To clarify the K modified effects over activated carbon (AC) supported Mn-Ce oxide catalysts, several Mn-Ce/AC and K-Mn-Ce/AC mixed oxide catalysts prepared via an impregnation method supported on AC were investigated for low-temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH in the simulated sintering flue gas. The Mn-Ce/AC catalyst with a K loading of 8% showed the highest catalytic activity, corresponding to 92.1% NO conversion and 92.5% N selectivity at 225 °C with a space velocity of 12,000 h. Furthermore, the 0.08K-Mn-Ce/AC catalyst exhibited better resistance to SO and HO than Mn-Ce/AC, which could convert 72.3% and 74.1% of NO at the presence of 5% SO and HO, respectively. After K modification, the relative ratios of Mn/Mn as well as Ce/Ce and surface adsorbed oxygen increased. Additionally, the reduction performance of the catalyst was improved obviously, and both acid strength and quantity of acid sites increased significantly after the K species were introduced in Mn-Ce/AC. Especially, the NO adsorption capacity of the catalyst was enhanced, which remarkably promoted the denitration efficiency and SO resistance. The SCR of NO with NH on K-Mn-Ce/AC catalysts followed the L-H mechanism.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exhibit intriguing characteristics that position them as promising candidates for advancements in organic semiconductor technologies. Notably, tetracene finds substantial utility in Electronics due to its application in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). The strategic introduction of an isoelectronic boron-nitrogen (B,N) pair to replace a carbon-carbon pair in acenes introduces changes in the electronic structure, allowing for the controlled modulation of diradical characteristics.

Here, a straightforward design is employed to synthesize a nanocatalyst based on a carbon-activated modified metal-organic framework using the solvothermal method. This work presents a simple and practical approach for producing the activated carbon derived from the Thymus plant (ACT) modified with amine-functionalized isoreticular metal-organic framework-3 (IRMOF-3) to create an ACT@IRMOF-3 core-shell structure. Successful functionalization was confirmed through N adsorption isotherms, FT-IR, FE-SEM, TEM, EDS, elemental mapping, TGA, and XRD analysis.

Rural areas in Ethiopia serve as the primary source of charcoal for urban populations, mainly produced using traditional kilns. However, this traditional method significantly contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, exacerbating climate change and deforestation. While banning charcoal production is not currently feasible in Ethiopia because of the lack of affordable alternative energy sources (fuel), improving the efficiency of the traditional production system can mitigate the climate impact caused by charcoal production.

Ammonium-ion hybrid supercapacitors (AIHSCs) have gained extensive attention due to their high safety and environmental friendliness. Manganese oxides are among the most promising cathode materials; however, the side electrochemical reactions occurring in aqueous electrolytes limit their reversible capacities and energy densities. This work prepares the β-/γ-MnO electrode and reveals the side electrochemical reactions occurring in the (NH)SO electrolyte.

The self-replication of misfolded prion protein (PrP) aggregates is the major pathological event of different prion diseases, affecting mammal brains by cross-species transmission. Here, the structural modulation of PrP aggregates are reported by activated carbon materials upon near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. Activated carbon cobalt (ACC) nanosheets are synthesized using glycerol and metal salts to utilize the charge carriers released under NIR light exposure.
