The adsorption behavior of perfluorooctane sulphonate on diamane regulated by strain.

The adsorption of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), such as perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), is currently a critical issue in the environmental domain, yet it is not fully understood. Diamane, as a stable monolayer adsorbent, has garnered significant research interest. Defects and strain are reported to play a crucial role in regulating its electronic structure.

Electroreduction of CO on Cu, Fe, or Ni-doped Diamane Sheets: A DFT Study.

Poor mass transfer behavior and inherent activity limit the efficiency of traditional catalysts in electrocatalyzing carbon dioxide reduction reactions. However, the development of novel nanomaterials provides new strategies to solve the above problems. Herein, we propose novel single-metal atom catalysts, namely diamane-based electrocatalysts doped with Cu, Fe, and Ni, explored through density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Volume retention rate after breast autogenous fat grafting and related influencing factors: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The volume retention of breast autologous fat grafting is unpredictable, and the volume retention rate and related influencing factors have not been systematically reviewed. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at evaluating the volume retention rate and related influencing factors of breast autologous fat grafting, which is for reconstructive or esthetic purposes. Literature search was conducted using the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases from inception of study to December 2022.

BTEX sensing potential of elemental-doped graphene: a DFT study.

Elementally-doped graphene demonstrates remarkable gas sensing capabilities as a novel 2D sensor material. In this study, we employed density functional theory calculations, we investigated the impact of various dopants on the BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene) sensing performance of graphene. Through the systematic analysis of electronic structures and sensitivity, we observed that both the doping method and dopant type significantly influence the interactions between graphene and BTEX molecules.

[Adsorption and Desorption Characteristics of Endosulfan in Purple Soil].

In order to reveal the residual process of endosulfan in purple soil and protect soil ecological environment, the adsorption and desorption characteristics of endosulfan in purple soil were investigated, and effects of temperature, adsorbent amount, and initial pH of adsorption solution on the adsorption capacity were also examined by static adsorption and desorption experiments. The results showed that the adsorption kinetic process could be well described by the second-order kinetic equation with the initial rate constants of α-, β-endosulfan as 0. 157 and 0.

Promoted healing of femoral defects with in situ grown fibrous composites of hydroxyapatite and poly(DL-lactide).

Although, electrospun composite fibers have shown promise in enhancing growth, differentiation, and mineralization of osteoblasts in vitro, bone repairing capabilities have not been clarified after in vivo implantation up to now. In situ grown composites (IGC) of hydroxyapatite (HA) and poly(DL-lactide) (PDLLA) were obtained from electrospun fibers grafted with gelatin as the induction sites for HA growth. The presence and location of HA nanoparticles within electrospun fibers were proposed to affect the degradation and repairing process of femoral defects.

Microwave absorption behavior of ZnO whisker modified by nanosized Fe3O4 particles.

Tetra-needle-like ZnO whisker was magnetic modified through in situ synthesis of nanosized Fe3O4 particles on the surface of the whisker, and the microwave absorption behavior of the as-prepared product was investigated in detail. The result of the comparative microwave absorbing experiment showed that the magnetic modified ZnO whisker appeared more superior property of microwave absorption than that of the original ZnO whisker in 2-18 GHz. Further investigation indicated that the microwave absorption behavior of the product was influenced by ferrite content and Fe3O4 particles' distribution in the product.
