All‐in‐One Intelligent Hemostatic Sponge: Rapid Hemostasis for Non‐Compressive Wounds With Synergetic Enhanced Antibacterial Efficacy and Self‐Reporting Biodegradation

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Clinicians often concurrently tackle critical challenges including emergency hemorrhage, secondary infection, and the elusive tracking of biodegradation of conventional hemostatic agents for complex wounds. Here, we report an intelligent hemostatic sponge (spCS@AIE) by incorporating aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) nanoparticles with short‐wave ...

Integrated Solvent‐Catalyst‐Dopant Strategy via Acidic DES for Synthesizing Lignin‐Derived Carbon Dots With High‐Quantum Yield to Achieve Efficient Photocatalytic Degradation of Tetracycline

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A deep eutectic solvent (ChCl/pTSA) platform enables integrated solvent, catalyst, and dopant functions, producing sulfur‐doped carbon quantum dots with a high sp2‐C content (82.8%) and a quantum yield of 56.9%. When combined with TiO2, the CQDs form TiOC and TiOS interfacial bridges, achieving 97.3% tetracycline photodegradation with excellent ...

Biomass‐derived hydrochars as eco‐friendly adsorbents for wastewater treatment applications

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Emerging organic pollutants (EOPs), such as diethyl phthalate (DEP), bisphenol A (BPA), and methylene blue (MB), are only partially removed in conventional wastewater treatment plants. This study assesses hydrochars produced by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of spruce bark (SB), vine shoots (VSs), and wheat straw (WSs) for removing three ...
