The role of hydrogen adsorption on different clean surface models for the carbon terminated β-SiC(100)-c(2 × 2) surface structure is investigated through the use of ab initio calculations. The structural and electronic effect of hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon and/or silicon dimers is specifically considered and compared with the results for a clean surface model. The presence of adsorbed hydrogen atoms affects the atomic equilibrium positions, as well as electronic properties, of the atoms of the clean structure. These last properties are altered in different directions if the adsorption occurs in one or the other of the two investigated models. The changes in both structural and electronic properties were evaluated and compared with those of the clean surface. From our obtained results, a possible metallization, as a result of hydrogen adsorption, is theoretically postulated to occur in a similar way to what occurs with the silicon terminated β-SiC(100)(3 × 2) surface.

This study shows the efficiency of WH-C450, an adsorbent obtained from water hyacinth (WH) biomass, in the removal of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from aqueous solutions. The process involves calcination of WH at 450 °C to produce an optimal adsorbent material capable of removing up to 73% of SMX and maximum SMX adsorption capacity of 132.23 mg/g.

Plastic waste conversion into valuable chemicals is a promising alternative to landfill or incineration. In particular, the chemical upcycling of polybutadiene rubber (PBR) could provide a renewable route towards highly desirable α,ω-dienes with varying chain lengths, which can find ample industrial application. While previous research has shown that the treatment of polybutadiene with a consecutive hydrogenation and ethenolysis reaction can afford long-chain α,ω-dienes, achieving precise control over the product chain length remains an important bottleneck.

At present, the modification of palladium (Pd) catalysts is an important topic due to its potential to enhance catalytic performance and reduce catalyst costs. In this work, boron (B) and carbon (C) are interstitially doped into the subsurface of Pd to construct PdB and PdC catalysts. The adsorption properties of acetylene and ethylene, the mechanism of acetylene hydrogenation, and ethylene selectivity are studied based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Electronic grade hydrogen peroxide plays a crucial role in the fabrication of large-scale integrated circuits. However, hydrogen peroxide prepared by the anthraquinone method contains impurities such as lead ions (Pb) and phosphate, which can seriously affect the yield of the circuit. Traditional adsorbent materials have difficulty in solving the problem of simultaneous adsorption of trace anions and cations in hydrogen peroxide due to the single adsorption site and poor adsorption kinetics.
