Single-atom catalysts have received widespread attention for their fascinating performance in terms of metal atom efficiency as well special catalysis mechanisms compared to conventional catalysts. Here, we prepared a high-performance catalyst single-Cu-atom-decorated boron nitride nanofibers (BNNF-Cu) via facile calcination method. The as-prepared shows high catalytic activity and good stability converting different nitro compounds into corresponding amines both with without...
Boron nitride (BN)-based materials, which are commonly used as metal-free catalysts for thermal catalysis and pollution degradation, have shown potential photocatalytic reduction of CO2 into valuable carbon fuels. However, the poor performance insufficient explanation reaction mechanism very few reported BN-based still seriously restrict practical development. Herein, we synthesize a hierarchical BN-like flower catalyst composed nanofibers (∼50 nm) by combining an in situ self-assembly...
To alleviate the greenhouse effect and address related energy crisis, solar-driven reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to value-added products is considered as a sustainable strategy.

Porous boron nitride (BN) materials have been considered as a promising material for CO2 capture and storage. It was found that the Cu2+ ion can modify nucleation mechanism during synthetic reaction between boric acid melamine leading to formation of Cu-loaded BN nanofibers with uniform smaller diameter.

Solar steam generation is considered as an efficient way for addressing water shortage issues via seawater desalination and wastewater purification. In a solar evaporator, absorber would convert optical energy to heat evaporating nearby water. this process, many low-boiling-point contaminants can also be evaporated along with steam, which compromises the effectiveness of There is, so far, no study on removal such organic pesticides in wastewater. To address problem, we demonstrate versatile...
