The colored washing-off wastewater also could be decolorized simultaneously in the same system. The decolourization kinetics showed that the decolourization ratio of reactive dyes in water could reach at least 80% at room temperature in 10 min,which followed the law of pseudo-first order reaction kinetics. The effects of the COS washing-off process parameters on the decolourization ratio,chemical oxygen demand( COD) of wastewater,K/S value,color fastness,color difference,and bursting strength were investigated in detail. The results showed that color fastness properties and final shade of fabric treated by COS were very similar to conventional soaping. The reactive dye molecules in wash-off bath were destroyed using the COS,potentially reduced COD which generated during conventional washing-off procedure.展开更多

Due to the strong generation and weak absorption of hydroxyl radicals on the diamond surface, the BDD elec- trode possesses a powerful capability of electrochemical oxidation of organic compounds, especially in the pulse current mode. The influences of pulse current parameters such as current density, pulse duty cycle, and frequency were investigated in terms of chemical oxygen demand （COD） removal, average current efficiency, and specific energy consumption. The results demon- strated that the relatively high COD removal and low specific energy consumption were obtained simultaneously only if the current density or pulse duty cycle was adjusted to a reasonable value. Increasing the frequency slightly enhanced the COD re- moval and average current efficiency. A pulse-BDD anode system showed a stronger energy saving ability than a constant-BDD anode system when the electrochemical oxidation of phenol of the two systems was compared. The results prove that the pulse current technique is more cost-effective and more suitable for a BDD anode system for real wastewater treatment. A kinetic analysis was presented to explain the above results.展开更多

This review presents an overview of the research progress on oxidation behavior of Co-based superalloys, including oxidation kinetics, oxides morphology, the formation and spallation of oxide layers, and importantly, the synergistic effects of alloying elements on oxidation resistance—a critical area considering the complex interactions with multiple alloying elements. Additionally, this review compares the oxidation resistance of single crystal versus polycrystalline alloys. The effect of phase interface and dislocations on oxidation behavior is also discussed. While significant progress has been achieved, areas necessitating further investigation include optimizing alloy compositions for enhanced oxidation resistance and understanding the long-term stability of oxide layers. The future prospects for Co-based superalloys are promising as ongoing research aims to address the existing challenges and unlock new applications at even higher operating temperatures.展开更多

文摘Unfixed reactive dyes stained on cotton fabric could be removed using Fe-tetra-amido macro-cyclic ligands( TAML) / H_2O_2 catalyzed oxidation system( COS). The colored washing-off wastewater also could be decolorized simultaneously in the same system. The decolourization kinetics showed that the decolourization ratio of reactive dyes in water could reach at least 80% at room temperature in 10 min,which followed the law of pseudo-first order reaction kinetics. The effects of the COS washing-off process parameters on the decolourization ratio,chemical oxygen demand( COD) of wastewater,K/S value,color fastness,color difference,and bursting strength were investigated in detail. The results showed that color fastness properties and final shade of fabric treated by COS were very similar to conventional soaping. The reactive dye molecules in wash-off bath were destroyed using the COS,potentially reduced COD which generated during conventional washing-off procedure.

