evolution of bulk-active γ-CoOOH with immobilized Gd dopants enabling efficient oxygen evolution electrocatalysis.

Promoting the reconstruction of transition metal (TM)-based precatalysts into low-crystalline and well-modified TM (oxy)hydroxides (TMOH) during the alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial for enhancing their catalytic performances. In this study, we incorporated gadolinium (Gd) into a cobalt hydroxide precatalyst, achieving a deep reconstruction into cobalt oxyhydroxide (γ-CoOOH) while retaining the incorporated Gd during the activation process of the alkaline OER. The unconventional non-leaching Gd dopants endow γ-CoOOH with reduced crystallinity, increasing the exposure of electrolyte-accessible Co atoms and enhancing its bulk activity.

[Characterization and optimization of a heterotrophic bacterium for sulfide degradation].

The emission of hydrogen sulfide in the waste gas from slaughter plant, fishmeal feed processing and some other food industrial processing could cause serious air pollution to the surrounding environment. The purpose of this study was to screen heterotrophic bacterium strains for the removal of hydrogen sulfide odor. One heterotrophic bacterial mutant ZJNB-B3 was derived from the sulfide degrader Bacillus cereus XJ-2 and its sulfide removal efficiency was 97%.

Identification of a yeast strain able to oxidize and remove sulfide high efficiently.

Hydrogen sulfide is a common odor gas of volatile sulfur-containing compound. The emission of hydrogen sulfide in the waste gas from industrial processing and agricultural operations could cause air pollution to the surrounding environment. The aim of this study was screening and isolation of wild yeast strains from the sludge of sewage pool in the fishmeal processing plant to remove hydrogen sulfide odor.

Indium(III)-dicarboxylic microporous frameworks with high adsorption selectivity for CO2 over N2.

Two microporous metal-organic frameworks formulated as H2In3O(OH)3(1,3-bdc)3 (1) and HIn(1,4-bdc)2 (2) (bdc = benzenedicarboxylic) were designed and synthesized. Compound 2 shows a high adsorption selectivity for CO2 over N2 as well as a high stability.

Water soluble carbon nanoparticles: hydrothermal synthesis and excellent photoluminescence properties.

Water-soluble carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) were fabricated by a facile, one step hydrothermal synthetic route using acid/alkali as additives.

Tuning metal@metal salt photocatalytic abilities by different charged anions.

A series of high performance Ag@Ag salts photocatalysts were designed and fabricated. The photocatalytic abilities of this kind of catalysts can be tuned by altering the negative charged ions (Cl(-), Br(-), I(-), CrO(4)(2-), PO(4)(3-), PW(12)O(40)(3-), and SiW(12)O(40)(4-)): higher stability and higher charged anions lead to the stronger photocatalytic ability.
