The constructed CoNS@BC/PMS oxidation system exhibited excellent performance with an OFX degradation rate of 0.695 min<sup>−1</sup>, which was 1.5 times higher than that of Co@BC. Quenching experiments, EPR analyses, and probe experiments indicated that Co-N<sub>2</sub>S<sub>1</sub> sites could convert the non-radical oxidation in the Co@BC/PMS to the free radical oxidation in the CoNS@BC/PMS system. XPS analysis, in situ spectroscopy (Raman and FTIR), and DFT calculations elucidated the structural-catalytic relationship between the Co-N<sub>2</sub>S<sub>1</sub> sites and PMS activation. The asymmetric coordination of N and S increased the adsorption energy of Co-N<sub>2</sub>S<sub>1</sub> sites for PMS by elevating the d-band center of Co, leading to O-O breakage and formation of free radicals. Furthermore, graphitic N could accelerate the oxidation of Co<sup>Ⅱ</sup> to Co<sup>Ⅲ</sup>. The doped S and pyridinic N would reduce Co<sup>Ⅲ</sup> to Co<sup>Ⅱ</sup> and trigger the Co<sup>Ⅱ</sup>–Co<sup>Ⅲ</sup>–Co<sup>Ⅱ</sup> valence cycle, which significantly enhanced the catalytic activity of CoNS@BC. The effective degradation of OFX in different matrix environments and the stable removal in a continuous column reactor demonstrated the considerable potential of CoNS@BC/PMS system for practical application. Based on these findings, a high-performance and high-stability PMS-AOPs system with tunable activation pathways was successfully developed for the decontamination of organic pollutant wastewater.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143026383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve the situation, an efficient kinetic promoter of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was proposed to enhance the hydration efficiency of mixed H<sub>2</sub> and 1,3-dioxolane (DIOX) hydrates, the micro structures of which were characterized via Raman spectra. In DIOX system, when CTAB was introduced, hydrate induction time reduces by 91.4 %, hydrate growth rate increases by 185.2 %, and the storage capacity of hydrogen in hydrates is up to 0.582 wt% under a moderate condition (12 MPa, 274.15 K), which increases by 99.32 %. Potential mechanisms behind the enhancement were proposed, and it was deduced that CTAB changes the arrangement of interfacial water molecules and induces hydration shells, which decrease the nucleation energy barrier as confirmed by the profiles of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), giving rise to fast hydrate nucleation. In addition, hydrogen molecules were thought to enter the cavity of CTAB micelles, which serve as hydrogen vehicles to enhance the mass transfer of hydrogen by interfacial capture and inner release, resulting in fast hydrate formation. To the best of our knowledge, CTAB presents the best promotion effect on the nucleation and growth of H<sub>2</sub>/DIOX mixed hydrates among known kinetic promoters, and this finding promotes the application of clathrate hydrates on hydrogen moderate storage a small step forward.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143026387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, hollow ZIF-67 loaded sandy sediment (H-ZIF-67@SS) was synthesized to construct a bifunctional reactor combining solar evaporation and PMS-based advanced oxidation processes. The results showed that the unique structure of H-ZIF-67 enhanced the multiple reflection effect and prolonged the contact time of light within the cavity, while inhibiting the escape of light from the cavity, thereby significantly improving light absorption and photothermal conversion at the evaporation interface. In addition, the oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of H-ZIF-67@SS and the nanoscale confinement effect suppressed the hydrogen bonding interactions between water molecules, effectively reducing the enthalpy change of water evaporation. Consequently, the H-ZIF-67@SS exhibited an excellent water evaporation rate (1.62 kg·m<sup>−2</sup>·h<sup>−1</sup>) and solar evaporation efficiency (93.12 %). Moreover, the nano-confined spatial structure enriched with Co-N active sites allows H-ZIF-67@SS to efficiently activate PMS and degrade the typical pharmaceutical contaminant carbamazepine (CBZ) simultaneously during the water evaporation process. Experimental results under various water environmental conditions further showed that this dual-function solar evaporation system displayed outstanding tolerance to different water environments, indicating its promising potential for practical applications.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143026739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we propose a facile approach to improve the ECH reaction of FF over Cu foil by surface modifications with MOF-808, a Zr-based metal–organic framework with abundant terminal –OH/OH<sub>2</sub> groups. The coordinatively unsaturated Zr site (Zr-CUS) present in framework could act as Lewis acid center to interact with the carbonyl oxygen of FF, thus facilitating the diffusion of FF from the electrolyte solution to near-surface region of Cu electrode. The terminal –OH/OH<sub>2</sub> functional groups on the node could serve as proton donors and/or acceptors, thereby creating the proton-rich environment at the surface of Cu electrode.

Cellulose acetate (CA) is an environmentally friendly filtration material with great application potential. However, its polyhydroxyl structure and weak polarization make it difficult to construct high electrostatic, which is not conducive to filtration. Here, we report a molecular chain spacing expansion strategy for achieving high-performance cellulose-based electrospun materials for air filtration by coordination with copper ion (Cu<sup>2+</sup>). Through the coordination we show that the restriction of CA hydrogen bonding network for its dipole orientation polarization under the external electric field (independent polarization properties) is weakened, i.e., its dipole moment was greatly improved from 5.23 debye to 8.86 debye.

To address these problems, we report a photo/electrothermal fabric for achieving efficient continuous all-weather evaporation. Such fabric is prepared by coating graphene oxide-polyvinyl alcohol (GO-PVA) on conductive carbon fiber cloth (CFC) through a brushing-crosslinking route. GO-PVA hydrogel coating enables the transformation of hydrophobic CFC into super-hydrophilic CFC@GO-PVA, accompanied by the decrease in evaporation enthalpy to 1917.36 kJ kg<sup>−1</sup> compared with pure water (2408 kJ kg<sup>−1</sup>). CFC@GO-PVA fabric shows high photoabsorption efficiency (95.9 %) in 280–2500 nm and good photothermal effect. When CFC@GO-PVA is used to construct a hanging heliotropic evaporator, it exhibits a photothermal evaporation rate of 2.31 kg m<sup>-2</sup>h<sup>−1</sup> under 1 sun illumination. Simultaneously, CFC@GO-PVA fabric has excellent electrothermal conversion performance owing to the conductive property of CFC and the heat transfer channel of GO, and an electrothermal evaporation rate of 10.39 kg m<sup>-2</sup>h<sup>−1</sup> can be achieved at low voltage (3 V). Interestingly, with the combined effect of 1 Sun and 3 V, CFC@GO-PVA fabric reaches a remarkable evaporation rate of 14.16 kg m<sup>-2</sup>h<sup>−1</sup>. The present high synergetic evaporation performance is attributed to the high photo-electrothermal coupling temperature which can reduce water viscosity, yielding a faster interface-water–vapor escape. Importantly, the fabric demonstrates good stability without salt crystallization during long-time evaporation tests. Therefore, the present study offers a new perspective on designing photo-electrothermal materials for all-weather seawater evaporation.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143026384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
