Abstract
Transition metal sulfides have exhibited remarkable advantages in gaseous elemental mercury (Hg0) capture under high SO2 atmosphere, whereas the weak thermal stability significantly inhibits their practical application. Herein, a novel N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) insertion strategy via crystal growth engineering was developed to successfully enhance the Hg0 capture ability of MoS2 at an elevated temperature for the first time. The DMF-inserted MoS2 possesses an edge-enriched structure and an expanded interlayer spacing (9.8 Å) and can maintain structural stability at a temperature as high as 272 °C. The saturated Hg0 adsorption capacities of the DMF-inserted MoS2 were measured to be 46.91 mg·g-1 at 80 °C and 27.40 mg·g-1 at 160 °C under high SO2 atmosphere. The inserted DMF molecules chemically bond with MoS2, which prevents possible structural collapse at a high temperature. The strong interaction of DMF with MoS2 nanosheets facilitates the growth of abundant defects and edge sites and enhances the formation of Mo5+/Mo6+ and S22- species, thereby improving the Hg0 capture activity at a wide temperature range. Particularly, Mo atoms on the (100) plane represent the strongest active sites for Hg0 oxidation and adsorption. The molecule insertion strategy developed in this work provides new insights into the engineering of advanced environmental materials.

Atomic scale interfacial magnetism and origin of metal-insulator transition in (LaNiO[Formula: see text])[Formula: see text]/(CaMnO[Formula: see text])[Formula: see text] superlattices: a first principles study. Sci Rep 2023; 13:5056.

Abstract
Interfacial magnetism and metal-insulator transition at LaNiO[Formula: see text]-based oxide interfaces have triggered intense research efforts, because of the possible implications in future heterostructure device design and engineering. Experimental observation lack in some points a support from an atomistic view. In an effort to fill such gap, we hereby investigate the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of (LaNiO[Formula: see text])[Formula: see text]/(CaMnO[Formula: see text])[Formula: see text] superlattices with varying LaNiO[Formula: see text] thickness (n) using density functional theory including a Hubbard-type effective on-site Coulomb term. We successfully capture and explain the metal-insulator transition and interfacial magnetic properties, such as magnetic alignments and induced Ni magnetic moments which were recently observed experimentally in nickelate-based heterostructures. In the superlattices modeled in our study, an insulating state is found for n=1 and a metallic character for n=2, 4, with major contribution from Ni and Mn 3d states. The insulating character originates from the disorder effect induced by sudden environment change for the octahedra at the interface, and associated to localized electronic states; on the other hand, for larger n, less localized interfacial states and increased polarity of the LaNiO[Formula: see text] layers contribute to metallicity. We discuss how the interplay between double and super-exchange interaction via complex structural and charge redistributions results in interfacial magnetism. While (LaNiO[Formula: see text])[Formula: see text]/(CaMnO[Formula: see text])[Formula: see text] superlattices are chosen as prototype and for their experimental feasibility, our approach is generally applicable to understand the intricate roles of interfacial states and exchange mechanism between magnetic ions towards the overall response of a magnetic interface or superlattice.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 443:130179. [PMID: 36270190 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.130179] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2022] [Revised: 09/24/2022] [Accepted: 10/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The simultaneous control of Hg0 and chlorinated organics has become the frontier of environmental engineering but still lacks the understanding of synergistic oxidation mechanism. Herein, we designed a Mn-Co catalyst with abundant oxygen vacancies and acidities, which delivered more than 90 % oxidation performance of Hg0 within 100-325 °C and achieved 90 % conversion of chlorobenzene at 220 °C. A synergistic effect was observed in the oxidation of Hg0 and chlorobenzene. Experimental and computational results revealed that Lewis acid over Mn site weakened C-Cl bands of chlorobenzene by electronic traction. The strong interaction between adsorbed mercury and Cl further promoted dechlorination process to generate HgCl2 gas, while accelerating the nucleophilic substitution of Brønsted acid attacking the benzene ring over Co site, consequently triggering synergistic oxidation of Hg0 and chlorobenzene. Oxygen vacancies enhanced the initial adsorption of Hg0 and chlorobenzene. Meanwhile, the interfacial charge-transfer from Hg-d to Cl-p orbitals alleviated deactivation of Lewis acid and slowed down the consumption of Brønsted acid, which accelerated the conversion of intermediates to CO2/H2O and promoted deep oxidation of chlorobenzene. This work provides a unique insight into the promotion of the synergistic oxidation of Hg0 and chlorobenzene and is expected to guide the industrial applications.

