Flash Joule heating of highly porous graphene oxide (GO) aerogel monoliths to ultrahigh temperatures is exploited as a low carbon footprint technology engineer functional materials. Aerogel up 3000 K demonstrated for the first time, with fast kinetics (∼300 K·min–1), enabling rapid and energy-efficient flash treatments. The wide applicability ultrahigh-temperature in range material fabrication challenges. Ultrahigh-temperature used graphitic annealing hydrothermal GO aerogels at time scales...
Water vapor inevitably exists in the environment, which causes adverse impacts on many crucial chemical reactions. However, high water of up to 10 vol %─relevant a broad spectrum industrial practices-for catalytic implications has been less investigated or neglected. As such, we explored an industry-relevant, humidity-highly sensitive benzene oxidation only presence % using well-established Pt/Co
Mass transfer governs the overall catalytic performance of heterogeneous catalysts considerably; however, this fundamental research has often been ignored. Here, macroporous SiO2-supported Pt nanoparticle (Pt/SiO2-M) and mesoporous (Pt/SiO2-m) were specifically fabricated by a facile thermal reduction step to engineer resultant nanoparticles showing similar physiochemical properties while possessing completely different porous microstructures exclusively originating from SiO2 supports. On...
Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) offers a sustainable and low-carbon approach for CO2 valorization, with Shewanella oneidensis (S. oneidensis) MR-1 identified as an ideal microbe MES. However, no prior research has demonstrated that S. can directly metabolize into multicarbon (C2+) products due to its inability perform the intracellular formate assimilation pathway. Here, we provide initial proof-of-concept evidence of direct bioelectrochemical reduction C4 product malate. Specifically,...
Designing transition-metal oxides for catalytically removing the highly toxic benzene holds significance in addressing indoor/outdoor environmental pollution issues. Herein, we successfully synthesized ultrathin LayCoOx nanosheets (thickness of ∼1.8 nm) with high porosity, using a straightforward coprecipitation method. Comprehensive characterization techniques were employed to analyze catalysts, revealing their low crystallinity, surface area, and abundant porosity. Catalytic oxidation...
Abstract Developing high‐performance electrocatalysts for CO 2 reduction reaction (CO RR) is vital in achieving a carbon‐neutral society by converting into valuable chemicals. RR electrocatalyst with lower overpotential, higher selectivity and wider working potential range urgently desired, but it still challenging to realize these factors simultaneously. Here, bismuthene‐based were synthesized reducing bismuth precursors like BiCl 3 , BiBr BiI liquid phases. Especially, bismuthene‐I derived...
Abstract Ultrahigh‐temperature Joule‐heating of carbon nanostructures opens up unique opportunities for property enhancements and expanded applications. This study employs rapid electrical at ultrahigh temperatures (up to 3000 K within 60 s) induce a transformation in nanocarbon aerogels, resulting highly graphitic structures. These aerogels function as versatile platforms synthesizing customizable metal oxide nanoparticles while significantly reducing emissions compared conventional furnace...
Abstract Intracellular biosynthesis of massive quantum dots inside bacteria remains a grand challenge, with such technology unsatisfactory due to the high toxicity metal ions cell and ultralow yield dots. Herein, gshA ‐overexpressed Shewanella oneidensis MR‐1 strain was constructed ability effectively detoxify SeO 3 2− species, rendering formation substantial CdSe across entire entity. As such, photoexcited electrons generated from bacterium entity led promoted electron mobilization...
The oxidation states of metal-based electrocatalysts have been proved to be beneficial improve the product selectivity for electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECO2R), while it usually suffers from decay due reductive environment leading performance deterioration. Herein, we construct robust Sn/SnO2 Mott–Schottky heterojunction on biomass (sodium alginate)-derived carbon by a facile heat treatment method, which demonstrates high and robustness formate production ECO2R. wide partial current density...