文摘Layered transition metal hydroxides show distinct advantages in separately co-catalyzing CO_(2)reduction and H_(2)O oxidation at the electron-accumulating and hole-accumulating sites of wrapped heterojunction photocatalysts,while concurrently preventing side reactions and photocorrosion on the semiconductor surface.Herein,Ni-Co bimetallic hydroxides with varying Ni/Co molar ratios(Ni_(x)Co_(1-x)(OH)_(2),x=1,0.75,0.5,0.25,and 0)were grown in situ on a model 2D/2D S-scheme heterojunction composed of Cu_(2)O nanosheets and Fe_(2)O_(3)nanoplates to form a series of Cu_(2)O/Fe_(2)O_(3)@Ni_(x)Co_(1-x)(OH)_(2)(CF@NiCo)photocatalysts.The combined experimental and theoretical investigation demonstrates that incorporating an appropriate amount of Co into Ni(OH)_(2)not only modulates the energy band structure of Ni_(x)Co_(1-x)(OH)_(2),balances the electron-and hole-trapping abilities of the bifunctional cocatalyst and maximizes the charge separation efficiency of the heterojunction,but also regulates the d-band center of Ni_(x)Co_(1-x)(OH)_(2),reinforcing the adsorption and activation of CO_(2)and H_(2)O on the cocatalyst surface and lowering the rate-limiting barriers in the CO_(2)-to-CO and H_(2)O-to-O_(2)conversion.Benefiting from the Ni-Co synergy,the redox reactions proceed stoichiometrically.The optimized CF@Ni_(0.75)Co_(0.25)achieves CO and O_(2)yields of 552.7 and 313.0μmol gcat^(-1)h^(-1),respectively,11.3/9.9,1.6/1.7,and 4.5/5.9-fold higher than those of CF,CF@Ni,and CF@Co.This study offers valuable insights into the design of bifunctional noble-metal-free cocatalysts for high-performance artificial photosynthesis.

文摘The environmental threat posed by stibnite is an important geoenvironmental issue of current concern.To better understand stibnite oxidation pathways,aerobic abiotic batch experiments were conducted in aqueous solution with varyingδ^(18)O_(H_(2)O) value at initial neutral pH for different lengths of time(15-300 days).The sulfate oxygen and sulfur isotope compositions as well as concentrations of sulfur and antimony species were determined.The sulfur isotope fractionation factor(△^(34)S_(SO4-stibnite))values decreased from 0.8‰to-2.1‰during the first 90 days,and increased to 2.6‰at the 180 days,indicating the dominated intermediate sulfur species such as S_(2)O_(3)^(2-),S0,and H_(2)S(g)involved in Sb2S3 oxidation processes.The incorporation of O into sulfate derived from O_(2)(~100%)indicated that the dissociated O_(2)was only directly adsorbed on the stibnite-S sites in the initial stage(0-90 days).The proportion of O incorporation into sulfate from water(27%-52%)increased in the late stage(90-300 days),which suggested the oxidation mechanism changed to hydroxyl attack on stibnite-S sites promoted by nearby adsorbed O_(2)on stibnite-Sb sites.The exchange of oxygen between sulfite and water may also contributed to the increase of water derived O into SO42-.The new insight of stibnite oxidation pathway contributes to the understanding of sulfide oxidation mechanism and helps to interpret field data.
文摘Currently,there is a lack of effective medicines capable of halting or reve rsing the progression of neurodegenerative disorde rs,including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,Parkinson s disease,multiple sclerosis,or Alzheimer s disease.Given the unmet medical need,it is necessary to reevaluate the existing para digms of how to to rget these diseases.When considering neurodegenerative diseases from a systemic neurometabolic perspective,it becomes possible to explain the shared pathological features.This innovative approach presented in this paper draws upon exte nsive research conducted by the authors and researchers worldwide.In this review,we highlight the importance of metabolic mitochondrial dysfunction in the context of neurodegenerative diseases.We provide an overview of the risk factors associated with developing neurodegenerative disorders,including genetic,epigenetic,and environmental fa ctors.Additionally,we examine pathological mechanisms implicated in these diseases such as oxidative stress,accumulation of misfolded proteins,inflammation,demyelination,death of neurons,insulin resistance,dysbiosis,and neurotransmitter disturbances.Finally,we outline a proposal for the restoration of mitochondrial metabolism,a crucial aspect that may hold the key to facilitating curative therapeutic interventions for neurodegenerative disorders in forthcoming advancements.

