RESUMO

The surface electronic structures of catalysts play a crucial role in CO2 adsorption and activation. Here, sulfur vacancies are introduced into CuInS2 nanosheets (Vs-CuInS2) to evaluate the effect of electronic structures at the surface-active sites on the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). Vs-CuInS2 exhibits a significant disparity in the highest FEformate/FECO (6.50) compared to that of CuInS2 (1.86). Specifically, the maximum current density (Jmax) of carbon products on Vs-CuInS2 is 78.78 mA cm-2, and a Faraday efficiency of carbon products (FEcarbon products) of ≥80% is achieved in 600 mV wide potential windows. In situ Raman measurements and density functional theory calculations elucidate the origin of the apparent alterations in the carbon product selectivity. The introduction of sulfur vacancies realizes the controllable regulation of the local electronic density around the metal active sites, inducing the transformation of *COOH and *OCHO from competitive adsorption on CuInS2 to specific adsorption on Vs-CuInS2. In addition, the regulation of electronic structures on Vs-CuInS2 inhibits *H adsorption. This work reveals the transfer of adsorption of CO2RR intermediates via regulation of the electronic structure, complementing the understanding of the mechanism for the enhanced CO2RR.

RESUMO

Given the rapid recombination of photogenerated charge carriers and photocorrosion, transition metal sulfide photocatalysts usually suffer from modest photocatalytic performance. Herein, S-vacancy-rich ZnIn2S4 (VS-ZIS) nanosheets are integrated on 3D bicontinuous nitrogen-doped nanoporous graphene (N-npG), forming 3D heterostructures with well-fitted geometric configuration (VS-ZIS/N-npG) for highly efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production. The VS-ZIS/N-npG presents ultrafast interfacial photogenerated electrons captured by the S vacancies in VS-ZIS and holes neutralization behaviors by the extra free electrons in N-npG during photocatalysis, which are demonstrated by in situ XPS, femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) spectroscopy, and transient-state surface photovoltage (TS-SPV) spectra. The simulated interfacial charge rearrangement behaviors from DFT calculations also verify the separation tendency of photogenerated charge carriers. Thus, the optimized VS-ZIS/N-npG 3D hierarchical heterojunction with 1.0 wt % N-npG exhibits a comparably high hydrogen generation rate of 4222.4 µmol g-1 h-1, which is 5.6-fold higher than the bare VS-ZIS and 12.7-fold higher than the ZIS without S vacancies. This work sheds light on the rational design of photogenerated carrier transfer paths to facilitate charge separation and provides further hints for the design of hierarchical heterostructure photocatalysts.

RESUMO

The exploration of efficient heterogeneous catalysts for persistent organic pollutant removal is extremely attractive. In the present work, MnO2/Mn3O4 photo-Fenton catalysts were designed by a facile hydrothermal route to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) under visible light irradiation for organic pollutant degradation. The optimized MnO2/Mn3O4 heterojunction shows excellent Rhodamine B (RhB) removal efficiency, whose apparent kinetic constant is 11.9 and 5.36 times as high as the MnO2 and Mn3O4. Meanwhile, there is a neglectable attenuation in catalytic performance after 5 recycling runs. Based on the active species trapping experiments, the non-radical process contributes more than the radical process during RhB degradation. Moreover, factors including the dosage of PMS, initial RhB concentration, initial pH, the presence of various anions, different organic pollutants, and water sources are investigated. Systematical characterizations reveal that the enlarged specific surface areas and the efficient charge separation aroused from the Z-scheme mechanism are attributed to the enhanced photo-Fenton performance. The present work contributes to the construction of the Mn-based photo-Fenton catalyst with efficient PMS activation capacity for environmental remediation.

RESUMO

The existence of excessive tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) in the ecological environment has seriously threatened human health, so there is an urgent need to develop a high-performance photocatalyst that can efficiently and greenly remove TCH. Currently, most photocatalysts have the problems of fast recombination of photogenerated charge carriers and low degradation efficiency. Herein, S-scheme AgI/Bi4O5I2 (AB) heterojunctions was constructed for TCH removal. Compared with the single component, the apparent kinetic constant of the 0.7AB is 5.6 and 10.2 time as high as the AgI and Bi4O5I2, and the photocatalytic activity only decreases by 3.0% after four recycle runs. In addition, to verify the potential practical application of the fabricated AgI/Bi4O5I2 nanocomposite, the photocatalytic degradation of TCH was performed under different conditions by regulating the dosage of photocatalyst, the TCH concentration, pH, and the existence of various anions. Systematical characterizations are conducted to investigate the intrinsic physical and chemical properties of the constructed AgI/Bi4O5I2 composites. Based on the synergetic characterizations by in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, band edge measurements, as well as reactive oxygen species (ROS) detections, the S-scheme photocatalytic mechanism is proved. This work provides a valuable reference for developing efficient and stable S-scheme AgI/Bi4O5I2 photocatalyst for TCH removal.

