Polysaccharide chitosan and L-histidine were applied to synthesize chitosan-based carbon dots (CA-CDs) by a simple laser ablation method. After characterization of the CA-CDs by FT-IR, UV-vis, Raman, XRD, TEM, and XPS, the CA-CDs were introduced as an eco-friendly and high-performance corrosion inhibitor for mild steel (MS) in 1.0 M HCl solution. The inhibition action and mechanism of CA-CDs were determined by weight loss and electrochemical measurements, in combination with SEM, AFM, and XPS. The results show that CA-CDs as mixed-type inhibitors could effectively weaken the corrosion of MS in 1.0 M HCl solution, and their maximum inhibition efficiency reaches 97.4 % at 40 mg L. The adsorption behavior of CA-CDs well obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm containing both chemisorption and physisorption. The chemisorption mainly results from the multiple adsorption sites in the CA-CDs, and the physical adsorption is due to the blocking and barrier effect of CA-CD nanoparticles. Both adsorption behaviors were proposed to elucidate the corrosion inhibition mechanism of CA-CDs.

Incorporating chlorine into the SnO electron transport layer (ETL) has proven effective in enhancing the interfacial contact between SnO and perovskite in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, previous studies have primarily focused on the role of chlorine in passivating surface trap defects in SnO, without considering its influence on the buried interface. Here, hydrochloric acid (HCl) is introduced as a chlorine source into commercial SnO to form Cl-capped SnO (Cl-SnO) ETL, aiming to optimize the buried interface of the PSC.

Cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) contamination risk in paddy soils has raised global concern. In order to scientifically and objectively evaluate the bioavailability of soil Cd, As and the risk of Cd or As threshold in contaminated farmland, this study was conducted to investigate different types of extractants for their potential extraction efficiency of Cd and As. Soils from two different parent materials in Hunan, Yueyang and Yiyang, typical double-cropping rice production areas in the south of China, were used as test soils.

Technical alkaline lignin (TAL)-based composite films have been developed for anti-corrosion applications, during which one-component solvents, including acetone and ethanol, were employed. The poor solubility of TAL in the abovementioned solvents undoubtedly resulted in inhomogeneous surface micromorphology and the consequent unstable performance. The present study provides a series of ethylcellulose/TAL (EC/TAL) composite films with uniform surface microstructure by using the 1,4-dioxane/water binary solvent.