文摘BiVO_(4)is one of the most promising photoanode materials for photoelectrochemical(PEC)solar energy conversion,but it still suffers from poor photocurrent density due to insufficient light‐harvesting efficiency(LHE),weak photogenerated charge separation efficiency(Φ_(Sep)),and low water oxidation efficiency(Φ_(OX)).Herein,we tackle these challenges of the BiVO_(4)photoanodes using systematic engineering,including catalysis engineering,bandgap engineering,and morphology engineering.In particular,we deposit a NiCoO_(x)layer onto the BiVO_(4)photoanode as the oxygen evolution catalyst to enhance theΦ_(OX)of Fe‐g‐C_(3)N_(4)/BiVO_(4)for PEC water oxidation,and incorporate Fe‐doped graphite‐phase C_(3)N_(4)(Fe‐g‐C_(3)N_(4))into the BiVO_(4)photoanode to optimize the bandgap and surface areas to subsequently expand the light absorption range of the photoanode from 530 to 690 nm,increase the LHE andΦ_(Sep),and further improve the oxygen evolution reaction activity of the NiCoO_(x)catalytic layer.Consequently,the maximum photocurrent density of the as‐prepared NiCoO_(x)/Fe‐g‐C_(3)N_(4)/BiVO_(4)is remarkably boosted from 4.6 to 7.4 mA cm^(−2).This work suggests that the proposed systematic engineering strategy is exceptionally promising for improving LHE,Φ_(Sep),andΦ_(OX)of BiVO_(4)‐based photoanodes,which will substantially benefit the design,preparation,and large‐scale application of next‐generation high‐performance photoanodes.

文摘Carbon Nanotubes(CNTs)reinforced Polymer-Matrix Composites(PMCs)is widely used as insulation materials in thermal protection system of aerospace propulsion.However,CNTs are prone to oxidation and have high thermal conductivities,which makes it difficult to improve the ablation resistance of insulation materials that contain CNTs.SiO_(2)was encapsulated onto the surface of CNTs(CNTs@SiO_(2)),which were then added to Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer(EPDM)rubber to prepare the insulation materials.Thermogravimetric analysis and ablation test were used to evaluate the resistance of the insulation materials to thermal oxidation and ablation.Additionally,scanning electron microscopy was performed to analyze their microstructures.Results revealed that the addition of CNTs@SiO_(2)could visibly reduce the effects of hot corrosion and ablation on insulation materials.The C-CNTs@SiO_(2)-1 formulation had the best ablative resistance.Further,compared with the unencapsulated formulation(C-CNTs-10),the C-CNTs@SiO_(2)-1 formulation reduced the line ablation rate by 51%to 0.0130 mm/s after oxygen-acetylene experiments.Lastly,the ablation mechanism was investigated based on the effects of the CNTs@SiO_(2)additive on their properties.Thus,the improvement in ablation performance may be attributed to CNTs@SiO_(2)-induced decreases in thermal conductivity,improvement in the hot corrosion resistance in the char layer,and changes in the microstructure.

文摘Water scarcity is an escalating global crisis,posing a severe threat to populations worldwide.Consequently,exploring various materials to remove emerging contaminants from freshwater sources has garnered significant attention.In this regard,single-atom catalysis(SACs) has emerged as a catalyst of scientific progress in water purification and treatment methodologies during recent decades.SACs exhibit exceptional catalytic activity,selectivity and stability,due to their near-perfect atom utilization,highly unsaturated coordination environment and uniform reaction centers.However,a comprehensive and critical review encompassing the successful integration of SACs into water purification processes needs to be completed.This review aims to accentuate recent trends by presenting the synthesis,structure,and environment and energy application-relevant properties of SACs.The results show that a comprehensive and multi-perspective summary of the advantages of SACs in environmental remediation can have significant benefits,such as fast kinetics,costeffectiveness,selectivity.The oxidation and reduction processes of SACs and functional SACs materials in water purification were emphasized.Furthermore,the last section is devoted to the current research gaps and further perspectives on the application of SACs in water treatment,which are summarized and analyzed.

