Summary: Adsorption experiments on As2O3 on gamma-Al2O3 surfaces showed that O-2 concentration and temperature have significant effects, with As(V) being the primary adsorption product at high temperatures. Density functional theory calculations revealed the adsorption mechanism, showing stronger adsorption ability on O-2/gamma-Al2O3 surfaces and a distinction between strong chemical adsorption and physical adsorption. Additionally, thermodynamic analysis indicated chemical adsorption at 573-1073 K with decreasing stability at higher temperatures. Overall, the role of O-2 on As2O3 capture and potential control strategies for arsenic emissions were elucidated through experimental and simulation results.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of W and Mo modification on arsenic adsorption over Cu/gamma-Al2O3 catalyst. Results showed that W and Mo modification improved the NO conversion activities at low temperatures and reduced the arsenic adsorption on Cu/gamma-Al2O3 catalyst. W modification had a stronger promotion effect on arsenic resistance compared to Mo modification, and the proportion of As5+ on the W-Cu/gamma-Al2O3 surface was larger than that on the Mo-Cu/gamma-Al2O3 surface. Theoretical simulations revealed that Al2O3 adsorption on Mo-Cu/gamma-Al2O3 surface was stronger than that on W-Cu/gamma-Al2O3 surface.

Summary: In this study, α-Al2O3/BC (activated alumina biochar composites) were synthesized using the sol-gel method. The composites addressed the issue of the surface charge of α-Al2O3 not being conducive to the removal of heavy metal cations in neutral solutions. The feasibility of using α-Al2O3/BC for the removal of Pb(II) and the reuse of Pb-laden waste sludge for phosphorus (P) removal were explored, along with the micro-adsorption mechanisms involved. The results showed that α-Al2O3/BC had a maximum adsorption capacity of 182.48 mg/g for Pb(II) and a removing capacity of 87.13 mg/g for P when using recycled Pb-laden slag. XPS, XRD, and FTIR analysis revealed that special functional groups on the composites, such as hydroxy-aluminum, hydroxyl, and carboxyl groups, played a role in the adsorption of Pb(II) through surface complexation and electrostatic attraction.

Summary: In this study, a strategy for fabricating angstrom-scale ion channels through the growth of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into nanochannels is reported. These nanochannels exhibit higher ion conductivity and mobility than MOF channels with hybrid pore configurations and sizes. Furthermore, the three-dimensional (3D) MOF channels demonstrate better ion sieving properties compared to one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) MOF channels. This research provides a platform for studying ion transport properties at angstrom-scale confinement and offers guidelines for improving ionic separations and nanofluidics efficiency.

Summary: Understanding the ion transport in concentrated electrolytes is important. This study demonstrates an enhanced ion transport of water-in-salt (WIS) electrolytes in 2D nanochannel membranes. The mechanism involves a stratification process induced by functional groups, where a free anion layer moves between two continuous water-cation layers. Lithium-ion batteries with this confined electrolyte showed improved capacity and coulombic efficiency. This work provides new insights into the ion transport mechanism in nanoconfined concentrated electrolytes and offers strategies for designing high-performance and safe electrolytes for energy and environmental devices.

Summary: Chiral separation membranes have great potential for separating racemic mixtures into enantiopure components, but fabricating scalable membranes with both high selectivity and flux is challenging. In this study, a new type of enantioselective membrane was prepared using enantiopure S-poly(2,4-dimethyl-2-oxazoline) macromonomers and supported by graphene oxide nanosheets. The S-PdMeOx-based membrane showed near-quantitative enantiomeric excess and a high flux. This work demonstrates the potential of homochiral polymers in chiral discrimination and provides a new route to develop highly efficient enantioselective membranes.

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.
