Monodisperse Ni-clusters anchored on carbon nitride for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

The active sites of monodisperse transition metal Ni-clusters were anchored on carbon nitride(CN)by an in situ photoreduction deposition method to promote the efficient separation of photogenerated charges and achieve high-efficiency photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution.The Ni-cluster/CN exhibited a photocatalytic hydrogen production rate of 16.5 mmol·h^(-1)·g^(-1) and a total turnover frequency(TOF(H_(2)))value of 461.14 h^(-1).X-ray absorption spectroscopy based on synchrotron radiation indicated that CN had two reaction centers to form stable interface interactions with monodispersed Ni-clusters,in which carbon can act as an electron acceptor,while nitrogen can act as an electron donor.Meanwhile,the hybrid electronic structure of the Ni-cluster/CN system was constructed,which was favorable for photocatalytic activity for hydrogen production.An in-depth understanding of the interfacial interaction between CN and Ni-clusters will have important reference significance on the mechanistic study of development based on the cocatalyst.

Study on the Properties of Esterified Corn Starch/Polylactide Biodegradable Blends

Fully bio-based and biodegradable starch/polylactic acid blends have received increasing attentions for their biodegradability and potential to offset the use of unsustainable fossil resources,specifically,their application in packaging.Herein,corn starch was first esterified with maleic anhydride and then compounded with polylactide(PLA)to prepare esterified corn starch/polylactic acid blends with starch content up to 35 wt%.The structures,morphologies,thermal and mechanical properties of starch or blends were investigated.The results showed that corn starch was successfully grafted with maleic anhydride,which showed increased crystallinity and particle size than native starch.Esterified corn starch/polylactic acid blends showed good surficial compatibility and good thermal stability with main decomposition temperature in the range of 300℃to 400℃.Additionally,incorporation of corn starch increased the hydrophilicity and water uptake of composites.However,the tensile and flexural strengths of blends decreased with increasing esterified starch amount.

Study on the Cause and Dynamics of Seawater Intrusion in Laizhou Bay

In this paper, we conduct research on the cause and dynamics of seawater intrusion in the Laizhou bay. To consider modelling the Laizhou bay, we should then take the listed tools into consideration. In actual engineering, wave is a complicated stochastic process. If the numerical value of wave model is a little too large, the wave attenuation should be considered sufficiently, such as wave refraction caused by terrain change, wave attenuation due to submarine friction, wave into the very shallow waters of the broken and small wind area. We integrate the current conition of the Laizhou bay and the further model the seawater intrusion steps. The uncertainty research of ground water solute migration is at present a ground water research area quite popular topic, but the seawater intrusion is the variable density class solute migration issue, applies the uncertainty analysis of seawater intrusion simulation also to have certain difficulty the existing research results. In the future, more simulation will be down to verify the effectiveness.

Effective peroxydisulfate activation by CQDs-MnFe_(2)O_(4)@ZIF-8 catalyst for complementary degradation of bisphenol A by free radicals and non-radical pathways

The present study reported fabrication of novel carbon quantum dots-MnFe_(2)O_(4)@ZIF-8(CQDs-MFO@ZIF-8)by using co-precipitation hydrothermal method for activation of peroxydisulfate(PDS)to degrade bisphenol A(BPA),one of important emerging organic pollutants in water environment.CQDs-MFO@ZIF-8 served as a highly efficient thermal activated PDS catalyst with high catalytic degradation efficiency,reusability and stability.The catalyst achieved almost completely removal of 20.0 mg/L BPA within 5.0 min,and the degradation efficiency remained higher than 83%after 5 consecutive cycles.Free radicals(^(·)OH,SO_(4)^(·-)and^(·)O_(2)^(-))and non-free radicals((1)O_(2))were generated in the thermal PDS-activation system,in which singlet oxygen((1)O_(2))played a dominant role in the degradation of BPA.The potential toxicity of BPA degradation intermediates was analyzed upon the culture of E.coli and Chlorella sorokiniana by using Ecological Structure-Activity Relationship Model(ECOSAR)program.The catalytic performances of BPA degradation by CQDs-MFO@ZIF-8 were evaluated for treatment of different practical water samples to further verify the feasibility of practical applications.This study provides proof-in-concept demonstration of new nanomaterials for enhanced catalytic water decontamination.
