Hydrothermal synthesis with an organic template of ,, trimethyl-1-adamantammonium hydroxide (TMAdaOH) is the most commonly used method to prepare an SSZ-13 zeolite membrane. In this paper, the synthesized membrane was treated in heated sodium chloride to remove TMAdaOH instead of calcination in air. The surface of the membrane was modified by the heated NaCl and resulted in an improved CO/CH gas separation selectivity. TMAda in the channels of SSZ-13 zeolite decomposed completely, and the treatment time was shortened significantly compared with calcination in air. The recrystallization of zeolite reacting with heated NaCl was the possible reason for the improved gas separation performance of the membrane.

An MIL-53(FeNiCo) decorated BiVO photoanode for efficient photoelectrochemical water oxidation.

Dalton Trans

January 2025

Shanxi Key Laboratory of Gas Energy Efficient and Clean Utilization, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Taiyuan University of Technology, Taiyuan, Shanxi 030024, China.

BiVO is considered as one of the important candidate materials for photoelectrochemical water splitting technology. However, the low efficiency of charge separation and poor kinetics of water oxidation limit its performance in PEC water splitting. In this work, a BiVO/MIL-53(FeNiCo) photoanode was constructed by a facile hydrothermal deposition method, exhibiting excellent water oxidation ability under AM 1.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating disease of the neonatal gastrointestinal tract. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odoriferous compounds released as a byproduct of bacterial metabolism, can be used as a proxy for gut health. We hypothesized that patients with NEC would have different microbial profiles and elicit different VOC signatures as assessed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) or an electronic nose compared to controls.

Light interacts with gas bubbles in various ways, potentially leading to photon losses in gas-liquid photochemical applications. Given that light is a valuable 'reagent', understanding these losses is crucial for optimizing reactor efficiency. In this study, we address the challenge of quantifying these interactions by implementing a method that separately determines the photon flux and utilizes actinometric experiments to determine the effective optical path length, a key descriptor of photon absorption.

Loading with non-metal cocatalysts to regulate interfacial charge transfer and separation has become a prominent focus in current research. In this study, g-CN/CNT composites loaded with non-metallic cocatalysts were prepared through pyrolysis using urea and CNTs. Various characterization techniques, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), photoelectrochemical (PEC) analysis, fluorescence lifetime spectroscopy (TRPL), electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (ESR), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, were employed to analyze the sample's microstructure, phase composition, elemental chemical states, and photoelectronic properties.

Clouds reduce downwelling longwave radiation over land in a warming climate.

Nature

January 2025

Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Clouds greatly influence the Earth's energy balance. Observationally constraining cloud radiative feedback, a notably uncertain climate feedback mechanism, is crucial for improving predictions of climate change but, so far, remains an elusive objective, and the feedback may be different over the ocean versus over land. Here we show a local negative surface longwave cloud feedback over land at the southern Great Plains site, constrained by direct long-term observation of spectrally resolved downwelling longwave radiance.
