Here, we describe a clean vanadium extraction method using the environmentally benign lixiviant–carbonated water. This method was found to be highly selective for dissolution of vanadium, manganese, and calcium over iron. By simply using saturated aqueous CO<sub>2</sub> solutions produced in a domestic SodaStream, we have extracted vanadium from air-roasted slags with up to 50% efficiency. A modified Parr reactor was then used to achieve higher CO<sub>2</sub> saturation pressures, resulting in vanadium extraction efficiencies up to 77%. Vanadium-bearing solids were precipitated from the leachate solutions and further processed to produce both vanadium metal and a V–Mn alloy. Our results demonstrate that carbonated water leaching represents a promising alternative green chemistry route to vanadium extraction from steel slags.","PeriodicalId":25,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143582635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, Zn-doped porous carbon was synthesized via pyrolysis of ZIF-8 under a N<sub>2</sub> atmosphere and then applied as supports of Pd catalysts for DSHP. The results of aberration corrected HAADF-STEM, XRD, XPS, and TEM reveal that the Zn species in the porous carbon support exist mainly in highly dispersed ZnN<sub><i>x</i></sub>. In the reduction process, Zn atoms are first reduced by spillover hydrogen from adjacent Pd<sup>0</sup> atoms and then diffuse into Pd particles to form intermetallic PdZn. The pyrolysis temperature appears to be a crucial factor affecting the proportion of PdZn. A catalyst supported on the porous carbon obtained at a pyrolysis temperature of 850 °C has the highest proportion of PdZn (Pd/ZnC-850). The DFT simulations reveal that intermetallic PdZn shifts the <i>d</i>-band center of Pd atoms away from the Fermi level; weakens the adsorption of O<sub>2</sub>, *OOH, and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>; and shortens the length of the O–O bonds of *OOH and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. These are favorable for inhibiting cleavage of O–O bonds. Pd/ZnC-850 exhibits a superior H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> selectivity (89.6%), relatively high H<sub>2</sub> conversion, and good stability.

Herein, we demonstrate the engineering of a carbon dot (CD<i>pc</i>) uniquely designed to fit the profile of a photocatalyst to comply with all the above sustainability factors for the conversion of arylboronic acid to phenol, chosen as a model reaction due to its mild reaction conditions, ease of oxidation, and myriads of readily available derivatives. Additionally, arylboronic acids offer advantages over conventional phenol precursors such as benzenes or aryl halides, which are potentially more toxic and less environmentally friendly, further aligning this study with green chemistry principles. Derived from <span>l</span>-arginine, ethylenediamine, and glucose through controlled hydrothermal pyrolysis, the CD<i>pc</i> photocatalyst preserves key functional groups of the substrates on their surface. The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from CD<i>pc</i> upon visible white LED light (40 W) irradiation enables the <i>ipso</i>-hydroxylation of aryl boronic acids in water at room temperature under aerobic conditions with a high yield and broad substrate scope. Control reactions performed in the presence of various radical/hole scavengers established a type I ROS mechanism to be operative involving superoxide ions. Additionally, a naphthoic acid based CD<i>ms</i> was employed to monitor the reaction in real time, taking advantage of its specificity toward boric acid, the sole byproduct of the reaction. A change in emission wavelength and hence fluorescence color from green to blue upon boric acid absorption on CD<i>ms</i> embedded in agarose beads not only enables a visual cue toward the progress of the reaction but concurrently scavenges away the boric acid, making purification easy. Thus, for the first time, a dual-CD combo is presented for efficient metal and peroxide-free photocatalysis in water with the provision of simultaneous reaction monitoring and byproduct scavenging.","PeriodicalId":25,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143582636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we perform a technoeconomic analysis of processes to coproduce Portland cement and sulfuric acid from gypsum via fossil-free variations of the once-prevalent Müller–Kühne (MK) process. With credit for coproduced sulfuric acid, a sulfur-driven variant of the MK process could achieve cost parity with limestone-derived cement ($40/t clinker) with dramatic (95–99%) reductions in the emission intensity. While MK process variants would saturate sulfuric acid markets well before they dominate world cement demand, these processes could simultaneously support a circular sulfur economy through valorization of gypsum waste and constitute a pathway to cost-effective decarbonized cement from a limestone-free feedstock.","PeriodicalId":25,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering","volume":"19 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143575105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Keggin-type (Mo–V–P) heteropolyacids can provide both H<sup>+</sup> to catalyze the depolymerization of lignin into monomers and the subsequent methoxylation of α-OH with methanol and vanadium (V) to oxidize α-OH into α-ketones, subsequently avoiding the formation of C<sub>α+</sub> for repolymerization of medium products.

