Development of electrode materials exhibiting exceptional phosphate removal performance represents a promising strategy to mitigate eutrophication and meet ever-stricter stringent emission standards. Herein, we precisely designed a novel LaCeO heterostructure-decorated hierarchical carbon composite (L8C2PC) for high-efficiency phosphate electrosorption. This approach establishes an internal electric field within the LaCeO heterostructure, where the electrons transfer from Ce atoms to neighboring La atoms through superexchange interactions in La-O-Ce coordination units.

Herein, a novel visible-light driven photo-electrochemical membrane stripping cell (designated "PECMA") with AgS-BiVO heterojunction photoanode was proposed to recover ammonium from dilute wastewater, which comprised an anode chamber for organics treatment, intermediate chamber for separating ammonium, cathode chamber for upcycling NH into NH, and recovery chamber for converting NH into (NH)SO. The NH is concentrated by 21.

However, how and under what conditions corporate social responsibility activities influence green innovation performance in emerging economies is still unclear. From the perspective of the theory of planned behavior, we construct a theoretical model to assess how corporate social responsibility activities affect enterprises' green innovation performance.

In MFC, the maximum power density increased to 2437±55 mW m(-2), which was 2 times of that with AC. The open circuit potential (OCP) of Fe-N-C cathode (0.
