Anchored atomic Ru-O4 architecture enables ultra-effective Fe(VI) activation via avoiding Fe(VI) self-decay for water purification

Nature Communications
Ferrate (Fe(VI)) is a prospective green oxidant owing to producing highly reactive Fe(IV)/Fe(V) for micropollutant degradation. However, the performance is significantly compromised by the severe side reaction of Fe(VI) self-decay with H2O, generating ...

The structure, factors and analytical frameworks of microbial food webs in aquatic ecosystems

Watershed Ecology and the Environment
Rivers and lakes are fundamental to global biogeochemical cycles and aquatic ecosystem stability. The health of these systems is largely governed by microbial food web (MFW) dynamics, which regulate energy transfer and nutrient cycling. However, existing

N2O production and novel nitric oxide reductases influenced by electron donors during denitrification in rivers

Earth Critical Zone
N2O is a potent greenhouse gas with strong impacts on global warming and ozone layer depletion. The well characterized nitric oxide reductases, cNor and qNor, have known roles in denitrification, while several additional clades—eNor, gNor, nNor, and sNor—
