Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic Degradation of Xanthate in Flotation by g-CN/ZnInS Heterojunction: Experimental and DFT Studies.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) and zinc indium sulfide (ZnInS) were combined to form CN/ZIS composite materials via a hydrothermal method. The CN/ZIS composites were extensively characterized before they were used for photocatalytic degradation of sodium isobutyl xanthate (SIBX). Results revealed that 3CN/ZIS outperformed other materials, as evidenced by SIBX degradation efficiency of about 8.

Spray-Drying Synthesis of NaFe(PO4)PO@CNT Cathode for Ultra-Stable and High-Rate Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Iron-based phosphate is a promising cathode for sodium-ion batteries due to its low cost and abundant resources; however, the practical application is hindered by poor electronic conductivity, sluggish Na diffusion, and a lack of low-cost and scalable synthesis methods. To address such issues, herein, we present a low-cost and scalable spray-drying strategy to synthesize NaFe(PO)PO@CNT (NFPP@CNT) hollow microspheres. The NFPP@CNT composite has the following advantages: highly conductive CNT can significantly improve the electronic conductivity of the cathode, and the flexible CNT-based microsphere architecture facilitates Na diffusion and guarantees excellent mechanical properties to mitigate structural degradation during cycling.

Microwave-Assisted Rapid Substitution of Ti for Zr to Produce Bimetallic (Zr/Ti)UiO-66-NH with Congenetic "Shell-Core" Structure for Enhancing Photocatalytic Removal of Nitric Oxide.

Efficient nitric oxide (NO) removal without nitrogen dioxide (NO ) emission is desired for the control of air pollution. Herein, a series of (Zr/Ti)UiO-66-NH with congenetic shell-core structure, denoted as Ti-UION, are rapidly synthesized by microwave-assisted post-synthetic modification for NO removal. The optimal Ti-UION (i.

Atomic Fe/Zn anchored N, S co-doped nano-porous carbon for boosting oxygen reduction reaction.

Dual-single-atom catalysts are well-known due to their excellent catalytic performance of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the tunable coordination environment of the active sites. However, it is still challengable to finely modulate the electronic states of the metal atoms and facilely fabricate a catalyst with dual-single atoms homogeneously dispersed on conductive skeletons with good mass transport. Herein, atomic FeN/ZnN sites anchored N, S co-doped nano-porous carbon plates/nanotubes material (FeZnNSC) is rationally prepared via a facile room-temperature reaction and high-temperature pyrolysis.

Multi-step forecast of PM and PM concentrations using convolutional neural network integrated with spatial-temporal attention and residual learning.

Accurate and reliable forecasting of PM and PM concentrations is important to the public to reasonably avoid air pollution and for the governmental policy responses. However, the prediction of PM and PM concentrations has great uncertainty and instability because of the dynamics of atmospheric flows, making it difficult for a single model to efficiently extract the spatial-temporal dependences. This paper reports a robust forecasting system to achieve accurate multi-step ahead forecasting of PM and PM concentrations.

Simulation of gaseous pollutant dispersion around an isolated building using the k-ω SST (shear stress transport) turbulence model.

Unlabelled: The dispersion of gaseous pollutant around buildings is complex due to complex turbulence features such as flow detachment and zones of high shear. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models are one of the most promising tools to describe the pollutant distribution in the near field of buildings. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) models are the most commonly used CFD techniques to address turbulence transport of the pollutant.

On the kinetics of the absorption of nitric oxide into ammoniacal cobalt(II) solutions.

Experiments were conducted using a custom double-stirred tank reactor to determine the rate constants of reactions between nitric oxide (NO) and both pentaaminecobalt(II) and hexaaminecobalt(II) at temperatures of 298.2 and 303.2 K and pH levels between 8.

The a3 isoform of the 100-kDa V-ATPase subunit is highly but differentially expressed in large (>or=10 nuclei) and small (

Osteoclasts dissolve bone through acidification of an extracellular compartment by means of a multimeric vacuolar type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase). In mammals, there are four isoforms of the 100-kDa V-ATPase "a" subunit. Mutations in the a3 isoform result in deficient bone resorption and osteopetrosis, suggesting that a3 has a unique function in osteoclasts.