RESUMO

ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) is widely used in the field of photocatalytic hydrogen production due to its unique photoelectric properties. Nonetheless, the photocatalytic performance of ZIS usually faces problems of poor conductivity and rapid recombination of charge carriers. Heteroatom doping is often regarded as one of the effective strategies for improving the catalytic activity of photocatalysts. Herein, phosphorus (P)-doped ZIS was prepared by hydrothermal method, whose photocatalytic hydrogen production performance and energy band structure were fully studied. The band gap of P-doped ZIS is about 2.51 eV, which is slightly smaller than that of pure ZIS. Moreover, due to the upward shift of its energy band, the reduction ability of P-doped ZIS is enhanced, and P-doped ZIS also exhibits stronger catalytic activity than pure ZIS. The optimized P-doped ZIS exhibits a hydrogen production rate of 1566.6 µmol g-1 h-1, which is 3.8 times that of the pristine ZIS (411.1 µmol g-1 h-1). This work provides a broad platform for the design and synthesis of phosphorus-doped sulfide-based photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution.

RESUMO

Developing stable catalysts with higher selectivity and activity within a wide potential range is critical for efficiently converting CO2 to ethanol. Here, the carbon-encapsulated CuNi nanoparticles anchored on nitrogen-doped nanoporous graphene (CuNi@C/N-npG) composite are designedly prepared and display the excellent CO2 reduction performance with the higher ethanol Faradaic effiency (FEethanol  ≥ 60%) in a wide potential window (600 mV). The optimal cathodic energy efficiency (47.6%), Faradaic efficiency (84%), and selectivity (96.6%) are also obtained at -0.78 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). Combining with the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, it is demonstrated that the stronger metal-support interaction (Ni-N-C) can regulate the surface electronic structure effectively, boosting the electron transfer and stabilizing the active sites (Cu0 -Cuδ+ ) on the surface of CuNi@C/N-npG, finally realizing the controllable transition of reaction intermediates. This work may guide the designs of electrocatalysts with highly catalytic performance for CO2 reduction to C2+ products.

RESUMO

Lead (Pb) contamination of planting soils is increasingly serious, leading to harmful effects on soil microflora and food safety. Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are carbohydrate polymers produced and secreted by microorganisms, which are efficient biosorbent materials and has been widely used in wastewater treatment to remove heavy metals. However, the effects and underlying mechanism of EPS-producing marine bacteria on soil metal immobilization, plant growth and health remain unclear. The potential of Pseudoalteromonas agarivorans Hao 2018, a high EPS-producing marine bacterium, to produce EPS in soil filtrate, immobilize Pb, and inhibit its uptake by pakchoi (Brassica chinensis L.) was studied in this work. The effects of strain Hao 2018 on the biomass, quality, and rhizospheric soil bacterial community of pakchoi in Pb-contaminated soil were further investigated. The results showed that Hao 2018 reduced the Pb concentration in soil filtrate (16%-75%), and its EPS production increased in the presence of Pb2+. When compared to the control, Hao 2018 remarkably enhanced pakchoi biomass (10.3%-14.3%), decreased Pb content in edible tissues (14.5%-39.2%) and roots (41.3%-41.9%), and reduced the available Pb content (34.8%-38.1%) in the Pb-contaminated soil. Inoculation with Hao 2018 raised the pH of the soil, the activity of several enzymes (alkaline phosphatase, urease, and dehydrogenase), the nitrogen content (NH4 +-N and NO3 --N), and the pakchoi quality (Vc and soluble protein content), while also raising the relative abundance of bacteria that promote plant growth and immobilize metals, such as Streptomyces and Sphingomonas. In conclusion, Hao 2018 reduced the available Pb in soil and pakchoi Pb absorption by increasing the pH and activity of multiple enzymes and regulating microbiome composition in rhizospheric soil.