O<sub>2</sub> favors the regeneration of HPMoV<sub>2</sub> (V) through oxidation of HPMoV<sub>2</sub> (III), consequently leading to higher bio-oil yield. Moreover, addition of water is beneficial to both the dissolving of lignin and the following ring-opening and decarboxylation reactions of methyl benzoate, finally leading to a high alkane production. This work illustrates that HPMoV<sub>2</sub> (V) is favorable to the depolymerization of lignin with high selectivity in a methanol–water mixture, providing an efficient strategy for high-quality bio-oil production through cotton stalk lignin.","PeriodicalId":25,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143575103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the widespread implementation of PEMWEs, an understanding of their degradation mechanism is crucial. In this work, we analyze a commercial PEMWE stack via a novel approach of breaking down from the stack to the single-cell level. Therefore, the disassembled stack components are cut to fit into single cells. Then, the aged components are successively replaced with pristine or regenerated components (cleaned and polished), and electrochemical characterizations are conducted to investigate the contributions of the individual components on performance losses. In addition, several underlying degradation phenomena are identified using different physical ex-situ analysis methods. The catalyst-coated membrane (CCM) contributes the most to performance degradation because of contamination and ionomer rearrangement. Additionally, traces of calcium, likely due to insufficient water purification used during operation or for cleaning the cell components, were found. Significant oxidation was observed on the anodic components, while the electronic conductivity on the cathode side remained unchanged. The combination of electrochemical characterization with stepwise regeneration processes and physical ex-situ analysis allows to draw conclusions about the impact of different components on degradation and to analyze the underlying aging mechanisms occurring in each component.","PeriodicalId":25,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143575356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, the model of a CeO<sub>2</sub>-like cerium metal–organic framework (MOF) UiO-66-Ce-NH<sub>2</sub> was chosen to introduce a series of hydrophobic perfluoroalkyl groups into the –NH<sub>2</sub> group in the channel of the MOFs by postsynthesis modification to create a hydrophobic reaction environment and remove water molecules during the reaction process, thereby avoiding the need for additional dehydrants, denoted as UiO-66-Ce-F<sub><i>x</i></sub> (<i>x</i> = 3, 5, 7, 11, and 15). As a result, the catalytic performance of UiO-66-Ce-F<sub><i>x</i></sub> was significantly improved. Among them, UiO-66-Ce-F<sub>11</sub> exhibited the highest DMC formation rate of 408.25 mmol g<sup>–1</sup> h<sup>–1</sup> without additional dehydrants, which was about 13 times higher than that of unmodified UiO-66-Ce-NH<sub>2</sub>. Importantly, to the best of our knowledge, this has reached the highest level among currently reported catalysts for the one-step synthesis of DMC from MeOH and CO<sub>2</sub> in batch reactors. Mechanistic studies have shown that the highly efficient catalytic performance is attributed to the synergistic effect of the hydrophobicity and electron-rich capability of the fluorides in the MOF pores. On one hand, the introduction of hydrophobic fluorides creates a hydrophobic reaction site, which accelerates the transfer of water generated in real time during the reaction out of the reaction site, thereby promoting the forward reaction kinetically. On the other hand, the electron-rich fluorides optimize the electronic structure of the Ce sites, enhancing the thermodynamic adsorption and activation of the substrates CO<sub>2</sub> and MeOH. In the present work, a facile post-modification strategy to realize the synergistic promoting effect of thermodynamics and kinetics of one-step synthesis of DMC from CO<sub>2</sub> and MeOH will offer a whole new strategy to design high-efficiency catalysts for one-step synthesis of DMC.","PeriodicalId":25,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143560702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
