Co3 O4 -modified CeO2 (Co/Ce 1:4) was prepared by a combination of sol-gel processing and solvothermal treatment. The distribution of Co was controlled by means of the synthesis protocol to yield three different morphologies, namely, Co3 O4 nanoparticles located on the surface of CeO2 particles, coexistent Co3 O4 and CeO2 nanoparticles, or Co oxide structures homogeneously distributed within CeO2 . The effect of the different morphologies on the properties of Co3 O4 -CeO2 was investigated with regard to the crystallite phase(s), particle size, surface area, and catalytic activity for CO oxidation. The material with Co3 O4 nanoparticles finely dispersed on the surface of CeO2 particles had the highest catalytic activity.

Article Synopsis
- Photocatalytic hydrogen production using solar energy is an effective solution for energy and environmental issues, but inefficiencies arise from the rapid recombination of charges in semiconductor catalysts.
- Researchers used a co-catalyst loading strategy, specifically incorporating cobalt sulfide (CoS) onto bulk carbon nitride (BCN), to enhance photocatalytic performance for hydrogen production.
- The optimal CoS-BCN composite (with 15% CoS) showed a performance improvement of 156 times compared to BCN alone, as CoS nanoparticles facilitate electron transfer and reduce charge recombination, enhancing hydrogen evolution efficiency.

Resolving the three-dimensional structure of transition metal oxide nanoparticles (TMO-NPs), upon self-restructuring from solution, is crucial for tuning their structure-functionality. Yet, this remains challenging as this process entails complex structure fluctuations, which are difficult to track experimentally and, hence, hinder the knowledge-driven optimization of TMO-NPs. Herein, we combine high-energy synchrotron X-ray absorption and X-ray total scattering experiments with atomistic multiscale simulations to investigate the self-restructuring of self-assembled Co-NPs from solution under dark or photocatalytic water oxidation conditions at distinct reaction times and atomic length-scales.

Heterogeneous composite catalysts have gained significant attention in recent years due to their cleanliness, high efficiency, and stable performance. However, the difficulty of recovery and high cost have always limited the development of heterogeneous composite catalysts. Herein, flexible lignin-based carbon fiber (LCF) membranes with easy recovery and low cost were prepared by electrospinning and carbonization using rice straw lignin waste and polyacrylonitrile (PAN).

To eliminate contaminated organic matter from water and wastewater, a stable, recyclable, and environmentally friendly nano-biocomposite was designed. The magnetic FeO nanoparticles were functionalized by SiO/N--(aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyl/glutaraldehyde/chitosan/Cobalt to fabricate nano-biocomposite (FS-(Am//Cs)@CoNPs). The morphological/structural identification of nano-biocomposite was carried out by ICP-OES, DR-UV, XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, HR-TEM, BET, EDX, FT-IR, TGA, and VSM techniques.
