Summary: Soil salinity has a significant impact on agricultural production, especially in low-lying coastal areas where saltwater intrusion is a growing concern. Monitoring salinity is challenging due to the influence of soil moisture on the soil's spectral signature. The study found that Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy can be used to map salt-affected soils, particularly in inaccessible areas. Advancements in thermal satellite sensors may provide possibilities for monitoring soil salinity in the future.

Summary: Accelerating permafrost thaw increases organic matter availability in high-latitude ecosystems. The chemical composition of permafrost-derived organic matter influences microbial metabolic efficiency, which can determine the Arctic's role as a carbon sink or a source of greenhouse gases. This study investigated shifts in soil and dissolved organic matter chemistry during a thaw experiment, and found that permafrost depth and enzyme activities correlated with changes in organic matter chemistry. Understanding these patterns can help improve projections of Arctic carbon storage during global change.

Summary: This study used in-situ infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction to investigate the structural development of synthetic calcium silicate hydrates with different calcium contents. A baseline correction method initially developed for X-ray diffractograms was successfully adapted for in-situ IR, leading to improved signal quality and reproducibility. The separate silicate infrared bands were monitored over 24 hours, showing the development of oligomeric and dimeric species and revealing insights into the correlation between silicate polymerization and unit cell changes in calcium silicate hydrate. Comparisons with Si-29-MAS-NMR highlighted the advantages of in-situ IR spectroscopy.

Summary: This study investigated the setting performance of alkali-activated slag (AAS) pastes prepared with different activators. The results showed that a higher concentration of sodium hydroxide (NH) activator led to a more rapid setting reaction and the formation of more calcium-aluminosilicate-hydrate (C A S H) in AAS. In AAS prepared with carbonate-rich activators, early-age precipitation of carbonate phases contributed to the initial setting completion, while C A S H precipitation played a decisive role in final setting realization. In NS-activated slag systems, a relatively high silica modulus in activators facilitated the plasticity loss of fluid paste due to the early precipitation of C A S H products.

Summary: The sintering process is crucial for nickel hollow fiber membranes (NHFMs), and optimizing the sintering conditions significantly affects the hydrogen permeability and qualified rate of the membranes. This study extensively investigates the effects of sintering conditions on microstructure and hydrogen permeation of NHFMs. Results show that smaller metal grain size leads to enhanced hydrogen permeability, and sintering temperatures significantly affect the grain size and activation energy. Increasing sintering time and hydrogen concentration have minor effects on grain size and hydrogen permeation.

Summary: We demonstrate a composite photocatalyst for nitric oxide conversion with a Cu-Fe alloy, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), and ZnIn2S4. The superior photocatalytic performance of 6.45-fold that of g-C3N4 was confirmed. The delay effect on charge recombination was observed through time-resolved photoluminescence, and heterojunction establishment was attributed to the hole-trapping ability of ZnIn2S4. The combined effects of the Cu-Fe alloy were confirmed by NO-specific adsorption and conversion experiments, and the active species involved were examined via electron spin resonance. Density functional theory calculations revealed the molecular mechanisms of photocatalytic conversion of NO to NO3-. Therefore, g-C3N4|ZnIn2S4|CuFe has potential for sustainable and efficient pollutant conversion.

Summary: In this study, a La0.8Ca0.2Fe0.94O3-6-0.05Ag (LCF-Ag) hollow fiber membrane with three-layer sandwich structure was successfully prepared. The oxygen permeation flux of the membrane structure was 1.79 times higher than that of the traditional membrane structure, with a maximum oxygen flux of 2.15 mL min-1 cm-2. The membrane showed high stability during a 240-hour long-term operation, and the oxygen flux could be fully recovered by switching the sweep gas to He, indicating its good chemical stability. These results demonstrate the feasibility of the new membrane structure for oxygen separation with CO2 resistance.

Summary: With the development of metallurgy, chemical manufacturing, and mining, lead pollution in water, especially from battery industries, has become a serious environmental problem. In this study, a highly efficient removal of Pb2+ from wastewater was achieved using MoO2@N-doped hollow carbon sphere (MoO2@ NHCS) anodes in a capacitive deionization (CDI) process. The MoO2@NHCS electrodes exhibited a high adsorption capacity of 202.14 mg/g for Pb2+ in a 50 ppm solution (pH = 6 and U = 1.2 V). Additionally, the electrodes showed selectivity towards Pb2+ even in the presence of Na+ and other heavy metal ions. The selective removal was attributed to the transformation of octahedral MoO2 into tetrahedral [MoO4]2-, which could effectively trap Pb2+ to form PbMoO4.

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.
