摘要：The study evaluated the adsorption of two antibiotics by four engineered adsorbents （hypercrosslinked resin MN-202, macroporous resin XAD-4, activated carbon F-400, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes （MWCNT）） from aqueous solutions. The dynamic results demonstrated the dominant influence of pore size in adsorption. The adsorption amounts of antibiotics on XAD-4 were attributed to the hydrophobic effect, whereas steric hindrance or micropore-filling played a main role in the adsorption of antibiotics by F-400 because of its high microporosity. Aside from F-400, similar patterns of pH-dependent adsorption were observed, implying the importance of antibiotic molecular forms to the adsorption process for adsorbents. Increasing the ionic concentration with CaCl 2 produced particular adsorption characteristics on MWCNT at pH 2.0 and F-400 at pH 8.0, which were attributed to the highly available contact surfaces and molecular sieving, respectively. Its hybrid characteristics incorporating a considerable portion of mesopores and micropores made hypercross linked MN-202 a superior antibiotic adsorbent with high adsorption capacity. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity of MWCNT on the basis of surface area was more advantageous than that of the other adsorbents because MWCNT has a much more compact molecular arrangement.

摘要：Self-healing metals possess the capability to autonomously repair structural damage during service. While self-healing concepts remain challenging to be realized in metals and metallic systems due to the small atomic volume of the mobile atoms, the slow diffusion unless at high temperatures and the strong isotropic metallic bonds, the scientific interest has increased sharply and promising progress is obtained. This article provides a comprehensive and updated review on the developments and limitations associated with the various modes of potentially healable damage induced in metals and alloys, i.e., stressinduced damage, irradiation-induced damage in bulk materials and contact damage in corrosion protective coatings. The spontaneous intrinsic healing mechanisms not requiring external assistance other than the material operating at the right temperature and an assisted healing mechanism with external intervention are reviewed. Promising strategies to achieve self-healing in metals are identified. Finally, we give some prospects for future research directions in self-healing metals.

摘要：Efficient tandem reactions on a single catalytic nanostructure would be beneficial to improving chemical transformation efficiency and reducing safety implications. It is imperative to identify the active sites for each single step reaction so that the entire reaction process can be optimized by designing and integrating the sites. Herein, hydrogen transfer reaction is taken as a proof-of-concept demonstration to show that the spatial integration of active sites is important to the catalytic efficiency of the entire process in tandem reactions. We identified specific active sites (i.e., various sites at faces versus corners and edges) for formic acid decomposition and alkene/nitrobenzene hydrogenation-the two steps in hydrogen transfer reactions, by employing three different shapes of Pd nanocrystals in tunable sizes. The investigation reveals that the decomposition of formic acid occurs preferentially at the edge sites of cubic nanocrystal and the plane sites of octahedral/ tetrahedral nanocrystals, while the hydrogenation takes place mainly at the edge sites of both cubic and octahedral/ tetrahedral nanocrystals. The consistency of active edge sites during different step reactions enables cubic nanocrystals to exhibit a higher activity than octahedral nanocrystals in hydrogen transfer reactions, although octahedrons offer comparable activities to cubes in formic acid decomposition and hydrogenation reactions. Guided by these findings, we further improved the overall performance of tandem catalysis by specifically promoting the limiting step through nanocatalyst design. This work provides insights into the rational design of heterogeneous nanocatalysts in tandem reactions.

摘要：ZnO is a typical direct wide-bandgap semiconductor material, which has various morphologies and unique physical and chemical properties, and is widely used in the fields of energy, information technology, biomedicine, and others. The precise design and controllable fabrication of nanostructures have gradually become important avenues to further enhancing the performance of Zn O-based functional nanodevices. This paper introduces the continuous development of patterning technologies, provides a comprehensive review of the optical lithography and laser interference lithography techniques for the controllable fabrication of Zn O nanostructures, and elaborates on the potential applications of such patterned Zn O nanostructures in solar energy, water splitting, light emission devices, and nanogenerators. Patterned Zn O nanostructures with highly controllable morphology and structure possess discrete three-dimensional space structure, enlarged surface area, and improved light capture ability, which realize the efficient carrier regulation,achieve highly efficient energy conversion, and meet the diverse requirements of functional nanodevices. The patterning techniques proposed for the precise design of Zn O nanostructures not only have important guiding significance for the controllable fabrication of complex nanostructures of other materials, but also open up a new route for the further development of functional nanostructures.