Abstract
Defect engineering is a promising method for improving the performance of MoS2 in various fields. In this study, sulfur-defect-enriched MoS2 (SD-MoS2) nanosheets were fabricated via a facile microwave-hydrothermal strategy in 10 min for tetracycline (TC) adsorption applications. The introduction of sulfur defects in MoS2 induced more exposed unsaturated sulfur atoms at the edge, enhancing the interaction between the adsorbent and antibiotic and improving the adsorption activity of the antibiotic. Density functional theory calculations further revealed that sulfur defects in MoS2 could alter the electronic structure and exhibited low TC adsorption energy of -2.09 eV. This work provides a new method for fabricating MoS2 nanosheets and other transition metal dichalcogenide-based adsorbents with enhanced antibiotic removal performance and a comprehensive understanding of antibiotic removal mechanisms in SD-MoS2.

Abstract
Growing levels of mercury pollution has made countries urgently need a suitable mercury treatment technology. Among various technologies, heterogeneous oxidative mercury removal via different modified V/Ti-based SCR catalysts is considered as a promising approach due to excellent economic value and removal efficiency. Although various related modification experiments have been worked in recent years, the research on the performance, including activity and resistance, and mechanism of catalysts still needs to be improved, so it is necessary to summarize these experiments to guide further work. This article will review many modifications start from the V/Ti catalyst. Not only the performance of these catalysts, but also a lot of speculation about the mercury removal mechanism are include in our research. In addition, the characteristics of some modified catalysts have been linked with their oxidation mechanism and structural changes by comparing many studies, and finally attributed to some special properties of the corresponding modifiers. We expect this study will clarify the research progress of modified V/Ti-based SCR catalysts in mercury removal, and guide future modification so that some properties of the catalyst can be improved in a targeted manner.

Abstract
The water body environment is related to ecological and human health. Adsorption is an effective means to remove pollutants from water bodies. Currently, the common adsorbents suffer from disadvantages such as structural instability and poor adsorption performance under acidic conditions, which not only affect the adsorption efficiency but also cause secondary pollution of water bodies. In this study, a novel aminated multiwalled carbon nanotube-doped flower-like nanocomposite was designed, where the anionic or neutral groups were protonated under acidic conditions, and it displayed a higher adsorption capacity for dyes by ion exchange, represented by methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RB). WSe2 in the composite increases its adsorption sites. The adsorption efficiency of pollutants in acidic wastewater was enhanced while avoiding secondary contamination. The synthesized composites showed maximum adsorptions of 27.55 and 27.47 mg/g for MB and RB, respectively. The current work offers a novel approach to treating acidic wastewater.

Abstract
The large-scale production of CO2 in the atmosphere has triggered global warming, the greenhouse effect, and ocean acidification. The CO2 conversion to valuable chemical products or its capture and storage are of fundamental importance to mitigate the greenhouse effect on the environment. Therefore, exploring new two-dimensional (2D) materials is indispensable due to their potential intriguing properties. Here, we report a new family of 2D transition metal borides (M2B2, M = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, and Fe; known as MBenes) and demonstrate their static and dynamic stability. These MBenes show a metallic nature and exhibit excellent electrical conductivity. The CO2 adsorption energy on MBenes ranges from -1.04 to -3.95 eV and exhibits the decreasing order as Sc2B2 > Ti2B2 > V2B2 > Cr2B2 > Mn2B2 > Fe2B2. The spin-polarization calculation shows a reduction in the adsorption energy for magnetic systems. Bader charge transfer indicates the formation of CO2δ- moiety on the MBene surface, so-called activated CO2, which is essential for its reaction with other surface chemicals. Differential charge density plots reveal a significant charge accumulation around the CO2 molecule. Our theoretical results predict the usage of new MBenes as a cost-effective catalyst for CO2 capture and activation.

