Herein, a fluorine-doped ultrathin porous carbon nitride (F-CN) photocatalyst with frustrated Lewis acid-base pairs (FLPs) was developed, consisting of electron-deficient F and adjacent N as Lewis acid and base site, respectively. The introduction of FLPs not only induced F atoms to form an F–H bond with the –OH of sugar, promoting isomerization (e.g., the conversion of xylose to xylulose), but also modulated the electronic structure of g-C₃N₄ by inhibiting exciton effect. This expedited photogenerated carrier migration and facilitated electron accumulation onto the N atoms, promoting the generation of superoxide radicals for selective C–C bond breaking (e.g., of xylulose), thus enabling the exclusive production of LA. The conversion of xylose over F-CN reached 99 %, achieving an ultrahigh LA yield of 94.8 % within 70 min at 40 ℃ under visible-light irradiation. Mechanistic investigations validated that the synergistic role of hydrogen bonding and the swift production of •O₂⁻ contributed to the greatly enhanced photocatalyst performance. Moreover, the life-cycle assessment demonstrated that an established photocatalytic system offered significant advantages compared with existing industrial LA production methods in terms of global warming potential (GWP), abiotic resource-fossil fuel (DAR), and ecotoxic potential (ETP). This study provides a paradigm of tailor-made development of non-metallic photocatalysts through regulating the electron transport path enabled by H-bond interaction for oriented conversion of biomass and complex organics.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"153 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144153884","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}

The catalyst achieved exceptional performance in nitroaromatic pollutant reduction, exhibiting reaction rate constants of 2.286 min⁻¹ and 2.226 min⁻¹ with turnover frequencies (TOF) of 29.07 min⁻¹ and 69.43 min⁻¹ for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and 4-nitroaniline (4-NA) removals, respectively, surpassing control materials and prior counterparts. The catalyst’s practical versatility was demonstrated through its remarkable reduction of not only 4-NP and 4-NA isomers but also mixed nitroaromatics and dyes in complex wastewater. The catalyst proved excellent reusability, sustaining reliable catalytic activity and structural robustness across five consecutive cycles. Mechanistic insights revealed the critical role of metastable Au-H intermediates and a ternary electronic synergy between CeO₂, Au/SnO₂ and CNTs in lowering activation energy to drive otherwise non-spontaneous, endothermic reduction pathways.

In this study, a strategy of treating WAS with potassium ferrate (PF) and citric acid (CA) was proposed to enhance WAS solubilization and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production. The effects of CA on VFAs production and methanogenesis following PF pretreatment of WAS were analyzed from multiple perspectives, including EPS dissolution, organic matter conversion, enzymatic activity, and electron transfer. The results demonstrated that the combined pretreatment effectively promoted WAS hydrolysis and solubilization, leading to significant changes in the microbial community structure and composition. This process resulted in the targeted enrichment of key microorganisms involved in VFAs production, such as <em>Enterococcus</em>, <em>Macellibacteroides</em> and <em>Bacillus</em>. The addition of CA regulated pH, increased the activity of key hydrolytic enzymes in anaerobic microorganisms, and significantly elevated the proportions of acetate and butyrate in VFAs through the Citric Acid Cycle (TCA), enabling efficient and rapid VFAs production. This study highlighted the regulatory role of CA in mitigating the inhibitory effects of PF pretreatment on acid-producing bacteria and offered an efficient pretreatment method for the production of VFAs from WAS.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144154038","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}

However, incomplete singlet Förster energy transfer often impedes exciplex-sensitized hyperfluorescent OLEDs from concurrently achieving high color purity and high light-emitting efficiency. Here, we propose a synergistically sensitizing strategy of ternary double exciplexes to facilitate efficient Förster energy transfer between exciplex sensitizers and fluorescent dopants and achieve high-efficiency solution-processed red fluorescent OLEDs with high color purity. It is disclosed that in the ternary double exciplexes-sensitized fluorescent system, the high-energy exciplex TPDI:PO-T2T contributes to high up-conversion efficiency of triplet excitons to singlet excitons via reverse intersystem crossing, while the low-energy exciplex TPDI:tBuCzDBA enables more efficient Förster energy transfer of singlet excitons to the fluorescent dopant DBP, ultimately achieving efficient narrowband electroluminescence. By employing the ternary double exciplexes to synergistically sensitize fluorescent DBP, the prepared fluorescent OLEDs achieve a maximum external quantum efficiency of 14.0 %, not only surpassing single exciplex-sensitized fluorescent devices, but also representing the highest value reported for the exciplex-sensitized red fluorescent OLEDs with x chromatic coordinate greater than 0.60. Furthermore, the enhanced Förster energy transfer leads to a narrowband emission from fluorescent DBP with a color coordinate of (0.64, 0.36), approaching the standard red color coordinate of (0.67, 0.33).","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144153889","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}