文摘The elimination of neonicotinoids(NEOs)from water has been a research priority due to their threats to human health and ecosystems.In this study,we established the heterogeneous peroxymonosulfate(PMS)activation system using manganese catalyst(Mn NC)and cobalt catalyst(Co NC)to trigger the nonradical oxidation and synergistic oxidation pathway,respectively to remove NEOs.The results showed that the nonradical oxidation system exhibited superior NEOs degradation capability.The composition of organic pollutants in wastewater significantly impacted subsequent degradation processes.The charge distribution and reaction sites of various NEOs were analyzed using density functional theory(DFT)calculations,and it demonstrated the electron distribution and activity of NEOs were significantly influenced by the type and number of substituents.Nitro group(–NO_(2))and cyanide group(–C≡N)were identified as strong electron-withdrawing groups and prone to be attacked by negatively charged radicals.The transformation of NEOs was analyzed,and result showed that the C and N sites adjacent to the nitro group and cyanide group were more susceptible to oxidation attacks.S and N atoms,which possess strong electronegativity and high electron cloud density,were identified as key active sites in the degradation pathway.The outcomes of this study provide valuable guidance for the oriented regulation of oxidation pathways towards efficient removal of NEOs in water.

文摘Realizing fast and continuous generation of reactive oxygen species(ROSs)via iron-based advanced oxidation processes(AOPs)is significant in the environmental and biological fields.However,current AOPs assisted by co-catalysts still suffer from the poor mass/electron transfer and non-durable promotion effect,giving rise to the sluggish Fe^(2+)/Fe^(3+)cycle and low dynamic concentration of Fe^(2+)for ROS production.Herein,we present a three-dimensional(3D)macroscale co-catalyst functionalized with molybdenum disulfide(MoS_(2))to achieve ultra-efficient Fe^(2+)regeneration(equilibrium Fe^(2+)ratio of 82.4%)and remarkable stability(more than 20 cycles)via a circulating flow-through process.Unlike the conventional batch-type reactor,experiments and computational fluid dynamics simulations demonstrate that the optimal utilization of the 3D active area under the flow-through mode,initiated by the convectionenhanced mass/charge transfer for Fe^(2+)reduction and then strengthened by MoS_(2)-induced flow rotation for sufficient reactant mixing,is crucial for oxidant activation and subsequent ROS generation.Strikingly,the flow-through co-catalytic system with superwetting capabilities can even tackle the intricate oily wastewater stabilized by different surfactants without the loss of pollutant degradation efficiency.Our findings highlight an innovative co-catalyst system design to expand the applicability of AOPs based technology,especially in large-scale complex wastewater treatment.

文摘Traumatic brain injury involves complex pathophysiological mechanisms,among which oxidative stress significantly contributes to the occurrence of secondary injury.In this study,we evaluated hypidone hydrochloride(YL-0919),a self-developed antidepressant with selective sigma-1 receptor agonist properties,and its associated mechanisms and targets in traumatic brain injury.Behavioral experiments to assess functional deficits were followed by assessment of neuronal damage through histological analyses and examination of blood-brain barrier permeability and brain edema.Next,we investigated the antioxidative effects of YL-0919 by assessing the levels of traditional markers of oxidative stress in vivo in mice and in vitro in HT22 cells.Finally,the targeted action of YL-0919 was verified by employing a sigma-1 receptor antagonist(BD-1047).Our findings demonstrated that YL-0919 markedly improved deficits in motor function and spatial cognition on day 3 post traumatic brain injury,while also decreasing neuronal mortality and reversing blood-brain barrier disruption and brain edema.Furthermore,YL-0919 effectively combated oxidative stress both in vivo and in vitro.The protective effects of YL-0919 were partially inhibited by BD-1047.These results indicated that YL-0919 relieved impairments in motor and spatial cognition by restraining oxidative stress,a neuroprotective effect that was partially reversed by the sigma-1 receptor antagonist BD-1047.YL-0919 may have potential as a new treatment for traumatic brain injury.
文摘Pitch produced by the lique-faction of coal was divided into two frac-tions:soluble in toluene(TS)and insol-uble in toluene but soluble in pyridine(TI-PS),and their differences in molecu-lar structure and oxidation activity were studied.Several different carbon materi-als were produced from them by oxida-tion in air(350℃,300 mL/min)fol-lowed by carbonization(1000℃ in Ar),and the effect of the cross-linked structure on their structure and sodium storage properties was investigated.The results showed that the two pitch fractions were obviously different after the air oxidation.The TS fraction with a low degree of condensation and abundant side chains had a stronger oxidation activity and thus introduced more cross-linked oxygen-containing functional groups C(O)―O which prevented carbon layer rearrangement during the carbonization.As a result,a disordered hard carbon with more defects was formed,which improved the electrochemical performance.Therefore,the carbon materials derived from TS(O-TS-1000)had an obvious disordered structure and a larger layer spacing,giving them better sodium storage perform-ance than those derived from the TI-PS fraction(O-TI-PS-1000).The specific capacity of O-TS-1000 was about 250 mAh/g at 20 mA/g,which was 1.67 times higher than that of O-TI-PS-1000(150 mAh/g).
文摘The selective oxidation of para-xylene(PX)to terephthalic acid(TPA)has received increasing attention due to the industrial applications of TPA.However,the oxidation of the C(sp^(3))‒H bond of PX is still a main challenge because of the higher bond dissociation energy.Herein,an efficient photocatalytic system for the oxidation of PX to TPA was developed by using tetrabutylammonium decatungstate(TBADT)photocatalyst using atmospheric oxygen as oxidant and 365 nm LED light irradiation.The resulting TPA product was easily separated from the post-reaction solution through simple filtration treatment with a 93.4%yield in CH3CN(37.5%1 mol L^(‒1) HCl)solvent after 19-h photocatalysis.Given the easy separation of TPA and the excellent recycling stability of TBADT,a continuous-flow photoreactor was successfully designed with promising prospect for potential industrial application.Mechanistic studies elucidated that the presence of HCl additive benefits the structural integrity of[W10O32]4−anions and the transition from excited states[W_(10)O_(32)]^(4‒*)to wO active species,leading to enhanced photooxidation performance.