RESUMO

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have frequently occurred worldwide, causing marine ecosystems and human health risks. As an advanced and green oxidation technology, photocatalysis has potential to remove red tide algae using solar energy. Herein, in this work, Z-scheme photocatalysts of Ag3PO4/g-C3N4 (APCN) floating foam with different mass ratios were fabricated for the algae inactivation. Under visible light irradiation, the 0.10APCN (0.10 mM AgNO3) composite photocatalyst could cause 91.8% of the loss in Karenia mikimotoi (K. mikimotoi) cell viability following 24 h and the removal rate of algae could reach to 86% after five successive cycles. The underlying mechanism of photocatalytic inactivation of harmful algae is proposed in this system. The photosynthetic efficiency of harmful algae is inhibited with the decrease of photosynthetic pigments, which are inactivated by the high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) (superoxide radical •O2- and hydroxyl radical •OH) produced in Z-scheme photocatalytic system of the Ag3PO4/g-C3N4 heterojunction under visible light. Meanwhile, the activities of antioxidant enzymes (i.e. POD, APX and SOD) are up-regulating with the overproduction of ROS going into the algae, causing the cytotoxicity and apoptosis of algae. This work not only reveals the mechanisms of photocatalytic inactivation of harmful algae, but also guides the design the construction of high active composite photocatalysts, and thus provides theoretical and practical significance for highly efficient and recyclable prospect of controlling of harmful algae.

RESUMO

The practical application of lead-free double perovskite Cs2 AgBiBr6 in photocatalytic H2 evolution is still restricted due to the low activity and poor stability. The rational design of lead-free halide double perovskites heterojunctions with efficient charge transfer and effective active sites is a potential route to achieve the ideal prospect. Herein, in this work an S-scheme heterojunction of Cs2 AgBiBr6 with enriched Br-vacancies and WO3 nanorods (VBr -Cs2 AgBiBr6 /WO3 ) obtaining excellent visible-light responsive photocatalytic H2 evolution performance and durable stability is reported. The S-scheme heterojunction driven by the unaligned Fermi levels of these two semiconductors ensures the efficient charge transfer at the interface, and density functional theory calculations reveal the enriched Br vacancies on Cs2 AgBiBr6 (022) surfaces introduced by atom thermal vibration provide effective active sites for hydrogen evolution. The optimized VBr -Cs2 AgBiBr6 /WO3 S-scheme photocatalyst exhibits the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 364.89 µmol g-1 h-1 which is 4.9-fold of bare VBr -Cs2 AgBiBr6 (74.44 µmol g-1 h-1 ) and presents long-term stability of 12 h continuous photocatalytic reaction. This work provides deep insights into the photocatalytic mechanism of VBr -Cs2 AgBiBr6 /WO3 S-scheme heterojunctions, which emerges a new strategy in the applications of perovskite-based photocatalysts.

RESUMO

Compared with the Haber Bosch process, the electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) under mild conditions provides an alternative and promising route for ammonia synthesis due to its green and sustainable features. However, the great energy barrier to break the stable N≡N bond hinders the practical application of NRR. Though Fe is the only common metal element in all biological nitrogenases in nature, there is still a lack of study on developing highly efficient and low-cost Fe-based catalysts for N2 fixation. Herein, Co-doped Fe3S4 nanoflowers were fabricated as the intended catalyst for NRR. The results indicate that 4% Co-doped Fe3S4 nanoflowers achieve a high Faradaic efficiency of 17% and a NH3 yield rate of 37.5 µg·h-1·mg-1cat. at -0.55 V versus RHE potential in 0.1 M HCl, which is superior to most Fe-based catalysts. The introduction of Co atoms can not only shift the partial density states of Fe3S4 toward the Fermi level but also serve as new active centers to promote N2 absorption, lowering the energy barrier of the potential determination step to accelerate the catalytic process. This work paves a pathway of the morphology and doping engineering for Fe-based electrocatalysts to enhance ammonia synthesis.

RESUMO

The combination of topological phase and intrinsic beyond-room-temperature ferromagnetism is expected to realize the quantum anomalous Hall effect at a high temperature. However, no beyond-room-temperature intrinsic ferromagnetism has been reported in either topological insulator or topological crystalline insulator (TCI) so far. Here, we report Cr-doping in TCI-phase SnTe crystals which possess highly tunable beyond-room-temperature intrinsic ferromagnetism including Tc, magnetic moment, and coercivity by varying Cr contents and crystal thickness. With the increase of the Cr content, the Tc increases by 159 K from 221 to 380 K and the saturation magnetic moments increase by ∼23.6 times from 0.018 to 0.421 µB/f.u. This intrinsic beyond-room-temperature ferromagnetism is fully demonstrated by the anomalous Hall effect and magneto-optical Kerr effect in a single CrxSn1-xTe nanosheet. Moreover, the room-temperature tunneling magnetoresistance effect has been realized by using a CrxSn1-xTe flake, a Fe thin film, and a commercially compatible ultrathin AlOx tunneling barrier. This work indicates a great potential of CrxSn1-xTe crystals in room-temperature magnetoelectronic and spintronic devices.

