The adsorption of O on Pt(111) was studied with Density Functional Theory calculations. Various adsorbed states of O were evaluated on clean and OH/HO-covered Pt(111) surfaces at the solid/gas and solid/liquid interfaces. The results reveal that the adsorption of O on OH/HO-covered Pt(111) surface starts with the physical adsorption of O. Two other adsorption states are reachable from the physisorbed state, the end-on, and bridging chemisorbed O. Analysis of the energetics of these adsorption states shows that O physically adsorbed at the OH/HO-covered Pt( 111) surface is a high energy state that requires activation to transition to the end-on chemisorbed O state. On the other hand, the end-on chemisorbed state can transition to the bridging chemisorbed state with only a small activation energy when a nearby Pt adsorption site is available. Frequency analysis of the physisorbed, end-on, and bridging adsorption states shows that adsorbed O stretching frequencies are close to 1400, 1300, and 900 cm, respectively.

This study aims to explore the mechanism behind the influence of stress on gas adsorption by coal during deep mining and improve the accuracy of gas disaster prevention and control. To achieve this aim, thermodynamic analysis was conducted on the process of gas adsorption by loaded coal, and modified thermodynamic model proposed by previous scholars. It is found that stress plays an important role in gas adsorption by coal.

Conventional light-driven antimicrobial strategies of zinc oxide (ZnO) are limited by inadequate illumination in dark environments. In this study, carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals (MCNC) mediated flower-like ZnO (C@Z) with self-promoted reactive oxygen species release under dark is fabricated. The adsorption of Zn ions on MCNC prompts the growth of ZnO along the (002) crystal plane, forming a flower-like hybrid with superior dispersibility and oxygen vacancies compared to MCNC-free ZnO, which exposes the (100) plane.

The presence of lead ion (Pb) in groundwater poses a serious risk to human health, even at low levels. Therefore, it is essential to develop a new strategy for both selective detection and effective removal of Pb in groundwater, which has been rarely reported. Here, we developed a multi-functional chitosan-based fluorescent sensing membrane (CM-L/CG) by using a casting method for the sensitive/selective detection and removal of Pb in groundwater.

To realize the comprehensive utilization of large amounts of high-ash coal slime and comprehensively understand the excellent performance of nutrient release and lead and cadmium adsorption of high-ash coal slime silicon composite materials, green and safe mild hydrothermal conditions (200 °C) were used to prepare the rich-rich coal slime. Zeolite/tobermorite composites (Z-TOBs) were used in this study. Batch adsorption tests and repeated extraction tests were used to determine whether silicon, potassium, and calcium nutrients of Z-TOBs have sustained release properties and are affected by pH.