Comparison of pyrite-phase transition metal sulfides for capturing leaked high concentrations of gaseous elemental mercury in indoor air: Mechanism and adsorption/desorption kinetics.

Abstract
Understanding the characteristics of pyrite-phase transition metal sulfides for the adsorption and desorption of gaseous elemental mercury (Hg0) is of vital significance for their applications in gaseous Hg0 capture. In this study, the adsorption and desorption of gaseous Hg0 onto pyrite-phase transition metal sulfides (i.e., FeS2/TiO2, CoS2/TiO2, and NiS2/TiO2) were compared, and the mechanisms of their differences were revealed by the kinetic analysis. The Co/NiS and SS bonds in dumbbell-shaped CoS2 and NiS2 were not entirely broken after oxidizing physically adsorbed Hg0, whereas the FeS and SS bonds in dumbbell-shaped FeS2 were. Thus, the activation energies of CoS2/TiO2 and NiS2/TiO2 for oxidizing physically adsorbed Hg0 were smaller than that of FeS2/TiO2, causing the stronger abilities of CoS2/TiO2 and NiS2/TiO2 to oxidize physically adsorbed Hg0 than that of FeS2/TiO2. However, the bonding strengths of Hg-S in HgS adsorbed on dumbbell-shaped CoS2 and NiS2 were relatively weaker because of the sharing of S2- in HgS with S- and Co2+/Ni2+, causing the decreases in heat stabilities of HgS adsorbed on CoS2/TiO2 and NiS2/TiO2. Therefore, HgS adsorbed on CoS2/TiO2 and NiS2/TiO2 can be voluntarily decomposed to release gaseous Hg0, which should be combined with FeS2/TiO2 for the emergency treatment of liquid Hg0 leakage indoors.

Abstract
In this work, a two-dimensional heterostructure of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and nickelhydroxyloxide (NiOOH) nanosheets supported on catkin-derived mesoporous carbon (C-MC) was constructed and exploited as an efficient electrocatalyst for overall water splitting. The C-MC nanostructure was prepared by pyrolyzing biomass material of catkin at 600 °C in N2 atmosphere. The C-MC network exhibited hollow nanotube structure and had a large specific surface area, comprising trace nitrogen and a large amount of oxygen vacancies. It further served as the support for the growth of NiOOH nanosheets (NiOOH@C-MC), which was combined with MoS2 nanosheets by in situ growth, yielding a multicomponent electrocatalyst (MoS2@NiOOH@C-MC). By integrating the superior hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance of MoS2, oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance of NiOOH, and the fast electron transfer capability of C-MC, the prepared MoS2@NiOOH@C-MC illustrated a low potential of - 250 mV for HER and 1.51 V for OER at the current density of 10 mV cm-2. Consequently, when applied as the working electrode for driving overall water splitting in a two-electrode system, the bifunctional MoS2@NiOOH@C-MC electrocatalyst displayed a low cell voltage of 1.62 V at the current density of 10 mA cm-2. The present work provides a new strategy that uses biomass material for developing bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting.

