Article Abstract

Biochar-derived dissolved organic matter (BDOM), is extensively involved in the recrystallization of minerals and the speciation alteration of associated toxic metals. This study investigates how BDOM extracted from tobacco petiole (TP) or tobacco stalk (TS) biochar influences the speciation repartitioning of Cr(VI) in environments impacted by acid mine drainage (AMD), focusing on interactions with secondary minerals during Schwertmannite (Sch) dissolution and recrystallization. TP-BDOM, rich in lignin-like substances, slowed down the Cr-Sch dissolution and Cr release under acidic conditions compared to TS-BDOM. TP-BDOM's higher O/C component exerts a delayed impact on Cr-Sch stability and Cr(VI) reduction. In-situ ATR-FTIR and 2D-COS analysis showed that carboxylic and aromatic N-OH groups in BDOM could interact with Cr-Sch surfaces, affecting sulfate and Cr(VI) release. It was also observed that slight recrystallization occurred from Cr-Sch to goethite, along with increased Cr incorporation into secondary minerals within TS-BDOM. This enhances our understanding of BDOM's role in Cr(VI) speciation changes in AMD-contaminated sites.

CsAc-Mediated Dynamic Reconstruction of Chloride Perovskite Films for High-Performance Self-Powered Near-UV Photodetectors.

Methylammonium lead chloride perovskite (MAPbCl), with its wide bandgap of ∼3 eV, exhibits unique advantages for near-UV to UV optoelectronic devices. However, the fast crystallization kinetics and significant solubility differences of MAPbCl precursors in solvents cause discontinuous films with high surface defect densities, severely limiting device performance. This study introduces a solution mediated dissolution recrystallization strategy to address the aforementioned issues, namely, employing a CsAc/methanol solution to dynamically reconstruct preformed MAPbCl films.

Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetyl succinate (HPMC-AS) is the most widely used polymer in commercially available amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs), due to its ability to aid dissolution of poorly soluble drugs while impeding drug recrystallization. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a well-suited approach to provide structural information on amorphous solids and access intermolecular interactions in multicomponent materials such as ASDs. The C spectral assignments for HPMC-AS differ in the literature, largely due to the significant structural complexity of this polymer, but are critical to identify drug-polymer interactions in ASDs containing HPMC-AS.

As a new generation of crystalline materials, coordination polymers (CPs) with modular structures have been widely investigated as precatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, controlling the structural transformation of CPs to form metal oxyhydroxide phases with high catalytic activity remains a challenge. Herein, two similar anionic metal oxalate chains, {[(DEAPA][Co(CO)]} () (DEAPA = ,-diethylpropane-1,3-diaminium) and {[CyNH][Co(CO)]·HO} () (CyNH = cyclopentylaminium), with different organic ammonium cations, are synthesized.

Mebendazole (MBZ), a brick dust molecule with poor aqueous solubility tends to precipitate at intestinal pH, impeding its gastrointestinal absorption. Moreover, the amorphous MBZ tends to recrystallize in conventional amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) during long-term storage, reducing its physical stability and solubility. The present investigation explored amorphous salt solid dispersion (ASSD), an emerging approach combining salt formation with ASD, where the counterion and polymer are crucial in forming a stable supersaturated system.

Microbial transformation of Fenton sludge to crystalline iron minerals with fermentation-derived phosphorous for heavy metal immobilization.

The reuse of Fenton sludge (FS) for heavy metal immobilization offers a sustainable waste management approach; however, its amorphous structure and limited functional groups hinder adsorption efficiency and stability. This study reports the microbial transformation of FS into crystalline Fe minerals via Fe(III)-reducing bacteria, using fermentation supernatant as a phosphorus source. Phosphate concentration plays a key role in determining mineral formation: low phosphate levels restricted microbial activity and Fe(II) production, leading to magnetite formation, while high phosphate levels enhanced microbial activity and Fe(II) generation, favoring vivianite formation.
