Azo dyes are of concern due to their harmful effects on the environment and human health. The oxidation of 2,2'-dihydroxyazobenzene (DHAB) catalyzed with recombinant (rCiP) peroxidase was investigated. The kinetic measurements were performed using the spectrophotometric and fluorimetric methods. The dependences of the initial reaction rates on enzyme, substrate and hydrogen peroxide concentrations during DHAB oxidation were established, and bimolecular constants of enzyme interaction with DHAB were calculated. This research demonstrated that the initial biocatalytic oxidation rates of DHAB depend on the pH and the estimated pKa values of the active forms of rCip. This study's findings thus contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the biocatalytic oxidation of DHAB, providing valuable data for assessing the long-term toxicity, carcinogenesis and epigenetic effects of azo dyes in the environment.

LiCoO2 batteries for 3C electronics demand high charging voltage and wide operating temperature range, which are virtually impossible for existing electrolytes due to aggravated interfacial parasitic reactions and sluggish kinetics. Herein, we report an electrolyte design strategy based on a partially fluorinated ester solvent (i.e.

The recovery of valuable materials from spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has experienced increasing demand in recent years. Current recycling technologies are typically energy-intensive and are often plagued by high operation costs, low processing efficiency, and environmental pollution concerns. In this study, an efficient and environmentally friendly dielectrophoresis (DEP)-based approach is proposed to separate the main components of "black mass" mixtures from LIBs, specifically lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and graphite, based on their polarizability differences.

Unveiling the key influencing factors towards electrode/electrolyte interface control is a long-standing challenge for a better understanding of microscopic electrode kinetics, which is indispensable to building up guiding principles for designer electrocatalysts with desirable functionality. Herein, we exemplify the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) via water molecule oxidation with the iridium dioxide electrocatalyst and uncovered the significant mismatching effect of pH between local electrode surface and bulk electrolyte: the intrinsic OER activity under acidic or near-neutral condition was deciphered to be identical by adjusting this pH mismatching. This result indicates that the local pH effect at the electrified solid-liquid interface plays the main role in the "fake" OER performance.

SnO thin films were deposited on Si substrates by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique, and the effects of different sputtering power (60-90 W) on the structural, surface morphological, and electrical properties of the film were investigated with XRD, Raman, AFM, SEM, and fore point probe. The deposited SnO film at lower RF was amorphous, while well-defined intense XRD signals at higher RF power indicated significant improvement in crystalline nature. E and A vibrating modes related to SnO were clearly observed in the Raman spectra.
