Carbon black (CB) has a high conductivity and large surface area, which are the basis of an excellent electrocatalyst. However, CB itself is usually less active or even inactive toward two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e- ORR) due to absence highly functional groups with low content. To activate commercial for 2e- ORR, oxygen-containing were introduced onto by simple air calcination method. After oxidation treatment at 600 °C (CB600), content increased from initial 1.17 ± 0.15 4.08...
Abstract China has an extensive agricultural land degradation issue due to pollution, with 19·4% of its being contaminated. The government released ambitious Soil Pollution Prevention and Remediation Action Plan, aiming remediate millions hectares contaminated within the next several years. Amongst many challenges facing there is a need assess sustainability these actions, especially in arid semi‐arid regions where rehabilitation degraded particularly challenging. There growing body...
With knowledge on microbial composition and diversity, investigation of within-community interactions is a further step to elucidate ecological functions, such as the biodegradation hazardous contaminants. In this work, functional molecular networks were studied in both contaminated uncontaminated soils determine possible influences oil contamination potential functions. Soil samples obtained from an oil-exploring site located South China, genes analyzed with GeoChip, high-throughput...
Phytoremediation offers a nature based solution (NBS) for contaminated soil remediation; however, its application under brownfield redevelopment context has not been well studied. Moreover, climate change could impact large numbers of sites, yet there remains little research on the potential impacts remediation. This study examined phytoremediation at in San Francisco Bay area, where thousands cleanup sites are vulnerable to rising sea levels. Life cycle assessment (LCA) was used determine...
Carbon-based materials are important desirable in areas such as supercapacitors and capacitive deionization. However, traditional commercial heterogeneous prone to agglomeration nanoscale have structural limitation of electrochemical desalination performance due poor transport channels low capacitance prepared electrodes. Here, we introduce the facile strategy for controllable preparation two types hollow carbon-based nanotubes (HCTs) with amorphous mesoporous structures, which synthesized...
Summary We developed a biocompatible and highly efficient approach for functionalization of bacterial cell wall with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). Three Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 chromosomally based bioreporters, which were genetically engineered to express bioluminescence in response salicylate, toluene/xylene alkanes, functionalized 18 ± 3 nm iron oxide MNPs acquire function. The efficiency bioreporters was 99.96 0.01%. MNPs‐functionalized (MFBs) can be remotely controlled collected by an...
Aeration-based electrochemical systems to produce H2O2 face two major challenges: O2 mass transfer limitation and low utilization efficiency of sparged oxygen. To mitigate these problems, a Janus electrode (JE) asymmetric wettability with hydrophobic gas storage layer (GSL) hydrophilic catalyst (CL) was successfully fabricated by substrate hydrophobization subsequent catalyst-coating treatment. When at 6 mL min–1, the JE obtained generation rate 2.8 ± 0.02 mg h–1 cm–2 oxygen (OUE) 5.0 0.7%...
A PVDF–ZnO nanowires (NWs) hybrid generator (PZHG) was designed. simple, cost effective method to produce the PVDF β phase by nano force is introduced. With ZnO NWs growing, in situ extension promotes change. theoretical analysis of acting as a self-rectifier established. The acted self-adjustment diode control current output PZHG piezo-electric and semi-conductive effects. Based on self-controllability piezoelectric output, three kinds finger touching are distinguished performances PZHG,...
Arsenic contamination of groundwater has affected many countries, especially in Southeast Asia. Although aerated electrocoagulation (EC) provides an effective way to remove arsenite, this process is energy-intensive because aeration and relatively poor cathode performance. To overcome these disadvantages, a novel EC system was proposed using air generate H2O2 situ for improved energy efficiency As(III) removal. With the cathode, production rate 3.7 ± 0.1 mg L–1 h–1, which indirectly promoted...
