Herein, we demonstrate a method to fabricate a composite of reduced graphene oxide（rGO） with hollow Co9S8 derived from metal organic framework（MOF）. Due to the combined highly conductive rGO substrates and hollow shell, the prepared r GO/Co9S8 composite exhibits a high specific capacitance of 575.9 F/g at 2 A/g and 92.0% capacitance retention after 9000 cycles. Its excellent electrochemical performance provides great promise for application, and this versatile method can be extended to prepare other similar nanocomposite.展开更多

Hydrogen sulfide（H2S） is produced during the biological sulfate reduction process. The production of toxic H2S is one of the concerns because it may hinder the landscape remediation efficiency of oil sands tailing ponds. In present study, the in situ activity and the community structure of SRB in MFT and gypsum amended MFT in two settling columns were investigated. Combined techniques of H2S microsensor and dissimilatory sulfite reductase β-subunit（dsrB） genes-based real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction（qPCR） were applied to detect the in situ H2S and the abundance of SRB. A higher diversity of SRB and more H2S were observed in gypsum amended MFT than that in MFT, indicating a higher sulfate reduction activity in gypsum amended MFT; in addition, the activity of SRB varied as depth in both MFT and gypsum amended MFT： the deeper the more H2S produced. Long-term plans for tailings management can be assessed more wisely with the information provided in this study.展开更多
