Published: May 2021

As an additive to improve the performance of asphalt binder, tire pyrolysis carbon black is gradually being used in road engineering, but the effect of carbon black (CB) with different particle sizes on asphalt modification remains to be further studied. In this study, three kinds of particle sizes and three kinds of contents of CB were used to modify asphalt, and different tests were conducted to research the high temperature performance and fatigue resistance of carbon black modified asphalt binder. It is found that the addition of CB can enhance the rutting resistance and medium temperature fatigue performance of virgin asphalt binder in general. However, for CB of 270 μm and 2.6 μm, its addition under certain contents lead to the decrease of high temperature performance and fatigue performance of the asphalt binder. For aged asphalt, the addition of CB decreases the rutting resistance and improves the fatigue resistance. The recommended content and particle size of CB are 2% and 2.6 μm. This study refines the complex effects of CB on asphalt properties, providing a reference for determining the size and content of CB in asphalt modification.

Carbon perovskite solar cells (C-PSCs) represent a promising photovoltaic technology that addresses the long-term operating stability needed to compete with commercial Si solar cells. However, the poor interface contacts between the carbon electrode and the perovskite result in a gap between C-PSC's performances and state-of-the-art PSCs based on metallic back electrodes. In this work, Cu (II) phthalocyanine (CuPc) was rediscovered as an effective hole-transporting material (HTM) to be coupled with carbon electrodes.

The purification efficiency of autoexhaust carbon strongly depends on the heterogeneous interface structure between active metal and oxide, which can modulate the local electronic structure of defect sites to promote the activation of reactant molecules. Herein, the high-dispersion CuO clusters supported on the well-defined CeO nanorods were prepared using the complex deposition slow method. The formation of heteroatomic Cu-O-Ce interfacial structural units as active sites can capture electrons to achieve activation of the NO and O molecules.

Quantifying how co-acting global change factors (GCFs) influence plant invasion is crucial for predicting future invasion dynamics. We did a meta-analysis to assess pairwise effects of five GCFs (elevated CO, drought, eutrophication, increased rainfall and warming) on native and alien plants. We found that alien plants, compared to native plants, suffered less or benefited more for four of the eight pairwise GCF combinations, and that all GCFs acted additively.

The maritime transport sector poses significant air quality concerns, particularly in nearby cities. Ultrafine particles (UFP, diameter < 100 nm) are of particular concern due to their potential health impacts. This study measured particle number concentrations (PNC), size distributions (PNSD), and other pollutants including particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NO), black carbon (BC), sulfur dioxide (SO) and ozone (O), organic markers and trace elements at a major European harbor and an urban background (UB) location.

NO is a significant primary atmospheric pollutant that plays a key role in atmospheric chemistry. It serves as a crucial precursor to photochemical smog, acid rain, and secondary particulate matter and is instrumental in determining the atmospheric oxidation capacity. In this review, we focus on the heterogeneous chemistry of NO, which has been demonstrated to significantly influence the sources and sinks of various nitrogen-containing species through field measurements and model simulations.