Herein, we pioneered a waste-derived strategy using NdFeB waste (NFBW) to activate H₂O₂ for establishing a heterogeneous Fenton-like system, achieving concurrent Cu-EDTA decomplexation and Cu capture. Remarkably, 99.10 % Cu-EDTA decomplexation and 96.84 % total Cu capture were synchronously achieved within 30 min. This one-step technology is effective over a wide pH range (2.0–9.5). Notably, this system demonstrated practical efficacy in treating rare-earth purification wastewater, achieving synchronous removal of heavy metals (Cu, Zn) and rare-earth elements (Yb, Ce) as mixed organic complexes with effluent meeting industrial discharge standards. Mechanistic investigations revealed that Cu-EDTA decomplexation originated from Fe(Ⅲ)-induced ligand substitution coupled with reactive oxygen species (·OH and ·O₂^-) attack. The ≡Fe(Ⅱ)/≡Fe(Ⅲ)-mediated heterogeneous Fenton reaction synergized with homogeneous Fe(Ⅱ)/Fe(Ⅲ) cycling to generate ROSs, where the B-B bonds and Fe⁰ in NFBW facilitated electron transfer for enhanced redox cycling. Possible pathways for the decomplexation of Cu-EDTA in this system are proposed. The 90.10 % TOC removal verified EDTA mineralization through stepwise degradation pathways. Liberated Cu(Ⅱ) was captured via multiple routes: surface reduction (Cu⁰), precipitation (Cu(OH)₂, Cu₂(OH)₂CO₃), and Fe(OH)₃ adsorption-flocculation. This work not only opens new avenues for Fenton-like treatment of HMC wastewater through a “waste-treats-waste” strategy but also provides new ideas for synergistic activation of H₂O₂ by multivalent iron materials.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144153961","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}

This study introduced a dual-network scaffold composed of amorphous magnesium calcium pyrophosphate (AMCP), cassava starch (CS), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), engineered to overcome these limitations. PVA integration reinforced hydrogen bonding within the scaffold, enhancing mechanical properties and orchestrating a controlled three-stage degradation process. This included mitigating initial swelling, promoting cell adhesion via improved surface roughness, and stabilizing the structure during bone ingrowth. The resulting construct promoted neurovascular bone repair by enhancing cell adhesion/proliferation while retaining ion release capacity. Mechanistically, the scaffold activated the PI3K-AKT pathway in osteoblasts (ROCK upregulation, ATP boost via Ppa1/ATP synthase), stimulated angiogenesis (VEGFA, Serpine1, VEGFR1, Cdkn1a), and promoted neurogenesis (Wasf1, Limk2). VEGFA-mediated endothelial cell activation appeared central to coordinating the process, leading to enhanced neuro-angio-osteo interactions.

Activated sludge acclimated under these conditions exhibits distinct microbial characteristics compared with those under low-altitude conditions, potentially influencing its response to Hg stress. In this study, the nitrogen conversion and oxidative stress responses of low-pressure-acclimated activated sludge (65 and 72 kPa) under short-term Hg(II) stress were investigated using metagenomic sequencing, enzyme activity assays, and metabolomic analysis. The results showed that nitrification and denitrification in low-pressure sludge were more significantly inhibited under Hg(II) stress, with a greater decline in functional gene expression and key enzyme activities than those in sludge acclimated under normal pressure (100 kPa). This phenomenon was attributed to disrupted carbon metabolism, impaired electron transport chain (ETC) function, and a weakened antioxidant defense system. Low-pressure conditions facilitated acetate metabolism and altered the abundance of ETC-related genes. This change affected electron flow and increased the possibility of electron leakage under Hg(II) stress, ultimately leading to increased reactive oxygen species production and exacerbated oxidative stress in sludge. The metabolomic analysis further revealed that low-pressure sludge exhibited more pronounced lipid peroxidation, tricarboxylic acid cycle disturbances, and purine metabolism dysregulation after Hg(II) exposure. These changes intensified oxidative stress and reduced microbial resistance to pollutant stress. Additionally, gene expression analysis showed reduced Hg reduction (<em>merA</em>) and increased Hg methylation (<em>hgcA</em>) gene expression. These findings reveal the high sensitivity of activated sludge acclimated under low-pressure conditions to Hg(II) stress, highlighting the different pollutant resistance characteristics of wastewater treatment systems in high-altitude regions.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144153886","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}
