Published: September 2015

An unsymmetrical squaraine-based chemosensor SH2 has been synthesized, and its sensing behavior towards CO2 gas was described in detail by UV-vis and (1)H NMR spectroscopies in DMSO. The results indicated that the extremely sensitive "naked-eye" CO2 gas detection can be operated in the presence of excess [Bu4N]F (TBAF) and the sensor is easy to recycle. These properties enable SH2 to act as a CO2 and F(-) controlled "OFF-ON-OFF" switch. Combining theoretical analyses, a plausible sensing mechanism was proposed to illustrate how the receptor SH2 works as a CO2 sensitive and selective colorimetric probe in the present system.

Gas foam injection offers a viable solution to challenges faced in oil reservoirs, yet ensuring optimal foamability and stability remains a pivotal hurdle in practical field operations. This study presents a novel synthesis procedure to create silica (SiO) Janus nanoparticles (JNPs) and examines their potential to enhance gas foam stability for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications. Two variations of SiO JNPs were synthesized via a masking procedure, employing oleic acid and ascorbic acid within a Pickering emulsion, marking a pioneering approach.

Biodegradable plastics are increasingly utilized in packaging, driven by green chemistry and environmental responsibility. Among them, poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) stands out due to its biodegradability and biocompatibility. However, its limited gas permeability and selectivity hinder its application in produce preservation.

This study employed in-situ online monitoring to assess the impact of Spartina alterniflora harvesting on greenhouse gas emissions. Their fluxes and δC values were measured in unvegetated tidal flat, low and medium vegetation coverage areas of the salt marsh wetlands along the south shore of Hangzhou Bay about a month after harvest. The objective was to clarify fluxes changes and interactions with environmental factors.

The dry reforming of methane (DRM) could convert CH and CO into syngas, offering potential for greenhouse gas mitigation. However, DRM catalyst sintering and carbon deposition remain major obstacles. In this study, a highly dispersed PtNi alloy@Zr-doped 3D hollow flower-like MgAlO (AMO) spheres was prepared through a hydrophobic driving strategy.