Abstract
Field-effect transistors (FETs) have tremendous applications in the electronics industry due to their outstanding features such as small size, easy fabrication, compatibility with integrated electronics, high sensitivity, rapid detection and easy measuring procedures. However, to meet the increasing demand of the electronics industry, efficient FETs with controlled short channel effects, enhanced surface stability, reduced size, and superior performances based on low-dimensional materials are desirable. In this review, we present the developmental roadmap of FETs from conventional to miniaturized devices and highlight their prospective applications in the field of optoelectronic devices. Initially, a detailed study of the general importance of bulk and low-dimensional materials is presented. Then, recent advances in low-dimensional material heterostructures, classification of FETs, and the applications of low-dimensional materials in field-effect transistors and photodetectors are presented in detail. In addition, we also describe current issues in low-dimensional material-based FETs and propose potential approaches to address these issues, which are crucial for developing electronic and optoelectronic devices. This review will provide guidelines for low-dimensional material-based FETs with high performance and advanced applications in the future.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 404:124108. [PMID: 33032090 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.124108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2020] [Revised: 09/21/2020] [Accepted: 09/22/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Ag-modified vanadium silicate (EVS-Ag) has been regarded as a superior sorbent for elemental mercury (Hg0) capture from coal-fired flue gas. However, the atomic-level reaction mechanism which determines Hg0 adsorption capacity of EVS-Ag sorbent remains elusive. Reaction mechanism and active sites of Hg0 adsorption over EVS-Ag sorbent were studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations systematically. DFT calculation results indicate that silver exchange shows little effects on the geometric structure of EVS-10 sorbent. Hg0 adsorption on EVS-10 and EVS-Ag surfaces is controlled by the physisorption and chemisorption mechanisms, respectively. Ag2 cluster is determined to be the most active site of Hg0 adsorption over Ag-modified EVS sorbent. The adsorption energy of Hg0 on Ag2 cluster is -51.93 kJ/mol. The orbital hybridization and electron sharing between Ag and Hg atoms are responsible for the strong interaction between EVS-Ag surface and Hg0. HgO prefers to adsorb on Ag2 cluster of EVS-Ag sorbent, and yields an energy release of 306.21 kJ/mol. HgO desorption from EVS-Ag sorbent surface needs a higher external energy, and occurs at the relatively higher temperatures. O2 molecule promotes Hg0 adsorption over EVS-Ag sorbent. HgO species can be easily formed during Hg0 adsorption over EVS-Ag sorbent in the presence of O2.

Abstract
Effectively weakening the bond strength of Zn-S in S-Zn-S on ZnS is of great significance to the improvement of its performance for the urgent disposal of liquid Hg0 leakage indoors. In this work, ZnS was loaded on three common supports (i.e., TiO2, SiO2, and Al2O3) to further improve its performance for capturing high concentrations of Hg0 indoors. After being loaded on TiO2, the S-Zn-O bond was present on ZnS, and the bond strength of Zn-S in S-Zn-O was significantly weaker than that in S-Zn-S because Zn2+ preferred to O2- than S2-. Hence, physically adsorbed Hg0 was much easier to bond with S in S-Zn-O than that in S-Zn-S to form HgS. Therefore, TiO2 showed a novel support effect on ZnS for Hg0 capture, and the Hg0 capture performance of ZnS/TiO2 was greatly better than those of ZnS, ZnS/SiO2, and ZnS/Al2O3. Moreover, the promotion mechanism of ZnO loading on Hg0 adsorption onto TiO2-S was discovered after comparing the Hg0 adsorption kinetic parameters of TiO2-S and ZnS/TiO2. The promotion of ZnO loading was primarily related to the notable increase in the content of S2- that can bond with physically adsorbed Hg0, which predominantly resulted from the strong interaction of ZnO/TiO2 with H2S.

Abstract
Developing efficient sorbents with rapid kinetics is the main challenge encountered for Hg0 capture from coal combustion flue gas in a sorbent injection scenario. Binary mineral sulfide-based materials combining copper sulfide (CuS) and zinc sulfide (ZnS) to exert their capabilities for Hg0 capture at the low- and high-temperature was for the first time reported for Hg0 removal to realize a wide temperature range sorbents. When the molar ratio between CuS and ZnS was 10%, the as-synthesized 10Cu-Zn nanocomposite exhibited excellent Hg0 uptake rate at 150°C that could degrade 40 μg/m3 of Hg0 to undetectable level at the end of a 60-s experiment with the dosage of only 1 mg. This Hg0 uptake rate is folds higher compared to that when bare CuS or ZnS was adopted alone at this specific temperature. The typical flue gas atmospheres had negligible effect on Hg0 removal over 10Cu-Zn in a short contact time, which further suggests that the binary sorbents were proper to be injected before the electrostatic precipitator system. Moreover, it is found that, by adjusting the ratio between CuS and ZnS, it is potential to develop binary sorbent suiting any temperature conditions that may achieve an exceedingly high Hg0 capture performance. Thus, this work not only justified the candidature of 10Cu-Zn as a promising alternative to traditional activated carbon for Hg0 capture from coal combustion flue gas but also guided the future development of multi-component mineral sulfide-based sorbents for Hg0 pollution remediation from various industrial flue gases.

