Biocathode systems could be used for in-situ bioremediation of chlorophenols (CPs) in constructed wetland (CW) sediments. However, little is known regarding whether or how cathode burial depths affect the dechlorination of CPs in sediments. Here, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP)-dechlorinating biocathode systems were constructed under a cathode potential of - 0.7 V (vs. a saturated calomel electrode, SCE) at three different cathode burial depths (5, 10, and 15 cm). The 2,4,6-TCP removal efficiency and average transformation rate with the biocathode increased by 21.46-36.86% and 14.63-34.88% compared to those in the non-electrode groups. Deeper cathode burial depths enhanced the 2,4,6-TCP dechlorination performance. Furthermore, the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of the sediment decreased with sediment depth and the applied potential created a more favorable redox environment for the enrichment of functional bacteria. Deeper cathode burial depths also promoted the selective enrichment of electro-active and dechlorinating bacteria (e.g., Bacillus and Dehalobacter, respectively). The biocathode thus served as the carrier, electron source, and regulator of functional bacteria to accelerate the transformation of 2,4,6-TCP (2,4,6-TCP → 2,4-dichlorophenol → 4-chlorophenol → phenol) in sediments. These results offer insights into the effects of cathode burial depth on 2,4,6-TCP dechlorination in sediments from a redox environment and microbial community structure standpoint.

Lithium-oxygen (Li-O) batteries, renowned for their high theoretical energy density, have garnered significant interest as prime candidates for future electric device development. However, their actual capacity is often unsatisfactory due to the passivation of active sites by solid-phase discharge products. Optimizing the growth and storage of these products is a crucial step in advancing Li-O batteries.

During the thermal evolution of the coal seams, the generated fluids of different periods and natures have a significant impact on tight sandstone reservoirs. To further investigate the diagenetic characteristics and reservoir genesis of the tight sandstones due to the influence of coal seams, an in-depth exploration of the causes of dissolution and cementation in the reservoirs was conducted through thin-section casting, cathode luminescence, scanning electron microscopy, carbon-oxygen isotopic analyses, and X-ray diffraction of whole rock and authigenic clay minerals, along with burial evolution history and fluid evolution history.

A fast response microsensor that can detect the distribution of CO at the microscale level is essential for the observation of biophysiological activity, carbon flux, and carbon burial. Inspired by the previous success of Cu catalysis, we attempted to use this metal Cu material to develop an amperometric microsensor that can meet the requirements. Specifically, the ambient gases diffuse through a silicone membrane into a trap casing filled with an acidic CrCl solution, where the otherwise interfering O interferent is removed by a redox with Cr.

Middle Permian Qixia Formation in the southwestern region of Sichuan (SW China) has experienced multiphase fluidisation, resulting in an unclear understanding of the reservoir reconstruction effect. In this study, a systematic analysis of the Qi2 member in Wulong Town was carried out by combining field outcrop petrology and geochemistry. The results demonstrated that multiple sets of crystalline dolomite-bioclastic limestone cycles were stacked vertically in the Qi2 member, accompanied by the development of fractures and karst channels.

The main types of diagenesis, diagenetic minerals and their formation time sequence in the Ordovician ultradeep (>7000 m total depth) carbonate reservoir represented by the Yingshan and Penglaiba Formations (well Tashen-6, Tahe Oilfied, Tarim Basin), are determined by applying microscopic observations, microscopic fluorescence detection, and cathodic luminescence analysis in petrographic thin sections. The distinct periods of reservoir diagenesis and hydrocarbon-related events are determined by analyzing the development characteristics of hydrocarbon inclusions and their relationship with the host minerals. The charging periods of hydrocarbon inclusions are identified by constraining the homogenization temperatures of inclusions.
