Article Abstract
Contact-electro-catalysis (CEC) technology, recognized as an innovative catalytic approach, has attracted significant interest due to its unique reaction mechanisms and broad application potential in environmental pollution control. This technology enables efficient degradation of diverse organic pollutants, including antibiotics, dyes, and perfluorinated compounds, by converting mechanical energy into chemical energy and facilitating electron transfer at solid-liquid or liquid-liquid interfaces. Its attributes of simplicity, low energy consumption, and high efficiency underscore its promise for pollution management. This study provides a comprehensive exploration of the underlying principles of CEC, highlighting its role in augmenting interfacial electron transfer to drive redox reactions. Additionally, recent advances in catalyst development, spanning conductor, semiconductor, insulator, and composite designs, are analyzed to elucidate their critical influence on CEC performance. The findings aim to advance the understanding of CEC mechanisms, provide valuable insights into its wastewater treatment applications, and foster interdisciplinary research into its versatility and significant potential.

The development of innovative bioprocessing technologies has resulted from the growing global need for sustainable forms of energy and environmentally friendly waste treatment. In this review, we focus on the combined electro-fermentation and microbial fuel cells, as they form a hybrid system that simultaneously addresses wastewater treatment, bioenergy production, and bioplastics. Even though microbial fuel cells produce electricity out of the organic waste by the use of electroactive microorganisms, electro-fermentation improves the microbial pathways through the external electrochemical management.

Molecules that exhibit excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) have demonstrated great promise in fluorescent probes. The electronic effect of substituents has an important influence on the ESIPT process. In this study, we investigated the effects of substituents on the ESIPT mechanism and the photophysical behavior of single-benzene fluorophore (SBF) derivatives with computational chemistry methods.

The monolayer transistor, where the semiconductor layer is a single molecular layer, offers an ideal platform for exploring transport mechanisms both theoretically and experimentally by eliminating the influence of spatially correlated microstructure. However, the structure-property relations in polymer monolayers remain poorly understood, leading to low transistor performance to date. Herein, a self-confinement effect is demonstrated in the polymer monolayer with nanofibrillar microstructures and edge-on orientation, as characterized by the 4D scanning confocal electron diffraction method.

Solar-driven photocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction using covalent organic frameworks (COFs) offers a promising approach for sustainable hydrogen peroxide (HO) production. Despite their advantages, the reported COFs-based photocatalysts suffer insufficient photocatalytic HO efficiency due to the mismatched electron-proton dynamics. Herein, we report three one-dimensional (1D) COF photocatalysts for efficient HO production via the hydrogen radical (H•) mediated concerted electron-proton transfer (CEPT) process.

The construction of strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) is an effective strategy to enhance and control heterogeneous catalysts. However, conventional methods require pre-synthesized metal-loaded catalysts, followed by SMSI formation via high-temperature treatment under oxidative/reductive atmospheres, adsorbate-mediated treatment, and photo-treatment, adding complexity to catalyst synthesis and hindering continuous interfacial tuning. In this work, a "photobreeding" method is employed to treat ZnCdS, leveraging the UV-induced photochromic reaction of ZnS to generate metallic Zn at room temperature, while CdS remains inert.