Abstract
Platinum telluride (PtTe2) has garnered significant research enthusiasm owing to its unique characteristics. However, large-scale synthesis of PtTe2 toward potential photoelectric and photovoltaic application has not been explored yet. Herein, we report direct tellurization of Pt nanofilms to synthesize large-area PtTe2 films and the influence of growth conditions on the morphology of PtTe2. Electrical analysis reveals that the as-grown PtTe2 films exhibit typical semimetallic behavior, which is in agreement with the results of first-principles density functional theory (DFT) simulation. Moreover, the combination of multilayered PtTe2 and Si results in the formation of a PtTe2/Si heterojunction, exhibiting an obvious rectifying effect. Moreover, the PtTe2-based photodetector displays a broadband photoresponse to incident radiation in the range of 200-1650 nm, with the maximum photoresponse at a wavelength of ∼980 nm. The R and D* of the PtTe2-based photodetector are found to be 0.406 A W-1 and 3.62 × 1012 Jones, respectively. In addition, the external quantum efficiency is as high as 32.1%. On the other hand, the response time of τrise and τfall is estimated to be 7.51 and 36.7 μs, respectively. Finally, an image sensor composed of a 8 × 8 PtTe2-based photodetector array was fabricated, which can record five near-infrared (NIR) images under 980 nm with a satisfying resolution. The result demonstrates that the as-prepared PtTe2 material will be useful for application in NIR optoelectronics.

Abstract
The application of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) for water decontamination is expanded toward a novel approach for mercury removal using nanofibrous mats coated with MoS2. A bottom-up synthesis method for growing MoS2 on carbon nanofibers was employed to maximize the nanocomposite decontamination potential while minimizing the release of the nanomaterial to treated water. First, a co-polymer of polyacrylonitrile and polystyrene was electrospun as nanofibrous mats and pretreated to form pristine carbon fibers. Next, three solvothermal methods of controlled in situ MoS2 growth of different morphologies were achieved on the surface of the fibers using three different sets of precursors. Finally, these MoS2-enabled fibers were extensively characterized and evaluated for their mercuric removal efficiency. Two mercury removal mechanisms, including reduction-oxidation reactions and physicochemical adsorption, were elucidated. The two nanocomposites with the fastest (0.436 min-1 mg-1) and highest mercury removal (6258.7 mg g-1) were then further optimized through intercalation with poly(vinylpyrrolidone), which increased the MoS2 interlayer distance from 0.68 nm to more than 0.90 nm. The final, optimal fabrication technique (evaluated according to mercuric capacity, kinetics, and nanocomposite stability) demonstrated five times higher adsorption than the second-best method and obtained 70% of the theoretical mercury adsorption capacity of MoS2. Overall, results from this study indicate an alternative, advanced material to increase the efficiency of aqueous mercury removal while also providing the basis for other novel environmental applications such as selective sensing, disinfection, and photocatalysis.

Abstract
Sulfuric acid aerosol (SAA) can considerably deteriorate air visibility, which poses a threat to human health. Pretreatment methods that enlarge SAA sizes are crucial to enhanced emission control from industrials. This study provides an insight into SAA growth in terms of aerosol dynamics simulation and growth experiments under simulated flue gas conditions. Results show that SAA growth dynamics are dominated by coagulation and condensation mechanisms for small and large aerosols, respectively. The two mechanisms are coupled mainly in SAA sizes smaller than 0.05 μm. A large amount of time was allotted for the SAA distribution to grow into an approximately log-normal form without the use of any activation methods. Cooling gas and corona discharge can both enhance SAA growth. Cooling gas is in charge of condensation, whereas corona discharge mainly acts on coagulation. They exhibited 14.3% and 12.3% increases in mean diameter and 12.3% and 69.1% decreases in number concentration. In contrast, adding vapor led to a 1.58% decrease in mean diameter and a 9.4% increase in number concentration. Findings suggest that combining cooling gas and corona discharge to simultaneously promote coagulation and condensation and reduce SAA emission from humid flue gas is possible.

