Article Abstract

Adsorption and photocatalysis are effective in removing organic pollutants from wastewater. This study is based on the memory effects of MgAl-layered double hydroxides (MgAl-LDHs) after high-temperature calcination. By introducing bismuth vanadate (BiVO) during the reformation of the layered structure via contact with water, a composite material BiVO/MgAl-LDHs with enhanced adsorption and visible light catalytic performance was synthesized. The effects of the calcination temperature, ratio, initial methylene blue (MB) concentration, and catalyst dosage on the adsorption and photocatalytic performance were investigated. The BiVO/MgAl-LDHs showed better photocatalytic performance than the pure BiVO and MgAl-LDHs. Under the optimal conditions, the proportion of MB adsorbed in 20 min was 66.1%, and the percentage of MB degraded during 100 min of photolysis was 92.4%. The composite photocatalyst showed good chemical stability and cyclability, and the adsorption-degradation rate was 86% after four cycles. Analyses of the adsorption and photocatalytic mechanisms for the composite material showed that synergistic adsorption and visible light photocatalysis contributed to the excellent catalytic performance of the BiVO/MgAl-LDHs. A highly adsorbent photocatalytic composite material exhibiting outstanding performance was prepared via a simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method, providing reference information for the removal of organic pollutants from liquids.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia with multiple clinical manifestations and complications, such as cardiovascular disease, kidney dysfunction, retinal impairment, and peripheral neuropathy. Continuous and minimally invasive glucose monitoring is essential for effective DM management. Microneedles (MNs)-based sensing platforms offer a promising solution; however, conventional polymeric MNs suffer from limited electrochemical sensitivity due to their insufficient electroactive surface area and inefficient loading of catalytic and enzymatic components.

Isovalent anion substitution has been shown to have a tremendous effect on the transport properties in lithium halide solid ionic conductors. Although sodium-ion solid state batteries based on chloride ionic conductors have recently gathered significant attention, investigations of anion substitution in sodium containing chlorides remain scarce. Here, we investigate the role of Br isoelectronic anion substitution in a perovskite-related compound with nominal composition of NaTaCl.

Infected wound treatment remains a critical challenge in clinical medicine. Although existing treatments, like local debridement, antimicrobial agents, and growth factor therapies, have demonstrated certain therapeutic effects, they primarily target only specific stages of wound healing. Moreover, the escalating issue of antibiotic resistance limits their efficacy.