文摘The novel Co-based superalloys are extensively used in gas-powered and jet engine turbines due to their excellent high-temperature performance, achieved by strengthening the L12-γ′ ordered phase. This review presents an overview of the research progress on oxidation behavior of Co-based superalloys, including oxidation kinetics, oxides morphology, the formation and spallation of oxide layers, and importantly, the synergistic effects of alloying elements on oxidation resistance—a critical area considering the complex interactions with multiple alloying elements. Additionally, this review compares the oxidation resistance of single crystal versus polycrystalline alloys. The effect of phase interface and dislocations on oxidation behavior is also discussed. While significant progress has been achieved, areas necessitating further investigation include optimizing alloy compositions for enhanced oxidation resistance and understanding the long-term stability of oxide layers. The future prospects for Co-based superalloys are promising as ongoing research aims to address the existing challenges and unlock new applications at even higher operating temperatures.

文摘Up-and-coming high-temperature materials,refractory high entropy alloys,are suffering from lower oxidation resistance,restricting their applications in the aerospace field.In this study,two novel treatments of Al-deposited and remelted were developed to refine the microstructure and enhance the oxidation resistance of refractory high entropy alloy using electron beam freeform fabrication(EBF3).Finer and short-range ordering structures were observed in the remelted sample,whereas the Al-deposited sample showcased the formation of silicide and intermetallic phases.High-temperature cyclic and isothermal oxidation tests at 1000℃ were carried out.The total weight gain after 60 h of cyclic oxidation decreased by 17.49%and 30.46%for the remelted and deposited samples,respectively,compared to the as-cast state.Oxidation kinetics reveal an evident lower mass gain and oxidation rate in the treated samples.A multilayer oxide consisting of TiO_(2)+Al_(2)O_(3)+SiO_(2)+AlNbO_(4) was studied for its excellent oxidation resistance.The oxidation behavior of rutile,corundum and other oxides was analyzed using first principles calculations and chemical defect analysis.Overall,this research,which introduces novel treatments,offers promising insights for enhancing the inherent oxidation resistance of refractory high entropy alloys.