Abstract
A series of novel two-dimensional materials inspired from a 4D polytope, tesseract, have been proposed by density functional theory (DFT) based computations. Both C24X12 and C16X16 (X = O, S and Se) are found to have great thermodynamic and dynamic stabilities, and C24X12 exhibited excellent thermal stability up to 1000 K. All these 2D crystals are semiconductors with 2.17 eV to 3.35 eV band gaps at the HSE06 theoretical level, except for C24S12 (4.14 eV energy gap). Moreover, the intrinsic pore sizes of C24Se12 are suitable to sieve He from the He/CH4 mixture, with over 80% separation ratio and nearly 100% selectivity. Our findings not only enlarged the boundary of the 2D family, but also offered another potential method to recover helium from natural gas at ambient conditions.

Abstract
A range of binary, ternary (CFS), and quaternary (CZTS) metal sulfide materials have been successfully deposited onto the glass substrates by air-spray deposition of metal diethyldithiocarbamate molecular precursors followed by pyrolysis (18 examples). The as-deposited materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (p-XRD), Raman spectroscopy, secondary electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, which in all cases showed that the materials were polycrystalline with the expected elemental stoichiometry. In the case of the higher sulfides, EDX spectroscopy mapping demonstrated the spatial homogeneity of the elemental distributions at the microscale. By using this simple and inexpensive method, we could potentially fabricate thin films of any given main group or transition metal chalcogenide material over large areas, theoretically on substrates with complex topologies.

Abstract
The role of natural gas in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and advancing renewable energy resource integration is undoubtedly critical. With the progress of hydrocarbons exploration and production, the target zones become deeper and the possibility of mercury contamination increases. This impacts on the industry from health and safety risks, due to corrosion and contamination of equipment, to catalyst poisoning and toxicity through emissions to the environment. Especially mercury embrittlement, being a significant problem in LNG plants using aluminum cryogenic heat exchangers, has led to catastrophic plant incidents worldwide. The aim of this review is to critically discuss the conventional and alternative materials as well as the processes employed for mercury removal during gas processing. Moreover, comments on studies examining the geological occurrence of mercury species are included, the latest developments regarding the detection, sampling and measurement are presented and updated information with respect to mercury speciation and solubility is displayed. Clean up and passivation techniques as well as disposal methods for mercury-containing waste are also explained. Most importantly, the environmental as well as the health and safety implications are addressed, and areas that require further research are pinpointed.

Abstract
Based on Volcano plotting, the controlled combination of weak and strong bond strengths of a bimetallic catalyst has the potential to maximize the catalytic effect via the formation of intermediate bond strength between the reactant and the two different types of active sites. In this study, a rational design approach was adopted to couple MoO3 and CeO2 to maximize the catalytic oxidation of Hg0 using oxygen as the oxidizing agent. It is found that CeO2 displayed a relatively strong bond strength with Hg0 while MoO3 has relatively weak bond strength with Hg0; the pre-doping of MoO3 results in the transformation of CeO2 from clusters to the form with additional exposed CeO2 (111) surface; the CeO2 and MoO3 show synergistic effect on the formation of Brønsted acid sites. Moreover, the results show that there is an overlap between the Hg0 desorption region of MoO3 and the Hg0 adsorption region of CeO2 (with adjusted optimum bond strength with Hg0), which contributes to the catalytic reaction of Hg0 by O2. Therefore, this study reveals that the synergistic effects of the coupling of CeO2 and MoO3 induced the reaction between Hg0 and O2, which is otherwise difficult.

Abstract
Simultaneous removal of coexisting metals and dyes from industrial wastewaters is challenging, and the mutual effects behind the co-adsorption of these pollutants remain unclear. Herein, interlayer-expanded MoS2 (IE-MoS2) nanosheets prepared by a one-pot simple and scalable method were tested to simultaneously remove toxic metals and cationic dyes. The adsorption capacities of IE-MoS2 nanosheets were 499, 423, 500, 355, and 276 mg/g for Pb(II), Cu(II), methylene blue, malachite green, and rhodamine B, respectively, in a mono-contaminant system. Interestingly, the sequestration amount of Pb(II) was dependent on the concentrations of dyes in the binary Pb(II)-dye systems, while uptake of cationic dyes was almost not influenced by coexisting Pb(II). The simultaneous adsorption mechanism was further confirmed by spectroscopic methods. The IE-MoS2 nanosheets were easily regenerated and reused for six adsorption-desorption cycles without structure destruction, thus avoiding the potential hazards of nanomaterial to the ecosphere. More interestingly, high-efficiency uptake of Pb(II) from intentionally contaminated natural water and model textile effluent was obtained by using a column filled with IE-MoS2 nanosheets. In summary, IE-MoS2 nanosheets with facile and scalable synthesis method, efficient adsorption performance, and excellent reusability showed potential promise for the integrative treatment of complex wastewater bearing both metals and organic pollutants.