RESUMO

Phenol's presence in aqueous solution due to the pollution from chemical and agricultural industries (e.g., coking tobacco leaves) causes severe environmental problems. As a result, many scientists and engineers search for catalysts to remove phenol from water by photodegradation. Thus, we synthesized Pt-doped TiO2-ZnO@ZIF-8 core@shell particles (Pt/TiO2-ZnO@ZIF-8) by a simple method involving crystallization, absorption, pyrolysis and growth steps. The resulting materials were analyzed by the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning and transmission electron microscopies (SEM and TEM, respectively), surface area measurements and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activities of our materials were evaluated by phenol degradation in aqueous solutions. Pt-doped TiO2-ZnO particles possessed a polyhedral structure and exhibited broad absorption above 400 nm. Coating with ZIF-8 increased the specific surface area of the Pt-doped TiO2-ZnO particles. Both Pt doping and ZIF-8 coating significantly enhanced the photocatalytic performance of TiO2-ZnO. Pt/TiO2-ZnO@ZIF-8 decomposed 99.7 % of phenol after the corresponding solution was exposed to UV light for 24 min. This performance was significantly better than the phenol decomposition ability of TiO2-ZnO, Pt/TiO2-ZnO and TiO2, which degraded 76.1 %, 95.2 % and 86.9 % of phenol, respectively. Pt/TiO2-ZnO@ZIF-8 also demonstrated excellent recycling stability. All these properties, including photostability, made our novel Pt/TiO2-ZnO@ZIF-8 catalyst a promising material for practical applications in environmental remediation.

RESUMO

Molecular oxygen activated by visible light to generate radicals with high oxidation ability exhibits great potential in environmental remediation The efficacy of molecular oxygen activation mainly depends on the separation and migration efficiency of the photoinduced charge carriers. In this work, 2D/2D CdIn2S4/g-C3N4 heterojunctions with different weight ratios were successfully fabricated by a simple electrostatic self-assembled route. The optimized sample with a weight ratio of 5:2 between CdIn2S4 and g-C3N4 showed the highest photocatalytic activity for tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) degradation, which also displayed good photostability. The enhancement of the photocatalytic performance could be ascribed to the 2D/2D heterostructure; this unique 2D/2D structure could promote the separation and migration of the photoinduced charge carriers, which was beneficial for molecular oxygen activation, leading to an enhancement in photocatalytic activity. This work may possibly provide a scalable way for molecular oxygen activation in photocatalysis.

RESUMO

Environmental crisis aroused from carcinogenic and mutagenic heavy metal Cr(VI)-containing wastewater has attracted great attention. Herein, a direct Z-scheme three-dimensional MgIn2S4 nanoflowers/two-dimensional oxygen-doped g-C3N4 nanosheets heterostructured composite photocatalysts were fabricated for Cr(VI) photoreduction. The crystalline structure, morphology, specific surface areas, chemical components, optical properties, as well as photoelectrochemical performance of the fabricated photocatalyst were systematically studied. All the hybrids photocatalysts exhibited superior Cr(VI) photoreduction performance than a single component. The optimal sample showed 2.0 and 343.7 times increasing than three-dimensional MgIn2S4 nanoflowers and two-dimensional oxygen-doped g-C3N4 nanosheets, respectively. The enhancement of the Cr(VI) photoreduction performance could be ascribed to the enhanced specific surface areas, the improved light absorption, and the Z-scheme charge carriers' separation and migration pathway. Moreover, the role of superoxide radicals was investigated. It is speculated that this research would present a new sight toward photocatalytic Cr(VI) reduction.

