Biomass Native Structure Into Functional Carbon‐Based Catalysts for Fenton‐Like Reactions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study indicates that eight biomasses with 2D flaky and 1D acicular structures influence surface O types, morphology, defects, N doping, sp2 C, and Co nanoparticles loading in three series of carbon, N‐doped carbon, and cobalt/graphitic carbon. This work identifies how these structural factors impact catalytic pathways, enhancing selective electron

Transport of bisphenol A, bisphenol S, and three bisphenol F isomers in saturated soils

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023
Abstract With the limitation of the use of bisphenol A (BPA), the production of its substitutes, bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol F (4,4’-BPF) is increasing. Understanding the fate and transport of BPA and its substitutes in porous media can help reduce their risk of contaminating soil and groundwater systems.
