Article Abstract
To understand the roles of pore structures and functional groups on acetone adsorption, activated carbons (ACs) with different properties were obtained by surface modification. XRD, SEM, TEM and nitrogen adsorption were used to identify the structural characteristics of the ACs, while TG-DTA, FTIR, XPS and Boehm titration were applied to analyse the surface chemistries. The microporous surface areas showed a positive linear correlation to the acetone adsorption amounts, and increasing the carboxylic groups could improve the uptake of strongly adsorbed acetone. HNO modified AC (AC-N) was found to exhibit an excellent adsorption capacity of 5.49 mmol g, which might be attributed to the developed microporous structures and abundant carboxylic groups. The desorption activation energies ( ) of strongly adsorbed acetone on AC-N and AC were both determined to be 81.6 kJ mol, indicating the same adsorption sites on different activated carbons, suspected to be carboxylic groups. The possible adsorption mechanism of acetone on carbonaceous surfaces was also proposed.

Developing low-temperature gas sensors for parts per billion-level acetone detection in breath analysis remains challenging for non-invasive diabetes monitoring. We implement dual-defect engineering via one-pot synthesis of Al-doped WO nanorod arrays, establishing a W-O-Al catalytic mechanism. Al doping induces lattice strain to boost oxygen vacancy density by 31.

Chemiresistive gas sensors have emerged as a promising technology for gas detection, due to their real-time response, low costs, high sensitivity, excellent stability, and facile fabrication. However, the full realization of their potential is currently constrained by the scarcity of sensing materials capable of delivering high selectivity and ultrafast response. In this study, we prepared a three-dimensional inverse opal macroporous SnO doped with NiO (3DIO NiO-SnO).

Pharmaceuticals have long been used to treat diseases in humans and animals and to control pests of plants/crops. However, with the identification of these contaminants in the environment, it is of major concern. While they have been documented either in soil or groundwater as separate entities, there are limited investigations on their sources.

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (P204) is widely used in extraction processes in the nuclear and rare earth industries. However, its high solubility in water results in high levels of total organic carbon and phosphorus in aqueous environments, and may also lead to radioactive contamination when it is used to combine with radionuclides. In this paper, we characterized a coconut shell activated carbon (CSAC) and a coal-based activated carbon (CBAC) for the adsorption of P204 and then evaluated their adsorption performance through batch and column experiments.

This study focuses on the electro-oxidation of isopropanol on low-index platinum single-crystal surfaces─Pt(111), Pt(110), and Pt(100)─in acidic electrolytes containing either sulfuric acid (HSO) or perchloric acid (HClO). The aim is to elucidate the roles of crystallographic orientation and electrolyte anions in the reaction pathway and associated dynamic instabilities. While conventional voltammetric and spectroscopic techniques provide insights into reaction products and adsorbed intermediates, galvanostatic experiments are employed here to probe the emergence of potential oscillations, which serve as sensitive indicators of nonsteady-state surface processes.
