Summary: The characterization of acid sites on solid catalysts is important for understanding reaction mechanisms. In this study, 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine is found to be a suitable probe for characterizing weak Bronsted acidity. The results show that the area of a specific vibration band is correlated to the concentration of a specific element in the catalyst. The study also highlights the limitations of using pyridine as an IR probe molecule and NH3 TPD for acid site characterization.

Summary: Boehmite (gamma-AlOOH) nanorods and nanoplates were synthesized hydrothermally using tetrapropylammonium bromide (TPABr) to modify the pH values of solutions. The adsorption of different ions on specific surfaces resulted in the formation of either rod-like boehmite under acidic conditions or nanosheets under basic conditions. Calcination of the gamma-AlOOH precursors at 873 K led to the formation of gamma-Al2O3 nanorods and nanosheets with morphological effects on ethanol dehydration.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of BaO on the viscosity and structure evolution of CaO-SiO2-MgO-Al2O3-BaO slag. It was found that the addition of BaO could promote the transformation of structural units within the slag, but higher BaO content led to an increased polymerization degree. The results were supported by structural analysis techniques such as FTIR, Raman spectra, and 27Al MAS-NMR.

Summary: Blending metakaolin with slag in alkali-activated materials can achieve both acceptable engineering properties and durability. NMR spectroscopy is used to investigate the structure of alkali-activation products, but there is no consensus on the analysis of NMR spectra for identifying the phases formed in binary slag-metakaolin mixtures. This study characterizes the phase composition and reaction degree of alkali-activated metakaolin-slag blends, and shows that the incorporation of slag results in higher reactivity and compressive strength of metakaolin.

Summary: In this study, in situ high-pressure MAS NMR rotors were developed to investigate the reaction pathways of methanol reforming over Pt/a-MoC catalysts. The results showed that, besides direct decomposition of methanol, formaldehyde is also an active intermediate that reacts with methanol or H2O and further transforms into methyl formate or formic acid. CO2 and H2 production mainly occurs through a formic acid mediated mechanism.

Summary: The concentrations of terrestrially sourced dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic ecosystems have increased in recent decades. The mechanisms of organic matter-mineral interactions, one major pathway for soil organic matter sequestration, are not well understood. This study investigated the effect of calcium phosphate mineralization on humic acid (HA) fixation in simulated soil solutions with or without clay mineral montmorillonite (Mt). It was found that Mt promoted nucleation and crystallization of calcium phosphate, contributing to the long-term persistence and accumulation of HA. The findings highlight the crucial role of Mt in DOM sequestration and suggest knowledge gaps that can improve soil C sequestration.

Summary: We synthesized heterojunction structures of Co9S8/Ni3S2 nanowire arrays and amorphous goethite particles as efficient and stable bifunctional electrocatalysts for electrochemical overall water splitting. The interfacial charge inhomogeneity caused by the heterojunction contact generates a built-in electric field, favoring the hydrogen/oxygen evolution reactions. FeOOH/Co9S8/Ni3S2 exhibits impressive catalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction, achieving a large current density at low overpotential, and shows excellent stability for 1440 hours. Furthermore, the bifunctional FeOOH/Co9S8/Ni3S2 catalysts achieve an excellent OWS output.

Summary: Replacing the thermodynamically unfavorable water oxidation with hydrazine oxidation is considered advantageous for energy-saving hydrogen evolution and efficient disposal of hydrazine-rich wastewater. However, the lack of active bifunctional catalysts and limited understanding of hydrazine oxidation severely hinder its development. In this study, a metallic hierarchical Co/MoNi heterostructure was used to accelerate hydrazine oxidation and seawater reduction, resulting in significantly reduced electricity consumption and power expense. DFT calculations revealed the key role of the Co/MoNi heterostructure in promoting reaction kinetics. These findings contribute to the understanding of catalytic mechanisms and the design of fast-kinetic bifunctional catalysts for large-scale energy-saving hydrogen evolution and hydrazine-rich wastewater disposal.

Summary: With the advancement of nanotechnology, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) have emerged as promising medical tools with their precise navigation capability. However, simulating the motion mechanism, functional strategies, and adaptability of MNRs in complex dynamic environments remains challenging due to the complex biological interactions and limitations of current experimental methods. Finite element analysis (FEA) has become an effective method in MNR research by simulating the motion mechanism, proposing theoretical models combined with experimental results, and reducing experimental errors. This review introduces the design, driving mechanism, solutions for dynamic environments, and application of FEA in MNR research, summarizing the current challenges and future directions.

Summary: In this paper, an equivalence relationship of exponential stability is established among stochastic differential equations (SDEs), stochastic differential delay equations (SDDEs), and their corresponding Euler-Maruyama (EM) methods. It is shown that the exponential stability of these four stochastic processes can be deduced from each other if the delay or the step size is sufficiently small. Using this relationship, stability equivalence between SDEs (or SDDEs) and their numerical methods, as well as between delay differential (or difference) equations and the corresponding delay-free equations, can be obtained. This allows for careful numerical calculations to examine equation stability. Additionally, the stability problem for one equation can even be transformed into the stability problem for another if they are close in some sense. This idea provides flexibility in considering equation stability. Finally, an example is provided to illustrate the analytical outcomes.

Summary: The corrosion inhibitory potency of two new pyrimidine-pyrazole derivatives, PPA and PPC, was evaluated for mild steel in 1 M HCl. The results showed enhanced inhibition activities with increased concentration, reaching maximal values of 91.15% and 92.39% for PPA and PPC, respectively. However, the mitigation potency decreased with increasing temperature. SEM and XPS analysis revealed that PPA and PPC adsorbed on the mild steel surface, forming a shielding layer that prevented the dissolution of the steel in the acidic solution.