RESUMO

Environmental pollution caused by antibiotics-containing wastewater has attracted increasing attention. Considering the superior photocatalytic performance and the issue of photo-corrosion over silver-based photocatalysts, it is desirable to construct silver-based photocatalysts with high photostability. Herein, a serious of Ag3PO4/C3N5 nanocomposites with Z-scheme band alignment were rationally designed and fabricated for tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) removal. A variety of characterizations were employed to systematically study the phase structure, morphology and microstructure, optical properties, surface chemical states, and photocatalytic performance of the as-fabricated photocatalysts. The as-prepared Ag3PO4/C3N5 nanocomposites exhibited superior photocatalytic activity and photochemical stability than a single component toward TCH removal, meanwhile, the photocatalytic performance was not increased with the increasing amount of Ag3PO4. The possible photocatalytic mechanism (Z-scheme mechanism) was investigated and verified. The Z-scheme heterojunctions formed between Ag3PO4 and C3N5 is the main reason for the enhanced photocatalytic activities.

RESUMO

With three grape varieties, Red Barbara, Summer Black and Hutai No. 8 as test mate-rials, we investigated the effects of foliar spraying of organic selenium fertilizer on greenhouse grape quality and selenium content. The results showed that spraying 12 mg·L-1 amino acid chelated selenium-enriched foliar fertilizer on grape leaves significantly increased selenium content and the quantity and quality of grape yield, including the contents of soluble sugar, organic acid, soluble protein, soluble solids, vitamin C and proanthocyanidins. However, there was no increase in resveratrol. Among the three varieties, selenium content of Summer Black in 2017 and 2018 was increased by 36.7% and 37.1%, respectively, being higher than that of Red Barbara and Hutai No. 8. Red Barbara sprayed with selenium fertilizer had better quality due to high sugar and low acid contents, as well as high health-care components. Moreover, the selenium content of Hutai No. 8 in 2018 was 53.26 µg·kg-1, higher than the others, indicating a stronger ability of selenium enrichment. We concluded that the increase range of Se content was larger in Summer Black, Red Barbara showed the better nutrition value and quality, and Hutai No. 8 was a suitable variety for selenium-rich grape production.

RESUMO

A Ni-catalyzed reductive deaminative arylation at unactivated sp3 carbon centers is described. This operationally simple and user-friendly protocol exhibits excellent chemoselectivity profile and broad substrate scope, thus complementing existing metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to forge sp3 C-C linkages. These virtues have been assessed in the context of late-stage functionalization, hence providing a strategic advantage to reliably generate structure diversity with amine-containing drugs.

RESUMO

A series of crystalline sp3 -sp3 diboron(4) compounds were synthesized and shown to promote the facile reduction of water with dihydrogen formation. The application of these diborons as simple and effective dihydrogen and dideuterium sources was demonstrated by conducting a series of selective reductions of alkynes and alkenes, and hydrogen-deuterium exchange reactions using two-chamber reactors. Finally, as the water reduction reaction generates an intermediate borohydride species, a range of aldehydes and ketones were reduced by using water as the hydride source.

RESUMO

A simple method for accessing perfluoroalkyl-substituted enones is described applying a four-component palladium-catalyzed carbonylative coupling of aryl boronic acids together with terminal alkynes and perfluoroalkyl iodides in the presence of carbon monoxide. A wide range of highly functionalized enones can thus be prepared in a single operation in good yields. With 2-aminophenylalkynes, an intramolecular aminocarbonylation event overrules providing the indolin-2-one framework. Finally, adaptation of the two-chamber technology expands the method to the synthesis of the aforementioned structures with 13C-isotope labeling.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Spraying selenium (Se) fertilizer is an effective method for Se-enriched fruit production. Sugar content in fruit is the major factor determining berry quality. However, changes in sugar metabolism in response to Se fertilizer are unclear. Hence, this study was conducted to identify the effects of Se fertilizer on sugar metabolism and related enzyme activities of grape berries. Additionally, production of leaves with and without Se fertilizer was also investigated. RESULTS: Acid invertase (AI) activity, total soluble sugar and Se content in berries, and photosynthetic rate in leaves produced under Se fertilizer treatments were higher than that of control. Glucose and fructose were the primary sugars in berries, with a trace of sucrose. In both berries and leaves, neutral invertase activity was lower than AI, there was no significant difference in neutral invertase, sucrose synthase and sucrose phosphate synthase between Se fertilizer-treated and control. In berries, AI showed a significant positive correlation with glucose and fructose; also Se content was significantly correlated with sugar content. CONCLUSION: AI played an important role in the process of sugar accumulation in berries; high AI activity in berries and photosynthetic rate in leaves could explain the mechanism by which Se fertilizer affected sugar accumulation in berries. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.
