Hg-based chalcogenides possess diverse structures, large nonlinear-optical (NLO) responses, and suitable birefringences, making them potentially suitable for numerous crucial criteria of practical application as infrared (IR) NLO crystals. Here, a new pentanary Hg-based sulfide KBaHgInS has been discovered by a high-temperature solid-state method. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic 222 space group, and its one-dimensional structure is constructed by {[InS]} chains and isolated [HgS] planar quadrilateral units located bewteeen the chains, representing a novel type of chalcogenide. KBaHgInS exhibits a moderate NLO effect of 0.5 × AGS at 2.1 μm and a high laser-induced damage threshold of ∼5.8 × AGS, as well as a band gap of 2.98 eV, demonstrating that KBaHgInS is a potential IR NLO material. This work enriches the structural chemistry of chalcogenides and the family of Hg-based IR NLO chalcogenides.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS) shows promise in treating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI), but the challenge of controlled and sustained release hinders its clinical utility. In this study, we developed a platelet membrane-encapsulated mesoporous silica nanoparticle loaded with the HS donor diallyl trisulfide (PM-MSN-DATS). PM-MSN-DATS demonstrated optimal encapsulation efficiency and drug-loading content.

Anaerobic co-digestion is emerging as an option for wastewater biosolids management. Variations in treatment parameters can impact odour emissions and, in turn, odour nuisance reduces community acceptance and alternatives for beneficial reuse of biosolids via land application. This study assessed odour emissions from digested sludge and biosolids resulting from the anaerobic co-digestion of wastewater sludge with beverage rejects (beer and cola) and food wastes.

Due to the outbreak of global public health emergency, antibacterial fabrics such as face masks are in great demand. However, common antibacterial fabrics cannot kill bacteria in minutes and they are easy to be contaminated and lost biological activity. In this work, omnipotent antibacterial cotton fabrics with superhydrophobic and photothermal properties are developed by the combination of dopamine with copper sulfide (CuS) and silver nanoparticles on cotton fabrics, and post-modification with PDMS.

Activated alumina-based composite oxide support is a commonly used support in hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalysts, which not only retains the performance advantages of each component in the composite oxide support, but also significantly improves the defects of a single activated alumina support, such as the strong metal-support force of interaction. In this study, NiO-AlO composite support was prepared by introducing NiO-modified AlO, and MoS/NiO-AlO catalysts were prepared for the hydrodesulfurization of COS by liquid phase reduction method. In the COS hydrogenation reaction, the MoS/NiO-AlO catalyst achieved complete conversion of COS at 220 °C and showed more than 99.
