This work designed and synthesized novelly selective, highly efficient and friendly environmental biochar nanomaterial (ZMBC@ChCl-EG) by screening suitable deep eutectic solvent (DES) as the functional monomer via Density Functional Theory (DFT). The prepared ZMBC@ChCl-EG achieved the highly efficient adsorption of methcathinone (MC) and exhibited excellent selectivity as well as good reusability. Selectivity analysis concluded that the distribution coefficient value (K) of ZMBC@ChCl-EG towards MC was 3.247 L/g, which was about 3 times higher than that of ZMBC, corresponding to stronger selective adsorption capacity. The studies of isothermal and kinetics indicated that ZMBC@ChCl-EG had an excellent adsorption capacity towards MC and the adsorption was mainly chemically controlled. In addition, DFT was used to calculate the binding energies between MC and each component. The binding energies were -10.57 kcal/mol for ChCl-EG/MC, -3.15∼-9.51 kcal/mol for BCs/MC, -2.33 kcal/mol for ZIF-8/MC, respectively, suggesting that DES played a major role in enhancing methcathinone adsorption. Lastly, the adsorption mechanisms were revealed by variables experiment combined with characterizations and DFT calculation. The main mechanisms were hydrogen bonding and π-π interaction.

Three-dimensional (3D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold significant promise for a variety of applications. However, conventional design approaches using regular building blocks limit the structural diversity of 3D COFs. Here we design and synthesize two 3D COFs, designated as JUC-644 and JUC-645, through a methodology that relies on using eight-connected building blocks with reduced symmetry.

Diatomic catalysts featuring a tunable structure and synergetic effects hold great promise for various reactions. However, their precise construction with specific configurations and diverse metal combinations is still challenging. Here, a selective etching and metal ion adsorption strategy is proposed to accurately assign a second metal atom (M) geminal to the single atom site (M-N) for constructing diatomic sites (e.

An efficient adsorbent for Ga(III) recovery was developed by applying the geochemical principles of Ga mineralization, using Al-rich clay minerals with a natural affinity for Ga as the raw material. Sodium alginate (SA) facilitated the cross-linked assembly of montmorillonite nanosheets (MMTNS), forming a three-dimensional structured hydrogel. This was achieved through electrostatic interactions between -OH groups on the edges of MMTNS and -COO groups in SA, as well as the complexation of Ca and -COO groups.

Macrocyclic polymer materials exhibit excellent selectivity and adsorption performance in pollutant adsorption due to unique host-guest recognition. Herein, three kinds of calixarene polymers (C4P, C6P and C8P) were synthesized through Sonogashira reaction, and were characterized through H NMR, FT-IR, SEM, and TEM. The water contact angle experiments revealed that three kinds of calixarene polymers were highly hydrophobic, and they all exhibited high enrichment efficiency for weak polar chloro-substituted benzene compounds (chlorobenzene, o-chlorotoluene, p-dichlorobenzene and o-dichlorobenzene) and BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes).

Engineering the local coordination environment of single metal atoms is an effective strategy to improve their catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability. In this study, we develop an asymmetric Pd-Ag diatomic site on the surface of g-CN for the selective electrocatalytic semihydrogenation of alkynes. The single Pd atom catalyst, which has a locally symmetric Pd coordination, was inactive for the semihydrogenation of phenylacetylene in a 1 M KOH and 1,4-dioxane solution at an applied potential of -1.
