Article Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as priority contaminants in aquatic environments in recent years. Growing public concern surrounds their environmental and health impacts, as well as their contribution to future global environmental challenges. As emerging contaminants, key challenges lie in developing efficient methods for their detection, quantification, and removal from aqueous media. Numerous techniques for MP remediation from water have been reported in the literature. Among these, biomass-derived carbon presents several advantages, including low cost, abundance of raw materials, efficient removal capabilities, and sustainability. This review critically evaluates the potential of biomass-derived carbon for the removal of MPs from water. It provides a concise overview of MP sources and their environmental pathways. Additionally, it summarizes the synthesis methods and characteristics of biomass-derived carbon. The review elaborates on the removal performance and underlying mechanisms of MPs by these materials. Key challenges and future research recommendations are also discussed. This review provides valuable insights for researchers, summarizing the current research landscape and outlining strategies for advancing MP remediation using biomass-derived carbon.

Unlocking the Free Radical Evolution for Directed Conversion of Furoic Acid to 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid Over Lattice-Distorted MnOx.

Developing the efficient C─H bond activation carboxylation processes for furoic acid (FA) represents a critical technological challenge in achieving atom-economical synthesis of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Despite notable advancements in this field, the inherent contradiction between the high reactivity of furan rings and the chemical inertness of C─H bonds poses substantial technical bottleneck for achieving controllable C─H carboxylation under mild conditions. Herein, we report a high lattice-distorted MnOx catalyst with surface trench-like structures, wherein the Mn-O-conjugated configurations and electron-rich Mn cooperatively drive FA dehydrogenation and carbon radical reduction, inducing the free radical evolution process (FA→carbon-centered FA radical→FA carbanion), then coupled with solvent-polarized CO to accelerate the carboxylation process.

Carbonized wood has great potential as a self-supported electrode for energy storage/conversion applications. However, developing efficient and economical bifunctional electrodes by customizing the surface structure remains a challenge. This study proposes a novel multifunctional electrode design strategy, using N/P co-doped carbonized wood (NPCW) as carriers and in situ grows copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) as nucleation centers to induce vertical growth of CuCo-layered double hydroxid (LDH) nanosheets along the substrate.

A solvent- and catalyst-free protocol for the selective reductive deoxygenation of α,β-unsaturated ketones with pinacolborane (HBpin) has been developed. -OH/NH groups efficiently direct the transformation, affording 2-allylphenols and 2-allylanilines under mild conditions with excellent chemo- and regioselectivity. Mechanistic studies indicate a boron-assisted hydride transfer and carbocation pathway.
