Reconstruction of CoN /NC Catalyst during Oxygen Evolution Reaction by Fe Modulation for Enhanced Activity and Stability.

The surface reconstruction of transition metal-based catalysts has been demonstrated to be beneficial for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, regulating the activity and stability of the components derived from reconstruction is challenging. Here, a strategy of Fe ion modulating the reconstruction components of CoN on a nitrogen-doped carbon carrier(CoN /NC) electrocatalyst for promoted OER activity and stability is reported.

Extended application of defective metal oxide BiO: Liquid phase low-temperature thermal catalysis for the removal of phenolic pollutants.

Bismuth oxide (BiO) with oxygen vacancies was created using a hydrothermal process and was found to exhibit good catalytic oxidation performance under low-temperature heating without the addition of external oxidants. The catalytic activity of BiO was tested using 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) as the target aqueous pollutant. We observed that 10 ppm of 4-CP was completely degraded within 40 min at a reaction temperature of 65 °C.

Bifunctional 2D/2D g-CN/BiO nanosheets heterojunction for bacterial disinfection mechanisms under visible and near-infrared light irradiation.

The efficient deployment of visible and near-infrared (NIR) light for photocatalytic disinfection is of great concern a matter. Herein, we report a specific bifunctional 2D/2D g-CN/BiO nanosheets heterojunction, prepared through a self-assembly approach. Delightfully, the obtained 2D/2D heterojunctions exhibited satisfactory photocatalytic disinfection performance towards Escherichia coli K-12 (E.

Cu/Cu cycle promoted PMS decomposition with the assistance of Mo for the degradation of organic pollutant.

The limited production of Cu in the Cu/PMS processes constrained its large-scan application for the elimination of organic pollutants. In this study, molybdenum powder (Mo) was applied as the co-catalyst to improve the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in Cu/PMS system at pH 5.6.

WS as highly active co-catalyst for the regeneration of Fe(II) in the advanced oxidation processes.

The greatest constraint in the advanced oxidation processes involved Fe(II)/PMS was the low utilization of Fe(II) and PMS. In the present study, the co-catalytic effect of WS on the Fe(II)/PMS system for the degradation of organics was investigated. In the presence of WS, Fe(III) was reduced to Fe(II) during the reaction and resulted in improved decomposition of PMS as well as the degradation of 4-chloriphenol (4-CP).
