Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have potential applications for pollutant removal. Enhancing their pollutant removal ability by fully utilizing the synergistic effects of physical adsorption and chemical catalysis has received widespread attention. In this study, a high methyl orange (MO) removal capacity was achieved by utilizing the synergistic effects of physical adsorption and chemical catalysis of NiFe-LDH. wNiFe-LDH showed a significant removal amount of MO, up to 506.30 mg/g due to its reserving of the active surface to the largest extent. Experiment and molecular simulation clarified the high removal capacity derived from surface adsorption and the degradation ability of the active surface. The presence of more -OH groups on the surface enhanced the removal of MO, and the vacancies in the surface were beneficial for the formation of •O and contributed to the degradation of MO. As KSO was introduced, the removal rate of MO improved to 100% from 60.67%. However, a deeper study showed that the degradation was incomplete, as KSO inhibited the formation of •O, and the active species in the system changed to holes. The degradation path of MO was also altered. Thus, this study gives new insight into the reactivity of the active surface of NiFe-LDH and affords a new path to preserve the active surface.

Zeolite-confined Rh-based catalysts have emerged as promising heterogeneous candidates for olefin hydroformylation. However, they face challenges of reactant- and product-induced Rh leaching and aggregation. Herein, zeolite framework-anchored Rh-(O-Zn) sites were designed and are shown to have remarkable activity and stability for gas-phase ethylene hydroformylation.

The synthesis of -tetrakis(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)porphyrin [HT(3,4,5-OCH)PP] and cobalt(II) -tetrakis(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)porphyrin [Co(T(3,4,5-OCH)PP)] has been successfully accomplished. The oxidation properties of [Co(T(3,4,5-OCH)PP)] have been assessed through UV-vis, NMR, and EPR techniques. It can be seen in the UV-vis spectrum that adding SbCl caused extra peaks to appear at 674 nm, which means that a π-cation radical was formed.

The soil in reclaimed shale gas sites is compacted and suffers from issues like poor drainage, drought conditions, and nutrient deficiency, posing challenges for agricultural production. In this study, rare earth tailings were incorporated into biochar at different mass ratios (rare earth tailings: biochar = 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4). Subsequently, a series of rare earth tailings-doped biochar materials (REE-BC) were prepared by calcination at 700°C.

Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging contaminants increasingly recognized for their environmental and health implications. While surface water systems have been extensively studied, the presence, behavior, and impacts of MNPs in groundwater remain underexplored, despite its critical role as water source worldwide. The findings in this review highlight that agricultural activities, particularly plastic mulches, pesticides containers, fertilizer bags, greenhouses, are major sources of MNP.

Human parainfluenza virus 2 (HPIV-2) and human parainfluenza virus 4 (HPIV-4) are significant but underappreciated respiratory pathogens, particularly among high-risk populations including children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. In this study, we sequenced 101 HPIV-2 and HPIV-4 genomes from respiratory samples collected in western Washington State and performed comprehensive evolutionary analyses using both new and publicly available sequences. Phylogenetic and phylodynamic analyses revealed that both HPIV-2 and HPIV-4 evolve at significantly faster rates compared to mumps virus, a reference human orthorubulavirus.
