Article Abstract
The atmospheric chemistry of nitrous acid (HONO) has received extensive attention because of its significant contribution to hydroxyl (OH) radicals. Heterogeneous reaction of NO is an important HONO source, and its reaction mechanism is affected by many factors, such as concentration of gaseous NO, surface adsorbed water, relative humidity and temperature. Although laboratory studies have confirmed the effect of temperature on heterogeneous reaction of NO, there are few field observations reporting about it. We have conducted a field observation in the early spring 2021 when the temperature ranges widely (-0.1-24.7 °C). Concentrations of HONO and related pollutants at the urban area of Beijing are obtained. The hourly averaged HONO concentration reaches 4.87 ppb with a mean value of 1.48 ± 1.09 ppb. Combined with box model and RACM2 mechanism, we found an optimal temperature (∼10 °C) existing for heterogeneous reaction of NO during this measurement. When considering the promotion effect of optimal temperature, the contribution of heterogeneous reaction of NO to HONO can increase by 10%. This result will provide essential information for developing an accurate model of HONO chemistry in the atmosphere especially for certain periods or regions with temperature changing largely. Moreover, heterogeneous reaction of NO is the vital source of HONO, contributing 63-76% to simulated HONO during this measurement. Note that HONO photolysis is the most important formation pathway of OH radicals, and ambient HONO concentration is the obbligato constraint for evaluating atmospheric oxidation by model simulations.

The active site density, intrinsic activity, and supporting substrate of cobalt phosphide catalysts are vital to their performance in alkaline water electrolysis. In this work, a CoP/CoP loaded on cellulose nanofiber-derived carbon aerogels (CP/CCAs) bifunctional electrocatalyst with a three-dimensional network and heterostructure is illustrated through sequential facile hydrothermal, freeze-drying, and phosphorylation processes. The three-dimensional network of carbon aerogels derived from cellulose nanofibers reveals a specific surface area of 183.

Enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulosic biomass is a complex process involving many factors, including multiple enzymes, heterogeneous substrates, and multi-step enzyme reactions. Cellulase researchers have conventionally used a double-exponential equation to fit the experimental time course of product formation, but no theoretical basis for this has been established. Here we present a mechanism-based equation that fits well the progress curves of cellulase reaction, incorporating the concepts of non-productive and productive binding on the cellulose surface and processivity.

Nanofluidics is a system of fluid transport limited to a nano-confined space, including the transport of ions and molecules. The use of intelligent nanofluidics has shown great potential in energy conversion. However, ion transport is hindered by homogeneous membranes with uniform charge distribution and concentration polarization, which often leads to an undesirable power conversion performance.

Industrial organic dyes represent a significant portion of pollutants discharged into the environment, particularly by the textile industry. These compounds pose serious threats to living organisms due to their high toxicity. Various techniques have been explored for the degradation of organic dyes, among which heterogeneous photocatalysis utilising titanium dioxide (TiO) stands out as a promising technology.
