This work studied the effects on the anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge by zero valent iron nanoparticles (NZVI) dosage. Biochemical methane potential tests were carried out with 5-9 mg/g (99.7%, 40-60 nm). The biogas yield increased from 132 (control) to 310 mL/g with 9 mg/g. The methane content increased from 63.2% (control) to 77.6% with NZVI, which corresponded to a maximum yield of 238 mLCH/g with 9 mg/g. The maximum VS reduction was 19.6%. The highest INT-ETS activity (20.1-37.1 µgINT/g·h) corresponding to the maximum values of sCOD was reached within the first days. NZVI decreased the ORP to -300 mV and increased the VFA's concentration (+2000 mg/L). The ORP-VFA-pH analysis showed that NZVI promoted the acidogenesis-acetogenesis without acidification. That is, NZVI was effective in intensifying the performance and stability of the process.

With increasing concern about the environmental pollution of petrochemical plastics, people are constantly exploring environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative materials. Compared with petrochemical materials, cellulose has overwhelming superiority in terms of mechanical properties, thermal properties, cost, and biodegradability. However, the flammability of cellulose hinders its practical application to a certain extent, so improving the fire-retardant properties of cellulose nanofiber-based materials has become a research focus.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a critical condition affecting the central nervous system that often has permanent and debilitating consequences, including secondary injuries. Oxidative damage and inflammation are critical factors in secondary pathological processes. Selenium nanoparticles have demonstrated significant antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties via a non-immunosuppressive pathway; however, their clinical application has been limited by their inadequate stability and functionality to cross the blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB).

Perovskite heterostructures have attracted wide interest for their photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications. The interdiffusion of halide anions leads to the poor stability and shorter lifetime of the halide perovskite heterostructures. Covering organic cations on the surface of perovskite heterostructures, the diffusion of ions can effectively be suppressed.

Copper-tantalate, CuTaO (CTO), shows significant promise as an efficient photocathode for multi-carbon compounds (C) production through photoelectrochemical (PEC) CO reduction, owing to its suitable energy bands and catalytic surface. However, synthesizing CTO poses a significant challenge due to its metastable nature and thermal instability. In this study, this challenge is addressed by employing a flux-mediated synthesis technique using a sodium-based flux to create sodium-doped CTO (Na-CTO) thin films, providing enhanced nucleation and stabilization for the CTO phase.
