Layered double hydroxides:Scale production and application in soil remediation as super-stable mineralizer

Soil contamination by heavy metals has presented severe risks to human health through food chain.As one of the most promising remediation technologies,in-situ immobilization strategy has been widely adopted in practice.However,considering the large quantities of contaminated soil,it is still a huge challenge to design low-cost amendments with strong and long-term immobilization ability.Layered double hydroxides(LDHs)have drawn tremendous attention in fundamental research and practical application because of their unique properties.Moreover,owing to its super-stable mineralization effect to heavy metal ions,LDHs have exhibited great potential in the field of soil remediation.In this work,we mainly focused on the scale production strategy of LDHs with low-cost,and its application in soil remediation.Besides,several key challenges in using LDHs as amendments for immobilization of heavy metal ions are presented.We hope that this mini-review could shed light on the sustainable development of LDHs as amendment for heavy metals in future research directions.

Fluctuation Limits of the Single Point Catalytic Super-stable Processes

We prove a fluctuating limit theorem of a sequence of super-stable processes overR with a single point catalyst.The weak convergence of the processes on the space of Schwartz distributions is established.The limiting process is an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck type process solving a Langevin type equation driven by a one-dimensional stable process.

A LARGE DEVIATION FOR OCCUPATIONTIMES OF SUPER-STABLE PROCESS

I. Iscoe and T.Y. Lee started the study of large deviation for measure-valued Markovprocesses in the case of super-Brownian motion. We generalized their results to the case ofsuper-stable case. The self-similarity property of symmetric stable transition density plays a keyrole in this paper.

Achieving high-capacity and long-life K^(+)storage enabled by constructing yolk-shell Sb_(2)S_(3)@N,S-doped carbon nanorod anodes

As promising anode candidates for potassium-ion batteries(PIBs),antimony sulfide(Sb_(2)S_(3))possesses high specific capacity but suffers from massive volume expansion and sluggish kinetics due to the large K^(+)insertion,resulting in inferior cycling and rate performance.To address these challenges,a yolk-shell structured Sb_(2)S_(3)confined in N,S co-doped hollow carbon nanorod(YS-Sb_(2)S_(3)@NSC)working as a viable anode for PIBs is proposed.As directly verified by in situ transmission electron microscopy(TEM),the buffer space between the Sb_(2)S_(3)core and thin carbon shell can effectively accommodate the large expansion stress of Sb_(2)S_(3)without cracking the shell and the carbon shell can accelerate electron transport and K^(+)diffusion,which plays a significant role in reinforcing the structural stability and facilitating charge transfer.As a result,the YS-Sb_(2)S_(3)@NSC electrode delivers a high reversible K^(+)storage capacity of 594.58 m A h g^(-1)at 0.1 A g^(-1)and a long cycle life with a slight capacity degradation(0.01%per cycle)for 2000 cycles at 1 A g^(-1)while maintaining outstanding rate capability.Importantly,utilizing in in situ/ex situ microscopic and spectroscopic characterizations,the origins of performance enhancement and K^(+)storage mechanism of Sb_(2)S_(3)were clearly elucidated.This work provides valuable insights into the rational design of high-performance and durable transition metal sulfides-based anodes for PIBs.

Multi-Parameter Analysis of Optimal Transitions from Chaotic to Stable Regions for Two Classes of Systems

The study of the parameter space of chaotic systems is complicated by its high dimensionality (multi-parametricability). Two approaches to the study of chaotic systems are presented: multi-parameter analysis and optimal suppression of chaotic dynamics. For non-autonomous chaotic systems, this is the way to compare the effectiveness of various correction parameters that provide optimal removal of irregular dynamics. For the class of autonomous chaotic systems, this is the way to investigate the optimal conditions of super-stable behavior for the chaotic system.