文摘Nano-zinc oxides(ZnO)demonstrate remarkable antibacterial properties.To further enhance the corrosion resistance and antibacterial efficiency of magnesium alloy micro-arc oxidation(MAO)coatings,this study investigates the preparation of ZnO-containing micro-arc oxidation coatings with dual functionality by incorporating nano-ZnO into MAO electrolyte.The influence of varying ZnO concentrations on the microstructure,corrosion resistance,and antibacterial properties of the coating was examined through microstructure analysis,immersion tests,electrochemical experiments,and antibacterial assays.The findings revealed that the addition of nano-ZnO significantly enhanced the corrosion resistance of the MAO-coated alloy.Specifically,when the ZnO concentration in the electrolyte was 5 g/L,the corrosion rate was more than ten times lower compared to the MAO coatings without ZnO.Moreover,the antibacterial efficacy of ZnO+MAO coating,prepared with a ZnO concentration of 5 g/L,surpassed 95%after 24 h of co-culturing with Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureus).The nano-ZnO+MAO-coated alloy exhibited exceptional degradation resistance,corrosion resistance,and antibacterial effectiveness.

文摘Silicide coatings have proven to be promising for improving the high-temperature oxidation resistance of niobium alloy.However,the long-term protective property of single silicide coating remains a long-time endeavor due to the deficiency of oxygen-consuming phases,as well as the self-healing ability of the protective layer.Herein,a silicide-based composite coating is constructed on niobium alloy by incor-poration of nano-SiC particles for enhancing the high-temperature oxidation resistance.Isothermal oxi-dation results at 1250℃ for 50 h indicate that NbSi_(2)/Nb_(2)O_(5)-SiO_(2)/SiC multilayer coated sample with a low mass gain of 2.49 mg/cm^(2) shows an improved oxidation resistance compared with NbSi_(2) coating(6.49 mg/cm^(2)).The enhanced high-temperature antioxidant performance of NbSi_(2)/Nb_(2)O_(5)-SiO_(2)/SiC multi-layer coating is mainly attributed to the formation of the protective SiO_(2) self-healing film and the high-temperature diffusion behavior of NbSi_(2)/substrate.

文摘Current research on heterogeneous advanced oxidation processes(HAOPs)predominantly emphasizes catalyst iteration and innovation.Significant efforts have been made to regulate the electron structure and optimize the electron distribution,thereby increasing the catalytic activity.However,this focus often overshadows an equally essential aspect of HAOPs:the adsorption effect.Adsorption is a critical initiator for triggering the interaction of oxidants and contaminants with heterogeneous catalysts.The efficacy of these interactions is influenced by a variety of physicochemical properties,including surface chemistry and pore sizes,which determine the affinities between contaminants and material surfaces.This dispar ity in affinity is pivotal because it underpins the selective removal of contaminants,especially in complex waste streams containing diverse contaminants and competing matrices.Consequently,understanding and mastering these interfacial interactions is fundamentally indispensable not only for improving pro cess efficiency but also for enhancing the selectivity of contaminant removal.Herein,we highlight the importance of adsorption-driven interfacial interactions for fundamentally elucidating the catalytic mechanisms of HAOPs.Such interactions dictate the overall performance of the treatment processes by balancing the adsorption,reaction,and desorption rates on the catalyst surfaces.Elucidating the adsorption effect not only shifts the paradigm in understanding HAOPs but also improves their practical ity in water treatment and wastewater decontamination.Overall,we propose that revisiting adsorption driven interfacial interactions holds great promise for optimizing catalytic processes to develop effective HAOP strategies.

文摘A Cr/CoNiCrAlTaY bilayer coating was prepared on the Ti-45Al-8.5Nb alloy by plasma surface metallurgy technique.The as-prepared coating with a grain size of~2μm exhibited a dense microstructure and strong adhesion due to metallurgical bonding,consisting of outermost Cr layer and CoNiCrAlTaY transition layer.The typical power-law relationship between mass gain and time was obtained for the coated specimens with a rate exponent of 3.18 following oxidation at 1173 K.The top Cr_(2)O_(3)film and spinel oxides(i.e.,NiCr_(2)O_(4)and CoCr_(2)O_(4))exhibited a protective effect with a low oxidation reaction rate.Interfacial analysis identified Ta precipitates(Cr_(2)Ta and TaAl_(3))and Ta oxides(Ta_(2)O_(5)and Ta_(2)O_(3)),which played an essential role in retarding rapid diffusion and enhancing adhesion and oxidation resistance.
