Article Abstract
Biochar stability determines the effectiveness of biochar's functions such as carbon sequestration, soil structure improvement, soil fertility enhancement and soil pollution remediation. However, a fast method for accurately predicting biochar long-term stability in soil remains elusive. Here, firstly, an incubation experiment was conducted on mineralization dynamics of different C-labelled biochars over 368 days to explore their actual mineralization in soils and establish their mineralization model. Thereafter, ten treatments of fast chemical oxidation methods using KCrO (0.1 M) with different H concentrations and oxidation times were applied to the biochars to reveal which method best matches the mineralization of biochar in soils. Results showed that the percentage of biochar‑carbon oxidized by the solution containing 0.1 M KCrO and 0.2 M H at 100 °C for 2 h was in accordance with the one that potentially would be mineralized in soils at a 100-year scale (R > 0.99; REMS = 2.53; RD = 15.3). The results provided a chemical oxidation method that was robust, effective, low cost and highly available for measuring the long-term stability of biochar in soils.

A novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE) system with superior performance was successfully developed through local chemical modification from thiophene to thiophene sulfone. This approach, leveraging easily accessible tetraphenylthiophene precursors, dramatically enhances the photophysical properties in a simple oxidation step. Notably, the representative 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylthiophene sulfone (3c) demonstrates remarkable solid-state emission characteristics with a fluorescence quantum yield of 72% and an AIE factor of 240, substantially outperforming its thiophene analog.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are transformative platforms for heterogeneous catalysis, but distinguishing atomically dispersed metal sites from subnanometric clusters remains a major challenge. This often demands the integration of multiple characterization techniques, many of which either lack the resolving power to distinguish active sites from their surrounding environments (e.g.

Dispersing iridium onto high-specific-surface-area supports is a widely adopted strategy to maximize iridium utilization in anode catalysts of proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). However, here we demonstrate that the overall cell performance, including initial efficiency and long-term stability, does not benefit from the typical high specific surface area of catalyst supports. The conventional understanding that high iridium utilization on high-specific-surface-area supports increases activity holds only in aqueous electrolytes, while under the typical working conditions of PEMWE, the mass transport within the anode catalyst layers plays a more significant role in the overall performance.

Background: Free radicals play a key role in spinal cord injury and curcumin has the potential to act as an antioxidant agent. Controlled delivery of curcumin can be achieved through encapsulation in bovine serum albumin to form nanoparticles, and acellular scaffold can bridge lesions and improve axonal growth in spinal cord injury.
Objective: In this study, we evaluated the antioxidant effects of the scaffold containing curcumin nanoparticles in the unilateral spinal cord injury model in male rats.
