A novel, efficient and stable 2D black phosphorus and tungsten trioxide heterojunction (WO-BPNs) was successfully synthesized using a combined hydrothermal, liquid phase exfoliating and co-precipitation method. The as-obtained WO-BPNs composite was characterized by using XRD, SEM, XPS, UV-vis, The results showed that the bandgap energy of the WO-BPNs50 sample was 2.2 eV, which was lower than that of pure WO. BPNs in the WO-BPNs heterojunction as a co-catalyst effectively enhanced photo-generated electron-hole pairs separation. The synthesized WO-BPNs sample significantly improved the photocatalytic performance in degrading rhodamine B (RhB) and metoprolol (MET) compared to pure WO and BPNs under visible-light. The maximum RhB and MET removal efficiencies were 92% and 87%, respectively, in the WO-BPNs50 (added 50 mL BPNs dispersion) sample within 120 minutes. The relevant photocatalysis mechanisms were discussed. In addition, the intermediate products in the MET photodegradation process were investigated by LC-MS technology, and the degradation pathway of MET was proposed.

Detection of low-abundance mutations for the early discovery of fungicide-resistant fungal pathogens is highly demanded, but remains challenging. Herein, we developed a dual-recognition strategy, termed PARPA, involving s Argonaute (pfAgo)-mediated elimination of wild-type fungal genes and CRISPR/Cas12a-based amplicon recognition. This assay can detect fungicide-resistant at relative abundances as low as 0.

The use of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in agriculture is increasingly recognized as a sustainable method to boost crop yields, reduce chemical fertilizer use, and improve soil health. However, the microbial mechanisms by which inoculation with nitrogen-fixing bacteria enhance rice production remain unclear. In this study, rice seedlings were inoculated with the nitrogen-fixing bacterium R3 (Herbaspirillum) at the rhizosphere during the seedling stage in a pot experiment using paddy soil.

The need for stringent phosphorus removal from domestic wastewater is increasing to mitigate eutrophication, while efficient phosphate reuse is critical due to the global phosphate crisis. Combining aluminum sulfate (ALS) with high molecular weight organic polymers achieved 95-99% removal of particles, turbidity, and phosphates, reducing ALS usage by 40%. We propose mechanisms to explain the enhanced treatment efficiency.
