Herein, we demonstrate that two-dimensional (2D) graphene-nanoconfined water in a slit-like graphene-membrane nanofluidic device can form a 2D/3D water interface with a 3D bulk aqueous phase and a preference for protons over other monovalent cations for transfer across such a novel 2D/3D water interface. This provides a new approach to studying 2D graphene-nanoconfined water.

Effective and reliable prediction for ecotoxicity, especially when affecting different levels of trophic chains, including humans, is increasingly gaining even more prominence as ecosystems face new threats and challenges, as that posed by the per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Toxicological prediction of PFAS in aquatic organisms, such as zebrafish, can be efficiently achieved through computational ecotoxicological approaches which are fully aligned with the state-of-the-art of new approach methodologies (NAMs) and current regulatory recommendations. Specifically in this work, the PFAS toxicodynamics interaction on the zebrafish mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel (zfVDAC2) was evaluated, mimicking in silico the PFAS bioaccumulation in low-concentration by integrating structure-based virtual screening (SB-VS) and predictive quantitative structure-activity(mitotoxicity) relationship (QSAR) methodologies (e.

Photocatalytic degradation is a promising strategy for environmental remediation. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) is the most extensively reported metal-free material. Hierarchical flower-shaped BiWO particles were obtained using a simple hydrothermal method, with petals of flower-like BiWO with oxygen vacancies (BiWO OVs) with controlled content successfully decorated on g-CN nanosheets.

Precise catalyst design is essential in the electrolysis of water to deliver clean energy, where the challenge is to construct highly active sites at the electrocatalyst interface. In this study, CoPVP/NFF (NiFe foam) and Mo-CoPVP/NFF precursors were synthesized sequentially in a hydrothermal procedure using NiFe foam as substrate with the ultimate formation of a NiFeCoMoS/NFF electrocatalyst by vulcanization at 350°. The NiFeCoMoS/NFF system exhibits a complex 1D-2D-3D composite structure with 1D nanoparticles attached to a 2D nano-paper on the surface of the 3D NiFe foam.
