Improving the dispersion of CuxO species is critical for enhancing the catalytic performance of CuxO/CeO2 catalysts in the preferential oxidation of CO. Herein, the 10CuxO/CeO2 catalyst was synthesized using a combined approach of one-step thermal de...

Hydrogen spillover, as a common phenomenon, pervasively occurs in heterogeneous catalysis. Nevertheless, the understanding of the dynamic mechanism of hydrogen spillover in the typical Pt/CeO2 system remains limited. Herein, the pathways for hydrogen...

Developing a catalyst with excellent electrical conductivity and catalytic performance for on-site testing of residual imidacloprid is significant and challenging. In situ growth of Mo2C nanodots on Co-induced N-doped carbon nanotubes (Co/Mo2C/N-CNT)...

In this study, we developed a palladium-catalyzed decarbonylative nucleophilic halogenation reaction using inexpensive and readily available acid anhydrides as substrates. This approach effectively circumvents the instability of acyl chlorides and th...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used in various industries and are increasingly found in environmental systems, especially in soil. However, the environmental behavior of TiO2 NPs is still poorly understood. Hence, this study a...

Granular activated carbon (GAC) serves as a cost-efficient electrocatalyst cathode in electrochemical water treatment. This study investigates the impact of current intensity and cathode mesh size on the electrocatalytic generation of reactive oxygen...

Water pollution by dyes is a major environmental problem, particularly in the textile, food, and pharmaceutical industries. These dyes are often complex chemical compounds that are difficult to remediate due to their chemical stability, their solubil...

This review explores the role of surfactants in enhancing or inhibiting the biodegradation of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) by microorganisms. Bioavailability, the extent to which pollutants can be accessed and metabolized by microbes, is a ke...

A rapid synthesis of structurally novel s-indacene-1,5-dione and cyclopentanone-fused isoxazole derivatives in generally moderate yields was achieved through the NaNO2-catalyzed/involved transformation of cyclopentenone-MBH acetates. Under similar re...

Esterases have been applied in many industrial fields. However, many esterases have inherent defects as natural enzyme, such as low long-term storability, poor operational stability, and difficulty in recovery for reuse. Herein, two histidine derivat...
