of the total surface area of the photocatalyst, improving the degradation of Rhodamine B dye. The improved photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the spatial separation of charge carriers between the suggested materials. The synthesized nanocomposites also showed magnetic properties, making them useful for the separation and collection of the photocatalyst. This nanohybrid ternary can be recycled without apparent loss of its photocatalytic performance, making it a favorable replacement for the treatment of dye pollutants in wastewater.

Summary: Element doping is an effective method for enhancing the photocatalytic performance of photocatalysts. This study utilized potassium sorbate as a new precursor to dope potassium ions into g-C3N4 during the calcination process, resulting in the formation of potassium-doped g-C3N4 (KCN). Through various characterization techniques and electrochemical measurements, it was found that potassium doping efficiently modified the band structure of g-C3N4, enhancing light absorption and conductivity, which accelerated charge transfer and photogenerated carrier separation. These findings demonstrate the potential of potassium incorporation in g-C3N4 for fabricating high-performance photocatalysts for organic pollutant removal.

Summary: A series of metal-nitrogen-carbon single-atom aerogels (M-SAAs) were synthesized to address the agglomeration and poor electrical conductivity issues of single-atom catalysts (SACs). These aerogels, which combine the advantages of metal organic frameworks and carbon aerogels, exhibited excellent catalytic performance and stability as self-supporting electrodes in the electrochemical dechlorination reaction. The Cu-SAA was particularly noteworthy, with a high ethylene production rate, selectivity, and Faradaic efficiency. Theoretical calculations were also conducted to understand the selectivity and activity of different metal active sites. This work provides a new strategy for the development of highly effective SACs and contributes to a deeper understanding of electrochemical dechlorination reactions.

Summary: In this study, a crystalline nickel-cobalt phosphides/amorphous phosphorous-incorporated manganese oxides composite was developed as an efficient, durable, and multifunctional catalyst for urea oxidation reaction (UOR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline solution. The composite exhibited excellent UOR activity and HER performance, as well as long-term stability. The outstanding catalytic performance was attributed to the incorporation of Co into the NiPx system, which lowered the oxidation potential of Ni2+, leading to the enrichment of UOR-oriented active component on the electrode surface. In addition, the excellent electrical conductivity and electron-transfer ability of CoNiPx, along with the unique configuration of a-P-MnOy and c-CoNiPx, contributed to enhanced reactant adsorption and long-term stabilities towards UOR and HER.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
