Article Abstract

Catalytic oxidation, an end-of-pipe treatment technology for effectively purifying volatile organic compounds (VOCs), has received widespread attention. The crux of catalytic oxidation lies in the development of efficient catalysts, with their optimization necessitating a comprehensive analysis of the catalytic reaction mechanism. Two-dimensional (2D) ultra-thin nanomaterials offer significant advantages in exploring the catalytic oxidation mechanism of VOCs due to their unique structure and properties. This review classifies strategies for regulating catalytic properties and typical applications of 2D materials in VOCs catalytic oxidation, in addition to their characteristics and typical characterization techniques. Furthermore, the possible reaction mechanism of 2D Co-based and Mn-based oxides in the catalytic oxidation of VOCs is analyzed, with a special focus on the synergistic effect between oxygen and metal vacancies. The objective of this review is to provide valuable references for scholars in the field.

Oximes serve as indispensable intermediates in synthetic chemistry, owing to their distinctive C═N─OH structure, conferring highly versatile reactivity. Synthesis of oxime via the electrochemical method has potential advantages, accompanied by the upgrading of industrialization. Herein, we propose a novel strategy by introducing nickel (Ni) mediation to obtain high-spin iron (Fe)(III) in phthalocyanine structure for synthesizing glyoxylate oxime via electrocatalytic nitric oxide (NO) coupling with keto acid.

Inspired by "the composition of catechol and amine groups in the adhesive proteins" of marine mussel and "brick-and-mortar" structure of nacre, we use polydopamine (PDA) as "mortar", graphene oxides (GO) nanosheets as "brick", and Pd ions as interfacial reinforcer, to fabricate nacre-like Pd enhanced PDA functionalized GO membranes (Pd@PDA/GO) with vacuum filtration-assisted assembly method. Meanwhile, in situ reduced Pd nanoclusters by PDA chains were well constrained within the resultant Pd@PDA/GO artificial nacre composites. Good interfacial adhesion with dense packing of the GO nanosheets was further confirmed with sub-nano level microstructure characterization by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy.
