Single‐Atom Photocatalyst as Floatable Artificial Leaf for Upcycling Oceanic Plastic Waste

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
To resolve the catastrophic disaster of oceanic plastic pollution, the novel Ru single atom loaded ZnIn2S4 photocatalysts, in the forms of powder or floatable artificial leaf, were prepared for direct conversion of raw polypropylene plastic into valuable chemicals. The optimized catalyst exhibits exceptional performance, with a total formic/acetic acid

Photochemical Fuel Carrier Molecules for Robotic Embodied Energy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We designed a novel fuel carrier photoresponsive molecule for on‐demand energy storage and release. Carrier molecules undergo bond scission under UV light to release chemical fuel and locally generate propulsive Marangoni flows. We demonstrate this photochemical embodied energy strategy in small‐scale robots and active matter systems, enabling ...

Chemical composition and ecotoxicity of plastic and car tire rubber leachates to aquatic organisms.

Water Research, 2019
Synthetic polymer-based materials are ubiquitous in aquatic environments, where weathering processes lead to their progressive fragmentation and the leaching of additive chemicals.

Relationship of Dye Adsorption Onto Biomass Activated Carbon Mixed Matrix Ultrafiltration: A Mass Transfer Model Study

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study explored dye molecule adsorption from water, focusing on activated carbon in polymer membranes for purifying low‐quality water. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes showed enhanced removal efficiency of methylene blue (MB) from 89.29% to 98.33% with biomass‐activated carbon (BAC).

Unlocking the Full Potential of Zinc Oxide/Cerium Oxide Composite Nanoparticles for Removal of Mixed Pharmaceutical and Dye Pollutants in Water

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ZnO/CeO2 composite nanoparticles synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method simultaneously degrade ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, methylene blue, and methyl orange in a four‐component mixture under UV irradiation. The Ce3+/Ce4+ redox cycling and oxygen vacancies at the ZnO/CeO2 interface suppress charge recombination and enhance reactive species ...

Identification and functional analysis of YB-1 and YB-2 from Amur minnow (Phoxinus lagowskii)

Aquaculture Reports
In vertebrates, Y-box proteins play a pivotal role in stress regulation. In this study, we cloned two Y-box genes (YB-1 and YB-2) from the cold-water fish, Amur minnow (Phoxinus lagowskii). Our findings showed that the full-length AmYB-1 and AmYB-2 genes

Toxicity of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles to aquatic organisms of different trophic levels.

Chemosphere, 2020
Although biosynthesized nanoparticles are regarded as green products, research on their toxicity to aquatic food chains is scarce. Herein, biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (Alcea rosea-silver nanoparticles, AR-AgNPs) were produced by the reaction of ...