Abstract
A simple synthesis strategy was designed and applied to synthesize nitrogen and sulfur co-doped aminated ligninsulfonate/graphene quantum dots (ASL/GQDs) composites using citric acid monohydrate and byproducts of the sulfite-pulping procedure (sodium lignosulfonate). The combination of these two materials improves surface chemical activities and electronic characteristics. As a result,the combination offers excellent photoluminescence properties and sensitivity. The fluorescence intensity of the as-prepared ASL/GQDs composites is more than three times that of the free GQDs. ASL/GQDs based fluorescent probe was applied to sensitively determine Ag+ with a good linearity in a range from 0.005 to 500 μM with a correlation coefficient of 0.99. The method was also used successfully to determine the amount of Ag+ in environmental water samples. Using an MTT assay, the ASL/GQDs have low toxicity and are biocompatible with A549 cells, and may be successfully used to image A549 cells.

Abstract
The space within the interlayer of 2-dimensional (2D) nanosheets provides new and intriguing confined environments for molecular interactions. However, atomic level understanding of the adsorption mechanism of CO2 confined within the interlayer of 2D nanosheets is still limited. Herein, we present a comparative study of the adsorption mechanisms of CO2 confined within graphene-molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets using density functional theory (DFT). A comprehensive analysis of CO2 adsorption energies (E AE) at various interlayer spacings of different multilayer structures comprising graphene/graphene (GrapheneB) and MoS2/MoS2 (MoS2B) bilayers as well as graphene/MoS2 (GMoS2) and MoS2/graphene (MoS2G) hybrids is performed to obtain the most stable adsorption configurations. It was found that 7.5 Å and 8.5 Å interlayer spacings are the most stable conformations for CO2 adsorption on the bilayer and hybrid structures, respectively. Adsorption energies of the multilayer structures decreased in the following trend: MoS2B > GrapheneB > MoS2G > GMoS2. By incorporating van der Waals (vdW) interactions between the CO2 molecule and the surfaces, we find that CO2 binds more strongly on these multilayer structures. Furthermore, there is a slight discrepancy in the binding energies of CO2 adsorption on the heterostructures (GMoS2, MoS2G) due to the modality of the atom arrangement (C-Mo-S-O and Mo-S-O-C) in both structures, indicating that conformational anisotropy determines to a certain degree its CO2 adsorption energy. Meanwhile, Bader charge analysis shows that the interaction between CO2 and these surfaces causes charge transfer and redistributions. By contrast, the density of states (DOS) plots show that CO2 physisorption does not have a substantial effect on the electronic properties of graphene and MoS2. In summary, the results obtained in this study could serve as useful guidance in the preparation of graphene-MoS2 nanosheets for the improved adsorption efficiency of CO2.

Abstract
The variational mode decomposition (VMD) method for signal decomposition is severely affected by the number of components of the VMD method. In order to determine the decomposition modal number, K, in the VMD method, a new center frequency method of the multi-threshold is proposed in this paper. Then, an improved VMD (MTCFVMD) algorithm based on the center frequency method of the multi-threshold is obtained to decompose the vibration signal into a series of intrinsic modal functions (IMFs). The Hilbert transformation is used to calculate the envelope signal of each IMF component, and the maximum frequency value of the power spectral density is obtained in order to effectively and accurately extract the fault characteristic frequency and realize the fault diagnosis. The rolling element vibration data of the motor bearing is used to test the effectiveness of proposed methods. The experiment results show that the center frequency method of the multi-threshold can effectively determine the number, K, of decomposed modes. The proposed fault diagnosis method based on MTCFVMD and Hilbert transformation can effectively and accurately extract the fault characteristic frequency, rotation frequency, and frequency doubling, and can obtain higher diagnostic accuracy.
