Summary: Spent tyre activated carbon (STAC) shows excellent performance in dye adsorption, heavy metal removal and flue gas cleaning, outperforming commercial activated carbon (CAC) in certain applications despite lower surface areas. STAC's enhanced performance is attributed to high mesoporosity, low surface pH, and acidic surface functional groups. Steam activated STAC has comparable results to CAC in terms of surface area and pore volume, making them cleaner and sustainable alternatives to conventional products.

Summary: The removal of reactive red M-2BE dye from aqueous solution using multi-walled carbon nanotubes and powdered activated carbon was studied. Machine learning algorithms were used to model the kinetic adsorption, and the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) were employed to interpret the effect of each feature on the adsorption capacity. The results showed that the ANFIS model had the best statistical metrics, and temperature had the least contribution in describing the adsorption capacity. This novel application provides important insights for adsorption research.

Summary: This study evaluated the adsorption of zolpidem on magnetic graphene oxide and synthesized magnetic graphene oxide adsorbents for zolpidem removal. The best magnetic nanoadsorbent was found to have a removal percentage of 87.07% at specific pH and temperature conditions. The results suggest that the removal of zolpidem is related to the surface chemistry of the adsorbent rather than the surface area of graphene oxide. The adsorbent showed excellent adsorption efficiency and magnetic behavior, making it a promising material for removing zolpidem from aqueous solutions.

Summary: In this report, we synthesized substituted indolizines using ultrasound irradiation in a one-pot and multicomponent strategy, and studied their photophysical properties. The compounds exhibited absorption maxima in the UV-A-violet region and their electronic transitions were related to allowed 1 pi ->pi* transitions. Indolizines showed fluorescence in the violet-to-green region, and the ground and excited states were influenced by the substituents in the indolizine core. The role of solvent in the deactivation of excited states was critical for exploring these compounds as optical sensors for benzene.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

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.
