Visible-light-driven organic oxidation over CdS-doped metal-organic frameworks.

In this research, we synthesized CdS nanoparticle-doped metal-organic frameworks (CdS@DUT-52) with different contents using a solvothermal method. CdS@DUT-52 possesses strong light absorption ability and effective electron-hole separation properties, which was proved by performing UV-vis spectroscopy and photoelectrochemical testing. It was used to trigger the photooxidation of amines, sulfides, and alcohols to produce the corresponding imines, sulfoxides, and aldehydes in the presence of air or oxygen, exhibiting considerable yields of products under visible light irradiation compared with a single component.

Fabrication of glucose-derived carbon-decorated magnetic microspheres for extraction of bisphenols from water and tea drinks.

Glucose-derived carbon-decorated magnetic microspheres were synthesized by an easy hydrothermal carbonization method and used as a high-efficiency adsorbent to extract bisphenols in water and tea drinks. The as-prepared carbon-decorated magnetic microspheres had a well-defined core-shell structure with a shell thickness of about 5 nm. The microspheres possessed high saturation magnetization at 60.
